NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"But the question is, what reason do we have to take resources away from companies?"

"At least I can't think of any reason that would make those stingy CEOs give up their resources."

Green pondered for a moment and said, "They're all profit-driven businessmen. Unless you're willing to pay a high price, given their nature, they'd rather let the milk and grain rot in their warehouses than give a single cent back to the government."

"I see. This is very pertinent advice. Thank you for your insights. I will take them into consideration."

Anik smiled slightly, but his expression hidden behind the curtain seemed a little difficult to understand.

She paused briefly before continuing, "You should know that my judgments have always been based on humanity. The words 'humanity first' have been etched into my code of conduct since the moment the Ark was built."

"But over time, I've discovered that there are always some people who override the rules. In Ark, they are often wealthy and powerful people, most of whom hold important positions in government or business."

"And the orders these people issue sometimes make me wonder. Is the so-called supremacy of humanity about treating all humans equally, or should it favor those in power?"

"Before, I believed that favoring those in power would benefit the Ark's development. Indeed, this is true. Major corporations like Missilis, Tetra, and Elysium have contributed a lot of technology to the Ark. Their existence has indeed promoted the Ark's scientific progress. Thanks to the existence of these corporations, the Ark has been able to survive underground until now."

"But now, the situation has changed. The Ark is unstable within, and the Letchers are eyeing us from outside. Although we successfully repelled the Heretic-level Letchers like Nihilista, my analysis shows that the cause of this unrest is ultimately due to the Corporation's neglect of the Outer Rim, its citizens, and groups like Nikki."

"If the company could offer better salaries and be willing to openly disclose all the resources and technologies it has gathered, I believe this would be a great opportunity for Ark to appease public opinion and dispel negative sentiment."

"But they won't let you succeed so easily, will they?"

Green smiled and jokingly said, "In the Ark, the chaebol are the local tycoons. It's very difficult to get them to spit out what they have put into their mouths."

"Yes."

"That's why I believe that special times require special measures."

"If I can possess an armed force that even the three major corporations fear, I believe the Ark will become beautiful again under my management and become a true utopia for mankind."

Anik said calmly.

Although there was no fluctuation in her tone of voice.

But if CEOs heard this, they would probably slam the table and shout, "AI is rebelling!"

But Green would not make any comments about Alnwick.

After all, based on his understanding of Alnike, this super artificial intelligence life who cares about humans is not the mentally retarded AI in B-movies who always clamors about human rights and wants to fight humans to the death.

Because AI is extremely rational.

Everything she did was for the sake of humanity, even if her speech at this moment sounded like a complete ***, but who could refuse a "leader" who was completely fair and just and had the ability to do everything to perfection?

Therefore, it is meaningless to evaluate her approach. If you try to reason with AI, it will only tell you its underlying logic, which is like talking to a deaf person, and the main point is that there is no way for both parties to understand each other.

But even so, it is still conceivable that if one day in the future Alnik really takes over the Ark's armament technology, there will definitely be a group of people who worship her and respect her like a god.

"Anik, we love you!"

Anyway, it will probably be something like this.

Green shook his head, expelling all the thoughts from his mind. He then took out a cup of latte from his bag and threw it into Annick's hand: "You work so long every day, you should at least drink something, right?"

"I bought you some coffee on the way, but I don't know if you like it."

"Giving me a cup of coffee? That's confusing and bizarre. No one has ever given me a drink before, but it's interesting. Thanks, I'll take it."

Anik took the cup of coffee, and gracefully imitated human movements, inserting the straw into the cup and taking a gentle sip.

"Its strong and bitter taste and the caffeine it contains can stimulate the human central nervous system, heart, and respiratory system... The reason why coffee has become a drink for adults is because of its effects."

"But to me, it's just a simple drink?"

"I completely don't understand why you gave me a cup of coffee. After all, I'm an artificially intelligent life form and can survive without food or water. But occasionally tasting human beverages is nice. It gives me a whole new perspective."

"Thank you very much for your gift, Commander Green."

"You're welcome. This cup of coffee is worth it as it allows you to relax after work."

Green waved his hand and said, "By the way, the Nikki-shaped Alnic that you requested from Ark hasn't been built yet?"

"Yes, according to the agreed process, my body armor should be built within two weeks."

"But after the last attack, the Ark's researchers unanimously agreed that even with the current level of Nikki production at Ark, even with the most advanced technology, it still couldn't compete head-on with the heretics."

"Therefore, I am using public opinion to put pressure on major companies, forcing their researchers to recover the lost Nikki technology and strive to create a truly powerful and awe-inspiring body."

Anik answered honestly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked if he had gained anything: "Commander, you've been traveling on the ground for years, and according to my secret intelligence, you seem to have close ties with certain forces on the ground."

"If you gain something from that, we can communicate about the next step."

"As for the harvest... there is indeed a little, but not much."

"Anyway, I've gotten some information about heretics, but it's all just theoretical speculation. There's no evidence to prove these theories, so there's no need to explain."

"Understood. If you have any harvest next time, please come and let me know."

"Besides, before we leave, please allow me to give you a small gift as a return gift for the coffee."

