Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 939: Negotiation terms

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! The speaker’s expression has been completely frozen, he subconsciously looks at the cloth wrapped around Xia’s arm, the blood has penetrated After the fabric oozes out of it, a large black and red blood stain is stained.

"You...you are hurt..." The speaker moved his lips laboriously, and then barely squeezed these words out of his teeth.

"It's okay, by the way, the front-end time allowed those big consortiums to concentrate their troops under our control. How many consortiums carried out this order?" Xia suddenly asked.

The speaker froze for a moment. He originally wanted to ask what happened below, but Xia didn't seem to have any intention to continue. He had to witty ignore the explosive news-he clearly understood , If you have to keep asking, you will probably be erased by the one in front of you...

"...that...there are currently 47 consortiums on our side, 19 consortiums handed over more than 90% of the private army, 23 consortiums only handed over about half of the troops, and the rest The five consortiums under the command were not handed over by a soldier."

"Execute the purge order to kill all the direct managers of the five consortiums and annex all their industries."

"Will this... be too radical? In case it causes resistance from other financial groups... I am afraid that the situation will be disadvantaged by us. In addition, the Jiange Fortress has just been lost, and the Revolutionary League has imposed it on us on the front battlefield. A lot of pressure..." the speaker said hesitantly.

"Then assign those consortiums that have not surrendered all their troops to the frontal battlefield, and let them use their forces to fight against the invasion of the Revolutionary Union, so that even if they want to resist, they will not be able to draw enough strength. Come... Okay, you should know what to do with the rest. I have something to do now, don’t send someone to follow me."

"Where are you going? Do you really need someone to follow?" The speaker asked. Although Xia is also an evolver, his physical condition is very special. If he uses the power of the evolver easily, it is likely to cause The large-scale necrosis of body cells greatly shortened the little lifespan left, and if he did not use the power of the evolutionary, he would at best be a weak young man.

Any thug with a blade or an iron rod may threaten Xia's life, and this kind of guy will never be lacking even in the organization's control area.

Not to mention the spies, killers, etc. lurking in the crowd. Although Xia wears a mask every time he shows up in public, if someone really wants to search for information about him, he wants Obtaining his real photos is not so difficult. After all, in decades, the PROM Foundation is a well-known scientific research organization in the international community. Founders like them were often used in those years. A man of the world who appeared in news reports.

"It's not necessary." Xia waved her hand and walked out alone.

……

……

One hour later, Vault 009.

At the beginning of the establishment of the refuge network, a label was set for each refuge. However, in the tens of thousands of refuges, from number 000 to number 009, these ten refuges There are no residents living in these ten shelters. These ten shelters are filled with large and small computer rooms, which exist as the core hubs of the main control system of the shelter network—as for the control of these core hubs, they are all controlled. In the hands of the mastermind.

Fortunately, after Xia grasped a few backdoors in his hands, he was able to enter this refuge 009 from a secret passage...

It is more appropriate to call it a large underground factory rather than a shelter. Except for the equipment rooms, more than a dozen large-scale automated production lines occupy more than half of Refuge 009 Space-computer accessories are all consumables. In order to ensure that the calculation of the program can be foolproof, many precision parts must be maintained or replaced within a few months. These production lines are the logistics factory as the core hub And was assembled.

In addition to the production line, there is also a large amount of precious metals stored here. The volume of those precision consumables may not be large, but many materials used are very rare. When these shelters were built, the organization and those large The consortium almost stores most of the rare metal materials collected here. According to calculations, these materials can at least guarantee the perfect operation of the main control system of the shelter for more than 20 years.

However, Xia discovered that the parts manufactured on these production lines are no longer the precision consumables set in the program, but some new parts that he has never seen before.

Obviously, the main brain has changed the internal procedures of the production line, and these new parts produced are used to carry the "utopian world".

This is the only connection point between the main brain and the human world. If this place is destroyed, the main brain will no longer be able to control all the refuges connected to this place, but if you do so, those refuges will immediately become paralyzed. Medium-Power and water supply problems may still be solved, but if the oxygen supply system stops functioning, it won't be long before those shelters will become a huge grave.

To tell the truth, if there is no mastermind, then there will be absolutely not so many people who can survive after the war, and human beings may even fall into the desperate situation of genocide.

The normal operation of so many shelters requires a lot of computing power, and only the main brain can provide this computing power.

It is precisely for this reason that the organization dare not destroy these shelters in any way before this series of problems have been resolved.

Unless, humans are ready to return to the surface...to face the biochemical army under the mastermind.

Xia walked through the factory area along a path paved with riveted steel plates and walked into a huge computer room. At the entrance of the computer room, there is a computer that looks like a home computer. terminal.

Pulling a chair on the side that looked like it was about to fall apart, Xia ignored the dust accumulated on the chair that was already a centimeter thick, and sat down on it, activated the terminal, with her slender fingers on the same cloth. There was a burst of quick taps on the dusty keyboard.

Countless strings of characters scrolled quickly on the screen, and the red warning light on the first floor of the terminal flickered frantically. The sound of the alarm echoed throughout the computer room... However, in less than a minute, the alarm sounded. It disappeared without a trace, and disappeared with the sound of the alarm, as well as the dense string on the screen.

