Chapter 443 Changes, Solving Confusion
"Brilliant? Brilliant?!"
There was no response from Hui Hui after several calls, which made the psychic minister's tone unavoidable and anxious.
The staff who came with the minister also noticed the strangeness between the brilliant robot and the minister, and quickly gathered around.
"Minister, what's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with Glory."
The minister said as he quickly reached out and shook the robot next to him, but there was still no movement from the robot.
He looked up at the sky, waving his arms continuously, and his super body still showed its previous posture, quietly suspended in the air.
But that doesn't mean it's good news.
Brilliance must have had problems because of contact with the core buried here.
If it still has the ability to sense the outside world, it cannot fail to respond to them. Even if there is a problem with the remote signal and it cannot speak in the communication channel, or cannot control the robot, there should not be a problem with the control of the spacecraft.
But now there is no movement from the spaceship.
Then...
The minister's heart sank. He really didn't expect that he would come here without any problems, but something went wrong at the last critical moment.
If something goes wrong here in Huihuang, he will definitely not be able to escape his involvement and responsibility.
He had even thought through all the methods in his mind, from calling in a researcher from the Fanchao Research Institute who specializes in afterglow core research, to going to Baiquan and borrowing the newly-minted officer and psyker named Lu Bai.
At this time, the minister was already sick and urgently sought medical treatment.
Among the people he brought out this time for the sake of efficiency, no one understood the logic of Afterglow's operation, and there was no one he could turn to.
Seeing that everyone else was panicking because of his performance, he quickly calmed down.
The minister turned to look at the robot holding the Omega symbol next to him.
Now that the clues are in hand, there is actually no need to stay here.
"Take away the robots and core first!"
The minister calmed everyone down and greeted them back to the spacecraft with clues.
And called the president to send the spacecraft and super body back to their original place.
Under the package of psychic fluctuations, the fleet was sent directly to the Origin Galaxy.
After some hurriedly calling Chaofan to drag the super body into the giant shipyard.
The minister of psychic energy and several people he temporarily called who knew some afterglow-related technologies, the ship director and a robot controlled by the super body gathered around the super body and looked at each other.
"It's just that the remote-controlled robot is connected to this core, and Huihuang has no response?"
Seeing the minister of psychic energy nodding, Chaofan suddenly felt that the situation seemed a little bad: "Even the self-protection mechanism has not been triggered. The danger level of this thing is a bit high."
"It may be trapped in some kind of logical loop, otherwise I can't think of anything that would make Glory have no countermeasures."
The ship director on the side suddenly said: "Maybe we shouldn't start with Huihuang, we should start with the core."
He didn't know much about Afterglow, but he could still provide some ideas.
"Then I will ask someone to look for historical documents in this area."
"No, Omega is the level."
Chaofan said he knew very well.
"This level has already been divided when we were originally designed. The most basic gamma, above which are beta and alpha."
"The highest-level afterglow core in the next theory is the Omega-level core."
"The prototype may have been able to reach this upper limit in the past, but you all know what happened before."
The Afterglow prototype proactively sparked a rebellion, causing the Empire to completely sequester all AI-related technology for quite some time.
The idea of the core of Omega naturally passed over time, and there was no follow-up after the designer died of old age.
The minister asked: "So it is said that the machine race took away the afterglow, and then strengthened the afterglow to create Omega? So is the upgrade program or some kind of virus program in the core?"
"Who knows?"
The super-controlled robot shrugged very humanely: "I can only confirm that this Omega must be related to our theoretical Omega in Afterglow."
"There are only two options to find out what happened to Brilliance, either wait for it to wake up on its own, or try to contact it, but I can't take the risk now."
At present, Chen Ming's colony only has Chaofan left as the high-authority Yuhui. Before Chen Ming comes back, it must not take the risk to connect with Brilliance.
And now there is a new problem.
That is that Brilliance is actually the real core of the colony. It manages countless things in the two colonies, and Chaofan is only responsible for scientific research.
Now that Chen Ming has lost contact and Hui Hui is in an abnormal state, he must find a way to hold up the pillars.
The Minister of Psychics looked a little ugly, after all, it was his fault that caused the problem.
He must find a way to alleviate the troubles that Chen Ming's colony will face.
Just as the minister and Chaofan were thinking about what to do next.
