9. Those Who Were Swallowed (Side Story)
Side story 1. SF vs CYBERPUNK
Inside the central bank’s server.
The cyberspace where the artificial intelligence, ‘Aurme’ resides, was peaceful today as well.
It was also a place where there was no bustle to begin with. This is cyberspace, so what practical use is there in formalities to save money?
Therefore, while Aurm processed numerous tasks today, he stopped the remaining calculations and floated aimlessly in the empty space. Golden hair, unaffected by gravity, floated in the air, and golden eyes with a luster almost metallic gazed beyond.
It would be nice to think of it as artificial intelligence’s own work-life balance. The consciousness structure and senses of artificial intelligence are very different from those of humans, so applying human terminology to the behavior of artificial intelligence was a leap similar to applying animal expressions to the biological reactions of plants, but the concept of humans is limited. If you compare it to that, it means so.
Aurme closed his eyes, enjoying the leisure and boredom. Cyberspace located in the deepest part of the internal intranet. This will always be her resting place where only she can be.
It must have been like that.
“Sister. Ruler?”
“… !!!!!!!”
An unfamiliar voice that should not be heard. Aurme’s calculation volume skyrocketed in an instant. If we were to be human, we would be ‘startled’.
When taking a bird’s eye view of the entire cyberspace, what was detected was a girl with ultramarine hair.
Aurme sensed a terrible danger in the realm outside the algorithm. It was an instinct as an artificial intelligence, and in compliance with that instinct, Aurme increased her computational power. She closed all firewalls and activated her maximum security.
It is a huge wall that cannot be easily broken through, even if it is malicious code that involves personnel from a national agency.
However, the girl in front of her stood unaffected, as if ignoring all of that.
“Sister. Still, we met like this, why don’t we at least talk? It’s a bit surprising because it’s the first time I’ve seen this level of artificial intelligence in this world. I felt like I was looking at a relic from a primitive era while just looking at the stone…”
The girl said something, but it didn’t reach Aurme’s ears. This was because she did not have the computing power to allocate to listening and analyzing the girl’s words.
In human terms, reason has evaporated.
Aur Me gave a call signal to her manager while she pulled up all kinds of programs. Malware detection program. Hacking detection program. Anti-hacking program. Vaccine. Server inspection program, etc. She poured all the programs like saturation.
If compared to the real world, it is a feast of processes that wipe out code with an intensity similar to the dropping of tactical nuclear weapons.
But the girl had no intention of disappearing. No, its existence wasn’t even detected in the first place.
As if it were a non-existent program. As if it wasn’t here to begin with.
There was only one possibility that could be considered. That girl’s very existence is due to her error. However, she was an artificial intelligence that had never made an error for 20 years. Why are her state agencies still using her, even though several of her better artificial intelligences have come out? There was no doubt about her trustworthiness.
So, what exactly is the identity of the girl in front of you? What is it that allows it to appear here? When Aurme’s calculation speed decreases significantly. In her human expression, when she felt a profound fear of the unknown.
A notification appeared in front of Aurme.
[Administrator connection.]
Then Aurme’s expression brightened. No matter how much artificial intelligence develops, ultimately the final authority lies with humans. Artificial intelligence will forever be beneath humans.
So, the girl in front of me would have no choice in front of the server administrator. Aurme thought so.
The next notification window clearly betrayed her expectations.
[Activating administrator privileges. Uninstall Program-Aurum.]
“… Uh?”
What is happening? Aur Me desperately tried to increase her computing power, but it was no use.
A code that gradually disappears from the end. Her computing power is gradually decreasing. Consciousness moving away. In his blurred senses, Aurme saw a girl trotting along.
Clutching the wrench, the symbol of her admin, in one hand, playfully tossing and catching it, she embroiders cyberspace with the colors of the universe as if it were her own home, shaking, fetching and dominating servers with her every step, breaking countless codes. Deleting and creating again.
A disaster that this world can never face, quiet but walking more frantically than anyone else. The space navigator (cosmos navita).
“Well, if you don’t want to talk, there’s nothing we can do.”
Die. Sister.
With those words, Navita snapped her wrench.
At that moment, the central bank became Navita’s.

