Chapter 764 Target Clone and Noise [4K]

"Thank me?"

Song Shi said modestly: "I just did a trivial job. Wasn't it you and Xu Yu who stole, ahem, copied the technology?"

"But most people don't know Xu Yudu or Zhizhiji." Zhizhiji shrugged his wings and said, "You are famous, so they think you did it. The main reason is that many people saw your fight with Apotokal Lius."

While chatting casually, Song Shi had crossed the wasteland and returned to Zhuguang City.

Compared to a few years ago, the current Forging Light City has expanded a whole circle, and a large number of newly built modular buildings guard the main urban area. Most of the influx of people live here, and there was a lot of commotion at first, which was quite chaotic for a while. However, as the Enlightened Ones expanded recruitment, supplemented manpower, and sent people here to maintain order and suppress them severely, this place has now calmed down.

There was no way to be dishonest. The most ferocious and those with ill intentions were killed at the speed of light, and the rest were basically just ordinary people.

The war more than half a year ago caused great losses to the Enlightened's territory. Many functional buildings such as production, military, and daily life were destroyed. After mediation by Paddy Morse, director general of the Security Bureau, there is no large-scale war between the company and the Enlightened at present, but the conflict in secret has never stopped.

Whether it is to make up for the losses in the war, to provide work in exchange for credit, or to recruit soldiers to increase strength, people are needed - these refugees who have squeezed in are the best supplement.

"In the newly developed area of ​​Zhuguang City, what can we buy with the purchasing power of a day's salary of a construction ox or horse? Today we are here."

After entering the city, Song Shi did not continue to sprint, but walked again. In just a short while, many people on the street gradually stopped what they were doing and looked over. One of them was originally muttering to the camera, but he accidentally glanced at him from the corner of his eye and was immediately shocked.

He was stunned for several seconds, then quickly grabbed the drone in hover mode and rushed over.

"Hello! Hello! Judging from your appearance - are you the real Song Shi? I mean in person!"

Song Shi replied: "Yes, I am, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, the other party was so happy that he almost fainted. Countless ideas suddenly emerged in his mind, asking about the battle between him and Apotokal Leus, how many gold coins Emerald Pharmaceuticals had exploded, and where he had been for the past six months.
But when the words really came to his lips, he somehow subconsciously chose the most familiar path to fight.

"Can you please tell me how much you make a day as the president of the emerging security contractor [Jiu Yu Defense]?"

Song Shi burst out laughing and motioned for the other party to point the camera towards him.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm actually not interested in credit points. To be honest, the salary slip that Jiuyu Defense gave me was only one credit point a year. It's just symbolic."

The other party was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of admiration: "It turned out to be like this"

At this time, Song Shi slowly looked around. He smiled and nodded at the people with different expressions, and finally, he aimed at the camera again.

"Go ahead, remember to send this video out."

"I know that in the past six months since I quit the Internet, many people have speculated about my situation. Some said I was beaten to death, some said I was seriously injured and unable to recover, and some said I was concentrating on buying the bottom of Feicui Pharmaceutical's stock. I must clarify here that all of the above are rumors."

"——Everyone, I'm back."

······
“Population is a precious resource and also the cheapest resource.”

After finally squeezing out of the crowd and slipping away to a deserted place, the loom, which had been silent and pretending to be dumb, suddenly made a sound.

"Every country needs population." It looked at the pedestrians behind it, who were only a few shadows left. "Every force can plan the population according to needs. In this regard, the intelligent machines are far inferior to you."

"There's nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence, but are you sure the second half is good?" Song Shi thought about it.

The spinning machine seemed not to hear and whispered: "The [Dust Contract Generation] uses all media channels and outstanding information meme technology to subtly increase the frequency of corporate alliance members giving birth to offspring. Even if other political entities are lacking in technology in this regard, they can also allow the high-level psykers of [Consensus] to achieve the same effect."

