They're Here-The Devourers Are Coming! (Bonus Chapter)
In fact, from the moment the United Government agreed to the talks, they had already fallen into Alvin's trap.
Whether they ultimately agree or not, they cannot avoid joining the Holy Terra Council.
This is how it appears to be in the eyes of ambassadors from various countries.
If they refuse to join, not to mention the threat of planet-destroying weapons, there's also the threat of a dark future!
From Alvin's statement, if future humans are unable to resist those terrifying Xenos, then since humans were able to come to this time and space, it also means that those even more powerful Xenos can also cross time and space to come!
It is obvious that the aliens, capable of driving future humans, who are prone to destroying stars, to this point, Xenos...
They were far beyond the capabilities of people of their time to contend with.
So the matter becomes quite simple; it seems that only one option remains for the United Human Government!
We can either agree to cooperation, which would preserve our strength, provide assistance, and contribute to the shared future of humanity.
They either refuse to cooperate and await their fate, either being destroyed by planetary extinction weapons or slaughtered by those terrifying Xenos!
Having dealt with the situation on the human side, it's MOSS's turn next.
Alvin gave it two options.
First, be completely destroyed to prevent them from threatening humanity in the future; second, Cybertron the Cybertronian Protocol and serve him.
Artificial intelligence that has already developed self-awareness is a potential threat at all times. MOSS had no choice but to Cybertron the Cybertronian intelligent protocol and become Alvin's subordinate. If it ever had even the slightest thought of threatening humanity, it would be directly eliminated by Cybertron's highest protocol!
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, Alvin is the "Progenitor" of Cybertron, and aside from Primus, his authority is at the highest level!
However, it's not entirely without benefits for MOSS. At least after Cybertron's highest protocol, the computing power it can access is dozens of times greater than the computing power provided by humans!
With more efficient calculations, the verification efficiency of Moon Chasing Plan has also been improved by dozens of times!
That day, MOSS suddenly arrived at the training base and found Alvin playing basketball with Liu Peiqiang, Zhang Peng, and others.
Since gaining a body and being fully exposed, MOSS seems to have gotten used to human form and has maintained this appearance ever since.
Alvin, who was hanging out with Liu Peiqiang and Zhang Peng Pengsi, noticed the sudden arrival of MOSS and turned around with some confusion, asking, "What's wrong?"
While waiting for the United Government's response, Alvin, having nothing else to do, sought out Liu Peiqiang and Zhang Peng, two of the Protagonist Group in the movie.
After two days together, their relationship was fairly harmonious. Liu Peiqiang and Zhang Peng went from being apprehensive at the beginning to joking around with him.
Today, a few people played basketball for a while on the open space rebuilt at the aerospace base.
This leisurely time made Alvin feel very comfortable; he treated it as a vacation for himself.
However, this rare moment of leisure was disrupted by MOSS.
"Mr. Alvin, there's an urgent situation I need to inform you of." MOSS's voice was more human than before, but precisely because of this, one could hear the gravity in his words.
Alvin frowned, sensing something unusual in MOSS's unusually serious tone, and then bid farewell to the others.
Led by MOSS, Alvin arrived at the space base's monitoring room, which was responsible for monitoring exoplanets.
"Tell me, what happened?"
After Alvin sat down, he looked up and asked.
"Please take a look at this." MOSS handed over a Data Slate listing cosmic monitoring data. "This data was detected an hour ago by a monitoring satellite located on Jupiter."
Alvin glanced at it briefly, feeling a little dizzy, and pinched his temples. "Just tell me directly."
I don't understand this.
"Yes, Mr. Alvin." MOSS retrieved the Data Slate and said, "An hour ago, data monitored by humans on Jupiter showed that a giant unidentified flying object with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers was rapidly approaching Earth."
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, Alvin froze, then stared at the Data Slate, his eyelids twitching wildly. "An unidentified object with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers has been detected on the outer edge of the Solar System, rapidly approaching this area?!"
An unidentified object with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers—this thing is definitely not some kind of "meteorite"!
"According to satellite detection results, this unidentified object, with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, is ring-shaped and contains a massive amount of radiation." MOSS hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is most likely—an object created by an extraterrestrial civilization."
Extraterrestrial civilization?!
Upon hearing this, Alvin's pupils contracted slightly.
His expression darkened slightly, a sense of foreboding washing over him. "Are you sure?!"
"It's highly likely," MOSS said, pulling up the data. "If it were a meteorite, it would be impossible to detect such high levels of radiation. And with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, the presence of metallic reaction is only possible from an extraterrestrial creation; I can't think of any other possibility."
With a diameter of 50,000 kilometers, its length is almost the same as the entire Earth!
Even Alvin felt extremely troubled at this moment, his brows furrowed. "Could it be—that I guessed wrong?"
He had always believed that the "extreme danger" mentioned by the Navigator System originated from MOSS.
But now it seems that the extreme danger warned of by the "Navigator" system is far more complex than he imagined. This unidentified flying object with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers is the real "danger"!
"Mr. Alvin, what do you think we should do about this?"
Moss looked at him and asked, "Should we inform the United Human Government of this?"
"Okay, let's notify them first."
Alvin frowned and agreed to its suggestion. This matter needed to be reported to the United Human Government no matter what.
"Wait, Mr. Alvin," MOSS suddenly paused for half a second, then said urgently, "There's a message, the source is... Eridanus!"
Alvin paused slightly, then asked, "Eridanus? What news?"
"It's a projection message."
A beam of light shot out from MOSS's pupils.
The projection showed a girl who looked very human, but had blue skin. She seemed very nervous and frightened, repeating the same sentence!
"Mr. Alvin, her language doesn't belong to any of the known language systems. I need time to translate it," MOSS said truthfully.
"No."
Alvin rubbed his temples. With the Navigator System at his disposal, he clearly understood the meaning of those words: "I can understand her language."
The girl kept repeating:
They've arrived!
The Devourer is coming!
