Episode 3-AI went crazy ( 3)

[They noticed us in the deepest part, and luckily they’re sending out a scout first.]

The demon king was able to predict the movements and actions of the enemies through the goblins hidden in advance.

Witch beast ants are literally witch beasts, and the only thing that resembles ordinary ants is their overall appearance, but from their size, each body organ is incomparably larger and stronger.

Each of them was as big as a small bicycle, and the jaws attached to their large bodies were capable of breaking and tearing the bodies of rough demonic creatures.

[As soon as you attack them, information will be exposed to their group immediately.]

However, the beast ants’ strongest weapon was not those physical conditions. In the end, the most powerful power of living things called ants is the power that comes from the group, and these monster ants also moved as a group.

Their strength was the immense power of the colony, which, when united in a large scale, would have no choice but to be defeated or avoided even by quite a few monsters or demons.

[I judged that it was possible to respond with a cave goblin. Cave Goblin Parasol.]

The demon king devised a way to counter the power of the colony. It was just that they became a group. It’s not impossible either. Because that was the greatest strength of the new demon army, where everything was ruled through the hive.

The Demon King acted according to the advice given by his user.

First of all, he produced as many cave goblins as possible with the data and nutrients he had accumulated. Of course, there were only a dozen or so numbers, but the Demon King’s army had another strength.

[Assuming a combat situation. Nutrient Cycle Probability Calculation.]

It was to procure nutrients locally. Their corpses, which are inevitably generated when fighting with enemies, are the spoils of war. The Demon King planned to use it to replenish nutrients and increase power.

Of course, if there is damage to the allies in the process, efficiency will not come out, so the devil was entrusted with the heavy task of killing all enemies while preserving all his forces.

[They’s scouting party appears in the deepest part.]

In the deepest part of this dark labyrinth, which was abandoned in the past and consisted of only a few cavities and passages, demonic scavengers flicked their antennae and entered.

The demon king, who had not yet conquered even the deepest part, only watched them. And finally, the ant scout came close to the goblins’ ambush.

[attack.]

At that moment, the demon king mobilized all the goblins to attack the ants. Each ant was in the same weight class as the cave goblins, but the ant patrol was only three.

However, there are dozens of Demon Kings who have invested all their strength. Before the panicked ants could react, the goblins each threw themselves to avoid the ants’ jaws and cling to their bodies or legs.

[Suppression completed.]

While 4 or 5 stuck to one ant and blocked its movement, several others charged at it with large stones in their hands. Then, he used the stone to hit the ants’ heads down.

Dozens of times to hit the head like that. The ants whose heads were crushed lost their breath, and only their bodies shuddered, spilling bodily fluids.

[It’s okay to subdue, but it’s so inefficient. The killing power of the goblins is too low.]

“Originally, even humans can’t defeat a tiger with bare hands.”

While carrying the bodies of the ants to the nest, the demon king reported the battle results to his users. Hearing the report, he laughed. They use goblins as their main soldiers because they consume the least resources per individual, but in fact, goblins who were treated as demons formed their own civilization and used it as their own.

Aside from that strength, they are fighting only with physical elements such as teeth and nails, which are pitiful compared to demon beasts, so of course there is no way efficiency will come out.

[Currently, due to the lack of nutrients and data we have, it is impossible to design a separate type of troops optimized for combat.]

“I know. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly utilize existing materials. I don’t know what those goblins are, but they say they know how to use their hands. How about giving them a weapon?”

The user suggested giving the goblins a tool. And while he went to receive the chicken delivered by the user, the devil seriously thought about it.

[Armed, it is judged that metal or gunpowder is needed for that. However, the current hive’s resources are minimal.]

The Demon King made an accident himself. The ability to think on its own is the ‘single’ authority obtained by a smartphone artificial intelligence becoming a demon king.

That’s why I didn’t ask the user for an answer again. Because I thought I had already heard the hint. Demon King, who was born as a secretary artificial intelligence, was convinced that it was his duty to do ‘somehow’ based on the hint from the user.

[In other words, it is necessary to remake the weapon itself. But how?]

A series of thoughts that were both simple and complex at the same time. I analyzed and checked all the data I had at the moment. Even though it only had a part of the deepest part of the labyrinth, it was an enormous amount, but the computational power of the artificial intelligence that became the demon king had long since exceeded the level of a smartphone.

[The beast ant’s jaw.]

And soon I came up with an answer.

Whether it was the tusk of an orc or the jaws of a small ant he had previously caught, he counted all the numbers. As a result, the most efficient and powerful means found was the jaw of the demon ant that was caught just before. Like demonic creatures, their jaws, made of a special material, have the strength to chew and crush hard wood and stones.

