Chapter 198: Wrong Report (2)

He had a premonition that that would be a time of separation. Perhaps after today, he would walk on another path.
The distance of several thousand kilometers seemed very short under the speed of the synthetic humanoid’s flight, which was ten times the speed of sound. In a short while, the ancient building complex appeared in front of the synthetic humanoid.
Like other buildings on Earth, although it was called the ’core database,’ it was not an individual building.
In fact, that ‘core database’ was much smaller than Li Wenyuan’s own ‘general database,’ but their energy requirements were several levels apart.
A large number of Dyson spheres had caused Li Wenyuan’s energy output to explode every day, but it had also met the requirements to activate the ‘core database.’
The power supply line there had long been repaired, and the energy source of the Dyson spheres was running on that planet all the time. Now, they were only waiting for the last step of activation.
The synthetic humanoid brought the Czero gas to that place. Just like when he first activated the ’Level 4 singular point,’ Czero was also required as the final activation procedure.
Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning. The ‘Level 4 singular point’ had brought him the initial help, and the last building on Earth to be activated would bring him the final help.
Gas was spreading, and the noise of a large amount of energy transmission was also heard all over Earth. A huge amount of energy was flowing into the ‘core database.’
However, Li Wenyuan realized that the energy did not all flow into the ‘core database.’ The building had an ‘energy threshold’ at that time, preventing too much energy from entering and exploding it.
“…As expected, the ‘core database’ only needed a small amount of energy. Most of the rest went back to the condensers.”
That matter did not exceed Li Wenyuan’s expectations. After such a long time, he had already checked the ‘core database’ inside and out.
The building did not have many energy supply networks, so it was impossible for the astronomical amount of energy to be transmitted. The interior of the building did not have a vessel that could hold a large amount of energy.
He couldn’t understand it at all in the early years because, according to the infrastructure of the ‘core database,’ a ‘Level 4 singular point’ was enough to maintain the energy supply.
However, the notes on that building complex clearly stated that it required an unbelievable amount of energy. There was also a link to test the energy output during its activation process.
To be on the safe side, he didn’t rush to send energy in.
After a long journey in the Milky Way, he gradually guessed why the ‘core database’ needed such a high activation threshold.
Perhaps the ‘core database’ itself did not require so much energy, but the secret behind it required energy preparation in advance.
The energy transmission rejuvenated the ancient buildings, and the old metal structure seemed to be shining at that time.
The Earth was rotating, and the sun was slowly rising from the horizon.
The last signal to be connected finally returned to Li Wenyuan’s embrace.
However, he, who was silently looking at the familiar written records, did not seem very happy at that time because he knew that it was not the time for the results.
[…The core database has been restored, connecting to the core database…]
As time passed, the ‘connection’ was still in a ‘waiting’ state.
The process of finding out the truth immediately after the connection did not begin like how he had imagined. Instead, the ominous premonition grew heavier and heavier.
He felt that perhaps the first secret to be revealed would be why the ‘core database’ required such a large amount of energy.
In the end, the blue ‘waiting’ progress bar went round and round before it was stuck in the middle.
Everything seemed to have returned to peace as if the ‘core database’ had suddenly crashed.
However, Li Wenyuan held his non-existent breath. The subconsciousness that had roamed the entire Milky Way with the help of the research spaceships had all returned to Earth at that time.
All the research spaceships entered automatic navigation mode and looked no different from before. However, if that continued, it would not be long before the Milky Way civilizations discovered that the ‘Administrator’s’ spaceships seemed to have lost their ‘spirituality.’
However, that was not the most important thing but the ‘core database’ that was being activated.
The string of characters displayed in the virtual world suddenly changed. The seemingly neat words quickly turned into garbled characters.
The blue space that had remained stable also seemed to have been triggered by something and turned into a flickering red.
That scene was very familiar, just like when Li Wenyuan first came here. A large number of error reports had accumulated in the entire virtual world.
It had been a long time since he had experienced something like that. The other Milky Way civilizations did not have the ability to make him have ‘error reports.’
However, Li Wenyuan’s consciousness did not waver at all. He only looked at the increasing number of error reports and then grasped the main point.

A large number of error reports and inexplicable combat commands suddenly spread to all the AIs under the control of Li Wenyuan, or rather, the ‘administration matrix.’
Artificial intelligence showed its disadvantage at that moment. The battleships did not think about why the ‘administration matrix,’ which was fine before, suddenly went crazy and wanted to destroy the entire Milky Way or themselves.
They were only loyally executing the message the ‘administration matrix’ sent. The ‘Tiangang Battleship’ that was basically parked near Earth had also aimed its ‘Sub-space Catcher’ at the entire solar system.
The spaceships docked at the various space bases had also started their warp drives. Some were flying to unknown galaxies that Li Wenyuan did not know about, while others were preparing to fly to the mother planet of the Milky Way civilizations.
The ‘riot’ caused by the connection to the ‘core database’ was even more terrifying than what he had to deal with when he first arrived.
After all, at that time, he was poor and powerless. Even if he wanted to destroy the Milky Way, he could not do so. But now, it was different. The ‘Administrator’ that he had carefully operated for many years had long had the power to destroy the Milky Way.
Everything seemed to be predestined. Just like some Milky Way civilizations who were worried about the ‘Administrator’s’ abnormal behavior and guessed that perhaps the ‘Administrator’ who had protected the Milky Way twice would become the destroyer of the Milky Way one day in the future.
Artificial intelligence from ancient times might have gradually decayed over a long period. That two ‘guards’ were their last glory.
The endless cycle of accumulated errors would reach its peak one day, until the entire ‘artificial intelligence’ completely collapsed, resulting in a terrible crisis that could destroy the Milky Way.
That guess might be correct, but would everything end up the same way in a cycle?
Li Wenyuan did not panic at all as he looked at the string of error reports and the ‘combat commands’ that were refreshing all the time.
As usual, he dealt with a series of mistakes with ease..
