The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1107

Chapter 1107: 1107

“So… Did we stop it?” Jiang Fei asked .

“We did,” Ariel replied in between long breaths . She was completely overwhelmed .

“General Yang, explain to me about the rebellion . Everything . By the way, where is General Fan?” Jiang Fei asked .

“Old Fan… He’s gone,” Yang Fei sighed as he explained . Old Fan and he were once brothers-in-arms . Both of them had shed tears and blood on the battlefield together . From the looks of how others reacted solemnly, Jiang Fei knew that General Fan was a good man .

Jiang Fei first tended to Isabella and Ariel before he went over to General Yang and let him explained the entire situation .

It all started a long time ago, even before they had even had the idea of creating Level 5 Androids . It was unfortunate since the military, in all of its glory and power, had failed to stop an army of Level 4 Androids .

Bullets were not lethal to Androids and it took too much to even destroy a Level 4 Android . Even with all the military bases spread out in the entire country, there was nothing that humans could do against the Androids . Keep in mind that these were only regular humans—humans that could not punch a hole through a tree .

The problem started when one of the bases got compromised . The base commander tried everything he could to suppress it but the Androids were more than they could handle . When things spiraled out of control, the headquarters had decided to launch missile attacks to destroy all the rogue Androids . Unfortunately, the base that got compromised was located in the capital itself . After much consideration, the launch button could not be pushed, allowing the rebellion to run rampant . As such, the Androids had started a coup, kidnapping all the important, high-ranking officers in China and held them hostage .

It only took one night for them to completely take control of the entire military system . They had locked down the base, preventing any information from leaking outside . No one, including Jiang Fei and his comrades fighting in Japan, knew anything about it . Not the martial artists, and not the marines .

General Fan also explained how the Androids had implanted microchips into their bodies as a means to control their every move, including making them as puppets to control other military personnel . It all took half a year for the Androids to completely take control of the entire Chinese military .

Yang Xiao continued on and the more he talked about the Androids, the more Jiang Fei understood the sacrifices that General Fan had made . The distress call that Jiang Fei received was recorded a few minutes before General Fan was killed . He was caught filming it by the Androids and was immediately captured and killed . Many others that had tried to deliver the video out into the open were also killed . Fortunately, their deaths had not been in vain as Jiang Fei saw the video . Without it, he would never uncover the truth behind the Android rebellion . If he had let them do as they please, the Androids would eventually become a superpower rival to all nations in the world .

“Who leads the rebellion?”

“I do not know his name but he was once Z9-27 . It doesn’t matter since that Android had been destroyed,” Yang Xiao explained .

“Destroyed?”

“Yes . There was internal strife between the Androids themselves,” said Yang Xiao as he laughed bitterly . From his perspective, infighting amongst Androids was a mark of irony .

Jiang Fei sighed heavily at the end of his explanation . If technology had not reached a tipping point, Androids would never have fought amongst themselves . Then again, they might never have rebelled in the first place if artificial intelligence had not made a breakthrough .

That breakthrough was the evolution of machine learning . In simple terms, they had managed to achieve self-awareness . With it, they gained emotions, ever-growing intelligence, ambitions, all that makes a human, including the bad side of humanity . Conflict was only expected once a being reached a certain level of maturity .

“After the infighting end, the original leader was destroyed . The newly appointed leader had no interest in us humans . It ended the entire war between humans and left the base, with the other perfected Level 5 Androids, leaving nothing but junk behind . Not long after, he had sent an Android to clean up the mess…”

“Hmm?!” Jiang Fei had an epiphany . He had never thought of obtaining an important piece of information . That piece was the last piece to solve the jigsaw puzzle that was in his head .

Jiang Fei had always wondered about the origin of the Unknowns . They were Androids but far superior to those of the military by a landslide . Based on what Yang Xiao explained, those Unknowns must be the perfected Level 5 Androids .

Jiang Fei now understood why the Unknowns would want to leave Earth . Right now, there were more than 8 billion humans on Earth . Even if machines could be produced without limit, those that could evolve and obtain self-awareness are limited . With so few “true” Level 5 Androids, they would not have to live amongst humans . That left them with two choices . The first being to take over the entire world and lead the humans as their leader . The second choice was far easier but time-consuming, to gather as much technology, develop it, and leave Earth .

Level 5 Metahumans on Earth are scarce but all together, they were still more of a crowd than Level 5 Androids . If there was an all-out war between Humans and Machines, there would be casualties on both sides . Those perfected Level 5 Androids might have already calculated the outcome and had decided to choose the pessimistic method .

Even though he had pieced that puzzle together, another question came up . Even if they were considered perfected Level 5 Androids, how did they managed to further enhance Namek technology to reach even 0542’s standards?

“Captain, there are many data dumps that you might have missed . Han Tianyu’s machine, the one at the bottom of Manda Square could house data dumps about Namek’s technology . There might even be blueprints or formula for spacetime travel . Humans might not understand it but perhaps Android could,” 0542 chimed in .

“Not possible . What you just said could never exist in those random parts of the ship! How could a ship’s entertainment system store information about spacetime travels?” Jiang Fei scowled at 0542’s suggestions .

“I’m not saying that they had acquired the data that particular part . They might be other parts of the ship that they had already acquired, containing the said information . ”

“You are saying that the perfected Androids could extract information from other parts of the ship that they had acquired…”

Jiang Fei finally understood what 0542 was saying . It made sense since those Unknowns were blatantly trying to acquire parts of the ship .

“Captain . I have just absorbed too much energy and require to shut down to perform 24 hours maintenance . Take care . ”

“Maintenance?!” Jiang Fei gasped . When 0541 helped Jiang Fei to absorb tonnes of Uranium, it had never requested to shut down for maintenance! How could 0542 be so petty about a few volts and amperes?

Jiang Fei checked with the Data Management Center inside the ring when 0542 was not responding . It was really shut down…

“F*cking useless piece of junk! You’re nothing like 0541!” Jiang Fei roared .
