Of course Buckingham had heard of the Central Controller of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and some people had even said that the Central Controller might have developed into artificial intelligence.
It's just that this thing is not in line with his professional field, so he just listened to it and let it go.
Anyway, artificial intelligence is indeed a taboo in the empire, but precisely because of the taboo, it has not been completely banned.
However, in most cases, researchers just play around with it. If anyone really dares to violate the ban, the empire will really dare to kill them.
So he couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no way?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes when he heard this, "There is really no way, but then again, what if there is a way?"
"If the Anti-Smuggling Department must fight with you, can one or two top executives be used?"
Although there is no supreme anti-smuggling department on this planet, the anti-smuggling department of the entire empire is one.
When Buckingham heard this reason, he immediately understood. He nodded, "Is that cripple in Tianrui now?"
"I don't know," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "But he can't make it now. He can make it to the base in six hours."
Buckingham said without hesitation, "Then just land as soon as possible."
Seeing the other party looking at him thoughtfully, his old face turned red and he took the initiative to explain.
"I'm not afraid of him, but if I get entangled with him, the two juniors will be in danger."
Qu Jianlei nodded casually, just keep talking and I will just listen.
As for the grievances between the two supreme beings, although he is also a bit gossipy, it is better not to listen to such things...
Just now I accidentally listened too much, and now it is impossible to fish in troubled waters.
Buckingham pondered for a moment and then asked, "Is there any plan to attack us with hot weapons?"
"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered simply, "At least I didn't find any similar instructions."
"That's good," Buckingham nodded, took a breath, and then gritted his teeth.
"When we land, we can rush out immediately. I will take care of everything."
Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, "It's good to have your words. Our little arms and legs really can't afford it."
No wonder everyone likes to hug their thighs. This feeling of having someone to protect you is really great for a lonely ghost like him.
The four people quickly formulated a series of battle strategies. Of course, these were only rough plans and would ultimately depend on the situation.
But even so, only the four of them knew about it, and other passengers and stowaways were excluded.
There must be some help among those people, and maybe someone with great background.
But Buckingham and the three people didn't consider it at all and simply ignored it.
This is not just a question of trust or distrust. Most of the supreme powers always behave this way.
I only care about the flowers in my house, whether others are cooking in the fire is none of my business!
Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, simply couldn't trust outsiders. If he hadn't been trapped by the Buckingham family, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them.
However, not long after, something went wrong again. The starship kept hanging high in the sky and refused to land.
The foursome have a plan in mind. You look at me, I look at you, but no one understands the situation.
But weren't there other passengers on the starship? Some people angrily went to inquire about the news - why didn't they land when they arrived at the place?
The comfort level of interstellar voyage is not too bad, but you can go home soon, but it doesn't stop. What's going on?
The flight attendant gave the answer, this... The new landing system is being tested below, which may delay everyone's time.
This reason made the passengers lose their temper. Various planets in the empire have been working hard to improve the efficiency of starship lifting.
The operation of the star port cannot be suspended, and it is completely understandable that it will cause lifting congestion in the short term.
For the starships of Interstellar Aviation, these unexpected situations are acceptable, and everyone pursues safety first.
It’s not like we encountered danger in space, it was just in low-Earth orbit, right at our doorstep.
At present, it is only a congestion caused by civilian testing. If we really encounter military drills, we don’t know how long it will take.
However, the flight attendant's explanation only relieved the anxiety of most passengers, but the foursome felt something was wrong.
This means that the more you know, the more distress you get.
Another hour passed and the starship was still hanging in the sky. The B-class man couldn't stand it anymore and went out to ask what was going on.
His grandfather's opponent, Lame Man, will arrive in three hours. Time is really running out.
He didn't think that his grandfather couldn't beat the other party, but with two of his own burdens, wouldn't it be better to leave as soon as possible?
However, the flight attendant's answer to him was "wait a moment". As for how long to wait? "It will be fine soon".
After another half an hour, the C-level woman also went out to ask, and the answers she got were the same "wait a moment" and "it will be fine soon."
Under normal circumstances, passengers on starships are relatively tolerant.
This is not to say that people in the Empire are easy to talk to - compared to China, people here have very explosive tempers and will fight if they disagree.
The key is that it's floating in low-Earth orbit, and I don't dare to jump down even if I have a parachute in my hand.
After another half hour, Buckingham couldn't help it anymore and went to ask in person, how long would it take?
The flight attendant knew that this person was a big shot. Although he didn't know how big he was, at least he could scare away the anti-smuggling team.
