Chapter 8047: Source, Standard, Balance
An easy way to see if a religion belongs to a classical sect with a history is to see if there are descriptions of honey and bees in its texts.
That's right, in addition to maple syrup, in the classical era, human beings could only obtain a large amount of sugary substances from the hive, so in the classical era and in the early Age of Discovery, when the cane sugar and sugar beet cultivation industries were not established, sweetness was something that only the upper class of society could enjoy, so all the religions of that period invariably gave honey a high, holy and other views, and at the same time, various religions copied each other's explanations for bees' honey-making behavior.
In other words, without bees and honey, a large number of religious texts and literary works would lose their "legitimacy".
And Titan is an organization that strongly rejects religious thinking, and in Phoebe's plan, including the floating island for the Queen of England, religious buildings are also prohibited, but like the Atlantic floaters, only religious ships are docked on the edge of the floating islands, so to a certain extent, Titan is quite hated by religious people.
But in the face of more and more developed technology, all bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have to retreat, at least in the eyes of Phoebe, religion is the most imprisoned in human thoughts, she and Titan need the sudden flash of human thought, to maintain Titan's scientific and technological superiority, so in the attitude towards religion, Phoebe's Titan will inevitably be more exclusive than other industrial capital forces, therefore, Phoebe must eliminate all bees, whether wild or artificially bred.
Of course, Phoebe doesn't intend to exterminate plants that need bee pollination, Titan has a new breed of bees that have been genetically modified, and this artificially created swarm of wasps, bees, and ants can be seen as a game of zergs with both ground and flying classes - after all, ants, bees, and wasps are essentially the same species.
Careful analysis can find that the earliest cultural plagiarism in human society started from various religions - no way, for those who spread religion, if they don't plagiarize, they will really die, not only will they not be able to preach, but they will also be killed, so all religions will copy local religions in a big way in the propagation stage, and because of this plagiarism phenomenon, it led to the initial religious differences and laid the foundation for the later religious reform.
It is always said that it was Martin Luther in Germany who started the Reformation, but in fact, if it were not for the fact that Germany was not the same at that time, there would have been a significant difference in Catholic doctrine for thirty miles, and a person like Martin Luther would not have had a chance to appear at all.
From a certain point of view, it is plagiarism that leads to the prosperity of religious society, and similarly, it is also plagiarism that leads to the division of this society, which in turn promotes the further development of human society.
From the current point of view, some religions are good at plagiarism, and some religions seem to be reluctant to plagiarize, but in fact, all religions that have not plagiarized have long since disappeared.
Therefore, some religions that claim to have unchangeable doctrines actually have a theoretical basis for change, but for some other reason, no one wants to change them.
As mentioned earlier, the purpose of Phoebe's plan was never to achieve a single result, and the same is true of the plan to eliminate bees, on the one hand, this plan is to leverage the sanctity of religious texts, and on the other hand, the ant bees that have been genetically modulated by Titan cannot build nests in the natural environment, because the queen bee cannot give birth without the photoelectric information guidance of the hive robot. On the one hand, this prevents someone from stealing ant bees in the future, and on the other hand, it is also to lay the foundation for Titan to deploy hive robots around the world after the bees are eradicated.
Phoebe's Titan has never been a company that gets into the eyes of money, and when it comes to deploying hive robots, Titan will not charge exorbitant fees for the deployment area. This avoids the extinction of wild plants in poor areas due to lack of pollinators, which in turn leads to major changes in the natural environment.
Of course, just like the hive robots deployed in a grid on the Atlantic floaters, the hive robots around the world also have a role to be responsible for monitoring - for Titan, for Phoebe, global monitoring is a very meaningful thing.
In their view, if Titan covers more than 60% of the world's land with a hive robot surveillance network, it will be equivalent to the United States having an unexpected logistical and intelligence resource guarantee for future special operations operations, so compared to Titan, Langley and the Special Operations Command are now attaching great importance to Titan's plan.
