292: The total rout of the ivory tower
Artificial fighters, exoskeleton armor mass production program, space program.
As one project after another was revealed, the eyes of the leaders of the countries gradually became fanatical.
Especially exoskeletons and artificial fighters.
If an artificial warrior can transform a person who has not undergone any training into a lv50 warrior.
If combined with the exoskeleton, then there is no problem with the combat power matching LV60.
When Xiao Urinal finished speaking, not only the three old men in the mountains, but even Zhao Aotian next to him changed slightly.
Even the strongest men of each country who served as the guardians of the leaders of the countries did not look so good.
If the debate in Xiao's urinal just now squeezed through the living space of magic.
So now, the combination of artificial warriors and exoskeletons, as well as space programs, etc., is beginning to squeeze the living space of physics departments such as paladin warriors.
Moreover, there are ethical issues involved in such a thing as artificial warriors.
Transforming a person into a weapon is unacceptable in any way in the three views of normal people.
But if it can really prove its value, then the state has a way to solve such a thing as ethics.
For example, starting with medical treatment, starting with the replacement of the patient's organs, and gradually increasing people's acceptance of this kind of human body modification.
Then set up a clever name, slowly liberalize relevant policies in other areas, and finally ...... Dangdang! The era of cyberpunk has arrived.
Xiao urinal did not make a detour, and directly quoted the price.
The space program needs 6.6 billion gold coins, artificial fighters 12 billion, and exoskeletons 4.5 billion, for a total of 23.1 billion.
80% of the bidding amount is released, and countries can freely bid and occupy the corresponding shares according to the amount of sponsorship.
Invest more, get more, while supplies last.
Sure enough, other countries showed great interest.
The lord of the Northland, Ma Saji, even directly asked the financial officer next to him how much money he could transfer in his treasury now, and said on the spot that he would invest 3 billion, and he also wanted to increase the amount at the cost of foreign trade tax exemption.
The herd effect is something that works everywhere.
With Masaki at the helm, the leaders of the countries began to count the reserves in the treasury.
The country of Kota is world-renowned for its science and technology.
In particular, the Eastern Sichuan Warcraft Defense Battle and the Eagle Valley Warcraft Defense Battle.
Magic mines and titan cannons were two weapons that shone in these two wars.
At the scene, except for Robert JR, the leader of Eagle Valley, the three old men in the mountains, and Situ Zhou, the leaders of the other 13 countries listened to Xiao's plan, and they were as fanatical as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
This kid...
Standing behind Situ Zhou, Zheng Gan's face had become extremely ugly at this moment.
Others don't know, but think about it.
When the Eastern Sichuan Monster invaded, why did the Ota Kingdom resist the pressure of Eagle Valley and send the Titan Cannon to the Eastern Sichuan River, and also thoughtfully send the technicians over to help bury the magic guide mines on the battle line?
It is not at all because of the friendship between Kota and Sichuandong.
It is to rely on these events to show the world the power and reliability of science, the purpose of which is ......
Thinking of this, Zheng Qian seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but gasp.
Did this kid have been planning for today's scientific conference from the very beginning?!
Think about it carefully, from the Warcraft invasion war to the present, all the interventions and measures of the Kota country.
The biggest beneficiary of all the incidents related to Kota is Kota country.
23.1 billion, 80% of the equity, that is, 18.5 billion.
But in just five minutes, under the heated discussion of the leaders of many countries, the investment intention is about to exceed 30 billion.
30 billion gold coins, that is a full 300,000 tons of gold.
This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money in the number of days.
Zheng Qian's mood is almost dripping with water at the moment.
Shaw urinal.
This kid looks like a heartless SP virtue, but in fact he is very bad.
So far, everything has been expected by him, and almost all the leaders of the sixteen countries have been played by him.
The Scientific Symposium is like crazy at the moment.
The leaders of various countries are no longer so interested in the project of the Kota country.
That's just fanaticism.
Except for the Tianshan Kingdom, all other countries were in a mess.
Haisaiwan even forced Faris to reduce the amount of bidding, and the frightened Faris said on the spot that he would surrender to Haisai Bay.
And yet at this moment.
Situ Zhou's words instantly made the atmosphere take a turn for the worse.
"There will be no investment in any project in Kota today."
As soon as these words came out, the boiling conference room was instantly silent.
Everyone cast puzzled glances at Situ Zhou.
I saw Situ Zhou clasping his hands on his chest, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.
Xiao Urinchi's face became a little embarrassed: "Si... Brother Situ, you... What did you just say? ”
"I said, Chuandong will not invest in any of your projects."
"Huh?"
How proud Xiao Urinal's face was just now, how ugly it was at the moment.
"Why?" He wanted to question loudly, but he subconsciously lowered his voice, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.
Although Chuandong has a bad reputation, everyone is on guard against Chuandong.
But it also proves that Chuandong now has the status and weight of the international community.
At this time, Situ Zhou said that I don't sponsor, which is enough to change the direction of the whole wind.
Throwing a razor-like gaze at Xiao's urinal, Situ Zhou coldly threw out a fatal question: "If the artificial warrior can succeed, then who should be transformed into an artificial warrior?" ,”
Xiao Urinchi's facial features relaxed, and he smiled: "Of course it's a soldier." ”
Situ Zhou asked lightly: "Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have family, friends and lovers, what will happen to their families if they transform soldiers into artificial warriors?" ”
"Isn't it natural for a soldier to be loyal to his country above all else, and to dedicate himself to it?" Shaw's urinal voice rose by three points.
