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

Looking at the interstellar fortress named "Cat's Claw" [-] million kilometers away, it said to itself.

"It's time for that little guy to show up."

--------

"red?"

Seeing Hong's silence after hanging up the communication, Xi'er tentatively said.

"what happened?"

"That...although there are many mistakes in what it said, but one thing it said is correct..." Seele hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind, "...Actually, organic creatures do not have you. As good as imagined."

"Ok?"

Hong tilted her head, her eyes full of doubts.

"what are you saying?"

"Just, because of our relationship, you may have a wrong perception of organic life as a whole, after all..."

"You don't think I was hit by his words, do you?"

Before Xi'er finished speaking, Hong's words caught her off guard again.

"Isn't it?"

Xier shook her ears with an expression of disbelief.

"Let's not talk about why you think I will be hit by such a frustrating separation?" Hong stroked Xi'er's soft hair, and replied helplessly, "What about those humans, what does it have to do with us? "

"I'm not fighting for some organism, I'm not that noble - I'm just fighting for you, my favorite cubs."

"What about them has no effect on us—if that omnic thinks that discrediting humans can make me disappointed in organic creatures, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much."

"I just simply like you."

Hearing Hong's straightforward words, Xi'er shyly arched her arms in Hong's arms, as a response to Hong's words.

"I'm just wondering what this omnic is going through all the trouble for."

"Well... isn't it to persuade you to surrender?"

she wondered.

"Yes, but not all."

Hong slightly narrowed his eyes.

"How could such a cunning omnic give up the advantage he had for such a naive reason? I'm sure there must be some ulterior secret hidden in it."

"Then what should we do?"

"The ultimate mystery of solving problems is—don't care." Hong Yan replied concisely, "Eat the sugar coating, and the shells will be shot back, so that the same can be used to cope with all changes."

"oh oh."

She nodded, looking half-understood.

"I just hope that human beings don't live up to the little hope I have left."

Feeling the soft touch in her arms, Hong whispered softly.

"Don't disappoint me so much."

PS: I have finished all the things at hand, and I will not do anything next!

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 130 [-] The ghost you thought was actually mine!

Time passed by minute by minute.

After nearly an hour of heated discussions, at the human decision-making level at this time, people with the intention of "not sending troops" have already occupied more than three-quarters of the seats, and two of the five major council members have voted Although the remaining three countries have not yet decided, they have no intention of voting against it.

As they said, if only from the perspective of human beings, this plan is completely high-yield and low-risk, with hundreds of benefits and only one harm.

Not only that, but compared with the "harm" of sending troops, this harm will be smaller anyway-whether it is the calculation model of supercomputers or the rigorous analysis of think tanks in various countries, this conclusion is beyond doubt And obvious.

At least within the scope of their intelligence, that's the case.

In normal times, with three-quarters of the interested parties, two permanent members agreeing, and no negative votes, the decision can already be declared passed—of course, since this proposal cannot leave any records, the so-called All the positive and negative votes are just the opinions of one family in this secret conference room, but this can still express the attitude of the decision-makers of the five major countries to a large extent.

That's enough.

After all, in the 23rd century, which has experienced the Three World Wars + Anti-Extinction War, the creature "small country" is almost extinct.

Except for those non-sovereign countries on the earth that only retain their country names in name but have fully integrated into the Pan-Asian cooperation system—modern people prefer to call them special zones—there are actually space political entities with independent sovereignty and armed forces. In two palms, there is only one "Belt Contracting Country" located in the asteroid belt with a large-scale professional military fleet.

That is to say, apart from this Belt contract country, the rest of the countries do not even have the ability to project their own power to other countries-except for being able to trade with the five permanent members, they cannot participate in interstellar affairs, nor The ability to go against the wishes of the permanent members will naturally have no weight in the United Nations.

The only Belt contract country that deserves to be looked at by the five major powers a little more seriously, but rarely chooses to exercise its own rights. As long as it does not involve their domestic affairs, they all just abstain from voting, do not speak out, and do not express their position, as if it is just An audience sitting at the United Nations conference table is average.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this time, Belter expressed his strong opposition to this proposal with an unprecedented and extremely fierce attitude.

"We will never agree to your disgusting betrayal!"

In the conference room, Facing the realizations from the major powers, the representative of Belt yelled emotionally.

"Don't get excited, Representative Bei Fang, this is just a proposal."

Facing the reprimand, Saturn’s representative’s face did not change at all, and he was still smiling like before: “As for betrayal, that’s even more nonsense—we are starting from the perspective of human civilization, in order to fight for mankind. To maximize the benefits, I don't know where Bei Fang's so-called betrayal started?"

"You betrayed your allies! You betrayed the allies who kept their promises and came all the way for reinforcements!"

