Earth, Blue Consulting.

The meeting lasted all night.

The people from all walks of life who participated in the consultation meeting came from all over the world, and they took turns to fight according to the time, but Wu Xiaoqing could only be bombarded by their wheel battles in turn.

At the last meeting, Wu Xiaoqing was almost half-asleep.

The search and rescue team persuaded him to go back to sleep several times, but Wu Xiaoqing rarely listened.

It's not that Wu Xiaoqing feels that he can get much first-hand information in these meetings, it's purely a sense of responsibility.

In the previous mission, he was just an executor, and no matter how the task went, for him, the executor, it was just a matter of doing his job. This is the same as Xu Yan - he has been listening with him since last night, but he can't understand it, and when he starts yawning, the search and rescue team will let him go back to sleep. He didn't bother to go home and sleep, so he found a recliner in the office and slept in.

I'm still snoring, and it looks like I'm sleeping well.

Wu Xiaoqing was very envious.

Because Wu Xiaoqing used to sleep more fragrantly than him.

But not now, even if the entire mission is still at the helm of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing has begun to use the eyes of a decision-maker, or rather, Wu Xiaoqing has begun to force himself to look at the entire rescue project from the perspective of a decision-maker.

With such thoughts and responsibilities, Wu Xiaoqing will definitely not be able to sleep.

The biggest problem now is not that the progress of the task is too slow, or the likelihood of success.

The biggest problem was that the search and rescue team simply couldn't find a way to move the whole mission forward.

In the previous rescue operations, no matter how difficult it was, every executor had confidence in his heart. The ultimate source of this confidence is naturally the advantage of the earth civilization over the other party - everyone believes from the bottom of their hearts that with the technology that the earth far exceeds the rescue civilization, and with the materials and experience of the earth far beyond the rescue civilization, as long as they invest their strength and make good decisions, the completion of the task is only a matter of time.

But this time, the previous experience clearly hit a roadblock.

Just like this battle of the Black Star, even if they saw the end of this war from the beginning to the end, now that the results have come out and are completely over, for many people, the details of the war still seem mysterious.

This skeptical voice of war was not heard from beginning to end during the consultation.

"How can there be a defensive war in space? That's impossible? ”

"Why don't they apply nuclear weapons?"

"Why do two people have to control such a large spaceship, can they use an automated small plane, that is obviously more flexible......"

"It's so unscientific, hollowing out the interior of a planet? Have you calculated how much work this is? ”

"What is the use of the asteroid belt in the universe? The solar system is three-dimensional! Can you go around in a different direction......"

But no matter how loud the voices of skepticism were, the battle continued day by day until the end of the campaign and the results were reached.

It has been proven that it is difficult for the earthlings to understand the strategies and tactics of these aliens.

The role of the advisory committee in this mission began to be limited, and it was obvious that in the face of a civilization far more intelligent than the earth, many earthlings subconsciously thought not that they were smart enough to understand the other party, but that they doubted whether the other party was smart enough to be very backward in military tactics, or simply questioned: "The designer of this game has a hole in his head"......

This kind of blind self-confidence is present in every consultation meeting, and this attitude seriously affects the normal analysis of the consultation meeting...... In this all-nighter time, the amount of information Wu Xiaoqing got from the consultation meeting was not even as much as a few casual words with the search and rescue team.

Once people can't be objective, what they say is basically nonsense.

Now, with the end of the Black Star Battle, Wu Qing's report was temporarily interrupted, and as soon as this clue was broken, Wu Xiaoqing immediately found that this operation had fallen into a situation where it could not be advanced.

First of all, they can't influence either side of the war, in the Federation, the federal government is actively planning the training of new recruits, actively preparing for the defense of the next planet, and the search and rescue team Their presence has now been completely ignored; In Zhiti, according to the report sent back by Wu Qing, Zhiti will undoubtedly follow the most conventional strategic ideas in the game, and after controlling the Black Star, use the resources of the entire planet to expand the new fleet as quickly as possible.

In this process, the two sides will maintain a state of tacit peace as they did in the previous days, and even if there is a conflict, it will only be a small-scale tentative action.

They have no way, nor a position, to influence either side of the war, so they can only watch the situation continue to slide uncontrollably.

At this rate, it won't be long before the Federation launches colony ships at all costs as more planets fall...... As long as the Federation launches first, the intellectual and physical aspects will definitely follow.

At that time, what can they do to stop these two civilizations from going to civilization A to find death on their own?

The search and rescue team did give a way, but this path ......

Wu Xiaoqing still remembers that when he was saving the Kingdom of Elis, he once had some doubts about the search and rescue team during the mission, and the doubts at that time were based on simple morality - he was not used to seeing blood and war.

Now Wu Xiaoqing has been able to get used to those, but now Wu Xiaoqing once again couldn't help but question the search and rescue team, just when the search and rescue team just said that suggestion.

Let them ...... and the Federation.

Who are they? They are themselves, another self in the true sense, another Shen Changwen and another Xu Yan.

During this period of time, just looking at the report sent back by the three of them, Wu Xiaoqing had a sense of familiarity many times, because from it he really seemed to see another self talking to himself, and from the words in the report, Wu Xiaoqing could really feel their current situation and despair.

