Chapter 55: The Storm
The live broadcast is over, through the live broadcast and broadcast of various online platforms, not to mention, now Lu Xiaoqi really has a bit of a "national hero" flavor.
Thanks to the rapid spread of the Internet today, almost overnight, not only in the United States, North America, but also in almost all English-speaking cultural circles, Cyborg Man has become completely popular.
At the same time, the "Steelwatcher" website became popular, and overnight, the traffic of the website skyrocketed, and the team responsible for the membership assessment was all tired and paralyzed.
In the United States, whether it is a child or an adult, super heroes are their fairy tales.
Now, this fairy tale has become a reality and officially appeared in front of everyone in such an "entertaining" way, no different from Snow White and the dwarfs appearing on the streets, the frog prince jumping on the table, and the mermaid swimming to the beach!
And the United States, as an exporter of "superhero culture", has taken the opportunity to hype up and expand its influence.
There are even big-name Hollywood directors shouting in the air, hoping to get Lu Xiaoqi's authorization, and they want to shoot movies based on him......
………………
So, in addition to making Lu Xiaoqi's popularity explode again, what other benefits did this episode bring him?
First of all, he has a group of die-hard fans, such as the "Watchmen", and their number is increasing dramatically;
Secondly, with the increase in popularity of his "faith space" and the spread of his "heroic deeds", the number of "believers" has skyrocketed, resulting in the belief "golden thread" of the entire "faith space" like countless cobwebs superimposed, intertwined, and the original "golden rope" as thick as hemp rope has become like a knotted golden python, and the "golden python" winds into the mysterious "black coffin" space, pulling out more than half of the coffin lid of the black coffin!
When Lu Xiaoqi entered the black coffin space again, the black mist in the black coffin was steaming, and it seemed that something was about to come out, he wanted to take a closer look, but he was repelled by a mysterious force and couldn't get closer.
On the contrary, it was the long-dormant chain in his hand, like a top foodie encountering food, rushing into the black mist, like a real anaconda, churning in the black mist!
Lu Xiaoqi knew that as long as the "believers" provided more power of faith, the black coffin would be completely opened.
He knew it was sooner or later, though he didn't know what would happen after the "coffin was opened" and what it meant.
……………………
Not everyone will worship Lu Xiaoqi, so not everyone will praise him.
On the second day after the show, a large wave of Internet water armies poured out of nowhere, as long as there are keywords "Steel Bone Man" or "Lu Xiaoqi", they will appear!
Didn't Lu Xiaoqi's fans set up a "Watcher of Steel" website, and they came to a "Super Human Alliance", thinking that Lu Xiaoqi should be imprisoned to prevent him from suddenly going crazy or thinking radically, causing a catastrophe to society.
As for the basis for this judgment, it is only a safe plan to "prevent such a possibility" and to come up with a safe plan in order to be foolproof.
If they can express it in Mandarin, it will be even simpler, three words - [unnecessary]!
As a hegemonic country, this kind of aggressive logic has long been prevalent in the United States and has a very marketable market.
Soon, this "anti-superhuman alliance" was supported by a group of old-school forces in the United States led by the Rifle Association! They believe that America is free, safe, that every citizen can legally own a gun, and that they don't need any superhero to protect them — that people can protect themselves.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaoqi, a monster whose power far exceeds that of ordinary people, is an unstable element that may lead to social turmoil, and must be banned!
Under the leadership of the National Rifle Association, the relevant government departments were also forced to vote on legislation!
What kind of law is enacted? "Superhuman Management Method"!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a law for Lu Xiaoqi alone!
Why?
The American Rifle Association can influence all elections in the United States, from the president to the mayor! Just by virtue of the Rifle Association, it can influence the appointment of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States! The Rifle Association alone can weaken a number of security laws, including the U.S. Gun Control Agreement!
This has always been a country of capital, and the so-called "democracy and freedom" are just relative.
Therefore, some non-US allied countries in the world began to look at the jokes of the United States -- on the one hand, the United States of America packaged Lu Xiaoqi as the "American spirit" and carried out heroic propaganda, while on the other hand, the undercurrents in the country were surging, and a group of old conservative bones gathered together to stir up the storm, as if they wanted to give this super hero a little color!
Truth be told, this kind of "imperialist joke" can only be seen in the United States today.
Most of the allies of the United States are surprised, as one of the largest forces in the United States, there is no need for the Rifle Association to make such a big move!
……………………
Until Lu Xiaoqi's holiday ended and he entered Brookhaven National Laboratory, the incident was still fermenting.
On the one hand, members of the US Congress, the House of Representatives, and the Senate with rifle association backgrounds put forward a bill on controlling Lu Xiaoqi, and the committee "smoothly" passed the deliberation process, and will soon enter the voting process of the whole house.
On the other hand, the media exposed the legislative process, and such a "god-speed" deliberation process is simply child's play! Although it does not violate the U.S. Constitution, everything is done according to the legal process, but a discerning person can see at a glance that this is a bit excessive.
So, on the first day that Lu Xiaoqi entered the laboratory, Lu Xiaoqi's fans, led by the "Watcher of Steel", as well as ordinary people who demanded solemn legislation, began to march!
At first, it was a few hundred, then thousands, and in the end, nearly 70,000 people poured into front of the White House to demonstrate that the government would take care of the matter.
But the arrogant Rifle Society was not deterred - what storm had not been seen since its founding in 1871? If the president is disobedient, he can "get rid of it"!
A senior executive of the Rifle Association even publicly stated on Twitter: "The determination of the association is not measured by the number of people!" ”
This statement immediately stabbed the hornet's nest, and the "Fullmetal Watchers" decided not to hold back any longer.
As mentioned above, the "watchmen" come from all walks of life, and their number has increased in this legislative turmoil, and has broken through the 5 million mark!
As a result, they spontaneously formed an army of hackers, an army of media, an army of students, an army of lawyers, an army of PR, and even real soldiers.
Didn't the rifle association want to embarrass the steel skeleton in the lofty way of "legislating"? All right! Let's start a "civil rights movement" again!
The hackers are responsible for finding all kinds of shady black spots of the Rifle Association, the media is responsible for publicizing these black spots and adding oil and vinegar to process them, the students are demonstrating in the streets based on these "black news", the lawyers are ready for legal backing and ready to deal with the "open guns" of the Rifle Association, and the military is responsible for monitoring and preventing the "hidden arrows" of the Rifle Association and those "decapitation operations".
Each "big army" has a clear division of labor, and is ready to make a real big news - the sun never sets on the empire, and Brexit is a fart!
………………
Lu Xiaoqi can't see all this, he entered the laboratory, if nothing else, he will stay inside for the next three months, and he will not contact the outside world!
