Chapter 387 The Beginning of a Busy Night(1/2)
Chapter 387 The beginning of a busy night
Chen Yan walked into the hall and looked at Nuomi Guo, who had an ugly face.
"Nuomiguo, you look like you need help."
Nuomiguo handed him the newspaper, and he picked it up and saw a bold line on the front page of the newspaper:
"Shocking! A professor at a high-street university actually had hundreds of female students in secret during his 50-year tenure!"
"What's this?"
Nuomiguo told him what happened this afternoon.
After hearing this, Chen Yan was a little surprised and said: "In other words, after you printed 200,000 newspapers, the contents of the newspapers were still changed."
Nuomiguo frowned and nodded.
Chen Yan wondered: "That's not right. Logically speaking, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon after the printing was completed. It is impossible to have more time to complete the writing, typesetting and printing of another version of the content."
Wolfe said from the side: "But it is indeed the case. We have just bought newspapers from several newsstands on different streets, and they are all like this!"
He handed several newspapers to Chen Yan.
After Chen Yan finished reading, when he looked at Nuomi Guo, his eyes had calmed down and he said, "There is extraordinary power that intervened in it."
Wolfe was surprised and said: "Mr. Chen, you also know this!"
Chen Yan waved his hand to signal him to shut up, and then said: "There is something wrong with this matter. It is obviously aimed at you guys. It is best not to go out tonight. Ogami will get off work soon."
He hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Even if this matter is reported, I don't think it will have much effect."
After he finished speaking, he fell silent.
Nuomiguo thought about the meaning of his words, remembered the whole incident, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Yan.
When she saw the deep disgust in Chen Yan's lowered eyes, she understood what he was thinking.
Chen Yan lowered his head and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and said:
"Do you still have the photos?"
Nuomiguo looked at Wolfe.
Wolfe immediately took out a stack of photos from the backpack beside him:
"My dad took this photo!"
Chen Yan looked at the bloody things in those photos, thought of Tom Ribot's situation at that time, and thought of the last time he took great risks to report the steam bus company incident, and immediately stood in awe:
"Mr. Ribot is a respectable warrior. When he comes back safely this time, I will definitely go and visit him."
Wolfe heard that his father had been praised. Although he didn't know the exact meaning of "warrior", he was still very happy, and his affection for Chen Yan soared.
He held the photo and said to Nuomi Guo:
"I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee of success."
Hearing what Chen Yan said, the ugly look on Nuomi Guo's face disappeared, replaced by strong curiosity.
She didn't know that the landlord had such connections.
Or maybe it's not through connections, but other... special ways?
Chen Yan returned to the bedroom on the third floor, locked the door, took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and took the photo Wolf gave him.
'If the mobile phone is really the product of the [Mechanical Ascension Experiment] and is an extension of my body, then the photos taken by the mobile phone are equivalent to these photos being [stored] in my [body].'
he was thinking.
'Quantum entanglement allows my body and quantum clone to share everything, so the photos stored in my body should also appear in the quantum clone's... data?'
He couldn't wait to verify all this.
He sat on the bed and closed his eyes——
The next moment, in the server, Chen Yan opened his eyes.
He felt that there was something more "in his body". He stretched out his "hand" and saw a chain composed of countless dark blue 0s and 1s surrounding his fingertips.
He waved his "finger" gently, and the chains "intertwined" out of thin air to form a picture.
That scene was the photo of violent conflict in the industrial area that Tom Ribot had taken.
Done!
He looked into the distance.
This time, there was more than one building in the vast white network time - next to the tall building before, several smaller buildings appeared. Although they didn't look as imposing as the tall buildings, they were more exquisite.
'More people have entered the online world...but they just don't know what kind of website those small buildings represent?'
In the area where several buildings are located, there is a ground that looks like asphalt texture. There are clear road traffic markings drawn on the ground. Those markings are different from the road markings in Yanan City, and they are also different from Chen Yan’s hometown.