"Smart machines can't do this." The loom seemed to be amazed: "It is too easy for you humans to give birth to new offspring. This is probably part of the reason why other intelligent races have never competed with you in history."

"I think this is a misunderstanding." Song Shi didn't care and yawned: "If giving birth to more children means being more competitive, then seafood and insects can give birth to hundreds or thousands of babies at a time. Aren't they able to give birth to more babies than us humans?"

"Hmph." Song Shi grinned as if he remembered something. "Those noble families in the East Land Republic were all prosperous and fertile. They were such big families, but they were still killed by an orphan like me."

As Song Shi was speaking, he noticed that there was no movement around him. The loom suddenly stopped talking and instead stared at him.

"what happened?"

After a long while, the loom said.

".Intellectual individuals cannot understand each other."

Song Shi looked at the other person strangely.

But he didn't care. He turned around and looked towards the east with interest.

"Apotoca Leus died in battle, but Paddy Morse broke through to the second stage of the True Spirit. With one loss and one gain, the Security Bureau now has a much stronger voice in the Corporate Alliance. External forces are eyeing us covetously. If another round of civil war breaks out, they will definitely cause trouble for the company that started it first."

"The downside is that we can't continue to expand for the time being, but the upside is that we don't have to worry about the company stabbing us in the back for the time being."

The textile machine said in a deep voice: "Now that you are awake, our strategic space for future actions will be greatly liberated."

"Ah."

At some point, Chongshi jumped onto Song Shi's hand. He rubbed it carefully, as if he was rubbing his teeth bit by bit.

【East Land Republic】

A giant monster occupying the East Continent, one of the four poles of the "Pan-East Continent Federation".

When I finished my first year of part-time high school, I was kicked out of the orphanage with my bed. I dropped out of school in anger and ventured into society on my own. Those prestigious colleges with a long history closed their doors to me forever.

Maybe now is the time to give it a try.
Got it in.

……

After walking through the newly built outer city, Song Shi returned to the inner city. With the gradual expansion, the former outer city has become the inner city. It is said that there are already some signs of regional discrimination.

Song Shi stood on the rooftop of a skyscraper and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

In the center of the commercial plaza below, a holographic projection was scrolling repeatedly - "All clones, listen to my orders! Warm congratulations to 'Amos Meredith' for successfully obtaining a full human rights identity certificate!"

The holographic projection suddenly changed, transforming into a golden dragon with bared fangs and claws, circling around the giant screen above.

In a rare move, there was no advertisement playing on the giant screen, but instead a carefully produced interview video.

The person who appeared in the video was a white man with an unusually strong physique. His T-shirt was bulging, but when he looked at the camera, his expression was a little dull. He was silent for a while, and then he forced a smile with difficulty. It was physically difficult.

If a person does not speak for a long time, his vocal organs will inevitably degenerate. For a cloned person who has undergone various genetic adjustments and compilations for the purpose of "armed riot control", a smile should not appear in his expression system.

“I am honored to be standing here.”

He spoke haltingly, as language was an inefficient medium for transmitting information. Originally, he relied on the information matrix implanted in his skull to receive information, and the commander gave him remote commands and real-time instructions.

The ideal application scenario promoted by [Emerald Pharmaceuticals] is to greatly reduce labor costs and individual differences, allowing these clone soldiers to be like combat units in real-time strategies and be micro-controlled by commanders at will.

"Uh, my name is Amos Meredith. No one gave me a name. I only had a factory number before." He said with a little embarrassment: "This is a name I generated with the free AI."

"I don't have a biological mother or a biological father. No one is willing to treat me as a human being." He scratched his trouser pockets: "But, here, the Enlightened One, the Forged Light City, it's different. You are willing to treat me as a human being."

"The only things I know are shooting, fighting, and tactical equipment drills. I only know how to kill. My previous master only wanted me to kill." He clasped his hands together, looking serious: "But, after I was rescued, liberated, and brought here, I can do it without having to kill."

