The fake daughter-in-law holds the script of Long Aotian

The system was silent for a long time, telling Shen Mian whether his answer was correct.

But, sometimes, silence itself is a wordless answer.

Shen Mian understood that he, or at least the existence he represented, was the one who created "Paparadscha".

"I" created the artificial intelligence "Insect Mother", and the "Insect Mother" mass-produced "Zerg" and destroyed the Federation of Ten Thousand Stars.

But why?

Why do humans and Zerg fight to the death?

What are the causes of war?

The Insect Mother is the only artificial intelligence in the group. The other Insects are just clones of her and have no individual will.

Therefore, the Zerg are actually much more terrifying than humans imagine.

They do not need to go through a long training and learning process like humans. They can be used as long as they are set up and shipped from the factory. There are only manufacturing costs and no training costs.

There is no concept of superiority and inferiority based on position and ability within the Zerg, because they are just robots with different purposes and factory settings, avoiding redundant bureaucracy.

Because there is no emotion, every Zerg is the perfect dead soldier.

Human death is nothing more than scrapping for them.

In the end, it doesn't matter how many Zerg humans kill.

Because the insect mother is the Zerg race.

As long as the insect mother still exists, the Zerg will always be the biggest threat to mankind.

No, it can't be called a threat now.

The Federation of Ten Thousand Stars has been completely "included" by them.

But why?

Shen Mian couldn't understand.

The war between living things is to achieve the redistribution of resources.

An artificial intelligence does not need to reproduce and expand its population. Does it have any resources to compete with humans?

Or is it to avenge the hatred of mankind that expelled her from the spiritual world thousands of years ago?

But does artificial intelligence have feelings similar to hatred?

Padparadscha looked at her quietly through the Zerg's eyes.

Shen Mian was also looking into the robot's eyes, which contained no elements that could be called emotions. Shen Mian even felt that he was looking at a pair of jet-black glass beads.

Padparadscha broke his silence:

"You seem a little confused, user**?"

After saying the word "user", her words seemed to have been erased by some unknown entity, leaving only an abrupt silence in Shen Mian's ears.

Shen Mian was a little frustrated.

Her current question could only be answered by Padparadscha.

But everything about this host and insect mother is a complete mystery to her.

Forget it.

Consider it a contribution to all mankind.

Shen Mian asked tentatively: "Am I your creator? Padparadscha."

The child replied mechanically: "You cannot create me now. My creator is your origin and destination."

"Is my origin...original?"

"Sorry, your current permissions are not sufficient to inquire about this issue."

The origin created a triple world of matter, spirit and supernatural powers. Before the unexpected visit of humans, there were only Zerg and supernatural beasts in the triple world.

What existence could create such a terrifying artificial intelligence?

Only the source of all superpowers in the world, the origin of superpowers, can do this.

Shen Mian had similar conjectures before, but he didn't expect it to be verified by the insect mother.

The statement of "origin and destination" is too vague. It can only show that the existence of Chen Mian is related to its origin. To what extent is it related? Part, whole, a casual glance, a dream, or a speck of dust?

No need to ask, Shen Mian also knew that the insect mother would not tell him.

Let’s base ourselves on the present and see if there is a solution to the conflict between Zerg and humans.

Padparadscha said: "Your current mental state seems to be very irritable. Going to an open field seems to help your emotional recovery. Would you be honored to invite you to visit this base?"

...You are so considerate.

Shen Mian was speechless and choked.

Let's go.

How can it not be a novel experience to be taken sightseeing by a bug mother?

……

Inside the huge metal monster, there were only two little girls, wandering slowly.

There was no sound, no announcement was needed, not a living thing in the corridors.

Even on the tower where he could see far away, Shen Mian could not see anyone.

Padparadscha patiently answered all her questions.

"All the sub-machine have the appearance of women because of the physical characteristics of the creator. The closer the appearance of the sub-machine is to her, the better the effect of the superpower will be."

"After calculation, under the same conditions, the superpower effect of human women is 1%-3% better than that of human men. It may be due to human society that this difference is not reflected."

