Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 217 Out of Control Machine Intelligence
"—'Active Decontamination Protocol' started as expected, on time."

While the galactic civilizations were still arguing about the new "galactic focus", Li Wenyuan had already started planning how to use this "galactic crisis" this time.

Since the countdown of the core database was shortened rapidly due to the ghost signal of the "Active Purification Protocol", he has been paying attention to the time all the time, and at the moment when the countdown reached zero, he confirmed that the "Active Purification Protocol" has appeared.

This "Galaxy Crisis" came very punctually, or the "Active Purification Protocol" is still acting according to a certain degree of logic.

In the judgment of the "Core Database", the abnormal "ghost signal" from the "Active Purification Protocol" is the beginning of this "Galaxy Exam".

Within a fixed period of time after this initiation occurs, the "Active Purification Protocol" will be activated and the "Galactic Exam" will be performed.

This shows that the "active purification protocol" should still maintain a rough mechanical intelligence, and it will still be restricted by some "underlying rules".

Of course, he received the series of signals from the "Active Purification Protocol", and he searched through the database and found no information related to it, it seems to be "of" the Active Purification Protocol

"...This familiar method of galactic declaration is very suitable for the identity, and it is worthy of being part of the 'Guardian Matrix'...but there are some new points worth noting..."

Through the contents of the string of "purification announcements", it is possible to roughly deduce the conditions that need to be met for the activation of the "active purification protocol".

"...However, there are obviously some problems with the way of thinking of this machine intelligence."

Judging from the data volume of the "Guardian Protocol" that is being repaired, it is at least the "mechanical intelligence" at the central level of the omnic civilization in the galaxy, so at least the "Active Purification Protocol" at the same level cannot be lower.

Coupled with the information related to the "Active Purification Protocol" that seems to have been cleared intentionally, this "runaway mechanical intelligence" may not be that simple.

After the "Active Purification Protocol" issued the "Purification Proclamation", it began a series of acts of aggression and expansion.

This kind of "mechanical intelligence" may completely ignore the abnormality of "there is no silver 300 taels here", but Li Wenyuan will not.

However, the human way of thinking made Li Wenyuan see something wrong at a glance, which was considered superfluous behavior.

Thinking about it, Li Wenyuan remembered that he was in the "Empire of the Conqueror" parent galaxy. Because he believed that this civilization was infected by the "Active Purification Protocol", he invaded the network of this civilization to check for possible clues.

According to the observation of the galactic civilization, this out-of-control mechanical intelligence warship did not know where it came from, and quickly formed four vast "unexpected enemy" star fields, rapidly spreading towards the galactic civilization.

"The operation of machine intelligence needs a goal. Its goal is to 'protect the galaxy', which runs counter to the goal of the guardian agreement to 'protect the growth of galaxy civilization'...Is it because of the influence of the 'supremacy agreement'?"

Of course, it does not rule out that the string of "purification announcements" is just a "background story" set by humans for the "active purification agreement" in advance, and the actual "active purification agreement" is just implementing the content according to the procedure.

Li Wenyuan even speculated that those deleted information, destroyed important information storage terminals, and various obstacles that seemed to prevent him from exploring, might be done by the "Active Purification Protocol" to hinder him.

"—is it because of what it says in the 'Purification Proclamation': 'The galaxy has been infected by an unknown civilization and the damage has reached catastrophic levels'?"

According to the records of human beings, the artificial intelligence that is matched with the "purification terminal" is the one that can purify the universe, and the "active purification protocol" seems to be transformed from the "purification protocol".

Among them is a log that records the experience of the empire's scientists in the "barrier planet" in the galaxy - that is, the purification terminal, the interior exploration experience.

His database also records the previous discoveries on the "Purification Terminal" in detail, where an alien machine intelligence called "Quzheng Protocol" is recorded.

This "out-of-control mechanical intelligence" probably knew that there was such a "backup agreement" of him, and in order to prevent him from coming to the door in a short period of time, he cleaned up the traces so cleanly.

It seems that it is different from the expected "artificial natural disaster" that is only responsible for carrying out the "Galaxy Exam". It also shoulders a certain degree of "Guardian Galaxy" responsibility, which is very similar to the "Guardian Matrix".

Although Li Wenyuan is not a "mechanical intelligence" in the conventional sense, he can more or less be able to infer how a "mechanical intelligence" like him thinks through the operation of the program.

However, Li Wenyuan does not think that the "Active Purification Protocol" is only at the level of a "program". He prefers that the "Active Purification Protocol" is indeed a mechanical intelligence with a certain degree of logical thinking ability.

"... If you guess like this, humans really underestimate this ancient artificial intelligence that came from 12 billion years ago... Even if it is disconnected and transformed, it can still affect it subtly..."

He felt that this happened because the "Active Purification Protocol" believed that this would make his "backup protocol" unaware of the deleted content, and believed that the found "Scavenger Warships" were all.

Those mechanical intelligences with less logical thinking ability will not conduct complex thinking, but directly derive complete information from known data.

Li Wenyuan stopped thinking about the unknown destiny of mankind, and turned his attention to the current galaxy.

At that time, he felt that the content of the log was very wrong. At the end of the log, it was like "There is no silver 300 taels here", emphasizing many times that they only found the "Scavenger Battleship" in the barrier planet, and found nothing else.

"So how are they doing outside the galaxy? I hope they won't suffer a lot..."

From this point of view alone, its status as "part of the guardianship matrix" is hard to deny.

Li Wenyuan felt that the "Active Purification Protocol" obviously failed to understand how its creators think. If it didn't do these redundant things, maybe he would have to realize that it would take a lot of effort.

"...However, the 'Active Purification Protocol' is obviously out of control, and the 'purification policy' is being implemented indiscriminately. This is not as simple as omnic's hatred of organisms. It will also clean up the rest of the machine intelligence."

"If you think about it this way, when you entered the 'purification terminal' for the first time, the wrong planet introductions you received were because the 'active purification protocol' was used to deceive people... Would there be people who are so easily deceived?"

Judging from the expansion direction of the "Active Purification Protocol", there is a "central galaxy" in these four star fields, and it is believed that there is the body of the "Active Purification Protocol".

Therefore, the Galactic Alliance formed by the "Galactic Community" is trying to fight against the "unexpected enemy", and the civilizations in the galaxy are using their own means to survive this galactic crisis.

Even the "main force" in the fight against the crisis, the "Guardian", seems to be showing signs of doing something.

The situation seems to be good, but will this crisis as a "Galaxy Exam" be "easily" passed?
