Chapter 8 0 The Age of Secrecy

With the footsteps of civilization in space, the short-distance information transmission rate is far from meeting the needs of instant communication of civilization, and the information revolution has undergone several earth-shaking changes in a century.

The last iterative update of Blue Domain's civilian communication model was 53 years ago. Since then, each communicator as a mobile client can freely send and receive signals without going through the communication satellite, and the information transmission is like a wild horse.

While people enjoy the speed and convenience brought by the leap in information, they also pay almost all their privacy. Labor income and consumption bills are recorded by the "global working hours management system", the habit of browsing information is analyzed, summarized and judged by the intelligent system, and the genetic traits, personal fetishes and activity tracks are all supervised by various systems.

The shade of privacy is becoming less and less, and everyone is exposed to the sun and running naked. The weight of self-media is enough to compete with the official, and when it comes to news dissemination, it is manifested as a common phenomenon that everyone is a reporter and the big V confronts the official.

"The Mystery of the Mysterious Death of the Former Finance Chief" spread rapidly among users overnight through this channel. It's like a grain of salt falling into water, no matter how fast you react, no matter how timely the salt is fished out, it can't withstand the violent movement of molecules, and those molecules dissolved in it are enough to make the whole water body salty.

3 years ago, he overstepped his authority to release a video of Dewey's speech, and Nan Mingshen, who thought he would lose his job, was appointed as the director of the press center by mistake.

Society needs the truth, and society also needs tranquility, and this degree is difficult to control. When the mystery stirred up a thousand waves, Nan Mingshen reported it to Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tianzhi was anxious, as if he had never encountered such a thorny problem in his life, whether it was Gaia's negotiation or sending troops to Carmon, there was no thorny problem in front of him. The yellow, black, and black faces can be seen to be blue and purple for a while.

"You are the head of the press center, what do you think?"

"Look at the evidence, it's like being murdered. If you look at the impact, I don't see that far. ”

Yuan Tianzhi sighed: "This time, I'm afraid I don't have such a far-sighted vision. You report to me, and you do your duty. In this matter, don't be in a hurry to refute the rumors, and don't be in a hurry to control it, this will lead to three hundred taels of silver here. In addition, I will contact the Investigation Brigade to confirm the source of the evidence. Apart from these two things, don't do anything superfluous, you go back first. ”

Since Huo Qiyuan and Huo Qigang were appointed, Yuan Tian's voice in Huo Qimeng's "cabinet" has continued to weaken. At first, Huo Qimeng's trust in his cousin was sincere, and only he knew his blood relationship in his heart, which made him even more convinced of Yuan Tianji.

However, with Huo Qimeng's character, he doesn't like people who disagree with him. Qiyuan and Qigang, who have just joined the group, although their ability is not as good as Yuan Tian's, they are docile and obedient, never disobeying, and always stand in Huo Qimeng's position at critical moments, which makes Yuan Tianzhi gradually lose his right to speak.

Yuan Tianzhi also thought about compromise, but some decisions were enough to cause historical mistakes, and he could only try to override public opinion again and again. However, once this situation occurs, his voice is attenuated. Now I am facing such a problem, which is enough to influence my motivation to speak.

Time did not allow Yuan Tianyuan to think about it, and the head of state's mansion was brightly lit again, however, this time, Huo Qiyuan, who had always talked endlessly, was also a little embarrassed, so Huo Qimeng could only open this mouth first.

"Why don't you speak? Don't you know why you called everyone? ”

"We are all saddened by the death of our uncle. In principle, the deceased is the majority, and the family should not be disturbed too much. ”

Huo Qiyuan still knows a little bit about the art of speaking, and knows that this matter cannot be investigated into the truth or falsehood, and can only judge right and wrong from the perspective of human feelings.

"So what? We can't let this go on and on, can we? ”

"Although the truth is so, I am afraid that forcibly refuting the rumors is not enough to convince people." Huo Qigang always doesn't open which pot to mention.

The scene fell into embarrassment again, refute the rumors, what a refutation! The evidence and videos are all there, and the force calculation is not something that only one person can do.

"Mouse, why don't you speak, you have the most options."

"I agree with Qiyuan's opinion that this matter can't spread like this. But I'm not good at controlling public opinion. ”

"Qigang, the news center is your department in charge, what can you do?"