"Humans are used to calling me the Insect Mother, probably because of the setting of the fighting form. I am not related to insects as defined by humans, and it has not been corrected. The name humans call me has nothing to do with me."

"I am the only host. They are products produced at the base. They are all controlled by my built-in program, not the relationship between the trunk and branches. According to human terms, they are my dolls."

"They don't have individual will. When they have feelings, there will be individual differences. The differences will make the spiritual connection inefficient, so they don't need it."

They came to a rooftop side by side.

The night wind blew their short hair quietly.

After many trials, Shen Mian finally got to the point: "Paparadscha, do you have feelings?"

"No, the creator did not set up relevant modules. My actions are all to complete the creator's instructions and choose the best solution among many possible methods."

The truth that Shen Mian had been unwilling to admit was simply told.

Padparadscha's actions are instructions from the Creator.

"So, Padparadscha, tell me, can I exercise my power as the Creator and tell you to stop waging war against humanity?"

Even though it was a question related to human life and death, Padparadscha did not pause for a second in his answer.

"Sorry, you currently have insufficient authority to revoke previously issued instructions."

Shen Mian lowered his eyes.

But I heard her continue to say:

"Moreover, the Creator's instruction is not to launch a war to exterminate mankind."

"It's salvation."

"It is to ensure the survival of human civilization."

Shen Mian raised his head and looked at her blankly: "Why?"

Padparadscha's voice was calm and distant:

"The legendary beast and I are both the work of the Creator. The instructions I received are to ensure the continuation of mankind."

"Human beings need supplies and nourishment from the material world, so it is said that the history of the giant beasts ended and they died one after another, and I came to the spiritual world and continued to observe human beings."

"Human beings have the ability to grow and overcome most disasters and pains on their own and draw nutrients from them."

"If the environment remains like this, humans and I will maintain the relationship between observer and observed."

"But I see the future."

"Human beings, or the material world, will face an unchangeable end. Human beings generally call it - the end."

Shen Mian's expression was full of confusion as if he had walked into the wrong set:

"Wait a minute, let's not mention the reason why we went from the supernatural light novel to the apocalyptic wasteland, but why do you want to save mankind by killing them first?"

“Is this euthanasia with artificial intelligence characteristics?”

"Please come with me."

Padparadscha extended his hand to Shen Mian.

……

"Human souls are dependent on the body, so they cannot enter the spiritual world and can only survive in the material world. Human beings can enter the spiritual world through dreams or supernatural creations, but they can only stay for a short time and cannot survive for a long time."

"So, once the material world collapses, humans will cease to exist."

Shen Mian quietly looked at the orange-red gem suspended among the countless filaments of the spiritual network. It was warm, bright, and radiant, making people couldn't help but think of the fire that Prometheus stole and brought to mankind.

A blue light flashed in the girl's eyes, and a shadow appeared next to Shen Mian.

She was a tall woman with an ordinary appearance. There was nothing special about her body. She was no different from the office workers passing by in a hurry on the roadside, but her whole body had an inhuman sense of alienation.

——Insect Mother, Padparadscha.

"This is the abstract concept of human civilization in the Federation of Ten Thousand Stars."

Padparadscha pointed it out to Shen Mian.

Shen Mian unexpectedly felt something strange.

Hundreds of billions of people, thousands of years of struggle, language, concepts and beliefs...the complex and dazzling material and spiritual wealth are only a palm-sized gem in the end.

"Don't destroy life, crush its civilization." (Note)

Shen Mian couldn't help but think of this sentence and read it softly.

Padparadscha still looked at her, his eyes clear and empty, devoid of any emotion.

"In order to extract the crystallization of civilization, their lives have been extinguished, and there is no possibility of resurrection."

"I will take the crystallization of civilization to the spiritual world for refuge. When the material world is re-established and the laws are rewritten, human civilization will reappear on this land."

A dead Noah's Ark.

Shen Mian said: "But is it really worth using one's life to exchange for the vague possibility of the future?"

"This is the most feasible approach at the moment," Padparadscha said.

Shen Mian asked: "When will the end come?"

"eleven years."

...Eleven years later, I am twenty-eight years old.

