Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

"Of course we can. Our Ling Su Research Institute has already conducted relevant experiments... Haven't you all read those research reports?"

Qin Huanyu glanced at the three elders, whose expressions were slightly embarrassed, with a hint of surprise, and explained:

"Strictly speaking, this technology is still a byproduct of human-machine direct connection technology and the Jade Network Project. Our initial intention was to implant chips in the human brain so that humans could connect to the network anytime and anywhere through their brains... just like in many cyberpunk science fiction novels."

"But later we found in simulation tests that the chips manufactured with the current technology are not up to standard in terms of security... But this security standard is based on civilian promotion, so it doesn't matter to criminals who are inherently evil, right? Anyway, even if something goes wrong, it's just one scumbag who dies, and it can reduce carbon emissions and save food."

"Of course, more importantly, real experimental data is much more useful than simulations. Sacrificing oneself for science is the only contribution those inherently evil people can make to the country."

Now everyone understood Qin Huanyu's meaning, and the more gentle and upright of the three elders' expressions turned somewhat unpleasant:

"So the real purpose of your plan is to use those criminals for human experiments? Or human experiments with a high mortality rate?"

"It's not that high."

Since she was aiming for a zero anyway, Qin Huanyu shrugged indifferently.

"According to our institute's previous calculations, the probability of people who have the experimental chip implanted dying unexpectedly within 5 years is less than 27%."

"Isn't the probability high enough? What you've done can't even be called human experimentation anymore, it's murder, you know that?"

"Okay, okay... I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

The more upright Grand Secretary immediately bristled and glared at Qin Huanyu, ready to lecture her, but was stopped by another Grand Secretary. Then, that Grand Secretary gave Qin Huanyu a meaningful look:

"You seem to have absolutely no regard for the lives of criminals?"

"Not all criminals. I will still respect those who know their mistakes and can correct them."

Qin Huanyu abandoned her indifferent attitude and answered seriously:

"If we compare the country to a machine, then the people are the parts of that machine. Some parts are broken but can be repaired, so we let them continue to shine and function. But some parts are inherently inferior and cannot be repaired. We must find a way to remove these parts from the machine in order to ensure that the machine itself is not damaged by inferior parts."

"Let me tell you the truth."

After using metaphors to illustrate her point, Qin Huanyu hesitated for a moment, then straightened her back and said in plain language:

"For those inherently evil scum who have no possibility of repentance, I think it's too lenient to send them to jail; they should all be killed!"

"But how can you know if a criminal is capable of repentance?"

Immediately, a senior official retorted:

"Some criminals are born with superb acting skills. They behave very well while serving their sentences in prison, but as soon as they are released, they immediately reveal their true colors and commit evil deeds... How can you avoid this? Conversely, how can you distinguish those who look evil but still have a kind heart? Young lady, you are too idealistic."

"No, you're underestimating the power of technology, sir."

Qin Huanyu met the old man from Fengge's gaze without flinching, her eyes brimming with confidence:

"Your question might stump others, but it certainly won't stump me... I have clashed with powerful enemies with psychic abilities on the level of consciousness many times, researched soul digitization technology for many years, and even successfully established the Jade Network project! Since a person's soul can be digitized, it can certainly be reflected through data whether he is evil or not, just like you can open the status bar in a game to directly see the NPC's attributes."

"If this project is approved, I can present the country with a completely new system in three years at most... well, I'll call it a psychological measurement system for now."

"Through this system, I can monitor a person's mental state at any time and calculate the likelihood of him committing a crime by measuring the evil index in his soul, thus nipping all crimes in the bud."

“Those criminals who act on impulse will never have the chance to become criminals again. And those scoundrels who are inherently evil will be eliminated before they can commit evil.”

"you……"

The three elders looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

As senior officials, their intelligence authority was second only to the royal family. They naturally knew how outrageous Qin Huanyu's scientific research talent was, and they also knew about Qin Huanyu's current achievements. They had no doubt that Qin Huanyu could develop a psychological measurement system within three years.

But that's precisely what's frightening.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, one of the elders spoke again:

"Since your psychological measurement system can digitize and analyze a person's soul in detail, it can also see through all of a person's secrets, right? Wouldn't that mean no one has any privacy? Haven't you considered issues of human rights, morality, and ethics?"

"It is precisely because this has been considered that this system is only a plan."

Qin Huanyu shrugged again:

"Otherwise, I would have started developing it long ago... I personally quite like this system. It can make society more stable and efficient, and become a breeding ground for rapid technological development."

"Alright, this is just a test. The three elders don't need to take it too seriously."