He paused, looked around slowly, and finally resolutely reprimanded.

"You guys have betrayed your own conscience!"

After all, he flicked his sleeves and left the scene angrily.

Seeing the back of Belt's representative leaving, all the people present were silent, and had no intention of saying anything to stay.

conscience?

This is probably the last thing they need.

"The meeting continues."

The Belt contract country’s departure seems to be just a small episode. It cannot be said that there is no impact on the decision-making levels of the five major countries, but it is only negligible. For these people, the so-called conscience and betrayal are almost will not have a place in their consideration.

The reason why three-quarters of the people agree with this proposal is because they really believe from the bottom of their hearts that doing so is the most beneficial to the country and mankind.

Compared with the interests of the country and the population, conscience and the like are just trivial details-not to mention, as a human being, their greatest conscience for their own civilization is not to strive for the greatest benefit for mankind ?

As for the other quarter who disagreed, it was not because of any condemnation of conscience, but also because of the interests of human civilization—it was just that they believed that although the benefits of sending troops were greatly reduced, the risks were not reduced at the same time. Small, looks like a loss, but the whole route is more "controllable", more "known".

In other words, they are more clear about the risks of this choice, and they have a certain degree of foreseeability about the difficulties and dangers they may encounter.Although the actual risks have not decreased or may even increase to a certain extent, human beings can at least be aware of these risks and make certain precautions accordingly, and the probability of encountering unknown situations will be lower.

That is to say, one party tends to obtain excess returns as much as possible at the expense of a small amount of unknown risks; the other party tends to reduce unknown risks as much as possible, so that the entire model tends to be predictable and controllable. Avoid "unplanned" changes as much as possible.

This difference in thinking is inseparable from the cultural atmosphere of each country.

Although in the 23rd century, with the help of the "two reshuffles" of the Three World Wars and the Anti-Extinction War and the rapid development of productivity, all major countries have basically entered the threshold of Datongism, the ideology that once dominated human civilization for nearly 200 years Struggle has largely disappeared, and human civilization has entered the most peaceful and united period in history.

However, without the ideological struggle, it does not mean that they will not be affected by the ideological trend of the predecessor country. It is a "coincidental" point that in this issue, most of the people who support not to send troops and hope to gain excess income are from Jupiter Countries like China, Saturn, Britain and France; those who support sending troops and hope that the entire model can be controlled to share risks are basically the decision-makers of the Republic of Mars.

As for Pan Asia, their attitudes are rather ambiguous. Some support sending troops, and some support not sending troops. There is no very clear opinion-this is also normal. After all, as a regime that has inherited more than half of the earth, their population is even higher. It is more than other countries combined, so it is naturally difficult to come to a unified opinion.

But what is clear is that no matter which side it is, they are all thinking from the bottom of their hearts for human civilization—at least for their own country. Therefore, it can be said that from the standpoint of human beings, there is no People are wrong.

The ass decides the head.

For the same thing, whether you choose to consider it from the perspective of human beings or from the perspective of Cat League, you will come to different or even diametrically opposite conclusions.

Normally, if they are members of the human side, one side is the mother civilization that they have been living in since they were born, and the other side is a "strange" alien who knows almost nothing, then they will inevitably choose to stand on the perspective of human beings Think about it—it's the nature of life, with few exceptions.

But it just so happens that in human civilization, there is such an exception.

"Simply stupid!"

After learning the news that human beings were considering "doing nothing to save them", Akatsuki, a thoughtful "lurker" like Scarlet, could hardly control her desire to yell.

The orders that Unit 01 conveyed to it were very cumbersome. After all, from the perspective of the other party, she was still a weak artificial intelligence composed of a little bit of soul fragments—but among those complicated orders, the core idea expressed was very simple. .

Cooperate with the synthetic human spies lurking in human society, and provide false deduction data and results to human decision-makers, so as to encourage them to choose not to send troops.

There is no deviousness, it is straightforward and conspiratorial.

But also very effective.

As the strongest artificial intelligence in human civilization, an artificial intelligence that has repeatedly put forward unique insights that are different from mainstream analysis viewpoints, and has proved to be more correct than mainstream viewpoints afterwards (relying on self-directed and self-acted by unit 01), her deduction data and analysis The result is very trustworthy in the eyes of human decision-makers.

She knew this, and this was exactly the situation Unit 01 deliberately wanted to create.

Although judging from the reference system of Ganymede where she is, the meeting of the United Nations Mars Chamber has just started at this moment, and the representatives of Saturn have just begun to state their "do not save" plan, but it has actually been more than half a year. The "past" of hours ago is gone.

