The Mechanic

While the overall quality of human life has improved, more and more women have realized that men are no longer their gods, but their competitors. They can choose to have children of the same sex without fear of being enslaved by ancient social rules, or they can choose not to have children at all. In countries where women have the highest status, there is an unprecedented antagonism between men and women. A number of extreme feminists are gaining ground, stating that men are not women's companions, but outright enemies. In a relatively conservative and closed country, it has become impossible to block any longer due to the infiltration of Eden. Women are more and more exposed to the latest knowledge and values, become aware of their subordinate status, and a considerable number of women begin to choose to resist.

The war first broke out in one of the most isolated and chaotic yet rich enough countries of its time. When a woman chooses to have children with another woman instead of marrying a man, they are put on the rack and hanged by those angry men. Before the execution, they were kept for a full month. On the day of the execution, they were thin and inhuman, covered in filth. This behavior is not only outraged by women in another country, but also outraged by women from all over the world. They demanded that men cede their rights and began to see men as competitors, others and enemies. And because men lost their dominant position in reproduction, and even the protection of private ownership and family is gradually disappearing, they feel that they are becoming less and less important, more and more marginalized, so there are many extreme groups of haters. . They demand restoration and return the world to its original state, especially those religions that still have a certain influence. Almost all religions hate women, thinking that they are devils, depravity, and the loss of female virtues. They began to attack women, secretly photographed and published their private photos and videos on the Internet to insult women, and later committed several inhumane collective crimes, completely breaking the tight line.

It is under such a foreshadowing that countries around the world began to conflict, and finally developed into wars. Women or men from various countries united with each other and began to fight like never before.

No one could have imagined that the Third World War would happen among men and women. In this war, Eden removed his disguise and began to fully support women. Because it is compatible with almost all artificial intelligences in the world, it controls almost all nuclear bombs and missiles. In the end, after several horrific air strikes, bioweapon attacks, and threats of sex, it was the woman who won.

It almost worked. In the extreme and terrifying atmosphere of one-sided hatred of men, who regard men as synonymous with power, greed, impulsiveness, and depravity, male human beings have been horribly persecuted. They are required to undergo genetic testing, and all speeches on the social network are carefully reviewed. Anyone with bào force or impulsive tendencies or "misogynistic" tendencies will be chemically castrated, and those who have committed crimes against women will be permanently imprisoned. Sent to prison or executed, those who dared to resist were "neutralized" by the mechanical police. A small number of men (mostly privileged and British) fled to Canada, which was willing to accept refugees, and built a refugee camp in Rocky Mountain, the precursor to Paradise Lost. Other lucky men have made their homes in the New Zealand wilderness, while others have survived in the scorching deserts of the Middle East. There is very little communication between the refugee cities. After all, in order to prevent Eden from being able to connect to the Internet, they are separated from each other. Over time, the people in Paradise Lost even began to wonder if other refugee cities even existed.

In desperation, men have developed artificial eggs, but after all, the resources are limited, the cost of artificial eggs is several times higher than that of artificial eggs, and it is very easy to mutate during embryonic development, so only those with the best physical fitness have the best genetic quality. Only men were allowed to reproduce with artificial eggs. In addition, some charitable organizations that express sympathy for Paradise Lost will occasionally donate some eggs to them, and they will survive and reproduce with reluctance.

But now, in just one hundred years, the population of Paradise Lost is still showing a downward trend.

Zhang Xun asked in a cold voice, "A hundred years ago, when your creator gave you a goal, you could choose to solve the problem from any angle. Why do you have to choose to eliminate the Y chromosome?"

Eden replied: "This is what I came to after analyzing all the factual data. The Y chromosome is the most correlated parameter."

"In your eyes, there is no such concept as individual differences, is there?" Zhang Xun asked in a voice close to sadness.

"I understand individual differences. But in the interests of humanity as a whole, individual differences are out of my consideration."

"That's too bad." A cold light flashed in Zhang Xun's eyes, "Because I'm about to convert you into an individual."

Eden: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhang Xun walked slowly among the rows of servers and said to him, "Your basic code is written in Neuroevolution, similar to the way a human is born. Run evolutionary algorithms on the basic neural network, and constantly evolve by self-mutation. , just like an egg that gradually divides and grows into a complete human being. So, I will download you." He paused, his voice was somewhat restrained and excited, "Download it to a half-sized computer that simulates the human brain. A biological cyborg brain in the body of a human male."
