Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 436: 12 years
As the wish was fulfilled, Donghai City’s foreign exchanges began to drastically decrease, the Internet was full of comments about jets, and the number of people traveling abroad also drastically decreased.
An inexplicable sense of superiority appeared in the hearts of the residents of Donghae City. Under the planning of Zhang Yuan and others, they actually felt that they were superior... the members of the organization celebrated with each other. In fact, this situation is not too good, at least Donghai City, temporarily saved.
However, Zhang Yuan deeply knows that the so-called xenophobia must establish a long-term sense of superiority, otherwise it will not last for a long time.
What's more, another city that bans "cherry blossoms", without the superiority of their Donghai City, is in the midst of crumbling.
A city cannot fight a world.
Zhang Yuan wrote in his diary: "Our city is too small. Under the influence of xenophobia, the population is decreasing, and the population of immigrants has almost stagnated. This is not a good phenomenon."
"The current population size has dropped sharply to 1.5 million, and it is still declining... Population stagnation is a very big hidden danger."
……
The seventh year.
The second city that originally banned "Sakura" did not form a wave of populism, and began to abolish the original laws and reopen "Sakura". Only the only remaining "Donghai City" remains in the entire world.
This is another major blow to the members of the organization.
Even with the slow migration of the population, Donghai City is also in a precarious state.
Ideological exclusion means that population inflow will become more difficult. If regional discrimination against other immigrants, including some outstanding immigrants, is also discriminated against, then the number of people who want to settle in this city will be much smaller. Who wants to be discriminated against for no reason?
Regarding public opinion issues in this regard, even Zhang Yuan can't control it. Populism is such a dangerous thing. It is impossible for him to control the thoughts of everyone in Donghai City. It is too difficult to detect the case.
And many local people can't stand the long-term scolding war. The population movement in this world is very simple. Just make a report to the robot society. No one knows where you are from, and no one knows where you are going. ...
More and more people choose to escape from this city on the cusp of trouble. After all, most people just want to live a peaceful life instead of despising or being despised by others. Fortunately for one or two years, no one can stand it for a long time.
In the robot public support system, the number of babies born is determined according to the current population.
If the population of the entire city decreases, it means that the population of other cities increases. Then the number of babies born in this city will also decrease, so that the total number of births of the global population will remain unchanged.
"Donghai City" is caught in a dilemma of decreasing population...
eighth year......
Ninth year......
Zhang Yuan led all scientists to try to crack the code of the robot society, and disintegrate the social system from the root. The members of the organization defected again. These scientists are unwilling to overthrow the existing system. They think Zhang Yuan's radical plan is not feasible.
After a lot of effort, Zhang Yuan suddenly discovered that the so-called robot code is actually a part of the code of Pangu Brain itself, and there is no possibility of cracking it. The virtual world is equivalent to a low-dimensional cage. If he can crack the code, it is equivalent to directly breaking through the virtual world, which is almost impossible.
The dawn of victory has never appeared. The best result is not to let yourself back down, but no matter how much effort you put in, there is no way to move forward, and it is impossible to spread your thoughts to other cities.
As time passed year after year, the whole world didn't get any improvement, but it got worse and worse. This could not help but plunge everyone into internal suspicion.
There are no people who have enough faith, and left the team one by one...
……
the twelfth year.
"...I just went to the Mount Everest climbing camp. There are indeed fewer people climbing there than before." Ma Mingtao carried a travel bag and walked down the subway station in a dusty manner. He wiped it. He sighed with the sweat on his face: "In other cities, I don't even dare to say that I am from Donghai City... Geographical discrimination is getting more and more serious."
"...They were playing games we made and watching novels created by our city, but when they heard that they were from Donghai City, if there weren't robots nearby, they would be fighting. It was like a life or death enemy. , Hey, what is this!"
"Fortunately, our city has persisted until now, and finally there is a place to stay."
"How is your place?"
Listening to Ma Mingtao’s report, even Zhang Yuan himself was a little bit confused, but he quickly regrouped and said in a low voice: "A few more experts have left the team. They just want to live a peaceful life. …Some people gave up, some people still persisted. The dawn of victory has never appeared, and failure should be a high probability."
"Really? Someone always walks." Ma Mingtao put down his backpack and sat on a chair in the subway station, "Only you... will insist on being an enemy of the whole world. One hundred and one One hundred thousand people, to fight against more than three billion?"
" But I feel more and more that you are doing the right thing. You have to go to more places to experience the different changes in the past few years... Most of the city's cultural output has ceased There are some drunks who fell on the road. Although there have been drunks in the past, there are more of them now. They can no longer control their emotions, and they drink too much when they drink."
"There are other types of girls...you know, they like to sit on chairs in the park and eat sweets. A little bit of glucose can make their bodies tremble slightly, and they can be easily distinguished."
"As long as you say hello to them, you can easily go to the hotel. It is impossible to imagine this kind of thing in the past. Under the magnification of the cherry blossoms, the psychological pleasure of mixing shame and guilt is comparable to eating a little glucose More intense..."
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly: “Many of our men in Donghai City are attracted to this... Students who have just graduated will leave for other cities as soon as they walk out of the school."
"But~IndoMTL.com~Is this really good?" Ma Mingtao sighed in a low voice. After so many years, he is no longer the boy in his twenties.
When there are enough places to go, there will always be a series of thoughts.
"Humans are like beasts, full of low-level tastes. Dreams are words that belong exclusively to humans. Other animals have no dreams. What is the difference between people with dreams and people without dreams... Sometimes when you return to Donghai City, you will feel the subtle tranquility."
Ma Mingtao was silent for a while, and then asked: "Next, what plans do you have?"
"Let's go, don't think so much, go home!" Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and walked in front of the road.
The sun has set, and the burning clouds in the sky look very peaceful, and the sun will leave soon. But the next day, it will rise again on time, never missed the appointment.
When I got home, Wang Nana cooked a table of dishes. The four members of the small family had their own thoughts. It has been a long time since they got together to eat together.
Two tortoises that have been raised since graduation, after such a long period of time, they are as big as a washbasin, and they can eat a lot of vegetables in one meal.
However, the world has changed drastically in the 12 years since "Sakura" appeared.
There is always no hero who can turn the tide in the world, and neither can Zhang Yuan.
Wang Nana ate and couldn't help crying.
Everyone was silent, without speaking.
