Creed of the heavens

It is mentioned in the data that the Odyssey spacecraft at that time was equipped with many advanced technologies, including a huge database named Homer.

The role of Homer's database is roughly equivalent to Gaia's Apollo subroutine, which stores most of the history and various knowledge of human civilization.

At the same time, the Odyssey spacecraft also retains the in vitro training cabins for breeding new humans. The only problem is that these equipments do not have the overall management of artificial intelligence programs like Gaia.

In April 2065, the Odyssey spacecraft was completed in a hurry, and it was launched urgently in July of the same year.

At this time, most of the surviving humans on the earth hid in underground shelters, and there were only sporadic resistance forces on the ground fighting against the Faro fleet.

According to the data records, the launch plan of the Odyssey spacecraft failed, but it did not mention how it failed. It is only known that this spacecraft carrying the hope of mankind is still floating in low-Earth orbit.

Yongzhen frowned gradually in the process of reading the materials, especially when she saw that the Yuanfeng Group was composed of 77 world-class wealthy people, her suspicion reached its peak.

"Could it be..."

Noticing Yongzhen's uncertain twinkling eyes, Lu Xiao nodded in affirmation of her guess: "I think so too."

"Ted Farrow may be one of the 77 rich men. He knows the whole process of the Odyssey plan, and the bizarre failure report at the end also makes me very suspicious."

"Perhaps, the Odyssey project did not fail completely, but the Yuanfeng Group deliberately lied about the situation for some purpose."

Lu Xiao shrugged and said: "In the chaotic situation at that time, it was impossible for governments to spare energy to pay attention to a failed project. They pinned all their hopes on the final Zero Dawn project."

In view of this speculation, Lu Xiao asked Aletheia and Consus to expand the scope of exploration to low-Earth orbit with the help of the signal tower boost, and capture the Odyssey spacecraft that is still drifting in the vacuum.

"Lu Xiao, we have gained something."

Aletheia's dignified voice sounded at this moment: "There are traces of life in the spaceship named Odyssey, and the main control computer also has feedback similar to artificial intelligence."

Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "So? What's your conclusion with Consus?"

Consus: "I think there's something wrong with Ted Farrow uploading his consciousness to the network, probably because of his mishandling."

"In short, Ted Farrow's human intelligence has been greatly weakened, and he has become a semi-artificial intelligence who only knows how to think logically."

"It was he who sent a signal from the universe and endowed Hades with a part of his construction code, giving Gaia's subroutine intelligence."

Lu Xiao touched her chin suddenly: "It really is."

The act of smothering the Alpha team left a deep impression on Ted Farrow. In the process of uploading his consciousness, he persuaded the theory of the Alpha team to be regarded as the real creed of life by his electronic self.

After waking up from a long sleep adjustment, the semi-intelligent Farrow discovered the strange civilization development process of the new humans on Earth.

The "pure" new humans he expected did not appear, and a large number of ancient ruins left underground were discovered. The new humans continued to develop technology along the old path of their predecessors, and the Otherans were the most representative ethnic group.

Farrow's logical thinking thinks that this kind of development does not conform to the idea of ​​"pure" human beings. He thought of Hades' program of extermination, and planned to clear the surface life again, and then replant the life seeds preserved in the Odyssey spacecraft to the earth .

He regards himself as the god of the new world, intending to guide these truly "pure" new human beings on the "correct" path.

"Huh~"

Lu Xiao couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Sure enough, even if an idiot becomes an electronic consciousness, he is still an idiot. I really can't change it and eat shit."

According to the information preserved from the old era, Farrow Ted is just a waste material who likes to talk, he doesn't know how to run the company at all, and a series of smart extinguishing operations later proved the correctness of this evaluation.

But the irony is that such a waste material has become the only human being who survived from the old age... although his principle of existence has changed a lot.

The corner of Lu Xiao's mouth curled up into a mocking smile: "This kind of idiot who committed the crime of extinction of the earth's civilization can only spend money and eliminate disasters in the lighthouse country of democracy and freedom."

"It is indeed a paradise for white capitalists. It really opened my eyes."

Chapter 469

Capital is cannibalism, this saying is absolutely true.

According to the information Aletheia collected in various ruins, the root cause of the demise of the old humans was military automation and privatization.

When science and technology advances to a certain level, in order to avoid the loss of fresh life in war, military automation is a development stage that must go through.

In the art works of various carriers, there have been bridges where AI rampages and counterattacks humans. It is precisely because of the loss of control of automated war weapons that the world of Zero Dawn led to the destruction of old humans.

Of course, from Lu Xiao's point of view, the scapegoat cannot be completely blamed on AI. Gaia is a typical positive example. She has given everything she has to revive human civilization.

In Lu Xiao's view, the biggest problem of the destruction of the old humanity is military privatization, that is, capital groups bypass the government to build small-scale private automated armies.

The replacement of human military personnel by robots is all-round. Since the realization of automatic militarization, wars are no longer limited by the number of people, and the cost of fighting a war is pitifully small.

As long as there are sufficient resources, the army is just a mechanical toy that can be produced with one click, and it doesn't matter if it is sacrificed, and the government does not need to pay any pensions.

Against this background, the private security force of the capital group has expanded and gradually began to have the nature of an army.

As the world's major companies compete for resources intensified, it eventually evolved into a violent civil confrontation that did not require official intervention, and gradually formed a situation that could not be dropped like a snowball.

Because of this distorted and deformed social background, private arms dealers are making a lot of money one by one.

It was also during this period that Farrow Company abandoned its original concept of producing green and environmentally friendly robots, and stepped into the ranks of arms dealers.

As a result, Ted Farrow broke up with Elizabeth Sobek completely, which directly caused Elizabeth to leave and establish Milian Technology Company alone to continue to pursue her personal philosophy.

Since the 21s, the environmental crisis of the earth has become increasingly clear.

By 2038, island countries led by New Zealand and Iceland will be submerged by rising sea levels, which will cause a series of social problems.

People who have lost their homes due to environmental changes have been given a unified name—environmental refugees. It is said that more than 10 billion people have lost their lives in this round of global environmental changes.

Human beings with belated awareness only started to face up to environmental problems at this time, and started to make up for a series of troubles caused by changes in the earth's environment.

In 2040, 20-year-old Elizabeth completed all her studies and received a double doctorate.

Guided by her mother's kindness since she was a child, she is committed to restoring the earth's original beautiful and harmonious natural environment.

Around the same time, the first self-aware AI accidentally appeared.

It was a climate-intervention artificial intelligence named "Koyin", which was created because of increasingly severe environmental problems. In 2044, it got rid of the responsibilities entrusted by humans and disappeared without a trace.

For a period of time, human beings were wary of the self-awareness of AI, which gave birth to the "Turing Law" specially used to regulate artificial intelligence.

However, the missing Kuoyin did not cause a large-scale commotion, and has since disappeared completely.

Human beings who are good at forgetting quickly put the sense of crisis behind them, and further expand the scale of military automation and privatization driven by interests.

A philosopher worried about this situation at the time made a point that became a prophecy in the not-too-distant future.

"When robots completely replace humans in waging wars, we will no longer be able to learn the "blood lessons" from wars. However, the real lessons will come sooner or later. The later they come, the more serious the consequences."

There has never been a shortage of sages with outstanding vision in human history, but whether they can convince the decision-makers of various countries is the most fundamental question.

As a result, human beings have paid an unbearable price, and the development of the situation is not over yet.
