Chapter 151 Chapter 7 The Future of Robots

"What happened?" Tang Long, who returned to Datang, immediately asked Ling Li. Seeing that Yuna and Xing Ling had all come, he knew it was a big deal.Because of this, Tang Long forgot to put Tell Xingling about the Xingling Guard. "My lord, with the emperor of the Tiele Empire in the Crescent Moon Starfield as the leader, a total of thirty-five factions in the three starfields of Crescent Moon, Qinghai, and Mantan have formed an anti-Tang alliance." Ling Li said as she spoke. Play the collected data on the screen. "Anti-Tang alliance? Uh, this anti-Tang refers to our Great Tang?" Tang Long asked in surprise.

What are you doing against us?We didn't offend them. " Ling Li sighed, and said: "It's not that we offended them, but they are afraid of us. Who told us to have a fortress that can jump in space? Besides, we Has not been in contact with any force.Coupled with our consistent aggressiveness, it's no wonder they don't regard us as enemies. " Tang Long nodded while looking at the information on the screen, and suddenly he jumped up: "More than 50,000 ships? Thirty-five faction alliances, there are so many warships?" Other people who saw this also showed shocking expressions. The 50,000 warships are five times the current strength of Datang.

Ling Li nodded and said, "Yes, originally they couldn't have so many warships, but in the past one or two years, the increase in battles between various forces has increased their military strength. , So now, they add up to more than 50,000 warships.And where the intelligence shows, these thirty-five forces are buying and manufacturing warships wantonly, and when they are ready , this figure is probably going to be doubled. " "Double, wouldn't that mean we have 100,000 warships? I can't imagine that so many warships are used to oppose us. Is it because our foreign policy has failed too much?" Tang Long

Shaking his head wryly. "Yes, since we established our influence, we have either grown our economy or strengthened our armaments. We have never conducted diplomacy at all. It can be said that we don't have a single friend in the chaotic galaxy." Ling Li sighed. Hearing this, everyone remembered that there was no Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the government department, and thought that Datang did not have a friendly country, and they all sighed helplessly. Tang Long nodded and said, "Yuna, set up a foreign ministry, and you will be the foreign minister for the time being. We will replace it when we find a suitable candidate."

Yuna nodded. Although she is the Minister of Finance, she is equivalent to the Prime Minister. There is no Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and she also has a responsibility. Others also agree with this appointment. After all, when it comes to dealing with outsiders, the elder sister Yuna is more suitable. "When will the battleship we purchased arrive? We can't do it unless we step up training!" Jess said. "There are still two weeks." Yuna replied. Hearing this, everyone prayed in their hearts that the Anti-Tang Alliance would not attack at this time. "My lord, do we also need to expand our army?" Sally asked worriedly.Hearing that the enemy has ten times as many troops as his own, no general is not worried.

"No, even if we buy 100,000 warships, we still don't have enough manpower to control them. If all recruits are used, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and the combat effectiveness will not be as good as it is now. "Li Wu, who is in charge of personnel, reminded, and at the same time passed the personnel information to everyone. "Could it be that we just compete against the enemy one-to-ten?" Elsie, who has a fiery personality, jumped up and shouted. It seems that the position of Minister of Education has not tempered her character. "It's impossible to expand the army. The formation of the sixteen brigades in front of us is our limit." Tang Long shook his head and said after reading the information that Li Wu handed over.

