The Legendary Mechanic

Central Star Sea, Star Abyss, Supervisor Headquarters of the Glorious Federation.

The role of the Ombudsman is different from that of a secret intelligence agency, a pancosmic public intelligence service that essentially does not involve a clear political rivalry among senior civilizations. The Ombudsman services of the three civilizations also act together most of the time to monitor and trace special phenomena, to prevent possible disasters and to stifle them in the budding period in a timely manner, with considerable competence.

At this very moment, in the Agency's headquarters conference room, a group of high-ranking people are sitting at the round table discussing the emergencies reported by the Ancient Star Monitor Division.

An outbreak of cosmic energy, which was always a super-line emergency, required high-level discussion.

“The report is detailed and the previous causes and consequences are clear. A scavenger dug up a safe of uncivilized civilization and released the source of the incident, which falls within category II of the accident. But when the team of monitors surveyed in the field, the ruins disappeared, suspecting it to be high-dimensional informational projection interference with reality… The most important question now is why they released something, why there was a cosmic energy eruption, and what the impact would be. ”

A sickly-looking human male opens his mouth, thin as a bamboo pole, pale purple skin with natural white lines, narrow eyes and crystalline yellow pupils.

Sidroon Purple Fire Connor, Chief Officer of the Glorious Federal Monitor Department, Super-A Seed, Top of the Natural Disaster Class, is a multi-ethnic hybrid with a predominantly Devini bloodline, a superior species of supernatural talent.

The Glorious Union itself is a multi-ethnic mixed community, of which mixed children are an important part.

Because of the beliefs, preferences, appearances and other factors of different races, racial issues have always been a shining endemic disease, but we are all used to it now, so it fits together, how can we get away with it?

“These archaeologies always learn no lesson.” Some people don't hesitate, "the famous cosmic catastrophe of history, organic extinction virus, sleeping collective consciousness distortion monsters, how many are caused by archaeology? ”

“Nor can we say that many of our early technologies stemmed from the inverse engineering of ancient civilizations, and that archaeology accounted for a small proportion of disasters compared to the uncontrolled use of advanced technologies, the outbreak of social contradictions and the invasion of foreign enemies.” Sid Rune was powerless to shake his head.

At this point, a senior reads past records and mutters: “In other words, high-dimensional informational interference was rare before, and it seems to have become more frequent since the adventure. ”

“According to the statistics of the Supervisor's predecessor, the average number of information state interferences occurring in the universe during the exploratory wars is 467 per year, which only counts the events discovered and documented. In the last 100 years, that number has risen 2150 times, nearly fivefold, and while there are reasons for our advances in detection, it is also true that the frequency of information interference has increased. ”

“Information dynamics have always been an important research direction for advanced civilizations, and we are only responsible for submitting reports, regardless of the specific scientific research that you say is the work of scientists, not our responsibility.” Sid Rune waved his hand and gave a flashy look.

Sitting in his position, it's understandable that the ombudsman department is responsible for wiping his ass everywhere, and he's at the top of the hierarchy, where he sees a bunch of incredible star citizens dying everyday, causing him trouble, like watching a bunch of bear kids mess around.

And no matter how he remedied, countless things would still erupt the next day. If you have a bad temper, you can experience the feeling of a heart explosion every day.

These days grow, people become Buddha and fish become salty.

In their limited understanding, this phenomenon is like a special mirage. The difference is that it is unrestricted in time and space and can interfere with reality.

Another high-rise orthogonal: “By comparison, the text of the uncivilized civilization submitted by the scavenger did not match the case in the database. If this is an informational projection, it originates either from an extremely ancient civilization or from a civilization that exists somewhere in the unexplored universe. ”

While the three civilizations are the worthy masters of the universe today, they are not omnipotent, they do not know what is in the ancient times, they do not know how many civilizations in the universe have not been explored, and they have not stopped exploring and studying.

“Did you notice any negative effects?” Sid Rune asked.

“Not yet. Details are still being thoroughly examined, and it is not possible to predict what type of disaster this is, or even whether it is a disaster. ”

Everyone shook their heads.

At this point, a voice suddenly sounded:

“This is a disaster in the virtual realm. ”

The central view of the round table suddenly turned into the face of the old wheat head.

Seeing this scene, the whole scene was loud.

