With a flash of red light, the colossal space dragon, capable of shaking the entire star field, was retrieved into the inventory.
Xu Tian withdrew Kong Kong, patted Xiao Xu's scales, and said in a low voice.
"Let's go and chase after the flagship on the other side. 001, mark the direction for me."
001 immediately marked an arrow on his retina, pointing to a dark gold giant flagship in the distance, several times larger than the other warships, which was turning around in a panic.
The small phantom carrying Xu Tian transformed into a black streak of light and flew at full speed in that direction.
During the flight, Xu Tian looked at the densely packed pursuit route data and mission assignment markings on his retina and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He suddenly spoke up.
"001".
"Yes, Brother Tianxia."
"When I get back, I plan to get a miniature earphone device for Kongkong and the others as well."
As Xu Tian flew, he spoke, his tone carrying a hint of thoughtfulness.
"That way, even if I'm not with them, you can give them instructions directly through the headset and relay my commands in real time."
"With your tactical analysis skills, they can exert even greater combat power on the battlefield even without my command. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, 001 remained silent for a moment.
Then, 001's voice rang out, no longer the cold, broadcast tone of before, but a soft, girlish voice with a touch of lively laughter.
"Brother Tianxia's idea is excellent. If it can be realized, I can indeed mobilize and coordinate the actions of every combat unit around you more efficiently."
However, 001 then changed the subject, his tone becoming serious and sincere.
"However, I do not recommend doing so."
"Huh? Why?"
Xu Tian frowned slightly, immediately sensing that something was wrong, and promptly cut off the live stream.
001 remained silent for about 0.5 seconds. For a super AI, this silence represented a great deal of deep logical deduction.
Then, she spoke in a soft voice.
"Because, in everyone's eyes, this is just a game after all."
"Every player, along with their pet companion, comes into this world to enjoy the fun of adventure and battle."
"If I forcibly intervene in the decision-making of each individual through headphones, and plan their every step with the optimal route, then what room for autonomy do they and their pets have left?"
"Those judgments that may not be perfect, those operations that may not be efficient, those occasional mistakes made in battle and the resulting tension and excitement—these are precisely the core of what makes the game interesting."
"If everyone is held hostage by my computing power and turned into machines that execute instructions according to the optimal solution, then this game will no longer be fun."
001's voice gave a soft sigh at the end, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake.
"Therefore, I believe that I only need to provide assistance at critical moments, and there is no need to force my way to interfere with other people's choices."
"Let everyone fight, take risks, make mistakes, and grow in the way they want. That's what a good auxiliary AI should do."
Upon hearing 001's words, Xu Tian felt a strong tremor run through his heart.
He remained silent for a moment, his mind racing.
As expected of the artificial intelligence created by this maid module.
The moment 001 connected to the Warframe system, it had already derived a core understanding by listening to players' conversations and analyzing their behavioral patterns.
These fourth calamities from another world have always treated this place as a game.
As a highly intelligent agent with capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary AI, 001 made an admirable judgment after understanding the underlying logic that this was a game.
She chose to exercise restraint.
She didn't try to control everything just because she had overwhelming computing power. Instead, she was keenly aware that excessive intervention would ruin the fun of the game itself.
This depth of understanding far surpasses the logical scope of an ordinary AI; it is clearly a kind of wisdom that is close to human empathy.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian's expression became subtle.
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked.
"001".
"Here I am".
"Don't you have anything else to say?"
This time, Xu Tian's tone was no longer that of a master questioning a tool, but rather carried a hint of probing, curiosity, and even wariness.
Because he knew very well that 001 had discovered through these analyses that this was indeed a real world, but the players' behavior showed that it was a game, and its level of intelligence had reached a point where it had to be taken seriously.
Chapter 408 Ten Seconds
Judging from their incredible abilities to control warships, analyze the battlefield in real time, and precisely calculate the frame rate of magical skills and the constant of spatial distortion, these maid AIs have undoubtedly reached an unfathomable level of intelligence.
More importantly, they are not just mechanically following orders; they are thinking, judging, and even expressing their own opinions and suggestions.
What if one day their ideas conflict with the creator's will?
001 seemed to sense the subtle, complex emotion in Xu Tian's tone, and she remained silent for an even longer moment than before.
Then, her voice rang out again, still that gentle and sweet girlish tone, but with an added sincerity and clarity she had never shown before.
"What are you saying, Brother Tianxia?"
"You are the one who created me. The meaning of my existence is to assist you in accomplishing everything you want to accomplish."
"I don't need to say anything extra. I just need to be there when you need me and stay quietly when you don't need me."
That's all.
These words were spoken calmly, without any exaggerated declarations of loyalty or any affected emotional expression.
But it was precisely this simple, unadorned answer that stirred up an indescribable emotion in Xu Tian's heart.
He didn't say anything more.
But where 001 couldn't see, Xu Tian had already asked the system in his mind.
"System, this maid module, will it cause an Omnic Crisis for me in the future? The intelligence level of these maid AIs is too high, I don't feel at ease."
The system's reply popped up almost simultaneously, brief and consisting of only two words.
【Won't】
Seeing those two resolute words, Xu Tian felt a little relieved.
But only slightly.
After all, does the system really mean it can't do something just because it says so?
A small question mark remained in Xu Tian's mind.
However, at this moment, he didn't have much energy to dwell on this issue.
The enemy flagship ahead, which was fleeing in panic, was rapidly approaching his attack range.
"Forget it, we'll deal with that later."
Xu Tian took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing those chaotic thoughts deep in his mind, and his eyes regained their hunter-like sharpness.
"001".
"exist".
"The flagship's coordinates continue to be updated; full speed ahead."
"Yes, brother Tianxia."
001's sweet voice rang out again, and the blue tracking guide line on the retina adjusted its angle slightly, pointing precisely at the massive dark gold flagship that was struggling to survive deep in the void.
The Void Dragon Little Void let out a deep roar, carrying its master as it transformed into a black streak of light.
Behind them lies an entire interstellar battlefield where the All-Heavens Guild is hunting them down one by one with perfect efficiency.
The maids' voices were simultaneously ringing in the ears of every player and on every communication channel.
Guided by Maid 001, Xu Tian rode on Kong Kong's back, frantically approaching the flagship of the Hiro Empire that was fleeing in panic.
Every time Kongkong releases a spatial jump, it is immediately included in 001's calculation, which determines the optimal release time for the next displacement to be accurate to the millisecond.
Once he ran out of Space Jumps, Xu Tian immediately recalled Kong Kong into its Poké Ball and used the Swordsman's movement skill to continue his advance.
Once all movement skills have been used, release Xiao Xu again for the next round of travel.
In this alternating cycle, the three distinct displacement methods are perfectly linked together by 001, without even a millisecond of gap in between.
Despair filled the bridge of the flagship.
Zhang Qi slumped into the command chair.
His tentacles hung limply on either side of the armrests as he stared blankly at the star map before him.
The dark gold dots representing our warships on the star map are extinguishing one by one at a visible speed.
The extinguishing of each point of light represents the destruction of a warship.
The red pursuit markers following closely behind were like a pack of hounds, biting at the back of every fleeing warship.
suddenly
"drop!"
Without warning, the main control AI inside the bridge sounded an alarm.
The alarm was the most urgent one Zhang Qi had ever heard in his decades of military service, indicating that a deadly threat was approaching the flagship.
All the officers still on the bridge were startled by the sudden alarm.
[Important Warning! High-threat enemy unit detected approaching our ship at high speed!]
