Section 3. Chaos
US President Andrew Herbert had long planned to take immediate measures to stop the situation from deteriorating further as soon as possible.
However, California Governor Robert Fisher was unwilling to accept the White House's arrangements unconditionally due to political considerations. Although he also intends to cooperate with the White House in handling this difficult matter, he still has his own little calculation. He wants to use this incident as a bargaining chip to obtain some benefits from the White House and require the White House to make some concessions to certain other political interests.
Andrew Herbert was very annoyed and angry about Robert Fisher's"blackmail". He hung up the phone angrily and did not want to continue talking to Robert Fisher. He was ready to send troops directly to Silicon Valley.
Robert Fisher was not willing to compromise easily, fearing that Andrew Herbert would take the initiative. He firmly stated to the White House that the California government was capable of handling the matter and did not want the federal government to send troops to intervene.
As a result, Andrew Herbert and Robert Fisher were at loggerheads, forming a deadlock and wasting the best opportunity to control the situation.
Later, as more and more dangerous signs emerged in Silicon Valley, both men became increasingly uneasy and their attitudes changed. After the efforts of White House Chief of Staff Donald Kennedy, the two talked on the phone again. And after several rounds of fierce bargaining, the two parties finally reached an agreement.
By ten o'clock in the evening, Andrew Herbert officially held a press conference at the White House to address the content of the viral video.
Andrew Herbert avoided the important points in his speech. He did not mention anything related to wormhole transmission technology and special gene transplantation technology. He neither admitted nor denied their existence, but focused on the List of Gai. On the charge of Len Scott. He accused Galen Scott of being an ambitious conspirator and a criminal who undermined world peace, and officially listed Galen Scott as"a serious threat to U.S. homeland security and U.S. allies." elements", and listed the"Universal Cult" as a terrorist organization. He vowed to eradicate Galen Scott and the"Cosmic Cult" at all costs.
At the same time, he also announced that in order to prevent people from being incited by the video content to gather in Silicon Valley to participate in illegal activities, California Governor Robert Fisher has agreed to the federal government sending troops to the state, in conjunction with the state’s National Guard and police. The police have stepped up their vigilance to avoid large-scale violent riots in the area.
After Andrew Herbert's speech, the federal government and the California government immediately took action.
At around 10:30 p.m., several major cities such as San Jose, Palo Alto, and Fremont in the Silicon Valley area successively announced the implementation of"curfew orders." 500 soldiers from the California National Guard and 200 police officers from the San Jose Police Department were officially dispatched. At the same time, 5,000 soldiers from the Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton in California were dispatched by the federal government. Marines also arrived in Silicon Valley. The White House and the California government issued separate orders to them, with the National Guard responsible for street order and the Marines responsible for dealing with potential lawbreakers. All those who violate the order must be arrested. For those who resist arrest and those who commit violence, if warnings are ineffective, the military and police can use all violent means to solve the problem. Therefore, in this operation, the army dispatched a large number of military-grade heavy weapons, including mine-resistant and anti-ambush vehicles、M-Type 1117 armored vehicles,"Hummer" high-mobility vehicles equipped with remote-controlled weapon stations,"Predator" drones, and"Black Hawk" helicopters, etc., put on a menacing posture.
Among the tens of thousands of test applicants gathered in Silicon Valley, most of them, whether outsiders or local residents, do not sincerely agree with Scott’s ideas and the beliefs of the"Cosmic Cult." Only a handful of people are serious fans of Scott. Some of these people are speculators who are looking forward to changing their destiny. The reason why they want to apply to participate in the experiment is entirely out of utilitarian psychology. They come purely for the opportunity to become a"new type of human being" and the attractive huge bonus. They are hot-headed, busybodies who just go and join in the fun because they think it's cool and fun.
Therefore, when those speculators and meddlesome people saw the army entering the city in a mighty manner and standing ready in the city, as if they were going to"really" act, they immediately"counseled" and took off the armbands tied to them one after another. Wearing a silk scarf, you transformed into a good citizen and returned to your home or hotel in a low-key manner, not daring to stay outside for fear of being"targeted" by soldiers and police who were eyeing you on the street.
Only those loyal Scott fans, whose total number is less than 2,000, are fighting alone. Full of passion and passion, they clashed head-on with the military and police on the streets regardless of anything. Even though they suffered all kinds of ruthless violent beatings, they still moved forward bravely.
It took less than half an hour for the army stationed in Silicon Valley to completely suppress Scott's loyal fans. Nearly 1,300 of them were arrested on the spot and sent to prison, while the rest fled with scars all over their bodies.
The city soon returned to calm. To be precise, it should become deserted. Apart from the military police patrolling back and forth, there was not a single pedestrian to be seen on the street.
The turmoil in Silicon Valley seems to have come to an end, but everyone knows that things cannot end so easily.
