"What is this? Mind control? In the end, we're even being deprived of our mental freedom?"
“No, this is a faith relief program, hahaha,” someone sarcastically remarked.
"In the future, we will not even have freedom of speech, and will become a complete cog in the machine of human civilization."
"I'm used to it. Isn't that how human society is?"
"Humanity will perish before the arrival of the Trisolarans."
On the other hand, those who wholeheartedly agreed with Lin Feng's plan were mostly minors.
"Have you heard? From now on, classes will be held in the virtual world. You can log in to school from home and you won't have to worry about being late anymore. You can sleep in a little longer."
"Moreover, if you sleep in class or daydream, the teacher won't notice. Submitting homework online only requires finding someone who has already finished it to copy and paste, which is much easier than copying homework, which used to be much more arduous."
"Everyone, from now on, no matter what anyone says, I will always be a loyal fan of Feng Taylor."
"I heard that Feng Taylor is going to develop a space game that is 100% realistic, where players can fly their own spaceships and form fleets to fight each other."
"Huh? Space warfare? I'm a peaceful farmer."
"Farmers can also play. Players need to design and conceive the factories in the game. How to maximize the efficiency of the production line depends entirely on the player's own design ability. The map layout of the solar system is so good that, if players can do it, they can even colonize the outer solar system in the game."
"That sounds interesting."
……
"Has the news been released?" Lin Feng asked.
The team expert nodded. "Yes, the internet is in chaos right now, with all sorts of opinions."
"Very good, the design of the game pod must be completed as soon as possible," Lin Feng said.
As long as there is a voice on the internet, that's fine; it's scary if there's no voice. The more voices there are, the more people are paying attention to this, and the greater the impact this plan will have on human society as a whole.
“The V-equipment is an existing version. This isn’t about developing something that doesn’t exist; it’s about integrating and modifying the existing system. I believe it will be available on the market very soon,” Lin Feng said.
Without V-equipment, virtual games wouldn't be as mature, and Lin Feng might not have been so hasty.
But now that the foundation has been laid, Lin Feng no longer needs to wait and can take decisive action.
Why is a life support system specifically added?
The team expert asked somewhat uneasily, worried that Lin Feng wanted all of humanity to stay in the game pods 24 hours a day, which would inevitably lead to serious consequences.
For example, the number of obese people in the world is increasing.
"Why? Of course, it's to allow those people to stay in the game pods for longer periods of time, and to encourage people to move their social interaction online," Lin Feng replied matter-of-factly.
"The resulting social consequences..." The team experts hesitated before continuing.
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively. He was determined to carry out a major transformation of human society. How could he possibly transform it if he was afraid of mere social problems?
"It's a small matter. Can any problem be as big as the Three-Body Problem? Or as big as ETO?"
"In the face of a crisis affecting all of humanity, a mere social problem is nothing. Go ahead and do it without any reservations."
"This is the battlefield, the battlefield where you fight against the Trisolarans."
The team of experts were stunned, especially by Lin Feng's last sentence.
Thinking of the potential crisis of a future Trisolaran invasion, the team of experts gritted their teeth and agreed.
"I understand what you mean. I will relay your words to the other members of the team."
Meanwhile, in the Three-Body Problem game, inside the stone chamber of the Mayan pyramid, ETO was also holding a meeting targeting Lin Feng.
It's really ridiculous, really. Other Wallfacers only need to have one meeting held by ETO, but because of Lin Feng, they have to hold repeated Wall-Breaking Meetings.
"Maple Taylor has announced a new Wallfacer project."
"Why are there so many of his wall-facing plans? It's endless."
"Is he addicted to our wall-breaking techniques?"
There were all sorts of opinions within ETO, most of which were criticisms of Lin Feng. Most ETO members believed that Lin Feng's claim of having "many plans" was just boasting or deceiving them, and they simply did not believe that Lin Feng was capable of coming up with many Wallfacer plans.
Now they have no choice but to believe it.
The appearance of Qin Shi Huang, Mozi, and other high-ranking ETO officials quieted down the noisy meeting room.
“Feng Taylor’s Wallfacer Project needs to be broken down; the Lord needs us to break through the labyrinth of human lies for it.”
“Feng Taylor’s plan is clearly aimed at humanity itself, using adjustments to humanity itself to deal with the Lord. I see a very dangerous signal in it. This plan is completely different from previous plans.”
As Qin Shi Huang took his seat, he spoke in a low voice, and the other ETO executives nodded in agreement.
King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, said: "One of the Lord's commands is to prevent humanity from leaving the solar system. This command is of the same level as killing Luo Ji."
“Since Hines has gone into hibernation, the breakthrough of the wall by Radiaz can be delayed. The organization should focus on breaking through the wall of Feng Taylor’s plan, or even sabotaging his plan.”
Chapter 46 The Cake Man Was Actually Me
"Oppose media control! Support freedom of speech!"
"Oppose the virtual world invading reality! Let the real economy develop!"
"Oppose dictator Feng Taylor! Return the democratic world to democracy!"
