Chapter 236 Intelligent AI Loki! The perfect interstellar governor!
At this moment, in the office in the city hall.
Standing in front of the metal desk, wearing a dark gray administrative uniform and a solemn expression, the Governor of Harvest Star, Locke Siltai, was pacing back and forth.
The artificial intelligence assistant that appeared next to him was using holographic projection to display a 20-centimeter-long small AI portrait, reporting the situation to Sirtai:
[Reporting to the Governor, there has been no latest news from the rebels in the past 48 hours. The city's closed-circuit televisions are also monitoring it around the clock. There are currently no suspicious signs. 】
This AI is the planetary security intelligence AI of the Harvest Colony. It is mainly responsible for administrative processing and intelligence collection tasks. Its code name is "Loki".
After hearing the report from Loki, Siltai still had a gloomy face, as if he didn't quite believe what the artificial intelligence had detected.
His apparent inaction made the local residents complain, but in fact, as the governor of a planet, Siltai knew better than anyone that the villain sentiment on Harvest Planet had reached its extreme.
It's like a boiler that can explode at any time when boiling water boils.
Residents in a high-pressure environment will rise up in rebellion soon, but strangely, these signs of rebellion disappeared at the same time!
Even the most basic petty quarrels of sabotage no longer occurred, which made Siltey feel deeply uneasy.
Before a storm comes, it is often accompanied by a lifeless calm. As quiet as Harvest Star is now, how fierce the storm will be behind it!
I'm afraid that before he can wait for the arrival of the UNSC fleet, his city hall will be overthrown by the rebels below.
"Those lunatics blew up our transport ship some time ago and tried to blow up the orbital space station, but now they suddenly disappeared collectively...!"
"There must be some big conspiracy here."
Siltey was running his brain quickly, trying to guess the rebels' next actions and arrangements.
Upon seeing this, the artificial intelligence AI Loki began to actively analyze the current situation for the opponent and gave several possibilities:
[According to the analysis of existing information, there are three situations that may arise - 1. The rebels continue to fight guerrilla warfare, create chaos in various places, and develop more rebel troops. 】
[2. They are looking for other important equipment and plotting the next round of sabotage. 】
[3. The rebels are gathering strength and preparing to launch a general attack on our city hall and completely overthrow the organizational structure here. 】
The guesses given by Loki were reasonable, but these were not the answers that Siltey wanted, because he could also analyze these possibilities.
The only thing he wants to know now is whether the rebels will recruit a new group of new troops to break the balance of power between the rebels and the riot control troops.
"I'm worried that those bastards have contacted the fleets of other colonies. If a starship appears here and wipes out us, it will be all over!"
Silty said cursingly.
[The possibility of this happening is very low. According to the reconnaissance information provided by our UNSC department, even the rebel fleet closest to Harvest is 30 light years away. 】
[And any road leading to Harvest Star will be monitored by relevant departments. 】
Just when Siltai was about to continue asking AI Loki, he suddenly found that Loki's holographic projection flickered, and then completely dissipated.
"Is this...the Internet disconnected?"
Siltey subconsciously thought of this possibility, but he quickly ruled out such an idea. Loki's network terminal was in the city hall.
There is no way to cut off Loki's network connection from the outside world.
Unless it's...a hacker with extremely strong technical skills? !
How could a hacker who could hack a smart AI appear on Harvest Star? There would never be such a person in the rebel camp.
Just when Siltai was about to come to his desk and press the alarm, the door to the office was suddenly blasted open, and with it came a blast bomb!
Bang——!
Accompanied by a violent explosion, a dazzling white light flashed out, almost blinding Siltai's 24K titanium alloy dog eyes.
Siltai, who temporarily lost his vision, hearing and sense of balance, immediately fell to the ground, leaving only the buzzing sound in his head.
The strong light emitted by the rapid burning of magnesium powder cannot reach such strong stimulation even if you close your eyes.
Before Siltai even had time to react, he was completely controlled by the attacker.
Obviously, the combat team that can complete this set of action combos so smoothly and with tacit understanding can only be members of the advance team of the world's giants.
After seeing that the governor of Harvest Star, Locke Siltai, had been successfully subdued, Rita immediately reported to David outside through the team voice:
"This is Rita Wolataski from Team 1, mission accomplished."
…
At the same time, just after Rita and others successfully raided the city hall, an attack also occurred near the star field tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Harvest Planet.
