Chapter 1215: Fierce Fight! Master & Apprentice 47 (Medium)
September 1, 2216
The sound of irritability is something that every citizen must endure every day, and some citizens even suffer from severe insomnia and mental breakdown.
The sound of the project is like a sharp knife every day, constantly irritating people's eardrums, and the promised factory opening by Congress is just a joke.
Some companies have laid off large numbers of employees because manufacturing has come to a near standstill, paid time off is no longer there, and people from all walks of life who used to work in the office or on the streets are losing their jobs.
Many people who have never picked up decoration tools in their lives can only go to the construction site to help, and the salary is not as high as that of normal workers.
Some have even been able to set up small workshops in their own homes to make ends meet, and the population has lost patience.
Less than a month after the opening of the first subway, a wave of unemployment has arrived, and as a large number of companies have gradually emptied their stockpiles, most of the merchants have been unable to bear it, and the supply of other goods except for food is abundant, and the supply of other goods has almost run out of stock on a large scale.
Depression and ruin pervaded every corner of the middle and lower classes of the city, and a large number of people became more and more dissatisfied, because the upper classes had basically no problems with their supplies.
Of the 2 million people in the upper class and the 18 million people in the lower middle class, Congress chose 2 million.
Workers working underground lack a large number of labor insurance products, and many people have different degrees of physical problems, but fortunately, the supply of medical supplies is relatively sufficient.
The explanation given by the Congress is that because of the huge difficulty of underground construction, the part that relies on large machinery is now basically over, and most of the facilities need manpower to build, because of the degree of refinement of the project, the skills of the workers in the implementation process do not match, so the progress has been delayed, and there have been a lot of crimes in the society recently, as well as demonstrations and riots in some areas.
Every day, Locke would make a city-wide televised speech, trying to reassure the public, because the impact of various problems slowed down the progress of the construction, and most importantly, there is now a certain amount of chaos within the Angus and Hillman families.
Construction materials were stolen from the construction site, and even appeared in the black market the next day, although many people were arrested and some materials were recovered, but to no avail, and chaos intensified every day in the construction project.
Coupled with the impact of a number of construction site accidents, more than 100 people in the Angus family have died one after another in the construction, and the Hillman family is also uncomfortable, more than 80 people have been swept into it, and the two families can only continue to carry it now.
In the end, most of the people blamed the Angus family for the problem, because the Angus family was in charge of many of the construction problems, while the Hillman family was responsible for the logistics and financial review.
During the construction period, the most serious problem was several subsidence and collapse, which led to the direct blockage of the project progress, and even the fire broke out in the factory.
The problem on the street is even more serious, most of the civilian cars can not be repaired because of the damage, many cars have been unable to start, can only be idle on the side of the road, and even some cars have suffered traffic accidents because of the aging of parts.
Even if the AI system can avoid accidents close to 100%, if the car is damaged, there is no way to prevent the accident from happening.
Those old cars that are still using bacterial batteries to drive are very dangerous, and the normal use time of the power box is 3 years and must be replaced, because in the process of bacterial power generation, a large number of acidic substances will be produced, and the problem of leakage will occur after a long time, so it needs to be replaced, and once the bacteria leak out, it will have a very big impact on people.
In particular, a kind of carnivorous bacterial battery is the most harmful, because of its outstanding ability to divide, it can maintain long-term effective and efficient electrical energy, but once leaked, it can be disabled or killed.
There have been 39 leaks in more than eight months, and although Congress banned some damaged cars from the road, some people dismantled the AI system and drove the cars on the road in a grand manner.
Recently, the problem has intensified, and people have been protesting directly to the upper floors in front of the General Affairs Division, demanding that the Diet remove the construction in some areas and start the factory as soon as possible.
From the initial sit-in demonstrations to large-scale voices, there are now riots, and the National Assembly has gone from patiently driving away at the beginning, and now it has to use strong measures to directly arrest those involved in the riots on the streets.
This practice has intensified the resistance of most people, and the incidents of petty theft in society have become difficult to contain, and the voices of dissatisfaction continue to fill the streets and alleys.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, a large number of handcuffed people lined up in a long line from the hall to the door of the interrogation room at the back of the public security administration office in District 77.
Alpha's lagging punishment program for micro-crimes has failed, which has led to more people being involved in petty theft.
Nowadays, as long as they are caught by Section 5, if they are petty thefts, as long as there is evidence and the confession of the perpetrator, they will be immediately sent to work on farms in the east, with a minimum of 3 months of labor without any wages.
