Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Humans are indeed very aggressive. Wherever humans set foot, they will inevitably encroach on the living territory of other creatures and bring many by-products.

Take space, for example. Even in such a difficult place to reach, humans have left behind so much trash.

If Aurora hadn't started cleaning up space debris now, Starlink would have had to expend a lot of effort each year just to avoid it.

On a normal timeline, Starlink spends a tremendous amount of effort each year avoiding various types of space debris. And some competitors are really shameless; they can't even manage their own satellite orbits properly, causing them to constantly tumble and sway.

One of them was the most outrageous satellite; Starlink had to avoid it more than a thousand times a year. SpaceX very politely came to the East to discuss it with his company.

The other party very politely returned the favor with an employee badge that read "Musk," "Vice President," and "Number 250," and even kindly explained the meaning of "250."

The failed communication forced SpaceX to start publishing annual rankings of satellites and companies to avoid, hoping to make these companies think twice before recklessly operating in orbit.

Of course, Chen Yiran's appearance prevented this from happening. Aurora gained the ability to clean up space debris, and the definition of space debris was also set by Aurora.

If I say you're trash, then you're trash. If you don't obey, I'll just take you away and destroy you.

If space is so crowded, the ocean floor is even more so. Over the years, humans have left behind unimaginable creations on the seabed.

Abandoned oil and gas wells and pipelines, former telegraph cables, nearly three million shipwrecks, and more than a thousand lost containers every year.

Even after World War II, the Allied powers dumped at least 30 tons of chemical weapons in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Soviet Union even systematically dumped solid radioactive waste, including 14 decommissioned nuclear reactors, in the Kara and Barents Seas of the Arctic Ocean. The most famous example is the K-27 nuclear submarine, which was filled with solidifying agent and scuttled directly to the seabed at a depth of 33 meters.

If the amount of waste left behind is this heavy, then there must be even more things still in use.

Transnational power cables, various oil and gas pipeline equipment, underwater production systems, military surveillance equipment, and weapons prefabrication platforms.

These are all important in modern society, but the most important thing on the seabed is the submarine fiber optic cables that are spread throughout the ocean.

There are currently 600 submarine optical cables in use worldwide, with a total length of 1.5 million kilometers.

The line carries 99% of the world's intercontinental data traffic, with more than $10 trillion in financial transactions running on it every day.

However, such an important thing is actually very fragile. The diameter of the deep-sea section of the optical cable is only 17 to 21 millimeters, which is thinner than a garden water pipe.

There are nearly two hundred natural breakdowns every year, most of which are caused by fishing nets and anchors.

The breakpoint is actually easy to find. The login station can locate it within 1 kilometer in a few milliseconds using optical time-domain reflectometry. However, there are only 62 professional cable ships in the world, and it takes a month to repair one, so there is basically no redundancy.

Moreover, arrogant humans never imagined they would be driven out of the ocean by marine life, so they set up no obstacles. The world's submarine cable routes are public information, and the wet tribes don't even need to conduct reconnaissance. They can simply browse the internet and see all the weakest points in the entire human network.

Then, the whole world descended into chaos.

At the same moment, when all the world's submarine fiber optic cables were blown up by the Wet Creatures, the financial system immediately collapsed, and international remittances (SWIFT), cross-border payments, overseas credit card transactions, the foreign exchange market, and the global stock market came to an instant halt.

All cloud services that rely on a central server have been shut down.

The intercontinental disconnection also caused the DNS root servers to be interrupted. Since there are only 13 IPv4 root servers in the world, ten of which are in the United States, users in other continents have difficulty accessing even websites in their own region because the domain name resolution was broken at the source.

Balkanization is a geopolitical term that refers to a once unified whole that has broken into a bunch of small, distrustful, and defensive fragments.

The name comes from the fact that after the decline of the Ottoman Empire, the Balkan Peninsula split into a large number of small states.

Today, the area encompassing Serbia, Croatia, Bochum, Albania, Macedonia, Greece, and Bulgaria is the Balkans.

They are small in area, hostile to each other, with different religions, ethnicities and languages, interlocking borders, and constantly reorganizing.

