Chapter 005: Ghost Country
Ghost Country!
Hong Ye knew the meaning of the word.
The advent of the Celestial Reincarnation Technology has reduced the crime rate of federal citizens to an extremely low level. The reason for this is that if you want to log in to the artificial other side and enjoy the blessings of heaven and man, you must face the Federal Celestial Reincarnation Administration.
Convicted prisoners, even if they can escape the pursuit of police detectives, they can't escape the passage of time. When the life of the world is at the end of its life, if you want to land on the other side, you still have to return your soul to the legal society.
Not only that, even if the crimes committed are not discovered, the celestials still need to go through the torture of the "Mirror of Questions" before going to the other side.
The Mirror of Inquiry is a set of subjective interrogation procedures for celestial beings.
First of all, the program will physically shield the area of the brain that represents the "self-will" from the human being, causing it to enter a hypnotic state.
Then, the tool artificial intelligence asks the celestial whether he has committed various specific crimes in his life, and judges whether the celestial person is guilty based on the confession of the celestial man and the actual investigation.
This is not a direct reading of the memory, and there is no human intervention in the entire procedure, so the Federal Ethics Committee considers it reasonable.
When celestial beings are questioned, no matter whether they feel guilty or not, and no matter how distorted and paranoid their cognition is, as long as they subjectively know the existence of the facts of the crime, then everything will be hidden in front of the mirror of inquiry.
Unless someone is willing to take the extreme risk of performing an amnestic erasure to remove the facts of the crime from their own personality.
In this way, in a sense, the celestial man has indeed become innocent and can ascend to the other side of the artificial.
Erasing memories is risky.
Erasing a part of a person's memory can leave a gap and a broken circuit that can be fatal and likely to have some unpredictable impact on later life.
Moreover, the trick of erasing criminal memories to hide from the world does not always work, and the AI is often able to find gaps in other clues.
Is it to obey the law, and then smoothly reincarnate as a celestial being, and log in to the other side to see the long life?
Or do it quickly for a while, and when the final moment comes, you may lose your soul and cut off your tail to survive; or to hell (virtual underground prison), confess their sins and be punished; Or, it just disappears......
Countless people with potentially criminal tendencies have chosen the former without question.
But there is always something that makes it difficult for the light to shine, and righteous means alone cannot completely eradicate evil.
Since evil will always exist, they will look for a new way out, and that way out is to log in to the illegal artificial shore that has not been registered with the Human Federation-
Ghost Country!
Ghost countries are the targets of the Human Federation's resolute crackdown and banning, and their scale is usually small, and few can accommodate more than 100,000 prosthetic brains to log in at the same time.
Some of these prosthetic brains were officially granted by the Federal Celestial and Human Administration, while others were reincarnated by wanted criminals who bought the original prosthetic brains from unknown sources on the black market.
The sinful souls they carry are afraid of the punishment of hell and are unwilling to dissipate, so they are called evil spirits.
In the network of the Human Federation, the Celestial and Sympathetic modules have unique real names, and all network activities depend on this, and it is difficult for unregistered evil ghosts to mingle with each other.
Therefore, in the usual sense, the ghost country is just a local area network.
Demons are also human beings in nature, and they also need to communicate with others.
Therefore, the more ghost countries that log in to the prosthetic brain, the more popular they are with evil ghosts. However, as the number of prosthetic brains increases, the amount of electricity and resources it consumes, the people it comes into contact with, and the signal leakage it produces also multiplies, in other words, the risk of its exposure increases exponentially.
The artificial side of the Human Federation is technologically advanced, absorbing the energy of the sun to maintain its operation in the natural low temperature environment of outer space, and its internal time flow rate is almost the same as that of the human world.
The ghost kingdom is mostly simple and backward, with high consumption and low energy, and the other prosthetic brains registered together are full of evil souls.
Is it because of what kind of terrible punishment you have to bear that people will be willing to give up landing in the heavens and reincarnate in the ghost kingdom instead?
Therefore, the seizure of 43,361 evil ghost prosthetic brains is similar to the arrest of 43,361 extremely vicious criminals. It's hard to estimate how many other people they will be involved.
"You won't pull me in......"
Hong Ye's heart was a little worried, and his eyes focused on the curtain couldn't help but become scattered.
Running a ghost country, especially one that can reach the scale of tens of thousands of prosthetic brains landing at the same time, requires huge technical support. There are not too many technicians who are willing to step into this black area and have the ability to meet the corresponding requirements.
Then, we have to take into account that there is a high probability that there is a certain person in the group who provides services to the ghost country who has also provided technology and channel services to Hong Ye, and Hong Ye has indeed purchased such services. If you involve him, you'll be in trouble.
The scale of this ghost country is too large, and it is also in the East Asian region, so Hong Ye will not be surprised at all if the worst happens.
He wasn't a thief, he was just worried about his possessions.
There are quite a few illegal items around Hong Ye, most of which are just to forge a "legitimate" identity and allow him to use old-time equipment to simulate sympathetic modules to access the federal network, such as the co-converter that the temple is using to broadcast TV programs.
Falsifying an identity to access a federal network is in itself an offense, not a crime. Moreover, Hong Ye has never used a forged identity to do other illegal and criminal things, and even if he is held accountable, he will face a small fine at most.
But the key point is that most of Hong Ye's current assets are recorded under a fake identity!
If this "non-existent person" is discovered by the Federation, then there is no doubt that this identity will be frozen, if not immediately canceled. How things will develop in the future, Hong Ye really has no bottom in his heart.
"I really should have implanted the sympathetic module earlier and transferred the property!"
Hong Ye was very annoyed at the moment.
In the new era, a person who does not have a sympathetic module or a real name provided by a prosthetic brain cannot even deposit money in a bank. Almost all the flow of money between the new human beings will be done through the network, and without bank deposits and no access to the network, it means that it is difficult to move an inch in a civilized society.
It has been 16 hours since the incident, but although the distance between the two places is not far and the journey does not take long, the established procedures between the various departments will delay a lot of work.
So Hong Ye couldn't be sure if he was safe at the moment or if he was at a critical moment of crisis.
He only deals with agents, and he never leaves a fixed contact information for black market transactions.
