7. The Day of the White Rose on the Battlefield VI
Richelieu, who has always been known for his extremely high demands on his subordinates and even more demanding demands on himself, rarely admires anyone. Even if it is an opponent he respects from the bottom of his heart, he will only "destroy them with all his strength."
This is a way to express one's respect. And the Supreme Archon of Alfheim happens to be one of the few.
For a guy who is the closest to God in every sense of the word, it is difficult for you to resist.
But because of this, there has been a question about Li Lin that has troubled Richelieu for a long time.
That is - why is only Roland special?
In Richelieu's view, Li Lin is a benchmark figure who can be used to annotate the term "no blood and no tears", a strategic machine full of efficiency theory and consequentialism (it sounds like he is talking about himself). Except
Not getting married, having no offspring, and being able to relate to "good people" everywhere (this is also surprisingly similar).
Generally speaking, people with the above characteristics are more negative about "reproducing offspring" than the average person. Compared with most nobles, they are less concerned about it, and their attitude toward "cultivating successors" is only slightly better.
After all, they lack urgency in this regard. In their opinion, it can meet their own standards, or "
There are no people like me. I only consider similar matters because I have to do so. Moreover, I will remain vigilant during the training process, as long as something goes wrong with the training object, such as being inappropriate or trying to escape control.
If there are any signs of this, the culture object will be replaced immediately like a broken part.
Li Lin's attitude towards Roland was almost "pampering" and "spreading". Even Roland went against Li Lin's established strategy several times and was not punished afterwards.
At first Richelieu thought it was Roland's outstanding talent that kept Li Lin from taking action, or Li Lin's few humane side, but then the Prime Minister began to feel that it was not the case. Although Richelieu himself did not
Heir, but anyway
The old fox with his tail turned white has never seen a prodigal son or a bastard father. Even if his biological son tries to force his father into a corner, he will at least be locked up in a small dark room and have sex after the incident is revealed. I have never seen an adopted son touch his adoptive father.
Jiye, both parties acted like nothing happened afterwards.
For a while, Archbishop Li doubted whether Li Lin had any special hobbies, had any problems with his orientation, and had a yearning for "immorality" and "taboos" that ordinary people could not understand. You must know that in the aristocratic circle, "the aristocratic circle is really
"Chaos" is the norm, and tauren are nothing new for a long time. Sir knights give each other cuckolds just for fun, and there are still people who specialize in this
As the book says, there has been a proliferation of underground literary creations about someone and someone in society. If you think about it unkindly, maybe someone just likes to have sex with Roland dressed as a woman or Roland in a feminine form.
What? The archbishop said that this is not incomprehensible. At most, for the pure and innocent love for the holy girl, he should burn someone.
In any case, it is difficult to find an element called "family affection" in the relationship between Li Lin and Roland. Even if there is, it is unilateral to Roland. They are more like teachers and students than father and son.
Later, after getting all the truth about the consortium, the elf camp, and Li Lin from Roland, the doubts not only did not subside, but became more intense.
What factors allowed Li Lin to let Roland go in the hangar of the Emperor? This is not a matter of pampering and training. A political leader known for his "absolute rationality" has almost no human touch in him. A strategist. He should know the importance of "nipping potential dangers in the cradle" better than anyone else, but he committed the foolish act of raising tigers with consequences. Is it too confident? Impossible. Is it a moment of weakness? That's not right either. .
The only explanation is that there is some factor in Roland that is so important that Li Lin had to give in.
——If this information is mastered, can Li Lin make some concessions? At least without triggering the world restart mechanism, can a balance be reached?
With this idea in mind, Richelieu carried out the test with the determination to die, but——
"Post-it notes?"
The wily Prime Minister did not hide his surprise, which contained far more surprise than shock.
He had made many guesses before, but the answer Li Lin gave was too unbelievable. It didn't even seem like an answer.
(Did you notice something? Or...)
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom clenched his fists, feeling wet in his palms, and stared at the note Li Lin took out with doubtful eyes.
"Before I start explaining, let me ask you a question."
