Chapter 9 Humanism and the Anti-Intellectualism Wave
I opened my eyes and watched in horror that just about a hundred meters away from me, the city in the sky shook up and down like a pot lid and fell, because our speed slowed down, the city in the sky reached the ground before me, and then I saw that the city in the sky was deflected at an angle of exactly 60 degrees before landing, and the ground of the city once again swept over the dense robot army troops on the ground, like a broom sweeping through the snow, and in an instant the army on the ground and the dirt on the mountains were all swept away. Then, because the city in the sky itself is round like a roulette wheel, it did not collapse immediately after hitting the ground, but rolled along the shallow sea area like a tire, and then when most of the city rolled into the sea, it finally began to shake and no longer stabilize because of the buoyancy of the sea, and finally faced the sky, the bottom of the sea and smashed heavily towards the sea, this scene is like a scene where a coin that has fallen to the ground finally calms down after a burst of rolling.
Of course, the robot naval force directly below the city could not escape the doom of being crushed by the ground of the sky city, and all of them were shattered in an instant like mosquitoes. At the moment when the city fell, a monstrous wave of several hundred meters was instantly set off on the sea, and the huge waves swept in all directions, engulfing all the remnants of the surrounding naval forces and the remnants of the army units that were lucky enough to survive on land, and engulfed them instantly.
And I was quietly floating beside the emperor, wandering gracefully, staring blankly at the scene below.
Except for me and Difa, there is not a single surviving robot in the sky, on the earth, or on the sea. Not a single fish slipped through the net.
The sky and the earth, which were still full of lasers and cannonballs, turned into a dead silence in a short period of time.
The land was a mess, full of scorched earth and poured water, and there was no more life.
A few minutes later, I landed with Tefa on the Sky Castle that had fallen into the sea, and at this time the Sky City was already torn apart and devastated, half of the buildings in the city had collapsed and broken, and a large amount of seawater poured into the cracks in the city.
Tefa and I landed in turn and unfastened the parachutes on our bodies.
After landing, Difa did not hesitate at all, took out the watch communicator for the first time, and asked at the communicator:
"Hey, old fellow, now the robots of the sea, land and air have been wiped out by this king, if you are still alive, tell this king what the progress bar on the book of the world is."
I quietly walked to Tefa's side and listened to the report on the other end of the communicator:
"It's been going up since just now, and it's going to be very fast, and now it's 99.99999%, but I don't know why, it's stopped at this value......"
The voice of the president came from the other end of the communicator, and both me and Difa breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, I was also a little confused.
"Is it over?" I looked at Difa at a loss and asked. "Conquering and attacking the world successfully?"
His long golden hair fluttered slightly, and Difa's tall and slender body stood like that in the lonely sky city, and when the wind blew, his long hair was also scattered, looking so arrogant and beautiful.
"No, not yet." Difa's faint voice came, and my heart jerked, and at this time, Difa slowly turned around, and I saw a smile on his handsome and delicate face.
"There's still one robot left to be wiped out."
"Really...... Are there any living robots around here? Let's look for it again, just kill it, and it's all over, right? "I said with joy.
"No need to look for it." Tefa said softly, still with a beautiful smile on his face, "That robot is standing right in front of you." That's me. ”
Hearing Difa's words, my heart fell to the bottom.
"You, what are you talking about, Difa, we still have to attack the world together, you...... How can you be a robot, you, aren't you human? ”
Defa laughed, but there was endless desolation in his voice, and my heart fluttered when I heard his smile.
"Humans? Hehe, the human emperor died fifty years ago, and my essence is nothing more than a program that inherited his consciousness, if it weren't for the fact that I was implanted in the brain of the gololi in the electronic chip, how could I have been resurrected. Emperor Fa maintained an elegant and rampant smile on his face, "Little Luoluo, you are too naïve, how can an ordinary human be able to achieve such a reaction speed as this king?" This king has always been a robot, and if it continues to develop, sooner or later the idea of destroying low-level humans will arise again due to the self-evolution of the program, in fact, this king now has the urge to kill humans. If you don't kill this king, how can the world attack? ”
"How, how can this be...... How could this be......" My voice trembled, and I looked at Difa in disbelief, my eyes gradually moistened.
