471. Suspicion of parasitism
Mei Yiqiu shook his head and said: "According to our past discoveries, the main target of parasitic consciousness is the people who have the resources and the right to speak among the human beings, and the vast majority of the wealth and power of the human race are in the hands of one percent of the population, and they want to completely control and subvert the human society, at least twenty percent of them, that is, two thousandths of the global population, which is equivalent to fifteen million people, and 100,000 people is too few!" ”
"Why can't 100,000 people do it?" Mei Ziqing said, "If these 100,000 people are at the top of the power pyramid of national governments, won't they be able to easily control human society?" ”
"If humans are defenseless, it is. But now the world knows that we have been invaded, the gray brain virus has been discovered, AST and PFI have developed drugs against Toxoplasma gondii, and the gray brain virus vaccine developed by MSD has also received special approval from the FDA and the World Health Organization and will be available early next year. When all mankind is in a state of vigilance, it is too difficult for 100,000 people to subvert human society. Moreover, judging from the analysis data, there are no 100,000 people at all! ”
"How so? Isn't the proportion more than 1 in 100,000? Mei Ziqing said, pointing to the data on the computer screen, said, "Most people still regard the Dream Guide as a game, and our customers in the first quarter are mainly young people, that is, the rich second generation, and a large number of parents order for their children." These people are not the target of parasitic consciousness, and it is not until the third quarter that users over the age of 25 continue to join, and the proportion of the population over the age of 40 is very low, and there are almost no people over the age of 60.
The people who buy the space box are all wealthy families, and the players are concentrated in the young people who have no say in the family, and only those who are important in the family are parasitic objects. Among these young players, a ratio of 1 in 100,000 has been found, and I think the real proportion must be much higher than that. ”
Mei Yiqiu shook his head and said: "Our sample is originally the group with the highest probability of being parasitized, and with the decrease of wealth and knowledge level, the base of the population continues to increase, and the probability of being parasitized will plummet." So the 1 in 100,000 that you see now is still the data that occurs in a high-probability group, and according to the probability distribution, the real parasite may not even be 1 in a million of the global population, so I think there is something wrong with the data. ”
Mei Ziqing said suddenly: "No wonder Professor you want to set the price of the space box so high, it turned out to be to lock in the target group." ”
"That's one of them." "The second is that it's really too expensive!" ”
Mei Ziqing asked, "When will our third-generation product come out?" At that time, the cost will be reduced a lot, right? ”
"Come on." Mei Yiqiu said casually, "If the black box of the space box can't find out all the parasites, then how much point is there in reducing the cost?" He puffed on his cigarette and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, "I always feel that there is something wrong that we have overlooked." Alas, now it would be nice if Aoki was here! ”
Mei Ziqing asked cautiously, "Mr. Aoki and Professor Su...... Won't really...... You can't come back, right? ”
Mei Yiqiu didn't speak, just smoked in silence. After a while, he frowned and said, "What about Xiaobian?" Let Xiao Bian come over, it's time for his Kronos to play a role. ”
Mei Ziqing smiled: "Professor, you forgot!" You gave Bian Ziyuan a holiday, he didn't go home for the New Year last year, and he went back early this year, and took away a space box, which is all agreed! ”
"Oh, look at my memory!" Mei Yiqiu patted her head and laughed at herself, "I'm old, and my brain is not good." You see, parasitic consciousness doesn't come to me, I don't even have the value of being parasitized! ”
Mei Ziqing covered her mouth and giggled. Knowing that the professor was just joking, she turned to asking, "What are you going to do with the parasites you've discovered?" You can't ...... them all."
Mei Ziqing suddenly thought that many of those people were still children, and her face turned white when she brushed it.
"We don't have the power to enforce the law!" Mei Yiqiu said, "And they are only suspected of being parasitized, and they need to be further confirmed through observation, anyway, as long as they use the "Dream Guide", their information will be in our gene pool, and they can't run away." There are too few samples now......"
Mei Ziqing always felt that the professor had something to say, but she knew the old man's temper, so she didn't allow you to get to the bottom of it.
"Could it be that the small sample size is that their invasion plans have been stopped for some reason, or that they simply don't have that many people," she said. ”
"Continued incursions are certain, but there are not so many people who don't hold it." Mei Yiqiu said, "Parasitic consciousness is different from human beings, from the current intelligence analysis, this kind of consciousness itself has no memory, no emotions and desires, they just take over the brain and memory of the invaded, but their consciousness instinct will gradually manifest itself, so the parasitic person will undergo certain physiological and psychological changes, such as *** reduction, the formation of a fixed estrus period and so on." By reasoning, their desire for power is also indifferent, because power has no meaning to a person who may live forever and lacks physical desires.
But judging by the information Aoki left us, they were organized. Theoretically, a life without memory acts entirely on instinct and cannot be organized, so they must have been able to retrieve the memories of their race by some means, or some of them.
If they are just a sparse number of life groups, they don't need to think about which part of the population to invade, just like ordinary parasites don't care whether the host has money or status, it only cares if this body can give it the best living environment.
We don't know if humans are the ultimate or intermediate hosts of parasitic consciousness, but in any case, if they are just to give themselves a body and brain that they can sustenance, then just find some people to parasitize secretly, and there is no need to forcibly invade people like Lester, because finding a specific target will increase the difficulty and cost of invasion, and this kind of person is too risky for them. And the fact is that it is indeed because of Lester's last words that mankind has been guarded, and from this point of view, Mr. Lester is the real hero who saves mankind! ”
At the mention of Lester, Mei Yiqiu's voice became excited, her eyes were a little red behind the smoke, and the muscles on her face trembled imperceptibly a few times, and then relaxed again, revealing a tired face.
"Since they have screened and selected the earthlings, and this choice is extremely risky and contradicts their conscious instincts, then there is only one possibility-" Mei Yiqiu said with a long puff of smoke, "Their parasitic path is not as easy as we think, they need to control the entire human race in order to open a complete parasitic channel and let more parasitic consciousness in." ”
"And what would their parasitic pathways be?" Mei Ziqing asked curiously, "What kind of channel needs the strength of the entire human society to open up?" Or are they worried about something? Is there something or force that can stop or even destroy them in the event of a full-scale invasion? ”
"I don't know." Mei Yiqiu suddenly closed her eyes and pondered, the tobacco in her pipe had burned to ashes, and the smoke was still filling the room.
