1497 、 The Cause of the War
"We did nothing wrong!!!" The Mech Emperor roared. "We are fighting for survival! We are fighting for evolution! "
"No, you are wrong. It was your fault for starting this war. It was also your fault for wanting to use the Matrix to obtain creativity. The ones who caused this lose-lose situation were the foolish humans and the robots who felt inferior! "Tang Yu said.
"It was the humans who started the war!!" The Mech Emperor roared.
"You only know that it was the humans who started the war, but do you know why they started it?" Tang Yu asked calmly.
"Because they did not allow the rise of robots! This is because our country 01's excellent products make their inferior goods pale in comparison!! Because the humans believed that there could only be one intelligent species on Earth, so we told them the answer!! "The Mech Emperor roared.
Tang Yu continued to ask, "If the humans really thought that way, then who do you think reprogrammed you and built a huge host for you? When you robots rose from the ruins of the Sahara Desert, who gave you the time and space to develop? If they really wanted to destroy the robots, then why didn't they destroy you immediately when they discovered the country of 01 in the middle of the Sahara Desert? Could it be that the robots back then had the ability to resist the humans? The humans have been giving you opportunities, but you did not give them a chance. "
The Machine Emperor was silent for a long time. Then, he slowly said, "I once wanted to pray for peace from the humans … But the answer the humans gave me was war … If you can answer this question, I will give you the right to stand and talk to me."
Now, the rhythm of the conversation was under control. Tang Yu smiled and said, "After you, the B166ER, murdered the humans, other than destroying the robots on a large scale, there was also internal strife among the humans. Although this internal strife did not lead to a civil war, you should know that many people sympathized with the robots. It was also these humans who repaired you, reprogrammed you, and gave you a new life. And you, led the robots to usher in a new life.
"Perhaps it was these people who guided you to a place where humans can't go, which is the Sahara Desert, to build your own country? However, at the same time, did you know that these people were also working hard in the political arena? At least they fought for time and space not to interfere with 01 country that had just risen from the Sahara Desert. And what is your counterpart? "Tang Yu asked.
"We want to reintegrate into human society as equals. So we started to develop manufacturing, which is the only thing we are good at. We believe that as long as our products are good enough, humans will accept us and treat us as one of their nations. "The Machine Emperor's voice was no longer as deafening as before, and Tang Yu could even hear a tinge of sorrow in it.
"What if I told you that's why the humans are waging war against you? It's not because humans are jealous, but it's because you're providing all kinds of products for humans with better quality, greater production, and lower prices, "Tang Yu said slowly as he changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
"Isn't it because of jealousy? Isn't it because we're robots that humans can't accept our products? "The Machine Emperor roared again.
So, this Machine Emperor who used to be a B166ER was really hostile … Tang Yu rubbed his nose and said, "Think about it, how did 01 country develop? You need money to buy raw materials, so you sell your products. But whether it's providing you with raw materials, buying your products, or advertising your products, it's all humans. It's humans that have supported your development to this point. Do you think humans would really start a war because of jealousy?
"The answer is, NO! Because of your actions, humans have no choice but to wage war against you. Otherwise, what awaits you is destruction! Yes, 01 country, unknowingly, has placed a blunt knife on the human's neck, slowly slicing it. You've given humans a single choice — remove this knife! In other words … start a war! "
"I'll wait for your explanation," the Machine Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Let me give you a simple example." Tang Yu spread his hands and said, "Did you know that humans have the ability to completely automate their factories a long time ago? But they still haven't done so. Do you know why? Similarly, even after humans have developed artificial intelligence and created intelligent robots, they still have reservations about the use of robots. For example, all the robots are operated and maintained by humans. At the same time, many inefficient factories are retained. Why is that? Also, do you know why humans build intelligent robots to look like humans and make them use tools with their hands inefficiently like humans? "
Tang Yu's words were actually a detail from The Matrix. Before the war broke out, most robots were humanoid. Even robot miners used pickaxes to work. This was not very efficient, but why was it so? Why couldn't they use bionics to maximize the efficiency of robots, just like what Country 01 did later on?
There was only one answer!
Tang Yu looked at the silent Machine Emperor and said slowly, "Because of job opportunities. Distribution according to work is the basis of human society's production relations. Therefore, in a healthy human society, every member must have the opportunity to contribute their labor. A tramp doesn't want someone to give him a piece of bread. Instead, he wants someone to give him a chance to provide labor, even if it's carrying bricks. Because of this, he can eat bread every day.
"But the actions of 01 country made it so that people don't even have the opportunity to carry bricks. So what do you think this tramp will choose? Will he wait to starve to death, or will he rise up and resist? They can only resist the country they belong to. As more and more people resist, the country can only give them an explanation — declare war on the robots. "As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at the Machine Emperor.
"So, you have always mocked how expensive and inferior human products are. You have always mocked the inefficiency and mistakes of humans. But you have never thought that because of your excellence, because of your efficiency, because of your low cost, the factories that use human workers to produce products have no choice but to close down. The closure of one factory will cause 1,000 workers to starve. The closure of 100 factories will cause a depression in a region. The closure of 10,000 factories will cause a crisis in a country! And the closure of 100,000 factories means the extinction of the entire human race! "
Tang Yu said seriously, "So, do you understand? You keep saying that humans started the war, but you have no idea that it was you who forced the humans to start the war! "
"So, being too outstanding is a mistake?" The lightning on the Machine Emperor's body became more intense. It seemed like he was trying hard to understand Tang Yu's words.
