Chapter 142: Mixed Fish and Dragons
The original purpose of the fortress was not to use it for the civil war between human beings, but to have some Noah's Ark meaning, the main purpose of which was to explore the deepest deep sea and avoid possible alien attacks, so as to leave the last seed of hope for mankind.
However, it is difficult for human beings to prevent thieves after all, and it is not alien civilizations that destroy human domination, but artificial intelligence created by human beings themselves.
Fortunately, the luck of human beings is not bad, this vast sea fortress that was originally used to take refuge and resist attacks was able to get rid of the clutches, and it is indeed a spark of hope that has left a little hope for mankind, but it seems unlikely that it will be possible to turn the tables for human beings with the help of it.
The vast sea fortress is huge, and from the outside it looks like a large oval ball floating on the vast ocean, but only those who walk in know that this huge floating ball has never swayed with the sea, but has stayed on the surface of the sea without moving.
Yang Ming and the others were greeted only by a few small hatches in the middle of the Haohai Fortress, and they could only enter the interior of the Haohai Fortress after walking through a very long corridor.
At that time, the lively crowd that Xiao Mang and Xiao Zhupole saw through the porch was just the tip of the iceberg inside the Haohai Fortress, which would really enter the interior, and even Yang Ming gasped.
High-rise buildings, flying cars, endless crowds of people, the criss-crossing streets are lined with all kinds of shops, there are restaurants, there are drink shops, far away you can also see some curvaceous women in the distance in the nightclubs, people who come out of these shops, all with satisfied smiles on their faces, as if this is a paradise.
At this moment, Ariana and the others thought that they had traveled back in time, back to the time when humans were still in control of the earth.
General Hong looked at the surprised expressions of Yang Ming and the others, smiled with satisfaction, and then said proudly: "Haohai Fortress has a vast area, and the interior was originally built according to the city where humans can live, and all the operating equipment here is already complete, not only is there no shortage of fresh water and energy, even food will be continuously supplied from the sea, except for the occasional need for some inland things, as long as there are no major accidents, Haohai Fortress can live without worry." β
"Wow! Is this what human cities were like in the past? It's really the same as what you see on the video, it's so beautiful! The little bamboo pole looked at the high-rise buildings under his feet and the speeding cars shuttling around him, and said with emotion.
At this time, Xiao Mang didn't have the mood to laugh at the little bamboo pole, but opened his mouth wide and looked at everything around him, and the horror in his heart was like a monstrous wave, impacting this young man who had not walked out of the mountains much.
"Well, a self-contained system can not rely on external objects, and the Haohai Fortress has indeed lived up to the original intention of designing him, leaving hope for mankind." Yang Ming looked at the self-sufficient city in the sea in front of him, and couldn't help but nod his head.
"Alas! In the eyes of outsiders, it is really good, both the number of people and the life here are already very good, but if people drink water, they know it! Yang Ming's praise not only made the old general Hong, who had just looked proud, even more happy, but said with a gloomy expression.
"What's the matter, General Hong's vast sea fortress also has troubles?" Yaliana was originally very surprised by the scale of the Haohai Fortress, but when she heard the sigh of the old general Hong, she came back to her senses and asked.
"Girl Anna, don't call me General Hong, call me Uncle Hong, otherwise it will be too foreign." Old General Hong glanced at Yaliana and said softly.
"Yes, Uncle Hong!" Ariana nodded obediently in agreement.
"Hahaha! That's right, you little girl is just as kind and gentle as your father. General Hong laughed and said.
After laughing, he glanced at Yang Ming, who was frowning and looking at the streets and alleys of the city, and said: "Haohai Fortress naturally has the difficulties of Haohai Fortress, how about Yang Ming, boy, you have been watching for a long time, do you already know what the problem is?" β
"School? There is no school here, and there is a shortage of talents overall, although the training personnel who drive the Haohai Fortress may be enough, but now these technologies basically rely on the previous foundation, after so many years, there is no progress at all, and there is no systematic school.
The advantage of human beings is continuous progress, but the Haohai Fortress is stagnant, just barely surviving, maybe there will be no problems in a hundred years, but if it has been stagnant, the sinking of the Haohai Fortress is a matter of time. Yang Ming said almost without thinking.
