Three years passed again
In these three years, great changes have taken place in the whole world. Fueled by the anti cherry alliance, the contradiction in public opinion is becoming more and more intense. "Should cherry blossoms be banned" has gradually become an important topic in the network.
As people gradually understand the existence of "cherry blossoms", all kinds of messy debates have become particularly acute.
But the debate belongs to the debate. Most people still feel that since this thing will not affect their own life, and the robot system does not recognize it as illegal, there is no need to interfere with other people's choices.
Use it if you want, pull it down if you don't want to. Why should it be prohibited by law?!
This is the mainstream cognition of society, a helpless fact.
The population of Donghai city moves more frequently. Some people go away after traveling outside. Because Donghai city does not allow the use of "cherry blossoms", they simply move to other places. Anyway, they can move the city as long as they make a report.
Some professors from Qingbei University have moved from Beijing. Beijing, with a population of more than 10 million, did not vote at first, and now it is even more impossible.
Including some people of insight who oppose cherry blossoms, they often come to this city to investigate how they voted in the first place.
In fact, the whole process is also difficult to copy. It just occupies a time window, and the opposition force passed it forcibly before it grew.
Donghai City, which banned "cherry blossoms" from the beginning, seems to have become the stronghold of the opposition.
In three years, 16 referendums were held in the surrounding cities, 14 failed and 2 succeeded. But this result is far worse than Zhang Yuan expected.
With the gradual spread of "cherry blossoms", more and more people use it, and the "anti cherry alliance" can't even start the 17th vote. That is, these three cities have become the only remaining cities in the world, and they may be attacked at any time.
Over the past three years, Zhang Yuan has copied a large number of real-world online novels, released many games and won a large number of fans. Under the "coercion and inducement" of various games, these fans helped Zhang Yuan when voting, but that's it. It's really difficult to really change anything.
Seeing the sky falling down bit by bit, personal strength can only be regarded as a boat in front of the tide of the times. It is a little difficult to protect oneself, and there is the possibility of subversion at any time. This feeling of powerlessness reminded Zhang Yuan of the Gliese civilization. It was really a lonely and helpless civilization. He watched himself fall into the abyss step by step.
"A political party needs a strong political party to change everything!"
However, few people responded. Even the "anti cherry alliance" were unwilling to participate in the so-called power struggle. Many people are willing to oppose "cherry blossoms", but they are not willing to give everything for it.
……
In the fourth year, Barry Pandora, the inventor and chemist of cherry blossom, committed suicide by cutting his wrist at home.
The chemist's death did not make any splash in this colorful world. He just wrote a letter to the "anti cherry alliance".
"... I'm sorry, I created this devil, but I don't have the power to seal it back. Everything is my responsibility. "
"... I visited our campus yesterday. I do this almost every year. I like to recall the good times of my childhood. There is always a mother like warmth on the campus."
"Five years ago, our students were still full of ideals and morality. When they went out of society, they would choose to climb a high mountain, travel around the world, or find something to do for themselves... The so-called personal little dream."
"But now, most people just think about how to get rid of the constraints of robot teachers and how to enter the society to obtain greater physical happiness..."
"In social practice, students' ideology has been polluted. Our world is no longer pure, and some demons have extended their magic grasp to these students who have just left the campus. They lure girls to use 'cherry blossoms' to meet their desire to conquer... "
"What we have built is completely different from what we strive for
"I've been thinking about the difference between climbing a mountain and participating in a marathon to get spiritual enjoyment and directly getting physical enjoyment... Or there's no difference in itself. Perhaps there is another essential difference, the difference between soul and body, which I can't describe. "
"Human beings will not perish. With robots, human beings will not perish..."
"I'm such a coward. Goodbye, the world."
Barry Pandora wrote a lot incoherently. He didn't know what was the so-called "good" or what was the so-called "bad". He just feels that the society is becoming more and more "bad", which is caused by himself, and then he died irresponsibly at home
……
In the fifth year, the number of cities that banned the use of "cherry blossoms" changed from three to two. One of the cities, through a referendum, revised the law again.
This is not the first major setback for the anti cherry alliance.
The vote of the "anti Cherry Blossom alliance" in the past two years can almost be said to be an overwhelming failure. In cities with cherry blossoms, there are almost an overwhelming majority of votes against it. At this time, verbal appeals alone are completely meaningless.
Even the positions of members of the alliance began to loosen gradually.
Some people feel that there is no need to work so hard at all. Indeed, as the chemist Barry Pandora said, what is the essential difference between a child who is determined to climb a mountain or indulge in all kinds of material enjoyment after graduation?
The world has long stopped making progress. The vast majority of productivity and services are provided by robots. Human beings cannot perish. Whether the spiritual level is better or worse, human beings can still live on this planet and live their own comfortable days.
Because of their opposition to "cherry blossoms", these originally very influential people have also fallen into verbal and written criticism. There is still internet violence in the world, especially when the supporters of "Cherry Blossom" occupy the vast majority... They think that the "anti Cherry Blossom alliance" wants to control more power to restrict human freedom.
In this way, after a fierce internal meeting, a large number of members of the "anti cherry alliance" chose to leave. They have admitted their failure and are no longer willing to resist too much.
