Pioneering

The sun rises slowly, and the blue light shines on a vibrant morning.

In every corner of the city, polling stations, large and small, are ready.Some are located in school gymnasiums, some in residential centers, and some in public libraries.

These places were decorated with lights and banners early to welcome the Asian, Xia, public and citizens who came to vote.

Yes, since July 9998, 7 in the Asshai calendar, there are no more "commoners", "subjects", and "subjects", only Asshai citizens.

Starting today, everyone has the right to express their voice and participate in the political decision-making process.

As the clock ticks, polling stations gradually welcome more voters.

Old and young, men and women, people of all races and creeds came together and lined up to vote.

Holding their urgently replaced citizen cards, they waited expectantly to enter the polling station.

Although they now only recognize the name of the great Mr. Moston, and only Mr. Moston's Asiatic Liberal Party.

Inside the polling station, voters think carefully and carefully choose the candidates or policies they support.When voters finish casting their votes, their ballots are put into the ballot box. The machine in the box automatically scans the ticket stub and uploads the data to the network in real time.

The golem puppet carefully supervised the entire process, and the entire process was broadcast live on the Internet.

Citizens of Yaxia who are unable to arrive on-site can also obtain ticket stubs after passing identity authentication and vote for their favorite representatives online.

Every ticket can be checked, and the online and offline synchronization method can avoid certain black-box operations to the greatest extent.

Online is the most popular, with 67% of all votes coming from the Internet. Over the past few hundred years, everyone has become accustomed to the company of the Internet. If it were not for the sense of political participation, not many people would come to offline sites to vote.

What's terrible is that the Internet has remained stagnant for hundreds of years.Even if it has been updated to an 18G network before, there is still no essential leap forward without changing the medicine.

"Virtual reality" appears frequently in many science fiction works. Even with extraordinary factors, Yaxia, who is almost at a standstill, has not yet developed it.

Today we announced that we have overcome the big problem of neurosympathy, and tomorrow we announce how much more computing power has been improved, but there is no movement.

Otherwise, after the emergence of virtual reality, Milano would not have to engage in crude "population management" at all, and directly announce to provide permanent free network support to the low-quality population addicted to the virtual world, and then feed large numbers of people who are tempted with "red pills" "If we send bio-generated electricity, wouldn't it be good for you and me and good for everyone?"
Who doesn’t want to be the protagonist of their own world?

Enjoy the red pill.

In the evening, as polling sites closed, people gathered in front of their televisions or turned on live broadcasts on their smartphones, waiting for the election results to be announced.

At this moment, they felt unspeakable nervousness and excitement, which came from a certain alluring sense of participation.

The results were announced soon, and the representatives of the first audition came out.

Mr. Moston, who is now in the limelight, and his representatives from the Asshai Liberal Party are overwhelmingly outnumbered.

However, there are also some alternative individual representatives who have passed the open primary election. These people are all kinds of people. They are either famous and wealthy local people, new stars in the film, television and entertainment industries, and some well-known writers.

Of course, there were also some wizards, warriors, knights and spiritual cultivators who couldn't bear the loneliness and signed up to participate in the election.

In order to prevent supernatural beings with evil intentions from using supernatural power to control voters, offline sites have installed devices that disrupt their minds, and every voter must be near a public location with such devices when voting.

Although strong people who can control a large number of people's minds are relatively rare, it's better to be careful.

Each round is a design of universal suffrage, and there are also factors to be wary of extraordinary people using extraordinary power to charm people's hearts.

Because an extremely powerful person who can control the minds of hundreds of millions of people is not weak among gods. Due to the rejection of the material world, he can only control it in the short term. During the election process for more than half a year, this existence has long been discovered.

When spiritual chaos is controlled, intelligent life cannot produce the power of faith, and gods cannot gain believers through mental control.

It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the unequal electoral rights of candidates with superior economic conditions to candidates with poor economic conditions.

After some quarrels, some people advocated prohibiting the use of material means to lure voters, claiming that otherwise universal suffrage would become a game for the rich. Those who can remain calm in the face of money, in this country that believes in the "God of Wealth", Rare than a giant dragon.

Some advocate the transparency of political donations. After all, you cannot let candidates support themselves and their campaign teams just by talking. Childish prohibition methods only transfer corruption to the secrets. It is better to expose it to the Internet and guide this necessary fund-raising process.

Some people advocate that the state financially supports candidates’ activities, so that certain gray behaviors can be completely eliminated.

The final result is a variant of the second option, which is to make political donations transparent, but requires setting a maximum limit. That is, the political donations that each candidate can legally raise must not only be transparent in receipts and expenditures, but also have a unified maximum limit.

