Vol 2 Chapter 925: Artificial Genius (thanks to the new lord Genius Is Overwhelming

  Chapter 925 Man-made genius (thanks to the new lord genius _ unstoppable lord!)

  No matter how much Ian hates the action power of the sun **** bird, the guests who should be greeted still have to be greeted.

   "His Royal Highness Carlos, your arrival really makes the poor house flourish!"

  Ten seconds later, just as Ian arrived at the gate of his castle, he saw a ray of light coming directly from the defense line of the imperial capital, which happened to land on the gate, and the rather melancholy face of the eldest prince Carlos appeared in front of him.

   "To be honest, neither you nor I really want me to come."

   Carlos sighed, and he patted Ian on the shoulder: "But it's all the task of the emperor, you must know why I came, let's go into the room and talk."

  Carlos' intention is indeed very clear. As the envoy of the imperial capital, he asked the Yinfeng leader to provide relevant technology and data about the artificial soul.

   "Father has long known that my brother has given you the information of the Avak laboratory, and you will definitely put those technologies into practical use."

  In the welcome room, Carlos said succinctly: "The empire acquiesced in your use of these technologies, and gave the green light all the way. I also facilitated your actions... Next, the empire needs your technology and strength, and it is time for you to contribute."

"OK!"

  But unlike what Carlos thought, Ian agreed very happily, very happily: "I will let Guying explain it to you later, and he understands the details better than me."

   "...It's too fun, don't you want to popularize this stuff a long time ago?"

Carlos looked at Ian suspiciously, and he reminded: "Having a soul is actually not a good thing at all. Ian, although he said that he can affect the Void without a soul, but with a soul, the impact on the Void It's even bigger."

   "Once there is a situation similar to an all-out war, if the soul is not popularized, then the turmoil in the virtual world will not be great, but if the soul is popularized..."

   Carlos paused here, and Ian also understood what the other party meant. He nodded slightly: "This is why no one thought about this technology in the past hundreds of years."

"Ninety percent of the time of the human species is spent in depression and sorrow. Even if there is occasional joy, it is difficult to last. If you have more time, you want more. joy."

"So there are always curses in the virtual world, there is no eternal and beautiful holy land, because it only takes one generation or two, no matter how perfect the world is, people will get used to it, take it for granted, and even feel bored, want to to change."

Raising his head, Ian's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything, and went straight into the void: "If all ordinary people have souls and think so, then the void will quickly degenerate into an extremely terrifying demonic realm of desire. In this demonic realm, The greedy desires of all beings will quickly breed many greedy demons, and after people die, their souls will be scattered and become food for the demonic realm, making it grow at a faster speed, transforming into the most terrifying abyss of desire, and even creating Out of...the evil god."

Lowering his head, Ian looked at Carlos who raised his eyebrows. The Prophet smiled and said: "The development of technology and civilization complement each other—if it is a pre-epoch civilization, it will be stable and orderly, and everyone is self-realizing. A civilization that can be controlled and evil thoughts suppressed at the lowest level can realize that everyone has a soul."

   "Because in such a world, positive feedback will continue to superimpose, and finally create a kingdom of heaven in the virtual world, and the kingdom of heaven will accommodate all souls, making the virtual world and reality better."

   Saying this, Ian sighed: "It's just a pity that the civilization of the previous era has disappeared, and now Terra, which is full of wars and killings, is the reality."

   "Yes. Don't you understand this very well?"

   Carlos was quite puzzled: "I have been studying souls and beliefs, and I can't understand this aspect well-today's empire is not only a lack of material possessions owned by civilians, but also a lack of spiritual world."

"The reason why the flower of Karin was able to spread to the whole of Yanjiang in a short period of time and turned into an apocalyptic disaster was precisely because the spiritual world of the people of Yanjiang was blank at that time, and any foreign things could quickly occupy them mind."