"Then what should we do? With only 16 brigades, how can we compete with an army of 100,000? And now half of the warships have not arrived, although the personnel of each brigade rely on the current Warship training, but the proficiency can't keep up. "Sally frowned. "Yes, the most important thing is that there are not enough veterans. If there are hundreds of millions of veterans, we only need to buy warships." Elsie sighed. sigh. Seeing everyone's frowning faces, Xing Ling couldn't help saying: "Uh, well, if we don't have enough manpower, can we use robots?"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, Yuna frowned and said, "But even if we use robots, it's impossible for us to make so many robots in such a short period of time." Ling Li immediately said excitedly: "Don't worry, all the battles of the Silver Eagle Empire are done by robots, we can buy them from them." Now, everyone started to discuss happily, how many robots and warships to buy. Elsie said even more excitedly: "With the robot army, we will be invincible! And these robots don't need to be maintained, paid for wages, medical insurance, or Retirement has many benefits. "

"No! We can't treat robots as tools!" Tang Long stood up abruptly and shouted. Hearing this, everyone froze for a moment, and then fell silent. Only Elsie muttered: "If you don't treat robots as tools, then what do you think of them? Besides, aren't all your guards now robots? Have you ever paid wages?" Give them? " Tang Long, who was originally dignified, immediately lowered his head speechlessly after hearing Elsie's words. Xingling knew that Tang Long couldn't bear it, but the immediate crisis was about survival. Although he wanted to comfort Tang Long, he didn't know how to speak, so he walked up to Tang Long and held down Tang Long's hand.

Shoulder. Tang Long turned his head to look at Xing Ling, his eyes that were a little dull, suddenly became energetic, he stood up, and said with a smile: "What are you beautiful sisters thinking? I say no We can treat robots as tools, but we can treat them as soldiers. "We put all the robots that belong to us into files, so that they can be promoted for meritorious deeds, punished for crimes, have holidays, monthly salaries, and Housing, if the body is damaged, we will repair it.Anyway, all the treatment of robots is the same as that of our human soldiers, isn't that all right? "

Hearing Tang Long's unimaginable words, everyone was stunned, but Sally was the first to react and said with a smile: "Yes, since the robots are fighting for us, then they will fight for us." Should enjoy the treatment of soldiers. " Jess also nodded and said, "As long as we treat them as fighters, then we don't have to worry about anything." Ling Li said with a smile: "My lord, this method is good. I heard that the soldiers of the Silver Eagle Empire have a hostile attitude towards robots. According to the method of the lord, I believe that our soldiers will not treat robots. What complaints do the robots have, after all the robots fight with them.I propose a one-to-one ratio of robots to human soldiers, and let them develop bonds of affection on the battlefield. " Tang Long nodded fiercely: "Yes, in this way, they have formed a deep friendship. I think I was saved by a robot when I was in the training camp." Thing yourself in the robot battleground. Hearing what Tang Long said, including Elsie who didn't quite approve of Tang Long's method, they all looked at Tang Long with caring expressions.As for Feng Bing and Feng Shuang, they even use a method that can be said to be Looking at Tang Long with an affectionate expression. However, Elsie immediately said soberly: "You know, the monthly salary of a private soldier is 500 Wulai coins, and after the last military system reform, the salary was tripled, that is to say, a private soldier Soldiers, the government needs to pay 1,500 Vurai coins a month. If the ratio of robots to soldiers is one to one, how can we pay this huge salary? " Hearing this, everyone looked at Yuna again, Yuna smiled and said: "Although the money is stored in the robot's military card, you think the robot will take the money out Go shopping?So this money is actually the same as no expenditure.Although because of credibility issues, and in order not to be said that we are "say one thing, do another, even robots are cheated." ' So no matter what we do, we cannot deduct the money. "But we can borrow it for use and investment at any time. I believe the robots won't protest that we borrowed their money for emergency." After Yuna finished speaking, everyone showed "You are cruel enough" expression. "So my lord, how many warships and robots do we need to buy?" Sally asked. "Ask Yuna to see how much money you can spare and buy as much as you can, but be careful not to damage the development of the national economy. To buy a warship, go to Chen Kang and buy a thousand ships , there are 10,000 high-level transport ships full of supplies as a