17. Brave New World
In a humble hospital ward, scrawny patients on beds are breathless. The family sat on the edge of the bed, looking blank.
There was a knock on the half-open door. A middle-aged man wearing a mask stood at the door and asked, "Do you want to sell it?" "With a thick local accent.
The family raised their heads, looked at the middle-aged man with blank eyes, moved their fingers, shook their heads again, and waved their hands to let the man go.
The middle-aged man said: "Really not for sale? Recently, the goods have been very tight, and the price has risen again. ”
The family shook their heads again. The middle-aged man didn't say anything, nodded and left in silence.
The patient on the bed suddenly screamed with all his might: "Sell!" ”
The middle-aged man stopped. The family member turned over, grabbed the patient's hand on the bed and said, "What are you talking about? It's damn! ”
The man on the bed looked into the air and muttered, "How many days do I have to live?" It's a little bit to leave you a little bit ......."
The middle-aged man ignored the weak and powerless obstruction of his family. The long, thicker than normal needle pierced the pale cyan blood vessel, and the dark red blood quickly flowed out of the plastic channel...... The dying man, his skin withered and clinging to the skeleton, closed his eyes, ready for the coming of death......
Little by little, the blood bag swelled. This type of blood bag is larger and more solid than a regular blood bag, and is obviously used repeatedly.
…… He began to have convulsions and convulsions. The family members wept. The middle-aged man wearing a mask held her down, "muscle ischemic twitching, normal reaction." Someone passed by outside the room, glanced inside, and walked away.
……
All the avatars in the square watched with bated breath.
The video is obviously taken candidly, with a poor viewing angle, shaky, and blurry. However, it is still clear to see the whole process of that individual's blood being completely drained. Cruel and true.
There are many Avatars who have their eyes covered. However, there is a hoarse voice between the eyebrows in the video, accompanied by subtitles flashing in the sky, reading the numbers one by one:
“…… In the past 19 years, the company has found more than 24,000 people who are similar to dying patients, vagrants, and mental disorders, and collected more than 100 tons of whole blood, equivalent to one-fortieth of the total amount of regular blood collection in the country......
"These more than 100 tons of plasma, without formal virus and bacterial detection and inactivation treatment, were quickly produced into various blood products including human blood albumin, rabies vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, human coagulation factors, etc., and were injected into the patient's body. Among the more than 24,000 blood donors, a high proportion of people with HIV, hepatitis B and other viruses cannot be ruled out......"
The Avatars gathered in the square were panicked and angry. Nowadays, all kinds of biological vaccines are widely used, but out of trust in medical institutions, who cares about the brand and source of those vaccines? Who knows if they have ever been injected with the vaccine of "Ruixue Changsheng", and whether their relatives and friends have used the blood products produced by the "Ruixue Changsheng" company when they are sick!
Fang Chi was also surprised in his heart. She also used blood products. At that time, after the craniotomy, his body was extremely weak, and he was given intravenous infusion of human blood albumin. But that is the formal way of the hospital, and it will not be a black medicine like "Rui Blood Changsheng".
"Have you ever beaten it?"
"I've beaten rabid dogs."
"Then don't go check it out! Who knows if you're getting this brand of vaccine?! ”
"I just got vaccinated against hepatitis B!"
"Oh my God, my dad has to get clotting factors every week! Last time, I heard him say that someone in the patient group pushed this brand of cheap medicine, I don't know if he bought it! ”
One by one, the Avatars vanished in an instant—they exited Maandala, presumably to go for a check-up or to inform the people around them. And the Avatars who remained in the square began to cry out angrily-
"Those people deserve to go to jail! Shot! ”
"Hasn't the state always cared about?! Where is the factory of this company! Where are the sales agencies! All should be banned immediately! All these drugs on the market are destroyed! ”
"The ruler between the eyebrows! Tell us more information! We need to save ourselves! Rise up! ”
"Ruler between the eyebrows!"
"Ruler between the eyebrows!"
"Ruler between the eyebrows!"
The noisy sound, accompanied by more and more people calling, became uniform, like a majestic air wave, overwhelming the mountains and the sea, roaring endlessly!
Fang Chi adjusted the volume of the real-time dialogue system and asked Reboot, "How are the bugs in your system fixed?" ”
"No!"
Reboot could be heard to be in a state of burnout, and there was a dense raindrop of keyboard tapping around him—they must have concentrated all the programmers' efforts to fix the bug and defend against the invasion of the eyebrow ruler.
"The glabrow ruler takes advantage of a very early system bug! This bug is buried so deep that no one has found it before! Now the old programmers of Maandala are almost gone, and those of us who are new to the program have not participated in the programming of that time, it is not so easy to fix! We've all asked Teng Hua to intervene! ”
Anyone who knows how to program knows that although Maandala is a god-level virtual reality product, for a long time in the early days, Teng Hua wrote it alone.
Teng Hua is a genius programmer, and genius programmers often have their maverick style! He never wrote code in a regular way, but all kinds of sideways and obliques, and the internal business logic seemed extremely chaotic to outsiders, and only he and his early team could understand it.
