Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 341 Freedom
The Queen of Thorin and her personal guards slowly approached from the deep space, waking up together with the scouts who came to the library civilization earlier in the positive feedback generated by mutual induction.

On Zuo Wu's side, Xiaohui's nanomachine cluster is pouring out from the compressed galaxy, weaving a line of defense at a distance of one-tenth of a light-year, like an endless insect net.

But this so-called "boundless" is still too thin compared to the vastness and depth of the universe. Zuo Wu can see that the emerald green swarm is getting bigger and bigger, it is like a celestial body wandering in the universe.

It is indeed a celestial body, and the swarms cross the cold and deep universe while embracing each other.

In the slumber, the swarm of swarms used their tough carapaces to withstand the gravitational force caused by the huge scale; the queen was guarded in the center of the spheroid, enjoying the warmest place where the body temperature of all the swarms was concentrated. .

The insect swarms are highly compressed into spheres, and the celestial bodies they form may not be as large as planets, but if they cross the defense line laid by Zuo Wu, the extreme distance of [-] light-year will wake up from the slumber and release this highly compressed state if;
Even Xiao Hui didn't have much confidence to completely intercept them.

Therefore, Zuo Wu is also constantly advancing the line of defense. The farther away from the limit of "[-] light-year", the lower the Queen's level of awakening will be, and the less likely the swarm will let go of each other in advance. The embrace of each other has become an unstoppable wave.

Zuo Wu wants to prevent the approach of the celestial body of the swarm, and try to prevent the process of the Queen's awakening as much as possible;
Jinmian's task has also become clear, which is to find a way to reduce the vitality and vitality of all the swarms on the home planet of the library civilization, so as to minimize the resonance between these "scouts" on the ground and the queen.

On the same ground and in space, whether it is the Sorin protozoa or the Zuowu Jinmian, the actions of each other are affecting each other.

Jin Mian only felt a little cold in his heart, because the perpetual protozoa seemed to be getting smarter as the Queen approached.

The perpetual protozoa actually knew how to temporarily usurp the control of the survivors' bodies, and induced the management AI whose responsibility was to upload the survivors' consciousness, and then sent their consciousness to the chip and the server of the library.

The behavior of the protozoa is also quite confusing, because they do not kill the host.

The survivors who were recruited will only feel that they have come to a strange place after a sudden trance; they will find that the management AI that has completed the task no longer pays attention to themselves, and the bugs in their heads no longer move. When they are happy, they don’t know It was the protozoan who replaced his consciousness uploading place.

As a result, the elders and Wolfe, who were already resistant to management AI, did not notice any abnormalities at all, and they would not receive reports of population decline—as for the trance of the recruited people, they would not be alerted, and everyone was thinking about it. Insects have entered, and there is no problem with any abnormal behavior.

Fortunately, all of this was detected by the fleet borrowed by Jinmian, but the problem was also here. Miss Orc was limited by the fact that the instructions left by Xiao Hui were too abstract, so she didn't know how to use the fleet to solve this situation.

Zuo Wu and Xiao Hui themselves couldn't be contacted for a while.

Jin Mian could only grit her teeth, turned her head, and pulled out Wolfe's collar. The blue light around her made her face uncertain: "Tell me again, if your consciousness is uploaded, Where will it be uploaded?!"

Wolff was stunned: "The management AI will be automatically reviewed, and the intelligent consciousness will enter the library's server; and the relatively clumsy ones... will be loaded into the chip, and the chip will wait to be loaded outside. In the mechanical body."

"Ha, what's the difference between stupid and smart?"

The confusion on Wolfe's face deepened: "...I'm not a management AI, how do I know? Miss Jinmian, why do you ask this?"

The orc lady stopped talking nonsense, and pressed Wolfe's transparent forehead, disturbing the bugs inside, and pointed at a survivor who was being taken away by the management AI when he bared his teeth.

After the survivor's consciousness was uploaded but climbed up unharmed, but the worm in his forehead lost its activity, Wolfe suddenly understood everything.

His tone was a little trembling: "Wait, is the protozoa uploaded instead of us?"

"If you know it, tell me quickly, and you can guess. What is the standard for your management AI to distinguish between stupid and smart?"

Wolfe exhaled, began to clenched his fists, his mind was spinning rapidly, and the parasitic worms in it began to writhe excitedly.

"I... Our ancestors once considered the possibility of our intelligence degeneration in the future, so the uploading standard was set very broadly. This should be the reason why the consciousness of bugs can also be uploaded,"

He finally came up with a possibility:
"Before that, this library was a forbidden area for everyone. It has been a long time since no one set foot in it, and no one has uploaded consciousness for a long time... Remember what I said? Only the management AI in the library will always try to induce People go into those tin cans..."

