Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration-Chapter 39
Chapter 39
“Welcome back, pioneer of mankind.”
The translated content of the mysterious signal made Li Wenyuan slightly surprised.
Judging from the source, the signal came from the unremarkable little tree.
However, the content of the letter undoubtedly ignited Li Wenyuan’s curiosity.
Ever since he had transmigrated, he had never seen any other civilizations mention the existence of ‘humans’.
This made him wonder if human history had already disappeared into the Milky Way, leaving behind only various ancient ruins.
However, the unknown life form before him directly called him the pioneer of mankind. Other than curiosity, he was also filled with deep doubts and vigilance.
He had never revealed his consciousness, so why was he considered a human?
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Li Wenyuan decided to continue acting as an artificial intelligence.
He used the same signal to reply,
“Keyword detected: ‘human’. The administration matrix has taken over the system.
“The diplomatic agreement has been initiated. The conversation window will last for 360 seconds.
“Please state your purpose.”
Hearing such a strange answer, the other party obviously had a considerable degree of doubt, so much so that he did not give an answer for a long time.
Li Wenyuan sent a second message after 60 seconds.
“Remaining time for the conversation window to close: 300 seconds.
“According to the loss monitoring protocol, the monitoring array will carry out an ‘affinity’ judgment after the conversation window is closed, and the ‘enemy’ will be on alert.
“Please state your purpose.”
The urgency of the countdown and the mechanical sense in his words also made him fall into deep thought.
Finally, when Li Wenyuan was about to send a third message, he received a question.
“Can we first know what your relationship with humans is?”
Hearing this answer, Li Wenyuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his artificial intelligence act had successfully separated him from humans. In this case, he should be able to use this advantage to obtain more information in the next conversation.
Moreover, from the tone of the other party, it didn’t seem to be hostile to humans. In fact, it even had a certain degree of reverence. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been unwilling to speak when Li Wenyuan didn’t act like a human. It seemed that it didn’t want to reveal any information about humans.
He continued to answer mechanically, “The administration matrix is responsible for maintaining the normal operations of the lost planet.”
Now that he had successfully deceived the other party, he had to act as if he had a very close relationship with humans. This would make it easier for the other party to open up.
As expected, the mysterious being relaxed a lot after that. In order not to waste the remaining time of the conversation window, even the frequency of the signal transmission was increased a lot.
“I’m Bao, or rather, we are Bao. In human language, this word means ‘the secret of life’.”
“We’re similar to a beehive-like civilization. Every individual on this planet is a part of this massive mind, including various animals, plants, fungi, and even… Inorganic matters.
“Death doesn’t exist here, because our consciousness is already intertwined. The death of the organic body only allows life to live in another way, and the inorganic body will also carry our consciousness.”
The information sent by Bao made Li Wenyuan a little confused, but on the surface, he still maintained the usual silence of artificial intelligence.
“And because of that, we recorded a story from the distant past.
“That was at least ten million cycles ago.
“At that time, we had not yet developed consciousness. The planet was still in hazy chaos, and all life was fighting for survival.
“But a pioneer came here and ended it all.
“He ‘dissolved’ himself into the earth here, and his nerves have evolved into the roots that now cover the earth.
“Such a complicated structure gave us consciousness and made us understand that fighting is meaningless.
“So, we abandoned all our previous grudges and transformed this place into what we wanted.
“Right now, we’re trying our best to let the ocean integrate into our consciousness. I believe that day won’t be too far away.
“And through the tracing of our history, we have learned part of the knowledge of that pioneer.
We don’t know his specific name, but we know that he calls himself ‘human’.
“We’ve always remembered the kindness of the pioneer, and that’s why we want to try to revive his consciousness.
“The ‘statue’ you saw before is the body we created for him, waiting for his return.
After listening to the long story, Li Wenyuan understood where they came from and found clues about the ‘pioneer of mankind’.
However, there was no evidence to prove this, so Li Wenyuan put a question mark on the file that he used to record information about humans.
Now, he had two questions left. First, he wanted to know how Bao determined that he was a human.
