The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Chapter 22 Manipulating Public Opinion

The existence of the Terminator was finally known to the public.

After all, the casualties caused by the previous attack on the Capitol were too heavy, and all those who died were members of Congress. The arrival of the Terminator was also photographed by tourists and spread to the Internet.

This is no longer the past. With the rise of the Internet, a thing may spread throughout the entire earth within half an hour. Even if the official wants to impose a news blackout, it is almost impossible.

If it's a minor incident, it's okay to say that news control can still be blocked.

But in a large-scale vicious event like the previous Capitol attack, it is difficult to block information.

Tanks, helicopters, etc. all drove onto the streets, and rocket launchers and rifle grenades almost wiped out the Capitol. Unless the onlookers were all blind, or the United States really had MIBs and magical little silver lights, it would be impossible to eliminate such a large scale. The impact of adverse events.

As for the solution of blaming the terrorist attack and then choosing a chicken to kill the heaven, it is not impossible.

But the question is, which terrorist organization in the world is so powerful that it can send people to the U.S. capital and enter the U.S. Congress to carry out large-scale attacks, killing almost all members of the U.S. Congress?

If the United States dares to make such an announcement, I'm afraid the president's public approval rating will hit rock bottom the next day.

This is the United States, a beacon of oil boiling. How could it possibly suffer such large-scale terrorist attacks like the Middle East, Africa and South America?

Therefore, after some weighing, the Americans made the existence of the Terminator public, and also showed the "destroyed" Terminator to the news media and the public.

Of course, some minor disturbances inevitably occurred during the demonstration. For example, a Terminator whose body was intact but was shut down by the EMP bomb suddenly resumed action and attacked reporters on the scene. In the end, he was killed by the security guard. Quick reaction force takedowns and stuff like that.

This of course gave the American people great panic, but when they saw that the government and the military were still capable of destroying these things, the people quickly turned to support the government that announced that it would fight the Terminator.

Thanks to him, Chen Mo suddenly became the most popular figure in the United States, and the Terminator research project he led became the most well-known and popular existence in the United States.

A considerable number of people regard him as an American hero, because in the official propaganda of the United States, Chen Mo and his department began to track down the Terminator incident thirty years ago and have been fighting against them.

This has led a considerable number of people to believe that Chen Mo is a hero who protects the American people. He has been quietly working hard to fight against the Terminator and protect the safety of the American people.

This kind of public opinion is obviously what the government wants. At this time, the government does not want the people to lose trust in the government.

Because of this, Chen Mo quickly became a frequent guest on major TV stations and a star on the screen. He was interviewed by various media in an endless stream.

The two parties involved in politics have even extended an olive branch to him, saying that as long as he is willing to join one of the factions, they will spare no effort to support him. If Chen Mo has the idea of ​​​​entering politics, then he will be the next president of the United States.

However, Chen Mo showed no interest in this. He was only devoted to the Terminator and presided over various research works.

The politicians saw that they could not impress him, and they needed to devote their energy to fighting for the vacant seats in Congress, so they took no further action against Chen Mo. Except for sending people to persuade him from time to time, they almost put him aside.

However, even if the two political parties did not want to invest too much in this matter and wanted to keep Chen Mo out of the spotlight for a while, as his research on the Terminator project gradually began to yield results, Chen Mo once again began to show off in front of the public. Sense of presence.

Originally, technological breakthroughs were not that fast. For a project to produce some research results, it usually takes at least three to five years or even more than ten or twenty years.

Originally, both the senior management and the scholars involved in the research thought so, and they were all prepared for long-term investment.

However, compared to this world, the Terminator is only a few decades in the future, and it has a clear inheritance relationship and a very clear technological context.

This undoubtedly brings great convenience to scientists. They may indeed need to spend more than ten or twenty years to research these things, but if they just do reverse cracking, it will be much faster.

After all, the technology on the Terminator is not out of the scope of current human technology, and they are not unable to understand it.

Combined with the projects currently being researched in the laboratory, the two-phase confirmation and comparison revealed that many of the problems that originally plagued various research projects were no longer problems, and breakthroughs became a matter of course.

In the final analysis, the biggest problem when doing scientific research projects is the direction and not knowing what is correct and what can produce results.

If you know clearly what kind of goal you need to achieve, and have ready-made samples for reference, then science and technology will not make breakthroughs too quickly if they have sufficient funding and resource support.

Among them, network technology was the first to achieve results.

Although the firewall specifically targeted at Terminators under development is still being built, new network protocols and network models are readily available.

After the Internet giants obtained the network technology that humans would use in the future from Grace, they simply analyzed it briefly to understand what was going on, and then openly took it out and said it was a new scientific and technological achievement.

The medical aspect is no less generous. Although so far they have not been able to create high-performance prosthetics that can benefit ordinary people, or carry out human body modification and super-soldier enhancement, they can use some laboratory-level technology-verified prostheses to make ppt It is still very simple to fool the higher-level departments to continue sending money and fool the people who do not understand.

Just look at the few lucky and selected disabled soldiers on TV who, after being replaced with new prosthetics, become just like normal people. They can walk, sit or lie without any impact. They can also play ball, play the piano, and even... Return to the battlefield...

The public's emotions were suddenly aroused and they became full of confidence in the Terminator project.

This is just like the Apollo program during the Cold War. The success of the moon landing, which seemed to have nothing to do with ordinary people, served as an introduction, and the flourishing industries affected by the Apollo program fed back to the national economy and people's livelihood. As soon as I started to support the government, the situation seemed to suddenly improve.

In this seemingly flowery situation, Sarah took Dani to a famous attraction in New York - Hell's Kitchen.
