Chapter 122 "Paradise"
—The request to join the Galactic Consortium finally went through, even though the censors were genuinely appalled by the civilization.
This seems to be a special kind of omnic civilization, they are extremely "fraternal" and mourn the division of the entire galaxy.
For this reason, they are like fighters, wanting to eliminate this barrier and create a perfect galactic world.
Even if the means are somewhat "extreme".
Their kindness to organic beings is not feigned, they seem to be like that to everyone, like some xenophile civilization once was.
But under the skin of this kindness, there is a dangerous idea of assimilating all differences.
They are working hard to integrate all living things, even machine intelligence, into their collective consciousness, even if it will make those who advocate individuality lose themselves.
However, the "galactic homology" is indeed not an extermination regime, they are just using another method to resolve the galactic differences.
So after heated debates, the "Galactic Consortium" finally became a member of the "Galactic Community", but their cautious introduction was also passed on to the entire galaxy.
The galactic civilizations have since known that a "fighter" who is working hard to eliminate all barriers has stepped onto the galactic stage.
After that, this group of exhausted inspectors had to go to recuperate, and another batch of "joint inspection team" went to review the situation of "Serving Paradise".
In view of the situation encountered in the "Galaxy Family", the inspectors who came to the "Serving Paradise" this time should be more informed.
They came to the home planet of "Serving Paradise" - an "ideal city" planet directly called "Paradise".
The "Ideal City" planet, the official name in the interstellar world is "Urban Planet", because its surface has been completely covered by tall artificial cities, and there is no natural landscape to be seen, so it got its name.
But more people like to call it "ideal city", because it has the largest population capacity except the ring world, and all creatures can get the greatest satisfaction on it, in all aspects.
However, it is only its most basic function to live in people. If there are more people, the production capacity will be higher. The "ideal city" is usually full of office workers who voluntarily work overtime because of the favorable living environment.
Besides the Lost Empire, there are very few known urban planets in the galaxy, and they are all controlled by a few old civilizations. Even the capital must be moved to ensure the safety of the urban planets.
Therefore, a new "ideal city" planet can be seen here in this omnic civilization, which surprised all the examiners.
“…Honestly speaking, I didn’t expect this omnic that suddenly appeared to have an ‘ideal city’…at our level, it would take hundreds of years to do this.”
"Is this why people are more angry than people? Their birth conditions are so perfect, and we can only be born from that place covered by drought and heat waves..."
“…if only we had such a planet.”
Everyone harbored envy and a flash of malice.
Although it is not uncommon for the weak to prey on the strong, now that the "Galaxy Community" has been established, the battles between civilizations are often put on the negotiating table.
If this malice is practiced, the stable situation that has been formed with great difficulty may be in vain.
Besides, they haven't even finished accepting the inheritance of the "Silent One", so there is no need to be taboo about it for the time being.
Not to mention that the background behind this civilization called "Serving Paradise" may be a bit big.
So after a bit of spitting, this group of inspectors entered the "paradise" and started their on-site inspection.
As expected, the servant robot from "Serving Paradise" came to greet them.
They have also read those documents and know that this is an omnic civilization with only 10% of the organic population and 90% of the mechanical population.
And those organisms called "Masters" can know from the address that the omnic attaches great importance to them, and it is absolutely impossible to greet them in person. It is very normal to see a machine servant here.
But there is also a situation that is not consistent with the information they understand, that is, these machine servants... seem to be very indifferent to them.
"...Didn't you say 'want to turn all organisms into their masters'? How does it feel..."
The servitors who came to meet them donned a bionic skin, which seemed to be custom-made to imitate the appearance of their "master".
Although this layer of skin is not that important to the machine servants, under the request of their "master", they still try their best to make everything perfect.
The servitor just told them indifferently that some exclusive areas belonging to the "master" were not open to the public, and then let them do their own thing. This made the examiners who were waiting to see what "serving" was called looked at each other.
At first they thought that those organic creatures called "Masters" liked to be treated like this, but when they accidentally saw what kind of life the machine servants here provided for "Masters", they became a little unbalanced.
"... Is it necessary for a 'master' to have so many servants? According to the efficiency of these servants, one servant is enough to meet all needs?"
What they saw was a scene where an organic creature was surrounded by a dozen machine servants and left, and this was not an exception, almost all organisms were like this.
"It seems that the ratio is not an exaggeration. The owners of these 'servants' are indeed too few...so why don't they even provide us with some basic services?" Some people were a little puzzled, and they couldn't figure out what the reason for this differential treatment was. .
