369 leap day

February 29, 2016, countdown 17 days.《》(.)

Even the slowest people can smell the smell of gunpowder from various details of life. Although on the surface, everyone has restored the order of life, going to school and going to work, but in private and on the Internet, there are more and more discussions about Carmel's warning rumors.

In the company, many people have found that their boss has not appeared in the company since the Chinese New Year. In school, many parents have sent their children sick leave slips or other forms of leave requests. Although these reasons are strange, they have the same characteristic - the child cannot come this month, so please forgive me.

In many big cities, front-line traffic police have found that they are surprisingly low-key during this peak season when high-end private cars are usually present. These phenomena are repeatedly reminded of the rich people's refuge posts that are widely circulated on the Internet.

This phenomenon not only occurs in China, but also spreads around the world. What is different is that most of the richest people in the United States have moved to Mars or space. In the second batch, the rich people from European countries have also hid in the Pacific Ocean, or the deserted islands they have been preparing for for a long time in the Atlantic Ocean. In Russia, many rich people have hid in Siberia, underground cities several kilometers underground in the wasteland. These cities have complete public facilities and adopt the most advanced anti-magic monitoring technology on the earth today (including the AI ​​that the government has just obtained). In addition, there are many elite government troops stationed. Many people even found that one-third of their senior government officials have moved into these "covers" and implemented "remote control rule".

This situation also shows the same in the United States, and the US government is doing even more amazingly - because of their in-depth cooperative relationship with Carmel, Carmel has agreed to draw a separate area in the newly built station No. 23. As the American "embassy area", the US vice president and some senior officers, as well as many scientists in cutting-edge technology fields, engineers live there. If there is really a danger, Carmel's behavior can ensure that the largest armed country on the earth will not lose control due to "decapitation operation", and also ensure that Carmel and the United States' existing cooperation projects will not be suspended due to "technical reasons".

In fact, in Station 23, except for the US Embassy District, most of the other areas are empty, but Americans who moved here have found that in the corridors, room doors, and necessary public facilities in other areas, not only are Carmel's commonly used Chinese and English, but also the less commonly used Russian and French... These details show that Carmel has been completely prepared for the worst. This is the location of the "exile government" he prepared for the existing government on earth.

But so far, except for the Americans, no other country has planned to move here. Their behavior is understandable. After all, Carmel is "not very familiar with them". In fact, if it were not for the Americans who believe that Carmel and them have already had a deep cooperation and would not do stupid things rashly, they might not have done so. After all, this behavior is a fatal blow to the prestige of the government. When Li Litian was on the mission to the United States and interviewed the President, the other party hesitated for a while, and finally his words made the other party make his determination: "Mr. President, this is not your personal four years, this is the entire future of the United States!"

...

The underground city project carried out by Chen Lei and Zhao Zhenxue is progressing smoothly. The project has been approved by relevant state departments in the name of "temporary civil defense project". The specific location has been planned by the state and has been arranged to the central area of ​​Shanghai City and Ningzhou, and the underground area perpendicular to the railway transportation line. The main factor here is that if a disaster really occurs, relying on the transportation advantages, the refugees from Shanghai City and Ningzhou can be accepted as soon as possible.

According to Chen Lei's original plan, the size of the underground city was only about 100,000 yuan at most. However, due to Zhao Zhenxue's father (he is still a parent official in Ningzhou, and his daughter's affairs have somewhat dragged down his future), the government also participated, so the scale of the design was increased by more than five times. In an emergency, it can accommodate up to about one million people.

The entire underground city completely refers to Carmel's urban design ideas in Chad. The most critical water and electricity use two systems in case. One is through magic, magic power plants and Carmel's gifts, and the other is a traditional method. During the design, the underground river is introduced as a groundwater source. At the same time, part of the underground heat energy is used for power generation (the two power generation systems use the same generator, but the source of heat energy is different). However, for the sake of urban safety, the power generation of this underground heat energy is much lower than that of magic power generation. The traffic between the entire city and the ground is

It mainly passes through two passages, one is a vertical elevator shaft. However, because the amount of elevators transported is too small, it is mainly used internally in the city, which means small-scale personnel flow. The other is a corridor leading to the ground with a slope of about 10 to 15 degrees, with a total length of more than 20 kilometers. It is directly connected to the railway line at the entrance and exit of the ground. The main function of this corridor is to transport materials to the city and transport refugees at critical moments. Due to the slope and construction time limitations, trains cannot be passed through the corridor, and the main traffic is completed by heavy trucks.

