Navalli's voice, along with the words on the stele, was finally reaching the end.

"The above, that is, the 'L-PDE' model implementation bill, the implementation ratio delineated in the bill is dynamically balanced according to the concentration of social wealth, and the proportion will be redivided every year."

This concludes the content of Act Zero.

But the nation's standard citizens have fallen into unprecedented silence.

"This ...... This ......"

Fernando's mind went blank, as if he had malaria, and he trembled and turned his head to look at Robles beside him, whose face turned red, then blue, and finally pale—he had even forgotten that it was a virtual world that could blur his face.

Not only Fernando, but everyone else in the bubble scene also focused their trembling eyes on Robles, at this moment, this old man was the backbone of everyone, and everyone put their eyes on him with almost dementia, like a group of lost sheep looking at the sheepdogs blankly.

…… How could there be such a thing???

…… How could a bill like that be introduced?!!

…… It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!!

Thousands of people looked at Robles at the same time, and the latter, who lived up to expectations, stood up with full anger, and roared angrily:

"—This is tyranny!"

“…… Mr. Robles is right! ”

"This is tyranny!"

"Nero would not have had such a terrible thought!"

"We must oppose it, and we must not allow such an unreasonable bill to be promoted-"

Everyone reacted and echoed angrily, but just as everyone was in a hurry, Fernando, who had been sitting in place, suddenly noticed that something was flashing in the corner of the space in front of him.

Subconsciously clicked on it, and seeing the content inside, Fernando's eyes widened again, and in addition to him, many other people seemed to have received the same content, and they all exclaimed:

"This month's National Standard Citizen Wealth Level Unified Calculation Ranking has been released, and according to the calculation, the standard citizen wealth ranking is as follows:

1st place: ......

2nd Place: ......

"3rd place: ......

"Fourth place: Robles Campert, whose wealth is calculated at 1,352 billion credits.

"Fifth place: ......

"Ninety-five million three hundred and seventy-seven: Fernando Campert."

"Next, three hours later, the names of the deceased people of the month will be selected from the above list."

Seeing these cold words, Fernando's pupils instantly constricted.

……

"Isn't that cruel?"

In the information space where only Navali and "Lucy" existed, she spoke to Navalli for the first time in a long time, and there was a hint of doubt in her sad voice.

"I simulated it with a lot of data, and this kind of bill is too simple and crude...... And it can lead to a lot of negative situations, and it's not a good solution from a sociological, economic, or phenomenological point of view.

“…… And, if it's up to us to decide to eliminate inequality, why not move in a more equitable and reasonable direction? For example, condemning and punishing those who make ill-gotten gains, and accommodating the fruits of wealth based on intelligence and effort? ”

Hearing the voice of "Lucy", Navalli fell silent for a moment.

Then he replied:

"The more complex the legal system and social structure, the more likely it is to create stratification of human beings. Wealth-existential risk, this is a moderating mechanism with only two parameters, but if more parameters are added, the complexity is not increased by half, nor is it multiplied, but it rises exponentially.

“…… Since we have to face the most essential human being, the desire for survival at the genetic level, then the other parameters are basically superfluous - morality, human nature, sentiment, and faith...... These vague parameters only increase the arbitrage space for some, and then become a tool to squeeze others.

So it is better to follow the simplest formula, linking wealth, or possession of resources, to existential risk. If someone is willing to endure a high enough mortality rate to insist on possession of wealth, then this can also be an option...... Genes like this, over hundreds or thousands of years, are naturally optimized by natural selection. ”

"But...... There are still some bugs here, such as some babies or incapacitated people, who inherit a large amount of wealth and become candidates on the list, but they themselves do not have the ability to control this wealth? ”

Lucy questioned in a puzzled voice.

"I will propose a supplementary bill to provide a specific interpretation of the bill on the 'effective disposition' of wealth."

"In addition, some corporate equity plans stipulate a structure that allows a controlling stake to be achieved with a lower shareholding, as well as some soft things that can have an impact on social resources – such as reputation, social status, public influence...... How do they manifest themselves? ”

"That's why I'll use 'credits' to distinguish – that's what differentiates credits from past currencies." 'Credit', which represents the public's permission to allocate resources...... For many things that cannot be measured by simple values, first of all, they can be divided into material and spiritual influences, such as the special design of the company's shareholding structure, which can be controlled by one percent of the shares, and for this part of the implicit power, I will make a real-time integrated calculation according to the market situation, and give it its due credit value that is much greater than one percent of the value of the shares...... As for the influence of the spiritual level, it is not included in the calculation of credit points for the time being, but if it is used to transfer and obtain social resources, then credit points will be evaluated and calculated according to the degree of acquisition......"

……

Navalli and "Lucy" asked and answered, filling in all the loopholes in the "Bill Zero", and one supplementary bill after another was released in order to eliminate the shortcomings.

After a long time, when the framework of the rules in the calculation was basically perfected, Navalli finally stopped this Q&A activity.

Lucy's voice was gone, and she was back in charge of the "New America's" supreme brain, sending commands at trillions of commands per second.

Deep underground, Navalli's consciousness was once again united.

Feel the loneliness and peace.

Staring at the flickering light in the darkness, or the bits and pieces of darkness in the light, Navalli muttered to himself:

"Mr. Masipp...... And Julia. ”

In his mind, the faces of those two people appeared again.

"I am on the path to achieving your dream of equality...... But the form of this implementation should be completely different from the form you want. If you were still alive, perhaps the ones who would resist me the most.

“…… Because, from the very beginning, my goal was not equality...... It's the price. ”

The memories in his mind continued to recur, and Navalli recalled more distant memories, and his grandmother's wrinkled, serious face.

"The young man in the 'Toshkato' festival was sacrificed to the temple after a year of great glory and pleasure, and his life was sacrificed...... Perhaps, the seed in my heart has been planted long before I heard this story.

“…… Everything has a price, and gains and losses always go hand in hand. ”

Navali spoke quietly as if he were singing the words that his grandmother had always whispered in his ear as a child:

"Therefore, I will tie the weighing of the price of 'death' to the right end of the word 'wealth' to all the people of this country, and offer all that is therein to the great gods in the stars."

He silently closed his eyes, and the light and darkness vanished, leaving only the purest calm.

“…… The god of fate, Tezcatripoca, is my offering to you, and if you are pleased, write it on your pen. ”
