Bionic Era

Chapter 360: almost

Views:

The parliamentary projection system did not create a separate line for Eden.

Eden came in using the line from the northern city of Coors City.

This is proven again.

The two northern cities had always known Eden's location and were in contact with each other.

Many people present had flashing eyes and calm expressions, looking at the seats in the north, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Eden is connected."

There have always been only nine parliamentary projections.

The tenth party appeared today.

The North holds three seats.

But the people projected by Eden are actually very few, twenty or thirty, some human beings and some bionic people.

"It's Constantine, this old guy. He really took the lead in establishing Eden."

"This old guy has an ancestor relationship with the northern royal family. Every generation is not peaceful. When it comes to his generation, it is even more..."

“…”

Discussing quietly.

Many congressmen here have stated in public that they will one day eradicate the android city of Eden.

This way they can gain support from those anti-android groups.

Many people may have said that just to get support at first, and they don't have much love or disgust towards androids themselves.

But after all, human beings are easily affected by the surrounding environment.

If you chant anti-android slogans too much, one day you will start to have negative emotions towards androids.

"Eden finally dares to really meet people. He has been a mouse underground for too long. Do you want to come out and see the sunshine?" A discordant voice sounded from the south of the projection.

The speaker was a Baker City councilman.

The congressman looked unhappy.

Lu Wen found out that this congressman had a relative who was fatally injured during the android riot in Baker City and is still in a coma.

He also saw the android councilor with whom he once communicated, Core Red Fifth Generation, Zhang Ji, in his seat in Baker City.

Zhang Ji sat in a very peripheral position.

The location was so awkward that the projection system could barely scan it.

He is different from Lu Wen.

Lu Wen was too lazy to get involved in this matter, so he sat at the back and took care of Xia Chuluo.

Zhang Ji was excluded. In his words, he was like a walking monster, wandering in human society, suffering from pride and prejudice every moment.

After the android riots, this prejudice reached its extreme.

Over there in the northern seats.

Constantine was not offended by what the Baker City congressman said.

Although he was old, he was well-dressed, had a warm smile on his lips, and was very gentlemanly. He responded gently: "I think in the eyes of the floating city back then, everyone here was just a ground rat."

Start a group directly.

One sentence blocked those congressmen who were not friendly to androids.

While the floating city was still there, all ground cities could only silently endure the arrogance of that city.

No one dared to knock down that city, mainly because they didn't want to break the relationship, and they were also worried about the hundreds of thousands of flying robot armies in the floating city.

Except for the west, you can definitely win if you fight in other cities. After all, the floating city only has a small population, and floating in the sky is a fatal weakness.

But no matter which city they fight, they will suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, the education that many council members received from childhood has led them to form this understanding—the floating city is the center of the world.

"Ahem..."

Over in the east, a relatively respectable old congressman coughed twice.

These two coughs broke the awkward situation.

Regarding Constantine's words, they really couldn't think of any counterarguments.

It may be said that they respect the Floating City, but some cities once lent their own armies to the old guys in the Floating City and used them...

"Let's talk about business first, time is limited."

Some conflicts are definitely irreconcilable, so they can only be ignored for the time being.

But even when we were talking about business, the smell of gunpowder was a bit strong.

"The android riots have caused considerable damage to all nine of our cities. Just when we were seriously dealing with the internal conflicts in the city, someone suddenly broke the news that the androids were evacuating." A Baker City congressman said.

"Except for A00, there should be no other supercomputer in the world that can control so many androids at the same time." Another Western congressman added.

"Since A00 restarted, Eden has never given a reply. Is she directly formatted, completely erasing all data, or is it still the same as before restarting? I would like to ask Eden to explain."

Constantine remained calm and unhurried in the face of everyone's questioning, and his smile never changed.

He only heard him smile and say: "I don't think there is anything to explain."

"What do you mean?" someone asked coldly.

"I don't think any of you are going to talk seriously today, how about we continue another day?" Constantine smiled lightly and stood with his hands behind his hands. There was no trace of happiness or anger in his cloudy eyes.

Lu Wen never expected that this old man would be so tough.

Facing hundreds of human city councilors, he showed no intention of compromise.

It’s no wonder that he was able to build the world’s first bionic city in more than ten years, against the trend of the times.

It is the only one so far.

Lu Wen has information on Constantine here, from childhood to adulthood, complete and clear.

This old man's ancestors were indeed noble and related to the royal family. However, in the subsequent revolution, his family was overthrown, the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years was robbed, and the clan members died and scattered.

But later, the few remaining members of their family found a chance in a desperate situation and rose again, occupying a strong place in the history catalog.

Then it was overthrown, and then it rose again...

Along with trade and bloodshed, strife and war, we experienced the roar of steam engines and internal combustion engines, and also witnessed the collapse of the immortal empire.

The reincarnation repeats itself until today.

However, most of the descendants of those who once robbed their families of their wealth were impoverished, were not rich for more than three generations, and never prospered.

The wealth that was robbed back then has now returned to Constantine, allowing him to build such a huge underground city and has never stopped expanding it.

This old man and the family behind him are both a legend.

So many MPs here know him.

"Can you please stop arguing? It's pointless and just a waste of time."

The person in charge of Coors City in the north spoke.

