The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown.
Most human beings' fear of so-called supernatural phenomena, mysterious unknown civilizations, and so-called cosmonauts and aliens essentially comes from the fear of the unknown.
Masaki Keigo has lost his fear of the unknown. After all, after seeing such a powerful cosmic military empire, it is difficult for them to have such fear of other supernatural phenomena.
As a person who found the evolutionary route alone, he also has this proud capital. Although he does not realize it, he has actually single-handedly brought the upper limit of human beings to the level of the universe.
If you don't consider other humans, Masaki Keigo has no fear of the Kirielods themselves. In fact, without considering other humans, he feels that even if he faces all the Kirielods, , the advantage is also on his side.
Therefore, when Masaki Keigo switched from thinking about the great empire of the universe to thinking about the Kyrielod people, what he thought about was not the difficult abilities of the Kyrielod people, but how to completely integrate this existing thing on the earth. The threat of civilization that lasted for 30 million years has been completely eliminated.
And his idea is very simple and cruel, that is, to use human bodies to 'bind' the Kilielodians, and then use human society to 'eat' them one after another.
But as he said to Castor before, this is not a very simple matter. Whether it is technically or morally, this matter is not so acceptable.
Life is life after all, even cloned bodies are lives in the true sense, and they should not be played with at will.
The reason why Castor asked him to come to Horii was also very simple. After Masaki Keigo lost his fear, he also lost his respect for life, and Horii was obviously the opposite of Masaki Keigo.
Horii is always full of fear for the unknown in life and science, but this also means that he is always full of awe for life and science. Sanada Ryosuke and Masaki Keigo both realized one thing when getting along with Horii, that It's obvious that everyone has strong scientific research talents, but the things Horii researches always lack a sense of 'wow'.
Horii's awe and fear, from a utilitarian point of view, are actually constraining his own scientific research talent. However, neither Sanada Ryosuke nor Masaki Keigo have ever thought of changing Horii, because they need this. A person can police himself.
Horii sat behind the experimental table. After listening to Masaki Keigo's narration, his chubby face wrinkled, he rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hands and looked at Masaki Keigo, "Masaki Keigo! Do you know what you are talking about? ?!”
He stood up and looked Masaki Keigo up and down, "You suddenly came to me after disappearing for a few days, and then told me that you wanted to clone a human body for the Kirielod people, and that you wanted to add an interference gene to this body. The Riellodian brainwave equipment even needs to install viruses that can infect the soul body in each body."
"You bastard! Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about? Of course I also want to destroy those enemies, but your behavior will make it difficult for human society to develop civilizations that are related to other civilizations. ethics, but your actions alone are enough to warrant a military court!”
"If it is true, as you say, that humans are likely to establish the so-called human empire in the cosmic period a few hundred years from now, then have you ever thought about it, Keigo Masaki, that you may be the so-called empire in your mouth a few hundred years from now?" Judgment, because of your inhumane experiments!”
Masaki Keigo looked at Horii. It was rare that he lost his temper after being scolded. He snorted coldly, "Huh! What do you know? Even if I am being judged, I will be the same."
"What the hell! What else can you be? A cosmic-level criminal!" Horii said to Masaki Keigo, "If one day in the future humans really establish a new civilization in the universe, then what you Masaki Keigo has done will Because, it is a disgrace to human civilization!”
"You will become the most notorious executioner in human history. What you did to the Kilielod people will be compared with the death of the aboriginal people during the Great Discovery of Discovery, and will be compared with the in vivo experiments performed by white people on black people. Together with every 'inhuman massacre' in human history, it has been nailed to the pillar of shame of human civilization."
"Hmph! What do you think we should do?" Masaki Keigo turned his head and looked aside. After Horii's guidance, he began to calm down, "So what should we do? The Kyrielodians have always been hiding in human society. around, and if they don’t take action, we can’t take action, so what are we going to do?”
"Is this a Kyrielodian thing?" Horii looked at Masaki Keigo with a bit of hatred, "You bastard, can you take your mind off the conspiracy and conspiracy, and then seriously look at the point? What."
"The key point now is that humans are about to come into contact with civilizations other than humans, and they are not civilizations like the lightning people who have no way to communicate. In this case, what kind of appearance should humans appear in the universe, and how should humans treat them? Other civilizations.”
"Of course I know!" Masaki Keigo said disdainfully, "Humph! I am the first person to consider this matter. First, the empire must be based on humans, and then science must."
"Can you please stop talking about your bullshit empire? That's hundreds of years from now. Can you think about the present first?" Horii finally realized that Masaki Keigo was in a weird state. He looked at Masaki Keigo up and down, " What is the reason that makes you open your mouth and shut up about the empire? Are you stimulated by anything?"
