Chapter 532: Spout
Shen Yiyi faced her father's agitation one by one, and of course she was full of confidence, of course, she had no worries. Because she herself believes that her automation idea for machine guns already belongs to the category of future weapons. Strictly speaking, it can even be said that this is another form of combat robot.
A weapon can automatically find a target, automatically make judgments, and then automatically kill the target, and the whole process no longer requires human intervention. Ability to have primary intelligence to complete the delivered task or work through autonomous judgment. Isn't that the definition of a robot? Of course, the job here is to kill.
Shen Yiyi, a technologist, is really worried about whether this weapon will be reliable on the test ground in the future. Her real concern was the ethical question of whether such a weapon would be allowed to be developed.
In fact, since the day the computer was invented, human wisdom has been thinking far-sightedly, and of course, it can be said that it is unfounded to consider a question, that is, what to do when computers will be powerful enough to challenge humans. It was from that moment that the famous Asimov Three Principles became an important yardstick for the ethical discussion of computers. The most important of these is that computers can never harm humans.
The problem is that the ultimate goal of this research led by Shen Yiyi this time is not only to harm human beings, but even to eliminate human beings. Although Shen Yiyi can defend himself, the object of this destruction is the enemy, not our own people, but the enemy is also human beings. This is the biggest controversy in ethics. Shen Yiyi didn't want future generations to recall her conversation with her father today, and regarded the conversation between the two as the key to the end of the war to start the robot's extermination war against humanity. So. Before she goes home today to discuss with her father, she has made a big change to her original design vision.
However, based on Shen Yiyi's understanding of his father. His father was a pure soldier, so he probably wouldn't be interested in the ethics of weapons. Military personnel should focus on the short-term goal, that is, how to complete the elimination of the enemy in the shortest possible time and reduce their own casualties as much as possible. In this case, Shen Yiyi thought that his invention should be very appetizing to Commander Shen. So, not only did she not tell her father about the possibility of a major change to this civilization, but she also decided to at least test it out in his army. Or stick to the original design. Such a design may impress these pure soldiers in the army, which will make them ask for more budget from above.
Of course, at present, Shen Yiyi still has to strengthen his father's confidence in his weapon.
"Dad. You can rest assured. I'm sure if you're going to lead a team and do a confrontation drill in person, we'll not have live ammunition in our machine guns. Only drill shells are loaded. You'll know how good this thing will be. Shen Yiyi persuaded Commander Shen tirelessly.
Shen Jianguo was a little skeptical. But he has always been actively supportive of his daughter's military inventions. He thought for a moment and said to his daughter, "Okay. When the time comes, I'll choose my own camp and set up some of the machine guns you designed outside. But only if your machine gun can be completed by then. ”
The more Shen's mother listened, the more wrong she felt. It sounds like her husband is not listening to his request, but is encouraging his daughter to do that dangerous thing. This made Shen's mother very dissatisfied.
"Shen Jianguo! What's wrong with you? I told you that my daughter can't touch something that is so dangerous. It's a gun. It is said that knives and guns have no eyes, and you let us do it one by one in case something goes wrong in the process of testing the bomb, so what should we do? Yang Rui yelled at her husband with some annoyance.
It's just that this time, Commander Shen did not accept Taizuo's decree unreservedly as usual. On the contrary. He said to his wife very seriously: "Yang Rui, you are too excited. ”
It may be that he was a little surprised that Commander Shen's reaction was not expected. Shen's mother is a flurry. However, she was not given time to react, and Shen Jianguo continued to express his opinion.
"Yes, the knife and gun are eyeless. But what are we? We're soldiers! No matter how much other people don't want to get close to such a dangerous weapon, if a country is big, someone must always take up arms to defend the country. If everybody thinks only about leaving danger and not going to dangerous places, then the country and the nation will repeat the bullying of a century ago. And once again, our people will be in greater danger of becoming slaves to the slaughter of man! ”
"Today you told our daughter not to touch a gun. But the mothers of the soldiers in our barracks, would they want their sons to be in such a dangerous situation? Don't their parents want their children to be like you, preferably in an environment free of any danger? But is it possible? ”
"Yes. Parents want their children to have a smooth and safe life. But other parents can, and you, as a family member of a soldier, shouldn't say such things. Because the families of military personnel are the ones who can best understand the sentence of dedication. ”
Mother Shen listened to her husband's sonorous words and did not make a sound. She could understand why her husband was saying this. She also admits that her previous statement of keeping her daughter away from guns seemed ironic to her husband's ears, or even to the ears of any military family. However, the reason why she said this naturally has her own reasons.
After her husband finished saying this paragraph, Shen's mother looked up at her husband: "Shen Jianguo, are you finished?" Yes. I know that you have a lofty realm, but I am afraid that others will say that you are special. Truth be told, we've been married for so many years, have you found out that I'm a two-faced person? I am also a soldier, a military doctor, and like you in wartime, I have to go to the front. Do you say I'm not brave? But don't forget that those rules and regulations are requirements for soldiers. And our one by one is not yet a military man. She's just an ordinary girl. It is the object of protection of our soldiers. Am I wrong for keeping her away from firearms? ”
"Of course you're mistaken." Commander Shen said very seriously, "You are wrong. You forgot that our daughter is more than just an ordinary college student. She is a national defense orientation student at Tsinghua University. ”
Shi Po's shocking words blew up Shen's mother and Shen Yiyi one by one. Over the years, Shen Yiyi has always been among the best when he was studying at Tsinghua University, and he is also a popular figure in the school, and even runs around the world to promote his career. All life is a free and easy time to spend your youth, but you forget one thing. It turned out that the hands and feet that Captain Shen did back then made Shen Yiyi in the case of Tsinghua's special recruitment. He also became a national defense orientation student.
