Yes, there is no alternative.

The scene in front of him, combined with the information sent by Wu Qing, probably confirmed Yevgeny's speculation.

Wu Qing and Shen Wen have both noticed that in the game Solar System Storm, if the player chooses the side of the intelligent body, the overall strategy is simple and clear.

As long as you keep making spaceships, and when you save up a sufficient number, you can press them up and fight them, and rely on the downed planets to achieve the next round of circulation.

For the Federation, it is much more complicated.

According to the definition of earthlings, the Federation is first and foremost a parliamentary state, and the declaration of war by the state requires the consent of the parliament, and in order for the parliament to agree to declare war on the AI, it is first necessary to convince the council that the AI are a threat to humanity, and then to make everyone willing to pay the price to resist.

Neither of these two points is easy to do.

Let's start with the first point, we need to convince some people that AI has threatening capabilities.

This sounds a bit ridiculous, there have been several battles between the AI and the Federation, but there seems to be a considerable number of people within the Federation who believe that the current war situation is a product of the government's deliberate leadership.

This has a lot to do with the game Solar System Storm.

In the solar system, many players have found a tricky strategy when playing the civilization of the Federation. In the setting of the game, if the archon wants to get the right to declare war, he must first make ordinary people aware of the horror of AI and the crisis of civilization is imminent.

However, according to the idea of AI, the sooner you start a war before you use all the mass of a planet, the more disadvantageous it will be.

For thousands of years before the AI rebellion, AI technology has been the skeleton of the entire civilization, and it can be said that almost the current situation of the entire federal civilization has been developed based on AI technology.

Whether it is planetary colonization or game development, a large number of AI technologies have been applied to it, and it is said that what Yevgeny sees now, this kind of cell-based bionics industrial system, at a glance, is developed on the basis of AI technology - with the visual system of the Federation, or even with the visual system of any carbon-based creature produced by natural evolution, it is impossible to adapt to this all-round three-dimensional visual processing.

Even though AI now occupies two of the 15 planets in the solar system, in the public opinion of the entire Federation, AI is still regarded as a sub-civilization cultivated by the Federation, and its status is a bit like a pet or even a family member - when AI technology was not banned, a considerable part of AI already had this emotional substitution function.

The Federation is like an ordinary hunter in a primitive society, and the AI can be seen as a tiger that has not yet grown up. Juvenile tigers are certainly no match for humans, and not only are they not opponents, but they may look quite cute. But reasonable people know that when this tiger has fully grown up, if it is "fair" hand-to-hand, people are not opponents of the other party in any way.

It's almost a paradox - when the tiger is young, the Federalists can't do it, or they are reluctant to fight, but when the tiger grows up, the Federalists can't beat it.

In the Solar System, players come up with an easy way to break this paradox - deliberately fail.

When the AI is not capable, take the initiative to declare war on the AI, but secretly deliberately create a failure - and then everyone can see that the AI is indeed dangerous!

It's like someone who takes the initiative to make the little tiger unhappy, and then asks him to scratch a few marks on himself, or simply bite out some blood, so that the reason to kill the tiger becomes quite sufficient.

Solar System Storm is a game that came out very early, before humans officially declared war with AI. But the irony is that what humanity ends up showing on the battlefield – happens to fit well with this deliberate defeat tactic that many players play.

The government is thus met with suspicion by a considerable number of people, who are still concluding that all the current failures of the Union are man-made, and that the worse the defeat of the government, the more they feel that the government is acting fake.

In the game, the failures made by the players are often some of the failures that hold each other and then are slightly weak, but in reality, several decisive battles are all huge defeats for the government.

For example, when the government army crashed into a speed bump and failed, it felt like a person deliberately drove without applying the brakes and then crashed headlong......

Players in the game can make all Federation citizens feel a real sense of crisis through the deliberate defeat in the early stage, which can ensure that they can get a lot of nominal support in the early stage, and get more resources in the military - the probability of victory is greater.

Many of the Federalists now suspect that perhaps the purpose of the consuls is to paralyze them.

The second point is even more difficult.

For a civilization to support war, this means that a large number of resources on the entire planet must move in the direction of war, what are the resources? It's a lot of quality that could have been used to make game memory, a lot of energy that can be used to run game servers, and even the freedom to play games.

The first two are fine, especially the third one......

In such an unprecedented "prosperous world", where countless virtual game worlds alone cannot be experienced, who would want to be conscripted as soldiers by a decree from the government, and then their fate is no longer under their control - they will be arranged to live in attack ships and constantly carry out orders from the army. It would be fine if all went well – but if it was as incompetent the government is now showing in the war...... Then joining the army is almost a dead end.

In such a military confrontation, they can't even find and face a real enemy, the same enemy, the same attack ship, they are living people, and the other party is just an infinite copy of the mind and body, a piece of procedure.

