July 1, 2215
Entering July, many areas in the middle and lower levels were baptized by heavy rains. This was the largest heavy rain in several years. Congress did not announce the specific reasons. Fortunately, the overall terrain of Brilliant City is built on a huge mountain range.
, the rainwater has flowed into the gully in just a few days.
Now standing on some high-rise buildings in the middle, you can already see a dark ravine forming in the east, north, and south.
There was a rumble, and trucks were passing through the streets. Many people were wearing masks. There was a pungent smell everywhere in the city. A large amount of construction materials had been transported to various parts of the city a few days ago.
Trucks coming out of the factory areas in the west are transporting supplies day and night.
The material delivery lines that have been planned before are unimpeded, and most vehicles will not even be allowed to enter these roads at certain times. Congress has passed a serious warning in traffic laws. All vehicles are strictly prohibited from dismantling AI systems without permission. In urban AI systems
Under the command of the police, many vehicles are unable to enter these transportation routes.
The factories in the west, from the middle to the lower floors, are already in full operation. This is why the pungent metallic smell can always be smelled in the air in the city. The sky in the west seems to be shrouded in dark clouds all day long.
Pollution has inevitably begun. There have been several heavy rains during this period. Someone has tested the components of the rainwater and found that the pollution has been very serious. Except for some workers, most people can only stay away from the west.
Congress is giving some televised speeches every day, telling residents not to worry. This is only temporary. A detailed treatment plan for factory pollutants has been developed. Now some important construction materials must be moved to the corresponding areas.
put.
Starting from November this year, the factory will completely shut down, and the construction of underground projects will begin directly. The construction will be completed within three months at most. In this way, the waste from the factory will not be discharged, but will flow directly through underground pipes to
Go into the ravine.
But what many people complain about is that the originally relatively stable climate has become completely chaotic since March this year. Many people find that although the sun is visible in the morning, it is not hot at all.
You can feel the warmth only at 11 o'clock at noon. On the contrary, it is the grain base in the east. According to some people working in the grain base, the grain base will be very hot starting in the morning.
Some people immediately realized that it was Congress that controlled the sun's radiation area and radiation quality. Finally, amidst the huge public voice, Congress also admitted this, in order to increase food production.
Nowadays, 80% of the tens of thousands square kilometers of land in the eastern grain base has been reclaimed, and prisoners in prisons have almost become the main labor force, working on the farms day and night.
In some remote agricultural bases, crops have even rotted in the fields. In order to alleviate the serious shortage of labor force, Congress can only allow some industrial companies to use Mimic X to produce most of the harvesting machinery.
There are now a large number of job advertisements in the city on the Internet and on some advertising screens on the roadside.
Some factories have even raised workers' wages to 20 yuan per hour. Such conditions are too tempting, but there is still a serious labor shortage.
All walks of life have ushered in the largest growth and explosion in history. Due to construction, consumption has begun to grow like crazy. Most goods are in short supply. Some merchants have begun to take the opportunity to increase prices. This is not a price increase on goods, but a priority on services.
Increase in costs.
On the streets and alleys, there are people wearing workers' safety helmets and holding measuring equipment everywhere, conducting inspections everywhere. A kind of light and shadow geological inspection machine can detect the density of rock formation structures within a certain range of hundreds of meters underground.
Along with the appearance of these workers, barrel-shaped robots would float across the sky from time to time. Their nearly one-meter-long bodies had a white halo in the middle.
The construction project was carried out from the bottom up. Today, only the upper level has not been affected. Most of the streets on the upper level are still as bustling as ever, and there is not much change from the past.
The only change is that the rocks around the white building located in the easternmost area of ​​Area 1 on the west side of the upper floor have been cleared out, and a huge white fan-shaped square has been built.
Most workers are waiting for their wages to be settled, and many can't wait to rush to the factory areas in the west because they have heard that workers' wages there have skyrocketed.
A giant white 7-story building covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters has been completed. In the middle is a smooth hall with a glass wall structure from bottom to top. On both sides are a large number of rooms with different patterns and structures.
.
Many people are discussing that this will be the new office location of the Congress, but behind this building, an 800-meter-long staircase has been built on both sides that extends to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is still white.
The desolate land is like a sea of ​​sand.
Locke stood quietly in the white hall, looking at the workers who were packing their luggage. Groups of workers had been working here for many years. The General Affairs Department was officially built.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's good to go back and rest for a few more days. There's no need to rush to work in the west."
"Master Luo, you don't know that wages in the west are very high now. We are going to go to a factory today and we can start work right away."
Looking at the smiling workers with weather-beaten faces, Locke looked around helplessly and reminded some workers to take a rest.
At this time, a lift landed on the white square, and the section chiefs, secretaries, and some directors from the 11 departments came over. Hawke had already bear the brunt of running over.
"It's finally built."
