Chapter 889 Press Conference (3)
The reporter was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
But his mind was soon awakened again under the urging of interests, and he quickly grasped the problem in Yang Sikang's words just now.
"You do have the freedom to make your own choices, but isn't that irresponsible to others? You have obtained information, design plans, and even drawings and design concepts from our Royal Family, and all we hope is that you will share part of your results.
As the common enemy we face is getting stronger, I think you can get greater improvements by giving the relevant technology to more people to study together. This is a foreseeable objective fact. After all, you are just one person, and there are tens of thousands of commanders in the world. "
"Who are you referring to when you say 'we' and our common enemy?"
Yang Sikang did not answer his question, but asked a strange question in return.
The reporter wanted to answer immediately, but Yang Sikang once again did not give him a chance and spoke first:
"First of all, I can confirm that the 'we' you mentioned does not include me and the Royal Navy's ship girls present here. Because we are currently in a practical cooperative relationship and have already achieved several cooperative results. So, who do you mean by 'we', and who is the enemy?"
"I……"
"Of course, we can ignore this issue and focus on the core content, such as why I am unwilling to share the technology and methods."
The reporter opened his mouth and nodded silently.
He felt something was wrong. This man's reaction and response were totally different from a normal press conference interview.
"There are many reasons why I don't want to share this. If I have to pick the most objective reason, I would tell you this: because you can't learn it."
He sighed and looked at the reporter seriously:
"Excuse me, reporter, do you like reading books?"
"Of course, I like to read some philosophy books."
The reporter said this against his will.
"Okay, then can you write a book of the same quality as the ones you read?"
The reporter was stunned and replied:
"Of course not possible."
"why?"
"because……"
"Because of accumulation, because of literary literacy, because of creative ability, and because of the richness of personal experience..." Yang Sikang answered for him.
"Then let's change the question. May I ask this reporter, do you have a cell phone?"
"Of course."
"So, can you make a new phone? I mean, can you use your own abilities to make a phone with the same performance?"
"Of course that's impossible!"
The reporter replied in disbelief.
"Yes, it's impossible. Because using it is much easier than making it, isn't it?"
The reporter nodded helplessly. He had no room for rebuttal to this question.
Yang Sikang smiled:
"A few years ago, I completed the modification and strengthening of the ship's equipment, which significantly enhanced the effect of the ship's equipment. In addition, this technology has been continuously updated in the past few years. As a result, the ship's equipment of my fleet's ship girls is much stronger than a few years ago. Do you know about this?"
"Yes, I know very well."
"So, this technology was already finished a few years ago and handed over to the research institutes of each camp, including the Royal Family. Did you know this?"
"I know, I know."
He also couldn't refute this question, because if he did, it would contrast with his understanding of the technology that Yang Sikang currently possessed, making it seem like he came here just to cause trouble.
Although this was indeed the case, he would never admit it.
"I think even people who don't understand technology at all can understand the technological gap between ship modification and ship manufacturing based on some plans. Although it's cruel, the fact is that no faction can keep up with me in terms of ship modification, so I don't think it makes sense to share the technology I have now.
Your proposal is like saying to a baby: Although you haven't learned how to stand up and walk yet, why don't you just learn the 100-meter hurdles? "
Several other reporters laughed inadvertently. Yang Sikang also smiled slightly and then said:
"I think we should at least acknowledge one fact. When it comes to ship girls, whether it's the Royal Family, the White Eagles, or any other faction, they are really like babies right now. This doesn't mean they are useless, but it means they have great prospects and a broad future. A baby has a lot of room for growth, but before he grows up, someone has to stand up and shield him from some fatal damage. And it is these ship girls who are standing in front of you and shielding you from the damage."
As soon as Yang Sikang said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The smile on his face slowly faded and he looked at the reporter seriously.
"They are not as leisurely as you are. They need to keep training every day, participate in exercises regularly, update their ship equipment and participate in actual battles. The Siren is getting stronger, and the pressure on the frontline ports is increasing day by day. They have a lot of work to do, and all of this is to make you safer."
"Yes, yes, I am aware of that and appreciate their contribution. But that is not relevant to what we are discussing here, is it?"
"Why would it not matter?"
Yang Sikang asked back:
"Excuse me, after the ship suit is modified, does it need to be used by the ship girl?"
"Of course."
"Excuse me, does ship modification require the shipgirl to bear the risk?"
"I don't know..."
"Excuse me, does it cost resources to build a ship whose prototype does not exist in history?"
"..."
The reporter didn't know how to answer, and Yang Sikang said:
"Of course it is necessary, and it requires a lot of resources. I can say frankly that since I became the commander, the amount of materials and mind cubes I have spent on research is dozens of times more than what I have spent on construction. Any research is difficult and costly, and the risks of failure are equally huge.
You are right, I am just a commander, and there are thousands of commanders in the world. But in other words, there are thousands of commanders in the world, but there is only one me.
Since there are some things that only I can do now, why don't I keep moving forward instead of stopping and waiting for others to catch up with me?
Are the Sirens not a strong enough threat, or are the monsters that nearly infected and eroded our world not dangerous enough?
Our enemies are getting stronger, and they won’t stop and wait for all of us to develop together and master sufficiently advanced technologies. Someone has to stand up and block their blades.”
Yang Sikang raised his head slightly, and his voice became deeper:
"Of course, I can also share what I know as you said, regardless of whether others can learn and master it, but how can this help us? Technology that cannot be mastered cannot enhance our power against the Sirens, and technology that cannot be transformed into combat power means it is worthless in battle. I think most people should be able to understand the consequences of spending resources and energy on epoch-making technology that cannot be mastered now instead of focusing on improvements that are within reach."
He stared at the reporter and said solemnly:
"Now, please answer my previous question: Who are you referring to when you say we and the enemy?"
