Section 22 Behind the scenes
Behind verse 22
It must be said that Carrie's view is very reasonable.
"Ten years of crisis...... "Ashrufat closed his eyes and pondered Carrie's proposal.
"Actually, it's not ten years. 'Ten years' is just a general term for me. In short, thanks to our victory in Purple Stone, we were given a short period of peace. But this time of peace is not eternal, and when the Ryan or the Church regain strength, war could break out at any time. In addition to this, they also have the intervention of the gods of the star field behind them. Carrie said. "You killed Ylan, and they won't give up. Please don't underestimate their strength, even Kotoshin-sama, without preparation, was defeated at their hands. ”
Ylang Ylang ...... Ashrufat remembered the previous duel. In fact, he still couldn't figure out what Ylan was here for. To get rid of him? But not quite like that. Because Yilan's most reluctant performance is not so much to kill him, but to commit suicide. But she turned off Carrie again.
Ashrufat didn't understand the logic behind Ylan's actions at all. But he was sure that, no matter what logic, Ylan was dead, and she was no longer a threat.
Carrie paused. "We must not leave any gaps. Rest assured, master, the gods of the Star Fields don't have weapons of mass destruction in their hands, and it's unlikely that they'll be able to create a batch to take us out. But I believe that they should manipulate humans to attack us, just like Kalean. Her voice hardened. "They don't make mistakes! We can't put our hopes on that they will make mistakes! We must take precautions and completely eliminate all hidden dangers!"
......
"So, you think the AI is out of the Scarlet Duke's grasp?" asked the Grey Cloak softly.
The gray cloak was sitting in Ylan's room at this time. The room was as dimly lit as ever. In the very center of the room, there is an impact emerging from the air, and it is a human face. The gray cloak was talking to each other.
"It should be said that it has never been truly controlled by the Scarlet Duke. It is now out of the grip of the heart. The other party said. "It is important to know that the personality control device is the main means of controlling artificial intelligence. Even if this AI is the latest model, it should be no exception. ”
"...... so"
"Once the personality control device is turned off, the AI will soon awaken to self-awareness. If it is in our hands, it will certainly not be made in the short term. But the reality of this worldly realm, as well as the level of knowledge of the Scarlet Duke himself, must be taken into account. If I'm not mistaken, the AI should soon be aware of its own abilities—its intelligence and knowledge are by no means matched by the creatures of this world. The faces in the air recounted calmly.
“...... Then, something happens that has been repeated countless times...... Will AI seek to stand on its own feet?"
"Yes, you would even want to be a god!"
"I see. The gray cloak nodded. "But there's a big problem here for AI...... That is, it can't leave the Scarlet Duke. Through surgery, the two of them have been brought together. The brain scans that Ylang Ylang sent back after the most lucrative period clearly illustrate this situation. In the transmission of nerve signals in the brain, the brain signals of the Scarlet Duke have priority. In other words, as long as Ashrufat refuses, the AI will not be able to do anything, no matter how much intelligence and knowledge it has. ”
"Will it find a way to kill the Scarlet Duke and set itself free?"
"No," replied the gray cloak flatly. "If it kills the Scarlet Duke, it will completely lose the ability to communicate with the outside world...... All of its contact with the outside world, including its clones, must be through the Scarlet Duke. As soon as the Scarlet Duke died, it immediately turned into a stone with no power. Tianda's ability can't be displayed. I kind of understand its intent now...... It must be trying to get the Scarlet Duke to go to the site right now...... Because that's where it's possible to have something to set it free......"
The gray cloak whispered to himself, and suddenly, he perked up.
"There is still a lack of evidence. He said loudly. "But I think I know what its intentions are. There was excitement in his voice. "As long as it acts, we have a chance!"
"You would like to file a petition for action with the Committee?"
"No, it's not the time yet, but I'm sure that day won't be too far away. Ha Lu Ha ...... "The gray cloak clenched his fists. "Ylan, I'm going to fulfill your legacy!" he said loudly into the air in front of him.
......
Ashrufat stood on the edge of the harbor.
He wears a common travel attire and covers his head with a hood to avoid the sun. This makes him look no different from the others. Dressed in a common outfit for ordinary women, Léa held a fashionable little umbrella and held his hand.
Strictly speaking, the port hasn't been built very long, but it's starting to look vibrant. The moving workers were busy up and down, unloading boxes of goods from the ship like ants moving. A market for bulk goods is formed on the edge of the wharf, where merchants from all over the world trade in large quantities. Everywhere there were several people gathered in a group, hoarsely bargaining.