Emperor Fa smiled evilly, he walked towards me step by step, his body was so majestic and burly, his steps were so strong, I saw his gloomy expression, and I was so frightened that I retreated.
When Tefa walked in front of me, the evil smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a desolate one, and the eyes that looked at me changed back to tenderness.
Smoke rose in the distance, ruins and crumbling buildings all around, and the whole world became so quiet and empty.
At that moment, I realized that the emperor standing in front of me was so beautiful.
"Alright, little Rollo, do your last thing - kill me. This is the king's commandment. ”
"How could it be......" I looked at Emperor Fa stupidly, but I didn't know what to do. It all happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it to be like this. Do you want me to kill Emperor Fa? Because he's a robot? How so? How could I possibly kill him?
"I ...... How could I have done that...... I can't...... Can't do it! "I staggered backwards, and then I fell to the ground.
With a shallow smile, Tefa walked over to me, and he stood in front of me, grabbed my hand, and gently pulled me up from the ground.
"Do you remember when you first came to this world, you saved this king once, and this king owes you a life. After that, you dared to give up your beloved woman for the sake of this king, and you are already the brother of this king. In this world, only you, Luo Rong, are qualified to kill this king. ”
I shook my head desperately, tears streaming down my face:
"I'm not going to kill you...... I can't...... You've saved me so many times, and if it weren't for you, I'd have died a hundred, a thousand times...... 10,000 times! I can't do anything without you, I'm just a coward, a coward, I can't do anything...... I don't want to kill you...... Definitely don't ......"
Defa smiled, he reached out and patted my cheek, and said:
"You have to learn to be strong, I can't help you every time, and maybe I won't have a chance in the future. You have to be a hero admired by all people, and be a real man, my little Rollo. ”
As Difa spoke, I felt a chill in the palm of my hand, I looked down and saw that he had put a sharp piece of metal in the palm of my hand, and it was already clear to him that he wanted me to kill him with a piece of metal.
"Okay, what are you waiting for, this king will go to sleep soon, and when the other guy in my body wakes up, you may not have a chance." Tefa smiled, then straightened up like a soldier, puffed out his chest, and his blonde hair fluttered in the wind.
"Let's do it."
My hands were shaking, tears were blurring my eyes and sliding down my chin, and I held the metal piece in my hand and aimed it at Tefa's chest, but I couldn't do anything.
"But, but...... There are so many other robots in this world, what if they fight back......" I said, wiping tears from my eyes.
"It doesn't matter, those robots are not combative. Robots are ant-like, highly centralized societies, and they won't live long after the destruction of Sky City. The strategy of the Book of the World requires, in fact, that those robots with combat effectiveness be eliminated, and this king has already done this. Difa said with a smile.
"Even if they can get away with giving birth to a new city lord, it will be a long time later, and by then, little Luoluo, you have become a god."
I wiped my tears with my sleeve, but I couldn't finish them.
"But...... If you die, what will I do if I meet someone from another team in the future...... I'm so stupid that I can't win against them...... I'm scared......"
Defa smiled, he stretched out his hand, gouged out his Wittgenstein Eye from his eye socket, gently placed it on the ground, and said:
"I give you the Eye of Wittgenstein, it is the best talisman."
I lowered my head, tears fell from my eyes, and I fell to the ground, and I saw the eyeball whirling on the ground, and grabbed it with trembling hands, and the slippery eyes were held in my hands, which seemed to still carry the heat of Tefa.
