Chapter 949 - Enigmatic Action (1/2)

”I have also detected the Androids production factory deep in the facility, as well as a powerful Hyperspeed Data and Information Relay Center.”

”Dumb it down for me, would you?” Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. Jargons of other aspects of society was not as easy to learn, especially when it came to subjects that he had never been good at.

”To put it in simple terms, there is a series of supercomputers used to collect, process, and store digital data. One of its functions is to convert artificial souls into the form of a memory chip that is being used in the Androids.”

”Now that, I understand.”

Jiang Fei had one of those things. It was the ring itself. With all the original, authentic technology that came with the ring, he was able to revive Ariel and the other girls, including Hong Yu, into this world. Compared to the military's version, Jiang Fei's was the original, flawless method of resurrection or creating a human being, while the military's version was just a cheap knockoff. The best they could do was to create something that still functioned like an artificial intelligence.

After listening to 0542's report, Jiang Fei had conflicted feelings. From the perspective of a Chinese citizen, the military was able to enforce their military strength and place China at the top of the world. On the other hand, it was nothing but bad news to the martial artist alliance. If there were to be a breakthrough in Android technology and the military was able to mass produce Level 5 Androids, the martial artists could start counting their days left on earth before the culling starts.

”What am I going to do about this…?” Jiang Fei thought to himself, frustrated.

To be honest, there was no enmity between the government and the Martial Artists Alliance. The only reason why the government wanted to eliminate all the martial artists was because of their ignorance and their refusal to cooperate with the nation's interests. If they were to behave like the Mutants, working hand in hand with the government, the government would be more than happy to take them in.

Unfortunately, pride and honor defined a martial artist. They had always looked down on normal humans and it seemed that they would continue to do so. Not even high ranking politicians, government officials, and military personnel could escape their judgmental glare. Even though they had personally witnessed the prowess of Androids, it was still impossible for them to just change their attitudes that was embedded within their culture for thousands of generations.

”Captain, if I may interrupt here. It seems that you are conflicted on trying to save the martial artists from the government whilst trying not to disrupt the military. How about moving the entire alliance into your private territory, the Winter Islands?” 0541 suggested a solution as it was reading Jiang Fei's mind.

”If only it would be that simple…”

Jiang Fei sighed. 0542's method was logical but it failed to factor in an important aspect—human emotions.

The Chinese government and the military force did see the alliance as a threat even though they did not do anything wrong. It was a matter of conflict of interest. The entire Martial Artists Alliance seemed to run on its own rules without interfering with the government. They were strong enough on their own to not follow the country's laws and regulations, almost as if they were an independent country. A rise of power within the Chinese borders was unacceptable. If they were willing to pack their bags and leave China, the government would be more than happy to assist them.

The problem lied with the martial artists themselves. These folks were born and raised in China and to them, their motherland was more important than their lives. To ask them to move out of China permanently was akin to uprooting their entire culture.

Unlike 0541, 0542 was a new artificial intelligence system that had just been born into the world. The way it calculated solutions was by focusing on the maximum benefits of both parties but not factoring in human emotions and conflicts. Hence, no matter how good the benefit was, when a human was involved, there would not be a perfect solution. 0541 would be able to calculate a better solution since it had learnt plenty about human emotions and the concept of compromising.

”Tch… If only 0541 was here…”

Jiang Fei could not think of a better solution yet but since the military had yet to make a Level 5 Android breakthrough, he still had more than enough time to think about it.

An hour after leaving the holographic entrance, Jiang Fei and Ariel reached where they were picked up from.
