Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start
Chapter 1195 - Chapter 1195 1152 hymns tricking people

Chapter 1195: 1152, hymns tricking people? Chapter 1195: 1152, hymns tricking people? “How long will the upgrade take?”

As Su Yu asked this question, a bad feeling began to creep into his heart.

“The exact time is uncertain,” AI Blue Whale responded without any emotion. “If it’s fast, a few hours, but if it’s slow, it could take several years.”

“Several years?!”

Su Yu displayed an expression that seemed to say “Are you kidding me?”

A few hours would be bearable, but several years? The war would be over by then! What good would you be?

“Is it really possible that it could take several years?”

“That’s correct.”

“How likely is that to happen? Or do you mean it’s very likely to be completed within a few hours and there’s only a tiny chance it will be delayed for several years?”

“No, Mr. Su, it’s highly likely that it will take several years. ‘Completion within a few hours’ is actually the less likely scenario.”

Having said that, AI Blue Whale showed Su Yu a curve on the sky right in front of him.

The curve chart detailed the probability of the system upgrade completion times, with the highest probability interval being “3-5 years,” where the chance of the system upgrade ending within this time frame was over 50%.

Su Yu gave the curve chart another glance at its beginning.

At the very beginning of the curve chart, the probability that the AI could complete the upgrade within 7 days was a mere 0.01%! Within a month, only 0.04%!

That meant, if the upgrade really began, it was highly probable that Blue Whale wouldn’t complete the upgrade without spending three to five years.

…

Su Yu, with a dark expression, forwarded the curve chart along with the background and consequences of the hymn’s compensation into the “Blue Star Supreme Council” group chat. Inside the group, Chairman Hu Jing, Zhong Feng, Emperor Qin Shi Huang… all the senior leaders of Blue Star saw this message.

After a brief silence, Chairman Hu Jing, busy as he was, was the first to reply, “Isn’t this hymn trying to trap us? If we start the upgrade, the AI system is likely to be unusable? We might as well not upgrade at all!”

Right after, Zhong Feng squeezed time out of his busy schedule to reply, “That’s right, what we need to focus on is winning this war. We cannot accept the AI system being unusable for several years.”

Emperor Qin Shi Huang said, “Young Su Yu, cancel the upgrade. We’ll just act like we didn’t get this compensation.”

Su Yu, “…I’m sorry everyone, it’s too late, Blue Whale has already started the upgrade.”

Chairman Hu Jing, Zhong Feng, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, “…”

…

Of course, Su Yu also realized that upgrading was a bad move; it was completely masochistic.

But just as he sent the information into the group and asked AI Blue Whale to stop the update, AI Blue Whale replied:

“Sorry, the system began upgrading as soon as the hymn’s judgment arrived at Blue Star, and it’s impossible to initiate the termination program. All functions of this system, other than the communication module, will cease in 10 seconds, and any running processes will be saved.”

A 10-second countdown appeared in front of Su Yu – 10, 9, 8, 7… each number flickered by.

Su Yu was powerless to change it.

He kept calling for AI Blue Whale, issuing all kinds of commands.

But these commands were like raindrops lost in the sea; Blue Whale gave no response.

After the 10-second countdown ended, the AI system completely shut down, and the blue glow that had occupied four nodes went completely dark.

As of now, other than the most basic communication module, the AI system for Blue Star Humans had completely failed.

…

“Chairman Hu, the logistics department’s integrated command system has suddenly gone offline!”

“Chairman Hu, the transcontinental teleportation array’s resource distribution system has failed!”

“Chairman Hu, the ‘Seeding Ocean Project’ has lost its signal source!”

“Chairman Hu…”

Soon after, a flood of messages instantaneously “filled up” Chairman Hu Jing’s communication terminal.

The work that AI Blue Whale used to handle was indeed quite substantial. Logistics for the legions, resource distribution in the rear, coordination of the planet’s resources, and even the very important ‘Seeding Ocean Project’… all were under its management.

Now that AI Blue Whale suddenly started upgrading, it was as if it had suddenly stopped working. Naturally, the subordinate departments that did not receive orders went straight to Chairman Hu Jing.

Looking at the communication terminal that instantly increased by several hundred messages, Chairman Hu Jing felt his scalp tingle.

He too had been continuously handling government affairs before, averaging five to six significant events per minute.

But now, the number of incoming messages was rolling at dozens per second! How could he possibly handle them all?

Checking the “Blue Star Supreme Council” group chat during a short break, Chairman Hu saw that no one had spoken.

This incident had occurred so abruptly that it seemed nobody had yet figured out what to do; therefore, no one had rashly spoken in the group chat.

However, the matter was pressing and needed to be dealt with quickly. After thinking a while, Chairman Hu Jing started a discussion in the group, “Is the hymn deliberately targeting us, favoring the Skuru people?”

Get everyone discussing first, discussion is how solutions are found.

Quickly, Zhong Feng began to speak up in the group, “It shouldn’t be possible, right? The hymn governs two massive civilizations across galactic systems and holds sway over 500 billion stars. Such a high-level civilization should maintain impartiality and not intentionally favor one side. The Skrull people should not have the capital to make the hymn favor them, right?”

Prime Minister Cao Cao had not spoken in the group until then because his battle with Pu Langte was not yet over, and he could only glance at the group’s messages occasionally.

He now found a moment to say, “But looking at the current situation, the upgrade of Blue Whale is certainly no good for us.

We might not be able to use the AI system for 3-5 years; even if the upgrade is successful, it won’t benefit this war. Doesn’t it seem like the disadvantages outweigh the benefits?”

Chairman Hu Jing agreed, “The Prime Minister is right, aside from ‘the hymn favoring Skuru people,’ I can’t think of any reasonable explanation at the moment. Unless the hymn has gone crazy?”

Emperor Qin Shi Huang added, “Young Su Yu, you are more familiar with Donna. Maybe you can ask her? She is a Holy Silver Man and surely knows much more about the hymn than we do.”

Su Yu replied, “Alright, I’ll ask Donna right away. But we also need to come up with a plan to deal with this crisis quickly. Chairman Hu, you’ll have to take charge of all logistical work!”

“I’ll do my best…” Looking at the message window that had ballooned to ‘999+’, Chairman Hu Jing knitted his brows in worry.

…

Beeep… Beeep…

The signal from the front line was very unstable. After a series of busy tones, Su Yu finally got through to the phone of Donna, who was in the Imperial Capital of China.

Once the call connected, Su Yu didn’t beat around the bush. He got straight to the point, “Donna, what’s the deal with this compensation from the hymn?”

“What do you mean by ‘what’s the deal’?”

“The compensation from the hymn was to upgrade our Blue Star AI ‘Blue Whale’ from a level one to a level two AI.

The compensation itself isn’t the problem, but upgrading to a level two AI is of no benefit to our war, and the upgrade process could take 3-5 years! We cannot accept that…”

Su Yu succinctly reiterated his point of view.