That's right, Titan is indeed delivery-oriented in the deployment of hive robots, but it can get more benefits after building a hive robot monitoring network, both in terms of money and influence.
However, this function of the hive robot, whether it is Titan or its allies, is all regarded as top secret and will not be known to the outside world. And when the hive robot is promoted, Titan and its allies will also try to promote another thing, that is, after the deployment of the hive robot, it is equivalent to creating new employment opportunities for the local area, after all, ant bees also make honey, and those beekeepers who are eliminated because of bees will naturally not lose their jobs, and at the same time, the honey brewed by ants and bees in the hive robots deployed in various regions far away from people can be completely handed over to the local government. Warlords or monopolies are responsible for collecting and selling, and Titan only takes a commission in this matter - this is a "commercial cooperation" with all the bees in the world being eradicated and honey production completely monopolized by hive robots.
There are always people who like to talk about first-class enterprises setting standards, but in the eyes of people at the level of Phoebe, who has the ability to create and plan the industrial chain is the party that holds the power, and those companies that set standards are just first-class in the industrial chain.
It's like a crocodile in a fish pond, which seems to be very ferocious, but if there is no fish pond built by humans, this crocodile is nothing at all.
As long as Phoebe's ant bee plan can be successfully implemented, then Titan will be a group that has mastered the source of three industrial chains - the manufacturing and application technology of the maze system, the construction and management technology of iceberg-like floating islands, and the global deployment of hive robots.
These three new industrial chains are completely newly developed by Phoebe, and they have not set foot in the competition for control of the traditional industrial chains in the United States.
Of course, Titan is not completely uninvolved in other industrial chains, such as the maintenance and maintenance of military ships, the mining of rare metals, the production of food crops, the intervention in the aerospace field, etc., but Titan has been very careful in this regard, and has not led to a counterattack by vested interests.
The only thing that Titan can now lead to attacks by certain vested interests is its attitude towards religion.
This contradiction is irreconcilable, as mentioned earlier, Phoebe and Titan need the sparkle in the human mind, but religion will cause human beings to only think along the lines of thought given by religious thought, and for Phoebe, who has no ability to create, any religion is sinful.
However, it should be noted that although Phoebe is in direct conflict with the fact that religion imprisons human thoughts, it does not mean that Phoebe is unexpectedly anti-religious in Titan. Phoebe admits that religion is, to a certain extent, a useful supplement to the social management system, whether it is Elans or Christ, whether it is reformism or fundamentalism, it is based on the local social reality, and it has its basis for existence and soil for development, and Phoebe does not intend to be a savior, she only wants to obtain the shining point in human thought.
In other words, the Fundamentalists can also help provide the human sparkle that Phoebe needs, and of course, the sparkle does not come from them, but other ordinary people who are stimulated by their actions.
Phoebe's opposition to religion is, in essence, to plant a variety of logic bombs in all religions, and when a religion begins to upset the balance that Phoebe wants and expand its adherents, Phoebe can instantly and fundamentally destroy the belief base of that religion.
Of course, this is bound to cause a lot of chaos, so Phoebe is only seriously digging the pit now, not thinking about who to bury yet.
And in essence, although the influence of religion has been completely removed from Enceladus, Titan still has a religious atmosphere, as I said before, everyone regards Phoebe as an idol, Phoebe actually understands that when people are faced with the unknown, when facing something that has an infinite range of understanding of human beings, perceptual thinking will ask humans to seek an existence that can limit the infinite to a finite, so although she clearly stopped the employees and the new allies who are now worshiping her, but everyone can see that Phoebe is not particularly hard at refusingγ
This is also the reason why in Phoebe's mind, the number of Titan employees will not exceed five million at most, because Titan is actually more thorough than any religion in terms of imprisoning thoughts, but all this is hidden under the two things of Enceladus's huge information base and open information to employees.
