I, the only superpower on earth.

Chapter 193 "Bill Zero"

It's like facing an abyss.

Like the deep sea.

It's like going to heaven.

Darkness and light meet here, and Navari's soul and body seem to be indistinguishable from each other, driven by the electronic field, they become one, and matter and spirit are unified here.

With his eyes open, countless pipes transmitted information from the outside world through the vibration of electrons and energy pulses, and then conveyed his will, and finally became the voice that entered the ears of hundreds of millions of people.

At the same time, he was also talking with a specific object.

A distraction for two purposes...or a myriad of uses.

In the virtual space where only two people, or only two consciousnesses exist, in the infinitely spreading information flow, they "look" at each other like eternal stones.

Part of Navalli's mind became a cluster, talking with "Lucy" in the data space.

"Have you made up your mind?"

The soft and sweet voice of "Lucy" rang in Navalli's ears.

Although it is also "Lucy", this voice is different from the "Lucy" heard by Petunia, different from other "Lucy" named "Lucy", different from "New America", all equipment The "portable general-purpose AI" on the standard citizen's personal terminal is full of doubts, as if the voice of a human woman is full of emotion, eliminating all the mechanical and rigid features of AI, and even full of things similar to personal characteristics .

In contrast, Navari's voice seemed extremely indifferent, as if it was electronically integrated, just like the voice of a real AI.

"...Decision, haven't I already decided?"

In Navalli's eyes, trillions of channels of information emerged, and his thoughts extended infinitely.

He chatted with "Lucy" lightly.

However, rather than talking, it may be more akin to sorting out your thoughts.

Because "Lucy" was a part of him.

It's just that, as time goes by, it, or "she" becomes more and more independent.

"From the very beginning, I knew that this world cannot have true equality-because human beings cannot eradicate their greed to try to master more resources... This is something that has long been doomed from the genetic level."

……

On the stele, the content of "Bill Zero" kept emerging.

Even people without visual nerves can understand the content of "Bill Zero", because Navari is broadcasting to the standard citizens of the United States in an emotionless voice.

As the content of "Bill Zero" gradually emerged, the standard citizens of the United States expressed their admiration in the "forum". Whether it was a public scene or a private scene, basically all the standard citizens stood up and looked at the top of the stone tablet in disbelief. Word.

Then—either covering his mouth and yelling, or spreading his hands and screaming, or covering his eyes in disbelief—

"is this real?!!"

"It's ridiculous!!!"

"How could there be such a decree in the world!"

"...This is against humanity!!"

In the bubble space that can accommodate thousands of people, Fernando opened his eyes wide in horror, looking at the bill on the stone tablet, his mouth clucking.

Out of the corner of his gaze, he glanced at the face of Robles next to him. The latter's face was livid, and for the first time, his originally immobile demeanor showed a gaffe like a catastrophe.

However, Fernando knew very well that he himself must not be much better, even worse than the patriarch's uncle.

because……

The content of "Act Zero" on the stone tablet...

Amazingly...

……

"From a microscopic point of view, all human behaviors at the macroscopic social level have already been programmed to end at the genetic level."

Navalli said to "Lucy" indifferently, but it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Inequalities at the genetic level consist of two inequalities—

"The first kind of inequality is the need for reproduction at the genetic level - wanting to communicate, hoping for lovers, pursuing wealth, wanting to raise the next generation, hoping to become successful and admired by the world... Starting from the root, all things, other things The core essence is the desire of genes to replicate themselves and pass them on;
"The second type of inequality is mutation and evolution at the genetic level. Due to the subtle combination of base pairs in genes, some individuals have intelligence, appearance, physical fitness, personality, and social skills that exceed ordinary people, while others They are inherently disadvantaged and need more resources from society to achieve the same level as ordinary people.”

Navarre spoke the hard truth in a flat voice.

"These two kinds of inequality, the former one drives human beings to grab resources and pursue a higher position, is also the beginning of the so-called 'selfishness' - while the latter kind of inequality leads to some people being born more easily than others Resources are easier to develop upwards, creating opportunities for the existence of the first type of inequality.

"Human beings are driven by the reproductive instinct of genes, develop wisdom, combine families, form a society, and derive morality and rules...In the end, because the flowers woven on the surface are too dazzling, they are immersed in the beauty of the flower surface. How simple and pale it is to pull yourself out, so that you forget the root system and origin of this flower.

"...humans of the last century believed that AI and machines could not derive intelligence, because they thought life was so wondrous that icy metals couldn't make that miraculous leap - but in fact, genes are no more than 0 and 1 numbers The combination is complex. When going back to the smallest structure, who can see the base pairs connected by hydrogen bonds, how can a transcendent imagination emerge?

"...so, that's the way it is.

"The roots of inequality are already embedded in our genes.