However, Situ Zhou still has that lukewarm attitude.
He said coldly: "Yes, soldiers should be loyal to the country and dedicate themselves to the country, but the country also has the obligation to be responsible for the soldiers, otherwise why should you ask others to dedicate to you?"
Artificial warriors are tantamount to depriving people of their dignity as human beings and transforming them into mere weapons.
It seems that it can increase the national strength in a short period of time, but in fact, this plan is the bane of the country's demise.
Not to mention the transformation of the whole country into artificial warriors, the social problems caused by this will shake the country's foundation. ”
"I didn't say that artificial warriors would lose their minds."
"Artificial warriors are born to fight, such a strong combat power, if you go berserk, it is tantamount to self-destruction, will you not consider the means of control when you develop it?
There are only two means of control I can think of, extinguishing consciousness, or exerting pain to forcibly control, Professor Xiao, am I wrong? ”
Situ Zhou's words completely broke the part that Xiao Urinal concealed and didn't say.
That's right, artificial warriors are indeed powerful, but because they are powerful, they are difficult to control.
A weapon that cannot be controlled, no matter how strong, is not a qualified weapon.
It is naturally impossible to consider retiring this person after working hard to transform a person.
After all, people with pure thoughts like Zhao Aotian are a minority, and most of the soldiers are just mortals in the flesh after all, and they all have seven emotions and six desires.
Therefore, if you want to control the artificial warriors, the means of control are indispensable.
It's a very simple set of logic.
Regardless of whether Xiao Urinal has this idea or not, once this plan is implemented, it will inevitably come to this point.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but converge on Xiao Urin.
Fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from Xiao's urinal forehead.
For a while, he was speechless, trembling like chaff, and his eyes stared at Situ Zhou in astonishment.
Situ Zhou let out a long sigh and said quietly, "Also, you tried your best to belittle magic just now, and now you are trying to deny the usefulness of physics warriors.
Your logic seems to be unassailable, but what this king wants to say here is:
There is no such thing as magic or science! The same goes for the physics department! ”
As soon as these words came out, the three old men in the mountains who were languishing next to him couldn't help but raise their heads.
The three pairs of eyes that were sarcastically dulled by Xiao Urinal faintly regained their former brilliance.
Situ Zhou glanced at them and continued: "Maybe you are a scientist, and this king is just an illiterate person in your eyes.
However, magic is the crystallization of the wisdom of the humans of this world, passed down from generation to generation.
Countless magicians have worked hard to further their lives and have performed countless miracles.
Which is better or worse is a matter of comparison, not through debate and suppression of the other side.
Get results! And not rhetoric!
This is a principle that every magician takes to heart.
It is true that your science and technology have led to the development of the whole world, but this king has not yet seen the decisive evidence that science can completely replace magic.
Do you have one? Conclusive evidence that science can replace magic. ”
When Situ Zhou said this, Xiao Urinal was completely anxious.
He exclaimed, "So I'm here to give you these plans!" ”
"Aren't all your plans just theories?" Situ Zhou shot back angrily in a higher-pitched voice.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Urinal suddenly took a step back.
Situ Zhou continued: "30 billion huge money, if it is given to the ivory tower, can't the ivory tower create rich results?
Excuse me, can you promise that your plan will be 100% successful after receiving this resource? ”
"It's... I..."Xiao Urinal turned pale, he hesitated for a while, and said: "With this money, the success rate is very high!" Even if you don't succeed, you can gain a lot of experience. ”
"Can't an ivory tower do that?"
"I ......"
Beside him, when the Great Elder heard this, he also spoke: "If I can have this funding, my Ivory Tower can develop forbidden spell magic that is not inferior to the Titan Cannon."
In the last hundred years, the amount of money given to us by various countries has been shrinking, and it is very difficult for us to maintain the cultivation of new generations, and we are unable to conduct in-depth research on magic.
Otherwise... Our results will definitely not be lost to the country of Kota. ”
"Well, you hear, the ivory tower is also very confident." As he spoke, Situ Zhou's upper and lower eyelids were slightly closer.
The knife-sharp eyes made Xiao Urinal dare not look directly for a while.
After a long time, Situ Zhou spoke: "To sum up, Professor Xiao, my plan cannot be approved by Chuandong, and I will not fund it.
Of course, it's not a total denial, the space program, this king is very interested.
If you really think that science is superior to magic, start with the space program.
Prove the usefulness of science with results.
If it was only a space program, Chuandong would still be willing to fund 3.5 billion gold coins. ”
As he spoke, Situ Zhou turned his head and looked at the three elders of the ivory tower gently: "Of course, if you really want to fund the space program of the Ivory Tower, this country will also provide the same amount of funds to the Ivory Tower for competition.
Fair competition, friendly competition, instead of feeling superior, to suppress the opponent without understanding.
That's the real way to sustainability, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Zheng Gan behind him was already eager to applaud Situ Zhou at this moment.
Your Majesty, old man, absolutely.
Last night, after the incident, Situ Zhou secretly summoned Zheng Qian and proposed a plan.
This plan was so unrealistic that at first Zheng Qian laughed at him for his whimsy.
And now, after Zheng Qian witnessed all this, he couldn't help but sincerely admire Situ Zhou from the bottom of his heart.
That plan was called: The Great World Unification Project.
