One-Seven-Eight: Kind robots
Looking at the heavy warships that kept passing by and slowly slowed down and stopped nearby, the pirates on the small wrecked ship were all confused, and they couldn't figure out what kind of existence they had provoked, and why so many warships appeared to encircle and suppress them... Is it really just for their little trash fish?
If it's just to deal with these little miscellaneous fish who can't make much of a storm, it seems that they don't even need a battleship, just send a few patrol boats, assault boats, trot boats, or something! Even、As long as you find someone to pass on a message, they are not the kind of people who don't know what to do!
This special, this special, this special use of so many heavy warships with no end in sight to deal with a few pirates in their mere area... Don't bully people! It's not like words, it's not like words.
Some of them have begun to wonder what this outrageously large fleet is here for a massive campaign. Do you want to do something about their territory, or the surrounding territory? Anyway, no one wants to believe that this huge fleet is specially designed to deal with their little pirates.
Not to mention anything else, the resources, manpower, and material resources consumed by this fleet to brave the wind and waves and sail across the ocean to come here are astronomical amounts. If you have to measure the gains and losses of interests, even if you take away all the money they have accumulated here and all the pirates that they have accumulated over the years, and then capture all of them back as slaves, and be slaves for a hundred years, it will not be worth the resources consumed by this fleet... Provided that they can live that long.
Even ordinary people, even ordinary people who have not graduated from elementary school, can calculate this account clearly!
Isn't it clear to those who can have, or rather have the ability to deploy such a large fleet, this? Obviously impossible!
In that case, the purpose of this fleet is definitely not specifically to deal with their pirates... But not to deal with them, and for whom is this huge fleet here? I'm afraid that the general small resistance and small forces are not worth such a big fight!
In fact, not only these pirates are thinking wildly, but even the large and small territories around the sea are also suspicious and afraid... The scale of Chen's fleet is really big, not to mention that Chen has never thought of hiding from anyone, even if he really wants to hide it, such a huge fleet can't hide it!
Although this fleet is still staying in the Gonggong Sea, the people in the surrounding territory do not dare to take it lightly, let alone turn a blind eye!
If one of them accidentally provokes someone who doesn't even know what's going on, and lets this fleet come to them for trouble, then it's really troublesome. With the sea power and coastal defense capabilities in the hands of the surrounding territory, even if they are united, there is absolutely no chance that they will win against this fleet, how can they not be afraid, how dare not worry?
It is precisely because of the unequal strength of the two sides that even if they found the traces of this fleet, they did not send corresponding forces to inquire, but sent a large number of men and high-tech equipment to quietly reconnoiter the movements and progress of this fleet, and looked forward to it in their hearts and muttered: "Hurry up, hurry up, you can't see me, you can't see me..."
Isn't this self-deception? Don't the people in charge of the surrounding territory understand this truth? No, they know this better than anyone else, but they can't defeat the unrivaled fleet out there, and what other way can they come up with but pray for the favor of Heaven and deceive themselves?
No, absolutely not, even if they have the heart to fight to the death, but the absolute gap in strength is like a chasm, a moat, and it will never be smoothed out so easily.
Speaking of which, they are also Uncle Sam's old neighbors, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't be so bad, but in fact they are not... As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and communication between territories and territories will never exist, and no one will help their neighbors for no reason. Even, they will deliberately find ways to suppress their 'old neighbors' for one reason or another, so as to prevent the 'old neighbors' from rising and keep themselves in the dominant position forever.
Even if it wasn't for dominance, they wouldn't allow a powerful 'old neighbor' to exist on their side. As the old saying goes, 'How can someone snore on the side of the couch?' Uncle Sam will never allow an 'old neighbor' who can be a threat to him.
Of course, their current weakness is not only due to external interference, but also due to their own geographical location, energy strengths, development ideas and other reasons.
In any case, the absolute strength in the hands of these territories is not too strong, at least they don't dare to turn the spearhead and fire at someone Chen right now, and even if they are worried about causing a misunderstanding, they don't even dare to reconnoiter the situation with a fleet close to the open sea and close to someone Chen.
It's not that they're timid, it's the rules of survival they've learned over the years... Don't be nosy, curiosity kills cats!
All right! This is actually a cowardice, but it is normal to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in their own lack of strength, and this can't be blamed on them, right?
The problem is, they don't want to provoke Chen, but Chen wants to provoke them!
No, Chen didn't want to provoke them or bully them, but Chen was attracted by the pirates' rhetoric and became interested in the situation here.
Soon after the warship surrounded the pirates' small wrecked ship, Chen sent a 'super soldier' to chat with the pirates... Always around a group of pirates, don't do anything and don't make a fuss! He's so busy, where is there so much time to spend here with this group of pirates?
Besides, so many warships are consuming fuel and resources every minute and every second, and he can't afford to consume them!
