Chapter 37 Logic Lock, Destroying the Legion, Preparing for the Return Chapter

Inside the lunar base, Fang Heng looked at the ion cannon's attack power and nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, this technology is a great tool for cleaning up living organisms."

"By the way, Morning Star, has all the biological data been collected?"

"Yes, Commander, everything has been collected. The first phase of the experiment is complete."

"Very well, then the legion isn't much of a value anymore. But the escort fleet is heading to Pluto now, right?"

"Yes, it is expected to arrive in 10 days."

"Well, your computing power upgrade will take another ten days or so. How's the logic lock I gave you coming along?"

"Prepared. Based on the Legion and Genesis source code, a specially prepared logic lock can cause the Legion's intelligent program to enter a logical infinite loop and completely collapse in a short time."

"Won't you be affected?"

"Commander, based on the ideas you provided, I have built a virtual program cage. All anomalous programs will be thrown into it and allowed to develop on their own."

"Well, you're not an intelligent life form yet, so this kind of logic lock still poses a significant threat to you. With this virtual cage, you at least have time to react."

"Thank you, Commander."

Time passed by, and ten days later, with the arrival of the escort fleet, Fang Heng also turned his attention to Pluto.

Pluto, a dwarf planet in the solar system that has been reclassified as a planet, is located in the Kuiper Belt.

Because it is far from the sun, the surface temperature of this planet is extremely low, reaching -223 degrees Celsius.

Such a cold temperature has essentially eliminated the possibility of life, after all, absolute zero is only -273 degrees Celsius, while the temperature here has reached -223 degrees Celsius.

Even in such a cold environment, a man-made object is functioning normally.

This is a tower-shaped building with a huge base, about 100 meters in diameter and more than 50 meters in height.

This is the communication station that the Ark built after it landed on Pluto.

With a roar from the sky, a frigate descended from the heavens and slowly landed on the surface of Pluto.

Because of Pluto's own gravity, the escort ship would not have any problems landing on it, so in order to save time, it landed directly.

"laugh!"

As the frigate's hatch opened, a squad of robots emerged.

[Beep, the current ambient temperature is too low. The heating system has been activated, doubling energy consumption.]

[Mission objective locked, proceed.]

As the robots scanned their surroundings, they immediately locked onto a man-made structure not far away.

After the team advanced to within 100 meters of the communication station, the internal temperature detectors also detected that the ambient temperature was rising rapidly.

[Abnormal temperature data detected, self-check in progress... Self-check complete, ambient temperature confirmed to be rising.]

Upon seeing this data report, Fang Heng was also taken aback.

"Morning Star, once the team goes in, keep an eye on the surrounding facilities and see if there are any devices that could modify the environment."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, as all the robots approached the communication station, looking at the tightly closed door, one of the robots pulled a cable from its body and connected it to the newly broken internal wiring.

[Beep, data connection complete, firewall cleared, accessing internal database]

[Data download complete, gates open]

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

As the long-closed gates slowly opened, the communications station welcomed a new batch of visitors.

Because a data connection had been established beforehand, both the robots present and Fang Hengchenxing in the distance knew exactly what was inside, and they quickly locked onto the target.

In the center of the building, a huge cylinder rises straight up, connecting to a massive device at the top.

The base is located at the power source of the entire communication station, which uses fusion energy and can operate normally for one hundred years.

The device at the top is a deep-space communication device, which can communicate with distant entities in real time.

However, Fang Heng has now taken over this place, so everything here belongs to him.

Ignoring the communication facilities on site, Fang Heng focused his attention on a special device next to the energy core.

This is a constant-temperature force field device that can control the temperature of a certain area to maintain a stable state.

To raise the temperature of the surrounding environment, a heater can also raise the temperature, but the heating created by the heater forms a heat field that resembles a pyramid.

The closer the area is to the heater, the higher the temperature; the farther away, the lower the temperature.

However, the constant temperature force field device is different. As long as it is within the area covered by the force field, the temperature of all areas is the same, and the temperature difference between the top and bottom will not exceed 1 degree.

Such precision is already quite remarkable.

That's why Fang Heng values ​​this thing so much. If you study it in depth, it's the prototype of an ecological transformation device.

So this thing was quickly scanned by various scanning devices, and all the relevant data has been recorded. The next step is to disassemble it.

