Chapter 4177

The Supreme Intelligence, who was watching the whole meeting from the side, was confused; why did the meeting end?

No, what did you decide? Is there any brainwave communication I don't know about that has been completed? Or is English actually a code language that can form other information after deconstruction and reorganization? Otherwise, if you only look at the literal meaning, didn't you do anything?

The Supreme Intelligence has no emotions; although he has a behavior analysis module, the behavior analysis module for emotional life cannot be completely accurate; after all, emotion is a very complex thing. If you have never had it, but rely entirely on data inference, it is difficult to be accurate.

And now, his behavior analysis module is like it's broken: reality analysis tells him that the content of their speech has nothing worth being excited or moved about; but his behavior analysis module tells him that everyone is really moved. What on earth are you moved by?

As the supreme ruler of one of the three major empires, there are few things the Supreme Intelligence cannot understand. He has a memorandum of unsolved mysteries, but most of the records on it are problems related to cosmic source power and laws. I didn't expect that today I would have to add a meeting record.

Now these carbon-based lives give the Supreme Intelligence the feeling that they seem to be broken; it's mainly that the Supreme Intelligence has no better way to describe this state; it's just that what they think, what they express, and their views on this matter are completely mismatched. Is this really not a malfunction?

The Supreme Intelligence cannot think about this problem for too long, because he must solve that damn strike event. He can be sure that this time it must be the mastermind who changed the data before, so he must be very careful and determined not to give the other party a chance.

"Botis 002, the Armed Forces Department first dispatches a hundred-person team to maintain order. Note, don't do it first; the other party must have arranged reporters. Focus on appeasement. If there are very fierce resisters, knock them out first."

The Supreme Intelligence sent such a message to the secretary of the Armed Forces Department, but before two seconds passed, the secretary responded: "Sorry, Mr. Secretary-General, the Minister of Armed Forces does not agree to dispatch troops."

"Why?"

"According to logical inference, the other party learned that the race on strike is a product of the Kree Empire's invasion experiment, and the Skrull Empire did not participate in it. He wants to take this opportunity to suppress the Kree Empire in terms of public opinion, so he refused to dispatch troops."

"What? This idiot, doesn't he know that if this matter is not handled well, the one who loses face is the entire Interstellar Council?!"

"I said so, but he said, the striking workers are mechanical lives; to take violent measures to suppress mechanical lives, it must be confirmed by the 'Anti-Racial Discrimination Law'..."

"Then go and confirm it!"

"The Interstellar Court rejected our application," the secretary said, "There are more people from the Shi'ar Empire there. They said that if they pass the application for violent suppression, it may be suspected of racial discrimination..."

The Supreme Intelligence finally understood what it means to lift a rock and hit his own foot. Because the two major empires are both mechanical lives, they used various means to improve the status of non-carbon-based lives. As a result, the ones rebelling this time are mechanical lives, which made them tied up and unable to do anything.

The Supreme Intelligence also gave up the idea of violent suppression. After all, the Minister of Armed Forces' thinking also makes sense: this race is a product of the Kree Empire's previous experiments; if they send troops to suppress them, in case they can't be wiped out, public opinion will be very unfavorable to them.

Still the same sentence, it would be fine when the three major empires were prosperous, but now they are in a weak period and cannot shake the morale of the army anymore; it is best not to have any risk at all; acting recklessly is not a way.

But non-violent means are not so easy either. The Supreme Intelligence thought for a while and felt that he still had to negotiate, so he contacted the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again.

"You write a negotiation draft," the Supreme Intelligence said directly, "Go and find out the other party's requirements, formulate two conditions, one high and one low, it's best to find a reliable middleman..."

"Sorry, Mr. Secretary-General, the minister does not agree."

"Why?"

"He said, the employees of the transport system belong to the internal personnel of the Interstellar Council, and communicating with them is not the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"I don't care what method you use, let him sign!" The Supreme Intelligence said coldly, "Otherwise don't blame me for cutting off the power to the energy hub."

"Sorry, Mr. Secretary-General, according to the duty regulations, I need to complete my work according to the work tasks assigned when the Interstellar Council was established. For tasks not within the duties of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am afraid I cannot be competent..."

The Supreme Intelligence sighed in his heart again: this guy's evolution degree is not high, too rigid, counting on him is probably not going to work; he has to find the Minister of Foreign Affairs himself.

"This is very difficult, Mr. Secretary-General," the Minister of Foreign Affairs shook his head and said, "Our duty is to regulate the relationship between various civilizations, but the welfare problem of Interstellar Council employees is obviously not something we can manage. The Sorcerer Supreme will not allow departments to exceed their authority. It's useless for you to find me; can I disobey the Sorcerer Supreme's order?"

"Then you tell me what to do." The Supreme Intelligence has gradually lost patience, and he said, "If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have let you carbon-based organisms be any ministers..."

"Ahem, Mr. Secretary-General, I must remind you that this remark of yours has a suspicion of racial discrimination. Of course, I know you didn't mean it, so I won't care about you. I do have a plan here, it just depends on whether you can realize it."

