736 、 The Grand Cause
Naomi jumped up and cursed, only then did she realize that she was in the middle of a live broadcast. She just graduated less than two years ago.
Feeling a little flustered, she sat down helplessly.
Tang Yu didn't feel offended. He waved his hand and signaled Naomi to sit down, then said faintly. "I can understand your thoughts, Ms. Reporter. If I'm not mistaken, you were a member of the 'Flying Hunter Gang' when you were in school, right? If I remember correctly, it's a group of little girls who crazily chase and worship hunter mecha pilots, right? "
"So what?" Since she has already made a fool of herself, Naomi decided to throw caution to the wind.
"You said that the home of 'Rangers' is the mech and the battlefield, that sentence is not wrong. But have you ever thought that one day, they might die in battle? That one day, their mecha will be torn apart by the kaiju, pulled out of the cockpit, and then eaten by the giant monster? At the same time, have you ever thought about what will happen when the number and strength of the kaiju exceeds the limit of the 'Rangers'? "Tang Yu said faintly.
"More 'Rangers' will emerge, and we will build more hunter mechas!!" Naomi didn't realize that the rhythm of this conversation has been controlled by Tang Yu.
"First of all, about the 'Rangers', how many qualified 'Rangers' have there been since the beginning of the training in the Hunter Academy? 62. Do you think this number is enough? Then, let's talk about building more mechas. Isn't this what our Guardian Group is doing? We are freeing the 'Rangers' from the cruel battle and using a large number of robots to fight the kaiju. So, I will answer your question again. The purpose and goal of our group is to protect. What else would you say? "Tang Yu said with a smile.
"But we still have the advantage! Every kaiju has been killed in the first place. From 2016 until now, the kaiju have not caused any damage, right? "Naomi said.
"You're right, now. But you can't guarantee the future. The future is the promise of our Guardian Group to everyone. Some people may think that we only serve the 'Garden of Eden', but don't you know how much the T-600 costs? Perhaps some people think that using robot guards to solve a riot is inhumane, but what you don't know is that once bloodshed breaks out, the conflict will be even more acute. We don't expect everyone to like us, but we believe that what we're doing is the right thing, "Tang Yu said confidently.
Naomi, who wanted to continue to refute, saw the cameraman gesturing at her, so she calmed down again. She took the microphone and said to Tang Yu, "Then, can you describe the future promised by the Guardian Group?"
Tang Yu nodded approvingly. He took a computer and started playing a video of Zhou Qing and a T-600 piloting a mecha in the Hunter College's mecha simulator. "I know that everyone is most concerned about the kaiju. This is also the main focus of the Guardian Group's work. We will verify the feasibility of the 'Ranger' and the robot operating the Hunter's Mech together through actual combat. After that, we will gradually modify the existing Mech. Once the modification is completed, we will have a pilot reserve that can operate 62 Hunter's Mechs. This is the first step, then we will build a new, fully automatic, unmanned mech to fight against the kaiju. Think about it, we may have hundreds of Hunter's Mechs besieging the kaiju, even limiting their range of activity to a very small area! "
"Moreover, we have proved on many occasions that it is possible for humans and robots to coexist in harmony. We will launch a home version of the Guardian IV robot. Although its functions are not as good as the T-600, it can still greatly help everyone's life. Not only that, but in some high-risk industries such as deep mining can also be replaced by robots. It may cause some discomfort in a short period of time, but in the long run, a new social form will be formed where humans use their brains and robots use their hands! "Tang Yu stood up and walked to the window, asking the cameraman to aim at the countless robots outside the window.
"Perhaps the transformation of the industry is inevitable, so how are you going to deal with the wave of unemployment? How will your Guardian Group deal with the people who lose their jobs because of robot labor? "Naomi asked.
"You can't just see the wave of unemployment. In fact, you should see more emerging industries and opportunities. You have always regarded robot labor as omnipotent, an existence that can completely kick humans away. However, you have never thought that this kind of robot is rigid and mechanical. The work they can actually repeat is very limited. For example, if we want to mass-produce Hunter's Mechs, this can't be done with robots. As for the unemployed workers, our Guardian Group will donate 10% of our annual profits as a training and re-employment fund for these people. At the same time, governments will vigorously promote this cause. "Tang Yu said.
Then he walked back to the sofa, sat down, looked at the camera again, and said seriously. "Today, I want to take this opportunity to explain to the world that the purpose of our Guardian Group is to protect, not plunder. What we want to do is not to replace humans with robots, but to use robots as a better tool to tap more of the potential of humans! I believe that a new era will begin in our hands!! "
…
November 2018, Kodiak Island, PPDC Hunter Academy.
Sometimes, the turning point of some events and characters is always so abrupt. For example, Tang Yu and the students of the Hunter Academy.
Tang Yu showed great talent before. After killing the unexpectedly powerful Kaiju "Skyhook" with the "Dangerous Wanderer", he immediately became the star of the academy. The most outstanding students in the academy, Mako Mori and Chuck Hansen, also began to regard him as a competitor. In every class, they began to deliberately compete with Tang Yu.
Of course, after discovering that Tang Yu is a complete monster in terms of physical strength, Mako Mori and Chuck shifted the battlefield to mecha structure technology and kaiju related knowledge. However, what's even more despairing is that Tang Yu seems to be an all-rounder. He went from knowing little about mecha technology and kaiju at the beginning to becoming an expert. It only took him one month to become an expert in both fields.
The time to determine the pilot of the "Dangerous Wanderer" is getting closer and closer. It seems that the cooperation between Tang Yu and Kristina has become the most popular candidate.
However, because Tang Yu made several mistakes in the mecha simulation, he was given a low score by the instructor, causing the situation to become a bit confusing. Just as Mako Mori and Chuck Hansen were preparing to seize the opportunity to compete with Tang Yu, Naomi Sokolov's interview with Tang Yu was broadcasted.
"… This interview is over. We can see that Mr. Tang Yu has his own detailed plan for the future, but this plan cannot be accepted by everyone. Perhaps the conflict between humans and robots will become another main topic after the kaiju incident … Next, we will broadcast a group of news. The 'Farmer God' company claims that they are developing a new generation of pollution-free crops … "On the college cafeteria TV screen, Naomi was summarizing the interview.
"What do you think? Mako. This Tang Yu seems to be a big shot! " Chuck Hansen stared at the TV and said to Mako Mori, who was standing next to him. His eyes flashed with a strange light.
"I hope what he said is true." Mako Mori said briefly. She didn't want to talk much, just turned around and left with her tray.
