At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Wei got scared from bed. She looked at the door in front of her doubtfully. Everything about last night was still vivid in her mind. Li Wei drank a lot of wine last night. The atmosphere last night was so pleasant.
After getting up, Li Wei lit a cigarette. The smoke was filling her head. She looked at herself in the mirror. Today they would go to Bright City for a week-long visit.
“I really don’t want to go.”
Li Wei scratched her head. She actually wanted to go back because she was afraid that if she went, she would not want to leave. The entire society in the United States is no longer normal.
No one wants to return to a factory society. Many officers were looking forward to it last night, as were many of the selected soldiers who accompanied them, including the Stekas.
Li Wei scratched her head. After she stood up, looking at her dark body, Li Wei sighed. Such prosthetic technology cannot help humans survive in space.
This is where Li Wei felt very helpless after learning about it. Last night, the section chief of the 10th Department of Bright City talked about this kind of prosthetic technology. If placed in space, it would even damage the brain for a long time.
Bright City has already conducted research in this area, simulating the space environment, but after the experiment, many problems still cannot be solved, and the real space environment will be even more cruel.
Li Wei put on her clothes and went out. Soon everyone gathered on a small exploration ship, Alpha said.
"Everyone, thank you for accepting our invitation. In the next seven days, I will be responsible for taking you to visit most places in our city. You will make arrangements for your food, accommodation, and transportation."
Weitai stretched out his hand to shake hands with Alpha, and then the officers of the United States launched the exploration ship.
"Right now, there are not more than 4 million people living outside. The areas surrounding the city are not yet finished building new districts. We have to wait until construction begins before we can retreat to living outside the city."
At this moment, many people showed happy smiles, and we thought we could meet people from other countries.
Although Li Wei had read Bright City's information about the barrier area early in the morning, the information only explained the formation of the barrier area and a brief summary of the situation.
"There's a problem."
"It's bad for us to live outside District 1 for the time being."
Along with the excited cheers, many people danced happily, Alpha's face was solemn.
“It’s usually difficult to live in that kind of place in the future, because the distance to where you get your monthly food and water is more than 800 kilometers away, and in such an environment, it’s very difficult to go wrong and you’ll have to take a detour.
, only those who have not fully adapted to the barrier zone would live in such a remote place."
No one started talking or laughing. Li Wei looked at the people living outside the dilapidated houses in astonishment. Many of the houses were simply renovated based on the ruins. The scene behind her eyes looked like a real doomsday.
A while ago, Li Wei saw two lights on a mountain range, Alpha said.
"Take them to the smallest gathering place to see."
Li Wei looked at the parts of the broken house that were spliced ​​together with many discarded materials. They rarely broke with a heavy touch. In such a good environment, there were so few people living there.
"Director Alpha, can I show you the barrier area?"
Niya nodded and said beforehand.
Many officers looked at the height and thickness of the city wall in astonishment, as well as these plant-like plants that were vaguely visible in the white darkness.
Niya scratched her head and said.
Alpha nodded.
There are very few things that Alpha sees very vaguely now. A small minority of people need to pay for the decisions of a very large number of people. They must be sure that the decisions are accurate. The small minority of people who pay in this way will suffer endless suffering in the future.
However, it is a pity that the planet is now in crisis. It is obviously the worst era, but in such an era, it encounters a huge existential crisis.
Li Wei said, and many officers nodded. Alpha just smiled helplessly, and the other section chiefs told some things to the officers.
In name, it was an acting, but many senior staff members were vague. It was not an exercise, because several negotiations with Asgard failed to reach an agreement, and now there are problems with business with Asgard.
"There are not many people who have the means to retreat to Brilliant City yet. We are temporarily settling outside. There will be no supplies for a few days. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
"That's one of your military supplies. The protein content is very low and it's almost all meat."
The operations department has not yet made adequate preparations. As long as once the enemy opens fire, a thorough annihilation operation will be carried out so that the enemy will not have any chance to take advantage of it.
That kind of problem caused the relationship between the two countries to deteriorate rapidly. Of course Alpha knew that it was because of the life-span vaccine.
"Maybe, it may be up to you to make decisions in the future, but now you just want to solve the problems behind your eyes and let the city bathe in sunshine."
