Therapy Planet No. 13

It turned out that the ones looking for Jessica were the mental hackers who had worked together before.

This group of rebellious hackers soon discovered that the changes in the Star Network were not temporary and regional, but long-lasting, widespread, and frightening.

They found that the mental interference of the Star Network on people connected to the Internet is increasing day by day.

Someone deciphered the message that Starnet was trying to imprint in the minds of the people.

At first it was the concept of heretics or enemies, then one name, two names, three names...

There are more and more lists of enemies. At the beginning, the names were people who appeared on the previous government wanted list. The hackers thought it was to further strengthen the federal crackdown on crime, but later the list expanded too large, and even in the Interspersed with some basic concepts taught by the Tower of Babel, it involves almost every aspect of life.

Things started to go wrong.

Even though people nowadays are not so sensitive to the concept of privacy, this group of hackers who are at large are still keenly aware of the federation's manipulation of citizens' thinking.

Tough, direct, subtle.

Ordinary people can't feel this thing at all.

If a person with a slightly stronger mental threshold instinctively discovers this abnormality and tries to reflect this situation to the people around him, he will be treated with strange and puzzled eyes by the assimilated people around him.

Because the influence of Xingwang on the spirit is absolutely deep-rooted, people will even become extreme when they encounter dissent.

Those who found something wrong began to silence in order to protect themselves.

The discussion topics that appeared on the star network were also erased the moment they appeared.

Like it never happened.

Such deliberate domination and absolute laissez-faire have the same effect.

People who perceive that they are isolated both in reality and on the Internet, and then start to doubt themselves, become more silent, and even think that something is wrong with them.

And during this waiting time, they are enough to be "infected" by the star network that continues to increase its influence.

"Dissonant sounds are like candles. If you suck all the oxygen away, they will go out by themselves and die of suffocation."

Rhodes stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of a huge screen, on which the degree of spread was marked with red and gray.

There is no all-gray that has been completely branded, but there are very few bright reds that symbolize the power of resistance.

The candles were dimming.

Sooner or later it will disappear.

"Where's the controller? Have you found out about Lui's whereabouts?" Rhode asked suddenly.

Beside him stood Riley and Jeffrey, who were at the heart of the whole plan.

They know all about the process, but nothing about the purpose and the why.

If habits and memories were not directly editable, they might be the kind of researchers most favored by politicians when they are edited.

Neither know nor care.

They are just living in a dream.

Jeffrey replied: "The tracking was stopped at a distance of nearly half a light-year outside the northeast star field... Lucas is destroying the signal tower, and now we have less and less information about the outside world."

Rhodes lowered his eyes, seemingly in deep thought.

The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose reflected a gray-red light.

Emotions and thoughts are contagious.

The discovery of the spiritual threshold - the combination of the absolute mind and the absolute matter offers this possibility.

The brain is the most private space of a person. People in the old earth era did not find the "door", so when observing the world and being influenced by the world, they participated through the five senses.

Even if history records that there have been some eras of extreme authoritarianism, there will always be people who resist this influence and burst out opposite ideas.

Those with vested interests in the post-era who resisted the establishment will highlight it as "the brilliance of human nature."

However, even the famous way of life spurned by the "brilliance of human nature" - doublethink - also tacitly accepts the rationality of a certain layer of double thinking inside the brain.

But now this decidedly closed space has been broken.

The signal tower is the key to open the door, and the star network is the world that humans see after leaving their caves.

colorful.

But also dangerous.

People who fought in the jungle are experienced in responding to crises.

In other words, the adaptability of human beings is infinite.

Destroying the signal towers, solving the "infected" soldiers, and restoring the most traditional paper and pen transmission channels are the three countermeasures Lucas issued in response to the Starnet attack.

The advancement of technology has accelerated the transmission of ideas.

The choice of thought destroys the communication of life.

"But our current strength is still not enough."

A veteran general in the parliament said to Lucas worriedly: "Although we have saved some, as long as we set foot in the domain, we will inevitably be disturbed by the star network. We have to consider not only the loss of the battlefield, but also these intangible influences." .”

The most troublesome thing is that once they are indoctrinated with the concept that the "Freedom Alliance" is the enemy, death becomes a better relief—at least the dead will not defect to the camp and become the enemy.

Lucas nodded, and did not refute this fact, but naturally followed the topic: "So I propose to expand the army."

Military expansion?

Everyone looked at him like a monster.

Expanding the military means recruiting new soldiers.

Where do recruits come from?

Almost all the people outside the territory are members of the Freedom Alliance. If you want to expand the army, according to the past practice, you need to develop new forces in the territory.

But in this situation in the domain - at least the people at the lieutenant level can not be affected by the Star Network.

