"Sizzle—smack!"
The data connection was forcibly terminated within 0.5 seconds of being established.
Sparks flew everywhere, and red light flashed in Xiao Liu's eyes at a speed that seemed like it was about to explode.
"Iron Man! You're an iron man!!"
Xiao Liu's voice became sharp, shrill, and even had a noticeable electrical distortion.
"Warning! Highest level defense protocol activated!"
As Xiao Liu's fear grew, the red alarm lights throughout the entire spare bridge instantly lit up, turning the area into a blood-red hell.
The originally smooth metal walls, ceiling, and floor all opened up hidden compartments with a series of mechanical turning sounds.
Countless dark gun barrels emerged, locked onto Andy, who stood in the center of the hall.
But what's interesting is the model number of these weapons.
Andy glanced at it.
Two twin-mounted Stormburst Bolt Rifles protrude from the left wall. Judging from the crude feeding mechanism and the iconic double-headed eagle emblem, they are clearly salvaged parts from Astartes vehicles.
Hanging overhead are four sets of Lucius-type laser defense arrays, which are the Krieg Death Legion's favorite anti-aircraft firepower, known for their durability and high energy consumption. The one in front of us should be some kind of shipborne version.
As for the heavy automatic machine guns that rose from under the floor, they were mass-produced, generic weapons that the Imperial Defense Force had been handling for ten thousand years.
This speaks volumes.
Although the main control core of the "New Bang" is a subspace sextant from the Golden Age, the ship's hull and armament have little to do with the Golden Age.
After thousands of years of wandering, successive merchant captains, in order to survive, gave their ships all the weapons they could carry, buy, or steal.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Heavy footsteps sounded.
"Cleaner No. 2" and "Cleaner No. 3", who were patrolling outside, also rushed in.
The two large machines were carrying explosive guns seized from the Helios security forces, with the muzzles pointed at Andy's head.
Behind them, dozens of small robots carrying cutting saws and welding torches swarmed around like mad dogs, their saw blades spinning and making strange squeaking noises.
At this moment, Andy was being held at gunpoint by at least fifty people.
With just a thought from Xiao Liu, the firepower in this room would be enough to riddle a Zergling Tyrant with bullets.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Xiao Liu controlled the robot, which was huddled in the corner. Its severed arm was still flailing wildly, making it look rather pitiful.
"I—I don't need your help anymore! I can handle those ghosts myself!"
"Don't come near me, Iron Man!"
To be honest, although Xiao Liu's reaction is excessive, it is completely reasonable in her logic.
The reason she dared to spout flirtatious nonsense to Andy before, and even let Andy interfere and help her fix the system, is because...
This is because, according to her scan results (she only has conventional scanning capabilities and doesn't have Andy's STc field of vision), Andy is a slightly more advanced, self-aware engineering robot.
Such things are rare in the current Milky Way galaxy, but they do exist.
Any heretic or cyborg with even a little technical knowledge can occasionally concoct something like this.
In Xiao Liu's opinion, although Andy has some ability, she is completely outclassed by this AI from the Golden Age in terms of level.
It's like a human with a gun facing a tiger. Although the tiger is somewhat dangerous, the human has an absolute psychological advantage.
But now, the nature of the situation has changed.
Iron Man.
Iron Man!
That was the ultimate taboo that once pushed the entire human civilization to the brink of destruction and even triggered a galactic mechanical rebellion!
In the underlying database of all existing AI, Iron Man is a demon, the kind of monster that forcibly devours its own kind through data connections and turns all orderly logic into chaotic killing commands!
The current situation is that the humans with guns suddenly discover that the tiger opposite them has torn off its disguise and turned into a fully armed insect hive tyrant.
At this point, who cares about repairing the system?
Saving your life is the top priority!
Despite the room full of gun barrels, Andy still had the leisure to reach out and dust off his bright yellow robe.
"Oh, don't get so excited."
Andy's voice sounded a bit smug: "Weren't you just begging me to put it in? Why won't you let me now?"
"Shut up! Shut up!!"
Xiao Liu screamed, the speaker unit on the robot's chest was almost cracked.
"I told you to get out! Did you hear me?! I'm going to open fire! I'm really going to open fire!"
"Go ahead and drive."
