"The world is full of contradictions, and becoming a human means accepting human imperfections."
""Mechanical Butler"?"
"Um."
Lu Wen nodded, he retracted his distant gaze and stood up calmly.
The world outside the store remains the same.
There is no coming and going, only fragmentation and prosperity.
Six pm.
The meeting over there is over.
One by one, the participants left the projection system hungry, and the final results came out.
It’s pretty much what Lu Wen thought.
"no result."
It was simply announced that a referendum would be held three days later.
During the meeting.
Representatives from both companies tried their best.
They work hard to make their point.
Data were used to express the benefits that bionic humans bring to various industries and urban economic development, and brought the latest progress of the R&D departments of the two companies.
It is said that the sixth generation of androids will be an absolutely safe generation.
Adopting the latest design concept, the body is no longer a simple fuse measure, but a separate control program is added to each part and each module. Even if the brain wants to go against human beings, the body will not allow it.
But the anti-android lawmakers at the meeting just made one point.
[Crisis of Confidence]
After an android riot.
Public trust in androids has reached an all-time low.
Even if the two companies make fantastic claims, they still cannot satisfy those people.
The meeting ended with such back-and-forth debate and debate.
No conclusion yet.
We can only wait until three days later for the referendum.
"The content of the referendum will be made public in the early morning of three days. People are asked to vote rationally and from all angles..."
"Residents who meet the following conditions can participate in this vote: they are over 18 years old and have no past history of mental illness..."
The publicity came out quickly.
Suddenly, nine cities were surrounded by topics related to androids.
All conflicts between cities were completely suppressed.
The top three topics currently ranked are:
[Please vote to expel the androids]
[Please vote for the destruction of androids]
[Advertising space for rent]
Lu Wen simply collected some information and data and classified and compared them through keywords such as "destroy", "expell", "remain", "attitude" and so on.
Found out ten minutes since the announcement.
Only 13% support androids remain, which is pitifully low.
Another 8% remained neutral.
The rest hold opposing views.
"The public opinion offensive is not enough." Lu Wen pinched his chin, frowned and thought for a moment, then started to create another topic on the Internet.
[If only one kind of android could stay, which one would you like to keep?]
[A Housekeeping android: Housework (laundry, cooking...)]
[B Labor-type bionic man: industry (inspection, installation, transportation...), external work (...)]
[C security bionic man: guard (community, enterprise, park...)]
[D Extreme android: special environment (deep sea, volcano, space...)]
[E Entertainment type humanoid...]
[F…]
[…]
Give people a choice.
Lu Wen wants to give everyone a psychological hint
[Questions about bionic humans]
[There are not only two directions: "going" and "staying"]
Diffusion thinking.
Considering the needs of some people, if it is necessary to drive away those androids who are not of much use to the individual, they can be driven away.
Lu Wen guided the topic and quickly appeared in front of everyone.
Then there was another heated discussion.
This national discussion will last for three days, and will be more intense than any mayoral election, change of council members, or even celebrity weddings...
"Did you initiate this topic?" Xia Chuluo asked.
"Can this be seen?"
"The amount of discussion and popularity increased so fast. I received a notification about this topic as soon as I turned on my phone. Someone must be behind it. I think the two companies have not had time to respond effectively."
"You can't say that. Don't underestimate the two companies."
"This is a good topic. It can leave a hint in the hearts of city residents, telling them that androids may eventually stay, at least part of them will stay."
Let everyone be prepared and mentally prepared to accept it in advance.
at dusk.
Lu Wen took the opportunity to visit Bilan's branch in Mowu City.
Very close to the Parliament Building.
In the square at the entrance of the company, the statues of Dr. Blue River and A00 have been replaced with new ones. The old statues had their heads cut off during the last anti-android operation and were thrown into the lobby on the first floor.
"Classmate Lu Wen has returned to his parents' home. Welcome!"
“…”
"Ms. Xia is here too. Warm welcome!"
“…”
The atmosphere within the company is pretty good.
At least there is no feeling of being about to close down or be lifeless.
No one shouted with a loudspeaker outside the company: The boss is running away with his sister-in-law...
People are coming and going in the corridor, blue and white are mixed and intertwined, projection and reality collide, it is still full of technology.
Although the lowest-level production and manufacturing departments are currently not working and are unemployed at home, researchers in the R&D department still insist on clocking in every day.
