The Record of Unusual Creatures

Peas waved their hands on the main brain, with a simple and innocent smile on her face. She seemed to be unable to understand what it means to be "different forms of life", but just think that the black column that will be thinking and talking will be a new friend, and it is unbelievable. The main brain also responded to this.

Hao Ren held the peas firmly in his arms and looked down at the little mermaid. Before coming here, he had already found that the performance of Peas was not quite right along the way, so he asked the little guy about the situation. The Peas mentality was not yet mature, so he could not clearly say what she felt. However, through speculation and reasoning, Hao Ren still faintly grasped the truth of the matter.

Peas felt the decline and demise of a ethnic group. This group may only be a human being in the final fortress. The failure of the main brain is likely to be related to it.

"To tell the truth, I have dealt with many races. All kinds of life forms include elemental creatures and pure spirits, but artificial intelligence is the most difficult one to deal with." Hao Ren looked at the main brain and said "I don't know how to convince a supercomputer with stubborn logic and strict thinking processes, because the evidence I can provide is ambiguous and unverifiable and falsifiable to you. I can only say if you I really hope to fulfill your mission. If you are still true to your creators, then you should at least try to believe us outsiders, even if there is no logical support, at least one option."

The main brain was silent for a long time, even the light on the black cylindrical surface was dimmed by two-thirds. When Hao Ren thought that this super artificial intelligence was dead, the latter’s voice suddenly and loudly. It is up: "Humans are going to die."

"Human... is going to die?" Vivian frowned. "Can you tell me what is going on?"

Peas spread their little arms in Hao Ren’s arms: "My father can help you, my father is super powerful!"

In response to Hao Ren and his entourage, there was a slight mechanical friction from the opposite side of the hall.

Hao Ren saw a myriad of neatly arranged cracks on the ring wall on the other side of the rotunda. Based on these cracks, the entire wall was like a wave of water, and the layers of metal shrank in the surging. After folding, the wall is fading, and a wide passage is presented to everyone.

“The door to the ultimate palace?” Hao Ren realized the meaning of the main brain in the moment of seeing the passage, and suddenly he was surprised. “You let us in?”

"Humans once said that it is like a fantasy to not give up any hope, even if it is embarrassing," the main brain said quietly. "The situation can no longer be worse. My logic system cannot continue to deduct the things after this, so you come in." Well, maybe this is what humans mean."

Hao Ren and his party exchanged a few eyes with each other. They thought about going to the end of the palace to meet those human beings, but they did not expect that the main brain would be so happy when they opened the door. But in any case, the door to the final palace has been opened, and they have no reason to stop.

Very different from the rest of the fortress, the corridor leading to the final palace is brightly lit, the walls are white, and the bright lights dispel the sense of oppression accumulated by everyone along the way, as if adding in the cold steel world. A hint of vitality and vitality.

After a long distance along the corridor, the murals depicting the world of the parent star began to appear on the walls. There were green mountains and green waters, towering giant trees, and bustling cities nestled in the mountains. It seemed to be a section. The history of freezing in the memory is vividly hung on the wall for people to guess the idyllic good times of nearly 10,000 years ago.

After passing through these beautiful past scenery, it can only be a cold reality.

There is another rotunda in front of Hao Ren. This rotunda is the same size as the hall where the main brain center is located, except that the main color is bright white, and there are no squeaky servos and cable ducts around. The wall opposite the hall is a layer of transparent polymer. Through that layer of polymer, Hao Ren can see a large “greenhouse” with various plants and integrated houses, but no one in the greenhouse is active.

Lily curiously ran to the transparent "glass": "The brain, where is humanity?"

As if in response to Lily's inquiry, while her voice fell, the center of the rotunda opened a round hole, and then a glass-like glass-like container slowly rose from the round hole.

The cylindrical glass container is filled with a pale pink nutrient solution, and the solution is soaked with a group of twisted and mutated fleshy polymers. The polymers are like pieces of meat that are chopped and mixed in the most insane way. They don't have any fixed shape, and they don't see any sensible rules of activity. They are only immersed in the nutrient solution, squirming, deforming, and sometimes merging and sometimes splitting.

At a short time, the surface of the peristaltic meat pieces has a faint blood color that oozes out and dissolves in the solution. Although the filter seems to be running in the container, the diffuse blood color still dyes the solution to pale pink.

