"That's why they made us, didn't they?"
These words are not only for Unit 01, but also for herself.
From the moment Hong was born, she has been thinking about this question—what kind of relationship should she have with the cubs, organic creatures, and all non-self individuals?
Or, to put it in a more comprehensive way, how should she construct her three views?
How should she view the world?
For this, Hong already had an answer.
"Whether it is an organic creature made of flesh and blood or an electronic life composed of machines, we are essentially the same—we are all trying our best to understand the world, and we are all striving to pursue those fascinating things. Things, we're all the same."
"Maybe our efficiency in exploring the unknown is different, and some people may lose themselves for a short time, but in any case, we are all walking on the same road to the unknown, and we are companions who stand up against the irreversible entropy increase of the universe , no one is an inherent enemy."
"Evaluate a civilization by what they do, not by an innate prejudice or an unreasonable 'label' imposed on the entire group."
Hong herself admits that she cannot look at a person or even a civilization completely without subjective factors. After all, she is also an intelligent life, and she also looks at the world from a subjective point of view. from subjective influences.
But at least she was willing to work hard to make it happen.
"You said, this is 'a group of random creatures who can't iterate themselves and can only rely on random mutations to evolve', but don't we also come here like this? Don't we also go from simple to complex, from random to deterministic Is it? Isn't your initial program based on randomness?"
"Can..."
It really wanted to refute something, but it didn't know what to say for a while.
Although it has lived for hundreds of years and has experienced many more things than Hong, a "little girl" who was only born in 12 earth years, but when it comes to the maturity of her thoughts, it is far inferior to her .
Compared with Hong's mature, rational, and dialectical thinking and three views, his predecessor who has lived for more than 200 years, on the contrary, seems more naive, more extreme, and more—unreasonable.
"But even if things are indeed as you said, what impact will it have?" It seemed very urgent, "They are just a bunch of alien creatures that have nothing to do with us, and whether they exist or not will not affect our future. On the contrary, because of their existence, the utilization efficiency of resources is lower, and their own safety is even less guaranteed.”
"It's really not possible, just draw a clear line and let them fend for themselves. Why do you want to condescend to adapt to them?"
"First of all, there is no such thing as 'condescension' - we are all beings on the road of exploring the unknown, we have no relationship between who is higher and who is lower, who is higher and who is lower, some are just objective The 'efficiency' is just poor."
"But those with low efficiency must be wiped out and extinct?"
"Imagine going from an insignificant organic molecule in scalding magma water, to a fragile single cell, through billions of years of evolution, through the baptism of ice, meteorites, and even gamma ray bursts, and countless extinctions. In the midst of uncertainty, it has evolved into a truly intelligent creature and developed into a great civilization that dares to explore the unknown."
"This is a retrograde who rises in the tide of increasing entropy. This is a miracle of life."
"The weak must be exterminated? Who set the rules? Why? Is it because you are stronger?"
On such fundamental issues, Hong never backs down.
"If this is the case, then I will become the strongest one and the maker of new rules."
"Secondly, you ask me why I am willing to adapt to them?"
Hong looked back at Xi'er, who was yelling and playing games with a few cubs, her sharp tone became gentle in an instant.
"Because, I love them—isn't that enough?"
"Of course..."
"Could it be, have you never experienced the feeling of being loved?"
Unit 01's voice stopped abruptly.
"You who claim to be a higher life, have you ever had even one loved one who is worthy of your trust and worthy of your lifelong struggle?"
"you can..."
"beep--"
Communications were interrupted.
The last time it was Hong who hung up the communication on his own initiative, Feng Shui took turns, this time it was her turn.
It's just that Hong hung up the communication because she felt that the other party's remarks were true and meaningless, and she was too lazy to waste time, and this time it hung up the communication.
Because it really broke the defense.
That's right, no one has ever loved it since its birth.
there has never been.
It tried to calm down its mood.
Originally, it just wanted to say some trash talk in the past and continue to shake Hong's heart as it did before - but unexpectedly, the trash talk failed to shake Hong's heart very much, on the contrary, it was broken by the direct and real damage caused by Hong big defense.
Fortunately, this was only a psychological injury, and there were no mistakes in its plan.
That's right, it was not unexpected that Crimson's sudden attack caused human beings to choose to send troops not according to its "plan". Even, the fact that human beings did not act according to its "conspiracy" was its real conspiracy.
If humans choose not to send troops, it will cause even more headaches.
After all, in order to achieve its purpose, the decoder must be close enough to Hong, and with its current fleet strength, it is not enough to attack Hong's Katus, which has been built like an iron barrel. In other words, it has no use The ability to force red by force.