After all, how can a candidate who represents the interests of workers compete with a candidate who represents the interests of factory owners in terms of fund-raising ability?
Moreover, planning income and expenditure within limited funds and living within one's means is a good exercise for candidates' abilities.

Then there is the national convention to further screen the candidates, and finally there is a series of prime ministerial campaign speeches, a step-by-step elimination round, until only one person is left.

It has to be said that the benefits brought by the Internet have brought an interesting variant to Yashai's popular election of prime minister, which is different from Blue Star. After all, the Internet and live broadcast have been made extensive use of from the beginning.

Yashap's democratic election, which looks like a knockout, can only be said to have its own national conditions.

Allowing these politicians to enjoy the cruelty of "Roll" in advance may make them a little gentler towards their fellow citizens.

In the end, it was no surprise that Moston won the title.

New Chang'an, 9999 in the Asian calendar.

A stately new building, the Parliament Building, towers on the banks of the Ziwei River.

This building was expanded and built on the site of the Noble Parliament Building that was previously razed to the ground by Milano. It is also the place where candidates who have passed the "audition" make their most important speeches and campaign and announce their inauguration.

The hall was packed with eager people, who came from all over to witness the new era of Asshai.

In the center of the parliament hall, there is a majestic podium with a bright red velvet flag hanging on it, which reads "Freedom is Coming."

This is the slogan of the Asshai Freedom Party formed by Moston.

Standing on the podium below was a passionate speaker—Mauston Bell Ellman, whose words were passionate and firm.

The speaker was the incoming first prime minister, and he stood there to defend his ideals and guide Asshai in the direction of his ideals.

His voice rang through the hall like a trumpet, conveying a sense of unwavering conviction.

There are all kinds of people in the audience, from nobles to ordinary citizens, and they are at least united and longing for this moment.

After all, Mr. Prime Minister's speech was indeed moving.

But the next moment...

No matter what, Yaxia, which has existed for thousands of years, is about to enter a new era.

The remnants of the old era also... Oh, the ship can still carry them for the time being, but the number of people on this ship has been greatly reduced.

A lot of meat eaters are gone.

It can only be said that Milano deserves Zhong Ming's evaluation of "you are a bit extreme".

The sun's rays pass through the stained glass windows and shine on the floor of the hall, like the rays of freedom.

People looked at each other, and the words of the solemn declaration echoed in their hearts.

In the sky, Zhong Ming watched with interest the appointment ceremony of the new emperor to the prime minister: "Milano, do you think he is optimistic?"

Milano, who was accompanying Zhong Ming, shrugged: "Ancestor, as I said before, the things that turn a country into a hell on earth are precisely those "big men" who always try to turn it into a kingdom of God on earth. "When they experience the hunger and hardship of unemployment, the decline of social security, and the elderly occupying social resources... a series of difficulties, there will definitely be many among them praising and missing me, the 'butcher tyrant'."

Zhong Ming is well aware of the diversity of human beings, so he understands that Milano's prediction is probably right.

Some people still miss ten years...

Human diversity.

Even failed art students can be clamored for spiritual evocation. Milano, a powerful image full of violence and power, a ruler who has created a "materially perfect" environment for society for a long time, can always evoke a lot of valuables. worship.

"Aren't you worried about your son? Look, he has to stand on tiptoes to confer honors on Moston. I'm afraid he will become a rubber stamp in the future." Zhong Ming said.

"Don't worry. After all, you said that future generations will have their own blessings. Don't worry about the future generations who can't remember their names." Mirano looked calm.

Zhong Ming gave him a funny look, knowing that he still had resentment in his heart. After all, when he had the decisive battle with Moston, he had the "Supreme Throne" mecha and captured Mira who was on the cooling-off period of Moston's prophecy ability. No, there is at least a [-]% chance of winning.

This is like pushing the five kills to the highland tower, but the teammates voted four votes to surrender...

'You boy!You don’t worry about future generations, do you?Haha~'

"Milano, I have my own plans. I need a stable Yashai (an Yashai that can help me gain faith quickly). From my height and my scenery, it doesn't matter who rules Yashai (as long as I have faith). The fundamental market has not collapsed).”

"If you continue to be so high-pressure, not only will people's hearts collapse, but their beliefs will collapse, and the economy will collapse. Everything you own will collapse. There is never a plan that can perfectly deal with everything."

"You can beat Moston, you can beat Eston, you can beat Winston...