What's even more terrifying is that in order to prevent future users from decompiling the code, Teng Hua modified the default settings of the Maandala system, and also did something that made many programmers feel very disgusting later! ――When compiling the code, Teng Hua obfuscated the code that should be obvious! Confusing code in programming is equivalent to developing another language!
This is a pain for the later programmers of Reboot. If you want to fix a bug that existed in the earliest zài, it may not be possible to fix it after a lot of effort. It's no wonder they applied for Teng Hua's intervention.
However, according to media reports, Teng Hua has recently been conducting field trips in areas not covered by the network in Africa, and cooperating with large foreign network companies on new projects for the development of networks in poor areas.
If you want to contact him immediately to fix the vulnerability, I'm afraid it's troublesome.
Fang Chitongguò Lacrimosa's eyes looked at the vast sky, and the big eyes between his eyebrows were still flickering, like two huge black holes, awakening people's fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"The ruler between the eyebrows! You are righteous! ”
In the dense colony of Avatars, such a shout suddenly erupted.
"The ruler between the eyebrows! You are righteous! ”
More Avatars shouted. Eye-catching banners, flags, and ...... began to appear In normal times, it is rare for such a large gathering to occur in Maandala. Except for a few entertainment stars, few people have such appeal. There will be a very strict and public evaluation system in Maandala, and when the evaluation system determines that a large gathering is a public safety hazard, the security system will automatically interfere and evacuate the avatar.
But now no one can stop the glabellar ruler - who can remove the glabellar ruler in mid-air!
He seemed to be in deep thought.
The sound on the ground was higher and higher.
Three minutes later, the face of the ruler between the eyebrows disappeared from the sky. The face of the ruler between the eyebrows in the qiē electronic advertising screen is hidden. Instead, there are four big black characters-
I will return
The glabellar ruler is completely gone. Disappeared without a trace as in the past. Still left a signature:
【…… Yu Haoge was cold when he was feverish; And he saw the abyss in the heavens. In the eyes of a qiē, he sees nothing; Saved in hopelessness. 】
The Avatars recited this sentence as if they were reciting religious prayers, and the pious scene made Fang Chi feel as if he was attending a church service.
A qiē returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Maandala has never been invaded, and none of the Avatars have seen the glabrow rulers that populate all corners of the world.
The Avatars left the square like a tidal wave of retreat.
Standing in the middle of the square, Lacrimosa saw the gray doves, which had been scattered before, flying back and wandering leisurely in the vast and empty square.
At this time, the air is very humid, as if the sky is bright after rain, and the ground is covered with a light white mist.
Maandala is a beautiful new world.
But is it really beautiful?
Fang Chi remembered Guest.
The years when she studied at Yan University were when Guest was very active as one of the Three Musketeers.
In 14 years, Maandala was officially born. In the 15th year, in response to a series of increasingly stringent cyber security problems brought about by the birth of Maandala, the Cyber Security Bureau was established.
It is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Cyber Security Bureau, Shi Zhengrong, the director of the Bureau, and others fully invited guests to join the Cyber Security Bureau. However, at that time, the guest clearly refused.
The reason is that he wants to be a free man.
Such an attitude was the same as that of Sin, who had previously refused to cooperate with the authorities, and countless people were impressed at the time. As Maandala said: freedom is the only rule. Guest said he was going to be a free man.
Fang Chi also understands the underlying meaning behind that: to enter the Cyber Security Bureau, you will be bound by national interests, national politics, national rules, etc. Do something, don't do something.
The white hat hacker itself is a kind of existence that is both good and evil, and it presides over justice, but it also breaks the rules. Do something, do anything.
At that time, Guest was as sharp as an iron thorn, which could pierce the hearts of everyone and every system.
But then, Guest changed. More and more low-key, lower and lower, with the light and dust, with the time Shu roll.
That day, Reboot sued her that he saw Guest go online and left a message at the Food and Drug Administration saying that "Ruixue Changsheng" had illegally collected blood, and the blood products produced had not gone through formal procedures, and it was likely to contain viruses, and requested the Food and Drug Administration to investigate.
As we all know, the Food and Drug Administration, a national-level authoritative department, requires a certain period from investigation and evidence collection to making a judgment and then to the implementation of law enforcement agencies. This kind of "certain cycle" is often a few months, or even a year.
So, is that something that guests would do in the past? In the past, the guests were like today's eyebrows, there was injustice in their eyes, and they were immediately as excited as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves.
But why did the ruler between the eyebrows choose the case of "Rui Blood Immortality" this time?
Could it be that the ruler between the eyebrows is actually a guest? Did he choose such an extreme move when he was waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration? He couldn't stand up to the slow administrative process, and couldn't sit back and watch the illegal blood products of "Rui Blood Immortal" hurt more people, so he hacked into Maandala's virtual electronic display system and environmental simulation system, so that this information could reach the largest range of people in the shortest possible time?
She was thinking in the square when Reboot's hurried voice rang in her ears:
"しと is online! Check it out! ”
Lacrimosa's eyes twitched.