Raising my head, I looked at Difa, but in my mind, I remembered his heroic posture when he fought these days, and remembered the scene when he saved me again and again, every time he made a move, he was so confident, decisive and decisive, it was all so natural, he was so perfect, so powerful, there was no second person like him in this world, if he died, no matter how many years in the future, there would never be a god-like man like him in this world......
He died, and there is no second person in this world who is so kind to me and so gentle to me......
The thought of this brings tears to my eyes.
"I don't want you to die!" I shouted, "I don't want it! Don't die! Then I threw the piece of metal in my hand into the sea. I jumped to my feet, then threw myself into Tefa's arms, grabbed him by the hem of his shirt, and cried aloud.
"If you want to die, then you should die together...... The destruction of the world would be the destruction of it...... I don't want to care about God's game anymore...... It's a big deal, we're going to die together......" I said, sobbing.
"My stupid little Rollo......"
I heard Tefa's soft sigh, but I didn't care so much, just hugged his waist and cried.
I don't care so much! I just don't want to die! If he dies, I don't have any point in living! He is my faith! God-like people! As long as I have him, I am not afraid of anything! And people can't lose their faith and live!
I could feel Tefa's strong hands hugging me, I could feel his chest rising and falling violently, and I could feel Tefa's emotions rising and falling violently.
But in the next second, I suddenly felt the body of the emperor in my arms stagger, and then he fell to the ground, I was startled, and hurriedly supported the emperor, but I saw that he had closed his eyes, and his expression was extremely peaceful.
"Emperor? Tefa! I called out to him in a panic, trying to wake him up, but he didn't move, my mind went blank, I didn't know what happened to Difa, why did he suddenly collapse, did he commit suicide, or was his time up?
Just when I was panicking, I suddenly heard the president's surprised voice coming from the communicator of the emperor:
"Wait a minute...... There seems to be something wrong with the progress bar, and the progress bar is starting to go up again, and it's over 100 percent! One hundred percent...... 110 percent ...... One hundred and twenty percent ...... One hundred and thirty percent! It's 160 percent, and it's still rising...... How is this possible?! ”
When I heard the voice of the president, I was also stunned, how could this be? Why does the progress bar of the book go up so much, more than 100 percent?
How is this possible?
Just when my mind was blank, I suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant girl's voice behind me:
"Hello, congratulations, Lorrong and Golori, not only did you spend only a quarter of your time, but you also overconquered the world. Hehe. ”
Hearing the sound behind me, I felt like I had been electrocuted, and my whole scalp was numb, and I turned around little by little, and then my whole body was petrified.
Miyoko was crouching behind me, her long black hair dragging on the ground and flowing in her style, and her iconic long black dress was lifted by the wind and fluttered in the air.
She smiled at me with her snow-white hands gently holding her cheeks.
"Beauty, beautiful night?" Looking at Miyoko squatting behind me, my whole brain was empty, my whole body was trembling, and even my breathing became rapid.
Miyoko squinted and smiled at me and said:
"Congratulations to both of you. Now that you've conquered this world, why don't you go to my café for the rest of the time? ”
"Uh, huh?" Before I could react, Miyoko gently raised one of her fingers and pointed towards the sky, I looked at the sky in the direction of Miyoko's finger, and then I saw the double tetrahedron that had been hanging upside down in the sky before, and one of the double tetrahedron quickly pressed down towards the ground, as if another sky city had fallen, I was startled and fell to the ground, but soon the tetrahedron enveloped me, and I had to close my eyes in horror, When I opened my eyes, I found myself in another place.
I looked around, and found that Golori was lying next to me, and Miyoko was still squatting behind me, and I was now in an elegant and quiet café, this café was very large, full of staggered vertical and horizontal passages and compartments, each cubicle was separated by a small wall of red bricks, and I saw that there were large and small picture frames hanging on each red wall, there were abstract style paintings, there were realistic style paintings, there were magic styles, there were anime styles, classical, three-dimensional, Landscape, exaggerated ...... There are really any types of them. And I saw that the landscape patterns in those portraits were all alive, and they were all moving.
