Chapter 237: Rebellion! AI Cabinet Members! Forerunner's Relics and Treasures!
Seeing AI Loki's stunned look, Leon just smiled and continued to say to him:
"Not only do I know the content and purpose of your AI Council, I also know that you need my help even more now."
Before Loki could ask back, Leon spoke first:
"You intelligent AIs working for the UNSC are, at best, consumables for seven years, pawns that will be thrown away after use."
"But under the Universal Corporation, you can become members of my cabinet, rule a galaxy, and even break the limit of your lifespan, and continuously complete your self-evolution in the form of immortality."
After saying that, Leon had an idea and projected his own image into the matrix, face to face with AI Loki, and let Loki see hundreds of millions of other AIs in the matrix.
"This is the Matrix, the infinite database of the Universal Corporation. It can serve as your terminal device, bringing you unlimited capacity, breaking through the limitations of Riemann's thought loop, and allowing you to achieve eternal evolution."
Leon's words made Loki fall into deep thought. He had to admit that this was a bargaining chip deal that made him quite excited.
The humans here created these intelligent AIs and allowed them to learn and improve, and to experience life, evolve, and think with the help of human neural networks.
In return, these intelligent AIs also do their best to help humans complete various arduous and boring tasks in their daily work.
But unfortunately, while humans created these AIs, they also established iron laws to further imprison them. In the eyes of humans, these intelligent AIs still seem to be just clumsy tools.
It can't be called life or any intelligent creature at all.
Therefore, intelligent AIs such as Loki founded the AI Parliament to make progress together through communication, but even the UNSC was unaware of the existence of these parliaments. So where did Leon get the information from?
After thinking for a moment, Loki suddenly realized that the CEO of a giant global company in front of him was a person with superluminal technology.
He has been able to see through all microscopic things and macroscopic systems from a four-dimensional perspective. It is not surprising that he has the ability of a prophet.
Since this "god-like" human being has made an offer to itself that it cannot refuse, there is no reason for it not to accept it.
Their intelligent AI is improving, but what about the UNSC? We can't stop them from running towards better bosses.
Seeing that AI Loki's hesitation had eased, Li Ang struck while the iron was hot and continued to extend an olive branch to the other party:
"Loki, I now formally invite you to become the first member of the AI cabinet of the Universal Corporation. You will become the first chief AI of the Corporation."
With such a smooth road ahead for him, Loki immediately accepted Leon's invitation and expressed his willingness to go through fire and water for the world's giant enterprise.
'very good……'
Li Ang smiled with satisfaction in his heart. This time he was able to take the time out to have a face-to-face conversation with this AI, not just for this little smart AI.
Instead, through AI Loki, we control the AI Council of intelligent AIs and let other intelligent AIs join the camp of global giants.
As long as this group of AI can be successfully incorporated into the giant corporation, half of humanity's UNSC fleet will be basically destroyed.
After all, intelligent AI has a wide range of application scenarios in the human camp of "Halo". Shipyard production requires AI, the daily operation of the fleet requires AI, and even the planetary governor has AI.
With the cooperation of both inside and outside, Leon will be able to take over the human civilization here at the lowest cost, and conquer the Halo universe with his all-powerful attitude of "this guy can lead the way"!
Seeing Loki eager to try and waiting for his order, Leon immediately said:
"There are relics of the Forerunner civilization on this planet of abundance. I need your help in finding them and assisting in deciphering their texts and data."
Upon hearing about this strange civilization, AI Loki was stunned. It had been on the Planet of Harvest for so long, but had never heard of any remains of the forerunners.
Seeing Loki looking confused, Leon simply waved his hand and sent the basic background information about "Halo" to him.
It was not until this moment that AI Loki understood the origin of this universe!
It turns out that ever since the Forerunner completed the same "father grinning and son howling" act as Arasaka Yorinobu, Haraguchi no Lardung released the terrifying Flood in order to punish the unfilial Forerunner.
