No Money to Divorce

The live camera made a soft beep to remind everyone present that the live broadcast had started.

Since the establishment of the round table, this is the first time that artificial intelligence has been absent from the round table in the past [-] years.Even though this was a process that had been discussed yesterday and "Butterfly" knew about it, all the members present still felt somewhat disobedient. It's about to start.

There was no light beam representing artificial intelligence lit up in the middle of the round table. Instead, Staben, who was seated at the top, stood up and announced the start of the meeting to all the participants present and all the citizens of the Federation who were watching them through live cameras.He began to read out the contents of the impeachment in an old but clear voice, and all the twelve sitting members in attendance looked at him to show respect.

Regardless of the outcome of the vote, this will be the last time the round table will be used.No matter how uninformed the news is, as a non-voting member, I have also received rumors in the past few days. At this time, everyone here knows that after the crisis is over, the Person Party will propose structural reforms. will cease to exist completely.

In other words, this is the last roundtable meeting of the Federation of Humanity. After today, mankind will enter a new era. As for what kind of new era the Federation will usher in—won or lose, it all depends on this moment.

"...According to the emergency regulations established when the first artificial intelligence "cocoon" was born more than 200 years ago, when the impeachment voting meeting was launched, that is, a few minutes ago, the artificial intelligence 'Butterfly' had entered a temporary hibernation, Waiting for the voting results." Starben finished reading the contents of the manuscript, and stretched out his hand to push away the virtual screen in front of him, "Then, as the host of this voting, I announce that the voting will start now, my colleagues and juniors, please, After I have reported the votes, express your positions in clear language one by one, and the opinion of the party with more than half of the votes, that is, seven votes, will be adopted."

He sat down again, and as the first person to vote, Starben said with a straight face and without hesitation: "I vote against it. I oppose the impeachment of artificial intelligence 'Butterfly'."

On the counting boards of countless styles prepared by countless media websites, a number 1 was recorded under the words of opposition.

The first vote at the opening was a negative vote. Although Starben's negative vote was a certainty, the virtual website was still in a downturn. Of course, there were a small number of people cheering, but no matter where, the comments were posted too fast. I didn't even bother to reply to others, everyone was busy expressing their opinions, which saved a lot of unnecessary quarrels.

The second vote was the turn of Peisen on Starben's right. He slowly looked around the audience. Under the live camera facing the entire federation, his eyes seemed to be very peaceful, without any deep meaning. When he finally saw Zhong Yan, He showed a strange smile that seemed to be nothing, and said: "The artificial intelligence has a major fault, and it has lost its meaning-I vote for it."

The whole world was in an uproar.

The faces of half of the people on the round table changed suddenly.Rao Peisen has spent most of his life in the Senate, and he has long practiced the ability to keep emotions out of his emotions. Seeing his lifelong rival, Staben, staring at him in shock, his expression was ugly. Zhiji finally couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but in the next second, he suddenly left the young man sitting next to Staben, and the joy in his heart faded like a tide.

As the current main member of the Conservative Party, as the planner and main beneficiary of this so-called "life after death" plan, someone did not follow the script just after the second vote. Nothing, just like the calm water surface of an ancient well.

A child in his twenties, with no other skills, but a set of pretense.Pei Sen's good mood was ruined, and he thought that the last plan was accidentally destroyed because of Zhong Yan, and he didn't know whether Zhong Yan was on purpose or not, and then thought that Zhong Yan, a mere newcomer, parted ways with him without knowing what was good or bad, Switched to his old rival's sect... New hatred and old hatred surged in his heart, Pei Sen thought maliciously, when the live camera was turned off, he would answer the young people's questions and tell Zhong Yan himself why If he changed his mind, he wouldn't believe it anymore, Zhong Yan could still be so calm after hearing that his husband personally ruined his plan to make it to the top.

"I am in favor of abolishing artificial intelligence and restoring human autonomy." Farrar's voice pulled everyone back to the status quo, "I vote for it."

There are now two votes in favor, more than the number of votes against.

Starben gave Farrar a vicious look, almost wanting to vomit blood in his heart.According to the procedure arranged yesterday, Farrer should indeed vote in favor, but before him, someone changed his vote and voted for it. Those who really want the plan to succeed and keep the artificial intelligence should change their votes and vote against it, but Farrer Not only did they not change their votes, but they also said the banner slogan "Restore Human Autonomy" that the Na'vi star region has always held high.At this moment, Farrar has fully stated his position, and he is an anti-artificial intelligence person.

