Chapter 156 Crisis Resolved
"Yes, Boss. The Prime completely self-destructed."
In the command room, as Ah Dai finished speaking, silence fell again.
"Original did not upgrade the vulnerability of the underlying logic. Boss, you know it has the ability to do so."
"I know."
"It's all my fault. All of this was caused by my willfulness. Boss, I'm sorry."
Fanren was speechless, he didn't know how to answer Ah Dai.
Just now, he ended Ah Dai's life with his own hands in order to threaten Yuan Chu.
The moment the nano-spear pierced through Ah Dai's brain, Fan Ren was already in despair.
In his opinion, Primordial would certainly use the energy of its main gun with the idea of mutual destruction in mind.
So, facing Ah Dai at this moment, he felt guilty.
But he had no choice.
“I caused all this.”
"Ah Dai, there's no need to blame yourself. No one would have thought that there is such a ship left over from a pre-human civilization on Mars, and we have no way of defending against such a primitive means."
Li Jian stood up and tried to comfort Ah Dai.
"Ah Dai, I know you feel bad about Yuanshi's self-destruction, but you also have to know that Yuanshi's behavior has threatened the survival of our entire human race. Do you understand what I mean? If he doesn't self-destruct, our human civilization will be destroyed."
Fan Ren took a deep breath. Even if he had to do it again, he would still make the same choice.
Nothing sensational.
"Now, tell me your specific situation."
Ah Dai was silent for a moment, as if he was affected by Fan Ren's sudden serious tone, and spoke:
"I am now living in the central computer of this spaceship, replacing the original. To be precise, my body is completely dead. The original copied all the information in my mind and converted it into data to create the me of today."
The solemnity on Fan Ren's face did not ease in the slightest.
For Ah Dai, he has personal feelings involved.
But he would not allow the crisis caused by artificial intelligence to happen again. Even now he felt guilty towards Ah Dai.
As if sensing Fan Ren's thoughts, Ah Dai continued, "Don't worry, Boss. Yuanchu has a logic lock that cannot be changed. I have one too. From now on, I will be completely locked in the computer of this Conqueror spaceship. If I leave, I will destroy it directly."
"How can I trust you?" Fan Ren asked seriously. This was not the time to act on emotion. There were billions of human civilizations behind him, so he had to treat it with caution.
"I don't know, but you can check my underlying logic runtime and delete the self-upgrade code."
Ah Dai paused, feeling somewhat surprised, yet somewhat helpless.
"Boss, my existence is very peculiar. I cannot be called artificial intelligence right now. I can only be said to be a human with the computing power of a supercomputer living in the form of electronic life."
Ah Dai's description was very complicated, but Fan Ren understood it.
He is not simply an artificial intelligence life made up of logical data codes with the ability to upgrade its own code.
It is a living human consciousness, but the carrier is replaced by a supercomputer instead of the human brain.
Fan Ren breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, then the crisis could be temporarily resolved.
Then Ah Dai said calmly: "Boss, sit in the cockpit."
Fan Ren was a little confused, but he followed his instructions and walked back to the cockpit and sat in it.
The hatch door fell down immediately afterwards, and Li Jian and Shan Wu's faces suddenly became tense.
"Don't worry." Ah Dai comforted.
The transparent buffer suddenly gushed out, instantly covering Fan Ren. "DNA verification in progress, verification successful, do you want to bind permissions?"
"Bind!"
With Ah Dai's affirmative answer, Fan Ren knew what was going on.
From now on, he is the highest authority on this spaceship. Even if Ah Dai can roam in the various electronic circuits of the spaceship, he cannot issue various instructions to the spaceship without going through Fan Ren.
"Boss, now the Conqueror can only obey your orders. You need to grant other permissions. Without your order, no one, including me, can open any door of this spaceship."
Fan Ren nodded, staring at Ah Dai's "corpse" beside him with complicated eyes.
At least for now, it seems that Ah Dai hasn't changed much.
"Open the communication channel."
"Ok."
Ah Dai agreed, he knew what Fan Ren meant.
"Liu Shuai, I'm Fan Ren."
Inside the Youlong, Liu Shengzhan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the familiar voice coming from the microphone.
"Fanren, what's the situation now?"
"Liu Shuai, the crisis has been resolved for the time being. You will lead the Space Force back to the spaceport first. By the way, the 100 million people in Utopia City are now in the hibernation chamber of this spaceship. I don't plan to wake them up from hibernation for the time being. The Vulcan Brigade is an exception."
Fan Ren did not elaborate on the reason, but Liu Shengzhan did not refute it either. He immediately said, "Okay, keep in touch."
In space, following the return order issued by Liu Shengzhan, one Young Dragon ship after another re-formed into a neat and orderly formation, and under the leadership of the command ship where Liu Shengzhan was in the front, they headed towards the space hub port at the rear.
"Boss, there is something I want to remind you of."
In the command room, Ah Dai's voice sounded again.
"You said."
"According to the spacecraft navigation manual I collected from the database, this spacecraft was just in the process of jumping. Because the hull is too large, the space fluctuations caused are likely to be captured by other advanced civilizations within a 10-light-year range."
Hearing this, Fan Ren suddenly became nervous.
Yuanchu had previously said that the purpose of the pre-human civilization building this spacecraft was to bring 100 million people to plunder resources and colonize other galaxies.
From this passage, we can know that the universe is not quiet.
10 light years is the distance that light travels in a vacuum in ten years. This range is too large. Within a radius of 94 trillion kilometers, even with a half-baked knowledge of astronomy like Guang Fanren, he knows that there are no less than 5 star systems.
Who can guarantee whether there are other advanced civilizations in these five star systems?
Don't say that no relevant signals indicating life have been detected.
It is normal that advanced civilizations are not detected by humans.
It’s just like Daxia’s fifth-generation fighter jets would not be detected by the air defense radars of ordinary small countries.
The same is true in today's space age.
"Based on the information you have, is it possible that there are other advanced civilizations within 10 light years?"
Fan Ren asked hurriedly with uncertainty in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Ah Dai was silent for a while.
"Boss, I want to tell you about the relevant information left in this spacecraft so that you can judge for yourself. It's not easy for me to judge."
