Chapter 2521 Mechanical Sound

"Oh, I really don't want to do it."

It was 9 o'clock in the morning.

A man stopped several machines at home. The rumbling sound of the machines was a daily routine for their family. His wife looked solemn.

"Dear, if you don't want to do it, let's go to the movies and go shopping today."

The man hummed, and the couple looked helplessly at the more than ten small machines at home. These material manufacturing machines were what they had to open every day. There were a lot of raw materials piled up in the warehouse.

After the couple hugged and laughed for a while, they went to the street. Soon they found a breakfast shop, but the mechanical sound from the shop made the couple feel uncomfortable. After sitting down, the waiter at the next table was making some water cups.

"Why don't we change places?"

The man suggested, and the woman smiled bitterly.

"It's the same no matter where you change."

The whole street was filled with annoying mechanical sounds. These mechanical sounds would accompany people in the city every day, from morning to night, and even in the early morning, and these sounds would not stop.

Although some places have stipulated the manufacturing time, there are still people who can only do it because the output has not been completed.

Amidst the unbearable mechanical sounds, the couple finished their breakfast, and both of them looked gloomy, as did many people walking on the street.

Now the coverage rate of small machinery manufacturing has reached more than 90%, which is almost difficult to cover. Most of the remaining 10% are state employees.

This city has never been so uncomfortable. Many people know that this is caused by everyone becoming a manufacturer, but it is not possible not to manufacture. No matter how much is manufactured, it seems that it is not enough.

The state will directly purchase the excess products. Many people's expressions have become a little indifferent. Pedestrians passing by on the street are silent, and many people wear new noise-isolating headphones.

These headphones have been produced by many people recently, and they are in short supply because the annoying mechanical manufacturing sound is always pervasive.

The couple came to the cinema in the early morning. Fortunately, there are not many people now. The couple wanted to watch a movie quietly. After entering the cinema, the annoying mechanical sound disappeared, and the couple was relieved.

The couple ordered some snacks, bought some movie tickets, paid for the room, and planned to spend a comfortable day in the cinema today.

This is a paradise for many people now. The cinema has been fully equipped with soundproofing equipment, so no mechanical sounds can be heard here.

After the movie started, the couple sat in the theater and enjoyed themselves. Many people were the same as the couple. After entering the cinema, they showed a rare smile on their faces.

After a movie, the couple talked about some interesting details in the movie and returned to the rest room, planning to continue watching the movie after lunch.

Although the couple has no children yet, their income is already very good, which is much better than when they were working in the past. It’s just that after adapting to the current life, it is extremely boring and helpless.

Some people even say that such a life is torture. Repeating the same thing every day, although some material manufacturing machines can be exchanged, it is essentially the same.

A bag of candy, a pack of toilet paper, a piece of clothing, are essentially making something, there is no novelty or fun, and the goods do not need to be promoted. They only need to be put in a box after they are done every day, and the state staff will come to pay and take it away.

This family workshop has really helped too many people. In the past, too many people were struggling on the edge of hard work. They didn't want to consume, didn't want to go out, didn't want to get married, and didn't want to buy a house.

But since the start of this system, young people have become wealthy, and houses are no longer a luxury. Consumption is even more arbitrary, because there are no too luxurious goods, and those goods have become a thing of the past.

In today's country, there is no big gap between the rich and the poor. There is only hard work and no hard work. Many products are only practical. Even the most exquisite goods must be practical.

But most goods have become extremely cheap, and there is no big difference in consumption. People have too many choices, even for entertainment.

Even if those celebrities have more wealth, they may not be able to spend it for hundreds of years.

Those things that were once extremely luxurious have fallen from the altar. One by one, the former luxury companies have completely closed down, as if they had never existed. Although many people are complaining about these mechanical sounds, they cannot blame them.

Because most people have gotten rid of the life of cattle and horses because of such an era, and live the life they once dreamed of, and even realized some of their dreams in the past.

Because the era when everyone doesn't have to worry about tomorrow, rent, electricity, food, and the future in all aspects has passed.

This era seems to be frozen, and there is no need to move forward.

After lying in the room for a while, the couple felt too quiet, so they walked around the cinema and watched some movie trailers.

The current film production is very good, because there is no need to deliberately create something too commercial to attract people's attention, but you can calm down and tell a good story.

Because as long as you can pass the qualification assessment and enter the entertainment industry, you can do what you want.

The same is true for movies. You don't need to do your best for the box office, so the quality of many movies has improved a lot.

Some producers don't need to think too much about cost issues, because now the number of competitors in the industry has been reduced too much, and the market is very huge.

Soon the couple found a couple who looked like a couple and started chatting.

"Mr. Jean, what do you think will happen if this era continues?"

Gene looked at the ordinary couple in front of him and didn't know how to answer. He lit a cigarette and sat down. Next to him, Verla and the other's wife were chatting and laughing, both talking about some clothes.

The smoke filled the air and Gene laughed.

"Mr. Condi, how should I put it? I think human beings pursue emotional pursuits more than material ones. After all, after material stability, most people will choose emotional pursuits."

Condi nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Jean, my wife and I have been planning to make some music recently, but those annoying mechanical sounds always make people very uneasy."

Gene nodded.

"These sounds aren't going to stop anytime soon."

Condi hummed.

"Hey, it would be nice if there weren't these mechanical sounds, now we're already going numb."

