Chapter 132, reality and future
"So, that's probably that." Pan Long crossed out the last line on the long table, looked at the table that had been cut all over, and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
All 315 mobile cities around the world have visited and convinced them.
Persuasion is successful, no exception.
"If I had known it was so simple, I wouldn't have to trouble you with such hard work. I would have gone to heaven to spread the evil spirits again and again." The doctor sighed, "I always feel that it's too troublesome to you."
Pan Long shook his head: "This practice can only be used as a backup when there is no way to do anything. And... if the power of the human world is not reduced and the value of the power as energy is reduced, those city lords may not be slanderous."
"Not that, are they not afraid of death?" The doctor was a little suspicious.
"As long as there is 100% profit, capital will risk going to the gallows. With 300% profit, they can do anything horrible. Death... is nothing." Pan Long smiled and said a genuine tutor quote, "If the intensity of the psychic induction in the world is constantly increasing, various psychic machinery emerges one after another, the application range is getting wider and wider, and the efficiency is getting higher and higher... Then even if I can kill many people, I can't stop the psychic energy from being widely used."
“Is it that serious?”
Pan Long sighed with a smile: "How can the great trend be so easy to confront? Only by breaking this trend first and smashing the wheel of the times can we change the direction of the world's development trend - so what I did before is definitely not a waste."
These principles were all figured out by him during those boring and arduous months of work.
"At the beginning, I was also thinking - do I need to work so hard? Why don't you just announce the matter to the whole world, and then announce that for the sake of the world's security, you need to ban the psychic energy and pick a few birds to kill. This should be OK?"
The doctor nodded repeatedly: "It should be possible."
"But I discussed it with all the gods and rejected this plan." Pan Long sighed, "The gods said that in this world, if someone talks about them, they will have a vague sense of perception. The more people talk about them, the stronger their sense of perception will be."
"The gods in this world are probably just as strong as me. Do you think those star-swalking demons can do what they can do?"
The doctor was stunned, and then his hair stood up and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Then what we say now... won't be known, right?" he asked hurriedly.
Pan Long shook his head: "I have done an experiment. When I go to outer space, even if I call the gods' names, unless they divide a consciousness nearby, they will not feel it. It can be seen that this kind of induction has a 'range'. They cannot hear the call outside the range... I understand it as 'insufficient signal strength'."
The doctor nodded slightly, and he already understood what Pan Long meant.
"Psychic energy is used to increase the signal strength, so the higher the psychic sensing intensity, the easier it is for the star-swallowing demons to sense this world, right?"
"That's right."
"Under the same amplitude standard, the higher the signal strength, the easier it is for the Star-Swallowing Demons to sense this world, right?"
"It should be."
"Then the question comes." Pan Long sighed, "If the matter is exposed and people all over the world know the existence of the Star-Swallowing Demon Gods, how strong will the signal become?"
The doctor imagined it and was shocked.
"I understand!" he murmured to himself, "This thing must be hidden from the public, it is best to be silent and no one can discover it. If it is a natural disaster or a natural phenomenon, it is the most perfect..."
"Yes!" Pan Long nodded, "So, if you can isolate the Star-Swallowing Demon God's sensing of this planet by spreading evil spirits in outer space, that is the most perfect solution. So even if it is hard and dangerous, I am willing to go to outer space again and again to complete this work."
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that the time I can stay in this world is limited. After each arrival, it will take several years before it will come again... I really can't determine what will happen in the past few years, and I don't want to wait for me to come again, and what I see is a world that has been swallowed by the demon god and is waiting to be digested."
"So I have only one choice, that is... and forcefully push the world to disable psychic energy while trying to control the scope of 'informers'."
He said: "Actually, if I can, I really don't want to do this. It's not that I hate killing people. The city lords and their subordinates I killed during this period may have one or two people who will not die of sin, but even if one hundred kills only ninety-nine, maybe there will be fish that miss the net... I don't have any psychological burden to kill them."
"But if you can, I think the things in this world can be solved without killing people, so it is better not to use this method."
He sighed softly: "The simpler and rougher the method, the easier it is to leave sequelae. The idea of 'If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who creates the problem' is occasionally correct and often useful, but it will almost certainly bring more trouble..."
He patted the doctor's shoulder and said softly: "I'm leaving this world. I don't know how long it will take for me to come next time. The next work will be left to you. I hope you don't blame me... No, if you want to complain, just complain me. But you must do your job well."
"Don't worry!" The doctor patted his chest hard, but because he was too strong, he couldn't help but cough a few times, and he looked a little embarrassed. "You have already made such a good head. If I can't get things done and can't give you a perfect answer, then I'm not the 'best military strategist in the world'."
He gave a thumbs up: "You can always trust me in terms of conspiracy and intrigue!"
Pan Long couldn't help laughing.
"Then please."
"no problem!"
Pan Long's figure gradually faded away and finally disappeared without a trace.
After a moment, he stood in front of the still sea of stars and pondered silently.
"Are these worlds real or illusory?"
"Is their existence unquestionable? Or is it just my fantasy?"
"Do I have a better choice? Can I do more for that world?"
He pondered for a long time, but finally came to another conclusion first.
"No matter what, you will never be able to create such a sewing weird world in the future!"
"Several worlds are integrated, and various problems are intertwined, so it's easy to get rid of them. This time, this incident is a good lesson!"
"I must never enter this world before I can cultivate myself and live a long life - unless I am sure I have the power to fight against the Star-Swallowing Demon God, even if I pass, I will be powerless."
