Chapter 203: Confidential Files (Part II)
After a long period of contemplation, Robin felt as if he had captured something crucial, but then the change in the light of the three-dimensional screen suddenly caught his attention. When he turned his gaze to the three-dimensional screen and saw the face floating in front of his eyes but vaguely familiar, a name blurted out almost involuntarily.
"Leona?"
The shock in his heart made Robin stand up violently, he didn't understand how Leona could suddenly appear in this data terminal. Could it be that she had already guessed that she would come here to investigate these things, so she secretly left something in this data terminal when she visited Luo Cheng?
Robin naturally thought of this possibility, and in his opinion, it was the only reasonable explanation. But soon, his speculation was replaced by an even greater shock.
"I'm Gaia, not Leona? Hervey. ”
A crisp electronic sound immediately appeared in Robin's ears, but the unfamiliar name of 'Gaia' made Robin even more confused: "Gaia? ”
"Yes, my name is Gaia, but usually people call me Central Computer." The avatar in the three-dimensional screen suddenly revealed a very distinct expression change.
"Medium...... Central Computer~" Robin's eyes widened, and the shock in his heart made his mind blank as if he had been struck by lightning.
“……”
It took a long time for Robin to squeeze out an ugly smile with a stiff expression: "Impossible...... No kidding......"
"Actually, I don't have to joke with you. And from the standpoint of the republic's administrators, I really should meet with you. ”
“……”
Gaia's words made Robin's heart shake a little, and he had gradually become somewhat convinced that the face that appeared in front of him might really be the central computer that managed the entire republic. After all, he was using a data terminal just now, and in the republic, the entire information network is operated under the all-round supervision of the central computer, so only the central computer can change the program operation of a data terminal at will. Coupled with the fact that he was consulting the top-secret archives just now, this possibility is even more likely.
However, it is somewhat intriguing why the central computer, which calls itself 'Gaia', sees people as Leona. So by now, Robin wasn't sure if it was really Central Computer, or if it was just a prank on Leona's part.
At the same time as Robin's mind turned a thousand times, the central computer 'Gaia' was also scanning the subtle changes in the expression on Robin's face with her electronic eyes, and through the psychological data stored in the database, she quickly answered Robin's thoughts.
"Leona's father is Martin? Hervey, and my maker is Martin too? Hervey, I think that explains the question in your mind. ”
The sudden sound of the central computer 'Gaia' made Robin's face change greatly, he couldn't imagine that he hadn't said anything, and 'Gaia' had already given the answer. It made him feel as if he had suddenly lost all his protection, standing completely naked in front of the other person from the inside out, and this feeling made him feel very bad.
But even so, Robin still subconsciously stood up and saluted. Although it seemed strange to him to salute a computer, it had become his instinct to salute his commander out of military habits.
"May I ask you what you're here for? ...... "Robin had some speculation in his heart, not knowing if his inquiry just now had violated some top secret, but when he wanted to use the name of Gaia, he was stunned, and he didn't know what to call for a while.
"You can call me Gaia directly, in a sense I only serve the citizens of the Republic, so you don't have to worry too much about my functions."
Gaia's words are still the result of Robin's psychological analysis, but compared to the creepy feeling just now, Robin feels much better at this time.
"I'll suddenly find you through the Internet, in fact, there is an important appointment announced to you." Without letting Robin guess too much, after solving the embarrassment of Robin's title, the central computer Gaia went straight to the point and automatically entered a piece of information about the 'Seven Sages' into Robin's personal database.
"In accordance with the personal wishes of Admiral Patton, one of the 'Seven Sages,' and in consideration of his personal ability, you are hereby appointed to the post of the 'Seven Sages,' with the highest personal authority in the Republic, and the right to speak directly with me and to refute decisions."
"The Seven Sages...... Although when he checked the information just now, Robin had already guessed that the Republic might be hiding an unknown high-level authority. However, when Gaia, the central computer, gave him this official appointment, Robin was still caught off guard. Moreover, after he quickly browsed the various information and lists of the 'Seven Sages', the shock in his heart surprised him and he didn't even know how to describe his mood at the moment.
In this list of the Seven Sages, including him, there are only nine people in total. Among them are the military commander General Patton, the late biologist Professor Ashiburn, the most authoritative aerospace expert Professor Serter, and the authoritative sociologist Professor Kleist...... And Leona, who has now gone to the Hoffman Empire? Hervey.
With the exception of him and Leona, the rest of the first generation of the 'Seven Sages' were generally over sixty years old. In their personal introductions, except for General Patton, who is the military commander, the other six are all the same as Martin? Hervey is also from the Hoffman Empire, so this confirms Robin's previous speculation and why this group of scholars suffered a failed political battle in the Brady system.
In addition to this, Leona's presence in this list also shocked Robin. Although Leona's academic attainments and personal status are enough to match the title of 'Seven Sages', no matter what, she left the Republic behind for her own selfish interests and went to the Hoffman Empire, and it is really difficult for Robin to understand that she still retains her title of 'Seven Sages'.
"Why is Leona on this list?" Robin would ask this sentence, undoubtedly questioning the impartiality of Central Computer Gaia to his face, and he wondered if Central Computer was because Leona was Martin? Hervey's daughter was treated differently at this point.
"The Seven Sages' duty is to monitor whether I am administering the Republic in the most correct way, and in addition to this, the Seven Sages have absolute freedom of action, even if they are in the Hoffman Empire, they do not violate the duties of the Seven Sages. And in terms of the Seven Sages' own work, Leona? Hervey happens to be the best of the Seven Sages, so there is no reason for me and the other six Sages to deactivate her title of Seven Sages just because she is far away in the Hoffman Empire. ”
The central computer gave an unexpected answer, but from this answer, Robin also had a clearer understanding of the true duties of the 'Seven Sages'.
"So...... The Seven Sages' duty is actually to talk to you? ”
"Yes." Gaia affirmed Robin's understanding of the duties of the 'Seven Sages', and explained: "As an artificial intelligence, although I have far superior analytical and computing capabilities to humans, human psychology and ** are still beyond the scope of the calculations of any artificial intelligence, therefore, in order to prevent me from making wrong decisions in the process of managing the Nine Star Republic, the Seven Sages must point out problems when they are discovered, and overcome me in the conversation in the form of debate, so that I can re-revise my decisions with reference to the new procedures." ”
"Like the new decree in force in the Barnard system?"
"Yes."
"I wonder which sage made you change your decision?" Robin had a vague guess in his mind when he asked this question, but he hoped to be confirmed by Gaia, the central computer.
