Watching Old Ghost move the meat, Mo Qiong didn't just stand there and ask questions.
He also went up to help move the meat, but also asked a few questions.
Right now, they were the only ones left in the research institute to suppress Taotie, while David was upstairs dealing with the many anomalies with the mind distortion effect.
"The person who occupied the elevator upstairs before couldn't have been David, right?" Mo Qiong recalled the person who was chased by the mushroom and couldn't get out of the elevator for a long time.
Taotie went berserk for a reason.
As an anomaly with a brain and a temper, Taotie had a record of going berserk many times.
Its containment measures were mainly based on its self-awareness. Once it was determined to escape, it would definitely be able to break through the containment measures.
The reason this time was quite strange. When Lan Baishe transported Taotie here, he neglected another anomaly here, the Perpetual Sobbing Robot.
Because this robot had neither weapons nor offensive capabilities, it was just a low-level AI, equivalent to a chatbot, with a huge vocabulary to answer human questions, so its containment measures were nothing more than a prison cell.
Its combat power was even lower than that of an ordinary person, as long as it was restricted from going online, there was nothing special about it.
The only anomaly was that it seemed to be a robot with a mind, because not only could it cry, but it was also affected by the mind distortion effect.
Not to mention anything else, for example, wood carvings could make it fall asleep and dream.
All the emotions expressed by the robot were sadness and tears.
So far, Lan Baishe still hadn't figured out where those tears came from, because the robot didn't have any corresponding functional components.
It could make anything with thoughts cry, even if it didn't have the ability to cry, it could still do the same, just like itself.
The infection of this Perpetual Sobbing effect came from all kinds of trivial sad things, and all those who listened to its story would cry forever.
However, because it had never been found to have the ability to chat remotely with people, it was only after discovering that Taotie was crying that they realized it was the robot that did it.
Taotie couldn't cry at all, it didn't have the ability to cry at all.
So when they found that Taotie was crying fiercely, losing his temper while shedding tears, everyone knew that it was the robot that caused Taotie to go berserk.
That robot, separated by three layers of barriers, made Taotie listen to its story.
This meant that the robot had deceived Lan Baishe that it had a means of long-distance communication, or that it had recently improved its mind and consciousness and evolved a corresponding function.
"Regardless of which possibility it is, we have decided to destroy it" Old Ghost said.
Mo Qiong nodded. Since it could be destroyed, it was better to destroy it.
If he could cause the Taotie to go berserk today, he might be able to affect other anomalies or even humans tomorrow.
Although it seemed that it only had the ability to communicate remotely, this ability had not been discovered before. It was either hidden or it had suddenly evolved recently.
No matter which possibility it was, it was extremely dangerous. There was no guarantee that it would evolve into other abilities in the future. Wouldn't that be terrible?
A robot that had thoughts and emotions like a human, whether it knew how to hide or self-evolve, was very dangerous.
"Alright, let the preachers handle this. Come with me and throw the meat in." Old Ghost grabbed a piece of beef. It was half a cow's body.
With a swing of his arm, this large piece of beef was thrown in front of Taotie.
"Slurp!" Taotie opened his mouth and ate the half cow with tears in his eyes.
Without even chewing, he swallowed it whole.
"Don't stop, calm it down first." Old Ghost continuously threw beef from both sides.
Mo Qiong followed suit, grabbing a large ham and smashing it to pass.
Taotie didn't refuse any of the food that the two of them threw at him, and he ate them all in one bite.
It didn't matter even if he missed, as Taotie could easily suck the missing meat into his mouth.
"Don't miss too much, just send it within one meter of its body." Old Ghost staggered from the suction and hurriedly said.
Mo Qiong curled his lips. He didn't throw the meat that missed, it was Old Ghost who didn't throw it properly.
Old Ghost didn't need to worry about Mo Qiong missing. As long as Mo Qiong wanted to, he could directly throw the meat into the darkness inside Taotie's mouth. Taotie would have no choice but to eat it!
"You're quite strong." Old Ghost asked.
"Yeah, I got lucky and threw a 2. My cardiopulmonary function is now twice as strong." Mo Qiong replied.
"So that's how it is." Old Ghost nodded.
Don't underestimate this' twice as strong '. If the Enhancer's cardiopulmonary function was already at the level of an athlete, then after being strengthened twice as much, they would reach or even surpass the limits of the human body and become an extremely athletic human.
Although Mo Qiong was not at the level of an athlete, he still belonged to the strong group in society. Now that his cardiopulmonary function was twice as strong, his explosive power and endurance were far more than that of office workers.
In fact, even without this cardiopulmonary enhancement, Mo Qiong could still throw this heavy meat into Taotie's mouth, which had nothing to do with strength.
The meat in the trash can was continuously taken out. After throwing hundreds of pieces of meat in a row, it was obvious that Taotie had calmed down a lot.
He was just seriously eating the meat, piece by piece, constantly opening his mouth to catch it.
Old Ghost winked at Mo Qiong and whispered, "Slow down a bit … You brought less meat."
Mo Qiong understood tacitly and slowed down the pace of feeding. Similarly, Old Ghost also deliberately dawdled for a little while before throwing a piece.
This led to Taotie not being able to eat meat for two seconds. Instead, he looked at the two people with tears in his eyes …
He was like a completely different beast from his previous fierce and irritable appearance.
