Chapter 334 The old age of slow death, free breathing
From a macro perspective, Yuanxing almost changed overnight and completely changed its appearance.
There are many typical cases.
For example, the stock market, which determines most of Yuanxing's capital flow and never rests, went down on the spot.
All the databases and communication methods of the stock market are built in the system core of "Net", and because the data is too large and the variables are too complex, only Shenxun Group has a backup on the human side.
But the current problem is that electromagnetic communication cannot support this amount of information at all, and most people on the Source Star are accustomed to the indirect use of information flow communication through watch relays.
Now that the watch is invalid, no one knows how to log in to the stock market again, and no one can see their own accounts.
This is not even more serious.
Since Yuanxing is a paperless system, all financial information, including but not limited to each person's account and bearer account data, are all in the "net", and now they have all evaporated.
All debt relationships and existing assets will evaporate.
The means of production on the Source Star lost their monetary properties in a very short period of time, and only real objects had value.
In addition, as one after another unmanned or managed transport aircraft lost communication and broke down on the road, the never-ending logistics system on Source Star also temporarily stopped.
No one knows how long it will take to fix it all, or what will happen in the process.
The beleaguered association is trying to analyze the situation and try to issue temporary decrees to control the situation.
It is not difficult for the association's orders to reach various urban and county towns, but the process is more complicated for them to be implemented in every town and every person's ears.
Unlike before, no matter how complex the command is, it only needs to be broadcast through the watch, and everyone can get the information instantly.
As for now, at least until the association rebuilds information pathways, most small towns have become information islands.
But even so, the humans of Source Star did not lose confidence in the association when they woke up, and no one started a storm immediately.
The Association has ruled Source Star for too long. The ubiquitous "Net" and the never-ending hunters have given the humans of Source Star such a strong sense of oppression that most people don't know that the "Net" disappeared.
I just thought it was a small bug that would be fixed soon.
The only people who really know the inside story are probably a few people in the Shenxun Group, the top leaders of the association, the nine elders who were awakened, as well as the instigator Ren Zhong and the captain of the night watchman Shi Lin who happened to meet Ren Zhong at the first time.
Under Shilin's confused gaze, Ren Zhong first waved his hand, using Chi Fengjia's intellectual brain center as the core, remotely activated the town's self-developed backup intelligent center, and at the same time activated the wireless communication built on the top of the town's tower.
base station.
The performance of this base station is not comparable to that of the Ghost Particle Communicator. The data transmission capacity is about the same as that of an authentic 5G station in the early 21st century, which is basically sufficient.
Immediately afterwards, Ren Zhong remotely activated the backup communication chips carried by each night watchman through the base station.
He didn't say much, "Everyone, I have a heavy responsibility. Don't panic, this is just a technical adjustment by the association. Highly integrated smart equipment is temporarily unavailable, but the firearms in your hands are still stable. Please adjust your thinking immediately and change equipment.
, return to your respective posts. Even if we only have guns, our equipment level is far higher than six months ago, so there is nothing to be nervous about."
Ren Zhong's speech was not very good, just like gossiping, but the strange thing was that when these people heard his voice, they felt at ease.
Immediately afterwards, the electromagnetic communications in the other ten towns under his control basically returned to normal.
This is all due to the high-power directional antennas he deployed in various towns in advance, as well as the ten Ren Group's exclusive orbit-determining communication satellites that he recently spent 2 billion points on.
Ren Zhong's speech also reached the ears of other people in the ten towns.
The Huangren under his banner have absolute trust in him. On the one hand, it comes from his long-term strength and ability to quickly accumulate wealth, and on the other hand, it comes from the generosity and kindness shown in the policies he pursues.
The most important thing is that most people know that he just spent more than 10 trillion in cash to purchase supplies.
No matter what happens and what kind of chaos will happen outside, at least the people under the rule of the Ren Group can be guaranteed to have enough food and clothing.
After all these arrangements were made, Ren Zhong began to pay attention to the situation in the other hemisphere through the intelligence system established by tens of thousands of migrant scavengers from Spark Town.
It's late at night in Xinghuo Town in the Eastern Hemisphere, but it's daytime in the Western Hemisphere.
Most small towns completed the shrinking of the entire population in a very short period of time, and then entered an eerie silence.