“Machine Country McNesson!” Sid Rune's face is full of greenery. "How dare you hack into the network of official agencies! ”

The crowd in the room looked ugly, Manison had too many priors, all official agencies of the Glorious Federation were guarding the neighboring Mac like thieves, scared that their intelligence data would be stolen by the other party's slip lock.

There's a proverb in the universe that says well, you can't expect a virtual mechanic to be manipulative, they're like a chef in a casino, peeking at someone's bottom card is their nature.

“It's not the first time, surprised what.” Minnesota is calm, "I'm just here to provide information. ”

“I don't believe it!” Sid Rune bites his teeth.

You can knock on the door, you have to climb the window, you are seriously sending a communication application will die, we are not not not not not answering.

“It's faster, I don't like to wait.” Minnesota slows down: “And the disaster is fermenting, and every second it takes, it gets worse. ”

Rumor has it that Sid Rune temporarily pressed down the fire of green oil and frowned: "What have you found? ”

McNelson showed off the pieces of information he intercepted, explaining:

“Not long ago, a special packet invaded my sub-base, and after failing, I tried to destroy myself, and I intercepted part of it, and I saw its general structure, and I found out that it could be an unknown quantum network virus, and each packet was a source of contagion, constantly replicating itself, extremely disguised, permeable and contagious.

I tracked it down a little bit, and it's spreading rapidly in quantum networks in the Ancient Apocalypse, and it's probably infiltrated countless nodes, and counting the days, it's probably related to a cosmic energy outbreak from some time ago, so I came to let you know. ”

Looking at the information presented by Manison, the senior-level faces of the monitors present gradually grew condescending, believing this assertion.

“It's a new cybervirus in the virtual realm.” Sid Rune only has a headache. "Quantum networks are one of the cornerstones of the star community. This highly contagious virtual virus is the most troublesome. Without paying attention, it will turn into a cluster-level or even star-level communication paralysis, data leakage, intelligent loss of control... What exactly does this virus do? ”

“The virus is still in its latency phase, and once it erupts, it will rewrite the underlying logic of infected intelligence, enter kill instructions on life forms, and start a mechanical insurgency.” Minnesota calmed down and behaved in a question-and-answer manner.

The star community today, basically households, is inseparable from machines, and the consequences can be expected in the event of a mechanical rebellion at the star domain level or even at the cosmic level.

Sid Rune had a chill, and if Manison hadn't come to summon them, the longer they would have delayed, the worse the situation would have been, and possibly even shaken the foundations of the rule of the three civilizations.

With this in mind, Sid Rune's eyes softened a lot to Manison's.

- This ally is still pretty reliable when it doesn't work.

He stood up, faded away the saltfish halo, and the whole person got serious.

“It's a big deal, I have to report it to the President immediately! ”

……

Hours later, the leaders of all three civilizations received information and convened an emergency joint meeting.

“… that's how the Ancient Apocalypse is now an infected area of this new virus, with an increasing number of infected nodes every second. With regard to the name of this event, which I have named 'Smart Plague’, we need to take immediate action and not delay. ”

Badr said the situation over and over again, expressing his position.

The leader of the Spiritual Church shrugged his eyes and sighed: “Isolate the Ancient Desert. Before completely eliminating the virus, prohibit the Ancient Desert from interacting with external quantum networks, close the stargate, send fleets to the periphery of the Ancient Desert, and prevent any form of leakage of contagious sources. ”

“Agreed." Ulanrill nodded.

It's like a plague, only quarantine can wipe it out.

With the blockade of communications in a single star, only three civilizations of this magnitude possess such qualifications and capabilities, and three can enforce decrees if they reach a common intention, which is the supreme power conferred on them by the three civilized parliaments.

“Also, informing all levels of civilization in the Ancient Apocalypse of their full cooperation is an issue that must be addressed as soon as possible. ”

At this time, in order to reassure others, the three families will not take advantage of the ancient apocalyptic superstar group civilization, otherwise the next time a similar disaster occurs, they will not cooperate and will not lose money.

If the timing is delayed due to civil strife and the snowballs of such a catastrophe are generally enlarged, it will shake the foundations of order of the star international community and cause a major blow to the dominance of the three civilizations, which has been known for countless years, so the three families must not allow such results to reappear and lessons have been learned.

In the face of this catastrophe, the struggle of the three civilizations, which normally remains alive, will let go of the struggle for interests and work together for the time being.

