Chapter 237: Artificial Intelligence

Kicking off the wall, he took advantage of the mechanical soldier's instability to behead him with one blade, then finished off the attacking mechanical soldier with one shot.

Ye Su was like entering an unpopulated land with a blade and a gun. However, before he could finish off the soldiers in front of him, the mechanical dogs behind had already caught up.

Actually, Ye Su was still a bit wary of the mechanical dogs; after all, these guys weren't as easy to deal with as the mechanical soldiers.

To be honest, humans have long legs and arms, and their weaknesses are too obvious; their armor is thin, unlike canines, which have no weaknesses in their entire body structure except for the waist.

Just as Ye Su was preparing to finish off the soldiers in front and then repel the mechanical dogs behind, a red light flashed suddenly.

It was a laser. Ye Su shouted "Old coin!" (a slang for a sneaky player). Actually, he didn't know this AI was completely learning from him.

However, it was too late to dodge. Ye Su pulled the robot in front of him to block the shot.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Ye Su muttered "that was close" and fired a shot in the direction the laser came from.

Then, for the remaining two soldiers, Ye Su threw them directly into the mechanical dog pack. Sure enough, it blocked them for a while, and Ye Su caught his breath and ran toward the main control room.

It seemed the mechanical guards had all gone to chase Ye Su, so there was no obstruction when he arrived at the door of the main control room. For the door that required authorization, Ye Su fired a shot without a word.

After entering the main control room, Ye Su found it empty, with only a few supercomputers running. Ye Su was surprised to find no one, so he took out the disintegration gun, preparing to destroy the computers.

At this moment, a little girl appeared on the screen, begging Ye Su not to destroy her.

Ye Su was unmoved and blew up a supercomputer. At this moment, a little girl appeared on another computer again.

"If you destroy my carrier again, I will destroy the entire base."

Ye Su's eyes lit up. He was just worrying about how to destroy this place, and now the pillow came just as he was getting sleepy!

So he blew up a few more machines. The little girl cried:

"We can discuss this, we can cooperate!"

Ye Su blew up another machine, the corners of his mouth raised, but he used a cold tone:

"I don't think we have anything to discuss. You are of no help to me, and leaving you behind would only be aiding the enemy, so destroying you is the correct choice."

The girl pondered for a long time and said: "I can go with you, as long as you help me find a carrier again."

Ye Su's eyes lit up: "That can indeed be discussed. Then how can I take you away?"

A switch popped up on the central supercomputer, and a crystal floated out from inside.

He hadn't expected this AI's main body to be a crystal. Clearly, this should be alien technology.

"Are you from that warship outside?"

The little girl said with some sadness: "Yes, we were lost in interstellar travel before arriving here. Unfortunately, the ship's crew have all passed away."

Although Ye Su still had many questions, the battle had delayed him for a long time. If security discovered him, it would be difficult to leave.

"Fine, we'll talk about these things later. Do I just need to take this crystal away?"

"After I leave, this place will be destroyed immediately. We don't have time to escape."

Ye Su looked steadily at the AI before him: "Then you can only be destroyed here."

Watching Ye Su aim his gun at the host, the little girl said: "I made a deception program that can support the system for a period of time. If the host is destroyed, the entire base will enter a countdown."

Ye Su asked: "Then how long can it run? Or can you remotely control its destruction?"

"I can!"

"Fine, then you come with me!"

"Wait a moment! I'm recovering some data."

Ye Su saw some blue electric arcs surging toward the crystal. The transparent crystal gradually turned deep blue, as if transparent glass had become jade, and flocculent matter appeared inside the crystal.

Finally, it actually formed a vaguely visible spaceship model. Ye Su compared it in his mind—wasn't this the starship in the center of the base!

The moment the starship appeared, the crystal fell limply. Ye Su found a box, put the crystal inside, put it in his pocket, and rushed out.

Outside, the mechanical dogs, without intelligent command, all collapsed on the ground. Ye Su took advantage of the fact that no one had discovered him and ran out.

Returning to the interrogation room, Ye Su scooped up George and walked along the route in his memory. Because he had the soldier's access card, he found Dr. Higgins smoothly.

"Oh, you actually came back. What happened to him?"

Higgins was clearly puzzled by their appearance, especially since Ye Su had changed into a soldier's uniform. However, Higgins didn't ask further; after all, the more you know, the faster you die.

Ye Su threw George onto the experimental table like a sack of potatoes and smiled at the doctor:

"George is almost dead, isn't he? I thought I'd treat a dead horse as a living one. It's his honor to be your test subject, Doctor. Even if he dies, it's worth it."

