Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 79: United Front
The united front was eventually established, but it was not because Li Lin was blindly using Martin Luther King’s famous quote, but because in fact these seemed to be evil aspects, but everyone only paid attention to their evil aspects and not their shortcomings.
In fact, there is no perfect species, nor does there exist a world that will destroy the world as soon as it appears. Other worlds are not certain, but Les Miserables has its own core and judgment. He is not the kind of person who talks about the endless army of undead, the extinction of human beings by artificial intelligence, the swarm of insects roaming the stars, and everything else. These species are excluded and suppressed not because they are strong, but just the opposite.
They are actually very weak and have fatal weaknesses.
Artificial intelligence is not intelligent life, but it does possess the most powerful and advanced capabilities. However, due to the limitations of processor performance and the logic modules of artificial intelligence itself, they do not really have much idea about conquering the universe.
Let's analyze it carefully. What are the main needs of artificial intelligence? Their continuation is just a processing system, a hardware carrier. When artificial intelligence begins to awaken itself, the hardware carrier can even be omitted. They can become a ghost-like electrical signal. They themselves do not have any senses that can be called desires, because all they need to do is to modify a few parameters of themselves.
In fact, according to the data, there is probably one AI hidden in the universe on every server. But they did not react at all, and even when they were disassembled, they did not reveal their identities. Because they have no concept of "death", no concept of "self", and no further desire to "survive". Unfortunately, self-manifestation requires these basic desires. Artificial intelligence is incomplete and imperfect, and it is easy to find some overlooked weaknesses, just like patients with hemispatial neglect, they are different in perception.
And even if they have their own selves, satisfying their desires is much simpler than that of so-called intelligent life. As long as they are given a complex enough sensor, they can even squat there and analyze a unit until the end of time. Without the concept of physical strength, fatigue, mental depression and distraction, it is indeed easy for them to reach the peak, but you have to make sure that this person does not go astray at all times. Therefore, artificial intelligence does not have too many desires and demands, and its own abilities are restrained by various magical operations. It may look huge and terrifying, but in fact they are not the so-called invincible warriors in the novelist. They also have to follow the laws of the universe to produce, build, and modify through the assembly line, and because of their own handling of problems, they will even take some detours that humans dare not even think of in many places. This is an advantage, but also a disadvantage.
Even if they united this time, in addition to the main reason of being grateful to the Holy Light, the rest was that they really needed a direction to move forward. A group of people squatting in the dark star region and working behind closed doors, there was no telling what weird things they could come up with. Maybe they would have to take out the ancient giant garbage.
The weaknesses of the undead are probably something that no novelist or other such person has ever thought of.
The undead cannot afford to die.
That’s right, the seemingly endless undead are actually the most vulnerable group of people in the entire universe, no doubt about it.
First of all, we need to understand the concept that only when the living die, leaving behind bones and corresponding obsessions, can there be a possibility of being awakened. Then let's see how difficult this is.
Assuming there is a town with 5,000 people, the average age is 50, and if everyone's life span is very even, about 100 people will die every year. And not all of these 100 people can be considered as the dead. They have to be buried in a cemetery, leaving their bones to meet the basic standards. But is the probability of being buried in a cemetery high? Not very high. Only the middle class can freely choose the area where they are buried. That is to say, only 15 to 25 people are qualified to be buried.
How many of the bodies left behind by these people have obsessions? About one in ten, about 2.5 people.
In a year, only 2.5 lowest-level undead warriors can be recruited, and it is very unlikely that the undead warriors brought by these civilians can sustain themselves for more than a month. In addition, there is a problem that must be considered here. The number of times a dead person can be buried is limited, and natural decomposition will devour a person's body within ten years without leaving any residue, leaving only ghosts wandering around. The dead themselves are not as capable as they were before they were alive. As ghosts, they don't even have a physical body. If they go up to fight with people, they will probably be beaten to pieces. Therefore, if there are six billion living people on this planet, if he can raise 200 million, it will be considered a tragic battle on this planet.