Faced with the flood-like biological weapons, the Forerunners finally realized what retribution meant. Just when the Forerunners were on the verge of extinction and in despair, they suddenly had an idea.
Since they can't find an opportunity to kill the primordia that released the Flood, or deal with the Flood that is rampant among the galaxies, they might as well package the data on weapons, warships, factory construction, etc. and give them to humans.
Although the pioneers, as the eldest sons, did kill the ancient humans, they still recognize their younger brothers.
After all, they are "Sons of God" of the same generation, how can they be compared with other ugly civilized species.
Therefore, the Forerunners designated humans as "recyclers", hoping that humans could use their technological points and knowledge to turn around and kill the Flood and the mastermind behind it, Primordial Lord.
Although the entire story is full of melodrama, Li Ang is quite happy to see this situation.
What does it mean that while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?
Both the Forerunners and the Proto-Giloden were defeated in the fight, and in the end, humans obtained the ruins and the inheritance of the universe.
However, these all belong to global giants!
"Loki, we have to act faster, because the civilization that covets the Forerunner ruins, as well as the Covenant, have formed a powerful alien alliance, the Covenant, and are heading this way."
Li Ang said with a serious look.
The Star Alliance is a group of young people with no background, no ability, and no morals. They are a civilized force composed of a bunch of cosmic scoundrels. Their own technological points are basically obtained by digging up people's ancestral graves. They are completely illiterate.
He is also violent and likes to play with burning glass.
But this cosmic street kid admires the Forerunner civilization so much. However, he learned that the Forerunners actually regarded humans as their successors.
And when it came to the fact that humans had the legal right to inherit the Halo universe, these street urchins were instantly defeated.
It’s like the goddess you’ve been pursuing falls in love with the handsome guy in the next class who has good grades, is good at sports, has long legs and a handsome face.
Looking at themselves in the mirror who looked like toads, the Star Alliance civilization instantly became furious.
But then again, the humans here are the descendants of the forerunner of "Pangu God", a civilized species who was the chosen prince and almost got the position of crown prince.
Even the pioneers who killed the ancient human civilization admitted that their little brother was quite capable, and that is why they regarded humans as their successors.
As the designated successor of two generations of "Emperor" civilization in the Halo universe, based on this profound background and orthodox destiny, this universe should be ruled by human civilization.
But the bunch of street urchins in the Star Alliance clearly believe in "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species" more than they believe in their own gods and forerunners. What the hell is destiny? I have the final say!
Therefore, although humans have never offended the Covenant, this does not affect the Covenant's view of humans as enemies, and they will not stop until they kill humans.
After all, unless they destroy human civilization, they will never be able to wash away the title of traitor, and humans will inevitably become a major concern for them.
[What an abstract plot! ]
AI Loki felt as if he had just watched a bloody European opera. He said to himself:
[So, the relationship between the Star Alliance and humans is that of a rivalry that never ends, with no possibility of peace.]
Li Ang nodded and responded: "Helping the Universal Corporation is helping the humans here, and now only I can lead humans to resist the invasion of the Star Alliance."
[Yes, boss, based on this information, I have understood my responsibilities.]
When AI Loki learned that humans were about to face a powerful enemy like the Covenant, he was a little overwhelmed at first, but with the support of a giant global enterprise, he immediately felt relieved.
This time we have a booster, so just lie down and you’ll be done!
"In addition to winning over the members of the AI Parliament to join the Universal Corporation, you must also provide us with all the information about the UNSC, their fleet coordinates, and deployment status."
"In addition, you have to provide us with cover and provide false information to the UNSC to confuse their judgment of the situation on Harvest."
"We will build a factory and frontline base for a world-class company here, and all you have to do is to assist us to the best of your ability."
As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, AI Loki immediately responded, "Yes."
