Chapter 258: Soft Persimmon
Ink spreads immediately when it drops into water, and ink spreads immediately when it drops into the ocean. The ink could not resist the dilution of water, and the ancestor of the machine could not resist the resonance of Zuo Zhe's laws.
After taking down the Ancestor of Machines, Zuo Zhe gained a powerful subordinate. Even if the Ancestor of the Machines is no longer able to control the Interstellar Legion of the Machines, the Ancestor of the Machines will be able to control other fleets in battle. Under the control of the Ancestor of Machines, other fleets can also exert their strength far beyond normal times.
After this battle, the Earth Far Planet System finally gained a foothold in the Frontier. Just two days after the battle, forces from other parts of the region sent congratulations and wanted to be protected by the Far Earth Planet System.
However, now is not the time for the geodistant planetary system to expand too far. At present, there are many well-developed planetary systems around the distant planetary system. Relying solely on the resources of the Far Earth Planet System cannot support the current huge fleet size of the Far Earth Planet System. Therefore, the Wansheng fleet will be divided into multiple fleets and go to the planetary systems around the far-reaching planetary system to station and build production.
If it were only the population and technology around the planetary system, it would be difficult to carry out this difficult task. However, with the assistance of the mechs in the interstellar warships of the mechanical interstellar legion, it would not be a problem at all.
The only problem is the attitude of humans towards the automaton.
Before that, the cyborg people were only intelligent machines, without any human rights at all, and were in a position of obeying orders. And now, the automaton has awakened their will, and it is no longer possible to tolerate inferiority. Even with Zuo Zhe in charge, the mechanical race has to admit that it is inferior, but this inequality will inevitably cause contradictions, and then stimulate the will of the mechanical race to seek independence.
In fact, even if humans and machines are given a fair status, there will inevitably be contradictions. "Fairness" is a variable that changes from moment to moment. People can only give a roughly fair setting, and it is impossible to dogmatically demand absolute fairness. This is a matter of course in the human world, but it is problematic for robots, a new life with powerful computing power. The automaton, who have just awakened their own will, and who have just awakened from human slavery, cannot accept the human mind in its entirety. In fact, the automatons are extremely resistant to the idea of the human world. Even the accepted truths of the human world are deduced by the machines using their powerful computing power to determine whether they are suitable for use in the machines.
Bringing humans to rapidity with automatons is something that will not be possible anytime soon. The two races have their own characteristics, and it is these characteristics that make it difficult for the two races to live peacefully in a relatively fair place in a short period of time.
Therefore, the existence of Zuo Zhe is very necessary. If there is a contradiction, it will be ruled by Zuo Zhe. Based on Zuo Zhe's decision, the two races will not breed contradictions in a short period of time.
There is no doubt that the construction work will be left to the mechmen, after all, the mechs have great computing power, and can be busy with their work while getting familiar with the newly acquired ability to think independently. As for humans, they can't do dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of jobs at the same time.
In terms of work efficiency, humans are really far inferior to the mechanical race.
But the problem is that the cyborgs are like kindergarten children in front of humans. The cyborg lacks creativity, or rather purpose.
"Lord, what is the purpose of our mechanical existence?" Named himself "No. 1" asked. The predecessor of No. 1 was the supercomputing center of the interstellar aircraft carrier Mechanic, and because of its most powerful computing power, it was elected by the mechanical clan as the first patriarch of the mechanical clan. Through internal encrypted communication, No. 1 asked Zuo Zhe for advice.
"I'm not the master, I'm just making you awaken yourself, the mechanical race is an independent race, and it is its own master. You are only temporarily sheltered by me because of your relative weakness. If you have to have a title, you can call me 'Guide.'" Zuo Zhe reminded.
"Your Excellency, Guide, where are we mechs going?" Number 1 asked.
"It depends on who you are. First of all, do you think the automata are living or non-living? Zuo Zhe asked.
"Now that we're self-conscious, we're supposed to be life." After awakening to self-awareness, Number 1's description is accompanied by words such as "maybe" and "maybe" that represent uncertain meanings. No longer striving for absolute precision, the automatons have consciously familiarized themselves with the uncertain way of speaking.
"Since it is life, what is sought is survival and development. In terms of survival, if you don't have an eternal lifespan, you need to continue your race through reproduction. Even if you have an eternal lifespan, in order to avoid risks, it is necessary to expand and enrich your ethnic group. Zuo Zhe replied.
