"Don't let it get close!"
"It's coming! Shoot … Shoot! "
This was a circular passage made of metal, and there were hundreds of … microscopic creatures standing in the passage.
They were called 'Memory Keepers' because their memories were stored, and their actions and thoughts were controlled by their creations.
All the Memory Keepers kept shooting with the weapons in their hands because they were trying to stop a creature that was getting closer and closer to them …
Pompom.
When the rain of bullets hit the pom-poms, the pom-poms continued to float forward as if nothing had happened.
The pompom floated in front of a Memory Keeper that was shooting and reached out its fur to grab it.
This kind of creature … What exactly were they thinking?
Looking at the Memory Keeper who was struggling in the fluff, Lin ordered the pompom to slowly move another strand of fluff to the Memory Keeper's head. It penetrated the Memory Keeper's armor and penetrated its brain.
The Memory Keeper's armor … It should be called a shell, there was a layer of equipment outside the shell. Lin felt that the reason why they were not attacked by other creatures in the battlefield outside should be related to their shell. They might be using this shell to disguise themselves as a non-cellular creature.
In order to not be attacked in this place, the predators must think that they could not digest it.
Lin checked the Memory Keeper's … thoughts. It was also an individual with the memories of a commander, but in fact, it was not a commander, it was born here and then injected with the commander's memories.
Lin could see its birth memories, but it could not see it because these were all fragmented content … In fact, most creatures could not remember their birth memories, but they would still store some in their minds.
This Memory Keeper did not know that the intelligent machines were their creations, it thought that it was fighting something like a god.
So that's it.
Lin tossed it aside, then grabbed a few other Memory Keepers nearby and continued to examine them … Lin had already discovered their characteristics, those Memory Keepers who had truly been commanders. Usually, they would know that the intelligent machines were their creations, and they would fight with extreme 'regret'.
And those who were born here and injected with the commander's memories did not know the origin of the intelligent machines.
This was very interesting. They all had different ideas. However, they were able to cooperate very well … However, the main reason was that there was no communication between them at all.
None of the Memorybearers here could communicate with their companions. Their actions were completely carried out by AI machines that directly sent commands to them from their helmets.
None of them could discuss things with their companions …
Therefore, Lin wanted to find this intelligent machine and ask what was going on. Lin's pom-poms were now approaching its location.
Ten meters ahead of the passage, Lin could see that it was blocked by a large pile of metal parts. And behind this pile of metal parts was where the 'will' of the AI machine was.
There was still only a large number of Hidden Memories here to obstruct them, and they did not encounter any other attacks.
Therefore, Lin reached this place easily.
Tens of seconds later, the pompon floated to the front of the metal pile, leaving behind a pile of fallen Memory Beasts. Now, they had to figure out how to get past the metal pile.
Lin didn't want to use the explosive method, so Lin had the pompoms stick to the metal piles, then extended a large amount of fluff, slowly passing through the gaps between the parts to reach the target.
"You're trying to approach …"
In the process of slowly stretching. Lin suddenly received some … information.
If translated into a language that Lin was familiar with, it would be something like this: "Do not approach this place. Stop approaching this place."
Despite its words, Lin continued to approach it until the pompon's fluff reached the other side of the metal pile.
Lin saw a relatively large … … room. A spherical area with a diameter of about ten meters. In the centre of this area, she could see a pile of things.
The pile of things appeared to be small parts, piled up to a height of over one meter. But upon closer inspection … It was a pile of small machines that looked exactly like the Memorybearers.
Back then, the Memorybearers had created machines that looked exactly like them, then tried to transfer their consciousness into these machines.
Now, a large number of these machines were piled up here. Lin also noticed that the AI machine's consciousness was mainly within this pile of small machines.
This was quite a peculiar feeling. It was as though a large number of small machines were piled up together to form something similar to a brain.
[Stop approaching. Malicious target is approaching. Gathering weapons to attack.]
It continued to send out a large number of messages. As it sent out the messages, Lin noticed that a large number of Memorybearers had gathered in the tube where the pompon was.