"Yo he! You kid can! Okay, this time the meeting you convened will be relieved to have you in me. "General Hong is a cheerful person, even if his hand was held into a pig's trotter by Yang Ming just now, this time he also deliberately took the school examination, but he didn't expect Yang Ming's words, and the old man immediately admired it unabashedly.
"Uncle Hong, is that really the case?" Although the old man appreciated that Yang Ming's answer had already leaked the heavenly secret, Ariana still asked with some incomprehension.
"This kid is right, when the Haohai Fortress was repaired again, those working robots suddenly rioted, and we finally solved them, but there were no soldiers around or some ship repair personnel, except for these people, and the people who designed the fortress were not there.
There was no way, we had to drive the Haohai Fortress to the nearest port to pick up as many people as possible, but the speed of super intelligence was fast enough, so there was no time to pick and choose, so we could only pull all of them on the ship, but even if they were all pulled on the boat, there were still not many useful people. "General Hong is not afraid to expose his shortcomings.
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why General Hong is willing to take the initiative to undertake this human summit, right?" Yang Ming looked at General Hong with a smile and said.
Old General Hong scratched his head in embarrassment, and was not angry at Yang Ming for revealing his thoughts, and said bluntly: "That's right, in addition to the reason for Anna's little girl, this is also one of our purposes." β
"Actually, this is not a big problem, if the counterattack on land is inevitable, then the scientific and technological talents everywhere must avoid huge losses, and the sinkhole is a place where there are more talents than combat power, and it is not impossible to move them into the fortress." Yang Ming saw that General Hong had no intention of concealing it at all, and he also got straight to the point.
"What! Really, you kid counts when he talks? When General Hong heard Yang Ming say that, he immediately stopped leading the way, but turned around and stared straight at Yang Mingdao.
Yang Ming and the others had just arrived at Haohai Fortress, and they didn't even have a chance to sit down and rest their legs, so they actually gave General Hong such a big surprise, which made General Hong a little excited and couldn't help himself.
"I'm just making a proposal, where is the real master!" Yang Ming waved his hand, but pointed to Ariana instead.
"Yes, Yang Ming's words can represent Tiankeng, since he thinks it's okay, the scientific and technological personnel of Tiankeng will move to Haohai Fortress during the war, and will assist in establishing a school here." Ariana nodded with a smile.
"Hahahaha! Great, with your words, the old man is relieved, you can rest assured, although there are not many scientific and technological talents here, there are many people who have been tempered by the old man, and the combat power is good! There are still some that naturally go out of their way if needed. General Hong also replied cheerfully.
"Then thank you Uncle Hong!" Ariana laughed as well.
"Hey, hey, hey! Yang Ming, don't you know how to sit down and talk slowly, and talk about the price? Wouldn't it be too much of a loss to just settle the matter in a few words? At this time, Fang Jian on the side pulled Yang Ming, who was talking happily with General Hong, to hide in the distance, and then reminded him dissatisfiedly.
"So what, do both sides take out the abacus beads and calculate?" Yang Ming looked at Fang Jian and said with a smile.
"Anyway, you have to bargain, and it's good to put forward more conditions?" Fang Jian was still not satisfied that Yang Ming had met the request of the old general Hong in such a hurry.
"Hehe, Fang Jian, you don't really think that this old man is just talking and playing along the way, right? You have to have this capital to sell at the price, and the reason why this old man came all the way and deliberately slowed down his pace and babbled to reveal his shortcomings is nothing more than a temptation.
That's right, Haohai Fortress is indeed short of scientific and technological talents, but as long as this summit is over, this problem of Haohai Fortress is destined to be solved.
Whether it's us who are determined to fight back against the mechanical territory and are willing to let the scientific and technological talents in our hands take refuge here, or we want to hide in the fortress of the vast sea for safety, there will be no shortage of these two people in this meeting.
On the one hand, the old man tested us to see if we could figure out the situation, and wanted to see what kind of movement could be made in this meeting in the future.
