It is truly tragic...
Zhang Chen nodded.
This is also why most survivor camps have one leader making decisions, rather than a group of people or the entire camp meeting to decide.
In times of crisis, a single person's decision is swift and decisive.
Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, as long as survivors take action, it is always better than doing nothing.
When multiple people make decisions together, if disagreements arise, the final result will either be squabbling that causes missed opportunities, or the camp will break apart and split into factions.
Therefore, in the current environment, a single person making decisions, with a few people assisting by offering opinions, is the most efficient and stable camp structure.
Admittedly, some camp leaders may have poor management skills, be dim-witted, or be selfish and greedy...
But such camps will be eliminated over time, and members who join such camps can only blame their bad luck.
Those that have survived until now have all stood the test of time.
The leader is either powerful or intelligent and capable; in any case, they are not useless dead weight.
Please ask the next question, current battery level is 9%!
Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered something.
When he first heard the name Tang Houde, he felt it was somewhat familiar.
But he only remembered it now.
Tang Houde?
Wasn't he the leader of the progressive faction recorded in the history of the New Era?
The progressive faction always advocated using technological power as a weapon, rather than enhancing human strength through genetic modification.
But why did they still possess such advanced mass cloning technology and artificial human technology?
Zhang Chen voiced his confusion.
The holographic projection of Tang Houde smiled and said:
Our progressive faction and the gene faction simply have different stances. Our progressive faction advocates using all technological products as a means to fight against mutated creatures, while the gene faction advocates strengthening humans themselves through genetic technology! Look here!
This does not mean that our scientific technologies are separate! Within our progressive faction, there are many outstanding genetic scientists!
Speaking of the genetic school, they are true fools for even considering strengthening humans themselves, a hopeless method!
You must know that since primitive humans, humans, whether in terms of stamina, speed, or strength, have been very weak in the natural world.
Humans have developed to their current state by relying on their clever minds, using tools, tactics, and unity to fight other species and adapt to the environment. This is a proven method, but the gene faction wants to deny this experience and take a different path?!
Presumably, this part of the content was Tang Houde's true thoughts recorded.
So, as soon as he started talking, he became excited and couldn't stop.
Since Zhang Chen also wanted to learn more about the grudges between the progressive faction and the gene faction, he did not interrupt, allowing Tang Houde's projection to incessantly expound his views.
Can humanity's future be used for experiments or as a joke?
The clean sweepers we designed can fight for us, but they are just tools and cannot integrate into human society!
If someone wants to control the clean sweepers to commit evil deeds, we also have the ability to destroy the clean sweepers directly, similar to confiscating criminal tools. This way, the villain we face is still a controllable ordinary person!
Imagine if the clean sweepers were humans themselves. We could set up a destruction program on the tools, but we cannot set up a destruction program on humans. You know why; the council would not pass such inhumane legislation!
If there is a bad person who, without any tools, can command tens of thousands of zombie hordes by himself, then the security forces maintaining order are as good as useless in front of him!
A person with absolute strength is equivalent to having absolute power!
He can do whatever he wants, arbitrarily disrupt public order, eliminate everyone who opposes him, and enslave the people. No one has the ability to counter his strength... How terrifying is that?
What the gene faction is doing is creating countless such order-disrupting monsters, leading human society into chaos and disorder! Thus causing self-destruction in darkness!
I will never allow such a thing to happen, no matter what means are taken, even if I am ruined, I must stifle this evil idea in its infancy!
Some people might call me a demon, a tyrant, or someone who goes against the scientific spirit... but for the continuation of human civilization, I am willing to bear this accusation!
However, in a few years, ten or twenty years, or even a hundred years from now, when human civilization can flourish in a new environment, they will thank me and erect a monument for me!
So... do you have any more questions? Remaining battery level is 3%!
My goodness, this Tang Houde can really talk.
If you let him speak, he'll almost use up all the battery.
I want to know, what is the ultimate weapon of the progressive faction!
This was a question that had been lingering in Zhang Chen's mind.
Previously, historical records mentioned that the progressive faction had a great killing weapon, said to be able to completely turn the tide of the world.
When the Spider Queen first attacked the high-wall city, it was also because of this great killing weapon that she ultimately failed and fell into reincarnation.
The ultimate weapon? Are you referring to the Pioneer? It's in the weapon arsenal of the seventh city, but we implement a system where the core and the puppet are stored separately. You'll need to find the Pioneer Soul!
You can ask one last question, but make it brief. Remaining battery is 2%.
Tang Houde asked with a smile.
The ultimate weapon I'm talking about is not the Pioneer, but something else you researched!
Is it related to our crossing over?
Zhang Chen felt he was getting closer to the truth.
But he was unsure if this AI had the ability or authority to answer this question.
Ha, so you've discovered it? Find me, and I'll tell you the answer!
After Tang Houde finished speaking, the projection disappeared automatically.
At this point, there was still 1% battery remaining, not enough to require shutdown.
This indicated that the AI's setting was to automatically end playback when encountering such questions.
Sizzle...
At this moment, a circular box popped out from the robot's body.
It read: All Technology Blueprints!
This complete set of all technology blueprints?
Zhang Chen's eyes lit up.
Isn't this the key to activating the lighthouse?
This means Tang Houde is on or near the lighthouse?
Zhang Chen excitedly picked up the circular box.
Hmm?
Why does it feel so light?
He opened the box and was surprised to find that it was empty.
The entire set of all technology blueprints had vanished!