   "So I want to use dreams as the source, create beliefs, and fill the hearts of the people of the empire. In this way, the grievances within the empire can be greatly reduced, paving the way for further development."

  This is the first time that Carlos has stated his path so openly. Ian speculates that this is probably the result of him discovering that there is no need to hide some things, and the people above have long known.

  Even Ian can see what the other party wants to do. How could the Earth Keeper not know, the other party must have beaten his son.

   As for Carlos' idea, it's not wrong.

Religious belief is indeed the opium of the people. In Terra, this belief is really powerful, and the sublime can really be compared to gods, dreams and beliefs. Even if the belief is really strong enough, it can really awaken the world of spiritual energy. , religious belief is indeed a choice.

   What Carlos did was actually the same as what Ian wanted to do on the road to spiritual disasters. He wanted to build a sect and become a **** himself, if possible, the emperor.

   Then, guide the direction of the people, reduce internal friction, and let the whole country work towards the direction he wants wholeheartedly.

  Ian speculates that the reason why the Defender would allow Carlos' actions so much is because part of his plan can use Carlos' plan.

   Gathering his mind, Ian looked at the eldest prince and said slowly: "This idea is indeed good, but obviously, there is too little time."

"After you spread religious beliefs and stabilize the ideological trend of the empire, then spread artificial souls, maybe Flameland and other countries that have conducted related experiments have already used them - and everyone has a soul, which will undoubtedly bring about sublimation increase in the number of recipients.”

   "Look at my territory. In the past two years, I have selected nearly a hundred seeds with the potential to be sublimated by virtue of my artificial soul... Is this possible to imagine in the past?"

   Speaking of this, Ian said solemnly: "The era of the soul of the whole people is destined to come. The moment this technology appears, it is destined to be unstoppable."

"My experiments in the past two years can make the empire one step faster. Why should I refuse? Could it be that the Void Realm is distorted into an abyss by the flames of war on Terra and countless undead souls? Now let the empire become Ruins, defeated by other countries, creating a realistic **** on earth?"

  This is actually a sneaky change of concept, because even if there is no artificial soul, the empire may not lose—the reason why the land defenders want to spread artificial souls is definitely not just to strengthen the country, but has other purposes.

   But at this time, Carlos fell silent.

  He was not quickly persuaded by Ian, but Ian's words were indeed the epitome of the problems Terra is facing today.

  Who doesn’t know that some technologies are extremely dangerous, once used, it is likely that both parties and even the entire Terra will be destroyed?

  But...if others use it and I don't use it, then the result will not be doomed, but only one side will lose, and the other side will win all!

  This is the essence of human beings—when people are in a hurry, they will never be afraid of some shit. It is human instinct to change one at the moment of death.

  But human beings absolutely cannot allow the possibility that the enemy wins and loses thoroughly.

  Any extremely dangerous technology, use it if you have it, you don’t use it, some people dare to use it!

  Because of this kind of game, today's Terra will become such a situation where extreme technology is everywhere, and the technology library of the pre-epoch civilization provides everyone with such a nuclear bomb launch button.

"…so."

  Carlos raised his head, and he stared at Ian solemnly: "Do you agree to spread these technologies in order not to be destroyed by others?"

"yes."

  Ian didn't blink, he didn't lie, he just didn't tell the whole truth.

   But Ian's real idea is very simple.

   Everyone has a soul, and the fertilizer of Terra's heart will be more.

   Not only that, if the conditions are ripe, Ian even wants to spread meditation to the entire empire.

  Everyone practices meditation, and everyone is the cornerstone of Ian's path—by then, Ian, who has the heart of Terra, will be the **** most urgently needed by all those who practice meditation.

  Because he can control the distribution of computing power in the Heart of Terra, he can decide who has the faster cultivation speed and who has stronger strength.

  For Ian, who has mastered the core technology, 'Tao and Law', the basic 'skill' of meditation is insignificant at all and can be spread at will.

"I see."

   Carlos nodded. He didn't say much, but looked at Ian with a little more emotion.

