TPC's senior leaders took the opportunity of the investigation to initiate a thorough investigation of the bottom class of society.
The more I looked, the more surprised I became, and the more I checked, the more silent I became.
I usually don't pay attention to it, I just glance at the report and the summarized data, and I think it's beautiful.
The world is prosperous, people live and work in peace and contentment, science and technology are advancing with each passing day, and the future of mankind is bright.
But this time I looked down and was surprised to find that the world is so beautiful, but people are in dire straits.
The unemployment rate revealed through interviews and surveys is a bit scary, and most of them are jobs with low academic qualifications and low abilities, and they rely solely on their own efforts to earn some hard-earned money.
For example, Katsuma Ikuta has been doing manual drawing for nearly ten years. It is a hard work. He only needs a pencil and a piece of paper to sit for a whole day.
However, the rapid advancement of technology is not only limited to computer drawing tools, but also developed AI drawing, which is faster than manual work, has a lower error rate than manual work, and most importantly, is cheaper than manual work.
Mr. Gao Shan’s taxi industry has also been replaced by the increasingly mature driverless industry, which has also destroyed the long-distance and short-distance freight industries, all of which have been replaced by driverless trucks.
Logistics costs have been greatly reduced, benefiting many parties, and the consumer side has also enjoyed some price reductions. The only ones whose interests have been harmed are the truck drivers who have been driving big trucks all their lives but are suddenly eliminated.
There are many similar situations. The development of technology has made life more convenient, but it has also destroyed many industries.
And this cannot be said to be wrong.
Just like the emergence of automobiles, coachmen lost their jobs; the popularity of self-service ticket purchasing systems caused conductors to lose their jobs; the development of mobile phones caused many industries to lose their prospects.
Therefore, "tragedies" like Katsuma Ikuta's can only be said to be inevitable for development, but no matter how we say it, a speck of dust from the times is as heavy as a mountain when it falls on an individual.
The new field plan that TPC vigorously promotes does not take them with them, because it requires high-tech talents. Even if you want to build a house on Mars, you still need to know a certain amount of mechanical knowledge.
What’s even more frightening is that many of these unemployed people have disappeared, with no one at home, no relatives or friends, and even shopping records and phone records stopped updating on a certain day.
What this means can be imagined even with the duodenum.
Therefore, just two days after the investigation was launched, TPC executives realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately dispatched the Super Victory Team and the Space Adventure Team to join in as a precaution.
Well, actually, there is no need to be careful. With so many people and a large number of specific groups of people disappearing, it would be a ghost if there was nothing fishy in it.
"Could it be someone from space who did it?"
Asukaxin looked back and forth at the tablet in his hand, mumbling something, his head hurt from looking at it, but he couldn't see any flowers, let alone any clues.
Da Gu, who was driving a patrol car next to him, said without looking back: "What else?"
Although it is not a good idea to think this way, most of these missing persons are in their thirties, forties or even fifties, and none of them are in their prime of youth, so naturally they are not pretty; some of the older ones are still sick people who have been taking medicine all year round.
, it is estimated that picking cotton is laborious, let alone hard work and tiring work.
Let's put it this way, let alone the whole of these people, even if they are taken apart, they are of little value.
Therefore, no matter from any aspect, kidnapping these people is not cost-effective.
This is also a puzzling point. If it was a cosmic being who did it, then what is the cosmic being doing?
In other words, what value can be extracted from these people?
"well!!!"
Dagu also felt like he had a headache. He was almost thinking about it, but he couldn't think of a reason.
We can only continue to visit and investigate, collect more intelligence, and hope to find more clues, so as to analyze the purpose of the kidnapper, and then based on the other party's purpose, reversely deduce the other party's methods, and finally arrest him and bring him to justice.
But I just took one step and got stuck here.
That means no clues can be found.
TPC has visited and investigated so many people, and collected enough information to fill a car, but even using supercomputers, it has not been able to find the intersections between these people.
