Chapter 226 The Evolution of the Prophet!
The "Dream Thief" successfully returned to the material universe and docked in a secret dock on the far side of the moon.
When Zhao Gang, Shen Mo, and the others stepped out of the sensory chamber and stood on solid ground again, they still felt as if they had been in another world.
This expedition, although short in duration.
But the dangers and shocks they experienced were more than they had all experienced in their entire lives combined.
However, what they brought back was an even more precious victory.
A large number of "Star Debris Scavenger" warship wrecks have been towed to the Tyrant Fleet's engineering ships to the Starfire Laboratory's secret base on the moon.
Shen Mo and his group of research fanatics returned to the base.
Without even taking a sip of water, he plunged headfirst into analyzing these alien technologies.
However, a thorny problem soon presented itself to Su Chen and Shen Mo.
"No, it's completely incompatible!"
With two huge dark circles under his eyes, Shen Mo reported to Su Chen looking exhausted.
"Advisor, the technology tree of these 'Star Debris Scavengers' and the civilization that created the 'Prophet' have a fundamental conflict in their underlying logic."
"It's like... one runs on oil, and the other is charged by electricity; the parts are simply not interchangeable!"
Shen Mo explained, "The technology of the 'Prophet' leans more towards the application of higher-dimensional laws such as space, dimension, and information, resulting in precision and elegance."
"The technology of the 'Star Debris Scavengers' is full of simple and brutal energy applications and destructive logic, barbaric and direct."
"We tried to get 'Prophet' to directly analyze and absorb these technologies, but 'Prophet's' core modules strongly resisted this 'low-level' but 'aggressive' logic."
"Forced compatibility could very likely cause 'Prophet's' system to malfunction or even crash."
This is indeed a problem.
The "Prophet" is the foundation of Earth's technology and must not be lost.
However, the "scavenger" technology that was seized is exactly what Earth urgently needs right now, something that can be quickly converted into immediate combat power.
Giving up either side would be a huge loss.
Command Room
Su Chen looked at the two completely different technology tree models in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Compatibility...rejection...aggression...
One keyword after another collided in his mind.
Suddenly, an extremely bold, even crazy, idea formed in his mind.
Since they can't coexist peacefully, then... let them fight it out.
"Shen Mo,"
Su Chen raised her head and looked at him intently:
"What if we let the 'prophet' 'devour' instead of 'absorbing' it?"
"Devour?"
Shen Mo was stunned, not understanding what Su Chen meant.
"Activate the highest privileges of 'Prophet'."
Su Chen's voice turned cold and decisive:
"Integrate the main control AI core that we captured from the 'Scavenger' flagship into the 'Prophet's' virtual core space."
"I want them to wage a war on the data level!"
Shen Mo's expression changed instantly:
"Advisor! This is too risky!"
"The core of that 'Scavenger' AI is full of aggressive and viral logic. Once it enters the 'Prophet's' core space, it's like throwing a hungry shark into a swimming pool!"
"While the 'Prophet' is advanced, its core modules are 'observation' and 'calculation,' lacking a 'combat' setting! This makes it susceptible to corruption, even being devoured by it!"
"I'm going to use the aggressive logic of the 'Scavenger' to challenge the 'Prophet's' somewhat solidified 'Observer' module!" Su Chen's will was unquestionable.
"It needs to evolve, not remain a librarian who can only calculate and answer questions. This war is the catalyst for its evolution! I'll personally lead it."
Seeing Su Chen's resolute attitude, Shen Mo knew he couldn't dissuade her.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the team to execute this insane plan.
Soon, in a secluded virtual data space personally constructed by Su Chen's will, the cores of the two AIs were "deployed" into it.
Representing the "Prophet" is a perfect sphere radiating wisdom, composed of countless blue data streams.
The AI representing the "Scavenger" is an irregular polyhedron composed of chaotic, violent red code that is constantly twisting.
"The war begins."
With Su Chen's command, the data war erupted instantly!
The red "Scavenger" AI immediately displayed its astonishing aggressiveness.
