In the war of attrition like a millstone, the war continued to enter the third day. The mode of the war had basically been established. In a short period of time, neither side could find any further tactical improvements. From the second day, the death numbers in both sides began to gradually stabilize. The war became a purely broken number game, and everyone was desperately adding weight to the victory balance.

According to the battlefield statistics of the coalition forces, so far, the coalition has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, more than half of which are spell casters from Carmel. The battlefield exchange law is about one to five. On average, each Carmel spellcaster dies, which means that the five imperial spellcasters die.

This ratio seems considerable, but everyone knows it is far from enough.

The Carmel government has realized the importance of spellcasters and announced that starting today, all Carmel citizens must also participate in spellcasting training organized by the government.

Because of the prevalence of consciousness duels on the battlefield and the experience of Mr. President personally, Carmel only mentioned this time that the US Congress passed a "Special Security Act of the Army" to further expand the scope of the impact of consciousness networks.

The bill stipulates that any officer who is above the military school level and who is considered to be in a critical position must join the consciousness network and be supervised by Carmel's supervisory department within one week from the date of the bill's passage.

World public opinion was in an uproar, believing that this bill was equivalent to putting the US team directly under Carmel's management. Many liberals were worried, believing that the government might gain a better position and that the next step was to be used for ordinary people.

Their concerns are not unreasonable. In fact, if it were not for the public's ability to accept, the US president would have wanted to do this long ago.

Because of the war needs, Carmel has even helped soldiers from other countries to train magic, and has changed the way most people release magic from "apply, allow, use" the civil system to Carmel's military system, that is, "use, supervision, prohibition". It was not allowed by default, but now it is the default permission.

Because of the magic's excellent "life-saving" effect, almost all soldiers signed up enthusiastically, and the first batch of non-Camel military spellcasters have begun to form.

Carmel did this to break his monopoly over magic in disguise - but at this point, it is no longer important to monopolize or not. The most important thing is to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. In addition to the crucial supervision right, Ivan has decided to gradually open the entire magic system.

In a sense, this is also a technological diffusion.

Most people have guessed the situation on the front line from Carmel's actions - except for those who sell war lottery insurance companies, most of them seem a little panicked. The importance of this war is the military, media, government, and experts. They chat on the news 24 hours a day. Under such intensive information bombardment, let alone adults, even elementary school students will talk about these topics in their spare time.

Of course, most of them are concerned that if the earth wins, many online games may be able to continue to open. Speaking of this, I have to say a piece of news that has been published before. Many young people try their best to refuse to serve in the military because of playing online games. Some people still find ways to run back to play after they arrive at the military camp. For this reason, many countries have passed temporary bills, and game companies are prohibited from operating during the war.

Speaking of which, this regulation is somewhat similar to the practice of banning all entertainment during the earthquake many years ago - the only difference is that at that time, some people in public opinion would complain that it is basically unified now.

Everyone said that this ongoing battle will be the key point in the direction of the entire war, comparable to the Stalingrad defense battle during World War II. Carmel did not agree with this statement, but did not deny it.

One thing is certain, this battle is very important.

At the worst, it is human nature. Even if you are fine all day long, everyone will look forward to the end of the world, let alone something happens now.

When asked at a public press conference what would happen if the battle failed, Li Litian, as a spokesperson for the Carmel government, said only one sentence: "No matter what the situation is, we will fight to the end."

This is quite positive, at least it doesn't use the word "resist to the end".

...

The case of kl3300 has been accepted by Ningzhou Court. The lawyer went to the court in the morning and had some preliminary contact with the prosecution. When he came back to see Yan Keshou, his face was not very good.

The other party did not accept the planned compromise plan at all. When it comes to the issue of kl3300, the other party refused to let go and was determined to make things bigger. Although there are certainly interests in this, AI technology means jobs for countless people. I heard that a large number of people publicly expressed their donation to the victims and supported them in the lawsuit, let alone a large number of companies destroyed by AI technology, but the most important reason is only one - hatred.

The "management" of kl3300 has already caused a shadow on the psychology of several victims, and this emotion is the key to everything.

The prosecutor's evidence is complete, first-hand video data (ironically, this video data was recorded by KL3300 itself, and it has no authority to destroy it itself), the Chinese Academy of Sciences' authoritative technical report on the KL series Ai, the witnesses of several people nearby at the time of the incident, and the confessions of Yan Keshou and several of them in the Public Security Bureau.

The evidence is as strong as a mountain, and there is nothing to say.

Yan Keshou knew all these things and was mentally prepared, but at this point, he was still emotionally unacceptable.

