Chapter 415: The Formation of the Uncanny Valley
After the Justice League expressed its approval of the government's proposed "Transhuman Regulations", the bill began to be implemented with incredible efficiency and popular support. On the day the law came into effect, a large number of transhumans registered with the government as superheroes who punished evil and rape.
These new and old superheroes are all respected by the people, and in this era that has just experienced a catastrophic disaster, the more people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for justice, the better. The activism of these government-backed heroes has undoubtedly prevented many evils from happening, and the formal recognition of the law has also allowed these superheroes to be more and more free in their actions.
At the same time, at the behest of Chen, Stark Industries' Steel Corps was rapidly decreasing its attendance, and the responsibility of law enforcement was once again in the hands of the incompetent police. Of course, these ordinary people with only small pistols can't contain the rampant supervillains, so the burden of dealing with these villains falls on this group of newly registered superheroes.
The Justice League plays an important role in this process, and this team of heroes who stand at the pinnacle of superhuman power will always show up where the enemy is strongest and tricky, and then thwart the supervillains' plots with overwhelming force. The whole process did not even result in the death of a single person, as if the right to use lethal force provided in the bill was a decoration for them. These powerhouses are more than capable of subduing any opponent without killing anyone.
But for those free superheroes who have not been able to join the Justice League and can only do it on their own, it is far from being so easy. Although their confrontation seems to the Justice League to be boring rookie pecking at each other, it is actually a gamble on each other's lives for both warring parties, so it makes perfect sense to kill each other in a superhero fight, which is perfectly legal under the new law.
For these supervillains, most of the people expressed no regret, not to mention that it was a situation of death at that time, and the government was able to say that it was completely in line with the will of the people that it would not pursue the legal responsibility of these superheroes, and the public applauded.
However, killing also seems to be an addiction, and a small number of indie superheroes slowly become unstoppable after tasting the sweetness of outright execution. They increasingly believe that they have the power of life and death for this group of evildoers, and it is better to kill them directly than to subdue them and lock them up and slowly reform them (most of them still never repent).
After all, this is a kind of justice, right, now not only morality, but also legal problems.
Soon a group of supervillains died directly under the butcher's knives of independent superheroes, ending their sinful and short lives.
There are still a few people who go crazy like this, and they haven't attracted much attention, and the Justice League can only educate the superhero at most when they find out about this situation, and the other party is not a member of their own organization after all, and they can't use the Justice League's guidelines to demand these people.
But the problem is that the number of superhumans has suddenly entered a state of rapid growth recently, whether it is instinctively using their superpowers for their own personal gain, or accepting more and more registered superheroes recruited by the government, the confrontation between the two is gradually moving towards a completely out of control direction.
Now Chen Lu, who directed all this, is sitting on the top floor of the Stark Industrial Building, casually drinking tea and looking through the glass window at the battles between the little villains and the little heroes that break out on the street from time to time, this kind of petty fight usually does not attract the attention of the Justice League. The civilians were accustomed to quickly dodging away, and then watched the battle between the superhumans from a safe distance.
In the eyes of the more powerful superhumans, this is rookies pecking each other, but in the eyes of mortals without superpowers, this superpower actual combat confrontation is even more exciting than the performance of the world's greatest magician.
The police arrive a few minutes later, but they don't dare to intervene in the battle between the two superhumans, and the only thing they can do is evacuate the populace and open up more space for the superhero battle.
The city's security seems to be proceeding in an orderly manner, but in fact, the continuous skirmishes between transhuman beings have gradually brought the civilized capital closer to the war-torn city. It is conceivable that in the future, where the number of superhumans continues to grow rapidly, the entire United States will become their battlefield.
At that point, it will not matter whether it is a battle between good and evil.
Tony sat down on the sofa next to him with a wine glass and asked Chen Lu, "This is what you want?" Let the struggle between transhumans continue to expand until they completely destroy the daily lives of civilians? ”
Chen Lu smiled: "Tony, have you heard of the uncanny valley theory?" ”
Of course, this is not difficult for a knowledgeable super-genius scientist, Tony replied without thinking, "It's not a scientific theory, but we still barely know it." Humans will increase their favorability by increasing the anthropomorphism of humanoid objects, but will suddenly feel disgusted or even terrified when the anthropomorphism of humanoid objects reaches a certain height, and this range is the uncanny valley. ”
Chen Lu nodded: "That's right, and for the relationship between ordinary humans and superheroes, the number is enough to constitute that uncanny valley." When the number of superheroes is small, too small to pose a threat to humanity as a whole, as long as they don't do anything too out of the ordinary, it's not enough to arouse people's instinctive disgust, after all, they do good things that do justice. ”
But when this number continues to grow, to the extent that it constitutes a ruling class, mortals should feel the crisis. When they have to think of the superhuman as a race rather than as an outlier among the human race, opposition is inevitable. In addition, for those powerful superhumans with superior strength, such as superhuman and the like, ordinary people have to admit that their status is above that of mortals even if they don't want to. However, in the future, there will be more and more micro-abilities created by us who only have a little more ability than ordinary people, and for such people, can human beings be willing to live under others? ”
In fact, this series of actions is simply to push the superhumans in the DC world to a situation similar to the mutants in the Marvel universe, unlike the large number of mutants, the number of superhumans in the DC world is relatively rare in general, and there are not so many weak and almost meaningless superhuman existences, most of them have the ability to ride a thousand, ordinary humans either worship or fear them, and discrimination is almost non-existent.
And all of this is changing rapidly.