Because those speculators and busybodies will not give up easily. Especially those foreign applicants who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Silicon Valley, they will not be willing to leave Silicon Valley without getting anything. They just"lurked", secretly watching the development of the situation, and silently waiting for things to turn around.

In the secret research institute, Breslin, Professor Doudna, Reina and Anna, who had been secretly monitoring everything, became completely excited.
Breslin pointed to several large screens on the wall and said:"Ana, this artificial intelligence image recognition technology software you provided me is really useful. I set"green silk scarf on the arm" as the main feature , use this feature to identify those test applicants. By identifying and counting many camera images on the street and some drone aerial images, it is determined that as of 10 o'clock tonight, a total of 65,000 people have gathered in the entire Silicon Valley area. There are about 1,000 trial applicants."
Professor Doudna said happily:"The number of people exceeded our expectations. As a result, our probability of success is very high."
Breslin nodded and said:"Although those applicants are currently intimidated by The military's force does not dare to directly confront the army, and they are hiding for the time being. But I believe that those guys must be unwilling to accept it, and still hope to become a"new type of human being." So they should not give up so easily, and are still Waiting for our next instructions. As long as half of the people inside are willing to respond to us, things will be easy to handle. What's more, in addition to the more than 60,000 people now, it is estimated that more fanatics will arrive tomorrow. The number of people will continue to increase by then."
Professor Doudna said:"Then, can we take the next step?"
Breslin said:"Yes." He turned to Anna and said:"Ana, we We have to hack into the FBI's internal database before tomorrow morning and obtain the relevant file information. Are you sure?"
Anna said:"With the help of you, a former FBI technical department official, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Breslin turned to Lena and said:"After we get the file information, the rest will be left to you."
Lena shrugged and said,"I will try my best, I will find a way to make those guys make trouble." Get up."
At seven o'clock the next morning, the curfew ended, and people in Silicon Valley resumed their freedom to go out. Pedestrians and vehicles began to appear on the street again.
However, the soldiers and police still did not evacuate. They were still patrolling back and forth in all corners of the city in full force without daring to relax at all.
In such a tense atmosphere, the people were also trembling with fear. They were all in a hurry, keeping a low profile and busy with their own affairs. They did not want to have any contact with the military and police to avoid getting into trouble.
Then, at eight o'clock in the morning, without any warning, a new wave of"evolved" computer viruses suddenly struck again and spread rapidly around the world again.
And just like last time, this time the"evolved" computer virus also contains a video file recorded by Reina.
However, what is different from the previous video is that in this latest video, Galen does not appear again, but only Reina appears alone.
Reina obviously dressed up deliberately this time, making her already delicate and beautiful look even more attractive.
She looked serious and said with a little excitement in her voice:"I am very grateful to so many supporters of Mr. Scott, who actively support us all over the world, and actively come to Silicon Valley to participate in our clinical trial application. Your trust and Support is very important to us. Mr. Scott, the believers of the"Cosmic Religion" and the new world in the future will never forget what you have done today.
Especially those who risked many risks to come to Silicon Valley to apply for trials. Revolutionaries, you are true warriors, enterprising adventurers, and pioneers of the new era. Your deeds will be engraved in the history of the new world and will be praised by people in the new world from generation to generation. On behalf of Scotia Mr. Special, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you.

Although some applicants are forced to Although we temporarily removed the green silk scarf on our arms due to threats, we still have a way to identify them. In fact, we can clearly see every move of the applicants in Silicon Valley. We have been secretly observing every one of them. Behavior of applicants.
According to our recruitment plan, the number of volunteers is 10,000. But now the number of applicants has far exceeded our planned number. So, very unfortunately, we cannot give all applicants who come to Silicon Valley All applicants will have the opportunity to participate in this clinical trial. We then have to pass some special tests to screen the many applicants to find the 10,000 volunteers who best meet our expectations.
These tests will require applicants Applicants are required to complete a series of very difficult tasks, which requires applicants to have full determination and courage. Therefore, we ask all applicants to make a decision whether to accept these tasks after careful consideration. Of course, those who pass our test will ultimately Those who become test volunteers will receive extremely generous rewards. In addition to the opportunity to become the first"new type of human beings" with superpowers, each test volunteer will receive a reward from Mr. Scott. A huge remuneration. Moreover, Mr. Scott will also consider recruiting those volunteers who, despite their mediocre talents, have performed bravely, fearlessly and resolutely in these tests, into the"Universal Cult" and allow them to participate to the management of the"Human Evolution Project". They will have the same privileges in the new world as other"Cosmic Cult" believers. As I said before, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Apply for The test of the applicants will officially begin after the release of this video and will continue in the next few days. We will release the tasks that applicants need to complete from time to time. Applicants please pay more attention to the relevant prompts.
So, next, We are about to issue the first task to the applicants.