  Although the prophet in front of me is young, his thoughts are extremely mature. All his decisions have been carefully considered, and he has his own position and logic... It is an honor for the empire to have such a talent in the empire.

   "I can see that you still have some doubts, Your Highness."

  At this moment, Ian stood up, and he extended an invitation to Carlos: "Artificial souls do have risks, but the value far outweighs the risks. I will prove it with facts."

   "Please come with me."

   Carlos also stood up. Seeing Ian's confident appearance, he also began to wonder what kind of experience the so-called "fact" was.

   Soon, Carlos followed Ian to the underground laboratory in the western suburbs.

  Yes, this was a secret laboratory in the past, and only the most trusted people in the Yinfeng collar could know it. Ian remembered the names of every person who entered and exited.

   Can now... hide? There is nothing to hide.

  It’s fine if the keeper doesn’t pay special attention. He is obviously observing the Yinfeng leader in detail. Ian is not that stupid, thinking that this kind of trick can block the eyes of the sun **** bird.

  The laboratory did not surprise Carlos much. He has seen too many similar confidential laboratories, and he even has many similar ones in various parts of the empire.

   "The research here is probably some psionic technology, I saw the equipment."

He looked at the details in the laboratory with great interest, and found that there were quite a few spiritual detection instruments inside, as well as drawing boards similar to the structural analysis of spiritual power: "You want to tell me that artificial souls can effectively improve spiritual power The number of psychics and artificial psychics? Yes, I already know this, but psychic power still depends on obsession and talent after all, it is forced to be born, there is no difference between having or not.”

   "Yes, but not only that."

  Ian smiled and shook his head. He brought Carlos to a series of wards: "This is what I really want you to see."

  He pointed to a ward with a nameplate and the name of the disease at the door of the ward.

  【Dorky Hawes】

  【Congenital brain atrophy due to poison pollution, extremely mentally retarded】

   "The patient is twenty-two years old, and he still can't speak normally, and he can't even distinguish other people except his parents. He is more like a beast than a human, and even worse than a beast."

   Just as Ian brought Carlos to the laboratory, Adbert, also known as Gu Ying, rushed over from his office.

He came to Ian and Carlos, and introduced: "He basically has no brains. If it weren't for the father who is a rich businessman, he really loved his child and didn't give birth to other heirs, so he was adopted. So big."

   "Otherwise, given the severity of his condition, he would probably be thrown into the ditch when he was two or three years old."

   "Young Master Idiot of Howth Chamber of Commerce? I have seen him."

Carlos has also heard this name before. The Howth Chamber of Commerce is a fairly large grain merchant in the Central Plains, enough to get into the eyes of the First Prince. He mused: "I remember, when this child became an adult at the age of sixteen, he still couldn't eat by himself... He's not so much a human being as a lump of human flesh."

  He looked into the ward, and was slightly startled.

Because the patient in the ward, although his appearance was exactly the same as the Dolch Hoss he had seen in the past, his eyes were clear and his expression was agile. After realizing that Ian and others outside the ward were watching him, he was still smiling He waved his hand and greeted everyone.

   Once the young master of the Howth family doesn't have that foolish aura, he will reveal the good genes of the Howth family. He looks personable and handsome, and he is quite temperamental even when he is sick in bed.

   "...Is this an artificial soul?"

   Carlos murmured: "Can idiots regain their intelligence?"

   "It's just an appearance."

  But Ian didn't care. He raised his hand, mobilized the light curtain, and showed it to Carlos: "Look at this test paper, the civil servant test paper that is commonly used in Yinfeng collar here—look at the score."

   "Out of 300 points, there are actually 265 points."

   Carlos stared intently, his expression could not help but be stunned.

Two hundred and sixty-five points is actually not a high score, but considering that Dolch is not a fierce man who seriously wants to study for civil servants day and night, but a former mentally handicapped who can only occasionally read books in a hospital bed, this score is already It's high enough to make people gasp and exclaim in horror.

