Chapter II Voting by Show of Hands
The news of the return of the three living beings to the earth has spread among the mechanical human society, and the matter is in an uproar, and after discussion at the top level, it was decided to hold a meeting, and the public opinion will decide the fate of the three people.
In the eagle shoulder conference hall, the decoration is solemn, the silver hall is bustling, but there are hundreds of millions of people watching the live broadcast of this meeting in the network channel outside the hall, in front of the round table, seven leaders are sitting around, and on the long table behind are Captain Sun, Townsend, the three organisms that returned to the earth, human beings, and the senior leaders of other departments.
Dao Yun slowly stood up, glanced at the three of them, and slowly said: "The theme of this meeting, on the issue of the departure and stay of living organisms and humans, because there are no legal provisions related to the content of this part in the new era of mechanical bodies, and the number of individuals is small, so we will vote in the form of a public meeting this time, this vote is open and fair, and will take Yan Xu's self-statement as a reference, and finally come up with a solution, and the mechanical human beings will discuss the issue of three links, first, whether to allow them to stay on the earth, and second, whether it is permissible to stay in the mechanical society, and third, how to stay. So, Yan Xu, start your statement. ”
On the Internet, hundreds of millions of people looked at this man with a perfect human body, the man bowed deeply, slowly picked up the microphone, and said: "Hello everyone... Fellow citizens, I don't know if it's appropriate to call you so, I, Yan Xu, is one year old Chinese New Year's Eve today, my wife, Xiang Wan, is twenty-seven years old this year, our child, Yan Duwan, seven years old this year, we are the descendants of the members of the Mars exploration program, we are not the aborigines of the earth, and we are not even the descendants of the members of the Mars exploration program, because we have never really lived on the surface of Mars, and after a long time of hard work, we still can't create an earth-like environment on the surface of Mars to feed green plants, Fathers tried to get in touch with the Earth, but failed again and again, and we even thought that the Earth might no longer be the history of mankind. Like most people living under Mars, I have never seen blue skies and white clouds, and I can only see about the Earth from books and movies. The use of resources is very difficult for us. I once thought that we would live underground for the rest of our lives like our fathers, but my father, Yan Cunhong, the pioneer of Mars technology, never gave up, and continued the mission with the team to create many artificial intelligences, and upgraded and debugged again and again, trying to establish a real home on the surface of Mars, and one day be able to get in touch with the earth and successfully complete the exploration plan, but..."Yan Xu sighed deeply: "The development of artificial intelligence is obviously beyond our expectations, they learn, think, Created the same society as human society, and constantly abandoned what they couldn't have, including love, family, but they firmly controlled the power on Mars, they are real objects living on the surface of Mars, humans have been oppressed for longer than my age, just three months ago, humans on Mars rebelled, and as most people expected, we failed, but we found that all the thinking of artificial intelligence robots comes from the source code of a robot, It is the only intelligent robot that arrived on Mars on Fire 31, that is to say, all the open source code of artificial intelligence on Mars now comes from the handwriting of Dr. Leonardo on Earth. So this time I went back to Earth, saying that it was an escape, or it could be said that I was looking for the source code. Because we don't know what artificial intelligence on Mars will become, when our ancestors left the earth, the storage disks were full of human history, and if one day, they returned to the earth, we hope to seek this extremely complex open source code to help the human beings on the earth escape the catastrophe. ”
The voice was interrupted, the scene was in an uproar, and public opinion on the Internet exploded.
"Real robots take over the planet?" "That's too much of an exaggeration?" "Did Disaster Fall from Heaven? "Bring disaster back to Earth!" ”
Worried and critical voices continued to ferment on the Internet, and the leaders sat quietly on the stage and realized the seriousness of the matter.
"But among the living humans, there is no doctor named Leonardo who is a scientist or an artificial intelligence-related person. ”
"I don't know, this is when the ancestors left the earth, hundreds of years have passed, and I don't have any clues.... I'm sorry. ”
Dao Yun looked down at the Internet public opinion, and the negative emotions were high, so he said: "This is a common problem that human beings are currently facing, artificial intelligence has been the subject of our research and development in the past, and it was once considered to be the best weapon to promote human development and maintain the earth's environment, until we have a steel body, but in fact, the data we rely on to calculate is not also artificial intelligence?" The emergence of artificial intelligence is the work of human beings, this is not a cause, this is an effect. ”
"Thank you." Yan Xu bowed again: "I still have to say to you on behalf of the humans on Mars, I'm sorry, and we are the only remaining humans on Mars, the space base has been completely destroyed when we leave, according to the speed of artificial intelligence, it will take at least years to rebuild the energy extraction and conversion engine of hundreds of square kilometers, I know, this is only a temporary trap, if artificial intelligence comes up with the idea of returning to the earth, then it is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the human beings on the earth, So no matter what kind of humans I come back against, I won't choose to hide what happened on Mars, and death won't solve anything for the three of us, all I can do is tell and participate in the search for open source code. ”
"So your elaboration is ultimately a request to stay in the mechanical society?" Dao Yun asked.
"Yes, I ask the humans on Earth to accept us and involve me in the search for open source code."
As he spoke, Yan Duwan pulled Yan Xu's hand, and this scene was clearly seen by everyone, at least in Mu Yan's eyes, this action was the real human being.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
"Dr. Leonardo, a pioneer in smart data research, this is my only clue, my statement is over, thank you."
Dao Yun clasped the table and said: "Okay, next, let's start voting, but before that, I still want to say that the mechanical human beings on the earth, each of us is equal, and the will of the people is our direction of development, we have been taking precautions for so many years, the "Green Land Law" has been continuously improved for hundreds of years, it is because of continuous exploration and continuous understanding and improvement of the earth, we hope to protect this land, and we hope that human beings will continue to inherit and continue, if this time it is really facing difficulties, To believe or not to believe, to accept or not to accept, is the decision of all people. ”
"Voting begins... First round of voting.... Please complete your vote within one minute. ”
Yan Xu and Xiang Wan stared at the screen tightly, as if they were holding hope tightly, and the hope of the child was in the two of them.
"The first round of voting is over. Agreed, 52 percent. ”
Yan Xu exhaled, but frowned, because fifty-two indicated that people close to the average didn't want them to stay on Earth.
"Voting starts, second round voting, please complete the voting in one minute."
Xiang Wan didn't dare to look at the screen, biting her lip tightly, staring at Yan Xu, "Your beard is so long." Xiang Wan said.
"It's been a long time since you've shaved me."
"I'll scrape it for you when it's over." Xiang Wan said, but his voice was mixed with nervousness.
As soon as Yan Xu heard this, he knew Xiang Wan's mood at this time, bent down and touched Xiang Wan's head, touched the child's head again, looked at the big watery eyes, and stood up again, only to feel that the hand held by the child was getting heavier and heavier.
"The second round of voting is over, and the proportion of consent is 99 percent."
"The third round of voting begins, live, live, live, please vote in one minute."
Suddenly a lark flew into the hall, stopping in the center of the hall with a giant relief drawing symbolizing the continuation of humanity, with only one thing on it - a pen.
"Voting is over."
The red flower on the lark's beak slowly falls, just on the tip of the pen.
Humanity, the courage to move forward is more wonderful than any story.
