This time, he landed on ABC TV.
"This Man is a demon from hell. I must judge him!"
Two men in suits stood on the stage. One was shorter and the other was taller. At this time, the shorter man suddenly roared, "This Man, you're a demon from hell! I shall judge you right now!"
With that, he shut his eyes tightly and pointed his finger at the camera. "I'll judge you in the name of God!"
The taller man on the side immediately closed his eyes when he heard these words. He clasped his hands together in a moved and profound manner, appearing to be praying.
"You're a saboteur! You're a killer, you're a demon!"
The shorter man yelled passionately, "Get out of here. Your power has been destroyed by me. Get out of here, because I shall put you on trial!
"I demand, I demand, I demand that you disappear immediately! I cast you out of your kingdom!"
As he spoke, he pointed his finger to the ground and chanted, "You've fallen and crawled on the ground, just as God commanded you when he put his foot on your head in the Garden of Eden! This Man, you'll be vanquished, no longer able to run amuck!"
Hearing this, the taller man hurriedly shouted, "Never again! Never again!"
"The catastrophe has ended and Northern America has recovered its former tranquility and peace… Hallelujah!"
Seeing this, Sanimo could not help but twitch his mouth and he simply turned off the TV in the dormitory.
As This Man was everywhere on the Internet, Sanimo did not go online at all but had turned on the TV. Who would have thought that the programs on TV were completely taken over by This Man as well?
What he did not know was that at this time, the entire Earth Federation was already assessing this matter seriously…
Currently, more than a hundred representatives had gathered in the conference room of the Earth Federation headquarters.
"Everything that is happening now is very abnormal."
The representative from Northern America wore a somber expression. "After our preliminary summary, we've ascertained that all humans who have seen the picture of This Man will dream of him that night and there has never been an exception."
"Is that so?"
The representatives of the other continents looked at each other when they heard these words. Among them, the representative of the European Continent said immediately, "But there's no such situation on our side…"
"Could it be because This Man hasn't spread that far yet?"
The representative of Northern America could not help but say bitterly, "Maybe in a few days, a similar situation will happen on your side."
"The picture of This Man has indeed spread to where we are."
The representative of Oceania shrugged. "But unfortunately, except for you guys, the entire world has not come across any similar phenomenon. Perhaps the riots and demonstrations on your side are due to other factors…"
The representative of the Northern American Continent naturally would not believe these words. He turned his head and looked at the representatives of other continents. "What about the rest of you?"
"We haven't come across that yet."
The representative of Mainland China replied with a calm expression, "Moreover, everything about This Man, including his name and the pattern, have been blocked by our entire network. Although some people claimed that they dreamed of This Man, after we summoned them to local police stations, we discovered that they were all rumors to gain attention."
Upon hearing this, the representative of Northern America was astounded.
After asking around, there was no similar situation in other parts of the earth except Northern America. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room and an assistant walked in. She leaned down and said something in the ear of the Northern American representative.
"Are you serious?"
There was a burst of shock on the face of the Northern American representative. He suddenly raised his head and stared at the assistant.
"It has been confirmed."
The assistant nodded.
"I see. You may leave…"
The representative of the Northern American Continent looked solemn and he waved his hand to send the assistant away.
"What happened?"
The representative of the European Continent asked immediately.
"Our Ministry of Defense verified one thing just now."
He took a deep breath, wearing a glum expression. "There are some Northern American citizens who have fled abroad due to the riots. They found that after they left Northern America, they no longer dreamed of This Man…"
After hearing this, the representatives of the other continents had varying reactions. It was hard to tell what they were thinking.
"It seems that we've found the reason the This Man phenomenon hasn't occurred in other continents."
The representative of the European Continent pushed up his glasses after hearing this. "This is a regional phenomenon, only within Northern America?"
"If this speculation is true, it's even more frightening…"
The representative of Mainland China immediately said, "Because this represents two possibilities. First, This Man's influence is limited in scope; second, the other party only wants to attack the Northern American Continent.
"But no matter which explanation it is, it means that This Man or the phenomenon of This Man, is likely to be man-made…"
"Man-made?"
Everyone looked surprised. They were all elected as the official representatives of every continent in the Earth Federation, so their IQ was higher than average. Therefore, when this was said, the implications of this possibility occurred to them at once.
"Oh no!"
The representative of Northern America seemed to have thought of something. He stood up abruptly, then reached into his collar and took out a pendant shaped like a cross. "Everyone, if everything you've hypothesized just now is true, it means that the other party is attacking Northern America. I'm going to use this year's emergency quota for the Quantum Deity system. There should be no objections from you, right?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the representative of Mainland China.
