"I didn't expect that in these years you not only learned to exploit the people, but also learned to blame others."
Lecia felt completely comfortable after drinking Coke, and her anger was naturally not that strong.
"Madam, I am not trying to shirk the blame. It is indeed necessary to explain to you the facts about that war and the current social situation."
"You really should say it. It's not just me. You have lied to your daughter for so long, so you should say something realistic."
"Madam, do you still remember the organization 'Green Humans'?"
"Of course we remember that this is a gathering place for staunch anti-intellectualists who are causing trouble for us all day long."
"They were the ones who started that war."
"What's the reason?"
"Of course it is their consistent philosophy, to eliminate AI, increase jobs, and restore a purely human society."
"Isn't that just a regression of society, bringing the vast majority of people back to the days when they had to work so hard just to eat, just for this childish reason?"
"Yes, we all know that groups often make stupid decisions, and a group with the ability to execute will put stupidity into practice."
"That's really funny, but that organization was considered an illegal organization at the time. How could they have the ability to provoke war between countries?"
"Because those small countries have common interests with them, which are small countries that are on the verge of collapse under the impact of full automation but do not want to be annexed. That war is essentially a declaration of war by the old era against the new era, and their purpose is to provoke
People hate AI for robotics, and then they succeed.”
"Success is nothing. No one can control the development of the war. Those idiots have ruined the future of the entire civilization. Look at it now, is this the future they want? People are not only working harder than before,
And the definition of human is almost blurred by AI and robots!”
"That's why I don't trust human beings. Human beings are so stupid, selfish and narrow-minded. Even if they ruin other people's futures, they are unwilling to pay some price to make changes. Madam, if there hadn't been that damn war, if there hadn't been those groups of people filled with hatred,
You lost your mind, you idiot, we wouldn't have been forced to do those damn studies, and you wouldn't have died."
The rich man's tone was quite calm, but there was obvious anger on his face.
"Sigh~ After I calm down and think about it, it is indeed the case. We are all victims. However, it is also true that you made the wrong choice. If you resolutely refuse to follow..."
"If I refuse to obey, then we will all be killed by those guys. I don't want you to die. I am willing to do anything for you, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect that I would have such a bad temper. I would commit suicide immediately if I disagreed."
"You shouldn't have done that."
"No way, I just have this temper. I would rather die than do something I think is inhumane. I thought you would be like me, but who knew you actually compromised. You know how sad I was when I died.
Are you desperate? The most painful thing in life, being betrayed by your loved one must definitely rank in the top three."
"I'm not betraying you, I just want you to live!"
"I know, I know now, it's just that my mind couldn't turn around at the time. But even if I face the same choice now, I will still commit suicide... No, I will kill you first and then commit suicide, so that you will not fall.
Already."
"You are still as overly considerate of others as before, even if you died because of those people."
"Of course I won't change anything. After all, I have been dead for more than a hundred years. Suicide is like yesterday to me... But with the help of Miss Sai, I am much more rational now.
.I can understand your thoughts, but I cannot forgive your choice."
"I know that I never expected you to understand me when I made my choice. I just wanted you to live."
"It's a pity that you failed. I'm curious how you were after that?"
"Of course I was extremely sad, and I wanted to follow you at that time. But my reason told me that I couldn't. Your wish for a daughter has not been realized yet. I must spend the rest of my life to fulfill your wish. This child is the only thing that has supported me till now.
Reason, if it weren’t for her, I would have committed suicide a hundred years ago.”
"You... child, do you understand now? You are the only one your father cares about in this world. There is no need to doubt his feelings for you."
Lecia said to Raeder with a bitter-sweet smile.
"Oh...I already know..."
The girl nodded obediently, her expression was very complicated, but she seemed a little happy.
"Then how did you raise your child like this? And how did you become like this yourself?"
Lecia put away her smile and replaced it with worry and dissatisfaction.
"Madam, in order to realize your wish, I have no choice. Two years after you committed suicide, the war entered the ultimate stage of throwing nuclear bombs at each other. In that environment, it was difficult for me to protect myself, let alone let anyone
When this child is born, I cannot accept her being born in that environment. I must first create a world that is safe and clean enough for her."
"I'm curious how you got to where you are now, and how did the current social structure come into being?"
"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words..."
"Then just jump and talk and pick out the key points!"
"Oh~ Okay. You should remember that in the early days of the war, we had already transferred many industries to underground bunkers for preservation."
"Of course, our factory is so important, and the state took the initiative to provide assistance in completing the transfer. I was surprised to know that they dug so many cellars secretly."
"The shadow of war has always been there. It's just that we are too optimistic about the human group and have not seen these hidden dangers. However, those high-level officials have always been on guard. After the nuclear war broke out, they lost almost everything they could drive.
Their power has become empty, and entrepreneurs who have mastered core technologies and resources have naturally become the most powerful people at that time. Of course, we will no longer foolishly serve as tools for them and set up our own businesses to make a living.
They were trapped in the bunker."
“So you’re going to seize this opportunity to grow?”
"Development and growth are out of the question. After all, human civilization was seemingly destroyed by nuclear war at that time. Even if many industries were preserved, it would be very difficult to rebuild civilization. Those decades were really hard, so I had to transform myself
Also put it into the machine, and then seal up your emotions to avoid being overwhelmed and collapse. I must fulfill your wish, and our child must be born."
"...That's really hard on you."
Lecia said softly, her tone gentle and loving.
"It's necessary. I made a wrong choice, so I have to spend my whole life to atone for it."
"and after?"
"It took fifty years of waiting for the nuclear contamination to subside, searching for a suitable location, searching for survivors, twenty years of moving industrial supplies, and ten years of building a city. When my first city was built in the wilderness
When I got up, I originally wanted to name it after you. But when I thought about it, you are so elegant and beautiful. This ugly city built in this ugly world is not worthy of having your name at all. It has become no longer
Even I am not worthy of mentioning your name."
"You are so selfish...you didn't even ask for my opinion."
"Madam, you were already dead at that time, and I hadn't yet developed the technology to extract consciousness from the brain."
"You guys really don't know how to be romantic at all. I'm just complaining casually!"
"oh……"
"Go on, how did you create such a dystopian society after the apocalypse?"
"Madam, I think you have misunderstood. For this era, the city is a utopia, the only pure land for people to survive. It is definitely not a dystopia."
