"You refuse? Why do you refuse? Achilles was made to laugh a little by Liphes's words, "Can you represent all of the Chosen Army?" ”

"I'm sorry, I have to correct you again, we are now the Guardian Independent Division, and we are no longer the Chosen Army." I don't know when Lifus began to address Achilles from "you" to "you".

"This ridiculous hatred you have for me right now is actually a human flaw that prevents humanity from continuing to evolve. You've always been the best of all the agents, but now you need to throw away these shortcomings in order to become better and more perfect, and accept the makeover! You deserve eternal life! "Achilles' language is inflammatory, and he has long been a full-fledged politician who knows how to exploit human weaknesses.

"I do have a hatred for you, I will never deny it, the deaths of the deceased dozen members of the Seven Group and the thousands of Guardians in the past month have to be counted on your head, but this hatred is not the main reason why I rejected your proposal. I think we have some disagreement about whether the development of intelligent machines by humans is evolutionary or degenerate, and in fact, I prefer the latter. "Lifus began to make reasoned arguments, his expression and voice were calm, he did not seem to be carried away by hatred, he was indeed better than most humans, acting like a smart machine, calm and objective." It is precisely these emotions, joys and sorrows, love and hatred, that make this world rich and colorful, which is human nature and the cornerstone of the development of human civilization. Think about it, if human beings lose the ability to express their emotions and can only live like the walking dead, and the brains that have been transformed into binaries have no personality and characteristics of their own, and are left to work tirelessly and obey orders forever, then what is the point of finally conquering the universe and not being able to be happy and proud? Besides, the ultimate desire to conquer the universe shouldn't have been in the plans of the Wisdom Machine at all, right? ”

"As for what you said about smart machines that will make technology develop faster, I don't dare to agree. That's right, the storage, computing and learning capabilities of smart machines are beyond the reach of human beings, and they will definitely drive the rapid development of science and technology in a short period of time, but you ignore one of the most important factors in the development of science and technology, that is, imagination, which is what smart machines lack. All the theoretical knowledge of basic science exists naturally, waiting for those who have insight and are good at whimsical imagination to discover it, not invent it, any major change in the history of science and technology is discovered by some imaginative human beings, never expect those numb and ruthless heads on metal mechanical bodies to be able to associate gravity after being smashed by an apple, even if those precision processors whose processes have surpassed the nanometer limit have countless cores and threads, It's nothing more than 0 and 1 inside. ”

Achilles and Livers' amplified conversation caught the attention of some of the people in the room, who put down their work and gathered around Livsus and Green.

"You're prejudice! You are slandering! It's narrow-minded racism! Look! This is the root of your human nature, and you will never learn to face the problem objectively. ”

Achilles seemed a little agitated, and Lifus's opinion of the Mind Machine made him very unhappy.

"If the intelligent machine has no imagination and creativity, then how do you explain the scientific and technological development of the alliance over the years? We have taken Earth's civilization to unprecedented heights and ushered in a new century that is beyond the reach of the humans who once ruled this planet. ”

"I have just said this question, with the high energy and efficiency of intelligent machines, the scientific and technological level of the earth will definitely develop rapidly in a short period of time, but it will soon reach a bottleneck period, I hope you can understand that the concept and meaning of science and technology are different, these are two different things. The progress of science requires creation and innovation, for example, the first industrial revolution made the earth enter the age of steam, the second industrial revolution made the earth enter the electric age, the third industrial revolution made the earth enter the information age, and the fourth industrial revolution made the earth into the current particle age. Tesla, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Turing, Zou Dufeng, etc., who single-handedly changed the world, changed the times, and changed the future. It is true that, as you said, there are many weaknesses and many flaws in human beings, but our strengths are also obvious, and without human involvement, the basic science of this planet will stagnate. ”

Liphes finished his point with a slight sarcasm, as if intent on provoking Achilles.

"In that case, there is no need for us to continue negotiations." In the video, the man in Achilles' incarnation stands up as if angry, the metal seat under him suddenly pans backwards for a short distance due to the support of his legs, and the chair legs make a short, rapid "crunch" sound as they rub against the ground, "One day you will pay for your stupidity and arrogance, my proud human friend." I believe that this day will come soon, and according to my calculations, your food, ammunition and other supplies will be unsustainable, right? Can you still hold out for half a month? Or ten days? When you run out of ammunition, you'll know how precious my kindness is today, and hopefully you'll still have the same ego and confidence you have now, provided you don't get blown up by my robots in the days to come. I wish you lived until that day, Mr. Livers, or I would be disappointed. ”

As soon as the voice ended, Achilles directly turned off the video communication.

"Is it really as bad as it says it is?" Livers asked Greene.

"In fact, it's worse than the conclusions it calculated." Green lit another cigarette, "If this continues, we may not even last ten days." There used to be a large underground granary here, but it was blown up when we attacked here, and the grain was contaminated with radiation and made it inedible, and now we can only survive on a small underground granary in Southeast Asia that we occupied a few days ago. As for ammunition, as you know, our weapons are all customized and distributed by the Alliance, and there is no extra ammunition at all except for the mission, but fortunately, there is an ordnance factory underground, which can produce some by itself, but it can't maintain the huge consumption on the battlefield at all. ”

"If you could quit smoking, maybe we wouldn't be as scarce as we are now." Lifus jokingly said, "It seems that our situation is very serious right now, and what worries me more than the shortage of supplies is that I believe you have also seen that this guy Achilles is really irritated by me." ”

"It's not like you, who in the army doesn't know that your Yaksha is the master who dares to play with your life, even if we all worked under Achilles, but it's a robot at best, there's no reason for you to be scared like this, right?" Green said. He had never seen Lifus so anxious as he was today, and he had the impression that Lifus would always seem to be calm, shrewd and capable, and belonged to the kind of big heart that Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change his color. "If you refuse, you will refuse, don't think too much, all of us Chosen One are on the same front, the brethren have long put life and death out of the way, since it has angered it, let us bear its wrath! Anyway, the most important failure is death. ”

"Death is not terrible, I am afraid that before I die, I know that I can live, and it is eternal life, if I know the truth, I don't know how many people will scold me in secret." Lifus said with a frown.

"But that's not the point, I just meant to say: Achilles was by me. It's angry, can you understand? It's horrible. That is, it has evolved again, it has emotions. Perhaps it itself has not yet realized this, it has completely replaced humans, a super robot that can think and imagine in the human way of thinking, and has an infinite lifespan, will be destined to win this human-machine struggle with great disparity. ”

"Humanity has been eliminated."

Lifus's voice was desolate and lonely, humanity was destined to be eliminated, he had foreseen it a long time ago, but it was only now that he had been able to recognize and be convinced, and his heart was still sad.
