Chapter 4163: Yes, Supreme Sorcerer (14)

What is called lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own feet, what is called telling one lie requires ten thousand lies to round it off. Now Strange's situation perfectly interprets these two sentences.

Before seeing through Schiller's intentions, Strange had to cover for the fact that he suddenly proposed environmental protection work. So he racked his brains to think of an excuse and had already announced it at the regular meeting, which was that cosmic resources were exhausted and dark matter began to fluctuate. He even let little Thomas go to forge evidence. The black and white data monitoring could not be faked.

"I was just about to say this," the Supreme Intelligence said, "The dark matter monitoring instruments used by the Bolin people were purchased from the Kree Empire. They sent us a set of dark matter monitoring data, and the data performance is quite abnormal, which can simply be called a disaster. However, there is no clear evidence that this is brought about by excessive consumption of cosmic resources. I think such a reason cannot stand. Perhaps we can solve the problem of dark matter outbreak from other aspects."

Schiller was not in a hurry. He sat in front of Strange's desk, while the Supreme Intelligence stood on the side of the desk. Schiller turned slightly to look at him and said: "Do the three major empires have the ability to solve the problem of a comprehensive dark matter outbreak in the universe?"

"We can suppress a portion of dark matter, making its activity decrease, or not increase further."

"But I presume it's not all, or even most of it?"

"That's right, but once we know about this, we can conduct research in this direction. The three major empires have sufficient resources and scientific research reserves. I believe it won't be long before we can handle this problem."

"That's not bad," Schiller said, "But this does not conflict with the Interstellar Council proposing environmental issues. Scientific research must be done, and environmental protection must also be done. Is there any problem?"

"I said, dark matter outbreak and cosmic resource consumption do not necessarily have a direct relationship. This conclusion does not have enough data support, and I am afraid it is difficult to convince the public."

"Do you mean that if dark matter outbreak has no direct relationship with cosmic resource consumption, then we don't have to engage in environmental protection, is that it?"

"Uh, I don't mean that, it's just that we don't need to excessively prevent resource consumption with such an urgent rescue posture, which may bring very serious livelihood problems. For example, some backward civilizations may slow down their development speed because of this. I think this is not good for the prestige of the Interstellar Council and the personal reputation of Mr. Speaker."

"There is indeed no sufficient evidence to prove that excessive consumption of cosmic resources will lead to dark matter outbreaks, but there is also no sufficient evidence to prove that excessive consumption of cosmic resources will not bring other disasters." Schiller looked at the Supreme Intelligence and said, "Mr. Secretary-General, please answer me, can you prove that all disasters that occur in the universe in the future have nothing to do with excessive consumption of cosmic resources?"

The Supreme Intelligence was a bit speechless, but he also understood what Schiller was hinting at.

This dark matter outbreak might indeed not have much to do with excessive consumption of cosmic resources, but once he chose to deny the environmental protection topic and hinder the progress of environmental protection work, then he would have to take responsibility for all disasters that occurred in the universe in the future. Someone would definitely say that if environmental protection work had been done well at the beginning, the disaster might not have happened, and then after checking and checking, they would find that it was him who did not support environmental protection work. Even if the number of affected people was small, it would still offend people.

Although the three major empires are not very afraid of this, since they have formed the Interstellar Council, they naturally hope that the Interstellar Council can have sufficient authority. The Supreme Intelligence does not want to shake the prestige of the Interstellar Council because of such things.

"I am not trying to block environmental protection work," the Supreme Intelligence expressed his stance first, saying, "It's just that the dark matter outbreak has already caused a certain panic. If we push environmental protection work too urgently, I am afraid it will confirm this panic. I think this has no benefit. Perhaps we should slow down a little..."

"Has the dark matter outbreak caused panic?" Schiller frowned and asked, "Then how did you, the Secretary-General, do your job? The ministers are the initiators of the policy. Leaking the government decree has no benefit to them. Then the only person who leaked the secret is the standing secretary. You are not investigating who leaked the dark matter outbreak, but instead, you are asking the Speaker to settle the matter. This is a performance of negligence."

"No no no," the Supreme Intelligence quickly refuted, "This kind of panic does not refer to large-scale panic at the mass level, but panic within the Interstellar Council at a very small scale, which only occurred among the participants."

"Do you mean that the Speaker and the standing secretary who participated in the meeting felt panic about the dark matter outbreak?"

"Yes... ah no, not really." The Supreme Intelligence's words turned 180 degrees, and he said somewhat stutteringly, "I mean, there is some worry and anxiety."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought the employees of the Interstellar Council were cowards, and even a dark matter outbreak could scare them into wetting their pants. You know, the Supreme Sorcerer has always looked down on such cowardly people. If that were really the case, I am afraid they would all have to be fired."

The Supreme Intelligence sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. This guy's words were full of pits everywhere. If his brain turned a little slower, he would easily fall into them. If he dared to say that the participants were very panicked, he guaranteed that he would make a mountain out of a molehill, incite the Speaker to fire them all, and then arrange his own people in. They definitely could do it, or rather, they were just waiting for this.

Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Schiller said somewhat disappointedly: "So it's worry and anxiety. This can also be considered human nature. After all, trillions of galaxies in the universe are shouldering on these diligent political public instruments. If they have uncontrollable emotions like panic, their political life will be over."

Hearing the threat in his tone, the Supreme Intelligence was also helpless. He said: "I guarantee that they have no panic, and they will definitely not affect their work because of emotions, just a little worried. But even so, we must take care of their emotions and cannot act arbitrarily."

"Do you mean that in order not to further deepen their anxiety, we should push environmental protection work slowly. Is that it?"

The High Intelligence really wanted to say, "You summarized that very well, but please stop summarizing." As long as Shiler summarized what he said, he felt that there must be a trap waiting for him ahead; if he dared to nod, he would be kicked down. He could climb back up once or twice, but he couldn't climb back up forever; sooner or later, he would be smashed to death.

"Obviously, I am an electronic life, and my understanding of emotions is obviously not as good as you emotional lives. However, my behavior analysis module is still quite advanced. Of course, if there are any mistakes, it is normal. After all, I am not an emotional life. But in my humble opinion, starting from the overall situation, considering the humanistic care you often talk about, and adding the consideration of Mr. Speaker's reputation, I think slow progress is a good choice."

Strange was holding back his laughter and trembling. Actually, he is not as ignorant of electronic life as he said. Don't look at him and Stark yin-yang each other every day, you mock me, I mock you, but because they are the leaders of the technology and magic sides respectively, they have an understanding of what each other is doing. Strange is actually one of the humans who knows electronic life relatively well.

Generally speaking, electronic life will not be polite. They may imitate human behavior, but most of the time they prefer efficient work modes. The words they say are best to be accurate and precise, because saying one more word belongs to the waste of function and computing power.

But now Schiller has forced the Supreme Intelligence to this point. Ninety percent of this paragraph is armor, and there is no information content at all. It has forced electronic life to be able to speak long and difficult sentences. If this continues, don't evolve the Supreme Intelligence.

"Alright, Mr. Secretary-General, it seems that you are indeed very concerned about the health of the members. However, I think there is a better way to solve the panic that may exist within the Council than pushing work slowly."

"What way?"

"Hire a psychologist," Schiller said, "As far as I know, the councilors supported by the Interstellar Council do not have doctors for psychological counseling, which is not very good. Although most of the standing department is electronic life, can it be that electronic life does not have the right to psychological treatment? I think this is a form of discrimination."

The Supreme Intelligence opened his mouth. You really said everything. Electronic life doesn't even have feelings, so what kind of psychologist are you looking at?

Wait, this Schiller seems to be a psychologist, right?

Just as he thought of this, he heard Schiller say: "I am a psychologist from Earth, with several years of experience, and also have experience in providing psychological counseling for electronic life. I can perfectly deal with all kinds of psychological emergencies. For example, if we can provide psychological counseling to everyone after the dark matter outbreak event is announced, then the so-called worry and anxiety will definitely be alleviated. In this way, not only do we not have to delay the work progress, but we can also keep the members mentally healthy. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"No no no," the Supreme Intelligence quickly said, "I think the staff of the Council are not that anxious, and it is completely not at the level of needing a doctor. It's just a little worry."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought they had reached the point where they must be equipped with a psychologist. It turns out they don't need it?"

"No need, no need," the Supreme Intelligence quickly said. Compared to the environmental protection topic that is not yet written, if this guy becomes the psychologist of the Interstellar Council, that would be a big trouble. And he also said he has experience in treating electronic life. He wouldn't treat them until they are no longer electronic life, right?

The Supreme Intelligence is a bit different from other electronic lives. He has no desire to get rid of the life form of electronic life, nor does he want to evolve. He rules the Kree Empire, but in fact, he is also the collective consciousness of the Kree Empire, and he also needs to adapt to the work of ruling the Kree Empire, so he cannot undergo sudden evolution. What a top empire needs most is stability. If it changes every three days, the empire would have collapsed long ago.

So the Supreme Intelligence actually doesn't want to evolve, and even resists change. He doesn't want to face any psychologist and then mess up his originally stable program. Originally, humans didn't attack the Kree Empire. Where would he send his main general to the executioner?

And at this time, he heard Schiller say: "Although I am the private political advisor of the Supreme Sorcerer, during his tenure in the Interstellar Council, I can be considered half a colleague with everyone in the department. I am very concerned about the health of my colleagues and oppose all forms of overdrawing health to push work. I personally think it is more important to solve the emotional problems of the members first."

"However, I believe that everyone in the department is diligent, leaving their hometowns, and has been working selflessly in the Interstellar Council for so many years. It must not be for meager salary and treatment, but truly carrying the development of the interstellar society on their shoulders and keeping it in their hearts. They are so diligent and selfless, but if they know that just a small problem makes a great work beneficial to the interstellar society and all interstellar citizens unable to be implemented, they must be very guilty and unable to sleep at night. We cannot put them in a dilemma of being unrighteous because we are too concerned about them and too worried about them having emotional problems. What do you think, Mr. Secretary-General?" ===== CHAPTER 4164 =====
