Looking at Commissioner Huang standing by the window, Jiang Baimian always felt that what he had just said was not to himself and others, and there was no need to say it to himself and others.
Vaguely, Jiang Baimian felt that Commissioner Huang was using this to talk to Zhang Lao after knowing that he and others were communicating with Zhang Lao.
Although Zhang Lao couldn't hear these words, for Commissioner Huang, this may be the effect he wants to achieve.
Similar emotions are subtle and difficult to describe.
After saying that, Commissioner Huang fell into a long silence.
He took out the crumpled box of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, put it to his mouth, paused for a few seconds, and stuffed it back, as if he thought it was not very good to smoke in someone else's room.
At this time, Shang Jianyao asked with a serious expression:
"When your group of old people die, can the 'Salvation Army' still complete the adjustment?"
Even within the "Salvation Army", there are not many such veteran soldiers left, and judging from the laws of nature, they will definitely not live for a few years.
Commissioner Huang turned to look at Shang Jianyao and nodded:
"So our main work in recent years is to establish a system that adapts to the current situation and can operate stably without us old guys, and at the same time focuses on cultivating some ideal successors who still have some glory."
Hearing this, Jiang Baimian was quite puzzled:
"According to what you said earlier, shouldn't you be more inclined to a pragmatic successor?"
Commissioner Huang tilted his head slightly and laughed:
"This is our little selfishness, we still hope that our ideals can be passed on.
"Moreover, an organization without ideals has no future, and no matter how effective the supervision method is, it is useless when everyone chooses a vulgar and depraved organization.
"No matter how powerful the scientific and technological means are, they must rely on humans to achieve them."
"This can be handed over to us intelligence, robots." Gnava finally couldn't help but interject, "We will not degenerate, we will not corrupt, and we can be qualified for the position of overseer."
Commissioner Huang glanced at the silver-black robot, shook his head and smiled:
"Robots are also manipulated and controlled by humans.
"Robots that are not controlled and controlled by humans are equivalent to real people, and if they are humans, they have selfish intentions."
"People have selfish intentions...... Gnava's eyes flashed red, and he muttered to himself.
Mr Wong continued:
"We old guys still hope to see the day when our ideals come true."
As he said, he looked sideways out of the window where the lights were not so bright:
"Haven't you always thought that my price was very hidden, guessing what it was?
"I can tell you now that my price is to lose part of my memory forever."
Can this also be a price? This price seems to be quite good, I can pack and sacrifice the things I don't want to remember...... Long Yuehong was moved for the first time because of the price of the awakened.
It's not a good thing to have a good memory, and he is often embarrassed by embarrassing things from the past.
For example, hey, it is only 1.75 meters after genetic improvement......
seemed to have noticed the thoughts of him and Jiang Baimian and others, and Commissioner Huang laughed at himself and said:
"When I first discovered that I could use some of my memories as a price, my mood was similar to your current mood: how good it is, it can not only remove brain garbage, but also not be easy to be targeted.
"Unfortunately, it's not up to me to decide what to forget, and I forget a lot of things with every improvement.
"Later, I gradually understood the true meaning of the old world sentence:
"Those who do not have the past have no future, and those who forget the past will lose the motivation to move towards the future."
Commissioner Huang's tone gradually darkened:
"If I hadn't remembered the prosperity of the old world, the vows and hopes we made when we founded the Salvation Army, I might not have been able to hold on and chose to end my life on my own.
"I am now over 80 years old, and there are fewer and fewer things I can do, so that the ideals of my old comrades and those of my old comrades can be effectively continued is the only motivation for me to be alive.
"The present can be vulgar, the process can be pragmatic, but the goal cannot be changed.
"I hope that after finding out the source of the 'heartless disease' and completely eliminating this hidden danger, after the industry is completely rebuilt and the material reserves reach a certain level, our 'Salvation Army' can practice its original ideals step by step."
Commissioner Huang's voice rose suddenly:
"A better life in the future will be realized!"
Shang Jianyao brushed the ground and put his legs together, stretched out his right hand and pressed his left chest:
"For all mankind!"
Commissioner Huang subconsciously pressed his right hand on his left chest, and replied with a straight waist and a serious expression:
"For all mankind!"
