Blackstone Code

In the large conference hall of the Bupen Hotel, everyone stayed in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast on the TV.

Originally, they were watching in the campaign office, but more and more people came, and Connor finally had to change the location to the third floor of the Bupen Hotel.

Lin Qi took a casual look and found that there were at least a hundred people there, most of whom he knew.

Like the bowling president.

As the first Progressive Party president after the federation withdrew from isolationism, he actually played a very important role.

Moreover, he is also an important member of the Progressive Party and a former federal president, so it is necessary to go to the scene to cheer for Connor.

Gladstone also came. This time he did not stand so forcefully beside Connor or even press him down. Instead, he found an inconspicuous position and stood, supporting his chin with one hand and holding his chest with the other. Watching the counting of votes silently.

This is a very arduous process. There are currently a total of fifteen states' ballots sent to Congress, and the total number of votes totaling at least 12 million.

The number of female voters in this year's electorate has increased significantly. During the war, women achieved unprecedented development on economic issues.

Therefore, more effective female voters are born, and they are also a part of the people with greater suspense in this election.

No one knows who they will like.

The federation implements a "direct presidential election" system. To put it simply, legal voters only need to mark one of the names of many candidates.

If there is no check or if more than one person is checked, it will be regarded as an automatic abstention.

The person with the most valid votes will become the new federal president.

Of course, if someone asks, what if the votes are tied?

In fact, this is almost absolutely impossible, but if it does happen, the Senate and the House of Representatives will vote to determine the winner.

Moreover, this time a "correction" for overseas voting has been added, so the possibility of a tie vote is basically zero.

Congress was already busy at this time. Under the watchful eyes of the speakers of both houses, the staff broke the seals, took out the ballots, and counted them.

There are many statistical "windows" on site, and there are people specifically responsible for "voting" through electronically controlled lights. All processes will be recorded to deal with various unexpected events that may occur.

For example, some people refuse to admit defeat and think that the votes were cheated.

The counting speed is not very fast, but the advantage is that there are many people, and the votes are being counted in more than one place.

Senators formed a "patrol" and went around the different rooms.

The first votes to be counted were the votes in Bupain's home state, and everyone was very nervous.

Looking at the birth of every president in the past in the federation, there will be an obvious indicator, and that is the result of the state election!

As the federal economic, political and cultural center, Bupen can be said to be a huge weather vane.

No matter which aspect it is, it has a certain representative significance!

Once local votes are counted, there won't be that many people here.

The entire vote counting process will last about two weeks. Because overseas voting has been added this year, although it will not be counted in the actual valid votes, the result will be slightly revised due to the overall voting ratio.

This also takes time.

Connor was very nervous. He held his wife's hand tightly and his body was shaking slightly.

Lynch noticed that he was shaking his legs.

Maybe I was too nervous, so I did this.

The three-color lights on the scene lit up alternately. Connor's blue light, the Conservative Party's yellow light, and the Socialist Party's... green light.

These lights are not only a way to "call votes", but are actually a statistical device.

There are two types of on-site recording: manual recording and machine recording. After counting each box of ballots, the number of manually recorded votes must match the number of votes recorded by the machine before proceeding to the next box. Otherwise, the results will be considered invalid and the votes will be counted again.

On the big screen, Connor's votes began to gradually improve, surpassing his opponents after being relatively entangled in the initial stage.

Connor waved his fist vigorously, and the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed.

If the local vote can be won with a large number of votes, then the election is basically guaranteed.

If the difference between the two in the local vote results is not many and the gap is not big, there may be a lot of suspense in the follow-up!

Counting votes is boring, but everyone is watching the changes in each vote!

During this period, several gentlemen left obviously feeling unwell. These were old gentlemen, and their hearts could not bear such a depressing atmosphere.

Chest tightness and suffocation forced me to leave the game early, including the bowling president.

He had aged terribly in the past two years, and left early after saying hello to Connor and others.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the counting of more than one million local votes ended. Connor got the first result with a lead of nearly 200,000 votes, 640,000 to 430,000.

This result looks very good, but people who are sensitive to numbers actually know that the gap between the two is not as big as imagined.