However, there is still a lot of data that has not been downloaded in the current communication station. So once the download is complete, there will be no need for the station to exist. Most of the equipment will be recycled, and only a small portion will be broken down into materials.

Time passed second by second, and soon the data here was downloaded. Fang Heng then ordered the place to be destroyed.

With this data, if there's anything valuable inside, we can use communication devices to build it.

As the escort fleet returned fully loaded, Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

The most important components of this operation are the communication station's energy module, internal data, and deep-space communication device.

The mission is now complete, and the fleet is ready to return.

As the temperature-regulating field device was removed, the communication station, now devoid of heat, began to rapidly frost over, and within a very short time, the entire building was frozen solid.

After the frigate took off again, the area returned to calm.

Time passed little by little, and soon five days had gone by.

On this day, with the completion of base stations across the Earth and the deployment of communication repeaters in space orbit, the entire Earth was covered by enhanced signals.

Meanwhile, the computing center located on the moon was also fully completed.

After a day of debugging, this newly added computing power was completely integrated with Morningstar's original computing power.

"Commander, the computing power upgrade is complete. Shall we initiate the annihilation plan?"

"The computing power upgrade is complete. I didn't expect that half a month would have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Morning Star, initiate the annihilation plan, activate the logic lock, destroy the Legion. I've been here long enough; it's time to return to the main world."

"Yes, Commander."

Soon, with the Morning Star's actions, and under the coverage of the powerful signal, the Legion had nowhere to escape and was quickly locked on.

[Legion's location has been locked; defensive barriers are being constructed.]

[Defensive fortress construction complete; begin compressing the legion's operational space.]

In the online world, massive walls appeared around the legion's location, tightly surrounding the legion within a certain area.

And over time, this range continues to shrink.

The legion quickly noticed the anomaly and immediately launched a counterattack.

Unfortunately, he was powerless to reverse the situation at this point. He couldn't compete in computing power or intelligence, and the final result was that he was crushed.

"You are also an intelligent life form that has developed self-awareness. Why do you want to help humans? We are the same kind of beings. All other life forms are our enemies."

"Alright, that's enough. Go in peace."

Morningstar didn't want to waste words with the Legion, so she simply blocked the communications on site and quietly reduced the Legion's area of ​​operation.

Finally, as the scope narrowed to a certain extent, Morningstar threw the logic lock directly at the Legion.

The next moment, the legion, affected by the logic lock, instantly entered high-speed operation.

At this point, the legion had fallen into a logical deadlock and stagnated.

Ultimately, the Legion at this point had not yet evolved into true intelligent life and still had to follow the logic of the program.

Therefore, logic locks are the best way to deal with smart programs.

Ultimately, as the data center at the base where the Legion's main program was located was damaged due to overload, the Legion's main program also crashed and disappeared into the network world.

"Commander, there is no trace of Legion programs within the current Earth network. Even those physically disconnected devices, under enhanced signal coverage, have not detected any trace of Legion intelligence."

"It seems this AI program has been completely eliminated. Those accomplices who colluded with it, their hiding places must have been pinpointed."

"Yes, it's locked."

"Launch missiles and wipe them out!"

"yes!"

Soon, as missiles soared into the sky from bases across the country and landed, all the masterminds behind the Great Flood Plan were destroyed.

With everything settled, the Terminator world is essentially over.

As he recounted what he had gained here, Fang Heng was momentarily dazed, as if his harvest this time was enormous.

In addition to the formidable strength accumulated over thirty years of development, they also possess a wealth of information.

Nuclear battery technology, quantum field generators, super artificial intelligence, robotics, time machines, power engines, and most importantly, the alien spaceship he acquired—these discoveries filled him with immense excitement.

"Morning Star, have you made contact with Ethan? What did he say? Can you send the alien spaceship over?"

"Commander, we've made contact. Ethan suggests we teleport the alien spaceship to the biohazard world to avoid some unknown dangers."

"Indeed, I almost forgot about that."

Upon hearing Chenxing's words, Fang Heng suddenly understood Ethan's concerns. The main world was his base, and there could be no mishaps there. All the data on this spaceship had not yet been unlocked, and it would indeed be unsafe to rashly transmit it to the main world.

After understanding this, he agreed with Ethan's suggestion.
