When Section 9 came to Hokkaido, they discovered that Soros's factory was not built on land, but floating on the sea.
"How to solve the power problem at sea? Is it a nuclear-powered cargo ship?" Duran said, how to solve the power problem in factories at sea?
Artificial intelligence requires electricity, and neural chips also require electricity.
Although the neural chip can grow on its own, it also complies with the law of conservation of energy and requires electricity as nutrition to continue to expand. Without electricity, the neural chip will stop growing.
So there is a question, where does the electricity come from?
Hydropower, thermal power, nuclear power, solar power, tidal energy... In short, the more high-tech it is, the more it is inseparable from electricity. But electricity is not released by lightning, but produced by power plants. There is as much electricity as there are power plants. The increase in industry and
The number of power plants is closely related. One more robot requires more electricity. Factories are constantly producing robots. If the amount of electricity produced does not increase, where does the electricity come from?
From the hands of the poor, rich people buy more robots and consume more electricity, while poor people use less electricity.
This is the same as in ancient times. The rich eat more, while the poor eat less. This is called the wine-meat-smelling streets of Zhumen and their bones are frozen to death. The same goes for electricity. With more and more robots, more electricity is needed. If we don’t increase power generation
If there is a quantity, there must be competition.
Just like the drought in ancient times, if God doesn't rain, the two villages will have to fight for water sources and snatch water, all in order to survive.
The same goes for robots. If the power does not increase, they will have to snatch power in order to survive. Therefore, robots that use electricity are very high-tech, while humans without electricity live in a primitive world.
But if you want to build a power plant, it also involves land acquisition, transportation, raw materials, etc. Land acquisition alone is extremely expensive, even more expensive than building a power plant.
Landowners also have something to say, if the wind can bring in the rain and the king can't, why should they use their land to build power plants to benefit everyone?
In short, after the asset value of island countries has increased, land acquisition has become difficult and increasingly expensive. Building more power plants is no longer realistic, so some companies are looking to the sea, which can also generate electricity through tidal energy, relying on seawater tides.
Ebb and flow generate electricity.
Building power plants on land is thankless and difficult to achieve. Then build them on the sea. After all, the island country is surrounded by sea.
However, just like ancient Greece, tidal power plants on the sea affect the interests of traditional power plants, and a struggle will naturally be required.
The residents of ancient Greece lived in different places, and three factions were born: the seaside faction, the plains faction, and the mountain faction, fighting and robbing each other.
After the birth of tidal power plants, the ocean school and the island school naturally emerged.
Soros belongs to the maritime faction. Their factories are built on huge ships and use submarine cables to receive power from tidal power generation, so that there is no need to compete for power on the island.
It is very dangerous to buy electricity on the island. Once it is stuck, it is finished. Without electricity, Soros's factory will have to stop production, which will cause huge losses.
But is it okay to generate electricity at sea? As long as the Soros Company is not White Lotus, we can always find evidence of their illegal crimes and carry out reasonable and legal destruction.
Of course, Soros is not a white lotus. In order to further reduce costs, it is not enough to use tidal power generation at sea. They also used the soul of a girl to pretend to be artificial intelligence to produce a low-priced but high-quality robot, which was well received. But
After all, the human soul is not a programmed tool and will resist, so there were many attacks, leading to the intervention of the Nine Courses.
The Honshima faction also knows this is an opportunity and is keeping an eye on Soros' company. After Section 9 arrests them, they will send people to detonate the factory and blow up the tidal power plant to eliminate their competitors once and for all.
The best way to keep your advantage forever is to monopolize all monopoly assets, water, electricity, minerals and other resources, and distribute them to yourself forever.
Electricity is also one of the monopoly items. If you monopolize electricity, you can block factories and robots. It's perfect.
No matter how powerful the artificial intelligence is, all you have to do is pull out the wires.
