Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 434: The death of Barry Pandora


  Three years have passed again...

  In the past three years, the whole world has changed a lot. With the help of the anti-sakura alliance, the contradictions in public opinion have become more and more intense, and "whether cherry blossoms should be banned" has gradually become an important topic on the Internet.

  As the people gradually learned about the existence of such things as "cherry blossoms," various chaotic debates became particularly sharp.

   But the debate belongs to the debate. Most people still think that since this thing will not affect their lives, and the robot system has not deemed it illegal, there is no need to interfere with other people's choices.

   Use it if you want to use it, or pull it off if you don’t want it. Why should it be prohibited by law? !

   This is the perception of the mainstream of society, a helpless fact.

   The population of Donghai City has moved more frequently. Some people have gone forever after traveling outside. Because Donghai City does not allow the use of "cherry blossoms", they simply relocate to other places. Anyway, they only need to make a report to move the city.

   There are also some professors from Qingbei University who have migrated from Jinghua City. Jinghua City, which has a population of more than 10 million, did not pass the vote. Now it is even more impossible.

  , including some people of insight who oppose the cherry blossoms, often come to this city to investigate how the vote was passed in the first place.

   In fact, the entire process is difficult to replicate. It just occupies a window of time, and the opposition force passed before it grew.

   Donghae City, which banned "cherry blossoms" from the very beginning, has become a stronghold of the opposition.

   Within three years, 16 referendums were held in the surrounding cities, 14 failed and 2 successful. But this result was far worse than Zhang Yuan expected.

   With the gradual spread of "Sakura", the number of users is increasing, and the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" can't even set off the 17th vote. That is to say, these three cities have become the only remaining cities in the world, and they may be counterattacked at any time.

   In the past three years, Zhang Yuan copied a large number of real-world online novels, released many games, and won a large number of fans. Under the "intimidation and lure" of various games, these fans helped Zhang Yuan when voting, but that was the case, it is really difficult to really change anything.

   Seeing the sky collapse little by little, personal power can only be regarded as a small boat in the face of the tide of the times, even self-preservation is a bit difficult, and it is possible to subvert at any time. This feeling of helplessness reminded Zhang Yuan of the previous Gliese civilization, which was really a lonely and helpless civilization, and watched him fall into the abyss step by step.

  "A political party needs a strong party to change everything!"

   But very few people responded, and even the "Anti-Sakura League" people were unwilling to participate in the so-called power struggle. Many people are willing to oppose "Sakura", but they are unwilling to give everything for it.

  ……

   In the fourth year, the inventor of "Sakura", the chemist "Barry Pandora" committed suicide by cutting his wrist at home.

   The death of this chemist did not cause any splashes in this colorful world. He just wrote a letter to the "Anti-Sakura League".

   "...I'm sorry, I created this devil, but I didn't have the power to seal it back. Everything is my responsibility."

  "...I visited our campus yesterday. I do this almost every year. I like to remember the good times when I was a child. The campus always has a motherly warmth."

  "Five years ago, our students were still full of ideals and morals. When they stepped out of society, they would choose to climb a mountain, travel the world, or find something for themselves to do... the so-called personal little dreams. "

   "But now, most people just think about how to get rid of the constraints of the robot teacher, how can they step into the society, and get greater happiness on the physical level..."

  "In social practice, the ideology of students has been polluted. Our world is no longer pure, and some demons have caught the devil on these students who have just walked out of campus, and they seduce girls Use'Sakura' to satisfy your desire to conquer..."

  "What we have built is completely different from what we have fought for...

  "I’ve been thinking about climbing a mountain, participating in a marathon, and getting spiritual enjoyment, and getting physical enjoyment directly, is there any big difference...or there is no difference in itself. Maybe again. There is an essential difference, the difference between the soul and the body, which I cannot describe."

  "Humans will not perish. With robots, humans will not perish..."

   "I'm such a coward, goodbye to this world."

   Barry Pandora wrote a lot of words incoherently. He didn't know what was so-called "good", and he didn't know what was so-called "bad". He just feels that the society like this is becoming more and more "bad", all such badness is caused by himself, and then he died at home irresponsibly...

  ……

   In the fifth year ~ IndoMTL.com~ the number of cities that banned the use of "Sakura" has changed from three to two. One of the cities passed a referendum and revised the law back.

   This is not the first major setback suffered by the "Anti-Sakura League".

   The votes that the "Anti-Sakura League" has set off in the past two years are almost an overwhelming failure. In the cities where cherry blossoms are overwhelming, the votes are almost overwhelming. At this time, verbal appeals are completely meaningless.

  , together with the insiders of the alliance, began to loosen up gradually.

  Some people feel that there is no need to work so hard at all. Indeed, as the chemist Barry Pandora said, after graduation, children are determined to climb a peak, or indulge in all kinds of material enjoyment, what is the essence of it? What's the difference?

   This world has long ceased to improve. Most of the productivity and services are provided by robots. Humans cannot be destroyed. No matter the spiritual level is better or worse, humans can still live on this planet. Go on, live a comfortable life.

  Because of their opposition to "cherry blossoms," these originally very influential people have also fallen into verbal criticism. There is still Internet violence in this world, especially when the supporters of "Sakura" occupy the vast majority...They believe that the "Anti-Sakura Alliance" wants to control more power and limit the freedom of human beings.

   That's it. After a fierce internal meeting, a large number of members of the "Anti-Sakura League" chose to leave. They have already admitted that they have failed and are no longer willing to resist too much.
