Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

3:30 am

"Not bad! I'm full now."

Locke patted his belly. At this time, more and more people began to gather here. There were chairs placed on a temporary platform. Wu Qun wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a sip. He drank the wine in the glass and poured a bottle of water over his head.

"Really, I asked you not to drink so much. The business begins now. If you fall asleep in the middle of the drunkenness."

Before Wang Ying could finish her words, Wu Qun started laughing.

"I won't fall asleep. I don't know what time it will last, but maybe this is what we have been looking forward to for many years!"

Wu Qun rolled up his sleeves and walked to the stage. At this time, the people around him were moving their chairs around the stage.

On the second floor of Angus's mansion, Alpha handed his sister, who finally fell asleep, into her mother's hands. Many women from the family were in the room with their sleeping children. Everyone wanted to ask something. But neither of them spoke.

Alpha smiled and bowed to everyone.

"When the new era comes, I will no longer let the women of the family become a tool for forming alliances between families!"

Alpha said and climbed to the window. Helen looked at Alpha blankly, and then at the people sitting on the lawn not far away.

"Miss Alpha, it's going to be hard, it's been a century."

Alpha shook his head.

"Maybe, everything in the city will become more and more perfect. Good night, everyone!"

As Alpha jumped down, Violet ran to the window. She really wanted to hear what these young people thought about the future of the city, but she was a little worried. Looking at Alpha's retreating background, Violet closed the window.

"I just hope you can keep silent about everything tonight."

Violet reiterated it again, and more than 40 family women in the room nodded. Looking at the children in the arms of many women, Violet started a few years ago, and every once in a while , some family women who are willing to come over will be asked to come over with their children.

Especially those families that have already entered into marriage agreements before their children are even conceived. The future fate of these children can only follow the internal decisions of the family and establish alliances between families through marriage. In order to continue prosperity, Therefore, Violet wants to let the children get along with each other more when they are children. This is like taking an inoculation in advance against everything that will come sooner or later in the future.

The lights on the street were dimly lit, and the roar of cars sounded. Many family members and some invited upper-class businessmen had just finished the banquet. However, many people noticed at this time that the Angus family In the distance on the dark lawn, there is a place where the lights are like daylight, and from time to time someone will get out of the car to take a look.

Some ordinary people who couldn't see clearly could only see from the far-sighted observation of the mutant bodyguards that there were many special management officers sitting there, as if they were having some serious meeting. Many people stood beside Angus. Looking outside the iron fence of the family's mansion, because it looked unusual, many mutants who could see it also felt that in that place that looked like daylight, many people's expressions looked extremely serious.

Charles stood quietly at the gate of the family mansion, seeing off some guests who were coming out. His eyes were always fixed on the Angus family mansion opposite. The lights in the mansion had almost been extinguished, but there was a bright light in the middle of the dark lawn. The place with lights looked a little strange tonight.

Someone asked why Freya was not seen. Charles shook his head, indicating that his wife had gone to bed first.

Seeing many women in the family leaving with their children, Charles felt a little depressed. Over the years, his most urgent wish was to have a boy who could inherit everything from the Abron family, but it was a pity that Freya could never get pregnant. child.

This made Charles a little uncomfortable and depressed. He often thought of the word divorce in his mind, but Charles couldn't do it. This was equivalent to splitting the now powerful Abron family into two, and the people on the Freya family They wouldn't agree to it, and the people in their own family would not agree to it even more.

Charles often thinks about what he has done wrong. In such a cold relationship between husband and wife, they may spend less than one day together every year. He has tried to save it, but Freya never bought it and still went her own way as a medical consultant. A meaningless thing.

Charles knew that Freya had some connections. Their family wanted to enter the medical market before, hoping to use the connections that Freya had built up over the years. However, Freya refused, saying that she would never take advantage of others' influence on her. Trusted to benefit the family.

Freya, who has always been against him, is still like a group of fierce horses even now. Charles can only swallow these bitter waters by himself, and there is no one who can even talk to him, because it has been spread throughout the family circle that he and Freya are in trouble. Ya has long been a stranger to each other.

It's just that somewhere in Charles's heart, he can still see something, but he is unwilling to admit it from beginning to end. Every time he sees Freya, it's still the same as when he first saw her. It really seems like something. Beautiful smooth artwork, pure white.

"There's no way it can start if no one talks!"

Locke said, and Freya across from him nodded, stood up, put one hand on her chest, bowed to the heads of the operational section opposite, and then bowed to everyone around them.

“We are here today just to discuss with you the future of the city, which may involve all aspects. I only hope that after this discussion, we can find more, broader and newer ways to build this city! "

Everyone nodded and Locke stood up.

"So Ms. Freya, what do you think of the city today?"

