Chapter 173 Error Reporting

The sight returns to the solar system again, to the ordinary planet Earth.

In Li Wenyuan's star map, this galaxy is the "solar system" and the only habitable star here is the "Earth".

But in the more common name of the Milky Way, the solar system is called the "mechanical core", and the earth and several surrounding planets are called the "custodial center".

Although Li Wenyuan opened most of the borders, only this place is permanently off-limits.

Galactic civilizations have more or less made guesses about this situation, and without exception they feel that this is the core star field of the "Guardians".

Their intelligence system cannot penetrate such a place at all, and the "Guardian" has always been a taciturn Lost Empire.

So until now, the situation in this galaxy has been the result of their speculation, and they have no idea that there is only one habitable planet in this galaxy that looks ordinary.

Li Wenyuan has been in this universe for a long time, and he has seen a lot of "rare planets". When he looked back at the earth, he found that the earth is really an ordinary planet.

Although it has traces of large-scale transformation, it has not actually reached the level of an "ideal city" where the entire planet's surface is covered by cities.

It is not the planet Gaia either. The lush vegetation is actually all synthetic plants, and there are no traces of animal life. The entire planet is actually a dead planet to a certain extent.

He was quite confused at first, but as the exploration went deeper and deeper, he more or less understood the situation.

The Earth exists as a "mother planet". Perhaps humans once had the idea of ​​​​completely "updating" it, but in the end the general appearance of the Earth was retained.

It may be because there are more suitable places to live in such as ring worlds, or it may simply be because they just want to retain the general "image" of the earth as their home planet.

They may have felt that they would never come back, so they interrupted the transformation process, kept it in mind as a "belief", and then left resolutely, leaving behind a "butler robot".

When dealing with this "mother star", humans have also left behind measures to prevent it from being "tarnished".

The "housekeeper robot", now the "custodial matrix" Li Wenyuan, is the biggest back-up man.

The "Guardianship Matrix" may have many real functions, but protecting the safety of the earth is definitely one of its functions, otherwise the main body would not be built on the earth.

As for if a worse situation occurs, humans, or perhaps the "Guardian Matrix" itself, adopt the last resort of "planet self-destruction".

There is indeed a special planet bomb somewhere in the core of the earth. It is part of the "planet self-destruction program". Its explosion is powerful enough to wipe out the entire solar system.

The memory of when he first came to this galaxy can be regarded as the dark history of Li Wenyuan. No one in the galaxy would have thought that the all-powerful "guardian" known as the "Guardian of the Galaxy" would actually have his family almost torn apart by a group of pirates.

of the past.

Perhaps if Li Wenyuan arrived a few dozen minutes later, what awaited him would be an exploded earth and fragments of the "Guardianship Matrix" that were not even space junk.

At this moment, Li Wenyuan, who once again turned his energy back to Earth, also began to think about his "first" experience in this universe.

"...Then, what exactly is 'I'?"

With this thought in mind, he controlled the synthetic man and came to the big light ball of his "Guardian Matrix" body.

At first, he thought that he was just a "traveler", just like those in those novels, just a "life background", and maybe he would never fill this hole again in the future.

But after seeing various "black technologies" in this universe, he felt that maybe he was not a "traveler", but an "unlucky guy hit by a meteorite" made up by someone.

Are those memories before the time travel real? With the digital consciousness, it is not difficult to add some unwarranted memories that are like personal experiences.

Could he just be a simulated personality of the "Guardian Matrix"? Those memories are just a means to keep the personality stable?

He rarely thinks deeply about this issue because he feels that as time goes by and the secret is revealed, he will gradually know everything.

Even if he is really just a simulated personality, he won't have many feelings.

Just like he once thought: Is the person who comes back from the dead still himself? Can memory determine a person's soul? Is digitizing consciousness the same as committing suicide?

And he chose to believe in himself and his current experience. Maybe the past memories were fabricated, but the current experience was something he experienced personally.

The matter of time travel is not that important. Why should we care about the ordinary past? It is better to live the magnificent present.

What he is thinking about now is just wondering why he became a "custodial matrix".

"...It's hard to understand that absolutely rational omnic thinking should be more suitable for 'guarding' this galaxy. What is the purpose of my existence?"

The controlled synthetic man moved away from the large light ball of the "Guardian Matrix" and continued to fly towards the next destination.

