From ship girl to machine god

Of course, in Liu Peiqiang's view, this kind of uncontrollability was directed at the crew members.

Both he and Han Duoduo had seen Jade Bird show off his skills on the space elevator and use his body to resist the gravity of the space elevator. Without the use of weapons, even if the entire investigation team of more than 700 people were tied together, it would not be enough for Jade Bird alone. call taxi.

This made Liu Peiqiang feel nervous. Things can still be stopped in this situation, but if someone incites the crew's emotions to do something to Jade Bird or cause trouble, then the situation may really turn into the worst situation. .

Thinking of this, he decided to go to his master Zhang Peng and ask Zhang Peng to ask the leader of the investigation team if he could plead with Jade Bird and handle the matter properly.

At the same time, he also said to Han Duoduo: "Duoduo, why don't you go find Chief Engineer Qing later and ask what's going on. I always feel that there should be some inside story here. Chief Engineer Qing is not like that. Unreasonable people.”

"I understand. I'll go find Chief Engineer Qing after dinner." Han Duoduo nodded. She also felt that there might be a misunderstanding about this matter.

Just when Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo were planning to find Qingniao to find out what was going on and find someone to intercede, the leadership of the investigation team also gathered for a small meeting to discuss what should be done about this matter. How to deal with it.

Because the identity of Blue Bird is top secret, not many people in the leadership of the investigation team know the truth. Only Zhang Peng, the leader of the flight team, and the leader of the scientific research team responsible for studying the core fragments of the mind know. Others only know about Blue Bird. He is the top person in charge and chief engineer of the investigation team and has the highest authority on this ship. Other than that, they know nothing.

And this also caused everyone to be very dissatisfied with Qade Bird when discussing this matter, and they didn't understand why she made such an excessive decision.

Some people even said that she should be deprived of her highest authority to prevent such a random fate from happening again.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Peng was in trouble and couldn't tell. Although he knew the true identity of Qingniao, considering the top secret level of the information, it was impossible for him to reveal Qingniao's identity here.

But if you don't say it, as he is just the leader of the flying team, he really has no say in the leadership.

It's okay to make suggestions, but it's not Zhang Peng's ability to influence the decisions made by the leadership.

However, he still planned to say something to avoid the worst outcome.

Fortunately, in addition to him, there was also the leader of the scientific research team studying the core fragments of the mind who knew the truth. The old scientist said: "The regulations and penalties were announced a long time ago. You didn't object at the time. Now that someone has violated the regulations, you are... Saying that someone has gone too far? Isn’t this a bit wrong?”

Chapter 34 Defense Mode

Facing the old scientist who pointed out that they had regarded the regulations as a joke beforehand, and later despised the issue that the punishment was too severe, everyone couldn't help but look a bit ugly on their faces.

In fact, for the older generation, this is indeed the truth. Rules are rules. People have put the rules here. If you don’t object when others set the rules, and now someone breaks the rules and says the rules are wrong, then What else are they called rules?

In particular, they are not a civilian organization, but a joint government investigation team composed of military elites and scientific researchers from various countries. They are a team with dual official and military backgrounds. The rules can only be stricter than other places, not lax. .

In fact, the punishment given by Jade Bird is too exaggerated, and the person must be ejected directly from the airlock. This kind of treatment method is unacceptable to everyone, so it makes such a big fuss, otherwise this matter would just be This way, no one will have any objections.

"That being said, executing the crew members so directly is still a bit excessive. I think we can just lock up the crew members who violated the regulations and hand them over to the military court of the coalition government for trial when we return. Let's see. What is the final verdict?" The commanding officer, as the top military leader in the investigation team, put forward his opinion.

Although the military's top priority is military discipline, and in wartime situations like this are easy to kill, but in this situation, if you really want to deal with it this way, you really need to worry about the reaction of the members of the investigation team.

Regarding the commanding officer's view, after a discussion, most people felt that this was an acceptable solution.

After all, they are indeed the military, and they still violate regulations when it is expressly prohibited. This is intolerable to the military.

Although the treatment of Blue Bird was indeed excessive, in the military, serious treatment has never been a problem.

