Chapter 36: Abduction

Perhaps the world's fastest-changing thing is the human mind, and five years ago, Galava marched barefoot into Mumbai to promote bitcoin, but now he is sitting in front of the Taj Mahal to resist bitcoin.

The Taj Mahal in October is the golden season for tourism, but there are not many people in the square, seeing the placard behind Galava, some people look at him when they pass by, and some simply turn around and spat him, "Neurotic!" If he hadn't contributed to the trouble, would Bitcoin have become legal tender? ”

The square guard also walked up, "Galava, I heard that you have hoarded a lot of bitcoins, and now you are the richest man in India, please, if you really sympathize with the poor, help me buy a chabati, I am dying of hunger." Galava didn't seem to hear anything, didn't lift his eyelids, just sat still.

Half a year ago, Galava woke up to the fact that his actions in 2020 were a mistake, he gave up his job as a thunderbolt and meditated in major cities in India, he traveled from south to north, his followers were long gone, and no one donated bitcoins to his account.

After Bitcoin became the global benchmark currency, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the economy once showed a state of prosperity, and the good times did not last long, people found that they didn't have to do anything, as long as they exchanged the money they earned for Bitcoin and hid it, they could sit and wait for appreciation, and people became more and more reluctant to spend money to spend.

The once invincible Sinology online school is also dying, Chinese neither buy houses nor invest heavily in children, they continue to exchange yuan for bitcoin, seeing more than a billion Chinese devote themselves to this, and people around the world are also doing it.

At the global conference, most countries proposed to revise the San Francisco agreement, and the US-Japan alliance did not agree, Bitcoin has become a hard currency, why give up the status of coinage overnight, deflation is just pediatrics, and others will die first.

Seeing the collapse of the European Union, the largest economy, people are even less convinced of Galava, and the only way to survive the winter is to keep stockpiling bitcoin in troubled times.

Unlike Galava, Yue Zhengquan from China invented the anti-Internet theory very much, he wrote a book called "Body Theory", pointed out that Bitcoin is not the root of evil, the problem is the Internet, the origin of the Internet is a tool for secret surveillance, and then it has become a weapon for the superpower to promote globalization, artificial intelligence is just the value exploitation of less developed countries by technologically developed countries, and he called on people to tap their physical potential, self-cultivation, and get rid of dependence on artificial intelligence.

Young people who grew up in the Great Depression were particularly receptive to this set of theories, unlike their parents, who were obsessed with the Internet when they were young, and they used primitive letters to convey Yue Zhengquan's theories, and thousands of young people took pride in copying Yue Zhengquan's books.

A new quasi-religious school of thought was born, extremists smashed computers, destroyed network cables, fanatical young believers rushed to sub-Saharan Africa, Google's balloon-paved in-flight Internet had just been put into operation, a few mad guys hijacked a civil airplane and smashed the balloons to pieces, and the dark continent that had just been connected to the Internet became an island of information again, but in the eyes of the school of thought, it became a holy place, and pilgrims flocked to it like migratory birds.

They are like locusts, removing the chips of mobile phones, cars, home appliances and other smart devices wherever they pass and sticking them on their clothes, competing with each other to see who has more loot.

The younger generation will take Yue Zhengquan's doctrine to the extreme, they believe in Yue Zhengquan's theory, but do not worship him, they put forward the slogan of eliminating machines and saving mankind, and Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin, there is also a decentralized movement in the ideological world, the original founder Yue Zhengquan is no one remembers, all kinds of doctrines are like a flood of beasts eroding the hearts of young people, all kinds of changes are inseparable from their sects, and the purpose of the body school has evolved into everything self-centered.

The decentralization of the Internet has become the dogma of human society, and the IT industry has been making great progress in the past 80 years, and it has encountered a catastrophe for the first time.

As a result, Galava never expected that he would remove the anti-bitcoin placard behind his back, what did I do wrong? Is my choice right or wrong? Where do I go? He asked himself over and over again in his mind.

