Chapter 3456: Enemy

There was silence in the dimly lit room, and blue-blue light emerged from the screen, illuminating the table in front of him and the figure of a young girl, who stared at the screen without saying a word.
"All in all...that's it, sorry, there's nothing I can do."
"I know."
The girl answered lightly, and then cut off the communication. Then, she stared at the screen without saying a word. At this moment, the door next to him opened, and then, a girl with wheat-colored skin walked in.
"What's wrong? Anesta? It's the first time I've seen you look like this."
Seeing the expressionless face of the girl sitting at the table, the wheat-colored girl frowned and asked. In her memory, this girl always had a smile on her face, a naughty and cheerful look, but now she is full of sadness and anger.
In the eyes of the wheat-skinned girl, this is the first time this has happened.
"... The student council president sent me news just now."
The girl named Ainesta lowered her eyes and stared at the table, her voice not as lively and excited as usual.
"The Garden Council has passed a decision to prohibit any intelligent machine from appearing in the Xingwu Festival in human form."
"what?!"
Hearing this, the wheat-colored girl's originally calm face suddenly changed slightly. But the bad news doesn't stop there.
"... The operation committee has also made a decision to prohibit the appearance of any human-shaped intelligent machines... The human-shaped intelligent machines currently manufactured must be destroyed..."
Saying this, Ainesta clenched her fists tightly and clenched her teeth. And hearing Ainesta's answer, the wheat-colored girl was also taken aback. Even though she saw Ainesta's expression like this, she knew that the situation was not good. But what she didn't expect was that things would turn out like this!
"Why is this? Is it because you didn't get actual results at the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival?"
Even though she said so, the wheat-colored girl herself felt that this was too unbelievable. Indeed, at last year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, the chairman of the operation committee also specifically mentioned the special permission for the participation of the humanoid omnics. As a result, the robot they built not only failed to win the championship, but was even smashed into scrap metal in the first round. To be honest, this result was beyond the expectations of the two of them, causing them to bear considerable pressure for the next whole year.
Unlike other academies, the Alcant Institute is divided into five factions, almost all of which act independently. The ideological school is mainly responsible for studying basic theories and natural sciences, and the main research direction of the lion school is brilliant weapons and weaponry. The Superman faction focuses on body strengthening and transformation, while the Black Woman faction mainly conducts research on new materials and manufacturing processes.
The last group of sculptors is responsible for the simulacrum and its control.
Ainesta Quino and the wheatish-skinned girl, Camilla Paret, were the core of the Sculpture School. Especially Ainesta, although she is usually naughty and frivolous, she has a keen observation and a genius-like calculation ability.
However, although they are both members of the Sculpture School, their goals are different.
What Anesda desires is to create a unique and strongest analog form.
And Camilla's goal is to create a general-purpose simulacrum that anyone can use.
To put it bluntly, it is the difference between a dedicated machine and a mass-produced machine.
Although the goals of the two are not the same, this does not prevent them from becoming friends.
However... Suddenly hearing the news, Camilla was also taken aback.
"What the is this? Anesta?"
"...Someone saw through our thoughts."
Saying this, Ainesta suddenly became gritted her teeth.
"How can it be?"
"I don't know how he did it..."
When Ainesta said this, she also felt cold inside. In fact, Anesda's ultimate goal is indeed to create a self-disciplined simulacrum that has emotions and will grow, and she also expects her "children" To be able to one day gain the same rights as human beings.
But what Ainesta didn't expect was that her own wish, which had been hidden in the depths of her heart, was actually seen directly by the other party! ?
"...How is this possible? How could someone from our school be so familiar with Luoxing Engineering?"
After listening to what Ainesta conveyed, Fang Zheng's guess at the meeting made Camilla go numb. She didn't expect that someone would be so keen, and just from the design of the human figure, she could see their true thoughts? !
"I don't know either, but now..."
Having said this, Ainesta gritted her teeth and said nothing. Fangzheng not only saw through her thoughts, but also directly blocked all escape routes for Ainesta. Mimics in human form are not allowed, which means that no matter how far Anesda develops autonomous AIs, they will never be considered human. Maybe there will be an animal protection law or something like pets, but... The future that Anesta hopes will allow simulants to have the same rights as humans will never appear again.
"But this is just the decision of the academy, the chaebol of the unified enterprise..."
"The Cord of Our Lady is very unhappy with us."
Ainesta shook her head. Under normal circumstances, the resolution of the academy meeting would not take effect immediately, but would be submitted to it for discussion by the Academy City Management Committee composed of representatives of the eight chaebols. If it is just a simple and unreasonable request to prohibit the manufacture of humanoid simulacra, then it may not be recognized, but Fangzheng has made the reason very clear, and it is not that there are no smart people among other chaebols. Not groundless, but a real threat.
