In the Land of Origin, there is a mysterious, modern metropolis isolated at one end of the swamp surrounded by clouds. The exterior of the city is inconspicuous, but the interior is full of iron birds, steel snakes, and retractable actinic buildings.

The city is governed by a group of dominant super-intelligent lifeforms, and highly developed technology is the core that keeps the city system functioning. The scientists are unique devotees, revered by the city, and have a status and power on a par with the rulers.

But all of this turned out to be a whitewashed illusion, and any kind of creature in the swamp, even the most humble insects and monsters, was luckier than those super-intelligent life forms. At the basic level, at least insects are not facing a crisis of extinction as a whole, and for smart cities, such a crisis could erupt at any time, and no one can predict it in advance.

The crisis comes from a 20,000-kilometre-deep barren area of the swamp, where unknown intruders have dropped the threat of extremely dangerous black balls. The threat is located outside the city, but it points his hair at him, making the happy people of the smart city live on a tightrope, with the warm artificial sunlight above their heads, but the dark abyss under their feet.

Nivanch's negative sentiment analysis data clearly illustrates all this sad everything, and the saddest thing is that as a representative of a scientist, he has mastered the source of the crisis and understood what will happen, but he is powerless to prevent it, and even has to guess all day long who will be the shameless spy around him.

Meng Qi thought: "If you find out that spy, will you be able to trace the source from him and find the controller behind the scenes, that is, the person who cast those black negative emotion balls?" After all, the spy is instructed by someone, and no one will believe that he is willing to take a huge risk to lie dormant in the wisdom city, but he still can't figure out who his boss is. ”

That spy, is it the demon king who has grown into the shape of a bull? But the Demon King is afraid of black balls, and even a black ball that tickles him will cause him nightmares, how can he help the master behind the scenes to manipulate them?

It can't be the Demon King, that's Yorkoff? He looked sleepy and sloppy, was he deliberately pretending to make people let their guard down against him? But that man is the rotating chairman of the Authority! The Authority's background checks on him are certainly stricter than anyone's, and he is unlikely to have a problem.

Mengqi was dizzy from analysis, there were not many people he knew in the wisdom city, and he had to go through each one carefully in his heart to find out the clues and find out the people who might be spies.

"Kid, what are you thinking?" Nivanch also stared at the analyzer for a long time, and suddenly asked.

"Huh? Oh, no...... It's nothing. Mengqi lied and replied perfunctorily.

Nivanch said: "In this master control room, there are a total of 65 microcomputers, and each microcomputer is responsible for a negative emotion, so the minimum type of negative emotion outside the glass room is 65. ”

"Huh? There won't be so many of them, right? Mengqi couldn't believe the number. The negative emotions that are well known to the public are nothing more than joy, anger, greed, hatred, jealousy or arrogance, and there are no more than ten, where did scientists come up with 65 types?

Nivanch said: "People have many micro-emotions, which exist in the deep consciousness, and it is generally difficult for them to even perceive themselves. The emotions you mentioned are easy to identify, so it's not difficult to deal with them at all, but it's those micro-emotions that you can't usually find. For example, if an amiable person has never lost his temper in his life, it does not mean that his personality is as peaceful as it seems. Once he encounters the trigger, he becomes a different person, a stranger who no one knows, and uses the invisible personality of the stimulated to do unexpected things. ”

Mengqi said: "I understand, those black balls are using the micro-emotions of human beings. The evil light itself does not have special abilities, but when people with micro-emotions are stimulated by them, it becomes dangerous, which is the power of the behind-the-scenes controllers to attack the wisdom city. ”

Nivanch said: "In addition to the main point you have come to the table, there is another important point: why the controller behind the scenes would attack the Smart City in this way. Do you see that? ”

Mengqi looked around, his eyes fell on the magical light glass, and he slapped his hair head and shouted, "I can see it!" It's because the city is made of solid-state light that it gives those villains a chance! The light of the black ball can penetrate the radar defense system of the smart city and drive straight in, unknowingly invading the people in the city! ”

Nivanqi stopped talking, and under the bright light, Mengqi saw tears flickering in the old man's eyes, and his throat suddenly stopped.

After a few moments, Nivench began to pace slowly between the long tables where the computer monitors were placed, and said, "For the monitoring of unidentified particles, there are three levels: normal, no threat. Even if particles are present, they can live with humans without infecting them. Danger level, the particles are starting to become active, forming powerful electromagnetic waves, ready to attack the target at any time. For so many years, the unidentified particles over the smart city have been at a dangerous level and have not yet endangered the lives of residents. But the light of evil ...... Hey, I've tried my best to stabilize the viability of the Evil Light, but I've failed. If the Evil Light threat is divided into three levels in the same way, it has reached the war level, which is the highest level that our defense system can reach, which means that the Photon Riot is about to take place, and the activities of the Evil Light have become completely uncontrollable. Once 10,000 black balls explode and the filaments of light drill into the smart city, even if all weapon systems are adjusted to a state of free counterattack, it will not give people a sense of security. ”

"Is it really that serious? The weapon system has been adjusted to the state of free counterattack, which is the free counterattack plan you mentioned at the last regular meeting, right? Mengqi asked.

Nivanch nodded and said, "That's right." You may have noticed that in such a magnificent city, there is an authority, there are citizens, but there is no police or army to maintain law and order, and all the management forces are in the authority, so when war comes, what do we do to protect ourselves? ”

"yes, what can you do to protect yourself?" Mengqi asked worriedly. After being reminded by Ni Vanqi, he suddenly realized this lack of wisdom city.

Nivanch said: "I can't imagine how humans on the ancient earth responded to war. But when technology develops to the point where it can fully serve all aspects of human life, the police or the military, the apparatus of state violence, disappears from society. Instead, high-tech weapons of immense power, we need skilled weapons operators who are absolutely obedient to the Authority's orders. ”

Meng Qi suddenly realized, and said in amazement: "What the professor means is that under the jurisdiction of the Authority, there are many people who act as weapon operators, and they will not directly contact the enemy on the battlefield, but will only use high-tech weapons to defeat the enemy, right?" ”