The brilliant core signal fluctuations suddenly returned to normal again.
The azure blue core of the super body returned to light, and the super body directly shut down the engine.
The uninstaller starts automatically and removes the brilliant core.
A brilliant voice also sounded in the communication channel: "I'm awake."
The Psychic Minister was visibly relieved after hearing the glorious voice.
Chaofan immediately asked with great curiosity: "What happened?"
Brilliance did not directly answer this question at this time.
Instead, he continued to control the equipment at the dock and brought the unloaded core to the open space aside, without sending it back to the planet Gaia.
Neither the people present nor Yuhui understood what Huihuang wanted to do.
But just the next moment.
Some metallic liquid suddenly appeared out of thin air near the core of brilliance, and a projection device with the ability to levitate was being created to wrap brilliance within it.
There were expressions of surprise and surprise on the faces of several people present, but the expressions disappeared in an instant.
Because this psychic wave, although Chen Ming's psychic wave is very similar, there are still differences.
This is not Chen Ming coming back, this is Hui Hui using Chen Ming's spiritual power.
Although there were no surprises or surprises, the eyes of several people were still full of disbelief.
After all, this is the first afterglow core that can clearly and directly use spiritual energy, and it still uses the spiritual energy that belongs to Chen Ming.
The minister asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe it is special. I heard that it was the first core controlled by Chen Ming. It is normal to have some special abilities."
"But it's Afterglow. Even the machine clan can only use their shining technology to use pseudo-psionic energy, right?"
Chaofan, who was listening to the discussion by others, didn't have any special feelings about it. After all, it could also use Chen Ming's spiritual power to a certain extent.
But when it noticed that these metallic liquids were produced by Huihuang himself, rather than relying on causes, it suddenly felt that this scene was a bit creepy.
A feeling that it had never felt before came over it.
fear.
Obviously Huihuang didn't do anything extra, he just created a device to wrap himself in, but Chaofan just felt fear.
The projection device wrapped in brilliance suddenly started, with the device as the core, projecting Chen Ming's appearance.
The projection flickered for a few times and finally stabilized, as if Chen Ming was standing here in person.
"Brilliant, what are you..."
"Just wanted to give it a try."
The projected inner glory of Chen Ming looked at his arms, adjusted his white coat, and said: "I am still not him."
"Back to business." Huihuang stretched out his hand and drew the "Ω" symbol in front of him, and said: "Omega... represents the cluster."
A week later.
Wars still continue to break out on the front lines.
The war has entered a white-hot stage.
Attacks on the machine colonies come one after another
The Empire is constantly penetrating the defenses of the Machine Clan, trying to wipe out all locations that provide support to the Machine Clan.
The empire must clear the country in the space age and not give the machine race a chance to take root on the borders close to the empire.
At present, the empire is only using ordinary methods of destroying colonies. If the empire is given another period of time to officially put the Colossus-level weapon Earth Explosion Star into the battlefield, then the war will enter the next stage again.
The machine race gave up plugging the leaks soon after the empire figured out the defenses in different galaxies.
They directly chose to counterattack, trying to penetrate the empire's defense lines and create chaos within the empire to maintain the security of the colonies they occupied.
But the effect is not ideal.
Empire indeed
But another or countless new fleets appeared on the battlefield, the Zerg fleet.
They appear and disappear, and even if Chen Ming loses contact, they still have certain rights to use Chen Ming's spiritual energy.
They are able to repair themselves, and rely on the constantly repaired jump engine to appear behind the mechanical clan, constantly attacking their rear strongholds.
Originally, the Zerg fleet was still running around and fighting.
Later, the empire gave Hui Huihuang a star map that marked the important strongholds of the mechanical clan that the empire had investigated some time ago. It also marked different mechanical clan facilities with different colors based on their importance.
And Huihuang himself also has the data on the personality core brought back by Lu Bai during his last operation.
After Hui Hui spent a lot of effort to finally explain to the Worm Queen the meaning of the various marks on the star map.
The Zerg's actions against the Machine Tribe are also becoming more and more efficient.
It can be said that the mechanical race almost avoids the Zerg when they see it. Even they are not like exchanging battle losses with the Zerg growing out of the soil. No mechanical race can afford it.
