The hologram is gone.

The liquid metal that made up the bodies of the "sentinels" who were originally used for video playback also fell in front of everyone in the hall of the Canbert Manor in a burst of change, turning into a metal block the thickness and size of a smartphone, with a faint rainbow screen on it.

"That's what Navalli said...... What is the 'terminal information device' provided to an individual? ”

Robles glanced at the thing, knowing that it must have the functions of real-time monitoring and background information transmission, and his heart was bored for a while, but he still picked it up.

After all...... The situation is trending.

But just as the palm of his hand touched the metal block, the rainbow light of the film on it flickered, and a pleasant voice sounded in Robles's ears, and with the explanation of that voice, he immediately understood the use of this terminal device.

"The device has a variety of morphing functions, including 'handheld mode', 'watch mode', 'glasses mode'...... And the 'semi-access mode' of neural connections? The last mode allows you to immerse yourself in a semi-virtual world, far more advanced than the VR and AR devices of the past? ”

Robles' pupils are constricted.

This is far beyond the technical level of the past smart device manufacturers of black technology products, no matter in any period of launch, can absolutely sweep all the PC, mobile phone, VR glasses on the market, create a market of more than ten trillion US dollars, and at least can give birth to several trillion US dollars of market value of the overlord enterprises.

But in the case of Navali Evans, the founder of the "New America," it seems to be just a tool for policy promotion and voting.

Putting aside the dark clouds in his mind for the time being, Robles did not experiment with the semi-access mode of the device for the first time, but only let it be worn on his wrist in the form of a watch.

But when he looked up and looked out, he saw the people of Campert excitedly connecting the metal block to their nerves, and they were amazed and amazed.

"This ...... This world ......"

"Oh my God, I feel like I can actually touch it!"

"It works with nerve signals to simulate sight, hearing and smell...... There's even some haptic! ”

"Oh my God, it's like the world of Real Name and Ready Player One...... This public forum is a real 'forum'! The square has been magnified countless times, and you can really walk around inside! ”

Robles frowned slightly.

In his eyes, all the juniors in the Campert family, as long as they are children in their thirties, are now enthusiastic and happy to try the experience of the virtual world, even if they are over thirty years old, most of them are gradually immersed in it.

There are only a very few family elders who are as old as him and have gone through the years, and they did not try it for the first time, but looked at the surrounding clansmen with complicated eyes like him, and their eyes were full of prudence and dissatisfaction.

…… Oh, I almost overlooked, even among the juniors, there is one person who doesn't use the semi-access mode.

The young man, Fernando, was swiping his fingers across the screen of his mobile phone simulated by the terminal device with a serious face, using this method of ingesting information in a way that far lagged behind the semi-access mode.

Robles' brow furrowed slightly.

He coughed softly.

"Ahem—"

This light cough was like thunder, causing many family members who were still immersed in the half-connected virtual world to shake their bodies, and immediately cut off the virtual experience and returned to reality.

Even if there are still a few people who have not come back to their senses, they have come to their senses under the action of the people around them pulling the hem of their clothes, and they have taken off the equipment in some embarrassment.

Robles pretended not to see their small movements, and there was no movement in his eyes.

But at the same time, he had already divided the ranks on a list in his mind according to the reactions of those family members, and secretly arranged the future and fate of these people.

He looked at Fernando:

"Fernando, the announcement about the new ruler just now...... What are your thoughts? ”

He asked the young man kindly.

Fernando smiled.

"Navalry's announcement in the hologram was after Uncle Robles revealed that he wanted to communicate with him through the 'Sentinel' - and before that, his speech had been cut off for dozens of seconds.

"I think it's a sign, a sign that he did hear his uncle's willingness to cooperate. And his subsequent speech through the hologram of the national announcement is his response to his uncle's wishes after careful consideration. ”

In a few words, Fernando turned the embarrassment of Robles's initiative to communicate but was ignored into another statement that seemed reasonable.

But Robles was unmoved, and asked:

"Oh, what's the response?"

Fernando seems to have thought about this question for a long time:

"—a response to confirm whether we in Canbert have the strength to cooperate with him."

He went on to explain fluently:

"For the rulers at the highest levels of the state, the system itself is only a tool for the realization of one's own goals and desires, and there is no difference in essence whether it is nominally private or public. But for the bottom majority, they will throw themselves into the hypocritical slogans of 'common property' and 'equal wealth' in pursuit of short-sighted, short-term interests.

“…… I don't think that Lord Navalli is a fanatical utopian who just wants to carry out some kind of social practice. He is also interested to see what kind of ideological power our media system and propaganda tools can have in the midst of such a great debate and voting without discrimination among the people, and whether they can reverse the majority people's pursuit of equal wealth and ultimately allow the United States to maintain the great private ownership of capital.

"If we can do that, it will undoubtedly be more valued by him for the power we have in our hands - but there is also a possibility that he wants us to expose all his power, so that he can sweep us away without any worries."

Fernando's words were so high-spirited at first that everyone around him was beaming. But at the end, the atmosphere of another possibility suddenly took a sharp turn, and the others became nervous, looking at the terminal equipment that they had just arrived and deformed from the "sentinel detective".

However, his expression remained the same at both the beginning and the end, as if he did not know that he was surrounded by a large number of Navalry's "eyes and ears".

Robles, quietly listening to what he had to say, asked:

"So, Fernando—what's your conclusion?"

Fernando raised his head.

"All out, of course!

"From now on, it's time to work with the other families to make the American people aware of the value of the current system — and at the same time, to make that Navalli know the legitimacy of our elites." Let him know that he may be able to destroy a 'Campert', but that the country will always call and need the next 'Campert'. And we can be his most powerful assistants! ”

Robles stared at the confident faces of the young man.

He finally smiled.

“…… Very good.

"Fernando, leave this matter to you. I can promise you if I can do it perfectly. Then, you will become the Vice President of the 'Campert Foundation'! ”
