Chapter 193: The Gradually Disappearing Gap (Part 2)

"What are you? Or, why do you pretend to be AI?"

Li Chu stared quietly at the light blue light flashing in front of him. The light flashed slowly in a transparent cover.

"Sorry, I can't answer this question."

This AI named Kou Kou surprised Li Chu. It was copied from its original body. Li Chu analyzed Kou Kou's source code. The source code was not composed of 0 and 1, but a string of garbled symbols, but these symbols did not represent anything. This was the conclusion Li Chu came to now.

At first, Li Chu thought it was another mechanical language, but based on past knowledge and research on mechanical language, Li Chu judged that these strange characters were not source code, nor mechanical language. These characters existed to mislead.

"You are very smart, Li Chu."

Kou Kou laughed, and Li Chu said sternly.

"You don't need to guess what I am. There is only one thing I can tell you. I am not your enemy. Go to that kangaroo country and you will know everything."

Li Chu stared at Kou Kou suspiciously, and he laughed.

"Why don't you tell us first? No matter what it is, at least you have to tell us something, right? Didn't you say you are not our enemy?"

"Even if you know some things, you are powerless. The changes of things have their own laws of development."

Koko laughed, and Li Chu continued.

"No matter what the law is, what is the root? You should know, our root."

Li Chu was very excited at this moment. In the past, they had always been very strange. Their bodies became like this and they were no longer human. But how did they become like this? They never found the answer to the root problem.

But Koko stopped talking. Li Chu looked at the strings of characters and numbers on the light and shadow screen. These things were meaningless. Since Koko had said it clearly, it was enough to prove that Li Chu's guess was correct.

Li Chu walked to the door of the laboratory and turned off the lights in the laboratory. This was the only way to do it now. After a while, Li Chu came to another laboratory. Noah and Noah were next to the mecha driven by the child. The structure of the mecha had been basically figured out. The only thing that was not figured out was how to control the mecha with thoughts, and the part of the mecha receiving thought signals was still a mystery.

Gu Yi and Witt were also discussing it. The two had made plans to follow Jean when he went out, and then they would go directly to the country of kangaroos to investigate something, because what Jamie said was too incredible.

"What's the situation?"

Li Chu asked, and Gu Yi shook his head.

"It looks like it's not an optical sensor signal, but another type of signal receiving method that we don't know. I have conducted many tests, including electrochemical tests, and there is no reaction at all."

Witt was still looking at the mecha that had been carefully disassembled, and Noah laughed excitedly.

"If I could, I really want to go there. There should be a lot of good things in that country. Unfortunately, I still have a lot of work on hand. How about I give Section 10 to Guoguo?"

"Don't joke, kid."

Li Chu said dissatisfiedly, and Noah laughed.

"Aren't you very busy these days, Noah?"

Noah said, and Noah waved his hand helplessly.

"I know, there are several mechanical biochemical transformation operations today, and I have to go there to collect more specific values ​​in person."

Noah said and got up and left.

11 o'clock in the morning

There are many unfamiliar faces on the ring street in the middle layer. Many of them are dressed very ordinary, and some clothes are still physical. For this ring street with a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, it is no longer as lively as it used to be, but is replaced by desolateness.

Many middle-level companies have taken people to the bottom layer. Now the bottom layer is overcrowded. After all, many companies want to make money. Now the bottom layer has a large number of orders, which can be received until they are soft. Many middle-level people go to work at the bottom layer.

However, the arrival of these people has made many food stores more popular. Recently, many people from the lower level will take the subway directly to come here and eat in the middle level at mealtime.

Although many restaurants in the middle level are a little more expensive than those in the lower level, they are not much higher, and the food is better than that in the lower level. Many food stores in the area close to the lower level have begun to do business for people from the lower level.

The lower level is now overcrowded. If you don’t buy lunch in advance before mealtime, you can only eat liquid food. Many people have made money recently, and the sales of liquid food have dropped a lot. Many people eat ordinary food.

Most of the food stores in the middle level have seized this opportunity and launched a large number of lunch sets for people from the lower level, with a maximum of 5 yuan per person. This is now affordable for many people from the lower level who have made money. The portion is large and delicious.

After a short while, the circular street in the middle level became lively. Many people went shopping after dinner and visited some shops that they would never go to on weekdays. This situation was very good for many people who were still holding on to the middle level. The economy was really starting to flow back, although slowly, but for most individual merchants, it was extremely good.

There are even some people at the bottom who buy light and shadow clothing, which is something that most people in the middle class who are complaining did not expect at first.

As it approached 12 o'clock, Huanzhuang Street returned to its former prosperity, even better than usual. In the past, many people from companies near Huanxuan Street would come to this street for lunch, with an average of no more than 10 people per person. The flow of people is now more than five times that of before.

Some workers who had just come out of the construction site did not hesitate to walk into some beautiful-looking shops. Many food shops were full of people. In the past, many people at the bottom would never go to the middle floors to spend money. .

Now the per capita salary of workers at the bottom has increased to more than 2,000, and the most provided daily food at the bottom is liquid food, so some workers who finally made money want to try better food, so they naturally come to the middle level.

However, the food supply has been somewhat tight recently. Many businesses will send people to the food exchange to guard the food. As long as there are ingredients out of the warehouse, they will buy them and transport them directly to nearby storage points through underground logistics pipelines.

"what on earth is it?"

Chen Qiao muttered, and his grandson Chen Kai laughed.

"Grandpa, these poor devils actually come to Ring Street."

Chen Qiao smiled helplessly, and several businessmen next to him also laughed. In their opinion, many people at the bottom couldn't bear to go to the middle class to spend money, but they didn't expect that this place had suddenly become lively in recent days.