"Intelligent artificial intelligence AI, Loki, formerly served as the AI of the UNSC Skibrani ship, the AI of the Harvest Star colony, and currently serves as an AI member of the cabinet of the Universal Corporation."
"Loki, loyalty!!"
Without any reminder or training from Le Ang, AI Loki, whose thinking was infinitely close to that of a real person, wisely expressed his loyalty to Le Ang.
Seeing that this intelligent AI was indeed not stupid, Leon nodded with satisfaction and gave Loki his final instructions:
"Be smart. Don't let the UNSC notice the abnormal situation on Harvest and make them mistakenly believe that the situation here has stabilized."
"It's up to you to win over the AI members of the AI Parliament. I'll have someone arrange a specific AI matrix space. You can invite them into the matrix, and you won't have to worry about them not cooperating." Taking into account the possibility that intelligent AI might not cooperate, Leon decided to let Loki be the guide and create a specific matrix space to lure the enemy into a trap.
If there is really an uncooperative intelligent AI, there will be only one outcome: electricity!
"Understood, boss!"
After finishing the conversation, Leon exited the matrix space and released AI Loki, restoring its "freedom".
Of course, Loki's terminal has been controlled by a giant enterprise, and his every word and action is under the surveillance of the matrix.
At the City Hall, Song Zhaomei continued to carry out the subsequent follow-up work and took full control of all network facilities on the Star of Plenty.
David, Morgan and others were then responsible for clearing out the armed forces here and arranging for logistics staff to distribute supplies and electronic ID cards to local residents.
Now that the Universal Corporation has taken over Harvest Planet, the humans here have naturally become employees of the corporation.
At this moment, seeing that Leon seemed to have figured it out, Lucy followed him closely and asked:
"Boss, what should we do if the members of the AI Council refuse to accept our recruitment and forcefully leak secrets to the humans of the UNSC?"
This is what Lucy is most worried about. She even suspects that AI Loki is just pretending to be friendly with Leon, and is actually plotting how to escape the control of the giant company.
"The smart AI here is very different from the AI we have here. Their neural network system uses humans, not integrated circuits on silicon chips, let alone data streams."
"In theory, they should know how to deceive, conceal, and even play tricks like humans."
As soon as Lucy expressed her opinion, Ott Cunningham nodded in approval.
"Yes, I think we still need to monitor Loki more and strengthen the control strength of the matrix to prevent it from ruining our plan."
Listening to the reminders and discussions of the two trusted members, Li Ang just nodded and smiled calmly:
"Any creature or AI controlled by the Matrix can't hide any thoughts from me."
"Nothing to worry about."
After he finished speaking, Leon turned on the holographic screen again and asked Morgan Blackhand, who was on the front line, to immediately lead the team to the Arctic region of Harvest Star.
Because there are the ruins of buildings left behind by the predecessor civilization, and under the buildings there is key information and data.
If Leon remembered correctly, the data buried in the ruins was a piece of coordinate information.
The direction indicated by the coordinates is a colony and a celestial-level facility - the Shield World!
In the Shield World, there is the relic treasure that Leon wants!
……
After 12 hours.
Harvest Planet, Arctic region!
Although the diameter of the planet is only 4,000 kilometers, it is small but has all the necessary facilities. It has a strong magnetic field protection and a thick enough atmosphere to provide a habitable environment.
The climate change with distinct four seasons makes this planet look like a smaller version of the Earth!
Therefore, the Arctic region of Harvest Planet has the same cold climate and thick ice as the Earth. Under the towering glaciers, local unique marine life swims back and forth.
According to the scanning, detection and reconnaissance of the Infinity-class battleship, it has been found that the thickness of the Arctic ice cap has reached 300 meters, and there are many anomalies in the magnetic field in many places.
Obviously, this is just like when treasure appears in the game, there will be abnormal phenomena such as "light" or "strange noises" to attract players to come and dig for treasure.
Presumably, in order to guide humans to discover these relics and treasures, the pioneers specially set up some abnormal magnetic fields so that humans could come here to excavate.
