Chapter V Diplomacy
The middle-aged woman knew in her heart that she might not do most of her work, what she needed to do was not to argue with her, not to argue with reason, not to be righteous, but to be a slave.
A slave who is destined to be insulted by countless compatriots behind him, betrayed the country, bully the same kind in unison with aliens, and bow down in front of aliens.
But someone will always have to do this kind of thing.
Taking a deep breath, she walked into Door No. 3, and then saw the young robot who looked sunny and handsome, with a soft smile on her face walking towards her and stretched out her hand from a distance.
"Hello, hello, I am the plenipotent representative of the Savior Civilization Resident Earth. You can call me the Emperor. We will work together in the future. I hope we can cooperate happily."
After taking a deep breath, suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, and squeezing a little smile on his face, making his face not look so stiff, the middle-aged woman also stretched out her hand.
"Hello, I am the plenipotentiary representative of human civilization and the chairman of the Risk Review Committee, Jiang Yulan."
Behind Jiang Yulan, many elites drawn from various departments and fields also came to this place where I don’t know how many years they would have to work. After Jiang Yulan briefly introduced several of them, the meeting ended immediately and the busy work began.
The Savior Civilization has submitted the requirements document, and it is time to review this document.
In fact, the analysis of the document has been carried out since the Emperor handed over the document to the head of state.
They were handed over to different departments and engineering experts in different categories to comprehensively analyze their construction costs and time, as well as the manpower required, and the impact on human society, etc. The committee also has a judgment and leadership body composed of corresponding experts to comprehensively promote this matter.
At this moment, the review conclusion has not been reached, but this does not mean that Jiang Yulan has nothing to do. In fact, there are many things that need her to do.
The most important thing is to conduct "diplomacy" mediation with the emperor and the savior civilization, and to strive for benefits for one's own side as much as possible.
Since the Savior Civilization, the young robotic man, the emperor, has just arrived on Earth, a behavior evaluation team composed of many top behaviorists, logicians, interstellar biologists, sociologists and other experts has been established. They have only one responsibility, that is, to analyze the emperor, or, in other words, to hide in the Savior Civilized Spaceship, remotely control the behavior logic, preferences, personality, etc. of the emperor, and to provide reference for Jiang Yulan's diplomatic mediation work.
Therefore, at the suggestion of the evaluation team, Jiang Yulan sent an invitation to the emperor for the first time on behalf of human civilization.
The evaluation team's suggestion is that for a civilization that can fly an interstellar spacecraft and travel across a distant space, the natural landscape may not be attractive. In the vast universe, there are many strange landscapes far beyond the earth. With the knowledge they should have, it is probably an unprecedented event like the collapse of Mount Everest, at most it is novel.
Compared with natural landscapes, humanistic things are more likely to be attractive. After all, no matter how many civilizations there are in the universe, this thing is unique to humans and is unlikely to be seen elsewhere.
Humanities and culture are sometimes out of touch with the level of technological progress. Just like humans under modern high-tech society, they are also shocked by the heroic deeds of ancient times.
The event Jiang Yulan invited the emperor to participate in this time was a cultural exhibition. Its location is located in the World Museum, and its main content is the many deeds of human civilization developing from ancient times, struggling with heroes, constantly fighting against the nature of the world, barbarism and backwardness.
This can probably be regarded as another temptation to the savior civilization and the emperor.
Things were going very smoothly. I was a little nervous, but I didn't expect that the emperor would agree to Jiang Yulan's invitation very happily.
This has inspired many people.
In any case, this always shows that the Emperor and even the Savior civilization are interested in further understanding of human civilization. Understanding means communication, and communication means that many things can be solved through diplomatic mediation.
The World Museum has set up the highest level of reception standards for this visit. The museum is completely blocked and no irrelevant personnel are refused visits. At the same time, the tour guide with the most outstanding business capabilities is sent to give explanations to the group.
Of course, the museum actually doesn’t know the true identity of the visitors in this industry.
Jiang Yulan personally accompanied her and the group walked into the museum.
From the skulls of ancient humans, to the bone tools, stone tools, bronze tools used, to oil paintings, tribes, pottery, seeds, etc., things related to the early development of human civilization were presented one by one to one before the group.
During the visit, the emperor's expression remained unchanged and he did not say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was not until he saw a set of iron armor used by ancient combat heroes that the emperor opened his mouth for the first time.
"Human history is the history of war. What human beings are best at is killing. When the rest of the species lose their threat, human beings will raise their butcher knife and face the same tribe."
A needle fell in the museum hall in an instant and could be heard. The tour guide was a little dissatisfied, but he looked at the group of people who were accompanying him who did not know their identities, but obviously had a big background, and subconsciously closed his mouth.
The risk review committee and his group looked at each other. Jiang Yulan's heart immediately sank.
She knew that it was hard to say that this cultural exhibition would have a negative effect.
