35.19 Intra-Federation Gamble
Comparable to the projection screen of the concert platform.
In the white isolation hall, a mechanical doll has been dismantled from the outer camouflage shell, revealing the inner white ceramic viscera protective layer, which has been fixed to the seat by the robotic hand.
After a series of wires were inserted into the limbs, the mechanical puppet was incapacitated. But at this time, he shouted in this sophisticated medical machinery hall: "Liar, the Lord will save me, and the suffering I endure will eventually become your karma." With such intense emotions, everyone had no doubt that if the control system was not locked, this mechanical puppet would jump down and smash it wildly.
This scene was being broadcast at the virtual convention of the Federation.
At the meeting, the big people sitting at the top of the ladder watched this scene with frowning and indifferent expressions.
The invective of the robot puppets does not provoke the anger of these big shots.
For these big shots, the mechanical puppet on the video is a malfunctioning machine.
In the face of mechanical failure, the consideration is nothing more than the fear of financial losses. As for "being insulted and sad", it can only be stabbed by an existence that you often communicate with (including pets, artificial intelligence), and you will be emotionally hurt.
These big shots have long been like steel. I am afraid that the only thing that can move them is that can threaten their position.
Zhou You commented on this: "The brain should still be carbon-based, but it is no different from elementalization. ”
……
The current fighting in the dark basalt regions of the Southern Continent is similar to Afghanistan in the twenty-first century to the federal ruling circles. It is a kind of area where 'it will cost a lot of money to continue to survive', and it is unwilling to quit. - "Chicken ribs".
It is related to the disposal of the remnants of titanium steel in the Haoyang plate. In addition to extermination, the Federation at least has another plan.
Outside the dark basalt mountains, a large number of blockade lines were established for more than a decade of confrontation. The Titanium Steel God will be completely trapped to death.
The current "thought virus" infection of the Titanium Steel God Society on the robot puppets is based on the fact that the Federation sent the corps to this complex terrain and cannot supervise the robot puppets at a high frequency.
In areas with developed transportation, such as the surrounding plains, the robot puppets patrol regularly with the corps. The risk of infection with the "thought virus" will be greatly reduced, and the central surveillance system will break the robot puppets back at an early stage.
Yellowstone and Divine Presence are both programs that support this long-term lockdown.
However, the political representatives of the Haoyang plate and the Luotian plate opposed this plan.
It is not difficult to guess the reason why Haoyang plate opposes the plan - a long blockade will consume a lot of financial resources.
And in the future battle of the twin stars, this place is a highly unstable factor, if it can be completely solved now, don't drag it out.
As for the reason for the opposition of the lawmakers of the Luo Tian plate, well, don't you see that the "Yellowstone plate and the divine presence" are actively stumbling?
In this war, the Haoyang plate has completely fallen to the Luotian plate, and several generals of Luotian have already stationed troops in the Haoyang plate. This garrison is to be powerful, not to help the younger brother work.
Luo Tian plate should send troops to station, and a small number of garrison points should be stationed in economic strategic positions. Instead of peacekeeping on the front lines, as internationalist fighters.
Within the Eight-Petal Flower Federation, politicians have played at least ten rounds of games.
As for the result! - Bei Xuan Ming played the card of Burning Wheel.
In the Supreme Council of 26 members of the Eight-Petal Flower Federation.
Zeyu, an emerging legislator from the periphery, submitted his own battle plan, and after a brief introduction, he withdrew. There are those old politicians who talk to Bei Shuming.
Outside the supreme decision-making session, the House of Representatives is in session.
Zhou You and Bei He Lu met.
On the suspended seat of the virtual venue, Zeyuhara was ready to say hello and congratulate him on his happy marriage. Born a noble son early.
However, Bei He Lu moved over and asked directly: "How many troops can you invest in this area?" "—not condescending, but serious. Obviously, I want to remind you that if you are not sure, you should not get involved in this trouble.
In the face of such a direct question. Zhou You was a little embarrassed, and retracted the politeness that he almost said.
"In this world, it's a luxury to be able to gain a foothold, and if the Federation acquiesces to the needs of the Burning Wheel, the Burning Wheel can invest everything. ”
Bei Helu was silent.
The right demanded by the Celestial Tour is not the right of general autonomy, but the absolute sovereignty of the Eight Classics.
What is autonomy? Most of the governance capacity is still at the feudal level of the ruling layer, and it may pay attention to the two conditions of "1. It is allowed to retain the army, and 2. It is allowed to maintain its own administrative governance system". In the twenty-first century, the average country wants to be independent, that's it.
However, there are many more things involved in absolute sovereignty than the above. For example, monetary sovereignty, and moreover, the trade protection rights of many raw materials and industries.