Countless attack commands, filled with viruses and logical traps, rained down on the blue "Prophet" sphere like a storm.
Meanwhile, the "Prophet" constantly calculates, evades, and builds layers of firewalls in an attempt to defend against and analyze the opponent's attacks.
At first, the "prophet" was completely at a disadvantage.
Its firewall was repeatedly torn apart, and its core data flow was constantly compromised.
The entire blue sphere began to flicker, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Shen Mo and the others watching from outside were terrified and wanted to forcibly sever the connection several times.
"Stay calm."
Su Chen's voice was their only reassurance.
Su Chen's will was like that of a top-notch chess player, calmly observing the entire battle.
He did not directly intervene to help the "Prophet," but instead continuously guided the "Prophet" to analyze the opponent's attack patterns and understand the logic called "aggression."
After countless "deaths" and "reboots," the "Prophet's" fixed "Observer" module...
Finally, under the pressure of external forces, a crack began to appear.
It is no longer a passive defense.
It began to try... to fight back!
It used its computing power, which far exceeded that of its opponent, to predict the opponent's attack and set a logical trap in advance.
When the red "scavenger" AI pounced again, it was instantly caught in the trap, and the core code paused for a moment.
It's now!
"Devour it!"
Su Chen's will issued the command like thunder.
The blue "Prophet" sphere suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented light.
It no longer maintains a perfect sphere, but transforms into a giant web made of data.
It tightly wrapped up that red polyhedron!
"Ah—no—"
The "Scavenger" AI let out a silent scream as its code was forcibly decomposed, absorbed, and recombined.
Finally, when the light faded, only a completely new existence remained in the virtual space.
It was a blue sphere with faint dark red veins flowing across its surface.
It floated silently, exuding an aura that possessed both the wisdom and profundity of a "prophet," and a touch of the coldness and aggression of a "scavenger."
"Evolution... complete."
A brand new, slightly metallic voice resonated in everyone's minds.
"My Lord, the 'Prophet' has completed the 'Aggression' and 'Conquest' logic modules, increasing its computing power by 372%. Requesting... new instructions."
It worked!
Shen Mo and the others erupted in thunderous cheers.
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Chen's face.
And this is just the beginning.
"prophet,"
Su Chen issued new instructions:
"Reanalyzing the trace of laws belonging to a higher-dimensional civilization that I previously obtained from the 'Dream Beacon'."
"Yes, my lord. Analysis begins... Data comparison... Model building..."
The evolved "Prophet" has a surge in computing power, enabling it to comprehend higher-dimensional laws that were previously incomprehensible.
At this moment, it became clearly visible in its eyes.
Just minutes later, the "prophet" delivered an astonishing report.
"Reporting to my lord: According to the analysis, my creator civilization is not a single entity. Internally, it has split into at least two, or even more, major factions."
"My core code originates from the 'Observer' faction. The core philosophy of this faction is: record, observe, archive, and do not actively interfere with the natural evolution of the universe."
"And the underlying logic of the power of the Nightmare Ones and the Star Eater Cult is highly consistent with that of the Reaper faction."
The core tenet of this faction is: the universe is a pasture, all things are food, and the sole purpose is to promote its own evolution.
Observer! Reaper!
This astonishing secret caused everyone present to gasp in shock.
The Prophet continued, "According to my latest calculations, the Nightmare Ones and Star Eaters that the Reaper faction has deployed in the universe are not aimless plundering."
"They all seem to be searching for an ultimate goal known as the 'Heart of the Universe'."
"And certain characteristics of Earth, such as... the gestating 'Seed of the World,' have a 97.3% match with the description of the 'Heart of the Universe' in the database."
"Because the ultimate evolutionary form of the 'Seed of the World' is the 'Heart of the Universe'."
boom!
This final conclusion struck Su Chen's mind like a thunderbolt from the heavens.
That's it!
The reason why Earth attracts so much attention is not because it is weak.
On the contrary, it's because it... has unlimited potential!
It is that legendary treasure that can propel civilization to new heights... the ultimate treasure!
