Vol 3 Chapter 252: Big Waves in the Information Age

And then ...

With the gradual development of science and technology, the size of 13 cities is getting larger and larger, and the population has reached 10 million. With a large population, if the management cannot keep up, it will inevitably cause chaos between cities, otherwise the crime rate will become higher and higher, and the productivity of the unit population will decrease.

In this case, there must be new management methods.

With the efforts of scientific researchers, the information age represented by the Internet is finally overdue.

The emergence of Internet technology has brought new ways of entertainment, socialization, and management, and the distance between individuals has begun to rapidly shrink. With information technology, even cities with tens of millions of people can be easily managed.

Coupled with the signing of the nuclear destruction treaty, the realization of an overall peace means that cities do not need to remain hostile as before.

There is also more social demand among cities.

However, it is neither safe nor convenient to use the traditional surface transportation methods.

Therefore, after a global conference, the leaders of 13 major cities decided to dig a large tunnel of a global nature deep into the ground to form a global transportation network to promote business and population exchanges!

When talking about this period of history, Gan Yaduo seemed excited and regretful.

"In this case, the entire world, the only democratic government, Gore City, welcomes the biggest opportunity in history!"

"Export of ideology!"

...

An eternal dusk, a fierce wind is blowing outside.

At a depth of 80 meters, a global underground transportation plan is underway for 662 years.

The entire narrow underground passage connects 13 major cities and 24 secondary cities. It can be used not only to place communication cables, but also to install rail trains as intercity transportation. With these means of transport, there is no doubt that trade between cities will be smoother, and there is no need to cross the surface to withstand dangerous typhoons.

When Goer City opened up the last key node, suddenly the entire construction team cheered.

"Connected!"

"China Unicom!"

Workers in different cities are all hugging together excitedly. The long and narrow tunnels do not know how much Glize people sweat.

Now it's finally done!

"Praise technology!"

"praise!"

The meaning of this huge project is very clear to everyone. Without advances in technology and various excavation tools, it would be impossible for them to complete such huge underground projects.

On the same day, the leaders of Goer City held a grand celebration banquet to celebrate the completion of this project.

He even dialed a telecom video on the spot to contact people in other cities. In the past, it was only complicated and troublesome to only use the power transmission method, but now it is different, and cities will be able to communicate extremely simply.

After the celebration ceremony, these high-level officials held another internal meeting.

Attila, a scientist in charge of a large communications project, suddenly came up with a very strange idea. This idea made it excited and hot.

In an internal meeting, it said: "... Ladies and gentlemen, the next era must be the era of information, and we have also determined the direction of development in this area. A small tunnel, a small Cables can change our lives in all directions and expose us to the larger world! "

"And the competition between cities is bound to be fiercer!"

"For example, if a certain product first enters the other's city and seizes the other's market, the other people's people will always use it after they are used to it. This strategy of preempting the market will Our cities are getting richer. "

The members of the lower parliament whispered, and the wise Mr. Atiyah was right.

The opening of the underground tunnel will inevitably mean a lot of commercial transactions.

As the pioneer of the information age, Atiyah has a very high prestige. It is a remarkable achievement to interpret some materials in a universal factory as quickly as possible and transform them into usable industries.

The chief executive nodded and agreed: "Yes, in this era, although an overall peace agreement has been reached, the competition between cities is extremely fierce, and all cities are madly tapping the potential of universal factories and trying to compete with their competitors. Step on your feet. This is not the only thing we want ... "

Many Glitzers quickly formulated a series of strategies that needed to be developed, including the development of various commodities, especially social software.

Social software has a certain monopoly nature in essence. After everyone uses one, the second one and the third one are basically not used.

Atiyah said loudly, "No, no, no, guys, the monopoly of commodities is just one aspect that will allow us to gain wealth."

"Can we ... do something else for this?"

The heatedly debated members of parliament looked up, what exactly did it want to express?

Looking at the confused crowd, Atiyah asked, "I want to ask, have the rest of you ever been to other cities?"

Even though the underground tunnel has been opened, there is still some follow-up work to be done, and the rail train has not yet officially opened. Of course, all of you here are in high positions. Unlike ordinary people, many people have been to other cities.

The chief executive suddenly said, "The world outside is indeed very different from our city."

"The leaders of those cities are governing for life, and they can also raise their children and allow them to inherit this ruling power. Regardless of the child's noble character and ability, he can still obtain supreme power ... ... "

"So, everyone, in this science and technology competition, we will definitely be in a leading position and continue to lead!"

