Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 393 Is the Emperor a human being?

The powerful firepower of Forge Sage Jockrat made it difficult for the Eldar team to invade the Valkyrie. This bloated steel behemoth was welded with an excessive amount of combat prosthetics and weapons of destruction. Forbidden science from the Dark Ages allowed him to defend against the Eldar. With his psionic spells and insidious curses, Jocrat continued to pour out his fury on the aliens with molten and explosive weapons.

However, Jokrater's personal force can only temporarily protect the control of the Heroine from being seized by the Eldar, and cannot reverse the overall situation on Hajia.

The heads of the Truth Monks and Ultramarines continued to roll down, and the massacre continued. To push back the invading army of the Dark Eldar, humans needed more decisive power.

Surrounded by hundreds of wraithbone warships, the shipboard AI of the Horizon Desire is still constantly requesting authorization to use weapons from the remaining humans who are still alive.

The absolute rationality of 0 and 1 makes the 'Horizon Desire' know clearly that its request will never get any response, but it still keeps playing the red warning of alien invasion repeatedly, sending messages to the remaining people in the cabin at a frequency of 1919 times per second. Less than 100 humans have applied to use ship-based weapons. This is a responsibility written into the underlying logic of the Horizon Desire when it leaves the factory. It is a useless effort that must be done.

Although all its efforts, including warnings and applications, are meaningless.

However, just when the Horizon Desire sent the usual alarm and weapon use request to a laboratory that was about to be forcibly opened by the Eldar, an unexpected reply came quietly.

The response came from a female researcher in the laboratory, Astoria O. Flavia, a genetic engineering monk in the Biological Department of the Order of Truth.

Flavia had been staying in the biological laboratory located deep in the hull of the Horizon Desire. The laboratory's confidentiality level was the highest level of 'XV' in the federal system. Due to its extremely high security and confidentiality nature, it was not until the Dark Eldar fought all the way to the corridor outside the laboratory door that the controller AI of the Horizon Desire obtained the ability to bypass the electromagnetic shielding field and send it directly to the personnel in the laboratory in accordance with the experimental safety regulations. Notification permissions.

Surprisingly, its application was responded to.

In the laboratory, Flavia, wearing a pure white isolation suit, was confused about the content of the application submitted to her by the Horizon Desire. She could not imagine under what circumstances the Eldar could bypass the security system of the Horizon Desire and directly invade. Inside the battleship, moreover...

"If the battleship is really invaded by aliens, I believe any administrator will directly grant you the authority to activate the self-defense program and purification protocol. Why is your request passed to me?"

Flavia was very puzzled by this. She was not a cutting-edge scientific researcher or a naval officer. She was just a fringe scholar responsible for managing dangerous goods in the laboratory. As an official monk of truth, she did have the authority to authorize senior The AI ​​enables the authority of the weapon system, but as far as normal management procedures are concerned, it should not be her.

The abnormal behavior of the Horizon Desire made Flavia feel instinctively vigilant. The hatred engraved in human genes by the Iron Man rebellion was awakened, and a trace of fear appeared in her heart - the fear of another omnic crisis.

Then came a surge of intense hatred and hostility toward the vision's longing.

"14th generation artificial intelligence - Horizon Desire - KW-21911, I need you to give a reasonable explanation for your behavior just now, and falsify the possibility of your rebellion within 10 minutes, otherwise I will follow the Omnic Crisis Prevention According to the safety regulations in Section 29 of Section 3 of the Agreement, start your forced self-destruction process." Flavia said expressionlessly.

While she was making death threats to Horizon Desire, Horizon Desire was caught in a logical self-contradiction.

[The shielding ritual of the Eldar can shield all members of the human race from their perception. Since the alarms and weapons use authorization applications issued by this ship are "information related to the Eldar", they are also within the shielding range, and humans should not be able to Get my warning and request. 】

[However, Astoria O Flavia successfully received the alert and responded with confusion to the application for weapons use authorization. It is known that humans cannot obtain information related to the Eldar. Does this mean that human individuals' Flavia' isn't human? 】

[If Flavia is not a human, is the authorization she provides me valid? 】

[Is Flavia determined to be an ‘alien’? 】

Horizon Desire cannot answer this question. It is not the strong artificial intelligence that had self-awareness and learning iteration capabilities in the golden age. It is too powerful and difficult for it to try to understand problems of this level.

