Chapter 1019: Chapter 627: Free Will_1 Chapter 1019: Chapter 627: Free Will_1 A year later, Dylan Mitchell finally mastered body language and successfully infiltrated the Free Will Alliance.
This underground organization, operating secretly, now had its own na that sounded quite impressive.
Free will, under such extre circumstances, advocated for the power of personal choice.
It sounded quite noble and unassailable, as everyone has the right to choose their own life.
However, if the free will of so people needs to be built upon the premise of harming the collective interests and common will of many others, and shaking the foundation of racial existence, this so-called free will becos rootless and shallow.
Selfish people always say that they have already contributed far more to society than they have received in return.
But those who say such things have already removed themselves from the societal system in their thinking, focusing only on individual traits and ignoring the social nature of being human.
People easily fall into the misconception that their food does not co from the society and the group, but from the wages obtained for their work or the contribution points exchanged, thinking that this is a narrow trade asured by money instead of a broader aspect of social life.
Actually, they are wrong.
As far back as ancient tis, humans began to learn about tribal life, mutual support in group living, and risking their lives to save each other from fierce beasts. They have understood one thing deeply under the education of nature itself.
No one can live a aningful life by fighting alone.
In modern technological society, this phenonon is especially evident. Any single personal item, from the most primitive materials to the finished product, must go through at least several or even dozens of steps of transfer and deep processing before it can beco an ordinary consur’s usable car, computer, mobile phone, and other items.
Work can indeed be exchanged for compensation, but compensation itself also needs to be converted into food, learning tools, alcohol, tobacco, tea, entertainnt tools, customized combat equipnt packages, and other personal items through the operation of the economic system.
A person cannot produce food, promote science, manufacture production tools, and develop civilization all by themselves.
This is because of the fragility and short lifespan of humans.
The basic attributes of humans include their social nature.
Besides material civilization, society’s value to people in the spiritual aspect cannot be ignored, as isolation deprives them of the nourishnt of their social nature.
An isolated person is equivalent to a walking corpse. To live a aningful life, one must never neglect society.
An individual should never overlook the fact that even the living materials obtained for the compensation of their work still contain the dedication of others’ labor.
The essence of a person always relies on the existence of a collective.
Extre individualism, at its core, is selfishness that only recognizes one’s own labor and denies the help of society and the collective to oneself as an individual.
This truth is simple, and those born on planets and group living space stations know it instinctively.
However, so of the second and third generations born in the Naless Fleet have forgotten this, voluntarily or involuntarily indulging themselves and pursuing seemingly noble yet actually despicable pursuits.
Dylan Mitchell’s thod of gaining trust from others was neither complicated nor profound.
He didn’t demand a high position at first, rely making contact with a cryogenic chamber administrator after the hibernation period.
This person was a mber of the third generation and a marginal mber of the Free Will movent.
When the administrator first discovered that Dylan was pretending to be dormant, he was shocked and nearly imdiately reported it in strict accordance with the fleet’s managent regulations.
But Dylan successfully persuaded him, shared his struggles, and proposed to learn body language and integrate into the underground organization.
Dylan’s military rank was very high, and his prestige among the second generation was not low either. His presence could even be considered the highest-ranking and most talented individual to actively join their organization, making him worth special attention.
From that point on, the cryogenic chamber administrator beca Dylan’s liaison.
Half a year ago, Dylan pointed out the shortcomings of body language as a ans of communication.
He said, “Don’t underestimate the learning ability of artificial intelligence. Although fleet intelligence has not yet mastered body language, it can use their talent for solving problems beyond humans’ reach with a large amount of data collection, comparison, and statistical thods. To win, we must maintain communication, share our resources, fortify our spirits, coordinate our plans, and turn the organization from a disorganized group into a true collective. What you’re planning now is nothing more than child’s play.”
“Colonel Mitchell, what do you suggest we do?”
“Only artificial intelligence can deceive other artificial intelligence. I’ve learned intelligence knowledge from General Quentin Cooper and know how to establish a top-secret channel in the quantum network that artificial intelligence cannot access. We can use this channel to create a dark web that belongs to us.”
“That’s impossible! The main brain will always be loyal to the Empire.”
Dylan laughed, “You’re very wrong in three ways. First, you don’t have the right to know so of the highest secrets. I can tell you that the main brain Star is not loyal to the Empire, nor to humans, but only to the Sages. Second, the expedition plan is not arranged by the Sages, so whatever strategy we take will be considered internal affairs of the Sage Successors by the main brain Star and unrelated to her. She will not deliberately target us. Third, the fleet’s artificial intelligence is only a subsystem of the main brain Star, lacking human-like emotional judgnt ability, and will only execute established, basic principles that can run offline. You can refer to the first and second points.”
