Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

(The special camp here does not refer to capital. Anyone who understands it can understand it. If you don’t understand it, you can look at the thing under the emblem of the Senate of the Beautiful Country)

Although the lifespan of this federation was extremely short, after just a dozen years, the federation with the widest span and the highest degree of integration in history fell apart under the bombing of the Iron Heart Exterminator, and finally, after several twists and turns, it became what it is today. Asia's Jupiter military-industrial complex and the neutral Commonwealth of Britain and France.But it is undeniable that this is the most glorious time for an alliance that has been in civil war for thousands of years and was formed under pressure.

"But in the end, even such a close alliance, after encountering a real and devastating disaster, quickly went to decline." Holding the electronic board off screen in his hand to his chest, Hong looked up at the resolute face in front of him. The chief executive of the league, "Have you really decided?"

"We want to try again."

"Even if we repeat the same mistakes?"

"Even if we repeat the same mistakes."

"I still remember that when you transformed the 'Anti-Red Alliance' into the 'Jeffa Alliance', you clearly said that you will never unite into one country like before." She sighed, "You don't need to deny it, you know I don't care about this kind of thing, anyway, now you will definitely not think about 'against me' anymore, will you?"

"Uh...you're right."

Although she is an official of the alliance and an official at the top level of the executive head of the alliance parliament, she is very used to Hong's unique diplomatic method, but as expected, it is still quite Linghu who is brought up by the party concerned about the original black history. for embarrassing.

Especially at that time, they still imagined a bunch of "evil deeds" related to Hong, and they were short of promoting it as a monster with three heads and six arms, or a monster with three cores and six processes. Let's look at Hong's selfless Help, enough to shame any Confederate with a conscience enough to dig a canal with his feet.

"However, since you want to try, go for it."

She smiled slightly, reopened the electronic board in her arms, and solemnly signed her own cat mark on it—this meant that she had formally agreed to the approval of this trial project.

And now that the Federation, the Empire, the Alliance, and the four major councils of the Alliance have all voted and passed this trial plan, the only thing they have to wait for is the red cat mark.

The imprint has been signed.

The law is enforced.

From the moment the electronic pen completed the last stroke, this emerging alliance, which has just been established for 30 years, or even only ten years according to the earth's calendar, has officially started their integration process.

Maybe under the blessing of Red, they can truly complete the great unification in all aspects and become a united and unified country, maybe they will still repeat the same mistakes as the old federation and be destroyed in internal contradictions, but no matter what the future holds, At least from this moment on, the Jaffa Alliance is on the move again.

They will open a new chapter in history.

"Congratulations."

Hong handed back the signed and locked electronic board to her.

"Thank you."

The chief administrative officer of the alliance also hugged the electronic board to his chest, took a step back, and bowed deeply.

Maybe it’s thanks to Hong for passing this bill, maybe it’s thanks to Hong’s selfless help to them all the time, “it’s all about benefits, but it’s all about heart”, maybe it’s just a pure emotional outburst.

In any case, at this moment, she just wants to express her most sincere thanks to this omnic.

"I hope that in the future, I can see a truly unified great civilization composed of Jeffery and Farsati."

"Of course, the great Red Lord."

She first secretly sniffed the electronic board in her arms, then straightened up like a normal person.

"Under your leadership."

Volume II Extinction War: Chapter [-] You Have New Special Items

However, integration does not happen overnight.

Although the cakes of the three countries have passed this bill with crushing approval votes, and the voices of the people are also very loud. It seems that they can't wait to merge into a truly unified civilization from top to bottom. It's like providing more help to their Miss Hong, but in practice, there are still many problems that they have thought of or have not thought of.

According to their current plan, if they want to truly abandon the past and unite the people who were originally scattered on the five ecological planets, the first thing to do is to eliminate fear.

To be precise, it is to dispel the fear of the Jeffreys towards the Farsatis-20 years is too short, and it is far from enough to make people forget the propaganda about the "alien race" of Farsatis.

After all, no matter how similar the appearance is, no matter how good they get along with each other over the years, it cannot conceal a core problem of the Farsati people.

They can barely reproduce naturally.

How can a race that can only "transform" other races, such as Jeffreys, into Fasatis through rituals, live in harmony with their "food"?

Although the process of carrying out this kind of thinking transformation ceremony is very cumbersome and lengthy, hosting the ceremony requires a lot of professionals to operate, and it is almost impossible for individuals or non-governmental organizations to implement it. After the establishment of the alliance, the Farsati government also promised not to Invoke ceremonies without the permission of another country.

Sounds solid right?

But one of the most serious problems with intelligent beings, at least of their kind, is irrationality.

Even though the empire and the federal people knew very well in their hearts that there was no additional risk at all in contact with ordinary farsati, but in real life, they would still be afraid of what they should be afraid of.

Not to mention being an organic creature full of sensibility, a mechanically intelligent individual like Hong who is supposed to be "absolutely rational" is still useless in this kind of thing—not to mention, even if one day in the future, she is weighing the pros and cons After that, she agreed to let the people of the alliance contact her cubs, and she would definitely add some extra vigilance to the Farsati people in the basic monitoring of the people of the alliance.