Town mayors in various places have issued temporary decrees requiring all deserters to stop their activities immediately and wait for orders from superiors.
However, each different region has different customs and customs, and some mayors have a strong control over the town, while other mayors are in vain.
Therefore, without the assistance and supervision of the "net", the desert people in different areas immediately showed different behaviors.
Some towns with very strong folk customs immediately fell into chaos. Some powerful scavengers immediately began to rob the weak more cruelly. Many people died instantly at the mouths of the beasts because their equipment was out of control.
A few hours passed, and when it dawned the next day, many small towns in the Western Hemisphere had completed a small shuffle. Only then did the desert people in the first continent of the Eastern Hemisphere finally get rid of the control of their biological clocks and gather together to discuss the dynamics of the incident.
Ren Zhongxian summoned 11 town mayors, including Madafu, and held an online meeting.
With Ma Dafu as a hardcore insider and the iron puppet of the three towns of Chongyi, Ren Zhong did not spend much effort to establish the Ren Group's absolute control over this emergency.
The reason is simple. Compared with the town guards and the town government's own resources, the team of scavengers cultivated by Ren's Group's semi-military management has the strongest military strength.
With military power, it is natural to ensure the safety of Ren Zhong's property. Unfortunately, Ren Zhong also holds the largest amount of land and assets in each town, and he also reserves a large amount of strategic resources.
When the association's logistics system cannot be repaired, the resources in Ren Zhong's hands are the supreme authority that can influence the fate of each town.
Of course, Ren Zhong did not make any excessive demands. He only asked these mayors to continue business as usual and strengthen the circulation of internal personnel and resources.
"I have stored a batch of chips here, and I have also established a communication system. So in a maximum of three days, I can rebuild the Ren Group's transportation system to and from various towns. In addition, although the failure of the watch has caused a loss of people's finances,
There is a problem with the situation. But it doesn't matter. I have used the new communication system to establish a settlement system that is currently only applicable to employees of the Ren Group. This cannot be called currency, it can only be called tokens. After the information is restored, I
The token system of Ren Group will be integrated back into the contribution point settlement system and it will be responsible for its own profits and losses."
"In short, no one knows what will happen next. But I will not allow any turmoil in my industry. I hope everyone will cooperate with me."
After saying this, Ren Zhong announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Town mayors from various places have different feelings in their hearts.
Ma Dafu knew that he had a lot of work to do and finally got the opportunity he had dreamed of.
Most of the other town mayors were amazed by Ren Zhongbi's faster response speed.
Of course, there are some differences between the two. Ren Zhong only needs to consider the affairs of the eleven towns under its control, but the Association not only has to consider the world, but also all conditions in the entire galaxy.
The biggest crisis right now is not on the Source Star, but in those space bases.
Various bases in space are more dependent on the "net", and without the assistance of artificial intelligence, some bases cannot even guarantee oxygen circulation.
After the meeting, Ren Zhong was invited to the town government by Ma Dafu.
The fat old man's face was full of excitement and nervousness, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
But even so, he still made a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Ren Zhong, "My intuition tells me that you know the best. Can you tell me what happened?"
Ren Zhong picked up the tea cup and said, "Old Ma, this is both good news and bad news."
"Tell me, I'm mentally prepared."
“‘Net’ is dead.”
Ma Dafu: "This is impossible."
Ren Zhong: "We destroyed it with our own hands, why is it impossible?"
Madafu shook his head repeatedly, "But the association will repair it sooner or later."
Ren Zhong: "First, this is a very unlikely time. Second, even if the association repairs the network, I will destroy it again."
Ma Dafu pondered for a long time, "So what are your next plans?"
Ren Zhong: "As I told you a long time ago, and as you and I have been pursuing, the life of the deserted people on the Source Star is too miserable. The correctness of the Great Migration is still open to question. We sympathize with the deserted people.
People also know the value of the Desolate People. We should work hard to change this situation and give the Desolate People a relatively fair opportunity. Human technology on the Source Star has actually been stagnant for a long time. The top leaders of the association have pinned all their hopes on the Empire.
However, based on my observations, I can conclude that there are only nine people with vested interests in the end. It is those nine frozen elders, and all other Source Star people are essentially just
They are just slaves of the nine elders. Including you and me, so we must stand up and resist."