"The pursuit of wealth essentially comes from the desire to possess resources; while the desire to possess resources stems from the desire for reproduction and survival at the genetic level.

"The more abundant resources, the more guaranteed the reproduction of genes and the comfort of genes—and human beings are driven by them, constantly pursuing more.

"...so, no matter how evenly distributed wealth is, inequality cannot be eliminated—it is only a reflection of resources, and without wealth, the ownership or use of resources can be re-divided in many ways, divided by different People have different shares... because of wisdom, luck, small mutations in genes, these are not controllable.

"So—what should we do?"

Navalli was silent for a moment, then said again:

"I have tried to forcefully knock out the desire to possess resources at the genetic level...but that is essentially a manifestation of the survival desire of the gene-so in the big data simulation, when I use drugs, environmental factors, or chips to force After getting rid of human beings' desire to possess genes, human beings' desire to survive also disappears.

"I also thought about starting from the second type of inequality, eliminating the uncontrollability of human genes, so that all people can naturally develop synchronously—but again, in the big data simulation, such human beings, due to genetic mutations Possibilities disappear, and any possibility of development is lost."

"...I've searched countless ways technically, but I still haven't gotten what I want - what should I do?

"...Finally, I finally thought of a key word."

……

"Oh my God..."

Petunia heard her parents' exclamations.

They are like two wooden sculptures, looking at the bill that is almost completely written on the stone tablet, the expressions on their faces are very strange.

It seems to be admiring, and it seems to be mocking, and finally fell into a deep puzzle.

"I say……"

Mother elbowed Father.

"...This bill shouldn't have much impact on us, right?"

Father shook his head.

"...I think we're probably going to be pretty hard hit by it."

Petunia listened to her parents' whispers, and also stared intently at the bill text on it.

This time, she didn't ask "Lucy" to help her explain, because the sentence on it was understandable even by children, and children could understand it.

but……

Because of this, Petunia opened her mouth wide.

because.

A decree like this, even only a child can think of it? ! !
……

"What is that key word?

"...is a 'risk'."

Navalli said calmly.

"In this world, the richer people are, the more money they can earn; the more resources people have, the more likely they are to occupy more resources...and in the process, their quality of life is getting better. Can be guaranteed, the more life can be extended.

"Ordinary people who live in the poorest black neighborhoods in Brooklyn have a death rate of more than 30.00% in ten years; but rich people who live in the high-end neighborhoods of Queens Avenue have an average life expectancy of more than 85 years.

"The poor speculate, and if they fail once, they will be smashed to pieces; the rich speculate, and fail once, it is completely harmless, and the return on success is even much higher than that of the poor...

"This is a complete positive feedback. The more external resources, the smaller the foreseeable risks, and the more guaranteed the reproduction of genes."

"Even if wealth is averaged over and over again, human beings will differentiate into inequality over and over again - because genes always pursue a more life-safe environment.

"This is the key issue, or the essence of human society - the inversion of wealth and survival risk. It also makes the total amount of wealth in the world more and more concentrated."

It's finally coming to an end.

Navalli struck a heavy hammer for "Bill Zero" with a voice like a sentence.

"Thus, thinking of this, I couldn't help but come up with an idea——

"...What if I change the direction of the wealth-survival risk inversion? What if I reset this formula? Use macro rules and social frameworks to completely break this genetic level of trust...

"...So, what's going to happen?"

……

"Bill No. [-]" has been announced here.

The content is as follows:

"From now on, at the end of each month, across the United States, a comprehensive calculation will be made based on the wealth flow and possession of all standard citizens in the previous month. The wealth situation will include hidden equity, holding rights, and virtual bonds...and unified as Credit points are calculated and finalized to determine the standard citizen wealth ranking for the month.

"On the first day of the first month, according to the standard citizen wealth ranking determined at the end of last month, personnel will be selected, and a special executive robot will be dispatched to implement brain death procedures on the person. The selection rules are as follows:
"The top 100 wealthiest people in the United States, calculated by credit points, kill ten people every month, and their wealth can be inherited by relevant natural persons in accordance with the law.

"The top 1000 wealthiest people in the United States, calculated by credit points, kill 50 people every month, and their wealth can be inherited by relevant natural persons in accordance with the law.

"The top 1 people in the United States, calculated by credit points, kill 100 people every month, and their wealth can be inherited by relevant natural persons in accordance with the law.

"The top 100 people in the United States, calculated by credit points, kill 1000 people every month, and their wealth can be inherited by relevant natural persons in accordance with the law.

"The bill has the highest effect, irrevocable, irrevocable, and arbitrary laws and regulations that conflict with it cannot be applied to the fields regulated by the L-PDE model.

"The contents of this Act have been in effect since the time of its introduction."