"Escape is never the real solution to the problem!"
He gradually calmed down, then left the Shanhai Jing, visited Wen Chao's afterimage, and talked about what he saw and heard this time.
Wen Chao's afterimage agrees with Pan Long's consideration. Although he can only be considered AI intelligence strictly, he, who had almost all of Wen Chao's experience during his lifetime, at least in terms of emotions and thinking, was not much different from the real Wen Chao.
"Your choice is very correct. Only when facing the super monsters that devour the planet, you can cultivate and grow up and have the qualifications to negotiate with them. Before that, retreating is also a good choice."
"It's like boxing. You're closing your punches to punch, don't be psychologically burdened with it. No one in the world can keep attacking, you're doing a good job."
Pan Long smiled and asked, "Do you think...the Star-Swallowing Demon God really appears in that world?"
"How do you say this?"
"According to my impression, the stronger the world in the various worlds of the Shanhai Jing, the smaller the scope of the world. The Star-Swallowing Demon God is so powerful, and the world should be very small. But that world is quite huge... Isn't this a contradiction?"
Wen Chao thought for a long time and said, "Even I can't fully understand the mystery of the Shanhai Jing. But there is one thing I know."
"What's up?"
"Everything exists is reasonable." Wen Chao said, "There must be a reason to support its existence. Perhaps we cannot find this reason for the time being, but 'existence' itself is an objective fact and is not transferred by human will."
Pan Long narrowed his eyes, not very clear about what he meant.
"For example, the world you experienced this time is inconsistent with the experience you summarized in the past. Why is that?" Wen Chao said with a smile, "This is indeed a question, and it is a very important question. But is there an answer to this question that affects your choice?"
Pan Long said: "I think it will still be an impact. If that world does not actually support such a powerful existence as the 'Star-Swallowing Demon God', then what I do is useless - worrying about nothing, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Wen Chao laughed: "Until now, you have not even confirmed whether that world is true or false. How can you confirm the authenticity of the Star-Swallowing Demon God?"
Pan Long was stunned.
"No matter whether that world is true or false, when you make a choice in the face of problems, you do it by 'defending it as true'. Then, no matter whether the Star Demon God is true or false, it does not prevent you from deciding what to do according to 'defending it as true'. Isn't this the same truth?"
Pan Long opened his mouth wide, blinked his eyes several times, and finally showed a sudden smile.
The clouds that had been lying in his heart for several months finally dissipated.
"You're right!" He nodded excitedly and smiled with satisfaction. "Like you said, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. What's important is that I should do this when facing such a thing!"
"I do what I want to do, I do what I am willing to do, and as for the truth or falsehood, what should I care about?" he said loudly, "In fact, even this world may not be true. Maybe I am actually lying on the hospital bed, waiting to take my last breath, and losing time in the hallucination of death... But that doesn't matter at all!"
"I am such a person. When faced with such things, I make such choices. This is like this, this is like this, and this is forever!"
Wen Chao nodded with a smile, very satisfied.
"You are indeed better than us. It took us many years to figure this out, and you figured it out in your twenties."
Pan Long smiled: "Hey, don't underestimate people. Although I am only in my twenties in this life, I have lived more than 100 people in my previous life."
"Then why don't you look like an old man at all?"
"Don't you know that physical condition will affect the endocrine system and then the mental state?" Pan Long smiled, "Oh, this is the research result from the early 22nd century. You both are from the early 21st century and don't know this."
"Is the future awesome?" Wen Chao raised his middle finger.
"I am not a future person, we are actually the same generation. But I have lived much longer than you." Pan Long smiled, "Look at you, you have lived for more than a thousand years, but I didn't see you as a dusk as an old man."
"I'm just an AI program..."
"Your level of AI can have human rights even if you follow the law."
"Ah? Is there really like me in the future?"
"Not yet, but the relevant legislation has been completed." Pan Long introduced, "I went through a few years ago and completed legislation on strengthening artificial intelligence. The legislation has determined several points. The first is to avoid manufacturing artificial intelligence with independent personality as much as possible; the second is that this level of artificial intelligence has human rights and can register a set of bodies for myself; the third is that the maker of artificial intelligence is also a guardian. If artificial intelligence commits a crime, the maker will bear the responsibility of the guardian... roughly this is the case."
"Ah? Are there any three laws of robots?"
"No, robots are also humans. They have independent human rights, of course they cannot force them to obey or even sacrifice." Pan Long asked, "Is it easy to create strong artificial intelligence? It's not easy. At least it's much harder than having children. Since children have human rights, why don't strong artificial intelligence do not have strong artificial intelligence? Your idea is one of the famous ideological fallacies in the pre-federal era."
Wen Chao was a little confused: "I can't imagine... I'll make it a pong, is this human rights?"
"Don't look down on strong artificial intelligence so much! Every strong artificial intelligence requires huge resources to be created. Maintaining their operations, consuming more energy than feeding hundreds of people... There is no reason that you can create it casually!"
"What if...there is more progressive in the future, can strong artificial intelligence be created at will?"
Pan Long smiled: "I have never seen such technology before, but on the eve of my time travel, I can create a person at will - and I have no human rights because of this."
"Clone?"
"Cloning technology-based genetic tuning for humans."
"Will you still have to fight a universe war?"
"...Why do you always think we are going to fight? There are several adjustments in my great-grandson. As for younger generations, there are more adjustments. Isn't it a good thing to be born with more talent?"
"Don't you think there is any problem?"
"Why do you think there is something wrong?"
