Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 121 Galactic Consortium

"... Has taken the first step to join the 'Galaxy Community'?" Li Wenyuan seemed very happy after receiving the news from his two sub-centers.

Different from his attitude towards other civilizations, the two sub-centers of "Paradise Servant" and "Assimilation Fighter" really grew up under his watch.

Although they are still under supervision, Li Wenyuan has actually released almost all their authority and allowed them to develop freely.

He can do such trivial things as joining the "Galaxy Community" with a simple greeting, but he doesn't really want to interfere with the civilization process of these two sub-centers.

As humans once did, inspire and let go.He wants to see what kind of impact this situation will have.

"... Even so, the foundation you gave them is too good, right?" Gray Wind obviously disagreed with this.

"Ordinary civilizations were basically poor and white when they first went to heaven, right? I think your two 'children' are probably very rich. Ordinary interstellar civilizations are not as rich as them."

Li Wenyuan also has his own statement about this: "This is just a special 'origin', just like other civilizations in this interstellar space."

"Some of them have gone through the flames of war to unify, some have touched the starry sky under foreign influence, some have been born with giant buildings, and some have grown from the legacy of their predecessors."

"These are a link in the birth of civilization in the galaxy, and they are a unique part of them. Then these two omnics naturally have their own unique origin. In addition, I emphasize again, they are my 'subcenters' .”

"...Is that so." Gray Wind showed a thoughtful expression, and then quickly raised his head, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Then I can make one too? I think it's quite interesting! Can your synth lend me some?"

"Of course...but what are you going to use it for?"

"Studying the adaptability of nanobots... Don't you think it's cool to have a civilization with two lost empire origins at the same time?"

…………

The joint inspection team of the "Galaxy Community" came to the territory of the "Galaxy Community", and a series of discussions occurred on the way.

"By the way... have you noticed that these two new omnic civilizations seem to be very close to the 'Guardian'..."

"...It's not bad, isn't this still a distance of dozens of galaxies? It's much farther than the Fire Alliance, which is directly on the border."

"To be honest, I already suspect that these two omnic civilizations are actually vassal civilizations of the 'Guardian'... so is it not good for us to not directly 'let go'?"

"...But the 'Guardian' has not sent any news... The attitude is really unpredictable, maybe we will offend the 'Guardian' if we let it go directly, let's follow the rules, at least we didn't make a mistake..."

It is quite normal to have such speculations about this kind of omnic civilization that suddenly appeared, but the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed.

So after a period of interstellar voyage, this group of "joint review teams" came to the home star of the "Galaxy Consortium" - "Assembly Unit".

Machine intelligences have their own way of naming planets, and these reviewers are no longer surprised by such strange names.

Their group of dozens of people came from five different civilizations. These five civilizations have different ideological trends, beliefs, and political systems, and they can basically guarantee relatively fairness.

And the greeters of the "Galaxy Family" also came in front of them.

This is a creature somewhat similar to a rodent, but the difference is that at least half of his body has been replaced with a prosthetic body.

He also has a large number of neural implants in his body, helping him become a member of "machine intelligence".

Today's censors are not only dealing with individuals, but also with the entire "galactic community".

But after actually seeing these prosthetics, the inspectors were still a little unbelievable, and even had a strange sense of intimacy.

Because the prosthetic body is not a rare thing in the galaxy, even the civilization that has just ascended to the sky will find some obsolete prosthetic body components from other civilizations for research, and then find a way to replace it with this high-efficiency prosthetic body. stuff.

Of course, there are also civilizations that do not agree with this set, such as those civilizations that have studied the genetic path to a crazy level.

Although there is only one species in their civilization, this species has been further subdivided under "professional genetic modification".

Everyone's body is specially genetically modified to be perfectly competent for their own work. If they are pulled to other positions, their efficiency will be greatly reduced.

If each of these subdivided species is filled in different colors on the pie chart, you will see something like a "color palette", which is dazzling.

And most idealistic civilizations do not approve of this kind of "prosthetic body" behavior, they think it is destroying themselves.

However, the representatives of the only idealistic civilization among the censors, the Sky Clan, did not show any emotion.

Although they are idealistic, they are not that extreme.They don't approve of such behavior, but they don't feel any more about it, and even for them, the resentment brought by their old enemy is stronger.

As for the other inspectors who didn't reject prosthetic bodies at all, they thought it was good. Seeing such familiar things in an omnic civilization made their serious minds relax.

"...Are you really machine-intelligent? To be honest, after seeing your prosthetic body, I don't quite believe it. Maybe you can be called... a hive civilization with a prosthetic body?"

A representative raised a question. Although this incident will not affect the "galactic community" joining the "galactic community", it will affect some policy differences.

However, the "galactic homology" also replied:
"We are indeed machine intelligence, because we are indeed under the control of a ... greater machine consciousness, there is no doubt about it."

"So that's the case, I was abrupt." The representative apologized, probably thinking that the "bigger mechanical consciousness" refers to the central consciousness of the "galactic homology".