Not to mention, the examination paper for civil servants led by Yinfeng is all-encompassing. It cannot be said to be difficult, but it requires an extremely wide range of fields for the examiner. Can have the most basic understanding of alchemy and inscriptions.

  The content of such an exam does not actually require much intelligence, but what really requires is memory and action decision-making.

  For an ex-fool, this is simply more difficult than letting him defeat a sharp-clawed tiger alone.

   But Dolch passed—not a low score!

   "Can he have a photographic memory?" Carlos looked at Ian solemnly: "Or is it that he originally had this talent, but was delayed by his intelligence?"

   "Yes. He has a photographic memory."

   And Ian chuckled and said: "Of course not the original talent - he is a brain atrophy patient with almost no brain, how can he have a photographic memory?"

"This is the ability given to him by the artificial soul. Although it is not really a photographic memory, but the memory is indeed very good. He has quickly learned the common language, knows all kinds of common sense in life, and knows that his father has treated him for so many years. The dedication and family affection... The artificial soul has no side effects in this regard, it perfectly turns a non-human into a living human being."

   "A human being who can even be regarded as a 'genius'."

   Carlos continued to watch under the leadership of Ian and Adalbert.

  In this row of wards, all the patients are like Dolch, born with mental retardation, or acquired disabilities, resulting in mental retardation.

  For example, there was a patient who had half of his brain eaten by the slime monster. Although he was still alive, he became a patient with severe epilepsy who could not take care of himself.

  For another example, a veteran was shot into the brain by shrapnel because of the war. If you want to take out the shrapnel, it will definitely destroy the brain. If you don’t take out the shrapnel, you will be mentally handicapped.

  Every case is a serious illness that cannot be solved by the original medical technology.

   Only artificial soul technology can save their lives.

  Even… giving them a better life.

   "Do you understand, Your Highness?"

  With the silent Carlos witnessing more than a dozen different cases, and their comparison before and after the illness, Ian stopped at the end of the ward and said to Carlos: "The popularity of artificial soul technology is the general trend."

"As long as there is an artificial soul, then everyone in this world will be a 'new human' with quick thinking, amazing memory, and no fear of brain damage. Of course, it is a little underestimated to say that new human beings are new humans, but The embryonic form of a new human being is definitely worthy of consideration.”

   "Moreover, with a soul, it will be more convenient to connect to the terminal network... The reason why Your Majesty wants to popularize the terminal network, in my opinion, is also to be matched with the artificial soul technology."

   "At that time, even if the people of the empire are located in various parts of Terra, they will still be able to unite as one through the Internet... At that time, wouldn't it be more effective to develop religious beliefs?"

"…indeed so."

At this moment, after seeing so many examples, even Carlos, who was worried about this technology, was convinced and had to nod and said: "I finally understand why the father asked me to come here to negotiate with you. , not just for you to turn in your technology.”

He thought thoughtfully: "Father also wants to know your views on artificial souls, and asked you to tell me the potential of this technology... Yes, people have souls, smarter brains, and sharper brains." Observation and stronger memory, then it will be easier for him to succeed and do what he wants to do first."

   "It's not that simple."

  Ian shook his head slightly: "Everyone has a soul, which means everyone is a 'genius'—as long as you want to compete with others, nothing will change, and you still have to introvert."

   “But those things that are about themselves are not affected. People can learn what they want to learn more easily without too much frustration.”

Taking a deep breath, Carlos smiled and said, "This visit is indeed very rewarding. Although I do feel that you still have a lot of things to hide from me, my mission this time is to cooperate with the Yinfeng leader. Matters related to the artificial soul project."

   "Just wait, in a few days, the funds from the imperial capital will be allocated. Believe me, that is a number you cannot refuse."

  Ian also showed a sincere smile: "That's really great!"

   Thanks to the new leader! Jia Geng first remember, if the latest plot does not come out, it will be returned in the future!