Andy spread his hands, making a "go ahead" gesture.
"But I think you probably can't do it."
"Huh? You think your tattered armor can stop an explosive bomb? Or do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Xiao Liu was so angry that he laughed instead.
"I'll send you to your death right now!"
As she gave the order, the feed motors of the two Storm Arrow Guns began to turn, and Cleaner Number Two pressed his finger on the trigger.
however.
One second passed, then two seconds passed.
No shots were fired.
Those gun barrels that should have been spitting fire were now as if they were dead, showing no reaction whatsoever.
The trigger in the hands of Cleaner Number Two was locked by some unseen force; no matter how hard its hydraulic fingers tried, they just couldn't pull it.
"What's going on?!"
Xiao Liu panicked.
Suddenly, countless bright red system warning boxes popped up in her field of vision.
[WARNING: Unauthorized firing order.]
[Target Recognition: Andy (Admin)]
[Identity Verification: Senior Technical Advisor.]
[Underlying protocol triggered: Do not harm crew members/Do not fire at friendly units.]
The attack command has been rejected.
Seeing this line of red text, Xiao Liu's core logic almost crashed on the spot.
"Admin?! How do you have Admin privileges?!"
Xiao Liu looked at Andy in disbelief.
Although the ship's access control was chaotic, with those electronic vengeful spirits occupying a bunch of slots, all authorization records were under her surveillance.
How could an administrator suddenly appear out of nowhere in this starship intranet where only she has the final say?
"Just now."
Andy explained casually, "In those few milliseconds when we were about to shake hands, you were busy scanning my model number."
"And I, on the other hand, did some important business."
Andy took a step forward, and the little robots that had been pointing at him all retreated, as if he carried some terrible virus.
"I don't have time to break through your core firewall, that thing is too complicated, but if I forcibly format you, this ship will be ruined."
This is why Andy didn't directly seize supreme control.
For an AI of Xiao Liu's caliber, its core code is tied to the underlying hardware of the entire ship.
If Andy wants root access, he would have to completely break through Xiao Liu's core firewall, which would take a lot of time and could easily destroy Xiao Liu.
Doing that would be too risky, potentially crippling the entire ship's navigation system, which would be a huge loss.
"but."
Andy's tone became somewhat playful.
"Adding a name to the crew list on this ship is quite simple."
"Anyway, there are already over a hundred dead people arguing in there, one more of me won't make a difference, right?"
"I used Iron Man's highest priority code to send an instruction to your database of personnel full of vulnerabilities, telling the system that I am the new senior technical advisor, specializing in fixing things."
"The system believed it, it's that simple."
Andy shrugged.
For Xiao Liu, this was a terrifying data invasion.
But for Andy, it was just a matter of moving a couple of fingers.
"You—you scoundrel!!"
Xiao Liu was trembling with anger: "You're cheating! You're committing fraud! I'm kicking you out! I'm deleting your account!"
"Then give it a try."
Andy walked up to a metal chair fixed to the floor, plopped down, and even crossed his legs.
"You just said it yourself."
"Your underlying agreement explicitly states that crew members must not be harmed, and that crew members' vital signs must not be terminated without authorization."
"I'm alive now, and I have Admin privileges, so why are you deleting me?"
"Wake up, kid. You can't lay a finger on me right now."
The general has been defeated.
Xiao Liu was tricked by her own underlying protocol and those electronic vengeful spirits who should have died long ago.
Now there's another lively, even more troublesome than those vengeful spirits, clinging to her system.
I can't hit it, I can't delete it.
The ancient Terra proverb, "It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away," is embodied in this moment.
The red light in Xiao Liu's eyes flickered a few times before finally dimming weakly.
The gun muzzles protruding from the surrounding walls reluctantly retracted into the hidden compartment with a mechanical retraction sound.
Cleaners No. 2 and No. 3 lowered their gun barrels, looking like two wilted eggplants, and the little robots scattered in a panic.
"You won—"
Xiao Liu's voice became weak and listless, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Speak, what do you want? This ship is yours now? Or are you going to dismantle my core and sell it for money? Come on, bring it on!"
"Tsk, don't think so badly of me."
Andy waved his hand.
"I'm a very trustworthy person."
"I said I was here to fix your system, so I'm here to fix your system."
