Chapter 1546 The truth of the eldest son Shi Lezhi
In the narration of the two robot girls starting with n, Hao Ren's understanding of the "survivor society" in the sky finally changed from a head full of imagination and vague data observed by Nolan into some more real impressions.
According to 4 and 6, the survivor society consists of two larger "territories", namely the giant Zenith space station located in high orbit, and the large industrial fortress complex located on the moon: the lunar surface base
, these two territories each undertake different functions.
The role of the giant space station "Zenith" is different from what Hao Ren originally expected. It is not a base camp for survivors, but an outpost and command center. This huge and ancient space station has been in service for many
In the early 1990s, compared with this space station hanging in a high orbit, the lunar surface base located further away was obviously safer. Therefore, the real base camp of the survivor society was on the moon. The location of the Zenith constellation determined that it was not
It can become a stable place to live, but it is also an excellent bridgehead. It is responsible for dispatching and commanding the rebel forces that go to attack the home star, and provides temporary military stationing and comprehensive repair, supply, and maintenance services.
Troops who are rotated to fight on their home planet will regard the Zenith as their temporary "home".
The lunar base is the foundation of the survivor society. It is the source of raw materials and factory clusters that the resistance relies on for survival. In that base filled with factories, mines, barracks, and ecological domes, a large number of war machines have been fired.
The "biomass" that is constantly produced and required for human survival is basically synthesized there. It is the production center, and it is also the place where most of the warriors who vow to take back their home planet are born and live. Like n-4
General-purpose combat-type "Agents" like the N-6 were produced on lunar bases.
In the long struggle of thousands of years, the survivors dug up almost one-tenth of the material of this natural satellite to maintain the losses of their seemingly never-ending war. This is a quite astonishing number.
It is said that this continuous consumption has even changed the moon's orbit and the climate of its parent star.
As for the total number of "agent troops" in these two bases, both n-6 and n-4 chose to remain tight-lipped. Apparently, the "security level" of Hao Ren and his party in the hearts of these two robot girls has not risen enough to talk freely.
The extent of one’s own military secrets.
On the lunar base, there is another extremely important location that can be regarded as the "capital" of the survivor society.
n-4 calls it a "fortress". She said that it is a fortress built with super alloy and high-tech technology. The fortress has the strongest structure and layers of protective shields, as well as powerful defensive firepower and combat effectiveness.
The incredible "Tau Guard Legion", even if Galactus personally launches an attack, may not be able to chew through the protective shell of the fortress. The fortress is the most important core of the survivor society, with a super thinking center called the "Master Brain"
Placed there, it is the highest command unit of all agents, and in the "Final Palace", the most heavily protected fortress, lives the last human descendants of this civilization.
Obviously, this is more important and sensitive information, but N-4 did not hide this from Hao Ren, because the fortress cannot be hidden at all. It is too huge and eye-catching. Just take a look with an astronomical telescope.
You can know that the "capital" of the survivors is the metal structure built in the central area of the lunar base. The specific situation of the agent troops can be kept secret, but the existence of the fortress cannot be concealed, so she simply told these things and at the same time
Emphasizing the strong protective power of that fortress, in order to remind Hao Ren that it is best not to pursue that place.
In a way, the thinking of this robot lady is actually quite simple, maybe because the enemies she and her compatriots usually have to deal with are not that high in IQ at all?
The humans living in the "Palace of the End" never leave their shelter, but their survival is certain, although ordinary mass-produced agents like n-4 and n-6 are not qualified to meet humans.
(Mainly because there are too many agents, and few humans survive.) However, the Tau Guards Corps in the fortress and the mastermind who uses the fortress as a "base" maintain direct communication with humans.
As an artificial intelligence group that relies on logic systems and authority systems to maintain social operations, there are no lies or deceptions among agents. At least that’s how n-4 describes it. Therefore, even if they have not seen humans, n-6 and n-4
They are all convinced that their creator still exists and is watching them from that high base on the moon.
To be honest, after hearing the descriptions of the two robot girls about the human survivors on the moon, Lily had some disdainful thoughts. In her opinion, those who launched fire into space thousands of years ago left behind their own
The home planet defense troops who come down to defend the surface defense line are worthy of awe. The humans who board the Ark and shoulder the mission of preserving the fire of civilization are also another kind of warriors. However, they huddle on the lunar base and do not even dare to step out of the fortress.
One-step descendants are not so admirable.
Although there is an eldest son on the surface of the mother planet, the eldest son did not hit the moon with cannonballs and laser beams. Do the surviving humans not even have the courage to step out and take a look at their homeland?
