Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chen Yan didn't understand.

He didn't understand why it happened like this. He clearly knew those variables and they were recorded in the theory. Even though the conditions represented by those variables had been realized, why would the world get worse?
He collects the data fed back from the client through the server, and thus knows the process of everything becoming like this:

Before the addition of the DLC content, Yanan City under normal conditions also had strong technology, but those technologies from the Outer Gods did not serve the people's livelihood, and could not become real productive forces in society through the technology industry, let alone Said to serve the society.

After the addition of DLC content, this situation has essentially changed-

Science and technology began to serve the real primary industries: agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and collection... Large-scale mechanical automation facilities appeared, and a series of production processes from farming to harvesting were all taken over by machines, and manpower was released.

The super science and technology serving the primary industry has caused a huge increase in productivity in the whole world, and the era of great material affluence has arrived.

After the DLC was added to the simulation, and the simulator continued to run for the fifth year, the total number of supplies in Yanan City has greatly exceeded the total number of supplies that the public can consume.

Great material wealth promotes the vigorous development of secondary industries: mining, manufacturing, tap water, electricity, steam, hot water, gas...

From the invention of the steam engine to the large-scale civilian use of nuclear energy, it only took ten years.

The Internet also appeared in No. 11, and all mankind ushered in a large-scale improvement in knowledge level. Countless elites emerged and realized their self-level leap, becoming more advanced talents.

The first big company appeared. To Chen Yan's surprise, this company was not the William Adams Group, but a little-known small company called [Interwork].

Before the productivity soared, this company was originally in the phonograph business. In the few years after the productivity soared, they changed their business direction successively, from intermediary web pages to social software, then from social software to payment systems, and from payment systems to The automotive industry, and eventually the aerospace industry...

Within ten years, through continuous financing, continuous leverage, and continuous acquisition of emerging industries, they have become unimaginable behemoths ten years later.

And the original big company in the industrial era, William Adams Group, also grew into the result simulated before the DLC without DLC ten years later——Ten years later, William Adams Group monopolized a large number of military industries, and almost controlled Almost all material trade channels.

In addition to these two [company]-level large enterprises, there are three such giants in this world, which respectively control other social industries and the circulation channels of production materials.

The first war broke out when the world structure was beginning to take shape.

The unemployment problem caused by automation has become more and more serious. Machines have replaced manpower on a large scale. The unemployment rate has soared to 70% in just ten years. The rate of increase has risen, and the social reality that human life is so cheap that it is not even worth mentioning. …

In the lower urban area of ​​Yanan City, people gathered in groups because they could not obtain enough daily necessities, and attacked the Yanan City Council, but at this time, the Yanan City Council was no longer what it used to be. A hot weapon that is powerful enough to fight against the crisis of the universe, the first impact ended in people's fiasco.

People have retreated to the lower city, which has been transformed into an extremely dense "ant nest" so far. The only traces left by the soaring productivity here are steel pipes, dense and intricate wires and network cables, and countless electronic devices. Rubbish.

People can still get some supplies, they don’t know that the supplies in this world are so rich that everyone can eat enough, and they don’t know that the supplies that human beings have accumulated are enough for everyone to squander until the end of the world. They only know that if they don’t do something today If you can afford it, you must borrow money to make some changes to your stomach, so that you can eat less and live longer.

People lost the will to "rebel", and at the same time, any words related to "rebel" were blocked from the Internet. People didn't know this concept, they could only feel a similar feeling, and even some cults were born because of it.

Even if the productivity is extremely rich, people still can't eat enough. So, where did the extremely rich productivity go?
It is clearly shown in the simulator that extremely rich productivity is used in the development of the universe, the research on immortality (deconstruction and recasting of genes), the development of non-material level technology, and the development of life other than carbon-based. research, and the exploration of immaterial spaces.

The population of Yanan City was decreasing rapidly, but within a few years, it dropped from 4000 million to 1000 million, then from 1000 million to 100 million, and finally stabilized at 30.

Where did all the people who disappeared go?

Chen Yan didn't know.

The simulator only showed cold data, and did not tell him where people were going or staying. He only knew that tens of millions of people were gone, and he didn't know where they went, as if they were just a few numbers made up of 0 and 1. When the data stream needs to be deleted, just tap the screen, and it will disappear immediately, and will never appear in the storage again.

Chen Yan was clearly in the state of Quantum Doppelganger, but he felt short of breath, and confusion, sadness and fear surged up, leaving his brain blank.

The knowledge about the future broke his spirit. It is unknown knowledge that is difficult for human beings to accept, and it is the most fundamental fear of the unknown—despair!
The loss of control accumulated rapidly at this moment, and the sudden burst of extraordinary power almost changed the structure of his brain!
At the same time, in the isolated prison, Exquish Nestor suddenly saw Chen Yan's breathing quickened, and his entire face turned red.

It was also at this moment that several illusory figures appeared in the entire isolation cell, and high-decibel screams that were indistinguishable from human ears.

The moment the screeching sound appeared, Exquish Nestor almost lost consciousness. He punctured his eardrum in horror, then took out a flesh-colored "sweet potato" and slapped it on his body. Immediately changed into a medical uniform, covered his head and rushed to Chen Yan's side.

In the isolation prison, phantom figures slowly gathered towards Chen Yan, and stretched out their hands to grab Chen Yan's clothes, as if to tear him apart—the next second, Chen Yan's collar was torn, and the torn The collar of his collar began to twist, and then an incredible scene emerged.

Exquish Nestor didn't dare to look at that scene, but took out the electrode stickers from his pocket, unwrapped them and stuck them on Chen Yan's temples, and then manipulated the terminal to activate the current.

"Om..."

The trembling sound from the surge of electricity echoed throughout the isolation prison, Chen Yan's chest suddenly bowed upwards, and a raving sound that represented pain came out of his mouth.

Exquish Nestor's eyes were filled with red and black blood tears, and his eyes were also confused at this moment, but he knew he couldn't stop.

"Buzz!"

The electric current was activated again, Chen Yan's whole body trembled suddenly, and the illusory figure that had completely surrounded him finally disappeared.

Exquish Nestor, whose cheeks were stained with black blood, couldn't hold on any longer, fell to the side, and passed out.