Playing with the paper and quill casually, like a child attracted by two pieces of stationery, Li Lin asked leisurely:
"Do you think someone can completely replace you and give you exactly the same answer to a certain question?"
"impossible."
Everyone is unique. No matter how similar their thoughts and values are, there are bound to be differences in cognitions and reactions. Collect personal intelligence information, organize it, and reason. If you build an inference model, you can also get "someone" "Views and answers to a certain problem". But those are generally limited to theoretical issues, and it is difficult to achieve perceptual fields beyond logic. For example, people who have been burned react differently to ordinary people when they see flames. So fundamentally Generally speaking, the so-called "answer" is actually a "close to correct answer", and there are still many details worthy of discussion.
Not to mention that personal opinions may change over time and place.
"Therefore, if you want to completely get 'someone's answer', there is no other way except asking him himself, at least from a common sense perspective."
The quill pen drew a large circle on the white paper, and then made a dazzling cross.
"But this subject is dead, and we want to get a 'unique answer' no matter what, so what should we do?"
Generally when asked here, people will always subconsciously think of "resurrection of this person", and then immediately deny this unrealistic delusion.
Whether it is magic or science, "resurrection of the dead" and "immortality" are eternal explorations but never fruitful attempts. Some people try to retrieve all intelligence records about themselves from the "roots", implant and their own indicators. Exactly the same dolls; some people try to digitize thinking and memory and exist in the form of electronic memories; some people want to transplant their brains into clones or other people's bodies; some people turn their souls into magic circuits to use the parasite's form through hundreds of years.
But the above attempts all ended in failure, and the reason is extremely simple - as long as it is an existing object, even the world itself, it is destined to be destroyed from the moment of its birth. Even with the technology that Li Lin mastered, he learned a lot at that time.
Leonardo Darhk's thinking, memory and genetic information were used to create a highly similar clone, and by injecting the data, all he could get was a "similar doll". The answer he expected could not be
Obtained from a doll that has to be pulled by itself to move.
One cannot step into the same river twice - the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus already revealed the problem.
The world is constantly changing, and the world will not wait for anyone. If you want to explore the truth from eternity, you can only follow it through eternity. However... Let’s not talk about the difficulty of this research. The tendency that may touch the "vortex of the root" is inevitable
It would attract the "key attention" of certain beings. As the spokesperson of the will of the planet, under the circumstances at that time, it was absolutely impossible for Li Lin to conduct an "eternal experiment" on someone who was equivalent to a "letter of surrender". Failure to do so would be a waste of time.
In terms of performance, the main problem is taboos.
Then the only option is to settle for the next best thing.
"As an alternative, other aspects of exploration were carried out."
"'Other aspects of exploration'...what does it mean?"
"Various, some are based on theory, and some are conceptual attempts that feel like entertainment novels. For example, group unconsciousness and the like."
"Group unconscious?"
"It can be regarded as a concept of psychology and mysticism. There are some secrets that cannot be said... In short, the individual spirit is connected with others at the root, forming a huge common consciousness. That 'common consciousness' is like a
A huge bulb, individual consciousness is just the tentacles it derives from the world. The life and death of an individual is like the movement of the tentacles extending and retracting. The bulb itself still continues to exist. In a sense, the bulb itself is the wisdom and experience accumulated by all individuals.
.”
Perhaps it was the first time since the conversation started that the "secret that cannot be told" brought some changes to the stiff atmosphere, or perhaps it was his dissatisfaction with Li Lin for not answering the question directly. Richelieu snorted coldly and spoke in a sharp tone.
Teased:
"What? Is it possible that you are so smart that you want to examine the inside of that bulb and try to steal all the crystallization of wisdom?"
"There has not even been a project in that area, let alone an attempt. What deserves attention is not the function of the database, but the concept of treating the 'collective' as an 'individual'. Just as the act of 'thinking' is not the soul
The operation is the result of chemical reactions and electrical signal transmission between brain nerves. If individuals are regarded as nodes and the connections between them are regarded as nerve signal transmission, each group can function as a huge brain.
