I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 361 - 360: The "Twilight City" Plan Begins!
The new year is approaching.
But there are some special changes among Americans online.
The pandemic has indeed been unveiled, and many people already know about it.
But, the real situation is still shrouded in mystery.
When someone tries to post some pandemic-related news online, it seems like problems arise.
For example, there might be posts getting deleted.
Of course, this is also hard to verify, after all, it’s the people who posted and whose posts were deleted saying it themselves.
So there’s no real evidence.
But whenever someone says this, actually... it’s almost certainly true.
Everyone is pretty aware of this.
Thankfully, a new trend has emerged on the American internet.
YouToob launched earlier this year.
And, as soon as it launched, it received a lot of attention.
However, because it’s a new type of website, the traffic itself isn’t particularly high yet.
It’s just starting out, many people still don’t know about it or how to use it.
Moreover, some things about the site aren’t quite clear yet.
Like how to incentivize video posting, among other things.
Interestingly, some Americans found this website to be pretty good.
Posting pandemic-related content, and this website doesn’t delete it.
But in this day and age, creating short videos is still not a novel thing.
Of course, we humans with filming and whatnot, photos, movies, etc.
That has a long history.
But these things used to have very high barriers to entry.
Like cameras, we’re not even talking about those for filming movies, just simple cameras, right.
A bit more professional ones start at tens of thousands of US Dollars.
This is quite a big barrier.
And it’s all about the money.
Luckily, now technology has advanced, and digital cameras have emerged.
Although many people complain that this thing takes very poor photos, the pixels and all that are nonsense.
True, with traditional cameras, the pixels are real, but with digital cameras, they’re calculated, fake.
Roughly speaking, traditional cameras with 480 pixels, at the very least, are equivalent to digital ones with a million pixels.
Of course, the details might not exactly be like this, but it’s roughly similar.
Many people definitely don’t know these things, when they hear digital cameras have millions of pixels.
Wow, buy them!
Then they get home and take photos, only to find something’s not right.
But it’s no big deal.
Because digital is indeed a direction, and the biggest advantage is being able to directly connect to computers and the internet.
Actually, old film could be converted to digital, but that required some technical means.
It was difficult for ordinary people to manage.
And now with the advent of digital cameras, this actually led to a result.
Yes, networks like YouToob can be seen as products spawned by digital cameras.
Such a website is still in its nascent stages.
Even handling pandemic-related content isn’t great yet.
As a result, many American netizens started recording their own illness experiences on this website.
In fact, the United States government has done one thing in response to this pandemic.
That is, they set up a green channel.
Of course, green channel is just a concept, some hospitals might not call it that, but as long as one understands it’s such a channel, that’s fine.
But to say this green channel was useless is not correct either.
It indeed had an effect, at least allowing some patients to receive quick treatment.
Moreover, hospitals truly carried out epidemic prevention work.
After all, they need to keep their own area clean and sanitary.
Otherwise, wouldn’t their hospitals be doomed.
But, the effect was not very significant.
So far, no special medicine or vaccine has been developed.
Simply put, the old methods are still being used, and many people endured through it.
But there was at least some effect.
Additionally, in terms of transmission capability and lethality.
This pandemic wasn’t particularly exceptional.
So, it might just be the United States still has some fortune.
Before 2006 arrives, this swine flu pandemic is considered over.
It’s at least not as severe as it used to be.
However, on the network YouToob, many Americans are indeed complaining about this pandemic.
Cursing those in the White House are bastards, quite a few are doing that too.
And right now, none of that has been deleted.
Many people still think that YouToob is a conscientious website.
Actually, the truth is... it’s simple, really, it’s just that the new site hasn’t been soaked in oil yet.
Simply put, it means there’s not enough slickness.
Many internet companies in the United States are like this.
Like the once very famous Yahoo started by a Chinese-American.
Once acquired by Wall Street capital, Yahoo just outright collapsed.
From an IT company, it turned into a financial investment company.
Now the hottest thing online is Google.
Google is truly booming right now.
But now, with the advent of YouToob.
Many predict this might be the next big trend on the internet.
It seems some people have finally noticed an important point.
That is, American internet might be on the rise again!
About this ’point’, some might think, isn’t this nonsense?
Isn’t American internet the best?
Saying that is not wrong, but in reality, the United States has suffered greatly in the internet sector!
It was in the year 2000.
At that time, Wall Street’s internet stocks all crashed.
Probably, many friends can’t comprehend what crashing means.
To put it simply: if a stock drops 99% in a day, it’s not surprising. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Alright, maybe 99% is an exaggeration, but examples of entire fortunes evaporating in a day were numerous back then.
Didn’t Hong Kong even film a TV series reflecting on these issues from that time, like "Genesis"?
Back then, American internet stocks crashed so hard, with profound impacts.
Not only on America, but huge impacts on Asia, like Japan, our own Hong Kong region, Taiwan Province, etc.
Because the internet and IT industries are closely related to these areas.
So, they’ve indeed suffered greatly.
And now?
It seems many people have forgotten about their losses and are starting to walk the same old path again!
But, just as 2006 is about to begin.
American netizens on YouToob suddenly come across a strange video.
"Everyone, if I want to tell you a story about a Vampire, would you like to hear it?"
A Vampire story?
This certainly has a market in America, but the key is who’s telling the story.
Who is it?
Zhou Mo Sen!
That’s right, it’s him.
But the crux is, Zhou Mo Sen is a doctor.
Why are you telling stories?
And a Vampire story?
But as soon as one hears this story.
Many American netizens get completely absorbed.
Because this story is "Twilight City"!
Yes, once this video was released, it marked the beginning of Zhou Mo Sen and Anne Hathaway’s "Twilight City" project.
However, at that time, no one knew that Anne Hathaway and Zhou Mo Sen were the authors of this novel.
They kept it a secret back then.
But how did this video get promoted on YouToob?
It’s simple, Zhou Mo Sen went straight to the source.
You just launched YouToob.
So if I invest ten million US Dollars, can I buy some original shares?
Yes, right now, barely anyone knows.
Zhou Mo Sen is one of the small bosses of YouToob!
