1779. The origin of Geth
"Chiss..." Palpatine pondered for a moment, "If I remember correctly, Sefrans-Tann is also Chiss."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our contact with Chiss was not pleasant. They were very afraid of our arrival... However, we found an exiled Chiss on a barren planet with no large colonies. The captain of the exploration team brought him back."
"Then start with Chiss and see if we can find information about the source of Dawn Star Planet's mysterious technology. As for the exiled Chiss, entertain him well and dig out everything he knows!" Palpatine said.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
"You have to remember that Unknown Regions's investigation is crucial. No matter what, I need an answer!"
"As you wish... my lord..."
[Geth was originally a mechanical servant produced by Quarian, a civilized race living in Unknown Regions. Quarian has a small population, so Geth is widely used as a labor force and even the military. They are indeed worried that Geth may escape control, so they have many restrictions on Geth. The core program of Geth is VI rather than AI.]
[As a VI individual, Geth does not have extremely high intelligence like AI. On the contrary, Geth can only work according to the simplest and most direct commands. In order to make better use of Geth, Quarian endows Geth with collective computing capabilities - when there is only one Geth unit, the intelligence of Geth is only equivalent to a beast with only instinct. But if more complex work is needed, Quarian will network more Geth to enhance the computing power of Geth, allowing Geth to perform more complex actions.]
[However, as Geth is used more and more widely, more and more Geth are connected to the network. Before Quarian knew it, a large number of Geth who were connected to the Internet began to awaken their self-awareness. And as the contact with Quarian increased, Geth became more curious about life, and they began to actively ask Quarian about the meaning of life...]
[At this time, Quarian discovered that Geth had given birth to advanced intelligence beyond their expectations. Philosophical questions such as the meaning of life cannot be asked by a machine that only has programmed operations. Quarian, who had been worried about Geth's rebellion, took an extreme step. They believed that Geth would definitely rebel, so they wanted to shut down the core processor of Geth.]
[But this behavior aroused resistance from Geth, and the two sides launched a full-scale confrontation called 'Dawn War'. Yet of this war, all but its name and outcome have been erased and no one knows. All we know is that Quarian completely failed in this war and was eventually exterminated by Geth, disappearing forever in the history of the galaxy.]
Gillard-Perine looked at the holographic projection data in front of him solemnly, and said to Dunn-Vesex who was sitting on the sofa behind the desk, "Is this the origin of Geth? Very rough information. But it at least explains the origin of Geth and why they have such a strange shape - because from this information, Quarian is designed to look like Geth based on their appearance and traditional clothing style."
"This is a piece of information given to His Majesty the Emperor by Dawn Star Planet's Grand Duke Tang Xiao. He wants to use it to prove that Geth has nothing to do with him." Dunn-Vesex sneered, "But we all know that he is lying."
"But although this intelligence is rough, it contains a lot of useful information." Gillard-Perine said, "First of all, it shows that Geth is derived from the VI system rather than AI... Secondly, it also shows that a single individual Geth does not actually have high intelligence, but if a large number of individuals are combined, then the intelligence of Geth is quite terrifying."
"Intelligence Department believes that on some unknown planet, Geth has a super-intelligent network composed of countless individuals. There is probably the most Core Worlds of Geth. As long as we can destroy it, we can also destroy Geth." Dunn-Vesex said.
"But what I don't quite understand is... if Geth is really the race brought out by Tang Xiao to pose a threat to us, then why would he tell us such important information? You know, if he Not to mention, we don't know how long it will take to reach such a conclusion by capturing Geth on the battlefield." Gillard-Perine said with a frown.
"This shows that Tang Xiao is also afraid of Geth." Dunn-Vesex said coldly.
"Indeed..." Gillard-Perine mused, "Judging from Geth's action style, they are likely to be the common enemy of organic life. You must know that organic life and inorganic life have completely different needs for living environment... Geth can completely accept the entire galaxy being reduced to ruins, but Tang Xiao cannot accept this result."
"I have asked my scientific team to find a way to use VI technology to implement a model of Geth network... After a lot of simulations, try to get close to the truth of Geth. And you need to manage the defense line for me." Dunn-Vesex said.
"Okay..." Gillard-Perine was thoughtful and suddenly murmured, "I am suddenly very concerned about a question..."
"You said."
"If Geth was attracted to the Milky Way by Tang Xiao... then, what did he use as bait to make Geth appear in Northern Territory?" Gillard-Perine pondered, "Or... it's not a bait, it's... a condition?"
When he heard the word condition, Dunn-Vesex was also shocked!
Because if it's a bait, that's okay, but if it's a condition... then the meaning behind it is too terrifying!
"If we can know this... then we may be able to analyze the action patterns of Geth. Once we can grasp their action patterns, we can also deploy our defenses in a targeted manner." Gillard-Perine said.
"No matter what, now I have won the support of His Majesty the Emperor. Next, what you have to do is to arrange this line of defense for me!" Dunn-Vesex said, "Whether it is bait or conditions, I will find a way to find it."
"I understand." Gillard-Perine nodded.
"This is a huge project... The troops and resources put into your hands will be unprecedentedly huge. So you understand why I rejected your application to install the atmosphere modification system for Faida Planet, right?" Dunn-Vesex said.
Gillard-Perine's face darkened, he sighed and nodded again.