Several people looked at him differently, but no one would get angry in front of the entire Federation, and the voting continued.

The MP on Faller's left was the Conservative Party who was assigned to vote in favor yesterday. He decisively changed his vote and said, "I vote against."

The votes were tied again, and the fifth speaker was a Conservative MP who, according to the script, should have voted against, but he said: "I am in favor of impeachment."

So far, among the first five people, three people have changed their votes. This performance, which was originally written with a script, has completely turned into an undercurrent game where no one knows the outcome.

The sixth vote was cast by a centrist MP who, in the script, should have voted for it.

After Peisen took the lead to vote in favor, the second Radical Party also voted in favor. Peisen and "Butterfly" wanted to have a lot of personal relationships. Maybe people in the world don't know it, but all the members present knew it well. At this time, he suddenly asked the artificial intelligence The ambition to replace it has been clearly revealed.

The neutral party, who was the sixth to speak, hesitated for a long time, and repeatedly counted the votes in his mind. It stands to reason that there are five members of the Radical Party at this table, and Faller's vote is only six votes. In the polling bureau, there is still one vote to pass the impeachment warrant.There must be someone who was paid to vote in favor by Peisen, otherwise, if the impeachment case is dismissed, after "Butterfly" wakes up again, the good days of all those who voted in favor will come to an end.

But Pei Sen probably didn't know that his Radical Party wasn't clean either. It might be difficult for him to get seven votes today.

The neutral party, who has relied on very well-informed intelligence and information for many years, showed a smirk and declared his own face: "No."

The votes were tied three to three.

The next three MPs were two Radicals and one Conservative. They also followed their respective party leaders and cast two votes in favor and one against.

The affirmative vote is currently five to four, with the affirmative vote leading.

No one remembers what the script is anymore. This has completely turned into a long-standing partisan game. At the last round table meeting of mankind, at the end of this era, the twelve members who had long been divided finally finally Violent conflict broke out before the whole world.

The tenth is the last member of the Radical Party to speak. When he votes in favor, the impeachment case will be passed by only one vote.

“I voted no,” said the last Conservative MP, the last to join the Conservative Party. “I am against the abolition of artificial intelligence.”

Everyone looked at Payson with unpredictable expressions, and saw him staring at the Radical MP who had just voted against with his eyes wide open. The eyes are as fierce as if they want to eat people.

After a few seconds, Payson looked back, and he and Staben next to him exchanged a glance, sensitively capturing the scheming flash in the latter's eyes.

Payson closed his eyes, forcibly resisting the urge to slap the table and leave.He remembered that this non-voting member was not a radical party at first, and had always been a neutral party that no one relied on. It was not until a few years ago that he got closer and closer to him and formally formed a party with him, but it turned out that he was not a neutral party. Party, but Stauben's men.This old guy is really willing to spend his money and use a member of the council as a spy, but once this landmine that has been buried with money is detonated, the power is really extraordinary...Person's eyelids twitched, just when he could hardly concentrate on the desktop On the road, when I started to conceive the remedial measures, I suddenly heard an unexpected speech.

"I agree."

No. 11 speaking MPs, Conservative MPs, voted in favour.

This time it was Stubben's turn to be surprised.He looked at the congressman with strange eyes as if he was seeing that congressman for the first time in his life. Could this person be a spy of Payson in the Conservative Party?This is impossible!Staben himself planted a nail in Person's side, and he was especially wary of being punished in the same way as others. He kept a close eye on the connection between these members of his own party and Person's side. , if it was Peisen, how could it be possible to not show any trace?

While Starben was distracted, Zhong Yan seemed to raise his eyes unintentionally, and met the eyes of Farrer who was diagonally opposite.

The eyes of the two met and parted in mid-air.Faller is not a person who just muddle through after a big setback. On the contrary, he is extremely resilient. Over the years, even if he is not happy, he has been working hard to manage his own power. He joined the round table ten years ago and was later The so-called Conservative MPs Daben recruited were none other than his own.

As a result, the number of votes in favor reached six, only one vote away from a majority.
