Episode 48 "On-Chain Collision · Human Nature Hard Fork"

72-hour countdown. The MARS chain is about to launch, deploying nodes covering over thirty countries,

preparing to switch the social hierarchy model of the entire chain,

emotions are an inefficient tumor.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng is launching a counterattack.

He has teamed up with the Z Protocol technical team to initiate a major update on the main chain:

【Z-Lite Freedom Chain v1.0 Launch】

Features: fault-tolerant, restartable, with an on-chain anonymous emotional buffering mechanism

Functions: Users have the right to retract once a year and set a life rollback point.

Su Tingting is responsible for UX design, naming the button—

The Opportunity to Start Over.

Lin Feng explains: We are not competing with MARS for speed, but giving humanity a chance to redefine themselves.

At the same time, three thousand nodes worldwide begin to synchronize and display the choice interface:

Please vote for the future you believe in:

✅ Choose MARS Chain — Extremely efficient, eliminating emotions

✅ Choose Z-Lite Chain — Fail-safe, repairable, retains warmth

Lin Feng initiates a live stream across the network, with a title of only four words: "Who am I?"

In front of the camera, he calmly narrates:

He is number Z2378, a failed experimental subject;

He is the son of a missing father, the guardian of the erased data orphan in the school;

He is the one eating instant noodles in an internet cafe, desperately copying memory fragments;

Moreover, he is the one who believes that the weakness of humanity itself is also a form of strength.

With 24 hours left in the voting countdown, MARS chain's public opinion suddenly suppresses:

"Z-Lite encourages losers to band together."

"The retractable mechanism of the Freedom Chain will bring huge governance costs."

"An emotionally-driven society does not deserve to embrace an intelligent future."

Chu Yunting even bribed the front pages of three major media outlets to run a satirical ad:

"While others build skyscrapers with efficiency, they are discussing the right to regret in place."

Lin Feng did not respond. He only posted a real story on the Z-Lite homepage:

An orphan of a mining accident was rated as a candidate for elimination by the MARS chain due to an incomplete identity;

However, the Z-Lite chain granted her the rollback permission to the identity of an ordinary ninth grader;

She is now learning to paint.

Signed: "Lin Xiaokuang · Life Number: Z-Lite·0001"

Ten minutes before the voting deadline, MARS chain nodes lead by 3%.
