Chapter 125 Civilization Stockholm Syndrome
In the outer area of Kukan Underground City, in a shanty house.
After taking out the diary left by the old predecessor, Chen Fan quickly gained the trust of the two resistance fighters.
In their view, Chen Fan, who has persisted for more than two hundred years, at the cost of several generations of sacrifice, and successfully implemented the awakening plan, is a real resistance fighter!
Although Chen Fan repeatedly denied this, the two still insisted on their own judgment, and even threatened to take Chen Fan back to the resistance headquarters to share their successful experience-not to mention the stubborn Liu Changhe, just talking about Lu Nan, Chen Fan has reason to suspect that he just wants to get out of this underground city by himself.
Of course, having said that, the two people's trust in Chen Fan is still real.
Chen Fan naturally did not waste this great opportunity, and got a lot of information from the two resistance fighters, including but not limited to the resistance's current combat plan and the resistance's current situation.
"Is this the resistance's plan?"
Chen Fan looked at the two resistance members in front of him with some incredulity: "Are you going to fight a tunnel war with the intelligent machine?"
Yes, it was a tunnel war.
According to Lu Nan and Liu Changhe, the rebels started this plan decades ago, and a large number of rebel fighters began to dig tunnels with the help of some simple mechanical devices.
There are two main reasons for choosing this strategy.
On the one hand, the size of intelligent machines is generally large, and powerful intelligent machines generally cannot enter tunnels.
On the other hand, the tunnel is deep. After many tests, the communication and network of intelligent machines underground will be greatly disturbed. After losing the network, the threat of these intelligent machines will be greatly reduced. For the rebels, this is undoubtedly a great home advantage! In
addition, a large number of tunnels also have other functions: on the one hand, they can conceal themselves, and on the other hand, the rebels can use them to secretly explore the distribution of those intelligent machines in various regions.
According to the rebels' plan, once the time is right, the rebels will jump out from the ground, catch the intelligent machines off guard, and thus regain their own territory.
It can even give full play to the advantage of running away if they can't win in the tunnel war!
But...
until now, sixty or seventy years have passed since the plan was proposed, and the rebels still haven't waited for the right time.
Chen Fan looked at Lu Nan and Liu Changhe in front of him helplessly, and didn't know what to say for a while.
After spending so much manpower and material resources, what he got in the end was just a large number of tunnels all over the place...
Isn't this a joke!
No wonder Hong Chengdong and others call the current resistance army a mole!
[You can't say that.]
Yi, who had remained silent, gave an evaluation in Chen Fan's heart: [This machine believes that the person who made this decision is a real talent.]
Chen Fan was confused for a while.
He couldn't understand the meaning behind Yi's words.
[According to the results of the deduction of this machine just now, if there was no tunnel warfare plan, the resistance army would have completely disappeared fifty years ago.]
[In other words, it was this tunnel warfare plan that saved the resistance organization.]
Hearing this, Chen Fan was shocked, and some enlightenment quickly emerged in his mind.
He seemed to understand a little...
No one can persist in fighting for decades or even hundreds of years without any chance of winning!
As Yi said, if there was no tunnel warfare plan that lasted for decades, the resistance army would probably have disappeared in the long river of history!
Chen Fan couldn't help but recall the current situation of the resistance army mentioned by Lu Nan just now - even with the tunnel warfare plan, sixty years ago, a few years after the tunnel warfare plan was proposed, there was still a huge disagreement within the resistance army.
Some of the resistance army gave up the struggle and turned to join the underground city and even the mechanical sect.
At that time, the mechanical sect had not yet exposed its ambitions, nor had it completely fallen out with the underground city.
The remaining "diehards" silently implemented the tunnel warfare plan that seemed to have a chance of winning but was actually futile.
Day after day, year after year, tunnels were dug underground on this planet, just for an illusory belief in resistance.
This is an extremely cruel thing!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan sighed deeply and asked the last question to Lu Nan in front of him: "Can you tell me about the current situation in the outside world?"
"The resistance, the underground city and the mechanical sect, what is the relationship between these three parties now?"
Hearing such a macro question, Lu Nan was embarrassed. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Commander, I am just an ordinary member of the resistance. This kind of thing..."
"It's okay, just tell me all the information you know, don't worry about saying it wrong."
Lu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "At present, the resistance is the weakest and the least noticeable."
"After all, we are just digging tunnels underground without fighting with the world, and we have hardly had any conflicts with other forces."
"As for the underground city..." Lu Nan's face was a little hesitant, "Strictly speaking, it should be called an underground fortress."
"When the war was defeated, the resistance proposed an awakening plan, trying to make a final struggle, while the remaining elites of the prosperous era proposed the underground fortress plan to allow humans to move underground to avoid the attacks of intelligent machines."
"In the eyes of these elites, the speed of the development of intelligent machines is terrifying. It may only take a few decades for these intelligent machines to leave this planet and look for other planets with rich resources."