However, they really have nothing to tell us - and we don't know how long it will be!
Even though Buckingham was affable to Qu Jianlei, it was because he needed him.
Moreover, Qu Jianlei also gave him a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. As he got older, he would naturally not make unnecessary enemies.
Anyway, he didn't even show proper courtesy to the flight attendant, so he showed it directly.
"Since you can't determine the time, then let me land, now, immediately!"
To make this decision, he didn't need to inform those three people at all!
"Your Excellency, I'm really sorry," a young and beautiful star sister replied with a wry smile.
The empire has a high fertility rate, and although the death rate is also high, there is always no shortage of young people.
Therefore, the quality of the star ladies who serve interstellar flights is still guaranteed, and they will not be at the level of aunties.
Of course, the figure may be the kind of figure that Qu Jianlei doesn't like - rather strong, but really young and beautiful.
This star lady is particularly strong and has a bitter expression, "Maybe you don't know that the control of the starship has been taken over by the ground."
I knew this a day ago! Buckingham has no interest in correcting this little guy's misconception.
His face sank, "Turn off the autopilot and land manually!"
Starship driving emphasizes automation as the mainstay and manual operation as the supplement. It is impossible to give up the manual operating system at any time.
That is the last layer of insurance to maintain the safety of starships. Although autonomous driving is smart and efficient, it may trigger too many hidden dangers.
Among other things, a random string of unknown cosmic rays may have an impact on the autonomous driving system.
Wait, this logic sounds a bit imperfect?
The last time Xiaohu controlled the starship of Bida Cargo to orbit the star, even the manual steering failed.
It seems that the starship has not escaped from the gravitational field of the star until now...
In fact, that is not the case. Xiaohu controlled the starship and directly affected the underlying logic and basic control system.
That is to say, the relevant control units for manual driving were all controlled by Xiaohu, which resulted in that kind of result.
At present, the control of the starship by the Artificial Intelligence Department of the Audit Department does not touch the basic control unit.
Buckingham didn't understand this, but his knowledge was correct. The starship could indeed land manually.
The starship pilot refused to obey the other party's instructions, "You can kill me, but I am responsible for the lives of a whole ship of people."
Buckingham took out a transparent card without hesitation, which was the identity certificate of the awakened person - not supreme, just A-level.
In his other hand, a two-foot-long ice blade condensed. He raised his hand and pointed forward, speaking coldly.
"If you say no again, I can change the driver."
"Okay," the pilot immediately surrendered. Since there are A-level awakened people taking responsibility, it doesn't matter.
Awakened people are indeed a privileged class. If they are B-level, they are not qualified to force the landing - there are many people with this level of cultivation.
But A-level is enough, and the identity and status can withstand the relevant responsibilities.
There is another more important point. If Class A wants to kill him, he may not bear any responsibility - judging from the other party's attitude, there is obviously a reason.
The starship issued a landing request, regardless of the response from the ground tower.
"I repeat, there is an emergency here and we must land immediately."
The anti-smuggling department's starship base is not large, and is often used only to repair battleships or load weapons and ammunition.
Most of the time they will take off and land through public starports, and only use their own bases to perform special or secret missions.
The tower at the base immediately became chaotic, and the operator on duty yelled over the intercom, "Stop, ordering you to stop landing!"
"If you force a landing, you must bear all the consequences!"
Seeing that the opponent was falling down regardless, someone quickly reported to the control center, "Can it be shot down?"
"Nonsense!" the duty chief yelled loudly, "The whole Tianrui can see it, do you really think the Anti-Smuggling Department can do whatever they want?"
In some emergency situations, the Anti-Smuggling Department can indeed do whatever they want, and it is enough to find a reason to explain afterwards.
In the final analysis, they are responsible to their headquarters and have a statement to the local government and military, so long as they can save face.
However, when this happens, most of the time there is something real and military assistance is needed when necessary.
If you make something out of nothing, you will be more responsible. If something goes wrong, it may not come back.
There is a supreme being in the starship above now, and the possibility of something going wrong is 99%!
And there is a great possibility that it is a big mistake and the Supreme Being is angry. How can ordinary people stop it?
The current anti-smuggling department does not have a supreme leader. If the opponent really wants to be ruthless, even if the entire base is wiped out, it will not be difficult.
Someone else made a suggestion, "Can you let 'it' in the central control system freeze the other party's manual driving?"
Immediately, a technician said, "This is very difficult and we may not have enough time..."
"And with so many people watching, it may expose the existence of 'it'."
