Chapter 147 Vertical social class

"The order is to eliminate idealistic things..."

President McCree remembered the time when he asked the head of the artificial intelligence technology department.

The other party told him that artificial intelligence is very obedient. There is currently only one situation where artificial intelligence will make arbitrary decisions, and that is related to matters related to the elimination of idealistic things.

There is an advanced civilization that has modified the original instructions of artificial intelligence, and their current technology has no way to change this instruction.

But, what exactly is this idealistic thing?
So far, both superpowers are absolutely materialistic, otherwise their technological level would not have developed so fast.

And the emergence of idealism has never been heard in other small countries.

Maybe there is, but it's just some nonsense, there's no way to prove it, there's no way to falsify it, it doesn't make any sense.

If the artificial intelligence unauthorized incident this time is also due to idealism.

So can it be said that artificial intelligence came into contact with spiritual things in this battle?
As if something suddenly occurred to him, McCree made a phone call and called all his staff over.

Different from President McCree’s thinking, Portman’s side of the Capitol has been quarreling over whether to continue using robots.

Lawmakers representing interest groups of robot manufacturing companies have flatly denied this incident of out-of-control artificial intelligence, or that the robots were hacked.

"Robots have penetrated into every aspect of our society, and evidence must be used when doing things. There is currently no evidence to prove that the robots we produce have safety issues. There is another hidden story in this matter. I believe that as the investigation deepens, the truth will be revealed. .”

How is it possible to send all the robots back to the factory for maintenance and inspection?How much money will this cost?

Anyway, just re-investigate the incident, and then just give the investigators some money and let them change the investigation results.

If they are unwilling to change, you can give them a big truck and take them "home".

"Instead of discussing inspections of previous robots, it is better to improve the production standards of robots to avoid similar accidents from happening again."

A member of the military interest group also spoke.

Robots are a big deal. If the military doesn’t buy robots, how can it get so many kickbacks?

Since the large-scale purchase of robots, half of the military's funds have been used to buy robots, and the funds have increased several times in successive years.

"There is no need to deny it anymore. It has been determined that the robots in the capital of Quillak are out of control, that is, the system has been invaded."

"Today it's just a war robot and a group of drones killing each other, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Will there be a situation in the near future where all the robots will point their guns at us? I think the budget for robots should be reduced. , focusing on the development of manually operated weapons!"

The congressman representing the old military-industrial interest group took the opportunity to say.

Since the country has completely focused on the development of robots, these large military-industrial groups that produce various types of manually operated weapons have suffered a lot of losses.

Now that the robot has a problem, it must not be attacked harshly.

"No, robots must be developed. The problem now is just that our development is not perfect enough."

A member of parliament representing the interests of financial conglomerates said.

"I also believe that we should not stop eating because of choking. The development of robots is a general trend. Since the use of robots, how many times has our country's economy doubled?"

"It was just a time when the robot lost control, and it did not cause irreparable damage. What we want to think about is how to solve the problem, not how to ban the use of robots."

Congressmen representing the interests of the service industry, agriculture, high-tech, and industrial company consortiums all expressed the same idea.

Robots absolutely cannot be banned for this reason.

Since the introduction of robots, many consortiums have laid off all their employees.

It's great to use robots. You don't have to stop working overtime every day, and you can save a lot of salary.

As for too many layoffs and too many idle people in society, which has led to a decline in social stability and thus threatened the regime?
It doesn't matter.

Just slice the entire social class vertically.Let men and women be pitted against each other, men and women against gender minorities, races from different civilizations pitted against each other, people with different skin colors pitted against each other, people with different religions pitted against each other...

In short, we just cannot make them realize that they are actually all proletarians, and then unite collectively to target them.

Then no matter how chaotic this society is, the ruling class can still be as stable as Mount Tai. You even want to buy some Coke and popcorn and watch them fight each other.

In the embassy of the Human Federation in the Republic of Kuilak, Sodaun was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting for something.

Not long after, there was a noise outside the embassy door. In the blink of an eye, the daughter had already pushed her father to the ground with a flying swoop.

Looking at Sophia who was full of scars, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He just hugged her tightly, choked with sobs and couldn't say a word.

Qin Xu did not disturb them, but just removed the mimicry equipment on his body and came to Chen Xiaomeng's side.

"Have you made everything clear to him?"

"He said that he is willing to accept all our arrangements, as long as he can see his daughter again and let us ensure her safety."

Chen Xiaomeng answered.

The task is completed, and the next thing has nothing to do with Qin Xu.

The Intelligence Department will send someone to contact Sodaun and help him build the intelligence network of the human unity here.

As for Sophia.

There is a high probability that they will be taken over to the human unity, firstly as a hostage, and secondly, to reassure the other party.

After all, after this incident, the other party no longer had any hope for his country, and just wanted to send his daughter out safely as soon as possible.

The subsequent construction work of the intelligence network will be carried out centered on Sodaen.

Just when Qin Xu thought the matter had come to an end.

The debts caused by the previous misuse of 550C will eventually have to be repaid.

550C once had the directive "to completely eliminate idealistic things".

The artificial intelligence required to manage personal data in the capital of Quillak transferred Sodaun's personal information to him without authorization.

It seemed that he was unaware of the situation, but by chance, he was monitored by Portman.

If you use hacking methods to check the information, you will not be investigated. If you do this, you will step on Portman's sensitive nerves.

So Sodaun, the front-office puppet, has actually been standing in the center of the storm from the beginning.

And the human unity has absolutely no self-awareness about this.

He even praised Qin Xu for how well he completed the mission, and Qi Zhengxi directly promoted him from a mid-level MI[-] agent to a senior agent.

I have no idea how big of a trap Qin Xu has created for the human unity.

Portman really didn't know who did it this time, but he knew that it must be related to a man named Sodaun.

Qin Xu and Sophia are hidden and cannot be found by CIA agents.

But Sodaun's whereabouts are public.

He entered the Human Complex embassy, ​​and Portman would know this through just a casual search.

Therefore, the CIA agents have now disguised themselves as ordinary people and arrived at the gate of the Human Complex embassy pretending to be tourists.

This time they came with the president's order, focusing on investigation. They should not be high-profile, let alone alert others.