Because the Conservative Party only needs to win the votes of 100,000 more voters to tie it.

But victory is victory after all. Connor, who had been shaking his legs for a whole day, stood up abruptly and almost fell down.

Fortunately, his wife helped him in time.

"I'm hungry. It seems we didn't eat lunch?"

This may be an excuse, or it may be that he is really hungry.

The lunch provided by the hotel is a cold meal. Two long dining tables were set up with some food on them.

No one was in the mood to eat or drink. They only ate a little and then immersed themselves in the tense emotions and environment.

Connor patted his legs and stood up again, "I'm really hungry, I can eat a whole cow now!"

"Champagne, steak, let them all come up!"

“It’s not the time to celebrate yet, but I can’t help but want some!”

Champagne is often used on celebratory occasions. Of course, it is not impossible to use champagne on non-celebratory occasions, but not very much.

Some people are not particular and can have a drink at any time, but some people are very particular.

Connor wanted to use champagne to get a good "meaning", and the hotel immediately began to make arrangements, and a large amount of delicious food was served to the table.

Connor and his wife walked among the others, clinking glasses and saying some blessings in the hope of better results in the future.

"Thank you for helping me, Lynch..." Connor and his wife walked over to Lynch and raised their wine glasses.

It can be seen that he is indeed sincere and very happy.

Lynch clinked glasses with him, "We all see your efforts, and no one is more suitable for the current Federation than you."

"If you can't win, then there must be something shady about this election!"

Connor couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He liked Lynch.

It will be very easy and pleasant to get along with Lynch. Lynch is very funny and humorous. The most important thing is that Lynch seems to be able to read his mind!

This is a confidant!

"Thank you, I don't know what else to say except thank you!"

He and his wife raised a glass and shared a sip of champagne with Lynch, then simply told him to eat more and went to the next person.

Lynch returned to the table and selected some more steaks. He was still a little hungry...

After the votes in Bupen's home state were tallied, most media believed that Connor would definitely win the election, and the atmosphere in society was also very relaxed.

The election campaign that lasted for half a year has finally come to an end, and everyone is enthusiastically discussing their speculations about the future.

In the new year, someone is about to step onto the highlight stage of life.

There are also people who are struggling in hell to look up to the light.

"Island" is not an island, but an archipelago.

After months of intense preparations, the "stage" for "Crysis" has been set.

In order to ensure that the game process can be fully captured to the greatest extent, the program team installed a total of more than 41,000 cameras on the island.

These cameras can cover the entire island. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the island itself is not too big.

During testing, there was approximately three to five percent blind spot.

To fill this 5% dead space, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of cameras are needed.

Money is not the key, the key is that time is too late.

The subsequent islands will need to be drawn in more detail. With the experience of the first island, this show will only get better and better!

On the first weekend of January, all the contestants had arrived at a place on the outskirts of the island that was used to prepare the contestants.

Players, and their teams, gather here.

This is also the first time they have actually obtained a detailed map of the island, and each team is studying strategies.

However, there are also some people who do not have a team to follow them. They are alone studying some materials from an isolated island.

Not all players are in teams, and at this moment all independent players realize the benefits of having a team.

They have more brains and can analyze more hidden things through limited intelligence, unlike them "lone wolves" who can't see anything out of the materials.

"Hey……"

Alice was a little distracted, and the sound beside her made her turn around subconsciously. A guy who looked about thirty years old and had very professional equipment walked towards her.

"I am...", he introduced himself, and Alice looked at him without speaking.

As a killer who fought her way out of "training camp," she's not as stupid as she appears.

However, appearance is indeed her sharpest weapon. She has carried out more than 20 missions so far, and most of them relied on her beauty to solve troubles.

On missions, her eyebrows are her best weapon, but outside of missions, they are also her biggest trouble.

This world is far less safe than people see it.

At least it is not as safe as the Federation people think, even though the Federation people think it is not very safe.

Alice didn't respond. The visitor pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, "I noticed that you are alone..."

He raised his hands slightly, then lowered them, and patted his thighs on both sides of his body, looking very frustrated, "And many people around us have teams, and I even heard that some people have already formed a team. …”
