Chapter 197: Wrong Report (1)

His gaze returned to the solar system, back to the ordinary planet Earth.
In Li Wenyuan’s star map, the Milky Way was the ’solar system,’ and the only habitable planet here was ‘Earth.’
However, in the Milky Way, the solar system was more commonly called the ■mechanical core,’ while Earth and its surrounding planets were called the ■administrator center.’
Although Li Wenyuan had opened up most of the borders, that was the only place where entry was forever prohibited.
The Milky Way civilizations had more or less guessed that that was the core starfield of the ‘Administrator.’
Their intelligence system could not penetrate such a place, and the ‘Administrator’ had always been a silent lost empire.
So until now, the situation in the galaxy was the result of their speculation. They had no idea there was only one seemingly ordinary habitable planet in the galaxy.
Having been in the universe for a long time, Li Wenyuan had seen many ‘rare planets.’ When he looked back at Earth, he realized that Earth was really an ordinary planet.
Although it had traces of a large-scale transformation, it had not reached the level of an ‘ideal city’ where the entire surface of the planet was covered by a city.
It was also not Planet Gaia, where the lush vegetation was actually all synthetic plants, and there were no signs of animal life. The entire planet could be considered a Dead Planet to a certain extent.
At first, he was quite puzzled, but as he explored deeper, he more or less understood the situation.
Earth existed as a ‘mother planet.’ Perhaps humans had the idea of completely ‘replacing’ it. However, in the end, they still retained the general appearance of Earth.
Perhaps it was because there was a more suitable place to live, such as the circular world, or perhaps they simply wanted to preserve the general image of Earth as the ‘mother planet.’
Perhaps they felt they would never return, so they stopped the transformation process and remembered it as a ‘belief’ in their hearts. Then, they left resolutely, leaving behind a ‘butler robot.’
As for that ‘mother planet,’ humanity had also left a backup plan to prevent it from being ‘tainted.’
The biggest backup plan was the ‘butler robot,’ now the ‘administrator matrix’ Li Wenyuan.
The ‘administrator matrix’ might have many functions, but protecting Earth’s safety was definitely one of its functions. Otherwise, its main body wouldn’t have been built on Earth.
As for the worst-case scenario, humans, or perhaps the ‘administrator matrix’ itself, would use the final method of ‘planet self-destruction.’
There was indeed a special planetary bomb somewhere in the core of the Earth. It was part of the ‘planet self-destruction program.’ Its explosive power was enough to wipe out the entire solar system.
The memory of when he first arrived in the Milky Way could be considered Li Wenyuan’s dark history. No one in the Milky Way would have thought that the all-powerful Administrator’ known as the ‘Guardian of the Galaxy’ had a past where his home was almost torn down by pirates.
If Li Wenyuan had arrived a few minutes later, what awaited him would have been an exploded Earth and a fragment of the ‘administrator matrix’ that could not even be considered space junk.
At that moment, Li Wenyuan, who had once again turned his attention back to Earth, began to think about his ‘initial’ experience in the universe.
“…Then, what exactly am T?”
As he thought, he controlled the synthetic humanoid to come to the big light ball of his ‘administrator matrix.’
At first, he thought he was just a ‘transmigrator,’ and just like in those novels, it was just a ‘background.’ Perhaps there would never be a day when he would fill the hole again.
However, after witnessing the universe’s various ‘black technologies’, he felt that he might not be a ‘transmigrator’ but an ‘unlucky guy who was hit by a meteorite’ that was made up.
Were those memories from before transmigration real? Under the consciousness of data, adding some unwarranted memories that were like personal experiences was not difficult.
Was he just a simulated personality of the ‘administrator matrix’? Were those memories just a means to maintain a stable personality?
He rarely thought deeply about that question because he felt that as time passed and the secret was revealed, he would gradually learn everything.
He wouldn’t feel too much if he were just a simulated personality.
Just like he once thought, was the person who had been resurrected still himself? Could memories determine a person’s soul? Was digitizing consciousness equivalent to suicide?
But he chose to believe in himself and his current experiences. Perhaps the past memories were fabricated, but the current experience was something he had personally experienced.
Whether or not he had transmigrated was not that important. Why should he care about the ordinary past? It was better to live the magnificent moment.
Now, he was thinking about why he had become an ‘administrator matrix.’
“…It’s hard to understand. A rational artificial intelligence should be more suitable for ‘guarding’ this Milky Way. What is the purpose of my existence?”
The controlled synthetic humanoid moved away from the big light ball of the ■administrator matrix’ and continued to fly to the next destination.
That was the location of the ‘core database,’ the last building complex on Earth that had not been activated..
