V2/Chapter 53: What do you want to do?
'The ninth great eruption is coming?'
Before Ai Yue could recover from the joy of obtaining the "Seed of Nothingness", he received such bad news.
(TL: Seed of Nothingness? probably the bubble world?)
Dr. Mei didn't say much, but just left this message. It was obvious that she had entered a wartime state and needed to deal with many things, so she had no time to care about Ai Yue.
After all, in the other party's eyes, even if all humans died out, Ai Yue would probably be fine.
After dealing with the Seed of Nothingness, Ai Yue turned his attention back to this matter: "Quinn, when did Dr. Mei send the message?"
"102 minutes and 37 seconds ago."
Quinn responded.
"Not bad, it seems at least I caught up."
Ai Yue nodded, then looked at Prometheus, "Rose, is the information synchronized?"
The two AIs have their own strengths. Compared with Quinn, Prometheus is better at processing and analyzing network information, so in this situation, it is obvious that Prometheus can play a greater role.
"Information synchronization completed."
Prometheus responded quickly, "It has been confirmed that the location of the ninth great eruption is located in Mu Continent, and a group of Honkai beasts is attacking Atla City."
'Mu Continent? That should still be the Herrscher of the Rock.'
Ai Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There were fusion warriors on the Mu Continent, as well as the underground shelter built by Vill-V. Moreover, the Herrscher had not shown up yet, so it should not be difficult to hold out against the Honkai Beast for two hours.
Of course, the most crucial thing is the position of the Herrscher.
The Herrscher of Rock was also a Herrscher with very little information in the original plot. Ai Yue only knew that he used a black hole to destroy Mu Continent, the region with the highest level of human technology, but the specific process was unknown.
No matter what, Mu Continent must be preserved. If the other party does not show up, it may be that he is still looking for an opportunity, such as... the simplest way to destroy the entire continent is through a black hole.
Ai Yue has always been curious about the Herrscher of Rock, because the strength of this Herrscher is actually quite strange. He was able to use the power of the Herrscher to simulate the power of a black hole and directly destroy a continent, but he died at the hands of Kevin in the end. It was really a somewhat contradictory thing.
Because if he could release a black hole that was powerful enough to swallow an entire continent, then theoretically none of Kevin's attacks would be able to hurt him.
Unless this kind of power cannot be used continuously and there is a period of weakness, or... he is not as strong as imagined?
This speculation is not groundless, because the power to destroy a continent, which sounds terrifying, can actually be achieved through tricks.
If we take destroying a building as an example, attacking the load-bearing walls is the most efficient. This method can allow damage that would not otherwise destroy a building to achieve its goal through a chain reaction. The same is true for destroying a continent.
Although Mu Continent is not a man-made building, it is bound to have relatively fragile areas due to geological movements. If these "weaknesses" can be utilized well, then twice the result with half the effort can be achieved.
This also explains why the Herrscher of Rock did not show up, because he needed enough time to find the weak point of Mu Continent.
However, although such reasoning is reasonable, it cannot prove that this is the truth. It is even more impossible for Ai Yue to pin his hopes of defeating the Herrscher on the fact that "the Herrscher is not very strong."
However, this at least provides an idea.
"Rose, take over all the networks on Mu Continent and investigate the identities and movements of the current survivors. Pay attention to those whose behavior logic is obviously different before and after the Great Eruption."
Thinking of this, Ai Yue immediately said, "Mark all the suspicious people, and then tell the Fire Moth about this matter and ask them to assist in the investigation."
The Herrschers did not appear out of thin air. Before becoming Herrschers, they were also human beings. Since they were human beings, they naturally had a human identity and life.
But after becoming Herrschers, they obviously no longer act like humans. According to this idea, ordinary people can be screened.
Even if the Herrscher discards all electronic devices on his body, he still has to come into contact with others. Unless the other party is isolated from the world, Prometheus will always be able to find clues about the other party.
Normally, such a huge project should be difficult to carry out, but unfortunately, Ai Yue has the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world.
"Received, in progress,"
Prometheus responded, "The amount of calculation is too large, and I am applying for the restriction to be lifted."
"Confirmed, the application for lifting restrictions has been approved."
Ai Yue said lightly, "Prometheus, go all out."
This was the second time he called her by her full name since the birth of Prometheus.
"Instructions confirmed, restrictions lifted."
Prometheus' voice was as calm as ever, but it gave people a faint sense of high spirits. "Quantum computer array, fully activated."
The next second after the command was issued, an unknown roar was heard in every corner of the world.
That was because Ai Yue set up quantum computers in different parts of the world in order to enable Prometheus to monitor the global network more timely. These supercomputers developed through the system not only have performance far exceeding the most advanced supercomputers currently available to mankind, but can also use the effect of quantum entanglement to perform array-type co-frequency calculations to a certain extent, further amplifying the already very powerful performance.
Not only were these machines placed on Earth, Ai Yue even used the Fire Moth rocket to launch several satellites into the sky to ensure complete coverage of the entire array.
"11,895 suspicious targets have been found,"
With the powerful performance of the quantum computer array, Prometheus completed the initial screening in just over ten seconds. "After the basic screening, 4,396 targets have been excluded. Secondary screening is in progress... 5,254 targets have been excluded..."
"Don't go into details about the process, just tell me the conclusion."
Ai Yue interrupted Prometheus's report and asked, "Have you found the target?"
"There are currently zero suspicious targets in Atla City."
Prometheus said.
"Inside Atla City?"
Ai Yue raised his eyebrows, "In other words, is there one outside the city?"
"After the Great Eruption, 2,215 people left Mu Continent in various ways. We are tracking their movements."
Prometheus was silent for a while, and soon came up with a result, "The specific whereabouts of 2,214 people have been confirmed, and the suspicion has been eliminated. Only one person is still missing."
"One person is missing?"
Ai Yue frowned, "Where was the other party last seen?"
"The target boarded a cruise ship from Mu Continent to Shenzhou 73 minutes and 25 seconds ago,"
Prometheus said, "Ten minutes ago, a Honkai beast appeared on this cruise ship, and the suspected target disappeared on the ship."
Prometheus also thoughtfully provided a map that marked the location where the suspect last disappeared.
Ai Yue looked at the red dot on the map, then looked at Australia just below the red dot, and couldn't help but frown.
"Quinn, send reconnaissance drones to conduct reconnaissance in the sea area between the location where the target disappeared and the experimental base. Remember, send underwater drones as well."
"Received."
