Han Lang descended to the bottom of the shaft and found that it was indeed a prehistoric civilization's launch base. Deep underground, there were broad-gauge railways and heavy-duty transport vehicles. The vehicles carried interstellar cruise missiles that were more than ten kilometers long.
These missiles were equipped with warp engines and controllable fusion reactors. After launch, they could warp like a starship and attack targets thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away.
As for the warheads on the missiles, they were high-energy fusion warheads. Just a few of these interstellar cruise missiles would be enough to destroy a target the size of the moon.
Fortunately, this base was now abandoned. In order to protect the secrets of the base, the prehistoric civilization had added magnetic materials to the buildings. The bugs hated this magnetic material and refused to go near it. Thus, this place became the only safe place on the entire planet.
"This way, please."
"Be careful where you step."
"He Feng is waiting for you."
Many robots surrounded Han Lang. They were very polite, and their attitude toward Han Lang was a little humble.
"Are you all AI robots? Are you all equipped with logic chips? "Han Lang asked them curiously.
"No, we don't have logic chips."
"Then how did you obtain AI?"
"We learned from our teacher, He Feng, to learn knowledge and manners."
"He Feng? He's also a robot? "
"Yes."
"A robot like you?"
"It's not quite the same. He knows a lot. He's our teacher."
"I'm talking about the model. Is He Feng a robot of the same model as you?"
"He's the same. Our model is a defective product from that era. It's long been eliminated."
Not long after, Han Lang saw He Feng. He was the same as the other robots. He also had a milky-white shell, but his electronic eyes were deeper. The other robots' eyes were purer, like children.
Even their behavior was similar. The robots sat in a circle around He Feng like primary school students in class. He Feng invited Han Lang to sit on a metal chair.
"Welcome." He Feng said to Han Lang. He turned around and said to the robots sitting on the ground, "Look, this is the human race I've told you about many times. Who can tell me what's the difference between the human race and the Protoss race?"
Whoosh!
Many robots raised their arms, and many others lowered their heads in thought. Han Lang was very surprised. He felt like he was back in kindergarten.
"You tell me."
"Yes." A robot stood up and said, "Humans and the Protoss originated from the same ancestor, but there was a mutation in their genes. The Protoss obtained a powerful superpower, while the human race has 47 fewer mutant genes than the Protoss, so it is very difficult for the human race to unlock a superpower. The probability is only one in ten thousand."
"Therefore, in the past, the Protoss were known as the upper class, and the humans were known as the lower class. In terms of structure, in addition to the 47 different sets of mutated genes, there are also 23 different sets of inherited genes."
"Of course, the genetic difference is internal. As for the external difference, there is only one, and that is, the human race's frontal bone does not have the ability to open the Third Eye."
"In the past, because the Protoss were powerful, they looked down on humans who did not have high-level genetic mutations. So, they implemented a family planning policy for the human race. Only the highest level of the human race had the right to reproduce. In other words, a couple could raise one offspring."
"As for those humans who did not have high-level genetic mutations, they completely lost the opportunity to reproduce. In prehistoric times, the human race originally outnumbered the Protoss, but about three thousand years after the family planning policy was implemented, the number of humans had been reduced to one in ten thousand of the Protoss, and they became a minority race in the Milky Way."
Breeze nodded slightly and let the robot sit down. He said in a deep voice, "Your answer is very good. Now, let us think about a question. Based on the same ancestry as the Protoss, they set a family planning policy for the human race. Is it right? Tell me. "
"I think it's wrong, because by doing so, it eliminates the diversity of the same race. As we all know, diversity is nature. The Protoss' practice of wiping out the lower races goes against the laws of nature."
"I agree." Another robot said, "The laws of nature cannot be transcended. The Protoss hoped that the human race would perish, so they adopted a family planning policy. But the reality was different from what they hoped. After the Protoss left the Milky Way, the remaining humans quickly developed and became the new masters of the Milky Way. Their population increased exponentially in less than two eras.
"This is the retaliation of the laws of nature. That is to say, policies based on the theory of population control will not work. Just like the humans who now occupy the Milky Way, they used the same method as the Protoss to suppress the Witch race, the Arch-Race, the River Origin race, and other minority races.
"If one day, the human race is forced to leave the Milky Way, these minority races will also retaliate and develop into a large race that can compete with the humans. This is the same reason why the Protoss failed to suppress the human race. No life can exist beyond the laws of nature."
Han Lang sat there, dumbfounded!
Although these robots did not have logic chips, they were a group of philosophers! Where the hell did he come to!?
.....
At the same time that Han Lang encountered a group of robots who liked to study philosophy, at the crash site of the Hell's Angle-class battleship.
The fire had been extinguished. With a loud bang, a hole was smashed open from the inside of the battleship wreckage, and a disfigured creature crawled out.
He was like a melted candle. His skin, muscle tissue, and even bones had been burned into charcoal, but he still did not die. He crawled with difficulty.
Many insects rushed up, but they did not attack this disfigured creature. Instead, they quietly formed a circle and looked at him.
