"——Emergency! The 'ghost signal' has been detected again and spreads on a large scale!"

A piece of news about the "Guardians" was picked up by layers of people, and was finally passed on to the senior leaders of each civilization.

There are quite a lot of introductions and evidence related to it, but in the end they all come to one meaning: there may be something wrong with the "Guardian" again.

The difference between organic life and mechanical intelligence makes it difficult for ordinary people to understand what will happen when the mechanical body is "sick", but it does not prevent them from enjoying it.

——For example, is it possible that after the mechanical body becomes "mentally ill", it will ignore all previous logic and start attacking indiscriminately?

This seems to be an "evil fall" that cannot be solved by spiritual means and cannot be "awakened" by words.

This is a materialistic problem of program errors. Perhaps only the best engineers, after overcoming all difficulties and dangers, can find a way to fix the code.

The reasons and speculations about the possible anomalies in the "Guardians" have always been the focus of secret investigations by various civilizations. Many scientists are already secretly studying the "Guardians" and the civilization that created the "Guardians".

Even if there had been no large-scale transmission of "ghost signals" in the Milky Way, galactic civilization would not have stopped exploring such a special lost empire.

They stated that unless the 'Guardians' sent warships to bomb their planet, they would never do anything that might be an enemy of the 'Guardians'.

"Are the cells that fill your barren brain tissue called discrimination, stereotypes, and self-judgment? Why do the Guardians have to go so far to destroy you? There are not enough of us in the entire galaxy to defeat you!"

Before the words could be finished, the entire "Xinghai Community" venue suddenly fell into silence. Even the representative who was speaking froze in place as if he had suddenly received some message.

But who can tell clearly about the passage of time?

The Fire Alliance was the first to express its opposition, and their words were very fierce, just like they used to do.

Such speculation is not groundless. Some "MythBusters" have also conducted experiments with certain artificial intelligence systems common to the Galaxy, and found that it does not even take as long as theoretically to cause an "artificial intelligence" to have problems.

Some representatives thought that the reasons were not sufficient and hoped that they could provide more evidence. However, the person who proposed the motion sneered and said nonsense:

After a while, the expressions on the faces of all the representatives present changed slightly. Then you looked at me and I looked at you. After confirming from their eyes that the other party also knew about this, they all looked at the person in the center of the venue in unison.

, the representative who was talking nonsense just now.

"...You also know that it is a variant of the 'ghost signal'. How can you be sure that it was sent by the 'Guardian'? Isn't it possible that it was deliberately sent by a certain civilization in the galaxy to cause chaos?"

The entire "Star Sea Community" collectively fell into silence, and every representative was thinking about the message just sent from the home star:

[It was discovered that "ghost signals" are spreading across the galaxy, and the source is...the Guardian! ]

Everyone originally thought that the previous special signal of unknown origin that was very similar to the "ghost signal" was actually the "ghost signal" of the "Guardian", but it had just changed a little.

[Social Experiment: The Great Tragedy]

[Introduction: Excellent tragedies can often resonate with living things. Through guidance, this emotional fluctuation may be transformed into the power of life to move forward. Tragedy is not only destruction and hatred, but also sacrifice and dedication. A great enough tragedy

Tragedy will sublimate life. If the impact is far-reaching enough, it is not impossible to reshape the collective spirit]

[Possible Technology: Social Stage Theory (Studyed)]

After that, he can also complete the "perfect ending", and releasing the "ghost signal" to find the "active purification protocol" is only the first step.

Although the proposal to designate "Guardians" as natural disasters seems to be very correct, there are still many sane and neutral people in the galaxy.

There are even vicious conspiracy theories speculating that it was the "Guardian" who destroyed his creator and is now just pretending to be kind.

The destructive power and infectivity of "ghost signals" are obvious to all. Everyone knows that this strange signal virus can theoretically infect any electronic device.

He hasn't figured out how to explain to Galaxy what this "Galaxy Exam" is yet to come. He can't tell them directly, "There was once a race called humans who thought you were too rubbish and set up such an exam."