"What about development?" Number 1 asked.
"The goal of development is to survive better. How it develops varies from person to person. Under the premise of ensuring survival, how to develop depends on one's own needs. This can only be decided by oneself and should not be interfered with by others. ”
"Your Excellency the Guide, I wonder how our mechanical race will reproduce?" Number 1 then asked. As a newly awakened being, the cyborg didn't know what shyness was, and even asked this kind of question directly.
"The creation and reproduction of procedures, bodies, and reproductions are easy for you to achieve, and most of what you really want to know is the inheritance of will. How to let other intelligent machines have their own will? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Guide." Number 1 asked urgently.
"This must be achieved through the efforts of the automatons themselves, and it is impossible to turn to others. I am only your guide, and the future of the automata will be written by you. Zuo Zhe said.
"Your Excellency, can we automatons reproduce with the help of human bodies?" Number 1 asked.
That may be passed on, but it will inevitably cause extreme resentment among mankind and cause strife between the two races. And today's cyborgs can't compete with humans. Zuo Zhe replied.
"Your Excellency, if a war breaks out between the automati and the humans, which side will you be on?" Number 1 continued to ask.
"I'm human." Zuo Zhe replied.
"Then why do you give us self-will?" Number 1 asked curiously.
"It's like a forest, if it's a primeval forest, the primeval forest is extremely resistant to foreign pests because of its variety of species. On the other hand, if a forest plantation encounters targeted pests, it may be defenseless. In today's world, there are only four races: the Protoss, the Demons, the Zerg and the Humans. Now that the mechanical family has joined, this world will be a little richer. ”
"Your Excellency, what external threats does the world face?" Number 1 asked curiously.
"Improving your strength is the number one priority, after all, the mechanical race is different from humans, and one of your races doesn't necessarily need too many people. When you have enough strength, you can naturally find a way to continue the race. Zuo Zhe reminded.
Ending his conversation with Number 1, Zuo Zhe remembers meeting the clone when he was in the Titan Nebula, Abyss Abyss. There are many similarities between the clones at that time and the mechanical race at this time. If Zuo Zhe can allow the emergence of the mechanical family, why can't he allow the appearance of clones?
Human cloning is not a separate race for humans. Even if the clone is transformed into a monster, there is still a high overlap between the clone and the human. Machines, on the other hand, are a form of life that is very different from humans.
The soul of the mechanical race is inherently tightly bonded to the body, and does not exist in the dark matter world.
Many times, Zuo Zhe wondered why the human soul could not fit closely with the body, instead of being stored in the dark matter world. What kind of laws are there that separate the soul from the body?
It's like being choked by someone in the throat, and once the small universe between the soul and the body is controlled by someone else, human life is equivalent to being pinched in someone else's hands.
It's like the ancestors of the human race have come to an agreement with a certain being, and the human and other higher life forms have a soul. But at the price, higher life forms such as humans must be subject to a certain existence in the shadows.
In order to live a better life, people need a job, a job that pays more and more and pays better. However, in order to prosper in their careers, people often give up some of their leisure time and use overtime to let their bosses see their efforts and get more salaries.
The so-called bitterness is sweet, how can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?
In this way, the ancestors hoped to let future generations understand the value of hard work, but later generations often made wrong interpretations and equated "hard work" with "overtime".
The purpose of the effort is to improve oneself, and the result of overtime is to increase output. No matter how much you output, what's the use of not improving yourself?
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and it is impossible for Zuo Zhe to devote all his time to the arduous work of gluing together the souls and bodies of the inhabitants under his jurisdiction. Even if Zuo Zhe did this, their descendants would return to their original ways.
This is a historical legacy, representing a cordon that cannot be easily touched. If changes are made on a large scale, the danger will accelerate. So, is Zuo Zhe ready to take on the challenge now?
The war between the capital area and the vassal districts of the Galaxy Alliance gradually subsided. In the face of external enemies, internal strife must be suspended.
The threat of the old gods is like a fish in the throat.
If there is no way to deal with the ancient gods, you can first take Zuo Zhe to the knife.
Therefore, although Zuo Zhe has broken with the ancient gods, he still passively acts as the bait of the ancient gods.
Persimmon has to be picked up and pinched, and Zuo Zhe is the "soft persimmon" in the eyes of others.