"It seems like a monster that will swallow everything at any time!"

As soon as Freya finished speaking, everyone present agreed. Huashen below the stage smiled and nodded. He very much recognized Freya's medical contributions over the years. Many of them coincided with his own. combine.

"so what!"

Locke asked. At this time, Wu Qun stood up and Freya sat back.

"I believe everyone is aware of everything that has happened in the past few years, what is going on, and what its essence is! The infinite expansion of public opinion, the difficulty in advancing the legal process, the unchecked growth of capital, the constant emergence of crimes and some demolitions The practice of east wall complementing west wall and the transaction of money and power have always been the main colors in the city, which is the most difficult to eradicate."

Alpha stood up with one hand raised.

"We have only one idea, a management machine that can operate completely. This is what we need to achieve in the future. This machine will not give any room for money and power transactions. It is integrated. The machine will create a It’s an environment where it’s difficult to make a fuss about money and power transactions.”

"It's hard to control people! Or rather, people's thoughts."

Wang Ying added, and Alpha nodded.

"That's why it's difficult, so we have to be two hands to pull the chains that hold the monster. I hope we can both reach a consensus on this."

Freya and the other seven people nodded, and Alpha said thank you and sat down.

"It's just that I think your current situation, or the system of the business department, is too cold and rigid. This will often hurt many people mercilessly."

Wu Qun said, although Locke agreed, he could only sigh and sit down.

"For a complete political system, power is necessary. Power can bring stability and prosperity, and can effectively contain many things."

Clark said with a smile, still looking carefree.

"What you call containment, I actually think it is more reasonable to understand it as suppression. In a closed and repressive society, there may be more riots in the future, because people's hearts are often far more powerful than the geniuses here. Much more vulnerable.”

Lin Xiao smiled and glanced at the surrounding members of the administrative department, and many people felt something for a while.

"This is a dilemma! You want stability and prosperity, and a rich life, but you don't want to be controlled! After all, people like this, in a comfortable environment, will begin to pursue higher-level spiritual needs. If If it’s a good spiritual demand, then there’s nothing wrong with it, but what if it’s a bad one!”

Clark responded, and then winked at Alpha. Alpha stood up and brought up a light and shadow screen, which soon enlarged.

"This is an assault crime investigation that started at the beginning of the new year in 2208. The mastermind behind the scenes is Red Hillman. Finally, according to our investigation, everything led to him, a software called Lieyan! The number of participants reached 1,023 people were found, and this is the result of our final investigation."

Wang Ying's expression turned serious for a moment, Alpha then brought out more things, and Freya quietly examined the shocking photos in front of her.

"The minimum income among the participants is 8,000 per month, 80% of them are from the middle level, and 20% are from the upper level. This software is all anonymous membership. It took us nearly a year and arrested 3,817 people. The case was finally settled, but due to the bloody and brutal nature of the case, we did not fully disclose certain details."

Noah stood up and walked to Alpha, and then Alpha sat down.

"Let me explain this. This network originally only appeared in District 29. Because of Miss Wang Ying's incident, Mr. Jean destroyed this organization that openly sold certain things on the website. But the network The source code was not developed by them, but purchased from the black market."

Pullman nodded. Because they went to court, he knew the details of these cases better than the other seven people, because the things involved were far more unsightly than what everyone sees now.

"This porn hunting software was developed based on this network construction technology. Then a membership system was implemented. Participants would go to a designated location, and the website staff would collect fees and verify identity information. Then the funds would be used for website maintenance and construction. fee, so that the website can have more money to expand network coverage. To enter this private network that does not belong to the national network, you need to obtain the subcode generated from the source code. All members can provide some prey. , as long as you put the information of the prey and some photos, a detailed plan on how to hunt the prey will be released in a few days. The website will automatically publish the tasks, and then some members will take over the tasks to actually implement the plan. The implementation is all live broadcast, and the implementer will complete the on-site operations according to some of the needs of the members, and even invite some members to participate and take videos and photos for internal members to watch!"

After Noah finished speaking, Freya quietly looked at some processed photos and some common hunting methods. These things can only be described in four words: shocking.

"I believe you, Attorney Pullman, should know the final result."

Locke said and Pullman nodded.

"All 3,817 participants were sentenced to 100 years in prison. Although 487 members of the family were exempted from criminal law, they were required to pay up to 1 billion in fines and grounding in the next 20 years."

"Life is too exciting."

Beckinsale laughed. She had provided a lot of things to people in the field before, because the film and television area was the hardest hit area for this porn hunting software. She knew of more than 100 women who had been assaulted, but Most women keep silent. They range from young actors who are just starting out to some already popular stars.

"Then what exactly do you want to explain regarding this matter?"

