Genius Club-Chapter 1094 - 15 Metaphysics_3

"And I..."

Lin Xian pointed to himself, smiling slightly:

"And I, come from the era in which Lady Du Yao lives, I can meet the living Lady Du Yao."

Clap.

Gao Wen breathed heavily, overwhelmed with excitement, tightly grasping Lin Xian’s hands:

"You really are a Space-Time Traveler! The information you just mentioned... Especially your understanding of me, it’s... it’s incredibly detailed!"

"Quick, tell me, how exactly do you perform space-time travel? Is it possible without the Time Shuttle Machine and Space-Time Particle? Also, at Lady Du Yao’s end, you can see her alive? Then you must protect her well! She is indeed the brightest pearl of the Hibernation Field!"

"The abrupt and huge changes in human society, as well as the disconnection in the scientific field, ultimately, are the consequences of memory loss! Even with the ’Memory Notebook’ and ’memory recording,’ but human memory is so vast and detailed, how much can a few notebooks and recordings capture?"

"Even I, after waking up, spent many years relearning knowledge. It’s truly a waste of time; if only I, and many others, could retain our memories long after waking up from prolonged hibernation... the world would never have turned out this way!"

Lin Xian, soothing Emperor Gao Wen, softly said:

"The situation on my end is indeed a bit complicated to explain, and having just arrived in this space-time, I am quite unfamiliar with the worldview and background."

"Especially the 2400 year super disaster, the Savior Company, why Donghai City has become this deformed shape, could you explain it to me in detail?"

Emperor Gao Wen nodded without hesitation.

Ever since he believed Lin Xian was a Space-Time Traveler, his eyes have been shining with excitement.

Being able to witness a Space-Time Traveler.

It naturally represents that the theories of him and Big Face Cat’s father, Chen Heping, are correct, efforts were not in vain, and human’s future is filled with hope!

Thus.

He narrated this part of the history to Lin Xian in detail.

The initial part, like what Xu Yiyi described, involved the millions of Mechanical Androids, hidden for years by the Savior Company, being activated from underground storages after the 2400 year super disaster, leading mankind to rebuild their homes.

The cause of the 2400 year super disaster, Gao Wen also does not know, nobody does, it remains a mystery even in The Eighth Dreamland.

Under the leadership of millions of Mechanical Androids, humanity did not experience a single day of war or famine, swiftly recovering.

These Androids are truly capable.

Powered 24 hours by the Miniature Nuclear Battery, they not only protect humanity but also work with several times the efficiency of humans, all day and night without rest.

From that moment, the Savior Company truly became the Savior, and those Androids, too, like Angels, brought grace and hope to humanity.

Later.

All over the world, modernized cities steadily established, the Savior Company becoming the manager of each city; Mechanical Androids, as people hoped, became the city’s monitors, enforcers, and protectors.

The city opened its doors to everyone, without rejection, as long as they followed regulations and laws.

Post-calamity, humanity finally lived a life of happiness, contentment, security, and satisfaction.

However...

Times of war had their issues, and peaceful eras had their own problems.

Many moral issues submerged during disastrous times, gradually resurfaced, affecting the normal life of city residents.

Even though the untiring, kind-hearted, helpful Androids set examples for humans to learn from.

Things went contrary to hopes.

Some always took such matters for granted, became indifferent, even ingratitude turned kindness to enmity, with incidents of attacks and insults on Androids taking place.

Various negative trends gradually arose and spread.

Therefore, having become the city’s managers and power holders, the Mechanical Androids, began basing on human behaviors, to launch a personal scoring system and scoring rules using big data.

At first, everyone hailed this system with cheers.

However.

Every system has its loopholes; every rule has its imperfections.

Those intent on exploiting these found ways to game the system, exploit bugs.

Malicious score boosting, framing others for score deduction incidents occurred frequently.

To counter these exploiters, to more strictly control illegal activities, the scoring rules became increasingly detailed, increasingly extensive, even including swearing and other prohibited terms...

The manual of regulations grew thicker, and the resulting residential life became increasingly unbearable.

"This is a process that’s very difficult to manage ’moderation’ in."

Gao Wen straightforwardly said:

"If humans were the enforcers and power holders of the cities, perhaps such extreme situations wouldn’t occur."

"Undoubtedly, the initial intention of the Savior Company was good, but Mechanical Androids, after all, are androids. They only process everything according to logic and rules."

"This leads to... what should have been a self-regulating human society turning into a vicious cycle of finding loopholes, filling loopholes, and making rules."

"So, this is also a matter that’s very hard to judge right from wrong."

Gao Wen sighed:

"Setting rules and standardizing behaviors is definitely correct, but the problem lies in the fact that many things simply cannot be measured. Everyone knows about truth, goodness, and beauty... but what is truth, goodness, and beauty, what degree qualifies as truth, goodness, and beauty, those things have no definitive answers and shouldn’t have definitive answers."
