Chapter 1287: The Art of the Emperor, Human Definition

There's only one person who can call Steve a general, and only one person has the qualifications to call him that. Smith Zhou, the master behind the hydra, the one who turned Steve into what he is today. Only in front of him, Steve will change from a person in charge to a second-level general.

If such a change of identity was for other people, Steve might be concerned. Because after all, everything here was created by him. If someone stood up to snatch the fruits of his labor at this time, no matter how polite he was, he would definitely not treat him well. But if it is against Smith Zhou, all of this is not true.

Because Smith Zhou is his leader, his mentor, and the guide of everything he does here. If he hadn't been guiding him, he might not have seen such a potential market with countless possibilities. So naturally, for such an existence, he immediately bowed his head in complete convincing.

"Why are you here, sir?"

When he asked this question, it was not a question, but pure curiosity. Faced with his doubts, Smith Zhou stood up, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then stood side by side with him, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling window at the foundation he had laid.

"I'm here because of everything you've done, Steve. You've done a great job, and I couldn't have done a better job here than you. The cornerstone of our organization is firmly built on this. You made the world shocked and panicked by your actions."

"Now the whole world is watching your every move, especially after the forces in Huiyao City have set foot here, they pay more attention to everything here. This is good, really good, because you put their All eyes are attracted, which provides great convenience for our other actions. So if possible, I hope you can continue to persevere. Although I know that the pressure here is very high, but if it is you, it should be You can keep this piece of foundation."

These words made Steve raise his eyebrows. As a smart person, he has always been used to finding extra meaning in words. So soon, he said to Smith with some uncertainty.

"So, you shouldn't be here to deal with me. Then let me think about it, based on the way those people have always acted, if they weren't to deal with me, then they should be to deal with him. That's right, after all, you With such an identity, if it is to deal with him, you are indeed the best means of restraint."

The advantage of talking to a smart person is here. You don't need to speak too clearly, you just need to give him a little hint, and he can understand your general meaning. This saves a lot of work, especially for those of them who don't want to bother.

Smith Zhou is a person who doesn't like wasting words very much.

So he just nodded with a smile, acknowledging Steve's guess. Then he changed the subject and asked him.

"By the way, you haven't told me about the problem at the beginning? Your career is doing very well, and it can be said to be thriving. But from your expression, you don't seem to be happy about it. I can see Tell me about the confusion and hesitation in your heart, what is bothering you, maybe I can give you a little help."

Smith Zhou was not considered a considerate person. Especially when it comes to treating his subordinates, his methods are often cruel. Buying people's hearts is not suitable for him, he prefers to use both grace and power to make people work for him. However, this is a method against other people, and this method he does not intend to use on Steve.

He knew who Steve was. Compared with those who succumbed to his subordinates for the sake of profit, he cared more about his own ideals, the future they shaped. Based on this alone, he has the value to make Smith Zhou look at him differently. What's more, what about Steve's own ability?

You know, Smith Zhou didn't call him a general to make fun of him. But for Smith Zhou, Steve is indeed his general. His contribution to Smith Zhou's career was no less than that of those famous ancient generals to one side. It is even said that in some respects he is even better than those ancient celebrities.

Yunwen Yunwu, and even the ability to sit in one side. This kind of talent is extremely rare even in history books, let alone in modern times. Smith Zhou himself can be regarded as a person who has come step by step from thousands of years of history, so he naturally knows how rare a talent like Steve is.

This kind of talent can play an absolute role in anyone's side, even in a huge organization like Hydra, his role to himself is definitely like a right-hand man. But for such a person, just using both kindness and might can't completely win over him. If you want him to be bound to you all the time, you have to get involved with him in a deeper way.

Talk about ideals, talk about feelings. This is the way that such outstanding talents should be treated. Although it is said that Smith Zhou used some dishonorable means to completely win over Steve to his side, but this does not mean that he does not need to spend effort to deepen the mutual relationship with Steve. got engaged.

In fact, on the contrary, the more talents are recruited by this special method, the more he needs to manage the relationship with each other carefully. The connection between them is not reliable in the first place. If you don't manage it carefully, then maybe one day you will lose such a strong arm. Smith Zhou is not that stupid, so he has always been very attentive.

Be friends, be mentors. Almost using all his abilities, Smith Zhou maintained his position in Steve's heart as much as possible. This kind of effort is completely in every aspect, so naturally, he is inevitably concerned about Steve's confusion.

Perhaps a little bit of confusion may turn into doubts about their careers, and maybe this little bit of doubt may become the basis for the collapse of all his painstaking efforts. He didn't want such a stupid thing to happen to him, so he was very concerned and cared.

Smith Zhou thought a lot, but Steve didn't necessarily think as much as he did. He's just questioning everything he's done. And now that Smith Zhou offered to solve his doubts, he no longer held back any more, but spoke directly to him.

"You're right, I really don't understand something. Sir, I remember we talked about our cause. Our cause is to unify the forces of all mankind, so as to form a human-centered The core, a new world that puts humans above everything. I have always been fighting for this goal. I also believe that if our cause continues, the entire human power can indeed be unified. However, there are I don't understand one thing. Is what we're doing on this land really right? Those people, I mean those refugees that we treat as pawns, even the elite under our hands. They After accepting this series of technological transformations, can they really still be called human beings?"

Having said that, Steve paused for a moment, he seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he still tried his best to confide what was in his heart.

"Honestly, I'm skeptical about this. Because the meaning of being human is fixed, defined by our origins, our environment, and even the genes in us. Everything we do is undoubtedly broken. Beyond this category, many people have become no longer like human beings in our hands. And if we continue like this, can our cause be said to be the cause of human beings? Our ideals, what we pursue Can everything really be said to be the same as what we were after in the first place? I'm not sure, so I thought, I might need an explanation from you."

It's an ideological question, and questions like this are often the most troubling. Because once this kind of problem rises to the level of disagreement, it is not something that can be solved by ordinary means. Throughout the ages, if this kind of ideological dispute does not completely destroy the living body, then it is impossible to separate the results.

Of course, it was impossible for Smith Zhou to destroy his right-hand man in this way, so naturally, he could only solve this problem before it developed to the point of disagreement. It's not easy, but fortunately Smith Zhou has extraordinary experience, so he just thought about it, and opened his mouth to respond to Steve.

"About this point, I think I should first tell you my own opinion. Human, what is a human? Maybe in your opinion, you think that human beings have a fixed gene sequence, highly developed intelligence and sociality. But I don’t think so. In my opinion, the so-called human being should not be summarized in such a remote way only from a biological point of view. It should be a broader and more enlightened system. And In the world thousands of years ago, some people have drawn a range for such a system. They believe that the so-called human beings should not be defined by the form of life, but by the form of thought and soul. to judge."

"Just like your original companion, the young man named Peter Parker, his genes have been mixed with those of the genetically modified spider. If you judge it in your way, he shouldn't be a human being." Yes. But do you think he's human?"

Steve frowned, but didn't answer. However, everyone knows his answer. After all, it is a young man he admires, so naturally, the statement of being non-human will not hold true for him.

Smith Zhou knew what was going on in Steve's heart, so he patted Steve on the shoulder and smiled at him in relief.

"That's it, my friend. Come to think of it, that's not how a human being is supposed to be. You understand that, don't you?"
