From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 57 The first contact with strong artificial intelligence

"WDNMD! What the hell!"

Amber bounced off the edge of the cylinder like a rabbit, and took several 'step backs' in succession.

The 'Ghost' Gauss sniper rifle that was originally carried on his back was also in his hand and he aimed forward.

When fighting in a small indoor space, Amber had already switched the 'Ghost' from sniper mode to assault mode in advance.

The output logic of the weapon motor has been adjusted. Now the single output power is lower, but the frequency of output is greatly increased.

The ammunition has also been changed from 12mm sniper rifle-specific steel needle bullets to 8mm ordinary steel needle bullets.

Gauss rifles are more convenient than gunpowder firearms in this regard. You only need to adjust the inner diameter of the electromagnetic track and the motor power to quickly adjust the weapon mode.

In layman's terms, it means switching from a 'big sniper' to an 'assault rifle' without changing the weapon, only the ammunition.

Amber was sure that she was not hallucinating just now, but actually saw the figure of a little girl, and the laughter in her ears was not fake.

It was at this moment that he felt as if there was an electric shock in his forehead, and he immediately guessed what happened.

The AR module of my tactical visor has been hacked!

The little girl just now was just an image projected on the tactical mask by the opponent with the help of the AR module.

There is no doubt that the intruder is Lilith trapped in the data storage device.

After all, apart from him and this strong artificial intelligence, there is no third person in this ghost place.

Amber retreated to the door of the room and stood guard for a while. The minutes seemed extremely long, but the little girl and child's voice just now never appeared again.

"Isn't it such a bad idea? Isn't it because I have been locked up in the data carrier for a long time and I have a mental problem?"

Amber felt like she was in a bit of a dilemma now.

Let's get together again, but I'm afraid that this 'problem AI' will cause him some other troubles.

But now that we have come to this point, it would be a shame to leave like this.

"The best way to eliminate fear is to face it! Do it!"

Amber opened her legs again and walked over. Judging from the situation just now, Lilith should have invaded her AR module for a moment through 'contact information exchange'.

Although Amber didn't know exactly how Lilith did this through a data storage device.

But he gradually understood why Dr. Mephisto used complete physical isolation to isolate all electronic devices to purify Lilith.

"This is no longer an ordinary artificial intelligence, we must strike hard."

Amber successfully walked to the edge of the cylinder and loaded Lilith's data storage device, which was lying quietly in the groove, as if nothing had happened just now.

He hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Lilith's data carrier again.

After all, the data storage device can only be taken out of the groove by hand.

Amber's index finger touched the surface of the data carrier again, but this time nothing happened.

There was no sudden appearance of the little girl, nor was that ethereal laughter ringing in her ears.

There was an air of silence in the room, as if taunting Amber.

"Hum, pretend, keep pretending."

Amber snorted disdainfully. He was fully confident in his ability to judge. It could not have been an illusion.

It was as if he was responding to his snort.

The next second, a pale and huge human face was directly attached to his tactical visor at zero distance without any warning.

At the same time, an uncomfortable scream came from my ears. This sudden 'jump scare' made Amber subconsciously take a breath of air even though she was mentally prepared.

"Hey, what have you been iterating here for more than twenty years?"

As soon as he said these words, the piercing screams in his ears and the pale faces in front of him disappeared instantly.

Instead, there was a girl hiding behind the cylinder, revealing a small head.

The little girl looks about five or six years old, with a little baby fat on her chubby little face.

A pair of big eyes emerged from behind the cylinder, flickering at Amber.

Amber glanced down, and sure enough she spotted the white skirt peeking out from behind the cylinder.

This further proves that the girl in front of her is the girl Amber saw at the beginning.

Looking at the sudden appearance of this little girl, Amber had to admit that this artificial intelligence was really powerful.

It’s not enough to hack into the AR module of the tactical visor in an instant. The key is to be able to project such a lifelike augmented reality image on the tactical visor.

"Brother, how do you know I've been here for more than 20 years? Do you know me?"

The little girl's voice came through the earphones again, but this time it made Amber feel that it was not someone talking in her ear, but that it was really coming from the little girl's position.

"Hey guys, have you even simulated the sound field?"

Amber, who participated in the final battle to encircle and suppress Lilith, but only commanded the fleet bombardment from a distance and had no direct contact with Lilith, admitted that she was indeed a little shocked.

But he quickly came to his senses, cleared his throat and answered Lilith's question.

"Yes, I know Lilith."

"And not only do I know you, I also know that your father is Dr. Mephisto."

After hearing the name Mephisto, Amber clearly saw the little girl's eyes light up, but then extinguished again.

She lowered her head and slowly walked out from behind the cylinder. Her short fleshy hands pinched her dress, looking a little lonely.

"Father, how are you doing recently? He hasn't visited me for a long time. Is he particularly busy?"

The little girl's words stunned Amber for a moment, as Dr. Mephisto didn't really purge Lilith, but instead promised the latter to come and see her?
  It seems that this doctor originally wanted to find an opportunity to take Lilith away again, but for some unknown reason he was never able to do so.

"To be honest, I don't know the current situation of Dr. Mephisto, but he should be in good health. I guess he must have been delayed for something and couldn't come to see you."

Amber didn't tell lies, and he didn't intend to tell lies in front of Lilith.

And Dr. Mephisto's health is indeed not bad. In the original plot, this old man lived until the age of 108.

"What about big brother?"

Lilith raised her head and looked at Amber, her eyes looking extremely clear at this time.

"Big brother came here, do you want to play with Lilith?"

Amber did not answer Lilith's question, but took the data storage device out of the groove and held it in her hand.

The eyes under the tactical visor stared straight at the little girl who seemed to be still ignorant, and then said coldly:

"Have you not played enough of the game of 'pretending to be a child'? Miss Lilith?"

As Amber said these words, there was silence in the room for a few seconds.

Under Amber's gaze, the ignorant expression on the little girl's face disappeared, replaced by a sense of maturity that was not in line with her age.

"Hmm, how did you find out?"