Gene smiled helplessly.

"If there is no mechanical sound, then wouldn't we have to go back to the past again?"

Condi was stunned, then nodded with a smile.

"Yes, when my wife and I were not married, I worked for an express company. Every day I worked at a courier company and I was very tired. I didn't even have time to go out and have fun with my wife. After all, we owed a lot of money. The debts are getting bigger and bigger, and life seems to be a bottomless pit.”

Gene listened carefully as Condi continued.

"At that time, my wife and I often quarreled over financial issues, and even took action over it. As a result, both of us ended up in the hospital, and I was the worst offender."

Condi burst out laughing, and his wife immediately retorted.

"What makes you the worst off is that you were at fault first. We were already under a lot of debt pressure, but you even bought a car."

Condi smiled and nodded, but the two of them did not have angry faces because of the past. Instead, they chatted excitedly about some past events.

"We had had enough quarrels at that time and planned to separate, because we all knew that if we continued to be together, the debt would only increase. Mr. Jean, have you been like this before?"

Gene nodded and Condi sighed.

"It was obviously very comfortable when we were alone and expenses were not a problem, but when we were together, expenses became a problem. Later we separated and gradually paid off a lot of debts. We are not the kind of people who spend a lot of money. "

"If I hadn't come back then, you definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative."

Condi's wife said, and Condi nodded awkwardly.

"Yeah, when you came back, we fell into a debt crisis again. This time we thought we would be completely ruined, but we didn't expect that the company we owed money to was ruined, and our debt miraculously disappeared."

The two happily talked about the changes in this country. Both of them originally thought that their lives were over. Whether they were separated or together in the future, it would be difficult for them to live well in such an era, and even one day Will be eliminated from the ghetto.

However, the turning point brought about by the country's changes completely shocked the two of them. After a series of changes, their lives ushered in an earth-shaking change. They got married immediately and everything went smoothly.

Gene asked.

"So do you hate your current job?"

The couple shook their heads, but Condi said.

"We don't hate our current jobs, but we can't say we like them. It's this state that makes people feel tortured."

At this time, the next movie started, and the couple said goodbye to Jean and Verla and left.

Weirla, who was wearing sunglasses, looked helpless and smiled.

"Human beings are such strange creatures. They have enough to eat and drink, enough time, enough income, and good entertainment, but they still feel unsatisfied."

Jean smiled and did not answer Vila's words, because it was true that those luxury goods were banned because those products were useless except luxury and would also waste resources.

But now many people even miss those luxury goods, but they can no longer buy them because everything has been completely collapsed and reshaped.

This is how most people feel now. The entire country has been reshaped, and in a very short period of time, a country that was originally controlled by capital has been turned into a giant factory.

Everyone has become a member of this factory, from children to the elderly, this is a reality that everyone has to accept.

"Let's go, let's go back too."

Gene started walking, and Ver pulled over to hold Gene's arm, and the two left the cinema.

Mechanical sounds started to sound as soon as I stepped out. Indeed, these sounds are too annoying, because no matter where I go, these sounds will follow me. These sounds sound all kinds of strange, but in the end there is only one synonym for them, mechanical sounds.

As soon as she returned to the apartment where she lived, Verla sighed and started making products with Jean. After a while, they finished the products. Jean called the national staff, and soon they came to take them away. products.

"Does he really want to catch up with those two countries?"

Gene knew exactly what Tommy wanted to do, hoard enough supplies for the war and fight a protracted war.

"Are you really not going to do anything Gene?"

Virla asked, and Gene hummed.

"Whether it is the path that Ellie believes in or the best path for this world, ideals and reality will eventually determine the winner, because there is no answer. Since there is no answer, we can only wait for the result. In the end, ideal is better , or reality is better. We can only wait and witness the future results. No matter what the results are, we can only accept them."

Virla chuckled.

"Why don't you do it yourself?"

Yang Yi lit a cigarette and smiled.

"My answer is between ideal and reality. I don't want to take sides. Brilliant City is now moving towards the ideal road. This road may be very long because there are still too many things that cannot be perfected, and the United States It has moved towards reality, and the reality is that this kind of system can allow mankind to continue without repeating the mistakes of the past. If there are unqualified parts, just replace them with new ones.”

Vila sighed, and she smiled helplessly.

"I have also embarked on Tommy's path before. Unfortunately, I failed because I thought of my ideal again and I did not completely follow this path. The result was the destruction of the entire country and myself. Also completely occupied by the Devourer."

Gene hummed.

"We have witnessed too many roads, but in the end these roads all come to an end without exception, because the monster of capital will always stare at the ideal and reality with eager eyes, showing the ideal to everyone, making people full of hope. , but secretly he is doing extremely realistic things.”

The rumbling sound of machinery came from next door. The two of them came to the window, overlooking the quiet city, because there were almost no people on the road, and there were almost no people in the buildings that used to have busy figures passing through. There are no more people walking around.

There is only mechanical sound in the whole city. This sound is crisp but heavy. This is a scene that has never appeared to human beings in thousands of years. It has nothing to do with prosperity, but it is incompatible with suffering. More importantly, the human beings here , there is no class.

"Even the current managers are just a screw in the entire country. Perhaps this is the final form of human society."

Gene laughed helplessly and Viera said.

"Didn't Bright City also want to enter the era of mechanization?"

Gene hummed.

"It's the same now!" ()
