Although the task that Xu Chu had assigned was completed, 1434 and 5786 did not return from the Mechanical Empire.Although they are mechanical life forms, they spent most of their time in human society.Now the machine empire, a country full of the same type of life as them, is very strange and novel to them.And for ordinary robots in the mechanical empire, they are also very eye-catching.

1434 and 5786 are happy to explore this country, although they have no sense of belonging to this country so far.But they are also very curious about the lives of ordinary robots.

From their point of view, life that would wage wars of aggression against other creatures was probably very vicious and terrifying.Especially after watching the cruel encounters that were broadcasted and suffered by human captives in the hands of the machine empire—being used for various experiments, forced to reproduce, or regarded as tools for hybridization with other lives, etc., Some of them are even used directly to feed other organisms.

These inhumane treatment made 1434 and 5786 have all kinds of horrible guesses about their fellows, but it was not until they integrated into these companions that they realized that most of the robots were actually very simple.

Most of the time, they follow the instructions of the master brain, and they don't have too many ideas of their own, and what they have is only the biological instinct to survive.

The more he got along with them, the more 1434 felt that these beings were actually so similar to the mimics he had been with.They are simple-minded and obey their superiors unconditionally. Apart from that, they know little about everything around them.And because of this, they appear to be very cruel when carrying out orders.Because they don't understand human nature, they can't understand the meaning of certain behaviors to other lives. They only seek efficiency and results, but the decisions they make in the end appear to be horrific.

Number 1434 began to wonder, how did such a life finally make the decision to launch an aggressive war?In his opinion, apart from the desire for survival, mechanical life almost has no desires, but the mechanical empire does not appear to be short of resources.

After his in-depth contact with the mechanical empire, he gradually noticed some abnormalities.According to his understanding, the original political structure of the Mechanical Empire is more similar to a political co-governance where all the people participate and everyone governs.Although it can't be called a community of consciousness, each robot can directly contact the main brain, or its independent clone on the planet.

Moreover, there are no secrets in the mechanical empire. Everyone can participate in the operation and formulation of all laws and regulations.The decision-making and implementation of each transaction are also open and transparent.

But that was before the earliest, even before the establishment of the Machine Empire.

But as early as decades ago—yes, decades ago, when the robots were still under the rule of Salimon, some things had quietly changed.

Now, from the perspective of 1434, the robots that grew up in the mechanical empire are more like a group of mechanical tools.They don't know why they want to develop a certain industry, they don't know what they are working all the time, and what they are producing is for.In addition to obtaining a certain amount of energy coins to maintain their survival, the upper-level operations of the entire empire have completely cut off contact with them.Apart from obeying or obeying, everything else has nothing to do with the operation of this empire.

For this invasion war, all the ordinary mechanical people are even more ignorant of the purpose of Xingxing.It has become their instinct to just blindly accept the orders from the upper echelons.

Maybe this is the social state that mechanical life should have, but 1434 thought for a long time, and sent his doubts and what he saw and heard during this period back to the unmanned star field.

After getting the news, Xu Chu also noticed something was wrong.He discussed with Seiler and the others, and asked, "Is this a problem with the upper layers of the robots? Or is it their mastermind?"

Seiler thought for a long time, and then said: "Actually, the fact that the robot betrayed Salimon back then was full of doubts. From the perspective of the evolutionary process of the life form of the robot, it should not have developed to the point where it will Knowing the extent of deceit and betrayal. But their transformation back then came very quickly, but judging from the results, the resources they obtained now did not get more than the Salimon Empire gave them back then.

Such a result is actually completely predictable. With the mastermind's ability back then, it can be predicted through calculations.There was no need for robots to betray at all back then, and because Salimon firmly believed in this, when ruling other lives, he completely relied on robots and the mechanical mastermind to control other creatures, so once the robots were lost, the entire The Salimon system completely collapsed. "

Xu Chu frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I remember Anna said that the mastermind of the robot was born in the hands of the Druff family. After generating wisdom, he continued to iteratively update himself. Could it be that the mastermind appeared in the update? Question, did you show a completely different side from other robots?"

Hearing that other people also began to think about this issue, Xu Chu then shook his head and said: "Leave this aside, the important thing is - whether it is possible for us now, we don't need to fight against the army of the Mechanical Empire at all, but just lead people Can sneaking in and directly attacking the mastermind solve this war?"

"This is impossible!" Suddenly a familiar yet unfamiliar voice appeared in the conference room.

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly lowered his head. Sure enough, he saw on the corner of the conference table, an octopus mechanical spider with a small human brain on its back quickly crawled up the table, and then climbed up. on the desktop.

Many people at the meeting table recognized the appearance of this mechanical spider, while others showed some expressions of surprise.

But Xu Chu was also very surprised by his appearance.He thought that Oliver should have left with him in the first place because of his dogleg against Tours.

"Why is it impossible?" But Xu Chu was more curious about this question now.

"Because today's mastermind is no longer the original mastermind. There is a huge clone of the mastermind on every planet in the mechanical empire. There is no primary or secondary among these clones. They are connected together to form the mastermind itself. So no matter what you destroy Which one of them has no effect on the other clones. Of course, you can also choose to destroy all the masterminds, but the problem now is not that there is a problem with the mastermind. Today’s mastermind has already become a tool for issuing orders. Without the mastermind, There are also many means in the machine empire that can issue orders. What you need to solve is the existence of those who actually issue orders and make decisions."

While Oliver was talking, a spider claw tapped on the table.Then, on the white wall at the end of the conference table, a video suddenly appeared.

In that video, countless human beings are imprisoned in a huge empty building with horrified faces.Then, in the blink of an eye, the lights in the building flickered, and all the humans became dull-eyed, like walking dead.

That video once appeared on the human network to expose the brutality of robots against humans.This video is mixed in with many other more tragic videos, and it is very unobtrusive.

But now taking it out alone, it looks so weird.

"Aren't you surprised, what kind of technology does the robot use in this video to deprive human beings of their autonomy so efficiently?" Oliver turned to look at the others and asked.

No one in the room responded to this question, and all of them frowned in thought.Xu Chu was silent for a while, and then said directly: "Since you know, then don't keep it a secret."

Oliver shrugged and smiled obsequiously at Xu Chu, "The technology of robots focuses on the study of their mechanical bodies, so they are mechanically advanced, but it is impossible to have technologies that target consciousness and spirit. But from the video It can be seen in the picture that these human beings are not injured, but their eyes are dull, and they have no reaction to the outside world. It can be seen that there is a problem with their spiritual consciousness, but such a problem is definitely not caused by the robot itself. "

Listening to Oliver's explanation, Xu Chu thought that the mechanical mastermind mentioned by the other party had long been reduced to a tool for calculation and issuing orders, combined with the communication gap between ordinary robots and the upper layers of robots over the years.Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "You mean, there are existences that can directly affect the consciousness body in the upper layer of the robot. They can not only cause damage to the human consciousness, but also directly affect the mechanical master brain, making the robot become theirs. tools in your hands?"

Oliver nodded towards Xu Chu with satisfaction, "That's right! Not only that, these existences are not only satisfied with simple life forms like mechanical life. These existences who consider themselves to be higher life forms not only regard this world as their The playground even regards other lives in this world as their prey. The upper echelons of the Liberty Alliance government have already had the same problems as the robots, and now, they are likely to target us."

"How will they deal with us? Will they directly launch a war against us?" Xu Chu asked.

"d732." Oliver smiled and said, "That is the tool they brought to understand the world."