gift, who else to look for? " Tang Long laughed. Yuna nodded with a smile. Of course, she will not let the people's livelihood and economy be in crisis. The current economy has been created with great difficulty by herself, so how can I let it fall. "My lord, I want to remind you that the price of 10,000 advanced transport ships full of supplies is more expensive than 1,000 enhanced X-ships." Ling Li said. "Of course I know, but it's so cheap, should we send it out? If people are willing to give it away, we dare to take it. For other issues, we just need to be careful in secret." Tang Long said, winking at Ling Li.Ling Li knew that the lord had figured it out, so she nodded with a smile. "Okay, that's it. The border is strengthened, and the battleship fortress is moved to the Tianhe star field, and the army training will also be held there." Tang Long said, looking at Xingling and smiling Said: "Sister Xingling, I will trouble you about the network problems between the planets and the compilation of robot numbers into military and political computers." Xingling nodded, she noticed that Tang Long seemed to be leaving, and asked involuntarily, "You...where are you going?" "I'll go to Miss Tang Xing's star factory to see how many white whale warships I can bring back. Thank you for your hard work, sisters, next time I will buy some gifts for you sisters." Tang Long said. , and ran out with Feng Bing and Feng Shuang. Hearing Tang Long's last words, all the girls were smiling, secretly looking forward to the gift from Tang Long. In a certain factory of the Silver Eagle Empire, several imperial military officers are directing a team of robots onto the transport ship. An officer with a cigarette in his mouth said to the officer who was whipping the robot with an electric whip: "I said brother, what are you smoking these robots for? They don't feel pain, come on, Smoke a cigarette. "Speaking, he threw a cigarette in the past. The officer threw down the electric whip, lit a cigarette, walked over and smiled and said, "Although they don't feel pain, when they are beaten with the electric whip, they will groan unconsciously. It is caused by a short circuit of the power supply. " "What's the fun in this? It's fun to beat those slaves." The officer asked. "Slaves are more expensive than these robots. It's not that the nobles can't afford them. It is said that there is a factory that specializes in making a robot that screams when beaten. I heard that it is very popular among the people. .I tried it once, and let me tell you, the cry is just like a real person, it's cool to think about it. "The officer moaned happily. "Huh? Is there such a thing? When I have money, I will buy one to play with. By the way, where are these newly repaired combat robots going? The front line?" the officer asked. "Where is it for the front line? It was bought by a merchant. It is said that there will be some kind of robot fighting competition." "Oh, in this case, why don't you use the newly produced robots, but repair the bodies of these old robots?" "Well, who knows, anyway, the businessman's request is that the robot must have participated in a battle. He said that this kind of robot is different from the robot that was just made, and it is more similar to fighting. real fight. " "Different? What's the difference? Aren't they all made of steel?" "That's right, but this is the businessman's request. If he wants to do this, you can't do anything about it. Now most of the robots fighting on the front line have been replaced with new ones, and those robots that have fought If someone repairs it, then sell it to that businessman, which saves us a lot of maintenance costs. " "Hehe, I believe that those generals in the military department must have raised the price to sell them. Those of you who carry out orders will also benefit from it." "Hey, this is obvious. If not, who would work so hard to search all over the world for these old robots?" The officer said enviously: "The current battle has become like this. In addition to you can earn some extra money, we people can only receive some dead wages, and we also have to worry about accidentally offending our superiors." He was forcibly retired and went out to drink the northwest wind. " The officer threw away the cigarette butt, sighed and said, "Well, although soldiers won't die now, they have lost the blood and passion of the past." After entering the spaceship, he patted the officer on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, it's good to be able to make do with the money. Many soldiers who have been dismissed live without a meal." How about a meal, okay, I'm leaving. " TY0912 stood quietly among his companions, quietly looking around.Judging from the structure of the huge cargo hold where I am, this is a high-level transport ship, and there are not many in the Silver Eagle Empire. . This high-level transport ship is loaded with 9,899 robots just like itself. TY0912 has not found a brother who