Alnick held out his hand to Green.

Green was slightly stunned. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook hands gently with Anike. However, her palm was not as cold as he imagined. Instead, it gave people a warm feeling.

Seeing him foolishly extend his hand, Anik seemed to smile, then pointed her free hand at the phone in his pocket: "It's not a handshake, but please hand over your commander terminal."

"So... I thought we were going to shake hands before leaving."

"Shaking hands is the human way of greeting, but it doesn't have to be that way between you and me."

"Please be patient for a moment while I process your terminal."

"Program injection successful..."

"Commander, please check."

Green took back his terminal.

Ark has equipped each commander with a terminal specifically for receiving missions. It looks no different from a Subor game console, but its functions are more than just playing games.

In addition to accepting missions assigned by the Ark, the commander can also convey orders to his subordinate Nikki through the terminal. In addition, it has all the functions that an ordinary mobile phone should have. The only problem is that it is not as convenient to hold in the hand as a mobile phone.

"Anik, what did you do to my terminal?"

"I updated the version and installed a program that only I know about."

Anik explained softly, "Look, there's a new program called Anik on your terminal. Click it, and you'll see my clone."

"Her route uses my backup server, which is usually used to handle unimportant matters. You can ask her questions at any time, and she will answer most of your questions. Of course, the prerequisite is that I must know the answer to the question."

"Besides that, your terminal has one more function."

"That is to detect nearby life forms."

"This detection technology was originally developed to counter the invisible Letcher, but due to the Elvira particles, its detection range on the ground was only a few meters most of the time, so it was quickly abandoned."

"However, after my improvements, the detection range of this technology has now been expanded to 50 meters."

"Any potential living creature within fifty meters will be marked on the terminal. Letcher is marked with a black arrow, Nikki is marked with a blue arrow, humans are marked with a yellow arrow, and all hostile creatures are marked with a blood-red color."

"With it, I believe it will be easier for you to perform tasks on the ground."

"Oh, this is an amazing program, thank you, Annick."

Green played with the terminal for a while. The new functions installed by Anik for him were indeed useful. It even had alarm and reminder functions.

From now on, when you sleep on the ground, you don’t have to worry about being attacked by Lai Che at night.

"You are Welcome."

"You can go back and try again. I'm going to continue working."

"Okay, get busy."

Farewell Alnwick.

Green took the elevator all the way back to the outpost.

The commander's room was the same as usual. When he wasn't there, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. But when he was there, the commander's room was like a monster spawner, and it wouldn't take long for a few Nikkis to spawn.

But it's quite quiet today.

The Nikkis all seemed to have their own things to do, and there was no one else in the room except him.

"It's been a while since I've had any privacy. What should I do?"

"Would you like to take a look at my personal collection after such a long time?"

Green stretched himself and skillfully turned on his computer. He was about to click on the small website he had collected to browse his favorite topics, but he had a premonition that someone was watching him. This feeling was like a thorn in his back, making him feel uneasy.

"illusion?"

"Or is it haunted?"

After Green shuddered for a moment, he suddenly remembered the terminal program that Anik had customized for him.

Since we can detect any living things nearby, let's open it up a bit and take a look.

"So many people come in and out of my room every day. If it's haunted again... that would be unacceptable."

"open!"

The moment the screen is activated.

Green was startled.

There is clearly no one in the room, but there are several blue dots flashing on the screen. What's going on? Is it haunted?

284

Chapter 284: Rabi: How far is forever?

"what's the situation?"

"I just got this terminal from Alnick, and it's already broken?"

Green stood up from his chair with suspicion.

He held the terminal and carefully approached the bathroom, where a blue light was flashing continuously.

"Wait a minute, there seems to be steam in the bathroom?"

"..."

"I was wondering why the air seemed damp."

"Did someone just get out of the shower?"

Green gently opened the half-open bathroom door.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Anis, who was dizzy from taking a bath, climbing out of the bathtub with a dazed look on her face.

"Hey, Commander! Don't barge in! I'm taking a bath!"

When Anis saw that it was him who suddenly broke in, her face immediately turned red and she pulled the bath towel to cover her body.

"This is my bathroom, Anis."

Green rolled his eyes. "Really? I was wondering why there was a light flashing on the terminal. I thought it was haunted in broad daylight."

"Go ahead and soak in the bath for as long as you want. Just don't make yourself faint."

"Hey, got it! I'll be right out!"

Green closed the door with a click and walked towards the next blue light.

He looked around and found that the light was actually in his closet.

I quietly opened the closet and saw that it was Nian lying inside, holding her shotgun and sleeping quietly.

"Nian?"

"Master? How did you find me?"

"No... Let's put this question aside for now. Why are you lying here?"

"Master, I'm cultivating the firepower of my gun!"

Nien confidently held her shotgun and said, "I once saw someone claiming to be a firepower expert explain something. He said even a cold gun has a soul. If you can establish a good relationship with the gun's soul, there won't be any accidental discharges or bullet jams."

"And according to the video, if you want to build a good relationship with the Gun Spirit, it's best to meditate and communicate in a confined space. Master, your closet is a great place!"

"..."

"Okay, then you continue to meditate."