At this moment, the Empress finally spoke, with a hint of a smile:

"Ayu is just offering us a solution from a completely new perspective. We may not agree with it, but there's no need to be so surprised. After all, Ayu grew up in the Lingsu Research Institute, so it's not surprising that she advocates using technology to solve all problems... Besides, I'm quite curious about what kind of technology Ayu can come up with."

After speaking, the Empress did not wait for the three Grand Secretaries to reply, and looked at Qin Huanyu:

"Let's move on to the next question... Do you really think there's absolutely no problem with the declining marriage and birth rates?"

"Of course... didn't I write it very clearly in the exam paper? As long as we don't consider the issues of ethics and morality, humans can be mass-produced through assembly lines, and even genetically selected artificial humans can be better than natural humans. There is no need to worry about the reduction in natural reproduction."

Qin Huanyu's answer was quite direct and frank, leaving everyone speechless.

Even the radical among the three Grand Secretaries felt that Qin Huanyu was being too radical.

"What if we need to consider ethics and morality? What would you do then?"

Only the Empress remained unmoved, continuing to press on with a light laugh.

I still maintain my original view.

Qin Huanyu remained composed and, after a few seconds of contemplation, replied:

“I even think that the current decline in marriage and birth rates is actually a good thing—as technology continues to develop, many basic jobs no longer need human labor and can be replaced by machines. In other words, to maintain the same social productivity, we need fewer and fewer people. Too many people participating in the workforce will lead to fierce competition and involution, reducing the quality of life.”

"In short, based on my calculations, I believe that for some time to come, the lower the population, the higher the quality of life... as long as the population does not fall below a certain base. And the decline in marriage and birth rates is actually a natural phenomenon in line with this era."

Chapter 162 can be omitted, but it cannot be missing.

"So that's what you were thinking..."

The Empress nodded thoughtfully, offering no further comment on Qin Huanyu's remarks, and instead moved directly to the next question:

"Your idea is probably related to your views on artificial intelligence... You seem to want artificial intelligence to replace human jobs as much as possible?"

"Yes."

Qin Huanyu nodded calmly and said loudly:

"Machines are far more efficient than humans and are much more adaptable to various environments. Many dangerous jobs no longer require safety considerations, thus preventing tragedies. Therefore, as technology continues to advance, the number of jobs that require human labor will only decrease."

"Nonsense!"

One of the senior officials couldn't help but glare and puff out his beard:

"Technology is meant to serve humanity, not to mean that the meaning of human existence is to develop technology! You've completely put the cart before the horse! Replacing a large number of jobs with artificial intelligence can indeed increase productivity and reduce accidents, but what about those who lose their jobs? They will become a source of instability!"

"My lord, this shows that your thinking is outdated."

Qin Huanyu couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Are unemployed people a source of insecurity? Wrong. To be precise, it's the unemployed who have no source of income who are a source of insecurity! Why not just give them money? Getting paid without having to work is a dream for many people, even if the salary isn't high, as long as it's enough to maintain their daily lives."

"Giving money to the unemployed? Isn't that even more ridiculous?"

The Grand Secretary was clearly annoyed:

"Isn't it unfair to those who work hard if they get something for nothing? You reap what you sow, and social resources should be distributed according to labor. The ancestral laws cannot be changed! Otherwise, how can the country develop if everyone lies around doing nothing?"

"Yes, it's not a good idea to give money directly to the unemployed. It will cause a series of problems in public opinion, and public opinion should not be underestimated. It is a force that can cause social unrest."

The Empress nodded beside her, smiling as she looked at Qin Huanyu:

"But you must have a better way, right?"

"Of course, Your Majesty is wise."

Qin Huanyu first flattered the Empress before smiling and saying:

"If you insist that it is wrong to let the unemployed get something for nothing, I can also arrange a job for them that does not require effort, does not involve infighting, and has no limit on the number of positions available."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The glaring, bristling Grand Secretary immediately retorted:

"Such a job simply doesn't exist!"

"That's why I said you're out of touch, sir. You underestimate the power of technology."

Qin Huanyu seemed to have been waiting for this question, and immediately said smugly:

"You should know about the Jade Network project, right? As long as we expand the Jade Network to cover the whole country and connect all citizens with it, we can perfectly solve this problem... Those unemployed people can earn money by providing Jade Network with their wisdom and soul computing power."

"The human brain is actually very powerful, but most of the time it operates at very low power. Only those who do research and creative work can keep their brains operating at a high power for a long time."

“Under normal circumstances, the performance that the human brain wastes is wasted. But the Jade Network can concentrate the computing power and wisdom of the human brain during its idle time and make it available to those who need it... It can give researchers higher research efficiency and give combat personnel more acute thinking and physical control.”

