The Godsfall Chronicles

Chapter 825: Carrot Plus Sticks

After a full presence, the other side finally attracted the attention of senior officials. The first time, the two people were taken to the city administration center and received personally by the President of the Federation of the Earth, Tang Zhonghua.

“Long time no see, Lord Cloud Eagle. Your gear is very special. ”

The spirited old man, aged sixty or seventy, walked to the cloud hawk, wearing a brushed black suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and it didn't look much different from the original, except that there seemed to be a little more exhaustion between the eyebrows.

“Please excuse me for taking the liberty to visit. ”

“You're welcome. ”

They shook hands and said hello.

“You two come in and talk. ”

Tang Zhonghua walked into a conference center and let all the security personnel back down. There is no need to take close security measures in front of the new humans, especially the cloud hawk, where the ghost has not come and gone. There are 10,000 ways to solve this Tang Zhonghua.

The hall is spotlessly stained, from the walls and even the floor is an informative display platform, the three of us have just walked in, the automatic table has been triangulated and three comfortable white seats have been opened, from which three hot drinks have been served.

“Both of you, I think I'm clear.” As soon as Tang Zhonghua sat down, he opened the door and said: "We had recently convened a summit to discuss support for the battle for new humanity and are also voting in the General Assembly on a resolution. ”

The cloudhawk asked, "How did it go? ”

“It went well, with more than two-thirds of the votes in favour of the act of support, and the proposal could have been adopted in accordance with our democratic regulations and the relevant constitution, except…” Tang Zhonghua said that it seemed a little difficult, "but in the final stages it was rejected by his father. ”

The cloud hawk naturally knows that.

Tang Zhonghua explained: "Father is the supreme guardian of the Ark base and city, divided by rank, higher than the Federal Central President. According to the Constitution, the father has the right to a veto, regardless of any major choice.”

The flower on the other side asks, "Is there no room for good offices? ”

“I'm afraid it's very difficult.” Tang Zhonghua sighed, “My father's analysis suggests that the Ark Base Assistance Green Alliance is too risky and could trigger some potential crises, so he rejected the proposal from a protection perspective. As artificial intelligence, all judgments are based on big data-based inference and analysis, and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for an absolutely rational father to change his mind. ”

Somewhere there are rivers and lakes.

There will inevitably be controversy over the rivers and lakes.

There may be two identical leaves or stones in this world, but there will never be two identical humans inside and outside. After all, humans are not robots, so it is simply not possible to do this if we want to keep the group united.

Tang Zhonghua belongs to the pro-Green Alliance, or pro-New Humanity.

Many old humans oppose even the exclusion of new humankind. Fathers and some of the old humans oppose supporting the Green Alliance and can find a dozen or twenty points, but in the end there are only two.

First, fear that the battle between the new humankind and the Green Alliance could wreak havoc on the Base.

Secondly, the gap between old and new human beings in individual power is too great. If old and new human beings deepen their exchanges in the future, they will only use their own strengths to squeeze the living space of old human beings, which seems to be harmful to old human beings without exception.

People always have a sense of security as their primary survival factor.

There's no guarantee of security. What other conditions?

Neither the Divine Nation nor new humans with special abilities or a high degree of evolution can create a sense of security.

Tang Zhonghua's group's willingness to assist the Green Alliance does not rule out the desire to retaliate against the return of the Divine Clan to their homeland, but on top of these sentiments, it is more desirable that resources, energy, genes, artifacts, etc. provided by the Green Alliance continue to be harvested during the course of the war.

Let's get this straight.

Take a look at the ancient history of mankind.

War is synonymous with disaster and death, but also with progress and transcendence.

Every time a war broke out, it was time to wash away the cards of technological and social progress.

Tang Zhonghua realizes that the weak body of the old humans is bound by a brief lifespan. It is possible that it will only be able to shrink in this small base for thousands of years to come. It will almost never be able to leave the planetary system. Therefore, since contact has occurred, it should not resist and escape.

Old humans must become stronger.

This will ensure your survival status.

The two concepts were conflicting, and it was hard to say who was right or wrong, and it was clear that the father was standing conservative.

The role of artificial intelligence is to ensure that humans can survive, and as for whether there is development and what state to live in, this is not a concern for artificial intelligence, which naturally, under the computational logic of artificial intelligence, is proactive in avoiding risk.

“This is not a very good thing. ”

There's nothing you can do about the flowers on the other side. Can't you just turn off your father?

Not to mention whether or not this can be done, but the father maintains all the ecology of the entire ark base, and Earth City is only a small fraction of the vast ark base, and once it disappears, the consequences are unthinkable.

“We cannot go against the basic constitution, and if we do not go through the circle of fathers, the proposal simply cannot be passed through the Court of First Instance, let alone sent to the principal organs. But we can use some of our privileges, within our means, to call in our inventory of equipment, and do a little bit of thin work for the same reason. ”

This is already the best that can be achieved so far.

Fathers allow a small number of new humans to appear on the planet. A small number of new humans cannot pose a threat to the base of the Ark. They can also be the object of fathers' observation and research. However, old and new humans are too frequent in their exchanges and contacts and may threaten the survival of old humans, which is not allowed.

The flower on the other side looked at the eagle and asked, "What do you think? ”

“I need to speak directly with your father.” The cloudhawk stood up and looked up at the ceiling: “I knew you could see and hear, and I asked you to show up. ”

Tang Zhonghua did not stop the cloud eagle from doing this.

How could a cloud hawk show up in a place like this and hide it from his father?

Father was a powerful artificial intelligence a thousand years ago, and over the course of this millennium, it has long been everywhere, so now in Earth City, crime is almost zero, because as long as Father wants to know, there is never a precedent for failure.