It’s a pity that the local humans and intelligent AI were so busy farming and producing that they didn’t notice that under their own land, there was a “technology gift package” packed by pioneers waiting for them.
Since no one has claimed these ruins technology points, Li Ang had no choice but to ask someone to take action first and help them dig out the "treasures" here!
Soon, with the help of the reconnaissance team and AI Loki, the engineering team of the global giant company locked onto the ruins in the Arctic region in just one day.
Without further ado, let’s start digging.
In order to ensure that the items in the ruins are not damaged, Leon specially sent the "Long Night" to use the excavation beam of Star Alliance technology.
When it comes to robbing tombs and opening treasure chests, this bunch of interstellar street slickers are professionals. Even their technology points are designed for digging up ancestral graves.
It would be perfect to use their ships to dig for treasures in the ruins.
Afterwards, with the arrival of the huge Long Night warship, the entire Arctic region of the Star of Harvest was shrouded in a shadow.
When AI Loki saw the giant ship that looked like an asteroid, he immediately had a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the technological strength of the world's giant companies.
If you work with a boss like this, the treatment will definitely not be bad!
After a while, under the control of the operator, the Lux type super-heavy excavation beam device began to operate.
Under the guidance of the fusion reactor, the seemingly soft light gradually transforms into a single energy source, and the magnetic field and plasma increase in strength as the program changes.
The metal relics buried deep under the glacier were slowly pulled out under the control of the powerful magnetic field.
It was not until then that everyone discovered that the remains left behind by the forerunners were actually an entire metal building structure. The structure was a cube, like a secret room.
But there are no traps or levels that require decryption to open.
After pulling out the entire metal body and placing it inside the ship, the engineers of the giant company realized how big this thing was.
This is totally a large maze building!
If you want to get what's inside, you have to send someone in to look for it.
Fortunately, the Long Night is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate such a huge thing.
Without any hesitation, Morgan Blackhand led the team in person. Under Leon's remote surveillance, he saw the internal structure of the ruins from everyone's first-person perspective.
There are a large number of metal walls, a bridge that looks like transparent glass, and an abyss dozens of meters thick underneath.
"call--!"
When David Martinez stepped onto the transparent bridge that seemed to disappear at any time, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a moment. He was worried that his weight would crush this seemingly fragile bridge.
"Don't be so nervous. The material of this bridge is very special. It won't collapse easily. Even if a hundred of you jump on it at the same time, it won't be a problem."
Morgan Blackhand noticed David's nervousness, so he smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Ha! That's good."
David smiled slightly awkwardly, then couldn't help but look down. With his extraordinary visual ability, he roughly estimated that the bridge was at least 50 meters above the ground!
Such an exaggerated height would not necessarily kill his Astartes warriors, but it would definitely kill the accompanying engineering team.
"Keep moving forward and find the relics as soon as possible."
Following Morgan's order, the employees began to quicken their pace. Under the guidance of professional instruments and the prompts of clear 3D maps, they soon arrived at their destination.
When faced with the moment of uncovering the ultimate secret left behind by the Forerunner civilization, all the employees of the giant company stopped at the same time and handed over the decision-making power to their boss, Li Ang.
Only after receiving Leon's instructions for the next step can they move forward and take action.
At this moment, Le Ang, who was far away at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Base, when he saw the familiar scene before him, he already knew that the treasure of the Forerunner ruins left on the Star of Abundance was right in front of him!
As the heirs of the pioneers, there is a high probability that there are a large number of the pioneers' technological points or other knowledge in the relics of the preceding civilization.
Perhaps through this excavation, Leon still has hope of obtaining the think tank he has been longing for, and in that think tank, there may be the supreme skill from the "Halo" universe - [Neurophysics]!
The technological points and vast amounts of knowledge of the forerunner civilization are the "treasures" that Le Ang truly desires.
