Chapter 187: The Spirit of Resistance

“…… As for the new leader of the United States, Navaly, despite the fact that he has used unprecedented force to subdue all opponents, uprooting the United States government, which was still in office until 5 p.m....... But at the beginning of his tenure, there were many troubling elements in his style of conduct and policies......

“…… As this clash clip from the virtual world 'forum' he created illustrates, a man's abuse and attacks on AI led to the deactivation of his account and the freezing of his account on the 'All Information Platform'...... Even if the former seems excusable. But let's not forget that in the 'new America' that Mr. Navalli has planned, this thing called the 'full information platform' will integrate all the previous government platforms such as identity authentication, driver's licenses, social security systems, etc. Once frozen, even temporarily, it is a drastic measure that can be used to punish the perpetrators......"

On the evening TV show, the Fox editorial's anchor talks in front of the screen, wearing a red tie that looks a little bright, which matches the face that makes a sharp impression at first glance.

Penny stared at the face on the TV screen, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly.

“…… Lucy, this seems to be our business......"

The AI in the personal terminal was silent and did not answer.

Under Navalli's control, the current American online world seems to be divided into two existences.

One is a virtual world centered on an all-information platform with its own rules. In that world, AI and humans are both walking on the path of electronism in near-real avatars, and under Navalli, everyone is equal, even as equal as AI.

Then there is the old-time Internet, which he has not yet abolished, a mix of media systems, where people are prey to big mouthpieces and seemingly fair social networking sites, and what comes out of their mouths is only what the big organizations want to believe.

Although the former is visibly more egalitarian than the latter, the virtual world still lacks much accumulation of human interaction, and Navalli has not announced the abolition of all the network systems of the past, so many people are still accustomed to living on the latter network. Although they are dazzled by the virtual world "forum" and the all-information platform, it has become a habit of their thinking to be conquered and indoctrinated by others, and it has not been impossible to change it in the first place.

- Before the mind and spirit are completely sublimated, even if the proletarian smashes the chains on his body, he will tie new chains to himself, and so it is.

These are the self-evident truths of Navalli and the differentiated AI. But "Lucy" didn't say it.

Because Navalli asked it to remain silent about it for the time being.

Not only the "Lucy" around Penny, but even the "portable universal AI" around all American citizens.

There is no need to say it.

Because the virtual world "forum" and the all-information platform already exist and will continue to exist. They will become impassable towers in the world, and people will passively follow them, changing their habits, social rules, and all sorts of things.

Whether people want it or not, they will eventually become the "standard citizens" that Navalli wants, which is an irreversible trend.

Moreover, some people who are agitating behind the scenes do not know that no matter how loud public opinion is, it may only become a way to "lure the snake out of the hole......

“…… There are also ...... here And here...... Why is it everywhere? ”

Penny was stunned to tune the channel, watching the host programs on one TV station after another, and gradually, she became empty-hearted.

She didn't expect that this kind of thing that happened by chance in the "forum" would be magnified in this way, and it would unknowingly become a hot topic of public discussion.

Penny's expression began to be a little flustered, and she held her personal terminal and asked "Lucy" cowardly:

"'Lucy'...... What are we going to do...... Need to apologize to that man? But it was obviously his mistake that he scolded us there first......"

"Lucy" finally didn't remain silent anymore.

“…… Don't worry, Penny. ”

"Well, but ......"

"It doesn't matter, because public opinion like this will be dissipated in less than a day."

"Lucy" makes a precise judgment about Penny.

And this is indeed the tangible conclusion it has obtained from the amount of information and information from the branch to the main brain through the highest intelligence controlled by Navalli.

Hearing its words, the flustered expression on Penny's face was obviously much calmer.

'Really?' Lucy', will you be okay tomorrow? ”

"Yes...... Penny. ”

Because tomorrow there will be news that is a thousand times more shocking than the explosive, which will attract everyone's attention...... "Lucy" silently added in her heart.

Then, it says:

"Penny, don't read these annoying messages, how about it, are you going to go to the 'forum' and continue playing? If you go to the 'personal channel', you won't have to worry about being disturbed by others, and you won't have to worry about it again. ”

Penny's face turned cloudy to clear, as if she thought of a unique experience in the virtual world, and a smile spread on her face, leaving all the distractions of public opinion behind.

"Hmm...... Great! I'd also like to try the 'Virtual Roller Coaster' and 'Virtual Bungee Jumping'! That's just so exciting!! ”

……

Just when Penny re-entered the virtual world in order to get rid of the turmoil of public opinion, and enjoyed the entertainment with a high degree of realism, "Lucy" was not idle.

No, not only "Lucy", but also all the "portable universal AI" configured on personal terminals in the United States, including her, are working and running, clearly distinguishing the hundreds of millions of huge information traffic on the old Internet, and every byte of traffic is under its monitoring and control.

And those analyses and public opinion disturbances were also accurately quantified and ingested into Navalry's consciousness.

“…… Starting from the experience of 'standard citizen' Kevin Strange in the 'forum', several mainstream TV stations broadcast it, and tens of thousands of Internet self-media issued notices, causing at least 12 million American 'standard citizens' distrust of AI rights and panic about the dispossession of individual rights in the shortest possible time, and such panic has been widely spread since then, and is now spreading geometrically......

“…… In addition to Kevin Strange, more people have deliberately insulted AI in the 'forum', violated the ban, and recorded this series of scenes, and after they were stripped of their 'forum' access qualifications, they posted the video on the old Internet to exaggerate opposition, and so far more than 5,762 'standard citizens' have left the scene, and this number is still growing......

“…… According to the analysis, this is an act of stress under the implicit dissatisfaction with the 'new American' rule, because the 'portable AI' has been seen as a member of the 'new American' ruling class, and the provocation against them is full of nostalgia and attachment to the old America that still existed until yesterday...... In addition, since the conquest of the mechanical army was too smooth and the suppression of force was too direct, all possibilities of physical rebellion were eliminated in the first place, so the provocation in the 'forum' is also an ideological rebellion under the constraints of force......

“…… At the same time, there are several big promoters behind this flow of public opinion, on the one hand, they use it to promote unrest in the American 'standard citizen' group, so that more rebels emerge in order to fight for the profit space they can gain in it...... On the other hand, they linked 'AI rights' to all systems, implanting the equation of 'wanting co-ownership = wanting to expand administrative rights = wanting to plunge humanity into AI tyranny' in articles and media reviews, and finally coming to the conclusion that 'only private ownership can defend human interests'...... This conclusion, in line with the "American Dream" of the "old America" for hundreds of years, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for the first time, and the current public opinion and community exchanges have been biased towards the continuation of "private ownership", and the referendum of the "forum" will allow the old system to continue smoothly......"

“…… According to the construction of the traffic model and the public opinion hierarchy model, it is analyzed and verified that the behind-the-scenes manipulators of these public opinions are presumed to be as follows: ......"

In the dark night, Navalli's eyes lit up, and it was a photoelectric signal that was constantly passing through his body.

As his abilities became more and more powerful, he became less and less human, but like a combination of some kind of machine and human body, controlling everything on nearly 10 million square kilometers through electronic impulses.

The information gathered through the "portable universal AI" shuttles through the quantum tunnel of the gradually quantized brain, and Navali understands everything in an instant.

Robles...... Fernando ......"

He read the names softly, and there was not a trace of emotion in his voice.

He just shook his head slightly.

“…… What you're doing now is meaningless...... Wait until tomorrow...... You'll know. ”

Then, he closed his eyes slightly, allowing the more intense electronic impulses to pass through him, and the virtual world in his mind became larger and larger.