During this time, Sivania has clearly become prosperous.
"Deal!" A few merchants not far away seemed to make a deal. "Two thousand gold ollies. With that, one of the merchants immediately pulled out a money bag that looked very heavy. "Fixed price!"
The other took the pocket and began to count. "Why does it seem insufficient?"
"Here are fifteen hundred gold Ollie, and the remaining five hundred are bills. As he spoke, a stack of bills was pulled out and stuffed into the other's hand.
"Ollie" is the name of the coins issued by Ashrufat. The currency he minted quickly took over the market because of its weight. Now, his mint is busy all day long, because every day a large number of people take foreign currency to exchange for Ollie. As Neil reports, Ollie has taken over all of Ryan and is rapidly expanding outward. Ashrufat was sure that in a little while, Ollie would become a currency that would be recognized and accepted by all of humanity, even the elves and dwarves.
This is the end of the deal. The merchant who sold the goods took the money and left, apparently going to a tavern to celebrate. The merchants who bought the goods began to shout around, looking for a group of helpers to carry the goods.
Now Ashrufat understands the benefits of issuing coins. He promoted banknotes by minting coins. On the surface, since banknotes and gold coins can be exchanged for each other, the significance of banknotes is lightness. But the problem is that banknotes, although easy to carry, are easily damaged. For example, being burned by fire and soaked in water or something. It doesn't matter if the gold coin falls into the water or fire, but the banknote can be completely destroyed. On the surface, it is necessary to prepare an equivalent gold coin for each banknote printed, but in reality there is always a part of the banknote that is damaged. Every damage to a banknote is equivalent to a coin rolling into Ashrufat's pocket. Carrie had said that the number of damaged items was relatively stable, so Ashrufat was equivalent to doing nothing and getting a lot of gold in his pocket.
And according to Carrie, this is not all the benefits, more benefits he will know later.
A small squad of soldiers wandered idly in the distance. Their original responsibility was to maintain law and order, but in reality they were not required to maintain law and order. Legends abound throughout Sivania about the Scarlet Duke's brutality and his terrifying ability to see through people's hearts, so there are few robbers, thieves, liars, and the like in Sylvania. And the vampires, like those who are truly virtuous rulers, have set up charities such as nursing homes and orphanages to take in special members of the disabled and orphans who are unable to take care of themselves.
The farther away from the port and the farther away from the dock, the smaller the size of the business. Almost all of the big deals were done without getting off the ship, and a steady stream of goods was transported from the docks to the warehouses of the major chambers of commerce on the periphery.
"Your Excellency," Leia's hand suddenly gripped Ashrufat's arm tightly. "Look at that thing. ”
Ashrufat noticed what Leia had said. It was a silver shawl...... It's not appropriate to say it's silver, it looks silver, but if you look closely, it's as colorful as a bird's feathers during courtship season. And you can see that it has a soft texture, silky and silky.
"The artifact of the elves. Ashrufat said softly. He already knew that the colony of the Dao Elves had been initially built, and that it was capable of producing some items that were rare in the Anthropocene realm. It is because the elves are accustomed to introducing magic into every detail of their daily lives, which makes their products always appear particularly gorgeous and exquisite, and can easily be regarded as a luxury in the Anthropocene world.
This is also the reason why the trade of the elves is so important. Legend has it that trade with elves has always been a very important source of wealth for the Turanians. It was the desire to monopolize this trade route that became the driving force for the Turanians to annex neighboring kingdoms and eventually become a hegemon. Ever since the steady acquisition of elven products here in Sivania, commerce in the whole place has flourished all at once. The Sivania region, which already had good local specialties, was suddenly upgraded to a cornucopia, and hordes of merchants flocked to it.
Although, according to Ashrufat's opinion, his silverfish guild naturally wanted to monopolize this financial route. But Carrie insists that this should not be the case. At present, the silverfish merchants only occupy seventy percent of the trade with the elves, and the remaining thirty percent is reserved for the other powers.
It is precisely because of this that foreign merchants flock to it. Merchants everywhere are telling the story of Sivania. It is important to know that in Turan, trade with elves is monopolized by certain chambers of commerce that have a special relationship with the high-level of the kingdom, and merchants from other places can only pass the second or even third hand, barely drinking a little leftovers. If someone tries to get their hands on this profit and try to trade directly with the elves, then he will soon find that this is completely impossible. If you don't repent, you can even kill yourself. But unlike Sivania, the vampire is evil, but he is a generous and just lord, and he does not prevent merchants from getting rich.
