Chapter 752: Doomsday Fortress: Virus Prototype
"Bang"
Lao Jiang placed a black USB-disk-like object on the table beside him. He raised his head and said to the large blue entity projected by the navigation center in front of him:
"I have brought my master uncle here. Take a look at what kind of disguise he needs to access the war network of the Alpha World without being discovered."
"Hold on."
Big Blue nodded.
Soon, a delicate robotic arm stretched out from the silver-gray metal wall, picked up the data storage device, and placed it into the reading device of the navigation center.
While the two sides were exchanging data, Big Blue and Boss Jiang talked about another matter.
"Our expedition fleet has been to the thirty star sea regions you have identified, but unfortunately, we have only found traces of civilization in seven of them.
The other twenty-three...
Just like before, there were only ruins and corpses of civilization in the past. And even those seven were tortured by disasters, and they all needed high-intensity civilization intervention to survive. "
"Isn't this something we have guessed long ago?"
Faced with this result, Jiang Xia remained calm.
Having witnessed many disasters in the stars, he has a very clear understanding of the current situation outside the domain. The remaining civilizations in the vast sea of stars are not even one-tenth of what they were in their heyday.
Civilizations that can survive the demonic disaster of the wasteland lord all have their own means.
In such a backdrop of endless destruction, there is no such thing as pure luck.
"We found at least seven, which is a pleasant surprise. I had originally planned to get nothing in my first rescue mission."
Boss Jiang took out a cigarette and lit it.
He blew out a puff of smoke and said:
“Bring back the remaining lives of those seven civilizations and place them in the mechanical satellite of the Eden World. After the quarantine and observation period is over, I will assign them new places to live.
In addition, has the Kumu Great Universe Civilization Database been created?"
"Well, I mobilized a data satellite as its carrier, and the internal program and management AI have been written."
Big Blue nodded and said:
“It’s called a big database, but it’s actually more like a cemetery of civilizations. Currently, the records of all the civilizations we’ve come into contact with have been categorized and uploaded.
These include the seven surviving civilizations discovered this time and twenty-one dead civilizations.
For civilizations that can find the remains of individual lives, their gene sequences have been extracted, and these data will also be stored in the biological sample library of the civilization database. "
“It’s not just a commemoration.”
Lao Jiang raised his head and said to the Central Committee:
"If the genetic samples of those dead civilizations contain certain characteristics we need, you still need to start the cloning and rebirth program. The disaster caused by the Lord of the Wasteland is not a natural selection, and the civilizations destroyed by him do not mean that they have no merit.
They just lack time to grow.
I know that this method goes against the civilized norms of the Eden world, but considering the current situation, this kind of screening cloning is necessary.
If we can survive this, I will let them rest in peace."
"I understand. I'll make the arrangements."
The Central did not refute with moral or other reasons, it accepted the task calmly. It asked again:
"In addition to the advance fleet of the Eden World, the Zhoutian Star Array stored in the M World has also been tested. So, Boss Jiang, do you want to restart the Great Exploration Era?"
"Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a big rescue."
Boss Jiang laughed and said:
“And it’s not preparation.
Yesterday, my fellow disciples conducted a simulated search. The Zhoutian Star Array, combined with the armillary sphere left by Juzi, can accurately locate 40% of the star field points.
This is much more efficient than me identifying the target star region and then sending your fleet to rescue.
From now on, our model is that my people will be responsible for positioning and searching, and Eden World will be responsible for sending fleets to carry out rescue and civilization recovery. I have also arranged a special group of people to be responsible for the resettlement and training of the remaining civilizations.
This model has been put into operation under the maintenance of the World Tree Foundation. I believe that through the operation of the system, we will quickly absorb manpower and enter a virtuous cycle.
The future is promising.”
“It’s really exhilarating.”
Big Blue also expressed his joy in a restrained manner. He said:
“Although whether we can pass the doomsday trial is still an unknown number that cannot be calculated, we did not sit and wait for death, but united to save ourselves. This behavior itself is the best interpretation of hope.
As you said, your arrival is a dove that represents hope.
It seems that the expansion of Eden World's exploration fleet is imperative , and we must build more starships to keep up with your pace."
"Well, if you need any resources, just apply to the resource management department. There are many worlds standing behind you, and they are all ready to provide you with all the help."
Old Jiang looked up and glanced at the data intercommunication progress bar next to Big Blue, and said:
"The Eden Intelligences don't have to worry about having no work to do in the future. They will be given a greater mission. Perhaps in the future among the stars, you will be called the messengers of 'hope'.
Well, Master Uncle is about to awaken in another form."
As soon as he finished speaking, the optical projection of the big blue guy in front of him began to blur in a snow-like manner, similar to electromagnetic interference. Its shape also seemed to have seriously degraded image quality. For a moment, it almost became a pixelated pattern.
"He carries a strong data virus sequence!"
The tone of the center became serious, and it said to Lao Jiang:
"The data consciousness body codenamed 'Mo Changqing' has been highly integrated with the evil nature of the Lord of the Wasteland. After the consciousness is encoded, it also carries the terrifying symbol of the Lord of the Wasteland.
Such a piece of data consciousness cannot be encoded or disguised at all.
He has become a monster in the essence of his life form. Once released into the war network of the Alpha world, he will immediately attract the attention of patrollers and data-type mechanical leaders.
The degree of 'anti-virus' will certainly be enforced.
With the strength of his data consciousness, it would be difficult for him to escape the pursuit of mechanical life in the war network, and it might even trigger a "major infection" event in the Alpha world.
