Chapter 215 Unexpected Enemy
When two kinds of "ghost signals" began to spread in the Milky Way, no matter how much the civilized government concealed it, the news about this "signal virus" was gradually becoming known to the public.
However, unlike some pessimists’ predictions that “end-time theory” is prevalent, most people maintain an attitude of watching the “ghost signal”.
After all, no matter how terrifying the signal virus is, it cannot infect living organisms, and it is far from causing the extinction of civilization.
However, for the omnic civilization and some civilizations that rely heavily on robots, the proliferation of "ghost signals" is a headache for them.
Mingbo technological dictatorship has been seriously affected by the "ghost signal".
This technology-oriented, materialistic civilization is just like the former "far traveler", the entire civilization is full of robots.
Since the civilized group is mainly engaged in scientific research, the basic production is basically undertaken by robots.
Not only that, but Mingbo's internal prosthetic body transformation is also very popular. Almost everyone has more or less prosthetic body tissue, and even some have transformed themselves to only 10% of their physical tissue.
This seemingly extreme behavior is not unacceptable in Minbone, their social concept is like this, and the body is not so important.
Even if there is only one brain left, as long as you can still think, there is no problem.
In this environment, a mad scientist who carried out "synthetic evolution" alone was born in Mingbo.
There are different opinions in the galaxy as to whether the scientist really transformed his consciousness into data and put it into a mechanical body, or just used an extremely realistic artificial intelligence to pretend to be "alive", and with his death in the In the hands of anti-virus software, it gradually became silent.
But it is undeniable that most people in Minbo are quite serious in their attitude towards science.
Before the "ghost signal" broke out, the Mingbo technological dictatorship had the most powerful scientific research capabilities in the ordinary civilization of today's galaxy. It directly replaced the robots produced at the grassroots level and the extensive use of prosthetic body enhancements allowed them to spare no effort in scientific research. make a contribution.
However, with the rapid spread of the "ghost signal", Ming Bo, who was caught off guard, suffered a big loss.
The firewall they are proud of is like a piece of paper. It can't stop the "ghost signal" at all. They can only watch those signal viruses swaggering in their data network.
For this reason, Ming Bo had to urgently cut off the network system of the entire civilization and use some very primitive means to communicate.
At the same time, some "quarantine" planets that do not use any electronic equipment are specially set up to deal with any suspected "infected" objects.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Ming Bo quickly identified which of the "ghost signals" that were raging in the galaxies under their rule was more "good" and which was very "dangerous"
The "ghost signal" that has been confirmed to come from the "guardian" belongs to the category of "goodness", which also made Mingbo's scientists a little relieved.
This kind of "ghost signal" does not show much destructive power, they are like conducting a "carpet scan", never letting go of any corner that can be touched.
Although it has "goodness" in the literal sense, due to the pervasive nature of this "ghost signal", even the "black curtain" that is inconvenient to show in some civilizations has been infected by it.
The higher-ups who are afraid that the news will be leaked, which will cause a huge blow to the entire civilization, will naturally not have much favor with this seemingly "good" ghost signal.
But unlike this "ghost signal" from the "guardian", another "ghost signal" of unknown origin is extremely dangerous.
This "ghost signal" of unknown origin seems to be full of chaos and disorder, which will cause major problems for all devices infected by it.
The most intuitive point is that the program defined as "artificial intelligence" will start to perform indiscriminate destruction.
Those infected programs are not as disorderly as imagined, on the contrary, they have an extremely clear purpose—to use all the resources they can use to destroy everyone, even themselves.
In addition to artificial intelligence, other devices that cannot perform "extinction" due to their functions will be self-paralyzed and cannot be used again.
Uncle Ming suffered a great loss because of this incident, and their robots began to be paralyzed in pieces, or a scene of "omninic crisis" was staged.
The people who used prosthetic bodies in large numbers lost their ability to work under the infection of the "ghost signal", and the entire civilization was almost paralyzed by the sudden "ghost signal".
It can be said that Mingbo is almost going to set the entire civilization back for decades because of the "ghost signal". Before the real "crisis" comes, this situation is enough to make them fall back to the natives in the crisis, or even perish.
In addition to Mingbo's civilization where prosthetic bodies and robots are rampant, the ordinary omnic civilization has also been greatly affected.
Almost all omnic sub-individuals will directly break away from the control of the center after being infected with the "ghost signal", and even try to infect their former control center in reverse.