The theory of the body school is still being carried forward, there are more and more schools, cultural diversity, national autonomy, and the return of human nature have become the trend of the world's ideological circles, and people all over the world seem to have become saviors, they do not care about economic development, they care about how to maintain the prosperity of individuality.

Not long after the collapse of the European Union, Silicon Valley became the target of public criticism, the world's magic valley, the entire California held a referendum to separate from the United States, and the southern states of the United States and the North also had differences, the representatives of the North proposed to use the dominant position of the United States to reshape the world order, relying on the huge Bitcoin reserves of the United States to promote the world currency, and export technology to bring the world economy out of the quagmire, and the representatives of the southern states had the opposite opinion, they believed that the United States no longer needed to intervene in world affairs, The globalization strategy pursued after the end of the second station has been met with the opposition of all mankind and has completely failed.

As a result, the world's only superpower will inevitably fall apart. After the Southern Independent States announced their withdrawal from the United States, they successively closed the interface of the Internet, and all countries followed suit, and the goal of the whole school of thought was achieved.

The 3,000-kilometre-long Ganges River plunged Kolkata in half into the vast Indian Ocean, and for thousands of years, countless troubadours have walked along the banks to witness the rise and fall of this ancient city. After the end of World War II, the partition of East Bengal and the relocation of the capital to New Delhi caused Calcutta's status to plummet, and after entering the new century, Kolkata benefited from the popularization of the Internet, briefly prospered for 20 years, and then quickly fell into decline under the blow of the school of sport.

Galava sat on the shore, overlooking the port of Calcutta, the huge freighter was already lying on the dry dock with its whole body full of embroidery, the bank cranes were hanging and pulling their necks to watch the filthy Ganges River slowly flow into the distance, the messy storage yard of containers had long since become a slum on the outskirts of the city, and only the children playing football in the square brought a touch of life to the whole world.

"Mr. Galava", a skilled English accent made his gaze back, the person in front of him had thin eyes and single eyelids, looked about forty years old, and his accent was obviously not like that of an Indian, "My name is Park Jung-kwon, we have been following you for a long time, and you can't save humanity in your current state." Park Jung-kwon stepped forward and sat down on the ground facing Galava.

"I don't have the power to save humanity, I just want to save myself." Galava hadn't spoken for a long time, and his pronunciation was awkward even to him, "Who are you?" Why are you tracking me? ”

"I'm not following you, we're very concerned about you, but it's a shame that you're in a better situation, if there is a better environment, you can completely save humanity from the chaos." Park Jung-kwon's face was sincere.

"You still haven't told me who you are?"

"Quantum computers, quantum computers of thunder and lightning, you must know about them, right?" Park Zhengquan did not wait for Galava to answer and said, "The body school is popular all over the world, Silicon Valley has become a magic valley and isolated, Thunderbolt has long been bankrupt, and no one in this world has the ability to complete a quantum computer." ”

"What does this have to do with me?" Galava asked.

"You single-handedly pushed Bitcoin globalization six years ago, and you saw the consequences of it, and the world is in chaos. Now that you're leading the fight against Bitcoin, you're doomed to fail in this morally superior human society. Park Zhengquan's words made Galava's face cloudy, Park Zhengquan said what was on his mind, why didn't he know this truth, Galava didn't know the role of the Americans six years ago, and he still thinks that his failure was because he lost the trust of fans, but Park Zhengquan's next words made him suddenly realize.

"Mr. Galava, to put it mildly, the success of six years ago was not due to your personal charisma, but to the impetus behind the superpowers, when the position of the dollar was in jeopardy, and the Americans had the largest bitcoin reserves in the world, you can imagine the reasons for your success, right?"

"Why do you know so much?" The man in front of Galava became fearful.

"Because I sent a lot of the bitcoins you received as donations," Park Jung-kwan pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was printed with the signed account number of the previous donation to the bitcoin upward organization. "We can do you the first time and you can do it the second time," Park Jung-kwon, handing the paper to Galava, "You have enough technology in Raiden to defeat Bitcoin and restore order to the world." ”

"You mean cracking Bitcoin?" Galava asked, confused.