"I suggest recruiting all the cosmic mechanics, especially the super A-level virtual mechanics who specialize in it, bringing in the armoury, the black stars, and working together to solve the problem," Ulanrill said slowly. ”

“Attached. ”

“Attached. ”

The other two nodded.

Since it is a disaster in the virtual realm, it is of course necessary to find experts to control it, and Megakuo and Black Star are the leading sheep among the virtual mechanics, and will naturally be captured by the three civilizations.

As for the origins, causes and principles of the disaster, when the problem is resolved, there will be sufficient time to look for clues.

Moreover, the three civilizations are very interested in the technology of this virtual virus.

If put in the past, this catastrophe would have left the star community busy, and perhaps order would have collapsed and turned into a sign of chaos. Yet after years of development of the three civilizations, the risks remain manageable as long as this catastrophe is detected, and all three leaders are at this time in shock.

The only hidden danger that the three of them are worried about is the volatile civilian forces, such as the black market, wanted criminals, rebels, etc., which, for whatever reason, can be tricky as long as someone keeps the virus privately.

Perhaps there will be more behind it… The three leaders looked at each other and saw the same worries.

……

The Black Star Cup has been in flames for two or three months, and Han Xiao has been resting for so long, spending so much time in a mechanical factory.

Originally intended to lay low for a year and a half, waiting for the three civilizations to take action against the Alliance of Superstars, but Han Xiao did not expect that the Empire would suddenly send him a mission invitation to run to the Ancient Star Desert to solve a virtual virus.

“To shut down the whole ancient desert, that virtual virus so powerful? ”

After reading the message from the Empire, Han Xiao revealed a strange colour.

In previous life, this event did not take place at all during the 4.0 period.

To be precise, the player has not experienced the "smart plague", which occurred during the Silver Revolutionary Army version update, and for the player, it is just a background story.

Han Xiao recalled that, although he had not experienced the incident and had not learned many details, he had seen a brief introduction to "Smart Plague”.

In previous generations, the process of resolving this scourge was difficult. The three civilizations wanted to clear all viruses in time, but errors occurred, leading to virus leakage, infecting multiple star domains, paralysing communications in a large number of regions and seriously disrupting the order of the star community.

The three civilizations devoted a great deal of resources to solve the disaster. Due to the massive energy constraints, coupled with the adverse influence of security, economics, politics, public opinion and other aspects, it happened that the silver revolutionary army of previous generations had exploded and enlarged, and was also an important factor in the success of silver leather.

Today, many years before the outbreak of the intelligent plague, the Silver Revolutionary Army has left no stone unturned, and obviously this opportunity has been missed forever.

“Is that my butterfly effect again..." Han Xiao touched his chin.

The message of the Empire contained the previous causes and consequences, which he had read over and understood in general.

The root cause of all this was the fact that he had dried up Golutan, causing the black market to enter a brief vacuum without leaning against the mountain, which led to the star thief. And the original buyer was surveyed by the three civilizations, seemingly just trying to collect an antique from an unknown civilization, so he indirectly opened the safe many years in advance.

I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster...

Han Xiao mumbled, intelligent plague is an indefinite bomb, detonated in this era, better than it erupted during the world tree war, but now the three major civilizations and superstars also have conflicts, may become the chips in the hands of the superstar alliance.

The situation in the universe would be completely different from that of previous generations if superstar civilizations were given the opportunity to breathe and really gain the upward channel they wanted.

“I don't know which side the era will eventually turn to...”

Han Xiao shook his head, pressed down his worries and remembered another thing:

“What a coincidence, this time I met a late version of the celebrity...”

Harrison et al. were also documented as diggers, and Han Xiao was pleased to meet this obvious protagonist, who was already counting on transplanting this unruly leek into his own vegetable grounds.

Needless to say, it can at least act as a mascot and boost the luck of the Legion.

“Philip, get back to the Empire. I accept the offer and I'll be there on time. ”

Determined, Han Xiao told Philip to reply.

He is naturally willing to contribute without wishing that the intelligent plague, like previous generations, consumes a great deal of energy already explored in the universe.

Don't ask. Ask is positive energy, not rushing to this virus technology! I'm not interested in it! Ollie, here!

“Tinker ~”

At this point, Han Xiao's panel suddenly popped up with a hint to trigger the task.