Ma Dafu: "But don't you think this is too far-fetched? There is a disparity in power between the enemy and us, and I can't see the possibility."
"According to conventional understanding, Lao Ma, as a member of the Yangsheng Ma family, you are also a vested interest, and it is impossible for you to sympathize with Huangren. But Lao Ma, not only did you do it yourself, Ma Xiaoling also did it. So this world
There is nothing absolutely impossible in the world. You don’t have to worry, I’m not reckless. For the time being, I will only disclose these ideas to the innermost circle of our team. As for the outside world, they will still only regard me as a human being.
A genius capitalist."
Ma Dafu: "But..."
"Old Ma, you have to know that everyone has the instinct to pursue fairness. Most of the desert people today are in ignorance and have become numb because they have been oppressed since birth, but it does not mean that they really accept their fate in their hearts. At present, it seems
The strength in my hands is very weak, only eleven towns. But we are the torch, and we will continue to infect more people to become our like-minded people. The power belonging to us will become stronger and stronger, and the power belonging to the ruling class will become stronger.
It becomes weaker and weaker. Under the ebb and flow, as long as the flame we set off never goes out, we will definitely achieve final success. Any revolution has only a spark at the beginning, but in the end it becomes a prairie fire.
potential.”
Madafu shook his head repeatedly, "I don't understand what you are talking about. What is revolution? Is it a change in the system? But it has never happened in human history..."
Ren Zhong: "That history is false. Regardless of the theory of the origin of the Source Star or its ten thousand-year history, they are all illusions. Although I have no clear evidence, I think that the Origin Star actually only has a history of a short thousand years. The nine major groups started from the very beginning.
They firmly control everything. If the 'net' has always existed, then they can continue this control until the end of time. But now, the 'net' is gone. Next, we will wait and see what happens, continue to cultivate the desolate people, and continue to grow stronger
My army. After waiting for an appropriate time, I will start to expand as a predator. When I have the ability to compete with the entire era, or when I can destroy each other with the association, I will have the means to negotiate with them.
Confidence. Of course, the so-called negotiations are just a cover, and the revolution must be thorough after all. Lao Ma, I hope you understand that this is not a hasty thinking on my part, but a decision that I have carefully considered. Regarding the Great Migration, I know
I have more information than you. Now I can tell you..."
Lao Ma, who was born a citizen, has a more complete world view and a more deep-rooted respect for the Yuanxing system, so he has repeatedly questioned Ren Zhong's point of view.
But he was Ren Zhong's true self. When he realized that Ren Zhong's determination was unshakable and the matter was a done deal, he was finally persuaded by Ren Zhong and chose to go with Ren Zhong's pirate ship and fight together.
Next, Ren Zhong called together all the core subordinates including Ju Qingmeng, Yu Jin, Zheng Tiandei, Tang Shuying, Shi Xuan, Jiang Kai and others.
At this meeting, Ren Zhongxian bluntly told everyone what happened and released his ambitions without concealment.
"Within five years, rule the first continent and establish a loyal army that will absolutely obey my orders. And you will be the original team of my cause. When I was still down and out, I told you that I would eliminate
The unfairness in Xinghuo Town, I want to make the desolate people in Xinghuo Town live like human beings. Let the tragedy that happened to you never happen again as much as possible, and let every criminal pay the price. In the past, there was surveillance by the 'Net', these words
It's not convenient for me to say it out loud, so I can only hide it in my heart. At the same time, I'm observing each of you. Now that I can tell the truth and do real things, I hope you won't let me down."
"In the distant future, when the humans of Source Star develop into a real civilization and stand tall in the universe, our generation is destined to be remembered. Life is short, but we must live meaningfully. We can change this era.
Do you understand my order? Okay, from now on, everyone should return to their respective posts and complete the work you should complete. Within two weeks, I will pull out an army of 200,000 people.
The army is coming! Remember, you have to tell our soldiers the meaning of fighting! They fight to protect themselves and their families! If they fail, they will have nothing, but if they succeed, they will be famous forever!"
Having said this, Ren Zhong personally turned another page of history forward.
From now on, the old era will slowly die.
As for the heavy responsibilities, I can finally express my feelings and feel the freedom of breathing.