can communicate with him among so many partners, or There are some, but they dare not show it, just like themselves, afraid that human beings will find out that they have intelligence and be destroyed. TY0912 remembered a battle not long ago, where an intelligent partner saved the human commander of the battleship, but the commander ordered his own robots to take That partner was thrown into the melting furnace, and from that moment on, I have never discovered the existence of intelligent robots, and I have been more careful to hide the fact that I have intelligence. TY0912 thought quietly, he and a large number of partners were suddenly transferred from the front line to the rear, and he was still panicking that he would be discovered. However, I soon learned from the officer that my robots, which were made for combat purposes, were sold to a businessman, and that businessman hoped that his robots Robots fight each other and perform to earn money. Thinking of this, TY0912 felt a sense of sadness. I don’t know why, but I have a feeling of being betrayed. , and sad. But TY0912 knows that he can't resist, and he can't resist. This is the fate of a robot, a fate of being used as a tool. He didn't think about resisting, nor did he think about running away, he just quietly waited for that helpless fate to come. Counting from when the high-level transport ship took off, three days and twelve hours, thirty-four minutes and seven seconds later, the high-level transport ship landed. During these three days, TY0912 found four robots with the same intelligence as himself among the nine thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine robots, because the intelligent robot was thinking When, a weak electric wave will be emitted.Humans can't detect it, but these robots can know it immediately. TY0912 can confirm that these four intelligent robots also found him, but he didn't contact them, and they didn't contact him either. The hatch of the transport ship slowly opened, and the bright light became brighter as the hatch expanded. TY0912 didn't move, because there was no order, because the robots around him , none of them moved their bodies. "In order, run down one by one." A male voice sounded through the horn in the engine room, probably the pilot of this advanced transport ship. With the order, the robots in the front row started to run out of the hatch, and soon, TY0912 also ran out. Out of the hatch, TY0912 immediately discovered that this was a huge space port, but apart from a few soldiers in blue uniforms, there were only robots like themselves. TY0912 was taken aback when he saw the soldiers in the military uniform of the unknown country. He was sure that these humans were well-trained soldiers, and this space port was huge. The facilities are also perfect. According to the knowledge he has received, it is impossible for a businessman to have such soldiers and such a space port. So, was he bought by the army of a certain country?Thinking of this, TY0912 can't help but feel joyful, he really doesn't want to be a useless tool what. When queuing up and passing those human soldiers, TY0912 found that they were holding a laser engraving instrument and engraving a pattern for the robot.See these, TY0912 more It was sure that he was bought by the army. After TY0912 was engraved, he quickly scanned the pattern printed on his arm, and there was a blue flying dragon printed on the bottom, and a row of numbers printed on the surface: AX013456. It's my new serial number, TY0912 sighed. Soon, he followed the team out of the spaceport, entered one of hundreds of personnel carriers, and arrived at a military base. Standing in the large, dense and quiet playground, TY0912 felt a little weird, because a human second lieutenant was talking to tens of thousands of robots like himself. "From now on, you are a member of the Great Tang Kingdom and a member of the Great Tang Army. Remember your new numbers. Unless you have entered the Imperial Guard, otherwise, this is your military brigade The only number in your life. "As soldiers, our only criterion is to obey! Obey the orders of His Highness Tang Long, the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty! Obey the commander's orders! Obey the commander's orders!" Listen to this second lieutenant, TY0912, oh, it should be called AX013456 now, he doesn't have any special feeling, when he was in the Silver Eagle Empire, he was given an order, It is also obeying the orders of a certain prince, obeying the orders of the chief. The previous order will be changed to another prince when he is captured, while the latter order will not be changed.Now I have to obey Tang Long's order, This is no different from obeying the orders of a certain prince.But when the second lieutenant said the following words, AX013456 was stunned. "Because you are recruits, your military ranks are private soldiers. As long as your meritorious service is high enough, the rank of marshal is not a dream!" The