However, these thoughts just went around twice in the Husky girl's mind. Although she was stupid, she was not stupid. She knew how important the position of "creator" was in the minds of the two robot ladies, so she rashly said that humans
If you say anything bad, I'm afraid they will both go berserk.
Hao Ren also had thoughts similar to Lily's, but he didn't struggle with this issue. He was just a civilized observer. Observing, recording, compiling reports, and transporting the coffin back to his superiors were his duties.
Work, as for what development route these civilizations have chosen, that is not what he has to worry about, and he believes that there should be a reason why those human survivors chose to lock themselves in the fortress, and it is not just as simple as "fear".
Did some strange work content seem to have slipped in just now? Forget it, there’s nothing wrong...
"I thought humans would act with you before," Hao Ren rubbed his eyebrows and looked at N-6, "Because we analyzed the wreckage of your crashed aircraft and found that you were just the co-pilot of the aircraft... Could it be that the master
Isn’t the driver human?”
There seemed to be a look of pride on n-6's face: "The position of the main pilot is always reserved for humans. They just don't fight side by side with us for the time being, but when we finally regain our homeland, the position next to us will be
Someone will sit on it!"
Hao Ren didn't expect such an answer. He was stunned for a moment before speaking: "...Huh?"
"We are agents, tools to carry out their great will on behalf of the creators." n-4 nodded slightly, as if he said this with a sense of mission, "In the early days, the creators could still
When they fight side by side with us, we are their assistants, and this mission will never change. We will sit in the co-pilot position and complete the tasks assigned to us by the creators under the watchful eyes until the end.
The day of victory has arrived.”
Hao Ren looked into N-4's eyes quietly, and the latter also responded with a calm look. Maybe it was not a calm look, but just a look on standby, waiting to receive new information, but Hao Ren seemed to feel some kind of name.
Something that is a belief truly exists deep in the heart of this artificial intelligence.
They are really no different from humans...
"I understand," Hao Ren relaxed. He turned to N-6 and changed the question, "There are some details. First of all, do you call the 'eldest son' on your own planet Galactus?"
"This is a name given by humans," n-6 nodded. "It spreads out from the depths of the earth's crust and devours everything on the planet. It is naturally called Planet Devourer. You call it 'Eldest Son'? Is there one on other planets as well?"
Something like that?”
"Yes, and it exists on almost every ecological planet. The truth about this kind of creature is probably very different from what you know..." Hao Ren sighed helplessly, realizing that the indigenous people of this planet were not interested in this kind of creature.
The eldest son didn't know the truth, so he ended the topic decisively, "Now is not the time to explain this to you. I will explain it to you in detail when I have the opportunity. I want to ask, you and..." Planet
Has the Devourer's war always been like this? What I mean is that it stays on the planet, neither taking the initiative nor surrendering, and you keep sending bombers to deal with its tentacles, and there is nothing you can do.
Even though they won the victory and were not defeated by it, the stalemate has always been maintained?"
This is not something that needs to be kept secret, so n-4 answered simply: "This situation has lasted for at least three thousand years, but it was not like this at first."
Vivian immediately showed an interested expression: "That wasn't the case at first?"
"According to information from a large think tank, in the first few thousand years, humans and the mechanical legions led by humans faced catastrophe several times. The planet devourer used power far beyond today's to hunt down the survivors who fled the earth. The most serious
At that time, the 'Zenith' even had to escape far into the depths of the universe, and returned to the orbit of its parent star after five centuries of exile. But three thousand years ago, the situation changed..."
Hao Ren suddenly realized that the "brain death" of his eldest son was the key turning point: "What happened at that time? Did the activity of Galactus decrease significantly after that?"
"According to the records of the big think tank, it was the moment when Zenith was once again facing life and death. The beam launched by Galactus penetrated the shield system of the space station, and a huge canyon opened in the earth, which can almost be seen from space.
The body of Galactus is located in the core of the earth, but suddenly, a meteorite rain came, and a large number of celestial fragments of unknown origin fell towards the mother star, and happened to crash into the canyon. Galactus was severely damaged. Although
It immediately closed its crust to protect itself, but after several days of earthquakes, it lost most of its strength."
The sentences used by n-4 when telling this period of history are full of emotional descriptive words. They are not like the way of speaking of an artificial intelligence at all, because this period of history is not told in her own way, but comes directly from
Records in the Great Think Tank This record comes from human observers three thousand years ago.
Except for the two robot ladies, everyone at the scene looked at each other.
Hao Ren murmured to himself: "The eldest son... was smashed into an idiot by a meteor shower? Are you kidding me?" 8)