"Then let's go see Chief Engineer Qing and discuss with her how to handle this matter. If this situation continues, it will put unnecessary pressure on the psychology of the members of the investigation team, and it will also cause problems with the morale of the entire investigation team. "Another political cadre who was the leader of the investigation team spoke up and decided to do some ideological work on Jade Bird.

For political cadres from the Chinese military, dealing with this kind of problem is considered their professional counterpart, and they can be said to be experts.

However, when a group of people arrived in front of Jade Bird's captain's cabin, they found that the entire captain's cabin was sealed off, with only Tianji 0017 floating at the door, on guard in combat mode with its weapon system deployed.

This made everyone nervous. This was on a spaceship, and this spaceship was a battleship. The place where Qingniao lived could be said to be the safest and best captain's room on the entire battleship. It could be said that she The safety is absolutely no problem.

Especially since everyone has been to the captain's room before and seen the security settings of the captain's room itself, they don't think there is anything on this ship that can threaten the existence of the blue bird who lives in the captain's room.

But now, not only is the entire captain's room blocked, but Tianji 0017, who has a combat prosthetic body, has put on a fully armed fighting posture. Doesn't this mean that the safety of Jade Bird is threatened?

Who on this ship could threaten her?Who would threaten her?It’s enough to make one think too much.

"Tianji 0017, why are you on guard here? Has something happened to Chief Engineer Qing?" the commanding officer asked Tianji 0017. He was worried that someone would do something dangerous to Qingniao from time to time, which led to the current situation that looked tense. Tension.

However, Tianji 0017 did not answer this question, but said mechanically: "The defense mode has been activated, please do not enter the alert range."

"What's going on? Something happened to Chief Engineer Qing?" Everyone was talking for a while, and they really didn't know what was going on.

Zhang Peng, who came with him, seemed a little anxious and wanted to go to the call panel behind Tianji 0017 to call the blue bird in the captain's room. However, the moment he stepped into the cordon, Tianji 0017 Then he launched an attack on him. In less than a second, sixteen different weapons were pressed against various vital parts of Zhang Peng's body.

"No hostile behavior detected, retreat, otherwise you will be killed." Tianji 0017 seemed to give Zhang Peng a chance, but did not actually kill him. He loosened the weapon on Zhang Peng a little.

Zhang Peng also retreated very wisely and retreated outside the warning zone again.

"What the hell is going on? Are you serious?" Zhang Peng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He was really scared and broke into a cold sweat just now when he was hit by various weapons of Tianji 0017, because He could feel that those weapons were real and could kill him in an instant.

This situation obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Just when the group of people felt embarrassed, the old scientist suddenly said to Tianji 0017: "Query, defense mode startup log."

The old scientist has had some dealings with Tianji 0017 before and knows that in this mode, Tianji 0017 has shut down its logical thinking mode and will only execute orders in the most mechanical way.

Tianji 0017, who has a logical thinking mode, may be persuaded by words. After all, she will think and judge by herself, but if she executes the order in the most mechanical way, then there is no need for logic. She only needs to execute the most basic order, no One can interfere with her in other ways.

"Defense mode was activated 15 hours and 32 minutes ago. The initiator was Jade Bird, the person with the highest authority." Tianji 0017 responded to the old professor's words and spoke this piece of information in a mechanical voice.

"15 hours ago? Wasn't that when we just dealt with those American soldiers smoking cigarettes yesterday?" Zhang Peng reacted quickly, which undoubtedly deepened everyone's doubts.

After hearing this information, everyone also understood that Qingniao's alert posture was not because someone threatened Qingniao after the incident, but that after she made the decision to deal with it, she sealed the captain's room and closed the captain's room. She was locked in the captain's room, and Tianji 0017 also activated the defense mode and placed it at the door as General Iron to guard the door.

"There must be something wrong with Chief Engineer Qing, and it's related to those American soldiers who smoked. That's why she is in this state, and that's why the punishment of those American soldiers is so severe." The old scientist knows With the identity of Qingniao, he made the most likely inference.

Chapter 35 Emergency Plan

Since everyone could not see the blue bird, the previously discussed solution naturally could not be implemented. However, the atmosphere in the investigation team was tense at the moment but it was a problem that had to be solved. This undoubtedly made everyone feel extremely embarrassed.