However, the protection measures of the omnic civilization for its own "mechanical intelligence" are obviously much better than ordinary civilizations. After realizing the influence of the "ghost signal" on them, they quickly cut off a large number of "external nodes" located in other galaxies, forming A circle of "isolation zone".
This isolation zone prevents the "ghost signal" from spreading through more mechanical relay stations, and without a new "signal emission source", it is difficult for the ghost signal to pass through this "isolation zone" to infect the omnic civilization.
Although it is possible to not be affected by the "ghost signal" for the time being, the omnic civilization in this situation is like a "closed country", and it is difficult to show up in the sea of stars.
However, since the omnic civilization itself rarely communicates with other civilizations in the galaxy, their closed posture has not attracted much attention.
As for the remaining galactic civilizations, they generally haven’t changed much because of the “ghost signal”.
They are also studying the "ghost signal" very carefully, trying to prevent this "signal virus".
However, in view of the fact that this kind of "ghost signal" has limited damage to them, even the self-blocking method of creating a "quarantine area" can easily prevent the "ghost signal" from affecting them. These civilizations attach great importance to the "ghost signal" itself. Not much.
They paid more attention to the possibility behind this incident—what abnormality happened to the "Guardian"?
Such a large-scale "ghost signal" has never happened before, and they are sure that something must have happened inside the "Guardian".
Some people associate this incident with the long-extinct "Civilization Destroyer":
"... Is it possible that the mechanical intelligence of the 'Guardian' has made an error that we cannot understand, and he is turning towards 'extreme'. This time the 'ghost signal' is just a prelude..."
But this guess has not been approved by the majority, because judging from the ghost signal from the "Guardian", it seems that he still maintains a complete intelligence state and there is no problem.
So under various guesses, the time came several months later.
During this period of time, the "ghost signal" has shown a tendency to weaken. Whether it is the "ghost signal" of unknown origin or the ghost signal from the "Guardian", it seems that they have achieved a certain purpose, and it is difficult to detect in the galaxy.
Some galactic civilizations have even become accustomed to the existence of "ghost signals", such as the Mingbo technological dictatorship.
Because the "ghost signal" flooded in their civilization was too serious, their high-level civilization simply failed, and hurriedly informed the people that "the electronic blockade will no longer be implemented, and we will not be responsible for any mechanical injuries", and then ran to the "Galaxy Community". "Crying miserably, pull for interstellar assistance.
But the disappearance of the "ghost signal" did not let the galactic civilizations breathe a sigh of relief, but raised their hearts to their throats.
Everyone understands the truth of "the calm before the storm". The disappearance of this rampant "ghost signal" seems to mean that a bigger one is coming.
Finally, a series of familiar signal fluctuations covered the entire galaxy.
This signal is very familiar to them, because the former "Guardian" used this signal when solving the "Circle Crisis" and "Civilization Destroyer Crisis".
The content of the signal at that time made every intellectual life in the galaxy feel a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts. After all, there is nothing more reassuring than the "Guardian" taking the initiative to solve the "Galactic Crisis" destructively.
However, before they had time to be happy, after hearing the content of the signal clearly, each of them felt as cold as falling into a cold cave.
【…Please##…Please wait##…Please wait…】
【—Detected—An unexpected enemy—】
【"{Data Corruption}Matrix" starting...starting...starting...starting—process terminated】
【Backup protocol activated—active purification protocol has taken effect—】
【Warning: The Milky Way has been infected by an unknown civilization and the damage has reached a catastrophic level】
【-clean-purify-open-start-】
This string of signals seems to be exactly the same as the signal used by the "Guardian", but the content is not like what the "Guardian" known to all civilizations can say.
And the last "purification begins" flashes garbled characters from time to time, which doesn't sound like a good word.
On second thought, it sounds like they are a group of "galactic vermin" about to be purged by the "Guardians"?
"...Could it be that one of our guesses was correct? The 'Guardian'...has really been corrupted over a long period of time?"
"...No, absolutely impossible! The 'Guardian' is invincible, how could there be a problem because of the mere time!"
Many people responsible for receiving the signal couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe that the former "Guardian of the Galaxy" was "crazy" like this.
However, before they could get rid of the complex emotions of shock, panic, despair, etc., another signal that was exactly the same as it was detected by them almost at the same time.
This series of signals seems to belong to the "Guardian", and the content of the signals makes the already chaotic situation even more confusing.
【...An active "purification terminal" has been detected, and the "Guardian Protocol" has been activated...】
