Chapter 65: Modern Humanism
Five hours after the rebellion, the Kyoto Underground City Provisional Army expanded to 300,000 and the nuclear power plant was safely shut down, ending the rebellion in the underground city.
There are not many dead, single digits, all of them are unlucky, but there are many injured, about 100,000.
There are 3.6 billion people in the world, about 30,000 people died, tens of millions of injured, and hospitals that are usually not full of people.
Most of the injured people are the kind of wounded that have been stamped with thoughts, and they only need to destroy specific brain neurons to heal.
Compared to the scale of the Zhiji Rebellion, this casualty is actually very small, thanks to the house made of nano metal materials, it is very strong, and everyone can hide back in the house if they can't defeat the Zhiji.
However, the losses caused by the rebellion are huge, and the huge civilian intelligent machinery system and supercomputing system are considered to be wasted, because everyone does not know how many viruses are still lurking in these computers.
Turn it on again, and there may be another rebellion.
Cleaning up and formatting these things is a super project, you know, a tree is a supercomputer.
And the rebellion on earth is not over.
The smart machines on the ground generally have a battery structure, and they can move for a while even if the nuclear power plant is shut down.
So most of the troops of the Provisional Army set out for the ground, intending to put an end to the rebellion in the city once and for all.
The damage on the ground is much greater than on the ground.
Astronomical observatories and radar stations, let's just talk about the industrial system that supplies chips to the city, which has been completely destroyed.
Because of the lack of replacement chips, in the short term, the intelligent logistics system, virtual games and anything cannot be recovered.
But fortunately, people don't have to worry about food, the artificial starch and protein industries are easy to recover, and the stock of lozenges and nutrient solutions is enough for the whole city to eat for a full hundred years.
This thing has a shelf life of only 200 years.
Kyoto Underground City, Hospital, through Luo Ji's explanation, the United Government officials understood the theory of the Dark Forest.
He said three words: "Trouble." ”
"The three-body world doesn't matter, but we don't have the power to destroy the solar system, it's up to the entire people to decide."
Luo Ji showed an embarrassed smile: "You have the ability to bypass the people and establish a dark forest deterrent system. ”
"Yes, but you mean that a certain person or group of people should take on the responsibility of saving humanity?"
The official showed a sneer, of course, not at Luo Ji, but at the entire human race, including himself.
"Sir, do you remember what Mr. Chen Xi said at the first hearing of the wall-facers?"
Luo Ji said: "He talked a lot, I don't know which sentence you are referring to?" ”
The official pondered for a moment, imitating Chen Xi's arrogant and contemptuous tone at the time, "Entrust the responsibility of saving humanity to a child, you... Why don't you die? ”
"Saving humanity should be everyone's business."
Luo Ji asked angrily: "So, do we have to wait for death?" ”
"No, no, no, of course not, the fastest two droplets still have twenty-nine hours to reach the solar system defense."
Observatories, radar stations, and people stationed along the line of defense of the solar system.
"We're going to launch a referendum on whether or not to conduct a dark forest deterrence."
"But you should know one thing, the sword bearer who has mastered deterrence holds the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of two civilizations, and if it is held by an individual, then this person must have the determination to put down the sword and kill people, preferably one hundred percent."
"To be honest, there are many such people in modern times."
"Only with sufficient determination can the sword-wielder exist and there are three states, holding the sword, releasing the sword, and letting go of the sword to kill, and the correlation between the second state and the three states is the stable value of deterrence and peace."
Luo Ji said: "Deterrence. ”
"Well, good word, deterrence."
"If the sword is held by the group, then the deterrence is only 0 and 1, and there is no intermediate state."
"There has just been a rebellion in the Wisdom Machine, and we can't let Dawn carry out deterrence, so it can only be done by the people themselves."
"But this person cannot be an individual, only a group, and the individual does not need to bear the responsibilities of belonging to the group."
Luo Ji felt a little old, and he couldn't adapt to the humanism of this era.
Wasn't once a hero the courage to take on more than a certain limit of responsibility?
How is it that in modern times, it has to be spurned instead?
But on the other hand, it seems that everyone is a hero.
"Rediaz, I remember he had a counter-trigger system, the Cradle, that we could use to create a deterrent system."