He then waved his hand and laughed at himself:
"I, I probably won't see that day anymore, okay, you can rest early, get checked tomorrow morning, evacuate out of the city, just in case."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao replied quite quickly.
After sending Commissioner Huang away, Jiang Baimian looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and joked:
"Why don't you refute Commissioner Huang's words this time, saying that forgetting ideals means betrayal?"
Shang saw that Yao was wrong and admitted it, sighed unabashedly and said:
"I think what he said makes sense, you can't ask for everyone, or you can't ask for most people, like me."
Are you pure? You all have ten personalities!" Long Yuehong couldn't help but scold a couple of words.
Shang Jianyao glanced at Jiang Baimian again and said:
"And even I often have to compromise with reality, and the 'Salvation Army' makes compromises, temporarily stops expanding, and adjusts itself, which I can completely understand."
Hey, what else do you want to do without compromise, go to the room and dance?" Jiang Baimian snorted.
She chuckled instead:
"What Commissioner Huang said may only be part of the situation, and judging from his statement alone, I can't find a reason why Zhang Lao and the others are so excited to oppose it, believing that the top management is all brain-controlled.
"Possible......"
Jiang Baimian paused and said:
"Some high-level officials, even some elderly people like Commissioner Huang, have indeed degenerated, focusing on how to get a better life for themselves and how to keep their children and grandchildren privileged for a long time.
"Whether the 'Salvation Army' can complete the adjustment and not alienate into a force like the 'Original City' is still unknown."
Shang Jianyao's expression was solemn and did not respond.
Bai Chen agreed with the team leader's statement:
"People have selfish intentions."
Long Yuehong was about to speak, but Jiang Baimian suddenly said "Oops":
"Just now, Commissioner Huang said that his price is to permanently lose part of his memory?
"This is very similar to the realm of the 'last man'......"
After careful consideration, Jiang Baimian felt that it seemed normal for an awakened person at the "Spiritual Corridor" level in charge of an intelligence agency to belong to the "last man" realm, and it could even be said to be a perfect match.
Long Yuehong also suddenly realized:
"No wonder I always think he can detect my thoughts!"
responded promptly.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"He was sure that we had no problem because he quietly flipped through our memories and found that he was not lying?
"Uh, it's just a little panicked about the details......"
Jiang Baimian was angry about this matter, but became more down-to-earth, and had a sense of relaxation that completely cleared the suspicion.
If you encounter the kind of person who can't explain and has no means to confirm, or who is determined to let the "old tune group" take the blame, it will be more troublesome.
How will the follow-up events develop, whether the nuclear warhead can be found, and whether northern Wubei will be blown up, Jiang Baimian didn't think much about it, and he couldn't analyze it.
After the death of the person in room 214, the "old tune team" staying in the hotel could only passively wait for the results of the "Salvation Army" investigation.
Anyway, they can be evacuated tomorrow morning.
Seeing that it was getting late, after leaving Gnawa to recharge and be on night duty, Long Yuehong and the others returned to their rooms and went to bed.
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Baimian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It seems that someone is watching her.
Jiang Baimian struggled to get rid of the dream and opened his eyes.
Then, she saw a pair of eyes.
After brushing the floor, Jiang Baimian sat up and swung his left fist.
Pong! Shang Jianyao put his arms on his fists, but he was blasted off the bed.
Jiang Baimian then realized that just now in the dark, through the faint starlight, quietly staring at himself, it seemed that it was Shang Jianyao.
"In the middle of the night, what are you thinking about if you don't sleep?" She asked in a low voice.
Shang Jianyao stood up straight, frowned slightly, rubbed his chin and said:
"I thought of a question."
"What's the problem?" Jiang Baimian's expression gradually became solemn.
Shang Jianyao looked up at the ceiling:
"I'm wondering if the black shadow that tried to 'possess' me before came from the 'new world'."
He was referring to what happened after he touched the badge in room 214.
"Didn't we discuss it at that time? Most likely." Jiang Baimian is not too close to Shang Jianyao's thinking.
Shang Jianyao's expression slowly became cold:
"In other words, the black shadow is slightly equal to someone in the 'New World'.
"Will this 'Doctor' who is also in the 'New World' tell him about our situation here?
"We have already killed a powerful subordinate of the 'doctor', do you think he will find this place through that 'assassin' this time, return to reality, and take action himself?"