No matter what kind of considerations Commander Shen had back then, he must have put Shen Yiyi into the army of national defense students. Shen Yiyi and Shen's mother really haven't taken the identity of the national defense orientation student seriously the same thing over the years. So this time, I suddenly heard Comrade Shen Jianguo talk about this matter, and everyone who heard it was stunned.
Commander Shen didn't care what his wife and daughter's reaction was. He continued along his train of thought: "It doesn't matter what Yiyi's current identity is. In the future, after she graduates, she will enter the army. You say that a national defense orientation student, but does not touch a gun or a cannon, how can he become a qualified soldier in the future? Is this still my Shen Jianguo's daughter?! ”
Shen's mother became angry all of a sudden: "Shen Jianguo! If you don't mention it, I've almost forgotten about it. Today you bring it up. Then let's settle the old score! I told you back then. One by one, our family will not join the army in the future. My daughter is also angry, whether it is studies or hobbies, she is very good, and she doesn't let us worry about being parents. But what did you do back then? The opportunity for early admission that your daughter won by herself, and you also made it a national defense orientation student. Which tendon did you make the wrong ride and pit your daughter like this?! ”
Commander Shen was also on fire. He can accept his wife's usual little temper to make up for the guilt that as a soldier, he often can't take care of the family. But this does not mean that he can tolerate his wife's slander of the army. Let your daughter enter the army, can this be called a pit daughter? Let's put it this way. Our majestic and mighty army has become a giant pit? This Yang Rui is becoming more and more disagreeable.
talked about the fact that he made his father a national defense orientation student. Shen Yiyi himself was a little helpless. I think that because of this incident, I didn't throw my face at my father less. You must know that her original dream was to fight for her own world in technology and business. The military is the least free group in the country, with inconvenient entry and exit, and strict discipline to endure. This is what a lazy person like her is willing to accept. Of course, because I was busy with my own affairs after entering school, I gradually forgot about it. But now this wound has been torn open by Commander Shen again. Shen Yiyi really wanted to throw his face a few more times to this troublesome father.
But looking at it here, it seems that my father and mother are about to start arguing again. Shen Yiyi still decided not to do some more things that fuel the fire. She didn't want to go home once today, and ended up having a big fight with her father and mother. You can't be so bothered! As for the national defense orientation student, Shen Yiyi actually estimated it. Even if they enter the army, they are unlikely to go to the front-line troops, but will stay in the scientific research institutions in the army, or some branches of the military that have relatively high requirements for professional technology. Compared with the front-line combat units, these units still have less constraints. Of course, no amount of less can compare to ordinary people. But at least there, Shen Yiyi still has the conditions to do his own research.
So Shen Yiyi really began to persuade his parents to fight. Just kidding, she will have to convince her father to help her solve the most urgent problem at present, that is, the problem of collaboration on the subject, but she can't let her parents quarrel at the beginning, and then lose the atmosphere of communication with her father.
"Oops, Mom. I know you hurt me the most. But this thing has already become like this, and it is not worth it for you to be in a hurry about this matter. Let's still look forward. You see, where would someone like me have the opportunity to go to the most dangerous places? Besides, if you think that the guns you get from your daughter and me will explode, then you really underestimate your daughter and me. I'm a top student at Tsinghua University, don't I know how to do the math? Where will there be an explosion accident that can only occur when a gun is made by the local method? Shen Yi adjusted the tension in his parents' quarrels, and at the same time strengthened his credibility in front of his mother.
Yang Rui actually didn't want to quarrel herself. It's just that when she thinks of her husband's stubbornness when he mentions the affairs of the army, she can't help but start gritting her teeth. But as his daughter said, everything has already happened, no matter how noisy it is, in addition to hurting the feelings of the husband and wife and poisoning the family atmosphere, what is the superfluous use? Seeing what he was worried about for his daughter, his daughter didn't take it seriously. This kind of inhuman feeling made Shen's mother spit out a sentence and then go back to do her own thing.
Shen Yiyi looked at Shen's mother who left after saying "It's okay if you're happy" to herself, and felt a little relieved. Fortunately, my mother still listened to my own persuasion. Otherwise, I would really become a candle burning at both ends.
Looking at Commander Shen, who was still a little excited, Shen Yiyi said, "Dad, it's okay." Mom is now gone. Let's talk about how you can help me get this invention out of it. I tell you, you won't regret it. This is a rare and promising project. ”
"So how do you think Dad can help you? Didn't I already say that you can send me a few guns that you have successfully prototyped, and I will give you the opportunity to test them during the exercise? ”
Shen Yiyi pursed his lips one by one and said to Commander Shen, "Dad, you're not mistaken, right?" I mean, you're going to help me design the gun. At least you have to provide me with two machine guns so that I can complete the modification of the machine guns?! Otherwise, where would I be able to get a gun for you? It is against the law for our country to produce guns privately. If you want to help you modify the gun, you can. (To be continued.) )
