Chapter 371 Achieving Unification in American Society Amidst Chaos

In Silicon Valley, USA, six planes from different television stations were flying overhead at the same time, along with two police helicopters monitoring the situation.

Below was a massive party stretching for kilometers, mainly composed of RVs from other states, winding their way from the RV campground. Many wore homemade tin hats, while some even had pots on their heads, looking as if they had already entered a virtual world.

Some local residents also set up stalls by the roadside with barbecue grills and other picnic equipment. They didn't sell anything; they just chatted, ate, and drank with anyone who came by, and would occasionally let out inexplicable screams. Those around them would immediately respond by screaming along.

Occasionally, some people who are a bit drunk will engage in traditional American behavior, shouting "USA" loudly, and they will immediately get a response. The sound carries far, and more bored people will come to join the party while shouting "USA" at the same time.

However, at the very front of this procession, right in front of the FlowEDA office building of the Aurora Group, hundreds of police officers with riot shields were conducting a curfew.

They weren't guarding against the party crowd, of course; they were guarding against a group of people on the other side.

This group was quite large, and although it didn't look as exaggerated as the party, it was mainly because it was an organized demonstration.

This is a team comprised of non-profit organizations, including anti-tech oligarchy groups, student movement organizations, and environmental organizations.

Holding signs opposing boundless science and arguing that the rich should not enjoy immortality, they confronted the revelers.

On CNN, after a live call with the station's anchor Anderson Cooper, he commented: "We can see from television the sensation and division caused by Chen Yiran's technology."

However, it's clear that Chen Yiran has more supporters. It's worth noting that, based on various reports, many disability protection groups strongly support Aurora, and they also hope that Aurora's products won't be overly expensive.

These disabled people clearly lack the ability to march in support of Chen Yiran; they can be considered the silent majority. If they are included, the number of people who support Chen Yiran is obviously much larger.

What do you all think? You know, today it's not just Silicon Valley; New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Houston—you could say all the major cities in America are seeing various forms of support or demonstrations.

A female news anchor next to me laughed and said, "You're not quite right. I just checked the news on my phone. We should be paying attention to San Antonio, Texas."

Anderson Cooper apologized: "Ah, sorry, indeed, we should have focused more on San Antonio. To explain to some of the less-watched viewers, San Antonio has a nickname: Military City, with over 200,000 veterans, and the city government estimates it to be over 250,000."

Brooke Army Medical Center there is the largest military hospital in the United States and the largest Level 1 trauma center of the Department of Defense.

There are many amputees and severely wounded veterans undergoing treatment and rehabilitation there, putting immense pressure on the prosthetic fitting center. This is because prosthetics are not as simple as people imagine; the ongoing follow-up is very complex, and current technology is clearly far behind that of Aurora.

We have received information that a large number of families in San Antonio, pushing their disabled relatives in wheelchairs, held an event at the Veterans Club, hoping that the government would approve the use of aurora technology as soon as possible.

Whether it's the assistive exoskeleton they demonstrated or the brain-computer interface that can significantly improve mental well-being, these are things they desperately need. The virtual world may be a place where those veterans can experience joy again.

Meanwhile, similar events are also taking place in other cities. For example, Virginia Beach, where veterans make up nearly 17% of the adult population.

San Diego, home to a naval base and the Pendleton Marine Corps Battalion, is home to 240,000 veterans.

Colorado Springs, the best hometown of the Army, has many wounded veterans who do teaching work at Fort Carson.

Jacksonville, Florida, is home to 160,000 veterans and the Injured Warriors Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving veterans and their families who were injured, sick, or disabled during their service.

We will find that while there is strong opposition and the concerns we have observed do exist, there is also a great deal of support, albeit with greater restraint. However, we cannot ignore these voices, nor can we allow the voices of veterans to be artificially silenced.

Okay, now let's connect with the expert we invited to help me explain the topic of immortality.

CNN's report can be said to be subtly biased towards Chen Yiran, which is not surprising, since CNN was previously split up and acquired and is now under Disney, a subsidiary of Apple's subsidiary.

"Where you stand determines where you stand." Even without editorial instructions, they can tell which side they should be on, and the virtual world of Aurora is indeed very attractive.

If CNN, a stepchild, acts this way, then ABC, Disney's own son, will naturally be cheering for Chen Yiran like crazy. Moreover, they are even more radical, taking sides without any pretense.