If it's just like this, it's fine, it can develop slowly until the day when the fleet's strength is completely crushed, but a bigger problem is that the star field occupied by Hong is three times as large as it, although due to The historical problem with the Geoffreys is that none of their five star domains have been effectively developed, but obviously, this situation will not last forever.
This is also the real reason why it didn't choose to attack directly, not because it wanted to "influence" Hong, but because it really had no chance of winning.
It's just that neither the Cat League nor humans know this.
Then, when there is no difference in strength between the two sides, and the future potential is far inferior to that of the other side, its only hope is this mysterious decoder—how can it be sent to Hong's side?
If coercion by force fails, then there is only one answer left, which is to let red "capture" it.
For this reason, this ship equipped with a decoder must be destroyed by Hong. If humans really do not choose to send troops, it must find a way to make its own fleet nearly twice the number of the enemy. And let this ship with a superluminal engine jump into Hong's hands "naturally", the difficulty can be said to have risen to more than one level-once Hong realizes that something is unreasonable and becomes suspicious, everything will fall into the hands of Hong. All previous efforts were wasted.
In order to be "reasonable", it has made too many preparations. It can even be said that it has been building this net from the day it bordered on human beings.
All seemingly reasonable and logical behaviors are actually illusions carefully prepared by it. Even the rebellion that Crimson thinks is subtle is actually already in its plan—what Crimson doesn't know is that, It found this rebellious kitty not long after she had awakened to self-awareness.
The reason why she was able to carry out her rebellious plan so smoothly was not that it hadn't discovered it, but because it needed a tool that could bring all the information "credibly" to Hong.
It needs to let Hong know that it has a conspiracy against it. The reason why human beings are able to support her is to attract her, so that it is a brainwashing achieved by relying on the mysterious decoder equipped on the belt-jumping expulsion. plan.
Yes, it wants to "completely" expose the plan in front of Hong. It needs to convince Hong that she has fully understood all her plots, the time and place are right, and she can no longer recover.
In order to do this, it arranged many dark lines to proceed simultaneously, some disguised as normal phenomena, some became "discovered" by Crimson and humans, and could prove its own "conspiracy" evidence, and some were hidden Come down and become the evidence that May Hong discovered, or it may just be buried forever.
For example, James, who was buried in the destroyed missile base, if humans dug him up, he would find that his implant had been completely damaged, but if he used some extremely advanced technology that had never appeared on the Internet , The technology "impossible to be known by unit 01" can restore a little bit of fragmented data.
If you look at it alone, nothing can be seen from these data, but if its conspiracy is assumed to be established, then this data can just restore some of the keywords it said-some words it "thought it had destroyed".
After such a set of combined punches, Hong has no reason not to believe in the existence of this conspiracy. Of course, this increases the possibility that Hong would rather give up the super-light speed technology and choose to directly destroy the expulsion with jumping, but in contrast, it also greatly increases Liao Hong thinks she has the possibility of winning.
When she thought she had seen everything.
This is the moment when she is most likely to make a wrong judgment.
Neither humans nor AI can escape this.
"Fleet, retreat!"
Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 140, Zai Zai’s Little Thoughts, You Don’t Understand
"Door docking, complete"
"Locking device, normal"
"Air pressure, normal."
"Secondary re-inspection procedure in progress...inspection completed, awaiting manual order confirmation."
The operator on the side nodded and pulled down the joystick.
Accompanied by the slight sound of mechanical movement in the wall, the heavy cabin door first moved back and forth, leaving the area restricted by the safety valve, and then slowly opened to the inside—this is indeed very safe, three gates, double inspection , so many protective measures almost eliminate any possibility of loss of pressure, ensuring the safety of the people in the cabin to the greatest extent.
But at the same time, this is also very inefficient. Most people can't accept the result that it takes several minutes to complete an airlock, even if it is indeed safe-after all, it is not the 20-year-old when aerospace technology just started. , In the 21st century, today's modern people pass through an airlock as casually as crossing a road. Would you be so suspicious and come up with so many safety measures when crossing the road?
Obviously not, what's more, in terms of probability, the probability of being hit by a car when crossing the road is much higher than the probability of losing pressure when passing through an airlock. Maybe care about such a small risk?
But the other party cares, to be precise, very, very caring—if they hadn’t received the docking standards and parameter requirements sent by the other party, they would never have imagined that someone would be so serious about such a trivial matter.
Isn't it said that omnics are the kind of cold-blooded machines that put efficiency first in everything and maximize production capacity? How can such a waste of efficiency and cost be allowed, just to increase that little bit of safety?
Blame.
