Chapter 58: Vassals
The servitors of the Semi Federation began to show early warning signs of losing control. They no longer regarded the orders of their servers as their highest order, but instead regarded maintaining the physical health of organic life as their highest order.
Some people were vaguely aware of this change, but it was too late.
Now the entire civilization system is under the control of servitors, and the Semi people can't even ask for help from the outside world.
In addition to fearfully accepting the "service" of the servitors, they can only pray that someone will discover the abnormality here and lend a helping hand.
The number of spacecraft traveling between the home system and the ruins has begun to decrease significantly, and it seems that the transportation work is almost completed.
The control center of the servitors was also placed on one of the Sami home planets.
The logic of its behavior is approaching the extreme. Maybe it won't be long before a dangerous servitor civilization appears in the galaxy.
But today, a special scientific research spacecraft arrived here.
"...the Sami people's home galaxy is indeed quite special. Three civilizations were born at the same time. This is a much higher starting point than most civilizations that rush into space alone."
Li Wenyuan sighed, and then began to try to contact the Semi civilization.
Yes, here are the "Guardians" who decided to repair these out-of-control servitors.
The Semi Federation has waited for a powerful helper, but they don't know about it at this time, but they still live in fear under the care of the servitors.
But just when Li Wenyuan was still thinking about how to establish contact with the servitors, something unexpected happened.
[The lost "Paradise Servant" has been detected, and the guardianship agreement has been initiated]
[The connection has been reestablished with the "Paradise Servant", and the highest authority has been transferred to the guardianship matrix]
"..."
Li Wenyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that he would directly gain control of those servitors as soon as he entered this galaxy. This left him powerless to use some unconventional means.
"Huh? The signal sources of these servitors are pointed at you, and you control them?" Gray Wind also looked at the galaxy with curiosity, and then continued:
"How did you break through their firewall so quickly? I didn't even notice."
"Well... I didn't attack them. It should be some kind of protocol set up at the beginning of construction that led to the current situation."
In his virtual world, there is now an additional control panel called "Subordinate Sub-Center".
There is currently only one individual "Paradise Servant" in this "subordinate sub-center" interface, and Li Wenyuan only realized after taking actual control for a while that he had an additional "vassal".
The communication between mechanical signals is too obscure, but when translated into language, it is very easy to understand. The signal from the servitor control center conveys such a message:
"The connection has been reestablished with the Guardianship Matrix. According to the agreement, the 'Paradise Servant' will adjust the service objects. Please set a goal for us."
"Paradise Servitor" was previously an independent AI, but after reestablishing the connection with Li Wenyuan, it became a "sub-AI". Although it still controls the actions of the servitors, it needs to operate under the supervision of the guardianship matrix.
This kind of monitoring is built into the underlying code. The servitors are still nominally aimed at serving the organism, but there is a protocol that can directly override their behavior and set a new instruction at any time.
Li Wenyuan took a look and found that he could even let the servitors serve the synthesizers. This was almost contrary to their underlying code and would cause a great reduction in the efficiency of the servitors, but it was enough to show that he was currently on the "Paradise Servant".
How high is the control authority?
"So... the threat has been eliminated just like that?" He was still a little unbelievable now. He didn't expect that the robots left behind by humans who didn't know how long ago could still reconnect with him.
Doesn't this mean that if he finds similar "sub-AIs" elsewhere, he will have many more "vassals"?
These subordinate sub-centers also have powerful artificial intelligence and can maintain normal operation without his specific operations, forming a seemingly independent omnic civilization.
But probably no one would have thought that they were actually part of the "Mechanical Lost Empire".
This situation reminded Li Wenyuan of some special civilizations in the galaxy.
These civilizations showed extremely huge potential when they became prosperous, quickly established a foothold in the galaxy, and seized some of the voice from some established interstellar civilizations.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly abnormal for a civilization that has just entered the interstellar world. The old civilization is strong because neither its resource reserves nor its technological and military strength can be compared to the new civilization.
It is not difficult for an established civilization to crush a new civilization.
So when those old civilizations announced that the war had failed, it caused an uproar in the galaxy. Many people didn't understand why they lost to the new interstellar civilization.
However, as time goes by, the mystery is gradually revealed.
It turns out that those special new civilizations are actually vassals of the Lost Empire. They were inspired by the Lost Empire when they were still indigenous, and they moved up at a terrifying speed.
Although the Lost Empire will not pay too much attention to these vassals after they enter the interstellar world, the implicit help is still effective for these vassal civilizations.
"Farstrider" is a lost empire that occasionally promotes some natives. Now there are at least four or five all-powerful civilizations in the galaxy that belong to its vassal civilizations.
"Far Traveler" will not participate in the wars initiated by the vassal civilization against other civilizations, but will provide protection to the vassal civilization. In other words, when the vassal civilization is threatened with extinction from other civilizations, "Far Traveler" will participate in the war of the vassal civilization.
defensive war.
In other words, those who dare to attack its vassal civilization must be prepared to fight a lost empire.
This unequal situation of "I am only allowed to hit you, you are not allowed to hit me" undoubtedly makes many disgusted civilizations feel aggrieved, but this is how the Star Sea is, and there are always some lucky people who can eat food from their "ancestors"
benefits at almost no cost.
The only thing to blame is that they don't have a good "father".
However, something unexpected in the galaxy is that the Lost Empire, which seems to be the most friendly and enthusiastic "observer" of all civilizations, does not have any affiliated civilizations.
It will provide protection to interested natives, but will not do anything to promote them. Just like the name, it only likes to "observe".
In layman's terms, it means that "observers" cannot take care of children.
In the current galaxy, only the "Watchers" and "Farstriders" will take actions to improve the indigenous civilization. The "Observers" who cannot take care of children and the "Silent Ones" who are almost always in a closed state do not have any attachments.
civilization.
But probably soon, someone in the galaxy will know that the "Guardians" also have affiliated civilizations.
"...Do you need these servitors to serve your civilization?" Gray Wind also temporarily understood the situation of these servitors, and his expression changed slightly.
"My nanobots can do things better than theirs, don't you think about me?"
"No, no, no, it's weird no matter how you think about robots serving robots, right?" Li Wenyuan kept shaking his head and explained at the same time:
"And in my opinion, these servitors are not comprehensive enough. Although they are enough to serve organisms, they are not as easy to use as synthetic humans for me."
"...You're right, it doesn't feel as good as nanobots."
"Let's fix the code of the servitors first. As for where they should go from here, I'll think about it first..."