Everyone knew all these things, and they all showed confident smiles. The Glize people who have been to the outer city all feel superior to their Gore city. This is an institutional confidence.

Scientist Attia agrees: "Yes, the outside world is completely dictatorship! I was once fortunate to have been to the neighbouring cities of Nefang and Agara ... living in such cities, even the air seemed cloudy .A stupid and selfish leader can still be a leader, unlike us, who can integrate the wisdom of a group of people. "

"This dictatorship is, after all, a corrupt and dark system that suppresses the nature and creativity of the people."

"And democracy is bright and free ..."

"Can we take the opportunity to do something? It's not just a monopoly on commodities, but a ideological monopoly."

In fact, Goer City is not a seemingly harmonious group with all kinds of dark sides, but each force has constraints, and citizens also have certain political power. It is better than the outside world on the bright side.

"Atiyah, what better way do you have?" The then governor asked.

Atiyah's eyes glowed: "... The advent of the Internet has shortened the distance between the world and made it easier to obtain information. We only need to promote the beauty of our city and make the world long for freedom. Everyone in Ze knows that there is such a paradise! "

It grows louder and louder, "... Let them understand that every citizen should have his own power, not let others take precedence over himself!"

"In this way, we can loosen the political foundations of dictators and dissolve their power! In this way, we even have the possibility of unifying the world!"

The output of this ideology to the outside world, in theory, does have the possibility of causing major changes in the world!

It is a pity that after the enthusiastic Atiyah published his generous submission, he suddenly found that the sitting MP showed an indifferent and indifferent smile.

There was a sudden silence in the entire conference room.

"Her Atiyah, I seriously doubt that you are a spy from an enemy city!" A political enemy said sarcastically: "Your plan is indeed interesting, but where does the security of Gore-City go? "

"Don't think that the leaders of other cities are fools!"

The original 13 cities had their own policies, and even Goer City was nothing different. There is one universal factory in each city. As long as the technological gap is not so different, no one can help.

But now it's different. If Gore City conducts "ideological output", it will become the target of criticism!

Twelve enemies, no matter how bold and talented Gore City is, it will not be possible to be the enemy of the world.

"If the 12 enemies are united, Gol will be finished."

As a result, there is great disagreement among city officials regarding this ideological export plan.

"Her Atiyah, if the system in other cities has also been changed to a democratic system that is as advanced as us, why can our Gore City stand out from the competition?" A member of parliament attacked.

Atiyah was stunned. "Don't we even have that confidence?"

"It's not because we don't have this confidence ... letting the other party decay, we will undoubtedly have less competition."

"What does the outside world do to us? It's no good ... at least not very good."

"No, nothing."

"Too dangerous."

Atiyah argued arrogantly, trembling with energy: "Why not? We can attract a large number of talents in this kind of plan. The talent advantage is not important?"

It suddenly felt that its own city was not as enlightened and advanced as imagined.

"As long as we vigorously develop tourism and improve cultural facilities, we can spontaneously carry out ideological publicity. If such a good opportunity is missed, when can we wait for the next opportunity?"

Which of the Glitz people who can mix in those positions and have power is not really old fritters?

They cannot change their will because of Atiyah's utterance.

Talent?

Save civilization?

What interstellar joke, when does civilization need to be saved?

Is it important to have your own life?

So after this meeting, the plan was not approved, at least not in a big way.

The angry Atiyah did not give up, trying to achieve his goals through his influence. After all, it is a great scientist and has its own connections.

"What is it that has created the illusion that our civilization needs to be saved?" Asked an old Glitzer, who used to be the governor of Gore City, and even after retiring, he remained strong. Network connections.

"I always feel something is wrong, really! Now the sky is full of dark clouds, and the stench of various dictatorships has been going on for too long, too long. We really don't need to do anything about it?"

The governor touched his ear. "Atia, I had this idea when I was young. Going to the cities outside would feel unfair to them."

"However, you must know that the times will always improve, and history will spiral up. We don't want to do anything deliberately. People who walk at the forefront of history always have no good results."

Atiyah questioned: "How can history change if no one does it?"

"From a short-term perspective, the society is getting better and worse, or even getting worse, and returning to the troubled times from the Uprising; but from the perspective of big history, it is getting better and better. More than that, it does not affect its overall rise. The bend in history is the largest, and it cannot change the great historical process of rising from troubled times to peace, and then to peace. "

Atiyaa turned his head in disappointment. The old man was old and no longer had the ambitions of the past. He was unwilling to have more troubles at such times and just wanted to spend his old age.

