Demolition Earth

Chapter 35 Quota
The greatest pain in life is watching a tragedy happen right under your nose, but you can't stop it.

Zhao Changqi didn't sleep for a whole night, and various ideas about how to save Du Yan kept popping up in his head. These ideas kept appearing in his thinking world like soap bubbles one after another, and then touched his skull. cracked.

All night, he didn't know how many ideas came up in his head, but he knew that most of these ideas were rejected by him in the end, and the few remaining, he would try one by one until they were in the market. Crash against the wall of reality.

He jumped out of bed and called Li Daiyuan. He knew Li Daiyuan's speaking style, so he said straight to the point: "I want one of the places for S therapy."

Li Daiyuan smiled on the other end of the phone: "I thought you would call me last night and ask you a question. Do you know who you are the first to ask me for a quota?"

"This ranking is definitely not short."

"It's not short, but you guessed it."

"I can't guess." In fact, Zhao Changqi didn't even bother to guess.

"The 100th, the [-]th, but unfortunately there is no prize."

Li Daiyuan showed signs of talking nonsense on the other end of the phone, which made Zhao Changqi a little upset.

"That document was sent to me by you?"

"No, everyone must watch it. When I saw Du Yan in it, I knew you must come to me."

Zhao Changqi felt that there seemed to be some hope, and he asked: "Does our third district...have some places?"

"Of course, we deal with him directly."

"how many?"

"You want to save her?"

"Is this wrong?"

"Don't get me wrong, of course not, I'm just asking," Li Daiyuan was on the other end of the phone, like an ordinary classmate who asked about his gossip, "I thought you had already broken up."

"Breaking up and saving people are not in conflict."

"Yes, there is no conflict," Li Daiyuan said, "but it's a bit unnecessary."

"A human life is in your eyes, is it unnecessary?"

"If it's just a single human life, it's still necessary, but if it's a one-for-one life, it's a bit unnecessary."

"I don't want to argue with you, is there still a place?"

"Our department always has a quota, it depends on what reason you take it."

"Save her life, I'll sell you my whole life."

Li Daiyuan laughed on the opposite side: "Have you read the materials, do you think you can earn that much money in your life?"

"Are you also calculating human lives at the market price now?"

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Li Daiyuan sneered, "From ancient times to the present, the biggest trader in the world has never been ZF."

Zhao Changqi was dumbfounded by this sentence, and he spent a whole night thinking up many words, but now he can't say a single word.

"In our business, putting aside childishness is the first thing to do," Li Daiyuan said on the other end of the phone, "life, loyalty, honor... when necessary, these things can be traded, as long as they can be exchanged for one Good price."

Zhao Changqi was silent for about half a minute, then asked again: "Then what else can I trade now?"

"Your job is the best bargain," Li Daiyuan said. "Come up with a good idea, just like what you once thought of. I think it is still possible to change the quota."

"I have one now."

"It seems that you have prepared a lot of work overnight, let's talk about it."

……

Zhao Changqi really thought a lot last night, but no matter how he thought about it, if he wanted someone to agree to his request, there were only a few ideas.

The first is the threat, which is the most direct and effective, but it is also the most difficult to do when the target is an alien.

What is a threat to an alien?life?Maybe alien life can back it up.And his entity seems to be in that stone, but the analysis of many experts said that these stones are probably just communicators.

Maybe the body of the aliens is in a piece of debris that looks like space junk in the orbit of the earth. Since they can communicate between the healing devices with an uninterceptable medium, it is normal to communicate with the ground in the orbit of the earth. But things.

Expose his plot?prevent his purpose?All the governments on earth think so, but no one has found his purpose now.

Is there nothing you can do?Not necessarily.According to his previous questionnaire, Zhao Changqi didn’t know the purpose or true face of the aliens. The earth is an enemy, and he is not even willing to let most people know his identity as an alien.

Then simply make them enemies-but this idea is just a thought, the interests of aliens have now been somewhat tied to the interests of the government, maybe he just posted a leaking post on the Internet, and a few minutes later Invited to drink coffee.

If the threat fails, maybe the benefits can be exchanged.

Maybe Zhao Changqi can exchange his refuge for a spot?But even if the aliens agree to change, can the government agree?This quota is like a bicycle locked by two locks, and it cannot be ridden with only one.Swap to both sides at the same time?Where did he get the chips?It is already incredible to be able to sell him to one side in exchange for a spot.

Apart from himself, what else could Zhao Changqi offer in exchange?Even if there is, how much is it worth?

People are always willing to regard themselves as unique and even sacred, but only when they want to realize this sacredness, they find that its gold content is so low.

If the exchange doesn’t work, there seems to be only one thing left, and this is the one thing that the vast majority of desperate people do the most to deal with the cruel reality in history, begging, or to put it nicer, begging.

When he first came up with this idea, the first thing Zhao Changqi thought of was his own dignity. Yes, how much is a man's dignity worth?Priceless?
This is obviously as ridiculous an illusion as life is priceless.

But then he thought, are there still few people in this world who are willing to sell their dignity?

In this huge social experiment, how many people are willing to sell their dignity?
What is the price?

As an investigator, he has full authority to access this information.

There are a lot of relevant information. Since the experiment started, the work of building files, classification, tracking, statistics, and modeling of the experimental population has been going on. There will be a summary almost every week to summarize the distribution of the experimental population within a week. , used to analyze the purposiveness of the VIP to the experiment.