The road traffic markings are very different.
'Everything is under construction...but it is using a brand-new rule that has not appeared in human history...Where did the director know about these things?'
Chen Yan came to the building, got into the ventilation ducts with ease, and found some active rooms along the ventilation ducts.
There are obviously many more active rooms in the building than before, and more people have appeared - probably more than ten times more people than before. After the first test, they participated in the [New Dawn] project and entered the server.
Chen Yan thought that since the director's server was only opened in Shangcheng District at this stage, there must be some prominent people in this building - the elites of Shangcheng District dominate Yanan City through various channels.
The operation of all things, they are his possibility to solve this incident.
He wandered in the dark blue data stream, passing through one room after another. He found that the types of rooms were much richer than before. In addition to the ones he had seen before, there were also things like slot machines and musical instrument rooms.
There are even various simulators: rock climbing, hunting, shopping...
Chen Yan searched along these rooms until he saw a large conference room connected by several rooms, where a group of people were discussing something intensely.
"I feel that universal subsidies are feasible, but who will provide the money? Your Ministry of Construction has no money, but our municipal government has money? The tax pool is only small, and it is used to subsidize civilians. What about the citizens' social insurance?
What about pension insurance? Do you know how many people froze to death in Yanan this winter? The social insurance fund pool will be drained!"
"There is no need to cry about being poor. Everyone knows what the market is like this year. The tax revenue provided by the shitty market in previous years was enough to build the entire lower city. How can the market that has prospered many times now not be able to subsidize cheap prices?"
What about technology products?”
"These two things cannot be confused at all. Our existing silicon mines cannot even support the coverage of electronic equipment in the upper city. How can it be possible for the citizens of Yanan City to use electronic equipment? Even if the municipal government provides subsidies,
There is not enough ore to make raw materials, let alone finished products. This whole thing is completely unrealistic imagination of William Master, and we don't need to follow his madness!"
…
When he learned that the director really had the idea of "using tax revenue to popularize the Internet," Chen Yan understood another thing:
The people in this conference room are all so-called "big shots."
Chen Yan never had any expectations for these people, nor did he hold the belief that "if you do it, you will succeed", but just wanted to give it a try:
He stretched out his finger and placed the data represented by the photo on the "downward" route of the ventilation duct connecting this room.
The data representing the photo is incorporated into the downstream data stream and is fed into the room the next moment.
Then, a bunch of photos suddenly appeared on the table in the conference room.
The heated discussion came to an abrupt end.
"Huh? What is this?"
When Chen Yan saw it, they began to pick up the photos and look at them carefully.
"Fake, what is this? Where did it happen? Industrial area?"
"I've been to this factory...it's a parts factory, and the boss is a good, law-abiding citizen."
"Oh? Then the handful of money he handed to the police officer ended up in your hands?"
"I do not know what you're talking about."
"The police force in Yanan City has just been handed over to you, and something like this happened. I think you need to give us an explanation."
"Hey, why are you pretending to be so noble?"
"Shut up! You are a disgrace to the House!"
"I suggest that we organize a roundtable meeting now to respond to this undisputed heinous incident. Oh... those poor workers, they need to get the compensation they deserve!"
"Fuck you... you dogs... are better than me..."
…
The insults that followed were too unpleasant to hear. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Chen Yan stopped staying and left the building along the data flow. He found an open space in the pale Internet world and closed his eyes.
At the same time, in the present world, Chen Yan opened his eyes, got out of bed, and tidied his clothes.
Tonight must be very busy. Chen Yan didn't want to waste time, so he left the room and went down to the first floor. He told Nuomiguo roughly what he had done and asked her to wait patiently.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will quickly develop in unexpected ways.
Chen Yan thought that maybe he would know the outcome of this matter tomorrow morning.
Ogami pushed open the door and walked in. He was in good spirits today and even brought dinner back.