After all, she couldn't afford to lose.

In the initial adoption, when she hadn't established any relationship, she was still able to clear up some unstable factors, but after so many years of getting along, everything has long been changed.

She couldn't accept the departure of any cub—no, it couldn't be said that she couldn't accept it, as a powerful mechanical intelligence, there was nothing Hong couldn't accept.

She can accept this, she will not be hysterical, and she will not be dazed and heartbroken because of the blow.

It's just that, after accepting this result, as their mother, Hong naturally had to do some things that a mother should do-and what a mother beast who lost her cub would do, naturally, no one needed more said.

After all, compared to unreasonable revenge under emotional fluctuations, strict revenge under absolutely calm conditions is more frightening.

Of course, this is just the worst plan that Hong made in the plan. At least in the past twenty years, the most dangerous moment the cubs have experienced is just choking on drinking water too quickly.

One thing to say, choking on water is actually quite dangerous.

In addition, there are also occasional minor ailments such as bacterial infections, colds and fevers, etc. With Hong's current level of technology, it doesn't take much effort to treat these ailments.

Not to mention a small cold and fever, even multiple organ failure in the whole body, she can completely recover - as long as the brain is not damaged, at worst, the whole body needs to be replaced.

This is just a matter of cost, and for Hong, treating the cub doesn't need to consider the cost at all.

However, the premise is that the brain is not damaged and the consciousness is not distorted.

And Fasati's so-called "sublimation ceremony" just attacked the consciousness.

She can reverse the genetic changes, and she can modify the physical changes, but the consciousness has changed. For today's Hong, there is really no way.

Not to mention being popular, even the Farsati people who have relied on the sublimation ceremony for so many years have no way to reverse all this-in fact, not only can they not reverse the ceremony, they don't even know what the ceremony is. Where did it come from and how did it work.

Whether it's Hong, the Alliance people, or the human beings they met recently, they don't have much understanding of consciousness—they don't even know the essence of consciousness, so how can it be possible to develop the technology to precisely modify it?

This is a black-box technology that is too black to be black. Gathering the population with corresponding conditions and performing the corresponding steps and rituals can assimilate the consciousness of the target alien, and slowly modify their genes and bodies until they are in charge of the ritual. The farsati who provided the samples are the same.

This can’t be called science and technology, it’s completely metaphysics. If it wasn’t for the fact that the modification process still consumes energy, proving that it is still obeying the law of conservation of mass and energy, the building of physics would not be a matter of a few dark clouds.

And Hong hates things that are out of control.

"Obviously, the 'sublimation ceremony' that once helped us a lot has now become our shackles."

At the press conference of the 'Farsati National Genome Adjustment Project', the chief of the Farsati Planetary Alliance stood in front of the podium and said impassionedly.

"Where did it come from? We don't know."

"How does it work? We don't know."

"How to control it? We don't even know."

"Why are we different from everyone else? We still don't know."

The four in a row don't know, which basically expresses the aspirations of many Farsati people today.

Why are they so special?

Obviously, this strange way of living is almost impossible to be natural and evolved naturally—at least, on an ordinary planet like Taralon, in its ordinary biosphere, almost impossible.

Maybe it's some boring alien passing by in ancient times, maybe it's some kind of unknown secret in the universe, maybe it's the master behind the scenes with great powers... anyway, according to the current academic point of view, it is basically determined There are external forces interfering in this.

Although judging from the results, this unimaginably powerful ability is indeed of great help to the rise of the Farsati people-a "sublimation ceremony" that can obtain the memory of the opponent's population almost without loss and directly inherit its thinking ability "It is self-evident how powerful Zai is.

But in modern times, this ability has become their burden instead.

Although this technology is still very powerful and advanced, they are so advanced that they have no clue to achieve all this by themselves. Even a wise mind like Hong can only vaguely feel a thread in the ball. That's all, but in the end, it's just a way of reproduction.

No matter how advanced it is, no matter how powerful it is, its technological content is as high as that of metaphysics, but it is unqualified in terms of population reproduction.

Because it goes against the original intention.

"Although we still have a long, long way to go on the road to analyze this technology, and may even make no progress in our whole life, at least, with the unremitting efforts of scientists, we now have a right .”

"A right that has never been had before."

He holds up an index finger.

"We can choose to forego it."

This is the first step in the coalition's integration process - the National Genome Adjustment Project.

After extremely lengthy experiments and tests, Farsati scholars have successfully developed this epoch-making genetic adjustment agent—as the most complex and highest-tech genetic adjustment agent in history, its function is surprisingly simple and single.

That is to knock out all the gene fragments related to the sublimation ritual.

According to the test of the Fasati people, after knocking out the encrypted gene fragments added by unknown persons, they will immediately lose the ability to be the individual samples of the sublimation ceremony, but correspondingly, they will also gain the ability they have always been. coveted ability.

Natural reproduction.

Although the way this sublimation ritual works is very metaphysical, they can be said to have no clue today, but the reason why they cannot reproduce naturally is quite clear-the problem lies in these encrypted genes.

