Planetary Museum

Earth, Qinglan Consulting.

The meeting lasted all night.

People from all walks of life who participated in the consultation meeting came from all over the world, and they took turns to fight according to the time, but Wu Xiaoqing could only be bombarded by them in turn.

At the last meeting, Wu Xiaoqing was almost half asleep and half awake.

The search and rescue team advised him to go back to sleep several times, but Wu Xiaoqing rarely listened.

It's not that Wu Xiaoqing thinks how much first-hand news he can get in these meetings, it's purely a sense of responsibility.

In the previous missions, he was just an executor. No matter how the mission went, for him as an executor, he just had to do his job well.This is the same as Xu Yan - he also accompanied him to listen to it last night, but he couldn't understand. When he started yawning, the search and rescue team asked him to go back to sleep.He didn't have the nerve to go home and sleep, so he found a recliner in the office and fell asleep.

I am still snoring until now, and it seems that the quality of sleep is good.

Wu Xiaoqing was very envious.

Because Wu Xiaoqing used to sleep better than him.

But it’s no longer possible, even if the search and rescue team is still at the helm of the entire mission, Wu Xiaoqing has begun to use the eyes of a decision maker, or Wu Xiaoqing has begun to force himself to look at the entire rescue project with the eyes of a decision maker.

With such thoughts and responsibilities, Wu Xiaoqing would definitely not be able to sleep.

The biggest problem now is not that the progress of the task is too slow, or the possibility of success.

The biggest problem is that the search and rescue team simply cannot find a way to advance the entire mission.

In the previous rescue operations, no matter how many difficulties they encountered, every executor had confidence in his heart.The ultimate source of this kind of confidence is naturally the advantage of the earth civilization over each other—everyone believes from the bottom of their hearts that the technology of the earth far surpasses the rescue civilization, and the materials and experience of the earth far surpass the rescue civilization, as long as they put in Strength, good decision-making, the completion of the task is just a matter of time.

But this time, the previous experience clearly hit a snag.

Just like this Black Star battle, even if they saw the war from beginning to end, the results are now out and it is completely over. For many people, the details of the war still seem mysterious.

In the consultation meeting, this kind of questioning voice about the war was never heard from the beginning to the end.

"How can there be defensive warfare in space? It's impossible?"

"Why don't they use nuclear weapons?"

"Why do two people have to control such a large spaceship? Can they use an automated small aircraft, which is obviously more flexible..."

"It's too unscientific to hollow out the interior of a planet? Have you calculated how huge the amount of engineering is?"

"What is the use of the asteroid belt in the universe? The solar system is three-dimensional! Can you go around in another direction..."

But no matter how loud everyone's doubts are, the battle is still going on day by day until the end of the battle and the result is reached.

Facts have proved that it is difficult for the minds of earthlings to understand the strategies and tactics of these aliens.

The role of the consultation meeting in this mission began to be limited. Obviously, in the face of civilizations that are far superior to the earth, many people on earth subconsciously do not doubt whether they are smart enough to understand each other, but suspect that the other party is smart enough to understand each other. Not smart enough, may be very backward in military tactics, or simply question: "The designer of this game has a hole in his head"...

This kind of blind self-confidence appears in every consultation meeting, and this attitude seriously affects the normal analysis of the consultation meeting... During this whole night, the amount of information Wu Xiaoqing got from the consultation meeting has not even chatted casually with the search and rescue team more than a few words.

Once people cannot be objective, what they say is basically nonsense.

Now, with the end of the Black Star Campaign, Wu Qing's report was temporarily interrupted. As soon as this clue was broken, Wu Xiaoqing immediately discovered that this operation had fallen into a situation where it could not be advanced again.

First of all, they have no way to influence either side of the war. In the federation, the federal government is actively planning the training of new enlisted soldiers and actively preparing for the defense of the next planet. The existence of the search and rescue team has been completely ignored; in the intelligence body, According to the report sent back by Wu Qing and the others, the intelligent body will undoubtedly follow the most conventional strategic thinking in the game. After controlling the Black Star, it will use the resources of the entire planet to expand the new fleet as quickly as possible.

During this process, the two sides will maintain a peaceful state of tacit understanding as in the previous days. Even if there is a conflict, it is only a small-scale tentative action.

They have no way and no position to influence either side of the war, they can only watch the situation continue to slide uncontrollably.

According to the development of this situation, it won't be long before more planets fall, and the federation will launch colonization ships at all costs... As long as the federation launches first, the intellectual and physical aspects will definitely follow.

At that time, what can they do to prevent these two civilizations from going to civilization a to seek death?

The search and rescue team gave a way, but this way...

Wu Xiaoqing still remembers that when he was saving the Kingdom of Elis, he once had some doubts about the search and rescue team during the mission. The doubts at that time were based on simple morality-he was not used to seeing blood and war .

Now Wu Xiaoqing was able to get used to that, but now Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help but question the search and rescue team again, just when the search and rescue team said that suggestion just now.

Let them... cooperate with the Federation.

who are they?They are themselves, another self in the true sense, another Shen Changwen and another Xu Yan.

During this period of time, just by reading the reports sent back by the three of them, Wu Xiaoqing often felt a sense of familiarity, because from it he really seemed to see another self talking to him. From the lines in the report, Wu Xiaoqing could Really feel their current situation and despair.

