Chapter 64 Change
On the way back, Rong Yuan asked Wandou to record his , and at the same time made corresponding improvements to the design program of Skynet. After he got home, he checked it again. Then at noon the next day, netizens who followed Skynet quickly discovered the huge changes in this website.
First of all, the overall perception of the web page has changed. In the past, the videos under the category of food safety in Taichung were arranged according to the time of publication, and there was no search option. It can be said that it was complicated and messy. In the revised page, users can sort by different options such as region, publication time, degree of harm, number of clicks, etc., and a quick search option has been added, which provides a lot of convenience for users to browse videos.
Secondly, all videos are sorted into two columns vertically, with the first column being the initial exposure video and the second column being the follow-up investigation video. The two columns have black/red heart ratings from one to five, providing an intuitive rating of the store's hygiene. At the end of each column, there are four options: [Hazard Statement] - Explains what category the store's original poor hygiene conditions belong to and what degree of consequences it will have on human health; [Improvement Description] - Lists what aspects of rectification and correction each store has made and what areas are still lacking; [Complaint] - If the store owner or diners have different opinions, they can raise them here; [Comment] - Netizens who browse the video can express their opinions here.
Then, a new option [Skynet Recommended] was added to the food safety section. Two videos are also released at noon every day. The difference is that the companies listed here are all conscientious companies that do not use any substances that are harmful to human health during the food production process. At the same time, they also pay great attention to the hygiene of tableware, ingredients, environment, service personnel, etc. These videos also use one to five red hearts to indicate the recommendation level, followed by four options: [Store Address], [Recommendation Reason], [Comment], and [Comment].
—— Rong Yuan felt that only promoting the bad and not the good would invisibly create a great sense of survival crisis for people, and make them think that they cannot feel safe eating anything except what they cook themselves. At the same time, due to the lack of better and safer choices, when they need it, they may choose a random store with the mentality of "any food can cause cancer anyway, so it should be okay to eat a little", and the significance of Tianwang's existence would be reduced. Or people would choose those stores that have been exposed for food problems and have made improvements, then Tianwang's exposure behavior would invisibly advertise these food stores. As Tianwang's influence expands, those stores that really make good food will become unpopular, and Tianwang will become an accomplice of bad money driving out good money, which is not Rong Yuan's original intention.
Therefore, while exposing the problem, we should also publicize conscientious businesses, so as not to achieve counterproductive results. However, after doing so, there will inevitably be conspiracy theorists who suspect that these stores have spent money to advertise on Skynet and question Skynet's authority and objectivity. However, the emergence of such remarks is expected, the harm is limited, and time will prove everything.
Finally, there is a blacklist, which lists the stores that did not make any corrections after being exposed and even evaded legal sanctions by various means, or had victims of food poisoning but did not compensate or apologize, or were once listed as "Skynet Recommended" but later had food safety problems, or were very good in hygiene and other aspects but insulted and bullied vulnerable customers... etc. All the stores with these problems are listed in it, and there are pictures, videos and the truth. Once you are on the blacklist, you need to make great efforts and go through a long probation period to get off. Rong Yuan listed more than 3,000 words and nearly 200 conditions for revocation, which is simply daunting.
At the same time, a new [Traffic Safety] option has been added under [Exposure Platform].
When Rong Yuan was browsing the reviews of Skynet on the Internet, he found that many people had requested for help, a large part of which were related to being hit by a car, not being able to find the person responsible for a car accident, unclear responsibility in a traffic accident, being robbed by motorcycle gangs, etc. If Rong Yuan could find video records or satellite photos of the incident, he would put them here.
In this section, people usually ask for help first and then post videos, because the traffic safety department can retrieve surveillance videos for general traffic accidents. Only when the relevant departments are helpless or deliberately cover up the case, Rongyuan will take measures such as restoring deleted surveillance records, retrieving videos from private vehicles, and searching for cell phone footage to provide evidence.
