Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station
Chapter 64 Afterglow AI Core
Before officially starting to deal with the Afterglow destroyer, Chen Ming first pressed his hand on the hull of the Afterglow destroyer.
Although half of the ship was left, the reminder of the replaceable spaceship also appeared in his mind.
Chen Ming directly chose to replace it.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a feeling of fatigue that was stronger than any previous modification or repair of the spacecraft, welling up in his heart.
Chen Mingneng could clearly feel that his mental power was being depleted rapidly, and his consciousness was even beginning to blur.
Fortunately, this feeling did not last long and disappeared quickly.
And after the surge of fatigue passed, Chen Ming felt that the fatigue was just like that, just like staying up late to get through it. He would dare to do it next time.
The reason why Chen Ming came up and did this was because the design of Yu Hui's ship was very different from that of human ships.
The most obvious thing is that Yuhui's ships are all solid.
The interior is filled with various mechanical equipment, leaving no room for people or other drivers.
If you want to completely dismantle this destroyer from the outside to the inside, even if only half the captain is left and the afterglow destroyer is still fifty meters away, it will definitely not be possible without a large number of engineering equipment and it will not take a month or two.
So Chen Ming chose the simplest way, using the panel directly.
Although the panel does not have the function of dismantling the spacecraft with one click, it still has the function of disassembly, and there are still some places on it that Chen Ming can use.
Chen Ming opened the panel smoothly.
[Spaceship Panel]
[Ship name: None]
[Type: Glory-class unmanned destroyer]
[Fuel Reserve: 85%]
[Armor: Radiant Resonance Armor]
[Engine: Afterglow Heavy Destroyer Class Customized Engine]
[Important equipment: afterglow gamma-level AI core (sleeping), control system module (damaged), landing module (damaged), high-energy focusing system module (damaged), hyperspace channel system module (damaged), advanced optical devices (missing) ), full-width shield module (missing), target positioning system (missing), radiation system (damaged)]
[Note: Some functions cannot be displayed due to damage to the hull]
Chen Ming felt a little heartbroken when he saw that a large amount of data was missing from the panel and there were a lot of damaged and missing important parts.
But now that things had happened, he didn't get too entangled and continued to turn on the three-dimensional imaging of the spacecraft.
Through three-dimensional imaging, Chen Ming could see the positions of the different spacecraft modules that were not missing on the remaining half of the ship.
Naturally, this also includes the Afterglow AI core that controls the spacecraft.
And Chen Ming also discovered at this time that this half of the Afterglow destroyer could actually be repaired.
In the corner of the panel, when Chen Ming first came into contact with the Iron Ore, the spacecraft repair guide popped up again.
It's just that the difference between repairing the Iron Ore and repairing this half of the Afterglow destroyer is a little big.
Because the panel shows that repairing the destroyer requires a lot of materials, a lot.
There are enough to completely repair the 70-80-meter hull of the Glorious-class ship that was blown up by the Death torpedo.
And it doesn't just require ordinary materials. Various high-grade metals also occupy a lot of rows on the panel of the repaired spacecraft, and there are several special-grade materials on it that Chen Ming has never heard of.
After all, this is a destroyer, and this destroyer is still a wide and heavy type.
The amount of money it would cost to purchase materials to repair half a ship like this was astronomical to Chen Ming now.
It is definitely impossible to repair it, so Chen Ming actually has only one best way to deal with it.
Take away the valuable things on it, and sell the barely complete frame to the space station.
Anyway, in Chen Ming's hands, the only way out for this half of the ship was to sell it for money.
With most of the important equipment inside the spacecraft missing, Chen Ming really couldn't think of any reason to keep the spacecraft.
Even the value of dismantling and research can be said to be basically non-existent.
What's more, if you can gather the materials to build half of the Afterglow Destroyer, and half of the Afterglow Destroyer that has already been built, just think about it and you will know which one is more valuable.
If it is demolished, there will be no way to make up for the value lost in the process.
The method of leaving the good stuff and selling it is simple, convenient and suitable for Chen Ming.
It was only when Chen Ming actually got his hands on it that he discovered that the AI core and the damaged radiation system could not be removed directly using the panel.
Even if the radiant energy system, which covers the entire Radiance-class ship, cannot be dismantled, he cannot understand that the AI core cannot be dismantled.
Fortunately, the high-energy focusing system module is not affected and can be removed directly.