"You are indeed a wise man, and a wise man should be worthy of the respect of his followers, and we are willing to provide conditions that thunder and lightning cannot provide, so that you can complete the construction of a quantum computer." Park Jung-kwan finally said his true purpose.

Galava was silent, he was fully aware of the power of quantum computers, in thunder and lightning he saw with his own eyes the computer data processing power of eight qubits, the theory of the body school Galava also once thought, eighty years ago, the nuclear bomb and the electronic computer were born at the same time, the former is to release the devil from the bottle, so that the human fist becomes extremely powerful, enough to smash the human race itself; Isn't the latter also the devil, it makes the human brain incomparably stronger, enough to peek into all the secrets of mankind, if so, what is the mission of human existence in the universe?

Suddenly there was a ping-pong sound, and Garava turned his head to see that a football had smashed the glass on the container house, and all the children playing in the harbor disappeared without a trace. Galawa felt a gust of wind in front of him and lost consciousness, a motorboat in the distance rowed the garbage on the water and leaned against the shore, Park Zhengquan threw the spray can in his hand into the water, he dragged Galawa onto the motorboat, the boat drew an arc on the water surface and abruptly went downstream, the empty can fell with the waves, and the Korean letters on it could be faintly seen.

On Christmas 2014, Snowden had been on the run for a year, and Americans would never have thought about the Great Schism ten years later, the jobs index released before Christmas bodes well, and a bad movie "The Interview" made by Sony Entertainment has become a good gossip for people to celebrate Christmas.

The reason people talk about "The Interview" is not because of the tense plot in which a CIA agent disguises himself as a reporter to assassinate the North Korean leader, but because the film allowed Sony Entertainment's emails to be hacked and all the records of communications were revealed, and "The Interview" became an instant hit.

At the same time, Park Jung-kwon, who successfully deceived the censorship of the Americans and took over Snowden's work, unwittingly simulated an Asian hacker attack on Sony Entertainment, and his popularity is not known to many people, only a few command leaders in the 121st bureau.

In the western suburbs of Pyongyang, in Yongsan-ri, Lipo District, the Taedong River winds its way through it, and several two-story buildings stand within a barbed wire fence on the hillside, and the rooftop satellite antennas and iron towers are densely packed.

North Korea's mysterious 121 Bureau is encamped here, the 121 Bureau is the code name of the North Korean Internet Force, the computer elite inside is trained by the North Korean Computer Science Military Academy, the school system is five years, the number of applicants for the examination each year exceeds 2,500 people, but only 100 people can graduate, and 90 of them will be eliminated when they enter the 121 Bureau, they are proficient in computer and Internet technology, their identities are confidential, and their treatment is superior.

The 121st Bureau also has a U.S. branch, which is openly a South Korean trading company, but its real job is to be in charge of cyber warfare. Park Zhengquan was sent to the U.S. branch at the age of seventeen, and the computer genius easily faked his various identity experiences before the age of seventeen, and became a Korean-American born in the United States.

In the big screen in the conference room of the 121st Bureau, Park Zhengquan on the other side of the ocean hid in his home, standing straight at the camera in a dark green uniform, "Sony Entertainment dared to slander the great leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is a heinous crime, Comrade Park Zhengquan risked his life and successfully carried out retaliatory actions, effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the hostile elements, and successfully concealed the true identity of the 121st Bureau." For this reason, the General Bureau of Reconnaissance made a decision to give Comrade Park Zhengquan a first-class meritorious service! ”

Hearing that the director of the 121st bureau had finished reading the meritorious decision, Park Jung-kwon snapped a salute at the camera, "Long live the great Democratic People's Republic of Korea!" Long live the great leader Comrade Kim Jong Un! ”

"Comrade Park Jung-kwon, congratulations on your excellent achievements in the heart of the enemy, pay attention to protect yourself! Now the organization has an even more important task for you! ”

"Chief, please!" Park Jung-kwon's figure is straighter.
