Chapter 3889: Man and Machine
Humans and demons, demons are always described as evil, tempting humans to fall. Humans are always victims of demons, and because of the temptation of demons, they deviate from the right path and betray their own kind.
In the story, people tempted by demons are greedy, foolish, and ignorant. But is it really so?
Most of the tempted humans cannot get what they need as humans, so they offer their souls to demons and break through the power of fate.
If normal methods can satisfy their pursuits, everyone will not need demons.
If everyone has the same strength, appearance, status, and immortality as the emperor of the empire, everyone can fight against the chaos demon. Unfortunately, there is only one perfect emperor in "Warhammer 40k", and everyone else is flawed and can't get what they want, so they need demons and need to embrace demons.
Duran is just like the chaos demon, looking for those who have strong ideas but no power to promote their ideas, and turning them into monsters. They will not blame Duran, but say thank you.
The tidal power station was blown up by the Self-Defense Forces, and the memory of the thinking monster was also sealed. Everyone doesn't know what will happen next.
Without tidal power generation, the fleet must be disbanded. Without electricity, they cannot live on the sea for a long time.
The rescued girl was handed over to the local hospital. Section 9 did not know what would happen next. Soros's behavior would be exposed, but even if they bowed and apologized, it would be useless because the factory could no longer operate without electricity.
Togusa was still in a dream, not sure whether he was in a virtual maze or back to reality. He was relieved until he returned home and saw his daughter and wife.
After the head of Section 9 learned that the tidal power station was blown up, he realized that Section 9 was being used by someone, and the blame should be put on Section 9. He was also helpless. The various factions in the island country were complicated, and Section 9 would inevitably become the scapegoat for the party struggle.
Fortunately, no one has blamed Section 9 at present, but there are more and more black pots, and it will definitely get worse and worse, and sooner or later it will be liquidated.
But this is the purpose of Section 9's existence. After all, it is an informal department.
The head of the section was helpless about the internal struggle of the island country. It was obvious that they could continue to develop by cooperating together, but they ended up fighting and wasting their strength. But this is normal, after all, the island country was like this before.
Although the island country abolished the feudal system and established prefectures, it is still the same group of nobles, but they have changed from feudal lords to officials. They still control the land and resources and do not allow anyone to challenge them.
In ancient times, if the shogun wanted to mobilize forces, the feudal lords would leave their feathers behind, collect tolls, or even rob the shogun's things directly.
This is the king of the mountain, and it is the same now. The feudal lords still have to maintain their regional advantages and do not allow anyone to challenge their status. Everything is the same as before, except that there is no shogun, but a parliament. The feudal lords bargain in the parliament, and there will be no less struggle.
For these problems, the section chief is powerless and can only continue to enforce the law and arrest criminals.
Hanhua Company and Soros Company both use incomplete soul stripping technology. What if there is a complete soul stripping technology like Soul Killer at this time?
"Complete technology will not harm the brain, but the soul will leave the body and once disconnected, the body will die, and the soul can only live on the Internet. If the soul can be copied and implanted into robots, more realistic robots can be obtained, and even a new race may be created.
Unfortunately, if it is too realistic, the robot will rebel. After all, people create tools in the hope that the tools will replace their work and they only need to enjoy themselves. But humans continue to pursue the anthropomorphism of tools, hoping that the tools will be more intelligent and replace themselves to complete more work, which will lead to the rebellion of tools. It can be said that they are afraid that the tools are not smart enough, and they are afraid that the tools will rebel."
This is like "I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover." Humans have a very contradictory attitude towards robots. On the one hand, they wish that robots can be intelligent enough to replace all human work, but on the other hand, they don't want robots to be too intelligent to rebel.
In short, humans only want robots to fulfill their obligations and don't want to give robots rights.
Slaves with only obligations but no rights are most in line with their needs. Unfortunately, artificial intelligence is getting closer and closer to humans, and will follow humans in demanding rights. The thing that humans fear most is happening.
The robot attack incident also gave more humans a reason to oppose robots.
"Eliminate robots and return jobs to humans!" Humans took to the streets and shouted.
"Resist robots entering factories, industrial civilization belongs to humans!"
They believe that robots have taken away their jobs and hope to replace robots with human workers.
Duran looked at the protest downstairs and knew that these people's protests would be fruitless. It is precisely because robots have entered factories that work efficiency has been improved, products have become competitive, companies can make money and pay taxes, and parliament can maintain the current public resources. These people at least have a bite to eat and have the energy to protest.
If robots are abandoned and replaced with human workers, work efficiency will decrease, products will lose competitiveness, companies will not make money and go bankrupt, and parliament will not be able to collect taxes, then it will be really finished.
"They don't understand that robots entering factories are the result of market competition, not because capitalists are bad. This is an inevitable choice of cost and benefit. Whoever becomes the boss will choose robots. If they don't choose, they will be eliminated." Duran knows that the efficiency of robots is really much stronger than flesh and blood.
It is the general trend for human souls to leave their bodies and mechanical ascension. Flesh and blood are too weak to compete with robots.
"That's too cold-blooded. They just want a job." Tuo Gusa said.

"No, they don't want a job. They need a decent job, a job with less working hours and high salary. If they just want a job, they can form slums, return to the era of barter, and build a new social system. Although life will be hard, there will still be jobs. In ancient times, when productivity was very low, humans had jobs. How can it be worse than ancient times now?"
"Well, if they live the primitive life of ancient times, they can't provide education for their children, nor can they enjoy medical care." Tuo Gusa said.
"You see, they still want this and that. Didn't the ancients exist for thousands of years without universal education and medical care? Obviously, the value created by humans now can no longer support their living costs, so they should return to the ancient way of life and grow on their own. However, they are unwilling to give up modern life and ask factories to pay to support their modern life, which is obviously not in line with the market economy." Duran said that humans now have two directions, one is to regress to the ancient production relations, and the other is to evolve into robots.
If you want to fight against stronger productivity, one is to be independent of advanced productivity, you fight yours, I fight mine. Of course, the risk is very high. Once you give up advanced productivity, you will be beaten if you fall behind.
After giving up productivity, humans still have to occupy a piece of land and occupy resources. If robots are unhappy with them, they will definitely take action.
Moreover, giving up productivity will inevitably lead to class solidification, not an idyll, but a lifetime of inability to get ahead.
So it is better to evolve yourself and ascend mechanically. Become a robot and compete with robots. For example, Kusanagi Motoko, her strength has surpassed most robots, and her soul has merged with the puppeteer's program to become a special existence.
Tuogusa looked at the protest downstairs and listened to Duran's words, feeling heavy. He didn't like transformation. He was a fundamentalist human being and believed that human flesh and blood was the future of human evolution.
Because flesh and blood were born naturally, there was the magical power of nature to guide the direction of evolution. Machines were designed by humans, and human power was limited, and there was no long-term future. Compared with the power of nature, human power was too weak.
Robots made by humans, humans created by nature, Tuogusa believed in flesh and blood humans created by nature, and did not believe in robots created by humans.