Their star reporter, David Muir, even sang on the show: "Imagine that in the future, when we look at Marvel, it won't be flat anymore; maybe we can walk right into the movie!"

What Aurora Group is showing us is the future. Don't be scared by those science fiction movies; I'll just say one thing: I want immortality! I want to see how this world will develop!

I never imagined I would ever land on the moon or Mars in my lifetime. Although Musk has given me hope, I don't think I'll live to see that day.

Now I have hope; I feel I still have a chance to see it.

Don't say things like "you're not you because you live among machines and a bunch of fleshy balls." I don't want to discuss philosophical or scientific issues.

To put it simply, I believe that if something inherits my way of thinking, my logic, and my understanding of the world, it will continue to understand the world in the same way I do.

That's me!

I hope the government can seriously consider its future strategies. I know this will offend many people, but I still have to say it: a new era has arrived! If you can't keep up with the times, you will fall behind.

This era is called Chen Yiran, this era is called Aurora, and we must keep up with their pace.

Besides these two true allies, what's rather counterintuitive is that Fox TV also sided with Chen Yiran.

As a traditional right-wing conservative television station, they have a large number of conservative and religious viewers who are generally skeptical of technology and hostile towards tech giants.

However, this time they deviated from their usual approach, almost entirely siding with Aurora and attacking those who opposed them. This caused many problems, with many former viewers calling to express their dissatisfaction and question Fox's stance.

The television executives completely ignored them; Fox is the most unscrupulous news network. They never consider journalistic independence; they have always been Murdoch's mouthpiece.

This time was no different; Murdoch's youngest son directly instructed them to fawn over Chen Yiran relentlessly.

Therefore, FOX has been even more aggressive than other TV stations, almost portraying Chen Yiran as a saint.

Their host, Greg Gutfield, said in a rather cheesy way, "Chen Yiran could have lived a comfortable life as a wealthy man. Even if he hadn't conducted this research, he would still be the world's richest man."

He could have kept those technologies for himself, but he didn't because he didn't want Americans to ignore new technologies because of some vague or intangible issues.

So he went to the battlefield instead of hiding in his basement, hoping to become a unique, immortal being at some point in the future.

He didn't exclude us!

Audience members, he shared the technology of immortality!

I believe the American people will realize that, as a result of Chen Yiran's work, the world has become a better place, and they have more to look forward to in the future.

Besides these three television stations with close ties to Chen Yiran, what's even more outrageous is the unusual unity within the American news industry this time.

Despite numerous protests and demonstrations, and a large number of bioethicists arguing that wet components should not require further testing—whether they are considered life, whether consciousness has rights, and whether research should be suspended—these issues still need to be discussed.

The anti-tech oligarch left believes that this technology will certainly not be cheap, will grant the rich immortality, and will bring social inequality to its peak.

Religious conservatives, on the other hand, were furious, believing that Chen Yiran was playing God.

Environmentalists believe that immortality would further strain Earth's resources and exploit nature.

There are also some rather outrageous feminist organizations that believe Chen Yiran, as a man, must be evil, and there are rumors that he keeps several wives on his island of Lanai, and even has a child with his second wife. They argue that all people are evil, and that this technology is unacceptable.

However, the press tacitly ignored them and sided with Chen Yiran.

This tacit understanding reached its peak with a tweet from Chen Yiran.

"I'm glad that many people are boycotting me. Everyone knows I hold grudges very, very badly. Thanks to the live broadcasts by various TV stations, our technology can extract enough facial recognition information from the footage of demonstrations across the country."

I hereby announce that you are all now blacklisted users of Aurora. Forget about virtual worlds or exoskeleton support; I won't even let you use AI anymore.

Apple hasn't even held its launch event yet, but I'll give you a sneak peek: the new Apple phone uses an all-screen design and offers both in-display fingerprint and facial recognition unlocking. I'll be adding a list of faces that Aurora has collected that oppose us; those you can't scan, Claude won't be able to access.

After this tweet was posted, several protest groups were thrown into disarray. Many of them were students who were just following the trend. They were the most desperate at this moment because they couldn't even do their homework without AI.

This incident also made the subsequent large-scale demonstrations in Europe somewhat strange. On the one hand, they said they wanted to boycott Chen Yiran and to be upright people, not to be a "technological meatball".

However, they were all wearing head coverings, as if afraid of being filmed by cameras.