Originally, TPC planned to use enough information to find the intersection of these people in life or work, or even on the Internet, and then draw a line based on this point, and finally expand it to the whole network.
It's a pity that most people have no intersection, they are absolute strangers who will never see each other in this life, let alone have any contact with them, but they have reached an agreement on the matter of 'disappearance'.
"What a headache!"
When Dagu thinks about his experience this week, he feels as if he is in another world. He doesn't know how he got through it, and he doesn't know how long it will last.
There is no need to fear hardship and fatigue, but hard work and exhaustion are not rewarded with gains, which is very damaging to morale.
This can be seen from Asuka Shin's performance. This kid is usually the most energetic, and now he is slumped in the chair. If he hadn't been wearing a seat belt, he would have slipped under the seat, and he was wailing.
'He said: "When will days like this end?"
"...I want to know too." Dagu muttered in his heart, because he was more tired and was so much older than Asuka Shin. In terms of energy and physical strength, he could not compare with the youthful Asuka Shin.
But the things to do are not less than Asuka Shin, but even more. How can you not be tired?
While he was sighing, suddenly the loudspeaker in the patrol car rang.
Drop! Drop! Drop!
Immediately afterwards, a picture appeared on the windshield in front of the car, which was a communication request.
"Jeanswest, connect the video."
As soon as Dagu finished speaking, TPC smart butler Jeanswes followed the voice instructions, answered the video call, made Fudojian appear on the small screen, and said with a face of joy: "Vice captain, I am currently in the N9 area.
This family provided an important clue. Before disappearing, the missing person had been talking about going to a new world. There would be no need to work, no fatigue, no oppression, no discrimination, everything would be completely equal, and everyone could go.
Follow your dreams.”
"squeak--"
Dagu braked and stopped the vehicle. These words were not exactly the same as the message that was played in a loop on the transmitter found on the metropolitan tower. It could only be said that there was no difference.
Soon, Fudoken sent the missing person’s information and interview records.
This missing person is very young. Even if he is not the youngest among the missing people, he is probably in the first echelon.
His name is Yamaguchi Koji. He is only 23 years old this year and has only graduated from college less than a year ago. However, he has not looked for a job and has been staying at home.
According to the crying complaints of the parents of the missing persons, they and their children had many quarrels during this year, and the focus of the conflicts was mostly on work.
Although I have graduated from college, I don’t want to work and still want to stay at home.
This made the Yamaguchi couple difficult to accept and very disappointed.
They work hard to raise their children and save money to send them to school, just so that their children can find a good job, find a good wife, and live a good life.
As a result, Yamaguchi Koji had already graduated, but he still had to stay at home. He could even stay in the house all day except for eating and going to the toilet.
In order for the children to go out and find a job, not to mention making money, at least they can meet more people and communicate more so as not to be isolated from society. It would be better to find a girlfriend, that would be even better.
But no matter whether it was the earnest persuasion or the harsh scolding, it had no effect on Yamaguchi. It basically went in one ear and out the other. Yamaguchi was completely unmoved, so that the contradiction between the two parties became more and more serious, and even...
I almost hit the child.
According to the Yamaguchi couple, the reason why Yamaguchi Koji does not go out to work is because he is addicted to games. He plays games every day and watches videos every night. He would rather work on his own and have enough food and clothing than find a girlfriend.
As a result, the child's personality changed drastically and he was no longer as well-behaved as he was when he was a child. The Yamaguchi couple blamed the game. They complained bitterly to Fudo Ken and accused the game company of the crime. They almost let Fudo Ken fly a fighter jet and destroy the game.
The company was burned to the ground.
"game?"
Dagu listened to Fudo Ken's story and looked at Yamaguchi Koji's online records. It was indeed as the Yamaguchi couple said. Yamaguchi Koji's gaming time averaged about eleven hours a day. This was definitely a serious addiction.