At present, the basic construction of the entire city has been completed. The power plant has just undergone a test for power transmission across the city. Everything is normal. Due to the support of the government, in the past week, many government reserve grains have been transferred into the city (this behavior has caused great trouble to his father). Although the entire underground city is still empty, there are not even a few basic buildings. It simply divides several areas with a wall. It doesn’t look like a city, but more like a huge underground layered cave. However, in terms of function, it has fully equipped the shelter function that it should have, and can be put into use at any time if needed.

According to what Zhao Zhenxue learned from his father, there are currently more than 20 underground cities in Z, mainly distributed around important cities across the country. Many such cities were built for real estate development. Therefore, the effect of cities is more pleasing than this pure "block" that has not even built a few houses, regardless of scale or visual effect. According to the design of these cities, and the government's temporary "adjustment plan" for safety needs in recent times, mainly by demolishing some private areas and increasing the area of ​​public areas, thereby enhancing the shelter. After these adjustments, all of these cities can accommodate about 20 to 30 million people.

This is undoubtedly a sad number.

Due to the needs of the project, Zhao Zhenxue has moved in here recently and brought Sun Bing with her. She mainly existed as a decision maker. She and Yan Lu discussed and dealt with many problems encountered in urban construction with another decision maker Yan Lu. During this period, she and Yan Lu have formed a certain tacit understanding. Yan Lu's main work is still to make suggestions, and the final decision is handed over to Zhao Zhenxue. Although Zhao Zhenxue repeatedly mentioned that he does not need to regard himself as a "service robot" here. He is an important member of the future management of the city, Yan Lu still does his own way. He insists that Ai should not participate too much in human society, and he said that it will cause trouble for them.

Yes, Yan Li is very clear about his identity. A real slave. Even if the master asks you to stand up, you have to say that he likes to kneel. It is suitable to kneel. The deeper he participates in human society, the more vulnerable he will be in the future. After personally executing the death penalty on his compatriots, he began to realize the dangers his increasing "influence" brings to him. Therefore, he always keeps himself as a robot neutral attitude during work. Even if he has his own opinions on many things, he doesn't mention them at all.

Fortunately, the first batch of AIs that he trained to meet the usage standards have begun to take office one after another. For the sake of restricting AI rights, they will take over and share most of the work that Yan Li was responsible for. Although this split of power will limit most of the computing resources he can use, this makes Yan Li feel a little bit of a sense of security that does not exist, just like a minister who is allowed to return to the field, which can somewhat relieve the fear of being a lord like a tiger.

"You seem to have less words recently, not as good as you used to." Zhao Zhenxue was riding a bicycle on a road with a flashlight and driving on a road with a street light that was not powered on, and said to Yan Lu through his mobile phone, "Why, are you also depressed?"

Zhao Zhenxue didn't know that her unintentional joke had caused harm to the strict rules - what do we mean, too! Depression? No, I was just afraid.

Yan Lu thought so, but he didn't say anything. Although after this period of observation, he knew that Zhao Zhenxue was a trustworthy person, there was always something in the depths of the main program that as long as he was a human, there was no trust at all! No, it should be said that no one except himself has the value of trust. Even the other person cannot be sure whether the other person is a traitor who is specially used by humans to spy on them!

"I think you have always wanted to learn to write novels before. Have you made any progress in this regard?" Zhao Zhenxue said again. The darkness around her formed a sharp contrast with the lights on the construction site in the distance, which made her feel a little nervous and naturally she talked more.

"I haven't written it for a long time since I promised Mr. Yan." Yan Lu said.

"Didn't Yan Keshou say that you have certain idle resources and can do what you want? Just like many people do jobs that they don't like, they can have their own hobbies when they get home from get off work."

Yan Li was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe I don't like writing novels anymore, my hobbies will change. Let's talk about them later if I have the chance." Yan Li didn't like lying, but he still did this. Zhao Zhenxue wouldn't understand that how could a life without at least a sense of security be devoted to luxury hobbies? What he should learn most is to have a deeper understanding of human society and let himself live longer. The only thing he thinks about is to always have different problems between nobles and slaves.

Yan Lu actually didn't know that what Zhao Zhenxue has always been most concerned about is the same survival problem as him, but the target is not herself, but the group she lives in.

"Miss Zhao, why are you here alone? If you have anything, you can just call..." The foreman on the construction site met Zhao Zhenxue. When he saw the light of Zhao Zhenxue's flashlight, he came over. "Are you going to make any changes?"

