Eva 2.082
Xiao Bai pulled Qi Shi and me aside mysteriously, looking at us with great excitement without blinking.
“Remember when we talked about destroying Eva?”
Remember, that was a discussion a long time ago. The electronic management of the
whole area is extremely high, and Eva is the super brain of the world. The data center at the
top collects information from all over the region and formulates a set of social rules for its own benefit, ranging from tax provisions to public transport. It also maintains the operation of this set of rules through powerful military means.
Eva has condensed the painstaking efforts of all the staff of the Department of Science and Technology, and has formed a huge and complex management system. Countless top computer experts in the Department of Science and Technology keep an eye on Eva and fix any bug that appears.
If Eva is destroyed, the operation of the whole district will also be affected, most of the existing rules will be suspended, and people’s lives will be temporarily thrown into chaos. Any field involving electronic execution in
each district will be invalid! Area
a, Area B, and Area C have completely lost their ability to judge whether any vehicle is qualified to pass through; the database of the whole area has collapsed, and the population and economic information that was well recorded yesterday will “disappear” in an instant; there is no basis for the price of transactions in various industries, and Area B can’t even pay for a bus ride.
Simply put, it is an era dominated by electronic transactions, and the hidden rules behind it are suddenly cleared, as if the electronic age has returned to the industrial age in an instant.
Yes, indeed.. But that group of people in the Department of Science and Technology is not a dry meal, and it will be repaired sooner or later. Even without Eva, it’s only a matter of time before they reinvent a new management system. “
Yes, so what I want is not to destroy it, but to change its rules.”
On the way to the military affairs center, Xiao Bai had already said his idea initially. The big project he said he was working on was an absolutely great idea.
Lurking in the Department of Science and Technology is to understand the operation of Eva, and after understanding, Xiaobai gradually adjusted and improved on the original basis, and built a set of more appropriate operation rules in his mind. Area
a has been pressing Area B and Area C for a long time. Is it true that there are not enough resources in the whole area? I was very curious about this question, and after I went to the Department of Science and Technology, I did more detailed calculations.
“The result of the calculation is not like that at all. The resources of the whole district are enough for each district to survive at a relatively fair level.”
What Xiaobai said has been confirmed in the words of the former chief.
With the resources of this world, it is not enough to support each district to live at a relatively good level. But Area needs a sense of superiority, needs to be above others, and that instinctive greed intensifies the downward bloodsucking force of Area A.
“Obviously, as long as Area gives up something, Area B and Area C won’t have to live like this anymore, but these people just won’t let go.” The little white eyes seemed to burst into flames.
Therefore, it is impossible to achieve fairness by relying on human nature. Machines without feelings can be fair. Eva herself has no selfish desires, but has been influenced by the designer.
So, what if there is a new set of Eva? Can you imagine a system that is not built for Area and does not lean toward either side?
The more Xiaobai said, the more excited he was, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Like any technology nerd, Xiaobai always pursues the principle of technology supremacy.
He believed that machines were somehow comparable to gods, and he was fascinated by technology. Between the numerous huge screens in the
computer room, between the whispering mainframe, a bottle of drink can spend an afternoon, turning 0 and 1 into a world, Xiaobai, he is the God of the world outlined by himself. Qi Shi and
I held our breath and listened to Xiao Bai’s next amazing words.
“I made a new model based on Eva. First, I calculated the current regional disparity coefficient according to the current personal income. Then, with the goal of reducing the regional disparity, I calculated the reasonable rule settings for various output items.” Qi Shi and
I stared at him like two children listening to a story.
“It’s too detailed for you to understand, so I’ll explain it in human language.” Xiao Bai shrugged, but none of us had time to boo him.
Simply speaking, in terms of income and expenditure, there are in and out. The reason why Area is maintaining such a standard now is that the results of Area B and Area C are paid for unconditionally, and only a small part of them can be left behind.
“The most important criteria for this model are several.”
