Three years have passed again......

In the past three years, the whole world has changed a lot. Fueled by the anti-Sakura Alliance, the contradictions in public opinion have become more and more intense, and "whether cherry blossoms should be banned" has gradually become an important topic on the Internet.

As the public gradually learned about the existence of such a thing as "cherry blossoms", all kinds of chaotic debates became particularly acute.

But debate aside, most people still feel that since this thing will not affect their own lives, and the robot system has not determined that it is illegal, there is no need to interfere with other people's choices.

If you want to use it, if you don't want to use it, you can pull it down, why use the law to prohibit it?!

This is the mainstream perception of society, a helpless fact.

The population of Tokai City has moved more frequently, and some people have gone away after traveling abroad. Because "Sakura" is not allowed in Tokai City, they simply relocate to another place, and anyway, they can move the city with just a report.

There are also some professors from Qingbei University who have migrated from Jinghua City, which has a population of more than 10 million, and it is even more impossible for Jinghua City, which has a population of more than 10 million, did not pass the vote at the beginning.

Some people who oppose cherry blossoms often come to the city to see how the vote was passed in the first place.

In fact, the whole process is also difficult to replicate, it just occupies a window of time, and before the opposition grows, it is just forced through.

Tokai City, which banned cherry blossoms from the beginning, has become a stronghold of the opposition.

In three years, 16 referendums were held in the surrounding cities, 14 of which failed and 2 of which were successful. But the result was far worse than Zhang Yuan had expected.

As "Sakura" gradually spreads and the number of people who use it increases, the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" can't even set off a 17th vote. That is, these three cities have become the only remaining cities in the world, and they may be counterattacked at any time.

In the past three years, Zhang Yuan has copied a large number of real-world networks, and has also released many games, winning a large number of fans. Under the "coercion and temptation" of various games, these fans helped Zhang Yuan when voting, but that's it, it's really hard to really change anything.

Seeing the sky collapsing little by little, personal strength can only be regarded as a flat boat in the face of the tide of the times, and it is a little difficult to even protect itself, and there is a possibility of subversion at any time. This feeling of powerlessness reminded Zhang Yuan of the former Gliese civilization, which was really a lonely and helpless civilization, watching himself fall into the abyss step by step.

"A political party, it needs a strong political party to be able to change everything!"

However, few people responded, and even those of the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" were reluctant to participate in the so-called power struggle. Many people are willing to oppose "Sakura", but they are not willing to give everything they have for it.

……

In the fourth year, the inventor of "Sakura", chemist "Barry Pandora" committed suicide by slitting his wrists at home.

The death of this chemist did not make any splashes in this colorful world, he just wrote a letter and sent it to the "Anti-Sakura League".

“…… I'm sorry, but I created this devil without the power to seal it back away. Everything is my responsibility. ”

“…… I visited our campus yesterday and I do it almost every year, I like to reminisce about the good times when I was a kid, there is always a motherly warmth on campus. ”

"Five years ago, our students were still full of ideals and morals, and when they went out of society, they would choose to climb a mountain, travel the world, or find something to do for themselves...... The so-called little personal dream. ”

"But now, most people are just thinking about how to get rid of the constraints of the robot teacher, how to enter the society, and how to get greater happiness on the physical level......"

"When it comes to social practice, the ideology of the students has been polluted. Our world is no longer pure, and there are demons who have reached out to these students who have just left school, and they are luring girls to use 'cherry blossoms' to satisfy their desire to conquer......"

"What we have built is completely different from what we have fought for......

"I've been thinking about the difference between climbing a mountain and running a marathon and getting spiritual enjoyment and getting physical enjoyment directly...... Or that in itself doesn't make a difference. Perhaps there is an essential difference, the difference between the soul and the body, which I cannot describe. ”

"Humanity will not perish, with robots, humanity will not perish......"

"What a coward I'm a coward, goodbye, this world."

Barry Pandora writes a lot incoherently, and he doesn't know what is "good" or what is "bad". He just felt that the current society was becoming more and more "bad", and such badness was all self-inflicted, and then he died at home so irresponsibly......

……

In the fifth year, the number of cities where the use of "cherry blossoms" was banned increased from three to two. In one of the cities, the law was changed by referendum.

This is not the first major setback for the Anti-Sakura Alliance.

The vote set off by the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" in the past two years can almost be said to be an overwhelming failure, and the cities flooded with cherry blossoms have almost an overwhelming majority of negative votes. At this point, it is no longer meaningful to rely on lip service alone.

Even the positions of those within the alliance began to loosen.

Some people feel that there is no need to work so hard, and indeed, as the chemist Barry Pandora said, what is the essential difference between a child who is determined to climb a peak after graduation, or who indulges in all kinds of material comforts?

This world has long ceased to progress, most of the productivity and services are provided by robots, it is impossible for human beings to perish, no matter whether the spiritual level is a little better, or a little worse, human beings can still live on this planet and live their own comfortable life.

And because of their opposition to "Sakura", these originally very influential people also fell into verbal criticism. There is still Internet violence in this world, especially when the supporters of "Sakura" occupy the vast majority...... They believe that the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" wants to hold more power and restrict the freedom of human beings themselves.

In this way, after a heated internal meeting, a large number of members of the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" chose to leave, having already admitted the fact of their defeat and were no longer willing to resist too much.
