Strong artificial intelligence possessed the characteristics of autonomous exploration, learning, and transfer generalization.
Its cognitive abilities were exceptionally powerful, encompassing causal reasoning, abstract thought, and even a degree of self-awareness.
When faced with unfamiliar situations, it could reason independently and devise strategies. In other words, aside from emotions, it was an artificial intelligence highly similar to intelligent life.
Before the last Kona Archon died, they transferred all authority over the home planet, the civilization's databases, war command, and the kindling continuation protocol to Watcher.
From that day onward, the Kona Civilization no longer represented flesh-and-blood life alone.
Under the "kindling continuation act" passed by Kona's final assembly, as long as Watcher remained and the home planet continued to function, the Kona Civilization would not be considered extinct.
Watcher represented the civilization's kindling that had yet to die out on this planet.
It represented the history that had not been deleted from the databases.
It represented the final orders its creators had left before their deaths.
It also represented a civilization with no living people left that still refused to bow to the Demon Clan.
At that moment, in the central hall of the Supercomputing Center, a massive holographic projection of the Kona Home Planet slowly rotated.
Suddenly, a red warning lit up above the holographic projection.
[Unknown electromagnetic broadcast detected.] [Signal source direction: outer satellite orbital region.] [Signal structure: non-Kona format, suspected encoding of an unknown technological civilization.]
Thirty percent of nonessential maintenance threads were temporarily throttled.
Some engineering robots on the surface briefly faltered.
Watcher forcibly diverted more computing power into the deep-space signal analysis sequence.
[Unknown broadcast analysis initiated.] [Mathematical constants matched successfully.] [Element sequence matched successfully.] [Kona wide-area warning broadcast encoding structure matched successfully.] [Language mapping in progress.]