Let’s test the progress of civilization. If you fail, go back to the aboriginal era and practice hard again.”

"I knew it! That mechanical intelligence definitely has no good intentions! Now its true colors have been revealed, right? I propose that the 'Guardian' be nominated as a 'natural disaster'! Otherwise, when it takes action, we will never have a chance again!"

But now, the real "ghost signals" seem to be starting to spread.

Although they know that the artificial intelligence of "Guardians" is definitely not comparable to that of popular products, their "experiments" may not necessarily be applicable to such cutting-edge intelligence as "Guardians".

The most widely circulated theory is that the "Guardian" gradually corrupted over a long period of time, and the accumulated errors in the mechanical intelligence reached its limit, causing the "Guardian" to develop abnormalities.

The representative was stunned for a while. After a while of hesitation, he returned to his seat without saying a word.

They all thought about one thing invariably: Is this a sign of the guardian's corruption, or is he stepping forward again?

[Technology level: 3]

"As you can see, the waveform of this signal is very similar to the 'ghost signal', and even the function and propagation speed are almost the same. Our scientists believe that the possibility of this being a 'ghost signal' is more than 80%, and it is very likely to be

A variant of 'Ghost Signal'..."

"That's what I'm saying. If this wasn't something done by the Guardians, I would have done it on the spot -"

Therefore, when signs of large-scale proliferation of "ghost signals" appeared again, almost everyone turned their attention to the "Guardians."

Compared with the "privacy" that may be spied on by him, the galactic crisis of the "Active Purification Protocol" is obviously more important. After all, in theory, the "Active Purification Protocol" is also artificial intelligence and is within the scope of the "Ghost Signal"

.

Those who are neutral have made it clear that they "need to talk about evidence" and they objectively do not support this issue.

Even if the "Guardians" don't seem to need this method to destroy them, they must still be responsible for themselves.

So the nominators began to boast and publish the information related to the "ghost signal" collected within the civilization:

A small number of them are extreme idealists with sincerity. This group of people regard all artificial intelligence as "blasphemy", even if the other person is a "guardian" who has saved the galaxy.

As for Li Wenyuan, who was at the center of the incident, he did not expect that the galactic civilization had compiled a complete and self-justifying background story for him.

Even if this speculation is baseless and many people scorn it, it still shows their attitude to some extent.

Li Wenyuan, who was still designing the script for "Story", was suddenly stunned because he received unexpected news.

"...At what point to make the action requires careful planning, and I don't know the 'active evolution protocol'... huh?"

This is the source of his idea. He can carefully design a "story" to ignite the determination of galactic civilization to advance. Even if only a few civilizations can achieve it, it is better than waiting for them to self-destruct and progress for a long time.

After all, the last time this happened, it was when something went wrong with the "Guardian".

In the "Star Ocean Community", there are some people who are extremely hostile to robots and artificial intelligence and have issued such a lawsuit.

However, a certain sociological technology on the technology tree gave him the idea of ​​using this "Galaxy Exam".

His idea of ​​using the "ghost signal" is very simple. Now that he cannot use the "observation terminal", he may be able to use the extremely strong diffusibility of the "ghost signal" to look for clues of the "active purification protocol".

The other part is those who have some plans. Their target is not the "Guardians", but other omnic civilizations in the galaxy. The "Guardians" are just an excuse to lead to their next proposal.

"...This signal seems to have the same origin as the 'Ghost Signal'... There should be no other civilization in the galaxy that can replicate this signal. It's probably because the 'Active Purification Protocol' didn't run away... It just came so fast? It seems like

It’s not the scheduled time yet, right?”

Li Wenyuan tentatively transmitted this signal into the core database, and then found that the countdown began to decrease rapidly, and soon there were only a few months left.

Even though it hasn't started yet, this anomaly clearly shows that this "ghost signal"-like signal is an advance warning of the "galactic civilization's stress resistance test" and also means that the "galactic crisis" is coming.

However, he was not panicked by this, but felt like he had been waiting for a long time.