Rong Yuan ignored all requests for finding commercial spies, or for Skynet to act as a spy, or for some officials, wealthy businessmen and other powerful people to be corrupt and bribed, or for Skynet to investigate, or for hiring Skynet to investigate extramarital affairs, property transfers and capital flows. Skynet is still too fragile and has little influence. Not many people know and believe in it. If you rashly touch certain restricted areas, you may be killed. Although the power to completely block Skynet does not exist at Rong Yuan's technical level, in order to convert things on the Internet into actual merits, it still requires people in reality - preferably official figures - to take action. So he will not touch those sensitive issues yet.
As for those who wanted to send him money for whatever purpose, Rong Yuan responded by publishing a public account on the homepage. He asked Wandou to set up this account at the Huangmei International Bank in Huangmei Country. Huangmei International Bank is the most confidential bank in the world, and the account was opened with a different identity than his own, so it was impossible for anyone to find him through this account.
If someone sent money to this account - there must be someone there, Rong Yuan was very confident about this - Rong Yuan did not intend to use a single cent of the money for himself, he would only use it to exchange for more merit points.
There are always many people in this world who suffer from all kinds of unimaginable difficulties because of lack of money: no money to study, no money to treat illness, no money to get married, no money to raise children, no money to bury... For some people, it may be just the money for a meal or a piece of clothing, but it can change the fate of others and take a completely different life path. For these people, Rong Yuan wanted to help them in the past, but he himself did not have much money, and he did not want to be directly associated with too many "good deeds" that were inconsistent with his nature.
With such a secret account, if a large amount of stable and continuous funds can be injected into this account, Rong Yuan will be able to do many things that he wanted to do but could not do in the past, and the income of merit points will no longer be limited to the channel of searching for wanted criminals.
Besides, Rong Yuan never felt that helping others for a reward was something that needed to be condemned or that he had a guilty conscience. Fortunately, the judgment criteria of the "Book of Merits" were the same as his. In the judgment of the "Book of Merits", helping others is helping others. Merits will not be reduced because of extra material gratitude, nor will merits be increased because of selfless dedication. On the contrary, if the process of helping others for free fosters the mentality of "a little bit of kindness is a grudge" or "a fool with a lot of money comes quickly", the merit points will be deducted.
In addition, there is an old saying in Tang Country: "If you do good intentionally, you will not be rewarded, and if you do evil unintentionally, you will not be punished." However, the Merit Book does not care what the contractor's starting point is. As long as good results are achieved, merit points will be awarded, and if bad results are achieved, merit points will be deducted. Fortunately, it is so, otherwise Rong Yuan would probably find it difficult to get any merit points.
In addition, on the homepage of Skynet, a new category has been added next to [Exposure Platform]: [Kinship Bridge].
Rong Yuan had always used the powerful search capabilities of the optical computer to find wanted criminals, but after accidentally opening a family search information, Rong Yuan realized that helping people find lost or abducted relatives could not only earn merit points, but also occupy a moral high ground in terms of public opinion. In this way, even if Skynet violates the interests of some people in the future, it will not be easily blocked.
Sugar Country has a large population. Every year, there are many children who are abandoned, trafficked, run away from home and never found again. There are also many elderly people or patients who are lost because of unconsciousness. Their relatives put the information about finding relatives on the Internet, but ordinary people who have not experienced the same pain generally rarely browse such websites. Even if they have seen the information about finding relatives on the website, they will not specifically help to find them in the vast sea of people. What's more, most people are not particularly good at remembering and recognizing appearances. The flat images in photos and the three-dimensional appearance of real people often look a little different. Even if you walk past them face to face, you may not recognize them. If the time of being lost is too long, the appearance changes can be called unrecognizable. Therefore, luck .
But the optical brain is different. Its search mainly uses skull recognition technology. As long as a person has not undergone major plastic surgery, the size and characteristic proportion of the skull space structure will not change much no matter how many decades have passed. As long as the image of a person is taken by the optical brain, the skull space structure is analyzed and compared at multiple scales and stored in the database. At this time, you only need to perform the same analysis on the photos on the family search website, and then screen and compare them with the stored data to complete the recognition and identity confirmation in a very short time.