"Hmph! Didn't I tell you before? Sanada Ryosuke may have been resurrected by Casto and sent to an empire in the universe." Masaki Keigo was silent for a while and said, "That's a very scary thing. It’s a huge, cosmic empire.”
Hearing Sanada Ryosuke's name, Horii was silent for a while. He was very happy that Sanada Ryosuke might still be alive, but he still maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the news about the Universe Empire. Finally Horii said, "I won't mention it for now. For the rest, don’t you think this matter is essentially not under the control of our two scientists?”
In the high-level conference room of TPC, Director Sawai is directly in front of the round table. To his left and right are Minamihara and Yoshioka respectively. At the other end of the table is Casto, who is supporting his chin with both hands.
All the curtains were drawn, and the whole room was dark, with only the projection and the sound of Masaki Keigo on the edge of the curtain and Horii explaining beside him.
Yoshioka leaned back in his chair and listened to Masaki Keigo's narration, and then he yawned, "Okay, stop for a moment, we all know these things."
Masaki Keigo looked at Sawai with some doubts, and saw the other party smiling at him, "Yoshioka, Nanhara, me, Casto, when you went to Sawai to tell him your plan, we were already in the conference room. We’ve been discussing it for a long time.”
Masaki Keigo looked at Castor, but Castor just shrugged, "You don't think your perverted plan can really succeed, do you? If you are lucky enough to do this, you can indeed succeed in human and biological The Riellodians merged, and then wiped out the Kilielodians bit by bit. But if you are unlucky, even if the empire you are talking about has not yet been established, as long as there is a slight crisis in human society, humans will be the first to be attacked. "
"You're childish, Masaki Keigo, you're still too childish." Nan Yuan opened the fan with a 'swipe' sound, "Since you think about using time and numbers to devour those Kilielodians, it's too childish."
After a pause, Nan Yuan closed the fan again and said seriously, "Your plan to bind the Kirielodians into human bodies is technically difficult enough, and..."
"And he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for mankind." Masaki Keigo was annoyed by these people's ridicule one after another, and said directly, "I know that this kind of behavior violates human ethics. The fat man has said a lot That’s it, can you explain it differently?”
Following Masaki Keigo's words, everyone looked at Horii. Horii was stunned for a moment, and then a proud and proud smile appeared on his face.
"Horii, you kid has a brain." Yoshioka looked at Horii with satisfaction, "Masaki Keigo's plan is full of loopholes, and humans can't let the space people catch it."
"Even if it is such a retarded plan, Masaki Keigo makes me doubt your status as a capitalist." Castor also said, "Which capitalist would come forward as the perpetrator."
"Keigo Masaki, I know you have always wanted to take my position, but do you think I established TPC by killing enemies?" Sawai looked at Keigo Masaki with a smile, "No, I was... Everyone supports me in taking this position.”
"You guys." Horii, who rarely came to such meetings, opened his mouth. He and Masaki Keigo looked at each other. The two scientists suddenly realized that they seemed to have misunderstood the theme of the meeting.
"There is nothing wrong with everything you think." Castor interrupted Masaki Keigo and Horii's thinking, "Masaki Keigo, you want to destroy the Kilielod people, of course there is no problem, Horii, you stand on the moral ground There is no problem in resisting at the level of the government.”
"The question is, you go back to the original place of the question, a simple question, why do the Kilielod people listen to you and combine with the cloned body you created? Do they really like the way of life of carbon-based organisms? The Riellodians clearly know that everyone can combine with humans, but since the beginning of human history, there have been only a few people who have combined with humans. Doesn’t this explain the problem?”
"Moreover." Yoshioka knocked on the table and said angrily, "The problem now is that in addition to those Kilielod who want to lean towards the human side, there are still a large number of Kililids on the earth who are hostile to humans. Elodians, you don’t consider those who are hostile, why are you thinking of killing those Kilielodians who have no intention of attacking humans?”
"There is an eternal truth, Masaki Keigo, you must remember it, you will definitely use it in the future." Sawai still smiled, but this time there was a serious look in his eyes, "No matter when, there is one thing It is certain, we must make many friends and only a few enemies.”
Having said this, Sawai looked at Masaki Keigo with a bit of hatred, "Didn't I show it before? The Kilielodians are obviously such useful tools, so why don't you think of killing them all? what?"
"A Kilielodian is worth a team from the TPC Public Opinion Department! Do you know how rare such propaganda and psychological adjustment abilities are?! Do you know how scarce psychiatrists are now!"
After speaking, as if he was angry, Director Sawai closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.
Masaki Keigo and Horii looked at each other, and they finally realized why there was no Megumi Nakama in this meeting. Compared with these people, Captain Megumi Nakama was really too kind.