He had a digitized consciousness, and he did not bring any synthetic humanoids with him.
Without even confirming his appearance, the being named Bao had called him the pioneer of mankind.
It couldn’t be a coincidence, right?
Second, what did the humans leave behind for him?
He had come here according to the ancient star map he had dug up from the ruins. He thought that there would be a dangerous ruin for him to explore, but now it was likely that there was a planet with consciousness in front of him.
Then what was he here for? Was it to listen to Bao’s story?
Li Wenyuan felt that it was possible. After all, Bao’s story was indeed bizarre. He could even feel that the number of sociology research samples in the scientific research zone was increasing rapidly.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Li Wenyuan used the tone unique to artificial intelligence to ask,
“According to the lost custody agreement, the administration matrix needs to terminate all investigations of human civilization and take in the lost human technology.
“How does the Bao Civilization conduct human investigations?
“Does the Bao Civilization have the relevant technology?
“Please give your answer.
The cold tone sounded very unkind, but it was a normal way of saying things for the ‘lost artificial intelligence’.
Bao seemed to be used to this kind of question, so he explained,
“In our long lives, we are very sensitive to the aura of the ‘passage of time’.
“In space, we can’t directly judge who is a human and where there are humans.
“However, as time passed, the ‘ancient’ aura of humans should be quite obvious. Even the other ancient ones are too young compared to him.
“It’s because you and humans are from the same era. It’s this aura that made us misjudge you as a human.
“But in fact, we have no way to investigate the civilization of mankind. Do you understand if I put it this way?”
Who would understand what you’re saying?
Li Wenyuan really wanted to say that, but he still needed to maintain the indifference of ‘artificial intelligence’ and couldn’t be so reckless.
Furthermore, he had a faint feeling that this might be another form of idealistic power.
Then, Bao lived up to his expectations and contributed the Technology that might have been left behind by humans.
“The pioneer didn’t leave anything behind, but we believe that he came here to enlighten us so that we can complete something.
“In the past, we couldn’t understand the pioneer’s thoughts. However, after meeting you this time, we believe that we have found our mission.”
As he spoke, a large number of more complicated signals were sent to the research spaceship from all over the planet.
At this moment, it was as if every individual on the planet had preserved a fragment of knowledge. Through this method of concentration, Li Wenyuan was finally able to obtain some kind of result.
[ New technology has been added to the technology tree ]
This magical method made Li Wenyuan sigh with emotion. At the same time, he opened the technology tree interface in the database.
In the gray row of Level 8 Technology, other than the Tiangang Battleship and warp drive, there was a new technology.
[ Bao – Gaia Seeder ]
[ Technology level: 8 ]
[ Introduction: Through the theory and technology shared by this beehive-like civilization, we may be able to transform a planet into a special planet that can perfectly accept any species, and all life can live here in peace. We call this Planet Gaia ]
[ Possible technology: Creation theory (0%) ]
Li Wenyuan carefully observed this technology and found that the resources required to transform the planet with this technology were not high, but the transformation time was relatively long. Depending on the size and environment of the planet, the shortest would be ten years, and the longest would be a hundred years.
“Although it’s not very useful to me now, it’s still a Level 8 technology. Maybe it’ll be useful in the future?”
He temporarily believed in Bao’s words. After all, Bao had been friendly and had never shown any hostility from the beginning.
However, he still classified this galaxy as a major galaxy. There were still many secrets on this planet, and he was prepared to explore them when he had better strength and detection methods.
So he took control of the research spaceship and left after leaving this message:
“The conversation window is closed.
“According to the lost custody agreement, the affinity level of the Bao Civilization is as follows: Friendly.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
After he left, the planet that Bao was on once again fell into silence.
The fallen pirate spaceship was no longer emitting smoke, but its original owner was also in a desperate situation.
The two pirates were embedded in a tree and seemed to have become one with the tree.
The branches here were shaking slowly, sending out a weak signal.
“Analyzing the nervous system of these extraterrestrials may help us understand the secrets of our bodies. It should also be beneficial in restoring the consciousness of the pioneer.”
“In that case, will there still be outsiders?”