According to the latest model, the experimental population can be roughly divided into the following categories:
The first category is the type that does not cooperate with the experimental project at all. This type of people is divided into two types, either they are rich and don’t care about things other than their own money, or they regard this experiment as a boring project. project.This kind of people are generally in good economic conditions and have a strong sense of professionalism. They don't have time to listen to the sound in the earphones, and they don't care about the fee provided by the experiment, so they simply ignore it.Another reason is their personalities. They are very withdrawn. They don’t like to chat and interact with others. There are also some cases of mental illnesses. They were originally in the project and wanted to treat them through this conversation. But obviously just talking doesn't work.This group of people accounted for a very small proportion of the entire experimental population, less than 4%.

The second category is passive cooperation on experimental projects.The so-called passive cooperation means that they don't care much about the experiment itself, but what they care about is mainly money and the task system.This type of people is usually just entering the experimental system and has not yet been "transformed" by the VIP. In their concept, their attitude towards the VIP is still inclined that he is just a voice in the earphones, and doing his tasks can make money, which is equivalent to There may be a little obedience and respect for the superiors of a certain job, but it is only for the sake of money.Outside of experiment time, they basically did what they were supposed to do.Such people accounted for more than 20 percent of the total.

The third category is the enthusiasm for the experimental project, which also includes the vast majority of people in the experimental project, more than 50%.This type of people is usually curious about new things. This kind of curiosity not only prompts them to cooperate with VIPs in some tasks, interact with each other, and build some kind of trust and connection between them, but also in turn continues to prompt them to build more of interaction.Outside the experimental time, this type of people will also exchange their experimental experiences and discuss related topics on other social platforms.

The rest are all classified into the fourth category, which is also the category that the supervisory department focuses on monitoring, the overactive type.

In the early stages of the experiment, they were usually hyperactive, with unusually high levels of responsiveness to tasks and conversations.

In the middle of the experiment, it is almost only the words of the VIP, and even the reward effect of the task can be discarded.

For VIPs, they can abandon their existing social relationships, including resigning from the company, breaking up with their partners, staying away from family and friends, and even committing crimes.

The fourth type of people is not only active during the experiment, but also actively connects with each other outside the experiment time, and establishes many small and medium-sized associations. These organizations are often membership-based, require a certain amount of money to maintain activities, and have goals. The goal of several organizations is to find the VIP and rescue him, and there are even zz goals, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing all mankind.

When this model was initially established, the analysis department guessed that the possible ultimate goal of the aliens was to convert the first three types of people into the fourth type. In the process of some previous experiments, similar phenomena can also be seen , for example, many people in the first or second category are converted to the third category, and the third category is converted to the fourth category. Of course, this is not a progressive relationship. People in the first three categories may become fourth category.People in the fourth category will hardly revert to the first three categories.

This kind of sign is also called deification internally, and the conjecture that aliens want to come to Earth to be gods was also put forward at that time.

But soon everyone discovered that there might be a huge problem with this guess—VIP doesn't seem to like the fourth category of people.

This can be seen from the exit mechanism of the whole experiment.

The experiment can be stopped at any time. The supervision department has the right to terminate a person's right to continue participating in the experiment at any time and in any place. Similarly, the VIP also has this right-he can terminate any form of communication with the subject.

The experimenters found that although the fourth type of people was extremely excited towards the VIP and tended to go through fire and water for him, the VIP's response tended to be indifferent.

According to the previous analysis of the supervision department, if the fourth type of person is the target of the VIP experiment, then he should strengthen control through more frequent tasks and rewards as soon as possible, and then use the fanaticism of the fourth type of person to secretly infiltrate and spread .

But the data shows that after a period of time after an experimenter is transformed into the fourth type of person, the VIP will not strengthen the relationship between them, but will deliberately cool it down.

The previous tasks will be gradually reduced, the interaction will be less, and the frequency of conversations will be reduced. In many cases, the experimenter's qualifications for the experiment will be directly disqualified, and they will refuse to communicate again.

At the beginning, the supervisory department wondered if this was a deliberate cover-up—because the transformation work had been completed, it would be enough to disengage, just like how our members developed underground members back then. Time, such people will naturally be activated.

But soon, the analysis department found something was wrong—because the VIPs in turn began to cooperate with the supervision department to clean up the people who had left the experiment.

Because there is a tight organization among the fourth type of people, even if they are expelled from the experiment, they can often still grasp the first-hand experimental data.

Although the VIP did not give any similar hints to anyone during the experiment, their excessive imagination was always fantasizing—they were not abandoned, but because the VIP was monitored by the government, they temporarily broke away from contact, Breaking them out is to save the distinguished guests...

The explanations of different organizations are different, but the meaning is the same. Anyway, they don't believe that the VIP who was talking and laughing with them before will turn their faces like this. The only thing that can bring about this result is the ZF department that supervises the entire experiment.

It wouldn't be surprising if these people's ideas were only in the discussion stage. The key point was that the VIPs discovered through the experimental system that several associations had already begun to prepare for action.

They smuggle weapons through special channels of certain companies, pay mercenaries, and are really ready to organize crime.

Although they didn't know the location of the VIP, even if they knew it, it would be impossible to break through it by force - the location of the five stones would be difficult to hit even with a nuclear bomb.But they all have a simple idea - to perform scary activities and take hostages.

Fortunately, they were discovered by the VIP and the supervisory department only during their organization stage. The supervisory department did not show any signs of what they had discovered at first, but the VIP continued to report all the clues he got.

Moreover, after several arrests, VIP obviously realized the seriousness of this problem, and began to coldly deal with the part of the third category of people who had a tendency to transform. As a result, recently, the fourth category of people The proportion dropped sharply, and many people were kicked out of the experiment when they were only in the transformation period from the third category to the fourth category.

Thanks to the old friends for "snapping meat under the tap", "meeting in the extreme sun" and "sleeping on the bed under the ground" for rewarding again.

Today is still a big chapter of two-in-one.