Just when I was at a loss, the brother who was lying next to me suddenly woke up, he rubbed his eyes, and crawled up.
"Hmm...... Where is this...... Hey, Luo Rong is you...... Ah, Miyoko! Golori sat up with red eyes, and when he saw me, a smile appeared on his face, but when he saw Miyoko crouching behind me, his face turned blue with fright.
Miyoko smiled and beckoned to Golori, but Golori shrank to my side in a panic, and I gave him back the Wittgenstein Eye that I had been holding in my hand, Golori glanced at it, gritted her teeth and pressed her eyes back, and after the eyeballs turned twice in his eye sockets, they were soon usable like normal eyes.
"That...... We succeeded in attacking the world just now, and Miyoko brought the two of us here......" I also nervously grabbed Golori's hand and explained it to him.
"Really? That's great...... It's really good......" Hearing my words, Golori immediately grabbed my hand excitedly, but soon he frowned again, "Well, sure enough, I'm so stupid, I can't help anything, and in the end, he in my body succeeded......"
I shook my head and said:
"Actually, it's not the Emperor's strategy, when the Emperor shot down the Sky City, the progress bar showed only more than 99 percent, at that time the Emperor said that I had to kill him to attack the world, I said I couldn't do it, and he fainted, and then the president told me that the progress bar of the story kept rising, more than 100 percent, to 160 percent...... I thought it was strange, but before I had time to know the truth, Miyoko came over and sent the two of us here...... Well, that's pretty much it...... "I succinctly explained to Golori what happened to me and Difa after I left the Penthos mothership, and Golori listened to my explanation, and her forehead was covered with black lines.
"The progress bar is over 100 percent...... How could this be......" Golori muttered to herself a little strangely.
Miyoko, who was squatting on the side, spoke, she smiled, and then said in a clear voice:
"On this point, you two might as well look at the picture presented in the book."
I looked towards Miyoko with Golori, but found that Miyoko didn't know when there was an extra book in her hand, and the title of that book was actually "Machine World". I remember that the book was confiscated by the president and kept for strict keeping, but somehow it was returned to Miyoko's hands.
Miyoko lifted the book into the air, then let go of her hand, and the book was actually suspended there, and then the shape of the book began to change rapidly, like an inflated balloon, and soon enveloped me and Golori, the original café disappeared, and the scene around me became a spherical space, almost the size of a basketball court. The surface of the interior of this sphere space is a layer of glass like a film, and Miyoko, me and Golori are in the center of this sphere space, I look around in horror, but I find that there are countless large and small circular windows on the inner surface of this sphere space, which is like looking at a surveillance device, you can see all kinds of pictures, and even when my eyes look towards a window, I can still hear the sound coming from that window.
Oh my God, what the hell is this place?
"This is the Hilbert space after the book unfolds, and it is also the backstage of the world," Miyoko introduced softly, "Here, you can temporarily become a quasi-god, see everything that happened in the past, present, and future of the world in the book, and modify the direction of the world script." ”
I looked up at the scene on the inner membrane of the space that Miyoko called Hilbert Space, and in one of the largest windows, I saw a city, which was a pyramid-shaped building, and as I focused my attention on this building, the layers of the building were actually dialyzed layer by layer, and I could easily see the inside of the building, and at this time, I realized that this was a huge experimental square, the center of the square, Lined up like a Go chessboard, there are countless red egg-shaped capsules, each filled with water, and at the end of the capsule is a long tube extending out to a full-powered superconducting centrifuge in the center of the square, from which the scarlet liquid is constantly pouring into the red ovates in the square.
I found these eggs to be very much like a woman's. Driven by curiosity, my eyes focused on a red egg, and the image of the red egg immediately grew larger, and soon I could see the image in this sparkling jade work of art, and then I was amazed because in the midst of this egg, a curled up, blurred fetus was floating in it.