But can you kill everyone who is dissatisfied with you?
Who will you rule if you really kill them all?What is the point of your rule?
Who will use the resources you free up for your research? "

"Facing a group of enlightened people, a dictatorship cannot last long."

"Of course, I know that you must still have a plan to appease you that has not yet been implemented. Forcing you to suppress it will indeed cause some loss to you."

"Let's see, can this make up for your loss?"

Zhong Ming took out the illusory power "reproduction" obtained from the golden banshee. This illusory power was a treasure condensed by the golden banshee who was at the third level of demigod and one step away from becoming a god.

"This, this is..." Mirano stared at the ball of light in Zhong Ming's hand with wide eyes.

Zhong Ming smiled and said: "Yes, this is illusory authority, a collection of concepts that can only be condensed at the third level of demigods. This is enough to save you thousands of years of effort.

You are very good, I actually admire you very much, you are decisive, ruthless, decisive in killing, good at scientific research... You deserve a higher stage, my dear... great grandson. "

Mirano was so pleasantly surprised that he took the light ball and carefully inhaled it into his body.

There is no need to worry about his ancestors harming him. If he really wants to harm himself, Milano doesn't think Zhong Ming needs to use tricks.

Soon, Milano, who had initially obtained the ownership, looked extremely excited. What the hell is this concept, reproduction? ? ?
To make myself conform to the concept and completely integrate the authority, I also need to open up XP... The more offspring of the new species are reproduced, the more perfect the authority will be?

Isn't this...

When Milano's face was filled with confusion, the inauguration ceremony below came to an end.

When Moston's last syllable fell, a hazy ball of light that could not be seen by ordinary people fell off his body, with a strange halo and fluctuations. It rushed up to the clouds in Zhong Ming's sight and was about to disappear before he saw it.

Zhong Ming became interested and turned into a beam of light, running straight towards the hazy light group and holding it in his hand.

But he saw the ball of light suddenly stop, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, flickering a few times, and passed through Zhong Ming's palm as if it were nothing.

Zhong Ming was shocked and used his supernatural power to trap it, but the result was the same.

Mental power, magic power, and spiritual power were tried one after another. Seeing the hazy light group flying faster and faster, Zhong Ming used the spiritual force field.

The invisible cage finally restrained it.

Only then did Zhong Ming have the opportunity to examine the hazy light group carefully.

The psychic force field has once again achieved extraordinary results.

Zhong Ming attached his mental power to the outside of the invisible stance, and followed the stance into the hazy light group.

"Life simulator?" Zhong Ming was shocked, "This is the source of Moston's 'predictive ability', but why did you abandon him again?"

……

After a long time, Zhong Ming, who had initially imprinted his spirit in the hazy light group, finally understood the origin and essence of this thing.

To put it bluntly, this thing can actually be regarded as a small branch of the concept of fate, or a concept hidden in "computer simulation", which reacts with the world tree.

Its essence is still authority, but it is naturally formed, semi-innate authority, and no one deliberately collects it.

Not illusory authority.

The reason why it appears in Moston is because of his name. In order to commemorate his grandfather, his father gave his grandfather's name to Moston.

And his grandfather happened to be the main person in charge of the Yaxia Internet design and creation project. He was also the theoretical proposer of the magic ternary version of the "Turing Machine" and was known as the "Father of Computers."

When computers and networks became concepts that were recognized by more than one billion people for the first time in history, this authority was already in the gestation stage. If his grandfather had not died early, he might even have a chance to embark on the road to becoming a god.

At worst, he's a demigod.

However, he died long ago, and theoretically this authority should be taken back to the public in Yggdrasil.

but……

Moston's grandfather is also the project leader of the third type of magic perpetual motion machine...

The third type of perpetual motion machine, Blue Star science fiction works try to realize perpetual motion motion by using fictitious physical principles or mysterious energy sources.

This thing has become a practical solution in the Zoya World Tree with magical energy.

The endless magic energy permeating the space is a perfect solution to Yaxia's energy crisis!

However, just when the project was about to succeed, an "accident" happened. There was a big explosion in the experiment, and Moston's grandfather, all the experimental personnel and important data were wiped out on the spot.

The third type of perpetual motion machine experiment failed.

But this failure was not actually his grandfather's fault, but the consciousness of the world tree judged through the long river of destiny that this thing would cause great damage to the material world, so it secretly caused harm.

The behavior of World Tree following certain rules is a violation and must be made up for.

So he lent the power of this "computational simulation" to Moston to help him realize his great achievements and ideals.

Now, Moston is done, and the "Life Simulator" will return to the creation space.

As a result, he was kidnapped halfway by a guy who didn't have martial ethics. (End of chapter)