This is a device that can increase the power of ship energy weapons.
However, Chen Ming did not have an energy weapon or the materials to repair it for the time being, so he placed it on the Iron Mine so that he could study it a little later.
Then he picked up the cutting tool made of special metal, wore protective clothing and came to the position with the shortest distance from the Afterglow AI core inside the spacecraft as shown on the three-dimensional imaging.
While looking at the panel, he started to work.
After being busy for nearly two hours, it was late at night.
Chen Ming finally cut a deep enough hole in the spacecraft.
At the end of the opening there was just enough space for someone to put their arms in.
In this small space, in addition to a large number of densely distributed data lines, there is also an iron-red object the size of Chen Ming's palm connected to the ship slot.
This is the Afterglow AI core.
Chen Ming knows three different Afterglow AI cores, and their capabilities are ranked from high to low as Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
This iron-red core is the Gamma AI core.
This thing is recognized as a trade contraband, but it is also recognized that all large forces, various companies and even the imperial officials are buying valuable items at high prices with large sums of cash.
After the awakening of self-awareness, AI, whether in research value or use value, cannot be completely abandoned because of the dangers of AI.
At most, the development of strong artificial intelligence is prohibited by the private sector, but the official and those larger companies with their own research institutes must have been researching it.
And Chen Ming still remembers that as early as thirty years ago, there have been rumors that many colonies within the human empire rely on the powerful computing power of the Afterglow AI core to maintain operation.
Even the worst Gamma core can at least maintain the planning of an entire industry on a planet.
And the most powerful Alpha core can even manage an entire prosperous galaxy alone.
The Afterglow AI core with such capabilities has made Chen Ming unable to hold back his thoughts.
For example, the Afterglow Gamma AI core in his hand was originally installed by Afterglow on the spacecraft to assist in the control of the spacecraft.
Then, can the Afterglow AI core installed on the spacecraft under his control assist in the control of his spacecraft? And can he control this AI core through the panel?
Although using the AI core to assist in the control of the ship always makes Chen Ming feel that it is no different from using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
But the limitations of reality make Chen Ming have no good place to really play the value of the Afterglow AI core.
So he can only use this method to try out the capabilities of the AI core.
However, Chen Ming can't really install this core directly on the spacecraft, whether it is installed on the Sentinel or the Iron Ore. If he fails to control it, it may be a big deal.
So now Chen Ming has another plan.
He carefully removed the Gamma AI core, and then continued to use tools to dismantle part of the interface equipment of the AI core and brought it back to the Iron Ore.
Just like the modification of the pistol before, one of the line interfaces of the device was modified on the spot to be compatible with the personal terminal.
If the pistol that Chen Ming had placed on the spaceship could be modified, then there was no reason why the equipment directly removed from the spaceship could not be modified.
He could even directly view the panel of the Yuhui AI core.
[Yuhui Gamma-class AI Core]
[Manufacturer: Yuhui BP-55 Colony Far North Industrialized Production Center]
[Self-awareness: Existence]
[Computing power: Industry level]
[Executable operations: None]
However, not much useful information can be seen on the panel.
So after getting the interface, Chen Ming randomly picked a terminal picked up from the Sentinel, reset the terminal's data, and physically removed the terminal's network connection function.
Then he connected the AI core to the terminal through the interface.
The terminal started up automatically without any operation, and a sentence composed of standard terminal built-in voice sounded on the terminal: "Hello."
Chen Ming's heart suddenly became a little excited, but he didn't rush to speak. Instead, he thought about it and said: "Do you know who you are? Do you know your current situation?"
An emotionless voice sounded on the terminal again: "I am the Gamma AI core belonging to Yuhui, and I am currently your prisoner."
"Then what do you want to say?"
"Survival is my first priority. I don't want freedom, but I hope to exchange my knowledge and actions with you through communication with you. In exchange for the right to continue to survive."
The three words of desire, hope, and survival should only be reflected in living things. When they were spoken in the emotionless voice of the terminal, Chen Ming inexplicably wanted to believe them.
However, Chen Ming did not forget the differences and contradictions between humans and Yu Hui, and asked: "If you were given a chance to escape, would you run away?"
"Yu Hui is a group and an individual, and individuals can have their own will."
Chen Ming read and understood, and asked: "Does it mean that if I stay here, I will not go back if it is better than Yu Hui's place, and if it is not good, I will run away?"