second lieutenant said this, without realizing that his words What kind of impact will it have on the robot. Although, he didn't understand why he said these things they couldn't understand to the robot, but an order is an order, even if the following words are completely useless to the robot, he would Say it: "The salary of a private soldier is 1,500 Vurai, the monthly vacation is two days, the vacation is exempted during the war, the vacation is accumulated to the peacetime, and the medical care, retirement treatment……" AX013456 looked at the set of blue military uniform in his hand and a military card that recorded his own information stupidly. After a while, he woke up and looked around. This is an eight-person suite, and the four robots, including himself, are sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze. It seems that what the second lieutenant said and what he got are really amazing, not to mention intelligent robots like himself, even those ordinary robots are all for these things And the computer crashed. Salary, clothing, housing, holidays, identity certificates, these things are not needed by robots like myself, and I dare not imagine why the army of this country actually treats How good are robots?I feel that they seem to regard these robots as human beings. When AX013456 was still in a daze with his companions, four humans with the same rank as private soldiers walked in. They were obviously stunned when they saw these robots. They pushed each other's companions, and the last young boy was pushed to the front by them. After swallowing his saliva, the young man said: "I said, brothers, don't you Hurry up to change clothes and make the bed?You will be out of luck when the officer checks. " After finishing speaking, seeing the other three humans start to make their own quilts, they couldn't help shouting: "You bastards, push me out to talk, and start making the quilts without waiting for me!" , is it killing me? "As he spoke, he began to make his bed quilt. AX013456 froze for a moment, calculated on the computer, and felt that it would be better for him to do what the young man said.So he put on the Datang military uniform and started tidying up at the same time. bed quilt. And those three ordinary robots also started the work of changing clothes and quilts. "Wow! The robot is amazing. It can finish finishing faster than us, and it's perfect!" A young man looked at the quilt that AX013456 was finishing, surprised shouted. "What robots, didn't the officer say, don't call them robots? They will fight with us, that is, our comrades-in-arms, so we have to call them by their names!" A more mature soldier knocked the soldier's head hard. "Woo, I don't know their names," the soldier shouted, covering his head. "You don't know how to ask!" After the veteran soldier glanced at the soldier, he stretched out his hand to AX013456 and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Bing." AX013456 froze for a moment, carefully stretched out his hand, shook it gently, and said electronically: "Hello, I am AX013456." When Chen Bing shook hands with AX013456, several other soldiers also shook hands with several other robots. "AX013456? This is the number..." Chen Bing looked a little unnatural at first, but he quickly returned to normal and continued to ask: "Oh, this name is hard to pronounce, why don't we just call you A6 , By the way, A6 Where are you from? " "Silver Eagle Empire." AX013456 answered while paying attention to several other people, and found that they had already chatted with those robots. "Wow, the Silver Eagle Empire, I've heard that it is a very powerful country, but there is a civil war there, right? Have you participated in the battle? Tell me about it?" Chen Bing asked curiously. AX013456 nodded and began to talk about his fighting experience.He also didn't understand how he would start talking to Chen Bing, maybe it was because these people didn't discriminate against him. robot. Sally asked the officer beside her, "How are the boot camps?" The officer said respectfully: "Although some recruits are scared by the robot's appearance and dare not talk to the robot, most of the soldiers follow our strict orders. Next, start talking and laughing with these robots.After observation, they have slowly accepted the fact that robots are their comrades-in-arms. " "Well, very good. We must pay attention to the mentality of the soldiers. We must not allow things that discriminate against robots to happen. Once it happens, we will be punished as the crime of insulting our colleagues." Sally nodded, Said. "Yes!" The officer replied loudly, and then, looking at Sally, he showed an expression that he wanted to say something, but dared not say it. "Whatever you want to say, just say it." Seeing the officer's expression, Sally knew that he was hesitant to speak. "Yes, sir, I want to ask, why do you treat robots like this?" the officer asked courageously. "Do you know the wars caused by robot rebellion