“First, the existing wealth of Area needs to be regularly allocated to the construction of Area B and Area C in large proportion.”
Second, the fruits of labor in Areas B and C can no longer be stolen, but need to be transferred at a reasonable price. In that way, each link will only make a certain amount of profit, and it won’t all end up going to Area for free.
“This is the core principle. In actual operation, all output items will be automatically and optimally allocated with the goal of narrowing the regional disparity coefficient.”
“This model, I call it Eva 2.0.” Xiao Bai proudly spits out his name, like introducing his great invention.
Our eyes are also bright.
For a long time, Area has relied on its unswerving power to maintain this set of regional rules that are beneficial to itself. The core manifestation is the monopoly of material interests, as well as the population system that can not flow at will and carry out zoning transition.
What Xiaobai said can solve the former. Area carries out large-scale wealth transfer, while Area B and Area C carry out income increase, which brings about the reduction of the gap between the two areas.
If this can really be solved, the difference between the clouds and mud in Area and Area B and Area C will be reduced, and the latter will be self-defeating. It is no longer important whether it flows to Area A.
But it soon faded again.
It’s a great idea, but there’s still the same problem. After we have hacked Eva, they can find a way to fix it or build a new system.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
“Yes, it is.” “This is the only problem that is hard to solve,” sighed Xiao Bai, somewhat melancholy. How to deal with this kind of problem
in general.. What if they were threatened and had to use it? For example, it is stipulated above that this must be done and so on, but it is certainly not stipulated above, so how can we..
Xiao Bai quickly began to describe his inner drama.
“Threats?”
“He was saying that if there were other worse consequences for not doing it, it would have to be done.” Qi Shi added lightly.
I laughed, “What’s the threat? Is Area going to explode if you don’t do it?” Explosion? Startled,
I stared at Xiao Bai in shock and suspicion. “Are you serious?”
Xiao Bai winked and said, “Yes, you are a 453 woman. You have a brilliant mind.”. I originally set a dummy variable there, like the destruction of Area or something like that.
“The rules of this model have been explained, but it has another important rule, which is the mandatory use rule.”
Imagine, if Eva is hacked, they have two options, either to change Eva, or to overthrow Eva and rebuild an electronic management system. But if I don’t follow the rules I set, or if I use a magnitude that moves beyond the outlier, it will trigger the destruction variable.
As for this destruction variable, it was originally just a setting, because I wanted to do it well, at least to make sure it was complete. But look now, isn’t it ready in front of you?
Xiao Bai’s tone was excited, as if he had drunk a few white ones. At first
I gasped and gaped, then I slapped him hard on the shoulder.
“Xiao Bai, you are a ***ing genius!”
Small white shrugs, “always be, otherwise how dare stand together with 453?”? No, you speak well, don’t he X he X…
But what I think in my heart is that I am standing with 453, and there is no place for the third person.
“Oh, yes, there is another point. The new model is aimed at reducing regional differences, so the index of per capita income cannot be omitted. The final goal is to narrow the gap between average personal income.”
“Oh, thanks to you. Do you remember the C Block improvement plan you did before? There were many unregistered households in Area C at that time, and a thorough inspection was conducted. Now they’re all in the database.
Indeed, at that time, in order to improve basic facilities, population surveys were conducted to determine the reasonable density of basic facilities. Area C was originally the area with the lowest degree of electronization, and after that, the basic data were all complete.
Countless beads seem to be connected in series to form lines, and the lines converge to form surfaces. Everything that has happened in the
past, which seems to be a coincidence and a random event, has become a tower in a moment, which seems incredible at this moment.
It’s as if fate has pushed us here, as if everything you’ve been through is pointing you in this direction.
We stand in front of this switch that can trigger earth-shaking changes, and we can press it at any time. But there’s only one chance.
“The opportunity to change the world is at hand. Do you want to start?”