Lower-level mechanical life has no resistance to data viruses of his strength at all."
"So, Master Uncle cannot be put into the Alpha World?"
Lao Jiang felt a little regretful.
He said:
"Ah, do we really have to ask the old master to come here?"
"No, I can!"
During the conversation between Old Jiang and Big Blue, Mo Changqing's voice, which had transformed into a metallic synthesis, suddenly sounded. Under the stunned gaze of Boss Jiang and the Central Command, a red optical projection was assembled bit by bit.
It's like a clumsy building with blocks.
Master's uncle Mo Changqing, who was transformed into a data consciousness body for the first time, quickly adapted to the application of this data-level consciousness with an astonishing learning speed.
It took him ten seconds to build a projection for himself using pixel blocks.
To be honest, the master uncle made of pixel blocks has a kind of "cute" feeling, just like a Lego doll, the whole image is flat and modular.
While he was quickly modifying this unseemly image, causing the pixel blocks to collapse into smaller pixels to complete the holographic simulation of himself, he said to Lao Jiang and Lan Da Ge:
"This is truly an unheard of magical experience. I never thought that the soul could exist in this form. Jiang Xia, you have really found incredible knowledge.
After undergoing the soul coding rewrite, I...
I have found the final trick to improve the Mo Wu technique. Our Mohist puppet technique will utilize this knowledge of artifacts from outside the domain to truly reach the state of great perfection.
Uh, let’s not talk about that for now.”
Master Uncle imitated the optical projection form of the blue giant and quickly reshaped his own appearance into a perfect form, but he did not use his demonized image.
Through the combination of countless pixels, he projected his heroic, free and unrestrained human form, and also gave himself a long flowing black robe.
He moved his hands and feet in the projection area again, then raised his head and looked at . He said seriously:
"Through the knowledge I just learned from Brother Zhongshu's database, I roughly understand your plan. There is no need to disguise my data any more. Just let me enter the world where Juzi is in the form of this virus.
Think about it carefully, both of you.
The purpose of our trip is not to let me stay in that world for a long time, but to awaken Juzi, to let Juzi convey the message from his hometown, and to let Jiang Xia complete the meeting with Juzi.
To achieve this, in addition to disguising latent contacts, there is a more effective way, which is to create a chaos in the network of the Alpha World that can alarm the "Mechanical Sage".
As long as he noticed me, the mission of this trip would be accomplished.
Although it was achieved through destructive means, it is necessary to take extraordinary measures in extraordinary times.”
"But Master Uncle, you might get captured for this."
Old Jiang shook his head and said:
"We can't risk losing you to do this."
"Isn't that better?"
Mo Zhangqing laughed, put his hands behind his back, and said to Jiang Xia:
"If a 'virus' of my level is captured, the Mechanical Sage will not just ignore it, right? So whether I can come back or not, you can see the Mechanical Sage.
If it is indeed a giant, then everything will be fine.
If it wasn’t, then you wouldn’t have to continue investing so many resources in Alpha World.”
"You guys are going to be 'death warriors' again..."
Lao Jiang said helplessly:
"Can you please stop being so self-destructive? Why do you have to make something so tragic when you can survive?"
He looked back at the Central and asked:
"Can a recall procedure be set up? Can it be transmitted back to the data station after Master Bozu is done with his great infection?"
"In theory, yes."
A large amount of data flow appeared in the eyes of the center. After high-speed calculation, it proposed a new solution:
"Using Nia's body as a temporary carrier, we completed the delivery and recovery of the virus. When she was about to be captured, Boss Jiang brought Nia back to the Eden World.
As long as you are fast enough, Mo Changqing's consciousness can remain intact."
"Then do it."
Lao Jiang took a puff of his cigarette and made the final decision.
He looked at the Alpha World tracking program whose coordinates were constantly changing on the star map next to him and said:
"Let us see the true face of the Mechanical Sage!"
——
Alpha world, the thirteenth outer ring, where low-level mechanical life is located.
Every day here is boring and tedious. The new mechanical life will spend its short and meaningless life in constant fighting, reorganization and destruction.
But in theory, they can also connect to the war network. Although their poor thinking logic makes them unable to understand the meaning of any data flow in the war network.
The data inspectors in the war network basically don't pay much attention to the data disturbances occurring in the Thirteenth Ring. This is meaningless.
Although for some data civilizations and mechanical civilizations among the stars, the world-destroying disasters brought by the Lord of the Wilderness often appear in the form of uncontrollable data viruses.
However, the civilization level of the Alpha world has allowed them to build multiple major firewalls covering the entire mechanical world, and it is impossible for external mechanical viruses to pass through the firewalls.
Note that this refers to external input.
"Is this really a good idea? Should we really release him? This could lead to irreversible consequences."
Centurion Nia, who sneaked to the Thirteenth Ring, hid in a large garbage dump suspiciously. A terrible program was stored in her mind chip at this time.
That was brought to her by Boss Jiang.
"It's not as scary as you think. The Central has calculated it over and over again. It only infects low-level machinery and will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Doomsday Fortress."
Lao Jiang urged:
"Do you still want to come back? After this, you can come back and stay with me. Do it!"
"good."
Nia gritted her teeth.
A few seconds later, the electronic eyes of a mutilated mechanical life form patrolling nearby suddenly turned into a strange dark red, like a signal.
In just a moment, all the low-level machines in the entire area raised their heads.
Looking from the sky, there was a creepy patch of densely packed red dots of light...
A sudden viral infection has begun.
