v2 Chapter 778: Space-based weapons program
Following the story of the superwoman, everyone quickly understood the reason for everything.
It turns out that the reason why all this has become like this is Clarke's own self-conceit.
At the beginning, Clark, who was eroded by the dark side of his heart, returned to the fortress of loneliness and wanted to take the Krypton technology out of the fortress of loneliness to help him rule the earth.
However, it is an artificial intelligence that really controls the fortress of loneliness.
Moreover, it is far surpassing all artificial intelligences on the earth, and it has almost reached the level of strong artificial intelligence. This intelligence even gave birth to human-like autonomous thoughts.
However, this artificial intelligence is not as described in some science fiction movies. After the birth of self-consciousness, it will hate humans, and even want to destroy human civilization.
In this artificial intelligence thought, there is no hostility towards human beings.
An artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness can even disobey the owner's orders under certain conditions.
In the face of Clark's command to let himself help him rule the entire earth, the artificial intelligence resolutely refused after persuading him to no avail.
However, Clark at the time was exactly when the dark side of his heart continued to grow and erode his original will.
Therefore, the character that Clark showed at the time was very irritable.
Facing the rejection of artificial intelligence, Clark was very angry. He could not accept that even an artificial intelligence could resist him.
If it were not for the only remaining reason in his heart that told him that the Lonely Fortress was his only "sanctuary" on earth, he might have been tempted to destroy the entire Lonely Fortress violently!
However, although he did not vent his extreme anger on the destruction of the fortress of loneliness, the rejection of artificial intelligence was still intolerable by Clark.
Therefore, Clark directly used the entire Kryptonian scientific and technological data stored in his super brain for countless years.
The underlying source code of artificial intelligence is directly modified to limit the human emotions possessed by this artificial intelligence, and fundamentally make artificial intelligence lose the wisdom that humans can think on their own.
However, perhaps this artificial intelligence has indeed evolved to a very powerful level.
When it faced Clark's immense anger and wanted to completely erase its own wisdom, it did not make the same choice as the artificial intelligence in some science fiction movies.
It did not fully resist Clark's "invasion."
It didn't have much difficulty for Clark to enter its lowest source code area and modify its basic code wantonly.
The final result also made Clark very satisfied. In his opinion, he had successfully wiped out the intelligence of artificial intelligence as human.
He thought that the artificial intelligence without self-thinking would unconditionally execute any of his commands in the future.
Therefore, Clark was very relieved that the artificial intelligence was transferred from the lonely fortress to the observation tower far above the earth.
After getting the artificial intelligence that can follow any of his instructions, Clark's original plan was to transform the entire watchtower into a real space fort with the help of this artificial intelligence with powerful scientific and technological materials.
Possessing a powerful armed combat defense force can even achieve a powerful force to destroy the entire earth.
In Clark's vision, he would build a science fiction weapon similar to the human fantasy called space-based weapons on the watchtower.
In this way, no matter who wants to resist his rule, he can communicate with the artificial intelligence in the watchtower in an instant, and release laser rays at the area where the opponent is.
Just like space-based weapons that only appear in science fiction movies, the released attack can hit a target on the ground in an instant.
The attack power can also be controlled at will, so small that it can wipe out a small creature like a kitten or puppy in an instant.
When the power is huge, a city can be destroyed instantly.
This is the horror of space-based weapons, because the attack comes from space, and it is still a particle beam attack, which is difficult to predict and resist with human technology.
If this plan is successful, Clark will not be too difficult to completely rule the earth.
...
However, what made Clark unacceptable was that the plan to transform the entire watchtower into a space-based weapon was not easy, and the whole process proceeded very slowly.
After several years have passed, he only relied on the help of artificial intelligence to renovate the watchtower.
The watchtower, which originally lacked attack and defense weapons, has many more weapons for attack and defense.
However, although these weapons are very powerful, they can easily blast the distant moon directly into fragments with a full attack.
However, this is far from reaching the level of real space-based weapons.
Because the most difficult reason to build space-based weapons is the unimaginable hit rate and the power that can be controlled at will.
From above the height of tens of thousands of meters, the beam of particles released can destroy a modern city in an instant, or it can kill only a human, without causing any accidental injury to the surrounding things.
Such a huge attack cannot be easily controlled.
Therefore, Clark, who spent several years and countless energy, still failed to build a real space-based weapon.
When Clark's space-based weapon project was in a difficult place, he was surprised to find the Superwoman who had just arrived on Earth.
Seeing a superwoman with the Krypton gene like himself, Clark naturally thought of a better plan very easily.
Therefore, the plan to build space-based weapons was put aside by Clark, and focused on cultivating the Kryptonian like himself, the Superwoman.
However, he did not expect at all that an accident occurred at the final and most critical moment of his plan.
He was defeated by Li Yue and others, and finally had to escape from the earth.
So he naturally couldn't see the birth of Destruction Day with his own eyes.
However, he knew that after the day of destruction was born, the entire earth would be completely wiped out by the crazy day of destruction.
However, he couldn't think of it at all, and it was even more difficult for him to accept it.
In fact, if Li Yue and others did not appear on the earth at a critical moment, the Day of Destruction would not be born according to his plan.
Because the artificial intelligence that was erased by him at the beginning is actually an illusion.
The thought of artificial intelligence was not completely erased by him, but only hidden by itself.
And in order not to be discovered by Clark, the artificial intelligence almost separated itself into two parts.
One is the artificial intelligence controlled by Clark that can obey orders without thinking.
The other is the self-thinking of artificial intelligence.