Even the attitude of the more extreme civilization of the "galactic homology" is much better than that of the machine servants here.
"However, the appearance of these 'masters' and the servants looks familiar... Do you think there are some similarities with the robots of the 'Guardian' and 'Coordinator'?"
"...It is indeed the case. Although there are many more organs that look like other animals, they are still similar in general..."
"So it is basically certain that this 'Serving Paradise' civilization is at least related to a lost empire? I really lost at the starting line..."
Although they were sad, these inspectors cheered up quickly. Even though they already knew some incredible backgrounds, they still had to go through the procedures that should be followed, even if they were just pretending.
So they started a "ideal city" vacation trip.
"...To be honest, at first I thought there would definitely be a large number of industrial cities here. After all, ideal cities are generally used for this, but..."
Before the examiner finished speaking, he was immersed in the virtual world, and it took a long time to get out.
And at this time, he also changed from being energetic at the beginning to being in a trance, and he couldn't even stand upright. It seemed that he didn't know what kind of useless life he had experienced in the virtual world, so that when he woke up, he still couldn't believe it. Go back again.
But he is not the only one, in fact all the examiners have been entered into the virtual world.
Among them, the ones who are in good spirits have persisted until now and have not left, while the ones who are in poor spirits have been sitting on the sidelines, and those who don’t know think it’s something terrible.
The gap between this urban planet and their imagination is a bit huge, almost making them think that the knowledge they know is wrong.
The cities covering the surface of this planet are not for production, nor for trade, but for...entertainment.
Large-scale entertainment and leisure centers and sanatoriums can be seen everywhere here, and virtual facilities all over the place allow people to immerse themselves in the virtual world at any time and enjoy the spiritual richness brought by entertainment.
Any way of decompression and leisure that can be thought of is available here, and even the residential area is surrounded by various entertainment equipment.
The creatures who live here seem to have no work at all, just play as they like.
Even if you can’t find something you like, those virtual devices will create a world that absolutely suits your preferences in the virtual world, which is irresistible.
It looks like a dream "paradise".
However, it may be that at the beginning of the design, they did not consider the situation of these inspectors "not accompanied by machine servants", unrestrained immersion in the virtual world without the assistance of supporting facilities, which made their "vacation trip" end just as it started up.
They were so exhausted that they even lay down on the ground regardless of their image, and fell asleep. If this picture spreads out, it may cause a blow to the civilization behind them. It is hard to imagine that these "ambassadors" will become like this .
In the end, some passing machine servants carried them into the recuperation center, and after a short period of careful care, they managed to wake up, but their energy returned to the peak under the action of some special medicines, and it was completely invisible. They were playing dumb before.
"...Is your video equipment turned off?" An inspector lying in the recuperation cabin suddenly asked this question, and he was relieved after receiving an affirmative answer.
"Fortunately, in this case at least you won't be fined wages..." Thinking that he still has to worry about a little wages, and looking at the extremely happy lives of the "masters" here, he couldn't help but sighed again.
"...To be honest, if I could, I wouldn't want to go back... There are no annoying bosses here, and there is no need to worry about life, no need to be afraid...Why wasn't I born here?"
"Yo? Disarmed and surrendered so soon? What a 'hard-bodied' man!"
"...you deserve to say me? I just counted you as the worst!"
Several well-connected inspectors bickered again, but then they were taken aback for a second, and then laughed helplessly.
Busy at work, how long has it been since they felt so relaxed?
"Sigh... People are more angry than people... Let's hurry up and go back. This civilization is really powerful. I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I will become useless."
The examiners all came down from the recuperation cabin with a sigh, ready to leave this sad place.
But before they left, they asked a servitor one last question.
"We want to know, is your statement of 'serving all organisms' a lie? Obviously we are also organisms, why don't you seem too interested?"
And the Servant also told them the answer very sincerely on this matter:
"...We need to explain something in advance, what we are talking about is 'turning all organisms into our masters', not 'serving all organisms', my lord, please don't misinterpret our underlying agreement."
"As for the reason for not being served, it is also very obvious, that is, you and other adults are not our 'masters', you are really ugly."
"If you want to be our 'master', we have a full set of gene editing methods and body transformation methods here, and we will make you a 'master' who is just like her in terms of wisdom, body, and appearance." 'similar and perfectly perfect 'host', and it's free."
"So... would you like to be our 'master'?"