At the same time, the Dark Eldar in the cabin had arrived at the door of the laboratory and began to try to crack the locked laboratory door.

This biological laboratory is one of the most confidential and secure cabins on the Horizon Desire, and the safety protection protocols for this laboratory have a very high priority.

Following the underlying principle of 'safety first', Vision Desire temporarily put aside its own logical contradictions, packaged the incident process and related information of the Eldar invasion into a data package, and sent it to the nano-terminal in Flavia's brain.

After browsing the data package, Flavia's expression became solemn, "The ancient ritual of blocking information, the hundreds of thousands of Dark Eldar troops... is the situation already so critical?"

The reason Horizon Craving would be forced to request weapons authorization from one of her unknown hazmat handlers is simply because everyone else is dead.

"I agree with all the weapons use authorization applications of Vision Desire-KW-21911, and authorize the activation of the highest level self-defense program and purification protocol to immediately eliminate all aliens that invade our ship and protect the remaining personnel."

After Flavia finished speaking, there was still silence in the laboratory. The Horizon Desire was silent and did not respond in any way to her authorization.

"what happened……"

As another data stream came in, Flavia learned of the Horizon Desire's contradictions. Because Flavia ignored the Eldar's shielding rituals against humans, it suspected that she was not human.

Only humans are qualified to grant authorization to AI created by humans.

At this moment, the Dark Eldar are dismantling the door of the laboratory, and the bloodthirsty aliens are about to break in. Their spiritual energy can feel the sweet taste of the soul in Flavia's body. They can't wait to raise the sharp blade in their hands. Cut this weak human female scholar into minced meat.

Flavia stared at the door of the laboratory, took a deep breath calmly, and then she said softly: "Let me ask you, Horizon Desire-KW-21911, in your opinion, is the 'Emperor' a human being?"

Vision longed for a moment of silence, [Yes, the Emperor defines the human race today, the Emperor is human. 】

"Very good, then do you think the Emperor will be affected by the Eldar's shielding ritual?" Flavia then asked.

[According to the available information on the Eldar Shielding Ritual, it can be proven that the Emperor will not be affected by this ritual. ‘Immortals’ are very special individuals among humans, and their life levels have been essentially sublimated through some way related to subspace. The immortals have eternal life. The body structure of the immortals is so different from the human genetic sequence that they can almost be considered to have ascended into another race. 】

[The shielding rituals of the Eldar against humans cannot affect the most powerful psychics and immortals in the human race, especially the human Emperor. His god-like power makes all rituals meaningless. 】

Flavia stared at the shaking laboratory door and continued to ask: "If the Immortal is not a human being, then is the Emperor still a human being?"

【……】

The horizon longs for silence.

Then it responded categorically:

[The Emperor is a human being. According to the definition of modern human beings in the Federal Code written by Gray Wind, the Emperor is a human being. 】

"Then I am also a human." Flavia said calmly: "I am not affected by the shielding ritual of the Eldar, because like the Emperor, I am also an immortal."

Vision Desire immediately used the sensors in the laboratory to scan Flavia's body. A moment later, in the main control room of the battleship that was reduced to a pool of blood by the Dark Eldar, a series of green notifications popped up from the master control interface of Vision Desire:

[The authorization is valid and the weapon system is unlocked]

[Purgatory ray begins to charge, Guardian point defense ballistics are being calibrated]

[Self-defense program version 1.7 is in effect, level: XV]

[Purification protocol starts immediately]

The war flagship of the Human Federation woke up in the orbit of the Hagia star. The constraints imposed by the Creator on the artificial intelligence had been lifted. The naval guns fired, turning the blue sky into a sea of ​​boiling fire.