Of course, Phoebe will not tell anyone, she is using artificial intelligence, especially Asteria to control the Enceladus, including Barbara now, after all, artificial intelligence is more credible than humans, but humans are not completely at ease with artificial intelligence.
"We flew through the Bering Strait. Barbara said as she leaned over the porthole and looked at it.
Phoebe didn't speak, but her hands were clawed, and the three-dimensional text interface displayed by the maze terminal on the TT91 kept typing something, Phoebe has been deploying plans for a long time, all of them are input with three-dimensional text, and then transformed into human text language by an artificial intelligence, not because Phoebe doesn't want to be a human anymore, but because the text language describes the plan, especially her multi-functional plan will be very laborious, and writing the plan is also very time-consuming.
Barbara turned her head to look at Phoebe and said, "It is estimated that they will be interviewed by the media in Los Angeles today, what do you think Fox and News Corp will do?"
Phoebe raised her head this time and shook it slightly: "I don't know, but through the reports after the sisters were interviewed, we can roughly determine what News Corp. thinks, isn't it?"
Barbara nodded, of course she saw that when Phoebe was talking to herself, ten fingers were still inserted into the 3D control interface to type something, and glanced at the 3D characters that were constantly changing as Phoebe's fingers played, Barbara shook her head, and said, "Didn't I tell you that Paramount started to start the project research about the script you asked me to check last time?"
Phoebe nodded and said, "I know, but it was before, and now it's now, and I'm not interested in this script anymore, and if Paramount wants to shoot it, it's not impossible to buy out the script." β
Barbara smiled and shook her head, "But you still want an MTV relationship, do you?"
Phoebe paused and asked, "Well, what new ideas do you have again?" β
Barbara laughed, sat upright, and said, "I just thought of that." Viacom and News Corp. are in a relationship of mutual ownership, so it must know the cause and effect of Girls' Generation's nomination, right?"
"More than seventy percent likely. Phoebe nodded.
"In the field of television, there is no doubt that Viacom, a TV group focused on making content, is more popular in various countries. You're going for that, too, whether it's CBS, MTV, right?"
Phoebe pulled her hand out of the display interface, spread it out, and said, "Of course, but you know, Girls' Generation is destined to take the road of singing first and then filming, if it is purely an opportunity for actors, it is not a good thing for the current Girls' Generation." β
Barbara smiled: "You said before, to set up a branch of Metro Film and Television Company in Wales and shoot a Warhammer 20K derivative TV series, I think you can change it and cooperate with Viacom, after all, in terms of word-of-mouth, their group's works have better content and are easier to promote." β
Phoebe tilted her head and thought for a moment: "It's not impossible, but you know that the Warhammer adaptation rights we got can only be used by ourselves, and after Viacom is brought in, the copyright owner may file a lawsuit because of this." β
Barbara knew that in this kind of incident, Phoebe's focus has never been to make money, but to create social effects like the manufacturing industry chain, so she nodded: "I know, but don't forget, Viacom has a stake in News Corporation, and News Corp also has Viacom, The Sun will not ignore it, for you, making money is secondary, but for these two groups, making money is the main thing, as long as you want, they are willing to kneel down and use you as a stool." β
Phoebe gave Barbara a strange look, and Barbara laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Okay, it's okay to say that to ordinary people, but you're different." I mean, I mean, by having Viacom step in, we can send another signal to News Corp that we're not going to target them, so that no matter what, even in the worst-case scenario, there's nothing wrong with Girls' Generation, how about that?"
Phoebe nodded after Barbara finished speaking: "Well, what you said makes sense, but you forgot, in the TV series that the Welsh branch is going to shoot, I have to take the lead, I have to have the right to put my sisters in the series, if Viacom intervenes, this matter will become a commercial operation." β
Barbara spread her hands and said: "This is the relationship between MTV, country music and other public broadcasting channels, and this is the appearance of British TV dramas, you choose." β
"......" Phoebe was silent for a short time, and then handed the on-board phone to Barbara, who smiled and winked at Phoebe smugly, and took the call......
