Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 292: Honest robot

Views:

After the group disbanded, the "Old Tunes Group" also returned to the room.

Genova took off the sunglasses on his nose and glanced left and right:

"You don't seem to be in a good mood

"Did the slave trader's lecture just remind you of any bad memories

"I remember that slaves and servants were common in the dust, and shouldn't have any impact on you."

He asked very directly, without using euphemism, or he didn't know what euphemism was at all.

And his eyes finally fell on Bai Chen.

He remembered the slave trader's lecture, and when the dozens of scheduled servants showed expressions of hope, the lady whose pseudonym was Qian Bai quietly clasped her hands.

Before Bai Chen could speak, Long Yuehong answered on her behalf:

"Because the person they're going to serve isn't very good."

He paused and explained in detail:

"Dimarco is a brutal man..."

Long Yuehong briefly described the Dimarco-related information obtained in the Redstone Collection before, and finally said:

"It makes me a little uncomfortable to see that they think that there has been a good change in their fate, but it is not the case."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement with Long Yuehong's statement.

Genova thought for two seconds before asking:

"Then why don't you try to save them?"

He didn't understand and asked.

The room suddenly became extremely quiet. Except for Shang Jianyao, who didn't know what to think, everyone else didn't seem to expect that Genova would ask such a question so directly.

This is a somewhat embarrassing question.

It is like a sharp arrow, piercing through the whitewashed nonchalance.

After more than ten seconds, Bai Chen said:

"There are so many people in the ash that need to be rescued, it is impossible for us to help one at a time, it is beyond our ability and the supplies we have.

"We have to ensure our own survival first, and then we will think about others."

She paused for two seconds and added:

"I've always felt that it's noble to be able to avoid harming innocent people on the dirt."

Don't ask for help from outsiders.

Xiaobai, you rarely talk so much... Jiang Baimian listened quietly, not in a hurry to speak.

Long Yuehong agreed:

"Yeah, on the one hand, the 'underground ark' has a lot of power. With just a few of us, we definitely can't handle them. It's still a question mark whether we can even get in. How to resettle is also a very real problem. We have to wait a month or two for farming, and the harvest is even farther away, and our food is very limited. At that time, they don’t know how many people will starve to death or freeze to death. Maybe not as good as getting into an 'underground ark'."

Not bad, I have been able to explain things in a clear and coherent manner... Jiang Baimian then summed up in the language that has been organized a long time ago:

"Besides, our main task is to investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world, and we have to take care of this and that, which will only drag down our actions and increase unnecessary burdens.

"If the difficulty is not high and the risk is not too big, then we can do it easily, but in this situation, we can't be indifferent and risk the lives of the team members.

"Everyone's ability is limited, it is impossible to manage everything, and doing your own thing is the most important."

Genova thought for a while, then nodded, expressing understanding:

"It was so.

"I thought 'saving all humanity' was one of your goals."

Heartbroken... Jiang Baimian's expression was a little sluggish, and a word he had just learned flashed through his mind.

She squeezed out a smile and said:

"Investigating the cause of the destruction of the old world and figuring out the source of 'innocence' is itself an effort to 'save all mankind'."

Genova thought for a while, then asked:

"If the main mission is also fraught with risk, would you risk the lives of the team members?"

"..." Jiang Baimian felt a headache when asked.

She thoughtfully said:

"I will analyze the situation, weigh the risks, and make a decision.

"If it can be done by taking a little risk, then I should try it. Anyway, it must be me who is at the head. If the risk is too great, then I will consider changing the method and find other clues. In short, don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Are you afraid that there will be no firewood?"

Genova moved the neck made of metal, and asked again in doubt:

"Then why not deal with the 'underground ark' and save those servants

"Why don't you first consider whether there is a good solution or another way to solve it, and just give up?"

You are a very sincere robot... In the future, I will teach you what to ask and what to understand... Jiang Baimian is a little bit crazy, just like facing another businessman.

Papapa, Shang Jianyao, who had been contemplating, applauded.

He looked at Genova and praised with a smile:

"I'm very pleased."

This headless remark made Genava a little confused, and after a careful analysis, he said:

"You think my question is a good one?"

"Well." Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt that he was about to face N businessmen.

She began to regret her behavior of coveting intelligent robots to be able to fight.

Phew... Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled and said:

"The reason is that I have already considered and analyzed it in my heart."

To show that this was not "tactical deception," she elaborated:

"The 'Ark' is located underground, and access is strictly controlled. You can't break in if you want to, and the road may be blocked at any time on the way, and you may be trapped in place...

"There are a lot of guards inside, and the weapons are also very good...

"'DiMarco' has at least two new military exoskeletons, only a few more of the older ones...

"There are also Awakeneds working for him, more than one...

"In addition, the 'Ark' has sufficient internal materials and a lot of weapons, and it is not a problem to be besieged for a year and a half...

"More..."

Having said this, Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds before saying:

"DiMarco is also a very difficult person, he is very brutal on the one hand, and on the other hand, he shows all kinds of strange things.

"For example, he is very concerned about what Huxindao has done to Yan Hu, which is not like an ordinary person's behavior, for example, he dares to meet us in the room alone.

"So, I suspect that he himself has strong strength."

After the analysis, Jiang Baimian made a summary:

"Based on the above, I don't think we can save the servants in the 'Ark', even if all sacrifices are made, it is unlikely.

"Well, it's easy to save those just now. The focus is on the post-event placement. We don't have that many supplies."

Genova agreed with Jiang Baimian's analysis and asked instead:

"Have you thought about how to raise food?"

"It's too late." Jiang Baimian replied helplessly.

At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Shang Jianyao seemed to be eager to try, so she said weakly:

"what do you want to say?"

After dealing with a fake businessman, now it's time to face a real businessman.

Shang Jianyao stood up, looked around, and said with a smile:

"I'll just say a few facts."

A few... Long Yuehong suddenly had a little liver tremor.

Shang Jianyao didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and said to himself:

"One, the 'underground ark' must have a lot of supplies inside, which can feed many people for a long time.

"Second, DiMarco occupies the largest share of the redstone smuggling market, no matter which industry it is, so there must be a lot of high-performance batteries in the 'underground ark'.

"Three, as long as you control the channels well and have enough force, whoever does these businesses can make good profits."

Jiang Baimian did not object blindly, but thought for a moment and said:

"What do you mean, as long as you kill DiMarco and occupy the 'underground ark', you can solve our needs, save those servants, and feed and house them at the same time, all with one stone?"

Papapapa, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands:

"And with such a force that we support and will be influenced by us, we can use it to change the situation of the redstone set little by little, and promote the peaceful coexistence of the gray people, red river people, murlocs, and mountain monsters here."

Jiang Baimian felt that this was the case, but also a little dumbfounded:

"Are you going around in a circle, or to achieve this goal?"

Really persistent!

Shang Jianyao didn't answer, and sternly provoked the thorn in the previous sentence:

"You can't say things like killing DiMarco and occupying the 'underground ark' will make us look like robbers."

"Then what should I say?" Jiang Baimian asked angrily and hilariously.

Shang Jianyao's expression became solemn:

"Do it for the sky!"

"..." At this moment, Jiang Baimian only had one word in his heart.

regret.

Regret now.

How did you allow this guy to watch old world episodes in the first place

Long Yuehong's expression is similar.

He feels that the current businessman is simply "more powerful".

Bai Chen didn't speak, neither agreed nor opposed.

Jiang Baimian calmed down, looked at Shang Jianyao, and responded with a serious attitude:

"If you can come up with a feasible plan, then I can consider it.

"If it doesn't work, it's fine."
