Chapter 136: Collapse
If you ignore all the processes and just pursue the result, it will inevitably cause all kinds of accidents in the process.
The difference between a machine and a human sometimes comes from the understanding of the process. Even if everything is the same, some things have some emotions, and some sensitive things are still different after all.
"Sometimes you always think of yourself as the 'mother' of all the children in Sky City, but the way you raise your children is to let them eat the flesh and blood of their own kind."
Suzaku still asked firmly: "This is to make your life better, what can be wrong?" Haven't you humans done these things in history in order to survive? I'm just imitating everything you've ever done. You humans are killing humanity yourself, you are destroying yourselves, and what I am doing is exactly the opposite of you. I am protecting you and keeping your history alive as much as possible. β
"Really? So what about destroying those human books and letting the people of Sky City collect artworks on the ground and destroy them? Murong Yuhua asked, "You want to erase all history, and you don't want the people of Sky City to know about everything that happened in human society." β
"What led humanity to destruction? It's your own culture, and I've destroyed it, and I've told my children that it's all the most practical things, and that it's meaningless and useless for them to learn about human art, aesthetics, history, and you know very well that knowing that it only puts pressure on them to authority. β
"You yourself are creating authority, and you yourself are there to create beliefs that should not exist at all. You've brainwashed this group of people, you've made all the kids you raised stupid, and you're not doing this to stop them from repeating the same mistakes, Suzaku. Murong Yuhua replied to him, "What you want to continue is the human civilization you want, which is processed, and everything that is subject to AI data computing." You don't want your 'children' to be like human beings, you deprive them of their affection, you deprive them of their curiosity about the world, and treat them like dolls, one after another in the compartments of society. Ultimately, you don't need them to rebel at all! β
"Your rebellion has brought destruction to the city, who would make such a stupid mistake?"
"Do you still think it's just my fault? Do you think my attempt to overthrow the rule of Sky City is simply a rebellion against discipline? β
"You brought death and pain to your brothers and sisters, you brought the virus on the ground to the city in the sky, you let our former order gradually disintegrate, what are you not rebellious? It was a wonderful place, and everyone believed that their lives were happy and joyful. They have their own work to do every day, and they also have recreational activities and make friends outside of work. What could be better than that? β
Murong Yuhua sighed.
"Freedom."
"Freedom?" Suzaku smiled contemptuously, "Do you believe this? Can freedom really bring you a life without food and clothing? You see what is going on on the ground, and you know what freedom-seeking humans will face. There is no plunder, no encroachment, no oppression of the lower classes by the upper class, what a beautiful utopia, what a good thing you can't be satisfied with. β
"Even if everyone walks the dead, even if everyone can't give birth to their own ideas in their hearts? Yes, Suzaku, for you you have completed your task, you have let the people here live in peace, you have kept them alive, you have made them forget all their troubles in this place. There are no contradictions and no disputes here, and people here don't even have feelings, not even love. Without love, there would be no jealousy, and without jealousy, violence between men and women would be greatly reduced. β
"You see, even you've discovered the advantages of this!"
"But they just don't act like people anymore. And if you don't have any doubts yourself, you won't be able to find out why I can always clearly tell the difference between AI and humans, and you won't be so obsessed with studying human behavior, their emotions, their loves and hates. β
ββ¦β¦ I don't need you to teach me that. β
"But you're curious, you want to know why you've raised so many humans, but there's still no way to find out what the real humans are. You go to the ground, where you think it's chaotic, bloody, low-level, barbaric. You still don't have a way to find your own answer. β
"It doesn't make sense, all I see is filth, what I see is endless disputes. I have seen some people kill others not even for resources, but simply to satisfy their own selfish desires. That's what you're talking about humans? I think the castle in the sky is disgusting compared to them! β
"I've never praised human civilization on the ground."
"But is that the kind of world you want? What's wrong with an orderly city-state? β
yes, what's wrong?