"Because if machines replace humans, humans will lose a small part of their jobs. In the end, everyone will compete with each other for downstream jobs, which will only lead to disputes and various problems."
Such casualties are meaningless and will cast a shadow over the now prosperous Brilliant City. Very few people in the Executive Department who are taking a break have not yet received orders to return to the Executive Department to prepare for war at any time.
"Why can't he make decisions at will?"
"It's clear that machines can replace very few people, so why don't they have such a small labor force outside?"
Many officers nodded, and the exploration ship quickly crossed the mountains, and then landed quickly towards a gathering place that looked like a big town. Li Wei saw many people surrounding it.
Li Wei briefly understood something. The current Bright City wants to start a war, because we have just gained a new life from suffering, so we are so restrained.
Niya asked and Alpha said.
"You just want to see how humans survive in such a cruel environment."
At this time, with a slight shaking, the detection ship came to a stop. The low city wall had not been seen yet. Li Wei stared at the city wall, and then the detection ship quickly moved closer to the city wall.
The future will be even better and worse, but unfortunately, a small disaster that can destroy everything is about to occur on that planet.
"Do you have those things outside your country?"
Li Wei said, Noah slowly explained to the officers of the United States. There were more than 300 officers and soldiers who came that time.
In Li Wei's impression, her childhood environment was exciting enough, but when she talked about the barrier zone last night, many officers were shocked and many could not believe it. How could these people not be able to survive in the dark and bright light?
Survive in this place.
The detection ship quickly crossed the barrier, and Li Wei saw the light nearby, and the ground above was covered with a small amount of dust tens of meters high, and the dust was still sliding down in some places.
For a moment, many officers were shocked, because few of the people who came around were old people, men, and children. However, they clearly felt that we were in a good mood, because those who came over did not have bitterness on their faces, but were filled with smiles.
smile.
Soon the gathering place where hundreds of people lived came to an end. Wei Tai laughed helplessly, and Niya asked someone to leave some food, which came from the United States.
After the exploration ship ended, it slowed down a bit. Li Wei looked at everything above with an intense mood. Sure enough, after seeing it in person, he realized that his idea was correct.
Li Wei smiled and nodded.
Niya took a sausage and started chewing it. You nodded and showed your little finger.
"It's really unbelievable."
Alpha will not start to make decisions step by step until it gets feedback from the public, and then announces them through discussions. Now the company is on the right path.
Seeing Alpha's serious expression, Li Wei smiled.
For a powerful exploration ship, a distance of more than 300 kilometers only takes about ten minutes.
As soon as it was over, the gods also planned to let the acting department train troops, but the department heads refused. Alpha was not ready to break down yet. The 3rd department would be dispatched at any time. A small amount of weapons had not been allocated to the guard station. As soon as the enemy appeared,
We will immediately retreat and attack.
At this time, Alpha walked up to an officer and finished telling me the direction and distance.
“I’m really looking forward to it.”
Li Wei nodded. You really want to continue to see. There is nothing under that land, and there is nothing that makes you feel uninterested. Once outside the United States, Li Wei felt that everything was so interesting, but when you come there,
Before, Li Wei seemed to have found something she had never seen before.
"The smell is quite weak now, but it will be more pungent in the future."
Some officers also wanted to try that kind of medical technology. Soon Li Wei walked into the gathering point of humans, and Alpha introduced it.
Li Wei felt it as soon as it was over. If we relied on the terrain map Asgard gave us, we would be blind if we retreated. Fighting in such a dark place requires detailed map information.
As well as on-the-spot combat capabilities, plus the issue of adaptability.
There were bouts of coughing. Some officers were not wearing protective clothing. Few people felt comfortable. The oxygen in the air outside was not that thin, and the most important thing was that you could always smell some in the air.
Pungent smell.
An officer laughed.
Today is a harvest celebration in the city, because several experimental bases in the barrier area have achieved a good harvest, and the land has come to life. Such a thing worth worrying about is unbelievable to everyone, and it is a small gift from heaven.
Li Wei muttered, and Alpha smiled.
"It's broken if you live in Section 5 far away. You can take us around to look around."
Li Wei asked, and Alpha smiled helplessly.
Li Wei was surprised that Bright City was so developed, why it needed so few laborers.
To be continued...