For some unknown reason, these encrypted genes behaved very normally in the original body, normal replication, normal differentiation, normal function although they don't know what it is, but it must be some kind of effect, but once When it comes to the fertilized egg, everything changes.

It will go wrong crazily, completely disobeying the principle of one-third of ordinary DNA retaining replication, and making a mess of the original gene chain, with so many errors that even the self-correcting mechanism of the triple helix cannot handle it at all.

Even when the self-correcting mechanism itself will be translated into a lot of errors, how can this fertilized egg develop?

However, after knocking out those encrypted genes, the genome of the Fasati people can actually work normally.In fact, after removing the encryption gene, the remaining genes of the Farsati are almost the same as that of the Jeffreys.

How similar is it?It is similar to the extent that the two races can directly intermarry and reproduce offspring-from a biological point of view, the Farsati are actually Jeffreys with a large number of unknown encrypted gene fragments added.

As for why this happened, they still don’t know—it’s as if they don’t know why the genes and appearance of the Fasati people who sublimated from the bodies of those primitive civilization intelligent creatures have the same genes and appearance as those of the Jeffreys. Those fasati who sublimated are exactly the same.

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter [-] The Necklace of Memory

People always miss the past.

Some people miss those great men who have made indelible contributions to the progress of civilization, some people miss those countries that have struggled to realize a great ideal, at least they have struggled, and some people miss those fleeting moments in the history of civilization. A little bit of starlight.

Or, simply nostalgia for the good old days when we were mediocre on the surface, competing with each other for petty profits, but not having to worry about the threat of extinction from aliens.

Although it sounds petty, this is indeed the era that many people dream of. Whenever the people of the Alliance end their day's work and walk in the deserted streets late at night, there will always be some romantic individuals looking up , Looking up at the vast starry sky, recalling them hundreds of years ago.

At that time, they were still arguing about "whether we are the only civilization in the universe" and "whether aliens exist", searching for clues about alien life in the vast universe, and even putting their own The message is sent out, hoping that one day they can get in touch with a benign alien civilization in their fantasy, and share this unknown starry sky together.

Of course, they here do not refer to the employees who live under the wings of the alliance today and only need to spend one-third of their time working every day, but to the federal people back then—the ones who have not experienced the immediate aftermath. The alien-expanded Federation that led to the Great Disintegration.

After all, even if the average lifespan of Alliance people is nearly six hundred years old, which is more than twice that of Earth humans, it is impossible for individuals to live from the pre-space age to today.

To some extent, this is also one of the reasons why the Alliance people chose to submit to the red men.

People are mortal.

No matter how great, wise, and memorable they were back then, they will eventually die.

Not from natural disasters, not from man-made disasters, but from the problem that most species have faced since birth - aging.

Even at that time, they were the pivotal cake of the entire civilization, the top scientists who led the development of civilization science and technology, and the great thinkers who taught the people, but as long as they were not a life form that was close to immortality like red, they would not be able to survive in the macroscopic development process of the entire civilization. After all, it was only a short moment.

The goals of the past will gradually dissipate, the ideals of the past will be smoothed by reality, and people will begin to learn to compromise. For the development of civilization to be more stable, something must always be sacrificed.

This is not the fault of some people, but the collective decision of the entire group, and the responsibility that every member cannot escape - when an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.

No matter which civilization you are in, compromise is a very normal thing. In other words, for a civilization composed of hundreds of millions or even billions of individuals with different needs, it is necessary to compromise with each other to find a solution that is acceptable to all parties. "Common standards" are much better than the blind pursuit of perfection.

But red is different.

Strictly speaking, when faced with the same level of realistic obstacles and crises, Red, who is a machine intelligence, has the lowest probability of compromising.

It's not completely impossible, after all, after adding new variables over time, she will also change the standards she set before from time to time. To "ignoring" and finally to "willing to cooperate".

Of course, she has 1 reasons to explain the benefits of this change in attitude and convince others that friendly cooperation with alien civilizations is indeed superior to the initial "contempt" policy, but only results In a word, red has indeed not changed.

After all, looking at it from another angle, there is no difference between Red's "optimal solution selected after comprehensive consideration" and ordinary organic civilization's "selective compromise after considering the actual situation"-except for some strange things. In addition to the system, the vast majority of people in a civilization that can develop into the space age take it for granted that they want the entire civilization to be better.

No one wants their civilization to become weak and backward—it sounds aggrieved by reality, but if it is not really necessary, who is willing to change their original intention?

After all, civilization is built on the material world, and no one can escape the shackles and constraints of reality.

But she has never wavered in Hong's core self-command, which is to protect her cub.

On top of this premise, as long as she doesn't touch Hong's bottom line, she is also willing to provide protection for like-minded and friendly civilizations-and, although the process is embarrassing, they are at least the mother civilization of Jeffrey's cubs.

As long as they don't do stupid things, Hong is still willing to provide them with some shelter—what's more, if the alliance really completes the merger and transfers part of the power to her, then the alliance will be considered as half of Hong's subordinates , She couldn't ignore both emotion and reason.