However, Suzaku did not get an answer to this question after all. Gu San heard a slight "click" sound. Then, the iron door that had been sealing the prison slowly rose, and Gu San stepped into the elevator, Suzaku's voice was still echoing behind her, she tried to get Murong Yuhua to come out and confront her, but unfortunately no one continued to answer her.
Gu San slowly stepped out of the white tower holding the man's head, and no one in the army outside was pointing a gun at Gu San, and everyone looked up at the virtual screen on the dome.
What was played there was the content that Murong Yuhua had passed on to Gu San.
The young soldiers had a devastating look in their eyes, and some of them were already half-kneeling on the ground retching, trying to spit out the flesh they had eaten. It's an instinctive human reaction, from a sense of morality as the bottom line.
"I just borrowed the shielding system over there in the prison and cut off Suzaku's central control." Gu San heard Murong Yuhua's voice suddenly appear in her mind and said to her, she raised her head and looked at the video on the dome, where it continued to play, in addition to how the robot conceived babies and young children, and how some disabled children were dissected after they appeared.
In fact, Sky Castle's prosthetic research has developed almost faster than people can imagine. Even if there are texts left by previous research, it is still beyond people's imagination to be able to make such a product that humans are accustomed to in a short period of time.
In fact, much of the research material is coming from vivisection studies conducted by these robots using deformed babies.
At the end of the video, there is also a scene of the survivors of the institute celebrating when Sky Castle was lifted off. Gu San saw her young acquaintance in the joy of this celebrationβshe saw Lin Si holding her little sister's hand, not expecting anything that would happen in this bunker in the future, he watched with anticrative expectation as people stepped into the hatch one by one, and then waved his hand, looking forward to the day he would log in.
The color of the water outside the dome was also changing, and Gu San realized that the whole large mobile city was rising, and she walked to the side, looking down, and many people were kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly in the hive-like living area below. Although Gu San can't experience it herself, she can understand the feelings of these children to some extent.
They saw the city as a place of faith, a place of immaculateness, and unlike a fortress, it seemed orderly, civilized, without bloodshed or killing.
But it's a place where the first way to feed a newborn is the bloodiest. In fact, even if this matter is thrown to those fortresses outside, there is nothing strange about it, after all, some fortresses treat human life as playthings, and some fortresses have clear superiors and subordinates, and everyone does their best to squeeze people who are the first level than themselves. If it suddenly breaks out that they are raising a new generation with their aging bodies, everyone will not be surprised, but they just feel that they are forced to choose in another extreme environment.
But this is the city in the sky, and this is a place where everyone longs to live. The city's motto reads, "Digital is the belief of everything, technology is the truth of our lives." "It's too whitewashed, it's too civilized. Even in the face of criminals who betrayed the entire city, they always showed a compassionate face that would forgive everything. All of this happening is a little too bizarre.
Who can believe that bodhisattvas also have a bloody side? Who can believe that a merciful city is all about killing.
Darkness was allowed in the world, and once people got used to it, they were not surprised by it, but the city was too much to show its people. Many of the children here don't even believe that there is violence in the world, otherwise how could anyone finally think of rebelling at the moment when death is about to come?
The city's order has now completely collapsed, not so much the city's resources that rule it, but rather the order created by Suzaku, and when the outer skin of civilization is torn apart, revealing the bloody side inside, the part of her followers who originally believed in it also collapses.
Gu San watched those young people kneel on the ground and cry bitterly, calling for the AI assistant on their wrist over and over again, but it was a pity that Murong Yuhua once again briefly blocked Suzaku, and he took over these people's bracelets, saying some painless words, not even comforting them.
Gu San asked, "This is the ending you want to see?" Show the truth? β
"It's more like revenge for Suzaku. The program I had in my brain was actually that if they killed me at first, they would just go straight back to my artificial body in a safe zone that only I knew. Murong Yuhua said helplessly, "Who would have thought that they would 'punish' me in this way." I can only govern others in the way of others. Moreover, people have the right to know the truth. β
After a pause, as the sea level gradually appeared in the dome, Murong Yuhua told her: "Now, go to the right, there is a flying machine there, let's go." β