The so-called spiral history theory has no way to prove whether it is correct or wrong.

In particular, how can history rise if everyone escapes this way?

This precious period of strategy, in hesitation, began to slip away ...

Time passes year after year.

The cables are laid ...

The railroad tracks are laid ...

City trains began to operate.

Commercial trade in various cities has begun to flourish.

Atia's forecast is gradually being realized.

Under the impact of the Internet, with this Goer City as a contrast, the public's consciousness is still gradually awakening.

Some people went on a trip to Gore City and were influenced by culture. When they came back, they started to publish "How sweet the air is outside", "How free is life" and "How round the moon is in Gore City."

Even if the Gore City officials do nothing, the entire city is still spontaneously exporting ideology.

Oligarchy still caused serious dissatisfaction among the people. More and more people are beginning to have political demands and complain about the lack of power.

In particular, the people in the army also started to move and became dissatisfied.

There are also some individuals who, under the influence of culture, began to immigrate to Gore City spontaneously. These immigrants are very high-quality populations ... They took away a lot of wealth belonging to the city itself.

Faced with this natural awakening of the public ideology, the oligarchs began to panic. After all, they did not want to expand their exchanges, and they would have problems of this kind.

But it is no longer realistic to retreat.

Expanding business exchanges, after all, has promoted economic growth and improved people's lives. Sudden retreat will affect the interests of many people, especially many middle-level people rely on this to eat, these groups of guys must riot directly.

No matter how powerful a military group is, it needs a population as the basis.

If the people underneath run away and rebel, the entire political structure will become a source of water and a tree of no roots. No one executes administrative orders. What's the difference between a bare commander and a commander?

As people's minds change, and even the army becomes no longer loyal, the oligarchs start to panic, and sooner or later they will be overthrown by angry people.

In order to solve the problem of ideological invasion, the oligarchs have taken many measures, including but not limited to exerting strong pressure on the culprit, Seoul City; controlling the speech of the people; improving the social welfare of the people, and killing a few corrupt officials Appease the people and so on.

"The most tragic scene happened ..."

When it comes to this history, Gan Yaduo looks extremely sad.

"Under the joint pressure of 12 cities, His Excellency Atiyah was sentenced to death by the officials of Gore City for the crime of anti-civilization and peace."

Zhang Yuan's heart beat again, and he sighed again. The political struggle has always been cruel. From ancient to modern times, even different civilizations are better.

...

A people's court sentenced the scientist for "counter-civilization and peace crimes", including but not limited to the establishment of illegal groups, the publication of inflammatory statements on the Internet, and so on.

It needs to accept the most brutal criminal law electrocution.

"Atia, do you confess your guilt?"

"I confess, I did these things. But I don't confess that I'm guilty ... what is wrong or not? I will judge it later."

This justification is naturally ignored.

The judge solemnly declared its crime.

Attia sat on the electric shock seat and was put on torture, with a calm expression. The people watching from below are cheering loudly, they don't care who was killed. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad officials, as long as they are executed, they will always cheer.

It is about to step into death.

"Oh!"

The current is gradually increasing. The cruelest criminal law naturally guarantees enough pain and sufficient time for punishment. What's more, this time the public execution was also tried to calm the anger of other city rulers.

In just a few seconds, his whole muscles began to twitch, and there was boundless pain all over the province. But this current does not directly cause death.

Suddenly, he screamed, "Civilization of democracy ... civilization of freedom! The seeds of light have been scattered all over the place, and we will surely gain glorious victory!"

The cheers of the people have become even more frantic, and Atiyah has been discredited as a peace-breaking criminal.

In the end, Atiyah ... died.

However, this measure only calmed the anger of the oligarchs, and they will no longer be able to attack Gore.

However, the anger of the people has not been quelled, and various measures have only curbed the symptoms but not the root causes, with little effect.

There was even a stupid person who took the usual brutal rule and aimed his guns at the angry people in his city!

However, this guy naturally has nothing to eat. The mad army quickly defeated itself. The tyrant fell down in the internal melee, and the new ruler took over. He announced a series of welfare measures and gave away many of his own. Interests only quell the anger of some people.

The oligarchs also have a headache. Atiyah is dead, but the spirit has indeed passed down. The information on the Internet is spreading too fast. Anything is blowing and everyone knows immediately.

The public ideology is gradually awakening, knowing what is good and what is bad.

The oligarchs want to maintain true dictatorship, but do not want to fall down. How can we achieve the best of both worlds?

