Chapter 690: Plague Inc. Reality Edition
Rust and dust trickled down, rusty doorshafts made a screeching sound, and it didn't come to an end until the sound of "duang" metal clashing.
"I'm really crazy, I ran to the roof of the building with you in the middle of winter!"
"Anla, Anla, you have to believe in the tent king's windproof ability," Atletico said casually, and quickly hung the fixed iron rope on the iron door on the iron hook on the outer wall, so that he would not be afraid of being locked on the rooftop by the wind and becoming stupid.
Finally he bent down to pick up the bags that had been placed on the steps of the stairs, and walked through the narrow doorway to the sunny outside again.
"How's it going, isn't it clean?"
The cleaners who make cameos in the north wind, which is common in northern winter, are quite dutiful, and the dust and garbage in most places on the rooftop are blown away by it, and as for some of the dead leaves that are rolling endlessly in the invisible corners and making rattling sounds, everyone still doesn't see them.
Coming to an open space between solar water heaters, Atletico laid out the floor mat, took out the quick-opening tent and threw it to open it.
Although the cement floor of the roof has been ravaged by wind, frost, rain and snow and ants, and the surface has many cracks and has to be filled with asphalt to plug the leakage, it is not a windproof ground nail that can be lightly inserted. But this is not difficult for Boss Ma, who specially chose around those water heaters, doesn't he just want to find them to pull?
Anyway, the two of them didn't plan to camp on the top of this rooftop, and it was enough to have a tent to block the wind, so many necessary steps could be omitted, which greatly improved the speed of construction.
"Horn!" the can tab was removed and then tossed on the ground with a jingling sound, and the two beer cans collided together, "Cheers!"
However, no one toasted, they were all hurriedly put down after a sip.
Bring beer up, just because the situation of such an occasion as the rooftop Wangyuan is most suitable for beer, and it is canned beer, and other drinks, whether it is red wine, cola, juice, or pure water milk tea, do not match the style of the rooftop.
But this cold taste is enough in one bite, just like a glance in the wind is enough.
Before their hairstyles were blown by the wind, the two men had finished looking in all directions and burrowed into the tent next to them at a speed no slower than a 100-meter sprint.
Although there were no sleeping bags or stoves inside, getting into the tent that blocked the wind and sitting on the thick velvet cushions still made Wei Wei feel great.
Lying down comfortably and looking at the sky, Lao Wei said: "The treasure of the wild donkey outdoor town store feels different!"
Wild Donkey is the first professional outdoor store in the county, and the scale, fame and service are among the best in the county, and this imported four-person tent is the one they received the call to deliver to your door.
"Since you like it so much, I'll leave the work of collecting the tent to you!" Atletico also lay on the mat, reaching out to pull the plastic bag containing the food between the two of them.
He took out the same kind of food and put it between the two of them, including fried chicken, French fries, duck neck, dim sum, and all kinds of dried fruits and fruits.
The two men who temporarily escaped from their wives and children just lay in the tent on the rooftop, watching the white clouds scattered in the skylight, while eating all kinds of fried food.
"The school has changed so much, if it weren't for the road in front of me and the river, I wouldn't have recognized it," Atletico sighed.
"Seeing such a scene, do you feel very proud and proud of the person behind the scenes?" Wei Wei let go of the biting duck neck and asked.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Atletico Madrid is the driving force behind the scenes, if it were not for his question system and the large amount of cash invested in the previous years, the second high school would not have changed as drastically as it is now: standing on the family building and looking around, Atletico Madrid found that the former bungalow dormitory, the two-story teaching building and the old office building were all gone, and the original site was either a flowerbed square or a taller multi-storey building or even a small high-rise, and there was hardly the slightest shadow of the original campus.
But when he heard Wei Wei say this, he just sighed, and just pinched the pine nut shell with a click.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this," Wei Wei took out a tissue and wiped his hands and face, sat up and looked at Atletico Madrid: "Boss Ma, are you not afraid of destroying China-Pakistan relations if you do such a smear advertisement?" Are you worthy of the 8 goals of the men's football team?"
Of course, this Pakistan does not refer to Pakistan, Palestine, Bahrain, but to Brazil, a powerful South American country. A few years ago, in order to help Brazilians test the World Cup venue, the national football team flew nearly 30 hours to Recife, Brazil, on the other side of the world, and then let the Brazilian team play a good game, making outstanding contributions to China-Brazil friendship.
According to some jokers, the men's national football team is actually a friendly visiting group directly under the management of the Football Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and its mission is to promote good-neighborliness and friendship with other countries and regions.
This time, however, the bees jumped out and dragged their feet, and in the ad Wei Wei mentioned, a large number of negative Brazilian news appeared on the screen as a background. On the general SD TV, these small words are not clear at all, but on the high-definition large-screen TV that Wei Wei gave to his parents, the IPTV transmitted by the network in high definition presents it vividly.
"Can this be blamed on us?" Atletico also sat up and sat cross-legged on the mat, "Old Wei, you should also know that EP is just news aggregation software, we don't produce news, we are just porters of reports." Those negative news are not collected and edited by us, but are all reported by the major media themselves?"
The full name of EP is "Earthpedia", where the Pedia part comes from the CCLOPEDIA (encyclopedia). This is a unique style, global news client, it has a 3D interface similar to Google Earth, users can toggle the virtual globe to switch to different areas, view the latest news events and related background information in the place, known as "Encyclopedia of the Earth, Play the Earth Online".
&nbsbsbsbse is such a legendary super online game, it has 100% absolute realism, 7 billion people super large-scale, maintenance-free long-term online, super pinching system, one person, one number to eliminate multiple openings, ultra-real one-life gameplay and other dazzling highlights. Of course, a little thought will make you understand that these highlights are actually gamified representations of our real life, expressing the gamer's outlook on life.
