In the days that followed, the Imperial Fist Leader, the Marshal of the Forbidden Army, and the Mechanic Casting General had met with Sivir privately.

They argue for the impossibility of this plan from all sides, from all angles. Wanted to get Sivir to give up this unrealistic idea.

Sivir said: What you said is very reasonable, but now hurry up and mobilize resources for me and collect manpower.

These imperial elites are not capable of building such a great project, and Sivir knows it all too well. He never intended to rely on them to build an ideal city.

The construction of the Ideal City utilizes a climate control system, and the ability to alter the planet's climate laws to suppress catastrophic weather phenomena can make housing buildings easier to maintain and open up new habitable areas.

A lot of anti-gravity engineering has also been used, and with the help of directional gravity technology, buildings on the planet's surface can reach unprecedented heights without worrying about structural collapse. The Tower of Babel is just around the corner! 、

Today's empire has not yet mastered these technologies, so it is the construction robots and drones brought by Icarus that are actually carrying out the construction plan.

Now that Icarus has arrived in Terra, the project can finally begin in earnest.

The Ideal City Project, the implementation of which will turn Terra into an urban planet. A planet is a city.

Terra will be divided into five divisions, which are:

Living in Ideal Cities, these special mega urban areas utilize integrated vertical buildings to maximize population density on the surface area.

Casting the Ideal City, this giant city is zoned for military purposes, and the roar of the furnace and the clanging of the foundry constantly echo inside.

The Industrial Ideal City, this districted class street is lined with artisan workshops and civilian factories.

The City of Administrative Ideals, where hordes of administrative clerks and bureaucrats are willing to work to meet the new demands of an expanding bureaucracy.

The ideal city of the Church, these spires are the true and empirical evidence of our faith and reverence, and the spiritual well-being of our entire empire.

Before the plan could be implemented, Sivir had once again summoned the Imperial Fist, the Praetorian Army, and the Mechonists.

"Ideal City... Balabala...."

In order to make everyone understand the importance of this plan, Sivir explained to them in detail how much benefit the construction of the Ideal City would have to the empire.

"Now, does anyone still have any questions about building an ideal city?"

Bob Wesley, the leader of the Imperial Fist Battle, said to Siwell:

"Sivir, you said that the project is going to be ten years. IMHO, this is impossible. Such a project involving the entire planet would be completed quickly even if it took a hundred years. ”

"You don't have to worry about that, you're not the main force in the build."

Sivir clapped his hands, and Icarus walked through the door into the conference room.

"Icarus will lead a large number of construction robots and drones to carry out a lot of construction work. Your main task is to transport minerals and alloys for them, arrange the relocation of the people of Terra, convince the rigid nobles, solve all the difficulties that hinder the Ideal City project, and ensure the smooth implementation of the Ideal City project. ”

"I'm Icarus, a light industrial mech."

"Anyone else has questions?"

"Lord Siwell," said Casting General Douglas Cook, "unfortunately our current technology does not support your vision, and we do not have the technological strength to build such a city. Moreover, is the existence of this Icarus a violation of some prohibitions of the Empire? ”

"You don't need to worry about construction and technology, and as for Icarus, my answer is no."

"Still have questions?"

“......”

"The meeting was adjourned without further doubts. Tomorrow the plan officially begins. ”

Sivir looked at the silent crowd, left the conference room with a word.

......

Does Icarus' existence violate the Crimson Protocol?

Here we must first understand that the AI prohibited by the Crimson Protocol is not Artificial Intelligence, but Abominable Intelligence.

Abomination intelligence must be artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence is not necessarily abomination intelligence.

The Alpha Dog in the 3K era is artificial intelligence, and the Iron Man in the Golden Age is also artificial intelligence. Iron Man is an abomination of intelligence, but is Alpha Dog an abomination of intelligence? Apparently not.

So how do our clever Imperial soldiers quickly discern if a robot is an abomination of intelligence?

The answer is to ask him, just ask them out loud and clear if they will betray and kill you.

Any reaction other than sluggish and incomprehensible chaos is to be responded with hostility and dismantled by this Imperial robot.

However, this method can be misunderstood with some of the Mechanic creations, and there are rare and unbelievable advanced abomination intelligences that can be avoided being discovered in this way.

That's why the Empire designed a Phase 2 test: Does he have the Imperial Double-headed Eagle emblem on him?

The mark of the double-headed eagle is a sacred symbol, and for good reason. The Emperor's Seal may only be worn by the pure and just. You can rest assured that there are no traitors, whether it's mechanical or something else.

With the double-headed eagle emblem, it is an automaton that is useful for the Empire!

Without the double-headed eagle sign is an evil abomination intelligence!

This is how the Empire discerns the intelligence of abomination.

But on a technical level, what is the fundamental difference between AI and abomination intelligence? To what extent does artificial intelligence hate intelligence? It is not clear, the Reich does not have a clear provision for this.

Is it able to learn on its own? Self-evolution? Self-decision-making? Or do you have feelings? Able to think like a human? Or is it the ability to create other abomination intelligences? The Empire doesn't have an accurate standard.

So when it came to research, the empire opted for a one-size-fits-all policy that was simple and trouble-free. I'm not allowed to study artificial intelligence.

But we found that there are still many intelligent robots under the command of the empire, why is this?

Because if you are powerful, then you secretly step on the red line to tempt and tempt, and the empire will not care about you, or it can't control you.

For example, Perturabo, the genetic prototype who chose the Iron Ring as the guard, the Iron Wing who was once a dark angel, and the Mechanic Sect, who has been frantically testing on the edge.

In ancient times, there was Schrödinger's cat, and now there is the intelligent control corps of the mechanical sect.

Until you open the outer armor of the Intelligent Control Corps, which the Mechanics claim to be controlled by "Wet Pieces", you never know if it's packed with electronic components or if it actually has a flesh-red brain plugged in wires.

So, now let's take a look, does Icarus' existence violate the Crimson Protocol?

Undoubtedly, no.

Why?

Because Lord Sivir, the regent of our supreme empire, says he doesn't!

PS: I heard that Lord Sivir asked Icarus to weld an Imperial Double-headed Eagle logo on the door of his head.
