You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

Although Lou Qingyan had a conversation with Wang Xiaowang, he kept thinking about Jiang Fu's reaction in his heart. He raised his head to look at him when he left the door, "What do you think...what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Fu only felt that his internal organs were in torment, he couldn't tell whether it was anxiety or pain, he hugged Lou Qingyan in his arms, feeling the warmth of his body, and then he felt a little relief.However, as soon as the heartache subsided, the headache came up again. It was like a war was going on in my mind. Something was eager to get out of the bondage, but there was no way out.

Lou Qingyan thought that he still cared about his behavior after all, so his tone softened slightly, "You don't have to worry about what I plan to do, I will send him to the place where he should go, and let professionals handle it."

He wanted to break free from Jiang Fu's embrace, but suddenly found that the latter's body was trembling slightly.

"No, you did the right thing," Jiang Fu tried his best to look calm, but the words he said were a little delirious, "Lou Qingyan, you are so cute...you are cute no matter what you do... …”

Lou Qingyan finally felt something was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"

Countless pictures flashed back before Jiang Fu's eyes, but he couldn't grasp any of them. The world appeared double images, and those pictures fell chaotically and were stacked in front of his eyes. However, he couldn't even see a single detail. , the more blurred the eyes...

Until Lou Qingyan's face broke in.

It is the only clarity in this fuzzy world.

Jiang Fu held his lips precisely and forcefully, kissing him desperately like a dying traveler in the desert absorbing the sweet spring.Lou Qingyan was quickly brought in and responded eagerly.Miraculously, the pain melted away in this kiss. They went from intense to delicate, and the kiss became slower and slower. Finally, they rubbed each other's noses, stopped, and were unwilling to separate.

Jiang Fu knew that something was wrong with him, maybe he should go see a doctor, but he didn't want Lou Qingyan to worry, so he said with a normal expression: "It turns out that you can kiss me by saying you're cute, I've learned it."

"? What did you say?" Lou Qingyan was shocked. Is this what Jiang Fu said, "What have you learned?"

"Qing Yan is so cute." After Jiang Fu finished speaking, he put his finger on his cheek.

"...You, is it the first time for you to fall in love as a middle school student?" Lou Qingyan was about to turn around and run away when he was caught by his arms and held in his arms.

Jiang Fu originally just diverted his gaze, but inexplicably insisted on it, and tapped his cheek again.

This kiss on the cheek seemed too innocent in the current situation, just like teenage lovers pecking each other secretly, but it made Lou Qingyan feel embarrassed.

Jiang Fu persevered, and poked his finger on the cheek to express a strong hint. He was about to poke his own dimple before being pushed away by Lou Qingyan.

The soft and moist lips are about to leave at the touch of the cheek.

Jiang Fu smiled happily, buried his head in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath, feeling genuine happiness.

They are standing on the top floor of this office building.As the scale expanded, Shenkong rented out the top floors of the office building, and Lou Qingyan's office gradually moved to the top floor.Wang Xiaowang was locked in the utility room on the rooftop.

The breeze is blowing slowly, a little cold, but very comfortable.

Lou Qingyan put his ear on his chest, and looked downstairs, "Look," he pointed to a traffic on the street in the distance, "That road is very congested, so some drivers are going to take a detour to another road. Usually, there is less traffic on one road, so it is not that congested, but today it is catching up with road construction, and only half of it is allowed to pass. After these drivers drive past, they will find that it is more congested than the first road."

"Only those who stand on a high ground can see everything clearly, but we are not people who stand on a high ground. We are just an inseparable drop of water in the torrent of history, a group of ordinary people who cannot break free from the limitations of history."

"With the development of productivity, people's self-realization needs are becoming more and more important, and personalization is becoming more and more prominent. This is not wrong."

"People who had to be attached to the central node began to aspire to become independent nodes, eager to create value directly by themselves instead of being part of the central value. The development of technology provides conditions for all this. Decentralization is the trend of the times, and there is nothing wrong with it. .”

"The purpose of Fanxing is to provide everyone with a platform to directly create value, which coincides with the philosophy of main. This is also true."

"Wang Xiaowang's biggest mistake is that he can't see the whole picture and essence of decentralization, and also can't see the whole picture and essence of anarchy."

When everyone can become a network node, these nodes will be differentiated in size, creating a kind of "small center", which is the so-called re-centralization.Just as social media is a decentralized product, it has given birth to a new center such as internet celebrities.The decentralization of the Internet and the re-centralization of self-media have become a very typical phenomenon.

Wang Xiaowang also noticed this, so he said that "decentralization may not necessarily bring about anarchism, but it will definitely lead to the germination of small governmentism."

But he ignored—maybe not ignoring, but being forcibly forgotten—behind the decentralized and small centers, there is still a... strong center that connects all nodes.