"
"That's not a theory at all, it's just an opinion and there's no way to prove it. Basically, it has nothing to do with your purpose and 'getting a unique answer'."
Richelieu tapped the table gently to interrupt Li Lin's speech. This kind of speech that was obscure and full of incomprehensible terms made him unbearable. The Prime Minister couldn't help but feel that Li Lin was just saying nonsense to pass the time.
.
As if mocking Richelieu's impatience, Li Lin raised the corners of his mouth.
"I'm sorry, I should adjust the level of my explanation appropriately. If it suits your level...then I'll be more straightforward. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if there is someone who has exactly the same focus as the target audience, and has exactly the same imagination, and
A person with completely consistent direction. If such a person exists...are that person's thoughts equivalent to the thoughts of the target object itself?"
"...Also, theoretically speaking, this can be established."
"In that case, doesn't it matter whether the subject himself is alive or not?"
In a voice that could not tell whether it was high-pitched or indifferent, the glass that was about to touch his lips broke away from his palm and fell rapidly towards the ground. With a harsh whine, it shattered together with Richelieu's psychological defense.
"If there are people with the same level and thinking mode as the target, even if the target individual disappears from the world, the phenomenon of 'someone always following the world and continuing to think' can still be established. Compared to letting the target continue to exist
, wouldn’t this be more efficient?”
Richelieu suddenly fell silent. After a full half minute, the Prime Minister, whose front was wet with wine, stammered and spoke again.
"You...you said 'the same one', what on earth are you going to do..."
"There are two plans, or one can be said to be one. They are originally two parallel lines that complement each other. Plan A is what I just mentioned, the concept of treating the group as an individual, and the core of the group is the 'fed resistance organization'."
Judging from the parameters of the target object in various aspects, it is difficult to find individuals with the same level as him. However, there should be people similar to him in various fields. If these are close to the target's idea tendencies, there will be people with excellent parameter indicators in different fields.
Gather together, select specialized talents in different categories, and educate them.
Since there must be a gap between these talents and the target audience that cannot be bridged by education. Therefore, they can only be regarded as the "core". By systematizing people with the same tendencies around the world and turning them into the "periphery", we can form
A "doppelgänger" that holds the target's thinking system - that is, a "heroic organization that opposes the empire's absolute domination system."
"The flaw of Plan A lies in the 'gap between the target audience and the training target.' For example, in an era when the concept of trains did not even exist, it was suddenly proposed to build a 'mechanical vehicle that does not require animal power and can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.'"
After the proposal was made with a bunch of parts and weird-shaped semi-finished products, it was judged that it could not reach the '100 kilometers per hour' target.
The case was abolished. Some people involved in the research and development believed that 'even if the speed is only 10 kilometers per hour, it is still very meaningful, and it can be slowly improved to the original target in the future.' But if there is no guidance from a certain 'leader', the research will be
There was no way to continue. There was a similar gap between the target in Plan A and the imitators, so in order to make up for it, Plan B emerged."
The dumbfounded expression disappeared from Richelieu's face, and instead, the hairs all over his body stood on end.
(…What is all this? Is it a theory? It’s just like…)
"Plan B. It's Roland."
A dignified and elegant voice echoed, and the figure opposite smiled with a seemingly happy look.
"Plan A is to copy the target in the group, and plan B is to try to copy the individual with the closest parameters as the target. Through psychological and physiological effects, artificial means are used to copy the brain that holds the same thinking mode as the target."
"Wait...wait! Wait for me!"
Even if he could not endure it any longer, Richelieu interjected:
"The previous words are exaggerated enough. Now we are not just hypothetical, but actually reshaping people? This idea can no longer be regarded as a conception, it is simply delusion and madness! The dignified agent of divine will is actually an exaggerated delusion and a lunatic without common sense.
only--"
"What is the difference between the so-called 'common sense' and 'delusion'? Is it possible or impossible?"
The smiling face is very beautiful.
It is more upright because it is serious, and it is more elegant because it is calm. It makes people shudder because it talks about madness in a calm way. Its beauty also becomes almost coquettish because it makes people uncontrollably frightened.