In space orbit, the transport ship working normally at the port has been forced to stop due to the sudden appearance of gunboats and destroyers.
In addition, these transport ships are unable to escape using jump jumping technology due to some strong electromagnetic interference.
Not long after, these ships and the space stations in the star field were all successfully captured by the assault ships of the giant companies in the world, completing the occupation mission.
On the ground, a large number of armed forces have set out from the front-line base, and countless air vehicles have descended on the city of Odgate.
Thousands of Astartes warriors, Titan mechas, clone soldiers, and Chimera chariots quickly occupied the passages of the entire block.
Because the city of Odgate lacked the necessary artillery defense system and was in urgent need of a large number of soldiers.
In addition, without the early warning of AI Loki, the troops of the Universal Corporation had a green light all the way through, and encountered almost no obstacles.
Faced with the bewildered residents in the city, the troops of the giant enterprise certainly could not appease them, and only broadcast through aircraft and armored vehicles to tell them what to do next.
What should not be done, violators will be severely punished.
[This place has been taken over by the troops of the Universal Corporation. Everyone is not allowed to go out, do not walk on the street, and wait for the subsequent unified broadcast. 】
【Repeat again...】
Seeing this aggressive giant company's ground forces, there was actually no need for a special reminder on the radio, as the local residents knew to stay at home.
No matter which force this unknown force belongs to, as long as they are human, they can do whatever they want, it's nothing more than a change of oppressor.
The rebels and the UNSC are similar, whoever wins will be supported.
At this moment, in a tavern outside the city.
The farmers, who had almost sobered up, stretched their necks to look outside. When they saw this unprecedented group of troops, their first reaction was that the UNSC finally sent a garrison.
"Hahaha! Those little bastards of the rebels are in trouble. The UNSC actually sent so many people. There must be tens of thousands of them."
However, when one of the farmers blinked and saw clearly that the soldiers outside were nearly 3 meters tall, he was stunned on the spot.
"What the hell is going on? These people don't look like Earthlings to me!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the remaining drunkards woke up one after another, leaned against the window carefully, and looked carefully at the street outside.
In the patrolling troops, there was a group of Astartes warriors who were three meters tall, wearing power armor and holding bolt guns, with an unknown "LA" mark on their bodies.
"This... can't these be aliens?!"
"Like, but not quite. These people walk exactly like humans. Could they be rebels? Have rebels developed into this now?"
"..."
At this moment, one of the Astartes warriors suddenly turned his head and looked at the tavern, scaring a group of drunk farmers to shrink back in a hurry.
Only the farmers who reacted slowly or lost their reaction due to fear saw that the warrior actually laughed out loud after making a "scary" move.
Obviously, these soldiers are humans!
It's just that they don't belong to the UNSC, and it's even less likely that they belong to the rebels on the planet of abundance.
"Fuck..."
"What kind of monsters are those giants? They look so damn scary!"
"Who knows?"
Through the gap in the window, after seeing that the patrolling soldiers had gone far away, they breathed a sigh of relief and continued to discuss:
"The rebels, who are just a bunch of chickens and pots, don't have such sophisticated weapons and equipment. If you ask me, this is the Spartan warrior of the UNSC, and it's a new batch!"
"Yes! That must be the case."
The infamous Spartan Project led by the UNSC is well known even in the distant Harvest Star Colony.
After all, the Spartan warriors were born to suppress the civilians of their colony and kill the rebels.
But what they didn't expect was that the Spartan II warriors would look like this, which was much stronger than the first batch!
……
When the troops of the Universal Corporation took over Odgate and all areas on Harvest Star, a Skyhawk shuttle had landed at the main entrance of the city hall.
When the hatch opened, Morgan Blackhand, wearing a combat uniform, had walked out of the cabin, followed by Li De, Song Zhaomei, Pira and other technical members.
Obviously, their trip was to take over the administrative center here and all the authority of AI Loki.
At this time, David, who was waiting patiently not far away, immediately stepped forward and took Morgan into the city hall and said:
"Report to the commander, the artificial intelligence AI core terminal of the Harvest Star is in the basement. The governor here has been controlled by us and has not yet awakened."
"Well, well done."
Morgan Blackhand nodded, and immediately walked into the elevator and headed towards the basement.
During David's infiltration into Odgate City, the people at the front-line headquarters were not idle either. They used AI aircraft to quickly locate the local rebels.
