Great Power Technology

Ugly Country, Birmingham National Laboratory.

Hassan sighed while sorting out the information left in the laboratory. He knew in his heart that after today, these information may not be unblocked for a long time.

Mingsen is still detained in the hands of China. He has made several requests for help, and even called Congress. However, the official response to him has always been only one:

The so-called Mind Uploading Alliance is a loose non-governmental organization with no official ties to the United States. Incidents and disputes related to the Alliance should be handled in accordance with international law.

The so-called relevant provisions of international law are actually nothing more than a wrangling between the two countries.

Obviously, under the current circumstances, Ugly State is more inclined to deal with Mingsen in accordance with the principle of personality and with China taking the victim's position into consideration.

This also means that the Ugly Country officials have completely given up on this character, or in other words, completely given up on the strategy of "consciousness uploading."

Mingsen was afraid that he would not survive.

Hassan sighed in his heart again.

He didn't know how things developed to this point, but in fact, at the earliest time, Mingsen had just confessed to himself the so-called "members of the Ark Organization"

He had vaguely anticipated this day when he took on the role of Mingsen. This is why after several invitations from Mingsen, he still insisted on his choice and did not join the Ark organization.

In his opinion, the biggest mistake of the Ark organization is not in the technical direction or the means of doing things, but in choosing the wrong opponent.

How could anyone confront China head-on at this time? Do they really not know what the three words "nuclear fusion" mean?

Yes, nuclear fusion technology itself is not uncommon, and countries are also trying it. However, if one country can realize the application of this technology at a speed far exceeding that of other countries, it can only explain one problem:

The comprehensive strength of this country has far exceeded the highest level of other countries.

Moreover, this kind of transcendence is far more than what it shows, but like an iceberg, when the top of one iceberg is one meter higher than another, it is likely that the underwater volume of this iceberg is larger than that of another. Twice as big.

In fact, Mingsen doesn't need to be so anxious at all - the progress of consciousness uploading technology in the laboratory is indeed very slow, but it is not no progress at all. If it can be developed in a low-key manner for more than five years, the future they are looking forward to is very promising. Maybe it will become a reality.

Isn’t this what the Chinese have been doing?

It develops silently, and then suddenly jumps out and surprises everyone.

It's a pity that Mingsen didn't learn this way of working, and he didn't have the chance to learn it.

After packing up all the documents, Hassan closed the door of the laboratory. According to the arrangements from his superiors, he will be transferred to the artificial intelligence project to assist China in further work on optimizing the BCI project. In a few hours, he will be After leaving Chou Country, I got on a plane and headed to Chengdu, China.

Outside the laboratory door, the Chinese staff who had been waiting for a long time reached out and took the briefcase in his hand, and then said:

"Mr. Hassan, welcome to join us. We are very happy that you have made the right choice. The information you provided in the early stage has been of great help to us, and we are very grateful for this."

Hearing what the other party said, Hassan smiled and replied:

"Maybe it's just a petal dropped in a garden. Even without my help, you are fully capable of dealing with such a situation, right?"

The staff did not hesitate, but nodded and replied:

"This is indeed the case, but we still value every goodwill and friendship. Humanity is facing a common crisis, and cooperation is the way out."

"Yes, I think those politicians have understood this. That's why they sent me to China."

"It's quite ironic, isn't it?"

"What the Ark organization is trying so hard to obtain can actually be achieved in a gentler way. I think the artificial intelligence module I'm about to come into contact with actually has a strong connection with consciousness uploading, right?"

"Yes, but this technology is not allowed to be used for consciousness uploading - this is a prerequisite for all cooperation."

Hassan nodded slightly and then asked:

"Aren't you worried about technology leaks? I can betray Ark, or I can betray you."

The staff member was not surprised at all by his honesty. During the previous background investigation, Hassan's personality profile had already been formed, so he also knew that Hassan was a person who would put everything on the table and talk about it.

"We are not worried, just as Ark was not worried before."

"You are a person who pursues interests. For you, any so-called 'loyalty' is illusory. Only interests are realistic."

"And the benefits we can bring to you, in the foreseeable future, are unmatched by anyone."

Hearing this, Hassan let out a long sigh.

Yes, this is actually the reason why he made suggestions to the officials in advance and exposed the information of the Ark organization to China.

He clearly saw that in the competition for world hegemony, China had taken the absolute initiative, and what its side should do was no longer confrontation and suppression, but compliance and cooperation.

Survival is more important than anything else. Otherwise, how are you going to resist when the Golden Crow flies over your head?

"Actually, I'm also surprised that you are willing to accept me - you are willing to accept other scientific researchers. This seems to be different from the philosophy you uphold."

"In my impression, China is actually a relatively closed cultural circle. Whether it is economic, social, or scientific, your development route is more inclined to rely on endogenous power."

"Even without our help, you can do a lot of things. It doesn't seem that necessary for you to absorb scientific researchers on a large scale, does it?"

"of course not."

The staff member shook his head in denial and then said:

"As I have always emphasized, cooperation is the only way out for mankind, and scientific cooperation is the first step to break the ice."

“If we can achieve technology sharing on the basis of peace, then we can push the international community to develop in a more inclusive and stable direction. This is a prerequisite for making full use of existing human resources and developing with the highest efficiency. "

"In addition, Chinese civilization has never been a closed civilization. At this point, you may have some misunderstandings about us."

"We have been accepting and learning from the advancements of various civilizations, and integrating them into our own cultural system, ultimately giving birth to a cultural system that is more in line with this era, thus supporting our continued development."

"This is different from the so-called 'openness' and 'integration' pursued by your motherland, which is probably why you can't understand it."

Hassan hummed and replied:

"I really don't understand. However, I have read some history, and I can feel that you probably want to learn from the practices of the Tang Dynasty?"

The staff laughed and didn't answer.

Seeing his reaction, Hassan continued talking to himself.

"During the Tang Dynasty, China was the gathering point of all civilizations in the world. Businessmen and envoys from the entire continent gathered there. The exchange of civilization and technology also reached its peak. It seems that it is the same now?"

"I remember a sentence in the book that said that the clothes of ten thousand countries all gathered in Chang'an. The original sentence of this sentence is"

At this point, he paused, and then looked at the staff member for help, who also looked at him, and then replied:

"The clothes and hats of all nations worship me."