In the end, the political cadres of the investigation team made a decision against all objections: "Before Chief Engineer Qing lifts the blockade of the captain's room, everything on the ship must remain as it is, and the command team must maintain the normal operation of the ship, and Send us out of the warp after the jump is complete.

As for the two American soldiers, no changes will be made to their punishment, at least until Chief Engineer Qing returns to normal. As for the morale issue on the ship, it is said that after inspection, it was found that these American soldiers intended to be on the ship. To cause damage, in order to avoid causing more damage, they were imprisoned and prepared to be executed. "

"Would this... be unfair?" Someone raised an objection, but they only considered whether it was unfair, rather than objecting to it.

"In special circumstances, the matter is urgent." The political cadre was very decisive at this time, and said very resolutely: "The most important person on this ship now is Chief Engineer Qing. If anything happens to her, we on this ship will all bear the responsibility." I can’t afford it, so now we must ensure the stability of this ship and prevent any problems!”

Regarding the decision made by the political cadres, everyone chose to agree after being silent for a while.

They all understand that this ship is still in subspace, and if something happens, everyone on the ship will be trapped here.

The only person on the ship who understands subspace and masters subspace jump technology is Blue Bird!

It's okay to say that she's fine. Even if something goes wrong, she can still bring everyone back.

But now Qingniao has appointed himself in the captain's room, and now all matters on the ship, big and small, have been handed over to the leadership of the investigation team.

Although they were managing these things before, in fact quite a lot of things on the ship were actually handled by Jade Bird and Dimensity 0017.

Now not only Jade Bird, but also Dimensity 0017 has stopped working. This has caused all kinds of things on the ship to pile up in front of the management. They must maintain stability and ensure that nothing happens to the ship.

So at this time, no matter whether we want to overturn the original decision made by Jade Bird, we can't move lightly now.

They had to wait until Jade Bird released the captain's room before they could readjust their decisions based on Jade Bird's reaction.

But now, they have only one choice, which is to maintain stability and wait for the Blue Bird to come out.

"But what if something happens to Chief Engineer Qing in the captain's room? Now the entire captain's room is closed, and we can't break through Tianji 0017's defense. What if something happens to Chief Engineer Qing in the captain's room? It's an accident, we have no way of knowing!" However, someone raised a new question at this time, that is, they were unable to confirm the status of Bluebird and when she would come out of the captain's room.

"Is there a way to bypass the defense of Tianji 0017? If it is just the blockade of the captain's room itself, I think the Marines should have a way to break through." The first thing that comes to the commanding officer's mind is to break through by force, but there is a big problem with this choice. The problem is that Tianji 0017's defense is really not something they can break through.

It was a combat prosthetic body made by Bluebird herself. It used a military-grade combat prosthetic body with the same technological level as her own. It was a monster that could kill an army's combined battalion head-on by a single creature!Moreover, the other party also has the highest authority on this ship, second only to the Blue Bird. Going to war with Tianji 0017 on this ship is tantamount to seeking death.

When the old scientist heard about the problem of bypassing Tianji 0017, he thought for a while and said: "Maybe it is possible, but I am not sure whether it is possible. Tianji 0017's current behavior mode is the most primitive mechanical response. If she changes to We may not have been able to do anything before the defense mode. At that time, she had enough logical thinking ability and lies could not deceive her.

But now with this mechanical response, we can consider using the authority in our hands to let her execute other instructions, which may allow her to be moved away. But the problem is that Chief Engineer Qing is the owner of the ship with the highest authority, Tianji. 0017 is another set of authorities independent of this ship, and we may not have enough authority to mobilize her. "

This question stumped everyone, because Dimensity 0017 is technically regarded as Jade Bird's personal assistant or her personal auxiliary machine, so others do not have any authority over Dimensity 0017 unless they obtain authorization from Jade Bird.

This is different from their permissions on the ship. The permissions on the ship are based on the fact that this voyage requires them to drive the ship and the permissions required to move on the ship. Therefore, everyone is registered on the ship of different levels when boarding the ship. Authority, even Tu Yaya's body was registered under the arrangement of Tianji 0017 after it was created.

So they have the authority over this ship, and even the command officer can try to open the blocked captain's room, because he can indeed take emergency measures in special circumstances, which is also allowed under the relevant rules. .

After all, this is a battleship. According to the operating logic of the military, when the superior officer is unable to take command, the deputy or lower-level officer will take over. If no one can take over, the person with the highest military rank will take over the command. permissions.

Therefore, they can use their authority to do things on the ship that are allowed within their authority. Although they are not sure whether they can open the captain's room, at least they can do so within the scope of their authority.

But the same cannot be said for Tianji 0017. They do not have the authority of Tianji 0017.

The reason why the old scientist was able to get Tianji 0017 to respond was because of the permissions that Jade Bird had set up when he asked Tianji 0017 to assist him in some scientific research, but it was limited to allowing Tianji 0017 to provide assistance.

The level of this authority is very low, and it is impossible to interfere with Tianji 0017's execution of defense orders.

And among everyone present, no one has higher authority.

However, Zhang Peng remembered something at this time, so he suggested to everyone: "When my apprentice Liu Peiqiang got married, didn't Chief Engineer Qing ask Tianji 0017 to help them? This authority should be taken away, right? Can they? Do something?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that this seemed feasible: "This seems to be really feasible, especially Comrade Han Duoduo's set of nano armor. The power of that thing might be able to directly open the captain's room. maybe?"

Chapter 36 Golden Eyes

In the corridor outside the captain's room, Han Duoduo was holding a weapon box in his hand, sweat dripping from his nervous forehead.

Although the programmable nano-armor she wore had a good self-cleaning function and was enough to absorb and break down all the sweat on her body, Han Duoduo still felt that the palms of her hands were damp at this moment.

Because she is now preparing to transfer Tianji 0017 and then forcefully break into Jade Bird's captain's room.

It's not enough if she doesn't come. Only she with nano armor on this ship has the ability to fight against Tianji 0017 who is fully armed. The others... Just ask an ordinary World War II infantry, how to do without heavy weapons? Destroy a Maus tank heading towards him at full speed?

Han Duoduo is still considered a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle now. Although it can't outperform a Rat, it can close the gap to some extent so that it won't even act as a stumbling block.

Others were equally prepared, except that they planned to open the captain's cabin by cutting bulkheads from the upper and lower decks, as well as other cabins around the captain's cabin.

For this battle plan, all capable crew members on the ship were mobilized, and they also carried all available weapons.

Liu Peiqiang was also among them. Although he was worried about Han Duoduo, he still held his weapon and stayed where he should be.

If the purpose of opening the captain's room can be achieved without conflict, that would naturally be the best. But if it cannot be done, then the worst plan can only be adopted.

Under such a premise, everyone is very nervous, because even if they don't know how strong Tianji 0017 is, they can still imagine the consequences of doing so.

Everyone involved in the operation may die. If Tianji 0017 says it can kill, then it will really kill. Machines have no emotions.

Even with Dimensity 0017's detection capabilities, it is possible that their current actions are all within Dimensity 0017's perception, that is, they have not shown any hostility and have been identified as friendly units. Otherwise, Dimensity 0017 is likely to have The killing begins.

It can be said that the investigation team has put everything on the table this time, and everything depends on whether Han Duoduo can make Tianji 0017 give way.

After taking a deep breath, Han Duoduo calmed down her nervousness, came to Tianji 0017, and said to her: "Tianji 0017, confirm the status of the person with the highest authority!"

"The person with the highest authority: Qingniao, is currently in a closed self-examination and sleeping. No one is allowed to disturb. The final order is to activate the defense mode." Tianji 0017 did not refuse Han Duoduo's order, but she did not act as she had imagined. Then go directly to the captain's room to check the blue bird's situation.

Seeing this situation, Han Duoduo knew that things were not developing towards the most ideal situation.

But before arriving, the leadership of the investigation team took various situations into consideration and made various plans.

For example, what should we do if Tianji 0017 does not respond at all, what should we do if Tianji 0017 responds but does not leave the captain's room, what should we do if Tianji 0017 leaves the captain's room but does not go far, etc. They have considered almost all kinds of situations. , and also specially asked Ma Zhao and Tu Hengyu, who are engaged in computer and digital life research, to help with logical calculations and test how a mechanical response program would deal with these problems.
