Chapter 335 Gold Diggers (Part 2)
Le Xiao quietly looked at the documents on the screen. The vacant housing areas in Districts 113 and 114 need to be replanned and rebuilt into a blue-level area. Citizens from the lower classes nearby can move in as long as they meet the qualifications. The housing prices are determined based on the past consumption records of all citizens who apply for housing and have good records.
These two areas have been red alert areas for more than 10 consecutive years. The main source of the last riot was these two areas. Fights and murders often occur in the area. Even people from the Operations Department often clash with local people in the two areas.
Compared with the slums, the economic conditions in these two areas are slightly better, but the economy is driven by many illegal activities. There are more small groups in the area, and the majority of them are young people. In the last riot, 210,000 people participated in the two areas, accounting for more than 75% of the total number of riots.
Most citizens who thought that the law was not a burden to the masses did not expect that the Operations Department would be so decisive and resolute, directly expelling nearly 290,000 people without giving them any chance. This was because the long-term instability had long been the root of the trouble, and the rioters had been instigating it. Other districts at the bottom were more or less stabilized by local forces, so most people were still sober and did not participate in the riots.
Le Xiao is now worried about District 108 where her home is located. It is very similar to Districts 113 and 114. Although some forces are secretly managing it, because it is a slum, many larger forces are unwilling to intervene because there is no profit, and the Operations Department can only maintain the minimum public security there.
What Le Xiao fears most is that one day District 108 will be identified as a black area, and Section 3 will immediately block the area and strictly investigate and expel all bad citizens. Once this step is reached, District 108 will be hopeless.
Le Xiao knew the importance of implementing this proposal in District 108. The information about District 113 and District 114 that Gu Ningning had just shown her gave Le Xiao an idea. She rented out the mechanical balls to some people in District 108 so that they could use the mechanical balls to make money when they were carrying out construction in Districts 113 and 114. Most of the mutants in District 108 would go there to work. This way, they could directly compare the work efficiency and work ability of the two, and use the mechanical balls to generate economic value.
"What does that guy want to do?"
What Le Xiao thought about the most at this time was why Lin Min wanted to stop her proposal so vigorously. She wanted to tamper with the proposal. Le Xiao was thinking about businessmen. There might be businessmen from a certain company behind them who wanted to intervene in the business of the mechanical balls and expand the influence of the mechanical balls, so as to directly promote the balance of this proposal to the mechanical balls. Le Xiao still remembered that night that although the parliamentarians were talking about the disadvantages of this mechanical ball, which would affect the employment rate in the region and other issues, they were actually in the same group with the businessmen. The businessmen's ability to make profits naturally depended on their benefits.
Le Xiao's eyes widened. She didn't want to let the merchants intervene because she didn't want to destroy fairness. Once the merchants intervened, the mutants might lose their original lives. Most mutants who entered Section 3 or Section 5 would not be treated as formal clerks, because many of them did not have high academic qualifications. It would be extremely difficult to pass such a difficult exam in the Acting Section. If they could not pass the exam, they would not be able to receive high wages. It might be good for some low-level mutants in the short term, but if it was long-term, they might even have difficulty supporting their families.
On the one hand, mutants can be suppressed and the employment rate of ordinary people can be increased. On the other hand, mutants can be controlled and work under the supervision of the Acting Section. Mutants are a minority, while ordinary people are the majority.
Le Xiao stood up. Everything had been figured out, and Le Xiao also had her own purpose. She didn't want to favor anyone, but planned to pass this motion and find a way to make District 108 better.
But Le Xiao knew that she was actually favoring mutants, so the purpose of this motion after three months was to improve the economy of District 108, and finally mutants could beat the mechanical ball.
When Le Xiao went to the 10th Department the day before yesterday, what she saw made her feel afraid when she thought about it carefully. Not only artificial intelligence, but everything in the huge battleship Noah was mechanized, replacing many human jobs. Such a breakthrough cannot be opened. Once the breakthrough of the mechanical part is opened, Le Xiao dare not think about what will happen next.
Her head was slightly hot. Le Xiao seemed to understand why she was chosen as the implementer of this proposal. She was like a breakthrough. At this time, Le Xiao thought more about the time when Gene took her back to the bottom. At that time, she thought that Gene might want her to see the situation of her family with her own eyes and then make some changes. But after so many days, Le Xiao found that Gene's purpose for doing this did not seem simple.