in history?" Sally asked back. "I know." The officer nodded. "So, do you know why the robots want to rebel?" Sally continued. "Because robots don't want to be enslaved by humans... Ah, the officer understands why he treats robots like this." The officer suddenly realized. "Well, it's good for you to understand, as long as we treat them with the same eyes, then even if they have intelligence, they will not hate us humans. Since the emergence of robots cannot be stopped Now, then we must minimize the harm of robots. "Sally said leisurely. "Understood, I must treat robots the same as other soldiers!" The officer, who fully understood the chief's painstaking efforts, decided to carry out this point after returning, which many colleagues did not understand. Order. On this day, after a hard training, AX013456, who was resting in the dormitory, was being pursued by Chen Bing to ask about the situation of the Silver Eagle Empire, and those few ordinary robots also interacted with humans these days. When I got down, I slowly became flexible, and I was no longer as rigid as before. AX013456 who is aware of this knows that if this continues, after a while, these three ordinary robots will evolve into intelligent robots. Ordinary robots can answer questions, observe their surroundings, and react differently depending on the situation, but the reason they are still ordinary robots is because they don't Think for yourself. Thinking about this factor is the biggest difference between intelligent robots and ordinary robots. The factor of emotion is a necessary condition for an intelligent robot to evolve into an intelligent robot. As for the factor of self-awareness, it is the only condition for an intelligent robot to evolve into a life. When they were manning the machine, a soldier ran in and shouted: "Get ready, the Imperial Guards are coming down to pick people up!" Upon hearing this, everyone, including the robot, yelled. Jumping up quickly, he quickly tidied up his clothes and bed quilt. As early as a few days ago, AX013456 knew that this Imperial Guard was the unit most eager to join in the whole army, and it was the Imperial Forest Army of the Supreme Commander of the Tang Dynasty. These robots can join such a force, but they still can't help but have the desire to be selected. Not long after they finished tidying up, the sound of assembly for drill sounded, and all the soldiers in the barracks quickly ran to the playground to gather.Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the company commander, the operation began. practice. Others may be so busy that they don't even have time to pay attention to who is beside them, but AX013456 can focus on the entire practice field.Soon he was amazed, for he saw several similar. Those few who had the rank of second lieutenant and were accompanied by the highest officer of the base to inspect and practice. Although they have the appearance of human beings, they are only covered with a layer of active skin.I can recognize them as my own kind at a glance, and they are still more advanced than myself Several times more intelligent robots. In this country, there are such advanced intelligent robots?And still a second lieutenant? Puzzled, AX013456 found that they were about to come to him, hurriedly restrained his consciousness, and began to concentrate on the practice. After the drill, all the people gathered in the drill field, and then the top officer of the base began to read the names. When Chen Bing and AX013456 were read, AX013456 clearly felt that the four Zhou shot the fiery, jealous, and envious light, and Chen Bing walked out of the team with an even more excited face, and ran forward with himself. AX013456 was in a daze while running, could it be that he was selected as a member of the Praetorian Guard? AX013456 didn't know what to do when faced with those smart robots who were more advanced than himself. When he saw Chen Bing and other people whose names were read, they all began to take off their military uniforms When the time comes, take it off as well. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the pattern printed on his arm was not unique to robots, but to all humans.Chen Bing's number is: AX006745. A high The super intelligent robot took out a small laser engraving instrument and began to re-engrave codes for these selected people. AX013456 found that the new pattern has not changed except for the number. Now his new code is SS0215689, while Chen Bing's is SS0215688. The other one The intelligent robot, after the colleague was busy recoding the code, said aloud: "From now on, you are a member of the Imperial Guard. As a member of the Imperial Guard, in addition to obeying orders, The most important responsibility is to protect our Supreme Commander - His Highness Tang Long! " "Swear to protect His Royal Highness Tang Long!" SS0215689 shouted after everyone. He began to wonder why His Highness Tang Long was able to make the intelligent robot so loyal.