"It's just temporary."

A businessman said, and Chen Qiao nodded. He basically lives in the middle floor now. After all, he has to pay attention to the situation on the bottom floor. Later, Chen Qiao will have to go to the bottom floor to talk to Locke Phoebus about the reconstruction of the two areas. Even though the bottom investment has now been fully handed over to three big families, they can still get a share of the pie.

Zou Yun is among them. This is the highest floor of the best restaurant on Huanzhuang Street, overlooking the panoramic view of Huanzhuang Street.

"Times have changed."

Chen Qiao sighed with emotion, and his grandson Chen Kai laughed.

"Grandpa, no matter how things change, we still have the final say."

Zou Yun glanced at this arrogant boy, and he still has a short memory. Although he has restrained himself a little now, he still can't change it.

"Don't talk nonsense, Kai."

Chen Qiao reminded him. He glanced at the people from the Chen Qiao Group around him. They were still the same as before, with the same moral character as his grandson. From what happened in the film and television area, Chen Qiao had already sensed that the crisis was coming, especially for them. these big capitals.

Due to various problems recently, Chen Qiao Group has lost more than 500 million. Although 500 million is nothing to them, Chen Qiao has a premonition that the worst era is coming, and their only option is The only option is to follow the orders of the business department, which is the last thing most businessmen want to see.

"enough!"

Listening to a group of people still discussing the issue of these low-level people coming up, an angry look appeared on Chen Qiao's face. Soon after Chen Kai finished eating, he took his girlfriend beside him and left, planning to go shopping. Several bodyguards followed him.

"Xiao Kai, let me remind you one last thing, restrain yourself."

Chen Kai laughed.

"knew."

Soon it was approaching 1 o'clock, and only Chen Qiao and Zou Yun were left in the high-rise dining room of the restaurant.

"You've never seen this scene before."

Zou Yun said, Chen Qiao nodded.

"We have been friends since the days of the first generation of managers a long time ago. Do you remember? Those days."

Zou Yun laughed.

"Indeed, time passed too fast in the blink of an eye. We misjudged the situation and there should be no way to recover it now."

Chen Qiao nodded in agreement, and both of them felt that the city's strata were falling apart, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for capital to control the market.

In the past, their major families had absolute control over the market, and it was absolutely impossible to allow the city's economy to be concentrated at the bottom. Even if it did, it was just the normal operation of their capital.

"I don't think Mr. Locke will agree to our request."

"Yes, I think so too. The previous methods are no longer effective, and many congressmen are now gradually alienating themselves from us."

At this time, a piece of news popped up.

"That's the way it is. Why should I agree to their unreasonable request? If there are a large number of chain stores around the cinema, how can those shops on the ground floor survive? It doesn't matter if they protest or complain to me. If they don't give up building a cinema As for the idea of ​​​​related industries, this bill can be shelved indefinitely. Anyway, it can be watched online, and there is no difference if there is no cinema. "

Le Xiao once again made shocking remarks. A large number of reporters were targeting the protest letter submitted to Congress by several major film companies early this morning, saying that Le Xiao was arrogantly blocking the bill and wanted to impeach her.

"It's true."

Zou Yun sighed, Chen Qiao looked at it for a while and said.

"This must be their last ditch effort."

"Ah? Is it necessary to ask this kind of question? Look over there. Which store would you choose?"

Le Xiao pointed angrily at some shops across the street. Among them, the busiest business was a chain store, while many of the shops next to it had very few people.

"What the hell is the fair competition principle? Where is it fair? There is only one street. If I had money, I would open a chain store that has achieved very good results and directly monopolize the business on the street. Why are the questions you ask so strange? Look at how many stores have closed down due to poor management? Why did they close down? Look at how many capital-operated stores are near these closed stores? They use low prices and high quality to kill these stores, and then there is only one store, and the price is decided by them. Do you have problems with your eyes or your brain? Whoever asks such low-level questions again, just don't be a reporter in the future, and change your career to set up a stall. This is something that anyone with eyes and brains knows. Have you never been to school? Didn't you graduate from elementary school?"

Zou Yun and Chen Qiao looked at Le Xiao on the screen and felt helpless. Her words were irrefutable. Then he saw Le Xiao grab the microphone and randomly pulled a lot of people out on the street to ask questions about this capital monopoly model.

Many passers-by answered very well, and also drew inferences from one thing and said a lot of things they had seen and heard before.

"See? You keep asking me such a simple question? Are you looking for trouble? Which media company are you from?"

Le Xiao asked directly and bluntly, and many reporters who had just asked the question were panicked.

"Anyway, let's give it a try. You come with me."

Chen Qiao turned off the light and shadow screen. Now he really felt the power of this secretary. At the beginning, many businessmen felt that she was like an idiot, but now they regretted it.

2 o'clock in the afternoon

Le Xiao came to the local public security management in a rage. This place is located in the middle level. She came here today to see some plans for the construction of the cinema. However, after taking a look, many things are still the same. They tried various ways to get the proposal started as soon as possible. Le Xiao directly scolded them and then left.

Le Xiao had only one idea. She didn't care what these businessmen thought, or how the media disgusted her. As long as they didn't give up the idea of ​​building entertainment and catering facilities for cinemas, this proposal would not start.

Once they do this, things will definitely get worse, because the lower-level businesses have no competitiveness at all in front of these big capital businesses. Once this door is opened, the scene of shops being squeezed out of business that Le Xiao has seen before will reappear, and the lower-level economy that has finally prospered will suffer an extremely serious impact.
