This big meal almost overwhelmed Ye Lu. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that she recovered from her sluggish state. Considering the special nature of those tree roots, Song Lan didn't sleep well that night. He Paying close attention to Ye Heron's digestion, by the time the little girl was resurrected with full blood, it was almost dawn outside.
Fortunately, there were a group of migrant workers accompanying him in the building opposite. Until Ye Lu's lower abdomen became flat and he was almost too sleepy to hold on, those hard-working workers still stuck to their posts, and anti-fatigue drugs seemed to have become their snacks.
This can't help but make Song Lan wonder what this kind of life is for. In this regard, Lu Xiang's explanation is that the migrant workers in the first district are far better than ordinary people. In order to allow them to maintain more efficient and longer-lasting work efficiency, the company will replace most of the parts in their bodies in the first year of work. Once again, some of these implantable prostheses can not only maintain their physical health during long periods of work, but can also suppress their desires to a great extent, making them a group of peaceful workers.
"Aren't they no different from robots?" Song Lan yawned.
"Yes." Lu Xiang did not deny this statement.
"Prostheses used in work and daily life are different from military-grade prostheses. Even if a large number of implants are carried out, they will rarely cause cyberpsychosis. Some experts believe that this kind of mental illness is related to the person's own thoughts and desires." She said. I remember that when I was in school at Daystar, I heard lectures given by experts who studied such diseases in school. They believed that many human sufferings come from unsatisfied desires, whether for wealth, power, or sex. This instinctive need, as long as these desires are cut off, can greatly reduce the probability of cyberpsychosis.
"Looking back now, many of their theories have been used in real life. Many work-oriented operating systems on the market now have the function of suppressing desires."
"Then they might as well replace all their employees with artificial intelligence."
"Because the Artificial Intelligence Law prohibits this, the Council clearly stipulates the usage rate of artificial intelligence for each type of company." Without laws related to artificial intelligence, more than 80% of current jobs would probably be replaced by bionic people.
"These laws are to maintain the basic security of society. Otherwise, unemployed people are very likely to become criminals. However, even if there are express laws, they cannot restrict the behavior of companies. Although they cannot use artificial intelligence on a large scale, they can The company's employees have been transformed to look more and more like androids. After implanting so many prosthetics, their physiological functions have changed." Lu Xiang is not sure whether the workers in the first district can still be considered pure humans.
However, the company does not want to discuss these issues, let alone cause this matter to cause widespread discussion at the social level. They just need everyone to stay in their posts.
Lu Xiang also moved a chair and sat next to Song Lan throughout the evening. Together, the two of them observed the workers in the building opposite working.
It's hard to find anything more boring than this, but time flew by while chatting with Song Lan. She had rarely found such an opportunity before.
Because Song Lan goes to bed very early every day, and if this thing wasn't too boring, Song Lan wouldn't become so talkative.
"Large-scale research on artificial intelligence and bionic humans was launched not long after the establishment of the coalition government. At that time, many people raised concerns. They realized that artificial intelligence was too powerful and might squeeze people's jobs in the future. Caused a series of social problems." Lu Xiang suddenly remembered some interesting anecdotes and said,
“To this end, people of that era held countless debates on various occasions, and finally the group that supported the research of bionic human technology won. They criticized the opponents as unreasonable worries and firmly believed that the large-scale use of bionic humans would have a negative impact on people’s lives. With all the benefits and no harm, these loyal assistants to mankind can completely liberate mankind from productivity." Those people described a bright future that even Song Lan would nod after hearing this.
“Experts believe that after a few decades after bionic human technology is widely used, everyone’s material living standards will reach unprecedented heights. Everyone will be able to live in a big house and only need to work 3-5 hours a day to earn a living. With enough wealth for them to squander, at other times, they can spend their free time with their family and friends." Today, decades later, working more than 16 hours a day has become the norm in District 1 .
The company believes that every employee should cherish their work, because they gave up more efficient artificial intelligence and left job opportunities to them.
Artificial intelligence and bionic people have indeed become good helpers for human beings, but their main targets of loyalty are company executives.
Those large companies have indeed experienced explosive development due to the improvement of artificial intelligence and bionic human technology, but rather than improving people's lives, they are more willing to use their accumulated wealth in business competition and factional struggles.
"What made them change their minds and formulate the Artificial Intelligence Law?" Song Lan asked curiously.
According to his observation, the difficulty of taking action in this era is much higher than before the Third War. The coalition government only needs to dispatch a ruthless six-star rescuer like Huang Gu to easily put down a rebellion in the city.