Not to mention, the three of them still insisted on sending them back messages in this situation.

It was difficult for Wu Xiaoqing to explain this matter with the existing moral values ​​on the earth, but after hearing the suggestion, he almost instinctively resisted it in his heart.

They originally thought that their replicas would not last long at all, and would be captured as a matter of course, and then forced to cooperate with the Federation.They are all psychologically prepared for these, and they have no intention of demanding any noble moral decisions from these replicas.They are not soldiers, and this does not involve any major collective interests or moral risks, just like ordinary people being kidnapped by robbers and forced to cooperate with robbers, it is normal and easy to understand.

But no one expected that they still haven't been caught yet, but instead sent them messages of robbers continuously in the robber's den.

On the other hand, Wu Xiaoqing and the others began to think about cooperating with the bandits in reverse—according to the meaning of the search and rescue team, they almost wanted to actively disclose Wu Qing's whereabouts to the Federation and let them be captured by the Federation.

Ironically, the premise of making this decision was largely based on the reports they sent back.

From the report, Wu Xiaoqing and the others now basically know the most important reason why the Federation arrested them—it was nothing more than soldiers.

No matter how advanced the federal people are, they are still essentially the same as the earthlings, they are carbon-based creatures, creatures with accumulated cells and long flesh.As carbon-based organisms, some social and moral principles are completely interlinked.

This is like the people on earth who always maintain the greatest vigilance and precautions against human cloning, even cloning animals is cautious, because the technology of cloning has begun to involve an important proposition in human society-the uniqueness of human beings.

People are unique and unique, and this uniqueness and uniqueness even have some kind of sacred social value—meaning that everyone has their own unique value dimension.

The cloning technology, to some extent, breaks this uniqueness - a cloned person obviously naturally inherits all the blood relationship of the cloned person.The father of the cloned person will also be the father of the cloned person, and similarly, the son of the cloned person is also the son of the cloned person in the strict sense.

This is just the blood relationship, which is enough to make all the people on earth maintain deep vigilance and fear about it.

Compared with cloning technology, the digitization of consciousness and the reproducibility after digitization completely and thoroughly threaten the root of this uniqueness.

In Wu Xiaoqing's view, there should be no normal person or society on earth that can accept the infinite replication of individual consciousness, which will cause a huge ethical disaster for the entire society.Among other things, it's just personal rights... The simplest example, all replicas clearly remember the same bank account number and password, so who does the money belong to?

In the Commonwealth, the technology of digitizing human consciousness has entered the application stage hundreds of years ago, but up to the present position, that is, it is constantly trying in the laboratory-but it has never set foot in social applications.

This is the same reason why human cloning is prohibited on earth, and the law does not allow it.

Not only is it not allowed, but the Federal Constitution has even made explanatory provisions specifically for this purpose. According to these provisions, the consciousness data of every citizen can only be in real time, and no organization or structure can save it, let alone Said copied.

In order to completely guarantee this point, all servers limit this point from the built-in logic language-this is like Asimov's famous three laws of robotics, which are written in the bottom layer of all games related to the digitalization of consciousness , almost impossible to crack technically.

——Even if it is cracked, the serious consequences of being discovered cannot be tolerated by any federal government and all the political forces behind them.

Why would the federal government target Wu Xiaoqing and the three of them?

Because it's very simple, Wu Xiaoqing and the other three's clones are the only ones in the game who are not members of the Federation and are not protected by law.

Wu Qing, Shen Wen, and another Xu Yan are not "people".

Not Federal, at least legally.

For the current federal government, what they desire most is soldiers. In order to get more soldiers, they even deliberately killed more than 100 million people in one battle!

If Wu Qing and the others are "arrested", it means that the most critical part of the problem that plagues the federal government, the problem of the source of troops, has been completely resolved.

Copy countless data for each of Wu Qing and the others... With a little training and guidance, they can play games like ordinary people, control real warships, and carry out dangerous military missions instead of citizens of the Federation.

In this way, the biggest technical shortcoming between the federation and the intelligent body disappears. Compared with this, the huge planetary mass held by the federation... will soon be transformed into a crushing advantage over the intelligent body .

Wu Qing and the others will become another form of "clone army", which will be a huge temptation for the Federation!

Wu Xiaoqing is almost sure that as long as they take this as a condition of the transaction, the federal government will easily agree to their conditions, including stopping the construction and launching of colonial ships, including temporary peace with the intelligence and body.

Everyone seems to be a winner in this deal.

The only losers are those three people who are still collecting information for them and trapped in the game world. Maybe they will become 300 million, 300 million, [-] billion in the future...

Wu Xiaoqing once rescued Changbai and Changxing, saw their spaceship with his own eyes, and understood the mental state of all the people on the spaceship.

For Wu Qing, and countless Wu Xiaoqing "men" in the future, it will be hell, a hell that can never be escaped.

Making such a decision would not violate any existing social morality in the human world. Logically speaking, there is no need for Wu Xiaoqing to dwell on this point. Even Shen Changwen dismissed it: "Then we can only blame them for suffering."

But Wu Xiaoqing still couldn't get over it in his heart. It had been a whole night, and every time he was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, he always seemed to be awakened by a faint voice.But when he really woke up, the voice was completely gone.