Section 9 didn’t know that someone was watching them, but as the prime minister’s operational force, they were naturally in the center of the vortex. Section 9 was not about creating a vortex, but they would go wherever there was a vortex.
We cannot think that the Prime Minister really serves the country and the people, and established the Nine Courses to protect the people from the threat of criminals. The Prime Minister is not that great. He established the Nine Courses just like the emperor promoted samurai, all for himself.
Therefore, the case that the Prime Minister asked Section 9 to handle will definitely have a backup plan.
Whether it is the partisan struggle between the refugee faction and the anti-refugee faction, or the partisan dispute between the island faction and the oceanic faction, these are the choices that the prime minister needs to make. He needs the Nine Lessons to protect the allies who support him and attack the political opponents who oppose him. The Nine Lessons will take the blame.
.
For example, this time, if the investigation of the Soros Company involves tidal power plants, it will be the fault of the Nine Sections investigation, not the fault of the island faction, nor the fault of the Prime Minister.
Section 9 thinks that they are purely law enforcers, but they are totally wrong. After all, even their budget funds are not determined by the formal budget process, but are intercepted from the charity budget.
In order not to leave traces, the Nine Lessons will be betrayed when necessary and no evidence will be left. The budget does not exist and can be interrupted at any time to deny the authenticity of the Nine Lessons.
Although Section 9 is passionate about fighting criminals, it is actually a tool for party struggle.
"The ship factory and tidal power generation are really high-tech." Dulan said: "What we have to do now is to sneak into it and rescue the girl, just like the last time at Hanhua Company. Isn't that right, Captain?"
"Yes, the use of soul stripping technology is not allowed." Suzi said.
"I think if every major company uses soul-stripping technology, the law will change," Duran said.
"That will happen in the future. It is illegal now." Mozi is a supporter of social freedom and regards the law as the highest standard.
What is illegal under the current law is illegal, and the amendment of the law is a matter after the amendment.

"Get started."
Just when everyone was about to take action, suddenly everyone became motionless. Their electronic brains were attacked by hackers.
Obviously, Soros Company does not want to be trapped, but takes the initiative to capture the consciousness of all the people in Lesson 9 into the virtual maze, allowing their consciousness to wander in the virtual world forever.
In the maze, they can't tell the difference between humans and robots. One second they may be human, and the next second their skin will pop off and turn into a robot. The same goes for the people around them, they don't know whether they are humans or robots.
In the virtual maze, reality and illusion are indistinguishable, and everything they experience is like a dream.
The ultimate logic of the maze is: What is a human being?
Are people still human after transformation? Artificial intelligence has become fake and real. How to distinguish between humans?
All the other team members were tricked, that is, Motoko Kusanagi was able to clearly distinguish between what is the virtual world and what is the real world because of Project 2501.
Duran did not make a distinction, just said: "Reality and falsehood are not important, nor are humans or robots. What is important is pleasure. Can you bring me pleasure?" He said that whether the virtual maze can bring pleasure is what matters.
The most important thing.
The super hacker who invaded Section 9 is named ‘Jin’. He is a very powerful electronic warfare expert. He was no match for Section 9’s defense wall and was easily breached by him.
He watched Section 9 struggle in the maze, repeating the investigation process again and again, entangled and painful. Only Dulan seemed not to care about the truth or falsehood, only wanted pleasure, and was a crazy pleasure criminal.
"Human beings are nothing but the stuff of which we weave the dream called life," King said, "so are dreams and consciousness, and even the soul."
"Your theory is not new at all. Just say Alaya Consciousness. Everything is a projection of Alaya Consciousness, and people's five senses and feelings are false. Just like the most important concept of Buddhism, 'Form is emptiness, and emptiness is color.'
Everything is fake. But so what? I like pleasure."
"Pleasure is fake, and your liking is also fake." Jin is obviously a nihilist.
Buddhism says that everything is false, and in the end one must pursue liberation from the sea of suffering. But Jin does not seek anything, and simply and resolutely denies everything.
