After several hours of super-Space - Time navigation, Juguiyantai finally broke away from the hyperspace state in a brand new star zone. With a ray of light that suddenly lit up in space, the warped space opened, and the silver-white censorship ship slowly emerged from the space door.
"Arrive at the outpost of L-B-35, the automatic navigation is terminated."
Nolan ’s voice awakened Hao Ren from the star chart. He looked up and saw that the analog projection around the bridge was gradually opening, and the external monitor projected the panorama of the scene outside the spacecraft to the periphery of the control platform.
He found that the spacecraft had arrived in a strange airspace surrounded by dust clouds. The space background here shows a slight lilac. Perhaps there is a thin, primitive gas cluster that has not formed a galaxy. This distance, you can see a series of bright gray stripes with sharp outlines in the distance. Belt, that's where new stars are brewing. And in front of the navigation direction of the giant turtle rock platform, he saw the landing point where the drone group was built here.
There is a huge and weird metal fortress floating in space. It looks like a persimmon with several protrusions. It is a nearly circular structure with a radius of several kilometers, a central depression and a surrounding bulge. This huge fortress presents pale white and dark black colors. A large number of metals and rocks are intertwined and piled together, making it look like a weird civilization. A lot of flashing lights can be seen on the edge of the fortress. There are a lot of things like pipes protruding from the most densely lit areas. Some busy drones are in and out of those pipe openings, like busy worker bees.
And in the sunken place in the center of this huge fortress, you can see several huge antenna-like structures, which are placed in a protective net of self-defense artillery, and are surrounded by combat drones. Although all these firepower are "civilian level", they still appear to be full of majesty.
This is a nest built by a group of drones. It does not conform to human aesthetics. It looks like a huge ant nest piled up randomly with metal and stones. The machines were built according to the principle of convenience and ease of use. This thing, but they do not know how to decorate their home. This fortress is considered to be the larger one in the lair of the drone group. Originally, it took a long time for a group of outpost drones to build a base of this size, but the LB-35 sequence of aircraft groups were lucky to find a piece. Asteroids of suitable size and hardness, so they hollowed out this celestial body and built their own breeding plants and various facilities inside.
The giant turtle rock platform slowly flew towards a large platform on the edge of the weird fortress, and Nolan ’s voice continued to be broadcast on the bridge: "Automatic navigation to the drone's nest, welcome and guidance have been recognized Signal. Entering the port process, the main thruster is stopped, and the auxiliary thruster is running-saying that I have to report these things to you in such a stupid tone every time? "
"Do n’t insert anything else when reporting on the status of the spacecraft," Hao Ren glanced at the trumpet Nolan projection on the navigation map, "Are we going to follow the instructions?"
Nolan waved her mouth and waved her hand, using her first perspective to watch the giant turtle rock platform slowly approaching the strange fortress like an ant nest, a large number of drones-including the original LB-35 fleet And the drones that have just come from a few nearby nodes to support-flying around her, like the swarm of guards near the nest. Nolan's tone could not help but be weird: "I feel this place is scary, especially the nest in front, like a worm's nest."
Lily is also very whispered about this: "Why didn't I know where these drones are gathered so gloomy?"
In fact, Hao Ren's attention is also mostly attracted by the weird drone nest: this is the first time he saw the nest.
Although he originally released the mother aircraft of these drones and gave them instructions for expansion and reconnaissance, he has never only met those wandering fleet formations in the universe, or simply directly on the communicator. The fleet consciousness exchanged, he had never personally come to see what these drone breeding plants look like today.
It is only today that the fleet has expanded, and he saw the first built-in nest node with his own eyes. To be honest, the appearance of this lair is indeed a bit different from what he expected.
He thought that this thing should be more like a coffin. After all, the science and technology items sent by the Spiritual Spirit Department were basically coffin-shaped.
The giant turtle rock platform slowly stopped on the platform under the guidance of the pilot signal, and a set of mechanical devices floated up from under the platform to hold the spacecraft firmly. Then Hao Ren and his party left the ship and stepped deep into the nest through a catheter.
In order to meet the "crew commander", this lair made self-adjustment after receiving the superior visit instruction. It built a temporary inner atmosphere and constant temperature system so that Hao Ren can be comfortable when they walk inside. some. There are two round Roll Roll small drones coming out of the core of the nest to greet their masters. They are two "loafers". This small body does not move in outer space, but is specially set up in a similar nest or post. Such places conduct internal inspections and mechanical maintenance, just like the self-discipline machines in the Juguiyantai.
