Chapter 80: Control
The most stable rule depends on absolute control of the mind. The reincarnation network can do this, but before reaching the situation like today, the immortal Buddha also took a lot of detours.
The schemes proposed before the reincarnation network are more traditional, such as demarcating living areas that cannot be freely accessed and keeping humans in captivity; or the use of a large number of robotic police for high-pressure control, and the education of slavery from birth; Or soak everyone in a nutrient solution and connect to the virtual reality to spend a lifetime.
However, these plans were rejected one by one due to their limitations, and a new idea based on mind control was proposed, which was the prototype of the reincarnation network.
The reincarnation network, which was upgraded from the early reincarnation technology, was not originally used to support global reincarnation, but to probe the minds of all people. The weak signals emitted by the chemical reactions in countless nerve cells are captured by the ubiquitous action field, and through the powerful computing power of quantum computer arrays and highly developed machine learning technology, the characteristics of thinking activities can be accurately identified, and any thoughts that do not meet the requirements can be found at any time.
At the beginning, it was the immortals of the Heavenly Court who were in charge of this system. They set up a list of sensitive words and executed anyone who was found to have the intention of rebelling. Gradually, however, the shortcomings of this mechanism began to become apparent. The recognition algorithm has a considerable degree of intelligence to ensure that the original intention of the idea is not distorted, and the problem is actually on the adjudicator's end. It is difficult for the immortals to reach a consensus on the criteria for judging the idea of "rebellion", which is not a quantifiable concept after all, and in the end they can only formulate some ambiguous rules, which adds a lot of unnecessary work to human judgment.
On the other hand, the human mind is so complex that no amount of noise filtering can deal with these chaotic thoughts, and it is difficult to determine whether a thought is rooted in the mind of its owner or just passed through his head. Although the overfitting phenomenon of the recognition algorithm is constantly and dynamically corrected, the speed of the algorithm's self-evolution still cannot keep up with the actual needs.
So the gods changed the criteria for judgment. It is only characterized when a definite correlation is found between the target behavior and the captured prohibited thoughts. As for the subjects who are on the verge of prohibited behavior, they have to deal with it with the idea that they would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
However, this approach backfired, and people began to hide their thoughts in different ways, and they really caught holes in the identification algorithms. As the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures, and the incredible situation of using manpower to fight the quantum computer queue has become a reality. Oppression inevitably leads to revolt, and forbidden ideas are increasing rather than decreasing.
However, because the amplification and capture of nerve signals by the field is a kind of lossy detection, due to its long-term effects, people's brains have physiological changes, so that the detection effect is gradually weakened. This made Heavenly Court have to consider changing its original approach.
At this time. Daileiyin Temple put forward the theory of reincarnation. Through the study of group psychology, they found that most people tend to hope for the afterlife. Once one is convinced of the existence of heaven or the next life, people usually exercise some self-restraint. And by downgrading thought detection to a gentler soul harvest, the problem of brain resistance is solved.
Subsequently, the temple established a more complete view of reincarnation, and made it not just a religious doctrine, but a real mechanism. Buddhism provided the technology for rebirth and soul review, and the Heavenly Court was responsible for the construction of infrastructure such as the underworld and collectors, and the true reincarnation network was born.
The concept of reincarnation began to become known to mortals. Yin virtue and retribution have also become things that everyone cares about all the time. Chanting machines were placed in every settlement, and no one resisted them, and everyone began to worship the gods spontaneously. When they think that everything is for themselves, they become slaves to their faith.
Zhen Yuanzi, who witnessed the entire development process, felt very sad. When the minds of mortals are absolutely controlled. Those who stand up as gods have also deviated from the spirit of science. Controlling mortals is also a kind of control over the gods themselves, but they don't realize that they have fallen into this narrow circle.
"Could it be that the Immortal Buddha stopped there? Energy is no longer a problem, and the ecology can be restored. But you are accustomed to dominating and suppressing humanity as a whole in a time of ignorance. If we want to eradicate war, there is clearly a better way. It's time to stop. He once said this to Taishang Laojun. Unlike those gods who are immersed in the position of domination, Lao Jun is one of the few immortals who still maintains the posture of a pure scientist.
However, his answer disappointed Zhen Yuanzi, who said, "Watch your words and deeds, Zhen Yuanzi. Although I will not punish you for this, as the Jade Emperor and Rulai did, you must understand that the general situation has come to pass, and it is impossible for us and the rest of humanity to return to our original relationship. ”
"Then get out of here, go to other planets, and let the people here live."
Taishang Laojun's face sank, and he frowned: "Why do you think the Great Wall was built?" Among the pioneers of that year, the Primordial Tianzun and the Lingbao Tianzun were all enemies of us, and Maitreya has not been heard from so far. Once we leave, no one knows what's going to happen here. Until all the hidden dangers are removed, we can only keep everything under control and avoid further trouble. ”
Zhen Yuanzi has nothing to say, this is a past that several core personnel are reluctant to mention. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the underlying reason has always been the taboo of talking, and most of the gods do not want to be belittled for it. But there is one person who cautiously pursues those hidden clues, and wants to find out the truth of the matter.
"The Lessons Learned Project Must Be Stopped." As one of the planners of the plan, Yang Jian actually wanted to sabotage this matter, which was really unexpected by Zhen Yuanzi. "I can't do it myself, and if I fail, my efforts will be in vain. It's just a short time to get an answer, and you can't make a mistake at this point. He said to Zhen Yuanzi, "However, a group of rebels has recently appeared, and I can borrow their hands to carry it out, but with my current situation, it is no longer suitable to contact them, and I need your help." ”
"Why?" Zhen Yuanzi was puzzled, "You are also a member of the Heavenly Gods, isn't it in your interests to stabilize the hearts of the people and domesticate the remnants of the rebels?" ”
"That's just public rhetoric, why bother with such a big detour if you really want to achieve your goal." Then, Yang Jian told Zhen Yuanzi some of the information he was currently having, which shocked him.
Thinking back to the last meeting, Zhen Yuanzi was still a little difficult to digest. According to Yang Jian's arrangement, after completing the contact with Shenfang, he received a new task this time. "Try to put off the few studies that you have been handed to you to buy me some more time. Xuanzang inadvertently established two indirect connections with you, and used them to create opportunities so that your communication with him would not seem abrupt. Yang Jian said.
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment and asked, "Erlang God, if things really go the way you think...... What should others do? ”
"That's not my concern. I'm not a mortal, I'm just a god. Yang Jian replied coldly, "You don't do anything superfluous, don't forget how the golden cicada was defeated." ”
After he left, Zhen Yuanzi walked into the courtyard again, stood still for a long time, and finally sighed, entered the hidden elevator in the Wuzhuang Temple, and sank into the deep underground space. (To be continued.) )