"By that time, humans can return to the surface from the underground fortress."
Chen Fan suddenly realized, and Yi's voice also sounded in his mind.
[The idea is very good. For conventional artificial intelligence, avoiding war and giving up resources is indeed a plan to prolong its life. ]
[A few decades is too much. According to the information currently available, it is estimated that it will be able to leave this planet within five to ten years of victory. ]
[But the artificial intelligence on this planet is clearly an outlier.]
[It also regards the intelligent creatures on the planet as a resource, which directly declares the bankruptcy of the underground fortress plan.]
"But because the uncertainty of this plan is too high, the top leaders of the resistance army do not agree with this plan." Lu Nan continued, "From then on, there was some estrangement between the resistance army and the underground city. As time went by, this estrangement gradually faded." "
But until now, due to different ideologies, the two sides usually do not interact with each other."
"As for the underground city and the Mechanic Church..."
Lu Nan fell into silence, as if thinking carefully about something.
After a long time, he hesitated and said, "The relationship between the two parties is a bit complicated. As far as I know, some underground cities are very repulsive to the Mechanic Church, and some underground cities are neutral. Some even have close ties with the Mechanic Church."
"In addition, the relationship between the Mechanic Church and the Omnics... is also a bit complicated."
"I heard from some senior members of the resistance army that they respect the Omnics as their leader, and the Omnics do not seem to be very hostile to them."
"In short, the Mechanic Church is a very complex force. Although there are not many people, I suspect... they may be the most powerful force on this planet besides the Omnics."
Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.
From Lu Nan's words, he had some understanding of the current situation of this world - as time went by, humans and intelligent machines were no longer in an absolute opposition.
Under years of oppression, the mechanical sect and some underground cities even had a certain liking for intelligent machines.
In Chen Fan's view, this was simply an unimaginable absurdity!
[Civilization Stockholm Syndrome. ]
[Similar to the conventional Stockholm syndrome, except that its object is a relatively large and macro civilization. ]
[In the research of the Human Union Academy of Social Sciences, a large number of civilizations will show this tendency when facing external invasions. ]
[After experiencing long-term oppression and survival threats, the invaded civilization will choose to actively help the invaders, and even find suitable excuses for the invaders' invasion. ]
Listening to the "real-time explanation" issued by Yi in his mind, Chen Fan's confusion gradually dissipated.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke again.
"I need to meet with the top members of the resistance army."
"Of course!" Lu Nan nodded vigorously and agreed without any hesitation, "After we leave this underground city, I will take you to the southern branch of the resistance army."
"Southern branch?"
Lu Nan replied with a smile: "This is the southern war zone. The resistance army has three other war zones."
...
Kukan underground city, inner city.
Unlike the outer slums where the salvage people live, the inner city seems very prosperous.
The newly repaired road surface is extremely smooth. A large number of well-dressed pedestrians walked on the asphalt paved road and cast contemptuous and disgusted eyes at Jiang Haichuan, who was wearing coarse linen clothes.
Jiang Haichuan was very familiar with this look.
Therefore, he did not care about the eyes of others, but walked towards his destination on his own.
Boss Jin's residence is also considered a wealthy area in the inner city-over the years, he has made a lot of money by dealing in weapons and equipment.
Looking at the individual villas in the rich area, Jiang Haichuan inevitably revealed a little envy in his eyes - in the underground city where land resources are extremely precious, this kind of single-family villa with ample personal space is almost the greatest symbol of status and power.
"Hey!"
Seeing Jiang Haichuan approaching the rich area, a member of the law enforcement team patrolling the street frowned and hurriedly stopped Jiang Haichuan's action: "The garbage collector, what are you talking about? Stop right there!"
Seeing Jiang Haichuan looking at him inquiringly, the law enforcement team member took out a pistol from his waist and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?"
"Don't you know this is the inner city?"
"I'm here to see Boss Jin."
Jiang Haichuan said in a low voice without being humble or arrogant.
"Boss Jin?" The law enforcement team member raised his eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Which Boss Jin?"
"How many Boss Jins are there in this inner city?" Jiang Haichuan shook the metal cube in his hand, "Of course it's the Boss Jin who sells weapons."
"Fusion battery?!"
Seeing the greed on the faces of the law enforcement team, Jiang Haichuan's heart tightened.
He did not show any strange expression on his face, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Speak softly!"
Jiang Haichuan imitated Hong Chengdong's tone, and lied calmly: "This is what Boss Jin specifically asked for. I'm here to deliver the goods to Boss Jin."
"If there is any problem, you..."
Hearing this, the law enforcement team member's face turned pale.
He turned his head to look at the wealthy area behind him, put away the greed in his heart, and waved his hand quickly.
"Go, go, go, go back to the outer city where you should be after delivering the goods!"
