Chapter 36: Doubts
Under Zhou Xin's skillful questioning, he soon learned from Fergutan's mouth. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info his five-year-old child, except for showing that he is very intelligent, is completely different from the behavior habits of ordinary children on earth. During the break, the child's favorite thing was not to play, but to sit there quietly in a daze, and even at other times he showed a lot of silence, as if he was immersed in his own world.
After further questioning, Zhou Xin learned that it was not only the children of Fogtan who usually showed different behaviors from the children of the earth, but all the children of Nuoshan were like this. All of them have completely lost their playful nature, and children's products such as toys have lost their market among the Norzans decades ago. There is very little interest in the children, and this will continue until the children start school at the age of six.
For what they believed to be anomalous, Fergtan was accustomed to it. Even when Zhou Xin introduced him to some of the daily activities of the Earth Children, he felt very incomprehensible about the active behavior of the Earth Children. Zhou Xin also got a message from the conversation: for the Norshan people, they want their children to be as quiet as possible, and the quieter the children, the better they can adapt and use the chip in their brains, so that they are more likely to achieve success in the future.
During the whole conversation, Ralph wanted to retort several times, and even Christy couldn't help but have something to say, but was stopped by Zhou Xin. Then, in Fogeltan's account, they waited for the last microchipped-in child to appear.
At this time, the entire hall was already deserted, except for Zhou Xin and his party. The children who had been microchipped earlier had already been brought back by their parents, leaving only the last few children and their parents. Now they are gathering together to exchange something, and judging by the joy on their faces, it is obvious that they are very satisfied with the implanted chip. As for the children in their arms, who were now lying quietly like puppets, none of them felt anything wrong.
Ever since seeing the reaction of the first two children to the microchips, Ralph has become a little sullen. Originally, she had a good time with the children, and she no longer went to look for those children, but chose to stay by Zhou Xin's side. This was even more true after all the children present had chips in their brains, and she even began to tug at Zhou Xin's clothes under the table, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
I saw that the children had all completed the implantation of the chips, and I had learned enough from Fogtan. So, after Fergtan answered another question of his own, Zhou Xin said: "The children's side has been completed, and I think we will almost end it today." ”
"Hmm." Fergtan nodded, then continued, "I didn't expect it to be so late, so let's eat." With that, he stood up.
After having lunch with Fergutan, Zhou Xin declined his offer: "I can take you around." Instead, they returned to their temporary place with the group.
When there were no outsiders here, Ralph finally broke out completely, "Uncle Captain! Why don't you let me stop them?! ”
"Block? How to stop it? What is the reason to stop it? Zhou Xin had already guessed Ralph's reaction, he glanced at Ralph and replied calmly.
"Just stop them, what more reason is needed." It was clear that Ralph was still angry, and what he said was not considered.
"Calm down." Zhou Xin continued, "Implanting a chip in infancy has become a habit of the Norshan people, just like we were vaccinated when we were children, if there is no valid reason, how can we stop it? ”
"Isn't it a reason why the children have changed so much?" Ralph retorted loudly.
"But they didn't notice it." Zhou Xin shook his head, "Although it is still unclear why they can't find such an obvious change for the time being, since they haven't discovered it, this can't be a reason for us to convince the other party." After saying that, he added, "And, even if they find out, there is no way to stop them from implanting chips on this reason alone, after all, we haven't found a greater harm, right?" ”
"With such a big change in personality before and after, isn't it harmful?" Ralph was not convinced by Zhou Xin's words.
"But think about it, in addition to the change in personality, isn't the benefit of the chip greater to the Norshans?" Zhou Xin said, "Even if they know that their personalities will be changed, but they have already enjoyed the convenience of the chip in their brain, will they give up implanting the chip in their children?" What's more, they obviously don't know this yet. And, didn't you hear Fergtan's instructions? I don't know to what extent, but at least they will recover, so even if they know the truth, they won't care about what happened to their children in previous years. After all, in exchange for a lifetime of convenience, anyone will choose the latter. ”
"But all of your assumptions are based on the knowledge of the Norsans, but it's clear that none of them now notice that their children have changed." Ralph retorted again, "Even if there's no way to stop them, what's wrong with us reminding them?" ”
"It's wrong, it's right, but it doesn't make sense, they're still going to make the same choice as I said." Zhou Xin replied, "The key question is still why no one has noticed such a noticeable change. ”
"You say, could it be that Fergtan wants us to implant the chip as well, so he deliberately hides the disadvantages of the chip implant from us?" At this time, Dart guessed.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xin shook his head, "This kind of verbal deception can only be said to be covering our ears and stealing the bell, how can we not see such an obvious change before and after." This kind of untruth will only make us more reluctant to implant chips, and telling the truth will make me think about it. So, logically they wouldn't do it. What's more, if they want to hide it, how can they take us to the site of the chip implant to observe, it is too easy to expose the truth. After saying these words, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought again, "Why is this ......?" ”
