Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 683 [Chapter of the Game of Death] 130 Two: The Big Shot
Freeman didn't speak. As one of the senators of the House of Commons, he had seen the complete and detailed social investigation report, so he clearly knew that there were traces of what Miel Besarius said.

As for the matter that "making a minimum wage standard will cause a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to go bankrupt", someone has already run it in a simulator.

When this condition was fed into the simulator as a variable, the result was 30 years of economic collapse and a more chaotic social environment.

After a large number of simulation results like this appeared, someone collected the running data of these simulation results and summarized them:

"Society is a huge group, any change to its fundamental rules will cause a series of changes, and the variables that make the society deteriorate usually cause more variables to deteriorate. Before the variables that lead to the optimization of the entire simulation process are input, The process of deterioration continues until destruction. "

According to many, this is one of the most valuable conclusions that the simulator has brought to all.

But Freeman didn't think so.

Freeman believes that "changes in a single important variable have an impact on the social environment" is itself a false proposition—in reality, it is not just the same variable that affects the social environment.

The conditions affecting the social environment are complex, and the simulated environment of the simulator is idealized. Freeman believes that if you want to verify the impact of a "rule" on society, you need to use the perspective and cognition of a senator. Deduce the necessary variables, and then use the theories in those articles in the forum to verify to adjust the variables to an appropriate level, and finally input the appropriate variables into the simulator to get more accurate results.

Freeman also understands that his idea has a fatal shortcoming - it cannot be verified in the real world, it can only stay at the theoretical level -

This is one of the most fundamental shortcomings of emulators.

Therefore, from a rational point of view, he cannot predict the future predicted by L. Bessarius—he cannot be sure whether "the establishment of a minimum wage standard will lead to the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises" will inevitably happen.

From a personal point of view, he does not have the courage to bear such consequences, because he has already seen the shocking in the simulator.

As the youngest and youngest senator in the entire House of Commons, although Freeman had a completely different vision from ordinary people because of his tutoring before entering the House of Commons, but due to the lack of social experience, he was still ignorant of everything— —

His previous worldview came entirely from the indirect experience brought by his family. He didn't see much in front of him, and he didn't practice the concepts instilled by his family and the worldview he established in just over 20 years, so his understanding of society is not so thorough. , I also have a little understanding of the emergence of some social chaos.

Until the appearance of those articles in the forum.

When Freeman got those articles, it was like an explosion gave birth to a new universe in his head. It was as if he was looking directly at the truth. All the doubts in the past were solved under the analysis of those theories, and the future trend became clearly visible in front of him.

He was addicted to the simulator game, trying to find the fundamental solution to all the chaos in Yanan City.

He spent enough time and spent enough effort until this morning when he was waiting for the start of the meeting that decided the fate of Yanan City, he was still playing the simulator game on his mobile phone——

After the server was under full control, he first used his own power to easily find the parliamentary department that confiscated the newspaper server, and asked his personal programmer to copy down more than 10 terabytes of development end data packages, and set up his own at home. Its own server and development end, and successfully run the client on its own mobile phone.

In repeated simulations, he has a deeper understanding of the entire society based on the theories of the articles in the forum.

He knows that although the experience gained from the simulator is still indirect, it still has great value. When he runs the simulator enough times, he gradually realizes that the logic of the simulator is based on those in the forum. The theories in the article are compiled, which are the underlying rules of social operation.

After realizing this, when he looked at those theories again, he suddenly became enlightened, like a newborn.

Even if you know that "everything in the simulator is only carried out at the theoretical level and cannot be verified in practice", you can still understand and analyze the theory to a certain extent through the simulator, and see the subtleties at a specific level.

This is the reason why he chooses to speak at this meeting now - he wants to take a chance, because he clearly knows that Yanan City has reached the most critical moment, and now is not the time to think about whether it will produce bad results.

He looked at El Bessarius, and repeated his opinion again:
"I think we need to divide the benefits and give it to the marchers to quell this riot."

This is the first time Freeman has spoken in the House in such a strong tone.

Other MPs, including the archbishop, who is pro tempore speaker, did not immediately question his opinion.

What they seriously considered was not what Freeman's opinion was, but how the forces behind Freeman would react after they denied Freeman's opinion.

As old-fashioned members of the Conservative Party, Freeman's family is half an anomaly - they are not as old-fashioned as other traditional Conservative members.

By comparison, the Freeman family was far more open and radical than most Conservatives.

Freeman's full name is Freeman Stafford.

As one of the old nobles in Yanan City, the Stafford family is fundamentally different from the Phoenix family who once came from a foreign country and later became nobles in Yanan——

The Stafford family's heritage is long enough, and their ancestors participated in enough wars, which means that they have won a huge amount of territory through wars, and have more opportunities to participate in it when the industrial age comes.

The history of the Stafford family before the establishment of Yanan City is no longer available, because the largest private library in Yanan City, Birmingham Street Central Library, is the private property of the Stafford family. Books with family history were acquired and hidden, so that people could not learn the truth about this ancient family from most sources.

When Yanan City was founded, due to various reasons, the Stafford family, as a very small number of the old nobles, joined the process of industrialization, and thus received a lot of dividends from the times, becoming a rare and transformed into a city in the industrial age. The old aristocracy replaced the new aristocracy.

Their money and power ushered in another expansion with the emergence of the Northern Federation.

At that time, Yanan City had just become a member of the Northern Federation, and the upper house of the Yanan City Council still held a lot of power. Due to the status of business owners in various industries, they occupy more than fifty seats in the House of Commons——

The huge power established by the Stafford family based on their own power is not entirely through the direct family line, but is tied by blood, through marriage and various nepotism, tying ambitious young people from various industries to this frame. On an old tank refurbished by industrialization and powered by a new core of the industrial age, it was unstoppable for a while.

The Stafford family has far-reaching influence, and even the current leader of the Conservative Party, Charles, can have a relationship with them——

Charles' brother-in-law, husband of the third daughter of Uncle Freeman's family.

In Freeman's generation, the Stafford family almost completely retreated to the House of Lords due to the annexation of most of the seats in the Yanan City Council, leaving Freeman standing in front of the stage.
