Chapter 1379 Advantages and Disadvantages
After talking about the advantages of this incarceration technology, the senior officials of the country of hope present showed great interest. The director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons specifically asked how this plant prison could ensure absolute safety.
"Basically, as long as prisoners are in prison, they don't have to worry about internal problems. Even if someone sneaks into the prison area quietly, they will be affected by the hypnotic spores that permeate the prison area and fall asleep. Moreover, the prison tree will have an automatic defense mechanism like an insect-catching plant. Stretch out the vines to capture the intruders, drag them into the perfect dream and imprison them.”
Bredlow explained: "Unless there is a comprehensive large-scale invasion, the invader is a huge army, completely occupying the oasis base, and burning the entire prison tree on the surface before entering the prison area, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve Successfully escape from prison. Even if someone can withstand the automatic defense mechanism of the genetically modified tree and successfully sneak into the prison area to release the criminals, the prisoner who has just been rescued will be in a weak state with no resistance and cannot immediately join the prison riot, which greatly reduces Difficulty of defense.”
Prisoner riots often break out in the prison system of the DC universe, especially when super criminals escape from prison. They often like to release the entire prison's prisoners, use the criminal riots to fish in troubled waters, and even become the leaders of these escapees, directing them to Organized massacres of prison guards. Major prisons around the world, including Arkham Asylum, which is known as the most heavily guarded asylum, have suffered from it. Countless prison guards have died in prison riots.
Bredlow's "Infinite Tsukuyomi" prison has the effect of weakening the physical and mental strength of prisoners. Even if powerful super criminals make trouble and spend time releasing prisoners, they find that what is released is a group of soft-footed shrimps. These soft-footed shrimps Even if the shrimp inhales the clown's crazy poisonous gas, it will at most lie on the ground and twitch. It is impossible for the shrimp to act as a villain or help the villain.
This is undoubtedly an advantage that is very attractive to senior officials in the prison system of Hope.
"Therefore, to ensure absolute security, we only need to strengthen the external defense of the prison to avoid large-scale invasion. The prison is built in the center of the desert, and hundreds of kilometers around it are desert no-man's land. All we need to do is use surveillance satellites to strengthen surveillance. , which can ensure that even if a bird flies towards the prison or a camel approaches the prison, it will be warned in advance.”
Bredreau continued: "Compared with traditional prisons, the security of this new 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' plant prison can be said to have been improved to an epic level, even if there are all kinds of incredible powerful people in our world who want to escape from It is difficult to rob a prisoner from this prison!"
"So what about the cost of maintaining a plant prison?" an official from the Ministry of Finance asked enthusiastically: "Compared with traditional prisons, will it be higher?"
"Since the prison area has an automatic defense mechanism, there is no need for guards to patrol at all times. The prisoners serve their sentences in their sleep and dreams, and there is no need to perform many activities such as relaxing, eating, bathing, laundry, etc."
Bredlow explained with a smile: "Of course, it is also impossible to make the prisoners work to offset part of the expenses, but the expenses reduced are far higher than the income earned by the prisoners' inefficient labor. As for the maintenance of prison facilities, due to the The core subject is a tree, and the cost is at most pruning branches and leaves, fertilizing and spraying pesticides, and the maintenance cost is no higher than that of an ordinary wealthy family’s garden.”
After a pause, Bredlow said sincerely: "Because the maintenance cost is very low, I can offer such a low outsourcing fee to your government. While helping you save a lot of money, it can also ensure that I There is a profit to be made. In fact, it is completely okay for me to raise prices, but I am a patriotic capitalist with a conscience. I can help the country save money, so I make room for profit. This is my obligation as a citizen of the country of hope."
Bredlow's false identity is that of a wealthy second-generation Chinese descendant who was born in the Country of Hope. His nationality is of course the Country of Hope. His self-promotion is quite realistic.
After Amanda listened to the explanation of the recommended app, it was impossible not to be moved to be honest. If the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" prison is as perfect as Bredlow said, even if it is slightly discounted, it will be a terrible prison system for Hope Country, which has accidents every day. It's all a great thing.
She was almost tired of receiving phone calls suddenly in the middle of the night, saying that another super criminal had escaped from prison, which meant that she had to be busy again, carefully guarding against the escaped super criminal from doing any evil things that were harmful to the world.
If you want to completely prevent prison escapes, you must strictly implement the death penalty and kill every super criminal you catch. But damn, the judicial system of Hope Country is too cautious about the death penalty. It has become a routine to catch but not kill. But it is easy to catch criminals and lock them up safely. But it was difficult. Every time a super criminal successfully escaped from prison, the media would criticize the government and military for their incompetence, which greatly affected Amanda's public support. Several scandals almost ended her political life.
"Can you package this technology and sell it to us?" Amanda tried to ask: "The price is negotiable. After all, I still feel uneasy about outsourcing such an important work to a private organization and locating the prison overseas. .”
"No, no, no, I won't sell the goose that lays golden eggs!"
Bredlow shook his head like a rattle: "Are you sure you're not joking? I hope the Chinese government can package and buy the core technology patents and complete production lines of Qualcomm, Microsoft and Apple? Can it package and buy Boeing or Lockheed Martin?" Aircraft patents and a full production line?”
He reprimanded seriously: "Don't be joking, I am also a citizen of Hope. My company is a company registered in Hope. You cannot use national security as an excuse to plunder my sacred assets! Our country is a capitalist country, you Aren’t you afraid that I will sue you to the Federal Supreme Court for violating the Constitution by using this method of state forcible regulation of enterprises? You will be tortured to death by congressmen bribed by various capital groups at the hearing!"
Amanda shrank her neck, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously. Just pretend I never mentioned it."
This female high-ranking official is not afraid of anything. Even when faced with extraordinary people from all walks of life, she acts like an iron lady. She seems to be full of a fearless spirit that is not afraid of death. However, she is only afraid of offending the capitalist group and losing her official position.
Amanda is called a high-ranking official, but she is actually a public servant. Her power is given by the people, or to be precise, by the rich people who have the money to help her campaign. If she takes advantage of the power given to her by her real master and crosses the line to deprive the rich of their property, then the day will not be far when she packs up her things and goes back to the slums to become an ordinary black aunt, which will be more painful than killing her.
Amanda was very embarrassed by Bredlow's scolding, and her momentum weakened. In order to change the subject and regain the initiative in the negotiation, she asked sharply: "You have mentioned so many advantages, then, I want to know Will long-term sleep and dream state cause irreversible damage to the prisoner’s health?”
"Uh... Frankly speaking, it does..."
Bredreau paused, scratched his head and said: "If you are detained for a short period of time within ten years, you can cut off the vines at any time to forcefully interrupt the sleep. After a period of cultivation, the prisoner's health will not have any problems, but if the detention period is really If it is too long, more than thirty years, the prisoner will be lost in a perfect dream forever and gradually become a vegetative state that cannot be awakened."
Amanda's face sank and she said: "There is such a huge safety risk. Once the prisoner cannot be revived, the media will definitely exaggerate it and arouse public criticism, saying that we are violating human rights and cruelly abusing prisoners!"