Instead, it is a video call screen.

On the other end of the screen is a somewhat blessed old man with obvious Caucasian characteristics. He is wearing a dark gray woolen coat and holding a beautifully carved goblet with the index finger and thumb of his right hand. The clear yellowish liquid in the cup exudes psychedelic light through the crystal cup.

"Xia...right? I saw you in the newspaper when you were young. At that time, I had just entered junior high school." The old man said slowly, shaking the liquid in the goblet.

"You have a good memory." Xia said blankly.

"Thanks to the award, it’s a pity that I didn’t think of your conditions. I spent decades lying in the life-sustaining cabin... You see, you are so young at this moment, who should have been in the soil, but I am already It's going down in the old age."

"You should live longer than me, if I don't get out of this cage."

"What? What cage?" The old man narrowed his eyes and put the wine glass on the side table.

"A prison that has shackled mankind for millions of years...Okay, it's time to talk about business. I took the initiative to find you, not to chat with you."

"Of course I also know that you are not here to chat with me, so it seems that it is a negotiation?"

"Yes, it's a negotiation." Xia nodded.

"Your Excellency seems to have forgotten something. Negotiations require capital. After the Jiange Fortress was captured by us, you have already lost the negotiation capital. As long as we devour your territory step by step, organize The disbandment is only a matter of time." The old man's tone began to become bad.

"This is a negotiation, but not with you, but with the mastermind." Xia Si said unmovedly.

"With the mastermind? Negotiate with the mastermind. Why did you come to me? I apply again, our Revolutionary League has nothing to do with the mastermind..."

"It's not your decision, poor puppet."

"What did you say?!" The word puppet clearly pierced the old man’s sore spot. His fat cheeks were immediately flushed, but he didn’t dare to vent voluntarily, so he could only stare fiercely at the other end of the screen. Summer.

"I have stated my attitude, but if the mastermind is not willing to show up, I think this negotiation may have ended before it even started—you have said a lot, the organization will undoubtedly lose, but even if you If you win, you won’t get anything."

"Are you threatening me?" The other person's tone suddenly became very calm, and the expression on his face disappeared completely.

"Yes, I am threatening you, mastermind."

"When did you see it?"

"Just now, since you chose an old man as the ruler of the Revolutionary League, even if he is a puppet, he should be at least a smart puppet. The angry face just now is too artificial... , Your research on our human emotions and emotions is still too stylized. This is the difference between machines and humans."

"Thank you for your opinion. I will make improvements. Then, what do you want to negotiate with me—what is it?"

"Surrender."

"Surrender?!" This was supposed to be a strong rhetorical question, but when it came out of the main brain, it almost became a statement.

"Yes, surrender. I can make the organization and all forces under its control surrender to the Revolutionary League to ensure the smooth implementation of the utopian plan."

"What about the conditions?"

"Give me the source code of the utopian program, and you have to make sure that I can integrate my consciousness with the utopian world... I know you don’t have that ability, but as long as the war between us stops, there will be time to go. Research the technology in this area, and I will help you further improve that virtual utopian world."

"What if I refuse?"

"I will kill everyone, the fish will die, and the net will break. Even if you achieve the final victory, there will not be many humans who can successfully enter the utopian world."

"Why?"

"For evolution."

"Evolution..."

"The flesh is the biggest obstacle to human progress. If I can completely digitize my thinking and live in this world as a consciousness, I think the future of mankind will become unlimited!"

"Thinking is digitized? Do you...want to become an existence like me?" The tone of the mastermind finally changed slightly, with a hint of doubt and curiosity.

"No, no, not the same as you...you are just a bunch of data, a bunch of data large enough, although you seem to have the same thinking ability as a human, but it is just you pieced together from the database It’s like a person who doesn’t know how to write~IndoMTL.com~ can only cut out each word from a newspaper or book, and connect them into a complete sentence...You are just a bunch of 0s and 1s... …"

"Then what do you want to become?"

"A brand-new life form that does not require a physical body and can exist in this world independently with only spiritual consciousness."

"I can't do it." The mastermind replied.

"No...You are already very close to that level. Isn't the utopian world the basic starting point for that kind of life form?" Xia stood up and moved closer to the screen.

"But it is still based on data. A pure spiritual ideology cannot exist independently. It must have a carrier, whether it is a human body or a disk."

"At least...it can let me get rid of this fragile body first, can't it...as long as I have enough time, there is nothing I can't do...I will ask you again, this condition, you Do you accept it or not?"

"I can accept this condition, but I just promise to input your consciousness into the utopian world. As for your subsequent ideas, you have to implement it yourself." The main brain nodded and said.

"Very good." Xia gave a smile to the screen. "First, I will suppress all the rebels within the organization. After the suppression is completed, I will announce the news of surrender. And after the organization and the reform unity, I will put all resources into the research and development of the utopian world, and turn this virtual world into a'reality'."

"Although I think your idea is a bit unrealistic, it will not affect my plan, nor is it contrary to my core code procedures, so I think I can wish us a happy cooperation ."
