Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 14 The World Under Dyson Principles

Xiang Shan is a magical person.

In Yuki's eyes, this man named Xiang Shan is the most amazing person in the world.He knows a lot of things that Yuki, Mom, and even the mayor and Dr. Schultz don't know.But on the other hand, he would always believe in some outlandish claims for no reason.

For example, he would ask Yuki to address him as "Master".

It is said that this title contains a kind of "contract" between knights.

For example, he really believes that "we may be living in a super-large illusion."Not only that, he also specially invented a ritual to test this kind of thing.

And the core component of that instrument is actually a greasy and dirty machine.

But Xiang Shan looked really serious.After the demonstration, he had Yuki take the machine apart and reassemble it.After repeating this five times, it was confirmed that Yuki could still remember the structure of the machine even after he was not assisted by the chip, and then he stopped.

The next morning, Xiang Shan took Yuki back to the small town.

But this time, Yuki's cabin has an unexpected visitor.

It turned out to be the mayor.

"Mr. Mayor." Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Yog... No, it's time to call you 'Shan'." The biological part of the mayor's face showed a normal smile: "Let me see how you are doing here."

His gaze kept on looking at Will's remaining prosthetic body.

Xiang Shan sent Yuki away, and then asked a little strangely: "How do you know..."

"The doctor is my nephew. I heard that you bought some parts from him, so I thought you would assemble the prosthetic body yourself." The mayor smiled and said, "I'm curious! How is your prosthetic body doing?"

Xiang Shan shook his head: "This matter is too difficult, it's just a beginning."

Seeing that Xiang Shan didn't put his brain into the dog-shaped prosthetic body, the village chief was inevitably a little disappointed.

He knows that the prosthetic bodies of these warriors have their own design concepts in them, and many parts and structures in them match each other.It is actually very bad to change things casually by yourself.

In his mind, it would be the best result for Xiang Shan to just hot-swap his brain and put it into a dog-shaped prosthesis.

However, thinking that Xiang Shan might be a "chivalrous man", the mayor felt that he might not be suitable to intervene.

He shook his head and asked, "Do you have any difficulties in this matter?"

——Is this... a gesture of favor?Or just for business?

Xiang Shan thought for a moment, and tried to ask: "I don't have a suitable shell now..."

Naturally, the shell of this dog-shaped prosthetic body cannot be directly used on Xiang Shan's body.Xiang Shan felt that he should also know how to use bionic boxing, but bionic boxing is not used for fighting, and he is not used to using bionic boxing either.

But Xiang Shan really needed a shell, at least to avoid dust.The shell can also somewhat avoid the observation of others.At least Xiang Shan felt that with a shell, he could prevent himself from being knocked out of the battery by the enemy's first move.

Besides... It was luck to survive Will Granddog.

He also really needs a skull cap that matches the fractured opening of his forehead.

No matter how strong the brain-computer barrier is, it cannot meet the standard of alloy armor.Exposing one's brain to the outside to fight is a bit too exciting.

However, Xiang Shan's skull seemed to be made of a relatively rare alloy, so it was still too difficult to restore it to its original state.

The mayor thought for a moment: "This is not difficult. There is a 3D furnace in the town. If you can report the specific parameters to me, I can make a simple one—of course, there is nothing very good in the remnants of the sublimation war." materials, even warship materials.”

Xiang Shan hesitated: "Then charge..."

"Don't look outside like this, Shan." The mayor patted Shan's wire-like shoulder: "You saved all of us anyway. I can still afford this little reward."

--Really?

Xiang Shan doubted this.When he went to buy parts, he could feel Dr. Schultz's tentativeness.Dr. Schultz is the mayor's nephew.The town interest group does not seem to fully regard him as a "savior".

Is the mayor really that good?

"I haven't asked you yet, Shan. Are you used to living in Recycling Town? Ever since you were scooped up by Yuki..."

Xiang Shan raised his hand and interrupted the mayor: "Mayor, I am still very grateful to this town. You were there when Yuki woke me up. I know you saved me. I remember all of this. You It can be regarded as my savior, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, if there is anything I can do, I will try my best to do it."

The mayor stared at Xiang Shan, as if thinking about something.But Xiang Shan didn't know how to read the eyes from the camera.In the end, the village chief seemed to remember something, and nodded: "I understand, then I'll just say it straight. In half a month at most, the welfare officer will come..."