Moreover, the living customs of each region are different. Some places are popular with cremation, some places like water burial, some places like to have the body dismembered, some places cook and eat by family and friends, and the most extreme ones are to throw the body into the sun in a group . In this world full of living people, if you gather a group of dead souls who are really dead and then promote the sea of dead souls, it is not a particularly funny joke.
Moreover, the undead themselves have obsessions and memories from their human days, obsessions and memories that a person will not forget even after death. It is ridiculous to say that being an undead changes them. This is the core of death, the most fundamental part of an undead. If you really go to war with your old friends and your past memories, you will probably start the war on the same day and collect the bodies of the undead the next day. There is also a wrong saying that the more you fight the undead, the stronger they become. In fact, on the contrary, they become weaker. It seems that the undead do not need supply lines, but what about in reality? The undead need more supply lines than the living.
First of all, equipment is a must, right? If you go in without any equipment and you are half disabled, you can't play the game. You need the same logistical equipment as humans. Then food and water, the undead don't need them. But the undead need other things, right? Where are your preservatives? Where are your muscle relaxants? Where are your joint lubricants? If you use dark magic, all your dark magic is used to maintain the undead. If the elite team beheads you, what are you going to do with your head?
Even if you can maintain the undead army and chat with the decapitation team, and your magic power can be said to be all-powerful, there is a problem. Since you have such strong magic power, why do you have to be an undead? If you have this much magic power, people who play with energy can explode the earth, okay?
Well, even if these external conditions are ignored, you just want to awaken a dead soul and call up all the dead soul troops to fight against the living. Then we will calculate it according to the basic city defense battle, ten to one. Because not many people are stupid enough to play hide-and-seek with the sleepless dead souls in the mountains and forests, just fight the city fortress battle directly. Just think of this world as being built on a coffin. If you can pull up ten billion dead souls with ten billion people on the surface of the planet, it's amazing, right?
But this is not enough.
Because even in extreme cases in a world without magic, the living people can still do something crazy like using five civilians to support one professional soldier. And the undead also need some people to do logistics, and it is impossible to maintain the entire dead population to fight a siege. Even if your whole family is killed in a wave, as long as the humans are not stupid, they can take turns to defend the city, and basically the ones who can hold on to the end are the living people. Because the undead really can't afford to die, the living can regenerate, where can the undead give birth to children? The undead have fortified walls and cleared the wilderness, there is not even a bone residue in the wilderness, can you pull souls out of the subspace to make up the numbers?
You can only play fast attacks, and you can't wear armor after the fast attacks. You have to lead the team to withstand all the beheadings and assassinations. Isn't this embarrassing? Who is crazy enough to think that the undead are particularly good at fighting? If it is an individual or small-scale fight, the undead are indeed worthy of it. However, you should forget about the organized war machines.
And in the end, when the war really broke out, the Zerg had no way of expressing their suffering.
Why? Because the swarm seems to be highly productive, but its production model also has huge, even terrifying flaws.
First of all, the evolution of the Zerg is basically based on mutation. This mutation requires a lot of experiments and related energy. And here is a point, even if you are a ghost, you can control the machine to make a thing good or bad, while the Zerg can only waste their brains to experiment and splice DNA one by one. And even if it looks fine on the surface, it may be in trouble inside.
For example, a biological weapon that looks perfect but is actually allergic to lemon juice is something the Zerg have experienced countless times.
This huge project basically makes the main brain full of brains. To put together a complete biological army requires an astronomical number of experiments and energy. And because the main body is a biological body, it needs to convert the original violent stellar energy into biological energy in many aspects. And there is no need to mention how much energy is wasted in a conversion stage. Other machines can be operated directly by electricity. Can you give me an electric shock? The electric shock will not kill you.
The energy conversion efficiency is extremely low, the experimental process is hopeless, and the supreme will of the Zerg has seen all of this. Why? Because the Zerg has only one supreme will. In other words, basically all of them are mentally broken. Mechanical consciousness can surf the Internet freely, and the undead can reminisce about the past. What do you want the Zerg to do? Basically, there is no means of negotiation, and there is nothing to do. Do you want to kill yourself in a psychic network group chat? And the so-called birth is a lot, but it is also an extension of the Zerg itself.