Under the leadership of Chen, a group of 'super soldiers' put on mecha and used the special catapult system on [Raven Triple A] to jump one after another, and were 'launched' onto the pirates' small wrecked ships one by one... The pirates who had never seen it before, and who couldn't even think of it, were immediately amazed.
It's just that because the 'super soldier' didn't take off the mecha, the pirates naturally regarded the 'super soldier' as a robot-like existence... The reason why it is said to be robots is because this is the first time that the pirates have seen a robot that can speak, and has a certain amount of intelligence and is well organized.
Although all the pirates were talking in a slurred manner, Chen did not see negative expressions such as fear, worry, fear, hatred and other negative expressions in their expressions... This was not only felt by Chen, but also by the staff officers and correspondents around him. That's right, it's just a surprise, although these clones around Chen are stereotyped at birth, never evolve again, and have no possibility of improving their wisdom and knowledge, their own wisdom and ability are actually relatively high, even compared with some professionals in the outside world, these clones are actually not bad.
In particular, they have all come into contact with a lot of relatively confidential information and intelligence from the previous Sandwich Islands and the information provided by Chen, and they are deeply aware of the trauma of the disaster brought by the robot disaster to mankind. Whether it's the people on the Sandwich Islands, or the people in the information you provided, who are used as typical references, they all hate robots to the core, or they are terrified, and they are afraid that they can't do it when they meet. That's why they are surprised and puzzling when they see that pirates are not afraid or hateful of robots. Because in their eyes, this is so obviously illogical!
Although Chen didn't have the idea of using the 'super soldier' to scare the pirates with the appearance of a robot after wearing a mecha, it doesn't matter if you don't show any fear... There are still bold people, and besides, at this time, who hasn't seen a few robots yet! Even if a robot that can fly, breathe fire, and grow wings is still a robot after all, it will not become something else because of this, so if you are not afraid, you should not be afraid! But what the hell do you don't have the slightest hatred for robots? Didn't the robot hurt you, your relatives and friends?
After knowing that the pirates told themselves and the specific situation in their territory, Chen only knew... The robots really didn't hurt them, let alone any humans.
Not only them, but even the surrounding territory has not been harmed by robots... What robot plague? It doesn't exist here at all, and it never has been. Here and in the surrounding territories, all the robots can coexist peacefully with humans and all humans, without any disputes or conflicts.
Of course, the robots here have not helped humans, even a trivial matter has not helped Gu; Or rather, in the pirates' minds, they had never seen or heard of robots helping humans.
In the earliest days, when cheap robots began to be sold publicly around the world, there were ordinary people who bought robots in large quantities, as in other territories. However, when robots make trouble and make trouble in other territories, although the robots here are also involved in this, the robots here do not rule the humans here savagely.
After experiencing the initial fear and helplessness, people outside of the world found that although the robots here will also patrol the streets, and even set up checkpoints at some intersections to restrict people's travel, in fact, the robots here will not affect the normal life of ordinary people... It's like, it's like everything the robots here do just to pretend, to show others, not to really want to make people here.
To be honest, when I first learned the truth of this matter, no one believed it, and people didn't dare to believe it, but as time went by, with the fermentation of events and people's continuous temptation... As a result, I found that the robots here are like decorations, although they look fierce, but in fact they have no impact on the daily lives of ordinary people.
No matter what appears outside or what people see, ordinary people just need to ignore the unusual and abnormal things and continue to live according to the previous trajectory of life. Or it can be put another way, as long as ordinary people don't take the initiative to provoke those robots that can be seen everywhere, they can go to work as usual, eat when they should eat, drink, and do whatever they want, without any change from their previous lives.
Even, at the very beginning, the crime rate in the entire territory decreased rapidly, and even some petty thefts were not much appreciated, let alone more egregious crimes, and there were even fewer relevant units that almost thought that they would be laid off and re-employed.
Of course, this was the beginning, and people were still a little afraid of the ubiquitous robots. Many people are worried that these robots are like patrols, and they don't affect the lives of ordinary people in normal times, but when someone commits a crime, these robots will immediately arrest them.
That's right! In the streets and alleys, or even in more hidden places, there are robots everywhere... It's like the whole world is full of surveillance, and any crime will be detected by the robot and catch a person; In this case, even if you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, you don't dare to do anything bad!
But with the continuous temptation of some people, they found that even if these robots saw petty theft, or even snatching bags on the street, they wouldn't care, or even pretend not to see, pretend not to see, pretend not to see, what the hell is pretending not to see? You're robots! How can there be such a setting as pretending not to be seen? This is too outrageous, too nonsense, too much!
It wasn't until this time that the people here knew that the robots here really didn't care what ordinary people did, and they could really do whatever they wanted.
Even if someone goes up and pats the robot on the shoulder, grimaces at the robot, or something like that, it won't cause any reaction or trouble.
Of course, if someone has to die, scribble directly on the robot, or even throw stones and rotten eggs, the robot will still retaliate and severely punish for such provocative behavior.