As he spoke, the official saluted and said goodbye, "Mr. Luo Ji, thank you for understanding the basic state of cosmic sociology for all mankind. ”
"The rest is left to all mankind to decide, you don't need to bear too much responsibility, please enjoy this era."
Officials left, went to the ground, and contacted the coalition government via radio to obtain authorization to restart the plant.
Now the whole city is without electricity, only some institutions still have electricity, and there is no way to hold a referendum.
After the officials left, Luo Ji came to the window and looked down at the people who were fighting in force and singing and dancing under the emergency lights.
It doesn't look like the end is coming.
This is the daily life of the surface world, and now that the surface world is gone, everyone has to run to reality for entertainment.
In the fight of force, most of them are point-to-point.
It doesn't matter if you're willing to be ruthless, it's just hospitalized, it's hard to kill people with civilian weapons anyway.
In modern times, intentional wounding is a misdemeanor that can be released on bail as long as a letter of understanding is obtained, and it is not even a crime if the injured person does not want the police and judicial system to be involved.
Like the end of the prosperous world, Luo Ji was a little intoxicated.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Luo Ji looked back and found that it was Si Ming, who he hadn't seen for a few days.
He noticed that Si Ming's severed arm had actually healed? Modern technology can't do it, right? It's too fast.
"Dr. Luo Ji, don't you go down and see the best side of this era? Standing too tall and always lonely. ”
Luo Ji shook his head and said, "The more I love this beautiful era, the more reluctant I am to it, and the more tormented my heart becomes." ”
"You still can't let go of your responsibility to save humanity?"
"Yes, I can't put it down."
Si Ming smiled.
What if everyone thinks and feels the same way as you? Now, there is still a little suffering as the fire of nirvana.
Moreover, the political system of human civilization must change.
You see, activate the emergency plan! A referendum is needed, and in the hyper-information age, the referendum on the bill can be completed within two minutes, so what if humanity loses hyper-information?
"Mr. Luo Ji, let's go, let's go and have a look, just stop by on the way home to see it."
"Can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"It wasn't a serious injury, it didn't hurt the internal organs, the skin trauma has been sutured, and there is no need to take stitches."
Luo Ji nodded, turned around to pack up his things, and then left the ward.
When he got closer, he realized that Si Ming's new arm was a metal prosthetic.
"What? Curious about this? The rebellion of the Wisdom Machine was beyond our expectations, and it happened suddenly, so it had to be like this. ”
"The technology that humans have is actually far more advanced than you think, and we can now replace all body tissues except the brain with machines, but in order for machines to read all the signals of the human brain, we need a tree-level supercomputer."
"If you switch to a quantum computer, for example, the smallest quantum computer produced in the laboratory before the collapse of peace would probably only require the entire abdominal space of an adult."
"This technology has no value for the time being, unless the fusion power generation system can become the size of a palm, and people can't always rely on radio for energy, which is too restrictive."
Luo Ji pondered for a long time: "What is the reason why you have been preventing me from informing the Coalition Government of the Dark Forest?" ”
Si Ming smiled back.
"We used a spell to keep the Star Alliance fleet from being pursued by water droplets, and human civilization has continued."
"The people in the organization, those who want to leave are gone, and those who want to stay are stayed."
"The rest of the thing is to spend the rest of your life in peace, and the purpose of our left-behind faction is: to let the humans who stay in the Blue Star live the rest of their lives in peace."
"Inform the Coalition Government of the Dark Forest, and that goal will be shattered."
Mr. Chen Xi's more than a century of cultural (anti-river crab) life achievements may also be destroyed.
Establish deterrence, establish peace, and human beings can also spend the rest of their lives in peace, but in the face of the 'smile of the wall-faced', Luo Ji only nodded to show that he understood, and did not ask about this issue.
He just thought that the left-behind faction, who did not hesitate to push all mankind to the edge of the abyss, should have some other form of deterrence.
"Now that the coalition government knows about the Dark Forest and is trying to establish a deterrent, your goals have been shattered, right?"
Si Ming shook his head and said, "You have forgotten. ”
"Mr. Chen Xi is also a hedonistic and deathist, and he is in the defense line of the solar system."
Even if Mr. Chen Xi didn't see our purpose clearly, there were members of the Left-behind faction on Ceres.