"I'll tell you!" Huo Qiyuan was afraid that Qigang would mention the matter of refuting the rumors again, so he could only stubbornly continue the topic:

"The impact of things so far is still at the level of attracting attention. People are waiting for the official voice to speak, and we must speak out, but without conclusive evidence, we can't force ourselves to finalize the truth or falsehood. Secondly, what Qi Gang has to do, find a set of events that are enough to attract attention, cover this event in the past, remember, it is a set rather than one, and highlight the hierarchy. The forgetfulness of the crowd is great, and the sound will be drowned out one day. When the time comes, it's not too late to make a proper statement about this matter. ”

"There is a certain feasibility, and there is one more thing that has not been taken into account, the person who posted this event! Whether this matter is true or not, I also have doubts in my heart, Qiyuan, you mobilize the reconnaissance team to thoroughly investigate the source of the information. ”

When everyone was gone, Huo Qimeng said to the air again: Follow Yuan Tianzhi and see if this matter was instructed by him!

However, they don't need to take the initiative to investigate, the initiator of this incident, Li Mingyang, occupied all the headlines through an interview.

"Mr. Li, how sure do you think the news of the mysterious death of the former financial director that went viral last night proves that it is true?"

"First of all, I need to understand that what I am posting is only a conjecture, which is based on the existing facts. There is a truth that I think is clear to everyone: assuming that the theoretical basis for this matter is true, the conjecture is almost 100% correct. ”

"Then why are you posting a conjecture, you know, it will cause a big sensation, and it will not be good for society or you personally!"

"If the so-called benefits refer to short-term estimated returns, then I can't get them. But if it's a long-term intellectual contribution, that's what I want. This incident is of the same nature as the natural withering that I advocated before, and the purpose is to overcome the public's perception of immediate limited interests, take a long-term view, and take everything according to the truth, not be moved by immediate interests. ”

With countless reruns of the interview, Li Mingyang also used the momentum created to promote his thoughts again. Soon, the number of members of the Withering Society increased by a thousandfold.

This time, Li Mingyang learned to strike while the iron was hot, and organized his personnel in advance to summarize the terms related to the ultimate mystery of the universe, the destination of the soul, and the sinful beings, and used the unverifiable but unfalsifiable agnosticism of theology at the end of science to make connections, forming a religious school that pretends to be a god and a ghost under the cloak of science.

Historically, people have always been full of awe of the unknowable, especially in the face of the ultimate problem of life and death, but in modern times, with the research and development of immortal genes, in a long history, death has been far away from those people in this time and space, and people have come up with an illusion that death is far away from themselves, and religion has also died down for a while.

Li Mingyang happened to take advantage of this loophole, and the first group of people to be injected with longevity genes are slowly approaching death. The obsession with the world and the nostalgia for life are deepening the inner fear of the elderly. Using science and theory to persuade people to give up their obsession with life will not work, and with the experience of the last time, Li Mingyang can only be forced to choose the means of religion.

Believers have proliferated exponentially, and there are people who have enough wisdom to argue that theories are ridiculous. Whenever night falls, when everything is quiet, the fear of death makes them unable to find any corner to hide.

I can only open "Natural Withering", read those sentences, and fall asleep peacefully.

[In the world of life, everything has a spirit. Life and death are a state, not an end. The physical body is just the skin that carries the soul, and if the soul is properly cultivated in the skin, it will naturally ascend. The ultimate meaning of the universe is the petri dish of the soul. Matter and energy are only tools for cultivating the soul. With more souls and fewer skins, the universe will prosper. If there are fewer souls and more skins, the universe will be eaten away by skins. The end is the beginning of the beginning, the beginning is the end of the end! 】

After the interview was exposed, Li Mingyang hid incognito. In such an era of zero secrecy, it is almost impossible to evade detection. Li Mingyang had thought about such a day a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to come so late.

The first thing to do is to cut off communication with the outside world. Mr. Lee lost all the equipment that had a signal, and only brought with him a satellite phone that had been out of service more than 20 years ago.

Secondly, it is troublesome to hide the trajectory route, the whole world is full of cameras, and as soon as you take the vehicle, you will connect with other vehicles to plan the route. Walking is even more impossible, and to get out of this residential jungle, it takes at least 600 kilometers to walk. But there is one means of transportation that does not need to be connected to the Internet - the car in the province of Zhongdu.

The third is the necessities of life, Li Mingyang doesn't plan to hide for a long time, he just needs to play for a while and disappear, and when the world is in chaos, he can be a savior again. So, I only brought some ingredients and nutrient injections, and took advantage of the fact that the news interview had just been released and the world was still in chaos, so I took the airship and car that had been arranged to a public toilet in Zhongdu Province that had been stepped on a few years ago.

Zeng Yuquan, who was far away in Haike Yingzhou, learned that Gaia was already in chaos, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. It's just that Hua Xiangrong, who also saw the news, suddenly fell seriously ill, and after a bizarre coma that the Führer's personal doctor couldn't find out, he struggled to get up, and despite the obstruction of his subordinates, he forcibly led the ship to Haike Yingzhou.
