Chapter 200: Traveling in the Maple Leaf District (Part II)

"It's so sweet, I'm worried that I can't find it when I get lost, and there is navigation."

Not only that, for people from different walks of life, the intelligent system also specially gives you several price ranges to choose from, and even the fitness plan has been arranged for people, so you can send a special car to escort you directly to the card.

Looking at the colorful billboards, Wang Xu said: "The Maple Leaf District has a zero crime rate. ”

"Is there a police station?"

Wang Xu nodded and said, "Yes, I usually deal with some trivial matters. ”

There are several red and white patrol robots scattered in the hall, their oval heads looking around for strange things, and their funny and clumsy movements seem to be cute.

"Which exit to take?"

"Exit D." Wang Xu glanced at the navigation card and blurted out.

The city construction bureau is located 3 kilometers away, and most of them choose to wait for the bus, and Wang Xu, who is generous, does not hesitate to take out his mobile phone to call a taxi.

"There are no guardrails on the road here."

Chen Bo counted the lanes, and there were six lanes in one direction, which was already a relatively high-standard configuration in China.

Early urban planning underestimated the rate of growth in car ownership, leading to many urban areas being designed with two lanes, which were sufficient in the days of the bicycle kingdom.

However, since the beginning of the new century, the population has grown rapidly, and congestion has become almost commonplace during peak hours.

At the same time, a roadside sign caught Chen Bo's attention.

He knew that it was a sign for the tidal lane.

According to the current signage, the busy side is eight lanes, and the traffic is maintained at high speed, without honking and cutting in line, and the distance between vehicles is kept at a very safe distance, and the lanes on both sides are tacitly reserved for people to park.

"The car is coming."

Wang Xu didn't raise his hand, a maple leaf R7 flashed out of the traffic, and it slid elegantly and stopped accurately in front of the two.

"This driver is poisonous, it's easy to roll over when driving like this."

Chen Bo wiped his sweat and wanted to see the true face of the old driver, but was surprised to find that there was no one in the narrow driver's seat.

"Unmanned, hurry up and get in the car." Wang Xu sat in the back seat and beckoned Chen Bo to move quickly.

In order to prevent curious passengers from trying to control the steering wheel and causing a traffic accident, the passenger seat is separated from the driver's seat, and the space in the car is L-shaped, so you can sleep peacefully lying down.

"Do you want to give money?" Chen Bo is aware of this problem.

"Of course, other companies don't do charity."

"Is it safe to drive unmanned, in case you meet a few drunk female drivers, isn't it cool?"

Chen Bo's memory of unmanned driving is still an immature technology, the road situation is changing rapidly, sometimes the incident is sudden, the machine may not be able to respond in time, there have been several safety accidents reported abroad, and I remember that all of them are Tesla.

"That's because the human factor is uncontrollable, and if all the cars on the road are driverless, there is no such problem."

Chen Bo thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, everyone operated with reference to the same system, like electrons surrounding atoms, forming a relatively steady state.

Soon, however, he had a new confusion.

"And what if people from other districts drive in?"

"Well, the road in the middle." Wang Xu stretched out his finger and pointed.

"Isn't it inconvenient to change lanes?"

Wang Xu patiently explained: "Equipped with a unified navigation system, if you need to turn and change lanes during driving, the unmanned vehicle will automatically adjust the speed to give way for you in advance." ”

"That's right." Chen Bo understood it, and he really had a sense of science and technology.

Chen Bo looked out the window, there was a city sightseeing tram behind the view, and the half-window was specially opened for tourists to browse and take pictures, and many students took this train.

"This sightseeing car is good, why don't we take it." Chen Bo cast an envious gaze.

Wang Xu complained: "So many people, squeezed to death, the subway is about to suffocate me." ”

The unmanned vehicle drove for three minutes, the road traffic was smooth, there was no blockage, and the speed was maintained at nearly 50 kilometers per hour.

The exterior of the URA building is in the shape of a hard hat, but it is not the kind of yellow plastic helmet that has fallen from the slag, the surface of the building is wrapped in solemn and sacred pure black, and there are several silver arcs passing through the eye-catching place of the main entrance.

After all, there are a large number of students, and not all students start from the Urban Renewal Bureau, so they are assigned to different locations to start an experiential journey.

There are more than a dozen staff members in charge of reception, most of them are wearing casual formal clothes, Chen Bo and Wang Xu were divided into the same group after being bound, and a young man was responsible for leading the team.

"Hello, let me introduce myself first, my name is Cai Huiying, I only joined the work last year, and I am honored to take you to visit the Maple Leaf District today."

The students responded with applause, Cai Huiying continued to talk eloquently, unable to escape the usual rhetorical routine, whenever people introduce the Maple Leaf District, they will always start from the history of the family, and count the merits of the ancestors.

Fortunately, the display process is supplemented by holographic projection, otherwise Chen Bo would have dozed off just listening to this blunt introduction.

The Maple Leaf District is named after the Maple Leaf Group, which is unprecedented in China, which is enough to see the great contribution of the Maple Leaf Group to the development of the new area.

Wang Xu commented: "This is an impossible task, relying on housing to retain talents, although it is against the laws of the market, but it has indeed been done." ”

"I'm also curious, with the level of housing prices in the Yuanyu market, it is difficult for even the middle management of large companies to bear it."

According to Chen Bo's conservative estimates, if the middle management is unable to settle in the city, then the remaining 85% of ordinary people will not be mentioned.

Many colleagues who entered the industry late failed to catch the last train of housing prices, and finally had to endure the pain to buy a place dozens of kilometers away from the city, usually spending 2 hours on the commute, getting up early every day, greedy for darkness, and relying on coffee to survive.

"Buying a house in the form of financial leasing is only Xiao Feng who dares to do it."

Chen Bo's impression of the chairman is unusual, but the other party's card routine is still beyond the scope of his own thinking, in the face of real estate, which requires high cash flow turnover, the practice of slowly returning funds is tantamount to digging their own graves.

Dare to think and dare to do, and it is still successful, and it is not an ordinary success.

This practice of relying on housing to bind talents has made the Maple Leaf District the most densely populated area in the world, and any passer-by is a master's degree with tens of millions of assets.

After introducing the history of the family, Cai Huiying proudly showed everyone the complex sewage treatment system inside the Maple Leaf District, the intricate pipes, and the sense of an anthill.

"Now, please come with me and see for yourself."

Chen Bo was confused: "Huh? ”
