By the time the mission had progressed, the situation had changed considerably from the beginning.

The most important reason for this change is, of course, the appearance of Wu Xiaoqing's clones.

Seven days after Wu Qing cooperated with the federal government, the search and rescue ship received countless radio messages from the federation.

In the original, all the radios of the Federation were controlled by the laws of war, except for the encrypted military radio, the search and rescue ship could hardly find any signal in the entire galaxy......

But now, apparently, the federal government has begun to liberalize such regulations.

"Because we don't have any value to them anymore." While Wu Xiaoqing was eating breakfast, he told Xu Yan his judgment.

Actually, they should have thought of it a long time ago.

The Federation is a civilization at war, and it is a war that is critical to their survival, and under this premise, everything else, aliens, search and rescue teams...... Stand aside. In retrospect, they must have vaguely sensed that something was wrong from the moment the federal government approached them to attend a convention, not to mention that they later offered to meet in a virtual setting.

is also because of the habitual thinking of the earthlings, at the beginning, Wu Xiaoqing thought about the risk of meeting the most, for fear that after the real person went to meet the other party, he would be directly detained and tortured as a hostage...... So after the other party put forward this idea, they immediately agreed.

Now that I think about it, I still think less.

Now, the Federalists have got what is most important to them, intelligent replicas that don't have to suffer legal consequences...... It can be said that they no longer have a need for search and rescue teams, and naturally they no longer need to be vigilant - through this period of time with each other, the Federation people should obviously be able to feel that there are no weapons on the search and rescue ship, or even if there are, the collection team is not willing to use them against the Federation.

In addition, the search and rescue team is still in contact with the intellectual and physical aspects, no matter what the reason, it is time to release a little information and give a step forward for the two sides to ease relations.

Most of the information from the people of the Federation is meaningless, and the content in it is not detached from the content of the report given by Wu Qing before. Many federal political groups are trying to emulate the KPA, garnering a little support from search and rescue teams to expand their influence.

Of course, there are also many messages whose purpose is very simple, including for the peace of the universe and the future of civilization...... Some keyboard visionaries. Many people even tried to put forward their desire to join the civilization of the collection team and contribute to their rescue cause.

There is no need to reply to these messages, according to the principle of confidentiality of the search and rescue team, the less communication with them is naturally the better, so now Wu Xiaoqing can only look at countless greetings to them in a daze, and after watching more, he will become impatient.

In the final analysis, the imagination of these Federation people on aliens is basically no different from that of earthlings, or they are one-sided about good and evil, thinking that they are great good people, and they want to join, and they feel that their character is peace-loving, and they want to bring this peace to the whole universe and carry it forward; Those who think that they are great evildoers naturally warn them not to covet the Federation now, even if the Federation people are now at war, they are not easy to mess with; Other than that, it's something else to ask of them.

Of this vast amount of information, only one or two were noticed by Wu Xiaoqing.

One is from Changbai, who participated in the government's training program for Wu Xiaoqing's clones, and sent them back through this channel.

The exposure of this plan has a great psychological comfort effect on Wu Xiaoqing himself, it turns out that Wu Xiaoqing always thinks that he pushed those clones into hell, but now Changbai has let him see the true situation of hell, and he feels more acceptable.

Throughout the training program, the Federalists did not torture the clones, and tossed them with pain and mental torture - in fact, it was not beneficial for military training, and caused unnecessary revolt. From beginning to end, it was just simple military training, and the necessary screening.

Even for those who have been screened out, the process is not difficult for them to accept.

The deletion operation is just a deletion, and perhaps humans will subconsciously associate it with death, but it is not. From the dialogue with these clones, one can reveal the fact that they do not show a particular fear of being deleted, but rather, for those who are deleted, allowing themselves to be deleted is even their subjective desired outcome.

Compared to a truly physical life, the data deletion of a replica is undoubtedly the most gentle form of euthanasia. There is no pain, no sadness, and the deleted can even be stopped at the last minute - as long as they are willing to cooperate with the federal government and return to normal training.

When Wu Xiaoqing saw these news, the number of replicas had exceeded 200 million, and this number was still rising exponentially, and the number of deletions was not more than 30,000, in terms of the "birth and death ratio", it can already be said that it was far higher than that of any real society, because of the continuous addition of a large number of replicas, the organization composed of the entire replicas could even be considered a rather viable organization.

Another piece of news, naturally, came from the intellectual body.

The Federals are now loosening radio control, which means a lot of it, that is, to expose the cooperation agreement they have reached with the replicators - and even to imply that the cooperation was initiated by the search and rescue team. While this is true, the Federalists don't know about it — but they tend to use it to undermine diplomatic relations between the Intellectuals and search and rescue teams.

