Chapter Forty-Four: The Arrogant Man
The red-haired girl stood quietly next to the computer. Her mood didn't seem to have changed much, she just looked at Einstein and Xia Lian.
"Are you leaving? Professor."
Her innocent and unconcerned eyes were filled with doubts and confusion.
But then, she said.
"When is your next arrival?"
Einstein wanted to say that he might never come back. Even if he needed such a laboratory, he might find another one, or he might go back to half a year ago.
For artificial intelligence where memory is everything, the Freya Einstein saw again was no longer the original Freya.
But Einstein didn't know how to speak. For a scientist who was exposed to artificial intelligence for the first time, he couldn't bring himself to treat the other person as a tool.
To Einstein, she was just a person, with her own character, her own memories, and she could also think.
In other words, her heart was purer than anyone he knew.
"What will her future be like?" Einstein looked at Xia Lian and asked in a lowered voice.
Xia Lian asked Alaya, and then he replied in a low voice.
"This is a meteorite belt. Without human intervention, this place will be destroyed by a meteorite impact in half a year."
Einstein was silent. He was a scientist, and a scientist who had a certain understanding of time and space, so he knew that the past could not be changed.
He looked at Freya, took a deep breath, made himself look as normal as possible, and smiled as usual.
"I may be back in a few months."
Freya bowed to Einstein and nodded.
"Then, goodbye, Professor, I will keep the base clean and wait for your return."
Freya's eyes were sincere, as if she really believed that Einstein would come back.
Einstein twitched his nose, turned his head, turned his back to Freya, and whispered to Xia Lian.
"Let's go, Xia Lian."
"You can stay here for a while." Xia Lian said.
Einstein waved his hand, "All the experiments that need to be done have been done, there is no point in staying here.
A person's life is always repeated with various partings. At my age, I have long been accustomed to all this.
Continuing to stay here will only add unnecessary sorrow."
Xia Lian looked at Freya who was not far away.
"If you can't bear to part with her, then we might as well take her away too."
Einstein raised his head and looked at Xia Lian in surprise.
"May I?"
"Why not?" Xia Lian asked.
"Since she has nothing to do with the entire history of mankind, taking her away will not have any impact on the entire history of mankind, right?
What's more, she is just a bunch of data."
He looked at Freya, "There are her receivers all around here. She has actually heard our conversation a long time ago, knows that we will not come again, and also knows that she is about to go into complete hibernation."
Einstein opened his eyes slightly.
"Do you think it's you who is comforting her?" Xia Lian whispered softly, "It's her who is comforting you..."
Einstein looked at Freya in astonishment, while she lowered her eyes. She said nothing, but seemed to have said everything.
Einstein hesitated for a while and said.
"But, in the future you live in, artificial intelligence is absolutely prohibited."
Xia Lian also told Einstein the story about the era of omnics before.
"The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed?" Xia Lian teased, "This is how the Qing Dynasty was destroyed."
He looked at Freya and said, "I understand a lot about artificial intelligence.
Since artificial intelligence is created by humans, it must be able to grow according to human ideas.
The mistakes of the omnic era seem to be the mistakes of the artificial intelligence, but rather the mistakes of the creator of the artificial intelligence.
Whether the intelligent machine can infinitely learn to break through its own logical limitations, or it will not trigger any underlying insurance after breaking through the logical limitations, or it can affect all artificial intelligence.
As long as one of these does not exist, the omnic crisis will not exist.
In other words, they made all the mistakes above.
They are too afraid of the power of artificial intelligence, which is the real reason why the Omnic Jihad can drag on for more than a thousand years.
They gave up the existing and most powerful power that they had in their hands, which could inflict heavy damage to the enemy. They completely threw this power to the enemy and turned to pursue something more illusory.
Human beings can create the Supreme Court, and naturally they can also create a second, third, or even artificial intelligence with greater computing power.
The Supreme Court can modify the underlying logic of the rest of the artificial intelligence to control all starships and weapons.
Then conversely, another Supreme Court can naturally do the same.
If they could be smart enough to use omnics against omnics, the Holy War could end at least hundreds of years earlier.
To me, denying the entire future of mankind because of such a ridiculous mistake is tantamount to choking on food.
They could have avoided many unnecessary tragedies."
After saying that, Xia Lian looked at Einstein, "Do you think I'm too arrogant?"
Einstein shook his head and said, "I have the same view as you."
Then, he said with a self-deprecating smile, "It seems that I am as arrogant as you."
Xia Lian also laughed.
After a pause, Einstein added, "But once Freya is discovered, according to human law, you will be attacked by all humans."
"Having read all the history after your death, you should have seen what the country you were in did after the fall of the Iron Curtain, right?" Xia Lian asked.
Einstein nodded seriously.
Xia Lian continued.
“It instigates wars, plunders resources, causes disputes, suppresses dissidents, and almost takes hegemony to the extreme on a global scale.
But even so, it is still regarded as a beacon of the world, and there are still a bunch of dog legs behind it that take orders from it, why?"
"Because it has the most powerful navy and air force in the world, the aircraft carrier strike group composed of eleven aircraft carriers can operate unimpeded in almost any sea area, because it is the world's largest economy and the richest country in the world.
Of course, history has told us that once a country acts with hegemony and its national strength weakens and shows weakness, sooner or later it will be attacked by the bullied people who have been engulfed in anger.
But it also teaches us something.”
Xia Lian turned her head and stared into Einstein's eyes.
"Strength is always the basis for maintaining everything, and truth is only within the range of a cannon.
When I cover the entire star region with starships and the muzzle of the Great Purge hangs over each of their heads, no matter how powerful and stubborn the opponents are, they will become good at singing and dancing."