Lin Xiao said and Clark laughed.

"Of course, once people have enough food and clothing, because this is a society with extremely developed diversified information, spiritual needs will be magnified. Maybe it is just a hobby in a certain aspect at the beginning, but as long as you wear a mask, no one can When no one can see or notice, a person will begin to deteriorate, because he has enough material things to cover up everything about himself. Such crimes are of a very bad nature, and they can be regarded as the outbreak of the extremely ugly side of human nature. Do you know why there is no death penalty in the city?”

For a moment, Baozhen sighed helplessly.

"Actually, I think that for a certain type of guy, even if he is imprisoned until death, he may not have any regrets in his heart. That's how people are, he can even find other things in prison. Let yourself spend a long life in prison."

"Such people are just special cases, Ms. Baozhen. What we call power means that although crime cannot be completely eradicated, it can be effectively curbed. The same is true for city management. Every place needs to comply with regulations. ."

Duan Kong said, Wu Qun smiled and shook his head.

"This is almost impossible, because no matter how you control things like people, you will always find a breakthrough at some point. Blind control is not the answer. In my opinion, everything you have done over the years has , it has indeed made the city a good place, but these seemingly clear rationalities are not reasonable at certain times!”

"for example!"

Keying asked with a smile.

"Let me give you the simplest example. You have conducted a lot of statistics on market economic data for the production of an egg. The final price of the output is 30 cents. But when it finally reaches the hands of the public, the price is 50 cents to 1 cent. In the range of block 2, we will simply discuss its rationality without discussing the intermediate links. It is indeed very cheap and everyone can afford it."

Wu Qun said, Freya nodded at this time, Wu Qun continued.

“But people still think it’s expensive!”

Locke's face turned serious for a moment.

"That's natural, because people feel that this is not their ideal price. They will complain that an egg costs a few cents more at certain times. Of course, this is inevitable due to price fluctuations. You think all this is effective. , it is reasonable to stabilize the market, but the people still think it is unreasonable. They just want lower prices and more quantities, because reports talk about the production capacity problems of agricultural and food bases every year, and you give The production capacity increase rate is increasing year by year, so in the end people think, why not free? We pay taxes, work every day, and make due contributions to this society, but eggs still cost money!"

Wu Qun continued with a smile.

"People are wondering, with such a high production capacity, where are the extra eggs going? Even if these eggs are free, they should be enough for us to eat for a long time. So why do we have to pay taxes? We still work so hard. In the end, we have to pay for the results of our hard work! This is unreasonable and unreasonable, because almost all the food tax is invested in the construction of the farm every year.”

Locke gritted his teeth, but at this moment a small white hand was raised under the stage. Locke nodded, and Yin Xianglin stood up.

"I think this uncle is talking nonsense. Please don't be led in by him."

Wu Qun burst out laughing, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere at the scene relaxed a little for a while, and Yin Xianglin said with a smile.

"If you don't eat it, you won't think so much. I think uncle, you are just talking. It's like a joke. A green onion is associated with a miserable life in the future. Someone bought a green onion and suddenly thought, I Should I buy some meat-wrapped dumplings, but for a moment I thought that I can’t make dumplings, so should I get a wife who can make dumplings? How much will the gift be, and will I need a house and a car after I get married? How to live, what to do if you have a child, what to do if the husband and wife don't get along and quarrel, what to do if the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, what school will the child go to in the future, how will the child be educated, how will he provide for himself in the future, and finally the man throws away the onion! "

Many people laughed for a while, and Wu Qun laughed and nodded.

"It's true that I'm just talking, but maybe not many people will think about what I say, and no one will think about the problem in this way, but I think you are all smart people and should know What do I want to say!"

"It's unreasonable!"

Yin Xianglin sat down as he spoke, Locke nodded and sighed helplessly.

"What a contradictory approach!"

"Indeed, I want to warn you tonight that as managers of all aspects of the city in the future, any decisions you make should first be based on unreasonableness, because there are no perfect decisions and policies that can make everyone feel reasonable. Yes, the second point is that the natural irrationality of the people is bound to exist, because not everyone will choose to think, and not everyone who chooses to think will think, and those who can think will come up with what they think. Things are not necessarily correct or wrong. Unreasonableness is the essence of human beings. Therefore, there is only one thing we need to do in the future. Under various conditions based on unreasonableness, build rationality. It’s not that we think it’s reasonable, but because it’s unreasonable, we need to make it reasonable.”

For a while, many people present found it difficult to refute Freya's point of view. Many people's heads had already understood the meaning of Freya and Wu Qun's double act in an instant. There was no need to interpret some processes. No matter what the public thought. No matter whether the price of eggs is unreasonable, or the man who buys green onions ends up throwing away the green onions, he will eventually realize that these delusional thoughts are unreasonable, and the final impression in his mind is that they are unreasonable.