Xiao Bai looked at us expectantly, and we responded almost without hesitation: “Let’s do it!” It’s not our job to
change the world, and it’s hard to change. Former chief, old J, countless people are trapped in this big net of interest entanglement, some people want to change and can not change, some people pull the trigger and move the whole body, some people are gradually assimilated to lose the original intention of those warm-blooded, some people enjoy vested interests and muddle along.. The only people who
really have the determination and perseverance to change the world with the preparation to lose everything are probably the real conscious people, such as the friend in the former chief’s mouth, and the people who are really oppressed by suffering.
But it’s not easy.
Faced with the reality of a huge gap in material conditions, extremely complex people’s hearts, may lack sufficient wisdom and justice in top-level design..
And now, suddenly, an opportunity to find a new path has presented itself.
Like a meteor, abrupt and dazzling. Incredible as if it were an unreal bubble that could easily be punctured.
More importantly, it is fleeting.
“Do it, can it get any worse than it is now?”
Anyway, the left one after another. The former has Zhao Ye, who has not been completely defeated by the struggle, and the latter has a fake old J who is ready to raid into Area A. In any case, Qi Shi and I are restless.
It is better to seize this fleeting opportunity now, even if it may not succeed, but at least take action. Just do it
. According to Xiaobai’s instructions, we need to help him enter the high-energy weapon control center of the military affairs center, where the relationship between Eva2.0 and the explosive devices in the blasting area is linked.
Because of the unique material of the Military Affairs Department, weapon control has opened its own management branch, which is not directly linked to Eva. After a lot of
planning, I looked back and saw Caron. The three of us just whispered a lot, and I don’t know how much he heard. But he didn’t say anything.
General. We need access to the High Energy Weapons Control Center. Please evacuate the others temporarily so as not to disturb the work of the personnel of the Science and Technology Department. I gazed into his eyes and lied naturally. As an experienced general, Caron should know better than anyone whether the
bomb needs to enter the core of the military affairs center.
Caron’s dark brown eyes stared coldly at us. There was plenty of air conditioning in the Military Affairs Department, but it was not as sharp as Caron’s eyes. He was weighing something, perhaps not just thinking about the truth of the words. I can
vaguely feel that he also knows that we are going in to do something great.
“General, the fate of the whole region is now in your hands.”
He did not directly order us to be arrested, which shows that he has been weighing in his heart.
I went on to add, “The general has always been admired for upholding justice in the region.”
“But General, have you ever thought that the justice you are defending is really justice?” Can “justice” for the sake of a small number of people still be called justice?
Three pairs of eyes stared nervously at Caron. The first step to
success is whether Caron will let it go.
Caron’s upright body, even at any moment, is like a monument, emitting an unshakable majesty.
He stared at us coldly for a long time, but his voice was still as cold as steel: “Cooperate with all the requirements of the personnel of the Science and Technology Department, and be sure to solve the problem before the explosion!”
With Caron’s words, it’s like letting us go.
We need to run both ways, take out the tricky bomb planted by the fake old J in the warehouse in the blast zone, and get to the control center at the same time. Small white excuse said that needs many links, actually solves the bomb not to need in the control center.
Then a man in military uniform, instructed by Caron, led the way. After
leaving the crowd, Xiao Bai began to complain in a low voice: “He didn’t stop us. He’s not in a hurry, is he?” It
should not be caused by anxiety. Caron’s eyes are still absolutely rational and sober, ensuring that timely and decisive decisions are made under any circumstances.
Perhaps, what he has experienced has begun to make him doubt whether the justice he is defending is the real justice? Suddenly there was a feeling of respect in
my heart.
Caron is the only respectable person I’ve seen on the top floor so far. He’s a real general. After
entering the control center, Xiaobai’s operation was as fierce as a tiger, touching the console, looking at the big screen, and quickly finding out the operating system in the control center.
His fingers moved quickly, crackling on the operating terminal he brought.
“The bomb has been solved. If it wants time, then give it time. Set an infinite time in the future. These guys in the Military Affairs Department are sure to be able to solve it in the near future.”