Such an otaku still lives at his parents' house and doesn't even need to order takeout. The only way to communicate with the outside world is through the computer. A review of Yamaguchi Koji's social software records shows that although Yamaguchi Koji has many friends in the social software,
There are very few contacts, and many times, I don’t use social software once in a week or two.
In this case, after removing other wrong answers, only the option 'Game' is left.
It is very likely that Yamaguchi Koji was seduced by the aliens through games.
"Yes, the game also has a chat function, and the game data is exchanged so frequently, it couldn't be easier to hide some information." Dagu suddenly felt like he had a sudden realization.
Compared with ancient digital analog signals, the information transmitted by the network is huge. 1MB of data contains half a million words, and the volume of an online game is often hundreds of GB. After running,
Data exchange is also very frequent. Let alone a few KB of information, even a few MB or dozens of MB will be very inconspicuous.
As soon as he thought of it, he did it. Dagu immediately called Asuka Shin and asked him to send a letter to the headquarters to check the missing persons and the connection with the game.
Thanks to the high-level attention of TPC to this incident, responses were quickly received even from different departments.
According to the Internet records, 85% of the missing people have played games, some using mobile phones, some using computers, some playing large-scale online games, some playing AAA masterpieces, and some playing
It's a web puzzle, and there are other things...
Precisely because they play different games and are in different game areas, this intersection was not found during the early investigation.
But now Dagu noticed it, and based on this, he thought of something even more 'terrible'.
These missing persons played different games, but they all disappeared in unison.
This means that it is not that there is a problem with a certain game, it is likely that the games on the market are mixed with the private goods of space people, used to seduce humans and quietly change humans.
When it comes to the Internet, it is not something that the Space Adventure Team can solve, so Dagu immediately compiled his guesses into a report through Jeanswest, submitted it, and made a suggestion, that is, let the Comprehensive Computer Technology Agency intervene in the network.
Investigate to verify whether his guess is correct as soon as possible.
However, Dagu didn't just sit back and do nothing. Instead, he went through the information on missing persons again, hoping to see if there were new directions and new guesses.
Come up with something new.
After flipping through it, I actually found something.
That is, most of the games on the market, especially popular games, whether they are large-scale online games, mobile games, or stand-alone 3A masterpieces, are produced by a company called FAIVAS (Fiber Optic).
Known for its exquisite graphics, engaging plot, and never-too-excessive financial rewards, it has developed into a behemoth in just a few years, occupying half of the gaming industry, and continues to squeeze out the market share of other companies with its high-quality games.
.
Ninety percent of the games played by the missing Yamaguchi Koji were produced by this company.
so...
Could this be relevant?
An idea came to Dagu's mind, and he thought it was possible. After all, a company occupies so much market share, and it couldn't be easier to mix something into it.
Even if this company is not involved, a virus or program similar to a 'Trojan horse' may have been implanted to replace the analog digital signal transmitter and become the 'transmitter' of the new field era.
"It seems that it is necessary to investigate." Dagu thought in his heart, then picked up the car and rushed back to the headquarters.
He doesn't understand games. After all, he doesn't like smoking, drinking, or playing games. His understanding of games is only superficial.
Fortunately, he knew a game addict and a game master.
"FAIVAS?" Yerui, who was entrusted by Dagu, heard the name of this company and his voice could not help but rise several times, so that he screamed.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Of course..." Ye Rui then realized that he was too excited and quickly calmed down, saying: "This is a legendary game company. The games they sell are very profitable. They are very profitable.
.”
While Yerui stressed, he also provided data to support their statement, allowing Dagu to see what a 'money printing' level of money-making speed is.
A game can be sold for tens of billions of dollars. This is a level that many companies cannot reach, but it has been easily achieved by a game company.
"Perhaps something like a virus has been implanted." Feiniao Xin supplemented at the side.
"Impossible," Ye Rui shook his head and said, "Karen is responsible for the network security of this company, and there will never be any problems."