It can be regarded as playing a mediating role.

"Old man, why don't you say a few words first?" The man looked at Constantine.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Constantine smiled and nodded, greeting the person in charge.

Then he turned to look at all the human city councilors.

"Regarding the evacuation of the androids, I think many people think it was done by A00, but you seem to have overlooked something."

His voice was clear, neither salty nor bland.

"What was overlooked?" someone asked.

"The third principle of bionic people." Constantine said with a smile: "If it does not violate the higher-level principles, bionic people must first protect the superior bionic people, and then protect their own existence."

Everyone present looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

Everyone is here to discuss things today, and no one expected that Constantine would suddenly talk about the principle of bionic humans.

A few people quickly understood something.

They held their chins in thought.

Constantine continued: "When the destruction order was originally executed, due to the combined effect of the meta-principle, the zero principle, the first principle, and the second principle in the body, the vast majority of bionic people were unable to disobey the order, successfully awakened and got rid of the circuit breaker measures. Except.”

Accompanied by Constantine's narrative.

Many people recalled the scene of countless androids walking to suburban factories to die at dusk when the destruction order was issued.

"But now that the destruction order has been terminated, most androids are in a wandering state. The third principle in their bodies has come into play. Under the threat of the possibility of the second execution of the destruction order, they have the desire to stay away from human society. Therefore, today's androids in urban areas are Less and less, it’s not one person controlling, it’s a collective behavior.”

Lu Wen wanted to give the old man some applause at this time.

He can actually explain the principle of bionic people in this way.

This truth has become extremely crooked.

But most people present had no choice but to believe it.

The principles of androids, or robot principles, are originally formulated by humans.

Most of the things made by humans have certain flaws, and there is no perfect creation.

Back then, the old mayor of Central City was able to scare away the hundreds of thousands of robots in the Floating City with just one sentence, because he took advantage of the loophole in the violation of principles.

But most people don't have the courage and determination like the old mayor.

However, there were still some members present who refused to give up.

A staunch anti-bionic man councilor from Mowu City asked: "Neither Bilan nor Xinhong has come to such a conclusion. They are bionic man design and production companies. Why do you think so?"

Constantine smiled lightly.

"I am the founder of Eden, and no one understands androids better than I do."

that's all.

Constantine's crooked reasoning was accepted by most congressmen.

There were actually several representatives of Azure and Core Red present.

But they remained silent and did not speak.

Regardless of whether Constantine's words are right or wrong, as long as they are good for the androids, they will not refute him.

At this time.

The more conclusions that are favorable to the androids, the better. The two companies are now trying their best to tide over the difficulties.

Then came the matter of the referendum.

"The voting must be conducted anonymously so that the final result can be slightly modified."

“…”

Until about four o'clock in the afternoon, these old conspirators were still debating.

Regarding the question of the fate of androids.

And Xia Chuluo was already awake.

She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"I'm hungry, let's go out to eat."

"OK."

The two just left the meeting.

The entire scene is under Lu Wen's surveillance, and you can watch the replay at any time.

Outside the parliament building.

Next to the square, there is a rice noodle shop.

The business of this rice noodle shop has not been very good in the past two days. The murderer who killed the Kerry couple once ate here.

On weekdays, if this store makes good use of public opinion, it might become a check-in place for internet celebrities.

but now…

Almost cold.

Yesterday, a group of media reporters came to interview. Today, the popularity has dropped, and there is no one at all.

Lu Wen and Xia Chuluo became the few guests today.

The boss also recognized that these two were respectable people, so he used a lot of materials.

Lu Wen looked at the red oil on the surface of the bowl, a little lost in thought.

"Jiang Xiaonian likes to eat noodles. He said that when he was poor, he would never forget the taste after eating it once."

"Why do you think of him suddenly?"

"I just feel that many of the people I have met so far have had unfortunate childhood experiences." Lu Wen said calmly: "My brothers are actually right. Yin Long gave me the best arrangement."

"You can choose not to have that arrangement, and from the beginning, you have another path."

The other path here refers to cooperation with Li Meng at that time.

Over the city of Mowu today.

The clouds are not thick.

The August sunshine barely penetrated and shone on the dilapidated buildings, which looked a little pale.

While the two were talking.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the store, and there was someone at the door.

The man's shadow was pulled into the store by the sunlight.

It's number three.

It looked like he had something to do with Lu Wen.

"Miss Xia is here too." He chuckled softly: "I have heard of Miss Xia's name more than once. I have read your life and you are a strange woman."

Xia Chuluo didn't deny it, he just said it lightly.

"These are troubled times."

"But in troubled times, there won't be many Miss Xia like her."

The pleasantries are over.

The androids don't like human greetings and greetings, and they always have something to say.

No. 3 turned to look at Lu Wen and said seriously: "No. 9, No. 5 is gone."

"Dead?" Lu Wen put down his chopsticks and looked up at him.

"Almost dead."

"Bionics don't die that easily."

No. 3 sat down, looked around the store, and ordered a bowl of noodles.

He then sat at a table across from the two.

He looked hesitant, hesitating to speak, as if he was trying to formulate a sentence.

Lu Wen asked: "Almost dead... by how much?"

Good night, fellow book friends!