Xiang Shan was taken aback: "So good? There are social benefits?"

"When is there no social welfare? It is only natural to give social welfare after collecting taxes!" The mayor was also taken aback: "Why don't you even know this?"

Xiang Shan never imagined that this organizational structure seems to have completely regressed back to the era of feudal society, and there is actually the concept of "social welfare".He scratched his head: "Strange...how did I forget...is this important?"

The mayor shook his head like an old man worried about his nephew: "You forgot so many things, what can you do..."

Xiang Shan asked, "What does a welfare officer do?"

"What else can I do? The tax officer collects the genetic tax, and then half a month later, the lord will calculate the taxes of various places, and then the welfare officer will announce the benefits according to the tax..."

Following the mayor's introduction, Xiang Shan realized that the so-called "welfare" was actually very different from what he thought.

Here, the so-called "welfare", like "taxes", are babies.

It's just that these babies are not adopted, but the population flowing out of the human gene pool.

There is nothing to say about the "quality" of these babies. The most important thing is that they can effectively prevent the homogeneity of blood in various settlements.

In general, the amount of the benefit is 120 percent of the tax

If ten babies are taken away, twelve will be returned.

These babies are then handed over to those who are willing to raise them.

It's just that the caregivers can't give the boys their own last names, or change the "middle name" for the girls.

The last name marks the Y chromosome, and the middle name marks the mitochondria.It is precisely because of this need that a "family" can be established.

The first article of Dyson's principle is that "all human beings have an obligation to maintain human genetic diversity." Refusing this obligation will automatically lose the asylum of civilization.And a considerable part of the "name" is the label of "genetic diversity".An extension of Dyson's principle prohibits people from changing names indiscriminately.

but……

Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "With such harsh conditions, there are people who are willing to adopt children?"

Humans want to raise young children because genes endow organisms with the instinct to "continue the genetic information".In some human cultures, "adopted son" can be used as a continuation of the cultural sense of adoptive parents, inheriting honors such as "family name" or something--Xiang Shan's impression, it should be like this.

But now...he is neither of his own blood nor allowed to inherit his name?

The mayor was a little strange: "Why don't you want to? It's a benefit for family members to help each other?"

"Fufu... oh... I probably understand."

Perhaps for the "parents" of this era, raising children is really just a "welfare"?In this era, parents don't need to worry about "education", because "knowledge" will be implanted in the brain during the first brain modification.And the cyberman is indeed easier to support than the natural person in various senses...

Yulia also seemed to watch Yuki from the window only at night.

But after trying to understand this level, Xiang Shan felt that this era was even more awkward.In his opinion, Yulia's love for Yuki should be consistent with the love that existed in the past era, but...

The mayor was a little strange: "Is this strange? Shan, where did you come from in the past? That place is very different from ours?"

Xiang Shan shook his head, and the voice generator simulated a wry laugh: "I don't remember."

The mayor sighed: "Anyway, in half a month, the welfare officer will come to this town. However, this year, the tax official did not collect all the taxes... The next thing depends on luck. Maybe nothing will happen. Happening, it is also possible that ... we will temporarily lose our 'sanctuary' for a period of time."

After waking up for so long, Xiang Shan probably understood what the so-called "protection" was.

If interpreted using the terminology of the old generation, "civilized asylum" includes the "right to life", "right to health", "property rights" and other "personal personality rights" and "economic, cultural and social rights" in the past.

Xiang Shan still doesn't know what is ruling the world now, but many other political rights don't exist for everyone.Therefore, it cannot be said that "civilized asylum" is equal to "complete human rights".

People who have lost the protection of civilization have no protection of all rights.

Anyone can treat those who have lost the protection of civilization in any form.

And if those who lose their asylum continue to hurt those who have asylum, they will become "thugs", so the lord is obliged to eliminate those thugs.

However, the Dyson principle has never stipulated that "to what extent it must be eliminated".In this regard, the lord's discretion was very wide.

Xiang Shan once felt that the so-called "Dyson principle" might be an idiot thing developed after "manage less is manage well" to the most extreme direction.

"If the lord is in a good mood, a thug may be fine. But it may be killed by the lord just after losing his asylum?"