Large-scale marches and demonstrations have erupted in many American cities, with protesters waving flags and banners advocating their ideas and marching in droves toward city halls.
Traffic congestion occurred on various road sections, paralyzing the city's transportation system.
Every country has them, it's just a matter of how many.
Such a large-scale event would naturally make the headlines of the next day's newspapers.
While eating breakfast and looking at the slogans of the protesters in the newspaper, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled. He turned to the maid and asked about the CIA's investigation.
Why is the rebound so strong?
In Lin Feng's memory, the only time such a commotion had occurred was when he advocated for the implementation of the 007 work system.
When society shifts from the real world to the internet, workers' interests should not be harmed, so why are so many people opposing it?
The maid replied, "According to the investigation, among those who oppose it, 70% are from the real economy sector, 20% are from the media, organizations, schools, etc., and the remaining 10% are civil rights activists."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and suddenly understood what was going on.
Those in the physical industry might be worried and opposed, probably because they fear that their physical assets will depreciate rapidly after the main body of human society is transferred to the virtual network. For example, landlords who own multiple properties, speculators who buy properties to sell at an appreciation rate, or real estate developers, etc. Anyone who works in the physical industry is very opposed to Lin Feng's plan.
Because in their view, this is throwing away the profits that should belong to them onto the internet.
Media outlets, community groups, schools, and other social institutions and organizations have spoken out, presumably out of concern for the education of future generations. With the majority of humanity shifting to the internet, education has also moved online, meaning that even private schools for the wealthy will be affected in their education of future generations.
The rich don't care about the education of poor children, and they might even applaud if the children aren't educated at all. No one would think the poor are stupid. But if such education policies were applied to their own children, well, sorry, they'd better get as far away as possible.
Lin Feng could understand why these people would speak out; it was a social problem he was bound to encounter when implementing his plan, and he was already mentally prepared to face these problems head-on.
However, there were some of these opponents that Lin Feng couldn't understand.
Civil rights activist?
What the hell is this?
"What exactly is this 'civil rights activist' you're talking about?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
“They are groups funded by Wall Street, which can sometimes be used to help legislators and voters garner votes,” the maid explained.
"Oh, so that's the kind of person..."
Lin Feng suddenly realized that "civil rights fighters" was just a more poetic term; to put it bluntly, they were just the real-life version of online trolls and those who manipulated data.
These people are the link between politicians and capitalists, at least in the United States.
Capitalists use these people to recommend politicians who align with their interests to become members of parliament or president.
Politicians also need capitalists to do this. Even if the support of capitalists cannot guarantee a 100% chance of winning, it can at least greatly increase their chances of winning. It's similar to doping in the Olympics. Even if you think you can definitely win, if you don't use it while others do, you will ultimately suffer.
These real-life online trolls and data manipulators can make a fortune from this, achieving a win-win-win situation for all three parties.
This virtuous cycle allows the chain to be maintained and continue to grow in the United States.
However, these civil rights activists generally have behind-the-scenes supporters. Without the support of cash flow, how could these people have the courage to oppose Lin Feng?
"Who are they behind? Who's stirring things up?"
“Financial groups, including Wall Street,” the maid replied.
"them?"
Lin Feng was taken aback, looking at the maid with a strange expression, and asked, "I was thinking that my plan shouldn't affect them. Their assets are all virtual assets, so why are they jumping out to oppose me?"
Lin Feng could understand if it were capitalists in the real economy opposing him, but it was truly incomprehensible to see those who played the financial and stock market opposing him.
His plan has no conflict of interest with these people.
The maid replied, "I guess she wants to talk to you about the division of profits."
Lin Feng asked, puzzled, "Interests? What interests?"
How could he not know what benefits he might have?
Could this be part of his plan?
That shouldn't be the case. It's just that the main body of society has moved to the network and people are using the Internet in their daily lives. How can it be related to finance?
"That's your current plan."
The maid gave a confident answer and explained the relationship to Lin Feng.
"Your plan is to move human social interaction from the real world to the virtual network, which means an expansion of the virtual asset pool. This is good news for financial capital that mainly deals in virtual assets."
"However, there are many financial capitalists in every country, and this new territory will make these financial capitalists fight tooth and nail."
"Those people on Wall Street, and even the world's financial capital, want to gain an advantage in this competition, so they need to make connections with you first and let you give them the biggest slice of the pie."
Oh, that's how it is. Lin Feng understood the cause and effect.
The financial capital players weren't really against him; they just wanted to attract Lin Feng's attention by opposing him. What they actually wanted was to connect with Lin Feng and discuss the profit-sharing after the expansion of the virtual capital pool.
Based on the principle of first come, first served, those who connect first will naturally be the biggest winners and reap the greatest benefits from the virtual capital scheme. Therefore, all the financial capital players are fighting tooth and nail against Lin Feng.
Moreover, opposition can increase bargaining power; these financial capitalists are playing a clever game.
"Are they the ones behind this wave of opposition?" Lin Feng asked.
