Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 2013 Metaverse...?

When Lin Sanjiu found Yu Yuan again, he was looking up at the real-time public speech of the seventeenth generation mayor of Peanut Town.

The appearance of the seventeenth-generation mayor is somewhat similar to the photo of the previous mayor hanging in the mayor's house; the difference is that he is more majestic and taller, and he can stir up countless people below him by raising his hand in the air. of cheers and applause.

Lin Sanjiu seemed to have caught up to the end of the mayor's speech.

The seventeenth-generation mayor on the screen is standing on the balcony of a magnificent building, with lights, crowds, and a scrolling headline of "The mayor delivers a celebratory speech" at his feet; in the night sky behind him, The fireworks slowly dispersed, and the mayor announced in a loud voice: "...With our joint construction, Peanut Town will definitely get better and better!"

Before he finished speaking, he was drowned out by the overwhelming applause below.

"What...what is going on?" Lin Sanjiu stepped closer, as if being hypnotized, it was difficult to look away from the screen, and for a moment he even forgot about the incident that had just happened. "Isn't there a seventeenth-generation mayor? Isn't this building the mayor's mansion?"

Once doubts begin, it's hard to put them back. "Aren't we in the mayor's mansion now? Where did the fireworks, speeches and crowds come from? I was upstairs just now, and it was as quiet as a tomb outside - ah, I understand, is this a video from before? Is he the mayor of the previous generation?”

Only then did Yu Yuan turn around and glance at her.

"No," his voice was soft, as if to make it easier for Lin Sanjiu to digest. "This is the seventeenth-generation mayor. According to this evening real-time news, the seventeenth-generation mayor is standing on the second-floor balcony above us at this moment, and has just finished speaking to the people gathered outside the house."

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, but no words came out. Silence once again flooded into the underground hall and the mayor's palace above, except for the faint sound of footsteps in the distance, probably belonging to Chief Krone's guard.

"……I do not understand."

"Tonight there is a long-planned celebration, mainly to celebrate that the population of Peanut Town has exceeded the 20,000 mark," Yu Yuan explained patiently.

What is this all about?

Yu Yuan looked at his watch and said: "Fifteen minutes ago, the seventeenth generation mayor stepped onto the balcony of the mayor's mansion and delivered a celebratory speech, which was broadcast live in real time. In addition to town officials and representatives, the attendees In addition, there are many lucky people who witnessed tonight’s fireworks.”

Lin Sanjiu almost suspected that there was something wrong with his brain. "what are you talking about?"

Yu Yuan laughed softly, gestured to the screen, and said: "If you are a citizen of Peanut Town and are using the 'tutoring machine', TV, radio and private telescreen, then this is the reality you live in. .”

"What?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't handle it anymore. "In other words, they all thought that the previous gun battle was actually setting off fireworks? The guards' search in the town was... organizing a celebration?"

"That's right," Yu Yuan turned away from the screen and said, "There was a gunfight in the safe and peaceful Peanut Town. Of course it was a rumor. According to some Peanut Town residents, 'Why didn't the gunfight kill the person who spread the rumor? ', 'A bullet hit your head? You knew it was a gunfight?'"

Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples vigorously several times. "Wait a minute, I don't understand. Even if the fireworks can be set off immediately, as long as they walk out and walk to the mayor's house to take a look, everything - oh, they won't be allowed to get close."

Yu Yuan stood silently in front of a large instrument, but just looked at it without moving.

"Is it possible that people whose homes have been searched by the town police before also..."

"'My house will receive the town guards tonight,'" Yu Yuan clicked a few times on the instrument and read a line of words on the screen: "'For such a big event, shouldn't we check it in advance to ensure safety? This is all If you can spread rumors, you definitely have bad intentions."

Lin Sanjiu was confused. "Did he really think so after his home was searched? Or was he covering it up?"

Yu Yuan looked back at her and said, "Who knows."

Lin Sanjiu found that there were always moments tonight when she opened her mouth but couldn't find anything to say.

"All these live broadcasts, news, images... are all generated by the 'Mayor Aoye' system," Yu Yuan looked at the instrument and said slowly: "Including the seventeenth generation mayor you saw. In Peanuts In the minds of the town people, the seventeenth generation of the mayor has been in office for more than ten years. There are countless records of meetings, speeches, inspections... In this town, you and I are just rumors, and the mayor is the truth .”