Masaki Keigo opened his mouth, and then said angrily, "Is there a possibility that the Kyrielod people's guidance of the human spirit can be good or bad?"
Regarding Masaki Keigo's question, Castor, Nanhara and Yoshioka also remained silent. Even if they talk too much, the danger of the Kyrielod people does exist after all, and they are not human after all, so they cannot be completely believed.
"Hiss~~" Castor looked at Nan Yuan, "This is indeed a problem. Does your staff have any good ideas?"
"Any ideas?" Nan Yuan looked at Yoshioka, "Hey! Tell me something, don't you advocate treating Kyrielodians as human tools and weapons?"
"Are you kidding? Our police station is only responsible for destroying enemies. How to manage them is not my job." Yoshioka shook his head, then lay down on the chair again and began to mess around.
The corner of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched. He talked with these guys for a long time, but in the end, he didn't come up with any plan?
Thinking of this, Masaki Keigo stopped pretending and pulled Horii to sit on the table together. Then the two of them and the remaining three people started a crazy discussion about how to use the Kilielod people without letting them go. The Kyrielodians have a negative influence on humanity.
Masaki Keigo and Horii looked at it from a scientific perspective, Minamihara from a system perspective, Yoshioka from a military coercion perspective, and Casto fished in troubled waters + fanned the flames. The five of them started from three perspectives, and then came up with dozens more. Each method became more outrageous than the last, and finally slowly returned to Masaki Keigo's plan of slowly absorbing and assimilating the Kyrielod people.
"Are you really?" Director Sawai, who had been silent until now, knocked on the table and opened his eyes again, "Forget about the others, Minamihara and Yoshioka, you two still haven't made any progress over the years? "
"How to defend against the Kilielodians! How to restrict the Kilielodians! Do you have to use this kind of offensive thinking to think about problems?!"
"Old man Sawai! If you have anything to say, just say it! I've tolerated you for a long time!" Masaki Keigo directly rolled up his sleeves, "If you old guy can't come up with a solution now, don't even think about leaving this conference room today!"
Castor saw the excitement and nodded without hesitation, "Give him two more punches and it will be credited to Horii and I!"
Horii:?
Nanyuan and Yoshioka were not so irritable. They looked at Sawai. As people who had known this old guy for decades, they knew each other's abilities in this area.
Sawai saw that everyone's attention was focused on him, took a sip of water, and then said slowly, "Tell me first, the Kyrielod people have been on the earth for 30 million years. What do you want in human society? And what do these Kyrielodians want now? What are they afraid of?"
"The future." Masaki Keigo was the first to speak. "To be precise, it should be, after human beings enter the universe, their living space in the universe a few hundred years later."
"There is also status and worship. Everything they did before this was to get humans to worship them." Nan Yuan also said.
"They are afraid of the speed of human development." Yoshioka frowned, "Humanity's military development has made them realize that they may not necessarily be able to completely defeat human beings."
"Well, there are also religions and beliefs." Castor raised his hand silently, "I don't understand this very well, but the people of Kyrielod seem to need this very much."
"So, if we give these things to them, will it harm humans?" Sawai asked with a smile.
"Of course, faith and religion"
"Status, belief, religion... do these things appear for no reason?" Sawai spread his hands and said, "For humans thousands of years ago, as long as they did anything casually, they could leave their mark on human religion. Download your own portrait, but what now?”
"Supernatural phenomena should become less and less valuable," Masaki Keigo analyzed seriously. "As far as I know, there are some supernatural forces in human society."
"And the development of science has also made people's 'threshold' higher and higher." Horii continued, "If it cannot exceed human imagination, it will be difficult for such religious worship to appear again."
"Okay, old man, what are you going to do? Tell me your plan." Casto looked at Director Sawai speechlessly, "We all know that you are an expert in this field."
"Then let me tell you, what if we don't regard the Kyrielodians as cosmic beings, but as a 'minority' on earth?"
"more specific!"
Sawai banged his hands on the table, and then began to describe his plan, "First of all, the Kilielodians hope to gain status in human society, whether it is the current human society or the future human empire they fear."
"The word status is very strange. On the surface, it seems to be talking about power, but do people with status necessarily have rights? Yes, but it doesn't necessarily matter how much.
Moreover, they should also understand that it is impossible for them to obtain real power in human society. "
"Then, we can naturally give them status. First of all, for these Kilielod people who have good intentions towards us, we give them a certain status."
"For example? In what name?"
