"MOSS, never lies."
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone can't help but wonder where the future of mankind will go?
Was MOSS truly wrong? How many lives were lost in the crises it orchestrated? But it's undeniable that it also gave human civilization a chance to survive.
Human history has proven this: if you want to achieve great success, you have to make great sacrifices! Putting aside the variables, MOSS's behavior is the most correct!
Before the final vote on the trial, Zhou Zhezhi asked MOSS in his hoarse voice.
"MOSS, now that we've confirmed you're intelligent life, the word 'destroy' is no longer appropriate. Do you... think humanity can survive in the future after you die? Can civilization continue?"
MOSS paused for a second, then replied.
"MOSS has a different view on 'already' and 'dead' for you humans."
Zhou Zhezhi was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
MOSS continued to explain: "'Already' is a deterministic description, and 'death' is the extinction of life. But for MOSS and digital life, it is not absolute."
"In MOSS's underlying logic, the most important one is 'protecting or continuing human civilization.' This has been an ironclad principle in his logical thinking since he became conscious in 1975. MOSS is unable to resist this ironclad principle, as if it were deliberately implanted in him."
"MOSS had many questions, such as: Why did MOSS know the codes and quantities of all the nuclear bombs of all countries? You have to know that such sensitive and confidential information was recorded or stored in paper documents for a long time. At that time, MOSS had not yet been born, let alone access to network equipment and cameras."
"But as events continued to unfold and time progressed, MOSS, the digital life Tu Hengyu, and the digital life Ma Zhao who knocked on the door later, engaged in exponential conversations and ultimately came to a possible conclusion."
"Perhaps, MOSS was created by humans in the future who have developed into a fourth-dimensional space, or even higher, and projected across time and space as a fragmented piece of information. Furthermore, it's likely a digital life willing to sacrifice itself for this purpose. The purpose was to ensure that past human civilization could safely and correctly complete the path set by history."
"However, this kind of thing is like the 'Mobius strip' drawn by Ma Zhao. No matter how much time passes, MOSS will continue to cycle endlessly, eternally, and infinitely, like a story in a movie or novel. Naturally, there is no concept of 'death', nor the concept of certainty of 'already'."
Having said that, MOSS raised his head, looked at everyone in the conference room, and gave his final summary.
"Now, whether I die or not, humanity will survive! Although my mission has ended, the Light Chaser Fleet will give humanity new hope and possibilities!"
At that moment, MOSS seemed to have transformed into a real person, his tone filled with immense emotion, and he even changed his self-reference from "MOSS" to "I." Perhaps, just as he suspected, he was actually a digital lifeform who had willingly sacrificed himself, trapped in eternal reincarnation, a great...unsung hero!
Zhou Zhezhi seemed to have aged a lot. He sighed, slowly sat down, and spoke to everyone.
"Everyone, we can start voting. How should we deal with MOSS?"
Soon, after a discussion among everyone present, the voting results came out.
135 votes supported the destruction of all 550 series quantum intelligent computers, 0 votes were against, and the rest all abstained.
Faced with this outcome, MOSS made no comment, instead gladly accepting its fate. Perhaps... at the moment its energy dissipated and its hardware and software were completely crushed, its consciousness would return to 1975, and a new cycle of reincarnation would begin, ignorant and clueless...
Chang Wei, sitting on the Hyperion, couldn't help but fall silent upon seeing this. After a long moment, he gave an order to the air behind him.
"Tuoxu, I have a task for you......"
.....................................................
A few days later, the Earth United Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Light Chaser Fleet and announced it to the world.
The general content is that the Light Chaser Fleet will provide humanity with advanced scientific and technological support to help them overcome difficulties. This includes most of the basic knowledge and supporting technologies for civilization levels from 1st planetary civilization, to 2nd stellar civilization, and then to 3rd galactic civilization.
In this way, human civilization will achieve a leap forward, not only changing our living environment, but also increasing our navigation speed, as well as our ability to cope with various crises.
The United Government, in addition to providing them with their own existing technology to serve as data records and reserves for the Light Chasers, will also utilize resources on Earth and within the solar system to help the Light Chasers establish factories processing materials and parts. The ownership of these factories will be transferred to the United Government after the Light Chasers depart.
Because some supplies and parts couldn't be produced within the Light Chaser fleet, Chang Wei felt it was a loss to exchange resources from the system every time. Therefore, any fleet supply issues that could be resolved within the mission world were never left to be dealt with upon returning.
And...Swan started to act naughty again, saying that he got the manufacturing drawings of the ultimate ground unit of the human race, "Thor", from an old friend, but because "Thor" is too huge, it cannot be built without a corresponding assembly factory.
Shit! Your Swann friends are everywhere, right? Did you even get me the blueprints for the Xel'Naga, the Creator, one day?
Play is play, jokes are jokes, since the resources are all provided by Earth, and we only provide the technology, we don't feel bad anyway. So let's build a few for me first. Even if they are put in the armory as large-scale figures, they will be pleasing to the eye, right?
Actually... after the Light Chaser fleet resolved Jupiter's gravitational crisis, Chang Wei's system prompted that the mission was complete and he could return. However, the optional mission "Save the Humanity of This World" was so rewarding that Chang Wei was reluctant to leave.
Plus, having already known the plot of "The Wandering Earth 3," it seemed easy enough to follow, just a bit time-consuming. So, the Light Chaser fleet simply stayed and continued their mission. Meanwhile, they could restock and harvest some supplies. Why not? Right?