"So, I think that as long as it is higher than the average intelligence of all the uploaded samples within a period of time, it will be judged as intelligent and will be transmitted to the central server of the library..."

Jinmian pursed her lips.

As the queen approached, the perpetual swarm became more and more intelligent; in other words, the longer the time dragged on, the more swarm consciousness entered the core of the library server.

Sooner or later, the entire library will be filled to the brim with the consciousness of the Zerg—the knowledge in the library is set to be read only by those whose consciousness has been uploaded, and then all the majestic knowledge contained in it will be retrieved. Forest protozoa steal.

There must be knowledge that neither I nor my compatriots have mastered yet.

Wolf understands this. He no longer needs Jin Mian's reminder, and he can see the figures of those compatriots who were suddenly taken away by the management AI in a trance.

The number is increasing, and it is getting bigger and bigger; if the management AI is conscious, it must be cheering at this moment, and the AI ​​​​must never imagine that its work can be so smooth.

And Wolfe's expression is also becoming more and more distorted, but it reflects his own powerlessness in the distortion; Wolfe can only exhale, trying to make himself look calm, but he doesn't know that all efforts to manage his expression have achieved counterproductive results.

He wanted to turn his head around and continue to ask Jin Mian for his opinion.

Unexpectedly, Levina pinched her nose first, and said to him with disgust as if she smelled something:
"Wow, who are you showing this expression to? The property of your library ancestors was stolen by the Zerg, and you are starting to feel distressed? Please take back the expression. You are not ashamed, but I am ashamed."

Wolf froze: "Miss Levina, why do you say that...we are also victims..."

"Ha, because even the Zerg know that for the sake of knowledge and the queen of the sky, they don't hesitate to give up their bodies, their lives, and upload their consciousness,"

Levina sneered:
"But some people are so hypocritical, leaving such a magnificent legacy of their ancestors in vain and disregarding it; if your whole family uploaded it earlier and gained enough knowledge, how could you leave an empty server today for the Zerg to Take an opportunity?"

did not expect.

Or the elder suddenly stood up, pressed his uncontrollably shaking head, his old eyes almost burst into flames: "This is the difference between us and bugs! No one has the right to ask others to sacrifice for themselves. !"

The sneer on Levina's face became even more wanton: "Then you are such a big civilization, can't you find a group of people who are willing to dedicate themselves and sacrifice themselves for others? Or are you all born selfish?"

"On the contrary, only a selfish person would think so, and would feel at ease with the sacrifice of others!"

The elder almost roared angrily:

"No, as long as it is a living being, it will have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages to ensure survival, so there will be no voluntary sacrifices in this world at all! And the victims are either moral kidnapping from society, or coercion from others! "

"Only by eliminating any individual in the society from sacrificing for any reason, can we be a truly civilized society, completely free from barbarism!"

He was so eloquent that Levina clicked her tongue: "Ha, so it's okay for parents to sacrifice for their children?"

The elder grinned, as if he had won the debate:
"The feeling of licking the calf, sacrificing for the child, is just an emotion produced by genes in order to perpetuate themselves;"

"As a civilization, we should have transcended the emotions brought about by genes, and overcome the barbarism with rationality."

"The so-called feeling of licking the calf is undoubtedly a kind of 'barbarism'. Having such emotions only shows that everyone is still a slave to the genes, and is not truly free and civilized at all! And if an individual has any need to sacrifice for the child, or Feeling the slightest bit of worry about raising a child can only show the incompetence of the society and the incompetence of the government!"

The sneer on Levina's face gradually faded away, she disdain to show emotion to anyone she looked down on: "Up to now, you are really incompetent."

However, Jin Mian knew that the quarrel was meaningless. Right now, he urgently needed to find out how to use Gray Gu. Maybe the knowledge stored in the library would be useful:

"...You guys, haven't you ever thought of using some auxiliary creations to put them in the brain to interpret the library's mere?"

The elder turned his head slowly: "Child, what do you think our consciousness and soul are? Is it a glass of water, or a glass filled with water?"

"Neither, the essence of us as human beings is the ripples produced by the specific container holding the specific water, which are just ripples, continuous, so fragile, beautiful, and unique;"

"Any change in the container and water, or any break in the continuum, will change the ripples, and we will cease to be ourselves;"

"What's the point of all this if the knowledge thus gained doesn't benefit us?"