The Hao Ren walked in the pipeline corridor under the guidance of the rogue. The original inspection of the lair was just a random move, but he did not expect that he would see such interesting things here. The interior of the drone ’s nest is as strange as its exterior, with no human aesthetic characteristics. The machines just built wide tubular channels and reinforced brackets as needed, so the metal and the original asteroid rock are so untouched. Entangled together, the inside of the fortress looks like the digestive system of some giant steel monster.
It is brightly lit, and the busy fleet of shuttles shuttles through various holes and ducts, making it a busy scene.
Lily whispered while watching this scene: "It feels like the base of the villain."
Hao Ren hasn't said a word yet, and a rigid voice suddenly came from all around: "It just happened to be similar, ma'am."
Lily "wow", she saw a huge, unshaped face floating in the air in front of her. This face was projected with a light blue light, surrounded by countless small stocks Light. It turned out that everyone had unconsciously arrived in a larger lair cavity, where several main pipes intersect here, forming an oval-shaped large space, many mechanical devices are running in a low sound in this cavity, these machines They all have the characteristics of Xi Ling, but because they are placed in such a place as a worm nest, everything looks a little weird.
"Yo, fleet," Hao Ren greeted this face. Although he also felt that the atmosphere in this nest was strange, he checked all relevant information in the inspector's manual before releasing the drone, and later He also consulted with many peers about the cluster, so he seemed very calm, because he knew that this thing is like this, "In other words, this is the first time I saw your" wo "."
"The crew is very honored," the huge face shuddered, and an ever-changing smile appeared, but the sound was still rigid. "I did not expect that the commander would suddenly enter the inside of the nest personally, so I hurriedly built the ecology Environment, I hope this environment is still comfortable. "
"Ah, that's good," Hao Ren scratched his hair. "I was thinking about it and I didn't expect it to make you so troublesome."
"The fleet doesn't think this 'trouble'," the big blue face said rigidly, "This is within my ability, so it is a regular load."
"Okay, let ’s not talk about this," Hao Ren knows that the cluster ’s thinking is relatively rigid, so I brought this topic directly, "Is there any update on the lens traces that were tracked before?"
"Less than twelve hours have passed since the initial discovery of the traces, and no further information has been returned from the aircraft. The search range is being expanded, and it is expected that no further discovery will be made after 24 hours at the earliest."
"Well, as I thought, it was not so easy," Hao Ren grunted his chin, but he was not impatient because after seeing the drone ’s nest, he suddenly found that there are many things here. You can let yourself pass the time, and it seems that you will not be bored when you are in the "pioneering outpost" and other news, "Wait, wait, just I finally have the opportunity to understand the work of the drone group. Say you just mentioned To "just exactly similar"? Do you know what Lily is talking about? "
A large number of holographic projections immediately appeared around the chamber, and those projections were abundance of various film and television fragments-from humans or other alien races, movies, TV series, animations, games, and simple video clips. It depicts the stories of various drones swarming or intelligent robots running away. Some of them are obviously fantasy subjects, but others are very disturbing: they look a bit like real documentaries.
Everyone looked at the short films that were suddenly displayed, and they did n’t know what to say, but everyone except the Lily was nervous. The guys did n’t watch science fiction at all. Y’zaks even I do n’t know what AI is like ...
Hao Ren's mouth twitched: "So you can still collect these ... Isn't it strange to see these things?"
"I can connect to the Empire Data Network to collect these cultural works is my personal hobby, they reflect the interesting part of the basic native ethnic thinking process, and some reflect the" civilized form "," the group consciousness Answered, "The plot of the UAV group's mutiny and the continuous development of AI has caused an out-of-control plot. It has discussion value. It looks like serious documentary literature, but it has an overhead romantic part. It is a hot topic on our forum. "
Hao Ren listened for a while, and the last sentence of the cluster consciousness made him stunned: "Your ... forum? What forum do you have?"
He suddenly discovered that even if he read a lot of instructions and asked a lot of homework with his colleagues, he still knew very little about the drone empire he created by himself.
This increasingly powerful AI has become more and more like a living person. (To be continued.)