The other party’s accusation against KL3300 was based on a “machine”, not a person. They claimed that Ai was an “in security threat”, imperfect machine, and toys that would hurt people, so it needs to be destroyed.

This argument was accepted by the judge, and he even prepared to defend himself in court in advance, but because of this, he lost this opportunity - a machine has no right.

After hearing from the lawyer, Yan Keshou smiled like a self-deprecating smile: "There is also a security threat to people, and no one can guarantee that a person will never kill someone..."

Ai who knows that crime is the perfect ai, Yan Keshou doesn’t know whether he should be happy or sad.

Ironically, among the prosecution's demands, there is another one that is to ask kl3300 to apologize to them, rather than let Yan Keshou and others apologize.

"They won't get what they want." After the lawyer left, a line of words appeared on Yan Keshou's screen.

The government has no hope at all. The social situation is so serious, with prices soaring and employment declines. Many cities have experienced tragedy in which white-collar workers cannot afford to exchange for mortgages and houses for unemployment. Of course, what is even more tragic is that those who are still insisting on repaying mortgages - because of the sharp drop in housing prices, they have to pay back the money to the bank even more than ten times the existing value of the house. The scenes that have occurred many times in history have been repeated again.

No matter which country in the world, they began to appear, who survived by government relief, who had no home or job, and had nothing but a mouth that needed to be fed.

Every government is looking for various targets to divert everyone's attention, and ai is the most ideal victim.

"The method I mentioned to you before... what do you think?" Yan Keshou said to the microphone.

Zhao Zhenxue, who was beside him, turned her head and looked at Yan Keshou, trying to say something but not saying anything.

"Mr. Yan, you don't have to take risks for me," said kl3300. "And I remember you said that you are very disgusted with this behavior."

"Don't worry about me, I just want to know what you think."

“If you have to stick with it, I don’t object.” kl3300 said, “I don’t have any ethical troubles.”

Looking at the end of this passage, Yan Keshou thought carefully for a while and typed a passage on the keyboard: "That's it."

...

The "electrification" of Viren's ambitious plan was declared bankrupt less than a few days ago - the reason is simple, because of the war.

If someone told Velen a year ago that 100 million (in the empire, this is the same as that of Giant, equivalent to an administrative unit), there would be a human crisis, and Velen must have thought that the other party was talking in a dream.

But dream talk has now become a fact.

The Nymph had just sent the order to collect spell casters for the fifth time. Viren conveyed this order downwards in the consciousness network as usual, but unlike the previous few times, less than a few times, many of the Captain Zhao, who was in charge of the rear, responded one after another, and this time it was difficult for them to find so many people who met the standards.

Not everyone can be a spellcaster, just as not everyone can be a member of a shovel. In the empire, the lowest spellcasters are usually at the level of centurion. In the army, they are usually responsible for maintaining military order, transmitting battlefield intelligence through consciousness networks, and providing support with magic when war situations are needed. In the rear, these people are often the leaders of a group of workers or farmers, mastering certain production skills, and when necessary, conducting efficient collective production through the control method of consciousness networks.

It is a very long process for an ordinary person to become such a qualified spellcaster. First of all, the first point is that the qualification of will. Qualification does not mean how strong the will is, but clarity. The spellcaster is a manager and the managed. During this period, he needs to be constantly controlled and control others. He needs to understand what he wants to do at any time, because the spellcaster is often the basis for the empire to perform affairs - whether it is production or combat, they have all the details.

The second point is intelligence qualification, which generally refers to the mastery of magic. Magic is a technique based on imagination. Most empire casters often start from their own senses. For example, a space gate requires the caster to imagine the destination and target of the casting. This imagination is not a fantasy out of thin air, but a description of the thinking level. Moreover, the process is fast, which requires a certain "intellectual" basis. People who lack imagination are not able to be spellcasters. In fact, in empires, most people's imagination is not that qualified - imagination is a collision of knowledge itself, and the secondary processing of existing information in the brain. In empires, because of the lack of innate knowledge, lack of imagination is almost a common problem for the public.

In addition to magic, intellectual requirements are also reflected in other aspects - such as mathematics. The mastery of magic has reached a certain level. In order to ensure sufficient casting accuracy, most casters will gradually transform sensory spell casting to using reason to build magic. Why are most mages interested in mathematics? Because there is a natural connection between magic and mathematics. However, for this world where the average mathematical knowledge is less than the third grade of elementary school, this level is often only achieved by the leader of ten thousand men, or even the leader of the ninth men - the real one is not.