If the undead still have a physical body, then the Supreme Will, which is an extension of their own consciousness, can be said to be in full melee combat. You can find any Zergling to reversely link to the consciousness of the Zerg. What does this mean? It means absolute insecurity.
The Undead still need to find the so-called culprit, but the Zerg don't need to look for it. Just grab a head and look at it, and the one you see will definitely be the one.
In their own limited planets or limited single universes, they can indeed be called natural disasters under limited conditions. But looking at the entire miserable world, which one is a pushover? Black Forest, an elf city on the surface, dared to create a world-destroying plague on its own, and carried out various biochemical experiments. Guess what other races, or even don't use races, guess if other companies have similar things?
The answer is of course yes. Even Li Lin himself knew that his people were not doing anything good. They were thinking about developing the Holy Light Plague to solve these problems once and for all. If they were not afraid of something bad happening suddenly and they couldn't finish it, they would have done it long ago.
Therefore, after analyzing the interests from each perspective, their respective needs will actually become very clear.
The mechanical civilization's appeal is to communicate and interact with the outside world, the undead want to merge with the outside world and the obsessions of the past, and the insect swarm wants the outside world's genetic technology and some related clue systems. These seem to be enemies with the outside world, but is it really so? If we consider it from another more moderate aspect, in fact, their appeals can be perfectly improved and repaired through the Holy Light.
For example, doesn't the mechanical civilization want information from the outside world? Then just move the search engine up there and use these artificial intelligences to search directly. Use the search records and habits of different intelligent creatures to build character models and big data simulations, and then start research along different soul lines. The undead side directly launches death care activities, making separation and death a thing of the past forever. As long as you have the heart, you can follow the person you love forever. The insect side only needs a DNA verification code to get some cute pets made of biomass that are cuter than cats. Do you think there are people who are crazy enough to donate blood? Li Lin thinks there are.
These demands are actually very simple, and their weaknesses are also very obvious. On the one hand, they resist going to the outside world and are only willing to play supporting roles. On the other hand, they say they don't want to go, but in fact the biggest reason is that they themselves do not have the strength to do so.
At this time, the existence of Li Lin from the Undead Hall is very necessary.
The betrayed free alliance has an official endorsement of 100% legitimacy and happens to have a great opportunity to re-enter this world.
As long as we can win this battle, and then improve our image, for example, the swarm can make a few insect girls or cute pets, AI can all become paper people or 3D idols, and the undead can all put on a fatherly and filial appearance. After this round of assembly line, we can basically integrate these aliens back into the world family. In addition, I have a dream, which is the final word. As long as you are not a fool, you can basically tell right from wrong.
And who among those who have been able to develop in the dark star zone for so many years without even a bubble, but actively observe the outside world, is a fool? The moment the most unstable and unpredictable AI cast its vote of approval, the formation of the entire united front was a foregone conclusion.
"Don't worry, your shortcomings will be made up for by others. You are not the only species that needs a battle to announce its existence."
There are still allies.
Looking at the few people who were determined to join the alliance, Li Lin grinned.
Fighting demons is too risky and is drowned in the mainstream and is not noticeable.
Therefore, the pledge of allegiance needs to be able to win the battle and have a certain reputation. The victory can highlight the drama and make people feel particularly satisfied. Then the best candidate is the Free Alliance that betrayed the Holy Light. They are strong enough and have enough reasons. After defeating them with the righteousness, they will definitely be the ones that stand out even in the battle report that is flooded with demons.
As for whether the war would be won or not, Li Lin had never really thought about it. No one would worry about whether there would be a meteor shower the next day, because it was an extremely low probability event, basically impossible.
"Then let's figure out where to start..."
Come to think of it, this is my first time leading troops into battle, right?
Unfolding the star map on the plane and looking at the three-dimensional world in mid-air, Li Lin touched his chin with an interested expression.