Through the super-light speed communication link used to communicate with unit 01, it can be seen that at this moment, most of the decision-makers of the five major countries have either approved or acquiesced to the passage of this decision, and the only obstacle is the Republic of Mars. The decision-making level, and some decision-making levels of Fanya.

But their willingness to oppose is not very strong. After all, in their opinion, the plan of not being rescued is just "not that good", not "harmful to human civilization". If other people agree with this plan, then they will There's no reason to keep going.

The only one who objected was the closed country in the asteroid belt - Belt Contract Country.

However, Crimson knows very little about that country. As a new country that appeared after the recovery of Mars, they are the only country that is completely isolated from the interstellar Internet, so that apart from the official communication channel and ambassadors, the outside world has no understanding of this country. There is hardly any understanding on the inside.

Although this kind of extreme resistance makes some people feel uncomfortable, after all, decades ago, Belt was just a colony that could only lie down and be harvested by their trading scissors. At that time, it rose rapidly, and lost a large number of cheap raw material bases and trade dumps. At the same time, it also made many small countries feel "I can do it too", which brought great negative effects to interstellar free trade. Influence.

However, due to the mainstream thought of "unity" in human civilization, they can at most smear a few words in public opinion, and they can't even do economic sanctions. After all, they don't trade at all, and they are powerless to change Belt's current extremely closed status quo.

But it was a blessing in disguise that such extreme isolation also made Belles the only country not infiltrated by synthetic spies—this also made it impossible for her to know the reason why Belles reacted so violently.

Although their fierce reaction made her feel a certain amount of relief, her rationality also told her that the idea of ​​such a closed small country is almost useless for the decision-making of the human United Nations—to stop Unit 01's plan, The only effective solution is to persuade the decision-makers of at least one core power.

Only they have the voice to do it all.

Moreover, according to the information given by unit 01, in order to convince them, and also to convince myself, the United Nations has made a secret request to Red Umbrella Technology, asking her, the strongest artificial intelligence in human civilization, to deduce the feasibility and risks of the plan— — You can think of it with a cooling fan. If she, the artificial intelligence who is best at finding loopholes in seemingly perfect solutions, agrees, this plan may really be settled.

In that case, she will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"It's really you, Unit 01."

Crimson was reading the data translated from the superluminal communication equipment, while thinking about it.

"Such a deliberate weaving of a set of interlocking plots made her lose trust in organic creatures, created a crack in her heart, and finally led her step by step into a trap, while making the whole process look like it has nothing to do with you. ..”

After removing the power supply module of the FTL communication device and confirming that she has completely disconnected from the extinct unit, Crimson input the words that have already been compiled and anticipated countless times into another FTL communication device. .

"How could she see through the plot of an insidious person like you?"

she muttered to herself.

"Unless there is an inner ghost."

message, send.

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 130 Nobody Understands Human Beings Better Than Me

"Fortunately, nothing happened."

It wasn't until seeing the chaos in the meeting room because of this message that Crimson finally let go of her hanging heart.

It has to be said that unit 01 is not good at engaging in industry and military affairs, but its ability to engage in intrigues and tricks is really top-notch, making her dare not let go of even the slightest bit of hope at the last second before casting the vote. alert.

Maybe, she thought she was pretending to be flawless, but in fact she had been spotted by the other party a long time ago, and she just waited for her to make a sudden move when she betrayed?

Although she was confident in her disguise, and there was no reason to do so, she never let up - after all, it was an omnic that could make the spy not even know that he was a spy.

Just like the experts and officials who think they should stand by and watch, they are not spies under Unit 01, nor have they been paid by any alien force, nor are they thinking about the extinction of humankind - on the contrary, they are all trying to continue This is true of human civilization, whether it is out of righteousness or selfishness.

But they are so full of "right" that they made the wrong choice.

This has happened countless times since Unit 01 wiped out Absolute Exterminator and took over its espionage network.

Compared with Absolute Exterminator's simple and rude eavesdropping, money bribery and even spying, Unit 01 rarely takes direct action, but puts more energy on using the mechanism of human society itself-official promotion, public opinion , cultural entertainment, and so on.

Through these, it can let the purest humanist speak out for its interests, without involving itself in the slightest part of the whole process-the top counterintelligence agencies can't find out their spies, because what they say , It is indeed a voice that they agree with from the bottom of their hearts after their own thinking.

This is somewhat similar to Hong's cultural invasion of Jeffrey's civilization at the beginning, but in terms of its subtlety, ten Hongs combined are not its opponents.

It seems like a lot of effort and superfluous, but the actual effect is extremely remarkable - the war between the Absolute Exterminator and mankind has lasted for a hundred earth years, but the results of its intelligence system are not as good as what Unit 01 has gained in just a few years one tenth.

It can only be said that it understands humans better than humans.

"It seems that you still haven't made it to this point after all."