"Aren't you going to shut down this part of the system?" Lin Sanjiu took a while to recover from the shock and asked, "Why can it continue to generate these images? If it can't be shut down, we can destroy all these instruments."

Yu Yuan didn't say anything, but he held the edge of the machine with both hands and pulled it to the side - amidst the sound of metal friction, Lin Sanjiu's eyes revealed the row of machines behind it; or in other words, The machine that was supposed to appear behind it.

She couldn't tell how many machines the broken pieces in front of her actually were; Yu Yuan was obviously very careful during the destruction process. Wherever she looked, she couldn't see a single intact wire or a piece that wasn't broken into pieces. At least two halves of the chip board. A mountain-like pile of broken pieces reached her thighs.

"It's useless," Yu Yuan remained calm, but his calm at this moment was different from the calm he had when he was a data body. It was like a tightly stretched piece of cloth, with a smooth and smooth surface, and every fiber was covered by it. Stretched to the extreme. "I destroyed the core of this part, and I thought that the production of news, entertainment and educational content would also stop."

"Why didn't you stop?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly.

"The 'Mayor Aoye' system automatically allocated another part of the computing power responsible for people's livelihood and town affairs to replace the module I destroyed." Yu Yuan explained, "In other words, 'News, entertainment and education' are part of the system The most important and priority part, water, electricity and heating are not as important as this. If I destroy a machine, another machine will give up its original task and take over.

"The most important thing is that although the 'Mayor Aoye' system generates these things, the generated programs are a process of feeding each other."

Lin Sanjiu was too confused to understand: "Feeding each other? What do you mean?"

"The 'Mayor Oye' system is not a mature AI and has no self-awareness. It only acts according to some basic principles. For example, after the gunfire rang out, someone who lived far away asked on the public screen, 'Who was it just now? Didn't someone set off fireworks?', and then some people with higher status and more powerful words in the town began to come forward and say that they heard that the town was planning celebrations. The 'Mayor Aoye' system immediately followed the different opinions. The most appropriate explanation was given, an announcement of the celebration was made, and as the townspeople spread the word, the celebration became a 'reality'."

Yu Yuan sighed and laughed - while they were arguing back and forth with the housekeeper, the humming and huge group of machines had been running and working.

"Unless I destroy all the machines in the underground hall... But in that case, as the housekeeper said, the livelihood of the people of Peanut Town will not be guaranteed at all, and chaos, death and injury will be inevitable."

The word "housekeeper" finally stirred up Lin Sanjiu, and she remembered what she was doing back in the underground hall.

Strangely enough, she originally thought that this moment was another "key point", but until she finished talking about the murder of the housekeeper, the key point that made her choose Yu Yuan's behavior did not emerge.

"It doesn't make any difference whether the person living in the mayor's house is the mayor, Krone or the housekeeper," Yu Yuan frowned, his expression serious: "Because it is Aoye Town who actually maintains the operation of Peanut Town. system, all the residents of Peanut Town believe in the 'Seventeenth Mayor'... Judging from Krone's actions tonight, UU Reading www.uuｋkanshu.net I'm afraid he has no idea about the existence of the 'Mayor Oye' system It’s crystal clear…”

Lin Sanjiu raised her head suddenly.

"Those who master the 'Mayor Oye' system will master Peanut Town," she murmured. "Krang only needs to be a shadow controller. This means..."

After Crown gained control of the mayor's mansion, the first place he came to would be——

When my thoughts turned to this, the footsteps of a group of people and the light collision of machine guns were already pouring down the stairs like a tide; along with the order "here", a series of gunfire rang out immediately, ripples echoed on every side of the underground hall. The wall firmly trapped Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan in the center.

Recently I discovered that the censorship of Qidian has been intensified, and half of a composition I wrote before was deleted. I sometimes wonder, if Doomsday is removed from the shelves one day, will I not have to write the ending...? By the way, the title of today's chapter is very popular. Now I behave like an A-share. Unfortunately, the popularity is also the same as the A-share index, and the popularity cannot rise.