That's where the "Core Database" is located, the last unactivated complex on Earth.

He had a hunch that this would be a time of separation, and maybe after today, he would take another path.

The journey of thousands of kilometers seemed very short at the synthetic man's flying speed of dozens of times the speed of sound. After a while, the quaint building complex appeared in front of the synthetic man.

Like other buildings on Earth, although it is called "Core Database", it is not an individual building here.

In fact, this "core database" occupies a much smaller area than Li Wenyuan's own "general database", but there is an unknown order of magnitude difference in their energy requirements.

A large number of Dyson balls have caused Li Wenyuan's current energy output to explode every day, but he has also met the requirements for activating the "core database".

The energy supply lines here have long been repaired, and the energy of the Dyson sphere is running on this planet all the time. What is waiting now is just the final step of activation.

The synthesizer came here with the Zero gas. Just like when he first activated the "Level 4 Singularity", Zero was also needed here as the final activation procedure.

Everything seems to be back to the beginning. The "Level 4 Singularity" brought him the initial help, and the last building on the earth to be activated will bring him the final help.

Gas is spreading, the noise of large amounts of energy transmission is also heard from all over the earth, and huge amounts of energy are pouring into the "core database".

But Li Wenyuan discovered at this time that not all the energy poured into the "core database". The building actually had an "energy threshold" at this time, preventing too much energy from entering and exploding it.

"...Sure enough, the 'Core Database' only really needs this small amount of energy, and most of the rest is returned to the capacitor."

This matter did not exceed Li Wenyuan's expectations, because he had already checked the "core database" inside and out for such a long time.

The energy supply network of this building is not much, and it cannot transmit the astronomical amount of energy at all; and there is no container inside the building that is large enough to carry a large amount of energy.

He couldn't understand this at all in the early years, because according to the level of infrastructure construction of the "core database", only a "level four singularity" could maintain the energy supply.

However, the remarks about this building complex clearly state that it requires an incredible amount of energy, and there is also a link to detect energy output during its startup process.

For insurance reasons, he did not rush to deliver energy at that time.

After experiencing a long journey across the galaxy, he gradually guessed the reason why the "core database" needed to set such a high startup threshold.

Perhaps the "core database" itself does not require so much energy, but the secret behind it requires energy preparation in advance.

The ancient buildings are revitalized by energy transmission, and the old metal structures seem to be shining brightly at this time.

The earth is rotating, and the sun is rising slowly from the sky on a new day.

The last signal to be connected here finally returned to Li Wenyuan's arms again.

But he, who was silently looking at the familiar written records, did not look very happy at this time, because he knew that the results had not yet come out.

[...The core database has resumed operation and is connecting to the core database...]

Time passes by minute by minute, and the "connection" is always in the "waiting" state.

My imagination immediately connected, and the process of knowing a series of truths did not begin. Instead, the ominous premonition became heavier and heavier.

He felt that perhaps the first secret to be revealed was why the "core database" requires so much energy.

Finally, after the "waiting" blue progress bar went around and around, it got stuck in the middle position.

Everything seems to be calm again, as if the "core database" suddenly crashed.

But Li Wenyuan held his breath that did not exist, and those partial consciousnesses that were wandering around the galaxy with the help of scientific research spacecraft all returned to the earth at this time.

All scientific research spacecraft have entered automatic navigation mode and look the same as before. However, if things continue like this, it won't be long before galactic civilization discovers that the "Guardian" spacecraft seems to have lost its "spirituality."

But these things are not the most important, but the "core database" being started.

The string of characters displayed in the virtual world suddenly changed, and the seemingly regular text quickly turned into garbled characters.

The stable blue space seemed to be touched by something and turned into a constantly flashing red.

This scene is very familiar, just like when Li Wenyuan first came here, a large number of error reports accumulated in the entire virtual world.

He hasn't experienced anything like this for who knows how long. Other civilizations in the galaxy have not yet been able to cause him to make an "error report".

However, Li Wenyuan's consciousness did not fluctuate at all. He just looked at more and more error reports and grasped the key points.

【……】

A large number of error reports and inexplicable combat instructions suddenly spread to Li Wenyuan, or all intelligences under the control of the "Guardian Matrix".

Mechanical intelligence showed their disadvantage at this moment. Those warships did not think about why the "custody matrix" that was fine before suddenly went crazy and wanted to destroy the entire galaxy, and even himself.