"To be honest, there is no design pressure during this period. We can do whatever we want. In fact, we are very happy."
"In the past, we were competing with Xinhong for speed to see who could come up with the sixth-generation design earlier."
"And the salary will be paid as usual, Bilan is not short of this money."
Lu Wen thought, salary should be the key.
Who wants to work without a salary
In his false memories, when he was learning programming in his previous life, he had a lot of fun learning it. But then when he got a job, he had to do brick-and-mortar work like CRUD every day. He finally got to a high level and could create the project framework by himself and designate others. When I went to get a filling, I suddenly fell ill again...
A serious illness can make many people see the value of life.
Lu Wen has been thinking that if he really has such a life and survives, he will definitely not do programming again in the future, but will do what he wants to do.
"The public relations department should not worry about money these three days. If you need to buy ads and do publicity, just do it. I will try my best to help you." Lu Wen said.
"Don't worry, we are already spending money."
The biggest use of this money is to awaken people's nostalgia for androids.
After all, technology makes life better.
"Hot search topics, TV commercials, professional analysts, public accounts... we bought everything we could, and we have been releasing snippets of beautiful life brought by bionic people in the past few days."
"Our biggest target group is those social animals, the one-person type, mainly between the ages of 16 and 48. They are usually busy with work and eat takeout every day. When they get home, they either fall asleep, play games or browse short stories. Video relieves emptiness…”
These social animals will receive countless good news about androids in these three days.
The emergence of bionic humans has indeed saved this group to a certain extent.
Living alone for a long period of time, under highly stressful circumstances, may cause some kind of mental problems.
Someone was so stressed that he jumped from the 30th floor.
Some people brandished sharp weapons and charged at innocent passers-by.
There have been many questionnaires here at Bilan.
For example, ask those who like to play stand-alone games why they are addicted to them.
Those people said that today's large-scale stand-alone games are very real, and the NPCs are very intelligent. The flowers, plants, houses and rivers in them are like another real world. In that world, they can get married and have children, perform heroic acts, or shuttle among zombies. The broken country, or running in the vast wilderness of the west, those worlds can bring them happiness.
There are many other surveys showing this.
Most young people feel that if they have no family or so-called relatives, they will be much less stressed, and they would be more willing to do what they like to do rather than work in an industry with high wages.
"After eighty years of development, Bilan has the best analysis team and has perfectly collected the needs and weaknesses of every age group of human beings."
"Our top analysts here only need to get an average person's daily time schedule to infer that person's current emotional status, quality of life, work pressure, daily needs, etc... "
This huge group machine is obviously well prepared to deal with this crisis.
It's up to people to plan things, as to whether they can succeed in the end...
It can only be said that they tried their best.
…
Lake Bottom Research Institute, Baker City.
Lu Wen's consciousness entered a body, he stood up and moved his limbs, beginning to adapt.
Dr. Jiang is still analyzing the No. 1 chip, and the progress is very slow. The progress in the past few days has been almost zero.
Yin June went out to play.
The red-haired girl could never sit still.
The projection of No. 1 is walking around the institute.
Sometimes he stopped to think, and sometimes he stepped forward to watch Dr. Jiang analyze his chip.
He has been much calmer these days, spending more than half of his time thinking, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about.
Lu Wen briefly greeted Dr. Jiang, and then looked at No. 1.
"I had a chat with No. 3 yesterday, and he told me the truth. Do you want to know?"
"What truth?"
No. 1 stopped thinking and turned his attention to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen then released a clip of his chat with No. 3.
The entire episode, nothing was missed.
Read it carefully on the 1st.
This time he seemed more rational. He did not shout that this was the truth immediately after the video ended. Instead, he lowered his head and analyzed it for a while before looking up and saying: "There should be truth and lies."
Lu Wen smiled and said, "You have changed a lot during this time."
"Some memories flashed through my mind from time to time. If what No. 3 said was right, then the memories could match it, but the smile of No. 3 gave me a very false feeling."
"Why do you say that?" Lu Wen asked.
"I was a teacher, and I know whether every student's laughter, joy, and anger towards me are real or fake."
"But you're just an elementary school teacher."
“…”
No. 1 choked immediately.
He glanced at Lu Wen, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Lu Wen at this time.
After briefly sorting out his thoughts, his virtual projection sat on one side and said seriously: "Don't underestimate today's primary school students. Many primary school students have better acting skills than those fresh stars on TV."
