Everybody laughs at New York.

If you think about it, no matter how chaotic New York is, it is also a good place.

There are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and there are many places with worse crime rates and levels than New York, and many more places are even in the midst of war, not to mention that New York is still the world's largest economic, technological and financial center.

Latvia is at the other extreme, where there is poverty, chaos, and war.

And because of its poverty, backwardness and barbarism, there is not even much information about it on the Internet.

The world is not peaceful, it's just that Lille is lucky and happens to be born in a good place.

The next night, after encapsulating the driver of the chip into a CD and handing it over to Mr. Wang, he set off for George's invitation.

On the way to George's house, Lille was a little silent - for some reason, he always felt that he might return to that "home" one day.

George's family lives in a different location than a poor family like Lille.

It's a place full of gold, the roads are full of high-end cars, and the streets below the apartments are regularly cleaned to ensure that the people here are happy to live in.

Walking here, you can hardly feel the horror of the financial crisis – people just seem to be busy.

George was waiting for Lille downstairs, and when he saw the guests visiting, Lao Yuan smiled and waved his hand:

"Welcome, Lille, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's still the same as it was - it's definitely enough to help you clean up the evil criminals in New York City."

"Ambitious, I like it."

It seems that the sheriff has just gotten off work, and he hasn't taken off his police uniform.

The two walked into the Stacy family's one-house together, George took off his coat, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Gwen? Helen? ”

A well-maintained middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen, and the two embraced.

"Where's Gwen?" George asked.

Mrs. Helen also called out her daughter's name, but did not get a response: "She said that the club has activities and may not have come back yet." ”

"It's too late – that's my daughter, and she's a little energetic." George explained, and began to introduce the two of them.

"Not to mention that, this is our guest today, Lille Lee, the little hero who helped me solve the big problem in Hell's Kitchen.

Lille, this is my wife, Helen. ”

"It's nice to meet you, ma'am, you look so young."

"It's so sweet, okay, sit down, the meal is ready."

Lille sat back in his chair and thought to himself that he wouldn't be able to see Gwenstacy today—but it didn't make much of a difference.

I'm not here to chase stars, it's still important to get down to business.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Stacy was very positive: "Lille, I heard George say that you started your own company?" ”

"Yes, the same consulting firm that recently provided equipment and technical support for the NYPD."

Helen leaned back slightly: "Then you are really amazing, how old are you this year?" You look very... Young. ”

"Just an adult."

Helen leaned back even more: "Wow... You're even better than I thought, and it sounds like a genius like Tony Stark - where are you studying now? ”

"Uhhhhh

I'm not studying.

"Well, I'm actually... I was in a coma for two years and just woke up from a serious illness, so. ”

Lille spreads his hands.

Helen was stunned.

She asked cautiously, "I've heard... Are your family immigrants? ”

Lille admitted: "Yes, but under American law, I should be considered a local - of course, maybe not so local." ”

A little bit of genius - even if it's as smart as Tony Stark is not unacceptable.

But that's a bit of an exaggeration – two years in a coma means that his mind is actually only about 16 years old.

At the age of 16, I can understand technology - genius.

But it's normal to mature at 18 years old, but at 16 years old... The two-year-old gap could be comparable to 20 years.

In terms of the state of Lille's speech and conversation... Unlike 16, at least 26 - no, the tone of Lille's speech was in the presence of a 36-year-old, and Helen also felt normal.

18 years old mature some normal, but 16 years old... The two-year-old gap could be comparable to 20 years.

What's even more exaggerated is that Lille's parents are first-generation immigrants, where did they get the money to give him a good education?

Seeing that the rapport ended unexpectedly, George also realized the problem.

He chewed two mouthfuls of food, thought for a moment, and said, "Helen, can you go and call Gwen?" ”

"Okay..."Helen was still thinking about Lille when she left.

It wasn't until Helen was gone that George felt a little more normal - for some reason, he felt a lot more comfortable talking to Lille.

If you think about it, Helen's shocks are also his shocks, except that he is more focused when he only talks about business.

"Your identification monitoring network is very useful, and the mayor is very happy to see it, and the government thinks that we need to deepen cooperation in this area--

I convinced them, but is it acceptable on your side? I mean, your company... The scale may be a little small. ”

Lille smiled, "Sheriff, you know in this wave... How many people lost their jobs in the financial crisis?

As long as I have a job, I can find a bunch of people who can install cameras - all I need to do is find an assembly plant.

Coincidentally, such factories with no work are also everywhere. ”

"When it comes to unemployment, this is the mayor's biggest headache, but it's a good thing for you, or you guys have a way to engage in technology."

Lille smiled.

Rationally, he thinks mass unemployment is the most incomprehensible thing – although the reality is that every once in a while, it happens.

Things that can't be avoided can only be understood by trying to understand, so organizing production is also something he is good at.

Lille added, "Sheriff, speaking of technology, I'm going to upgrade our software system, but these features may be a little sensitive. ”

George raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it." ”

Lille straightened up, and he had to use a set of prepared words to win George's support.

As the saying goes, people are compromises - if he just says that the house is too dark and needs to open a window, everyone must not allow it.

But if you advocate removing the roof, they will be more receptive to the idea of opening the windows.

"It's a set, a smart city system – with this kind of system, we can make traffic jams less and more efficient, and I'm sure the mayor will love that.

With traffic data, we can speculate on the likelihood of crime and the potential crime based on the connection between traffic data and the location where the crime occurred. ”

George's brow furrowed, but he didn't stop.

Lille continues: "Traffic data is just the basics, and we will soon be equipped with a new image processing chip that will be able to better handle the details of the faces captured by the camera.

It is possible to link each person's course of action to the crime and reason about it.

Not only that, but if you are willing to open up the public safety information database, we can also prevent crime based on information such as professional information and family circumstances..."

"Lille." George interrupted suddenly, "It's sensitive. ”

"I know, it's sensitive – but you think about it, if a person has a profession and his profession is an office clerk and he works at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Then it's problematic that he's in a dark alley at this time - if there happens to be a crime in the neighborhood...

Think about the possibility, with enough data, we can trace more leads--"

"Sounds like it's replacing the police function."

"Of course not — the cameras don't arrest people themselves, and that's just a speculation, not a conviction."

George propped his chin in thought for a moment, then moved and sighed.

"Lille, you know what, this sounds like a special New York State version of the Patriot Act, and I'm sure the mayor would love the proposal.

But the question is... The people of New York are not going to support such a bill, and it's dangerous. ”

The Patriot Act, the bill signed after the Twin Towers incident, was quite controversial.

The core content of the bill can be glimpsed from the perspectives of both sides of the debate:

Proponents argue that if you're patriotic and not a criminal and a terrorist, then why should you be afraid of federal access to your personal privacy?

Opponents argue otherwise, patriotism and personal privacy can coexist.

"I know—so sheriff, I'm talking to you because I believe in you, a man of integrity, but if you think the plan is too problematic.

Then stop at traffic control – making there less traffic jams and fewer car accidents should be something that everyone wants to see.

In addition to these, it can also help you automatically check your driver's license, track the vehicle that caused the accident, and drive drunk..."

"I haven't agreed yet, Lille."

George pinched his eyebrows—but what Lille said did get to his heart.

In the United States, there is no traffic police, and traffic control is only one of the tasks of the NYPD, which is a headache.

If this system is really that powerful, it can really reduce a lot of work.

Who doesn't hate bastards who change lanes at will, speeding, hit-and-run, dangerous driving, drunk driving, and even drug driving?

Relatively speaking, this is a gentler and better-sounding solution.

"But it's a good one."