So far, a large number of capital forces in the federation have been very angry that the fuel wheel has been refusing to open the market and severely restricting people's freedom of consumption. However, at the moment, Ranlun wants to continue to tighten the policy, without exception, to offend the "capital forces" of the entire Fang star.
If it is a powerful capitalist government, this kind of behavior will inevitably cause the capitalist group to launch a war.
But now, the financial system in the Eight-Petal Flower Federation is close to bankruptcy, and there is no strongman in the capital system, and no one can live the big hole of the free economy of the Federation at the moment! Inside this big pit is the greed that has been raised for hundreds of years. Bei Shuming was by no means a pure capitalist, and his economic policies were fought for his own power.
Half an hour later.
The Supreme Council of the Federation ended, and the results were announced.
The security forces of the Burning Wheel must enter the dark basalt area by July and bring the situation under control by the end of the year. In wartime, the Federation will authorize the Ranlun to handle all affairs in the region - this is the "deposit" given by the Northern Raider to "claim sovereignty" to the Celestial Tour. As long as the outcome of the war meets the requirements of the North Raider, he will call the shots and get the Federation to recognize the status of the Burning Wheel in the region.
Fang Xing, like many planets in the Hui Crab Star Cluster.
The monopoly has been long enough, technology has stopped long enough, and the solidified upper echelons are no longer satisfied with the power under the capital system, and now it is the eve of something like "Caesar's imminent centralization". The inner collapse begins, and the secondary periphery has been loosened and changed to control.
……
Sun Siqiong's corps was in charge, the No. 7 blockade line.
In the information management area of the base, a large number of non-commissioned officers from the burning ship are looking at the official announcements from the top of the Federation. Privately, there are all sorts of discussions.
Everyone has complex mental activities, but in free discussion, they are all simply expressed. As for the true intentions, they are usually hidden in the heart.
For example, nowadays, a lot of people talk about the Federation's auto-puppet infection, and the discussion is all about "worried". But in reality, there is at least a triple mentality:
First, "schadenfreude over the robot puppet". All along, the bottom of the Federation has been obsessed with their own happiness and ignorance, while Ranlun strictly demands discipline from everyone, and their own 'unfreedom' is often ridiculed by those people. Now, however, the non-commissioned officer of the burning wheel feels that "I am alive". - This must not be expressed, because it would be too evil to express it.
Second, "scoff at the helplessness of the Federation." As a person born under the wrench screwdriver, there are always some differences between the thinking and the federation, watching the sluggish operation of the federal politicians, scratching their ears and cheeks: "If Lao Tzu is in their position, he will definitely xxx". Of course, the above views will not be openly expressed, after all, these non-commissioned officers are still under the dispatch and management of the federal military department.
Third, "I feel a bit stupid to cooperate with Ranlun now." In the eyes of these soldiers on the front line closest to each other, they felt that their intelligence should be more accurate than the top of the Burning Wheel. Now the situation on the front line of the Federation is very bad, and batch after batch of "fooled" mechanical puppets have fallen into reset. Burning Wheel can now ask for a little more! It's not just about this "dark basalt control zone".
……
Most people's thinking is foundational thinking. However, there are some elites in the burning wheel who have been thinking according to the basic thinking of their own people, making detailed inferences, and conducting forward-looking testing.
Lu Bi is one of them.
In the river behind the defense area, a 10,000-ton warship was gliding around the defense area. This amphibious warship, with its electromagnetic barrel kept raised at all times, provides fire support for the corps in the dark basalt area.
In the meeting room inside the battleship, Sun Siqiong, who was dressed in office information clothes, read Lu Yan's report without saying a word, 'I want to lead the team to continue to stay on the front line in the basalt area'. He looked up at Lu Ru and said slowly: "You know, there's a meat grinder there!" ”
At this time, Lu seemed to suddenly remember a lesson that Lu Boya once said to himself: "Strategically, you can't be frightened by casualties, but tactically, you must pay attention to reducing all unnecessary losses." And right now, the new general of the Federation in front of him is acting in the opposite direction. Therefore, I can't help but be completely disappointed.
Lu Ru said silently in his heart: "Could it be that we were really too young before?" ”
Lu seems to be also not going to explain his psychological activities to Sun Siqiong like this.
Rather, it is very "straightforward", explaining the importance of the fight against titanium steel to the Federation. In the end, Sun Siqiong was persuaded to let go.
In this era, currents of thought are colliding. All written records and communication records are just waves. These "waves" jump beautifully, but the changes in the perception of the public in the world are the real turbulent currents.
……
Haoyang plate, burning wheel, detention center for heavy war criminals.
Lu Boya passed through several access controls and entered the office accompanied by the supervisors.
Lu Boya has a monitoring collar around his neck. However, at present, the group of people who share collar information can only be inquired by the top leadership team. And, of course, the organization of this detention center for felons.
