Chapter 24: Artificial Intelligence
Only when you have a big fist can you have power, and Ai Yue also agrees with this truth.
So he naturally supported Dr. Mei's plan—but that was not enough.
"Excuse me, but just expanding the right to speak is probably not enough," Ai Yue said. "Relying solely on a secret force to suppress conflicts within the organization is only a temporary solution. Unless those people are willing to put aside their past conflicts, you will only attract hatred to yourself."
"There may not be fierce conflicts between them anymore, but these people definitely don't mind pointing their spearheads at you and disgusting you at various times."
Malice will not disappear because of violence; it will only be hidden temporarily and then erupt more violently.
"You're right, but there's no better way right now." Dr. Mei sighed, obviously aware of the shortcomings of this plan. "If we can get them to use their energy and financial resources on more important areas, then I don't mind being targeted. Anyway, I'm not afraid."
When she said this, Dr. Mei smiled, obviously thinking of Kevin.
"Just kill them all, what a bunch of annoying guys." Mobius said impatiently, "Kill a group of them, and they will behave themselves."
"Unless you are sure that you can kill them all before anyone can react, it will only lead to a bigger civil war." Dr. Mei looked at Mobius with a look that said, "How can you be so naive?" "Nowadays, most of the world's wealth and military power are in the hands of that group of people. Unless you have a careful plan and kill them with one blow, you can only use deterrence."
It can be seen that Dr. Mei has considered this plan.
"Alas, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?" Mobius glanced at Ai Yue and suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, the one who performed the fusion warrior surgery before... Aponia? Isn't her ability mental control? Find a chance to gather those high-ranking officials together and let Aponia control them all, isn't that enough?"
"There is a certain difference between Aponia's 'Discipline' and real mind control, and her ability is still in the observation and testing stage, so it may not be able to achieve the level of mind control." Dr. Mei sighed, "And do you think those senior people don't know Aponia's intelligence? Maybe they got the detailed report earlier than you."
The top leaders of the Fire Moth are not a bunch of fools who just sit there doing nothing. How can there be any fools who can hold a position in the top leaders of the Fire Moth?
Underestimating the enemy will only lead to your own doom. Counting on the enemy's negligence to complete your plan will not end well.
"I also don't recommend you use Aponia's abilities to do this kind of thing." Ai Yue shook his head. Compared to the two scholars, he knew Aponia better. "When she does things, the results are usually contrary to her own goals. Maybe you just want the top leaders of the Fire Moth to unite to fight against Honkai, but if you use Aponia's abilities, it is very likely to create a group of warmongers who push civilization to the extreme."
Ai Yue, who knows the original direction of the plot, is very clear about the consequences of Aponia's ability. Some people may think that Aponia's powerful ability is a gift from God, but in Ai Yue's view, this ability, coupled with Aponia's compassionate character, is precisely the embodiment of the so-called malice of God.
Judging from most of the consequences caused by the 'Discipline,' it is more of a curse than a gift.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way out, Ai Yue will not give priority to relying on Aponia's power.
"Then what do you have in mind?" Mobius looked at him, "Give me some suggestions, and see what level you are at."
"I really don't have any good ideas," Ai Yue shook his head. "At present, Dr. Mei's plan is indeed feasible. After all, the power we have now is still too weak, and we are not qualified to bargain with the top leaders."
This was of course just a polite remark. When it came to plans, Ai Yue could come up with a lot, but basically nothing of it could be used right now.
He can't just say, I know the next Herrscher is the Herrscher of Sentience, so we just need to kill her, take out her Herrscher Core and study it, and then make a large-scale mind controller to brainwash all the dignitaries, right?
After saying this, let alone whether he could deal with the top leaders of the Fire Moth, he himself would be easily caught and dissected by the two scholars in front of him.
The ability to predict the next Herrscher? You, boy, are you a spy sent by Honkai?
So such things will eventually remain secret, and he will do it himself when the time comes.
If it really doesn't work...
Ai Yue took a look at the system's technology tree. In a remote corner, there was a dim star called "Mind Controller," waiting to be lit up.
Just like that, after a brief silence, this topic was ignored by several people. Until the next topic was brought up, no one suggested the method of "using the fusion warrior surgery with a 100% success rate to make the top management compromise."
Because they all know that it is impossible to make the top leaders obey by flattery and compromise. Human greed will only make them more greedy and want more.
If a person who holds power and is greedy at heart has a long life, the world will understand what true endless harm means.
This is also one of the reasons why Dr. Mei asked Ai Yue to hide himself—the extremely high failure rate of the fusion warrior surgery is precisely the reason why the top leaders of the Fire Moth have no bad intentions towards it. But if these people knew that there was a 100% stable way to become a fusion warrior, then they would definitely find ways to make themselves the only beneficiary.
If this group of people started a war to fight for the only right to immortality, human civilization would be completely doomed.
"Okay, the most important thing is over." Dr. Mei said in conclusion, "I will select the right people to carry out the reshuffle and reorganization of the Poison Pupa Unit. Do you have anything else to do?"
"No." Mobius shook her head. "It has nothing to do with me anyway. If you have nothing to do, just leave. I still have a lot of work to do today."
"I have a question." Ai Yue suddenly remembered something important. "Dr. Mei, what is the status of Fire Moth's research on artificial intelligence?"
Ai Yue didn't know whether the super AI "Prometheus" in the original plot was born at this time. If it could be born before the Eighth Herrscher appeared, many things would have new solutions.
"Artificial intelligence," Dr. Mei thought for a moment, "I'm not in charge of this project right now. If you're interested, I can take you to meet the project leader someday."