"but."

Osman scratched his head and felt his head hurt a little, on the street next to Brandon Spring.

"You're not fit to think about this kind of stuff, you're just a muscle idiot."

Locke felt a little tight in his chest and felt that if this situation often happened in the future, he might not be able to hold on.

Everyone in Jean who was still watching at this time started laughing. Looking at the students they had taught, they were now speechless because Freya and the others were unreasonable and could not find any loopholes to counterattack. .

"Okay, okay, we don't think we should talk about these things anymore. The days are still long and we don't know who will win. I think we should talk about it."

Clark glanced at Lin Xiao and then said.

"An industrial problem."

Lin Xiao stood up for a while.

"I think it's a good topic. Let's explain it now."

A new round of debate began. People kept standing up to refute the other party's views and put forward a large number of arguments to refute. As time passed by, the people on both sides began to become completely heated.

Gradually, this fervor began to become a bit full of gunpowder, and the scene became a little difficult to control.

"I am determined to implement public security management regulations. I will never let managers have to think about human rights and laws when facing criminals!"

Even Alpha, who was originally calm, began to become agitated. She kept arguing with Freya and several other people across from her. Pullman's mood also began to become more and more agitated.

"It is precisely because we cannot find this balance point that we can only consider human rights, not order, nor law. No matter how reasonable your system is, you cannot eliminate the various weaknesses in human nature. No one can A saint, even less likely."

As time passed, the originally dark sky began to turn gray, and everyone was speaking out for their side.

By daybreak, the originally quiet scene had become a bit chaotic, and everyone seemed a little tired. However, they all showed happy smiles as they greeted the artificial sun that was gradually brightening.

Gene said with a smile.

"1,200 votes to 130."

For a moment, the other six gods looked at Jean.

"Do you really want to get involved?"

"The referees on the field are just as important as the referees off the field, aren't they?"

After seeing the arguing crowd, the seven gods had already decided. Originally, there were 10 councilors representing various aspects in each district. There could be no more than 1 person from the same industry. Each councilor had one vote, and the acting department Then each section can only have 10 votes. The success or failure of the debate in Congress will determine the direction of development in the city.

"The actual effect is very good, whether it is right or wrong, but the collision of thinking, beliefs, and ideals can always make everything gradually more rational, because there are constantly new things being produced!"

Deguna said that the gods are the final arbiters. They only intend to listen to these managers to express their opinions and vote on one thing. There are still many things that need to be gradually improved in the future, but many of the things debated today make The gods were all very satisfied. The first confrontation between these two different voices did produce something new.

"Sister Freya, I feel really tired!"

Alpha held Freya's arm. At this time, a group of people were just walking quietly on the lawn, watching the rising sun, and talking about some things in a pleasant manner. They planned to take a walk together for a while, and then leave separately after breakfast. .

"I'll have you tired from now on, Alpha. It feels like your brain is completely like a stone right now."

"But Sister Freya, it really surprises me that you can say so."

Freya nodded with a smile.

"Of course, how else do you think I could do such things? After all, some people in society are much more difficult to deal with than you think. You should go out and walk around the city if you have nothing to do."

Alpha glanced at Freya, shook his head, and the two walked in the garden.

"Sister Freya, how about I do a comprehensive physical examination for you? I will give the examination data to Fry and let him find a way to help you prepare some medicine to regulate your body."

Freya laughed.

"No need, Alpha. I'm in good health. I've just been checked. Just let it happen. And even if I'm pregnant, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"Let me give you a thorough examination."

Alpha still insisted, and Freya nodded.

"Okay, come to my house tomorrow with your things."

At 8 o'clock in the morning, after Freya greeted many people in the business department, she left the Angus family's mansion and walked towards the opposite side. The other seven people were already sitting on the lift. .

Locke Ka Fai and a bunch of people were seeing them off.

"Uncle, if you talk nonsense again next time, don't blame me for being rude. Now I understand what you mean by rationality. People are not only a collection of irrationality, but also a collection of rationality. I have found It’s a point that can be refuted.”

Wu Qun looked at the little girl standing next to Locke and laughed, when Vivian came over.

"Old Wu, it's time for you to find someone to get married to!"

Many people laughed for a while.

"Look, you were quite handsome before, but now you're as fat as our manager."

One of the women said this, and many people laughed for a while.

"Yeah, you'd be cool if you opened a restaurant."

Wu Qun shook his head, glanced at everyone, nodded slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his slightly serious expression.

The lift slowly rose, and the seven people in the cabin just looked at the light coming from the windows quietly and closed their eyes easily.