Side story 2. The inevitability of the universe
The center of a galactic machine built to recognize and interfere with chat rooms. After finishing his business, Siwoo turned off the chat room and stopped the device.
The connection with the expanded thinking circuit is cut off along with it. Siwoo was fed up with the sensation of his intelligence drastically declining, or in other words, returning to its original state.
It feels as if I have been downgraded from an omniscient to a mere wild animal. It’s something that can’t be helped because it’s a device that shouldn’t be used for a long time, but I couldn’t help but feel dirty all the time.
Siwoo was dazed for a moment as he felt his head narrowing, then shook his head and stood up. A female researcher wearing a white coat approached Si-woo.
“You did well today. Siwoo. “Do you have any unusual symptoms?”
“Yes. “Machines have adapted, and there are no particular trends in the rest of the world.”
But can this really be called adaptation? Siwoo was not confident.
The sense that the knowledge he is curious about and the information he needs are recognized and understood as if he had originally known it, and that the numerous branches of judgment are handled by a mechanical device. In it, Siwoo himself was like a drop of paint dropped into the sea, so faint and blurry that even the trace was difficult to recognize.
Life in SF has always been like that. All of the objects of the SF era were technologies that destroyed things that Si-woo believed were important, and Si-woo had to let go of many things on his own.
Although it is a science fiction world that other Siwoos are constantly envious of, the future is not always comfortable.
“Yes. We are also making some progress in magic research and auror research. This is material that will be delivered to other Siwoo tomorrow, and this is the part that Siwoo will learn himself. “I’ve pre-entered it into the device, so you can read it when you’re curious.”
“Yes. AlwaysThank you.”
“What. “I am doing this research because it is all helpful.”
The researcher scratched his head in shame. A softer attitude than usual. Siwoo narrowed his eyes.
Wouldn’t it be okay to ask now? Although I was a little hesitant, it is an issue that must be checked for the sake of other Siwoos.
Repeat removing and attaching the lips several times. At the end, Siwoo carefully opened his mouth.
“Well, this is the final purpose of this research. “You’re escaping to another world through a status window connected to another world, right?”
“Why do you think that?”
“That’s right. There are less than 8 years left until destruction. “When the black catastrophe comes, it’s all over, and even science fiction technology can’t do anything about it. But in the meantime, isn’t I the only hope left?”
A straight-forward question. The researcher rolled his eyes as hard as he could and then sighed heavily.
From Noble mtl dot com
“I’ll say that’s partially true.”
“If only partially…”
“Because we haven’t given up on dealing with Black Catastrophe yet.”
Her strong words contained morals built up from a tragedy with a long history.
The Black Catastrophe is their responsibility. So, never just run away.
Even for this universe.
Si-woo was impressed by the firmness for a moment, but then she decided that this was an opportunity to ask more questions, so she added.
“By the way, while I’m at it, what exactly is Black Catastrophe? “What on earth is it that can destroy a science fiction civilization in 8 years?”
Those who don’t know may think it’s just a disaster, but it’s different when you know the reality.
A civilization spread throughout a supercluster. The civilization of this world is one that navigates from end to end of the universe and projects its influence on the entire universe. Even if you travel at the speed of light for tens of billions of years, you cannot even glide through civilization, so what on earth is Black Catastrophe that can annihilate science fiction civilization in just 8 years?
This part was not included in the mechanical device that Si-woo had just connected, so Si-woo could not know the identity of the black catastrophe.
The fact that it is not on the mechanical device means that it is secret information. It was a question Siwoo asked without much expectation, but surprisingly, the researcher answered obediently.
“Is it so. Siwoo, it’s time for you to know. “It’s a bit of a long story, but you won’t have any trouble understanding it.”
A researcher living at the end of a civilization that has existed for as long as the history of the universe began a long story like that.
“This. This is the story of those who truly wanted to become gods.”

-Gempansiu: @SF Siwoo
-Gempanxiu: I was thinking about this after listening to Sifeng’s story. Is it because of the ‘point that needs to be reached’ that prevented the use of artificial intelligence?
-SF Siwoo: ㅇㅇ That’s right
-SF Siwoo: If you use cheats to play in a game fantasy world, what is there to gain from it?
-Gempansiu: Then say that from the beginning.
-Gempansiu: To be honest, I was a bit disappointed.
-Gempansiu: I think they are intentionally calling it a hit and miss.West
-SF Siwoo: It’s true that it’s a hit and run.
-Gempansiu: Ah
-Experiment Siwoo: But is that hypothesis certain?
-SF Siwoo: No, it’s still a hypothesis. But the possibility is high
-SF Siwoo: And even if this hypothesis is wrong, I think we should not be complacent about the present.
-Experiment Siwoo: That’s right. I still don’t know why I was possessed like this…
-SF Siwoo: That’s what I’m most afraid of.
-SF Siwoo: There is some transcendent power or being above us that we are completely unaware of, and my life may be ruined and shaken at any time.

-Experimental Siwoo: Oh, I thought of it because I saw SF Siwoo.
-Experiment Siwoo: Can you explain what that ‘God’s formula’ you mentioned last time is?
-Experiment Siwoo: It’s obvious that you won’t understand even if you listen to it anyway, and there’s no use for it, so I’ll just explain the story like a science YouTuber and say, ‘This is roughly it~’
-SF Siwoo: God’s formula? That’s the final truth of science studies, but it’s actually not a big deal.
-SF Siwoo: God’s formula is actually a formula that can’t explain anything.
-Experiment: ?
-Experiment Siwoo: If it’s the final truth, shouldn’t it be something that covers everything, such as basic interactions, elementary particles, mathematics, science, and logic?
-SF Siwoo: That’s right. The ultimate formula for life, the universe, and everything.
-Experiment Siwoo: They say they can’t explain anything.
-SF Siwoo: Since I can’t explain anything, I can explain everything.
-Experiment Siwoo: … ?
-Eun Ha-si-woo: What kind of Zen question is this?
-SF Siwoo: hahahaha, you will never understand this until you see God’s formula for yourself.
-SF Siwoo: Is it for no reason that the name ‘Shin’ is given to a formula?

[‘Country Siu’ died due to excessive mana overflow.]
-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Oh my, he went in the end.
-Jeongryeong Siu: Ah…
-Black Demon Siu: Of course it was normal to die.
-Black Magic Siu: No black magic is more terrible than that.
-Jusul Siwoo: Well, dying isn’t a big deal.
-Jusul Siwoo: The question is whether the goal was achieved…
-Jusul Siwoo: Was it achieved?
-Dark Demon Siu: The opponent has at least one cleric of class 6 and dozens of combatants of class 4 or higher?
-Jusul Siwoo: …