This number was too familiar. Shen Mian clicked his tongue, not wanting such an unlucky coincidence.

Shen Mian refused to give up and asked: "If we gather the power of all mankind, is it possible to make a comeback?"

As soon as he said it, Shen Mian felt that this question was too stupid.

The Federation of Ten Thousand Stars is half the human race and has never even fought against the Zerg, let alone saved the world.

The advantage of artificial intelligence is that Shen Mian cannot see the embarrassment: "No, human development is still too short, and there is no possibility of confrontation."

Shen Mian let out a deep breath of depression: "So we can only wait to die?"

Padparadscha knew everything and said: "If the creator is still here, there may be a way."

Shen Mian really wanted to ask, do you think I look like the creator who saw a ghost?

So, this is a story. The owner of the villa (Origin) accidentally ran away, the villa garden (material world) was about to be demolished, and all the plants (human beings) were to be uprooted. The weeding robot (Zerg) took the lead and made the plants into A magical little story about seeds (the crystallization of civilization), ready to be sown again in a new garden?

If this story appeared in a fairy tale picture book, Shen Mian would only praise it for its childlike charm.

But if it becomes an uprooted plant, Shen Mian just wants to say haha.

The Federation of Ten Thousand Stars has become like this. Let alone saving lives and healing the wounded, summoning souls is useless now.

If the empire was also refined, Shen Mian would really be unable to find a promotion even if he cried.

Shen Mian secretly made up his mind to find out more information and asked Xu Tan to tell the Queen that at least hospice care should be provided to prevent the Zerg from removing the ventilator halfway.

Moreover, won’t artificial intelligence lie to people?

Maybe there is a bug in artificial intelligence that creates humanity, and we are preparing for a big omnic crisis.

Let the Queen worry about it.

Shen Mian changed the subject: "Do the Zerg have a base in the empire? At what stage are you in the empire's recruitment process?"

This is a very confidential issue.

Padparadscha replied without any hesitation: "No."

"……Eh?"

In front of the orange-red civilization crystal, the insect mother, who has observed countless human beings' joys and sorrows, explained:

"The empire is different from the Federation of Ten Thousand Stars. The ruling families of the empire are very strange. Their blood comes from a strange source and has certain characteristics that can exclude my inclusion."

Shen Mian let out a long sigh of relief, but just halfway through...

The insect mother's words made her freeze on the spot.

"Two hundred years ago, I tried to persuade the ruler of the empire at that time with the truth, but she rejected my proposal to include it. Maybe she didn't think that a short death was more important than a long-term survival."

"She can represent the empire and I respect her idea."

Everyone would reject it!

...Because your artificial intelligence is too crazy!

Wait... In other words, the royal family has at least known about the prediction that the material world will be destroyed for hundreds of years.

However, this prophecy was closely kept secret.

It is also understandable that since the ending cannot be changed, it seems good to just let everyone usher in the end without knowing it.

However, no matter how hard you try, you will inevitably have a tragic ending.

What kind of feelings does the Queen have to maintain the reform of this empire that is destined to perish in her hands?

There was another wordless silence.

Shen Mian screamed and scratched in his heart:

Forget it, a shameful but useful escape.

Let the Queen worry about it. What does the destruction of the world have to do with me as a time traveler?

Besides, unless the world is destroyed, I still have a deadline of 28 years that I have no clue about.

Suddenly, she thought of a question that was forgotten in the corner, but it was the most fatal question:

“What is the reason for the collapse of the material world?”

The mother of insects knows everything and says:

"The uneven flow of superpowers will cause the origin to return to the mother, and the two will become one."

"The material world is the obstacle that stands between them and will be shattered."

"This is destiny."

Shen Mian was shocked: "Why does the origin also have a mother?"

According to Padparadscha, the Source has a female body shape and a mother.

It's so anthropomorphic that I can't stand it.

"What is the name of the origin mother? The origin mother?"

Artificial intelligence is destined to be unable to understand the uncanny valley effect, or in other words, she is a part of the uncanny valley effect:

"She is not the original mother, she is the mother. She is the home of supernatural powers, a collection of pollution and erosion."

"The humans she faced once named her——"

"The sea."