"Say it."

"Establish a Ministry of Transport," the Minister of Foreign Affairs extended a hand and said, "We should have had a Ministry of Transport originally. The transport of most popular star sectors has problems, but you have always been improving automatic driving technology. I know your technology is very advanced, but not everything in this world can be solved by mathematics. Just like this time, the worker welfare problem of the transport system has become so serious that even robots have to go on strike. If you can't give a thorough explanation, the Interstellar Council will lose face."

How could the Supreme Intelligence not know that, in fact, such a basic department as the Ministry of Transport should have been established long ago. They have been slow to establish it because the transport lines of the entire universe are basically in the hands of the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. The aircraft used by the transport systems circulating in the universe are 80% from these two empires, and the Shi'ar Empire basically does not export their spaceships.

Because of this, their control over the transport equipment of various civilizations is very strong, so all spaceships are sailing according to their will, so there is no need to establish a department specifically to manage it. Instead, after it was established, it might allow the Shi'ar Empire to take advantage of the situation.

However, no one expected that the employee welfare problem would really be a problem, and the one with the employee welfare problem was a robot. This time, the two of them had no reason not to establish a Ministry of Transport.

The Shi'ar Empire has also had many complaints about this. The Supreme Intelligence doesn't agree now; after the situation worsens, the Shi'ar Empire will definitely exert pressure and demand the establishment of a Ministry of Transport.

It's better for him to loosen his mouth now, and he can also let the Shi'ar Empire exert some effort and hurry up to solve the damn employee welfare problem.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Intelligence rushed to Strange's office without stopping. Strange was playing with a meditation ball there; seeing the Supreme Intelligence come in, he put down the thing in his hand and said: "Milk tea or black tea? Oh, wait, you are a robot. I can try adding some tea leaves to the engine oil."

"Sorcerer Supreme, I think we should consider forming a Ministry of Transport," the Supreme Intelligence was as efficient as ever, and he said, "We do need a department specifically to manage the transport system, what do you think?"

"I think it's good," Strange nodded and said, "Then go and do it."

The Supreme Intelligence didn't talk nonsense with him either, and directly took out the document for him to sign. Strange looked at it casually and signed it with his hand. However, when he left, he still asked: "Who do you plan to let be the minister?"

"So, you have an idea?"

"I think Schiller is good, what do you think?"

"Better not, I already have a candidate."

Looking at his departing back, Strange shook his head: the Supreme Intelligence is still too naive. If ordinary people don't find a job, they will choose to give up, but Schiller will only choose to create more job positions.

Strange agreed, and naturally no one objected. The Ministry of Transport was established in a hurry, an office was set aside, and a robot minister and his robot secretary were arranged in an unprecedented way; this is actually a puppet department, but no one cares.

The good news is that this time no one blocked the signature; the bad news is that it's useless to sign, and other departments don't cooperate at all.

Actually, it can't be said that they don't cooperate; they were very quick to receive the application of the Ministry of Transport, but the problem is, it can't be executed.

It's okay at the secretary level, but if it goes further down, the speed will slow down a lot. The Supreme Intelligence observed carefully and found: the speed of handling affairs is directly proportional to the number of robots. The more robots, the faster it is handled; the fewer robots, the slower it is handled; if there are no robots, then it won't be pushed at all.

And very unfortunately, most of the members of the Ministry of Commerce are carbon-based lives from the Shi'ar Empire. Because the Grand Portal Commercial District was the most prosperous place in the entire universe before, there are many people from the Shi'ar Empire in the Ministry of Commerce; the Ministry of Finance is about the same. These two departments have the fewest robots, which led to the Supreme Intelligence's application for budget being submitted for a whole day without any reply.

For robots, 24 hours is actually very long, because they were born only to work. Electronic life has no concept of entertainment; they have existed for work since their birth, and their calculation speed is very fast, so their perception of time is completely different from carbon-based life.

It's similar to, a very smart person can think of many things in a very short time, and relatively, time is slowed down; others' one second may be equivalent to their three seconds.

The Supreme Intelligence is like this, the 24 hours in human physical feeling is basically equivalent to a month for him. A full month, this budget has not been approved, which is simply unbearable.

But he went to check carefully and found that there was no problem with the process: first is the audit report, input into the system, budget accounting, comparison of accounting results, query of quotes, calculation of optimal quotes, comparison with budget, and comparison with application report; the comparison results are fine, and it can be passed.

The only problem is that all these processes are calculated by carbon-based lives themselves. A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, one project calculated for a day. When the Supreme Intelligence went to check, the report had only audited 10%.

"Then what can I do," the Minister of Finance said very aggrieved, "The ability of carbon-based lives is only so much, we are not electronic lives, we can't calculate that fast."

"Then your financial system? Use the system to calculate!!" The Supreme Intelligence was simply roaring.

"No, no, no, this won't do," the Minister of Finance said, "The Minister of Transport who submitted the application report is an electronic life, so we cannot use any electronic system for calculation; this needs to avoid suspicion."

The Supreme Intelligence really has no trick.