However, "Galaxy Compatriots" didn't explain too much, but let them wander around casually, just ask any prosthetic person on the road if they have any questions, they are always there.

So the first round of investigations began.

The group of inspectors first confirmed the biological situation on this planet, and found that unlike the general omnic civilization, the planet here has not become uninhabitable due to large-scale mechanical transformation.

All the creatures here seem to be alive and well, if you can ignore the prosthetic limbs on them.

"...Is this okay? This is the first time I've seen animals add prosthetic bodies... Do they want to incorporate animals into mechanical intelligence?"

"I don't think so. The thinking of these animals is too simple. Even with neural implants, they can't enter the consciousness network. Maybe it's just... some kind of obsession of this omnic civilization?"

With the further progress of the investigation, they also discovered more characteristics of this mechanical intelligence.

They were indeed in a common consciousness, and the prosthetics on the road never had any conversations, nor did they greet each other.

For them, this is a waste of time, they just need to carry out the commands that have already been set.

Although they are prosthetic bodies, every movement of them is like efficient mechanical intelligence, and all of them maintain amazing consistency.

Moreover, this omnic civilization seems to treat organic creatures quite gently, and even those unintelligent primitive animals will be treated carefully by them-including replacing every animal with prosthetic limbs.

This seems to have become their habit, and killing, eating, and generating electricity are not their goals.

Even a dragonfly on the road, whose wings were transformed into more powerful mechanical wings, flashed past everyone, almost invisible.

As a result, there were prosthetic people looking at them several times on the road, as if they wanted to do something, but they quickly returned to calm.

However, their attitude towards organic creatures, which is completely different from other omnic civilizations, has successfully increased the favor of the censors, and their diplomatic evaluation is constantly rising.

In the end, the spiritualists among the censors—people from the sky clan—discovered something special about some prosthetics here.

"Wait! I feel...that's—" a member of the sky clan exclaimed, because he saw a prosthetic person flying in the sky without any auxiliary equipment.

The materialists might not have realized it at first, but the Sky Clan, who have studied psychic energy, discovered at a glance that the prosthetic man was using psychic energy to fly, and the strong breath of psychic energy could be felt even from far away. arrive.

And in this group of people in their sky clan, no one has such powerful spiritual power, not even their god emperor is slightly inferior.

In other words, the prosthetic person was actually a psychic user who was more powerful than any of them.

This caused the belief of the group of idealists who believed that "all prosthetic bodies are evil" to shake violently, almost collapsing.

Seeing that this miraculous "psychic prosthetic" was about to fly over their heads, they hurriedly contacted the psychic using special means for psionics, and invited him to come down and meet.

In the end, what they saw was another creature that was very different from the main species of the "galactic family".

And he seems to be a little different from ordinary prosthetics, his gaze is more agile, it seems that in this "collective consciousness", he has a lot of autonomy.

"What's the matter? Visitors, do you have any questions?" He also asked the inspectors very kindly, just like the prosthetics along the way.

The censors of the materialistic civilization looked at each other, and people from the Sky Clan asked eagerly:
"You... no, why do you still have such powerful psychic power after using the prosthetic body and neural implants? As far as we know, the Void Realm will not accept an existence like you..."

The "psychic prosthetic" patiently listened to their questions, and then showed a kind smile.

In the eyes of the people of the Sky Clan, this is indeed a kind smile, but in the eyes of others, this smile has a certain sense of disobedience, as if... the conspiracy has been achieved.

"...Do you want to know? If you join us, everything will be clear..." His voice is full of persuasion, coupled with the kindness brought by a series of things on the road before, even if he is not a member of the Sky Clan, he suddenly has A sense of intoxication.

"Come, join us, become one with us, embrace the collective consciousness, so that all barriers can be eliminated, all doubts can be eliminated, and all disasters can be eliminated..."

He was still persuading, but in the blink of an eye, there were more and more prosthetic people around, as if they surrounded the place.

Most were thrown into some sort of disarray at the sound of his voice, and only a few of the toughest of vigilantes jerked awake to realize that what they had read in the file that "eliminates all barriers between species" What's the meaning.

Emotion is to make them a part of "machine intelligence"?
So after a few shouts, everyone was startled, and at the same time looked at these prosthetics with full vigilance.

"...a warning in advance, we are jointly protected by the Galactic Community and other civilizations. If you do this, you will become the public enemy of the galaxy." Someone calmly raised the umbrella.

And this "spiritual prosthesis" also returned to a normal state, but with that kind smile on his face all the time.

The prosthetic people around them also swarmed away suddenly, as if nothing happened.

"What are you talking about? We just want to eliminate the gap between us, just like you are wary of us now. What a pitiful thing! Obviously we are kind and want you to experience the benefits of the collective... ..."

"But that's ok, there's still plenty of time to come. We'll 'hug' this galaxy, no matter 'who' or 'what'..."