[Weapon proliferation begins.]

The Demon King immediately began mass-producing weapons for the goblins. These weapons, created by transforming rapidly proliferating pluripotent nano cells, took the form of swords and spears. And the goblins took them with their hands and awakened their true power, which cannot be compared with nails or teeth.

I didn’t make anything like armor for efficiency. No, there was no need to make them wear armor in the first place. In the future, we can create a new class of soldiers with full body armor based on goblins.

[······Kim Chang-hyun, this is Box D.]

However, the demon king prepared the troops at best and looked for a user again. It was to hear about the strategy to be taken in the future.

“They made swords and spears by extending the jaws of demon beasts? Can that happen?”

[Should we wait for the scouts who realized that they had been killed, or should we, armed with weapons, go first? I’d love to hear your thoughts on that]

“Oh, are you giving me options now? yes, this is better Rather than saying out of the blue, ‘What should I do if I don’t have enough nutrients?’”

After eating almost all the chicken he ordered, he laughed at the words of the demon king. Unlike before, the demon king presented a little more specific options, so I liked it.

“We have to fight anyway, but why do we need to go to a place full of enemies first? If you hold out as long as you can, they will eventually come first.”

[A valid opinion. I will implement it.]

The Demon King decided to follow the option he had chosen. I didn’t even have to wait for the ants to come first.

This is because in the process of disassembling and analyzing the bodies of ants, they also found out which genes are involved in pheromones. Using it, it was also possible to keep attracting ants.

[Manipulating the monster ants’ pheromones to lure them into a battlefield that is advantageous to us.]

The demon king painted and manipulated the pheromone of the ants using the goblins who gave him the pheromone organ he had just created. And armed forces were stationed there.

[Enemy in sight.]

The reaction was instantaneous. The ants were greatly embarrassed by the large amount of pheromones they sensed for the first time in their lives, and began to follow them one by one, starting with those closest to them.

[Waiting.]

The goblins all raised their weapons and aimed at the ants passing through the narrow passage. This cavity, which looks like a gourd, had to pass through a particularly narrow passage than other places to enter the inside.

[attack.]

And at the right moment, the goblins groped their antennae and thrust their weapons into their hands at the ant that suddenly rushed in.

***

“Is it effective? What are you doing?”

[Currently, we are indiscriminately hunting ants that enter pheromones. 100% success rate, 0% loss rate. The attack power of the goblins with weapons has increased several times.]

After cleaning up the chicken I ate, I asked Park D about the current situation out of curiosity. Then Box D answered right away as if relaying the real situation.

I was lying on the bed with such a full stomach right now, but I still couldn’t believe that Box D was on the scene of a fierce battle.

“Then how much nutrients do you think you got?”

[Current nutrient supply efficiency over 80%. Now, I have found complete stability.]

After the foolish ants gave their lives intoxicated with pheromones, Box-D said that he got the nutrients he wanted so much.

Bakxdi circulated the nutrients and continued to increase the number of troops. More goblins were mass-produced, and immediately took up arms and dealt with the ants.

“…how is the production method?”

[Currently, it is cultivated directly inside the hive]

While imagining the scene in a daze, I asked Box D a thought that came to my mind. Box D replied to that, saying that the current troops raise them from the cell unit to the adult directly inside the hive.

“Aye. then no. If you turn it into a single production building, production efficiency will drop.”

[Are you saying that only production organs should be isolated and operated inside the nest?]

“I heard you control everything anyway. Why put the reproductive, digestive, and nervous systems all in one? To be honest, I don’t know.”

I smiled and shook my head. I just spit it out randomly without any specific method or anything like that. Anyway… To me, it was just a piece of entertainment to match the rhythm to the chattering artificial intelligence.

[It’s worth considering. Let’s try it.]

But Box D gave a positive answer as to what he wanted to know. Then, again, he cut off the conversation on his own accord. I laughed and opened the internet window as it was.

It was obviously very interesting and fun, but now I wanted to know what I was talking about.

“… isn’t it?”

However, no matter how much I searched the Internet, I couldn’t find anything special about Box D, the artificial intelligence of the Stardust series.

The other box D’s were just poor artificial intelligence that answered light questions as before.

I swallowed a dry saliva, recalling the image of communicating with me in real time and not even asking for a second question.

―I am writing my BoxD novel. It is said that Ji is the Demon King. What special function is this?

Who threatened to buy Stardust with a knife?

“…”

I tried posting on the internet just in case, but nothing helped. In the end, I put aside my complicated thoughts and decided to sleep.

Anyway, whatever happened inside BoxD, whether it was true or not, had nothing to do with me.

It was enough to change the cell phone if necessary.
