this infinite world

Chapter 204 Choice and Sacrifice

"The 'I' created by the Valkyrie Project was born with the thinking mode of Valkyrie, the strongest wise man in the legendary human city, and most of her wisdom."

In the silent room, 10032-2's words continued. Her voice was as calm as water and as cold as ice: "To save the world, you need not only great strength, but also superior wisdom. The purpose of the Valkyrie Project , is to create a wise man who can overcome all difficulties and obstacles and complete the task of saving the world even in the face of all kinds of bad situations."

"Maybe it's because of the influence of Valkyrie's body genes, or maybe it's because I was input with the highest order of 'saving the world' during the transformation and training. What I was born from the Valkyrie Project upholds is through precise calculations and countless times. Big data simulation, with probability theory as the core, is derived from it to formulate plans and layouts."

"Because, there are only numbers and mathematics, and you can't lie."

"In other words, you would rather choose to believe in those cold numbers and probabilities than believe in comrades who have been together day and night and have experienced countless battles together?"

Zhang Jie listened to 10032-2's words in disbelief, and he couldn't bear it anymore: "How can you be called a wise man with your behavior? How is it different from artificial intelligence?"

Faced with Zhang Jie's unceremonious question, 10032-2 shook his head and said, "It's not artificial intelligence, but as a wise man, as a plan maker to save the world, if he wants to formulate a plan that is close to perfection, he must abandon all his emotions. No good and no evil, no anger and no joy, no personal emotional factors and likes and dislikes in the layout... Only in this way can one be a qualified world savior."

"Compared to us who can only passively pursue the traces of erosion with hindsight, the scale of the dark wave that will eventually sweep across the multiverse is too large, and all we can do is to save one plane after another as much as possible ... Therefore, I cannot empathize with those 'innocent people'. In my opinion, saving them requires much more resources and sacrifices than abandoning them."

"Morality in the ordinary sense, sympathy in the general sense, compassion for the weak... These are not the categories I consider. Since the power in my hands is limited, I must use the least power to achieve the greatest results."

"For this reason, both sacrifice and abandonment are acceptable... because this is a necessary sacrifice and a necessary choice."

——This way of thinking has a lot of similarities with the practice of the duplicate body Chu Xuan.

The moment Yang Yun heard these words, he thought of the layout style of the replica Chu Xuan, the cold wise man who was currently in the Devil's team.Compared with the authentic Chu Xuan who gradually understood what a partner is and what is side by side after resurrection, the replica Chu Xuan is more in line with the definition of a perfect wise man in the mind of the villain, the strongest who has no desires, no emotions, and only maximizes benefits. wise man...

However, perhaps there is no perfect thing in the world. This product using Valkyrie genes as a sample has also produced subtle deviations from the intentions of those manufacturers, that is, it has gone too far.

In Yang Yun's view, 10032-2's current way of thinking is to treat everyone as a one-time consumable, there is nothing that cannot be discarded, and there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed... This kind of cruelty and determination However, it is much inferior to the clone Chu Xuan's scheme of calculating people's hearts without a trace.

Yang Yun was still thinking about the difference in the way of thinking between the two, but Zhang Jie couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and asked: "What nonsense are you talking about! Could it be that the salvation you talk about is the people you need to protect and the people who need it? The destroyed enemies will be destroyed together?"

"As I said before, because ordinary people are not sacrificed, then the soldiers of the fourth regiment will be sacrificed, the elite soldiers who have been selected from the human city and have been tempered." 10032-2's tone did not fluctuate: "The soldiers' Life is the general's currency, and I must use it at the most appropriate time, and the life of a seasoned veteran is worth more than the lives of ten, one hundred, or even one thousand ordinary civilians."

"The value of life has never been equal."

What made Zhang Jie feel cold was that 10032-2 actually uttered more cruel words in the next moment. She said bluntly: "Because they don't have power, but we have power, because they are innocent people, and our task It is saving the plane... the things that can be done are different, so I assert this."

"This is choice, we can never do what we want to do, we can only do what we can do... My body should have understood this, but she made the wrong choice, which eventually led to the whole The fourth regiment was completely wiped out, and all that was exchanged was the lingering breath of this plane..."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Zhang Jie interrupted 10032-2's narration with a low growl: "You are now the surviving side. Your body has chosen to sacrifice itself to save this plane, and you are now sacrificing your body and the entire fourth group." It's worthless! Don't you think that if you survive now and hide in the safest place, everything will develop as you think? This is not the capital you are talking about now!"

"I don't claim to be a person who hides in the shadows and tries to grasp the direction of all things. There are also many things that will exceed my expectations, such as the last move my body takes... But I still can't understand why My body would have given up on the best option."

It seems that Zhang Jie's question touched the bottom line of No. 10032. At this moment, her cold voice showed obvious fluctuations: "My body has proved itself with the long-term layout. In most cases, they are indeed It is proceeding at the planned pace, and the vast majority of layouts have been successful."

"Maybe there are some layouts that can be modified after the fact, but that is basically due to insufficient information, not an omission in the long-term way of thinking."

"I can assert that every layout and every choice of 'I' is based on rational judgment and precise calculation. It is to ensure the overall situation and make the best choice under the circumstances, and to ensure that things do not go to the worst. A bad track is the bottom line..."

"The big picture of shit, the best shit, the bottom line of shit!"

Zhang Jie let out a roar, and a huge force emanated from his body, even pushing Yang Yun, who was defenseless, two steps away: "In my opinion, you are just standing on the bones of soldiers and pointing It’s just a few flies!”

10032-2 was not angry because of Zhang Jie's swear words, or she didn't have any anger at all, but said: "I don't understand what you mean, because 'I' was born to save the world, and only for this meaning To be born, and to save the world is the only mission of 'I', and the entire Fourth Regiment came with the mission of saving the world..."

"I only saw a lunatic who wanted to destroy the plane directly, an executioner!"

"Cough cough cough...pause for a moment."

Seeing that Zhang Jie got more and more angry, Yang Yun and 10032-2 were about to turn from an argument to a quarrel, Yang Yun, who had not spoken all this time, couldn't help coughing a few times.After attracting the eyes of both of them, Yang Yuncai said: "You two, can you listen to me a few words? If your thoughts represent the original decision of No. 10032..."

"Then I probably understand why she chose to obey your commander's order in the end."