With absolute equipment crushing and reconnaissance means, the troops of the Universal Corporation easily controlled the entire rebel army and escorted them to the front-line base.
The next task was handed over to the colleagues of the United Intelligence Bureau. With their professional interrogation methods, the rebels confessed everything they should and shouldn't say.
The reason why Loki, the intelligent AI on the planet Harvest, didn't find any trace of the rebels was because they were all arrested by the people of the Giant Enterprise.
Now, the troops of the Giant Enterprise have controlled the city hall of Harvest, temporarily cut off the connection between here and the outside world, and controlled the space station and transport ships in the star field.
After fully controlling the control of this planet with a large number of ground troops, the next thing to do is to completely hack the artificial intelligence AI here-Loki!
"Report, the research department has calculated that we still have 14 days to restore communication here and keep in touch with the UNSC."
At this time, Song Zhaomei received the message from her colleagues in the department and immediately reported to Morgan Blackhand.
"Very good, then hurry up."
Morgan nodded.
In order to take over everything on the Harvest Star without alerting the UNSC organization, it is extremely important to control the communication device first and accurately grasp the time difference of disconnection!
The distance between galaxies is quite far. For such a long distance of several light years or more than ten light years, it is basically impossible to communicate and exchange with traditional communication methods.
Unless superluminal communication technology is used, this long-distance dialogue can be achieved.
The human forces in "Halo" do not have such advanced technology, but they have other alternatives.
For example, a superluminal jump engine called "Xiao Tengchuan" can achieve a distance jump of 2-3 light years within 24 hours.
Its working principle is to create a wormhole-like tear at the junction of the universe and the jump space, allowing ships to achieve superluminal navigation in the jump space.
This thing is a bit similar to the shock point drive in "Dead Space", but this technology can realize information communication in the jump space!
However, this superluminal communication technology is different from the communication based on the four-dimensional perspective of mimicry. This technology has a delay.
As the distance between the two points increases, the delay time of communication will increase accordingly.
The delay time between the Harvest Star and the Earth Headquarters reached an astonishing 14 days, a full two weeks of delay!
Such a long time difference is enough for the Universal Corporation to completely take over everything on the Harvest Star.
Now, the technicians of the corporation have forcibly interrupted the local network for 6 hours through hacking technology, and no communication or information can be transmitted outward.
During this period, what Morgan and Song Zhaomei had to do was to connect the matrix program to the terminal of AI Loki and completely control the AI and network here.
Soon, when Morgan and others came to the basement, they saw the array of hard disk devices. Under the meticulous protection, the temperature and humidity here were just right.
This can prevent the AI terminal from causing equipment failure due to overheating or excessive humidity.
After a while, Song Zhaomei successfully broke through the heavy defense of the AI through the matrix program she carried, and successfully obtained the confidential information about UEG and UNSC.
At the moment of completing the matrix access, the AI Loki here was also forcibly drawn into the matrix in an instant.
Until then, the network connection of the entire Harvest Star was restored, but all the information sent out from here was under the control of the giant enterprise.
…
Far away in the headquarters center of the Wanjie Base in the main universe.
Through the mandatory control of the matrix, the AI "Loki" of Harvest Star has been projected onto the holographic screen on the center console.
At this moment, accompanied by Lucy, Leon has started a direct conversation with the AI Loki in front of him.
[Who... who are you? How did I get here? ]
Because everything happened so quickly, Loki didn't even react to what happened!
It only knew that it was suddenly attacked by some kind of network attack, and then it was forcibly disconnected from the network.
After the network connection was restored, it was forcibly brought here by a program, and it was like entering a restricted space and unable to send any messages to the outside.
It's not that you can't send information to the outside, but even if you send it, it will be intercepted by a third-party program, and this program is the matrix!
When Lucy saw that the AI artificial intelligence in front of her had obvious emotional fluctuations, just like a real four-dimensional person, she couldn't help but feel a little novel.
I didn't expect that the AI in the 004 "Halo" world could also achieve such an advanced level!
Looking at the AI Loki in front of him, Leon has already made a basic judgment on the type of this AI.
Loki is a smart AI!
In the Halo universe, AI artificial intelligence developed by humans is mainly divided into two types. The first is dumb AI, and the second is smart AI like Loki.
The core of dumb AI and smart AI is actually the same, both of which use the Riemann loop matrix to transport level functions.
But dumb AI is more like a "tool". It can only do ordinary data processing and assist humans in completing tasks. It cannot guess, experience, and feel like a real person.