In such a serious occasion, the emperor's words can almost be regarded as a serious political event. If the Savior civilization is really determined in the depths of his heart, then the future "cooperation" will probably cause many troubles. I don't know how many people will die indirectly because of this, and I don't know how many precious resources and wealth will be wasted.
At this moment, Jiang Yulan's brain was surprisingly calm. She only thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"If your race has evolved, you shouldn't be surprised by it. Just like your race, isn't it doing this at the moment?"
The members of the attendants' hearts sink again. Although the young tour guide couldn't understand these words, he instinctively felt that the atmosphere in the exhibition hall at this moment made him feel a little trembling from the bottom of his heart.
But these heaviness did not last long. Faced with Jiang Yulan's questioning, the emperor just smiled faintly and did not open up the topic.
A storm disappeared quietly.
The exhibition continued. After seeing a white jade chessboard passed down nearly a thousand years ago, the emperor finally showed unprecedented interest.
"I probably know that this is a very complicated game prop, right?"
Several people looked at each other, but Jiang Yulan answered.
"Yes, this is a Go board. Its rules are very simple..."
"Will you go?"
Jiang Yulan was stunned: "I know a little."
"Come on?"
Jiang Yulan smiled and shook her head: "Even we humans have already created an AI that swept all the experts."
"AI is just some algorithms that can only execute rigidly. Even if they win, they don't know what they are doing. It's boring. I never play such games with AI."
Jiang Yulan realized in her heart.
This is the alien who controls the emperor behind the scenes, hoping to play this kind of game with humans with its own wisdom.
In any case, a member of the Savior Civilization finally revealed his interest. This is a major discovery for the intelligence analysis team.
"Okay, come on?"
“Just use it.”
The emperor pointed to the white jade chessboard placed in the glass cabin filled with inert gas. Jiang Yulan hesitated slightly, lowered her head and said something. After a moment, the museum staff rushed over, opened the glass cabin, and took it out through the chessboard.
The two types of chess pieces were also quickly in place.
Jiang Yulan only learned a little Go in her spare time, and her skills were really hard to say. But at the beginning, she immediately realized that the young robot man in front of her who was controlled by aliens had a worse skill than herself.
In just over a dozen minutes, she kept the armor of the emperor killed.
But in the next game, Jiang Yulan's advantage shrank a lot. In the third game, both sides were evenly matched. In the fourth game, Jiang Yulan had no choice but to abandon her son and surrender.
"I like the extremely complex game behind this simplicity. Who else can you do?"
Jiang Yulan put away the chess pieces and smiled and said, "If you like it, there are top experts from our world chess academy, should we play a game?"
"With my current skills, let's just forget it."
The emperor shook his head.
The visit finally ended, and the group returned to Wenhua Palace again. The risk review committee was originally busy with work, and since then it has even more jobs. That is, playing chess with the emperor.
It devoted almost all its energy to this game, and at the same time, its power was also rapidly improving visible to the naked eye.
If it really does not use AI, but relies solely on its own thinking organ, it seems that the "people" of the savior civilization have extremely high learning ability and thinking speed.
Their brains—if there is a brain, they must be much more efficient than the human brain.
This seems to indirectly verify the insurmountability of the technology of the Savior civilization.
Just a few days later, it made a request to Jiang Yulan, hoping to play this kind of game with the current number one human expert in Go in the world.
Jiang Yulan keenly realized that a major opportunity appeared in front of her.
The human master invited was a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses, like an old pedantic. He looked sad and always looked worried.
The game began immediately. Even if Jiang Yulan had a low chess skills, it was obvious that the two people were hard to solve and seemed to be indistinguishable from each other.
After a few games, both sides won and lost, and one side won and the more they lost, the more they lost. The emperor's chess power did not appear as obvious as before. It seemed that its brain power had reached its limit.
In the fifth game, near the end of the game, the thin middle-aged man suddenly played a bad chess that could be vaguely felt by Jiang Yulan's chess. With such a huge flaw, the emperor defeated the thin middle-aged man in three or five attempts.
The thin middle-aged man sighed and looked depressed.
While gathering the chess pieces, the emperor smiled and said, "You made a low-level mistake that you shouldn't have. Otherwise, I will still lose this game."
The thin middle-aged man sighed: "I am uneasy and I am not suitable for playing chess."
"oh?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to play chess anymore in the future. Our chess academy will also be disbanded and I will work on different construction sites."
The emperor nodded slightly, his smile remained unchanged.
Jiang Yulan's expression remained unchanged, and she was not surprised at all.
Because this matter was dominated by her.
The thin middle-aged man hurriedly left. From beginning to end, he didn't know that it was not humans who fought with him.
The emperor thought, and after a moment, it said: "The projects you participated in in the World Chess Academy will be temporarily postponed. It is a waste to let such talents go to the construction site."
Jiang Yulan finally had a smile on her face.
