Darkness is Coming

   After listening to Liu Zhongqian's explanation, Yang Xiaoqian's heart surged.

  Technology changes the world. After listening to this slogan for so many years, Yang Xiaoqian now has an intuitive understanding, because an actual example is happening right in front of him.

  Although Liu Zhongqian used words such as "try your best" and "strive for", Yang Xiaoqian believes that with Liu Yuanzhou's ability, it is not difficult to realize the initial plan mentioned by Liu Zhongqian.

  Presumably soon, everyone from the elderly to three-year-old children will be equipped with an affordable and convenient smart communication device. Old people and children can't use smartphones? It doesn't matter, then mass production of smart watches and smart bracelets does not require complicated designs or delicate functions, as long as it can complete basic functions such as making calls and sending text messages.

With the portable communication devices, the elderly and children can contact their families anytime and anywhere, which not only provides convenience for ordinary families, but also avoids many tragedies. News of the accidental death of an elderly person or a child at home is not uncommon. But as long as the zero-one base completes the initial planning, similar tragedies will not happen again soon.

It may be difficult for people to accept it at first, and some people may raise objections, but this is the general trend, the tide of the times will teach them to accept new things, and they will also rush to accept new things, because everyone knows that with If you don't keep pace with the times, you will be eliminated sooner or later.

Yang Xiaoqian's current perspective makes Yang Xiaoqian full of emotion. When the intelligent communication devices are widely popularized, the people will cheer: the country has become really strong, and the government has begun to provide benefits to the people. The cheers may be mixed with a few doubts, but they are insignificant. , those who see the essence of the problem may say that this is just a conspiracy of the government, a conspiracy to invade the privacy of citizens and limit the spiritual freedom of the people.

   But the perspective of the opponents is bound to be one-sided. They can only see that their mobile phones and computers have been tapped, but they will not see how many lives and tragedies have been saved by the "system" of Zero One Base after monitoring everyone.

   And Yang Xiaoqian's perspective is bound to be one-sided. How can a high-ranking person who can directly talk to the highest level of Zero One Base understand the true feelings of ordinary people?

It's like parents always like to say "I'm all for your own good" to their children. Yes, parents may really do it for the good of their children, and what parents do may indeed bring better choices to their children. However, in terms of expression and guidance, children may not be able to accept their parents' "being good to you".

   This analogy is a little simpler. The relationship between the government and the people is far more complicated than the relationship between parents and children, but one thing is common. A mature parent will not betray their children, and a wise government will not persecute their own people.

   Yang Xiaoqian believes that the Huaxia government has experienced many hardships and should be regarded as a "mature parent".

Of course, if there is light, there will be shadows. The existence of Zero One Base will definitely have more profound effects. Sooner or later, every outstanding technological invention will bring a certain degree of harm, but this is not what Yang Xiaoqian wants to consider. The problem, such a difficult problem, should be left to Chairman Wen and Liu Yuanzhou. After thinking for a long time, Yang Xiaoqian decided to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"I heard that the three major operators have organized many activities in order to cultivate long-term loyal customers. Among them, the most popular activity is to charge the phone bill and give away the phone bill. How much is the gift? Why don't they change it in the future? It definitely works better than a discount sale."

After   , Yang Xiaoqian smiled, but Liu Zhongqian and Yu Qian did not respond.

   "President Yang's proposal is one of our simulation plans." Liu Zhongqian said solemnly, then turned to look at Yu Qian with a dignified face, and said, "Speaker Yu, if you have any questions, please ask."

Yu Qian stiffened his face and said, "Originally, this issue was not my concern, but I am really curious. According to your plan, sooner or later, your monitoring scope will no longer be limited to Shanghai, but will be extended to the whole of China. Wrong? You will prevent more and more crimes, and there will be more and more insiders. Can you limit their impulse to explore answers? Paper can't contain fire! Do you want to restrict all insiders from talking about related things? Wouldn't that amount to building an invisible prison to keep everyone in? I don't know how powerful the so-called artificial intelligence is, but I think as long as your work continues, the people will realize sooner or later, What do you do? Have you ever heard the old saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it?"

  Yu Qian deliberately emphasized the word "boat", and Yang Xiaoqian could hear that he meant Liu Yuanzhou.

"Yes, after breaking through the current restrictions, the monitoring scope of the 'system' will gradually expand to the whole country. You are right, as the 'system' gradually interferes with ordinary people in society, sooner or later there will be people who know about it. People realize what happened, but I want to correct two points." Liu Zhongqian clenched his fingers, obviously a child, but when he made childish actions, he felt very inconsistent, as if mature and steady is what he should look like.

"First, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Silicate Research, Huaxia Academy of Sciences, is working on a new topic, which can produce high-temperature, non-combustible hydroxyapatite compounds to make paper, which can be used to cover fire. So people used to say that paper can't cover fire, just because the technology is not developed enough, as long as there is enough developed technology, paper can cover the fire, and we can always cover up the secret."

   "Second, water can carry a boat and capsize it. This sentence is not correct. Now there is a kind of boat called a nuclear submarine."

   "Pfft." Yang Xiaoqian laughed out loud when he was amused by Liu Zhongqian, and then saw Liu Zhongqian's serious expression, and realized that what Liu Zhongqian just said was not a joke, but a metaphor.

Yu Qian's not-so-good-looking face became even more ugly, Yang Xiaoqian patted Yu Qian's shoulder, gave him a look, signaled him not to misunderstand, and then explained: "This kind of worry is actually unnecessary, it's hard to tell other countries, it needs to be specific. Specific analysis, but with the current national conditions of Huaxia, even if the people know that the Zero One base has been monitoring everyone, most people will not have an overreaction. Do you want to ask why?"

Noticing Yu Qian's little gesture of pouting, Yang Xiaoqian rushed to explain before he said "I don't want to ask": "Because Liu Zhongqian just said that all the information in Zero One Base can only be viewed by the 'system' and operators, and it is inevitable to change to other institutions. There will be people of high enough rank who will steal information for personal gain, but under Liu Yuanzhou's eyes, I don't think anyone can succeed. Since no one else can read everyone's private information, isn't privacy still privacy?"

   "Huh?" Yu Qian seemed to understand but not understand.

  Yang Xiaoqian pointed to the ceiling above his head and said, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The ancients said that there are gods when you raise your head three feet. Why has no one ever cared whether the "gods" in high places have stolen their privacy?"

   "Because..." Yu Qian hesitated, "The gap between them is too big?"

"Of course there is this reason, but the more important reason is that the gods don't care what people do, and they have no interest in infringing on people's interests. For ordinary people, isn't the national government the **** above? The government monitors everyone. , but in addition to monitoring agencies, no one else can view other people's privacy, and the government is not interested in your private life, as long as you don't commit crimes, it will have no impact. On this premise, if you are an ordinary person, you will Do you oppose the Zero One Base? You must know that once the Zero One Base succeeds, it means that there will be no more unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and all kinds of crimes will disappear completely, which will not only infringe on your personal rights, but will make your life safer."

   "Yes, there will always be people who object for various reasons."

   "Yes, but Zero One Base doesn't need everyone's support." Liu Zhongqian replied for Yang Xiaoqian.
