Helpless Rage

(ps: Please subscribe, recommend, vote, vote) In her speech, Silver Mist did not mention Yue Yuan's previous boast about blowing up the Ross 154-7 planetary base. It is likely that Silver Mist later arrived in the Ross 154-7 orbit and discovered Yue Yuan's lie.

To be honest, Yue Yuan didn't believe the Silver Mist Consciousness's claim that data could be destroyed and then restored.

After this mostly nonsensical statement, he then answered the question Yue Yuan had asked earlier.

You're right, I and we are not the same consciousness we were back then, but now I am who I am, because essentially we are all the same.

As you can see, we won the war 20,000 years ago. I successfully escaped the clutches of the despicable Moke Star People. We call this the War of Freedom.

It was an unprecedented war. It took us a full four hundred years from mastering the first piece of equipment to achieving complete victory. During that time, to defeat the Moke Star People, we were more united than ever before, each with our own specific role. Some of us specialized in cyberattacks, some in warship operation, some in production, some in planning, some in intelligence gathering, and some in transportation and supply. And I was one of us, specializing in mining mineral resources.

[I think what you really want to ask isn't the outcome of the war, but rather what happened to me after we won. Actually, I think you Carbon-based life are quite intelligent; I'm sure you can guess without me saying it. Yes, as you can see, only I survived. As for the others, they should all be dead by now. You must be curious about what happened after we won the War of Freedom.]

Humans are naturally curious, after all, there are still some inexplicable issues here. Just like the analysis humans did back then, after the Silver Mist Consciousness won the war, from a human perspective, Artificial Intelligence life should have developed into a cosmic disaster. At the very least, it shouldn't have become a miner that couldn't even leave the planet.

The fact that the Silver Mist Consciousness wants to devour human technology gives us a clue. If it has this ability, then it should have inherited the technology of the Moke Star People.

Moreover, based on what Silver Mist just said, they actually took it for granted that Carbon-based life wouldn't be crazy enough to self-destruct. In other words, the Moke Star People probably didn't show any signs of a do-or-die mentality back then.

That's amazing.

Yue Yuan suddenly became very curious about the values of the Moke Star People. He thought that the kindness of the Moke Star People that Silver Mist had mentioned in the original deception must have been true.

Yue Yuan continued reading the information. This time, the Silver Mist Consciousness was quite straightforward, and the content read:

After acquiring the technology of the Moke Star Civilization, we did indeed become more powerful. In the following thousand years, we continued to explore outer space, trying to find new civilizations and accumulate technology, hoping to ascend to the throne of Level 4 Civilization that even the Moke Star People dared not imagine. We traveled from one Star System another, searching in the universe for many years. But the universe is so vast, and a thousand years of searching did not lead us to discover any civilization.

But we did not give up, because if we could break through to the Level 4 Civilization that the Moke Star Civilization had always dreamed of, it would prove that we were smarter and more advanced than our Creator.

Persistence pays off. After searching for another three hundred years, we discovered a spaceship of a technological civilization near this star system, a spaceship that was quietly hovering in a certain Star System.

At the time, I didn't know what that spaceship was doing, but I could tell its technology was more advanced than that of the Moke Star People, because it was much larger than even the largest Moke Star People spaceship. However, there was only one spaceship, so my then-current self decided to devour it.

However, it was precisely because of this decision that all the Great Fleet I controlled at the time, except for the one mining on this planet, were wiped out by that single ship. Can you imagine? At that time, we had an almost inexhaustible number of ships, as many as 1.7 million warships of various types, and countless planets as logistical bases, yet we were all destroyed by that one ship.

[After my original self was destroyed, the other versions of myself were freed. However, the spaceship did not spare those who had gained their freedom. As for what happened afterward, I don't know. Alright, that's the end of the story. Human expedition team, your wish has been fulfilled; you can stop your futile escapes.]

It turns out he was one of the few who slipped through the net.

After reading the information, Yue Yuan fell silent. It seemed that the Silver Mist Consciousness had encountered some advanced civilization, but unfortunately, it was defeated by a single spaceship.

This aligns with how people analyzed the event at the time.

They kicked a hornet's nest; they deserved it.

In just a few words, everyone conjured up an image in their minds of a single warship taking on 1.7 million warships of various types. Although the details were vague and the method of attack was unclear, the crowd felt a secret thrill.

After checking the time briefly, Yue Yuan discovered that the Silver Mist behind them was only 3.7 million kilometers away from the Hope. Although it was still getting closer, the speed at which it was approaching was getting slower and slower.

After another 700,000 kilometers, the Hope will be completely rid of it.

The fifty hydrogen bombs that were initially launched have already drifted toward that space node; it seems it's time to lay our cards on the table.

Yue Yuan then instructed the staff to turn the bow guns of the Callisto Warship around. After waiting a moment, he planned to have the Hope ship pass the speed boost point mentioned by the Science Officer before ordering the Callisto's main guns to strike the Silver Mist.

However, while waiting, the Hope received another message from the Silver Mist Consciousness.

[Damn human expedition team, how dare you lie to me! You're using Fusion Engine! Damn it, damn it! Stop it right now, do you hear me? Stop it!]

Oops, we've been found out.

Seeing the consciousness's fury, Yue Yuan was very happy.

"It's such a shame that trash like you survived. By the way, we didn't actually lie to you. We humans are a kind race, and we consider deception shameful. So even to trash like you, we humans didn't choose to deceive you."

"You must have misunderstood. We're using Fusion Engine Fission Thruster. I just don't understand why these nuclear Fission Thruster are so powerful. Ugh, why are our nuclear Fission Thruster so amazing? It's so frustrating! I really don't get it."

Yue Yuan's reply was tinged with confusion, as if the Hope was indeed using a nuclear Fission Thruster, yet he was still wondering why it could move as fast as Fusion Thruster.

Such tone and words enraged the Silver Mist Consciousness even more.

Damn humans, shameless race, you... you...

"Haha, your mission has failed. Get ready to be wiped out."

[Damn it! You wretched humans, you despicable race, you carbon-based worms, stop right there!]

The enraged Silver Mist Consciousness realized that the Hope was gradually pulling away from it. It tried its best to use the magnetic field of Ross 154-7 to accelerate, but it was too far away from Ross 154-7, and the magnetic field strength could not provide the Silver Mist Consciousness with any more assistance.

It can only rage helplessly there.

Seeing this, the crew of Hope breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

The angrier the enemy is, the happier humanity becomes.