“As for the correlation, let’s correlate all the most powerful weapons here, and then set the absolute displacement of the position not to exceed a radius of 300 meters, so as to prevent them from clearing the place back.”
If you want to do it, you have to do something big. Xiaobai has carried out this principle perfectly. Qi Shi and
I stared in fascination, but we couldn’t do anything except help him deliver water and fan wind.
It was after midnight, and the light of dawn would soon fall.
“Just wait for Eva 2.0 to cover the dropped Eva. Just wait.”
Finally, Xiaobai stopped the action in his hand, and we watched the progress bar in the screen move forward little by little.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
I walked over suspiciously and turned on the communication switch to speak to the outside. The door of the control center is tight and thick, isolating any outside movement.
Who? The process is not finished yet, and we can’t be disturbed yet.
“Sister, it’s me.”
From the speaker came the voice of a child, with a familiar crispness and cheerfulness.
Lucie? Why is he here? It’s not easy for
my sister to come back after such a long time. I want to see my sister for the first time. My sister didn’t contact me, so I had to come by myself. Lucy’s tone is as innocent as ever, but we all know that there is something else hidden beneath the surface.
“Open the door.” Like a lump in my throat,
I hesitated to open it. At this moment, Lucy suddenly came over and always felt something was wrong.
“Open the door. If you don’t, I’ll contact my uncle right now and tell him what you’re doing.”
…… And learned to threaten.
When I was ready to open the door, Qi Shi frowned.
“It’s all right. I’ll go out by myself. You’re here to protect Xiaobai. Make sure you hold on until the end of the release.” I whispered.
“Tut, that’s right.”. It’s not enough for you to spend time with Josh every day. It’s not easy to have some time alone between our men.
The door opens a crack through which a person passes, and then it is closed again.
Lucie was still delicately dressed and looked at me with her head held high like a proud little nobleman.
We found a quiet corner not far away, and I moved my mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“My sister has changed. She doesn’t even talk to me with a smile anymore.” He suddenly uttered such a sentence, and his tone was still calm.
I grinned with what may not be a pretty smile. “Sorry, too much has happened recently.”
But in a flash he felt a certain pathos, and immediately put on a more natural smile. “When everything settles down, how about I have fun with Lucy?” What’s wrong with
Lucy? He’s only a half-grown boy. Always show an optimistic side to your children.
Lucie smiled. “What is my sister talking about? She can’t even protect herself. Do you still want to comfort me?”
I looked over with some confusion and caution. He was smiling, innocent and harmless, but the words coming out of his mouth were confusing. If it blows up
here, why should it stop it? They’re just rotten people, and it doesn’t matter if they’re destroyed.
I looked at him for two seconds, and I always felt something was wrong. When he said “here,” he was not referring to the four buildings that were required to be evacuated. He should have said that he also knew that a bomb had been planted in the military affairs center.
Knowing the internal affairs of the Military Affairs Department, I came here as soon as I came back. He didn’t come here specially to see me.
“We went to a lot of trouble to plant the bomb in such an important place. Sister, how can you stop it?”
Lucy’s words were like a volcano that had been expected to erupt, but it still erupted in front of her eyes.
So Lucy, because of her beautiful appearance, was picked from the C area, and then stepped into another bright and beautiful abyss. When did the fake old J get on the line with Lucy? It started as early as Area C, or maybe later?
“Sister, you know, I haven’t had a family for a long time.”
In that disgusting place of C4, no single child can survive. We can only beg, pick up food, sleep on the street where no one notices, and there is no shelter to keep out the rain. My body is smelly every day, so smelly that I want to rub myself rotten.
“But they said I was beautiful and could have a better life.”
I followed them. I wanted to live a better life. There were a lot of people there, a lot of beautiful people, but they looked like they were dead again. I don’t know what’s in store for me. Maybe it’s something more terrible.
One day, I saw a boy being beaten.. There was blood coming out from below, like intestines coming out. I don’t know. I regret it. I wonder if I should go back to begging.