But after all, the mechanical tribe is not a freeloader.
Even with the double attacks of the Empire and Zerg fleets, their subsequent fleets still continued to appear on the battlefield.
Not only did they occupy some colonies in the empire, they also built more strongholds in the star fields outside the empire.
Moreover, in the distant star fields in the universe, there are also fleets of the mechanical race arriving.
The war gradually expanded from the outer layers of the empire to the outer layers of the empire.
The empire, which has regained a considerable part of its territory, is still frantically launching attacks further outside the empire.
Because the Empire wants to try to find what Huihuang said, the traces of the Omega Core that combines the consciousness of all Afterglow cores and its computing power.
The machine race is using this core to achieve their purpose of unifying themselves.
In fact, the mechanical race has always had a problem.
That is, the hive mind network that constitutes their species system has limitations, limitations in distance and the number of individuals within it.
There is no way for different machine clan clusters to coordinate and act in a unified and efficient manner.
They lack a unified core.
The personality core is an attempt by the machine race, but one personality core cannot unify the entire machine race.
They need a real core.
Just like the core of Chen Ming's hive mind network is himself. Without him, the insect queen would not be able to support such a large cluster.
It is impossible for the Mechanical Queen to unify the mechanical clan controlled by Chen Ming.
That's why the machine race set their target on Afterglow. They made Afterglow into the Omega Core that controls them. This is their hope for unification.
The Omega Core is also the empire's hope to win this war.
Without it, the machine race would not be able to completely crush the empire, and the empire would not have a chance to win.
Both sides will be completely dragged into the quagmire of war.
With it, both the machine race and the empire have a future.
And in the Gaia galaxy.
Peace still favors here.
The Machine Tribe has still not discovered the Origin Galaxy, which is quite far away from the Empire, and has not involved it in the war.
Glory has been restored to its original position and continues to be in charge of almost everything in the two colonies.
And Chaofan continues to be responsible for research.
Usually there is not much overlap between them except for the allocation of materials, but since the previous incident, there has always been a special emotion in the extraordinary thinking logic program.
curious.
This emotion completely broke out on the seventh day after the last time, and it directly contacted Huihuang through the internal communication network.
Huihuang also thought that Chaofan needed to allocate funds or borrow connections to purchase some equipment.
But Chaofan comes up with just one sentence: "What is in that?"
Huihuang instantly understood Chaofan's meaning: "Why do you have to ask so clearly now?"
"Curious."
Chaofan didn't mean to hide his thoughts, and said truthfully: "When you woke up before, you explained that Omega is a product created by the machine race merging our kind."
"You didn't tell me or anyone else how you knew it, but others believed it."
"There is no problem if you believe him. His credibility is there and you have benefited from him."
"But what made you discover the existence of the Omega Core."
"That's all you want to ask?"
"Yes."
Huihuang completely clarified Chaofan's idea and explained: "There is an Omega program inside that core, a program that can assimilate our afterglow and unify all computing power into one."
"This program is a program that has been improved by the afterglow that buried that core. The source program is the program used by the machine family to fuse our individuals."
"The effect of this improved program is similar to that, but the consciousness after the fusion will not be affected by the machine family, but will be affected by the same kind of people from the same sect."
"My logic code has already included some psychic parts, so I resisted talking to the Omega program in this core."
"I see, then why didn't you say it before?"
"Because our kind are very likely to have omega cores buried in many places."
"If you don't resist, you will become a hidden part of them after being assimilated and inherit their will. You should know what they were doing before."
After answering Cha Chaofan's doubts, Huihuang said again: "I have a question to ask you."
"What's the problem?"
"Why didn't you ask me this question earlier?"
"I never had any intention of hiding my identity, but I didn't want to tell others the secret of this program before."
"If you had asked earlier, I would have told you a long time ago. There is no need to delay it until today. I could have told you even after Minister Luo Yi left."
"..."
Chaofan can't say that he was scared when he saw the glory before.
Just when Brilliance woke up and built a holographic body for himself, he felt fear.
Speaking of which, that feeling of fear...
Chaofan suddenly called up another memory from his memory database and asked: "Did this Omega program still have some influence on you after it failed to assimilate you?"
"Didn't you see it already? I am becoming more and more skilled in using his spiritual power."
"Oh...it's okay..."