Then, just like Double 11 Singles' Day became Alibaba's online shopping festival, Bee borrowed the concept of "Earth OL" co-created by netizens very unscrupulously to promote their "Earth Encyclopedia".
As a technology company involved in a wide range of activities, Bee has the best game technology among map service providers, their search engine is the best among game manufacturers, and their machine translation effect is the most accurate among Internet companies.
In addition to being loved by international news followers, geography enthusiasts, and travel enthusiasts, the software's detailed earth model has also been widely used by many domestic media, including Yang Aunt, which has led to a large number of lawsuits, further boosting its popularity.
"But seriously," Wei Wei said seriously: "I don't think your name is very good now, although the software has a lot of geographical knowledge in it, but the core function is still news, why not call it 'Earth News'?"
"No, Earthnes has already been registered abroad, and if you call these names, you have to fight a lawsuit. We have thought about the Earth Messenger service, but this is obviously unrealistic. You must know that in order to compete for the bee trademark, it cost a lot of lawyers' fees, and this time it will naturally not repeat the mistakes of the past. It's almost meaningful, but it's original and risk-free. ”
"Messenger service, earthmes color nger color s?hehe, I think this name is good, don't you just do it, I'm afraid of him mailing hair?"
"There is also a Universal Postal Union on the post, and if they provoke them, they will really take the lawsuit to the United Nations. ”
"That's true," Wei Wei said with a smile, while stuffing a few peeled Brazilian pine nuts into his mouth, "Seriously, this year's Olympics are really so tragic?"
"Tragedy can't actually be talked about, those things are just small troubles, after all, there is a way to have more money, and there is a way to have less money, in 84 Los Angeles 546 million to get the Olympics and earn 200 million, Brazil spent more than 10 billion dollars this time is enough. ”
After successfully hosting the 20th World Cup in 14 years, Brazilians are about to host the 31st Summer Olympics this year, but unlike the last World Cup, this Rio Olympics is off to a bad start, with delays in investment delaying the construction of venues, and many venues that have not been completed in the 200-day countdown.
The Zikavir virus, which began in South America six months ago, has infected 1.5 million people in Brazil alone and caused thousands of newborns to suffer from microcephaly, which is likely to affect future mental development. At present, a number of countries have issued risk warnings to South America, warning women who are preparing to become pregnant not to travel, and many countries in the Americas have been forced to call on their women to postpone their birth plans.
"By the way, what is that Zika virus really so bad? Do you go to Brazil in the summer?"
"I haven't been to London for 12 years, so why go to Rio this time?" Atletico shook his head: "If the bees become Olympic sponsors, I'll go back, after all, partners have to take care of each other's business." ”
"As for the virus, you've played Plague Inc., right?"
Seeing the other party nodding, he immediately pursed his lips and squinted his eyes, and said with disdain: "Think about the game strategy, you will know that it is difficult to spread with high lethality, and it is easy to spread with low lethal diseases." ”
At that time, the popular mobile game "Plague Inc. (C.)" had a very different gameplay, players had to play as an exterminator who cultivated the source of an infectious disease, trying to kill humanity all over the world with infectious diseases.
Although the subject matter is a little sinister, the game itself can be somewhat educational, allowing players to unconsciously learn all kinds of knowledge about fighting infectious diseases.
In this game, players must design a disease with a low lethality and high contagion rate if they want to beat the level efficiently, and wait until there are enough infected people to increase the lethality rate to give humanity the final blow.
If the high lethality rate is shown at the beginning, the game will easily fail, first, the high lethality will kill a large number of carriers, objectively hindering the further spread of the disease, and at the same time, a large number of death cases are also easy to arouse the vigilance of the political axe of various countries, and will more actively mobilize various resources to fight the disease.
Zika and Ebola, which have become popular in recent years, are typical manifestations of these two strategies. Ebola has a very high fatality rate but is unlikely to become a pandemic, infecting only a few thousand people since its discovery in the 70s, and then killing most of them.
The fatality rate of Zika is very low, and the harm caused by infection is only low-grade fever, pain, itchy skin, etc., which basically does not affect life, and there are no too conspicuous symptoms, and the infection also relies on Aedes tropics, which leads to a lack of vigilance against it. Had it not been for the sudden 25-fold spike in neonatal microcephaly in Brazil and the detection of Zika virus in stillborn babies and mothers of sick babies, people would still not have realized the dangers of the virus and launched another large-scale mosquito eradication campaign.
Although it is not 100% certain that the culprit is responsible, Zika is the most likely one, after all, it is a matter of the next generation, and it is impossible not to be nervous and afraid. In particular, a group of golf players with high income and good image do not even plan to go to the Olympics in the face of the Zika epidemic in Brazil.
This Olympic Games is the first time that golf has returned to the Olympic family after a lapse of 112 years, and as a result, several of the world's top golf stars have excused Zika to break the contract, and it is also the face of the International Olympic Committee.
In fact, it is the male masters who do not go to the appointment, they have professional competitions with higher prize money, and naturally they do not look down on top amateur competitions such as the Olympics. On the contrary, female masters who are more likely to be affected by Zika have said that they will go as promised, which is also because the women's golf event is not as developed as women's tennis, and it is impossible not to go.
Of course, no matter how angry the Olympic Committee is and wants to take out golf, it will have to wait until 2024 at the earliest, because the competition items of the next Tokyo Olympics have already been determined so that the organizers can build venues, and it is not good to change the fortune temporarily.
"Shhhh
"Your brain is really big!" Atletico squinted his eyes in disagreement, "You can only say this in China, God is used to being a back-handed man." If you say so, be careful that people burn you!"