He was trembling, his voice had no waves, and he spoke faster than usual, as if he wanted to skip this part as soon as possible. But it was clear that he was trembling, cutting himself open and recalling the darkest past.
My eyes are wet.
Then someone came and took me away. Then I came here, and for the first time I saw so many tall buildings and so many shining things. You can eat the most delicious food and wear the most beautiful clothes. My uncle said I was very good-looking and asked me to be his relative. I thought I would have a good life.
“But, but..” Lucy lowered her head and her voice became so soft that she seemed to be unable to speak.
“I finally know why the intestines of the boy who was beaten came out..”
“I feel so sick. Every day I want to rub myself..”
“Stop it.”
I finally couldn’t help going up and hugged Lucie, hugging him and starting to cry. I half leaned over, my head resting on Lucy’s shoulder, and began to cry uncontrollably.
Why? Why are these things happening? What should not have happened in any world, why did Lucie go through this? He’s just a kid.
I felt so sad that I felt like I had a big hole in my chest.
Witnessed the great grief of Lucy, but there was no way at all.
He stayed alone in the dark and muddy abyss, repeating his pain day after day.
Lucie was calmer. “So sister, you know why. They all deserve to die, to die!”
I just held him in my arms and burst into tears, saying, “I’m sorry, it’s not your fault.” It’s not your fault..
I hugged Lucy and cried like that, and the two figures snuggled up to each other in the huge military affairs center. My eyes were full of the touch of moist and warm tears, and I couldn’t tell whether it was mine or Lucy’s. Did
he cry? I don’t know, until he finally calmed down.
“So sister, have you decided to stop the explosion now?” Lucy looked up at me like a beautiful and fragile rose.
I sniffed and nodded.
I don’t know what to say. Maybe they all deserve to die. Maybe some of them don’t deserve to die. But, but..
I’m speechless.
I want to say a lot, such as that destruction may not be the best way to solve the problem, that there are countless people who want to build a more just and better world, even those who have given everything they have, that there is hope, that through more efforts, maybe no one will experience what he has experienced in the future..
But at this moment, in front of Lucy, I can’t say anything. He was
there, and he went through a lot of darkness, and the pain fell on him substantially, and then you persuaded him to pursue the light? How could I? How could I do that.
Lucie lowered his head with some disappointment, and his long eyelashes hung down to cover his eyes.
And then a long silence. As long as
he contacts the chief now, or the people on the side of the fake old J, our actions will be hindered. The chief may send someone to arrest us first, and the fake old J may arrange for the nearest person to come and get rid of us.
He looked up again and asked only one question.
“Sister, why did you say you would take me away before?”
I was stunned and remembered what he was asking.
After the chief’s negotiations, Lucie showed us the way before the five-minute hunt that targeted Qi Shi began. At that time, I asked him if he would like to go with us.
“Because, because you look desperate, like you’re asking for help..”
Although he never opened his mouth, although he was armed with noble dress and reserved expression, he could still hear a faint cry for help.
In the bottomless abyss, it is lonely to convey.
「……」
Lucy didn’t speak.
That night, Lucy didn’t report us in the end. He’s gone.
I went back to the control center and watched with Qi Shi and Xiao Bai that the progress bar gradually reached 100%, and then officially reached 100%.
No fireworks, no applause, that moment was so quiet that it was hard to imagine that Eva2.0 was really released successfully.
But it was released. Area was instantly paralyzed, but before the awake people could figure out what had happened, they were attracted by four explosions.
At dawn, the four buildings collapsed. The force of the explosion was so powerful that it almost woke people sleeping in the surrounding blocks. All the people who were still awake in the
vicinity, who had been evacuated and found a safe area for shelter, saw the scene of the collapse of the building.
To the sky, witness the financial and material resources, even at night also appears to be incomparably magnificent tall buildings, collapsed. The Tower
of Babel collapsed, and Area no longer holds miracles.