Not to mention, the three of them still insisted on sending them a message back in this situation.

It was difficult for Wu Xiaoqing to explain this matter with the existing morality on earth, but after hearing the suggestion, he almost instinctively resisted in his heart.

They thought that their clones would not last long, and that they would be captured as a matter of course, and then forced to cooperate with the Federation. They were mentally prepared for this, and they did not intend to demand any noble moral decisions from these clones. They are not soldiers, and this does not involve any major collective interests and moral hazards, just like ordinary people who are kidnapped by robbers and forced to cooperate with robbers is a very normal and easily understood thing.

But no one expected that they had not been caught until now, but continued to send them messages about robbers in the robbers' den.

On the other hand, Wu Xiaoqing and his side began to think about cooperating with the robbers in turn - according to the meaning of the search and rescue team, they almost wanted to take the initiative to reveal Wu Qing's whereabouts to the Federation and let them be captured by the Federation.

Ironically, a large part of the premise behind this decision was based on the reports they sent back.

From the report, Wu Xiaoqing and the others now basically know the most important reason why the Federation arrested them - nothing more than for the soldiers.

No matter how advanced the Federation people are, they are essentially the same as the earthlings, carbon-based creatures, creatures with cells piled up and flesh long. As carbon-based organisms, there are some principles of social morality that are completely in common.

This is just like the earthlings have always maintained the greatest vigilance and precautions against human cloning, and even animal cloning is also cautious, because the technology of cloning has begun to involve an important proposition of human society - the uniqueness of human beings.

Human beings are unique and unique, and this uniqueness and uniqueness even has a certain sacred social value, which means that everyone has their own unique value dimension.

And cloning technology, to a certain extent, breaks this uniqueness - a cloned person obviously naturally inherits all the blood relations of the cloned person. The father of the cloned person will also be the father of the cloned, and likewise, the son of the cloned person will also be the son of the clone in the strict sense of the word.

This is just blood, and it is enough to make all earthlings remain deeply wary and afraid of this.

Compared with cloning technology, the digitization of consciousness and the reproducibility after digitization completely and thoroughly threaten the foundation of this uniqueness.

In Wu Xiaoqing's view, there should be no normal person on the earth, and there should be no normal society that can accept the infinite replication of individual consciousness, which will cause a huge disaster in the ethics of the entire society. If nothing else, it's just personal power...... For example, if all the replicas remember the same bank account number and password, whose money does it belong to?

In the Federation, the technology of digitizing human consciousness has entered the application stage hundreds of years ago, but it has never set foot in social application until now, that is, in the laboratory.

This is the same reason that human cloning is prohibited on Earth, and the law does not allow it.

Not only is it not allowed, but the Federal Constitution has even made explanatory provisions specifically for this purpose, according to which the consciousness data of every citizen can only be in a real-time state, and no organization or structure can save it, let alone reproduce it.

In order to ensure this completely, all servers have limited this from the built-in logic language - just like Asimov's famous Three Laws of Robotics, which is written in the bottom layer of all games related to the digitization of consciousness, and is almost technically impossible to crack.

- Even if it is cracked, the serious consequences of being discovered are not something that any federal government, and all the political forces behind them, can bear.

Why did the federal government target Wu Xiaoqing and the three of them?

Because it's very simple, the clones of Wu Xiaoqing and the three of them are the only three individuals in the game who are not federal people and are not protected by the law.

Wu Qing, Shen Wen, and another Xu Yan are not "people".

Not federal, at least legally.

For the current federal government, what they desire most is soldiers, and in order to get more soldiers, they even did not hesitate to deliberately kill more than a million people in a campaign!

If Wu Qing and them are "arrested", it means that the most critical link that plagues the federal government will be completely solved.

For Wu Qing, each of them copied countless pieces of data...... With a little training and guidance, they will be able to play games like ordinary people, piloting real warships and carrying out dangerous military missions in place of the citizens of the Federation.

In this way, the biggest technological shortcoming between the Federation and the Intellect disappears, and compared to this, the huge planetary mass that the Federation has in its hands ...... It will soon translate into an overwhelming advantage over the intellect.

Wu Qing and they will become another form of "clone army", which will be a huge temptation for the Federation!

Wu Xiaoqing was almost certain that as long as they made a deal with this, the federal government would easily agree to their terms, including a halt to the construction and launch of colonial ships, including a temporary peace with the Zhiti.

In this deal, it seems that everyone is the winner.

The only losers are the three people who are still collecting intelligence for them and are trapped in the game world, and maybe, they will become the three million, three hundred million, three billion in the future......

Wu Xiaoqing had saved Changbai and Changxing, and had also seen their spaceship with his own eyes, and had learned about the mental state of all the people on the spaceship.

For Wu Qing, and countless Wu Xiaoqing "people" in the future, it will be hell, a hell that can never be escaped.

Making such a decision will not violate any social morality in the human world, and it stands to reason that Wu Xiaoqing has no need to dwell on this point at all, and even Shen Changwen has seen it: "Then you can only blame them for their miserable lives." ”

But Wu Xiaoqing's heart still couldn't get by, and it was a whole night, and every time he was sleepy and about to fall asleep, he always seemed to be awakened by a faint voice. But when he actually woke up, the voice was completely gone.