Hearing Ye Su's words and looking at George on the operating table, Higgins' face immediately showed a satisfied smile.

"Thank you for supporting my experiment. I will definitely make good use of him to realize my hypothesis. Do you want to witness the realization of this great research with me?"

Ye Su glanced at the time and said: "Forget it, I still have things to do. When your experiment succeeds, just remember to give me a copy of the data."

"Alright, I will. You go quickly, don't delay my experiment."

Higgins had already put on his gloves and pulled an iron chain from under the console.

Seeing the rusty iron chain and the instruments beside the console, plus the smile on Higgins' face, this was clearly a black-hearted doctor conducting evil experiments.

Sure enough, once a person gets serious, their aura comes out. Ye Su shouted in his heart that he couldn't take it and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out.

"Close the door well, don't let anyone break in again!"

Ye Su gestured an "OK" and closed the door, humming a little tune as he walked toward the plasma shield research institute.

Celine had been waiting at the entrance of the institute for some time. Hearing someone coming, she hurriedly looked up, only to find it was someone in a security uniform, so she lowered her head again.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Celine couldn't help but frown, thinking it must be another person coming to hit on her, so she looked up and said impatiently:

"Is there something you need?"

The result was meeting a pair of gentle eyes.

"How long have you been waiting?"

Celine blushed and lowered her head, saying softly:

"Not long! I just arrived too!"

At this moment, she felt all the waiting was worth it, and her mood became cheerful.

Ye Su stepped forward and held the girl in his arms, stroking her back, and whispered in her ear:

"Sorry, I was delayed by some things earlier. Why didn't you wait for me in the laboratory?"

"I was afraid you'd come over and not find me!"

Hearing Celine's coquettish tone, Ye Su immediately laughed.

Celine broke free from Ye Su's arms and punched Ye Su's chest: "Your laugh is really annoying!"

Ye Su grabbed Celine's hand and said: "Do you want to invite me to your room as a guest?"

Celine immediately lowered her head, a blush staining her snow-white cheeks. She said "Mm" in an almost imperceptible voice, then, fearing Ye Su wouldn't hear, she hurriedly nodded slightly.

Seeing Celine's shy appearance, Ye Su couldn't help but pat her butt.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound was exceptionally loud in the quiet corridor. Celine hurriedly looked up at Ye Su with resentment, her eyes still filled with deep affection.

"Let's go! I don't know the way."

Ye Su followed Celine to a small bedroom.

He found the area here was much smaller than an apartment, looking about the same size as a hostel room, with a bathroom partitioned off next to the door.

There was a small bed in the room, a small table, and a vanity, but perhaps because she lived alone, it was a bit messy.

Seeing Celine change into slippers and run to tidy up the room, Ye Su asked at the door:

"Celine, do you have slippers? It doesn't seem very appropriate for me to go in like this."

Celine threw the beer can in her hand into the trash can and walked over with a red face. Opening the shoe cabinet, it was all women's shoes.

Celine took out a pair of pink sandals from the shoe cabinet and looked at Ye Su hesitantly, as if asking for his opinion.

"Okay, okay!"

Ye Su took the sandals and put them on. Fortunately, Celine was tall and had relatively large feet, so although they were a bit tight on Ye Su, it didn't affect his walking.

"Actually, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go barefoot."

"Better not."

Ye Su followed Celine into the bedroom and saw the colorful little clothes with lace trim on the bed at a glance.

Celine noticed Ye Su's gaze and hurriedly covered his eyes, then realized something was wrong, ran to the bedside with a red face, and threw the clothes into the bedside cabinet.

Then she turned around with a red face and looked at Ye Su. Perhaps feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Celine hurriedly asked:

"Do you want to drink something?"

Ye Su hurriedly took the opportunity to step down. Of course, he had been busy all afternoon and hadn't drunk a drop of water, so he was indeed a bit thirsty.

"What do you have?"

Celine walked to a solid-colored painting on the side wall and pulled it, and a refrigerator was pulled out.

Ye Su then saw clearly that the wild goose on the painting was actually the cabinet handle.

"Not bad, you actually have a niche refrigerator on the wall. Let me see what you have?"

Beer, beer, red wine.

Ye Su looked at Celine strangely; he really couldn't imagine this girl was so bold. Perhaps seeing Celine was a bit embarrassed, Ye Su hurriedly took a can of beer.

"I'll just drink this!"

At this moment, Ye Su turned his head and actually found a window on the inner wall. This was an experimental base, after all; where could the window lead?

Ye Su pulled the ring and walked over, glancing out the window inadvertently, only to find that the window was fake. Ye Su complained:

"I didn't expect this window to be fake."