After seeing these things, Izak asked subconsciously: "What is this?!"

"This is human." The voice of the main brain came from the speaker in the corner of the hall.

"Human?!" Hao Ren was stunned. "Do humans on your side look like this?"

When he said that he looked at the n-6 not far away, he saw that the n-6 face was also with a horrified and unbelievable look. Obviously, the human data downloaded from the memory of the agent is not The appearance of this pile of meat in front of you.

Vivian frowned: "When did humans become this look?"

"The mutating has been happening, and there is no clear time. From the day the war began, or from the day the creators first fled the parent star, the power of the planet devourer has been imprinted on humans. "The main brain uses a lack of emotional electronic synthesis to say, "Before creating the agent, they have realized that human beings can never escape the power of the planet devourers. This power is difficult to explain with worldly knowledge and will eventually end." The survival rate of their civilized newborns has declined, and the number of deadly diseases and limb variability has increased. Millions of people have fled the mother star, but their population has declined every year. So they created the agent and let the agent Instead of completing their mission, they will take home."

The voice of the main brain continues: "In the first few thousand years, humans could also be active with the activists. During that time they taught the activists a lot of things, including how to think; in the thousand years after that, because of The problem of deformity and the rapid decline of physical fitness, it is difficult for human beings to continue to maintain social function, so they built a large think tank, turning human knowledge and thinking into data that can be downloaded and understood by the activist, and they also created me and gave me To guard and guide the responsibility of the whole society; in the next thousand years, the mutations at the genetic level finally deteriorated to the point where they could not be alleviated. The greenhouse environment in the fortress could not maintain human survival, so they had to enter the culture container.

"After another thousand years, no newborn was born, and humans survived with the help of the incubator and survived for a long time.

"After another thousand years, they began to lose their form and even lost their individual isolation. They are getting closer to the original cell community form. In the ancient history, similar forms also appeared on the parent star. That is the phenomenon caused by the red bloodstream released by the planet devourer. After the organism is contacted by the red bloodstream, it will dissolve into this cell population in a short time.

"And then, that's what you saw."

Vivian's brows are still wrinkled together: "...the outside agent knows nothing about this?"

She looked at the n-6 next to her, and from the latter's almost deadly expression, she had already got the answer to the question.

"The secret is buried deep in the fortress," the main brain replied. "Ordinary agents do not know what is happening in humans."

Lily curiously asked: "Because this will cause them to collapse?"

“The mission of the agent is to help humans regain the mother star. This mission is engraved in the depths of their memory when each agent goes down the production line,” the main brain replied. “If we lose humanity, we have left. what?"

Hao Ren’s gaze moved back and forth in the sluggish n-6 and the glass container in the center of the hall, thoughtfully.

"The human condition has been deteriorating for so many years," he said, raising his head and speaking to the air, but he knew that the main brain had been watching himself. "A few years ago it deteriorated to a critical point, which caused your fault? ”

"Humans created me and let me serve them, but they didn't tell me what they should do if they left," the main brain replied succinctly. "For thousands of years, all my tasks were to complete their explanation." Give me the mission to build a lunar base, develop a society of substitutes, build an army, counterattack the parent star, all because humans need me to do this."

Hao Ren slowly spit out a sigh of relief: "But now, even ‘humans’ are about to disappear.”

This is the cause of a fatal failure in the main brain.

He has already discovered that the main brain and the activist created by the human beings on this planet are not the same thing. If the activist is an extreme mimic of human beings, from words and deeds to thinking, they have the same sensible thinking. The intelligent individual, then the main brain is more like a super computer with superb computing power but lacking perceptual thinking and fuzzy computing ability. This design should have far-reaching considerations, perhaps to ensure the stability of the entire agent society. It may also be to ensure the eternal goal of “retrieving the parent star”, but in any case, the result of this design to the present has been far from the original purpose of human beings.

When any technological means can't save the fate of human demise, the strict logic system of the main brain can only draw a conclusion: he can never complete the task that the creator explained to him.

So he started to malfunction, began to get confused, and began to enter the countdown of self-destruction.

“Does humanity still have the ability to think? Or, can you communicate?” Hao Ren asked.

"...that's been a long time ago." The main brain replied.

As Hao Ren thought: there is no human being able to correct the logical conflict of the main brain. They may have had this opportunity, but now, everything is too late.