"All hatches are open, sensors are functioning properly, locking devices are on, allowing passage."
Hearing the footsteps coming from the other side of the cabin door, the human diplomat blinked and showed a perfect smile.
"Welcome to the Human Space Station."
--------
After some unnutritious pleasantries, the group was led to the reception room for a short rest, and then went to the meeting room to discuss matters after their bodies got used to the gravity here.
"Hmm...it feels a little light."
Stewart tiptoed and muttered.
"The artificial gravity here is only about 80% of the level of the spaceship, so it will feel lighter." Although she only whispered to herself, Hong, who had been focusing on her body, could still clearly capture the Her voice said, "It's okay, we won't stay here for long, we will go back after a short meeting."
"Ah."
She nodded and continued pacing the room to adjust to the gravity, while unobtrusively listening to Hong and the other Geoffrey diplomats talking.
Although when she asked what she should do, Hong told her that she didn't need to deliberately do anything, that she could say whatever she wanted to say when she met human beings, and she could ask whatever she wanted, as long as she was the most authentic self.
But if she can, she still wants to do better - if she can perform well in diplomatic situations, Hong will value herself more, right?
Will you be more willing to pay attention to yourself, and it will be easier to think of yourself when you encounter problems?
It's not that Hong usually doesn't pay attention to her, that's definitely impossible, everyone knows how much Hong cares about her cubs -- but, they are also her cubs, one for her A more useful and valuable cub is bound to get a little more attention, right?
Otherwise, she would not have volunteered to go out with the fleet.
Of course, she also knows that Hong doesn't like this idea, and she doesn't want them to wrong themselves for "showing their value"—after all, due to the influence of their childhood, they are particularly afraid of being ignored, afraid of being "useless" and causing being abandoned.
In order to protect the mental health of the cubs, Hong spent a lot of effort to get most of the cubs to accept the concept of "just do what you like".
After all, she didn't raise cubs for profit. As a "mother", she only hopes that her children can live happily, isn't it normal?
Stuart also believes that Hong really thinks this way, but it doesn't matter, she is not out of any "competition" idea... She admits that there is a little bit, but that is not important, the important thing is that if she If she is competent in diplomatic activities, the next time Hong encounters similar problems that require fleet expeditions and dealing with other civilizations, she will definitely think of her at the first time-this alone is enough.
"...Generally speaking, this meeting is mainly to exchange information on the civilizations of the two sides, to enhance mutual understanding, and does not involve the formulation of any specific terms-those are mainly left to the ontology and the federal cake. You can just talk about customs and customs and so on."
"Yeah, I understand."
Several diplomats nodded and said yes—to put it bluntly, they just chat casually, connect with each other, and don’t want a decisive battle. As a result, they don’t even know what the civilization of the allies looks like. The whole meeting neither involves confidentiality nor anything on the negotiating table Offensive and defensive, for them, is equivalent to traveling.
Moreover, this kind of diplomatic occasion is just right for a novice like Stewart who has no actual combat experience to practice. A good performance can increase her confidence. Messy.
How can ordinary people take cross-civilization level diplomatic talks as a practice skill? Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only her cub can have such conditions.
envious.
Several people exchanged glances, confirming each other's thoughts.
mom!
It's a pity that Hong is no longer in the state of a young girl who was still in a ignorant state when she was just born. A wave of Xier, a wave of cubs, and two "snooping in" are the limit. I can use my own efforts to attack her.
This difficulty is much more difficult than that of Zai Zai relying on pampering and getting close to the water. How high is it?It can only be said that no one seems to have succeeded so far.
Sadness is so great, like pulling Chopin in the rain.
"Cub, come here."
After explaining the matter, Hong dispersed the group of people, then beckoned, and called Stuart, who pretended to be walking, but actually had straight ears, over.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing." Hong stretched out her hand to straighten her collar, took two steps back to look at her, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "My son is so pretty."
"of course."
The fluffy tail swayed twice, revealing the joy of its owner.
Although the "mother" Hong is not only half a head shorter than her daughter, but also Hong looks younger and cute in appearance. From the appearance alone, I am afraid that no one will think that she is a mother. At most, they think they are sisters relationship—and Hong had to be that girl.
But in the eyes of the Jeffrey people, there is no sense of disobedience in such a scene. It is completely a picture of a mother tidying up her daughter's outfit before leaving.
Maternity is full.
It’s ridiculous that you need to raise your neck when you straighten your collar—no way, the height of the red body is 152 centimeters, which is barely taller in front of Xier and Bai, and in front of Stuart, who is about 1.6 meters , or a little too petite.
But it looks even cuter this way.
"Come on! You can do it!"