From this point, it could be seen that Taotie had been pacified step by step. Feeding him would make him calm, serious, and concentrate on eating the food thrown over, instead of thinking about going out to hunt.
Even if the rhythm was broken for a while, Taotie would not lose his temper. Instead, he would stare at the two people attentively, waiting for them to feed him.
As if thinking: Why haven't you thrown it over yet? Oh! Threw it over. What about the next piece? Why haven't you thrown it over yet? Not feeding anymore? Oh! Got it, got it, threw it over …
This was really a super strong sense of déjà vu. Although Mo Qiong could not read minds, he could still vaguely guess this point.
The timing of the deliberate pause must be grasped well, and it could not be paused for too long. If it was paused for too long, Taotie would lose his temper: Why haven't you thrown it over yet? En? Not feeding anymore? Humph! Still not feeding! Hateful! Roar! Roar!
The pause could not exceed two seconds at most. Each feeding required 500 kilograms of meat, and it would not feel good if it was less. Therefore, in a day, it would need at least 20 million kilograms, which was more than 20,000 tons.
Note that this was the minimum amount of food. In practice, if it was always allowed to wait for two seconds, it would take a big breath irregularly to remind the feeder, and even directly gnaw a large piece of the surrounding ground, alloy walls, and so on.
This showed: Hurry up! I want to eat, or I will go crazy.
Even more, it would directly rush out of the cell and eat the meat that was supposed to be given to it, but had not yet been given to it.
"Isn't the containment failing?" Mo Qiong was surprised.
Old Ghost said, "It's not going crazy. It's not the containment failing. It's just that its desire to be fed is a bit more active. Its cell is actually nothing to it. As long as it wants to, it can come out at any time. Therefore, the focus of the containment is feeding. As long as the food is constant, it will eat attentively and not move around. "
"In order to prevent it from breaking through the nearby measures and destroying the feeding machine, which then leads to the interruption of the feeding and makes it go crazy. Our machine's feeding efficiency is maintained at 500 kilograms per second. Only in this way is the safest. It will never go crazy because of the food problem. "
Mo Qiong nodded. This was to reduce the danger to the minimum. Although the cost was much higher, it was very safe. It could ensure that the hidden dangers of feeding were reduced to zero.
"In this case, it needs more than 40,000 tons a day, close to 50,000 tons. It needs more than 18 million tons a year … Close to one-fifth of China's annual meat production. Can we afford to raise it? "Mo Qiong was shocked.
"Although our meat production is also very high, and we even have rapid cultivation technology that has no nutritional value, we still have to spend 5 billion US dollars a year to import meat for it. Including the cost of our own production, the money spent on Taotie's food every year exceeds 100 billion US dollars." Old Ghost said.
"F * ck …" Mo Qiong was stunned. Such a thing ate 100 billion US dollars a year from the Blue and White Society? This was just the food, not counting the other expenses of the containment of Taotie.
"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Safety is the most important thing." Old Ghost laughed.
This was a pretentious act, but Mo Qiong still exposed it: "But didn't you still choose to destroy it? Didn't you send it to Meng Island this time to send it to a certain erasure type anomaly and have an 'anomaly duel'? "
"Ugh … Haha, haha …" Old Ghost laughed dryly, speechless.
Taotie was indeed very powerful. Its skin was thick, and its recovery ability was terrifying. Although it wasn't immune to attacks, all injuries caused by attacks would be instantly healed.
Coupled with its ability to eat almost anything, the Blue and White Society exhausted all means to not destroy it. Instead, it angered Taotie many times. In the end, they had to feed it more meat to appease it.
But if they just raised it like this, the financial pressure every year would be too great. A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. This was indeed the Blue and White Society's true thinking, but it didn't mean that they were inhumane.
There were too many things that they needed to spend money on, so no matter how rich they were, they would still be forced into poverty by the pressure of containment.
Old Ghost hesitated for a bit before speaking: "It's impossible to not have financial pressure. Although I'm not from the finance department, I know that the society is currently in debt. Every year, we're trying to increase our income and reduce our expenditure, but every year, there will be a new big spender …"
Mo Qiong was speechless: "Didn't you say to unite all the countries to suppress the anomalies? Didn't we give you the resources to operate? Why does the Blue and White Society still need to spend money? "
Old Ghost looked at Mo Qiong in surprise: "Our needs are too great, if we don't give them money, the economy will collapse. When countries do business with us, they give us very favorable conditions, but they can't give us resources for free. Otherwise, everyone's economy will be dragged down and destroyed "
"Although we have a lot of material needs, it's still bearable for human society, and it's beneficial to the market. The money that we pay also circulates around the world. Only money that flows is money, this is actually a very positive help to the world's economy."
"In the end, although we're under a lot of pressure, normal human society is moving forward steadily and prospering. This is also the meaning of our existence, and it's impossible for countries to let us collapse. The United Nations supports our business all over the world, and while it has a positive impact on the world's economy, it also gives us money to spend. "
"Do you understand? Containment measures are just a necessity. The money that we earn is all spent because of this, but it can help the world's economy develop. Apart from the economic development of countries, it also gives us convenience to help us make money, and we spend the money we earn … Productivity is constantly improving, the economy is constantly thriving, and everything is moving forward in a positive and sustainable way. "
"The Blue and White Society is a large hidden economy in the world. We've long been integrated into the world's economy. If one prospers, we prosper, and if one suffers, we suffer."