"Asshole Gene."
Le Xiao couldn't help but curse. She stood up. Why did Gene take her to the 10th Department two days before the meeting? At this moment, Le Xiao was completely awake.
Humans can control machines, but they are currently unable to bear the consequences brought about by machines. Le Xiao still clearly remembers what Guoguo said when he argued with her that day. He repeatedly mentioned the dangers that artificial intelligence would bring, and that the ultimate goal of the huge battleship Noah was to take humans away from the planet.
Once machines appear, the people at the bottom will be the first to suffer, and the people at the bottom will be the most affected. The dark and lightless barrier area in the mind, and the illumination of the artificial sun on the brilliant city.
With a buzz, Le Xiao stood up and covered her dizzy head. Why did Michelle come out before? She slapped her arms and repeated the last chance twice.
"This is what I expect, and it is also what you expect, Gene. Giving up is never the right thing to do."
Le Xiao lowered her head quietly. She began to understand Jean's thoughts. On that day in District 29, Jean made it clear that he needed his secretary to help him do what he couldn't do. Le Xiao has always said Somewhat confused.
The place where the sun rises is also the place where the sun sets. Any small decision from the upper level will affect everything in the entire city. Le Xiao can feel what is carried on her shoulders. In her 26 years of life, There has never been such a heavy moment.
"I must not lose. I must bring the sun's rays down from above."
Le Xiao slowly raised her head and looked at the dazzling sun at the top of Central Park. Not all of the sunlight shining down fell on the plants. Many plants on the periphery of Central Park were a little yellow and would eventually be destroyed. Eradicate them and plant new ones, only to have them turn yellow because they don't get enough sunlight, and the cycle starts over again.
Just like Areas 113 and 114, as well as areas that were previously designated as black areas, people were expelled time and time again, but within just a few years after they were established, they began to change from blue areas to red areas.
The scenes of his inauguration ceremony were still recalled in his mind. Le Xiao clearly remembered the light of the artificial sun that was about to fade away that day, and everything Jean said. Le Xiao found that she had known Jean for nearly a month, and to this day She had never understood Jean until now.
The position of secretary is the most free position in the business department, and it is also the position that can change the city. What Jean wants her to do is very simple, bring down the light from the top, because Jean said that no matter what she wants to do, she can do it. , from the time he brought Lexiao home until now, Jean has never said what the nature of Section 13 is, nor has he given her any substantive orders.
Thinking about the situation of other departments, they all have the tasks that their own department should undertake. What exactly is the 13th department and what should it undertake? At this moment, Le Xiao began to think about it, because she had already served as a breakthrough point for machines to intervene in the city. Forced into a desperate situation.
"Hey, kindergarten kid, why are you here alone? Oh, I'm really crying."
For a moment, Le Xiao looked around nervously, and a cyan light and shadow figure slowly walked towards him.
Le Xiao became nervous and looked around.
"Are you Lord Cyan God?"
The cyan figure chuckled.
"You don't seem stupid. You just said you wanted to bring down the light from above. It was indeed a good joke."
Le Xiao looked at Qing Ershen with some discomfort, always feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before, his tone and attitude towards him.
"It's not a joke, Lord Cyan God, I"
"Don't talk too much. There used to be a young man who had the same idea as you, but that young man was unable to do anything in the end. That man's name is Ji Mo."
In an instant, Le Xiao's eyes widened and she stared at the cyan god in disbelief.
"To solve the essential problem, you must not be bound by the essence. It seems that you have a little bit of qualifications. I really want to see whether Jean has found gold or a piece of rubble this time!"
The cyan god slowly raised a hand, and a seven-sided gemstone ring appeared. Then the blue light on the ring formed a light and shadow screen, and there was a touch of excitement in her eyes.
"Jean?"
Le Xiao's eyes widened and she looked at Jean, who was already standing on the tall building, staring at Le Xiao with a solemn expression.
Lexiao hurriedly wiped the tears still stained on her cheeks.
"Sorry Gene, I'm really sorry."
Le Xiao bowed down seriously.
"What's wrong? I'm crying again, haha."
Le Xiao blushed, looked at Jean seriously, and said every word.
"Let me bring down the light from above."
Gene raised his head with a smile, and the sun filled his cheeks. He turned around and walked slowly, then turned his head, a gentle smile hanging on his face.
"up to you!"