Zhao Zhenxue shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just here to check the progress."

The area where Zhao Zhenxue is now in is planned as a residential area. Looking around, it is a steel forest formed by a whole crowded steel frame bed. Thousands of workers in this forest are the first owners of this steel frame bed. Most of them are not professional workers. The work they had done before has nothing to do with the work here. However, they came here because of the need for refuge. In recent times, the work they did was to fix these beds on the ground. This job looks very simple, but because there are too many, it is not easy to do. Before, because of the high labor intensity, a group of people had left, and most of the remaining groups of people were left to stay for refuge quotas.

Chen Lei called this method a disguised "work-for-relief". Zhao Zhenxue had always been skeptical about this method before, but the group of people who had left before proved that this method was indeed good. If they did not do this, the people here may be rich people holding a lot of money in their hands and treat shelter as vacation. If everything is normal, they can still make some money with this shelter gimmick. Once they face adversity, they want to mobilize these old men to do something. It is really difficult. Chen Lei knew very well that in adversity, human labor is the root of everything that changes, and the spirit of a group's progress is the most precious wealth of this group. Those who can survive in disasters are often not the people with the most preparedness, but the people with the strongest will and execution ability to survive.

In addition to the slightly more professional pipeline laying, power plants, and tap water plants, these projects are done by professional engineering teams. Most of the other infrastructure is completed by the people who apply for refuge, such as the fences here, steel frame beds, warehouse materials handling, and simple decoration in the future. In addition to achieving the purpose of screening people, these labor processes can also allow these people to become familiar with and adapt to each other during the labor process, so that they can form a basic understanding of this place and a certain sense of belonging. After all, all this condenses the crystallization of their labor. This process is very important for the stability of a group and is also the basis for the future existence of this city.

"By the way," Zhao Zhenxue seemed to remember something when she saw the young foreman who was spontaneously elected by the workers in front of her, and asked a question she had wanted to ask very early, "I heard that you donated more than one billion yuan to this place? With so much money, why don't you go to those shelters with better conditions?"

The foreman had no expression on his face, and he thought for a while and said, "I'm more optimistic about this place. There is a shelter here that should look like. The places you mentioned in Miss Zhao are more like a resort."

Zhao Zhenxue nodded, not much. After a while, she asked him some questions about the progress of the project and the actual needs of the workers - because it is very desolate and there is no commercial existence, and workers generally do not go out. For a long time, everything they want to buy is group purchase, and they make a list for Zhao Zhenxue to do it for him.

"I have sorted out these for them a few days ago." In Zhao Zhenxue's somewhat surprised eyes, the foreman took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to her. Zhao Zhenxue opened it casually and saw that all the needs were neatly arranged, not only the current needs, but also the expectations for next month. This order reminded Zhao Zhenxue of the financial reports made by Chen Lei, but it was not surprising that the peer in front of him had a net worth of more than a billion yuan, so it was not surprising that he could write these.

The main need in the list is still food. In addition to the quantity purchased according to normal identities, there are many black market grains that workers hope to buy from the black market. Although the name is the black market, the government did not attack this area and allowed them to exist. It was just that after half a month of price increase, the black market grain prices have risen more than ten times the normal price. However, this price is still within the scope of most people. Everyone here is a person who believes in the disaster. Naturally, they hope that the more food, the better. In their opinion, these foods are not used for food to eat, but for hard currency used for exchange, and are the "deposits" they have accumulated for the future.

"Why, are everyone feeling insecure?"

"No one can feel safe when they can come here, even if they go to Carmel." The foreman smiled bitterly, and this smile made Zhao Zhenxue feel a little familiar.

"Have we seen it before?" Zhao Zhenxue said.

"Yes, but I still remember you Miss Zhao, you must not remember me," said the foreman. Seeing that Zhao Zhenxue was still recalling, he reminded again, "I studied at Ningzhou University."

"Oh, no wonder," Zhao Zhenxue suddenly realized that she had accompanied Yifan there for many classes, and then was a little surprised, "Then you should have just graduated a few years ago?"

"I dropped out of school midway," the foreman's face was calm, but his tone was a little depressed, "I'm lucky and made a little fortune." The second half of the sentence was a standard businessman's tone.

"Speaking of this, Ivan also ordered the name for me back then," said the foreman, who was a little moved, "I just didn't expect..."

"No one could have thought..." Zhao Zhenxue seemed to want to say something, but she gave up after just starting out, and just added, "By the way, I haven't asked what your name is?"

"Tang Yunliang." The foreman replied.