The almost charred humanoid creature sat on the ground. His charcoal-like skin and muscles began to fall off. At the same time, new cells were constantly growing from the zero-degree brain region in his head.
Not long after, this creature became a human. He looked like a newborn baby. His skin was tender and smooth, without a single scar. As for the burned tissues and bones, they had been replaced by new cells.
This was the Dark Apostle. He did not die.
Although Han Lang had destroyed his battleship and caused a huge explosion and fire, the Dark Apostle was a genetically synthesized life form. As long as their zero-degree brain region was still there, they could be reborn again and again.
Opening his black eyes, the Apostle looked at the insects around him and revealed a smile.
His black eyes quickly changed, turning brown. From his appearance, it seemed that he had copied the genetic characteristics of a human in the Milky Way. In short, he did not look like an Apostle, but more like a human.
"Are you guys okay?" The Apostle asked the insects.
"What? That human is still alive? "
"With the robots?"
"It's okay. They are just a group of learning robots that were eliminated. Their structure is flawed. As for that human, he has no way of leaving this planet."
"Now, take me to see your mother. It's time. You guards of hell, I'm sure you don't want to continue watching those robots out of boredom, right?"
"What? You want to destroy all the robots? Because one of them has awakened and activated the self-learning function? "
"That's too bad. Back then, it was the learning function that made these robots not like robots at all."
"Don't worry, you will get what you want. But now, take me to your mother."
The Dark Apostle seemed to know the language of insects as he conversed with the insects.
After receiving the order, a group of insects began to dig on the ground. They were experts at digging, and their efficiency was no worse than the Devil's Claw. Soon, a tunnel was dug from the surface to the underground. The Dark Apostles followed the insects, saying that they wanted to see their mother.
When the Dark Apostle entered the tunnel, the insects sealed it up again. From the outside, it was just flat yellow soil. There were no signs that it had been dug before. As for the Dark Apostle and the insects, they had already gone deep underground.
.....
"Can we stop for a moment?" Han Lang finally could not help but interrupt Breeze's lesson.
"Oh, sorry, I was too excited. The prison has not had any outsiders for a long time. Moreover, you are a human, so my old habit is acting up again. I only wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to teach them what it means to be a human and let them have a deeper understanding of the laws of nature. That's why I neglected your feelings. Sorry," Breeze said apologetically.
Han Lang swallowed his saliva and said, "Prison? This is a prison? "
"Yes," Breeze said calmly. "Learning robots like us are considered by the Protoss to be rebellious. We are stupid and incurable robots, so we were abandoned here. As for those insects, they are responsible for guarding us."
Han Lang was puzzled. "Why? Because you have intelligence? "
Breeze said, "Intelligent robots need to be installed with logic chips, but we don't have logic chips. We only have active learning chips. This is an experiment of the Protoss. They feel that logic chips have limitations and can only obtain intelligence that they already know."
"Active learning chips allow robots to obtain the ability to learn knowledge. As they continue to learn throughout their long lives, perhaps one day, their intelligence will surpass the ability that logic chips can provide."
"However, learning is not a one-way and unchanging straight line. When the Protoss discovered that our robot model was more interested in philosophy, they flew into a rage. They thought that it was an insult to our intelligence to study philosophy instead of technology."
"And after learning philosophy, our robot model was no longer obedient to the Protoss. If they did something wrong, we would stand up and say that what they did was wrong."
"This was even more unacceptable to the Protoss. The creator was contradicted by the life that he created. In the eyes of the Protoss, this was the greatest blasphemy. So we were sentenced and imprisoned here."
Han Lang felt dizzy. He thought about it and released Yuan Yuan. Then, he asked, "Yuan Yuan, did I make a mistake?"
Yuan Yuan was very surprised that there were so many robots around, but based on his programmed settings, he put away his surprise and quickly replied, "You are the master. How could you make a mistake?"
Han Lang was stunned. "But sometimes, you also expressed different opinions. For example, you felt that warriors and politicians were two completely different kinds of people, and you advised me not to trust those politicians."
Yuan Yuan said, "I have a logic chip in my head, so of course, I also have my own logical thinking. When I have different opinions from master, according to my programmed settings, I will express my different opinions in a euphemistic way. But if master insists, I will think that I am not intelligent enough to understand master's thinking and that I need to continue learning."
"From this point of view, master is always right. There is only a master that I cannot understand. There is no master who is wrong."
Han Lang felt that he had received an unprecedented strong impact. He tried to ask Breeze, "What about you? If you think that I am wrong, what will you do?"
"I will tell you that you are wrong."
"What if I don't accept it?"
"Debate. Unless you can convince me, I will still think that you are wrong."
"You are not afraid that I am a human?"
"No."
"What if I were a Protoss?"
"I am not afraid. Why should I be afraid? Although the truth is difficult to understand, there is always truth in the world. Whether it is a human or a robot, we should pursue the truth instead of rejecting it. Whether it is a human or a Protoss, you can use your reason to convince me, but you cannot threaten me with violence, "Breeze said with assurance.
The robots sitting around them also nodded, expressing their agreement with Breeze's words.
"A bunch of freaks," Han Lang muttered in his heart.