"Of course. The Earth Federation is intricately connected, allies through thick and thin. We in Mainland China also don't wish to see Northern America being defeated by unknown forces."
The representative of Mainland China smiled and took out the pendant under his collar, only his pendant was in the shape of a twisting dragon.
"What about the representatives of the other continents?"
The representative of the Northern America Continent looked at the others.
"No objections."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
Everyone took out their pendants and voiced their agreement.
The congress of the Earth Federation was extremely efficient. After all authorized representatives had agreed to Northern America's request, everyone immediately walked toward the channel where the quantum computer Adam was housed.
After intensive inspections, everyone was even irradiated with X-rays in a sealed room. After confirming that there were no other objects on everyone's body, they got onto the electromagnetic levitation elevator.
The case of Buckle Murphy, the representative of Northern America, more than a month ago, was still vivid in their minds. He had hidden an object behind his eyes and brought it into the quantum laboratory in an attempt to destroy the quantum computer, Adam.
Fortunately, the quantum computer was physically isolated in super bulletproof glass and he finally failed to open it.
Still, after this incident, the security for the quantum computer Adam had been taken to a higher level and no person was allowed to enter the quantum core area. If one wanted to enter, one must be accompanied by at least three people.
At this time, the many representatives stepped into the quantum core area one by one. After that, the representatives of Northern Americ
a, Mainland China, the North Sea, and Europe stood on all sides of the quantum computer and at the same time, they raised their pendants.
In the next second, the quantum computer suddenly emitted four rays of light, shining on the four pendants through the glass.
A wondrous scene took place. These four pendants directly rose from the palms of everyone's hands and were suspended in mid-air!
At the same time, this quantum computer suddenly trembled slightly, making clanking sounds like the collision of glazed glass. At the same time, it composed speech that seemed to be formed by the collision of jade objects —
"Identity confirmed!"
As this voice spoke, the representative of Northern America immediately took a step forward and said eagerly, "Adam, enter the directional prediction mode and predict all information about This Man!"
"Please confirm that the Northern America Continent will consume this year's prediction quota and the prediction is related to the occurrence of the 'This Man' incident in Northern America?"
The quantum computer verified again.
"Confirmed!"
With the order from the representative of Northern America, the quantum computer suddenly broke out into a harsh hum while it vibrated slowly at a frequency visible to the naked eye…
If one had not witnessed all this, who would have imagined that the quantum computer, which was far beyond the scope of human technology, was operating in such a manner that was unheard of…
Seeing this, everyone took back their pendants again, put them in their pockets, and then exited the quantum core area in an orderly manner.
After leaving the quantum core zone, the representative of the Northern America Continent secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around at everyone and said sincerely, "No matter what the final prediction is, I hope that if we can't solve the problem, you can convince your governments to help those of us in Northern America."
"Of course, we will not stand idly by."
Everyone nodded and agreed.
However, before they had even finished agreeing, the laboratory's broadcast made a sudden announcement. "Emergency meeting, emergency meeting, representatives from all continents, please go to the conference room quickly! Repeat, emergency meeting…"
"It's out so soon?"
The representatives of all the continents were taken aback for a moment and hurried to the conference room. In less than two minutes, everyone had returned to the conference room again.
Even so, after coming to the conference room, the expression of the Northern American representative sank.
On the computer screen of a supercomputer in the conference room, a large number of disturbance curves had emerged.
There were a lot of complicated values marked on it. These values were so complicated that only this group of representatives could understand them. At this time, seeing the data on the screen, the representatives of the continents could not help inhaling sharply.
"This is a crisis disturbance curve!"
The representative of the European Continent looked anxious with a hint of anger. "This kind of curve means that it's a matter of life and death for the Northern American Continent, but why did Adam not warn us before?"
"Perhaps because this is a disaster in Northern America, but it isn't a disaster to humans in the rest of the world?"
The representative of the Indian Continent immediately guessed. "After all, it's just a computer which hasn't been programmed with human emotions and thoughts?"
"No, Adam's ability is known to everyone here. A quantum computer with this kind of computing power can simulate the evolution of everything in the world. It's impossible that it wouldn't understand what the demise of Northern America means to the entire human civilization!"
The representative of Oceania immediately explained, "It's smarter than you and me here!"
"This isn't the time to talk about this, gentlemen!"
The representative of Northern America was already like a cat on a hot tin roof. He walked to the computer in two or three steps and began to retrieve other information. He had to know — what This Man was, who created it, and how they should solve it.
However, as he looked over the information sent by Adam, he was rooted to the ground in shock.
This was because he found that, besides the possibility of Northern America's destruction, there was nothing else in the computer.