"If this plan can be implemented, most people will no longer need to work. They can sleep in every day, eat whatever they want, and spend their days playing games at home or going out with friends. There will be no more pressure in life... In fact, their job would be to relax their brains as much as possible. How wonderful would that be?"

"Researchers who receive the extra computing power and intelligence from the Jade Network can accelerate the technological development of human civilization, experience the joy of exploring the truth, gain fame for their research achievements, and become social elites... Everyone can get what they need, isn't that great?"

"This...this...this!"

The Grand Secretary, as the chief examiner, felt there was something wrong with Qin Huanyu's words, but his limited knowledge prevented him from articulating it. He blushed and hesitated for a long while before finally saying:

"In your plan, aren't ordinary people just like batteries? Have you considered their dignity?"

"Nobody forced them to do this."

Qin Huanyu shrugged:

"If you don't want to just lie down and give up, then work hard to do scientific research and become a social elite... I never think there are too many researchers who can drive technological progress, and it would be even better if everyone could be a scientist. Besides, have you done any public opinion polls, sir? Based on the conditions I just mentioned, do you believe that the vast majority of people will not feel that their dignity has been insulted? They will only be eager to do it. Some people might even hold up signs and march to get their cities connected to the Jade Network as soon as possible."

"This……"

The Grand Secretary who was facing Qin Huanyu was completely speechless.

In the end, the Queen smiled and smoothed things over:

"Ayu's plan is indeed technically and logically feasible, but the security of JadeNet is still under observation, right? So let's leave it at that and wait until the security and stability of JadeNet are confirmed before discussing anything else."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Huanyu quickly dropped her smug look and acted obediently.

The subsequent problems were all similar.

Faced with some of the persistent problems and challenges of modern society, Qin Huanyu's solution is to pursue technological advancement. She believes that sufficiently advanced technology can solve any problem, and even if it cannot solve the problem itself, it can solve all those who create the problem and maintain social order and stability.

Soon, we arrived at the last question.

This time, it was the Empress herself who asked the question, looking at Qin Huanyu with great interest:

"You think that only the Holy Zhou Kingdom needs to exist in this world, which means you support launching wars to dominate the world? But other countries are not weak. The war that started a hundred years ago and lasted for more than 30 years is enough to prove that the result of military domination is hundreds of millions of corpses and rivers of blood. Do you have any good ideas to minimize our country's casualties?"

"Have."

Qin Huanyu had clearly thought about this question beforehand, and answered with confidence:

"My approach is still to advance technology... As long as we can gain a major technological advantage in three areas, the war will be a crushing victory, and we can win with minimal cost."

"Oh? Which three aspects?"

This time, not only the Empress, but everyone in the side hall was very interested in Qin Huanyu's answer.

"The first one is, of course, information network technology."

Qin Huanyu smiled and first held up one finger:

"If we can lock down the enemy's network before the war starts, preventing them from using the network for communication and finance, we can paralyze the enemy by a large margin. In modern society, the main payment method is mobile payment with virtual currency, and very few people use cash anymore. Once the enemy's financial network collapses, the social unrest caused by ordinary people alone will be enough to give them a hard time."

"The second is space technology."

Qin Huanyu then raised her second finger:

"Just as air superiority was crucial in warfare in the last era, air superiority is equally important in modern warfare! If we can destroy all of the enemy's military and civilian satellites immediately after the start of the war, and protect our own satellites... Hmph, without satellite positioning, the enemy won't be able to launch a counterattack, let alone find out where we are! Modern navigation technology is far too reliant on satellite positioning, and captains and sailors who are still proficient in those skills from our ancestors are now a minority."

"The third... is biotechnology."

Qin Huanyu raised a third finger, but this time there was a hint of reluctance on her face:

"The foundation of a nation's existence is its people. Even if it loses all its territory, as long as its people and culture remain, the nation has not perished... The reverse is also true. The most efficient way to destroy a nation is to kill everyone in that nation! If we could develop a virus with a long incubation period, infectiousness during the incubation period, multiple transmission routes, and a high mortality rate, and that would not harm the people of our Holy Zhou, and let this virus spread globally, we could achieve a swift victory."

"you……!"

The moderate Grand Secretary finally lost his temper, his face contorted with rage:

"The first two methods are fine, but don't you think the last one is too cruel? Even if they are citizens of an enemy country, they are still human beings, our fellow human beings!"

"It is indeed a bit cruel, and I felt a little guilty when I suggested this method."

Qin Huanyu nodded obediently at first, then sighed:
