Chapter 267: Active Purification Agreement

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a chaotic sub-space, four things were floating.

One was an Al Planet full of mechanical traces, one was a super ring that was enough to frame a galaxy in the real universe, and the other was an artificial miracle Tiangang Battleship that was as big as the horizon.

Compared to these planet-sized objects, the last floating object was no different from dust.

It was a mechanical sphere with a radius of only a few dozen meters. There were cut wires around the sphere. It was obvious that it had been brought here by abnormal means.

It seemed out of place here, but what it represented was very high class.

This was the main body of the active purification agreement modified on the basis of Milky Way’s contingency agreement. It was a sphere that would emit strong light under a normal energy supply.

Li Wenyuan’s body was also a similar big light ball. It was hard to say what reference the administration matrix had made when it was created. According to his deduction, it might have been designed according to the image of the contingency agreement in hibernation.

After losing the energy supply, the active purification agreement was inevitably shut down. However, Li Wenyuan did not destroy this part of his body. He still had some things that he needed to know through the active purification agreement, which was related to the outside of the Milky Way.

After connecting his consciousness to the Tiangang Battleship in sub-space, Li Wenyuan began to analyze the data stored in the big ball.

The external database of the active purification agreement had been completely destroyed during the crisis war. However, for this kind of artificial intelligence, there was always a part of the top-secret data stored in the memory.

This part of the data was his goal. For this reason, at the last moment of the unexpected enemy crisis, he had the Tiangang Battleship secretly capture the core of the active purification agreement into sub-space.

Executing such a high-precision operation was very exhausting. If he was not careful, the thing he wanted to grab would be cut into two by the space.

However, after he experimented with stealing the superluminal suppressor in the CX-9881 galaxy using the same method, he gradually mastered the trick and successfully completed his goal in secret.

Now, after discovering that the encryption method of the active purification agreement was exactly the same as that of humans, Li Wenyuan quickly cracked the program and read the contents.

The information he obtained from the active purification agreement made Li Wenyuan feel a little incredulous.

He originally thought that the problem with the active purification agreement was due to a small error in the program that had accumulated over a long period of time, resulting in an unknown mutation, leading to the rebellion of the active purification agreement.

However, the contents of the log showed that the active purification agreement was not that intelligent in the beginning.

It was very likely that it was just a string of ordinary weak intelligence programs in the beginning. All its actions were under the supervision of the administration matrix, performing its duties coldly and reporting the results.

However, after the humans left and the agreement went into hibernation, a strange change happened.

Until the log reached 100000, no errors could be seen. However, when the log reached 100000, they suddenly appeared, and once they appeared, they were destructive.

He didn’t know if the administration matrix had discovered the abnormality of the active purification agreement at that time, but from the results of the custody agreement, it shouldn’t have.

The unheard-of Corrupted Intelligence virus bypassed the supervision of the administration matrix. Even human beings did not notice it and buried it in the active purification agreement

And the moment it took effect, it directly led to the distortion of the entire active purification agreement.” It drastically changed its underlying logic and directly dealt a heavy blow to the defenseless custody agreement.

This was very consistent with Li Wenyuan’s guess. Previously, he couldn’t figure out how the custody agreement that controlled the Tiangang Battleship could be so different from the active purification agreement that could only control the old fogey warships.

Now, it seemed that the real battle against the custody agreement was not only the things of mankind itself but also the civilization from outside the Milky Way.

The mysterious Corrupted Intelligence virus had directly replicated the technological level of the galaxy and carried out an unbelievable transformation on the target it infected.

According to the contents of the log, the active purification agreement did not have real intelligence. After all, with the custody agreement, there was no need for another mechanical intelligence to fight against it.

Perhaps the humans had considered this point and did not set up intelligence for the active purification agreement at all. They only arranged it as a module into the administration matrix.”

However, the Corrupted Intelligence virus seemed to have created a soul for the active purification agreement.

Li Wenyuan had a brief encounter with the active purification agreement before. Although it was fleeting, he could clearly feel that there was a budding consciousness under the shell of mechanical intelligence.

“It is unbelievable. Is this really a method created by the civilization that humans said was artificial intelligence technology is really not good enough?”

He was a little emotional, and then he thought of another possibility.

“Perhaps… Is it because the virus synchronized with the technology of humans, or rather, me, that it is able to do this?”

He was now extremely curious about the people outside the Milky Way, and he wanted to bring his family to the outside of the ATilky Way.

“But…I still have to make the necessary preparations…”

His gaze finally focused on the record of the Outer Stargate in the active purification agreement..