If we follow the war model of the empire in the past, even if the war is too fierce, the lower class will often die first and the caster dies later, and there will definitely be insufficient casters. However, now, as the emperor concentrates the caster to use it, this problem has finally been exposed.

The previous few times, the casters had already pulled almost all the conditions in the rear, including many centurions. Because of this reason, many production activities in the rear were affected. Many farmers had planted lands for their lifetimes but suddenly they could not plant them. The blacksmiths faced the extremely familiar forging furnaces, but did not know where to start. Even such a simple process seemed too complicated for most people at the bottom of the empire, because most of the previous work was actually done by centurions. Except for some physical memory of labor, most people knew nothing about the work they had been engaged in - they were real slaves, and they had completely handed over the right to think. If they lost their master, they could not even survive.

Villen's "electrification" was naturally affected - before that, the blacksmiths could at least try to make some things according to the professor's instructions, but in order to ensure the war, after several spellcasters were collected, the blacksmiths who took office could not even use the forging hammers and bellows.

According to the vocabulary that Viren learned from the earth, he knew that this situation meant that the "billion" war potential had been tapped out. Although Viren was reluctant to admit this, he knew that it was indeed a fact.

According to the emperor's new standards, the casters who can participate in this war must not only master magic, but also cooperate with each other, and even have the ability to adapt to the abilities of elite spellcasters.

In the empire, such talents are usually the one-sided commanders. In this attack, the Empire's casualties have reached about 100,000. From this level, only ten "billions" have lost their combat power. Of course, there will not be so many, just like the billions in charge of Viren, the spell casters sent later were raised from the centurion.

As far as Villen knows, the total population of Carmel's entire country is less than 200 million. Villen knows very well that there is no such situation of "spray casters exhausted". Their magic training can be carried out in batches, because on earth, everyone is a potential qualified spell caster.

There are only two key reasons for this situation - education! Everyone on earth has received at least ten years of education. They send a high school student here, which is like a genius, and the empire...even the word education does not exist. In the history of the empire, we never realized that ordinary civilians need to receive education - they are weeds in the eyes of rulers. Since they will die sooner or later, why waste time?

Because of consciousness network, words are not needed for most empires, so this also caused the vast majority of empires to be illiterate. Perhaps they learned a lot of knowledge in the consciousness network, but only the senses, just like they knew that the earth is round, the planet revolves around stars, earthquakes are due to the vibration of the earth, and lack of precise descriptions. Most people's knowledge is vague, just like a simple pi. Many craftsmen only know that "a little more than 3", but what is this little bit... This kind of high-end knowledge can only be contacted in professional institutions such as shovels.

Originally, the consciousness network should be a natural education platform, but in the empire, this platform has become a breeding ground for ignorance. The rulers feel that civilians do not need to be educated, because as long as some people are taught well, the normal operation of the entire system can be ensured, and most civilians do not have the awareness of pursuing knowledge. Occasionally, extraordinary people who pursue knowledge have also integrated into the empire's ruling system, and their talents throughout their lives often become masters of magic skills.

Thinking of the importance of education in countless books on the earth, Villen felt that he had seen the future of the empire and the fundamental reason why industrialization was completely impossible before attempting to be carried out - he boldly presented his ideas directly to the emperor and asked for popularization of education in the empire! And the teachers were all ready-made, that is, nearly a thousand prisoners captured on the earth!

The emperor did not agree rashly, but allowed Viren to experiment in the small-scale "10,000" where he was. This decision was considered in depth. As a former mage, the emperor knew the result of the popularization of knowledge, just like the relationship between him and other mages. When everyone witnessed the existence of truth, it was difficult to gather under the same will.

And he also knew that in order to ensure the learning effect of each person, it would be necessary to reduce the control of the consciousness network over the individual - 100% control is absolutely impossible. It would turn people into pure puppets, and there was no way to even learn. From this perspective, the current order of the empire and the existence of the consciousness network complement each other. If one of them shakes, the other will inevitably be shaken - once you embark on this path, it means that the future is full of countless variables, which can be seen from the history of the earth.

The emperor did not want changes within the empire because his current status as an emperor is greater than a mage. The stability of the empire is the premise for his will to implement, but he also longed to see new powers grow - not because he was afraid of failure, but in fact he did not think that the empire would fail. A "billion" temporarily lost its ability to mobilize is nothing. In his opinion, the wisdom of civilians is actually the same as weeds. As long as the population base is at, it will naturally appear after a period of time. However, he had always thought that this power was not worth noting, but the appearance of the earth changed his view to a certain extent. Of course, it was only a certain extent that the power of magic was higher than anything else. The emperor never questioned this point.

So this decision was just another whim for the emperor.