At the beginning of the establishment of the e-commerce platform, it was a typical example of web2.0 decentralization. The sales structure was flat, and direct sales channels were provided for small businesses. Everyone can participate. Isn’t it decentralized?But now no one says that e-commerce is decentralized, because after years of resource accumulation, they themselves have become the strongest center.

Later, the blockchain was proposed, initially only to establish an electronic currency system, but with its development, people found that the most important significance of the blockchain is not to establish the Bitcoin system, but to completely subvert existing transactions and even interpersonal transactions. way of communication.

The traditional way of human trading is to barter. Even if there is currency, the value of each currency varies with its size and weight. This kind of transaction is too inconvenient, so credit currency came into being.

When people start trading with credit currency, it means adding a third party to the transaction—the government that issues credit currency.People will worry about a problem: I exchanged my things for a piece of paper, what if this piece of paper cannot be used tomorrow?Therefore, the role of the government is to guarantee the transaction and ensure that this piece of paper can be used forever.

After the rise of the Internet, various financial systems have been established in modern society. Third-party institutions are no longer just the government, but also banks, associations, third-party payment tools, etc. Generally speaking, they cannot be separated from the "third-party guarantee" means of transaction.

In this type of transaction, the most important thing is to establish the credit of the third-party organization, but humans are often the most unreliable existence in the entire system. As long as it is a system managed by humans, there must be things that are unstable, destroy trust, and violate the rules. .

Moreover, it is difficult to establish a global credit system, and it is almost impossible for two countries to fully trust each other. Therefore, the cost of cross-border transactions is very high, and friction between different credit centers will greatly reduce efficiency.

Is there a way, then, to exclude humans from the system?Establish a self-operating credit mechanism that does not require human maintenance?

Blockchain did it.At least conceptually it did.

The principle is very simple. It is to record every transaction on every network node, so that everyone can witness the record, and turn "third-party guarantee" into "everyone participates in guarantee".To incentivize people to stake, the first person to record a transaction is rewarded, namely Bitcoin.

There are still many problems in the blockchain, for example, it is impossible for a single node to store all the data.But at least, it has been put into application and works on a small scale.

The blockchain seems to be a version 2.0 of decentralization, which technically provides more support for decentralization, but can it solve the problems of re-centralization and strong centralization?

It is a pity that it has too high requirements for hardware storage, which leads to the concentration of nodes in the data center and fails to avoid the trend of "re-centralization".Moreover, it is still the central organization such as the company that currently provides blockchain hardware and software services, and the platform will eventually become a strong center in the end.

So, is it possible that new technologies will emerge in the future to solve the problems of re-centering and strong-centering?

Wang Xiaowang thinks there must be, but Lou Qingyan has seen history.

The human race that joined the Interstellar Federation in history has produced various anarchic and weak government practices in the process of development.

Some people voluntarily form self-government groups, and many self-government groups form alliances to help each other according to certain contracts.

Some believe in mathematics. People’s obligations and rights are stipulated by a set of open and transparent mathematical algorithms. A distributed algorithm similar to blockchain is used to complete social distribution. People who operate and contribute to the algorithm are elected through data analysis. , and then decided by a democratic vote.

Others have established self-operating super companies. There are only simple employment and contractual relationships among people, and corresponding rewards can be obtained by completing the obligations stipulated in the contract.The law is a "weak law" signed by everyone unanimously, which basically contains only the principle of non-aggression.In addition to being bound by contracts and weak laws, everyone is free and can do whatever they want, and even the protection of their personal and property safety is established through employment and contracts.

All of these, without exception, all failed.

Domination, power, inequality, mutual aggression.

The four major phenomena that anarchists advocate eliminating have never disappeared along with the magnificent journey of human beings, just like tarsal bone disease.

Lou Qingyan called Liang Yanchu's boss, and he and Jiang Fu left the company to go home after handing over Wang Xiaowang to him at night.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiaowang's words left some indelible marks in his heart after all.

When watching Wang Xiaowang being escorted away, he said to Jiang Fu abruptly, "It's not all nonsense that technology and systems replace social relations."

Jiang Fu said, "Why do you think so?"

"How many examples throughout the ages, look, an open and transparent mathematical algorithm has replaced the trust relationship between people."

"I'm thinking about a question."

"Blockchain is a machine that produces trust."

He turned his head to look at Jiang Fu, and said with ease, "If we don't even need to produce trust ourselves, then can other feelings be like this?"

Jiang Fu was startled, and suddenly, the feeling of headache struck again.

Fortunately, the symptoms were much lighter this time, and he didn't show any abnormalities.

Lou Qingyan shrugged, "Forget it, I was joking, let's go."