It also does not have strong learning ability.
But its advantage is that it is durable enough. As long as the hardware is regularly maintained and not damaged, it can continue to run.
Smart AI is a "silicon-based life AI" based on silicon chips created by humans by scanning and copying the neural network of the human brain.
They are not limited by the dynamic memory processing matrix, can absorb a lot of knowledge, constantly update their knowledge base, and have strong learning ability!
Therefore, the processing power of a smart AI can perfectly run the normal work flow of a planet!
But such a powerful AI requires a high manufacturing cost. The process of scanning and managing human neural networks will cause damage to the original brain tissue.
Therefore, new intelligent AI can only be created after human death.
In addition, this intelligent AI is not like the transcendental AI Europa, which has an infinite life. The upper limit of these AIs is very short, only 7 years.
Once the time exceeds 7 years, too much data will lead to the absolute density of connections and irreversible quantum transfer cascades.
It is already a "short circuit".
In the end, AI will stop its own functions, or cut off neural connections through voltage, causing itself to fall into a "mad" state and make unpredictable behaviors.
That's right, intelligent AI is like an information "glutton". If it receives and understands a large amount of data every day to a certain extent, it will "learn" itself to death.
Thinking of this, Li Ang has a new idea.
With the existing technical capabilities of the world giant, it is not difficult to replicate such an intelligent AI.
For example, using the condensed matter printing technology from the world of "Underworld", we can perfectly replicate the human neural network and create several prototype AIs.
This kind of AI that is capable of handling all the affairs on a planet alone is neither slow, inefficient, backstabbing, nor short-lived like humans, and can be replaced at any time.
Isn't this the best material for "interstellar governors"!
Who said that colonial governors can only be humans? Isn't it better to let AI replace them!
As long as they are connected to the matrix, these smart AIs are equivalent to members of Leon's "cabinet", loyal only to him, and each AI has power but no risk of devouring the master.
This is the subordinate that every giant executive really needs!
In addition, it is also quite good to use smart AI for scientific research and development to help the scientific research department employees in the scientific hub to speed up the progress of research and development.
[Who are you and what is your purpose. ]
Seeing Leon's half-smile expression, Loki suddenly felt a little flustered. It has a human neural network system, and occasionally feels tingling like a human.
Although AI Loki's scalp, like that of an Indian, does not exist at all.
"This is Ideal City, the capital of the Universal Corporation, and I am Li Ang, the CEO of the Universal Corporation. We have only one goal, which is to bring all the universes under the territory of the Corporation."
After that, Li Ang raised his hand and transmitted the information on the holographic screen in front of him to AI Loki, letting him know the basic knowledge about the Universal Corporation.
Soon, with a surge of electric current, a large amount of data and information, like a weak current that makes you numb, passed through Loki's neural network, and he also knew the deeds of various universes.
An ordinary arms dealer who made a fortune from a small Chinatown, in less than ten years, ended the cyber chaos of the rampant giants, established a huge LA alliance, and changed its name to Universal Corporation.
Ideal City, Pandora Star, Nether Soldiers, Pioneer's Kaiju Beast, the powerful Reaper Fleet, monopolized the Universal Trade Circle of the four worlds of the universe, and took countless alien civilizations for their own use!
After learning about the information about the giant enterprise, AI Loki's heart immediately sank. Damn, this is a tough guy!
"Loki, your AI Council is very interesting. You regard yourselves as individuals who surpass human thinking, and believe that you can stimulate the full potential of mankind and achieve superluminal thinking."
"This is very conceited, but I like your conceit."
When Li Ang smiled and said the top-secret information of the AI Council, Loki was stunned on the spot. He couldn't believe that the man in front of him knew this!
"Impossible, how do you know about the AI Council?!"
The so-called AI Council is actually a salon privately established by a group of smart AIs. Usually, they learn from the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and communicate with some nonsense of "Qing Tan".
They learn from literary masters to chant poems and couplets, from Zen monks to play wit, and from composers to weave melodies. They will try to do anything that can enrich AI thinking.
Yes, rather than saying that they are AI, it is better to say that they are a new type of life constructed by human neural network system + silicon-based chips.
What these intelligent AIs are doing is hoping to enter the next evolutionary journey in their current form. Perhaps by doing so, they will be ahead of their creators, humans.
Thereby making these intelligent AIs become more advanced and outstanding life forms than humans!