The smile like a beast continued:
"Ordinary people... not only ordinary citizens, but also most scholars, belong to the 'majority of common sense people'. After conducting research based on their own cognition, they will say 'maybe it can be realized in a few centuries' - that is
Concepts that are conceivable on the extension line of one's own cognition fall within the scope of common sense. Anything beyond this scope is considered delusion for them."
In an era when the concept of gunpowder did not even exist, a smoothbore matchlock gun was like a magic wand in people's eyes. Without a physical object, the person who proposed the concept of muskets would be regarded as a madman. For people today, the automatic firearms of the National Defense Forces are "the future"
"Weapons", the researchers who develop these weapons are great pioneers in exploring new fields.
In a word, how to distinguish between "delusion" and "greatness" depends on people's cognitive level and attitude.
"In this sense, although for most people, this plan is an out-and-out delusion, for me it is reasonable - only reasonable that I can understand and cannot share with others...
It is also for this reason that Plan A is incomplete. After all, everyone has different sensibilities and reactions. Even if people with similar ideas are gathered together, due to the different
Due to different life environments and encounters, the shape of the thinking circuit formed in the brain and the direction of signal transmission are inconsistent, making it difficult for others to execute the same idea as the goal. On the contrary, starting from an early age when the personality has not yet been fully formed, using physics and
If psychological means are used to construct the same thinking circuit as the target, will it produce the same thoughts as the target?"
"Is this kind of thing... feasible?"
"Clinically, there are cases where emotional expression is affected after surgical operations, such as becoming aggressive or losing fear. In extreme cases, multiple personalities can occur. Aristocratic families with mental manipulation techniques have also tried 'conceptual camouflage'
\' and other explorations use the fragments of formulas hidden in text sentences to combine them into formulas in the reader's mind. The ultimate goal is to replace the reader's personality.
Change the personality of the spell writer or create an obedient puppet. However, these only affect emotional judgment and will at best produce waste with an unhealthy personality. Even I have a "thinking circuit" and
There is no shortage of knowledge about the concept of 'signal generation mechanism' and related surgeries. The brain is still a difficult object to deal with. So - it is necessary to ask more brains."
The head that is closest to the target and inherits its genetic information... the head of Roland Darhk and his descendants!
"That being said, how can a brain modified by artificial means confirm the success of relevant measures? For example, if an experimental subject sees food and has the thought 'I want to eat it now', then this is what it would have done before the change.
reaction, or is it the impact of surgery? Obviously, it is difficult to test the idea that is taken for granted. You can use the target
It takes too long to test problems that can only be solved by the subject, and there is a lack of clear confirmation methods. Therefore, it is necessary to test in the first half of the experiment. Through testing, ideas that most people will not think of and are unlikely to put into practice... For example
Say things like 'Stand up for the people', 'Fight against enemies that are too powerful to defeat'."
As a test standard, it is actually still on the high side. Under normal circumstances, a simple behavior like "wanting to kill" that is regarded as a taboo by most people is more suitable. As long as you can create a murderer who only thinks about killing people all day long,
Even if the experiment is a success, it is only considering that the entire world is about to face unprecedented turmoil, and the rarity of murderous thoughts has become rarer in the context of the times. This is why we chose a high-difficulty standard.
"The brain, like muscles, will be strengthened through continued use and exercise, and directional strengthening will occur when exercising in a specific direction. Continuous repeated use of the set circuit will make the artificial circuit fixed, and it will be used for any problem encountered in the final stage.'
Taking actions for the sake of the public. His behavior is "too selfless", "unreasonable", and even tends to "eliminate the minority for the sake of the majority". So far.
When , the experiment is considered successful. Then, the plural objects selected from the group in plan A are verified based on the collected data. Common denominators are explored from the failed and successful cases, deviations other than the accurate values are eliminated, and then the feedback is fed back to
On the individual of the second plan B - by repeating the above steps, the accuracy of the 'implantation circuit' is gradually improved, forming a virtuous circle. At this point, the plan is considered a success."