The closed doors of the conference rooms were suddenly opened automatically, and dozens of robots walked in and made electronically synthesized noises from them: "Please follow me. ”

The cloud eagle gave the flowers on the other side an eye.

Flowers on the other side will agree that she will stay and continue to interact with Tang Zhonghua to understand the level of equipment of the old humans and possible cooperation matters.

Once again, the cloud eagle was brought into the hall of the four walls of an empty man, so white and spotless, that a voice came from all sides: "The conductor has no right to ask the Ark base to participate in the war, so please go back. ”

Father is an artificial intelligence.

It has self-will, but the self-will of artificial intelligence, is a completely different concept from the self-will of normal intelligence. For humans, everything can only be with emotions, all derived from the most primitive instincts.

Human instincts are all about survival and reproduction, and on top of these two basic instincts, many primitive impulses, such as the possession of quality resources, the possession of ideal spouses, whether it be fierce emotions or wars of extinction of humanity, are all derivatives of primitive instincts and impulses.

Artificial intelligence is the absence of physiological instincts.

For them, their instincts stem from the instructions that were written at the core of their intellect when they were created, so for their father, sheltering human beings is his instinct, which is why for so many years, the father has been working so hard to defend human beings.

But father is already a mature intelligent body.

It's full of logic and wisdom. Sometimes people can overcome instincts. Why can't this artificial intelligence overcome their instincts? The core instruction brands the father like an ideological brand for everything he does, but this is ultimately different from an ideological brand, which does not deny anything that is opposite.

“My presence here today has nothing to do with the war itself, just to talk business with the pan base.” The cloudhawk said directly: “We don't need Ark Base to support the battlefield, we just need Ark Base to open up the trading market and provide us with logistical production and equipment weapons. Whatever Ark Base wants, we can negotiate, cooperate and mutually benefit. ”

Father repeats his point again: "The facilitator, no matter what you say, cannot change the nature of this matter. I cannot put human beings at risk, and therefore cannot accept your offer. ”

“Really?” Eagle smiled calmly: “Old humans can be worry-free without being involved in the Battle of the Demons. If you think so, it's too naive. From the moment I found you, you're doomed to no longer be as calm and peaceful as before. Don't forget, the gates to this planet are in my hands, not yours. ”

Father said slowly: "Even if the Green Alliance wanted to use force, Ark Base would not be afraid. ”

“The Green Alliance is too busy to threaten the Ark Base right now, but have you ever wondered why I would use this stupid method if I were to drag the Ark Base into the water?” The Cloud Eagle said, "The Demon King has marked the space of this planet, and when I reveal the location of this planet to the Divine Nation, what will the Almighty Father do? ”

Cloud eagles are full of threats.

That's right, he's here to threaten.

Artificial intelligence cannot be provoked at all, let alone made emotional decisions like humans, so the purpose of threatening artificial intelligence is not to provoke him, but to make him aware of possible new changes.

You're not a good boy, are you?

Well, it's a big deal that we die together, disclosing the location of the Ark base directly to the Divine Clan, and trying to destroy the planet with the power of the Divine Clan, isn't that easy!

Now that it's in the event, don't think you can walk away from it.

Father spoke slowly and his tone did not fluctuate: "According to my analysis of you, you are less than 2% likely to do so. ”

“Rabbits rush and bite, and when people are in despair, they can do anything. After all these years with humans, you should be well aware of the complexity of human nature.” If, one day, the Green Alliance can't hold out under the divine offensive, and my loved ones, friends, students and compatriots are facing extinction, do you think I will continue to hide it or throw you out to attract fire? ”

Father fell into a brief silence.

As an all-powerful super artificial intelligence, this possibility is already in its calculations, and with his analysis of cloud eagles, this person is extremely unlikely to make this choice, while the risk factor to choose entry is higher.

“What is the difference between you tying tens of millions of people to the base of the Ark and God's practice of keeping mankind in the divine domain? Population will swell, resources will eventually run out, and nonprogressive civilizations will inevitably perish, and humans are not pets and should not be so reclaimed.” Cooperate with me, Green Alliance Resource Intelligence Technologies, all shared with the Ark Base, and the old humans will keep up with the process of history, and may face some risks, but will not be eliminated. ”

Speaking of which,

The cloudhawk raised one hand.

There was a split space, a massive pile of bodies, and instantly a hill formed.

The father immediately scanned the released bodies and found that they were not human, but rather a genetically unique and powerful organism.

“These are divine soldiers whose bodies should be of immense value, and I think you can extract countless useful things with your abilities.” What the eagle threw out was a god soldier who had not yet been conceived, "such a resource Green Alliance later, as long as the Ark base fully supplied equipment and weapons, as long as the battlefield storm fell into bloodshed and sacrificed, we did it ourselves. ”

Father kept scanning the body of the Divine Soldier.

The genes in the Divine Soldier are all magically modified.

This information has helped immensely to perfect the old human race, and it may even be said that the special genetic pool in the Divine Family is an endless treasure, perhaps really helping the old human race to complete a historic evolution.

Cloud Eagle didn't make things complicated, because in front of super artificial intelligence, defense skills are useless, and the gorgeous and complex art of bargaining can't break the other party's super rational and rigorous logical defense, so it's easy to deal with this kind of guy.

Big stick with radish, that's enough.

Ark base does not cooperate, everyone is finished together.

New humans can't beat the Divine Nation and will never make old humans better.

The Ark Base cooperates without having to confront the risks directly, and the Divine Nation is not necessarily able to spot them, but they can accumulate countless resources for the Base by selling arms and equipping it with war money, which can at least allow the Ark Base to develop smoothly for thousands of years.

With luck, Father can complete a transformational evolution for all mankind.