Hawke looked at the smooth and elegant hall. At the bottom was the kitchen. This was Locke's request. The canteen was built directly here so that the staff who came to work could fill their stomachs as soon as possible, whether it was breakfast or lunch.
"Let's go!"
Locke nodded and looked at the section chiefs and secretaries of 11 departments, including some council officers, who came over. Nearly 300 people came over.
Today is also an important moment in the city. Most of the students received orders from the gods early this morning to spread the dark film. People from Section 10 are already waiting above. Everyone will go up to help later.
"Fat brother, congratulations!"
Alpha said with a smile as soon as he came over. Many people were congratulating Locke, but unfortunately he was not happy at all.
"Let's go!"
Locke said, leading a group of people up the stairs on the right. Many people were discussing some things, most of them work-related issues. Locke glanced sideways and sighed helplessly.
"I asked you guys, can you relax a little bit?"
But soon Locke could only shake his head helplessly. Now all 12 departments are busy because they need to plan their own department's facilities throughout the city.
Section 1, Section 5, Section 7, Section 8. In addition to the district where the headquarters is located, there will be a management office in each of the 119 districts in the city. Section 8 is the Department of Law. Among them, the area of ​​the management office of Section 5 is the largest. Before
Niya came to the General Affairs Department to find him. Locke heard from Niya that Alpha basically only slept 4 hours a day, and would discuss the planning issues of the management office with Jill and other directors.
Section 5 is an extremely important public security management section. Each management office in the district must be set up at a point that can be reached as quickly as possible in the area. Each management office also needs to be equipped with at least 5 small lifts and 2 large lifts.
Lifts and landings, weapons and equipment for the officers, 24-hour patrol routes, personnel arrangements, etc.
Section 2 only has a headquarters in the eastern part of the upper level, and R has already chosen a place. The headquarters of Section 3 and Section 5 are in two adjacent districts in the northwest, 5 kilometers apart. Section 3 is mainly stationed in four guard stations.
In addition to the headquarters, Section 4 and Section 6 will select an area in four locations: southeast, northwest, and four branches. Section 9 has already selected a place in a middle-level area as its headquarters.
Section 10 has the northern and western areas that have been vacated by the upper levels as its headquarters, while Section 12 needs to establish a management office in each food education station to control the issue of food delivery.
Section 11 currently has a plan to build a new prison. Because of technology such as rock coagulant, a higher-rise prison can be built. Latis has already made a plan.
Locke looked at the extending stairs at his feet, and he knew very well that the coming era would be a busier one.
When the bill starts next year, medical subsidies in the region will be cancelled. Now, because of medical subsidies and medical expenses, which have been greatly reduced, medical treatment for many illnesses is almost free.
"I will definitely be scolded next year!"
Locke muttered, and Hawke came over and put his arm around Locke's shoulders.
"As time goes by, you will get used to being fat."
Locke smiled helplessly and looked at Hawke next to him. This was not a problem that he got used to over time. Recently, he was a little worried because many people in the city were criticizing him. The voices dissatisfied with some of the actions of Congress would eventually turn into
Criticize your own voice.
But this is not the reason why Locke is distressed.
"woman!"
Hawke said with a smile, his voice was a little loud, and many people behind him heard it.
"I said, Fat Brother, Wanrou is so good, why do you want to..."
Just as Vivian was about to say something, she was grabbed by Li Xin next to her. Li Xin winked at her, and many people stopped. Locke became embarrassed, and he could only smile helplessly.
At this time, with a flash of light appearing at the top of the mountain, Locke reached the end. Just when he was about to step up the stairs, Yu Wanrou appeared at the end of the steps with her hands on her hips.
Locke was panicked and said with a smile.
"Wanrou..."
"Damn fat man, can you explain this clearly? What kind of man do you think you are?"
For a while, many people who came up behind him walked to both sides knowingly, and Hawke patted Locke on the shoulder.
At this time, the environmental simulation system at the top had been shut down, and a large wasteland was exposed, where people from Section 10 were already waiting.
Everyone began to get busy in their respective positions. They entered through an underground entrance in the middle and carried out long cylindrical machines one by one. These machines were all filled with film. Today will be a very busy day.
In the middle, on a large metal platform that is nearly 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, people from 10 departments are sitting in front of light and shadow screens, talking to the section chiefs, secretaries, and directors who have come to help.
Place it in a fixed location, and the specific launch parameters need to be optimally adjusted before launch based on today's wind speed, air temperature, humidity, etc.
Yu Wanrou sat quietly next to Locke Jiahui. The two of them were sitting on the stairs. Behind them, a bunch of classmates were busy. Only half of them came, and the others were still dealing with some things.
Yu Wanrou looked down at the city under the sun with her hand on her chin. Locke's expression softened a little. He was silent, his mouth slightly opened from time to time, but for a while he couldn't say anything and didn't know what to say.
Next to her, Yu Wanrou is no longer the skinny little girl she used to be. She has grown up and is as graceful as a hibiscus. She has a gentle and quiet personality.