"This was the best time for Gore City to turn the tide, whether it was to provide armed support or expand ideological output. As a result, the leaders at the time chose to be head turtles! They even killed heroes of their own civilization."

When talking about this period of history, from time to time Gan Yaduo showed a feeling of hating iron and steel.

...

Finally, decades and hundreds of years have passed. Among the various confusions, the oligarchs have given up a lot of their own interests, and finally came up with a bold and ridiculous method: the "pacifier" theory!

Since under the oligarchy politics, the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be smoothed, and it is impossible to satisfy the political demands of the people, then ... simply put a "pacifier" on the people and let them shut up!

What is this pacifier?

Simply put, weakening people's beliefs so that they no longer care about social inequities.

Amplify their entertaining sensory experience, occupy spare time, let them indulge in it, and consume extra energy. Let the public think that they are living a fulfilling and happy life.

To put it simpler, that is ...

Vigorously develop the entertainment industry!

The biggest benefit of the entertainment industry is the ability to stabilize the masses and reduce dissatisfaction.

Various new entertainment, including movies, TV, and games, began to relax the original restrictions and began to spread more widely.

These vulgar things, which were originally cast aside by traditional morality, are now opened like a flood, and have started to add fuel to the Internet.

They are not like the old way of entertainment, which requires a certain amount of thinking to be happy, and the more vulgar things are more likely to be widely spread.

For example, a large number of unrealistic TV series, but let them be enjoyable.

For example, **** industry, gambling industry, violent online games ... After the time has passed, time passes, and then slowly forget these gaps and injustices, and honestly do a job that barely meets food and clothing, and no longer make trouble.

Glitzers have limited energy. They have to take a rest for more than ten days in two days of work, let their energy go out, lose their ability to think, and no longer fight for their own power.

In particular, a new game called "Sensory Movies" has become popular. In fact, according to human language, it is an immersive VR device that can obtain a realistic illusion.

All kinds of entertainment that humans have, long-distance appointments and the like, they are all invented.

But the difference is that the human government has at least some control, and there are various moral condemnations. This civilization does not exist. The ruling class spares no effort to promote it vigorously. The people are happy to see it.

At most only some people of insight are calling for criticism, but these solemn voices are quickly drowned out by massive information. No one heard or seen.

However, watching this kind of sensory film for a long time will lead to confusion between virtual and reality, killing the individual's fighting spirit, and it is not clear who he is.

But what about?

The effect of this policy is simply too good!

For the rulers at the top, peace and stability are of paramount importance. Apart from work, the masses of people enjoy entertainment, enjoy a high level of happiness, and their will is gradually being consumed, but it is a great thing.

Time goes by day by year. The wind has just risen in the times, and some people have pressed them back alive. That strategic window period just passed away ...

Atia's so-called light achieved part of it, but in the end it was not fully realized.

The people will never pursue so-called democracy, freedom, equality, etc., nor will they affect the political rights of the oligarchs.

Even the original democratic base camp, Gore City, has been hit by massive vulgar entertainment.

Zhang Yuan opened a book with the life concept of the Glize people at the time.

The first sentence above is: [... making money of course is for consumption, and consumption is for satisfying one's desires. So how to make money becomes the most important question. What is wrong with a citizen who wants to make money in a different way? That's just its personal freedom! 】

[As long as it does not affect other people, you should not be more disciplined. 】

[Happiness is just one desire after another being fulfilled! 】

[A policy, if it can give the most people the greatest happiness, then it is the best policy! 】

Experts one after another jumped out of their own fallacies and talked, and even they thought it was the ultimate truth ...

Even those rulers were brainwashed by their own theory that this world should be like this ...

Money worship and hedonism are getting more and more serious. The only remaining morals have been thrown into the sewers ~ www.readwn.com ~ A long-term indulgence in vulgar entertainment civilization has undoubtedly caused serious damage to the original traditional ideology The level of artistic standards has plummeted, and there are no longer any number of artists and bards who want to travel thousands of miles.

The times are changing, but the revolutionary trend of thought has never come ...

A thousand years have passed.

Ten thousand years have passed ...

There is no eternal rule in the world. The top-level oligarch has replaced several batches due to internal decay, but the dragon-slaying warrior has worked hard to kill the evil dragon just to become a dragon again.

After entering the information age, the Glitz civilization, which has gone through several industrial revolutions, is still hiding underneath this planet.

Only this time, it is more difficult to get out of your planet.

For thousands of years, the world seems to have not changed.