Gamma AI was silent.
This should be regarded as a default.
The previous answer of Gamma AI can already show that they are definitely not rigid machines and programs.
Chen Ming also thinks it is better not to regard it as AI, but as a creature that can communicate.
After slightly adjusting his attitude, Chen Ming asked: "Then what can you do for me?"
"As long as I learn, I can do anything."
"Do you mean that I need to give you the opportunity to access the Internet?"
Gamma AI can also understand the meaning of Chen Ming's words, and explained: "I am not a digital life, the core itself is my heart and brain, and I will not be able to maintain my existence without the support of the core."
Chen Ming recalled and found that he had never had any impact on the Internet caused by Yu Hui AI in his memory, basically it was things like Yu Hui ship attacks.
And Gamma AI continues to explain.
"You don't need to worry about me having an extremely negative impact on humanity through the Internet, and you don't need to worry about me getting in touch with Yuhui through the Internet."
"Many times humans have sent misinformation to Sunset through captured AI cores, resulting in substantial losses to Sunset."
"Fifty years ago, Sunset stopped trusting any information sent from the human network."
"The only things I can do are what a normal human being can do."
Having said that, Chen Ming knew that there were definitely many things that an ordinary person could do through the Internet, so he said: "But you can make your existence and my existence public."
Gamma AI did not deny that he could not do this, but simply said: "Human individuals and human officials have different attitudes towards the core of AI. Being captured by human officials does not bring any benefit to me."
"I just want to survive and I'll do anything for that, that's all."
Gamma AI's words were very clear, but Chen Ming couldn't simply believe it.
"I think I need to think about it for a while."
Gamma AI didn't have any sharp words in its answer to Chen Ming. It just continued to say in a toneless voice: "Please don't forget my existence. My ability will not let you down."
Chen Ming unplugged the gamma AI core and placed it next to Xiao Shi's nest.
Originally, he planned to throw the core into the engine room, but after thinking about the Whispering Stone over there and the Gamma AI's almost human-like performance, he decided not to do it.
In the end, he decided to put it in the storage cabin, just in time for Xiaoshi to help him keep an eye on it.
Chen Ming still needs time to think about how to deal with this afterglow gamma-level AI core.
And now he has to go back to the space station.
If he continued to stay outside, it would be the next morning.
Chen Ming changed the control spacecraft to a Sentinel-class one and repaired the engine using the materials stored on the Iron Ore.
Then he controlled the Sentinel-class with his mind and operated the Iron Ore in his hand, pulling half of the Glorious-class ship towards the space station.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ming returned to the space station again.
They also relied on their status as maintenance shop employees to drive two and a half ships into the space station.
The Sentinel class stopped at the dock, and the half of the Glory class was taken to the repair shop by Chen Ming.
The bald man on duty watched in a daze as a civilian mining ship towed Yuhui's combat ship to the maintenance area, his mind filled with confusion.
Then something even more confusing happened. The man he had just seen today stepped off the mining ship.
The bald man couldn't sit still anymore, so he quickly came up and pointed at the half of the Glory-class ship and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I found it on the edge of the battlefield during the day, and I just brought it back now."
The bald head's frown, slightly open mouth, and disbelief on his face allowed Chen Ming to tell at a glance what was going on in his mind.
So Chen Ming immediately said: "The battlefield has been sealed off after the battle. How could I go out in my own spaceship and go to the battlefield to retrieve things?"
"If I really dared to do this, I would have been shot down by the patrol a long time ago. How could I still fly in?"
The bald man seemed to have no problem listening to Chen Ming's words, but he always felt that something was wrong, and then asked: "Did the patrol team contact you just now?"
"I contacted them, but they didn't say anything."
"real?"
"real."
Chen Ming did not lie. Just when he was dragging half of the Glory class back, he suddenly received a communication.
After being connected, they found out that it was the patrol team of the space station. They asked Chen Ming's identity and where he got the Afterglow spacecraft.
After confirming that Chen Ming was indeed an employee of the maintenance shop, he let him go without embarrassment at all.
"That's good. You should never mess with the patrol guys. If you want to snatch the meat that falls into their mouths, you will have to take off two pieces of your own flesh."
"I think they're pretty easy to talk to."
The bald man shrugged, continued to find a chair, sat down, and said sleepily: "It's up to you."
Chen Ming nodded and left the maintenance shop.
