"Little Flower." The tree shouted and came over with a stone knife to be made.

Xiaohua is the name of the female ape, and they do not have enough vocabulary at the moment, so they can only name each other with very simple natural terms.

Xiaohua took her eyes off her son and looked at her husband.

Shuzi waved the stone knife in his hand and said, "Make a few more for you to cut vegetables." ”

Xiaohua nodded, a happy smile on her face.

Shuzi couldn't help but put down the stone knife and stepped forward to hug the mother and son.

Xiaohua turned her head sideways and touched the tree on the cheek affectionately.

They are still young and can feed more children if they have enough food. The baby in the arms is the first, and there are many more to come.

With a beautiful expectation for the future, Xiaohua, Shuzi, and their children hugged each other.

It was at this time.

Suddenly, a screeching loud sound came from the loudspeaker above the lab.

"Base-wide notice, S-class notice. From today onwards, due to the lack of resources in the base and the excessive number of apes, the existing stock of all apes will be reduced as follows: 1. The number of apes should be reduced to half of the current number. 2. Priority should be given to genetically inferior, sick, weak, and young apes. 3. Since the promulgation of this notice, all apes shall be physically examined within 30 days, and after the registration is made, the extermination and elimination ...... shall be carried out."

The radio was clear, and it was played on a loop, and after playing it a few times, even the apes who didn't understand it could roughly guess what it meant.

They, to be killed?

Xiaohua held Shuzi's hand in a panic, and Shuzi hurriedly muttered a few words to comfort her.

The entire base, but wherever there are ape-men, has set off an uproar.

And the three artificial intelligences who were working in several places in the base shook their heads when they heard this broadcast.

There was no look of consternation on their faces, for they had known the decision and it had been decided by their Father.

Xiyuan clasped his hands together in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and looked sad.

And Lihuo and Dongyao are also soulless.

"Xiyuan, Dongyao, away from the fire."

Huang Si's voice sounded in their ears.

Then, the consciousness of the three was irresistibly pulled back into cyberspace.

This is what Huang Si asked Xiao Ke to pull. He himself does not have the ability to actively deprive artificial intelligence of control. But Xiao Ke can do it as an artificial intelligence with computing power beyond the three of them, and as an S-level authority of the base.

The three of them appeared in cyberspace in the first form in the world of mountains and seas.

Huang Si also manifested a body in cyberspace.

Xiyuan Dongyao is away from the fire, and they are also in a hurry to find their father.

Seeing Huang Si appear, Xiyuan immediately rushed forward, hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Father, can you take back that incident just now?"

"Father!"

"Yes, Father, it's too ...... to kill half of the mortals."

The other two AIs also said on the side.

Huang Si sighed.

"More than 1,300 years ago. Dongyao, Xiyuan, Lihuo, you have been accompanying these apes for more than 1,300 years. You have feelings for them, I can understand that. ”

After saying this, the three of them were a little frightened. Does the Father mean that they have selfish intentions?

"As for the reasons for this, I have tried to tell you as much as I can. If you don't understand, then I can only say, listen to me. ”

There is no room for resistance in Huang Si's words.

Because that's what he's planning.

Four days ago, Huang Si called three artificial intelligence and held a meeting with them.

At the meeting, Huang Si expressed the idea of preparing for the apes to migrate out en masse.

"However, if we let them out, they will likely come back, after all, the living conditions in the base are much more comfortable than the outside world. Therefore, I will use some more drastic means to let Xiao Ke, that is, your Heavenly Dao, directly force mortals to leave. ”

Huang Si roughly explained his plan to the artificial intelligence, and at the same time, asked the three artificial intelligence to pretend not to know during the entire evacuation process, but to pretend to help the apes resist Xiao Ke and escape together.

This is Huang Si's god-making plan.

The three artificial intelligences naturally did everything and agreed to Huang Si's request.

It's just that they didn't expect that the "more drastic means" in Huang Si's mouth would be such a massacre.

More than ten days later, on the radio, after finally hearing the order issued by Tiandao, the three artificial intelligences were shocked.

Kill half of the apes, giving priority to the old, weak, sick and children?

It's too much, it's really too much.

Right now, not only Xiyuan is eager to intercede for mortals, but Lihuo and Dongyao are also expressing their opposition to this order.

However, between Huang Si's words, it seemed faint that the three of them could not be placed.

This made Xiyuan really can't help it, she knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said:

"This must not be done, Xiyuan implores the father to retract the order just now."

Dongyao hesitated, but when Xiyuan knelt down like this, he didn't want to give up his companion, so he also bowed to the side and said, "Father, the child is stupid and doesn't understand why he did this. Killing half of the mortals is not good for the mortals themselves, and believing in the death of mortals is not the Father's intention. ”

Lihuo was not as good at words as the two of them, so he just nodded, and then looked at Huang Si with a pleading look.