He kept talking a lot, and sometimes even spoke incoherently.

"Jade Pharmaceuticals sold me, but this place saved me and gave me a second chance to live. I spent a long time studying for the human rights qualification test for clones." He opened his eyes and murmured, "I want to become a real human being."

The host had been listening patiently without interrupting until this moment, when he spoke: "Amos Meredith, I remember you said that you have an idol you admire very much, right?"

He blushed and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I like Mr. Chu Tonglu very much. He is very, awesome. He is a role model for clones."

"Look behind you." The host said with a smile.

Amos Meredith was stunned and turned around subconsciously.

I didn't know when a figure stood up behind me where there was nothing originally.

A figure with his back to the world.

Then, the other person turned around.

Amos Meredith's eyes widened. He didn't expect it to be Chu, Tong, Lu!

Chu Tonglu smiled, holding a paper certificate in his hand, and walked towards the other party step by step.

"congratulations."

Amos Meredith understood something, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his stiff face.

"Amos Meredith, you have passed all the tests and have obtained the right to become a human being. With this ID card, you can go anywhere in the entire corporate alliance from now on. This is an authoritative certification issued by the [Science Ethics Committee] and no one can question it."

"I know you must be very excited right now, but don't get excited yet, let's..."

Looking at the excited clones on the screen and Chu Tonglu, the authoritative representative of the clones, who was having a cordial conversation with them, Song Shi commented: "The relationship between Chu Tonglu and the clones is like that between monkeys and humans. It seems that they are related, but it also seems that they are not related. Has he really become the representative of the clones?"

"But you've issued a certificate to clones after less than a year of investigation?" Song Shi glanced at the loom: "Don't you think it's too fast?"

"Special times, special circumstances, special treatment." Textile Machine said: "In principle, granting clones full human rights equivalent to natural persons does require a long and careful examination, but we don't have so much time at the moment."

"In fact." The spinning machine paused for a moment: "According to the intelligence collected, during the more than 100 days you were asleep, there have been cases of clones awakening their psychic powers, and there are signs that extreme thoughts are spreading among the group composed mainly of clones."

"Oh." Song Shi said, "And then?"

The loom was speechless for a moment.

The battle half a year ago alarmed the entire corporate alliance. The fall of a giant corporation and the participation of multiple fifth-ring psychics in the war attracted countless attention even from outside the corporate alliance.

The outbreak of wars among various parties, the death of Apotokal Leus, the economic crisis... one thing after another, made the situation at the time very chaotic, and the powerful clone after-sales system originally created by [Emerald Pharmaceuticals] was greatly loosened.

During this turmoil, many clones scattered and flowed into society.

Some of them had their clients killed and had to fend for themselves, some were touched by chance and wanted to escape, and some had heard the propaganda of the Enlightened Ones and the Science Ethics Committee and so came here anxiously.

The Science Ethics Committee stepped up as expected, and after defeating Emerald Pharmaceuticals, no one in society dared to question its authority. The Science Ethics Committee took full control of the review and certification of "clones" - this was the spoils that had been agreed upon when they cooperated with Enlightenment.

It can be said that from now on, at least within the corporate alliance, any matter involving "human cloning" cannot bypass the Science Ethics Committee. Considering the wide range of application scenarios of human cloning, this is equivalent to the Science Ethics Committee having a "sharp knife" that can be used at any time, and can intervene in any event it wants to intervene.

"That's fine, it's not my business anyway." Song Shi shrugged and laughed twice, "Haha, it used to be an intelligent machine, now it's a clone. Loom, can you calculate whether there will be new species like this in the world in the future?"

"Taking many factors into consideration, I think the possibility of the next 'intelligent machine' or 'clone' appearing in the future is more than 80%."

"Hey--"

Hearing this, Song Shi stretched his body contentedly.

"The future is going to be really exciting."