Lu Boya came here to see someone.
When Lu Boya sat under the protection of the energy field, the sound of shackles dragging sounded from behind the gate. As the electric gate was raised, a woman with a "hideous" appearance walked in.
……
Two months ago, Sun Siqiong's corps successfully repelled the enemy forces of Titanium Steel on the west side of the brine beach, completely expelling the last stronghold of Titanium Steel in the middle of the Haoyang Plate.
In this war, due to the airborne troops deployed by the burning wheel, they landed very quickly, so the Titanium Steel God Society was captured before destroying many secret places.
Then in the "Priestess Camp", he found the Rose Blade lying in the nerve docking induction cabin, almost collapsing in the virtual world.
By the time she found Rose Blade, she was almost as bad as she was,—— and here it was both physical and mental.
[The Titanium Steel God Club has lost hope of victory in the continuous blows. And when hope is lost, some of the original moral principles collapse, so they will do very dark things to some of the weak. 】
Among the titanium steel mechanical dolls, there has always been a story that 'if you participate in the holy war, you can enjoy the holy virgin'.
The woman in the high-definition virtual world is not artificial intelligence, how can artificial intelligence do such a complex reaction.
The "Sacrificial Maiden's Battalion" is an institution set up purely to curb the side effects of "the defective human personality that has become a weapon of war". The price is for another group of people to suffer "the venting of those defective personalities".
Just like in the 21st century, ordinary people can do all kinds of weird things in the world of video games (in the Grand Theft Auto game, players trying to get a five-star wanted list).
And in war, these mechanical puppet soldiers do things that are unimaginable.
At this time, half of the cheeks of the rose blade have been covered by the inductive skin, and the chest is completely mechanical, which is not what she wants to transform.
Because in the virtual world, those brute creatures cut off the twin peaks of Rose Blade with red-hot knives again and again, and ate in front of Rose Blade, taking pleasure in watching her screams and terrifying reactions.
This kind of strong stimulation is directly connected to the body's nerves through sensors,—— as for why not connect to the brain, pain is a kind of nerve electrical signal, directly connected to the brain, and the brain will be broken; And connect the ends of the skin, the end of the nerve necrosis, then find a good part.
Rose Blade is repeatedly tortured in various virtual places. As a result, the skin of the whole body is necrotic inch by inch, and the connection system of the sterile cabin is constantly looking for good nerve connections under the skin, which is comparable to Ling Chi!
……
Regarding the situation that Rose Blade encountered, Lu Boya was silent.
In Lu Boya's eyes, Rose Blade, she should! But the Titanium Steel God Society is too inhuman. Such an ugly use of technology is an insult to the creators of technology.
So, Lu Boya decided to give the Titanium Steel Association a hard shot! And this knife is the Rose Blade.
When he first came to the prison, the contained Rose Blade had basically been abandoned by the medical room, and his thinking was completely foolish. And Lu Boya came, as a person that Rose Blade knew and was hard to forget, Lu Boya stimulated it back with a word, of course, what supported Rose Blade's return is now hatred.
She will live for revenge.
Lu Boya took the rose blade away, but the personnel management department of Ranlun did not arrange him to the position suggested by Lu Boya as soon as possible.
The Burning Wheel Organization has corresponding policies for those who are willing to make meritorious contributions. The implementation of these policies is not subject to change. Including Lu Boya.
……
First, Rose Blade was brought into the sterile medical room, and the artificial structures on its shell were dismantled, especially the socket that had been removed from the eye, leaving a dark hole.
Then the re-equipping began, and the originally empty eye sockets were also reimplanted into the eyes, and the original hair thinning, such as the scalp burned by flames, could be implanted with hair, as well as biological skin, and other sensory organs.
The above is the mechanical puppet restoration technology, that is, the organic organ is re-implanted into the mechanical puppet, so that the mechanical puppet can restore the perception of the original carbon-based life.
Please note - this is the highest level of technical difficulty, the highest level of mechanical figure technology.
But the most difficult factor in the development of this technology is that there is no market!
Although there are a large number of mechanical puppets in this world who need to regain their senses and want to return to normal life, but - can they corrupt their bodies like this and degenerate wantonly, and still create value and pay for the mechanical puppet technology?
It's like the 21st century – medical institutions are targeting various groups of people for medical technology research and development. However, there is no industrial development for the rehabilitation of addicts. Because this is a group of incorrigible people.
However, the tour still vigorously expends resources to develop mechanical puppet repair technology. This is because—
Outside the medical cabin, Lu Boya looked at the rose blade that was gradually regaining his human form, and answered this question with a helpless smile: "People who come from the Xingchen civilization always naively think that anyone can get better, and they are unwilling to completely give up any hope. ”
