Chapter 325: Logic and Ethics
"We really can't think of a better way to control the primitive desires of human beings than now, only through acquired modification, or control, otherwise, it is too risky for a person who grows naturally to determine his own core values," Joseph said. ”
David said, "So Muma and Zoya didn't come back with me, you are either relieved, or you will be more worried that they will be bad for you, because the two of them are uncontrollable now, so I don't know what bad things will be done to you in the future, is that right?" ”
"Mr. David, I hope you can accept that they may be harming the interests of all humanity and not of a small group of us," Mike said. ”
David said, "I have a strong belief that the two of them are kind. ”
Joseph said, "But what about later, and you haven't searched the souls of the two of them, how can you be so sure that they have no ill will towards humans." After all, how we met Muma, you should also remember. ”
"Hey!" David sighed and said, "How can we not remember that in the basement at our feet right now, we cut open all parts of Muma's lover like a rabbit. ”
Joseph said: "So, if it were you, your lover was killed by aliens, and then dissected, and then his body was made into a specimen, and then you yourself were imprisoned, and your group was slaughtered, this is the revenge of extermination, extermination, would you have good intentions towards those murderers?" ”
David said, "I understand your thoughts, so it seems that I may have been right in deciding not to let Mulma come back." However, I still think that the murderer of the same Muma clan is Lulu, not us. Muma can also understand the modified state of our souls. Therefore, the hatred of destroying the door and destroying the door, Mulma will not be counted on our heads. ”
Joseph said, "But you are also involved in the dissection of Kuma!" ”
David: "..."
Steve, who was in the newly repaired underground fortifications on the outskirts of Base 2, said: "Hey, it's all because we were ignorant before, and we humans can't shirk this responsibility. All grievances are left to time. Mr. David's return must be due to his affection for the human community, and we will love each other as a family in the future, and fight together for the future of mankind. If one day, Muma or other foreign races do anything dangerous to human beings, I believe that with Mr. David's character, he will not sit idly by. ”
David said, "Yes, there are too many things that can only be left to time. To change the subject, it is said that your Sims game can shorten the time for the development of human society, is that true? Based on what Zoya overheard from you, I already have a rough idea of how you plan to play the game. ”
Joseph said, "Yes, do you think that you can ethically accept this from us?" ”
David thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's totally acceptable. Time is just a concept for us. 10,000 people, 10 million people, 10 million people, 100 million people, it may be a long time for us, but for the entire universe, it is not even a moment, and you use a logical way to speed up this time, I think, first, it does not violate human morality, and second, it does not violate the natural laws of the universe, so I completely agree with your approach. ”
Mike said: "We have also discussed before, that is, although we can speed up the reproduction of human beings, but how to increase the life expectancy of human beings is a bottleneck, we, it should be said that Lulu and Martin, although they have analyzed the mystery of controlling the growth rate of cells from the genes of Wooenki, but at present, they still can't crack the code of longevity from Wooenki." ”
"That's one of the purposes of my return," David said. ”
Joseph said: "Great, with Mr. David taking the lead, I believe that this technical conjecture will be realized sooner or later." ”
Steve said: "By the way, Mr. David, I am now on the front line of encircling Base 2, as for how to subdue Base 2, we plan to encircle first and not fight, Mr. David, what is your opinion on this?" ”
Joseph said: "I'm sorry, Brother David, I would like to add that we are planning to besiege Base 2 for a long time. Of course, out of humanitarianism, we still have to give them the necessary living materials, including food, water, clothing and other materials. It will not be too late to wait until we have the ability and technology to safely subdue them, and then modify all their souls. ”
David said, "Surround but not fight... So how long are you willing to wait for this in your own hearts? ”
Joseph said: "I haven't thought about this carefully, my psychological expectation is that five to ten years is acceptable. ”
David said, "How many people are there at Base 2? ”
"Originally staffed at 5,625 people, all 32 people in the Security Checkpoint at Base 2 committed suicide due to our poor decision-making," Joseph said. ”
David said, "What about the farms, pastures, mines and exploration teams that Base 2 belongs to? How many people are there? ”
Joseph said: "The people on the farm and ranch have long since withdrawn to Base 2, and we have detected 568 people around Base 2 through reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance drones these days, and we are in charge of the mines at Base 2, and we dare not touch them because of the precedent of the security checkpoint at Base 2." In addition, eight groups of exploration teams with a total of 256 people were also detected, and they were divided into exploration sites hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the No. 2 base. Of course, we still don't dare to touch them. ”
"We've sent planes to drop some supplies to these people, and even dropped fixed building materials to eight exploration teams that live in poorer conditions than mines, replacing their tents or mobile board houses and other rudimentary accommodations, and they didn't call back to thank them or even tell us that they had received them, which made them feel very unfriendly and rude," Steve said. Hum! ”
David said: "It's good that these people are closely watched, and as for the principle of encircling and not attacking the No. 2 base, I support it." I have one concern, though. ”
Joseph said, "Brother David, you say. ”
David said: "The people in Base No. 2 are all hiding deep underground? ”