"It's justice."
"Justice? Are those big companies suddenly aware of their conscience?"
"No, it was Justice who used a tactical nuclear bomb to detonate half of the building of Tesla Technology Headquarters. In order to avoid the next Justice, the council was forced to issue many policies during that period." After getting along with Song Lan for a long time, Lu Xiang His knowledge has also been expanded.
For the coalition government, Delta, Domination, and Justice are in a dark period of chaos. Their appearance has caused countless casualties, but objectively caused those corporate executives who were afraid of their power to re-revise the law. Eucalyptus.
If you look at this issue from a historical perspective, after they were imprisoned one after another, the company once again ushered in a period of vigorous development.
Longer working hours and increasingly unequal working conditions are also products of this period.
"Perhaps you will be able to meet the chairman of the jury soon, and maybe some of your ideas can change the lives of those people across from you." Lu Xiang said.
Even she has never met the chairman of the jury in real life. He is undoubtedly one of the most difficult people to meet in the world.
Shortly after Song Lan came back, they applied for an appointment with the Council Speaker through MI7. Natalie conveyed their ideas to the senior management of MI7, who then prepared a written report and submitted it to the Secretariat of the Council. , if this report can be approved by the secretariat, it can enter the regular appointment process.
This is a rather complicated process, and if anyone replaced by the worm is mixed into any process, the application will eventually come to nothing.
Because of this, Lu Xiang did not explain the clues they investigated. If everything goes well, it will be at least three or four days before we meet the chairman of the committee.
"By the way, Jasmine said that Yakong's condition has stabilized and his life is no longer in danger, but it may take about a week to fully recover. Moreover, when she arrived, she did not encounter the person you mentioned. That former MI7 agent." It seems that after being betrayed once, the other party can no longer trust anyone.
……………………………… At the same time, a certain prosthetic hospital in the first district.
"Listen to me, Sister Jasmine, I think I understand it completely!" Regardless of the pain in his body and refusing to listen to the doctor Jasmine's advice, Yakong stubbornly sat up straight and raised his hands in order to let the other party understand what he meant. He kept gesticulating in the air.
Ever since he regained consciousness, he had been thinking about the strange things that happened when they escaped from the sewer.
"I have completely seen through his abilities!"
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Jasmine made a silent gesture. She didn't know how well the soundproofing of this hospital ward was, and whether there might be spies planted by the Worm Clan in the hospital.
Obviously Yakon did not learn from this and still carried out his cannon fodder-like behavior. But the curiosity in her heart drove Jasmine. After all, Yakon was one of the direct witnesses at the scene.
He personally experienced the strange phenomena caused when the ability was activated. After being reminded, Yacon lowered his voice, but his tone was as firm as ever,
"You can't be wrong. That person's ability is definitely an interfering ability. Its effect is to cause temporary amnesia in the person affected by the ability!" This explains all the abnormal phenomena.
"And his ability will have a wide range of effects when activated!" That's why they forgot how they escaped from the sewer with the help of the other party, the driver forgot that he was driving a car, and the commuters walking on the road Forgetting that there was a billboard in front of him, the person operating the drone forgot about the stairs at his feet, causing him to miss the mark and fall down the stairs.
"If I had to choose a name, I would call it memory erasure!" Adam's detective eyes plunged Jasmine's eyes into deep darkness.
Only then did she realize that she had made a serious mistake by pinning her hopes on Yakon. Although this guy was an eyewitness at the scene, he had no idea what a terrible phenomenon happened at that moment. .
"You'd better lie down." Seeing that Ya Kong was injured all over her body, Jasmine did not refute him.
"I have an emergency meeting next." She didn't lie. Because of what happened last night, the Council held an emergency meeting for the six-star rescuers.
Before the meeting officially started, each of them received a video. The video did show high-end cars, office workers, and people standing on the stairs operating drones to shoot night scenes. These were all scenes captured by the surveillance cameras on that section of the road.
All the strange phenomena occurred between the 6th and 7th seconds of the video. In that fleeting moment, everything on this street jumped by leaps and bounds.
Yakong and the girl he was traveling with appeared on the street out of thin air, and around them, cars, office workers, photographers, and drones in the night sky all completed the teleportation process at the same time.
It was like... the period of time they had experienced disappeared from this world out of thin air. This is obviously not what Ya Kong thinks
"Memory erasure" can explain the phenomenon!