On the other hand, it is also to give us a chance, which may also be due to the friendship of Ariana's parents at the beginning, if we really wait for him to lead the way and take it to the place without giving a clear answer, I think even if there is friendship, I am afraid that the old man may not be willing to help anymore.
Because he will think that we are too utilitarian, friendship is similar to perception, he thinks you are good, then it still exists, he thinks you are not good, I'm afraid there is not much left. Yang Ming explained slowly as he walked forward.
"Ahh Not really! We're here to help them fight back against the mechanical realm, and even if the name of the savior doesn't work, they should always work together to fight back against the super intelligence, right? I don't believe it, even if we don't give him an answer, can he still help us fight back against the mechanical territory? Fang Jian seemed to feel that the old general Hong's military uniform must have the determination to fight back against the super wisdom, so he didn't believe that Yang Ming felt that the old man had so many twists and turns.
"Alas! Fang Jian said that you are naΓ―ve, you are still energetic, then let me ask you Since the purpose of General Hong is to fight back against super intelligence, then at his age, what is he still thinking about what he wants scientific and technological talents to do, why don't you take the Haohai Fortress and directly crash into the mechanical territory where the super wisdom is located? Yang Ming looked at Fang Jian with a smile.
"This ......" Fang Jian was stunned by Yang Ming's question, and he really didn't know how to answer for a while.
"It's a good thing to fight back against super intelligence to take back the absolute control of the human race, but whether it can be done is another matter, whether it is General Hong or the people who participated in this meeting next, the first thing they think of is definitely not the celebration of human success, but how to live safely, this is the instinct of human beings.
Not to mention a savior who is difficult to determine whether it is true or false, now they are sure that I am the savior, and they can't all take out their lives to fight to the death for us, people are selfish, people die like lights out, they die and enjoy happiness No one knows, after all, there are few people who are passionate about it, and chasing fame and fortune is the norm. Yang Ming shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Yang Ming knew that it would never be easy to come to Haohai Fortress this time, it was impossible to worship the savior and fight to the death, they were all living people, it was impossible to be selfless, who should be born to die for whom? There is no such reason at all.
If you want all forces to nod and agree to help them attack the mechanical fortress, in addition to the benefits after success, there must be some guarantees, otherwise, just like General Hong, he can give you a contribution, but he must also have a back hand to let the people in the Haohai fortress continue to live.
Fang Jian was dumbfounded by Yang Ming's words, originally he thought that if he came to the Haohai Fortress and assumed the identity of the savior, these humans who were overwhelmed by super intelligence would work together and fight to the death.
But I didn't expect that I had just entered the Haohai Fortress, and even an old man who had an old friend with Ariana's family and looked straightforward had so many twists and turns, so what kind of situation should the next group of people be?
Fang Jian felt a headache when he thought about it, he used to be a person in the office who only knew how to do his duty well and didn't know anything about office politics, let alone intrigue with these people who lived in stormy days.
Just when Fang Jian and Yang Ming were muttering for a long time, Old General Hong had already taken them to the top of the Haohai Fortress, which was a few floors above the city below, and was closer to the top of the Haohai Fortress, which could overlook the scenery inside the entire Haohai Fortress, and it was also a rare and pure place.
"When you arrive, the resting place is on this floor, you can choose a room to repair it, and the old man will personally pick up the wind for you at night." Old General Hong took Yang Ming and them to the place, and said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Hong!" Ariana immediately thanked her with a bright smile, and Yang Ming also hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, General Hong." Naturally, the others did not dare to slack off and thanked in unison.
"Hahaha! You're welcome, you guys rest first, old man, I'll leave first if I still have something to do. General Hong laughed, and then walked towards an elevator that went straight up and down.
When General Hong passed by Yang Ming's side, his footsteps paused slightly, and whispered in Yang Ming's ear: "There are mixed fish and dragons below, although you kid has some skills, you have to be careful, especially some soft knives, killing people is bloodless." After saying that, General Hong didn't stop and left in stride.
And Yang Ming was stunned at first, and then he understood what General Hong meant, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, General Hong." "I want to talk to more like-minded people about The Human Erasion System,;" , talk about life, find a confidant~