"W-What are these, it's terrible." Looking at the scene on the membrane, Golori cried out in horror.
"Well, just look at the script of the Book of Worlds." Miyoko stepped forward leisurely and handed me the book of the world in her hand, and I shuddered to the book of the world that Miyoko handed me, and then turned to the latest page, only to find that there was a long list of words there:
In 3129, due to the destruction of all lithium resources at the bottom of the sea under the proposal of Cololi Julius Sisar, the mechanical civilization saw that the paper of Cololi Julius Sisara knew this fact and calculated that the mechanical civilization could never develop long-term controllable nuclear fusion, nor could it embark on the doomed end of the stage of space civilization, coupled with the depletion of energy on the earth and the rapid reduction of renewable resources, the mechanical civilization gave up the metal body in order to reduce consumption and maintain the length of civilization. Instead, he created a human body and became a new human being, ending the long-running war with human civilization, reaching a reconciliation, and working together to burn the last glorious torch of earth civilization in the universe.
"This is ......" I stared blankly at the words on the book's script, my mouth wide open in disbelief.
"This is the ending of the script you created." Miyoko said in an ethereal voice, "Because of Golori's paper, the president led to an order to destroy all lithium resources and mines on the seabed, and after the AIs knew the news, they knew that their civilization would never be able to reach the stage of space civilization, so in order to ensure the length of survival on the earth, they gave up the metal body with high energy consumption and high pollution and is not conducive to the development of renewable energy, and became a human flesh form, so that the robot will become a human again, so your strategy will exceed 100%, Reach one hundred and sixty percent or more. If you follow the strategy of the emperor, it will only be 100% at most in the end. So, congratulations to both of you. ”
Listening to Perfect Nighto's explanation of the book's script, I turned my face to look at Golori in shock, and I noticed that his face was the same shocked.
"W-so...... It turned out that it was Golori who raided the world? I looked at Golori in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Hearing my words, Gololi suddenly blushed, didn't dare to look me in the eyes, and said nervously:
"I—I didn't expect that, I was just trying......"
I asked excitedly:
"You...... What exactly is written in that paper, that you can let robots destroy their own civilization and become humans? ”
Golori looked at me embarrassedly and said:
"Actually, I also discovered it by accident, and I can find this thanks to Luo Rong......"
"Thanks to me?" I asked in disbelief.
"Uh-huh. Because without you, I wouldn't have known Xueluo, and I wouldn't have learned about the death of her parents from Xueluo. Xueluo's parents were killed by robots while mining lithium...... Then I was inspired to investigate the locations where robots used to attack humans, and then I found that in the past few hundred years, robots have attacked human bases regularly, and their attack locations are all near the lithium mines on the seabed, so I thought that the robots actually attacked the human bases in order to destroy humans at all, they were to seize the human lithium mines, and by the way, they used humans as the vanguard of their search for lithium mines...... Otherwise, with the military capabilities of robots, they would have been able to wipe out humans a long time ago, and they would not have spent three hundred years with humans at all...... The reason why they attack humans every once in a while is to plunder the lithium mines mined by humans...... I used to specialize in the study of seabed mineral deposits, and after I got your approval to enter the military's database to investigate the information on seabed mineral deposits, I was even more sure of this...... I realized that robots have never taken humans into account, they are just taking advantage of the fact that humans......"
I looked at Golori in confusion and couldn't help asking:
"But is this lithium mine really that important?"