Then, the people here quickly adapted and got used to the presence of robots, what they were supposed to do before, what they were doing now, and how they did it now. It can be said that there is no difference to the people here with or without robots, at most, at most it is just one more scenery, and it has no impact on ordinary people, nor does it have any impact on the development and life here. This has been the case until now, nothing has changed, which is why pirates do not resist, fear, or hate robots.
If only one pirate said this, Chen would definitely not believe it, and maybe someone would throw him into the icy waters to sober him up because this guy lied; But when most of them said this, it was impossible for Chen to not believe it.
To be honest, Chen doesn't believe that there are such 'kind' robots in this world, or that he doesn't believe those who are involved in this matter, who were members of [Chess] before, and who control the robots behind their backs.
If those people were really so kind and kind, why did they join [Chess] and participate in this matter before?
Of course, Chen also knows that there are no absolutes in the world, maybe there is really such a kind and talkative person, but because of an accident or forced to join [chess] and participate in this matter.
Otherwise, how could there be so many pirates speaking for the robots?
To be honest, if it were Sandwich Islands, or polar bears, Uncle Sam, or people from other places, they would definitely not have any liking for robots, and even hysterically scold them whenever they talked about them. If the spitting stars can drown the robots, I'm afraid all the robots will decay and collapse among the spitting stars of billions of people... They don't care what's wrong with saying bad things about the robot behind their backs and scolding the robot.
Truth be told, Chen did get interested in the robots and wanted to see if they were really what the pirates had described.
Of course, the most important point is not Chen's interest and curiosity, but in the description of the pirates, the life and production of all the people here have not stopped, and they have not stopped for a moment... What does this mean? This shows that the breeding of grain and other crops, even poultry and livestock, has never stopped on this territory, and it shows that there is a large amount of food and daily necessities stored here.
And these things are exactly what Chen is in short supply! Whether it's for himself and his team of clones, or for the more than a million people on the Sandwich Islands, Chen is desperate to get more food and living supplies from more channels. If this place is really like what the pirates described, this place is simply paradise for him Chen!
Whether it is other territories or forces that have not been discovered, or can be ignored, or not thought of, as long as there is food and living materials that Chen wants to get and urgently needs, then he can do a business with the people here, a big business that is extremely beneficial to both parties.
Even, Chen still wants to have more in-depth cooperation with the people here and the robots here... Giving them some low-tech and low-tech work is like outsourcing some simple work to them.
Alternatively, Chan could make a deal with the locals to use it as his own supply point, or even as a pedal board to connect Brooks Island to Uncle Sam.
Of course, this is just a preliminary idea of Chen, and it is absolutely impossible to complete this matter in a short period of time.
As for the real situation here, is it the same as the pirates say? Why do you care so much? Wouldn't it be clear if you took a look at it in the past?
Thinking of this, Chen simply ordered the fleet to be separated on both sides, and let the entire fleet anchor here while letting the pirates' small broken ships leave... Chen's meaning was already obvious, he wasn't going to leave for the time being, he had to find out what was going on here, and he wouldn't leave until he was restocked.
As for the situation here, what if it is different from what the pirates say, and he Chen does not have too many supplies?
Anyway, it won't be him who is unlucky, so what does he have to worry about? It's really not good, it's a big deal to beat up the people who deceive themselves here, or the robots, and 'replenish' some supplies while venting their anger.
After making up his mind and letting go of the pirates, who were still in a state of confusion but secretly happy in their hearts, Chen did not arrange for his clones to land in the port with the pirates to check the situation. It's not that Chen is worried that the clone will have an accident or cause trouble, but that Chen's action this time is not hidden, and he believes that the people here will not see such a large fleet anchored here.
Since it's impossible for people not to know, then just send someone up to negotiate with them openly, why do you have to be sneaky?
Adjusting the radio to the universal frequency, Chen directly sent a message to explain his request to get supplies here... As for whether the other side will agree to Chen's request? This doesn't seem to be something that Chen should worry about, but something that the other side should worry about!
In the previous accounts of the pirates, Chen Someone, of course, must also ask about the specific situation and real strength here... Although the pirates' statements are not clear, and they are concealed and unclear in many places, Chen can still figure out the general strength. For example, there are no heavy warships, no advanced aircraft, etc., and even if the pirates want to, they can't hide it!!
Even if they have developed very quickly in the past year or so, and have received the help of the robot side, their former foundation also determines that their development speed will not be too fast... Besides, the robots here are not necessarily very powerful, at most, at most, they are only comparable to the strength of the robots on other continents, or even only a little stronger than the robots on the Sandwich Islands, or slightly stronger, is it necessary to worry about such strength? There's no need for it!
Besides, Chen really has no ill will towards this place, nor has he thought about who to occupy, dominate, or exploit, he just wants to find a supply point, a helper, or even a partner for himself. If the situation here is really the same as the pirates described, if the robots here really have no ill will towards humans, Chen really doesn't mind cooperating with them, even if it is deeper cooperation and deeper cooperation, Chen will not object.