The Balkanized Internet is a concept proposed by a professor at MIT, referring to the phenomenon of information silos formed due to the differentiation of interest groups.

When submarine fiber optic cables are destroyed, it is no longer just a simple information island; it causes widespread panic among most people.

It's important to remember that the Holy Alliance of Humanity was only established not long ago, and the war between humans and marine life seems to have just begun.

Now, the internet is gone? Does that mean we're going to lose?

Countless people started calling their loved ones, which in turn caused various forms of information congestion. In some areas, base stations were so congested that calls could not be made.

The entire human society's communication capabilities regressed and began to be severely congested. All the pressure on intercontinental communication was instantly transferred to satellites, and satellite networks began to collapse.

At this moment that caused some panic around the world, all users of Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi phones received a special notification.

The system automatically connected to the Aurora Link's direct signal and attached a message from Aurora.

"To all members of the Holy Alliance of Humanity, and to everyone receiving this message at this moment:"

I am Chen Yiran from Aurora.

Many people are still unaware of what happened in the past day, so I'll explain it here.

We made contact with an intelligent life form in the ocean. They called themselves the Wet Race, and their self-identity was that of mechanical life forms based on wet materials. In other words, they considered themselves no longer marine creatures, but a new race.

Aurora's stance is clear.

We do not believe that intelligence exists only in the human form, nor do we believe that humans are the only species on this planet qualified to have a future.

Over the past eight years, everything Aurora has done has been aimed at freeing people from the constraints of physical bodies and lifespans.

Therefore, we have no reason to deny another form of wisdom.

However, recognition does not equate to acceptance of everything. The attitude of the Holy Alliance of Humanity is clear: to ensure the supremacy of humanity.

Furthermore, prior to this contact, the other side had issued orders to use nuclear weapons against humanity. This ultimately did not occur, solely because the person who received the order refused to carry it out.

I would like to draw everyone's attention to something.

Throughout human history, the use of weapons by belligerent parties has followed a specific order: conventional weapons first, then unconventional ones; military targets first, then other objectives. Even in the most intense wars, neither side has ever made nuclear weapons their first choice on the very first day of conflict.

Neither side would directly carry out a massacre of the city.

But that's what they did.

They made no probes, no warnings, no escalation. The very first order issued at the start of the war was to launch nuclear missiles at major cities inhabited by millions of people.

This is not a simple war; it is a battle for the survival of our species.

What they want is not conditions, not territory, not bargaining chips. From the very beginning, what they want is the destruction of the human world.

Aurora will not negotiate with such an opponent, nor does it intend to pretend that there is still room for negotiation.

Yesterday, the other side announced an indiscriminate attack on ships at sea worldwide and simultaneously severed all undersea fiber optic cables. Currently, global intercontinental communications are disrupted, cross-border payments, foreign exchange markets, most cloud services are at a standstill, and in many places even local websites are inaccessible.

We will not hide these consequences, nor is there any need to hide them.

The battle was not smooth sailing; the wet tribes did indeed have an advantage over us in the ocean.

But we humans will not back down.

Aurora promises two things here:

First, from now on, Aurora Starlink will take over global intercontinental communications.

We have opened access to telecommunications authorities in various countries, prioritizing the restoration of financial settlements, shipping schedules, and government communications. Satellite bandwidth is limited, and we will allocate it according to the level of urgency.

To alleviate congestion at terrestrial base stations, we will provide Starlink direct connection signals to Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi users.

Second, Aurora will deploy new types of aircraft to supplement the disrupted maritime transport capacity.

Starting today, the first batch of aircraft has already flown to the North Atlantic, Malacca, and Holmz. Shipping capacity cannot completely replace sea freight; we will prioritize transporting essential supplies.

It is hoped that human society can overcome these difficulties together.

This statement quickly spread, and Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi users began to feel proud, saying they hadn't made the wrong choice in their phone selection!

Most people are relieved that Oasis's network is directly connected to Starlink and is completely unaffected.

Reality is too harsh, so many people decided to hurry up and go online to kill monsters.

As for reality, let's leave everything to the aurora borealis.
