Chapter 462 Evaluation
After Chang Yue's shocking words were uttered, the entire conference room seemed to be frozen by invisible frost in an instant, and the atmosphere became heavy and tense.
Every molecule in the air seemed to stand still, with only the sound of everyone's heartbeats echoing in their ears.
The director of the 91st Area Special Management Bureau was the first to break the suffocating silence, his voice filled with confusion and shock: "Do you really understand the implications of your proposal?"
Chang Yue looked directly at the director, his eyes firm and unflinching. He repeated with emphasis, "I know very well. I am talking about the complete destruction of Prometheus."
"The Prometheus Project has consumed countless global treasures and brought together the wisdom and dreams of mankind!"
Another angry director slammed the table and stood up, his voice echoing in the spacious hall, "That is our light of hope, the seed that will lead humanity into the future."
"That's right. We always learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward. This is what makes humanity great. Small mistakes can't hold us back!"
There were constant voices of opposition and people could not accept such a proposal.
Prometheus, a project that took decades and consumed countless resources, carries the expectations of China and even the entire world, both human and alien.
Just like its name, it brings fire and future to all life.
After the first two successful trial runs, both humans and aliens witnessed the impact that terrifying computing power had on the world.
After two trial runs, world science and technology has taken a big step forward.
So both humans and aliens willing to coexist with humans believe that this is a path to peace and prosperity.
However, Chang Yue came up with a shocking idea: to extinguish the flame of hope himself, erasing the hope and future of mankind...
"You are all wrong!"
Chang Yue's roar was like thunder, shaking the entire building. His sharp eyes swept over everyone.
"This is not the path to the future! We've tried, but now, we've failed! Do you understand? Humans do learn from failure, but we'll also make mistakes again and move forward again in new attempts! But no matter what, this should be based on the premise that we control the future ourselves!"
He took a deep breath, his voice firm and resolute. "We tried hard. We wanted to create a better world, to bathe every corner of it in the light of technology! But we failed! Now, this tool no longer points to the future; it threatens our future! It's forcing us to surrender everyone's future! Do you understand the difference?!"
After a brief silence, Nidhogg stood up, looked at Chang Yue with a deep gaze, and asked a sharp question: "Director Chang, I want to ask you, would you rather trust Prometheus or that alien named Li Muhan?"
Chang Yue looked directly at the man with black hair and blue eyes.
Then he nodded firmly.
"I believe in every human being, every alien species, and I believe that we will make the right choice."
"I have no further questions."
Nidhogg sat down on the chair.
The woman from the World United Special Management Bureau looked up at the time and then announced solemnly.
"The discussion time is over. Prometheus won't give us any more time. Let's vote now."
Two options, Agree and Destroy, appeared on the screen, and both options showed 0 at the moment.
"Hmph, even if we vote, it's to decide whether to hand over that alien named Li Muhan to Prometheus, not whether to destroy Prometheus."
The Director of District 91 sat back in his chair, a look of indifference on his face.
But when he saw the voting topic, his face was filled with horror.
[This vote will determine whether to completely destroy Prometheus, either in favor of destruction or against it. The voting period is one hour.]
"In fact, ten minutes ago, the World United Special Management Bureau received an internal contact from Prometheus. The contact was not a specific person, but all the Special Management Bureau representatives currently in Prometheus."
The woman glanced at the crowd and saw the confusion on their faces.
"According to the on-site assessment reports sent back by all the special management bureaus of the countries currently in Prometheus, everyone unanimously requests the destruction of Prometheus."
The director of Area 91 was horrified.
How is it possible...that guy Smith also...want to destroy Prometheus?
"I'm very sorry that the voting time is so short, but Prometheus could trigger a greater disaster at any time. We must make a decision quickly. If the opposition outweighs the support, then we will directly adopt Prometheus's suggestion and hand Mr. Li Muhan over to Prometheus. Now, please start voting."
drop--
The number of votes against began to rise first, with District 91 and its country both voting against it.
Just an alien... Just an alien... If sacrificing an alien can bring about the advancement of human technology.
Why not...
Yes, most countries probably share this idea.
The number of votes against began to rise continuously.
The director of District 91 also felt a little more at ease.
"Everyone."
Lu Shan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up.
"I'm so sorry, I wanted everyone to express their opinions before showing you this, and now... I think it's time."
Lu Shan glanced at Chang Yue, and they nodded to each other.
Finally, Lu Shan looked at the woman from the Joint Special Management Bureau on the podium.
"Ms. Saqiu, please show everyone the assessment report from the Prometheus Special Management Bureau representative."
The woman named Saqiu bowed slightly to Lu Shan, and then under her operation, the big screen switched to the interior of Prometheus.
This was the first time that everyone saw the video of the interior of Prometheus after the communication was interrupted.
When the first picture appeared, people were already horrified.
The video shows the Prometheus D-section corridor under surveillance.
At this moment, there were countless broken limbs and arms piled here, and blood and internal organs were all over the ground.
"This... this is fucking..."
"Is this... hell..."
Some members of the Special Management Bureau have begun to frown.
The next scene made them even more shocked.
They saw that the androids who once obeyed their orders were slaughtering the surviving humans in the institute.
Three researchers hid in the cabin, but several bionic humans forced the hatch open, followed by screams of men and women.
In another scene, a man and a woman were hugging each other and crying, and three androids had approached them.
After separating the two, the androids tore their bodies apart and finally hung the heads of the research couple at the door.
Not just humans.
Some aliens with fighting ability could not escape the clutches of the poison.
At the beginning, some aliens were able to repel the androids with their own strength.
But when the latest model of "Eden" joined the battle, the deadlock was completely broken.
The core of Eden can perfectly carry the computing power of Prometheus.
They can analyze the weaknesses of all aliens almost instantly.
An alien from the Middle East could control the power of fire and sand, but he had his throat torn out by two Edens, who then poured the sand into his own body. His death was extremely horrific.
The alien named Yeti in the Special Management Bureau of Area 91 was even more miserable.
It relies only on its own strength.
He has no other special abilities, and his strength is no match for Eden's superalloy body.
Leia and Torres could not do anything to him, but when an Eden arrived, the situation of the battle changed instantly. Yeti punched it, but was hit back by it and his shoulder blade was shattered.
Then there was a brutal massacre...
No one said another word. They all watched everything in front of them quietly, even though it was a video.
But judging from the time, they happened just over ten minutes ago...
That is, this is what is happening in Prometheus right now.
Then, the camera switched again.
Everyone discovered that representatives from the special management bureaus of various countries were gathered in the terminal room connected to Prometheus.
Standing in the front are Mo Qiao, Smith and Jörmungandr.
And they didn't talk much.
Just one sentence.
"...After evaluation by all the Special Management Bureau representatives on site, Prometheus has extremely serious destructive tendencies. We request that it be classified as an alien. The disaster level is: world destruction. The danger level is: highest. Recommendation: Destroy Prometheus immediately."