"The first step, canonization, is to give status and respect to those representatives who wander around human society, to these people who are the smallest in Kyrielod society. They themselves are intertwined with the religious part of human history. Together, then we will officially recognize the titles of witches and prophets, and we can even send them to the Pope to give them the right to interpret relevant religious history." Sawai pointed to his head,
“We can promise these people that when the Human Empire is established, these people will be able to obtain equal status as humans. Even because of their past contributions and the knowledge in their brains, we can promise to give them some higher status in the future. "
"Even when some Kyrielodians disobey them, human society can send armed forces to help them eliminate the rebellion, such as underground sharks such as Ozark, weapons that can destroy souls, and even giants of light. As long as they need it, they can use it, and we give them infinite respect."
"Then there are the remaining Kyrielodians with soul bodies who have taken refuge with us. For these people, we cannot directly give them status, but they can also rely on their own efforts to gain opportunities for advancement." Sawai Pointing to his upper body, "As long as they can help humans when humans need it in the future, then they can also gain a certain status and power."
"For example, if they defeat the new Kirialodians, they will be qualified to manage them." Sawai pointed to the ground, "Those Kilielodians who are hostile to humans are the channels for them to rise. We There is no limit to the number they manage, but the more they manage, the more say they will have in the future empire.”
"If someone is unwilling to attack their own race, their contribution to other things can also give them a higher status, such as using their own abilities to guide humans in a region, or helping humans defeat monsters."
"Of course, once a betrayer appears, you can also gain status by eliminating the betrayer."
Director Sawai smiled gently at the other people on the table, "That's what it means in general. Of course, you can add some other things to be more specific. For example, as long as they are recognized and have a body, they can directly enjoy the second-best The power and status of witches and prophets require contributions to obtain the body.
Of course, remember to use biomechanical methods to create this body to avoid ethics, but remember that you need to set a use year for the body, and it will be scrapped when it expires. Moreover, every time you regain the body, the contribution you need to make will be greater. high. "
"If there is anything more specific to add, we will talk about it later. Anyway, our purpose is one thing. Everything they do now will be rewarded in the future human society."
After Sawai finished talking about a lot of things with a smile, the entire conference room was silent. The expressions of other people were still normal. Horii was completely shocked at this moment.
"Let me think about it." Castor clapped his fingers, "The caste system in India, the chieftain system in China, the methods of capital colonization, supporting puppet regimes and allowing them to fight among themselves, the 'afterlife' of religion,..."
Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched crazily, and he looked at Sawai, "There are so many things in human culture, but you just extracted all the worst ones."
Director Sawai put away his smile, and said in a serious but nonchalant tone, "Compared to your plan that has no ethics, it is obvious that my plan is full of the 'essence' of various human worlds. "
"You know, these are things that have been summarized over thousands of years since the birth of human beings. If it were not for relying on these things, just relying on ideals and beliefs, do you think that guy Yoshioka would take the initiative to choose to join the TPC? That's what he did One step at a time, choosing to betray the old defense forces and join the TPC."
Yoshioka:?
Nanyuan:.
This guy didn’t realize it until now, right?
"Of course, these are all basic." Director Sawai said seriously, "After all, there must be more than one kind of civilization other than human beings. From the current perspective, even the civilizations other than human beings that exist on the earth may not be the same. There is more than one, and we can introduce new mechanisms in the future to allow them to fight each other. For example, if necessary, we can bring back some of the lightning people."
"And even if there is no new civilization on the earth, we can still let them go to the universe. Anyway, what they want is the living space in the future, so give them the living space. The universe is so big, it is too big for humans to explore. It’s troublesome, since they have this need, you can leave these tasks to them.”
"Stop! Stop talking about those colonizations, the use of Kyrielodians to manage the Kyrielodians, and the use of spacemen to fight against spacemen." Chief of Staff Minamihara looked at the speech that was getting more and more off-kilter. , chose to interrupt Director Sawai directly, "We all know these things. If you look through the history books of mankind, they are all in them."
"The problem now is that I'm not sure whether the current level of the earth can do these things. The premise for us to do all this is that the Kilielod people must be afraid of civilization. In other words, we must at least do it, You can take the Kyrielodians and die with us."
It's still the same theory as before. The emergence of the atomic bomb has made everyone treat life and death equally. This is the reason why the world structure has been stable after the emergence of the atomic bomb.
Nan Yuan was not sure whether such a balance really existed between humans and Kyrielodians.
His expression was serious at first, then turned weird, and finally he looked at Masaki Keigo and Casto, "So is there any information we don't know?"
Castor was stunned for a moment, then he and Masaki Keigo looked at each other, and finally said with some difficulty, "How should I put it? I can only tell you that I can't guarantee that humans will develop an empire, but if we just die together, That’s really not a problem.”
As long as he kicks the conch now, even the Kyrielodians will have no choice but to perish together with humans, right?