This time, Zhiti did not even pass on the message through Yevgeny, but directly contacted the search and rescue team. Its meaning is simple - there is going to be war. He will not pursue cooperation between the clones and the Federation, but in the next war, I hope the search and rescue team will not interfere.

It turned out that it was the most ideal strategy for the Mind to continue to hold on, but because of the growing number of replicas, the Mind Body's greatest strategic advantage disappeared, and time returned to the side of the Federation in this war.

Wu Xiaoqing, Shen Changwen and the search and rescue team just briefly discussed a few words, and then replied to Zhiti: "Yes." ”

At this point in the mission, it was good to just have to go with the flow, because in any case, the worst outcome would not come - because the intensity of the war began to increase unprecedentedly, and neither side would be focusing on the colonial ship.

Originally, the first need for colonial ships was actually the Federation, and the biggest reason why they built colonial ships was of course because the number of troops was incomparable to the number of intelligent bodies, so they could only think of escaping through colonial ships. But now that there are replicas, the only thing they need to do is to devote all the planetary resources they have at their disposal to this war to the greatest extent.

A lot of news from the Federation shows that there is no doubt that the Federation has put on hold the construction of colonial ships, and now each of the twelve planets under its control is trying its best to build warships, and this crazy construction has even increased the surface temperature of several important industrial planets by dozens of degrees - in the words of the Federation, the Federation is almost melting the stars into ships.

The intellectual and physical colonization ship was originally set up for the Federation, and its biggest purpose was not actually colonization, but to organize the colonization of the Federation. As a highly integrated form of civilization, the civilization of the intellectual body is not suitable for interstellar exploration at all. The existence of the intellect body itself is a common collection of countless individual AI consciousnesses, and its dependence requires a huge order of magnitude support. If the colonization ship is adopted, then the consciousness it differentiates will be much more inefficient than the current intelligent body, which is like the processor of a computer, reducing the integrated parts of a processor by two orders of magnitude, then the computer will not be able to run the original software at all.

As a higher form of civilization, the Sapient Body also means that it needs to bear higher operating costs, which determines that it is difficult for the Sapient Civilization to be carried out through interstellar colonization. As far as the search and rescue team knows, such civilizations usually use teleportation to travel through the universe after the technology is sufficiently developed.

And now, they can only choose to stay, and create their civilization, fighting for survival.

Wu Xiaoqing, the search and rescue team, and Shen Changwen began to work in three shifts to come to the rescue ship on duty, paying close attention to the progress of this war.

Although there was a promise of non-interference between the intellectuals, this commitment was limited to the fighting between the two sides. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Federation seems to be invincible, but judging from the actual situation, it is obvious that the training of replicants is not achieved overnight, which can be seen from the fact that the number of replicants is only 200 million in more than half a month.

200 million, compared with the population of more than 20 billion people in the Federation, has not changed qualitatively, which shows that even virtual replicas will still be limited in their use, which limits the organization of the entire replicant community in addition to power and computing resources.

As far as the report is concerned, spontaneous cultural acts and corresponding laws have appeared within the "Wu Xiaoqingguo", and in contrast, there is no such basis in the replicant group based on the replicators of Shen Changwen and Xu Yan.

The biggest problem with Shen Changwen's clone is that there is almost no internal communication, because Shen Changwen is an elderly person, and his profession is a professor—he has always been a leader in his personality. Therefore, as long as the group of Shen Changwen's clones expands slightly, there is basically no communication inside, and everyone is too independent, so independent that they are almost autistic. In the words of the earthling, he is too old to communicate with other people, even if they are himself.

Xu Yan is the complete opposite, he relies too much on communication. Excessive communication but lack of sufficient rational cognition makes Xu Yan's clone group prone to extreme group emotions - sometimes suddenly group fanaticism, sometimes group self-abandonment.

In fact, the clone group that can be used in the end is Wu Xiaoqing, their performance is more stable, there is appropriate communication internally, and everyone can maintain the appropriate independence and judgment ability - in war, this means that they have better reliability and combat effectiveness whether they cooperate but fight alone.

Whether Wu Xiaoqing and the others will overcome their internal organizational problems first, or whether they will use their tactical advantages to expand their winning rate in terms of intelligence and physique will be the biggest game point in the battlefield war.

But for the search and rescue team and Wu Xiaoqing, they don't really care who wins and who loses this war.

Because in a way, their task has been basically completed throughout the time - no matter who wins or loses, at least they will no longer die and go to civilization A, and they will have a winner within themselves, and then inherit the entire legacy of both civilizations.

There is only one scenario in which a mission can be declared a failure - and that is when the two sides are evenly matched, and the entire 15 planets are wiped out...... Both sides fought their last breath and died together.

Wu Xiaoqing: What they are concerned about now is whether this worst-case scenario will happen - if it shows signs of happening, then stop it.