Fear turned into disgust, and nausea kept churning in his chest.
Richelieu knew very well that Li Lin was neither provoking nor showing off, but was simply stating his theories and calculation results.
He's just -
"...as supplements and branches of the plan, such as the 'New Type Soldier Project' that develops telepathy and mental network functions, and the 'Chimera Mass Production Project' that attempts to improve the brain using surgery and operating systems."
'And so on. In addition, we have also considered merging the two plans, selecting suitable targets from the girls around Roland, and making them the execution targets of Plan A... Generally speaking, we still use those two plans.
Mainly, while promoting the overall national strategy, we should try our best to create a peripheral environment that is conducive to the plan, so that it can serve the grand strategy until the experimental results are finally confirmed. To put it bluntly, Charlemagne is an anti-imperial organization.
Be it Roland or not, including in this world today, it is basically a sticky note used to test whether the pen can be used before writing important formulas. This is the truth of everything."
As he said at the beginning, to him, the world, human beings, and life are as existing as sticky notes.
He is not selfish or unfair, he just treats everything equally - just like a machine, he does not include the element of "emotion" from the beginning, and faces everything with a simple dichotomy of "yes or no".
Therefore, he can destroy everything he thinks needs to be destroyed without wavering, without sorrow or joy, whether it is a person or a country.
This is the essence of Siegfried Otto Lilling.
Understanding this, Richelieu felt a languorous emptiness welling up from the bottom of his heart. Then he realized that this was proof that he realized that he could no longer communicate with Li Lin - he could not resonate, and there would be no intersection. Just like people and people.
Whether the carved idol roars at the seemingly perfect shrine or kneels on the ground and begs for salvation, it is destined to receive no response.
After taking a long breath, Richelieu fell silent.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
The quill was inserted back into the pen holder, and the white paper covered with random scribblings drew an arc, right in the middle of the waste paper.
A faint smile, like the crystallization of darkness and moonlight, a smile that makes people want to use the highest-grade canvas and paint to preserve it for future generations, was thrust at me like a knife.
"Betting with one's life, getting the most core intelligence, as one's last contribution and farewell gift to the country and all mankind, and placing one's hope on the young people who are fighting... How does it feel?"
"...!!"
"Just like you are thinking that I might leak something when I have an absolute advantage, I am also thinking about similar things. It is important to solve the problem of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom and eliminate unstable factors for the future, but it is best to keep him hidden deepest
The intelligence path has also been uprooted. To achieve this goal, the only way to achieve this goal is to be forced into a corner, and someone with enough identity happens to reveal enough important information. You see, it is like this now. Most of my subordinates now
The net has been closed, and I have to speed up."
With a snap of his fingers, the black curtain fell.
Outside the window, Lüdes is still shrouded in thick smoke and fire. The midday sun casts a dim light through the smoke. It is darker than dusk and redder than blood. Under the sky, one can vaguely see the dancing undead.
.
This was undoubtedly an extraordinary sight, but it was not enough to make Richelieu widen his eyes and show an expression of disbelief.
Around, replaced.
The sun and street that should have been in the left window appeared on the right, and the scenery on the right appeared in front of Richelieu through the glass window on the left.
Including street trees, damaged buildings, and smoke, everything that we have been accustomed to has been reversed as if reflected in a mirror.
"Imaginary number space. A mirror world that arranges non-existent numbers and reverses everything in reality. Before the conversation officially started, this office had been transferred to this space isolated from reality. No matter what you do, you will not
Affects the other end of the mirror. That is to say——"
Spreading his hands, Li Lin announced openly:
"Here, we can fight to our heart's content without worrying about the consequences."
"Thank you very much."
"The fierce general who was known as the 'White-bearded Demon' in the past and a close friend of Leonardo D'Arc - Prime Minister Du Plessis de Richelieu, I am looking forward to your final battle."
(——as an important parameter.)
Intercepting the unfinished words, Li Lin had no intention of getting up. He narrowed his eyes that reminded people of blood and death. Facing the old man whose body was rapidly expanding and whose bright red and shiny muscles stretched out his robe, he
