Chapter 378, Metaphysics

When Ren Xiaosu, who had originally regarded Zong as an enemy, heard a vehicle approaching, his first thought was that Zong had sent someone to sneak attack Wang Shengzhi and their convoy, probably with the aim of preventing the 178 Barriers from being closely connected to the Central Plains.

Only to see the members in Wang Shengzhi’s convoy one by one take out their weapons from the trunk, while Zhou Yinglong stood up with his bare hands.

Ren Xiaosu glanced at Zhou Yinglong, at this moment, he was certain that this northwestern hulk must be a Transcendent, or else Zhang Jinglin wouldn’t have sent him alone, or else this Zhou Yinglong wouldn’t have even taken a weapon in the face of a possible incoming enemy attack.

However, when the Zong’s caravan approached, it was a surprise, the first thing the people in the car did when they got out of the car was to make it clear that they were unarmed, and the person at the head of the car was unfamiliar, a young man.

But see the back of a few cars, unexpectedly jumped down a few people wearing chef clothes to come, hands also holding pots and pans, there are even people with portable gas stove.

This youth smiled and said, “Good evening everyone, I am Zong Xiang of the Zong Clan Consortium, I previously heard that all of you guests wanted to taste the cuisine of my Zong Clan’s region, but because of the travel issues I was unable to go to our barriers, so I brought my chefs here to give you all a taste of the authentic plucked taro, the Hundred Flower Whole Chicken, and the Roasted Whole Lamb.”

Ren Xiaosu was sitting in the car when he heard this was a cold laugh, this Zong clearly couldn’t wait for all the people here to die before they were good, but he was pretending to be very hospitable.

Previously, Zong Cheng in the figure before the dagger, is also a brotherhood of hospitality, but finally?

Until today, Ren Xiaosu couldn’t even figure out why Zong Chen was going after them.

This was exactly where Ren Xiaosu was most angry.

Looking at this youth called Zong Xiang, Ren Xiaosu knew very well that the other party should have a great relationship with Zong Chen, and he was considering whether or not to kill this Zong Xiang on the spot?

However, after killing Zong Xiang? It still wasn’t enough to relieve his anger.

Ren Xiaosu had to make the entire Zong Clan broken, and a single Zong Xiang simply couldn’t fill his hatred.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu even wanted to deliberately create conflicts between Wang Shengzhi, Zhou Yinglong and the Zong Clan, such as killing the Zong Xiang disguised as Wang Shengzhi and others, but if so, I’m afraid that Wang Shengzhi and others will not be able to return to the Central Plains safely, right?

These people saved their own lives, they can’t do that.

Ren Xiaosu slowly breathed in to calm himself, he was going to use the power of Wang Shengzhi and 178 barriers to find the best opportunity.

As the saying goes, reach out and don’t fight, even Zhou Yinglong sat on the sidelines and didn’t say anything at this point.

When the food was processed, the aroma filled the entire camp, Zong Xiang let the cook cut a piece of lamb for him, he reached out and then grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, “Let me help you all taste it …… Well, it’s cooked, and the lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, so please take your time to savor it, and I’ll leave you all alone, and I hope that you all will have in the Northwest Have a pleasant journey.”

After saying that, Zong Xiang surprisingly this led people to leave without dragging their feet.

The action of tasting just now was more like helping Wang Shengzhi and the others to test the poison to avoid Zhou Yinglong and the others’ suspicion.

When Zong Xiang left, Zhou Yinglong pooh-poohed a mouthful of spittle on the ground, “What good can come from a hyena’s solicitude?”

Wang Shengzhi laughed, “Why do you hate Zong so much?”

“When Commander Zhang left before, this Zong Clan liked to move towards the 178th Barrier, and secretly sent their people to the 178th Barrier, which ended up causing the news of the 178th Barrier to leak out in advance all the time,” Zhou Yinglong said with a sullen face, “This group of hyenas were fighting for power and profit in the 178th Barrier, causing the We only found out later that the Chief of Staff was actually one of Zong’s illegitimate children. Commander Zhang was quite upset when he found out about this, and since then 178 Barrier hasn’t admitted many outsiders, mainly to prevent those with ulterior motives from infiltrating.”

“How did you guys know that he was a bastard son of the Zong Clan?” Wang Shengyin was curious.

Zhou Yinglong sneered, “Of course it was known after the torture to force a confession.”

Ren Xiaosu said in his heart that this was not a latent spy, and he did not know how long this Zong’s bastard had been lurking, but he had even risen to the rank of Chief of Staff.

Wang Shengzhi nodded, no wonder the people of 178 Barriers loathed Zong so much, he laughed, “We’ve worried about things like this before.”

Zhou Yinglong froze for a moment, “You’re not worried now?”

“Well, it’s solved,” Wang Shengzhi said.

“This can also be solved?” Zhou Yinglong frowned, “People with ulterior motives simply can’t be defended against when they enter the barriers.”

“We have artificial intelligence,” Wang Sheng Yin explained with a smile, “Artificial intelligence can analyze the details through the camera and determine if a person is in doubt.”

Now it was Ren Xiaosu’s turn to be baffled again, what was artificial intelligence again.

It wasn’t just Ren Xiaosu who was confused, there was also Zhou Yinglong, “What the hell?!”

But he heard Wang Shengyin explain, “Artificial Intelligence is one of our elders’ research directions before the Calamity, and we were fortunate enough to have preserved all the information. In short, it’s to give computer programs the ability to think and analyze independently, like normal humans. However, our AI isn’t really generating self awareness anymore, today the philosophical aspect of AI is still ……”

Zhou Yinglong interrupted, “Don’t tell me this, I don’t understand, you are metaphysics right ……”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly identified with Zhou Yinglong, and all that he couldn’t understand was treated as feudal superstition.

Machines and programs he knew what they were, but making machines and programs think like humans? Is it possible? Ren Xiaosu didn’t believe it, a machine was a machine.

Because of that catastrophe, it led to a deviation in the direction of mankind’s scientific advancement: to continue researching whatever is left behind has become the mainstream scientific research direction of the consortium today.

This allows them to instantly lead other consortia in a certain field.

Wang Shengzhi said, “You 178 Barriers can also introduce our artificial intelligence program to screen for spies.”

Zhou Yinglong wasn’t stupid, he hemmed and hawed, then said bluntly, “Although I don’t understand this thing, maybe it’s reliable to screen for spies, but I, 178 Barrier, will never allow this kind of thing to spy on us, what if you guys can manipulate it remotely, we don’t have this level of technology to fight against you.”

Wang Shengzhi was unimpressed, “It’s fine, I’m just making a suggestion.”

Zhou Yinglong’s side searched, “You guys, even the machines have intelligence here, don’t the barriers are floating in the sky or something?”

Wang Sheng Yin was happy: “The one you are talking about is pseudo-science, what kind of power can support an entire barrier to float in the air ah, humans can’t do it at all. Our barriers aren’t much different from yours, it’s just a bit more prosperous, more tall buildings, better living conditions, and the outside of the barriers are just as many factories and grain fields. The nanobots that Yang and Li researched, we don’t have them over there.”

From start to finish Ren Xiaosu didn’t say a word, because the stragglers weren’t supposed to understand this, and the others didn’t care if he could understand it or not.