In regards to all predictions regarding This Man, the quantum computer was like a blank slate…
Chapter 425: Investigation and Showdown |
The fifth day, in the evening.
The Blacklight Biotechnology Headquarters Building in the Eco Science City, the highest 62nd floor.
Chen Chen was sitting before a huge red sandalwood desk. In front of him, a barbell loaded with a large number of plates was suspended in the air as if a giant invisible hand was holding it and even twirling it flexibly.
While this huge barbell was spinning at high speed, it even dragged the air and made a whirring sound. Chen Chen believed that if anyone was hit by the barbell now, they would immediately be shattered into pieces.
It was only ten minutes later when Chen Chen felt a slight warmth in his nose. He subconsciously touched it but noticed his hand was stained with blood. With a glance from him, the huge barbell flew backward.
With a "clang", the barbell parked itself steadily in the corner of the office, becoming still.
"The weight is 300 kilograms, the time is 13 minutes and 25 seconds, so my Field can exert more than 9,000N."
Immediately, Little X walked up from one side and said, "Sir Godfather, in three months, your Field energy has shot up by six times. You have seen a significant improvement almost every day!"
"That's right, now I have the confidence to physically fly."
Chen Chen nodded. With his current power of Field, he was already able to fly at high altitudes. Due to his light bodyweight, he was able to hold on for much longer than thirteen minutes. Nonetheless, this force was not enough to make him fly at supersonic speed.
After he inwardly summed up today's training experience, Chen Chen took the tissue paper Little X handed him, wiped the blood off his face, and then waved his hand and opened the international website with the environmental holographic simulator.
At once, all recent information about This Man appeared on the major web pages.
"In just five days, Northern America has almost spiraled into chaos."
Seeing the web pages floating in thin air in front of him, Chen Chen was deeply moved. "It seems that in the Internet era of big data, the transmission ability of memes is greater than I thought. Faced with such memes, humans could do nothing but be toyed to death."
Little X held her chin like a tiny adult and nodded. "Well, this is the scary thing about memes. Not only can it easily control life and death, but it can even easily control people's hearts?"
"At present, this seems to be the case."
Chen Chen nodded. He suddenly seemed to think of something and asked again, "Has the work in other continents been completed?"
"It's not finished yet, but we can guarantee that This Man's influence will be suppressed to a very low level."
Little X naturally understood what Chen Chen was asking and immediately replied with confidence, "I only need to allocate a small part of my computing power to monitor the world. Nowadays, except for Northern America, I've planted back doors in the TV stations of all continents. As long as these people watch TV, I'll show a frame of 'This Man's Immunity Pattern' on their screens every ten minutes.
"Because there's only one frame, the pattern would disappear before they even notice it, but the effect of this one frame is enough for them to become immune to the This Man meme.
"On the Internet, I have also specially created several pop-up advertisements. These will be disguised as advertisements of the website and inadvertently pop up when netizens go online. The advertisements also contain a frame of the immunity p
attern. As long as their IP address isn't in Northern America, I can get these ads to be delivered accurately…
"With these two methods, I've probably immunized four-fifths of the world's population and the remaining people are those who rarely have access to computers, TVs, and mobile phones. If even my large-scale immunity delivery can't reach them, the chances of them being infected by This Man is zero, so we don't need to think about that."
After hearing Little X's report, Chen Chen nodded appreciatively. "Good job, thank you for your hard work."
"I don't find it hard at all."
Little X shook her head vigorously, with a serious expression.
At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in a few steps, frowning and looking down at the masses of sentient beings under his feet. "I have to say that it's a miracle we have developed to this point. There are so many things in the universe that we still cannot understand. If a supernova explodes dozens of light-years away, it can still kill the people on Earth."
"It's no wonder that Zhao Shanhe said that, although since World War II there haven't been any major disasters on the earth, it's just a coincidence. Human civilization is like a sandcastle built on the beach. Perhaps the next moment, a wave would crash in and the sandcastle would disappear completely…"
"That's why they need us."
Little X hopped up from behind, raising her white tender hands to knead Chen Chen's forehead. "Human civilization needs quantum computers to overcome difficulties for them and you also need me to help you remove all obstacles that stand in the way of your dreams!"
Chen Chen smiled and did not speak but at this moment, Little X looked serious again and said, "Sir Godfather, I've detected that the shield bearer in Northern America has used the year's only quota for the quantum computer, Adam, to predict everything about This Man. However, in Adam's prediction, only Northern America has a curve disturbance that indicates a high probability of extinction."
"Looks like they can't sit still anymore."
Chen Chen nodded. "What about the original data? If we didn't implant a back door into the quantum computer, would it predict that we did all of this?"