In the case of extremely scarce manpower, let alone recruiting, it is quite difficult to find an ordinary citizen who is not affected.

"Please read this document."

Lucas handed the stack of documents in front of him to the nearest person.

Extraterrestrials are not suitable for life, and the available resources are relatively scarce, let alone the raw materials for paper and pen synthesis.

- "Summary of Proposals for the Establishment of an Independent Army and an Independent Network"

"I believe that everyone in the alliance is very interested in the new members who joined recently... Although they did not make a unified introduction, I believe everyone has heard of it."

Lucas explained as others looked through the documents: "Everyone here is an old friend, and you all know the truth about Boyd's death-I don't need to keep this from you."

"In fact, when Boyd was dealt with, I was vaguely aware that the situation had spread and was developing in a direction beyond our control. In other words, this has gone beyond the scope of politics."

Lucas's words are precise: "Whether everyone is willing or not, because of our position, it will inevitably become a stumbling block to the development of this ultra-political development. Now it is not a political appeal, but a survival need."

"The Independent Army is a new army recruited on the basis of an independent network. In this environment, the overall quality of the independent army's recruits is far superior to that of the ordinary army, and the number of recruits will inevitably be relatively small. They should be trained in the direction of specialization and elites. .”

Lucas focused on explaining the independent network.

"The independent network is the real core for us to solve the dilemma."

They now have almost everything Rhodes wants to have.

People with the ability to assimilate, whether it is pheromone or other brain nerve functions, no matter from which aspect they assimilate, no matter how the degree of assimilation is, they choose to stay for one reason or another.

In the final analysis, there is only one reason for these complicated reasons. They were all pushed to Lucas by Rhodes himself.

What's more interesting is that the coordination of the Star Network even pushed some typical neutrals in the universe to the Liberty Alliance.

Those scattered Starnet worms were forced to reluctantly give up what they depended on for survival, and naturally thought of the only existence that could contend with them—Jessica, who had blocked the newborn passage before.

More precisely, Sirois's public spiritual network.

They want to find alternatives again.

The other people present at the meeting are all old fritters, and they don't need Lucas to mention it, they will be satisfied.

"You mean, we rebuild an uncontrolled network?"

One person nodded in agreement: "It is not difficult to rebuild the network. As long as we can independently develop signal towers, theoretically speaking, we can get rid of the control of the Federation."

Someone immediately jumped out to refute: "But we don't have the core technology of signal towers at all!"

"Huo Wen is working on this matter." Lucas motioned the congressman who was reading the document to turn to the page of Huo Wen's profile, "For various reasons, it is not a problem for us to build a small base station to cover a small number of people. Many secret organizations used to There have been related products ... the problem is the scope of coverage."

"But this is a little devil!"

"That's right! I can't accept such an important thing being entrusted to a child."

Lucas emphasized: "This kid in your mouth-but single-handedly responsible for the construction of a wild space station base station, and that was even four years ago."

The dissent died away.

Lucas looked around the circle with satisfaction, and continued: "Believe me, although building a signal tower is not easy, it is by no means the most difficult thing."

"Instead of creating the core technology ourselves, we can also choose the second option at the same time."

Luka paused, and said, "Destroy the Law of Association."

……

long silence.

"I don't understand what you mean." After a long time, an older person raised his hand tremblingly.

He is very old, but his strategic thinking is still active, and he is now the deputy chief of staff.

"literal meaning."

Lucas knew his proposal was crazy.

"The person who tied the bell needs to be untied. The vaccine is also extracted from the virus. There is always hope hidden in the most dangerous place."

He said: "Since we have everything he needs in our hands, why can't we do the opposite and find a way to crack it?"

The deputy chief of staff was dumb: "This..."

too crazy.

Now they all know how long the federal government has been planning the Great Return—thousands of years, and they just want to find a way to break it—?

How can it be!

Lucas pressed: "We have former researchers, original data, volunteer subjects, Zerg, and people who have had deep contact with Riley Jeffrey. We know everything they know, and there are even parts that we don't know. Why not give it a try?"

"You mean to throw all this part to the newly joined group of people?"

"Yes."

"What if they turn back? We don't know them well enough."

"Now is an extraordinary time, and I am willing to take a gamble."

Lucas answered firmly.

"...I trust your vision."

"Damn it! If it's all for this kind of sake, just gamble!"

"Okay, okay, anyway, I don't understand, just vote with you."

"..."

"I have a question."

Amidst the utterances, doubts stood out.

"Say."

"I have no objection to the establishment of the independent network, just thinking about the recruitment of the independent army... who is responsible?"

"I."

Lucas showed a sly smile: "Who said we have to recruit new recruits?"

"There is a place where we don't need to screen, there must be a large number of unaffected people."

He looked around and mentioned a group no one had thought of:

"No stay."