Among the eight provinces to which the optical computer's current search range has been extended, except for some extremely backward and remote villages with basically no electronic equipment, it can be said that the identity and appearance information of all people is in the optical computer's database.
After Rong Yuan gave the order, he expected that this search for relatives would not be fruitless, but the search on the optical computer still exceeded his expectations.
There was no result in the first half hour after the order was issued. During this time, the optical computer was analyzing and modeling the photos of relatives on the Internet. Half an hour later, the modeling was completed and the data comparison and screening began. After a pause of more than ten seconds, Rong Yuan saw that the results of the comparison were constantly refreshed, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Before he could see the previous line clearly, the next line came out.
" The consistency between number 00003 and number a1033673 is 97.8%."
"The consistency between number 00017 and number a0087659 is 88.9%."
"The consistency between number 00054 and number b2745638 is 93.5%."
"The consistency between number 00177 and number d0896435 is 91.6%."
"The consistency between number 00354 and number b1845387 is 96.3%."
Lines of text came up like a gusher. Rong Yuan was stunned. He looked at the result that was brushed up like a waterfall in shock and astonishment. He felt inexplicably excited in his heart.
Those silent numbers are like a warm hand grasping the heart, causing the blood to rush faster and the chest to twitch. In the silence, the only sound one can hear is the trembling "thump thump" of one's own heartbeat.
An inexplicable emotion made Rong Yuan sit in his study all night. He kept staring at the virtual screen hanging in the air, silently waiting for the moment when every word would appear. He felt very excited, but this kind of excitement was different from the excitement when he landed on the moon. It was a kind of... how to put it? Was it the self-satisfaction of intoxicating in the act of saving? Or was it the sense of belonging of social animals helping their own kind? Or was it the increase of adrenaline content caused by the unutilitarian behavior, stimulating the body organs to transmit abnormal signals to the brain nerves?
At dawn, the search for identity verification finally slowed down. In the end, there were no new authentication results for more than half an hour. Rong Yuan knew that these provinces could only find so many. In the following time, with the flow of people, there would probably be only two or three kittens a day at most. If there were to be more and more discoveries, the scope of the optical brain's database would have to be expanded to more provinces.
"Rongyuan, do you want to send the search results to the [Kinship Bridge] page?" Wandou asked.
"We should send it, but not in this way," Rong Yuan said. If all 3,157 consistent findings were posted online, the shock it would cause could be imagined. "How about this, starting at 12 noon today, send one every half an hour, and at the same time send a message to the person who is looking for his/her relatives using the online contact information."
-Fixed sending time and frequency, so that someone with ulterior motives cannot judge his activity cycle from the time the information is sent, and it is also difficult to determine his occupation and true identity.
"In addition, if they find their relatives and request to keep their identities secret, we will mosaic the photos to hide their identity information."
- Not completely revoking the photo records will allow people who browse Skynet to know how much Skynet has done, which will help expand Skynet's influence and credibility.
"Finally, the information sent out started with the young children in City B who had recently lost contact."
——The range of crows' activities began to spread from City A, which was a recognized fact by the police. When Skynet was established, the search range of the optical computer had expanded to several provinces outside City A. At the beginning, the videos sent were half from City A and half from City B. Recently, Rong Yuan counted them and found that most of them were from City B. At this time, he deliberately chose to start from City B, naturally hoping to subtly give people the impression that Skynet started from City B.
Crows are involved in killing and darkness, and they are probably on the police blacklist. If Skynet, whose influence is gradually expanding, is confirmed to be connected to Crows, then no matter how influential it is in society, it will inevitably be forced to die. So even if it is only a little bit, he will start to gradually separate Crows and Skynet into two similar but different organizations.
Pea noted down all his requests and replied softly, "Yes!"