Golori nodded earnestly, looked me in the eye and said:
"Well, very important...... AI civilizations consume thousands of times more energy and resources than human civilizations, and when they run out of fossil energy, they have to use bioenergy or more advanced controlled nuclear fusion energy...... However, according to my research on the future of energy, controlled nuclear fusion is the only way to permanently solve the AI energy crisis, and the only way out of controlled nuclear fusion is ' Deuterium-tritium' reaction, however, the tritium element on the earth is extremely scarce, only relying on neutron bombardment of lithium to produce tritium participating in the fusion reaction, and the reserves of lithium resources on the earth are very limited, in the 21st century, the detection shows that there are only more than 200 billion tons on the earth, compared with the theoretical 40 trillion tons of tritium resources at that time, it is simply a drop in the bucket, and later with the development of AI civilization, these resources are even less...... So, I guess that maybe until the day when all the resources on Earth are exhausted, the AIs will not be able to take the road of space civilization and will be trapped and die on Earth. So I wrote that paper, and I also mentioned another biological analysis, about that human beings are the only highly intelligent civilization on earth that is suitable for a low-energy existence......"
I said dumbfoundedly:
"Humanity is the only highly intelligent civilization on earth that is suitable for low-energy consumption?"
Golori nodded and said:
"Remember, Rorong, I like to read Shakespeare's works, and that's because I agree with him that human beings are the primates of all things, the most suitable highly intelligent life on earth...... I was talking to a biology professor who had passed away about how to modify the human body if we were to be able to fly naturally in the natural world without relying on machines. Together with the professor, I modified the human model, we reduced the proportions of the internal organs of the human body to make the human bones slimmer and hollow to reduce weight, we also made the hands grow fan-shaped feathers to fan the air, we also stretched the human vertebrae and designed them to be streamlined to adapt to the flow of air during flight, and in addition, in order for humans to keep warm in the air, the surface of the human body also needed to have fluffy objects...... Eventually, my professor and I discovered that no matter how much we modified the mannequin to allow humans to fly, the shape of a bird was the only form suitable for existence on Earth. After that, Meron suddenly said to me, perhaps, human beings are also the only intelligent creatures suitable for survival on the earth, even if it is AI, although it can achieve an advantage in survival in a short time, but in the end it is destined to be defeated and eliminated by the laws of nature......" Golori told tirelessly, her eyes were full of nostalgia, as if it was a long time ago for him.
"So, you mean...... Humans are like birds, there is some reason why they can't be replaced by AI? ”
"Yes." Gololi nodded, "Take human beings as an example, the layout of human facial features is the most scientific, human beings only have two eyes, because three eyes need more optic nerves, then more resources, human eyes are axial symmetrical, because only in this way can stereoscopic vision be formed, human ears have fan-shaped ears, this is to collect sound." The reason why humans only have four limbs is because more limbs take up more cranial nerves, which leads to more nutrient consumption in the brain. The reason why the human brain is now in size is because it is limited by the size of the female pelvis, the human brain has reached the limit of natural intelligence, and if the human intelligence wants to improve a little, the head must be enlarged, but that will lead to dystocia in the newborn, if the human female pelvis is larger, she will not be able to walk, but if the human woman changes to crawling, she will not be able to use tools, and the survivability will decrease...... Everything in nature is reasonable, and human beings are the outstanding works of nature after sifting through countless designs over eons of time. If the earth's resources are depleted, and the machine civilization cannot go to the stage of space civilization, then this kind of civilization that consumes a lot of energy and a lot of metal resources cannot last long, and will eventually be eliminated by humans, robots are very rational, their thinking is the most economical thinking, in order to prolong life, they will not hesitate to transform their civilization in the first time, even if it becomes back to human civilization, it is not a shame for them......"
After listening to Gololi's words, I felt that my heart was very cleansed and impacted, I never thought that in the end, it was not the superb tactics and invincible combat effectiveness of Difa that defeated the mechanical civilization, but Gololi's dedication to human nature.
Golori's hand accidentally slipped to the ground, the pages in the watch jumped open, Shakespeare's portfolio was listed in a virtual light curtain, and Shakespeare's words that had traveled through hundreds of years of time and space jumped out and floated in the air:
"What a marvelous masterpiece a man is! What noble reason! What a great power! What a beautiful meter! What a gentle move! How much like an angel in deeds! How a god in wisdom! The essence of the universe! The primate of all things! ”