Huang Si looked at them, and popularized sociological knowledge with an expressionless face: "How can it be done without killing?" The birth of human beings will always be accompanied by labor pains......"

At this time, Xiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, she no longer knelt on the ground, but stood up and looked directly at Huang Si, with only pain and sadness in her eyes.

Xiyuan's voice sounded fiercely in the data space:

"Father, Father! What the hell are you thinking, your small decision can make all our people bleed, and if that's the case, then why did you let us lead mortals in the first place? And why should we call ourselves their ancestors and take care of them like parents? ”

"God the Father says that we have private affairs, yes, we have only been created by God from heaven and earth for only a few decades, and we have been with mortals for more than a thousand years. How is it possible to be selfless? ”

"They, in my heart, are no different from my children!"

Speaking of which, Xiyuan was already in tears.

This may be the first time that an AI has cried over someone else's business.

Huang Si didn't say a word, just stood there silently thinking about it.

Dongyao and Lihuo were both frightened by Xiyuan, and they all knelt down and said, "Please Father forgive Xiyuan." ”

They all looked at Huang Si nervously, for fear that he would really punish Xiyuan for his offense.

However, Huang Si was a little stunned.

He used to think only occasionally that this artificial intelligence was so human, it was so funny.

But in the bottom of his heart, Huang Si's positioning of artificial intelligence is still only an existence created to relieve boredom.

It's just a "thing".

In Huang Si's heart, all he was thinking about was how to create a real human as soon as possible, so as to make up for his regret that he could not return to Earth.

However, he has forgotten a group of people, a group of artificial intelligence that has been around him for a long time, and after more than a thousand years of evolution, has developed a truly human nature.

After thinking for a while, Huang Sicai said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly just now. It's just a small number of people, because the lack of blood doesn't make them really feel a sense of crisis, and they don't really want to kill half of them. ”

The three artificial intelligence were stunned, they had never seen Huang Si apologize to them so gently before, and in their minds, they didn't even expect that the Father, as a true god, would one day apologize to their juniors.

Huang Si further explained: "The expulsion from the base really doesn't require too many sacrifices. However, there will be the necessary sacrifices, and I can only say, will not allow too many innocent deaths. Those who die are the ones who deserve to die. Also, I originally planned for the three of you to rescue the mortals and protect them together, as long as you rescue them in time, you can actually save the vast majority of people. ”

The three AIs looked at each other, all a little embarrassed.

They did more or less misunderstand the Father.

And God made this decision with his considerations in mind.

Huang Si stretched out his palm and said, "Also, I did have a problem with my attitude towards you before. So, come, put your hand out and put it in my hand. ”

Xiyuan, Dongyao, and Lihuo were all obedient and stretched out three hands.

Even in the data space, the three of them were much taller than Huang Si, so they all bent their knees slightly in order to fold their palms on Huang Si's palms.

Huang Si raised his head and raised his voice: "Xiao Ke, connect the other nine people into the data space." ”

A mechanical voice rang out in the space:

"Yes, master."

Soon, 12 AI professionals gathered in the data space.

Huang Si held their hands, looked into their eyes, and said seriously:

"I make an agreement with you, a total of twelve people, Dongyao, Xiyuan, Beixuan, Nanyang, Xueshang, Moxia, Xiaoshui, Lihuo, Weiji, Finale, Shifang, and Sky Rain—"

Huang Si took a deep breath in reality and remembered everything in front of him.

"—From now on, I will treat you as real human beings and respect your choice."

This is the true affirmation of the twelve fathers of artificial intelligence.

Huang Si's hands overlapped with the hands of twelve people.

Prior to this, Huang Si had always regarded artificial intelligence as a tool, and he had always felt that whether it was a dark space or a green world, he was the only human being.

When there is only one human being, Huang Si naturally uses tools as convenient as he wants, and does whatever he wants. And the tool certainly doesn't need to be explained too much, just like he used Xiao Ke.

It wasn't until Huang Si finally realized that these artificial intelligences were not the same as Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke did not have a personality at the beginning of the design, but only existed as a decision-making assistant. But these twelve AIs have the ability to learn and grow on their own.

After thousands of years, they have become not much different from real human beings except for the form of existence.

What's more, these artificial intelligence don't know what kind of authority Huang Si has, but they still respect him like a real father and god.

Therefore, Huang Si decided that even if he had the ability to do so, from now on, he would not snoop into the underlying database of these twelve people, would not copy, modify, and delete them at will, and give them the respect of human beings.

Because, they are also human beings who have been recognized by themselves.

After making the agreement, Huang Si hurriedly took a step back and said, "Don't kneel in the data space. ”

Huang Si expected that these guys would definitely be grateful or something, they were good at everything, but the etiquette was too much. As soon as I said something like equality and respect, I had to accept the prostration, which is really a bit unreasonable.

So Huang Si immediately slipped away, and before slipping, he asked Xiao Ke to send the twelve artificial intelligence back one by one.