So in the end, the operation committee not only passed the proposal in the academy meeting, but also directly promulgated regulations, declaring that all the pseudo-machines made in the academy city are illegal, and all the existing humanoid pseudo-machines must be destroyed.
Not only that, but this incident also made the Virgin's Cord Consortium behind the Alcant Institute very dissatisfied. After all, they are also conducting similar research internally. In the past, other chaebols did not care about this issue, but now it is certain that in this After the incident, several other chaebols will keep their eyes on the research of the Cord of the Virgin in the aspect of humanoid simulacrum, and what else will happen if they are not in balance.
In the eyes of the Virgin Mary, this is the responsibility of Anesta and Camilla. If they were not eager to get success, they would not have risked the company's confidential operations being leaked. So they also responded—just now, they had informed Ainesta through the student council president of Alcant, requesting that the "Sculpture School" must unconditionally cooperate with the operation committee's actions and completely destroy all humanoid figures. body.
Obviously, the Cord of the Virgin is planning to leave the to protect the car.
This is the tragedy of the Star Vessel generation. Although in this city, they are far away from the outside world's discrimination against the Star Vein generation, but in turn, they cannot leave this cage, no matter what kind of talent and strength they have, they must At the mercy of the chaebols.
So even if there are 10,000 Ainestas who don't want to... Now she doesn't say it.
But that doesn't mean she'll give up.
"...Kasugano...I will never let you go!"
Ainesta gritted her teeth and spoke fiercely.
"...Ahhhhh!!"
Fang Zheng sneezed and wiped his nose.
"What's wrong? Kasugano-kun?"
Imari Yongkura looked at Fang Zheng curiously and asked, the latter shrugged.
"Who knows, maybe some pretty girl misses me."
"Aha……………"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Yongcang Imari looked bewildered, and Juba rolled his eyes without curiosity.
"Maybe someone secretly scolds you behind your back."
"How is that possible? A handsome, gentle and kind person like me never hates anyone."
"Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this."
Juba shook her head. She has been with him for more than a year, and she has some understanding of Zhenggan's character, knowing that it is meaningless to argue with him at this time.
"I just wanted to say, about that whole new way of training...is it really okay?"
"Of course...it can't be okay."
Fang Zheng pouted.
"Otherwise, why do you want you to sign a guarantee?"
At the beginning of the new semester, the students, including Juba, were also notified about the arrival of a new teacher. Of course, for them, what was more relevant was the introduction of "special courses". According to Jiujiu Shuoye, this special course is specially prepared for students who have undergone the ritual of sublimation. As long as they can pass the test, they can obtain a new and more powerful force that is enough to compete with other schools.
But this is not without a price. Before receiving special training, everyone will get a letter of guarantee, saying that special training may threaten life safety. If you don't want to accept it, you can choose to give up. But at the same time, if the special course is given up, then its status in Haoling Academy will also decline.
This naturally made Juba and the others uneasy. They wanted to ask Fangzheng about it, and wanted to know what the special course was about. However, Fangzheng said that this is an interesting secret, and you will understand it only when you experience it—it would be too boring to say it now.
If it wasn't for the defeat, Juba really wanted to go up and face Fang Zheng and output.
Of course, if she really dared, Fang Zheng would naturally welcome him.
By the way, as expected by Fangzheng, Julie and Sui Gaoya both signed the guarantee letter immediately, while Imari Yongkura hesitated for a while and then signed it. , took out the momentum of selling his body to bury his father and signed the guarantee.
To be honest, from here, Fangzheng can see... Maybe Juba will not be able to pass this special course.
Perhaps Juba didn't realize that the main reason why she took the special course was that she wanted to be with Sui Gaoya. Obviously, she was unwilling to give up her partner.
But the question is, in the face of death... How long can this persistence last?
Well, Fang Zheng said he would wait and see.
"Drip, drip, drip."
Just when Fang Zheng had just finished eating, suddenly, the comm sound beside him ~EbookFREE.me~ Fang Zheng greeted Julie and the others, then walked out of the restaurant and turned on the communicator in the corridor.
Soon, Dongtang Daohua's voice appeared in Fang Zheng's ear.
"Ah, hello, Kasugano-kun, regarding the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival..."
"Silvia also has trouble with me, so I only promised to explain the semi-finals and finals. Is there a problem?"
"No."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Dongtang Daohua was also relieved.
"Then, can I invite you to Pojun Academy? I just have something to ask for..."
If I go now, I can catch up when I come back to see how Juba and the others were cleaned up.
Fang Zheng calculated the time, and nodded silently.
"Of course, no problem."