According to the statistics of the federal military medical institutions, enlisted soldiers will have severe psychological anxiety and fear of death after three months of general service, which will fade slightly after half a year, but will be psychologically numb and indifferent because of the environment of the attack ship itself, and will suffer from autism after serving for more than one year, and after returning from the two-year service period, it often takes more than half a year to adapt before returning to normal life.

All of this is based on the premise of normal service – that is, no involvement in the war.

For soldiers who have participated in war, almost every group of soldiers who return from the battlefield will have a serious paranoia of victimization - the main symptom of the patient is to constantly check the various data and structures of the ship to make sure that it is completely normal, there is no problem, and at the same time it is not locked by any enemies.

Then there's the prolonged insomnia – many people dream of being killed in their dreams – and in warfare, AI has taken advantage of the fact that humans have to sleep to engage in prolonged fatigue attacks, which is already a regular tactic.

This fear of war has become more terrible in the impression of ordinary people as the retired soldiers have exaggerated, and war-weariness and war-phobia have continued to spread throughout the Federation, and there have even been many examples of soldiers who would rather deliberately commit crimes to avoid conscription.

The federal government has also previously attempted to push for a bill to amend the law to make many of the prison sentences and deportation sentences in the law mandatory.

This attempt, of course, failed quickly.

……

After receiving the news from Yevgeny, the search and rescue team immediately told Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen the news.

After reading all the news, Wu Xiaoqing's first reaction was surprise: "They weren't caught?" ”

"It's too early to make that judgment," the search and rescue team pointed out Yevgeny's opinion, "and we can only judge now that your clones do exist." ”

Shen Changwen looked at the part of the telegram that belonged to "himself", and couldn't help but nod and said, "Don't say it, it really looks like my handwriting." ”

Wu Xiaoqing didn't have much of this feeling, and Wu Xiaoqing's words in the message seemed a little too bright and too righteous to him: "Is it a little fake?" If we were really caught, we should be the first to think of saving our lives. Are they even starting to care about the mission? I don't think so. ”

Shen Changwen glanced at Wu Xiaoqing: "We haven't really experienced this, and no one can say that we can't perform well in this environment...... However, I am more inclined to agree with Yevgeny and others, and I believe that their message should be sincere. ”

Then there's only the second question: "Do you think they know they might be being monitored?" Or do they realize that all the actions they do may have been induced? ”

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head very directly: "If it's Shen Changwen and Xu Yan...... Possibly, because they haven't seen the virtual world. But I ...... I don't think I'm going to be unaware of my current situation. ”

Wu Xiaoqing has dealt with A civilization, and since that time, Wu Xiaoqing has had some kind of defense line psychologically.

He still remembers some of his experiences on Second Earth, and while he was there, he was able to distinguish between what was virtual and what was real.

Theoretically, one's own copy should have the same judgment as oneself.

From this point alone, Wu Xiaoqing feels that this information is still credible.

"I'm inclined to your analysis," the search and rescue team added, "and there's another piece of evidence that can indirectly prove the credibility of what they say." ”

"What?"

"Intellectual."

Shen Changwen and Wu Xiaoqing immediately understood what the search and rescue team meant—yes, as soon as their information arrived, Zhiti took Yevgeny to see the preparations for the war. Why is that?

Is it just a coincidence in time?

To say that it is a coincidence, this is also a little too strange.

Apparently, it is the Intellectuals who also believe that so far, the Federation has not gotten their replicas. In other words, the entire fleet of the Federation is still the same as before, a spaceship controlled by real Federation people.

In the face of such a federal army, the Mind Body obviously still has a considerable chance of winning.

"He now tells us that there is a good chance that there is another purpose," the search and rescue team added, "and that our consciousness replication is still in the hands of the Federation, and to a large extent, they are enemies of the Federation, which is equivalent to us being enemies of the Federation." At least for now, he believes that we will not rush into action, at least not to help the Federation deal with him. ”

Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen glanced at each other, and Wu Xiaoqing sighed: "He is shrewd enough." ”

Shen Changwen also said: "It is indeed difficult for us to make this determination to intervene now...... If we help the Federation, we will touch the cold ass of the Federation with our hot face......"

Wu Xiaoqing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's not a matter of attitude, the key is that Zhixian is putting on such an attitude, in fact, he is already hinting to us - they don't mind cooperating with us in some aspects." ”

Shen Changwen immediately understood: "You mean...... By showing Yevgeny the army, he was suggesting that he could help us recapture our clones? ”

"It doesn't have to be recaptured...... It's okay to destroy," Wu Xiaoqing said, "but, as long as we do this, it will be equivalent to becoming a de facto ally with Zhiti." ”

The search and rescue team immediately agreed with Wu Xiaoqing's analysis.

"This SB Federation," Shen Changwen felt a little unable to control his emotions when he saw the message sent by the other self on the computer, "We originally came here to persuade us, but now we have to force us to beat him...... What a beating! ”