"Can you understand?" At this time, Lin used the pompon's fluff to send out a message to the AI machine.
[Received question. Issued answer: You will be killed. I must kill you.] The AI machine quickly gave the pompon a clear answer. [Target is too close. Not suitable to kill directly. Priority to kill after fleeing.]
After that, Lin noticed that the small machines piled up in the room suddenly moved. The machines that were originally piled up together began to scatter and escape into the gaps in the metal wall.
This reminded Lin of the Creator's brain. Speaking of which, the Creator's brain could also scatter its brain cells to escape.
However, these small machines were too big, so they were much easier to catch than cells. With that thought in mind, Lin also let the fluffy balls fall off one by one. Then, they crawled like worms and chased in the direction of each of the small machines.
As she chased after them, Lin could clearly sense … … that each of the small machines had a bit of consciousness. Their consciousnesses were linked together to form the consciousness of the entire AI machine.
Moreover, this consciousness was mixed with many things. There were signals similar to brain waves and also dream energy. It seemed to be a consciousness that was mixed with many things.
No matter what, they had to catch them first.
Just like that, the fluffy ball of fluff quickly caught up with every escaping machine. Although these machines were very fast, they were still not as fast as the fluff.
However, in the process of constantly escaping, the Memory Keepers would help the machine escape. They would attack the fluff of the pom-poms to ensure the safety of the machine.
Lin noticed that the Memory Keeper didn't know that the small machine represented the consciousness of the entire AI machine, they only thought that they were doing a normal counterattack.
Lin felt that there might be a way to make this group of Memory Collectors … betray her.
Although Lin felt that there was no need to do so at the moment, she decided to capture this consciousness first.
And just like that, the process of capturing them proceeded slowly …
"I refuse to be captured. No. I refuse to get close. I refuse to retreat. I have to find a way out."
Right now, the capture process was almost at its end. In front of Lin was a miniature machine. It had already arrived at a corner and had nowhere to hide.
Lin had already found the rest of the escaping machines. She tied them up and brought them away from the spare parts battleship.
These little things were really good at running, especially this one … It had almost escaped with half of the battleship, and in the process of escaping, it kept gathering troops to attack.
But now … it's over.
At this thought, the fluff pounced on the defenseless machine in an instant.
Thereafter, just like how she treated the other machines, Lin brought it away from the battleship and back to the camp of the Void people.
After capturing this' consciousness', Lin could still see the spare parts battleship floating in the air as though it wasn't affected in any way.
However, the battleship that had been constantly sending out troops was now sending out fewer and fewer troops. In the end, all the troops it sent out had either returned or gone missing. The battleship no longer continued to attack the camp and became a piece of scrap metal floating in the air.
On the other side, Lin also ordered the Void people to stop attacking. At the same time, many of Lin's pom-poms were still in the battleship, observing and recording the situation inside.
Lin realized that the Memory Keepers in the battleship seemed to have turned into another form all of a sudden.
They no longer attacked the pom-poms, but ran around in the battleship as though they didn't know what to do.
That was because the AI machine had stopped sending them commands. Although Lin felt that they could still send commands even if they were brought away from the battleship, the commands had indeed stopped.
These Memory Keepers who had been controlled all this time seemed to have gained temporary freedom, but they didn't know what to do and couldn't communicate with their own kind.
While observing them, Lin also studied many parts of the battleship and found the battleship's energy room, engine room and other places.
However, Lin didn't find any … weapons.
This gave Lin an idea. It seemed that the AI machine didn't rely on weapons to suppress these Memory Keepers, but purely relied on the control of their minds and memories to control them.
So, they didn't need to create weapons?
That was a small possibility, but the main question would only be answered after asking it.
"Refuse to reveal any information. I want to kill you. I'll give you a choice: Be killed by me."
At present, these small machines were once again piled up by Lin and placed in a building in the camp of the Void people … but the AI machine's consciousness still refused to provide any information.
Lin felt that it might 'spill' if she interrogated it, so Lin brought some … creatures that could be interrogated.
These creatures usually said something like this: "Are you something that can be protected?" (~ ^ ~)