At present, there is an extreme shortage of people in the grain base in the eastern region, and water, air, and land have all been polluted to varying degrees due to construction reasons, and some farmland near the eastern construction circle has even undergone serious industrial pollution.
Among them, dust pollution is the most harmful to crops, which will hinder the normal photosynthesis of crops, resulting in crop wilting and reduced yield, and the falling construction dust pollution will enter the planting soil, under the action of sunlight and water, it will be combined with the soil to solidify, hinder the normal growth of plants, and even some chemical reactions will occur, producing harmful chemicals to be absorbed by plants, resulting in toxic food.
Nowadays, it is obviously impossible to build a dark film, and it can only be cleaned every day by robots that absorb harmful dust and manpower with identification and absorption equipment, and some of the land close to the edge of the construction has died in just eight months.
"Mr. Tianming, please don't do this kind of thing again in the future, according to your crime, you will now be sent to the farm to work and punish for half a year."
The man called Destiny was hunched over, wearing a pair of small round glasses, and a shabby gray suit, looking submissive, and his emotions at this moment were a little excited.
"My lord, please give me a chance, I really can't help it, I still have two children."
Tianming said, and the staff of Section 5 who came out of the interrogation room with him shook his head helplessly.
"Let's send it to your relatives first."
Destiny hurriedly turned around, looking like he was about to kneel, and the man from the 5th branch grabbed his arm.
"It's useless for you to kneel, an order is an order, this is our section chief's order, please don't embarrass me Mr. Tianming, if I let you be censored, I will lose my job, I just got married, and I have a newborn child at home."
Tianming trembled, he shook his head, his eyes moistened.
"If I am sent over, my children will die, they will really die, I have no relatives, my wife died just after giving birth last year, please, give me a chance."
The clerk of Section 5 was helpless, so he took out 100 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Tianming's pocket.
"There's only so much I can do for you."
Tianming kept wiping his tears, and the 5 section staff next to him patted him on the back, and the two came to the reception hall of the public security management office, on the bench on the left, a little boy who looked a little yellow and thin held a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, he smiled from time to time, holding a bottle with only some water, and coaxed his sister who was crying because of hunger.
Tianming stood in the hall in a daze, hiding behind the crowd, he didn't have the courage to walk over, the first time he stole, because of the punishment postponement regulations issued by Alpha, he was not sent to the eastern grain base, and the second time he still took the risk of stealing, and was caught.
Tianming didn't know how to face his two children, and the clerk next to him didn't urge him, and now the only way out is for someone who is willing to bail Tianming, but with a bail of up to 10,000 yuan, it is impossible for anyone here to take it out.
As long as Tianming does not commit any crimes during the bail period, he can be exempted from punishment and labor, and Tianming also said just now that he has no relatives.
The clerk of the 5th section is very helpless, although he has a little savings, he also thought about helping this honest man, the factory he worked in before is now suspended, he is sick because of his body, he can not do heavy physical labor, went to many construction sites, and was fired in less than three days, but the reality does not allow it, his life is not easy, the child is just 2 years old, it is the time when money is urgently needed.
Now that most of the regional subsidies in the city are gone, all the taxes have been invested in the construction bill, and the original birth subsidy has been stopped in March last year.
Tangled sadness and helplessness were written on Tianming's face, it had been the third day since he was arrested, looking at a pair of children, it should have been three days without normal food, he didn't know what to do.
"I'll help you contact the orphanage."
The staff member of Section 5 said that he also knew that it was very difficult, and the current orphanage was overcrowded, and most of the uncared for children who could not be sent in could only live on the streets, beg, or be used by criminals.
After a while, Tianming clenched the 100 yuan in his pocket, said thank you to the 5 section staff next to him, and walked out of the pile.
Sitting on a bench in the hall and holding the baby's son, Tianji, looked over happily and immediately got up and ran over.
"Dad, you ......."
"Take it first, go buy something to eat."
Tianming said and gave the money to his son, who seemed to be hungry for several days, and he ran out quickly, without thinking much about it.
"Let's go."
Tianming said, looking at the escort car outside, he knew very well that he couldn't tell his children anything.
"I'm sorry for you, just tell them, can I go to the farm to make money? Let them wait for me for half a year. ”
The clerk of Section 5 nodded, and he tilted his head slightly.
"I'll help you find someone who is willing to take care of them for half a year."
Tianming's eyes widened, and he cried emotionally for a while, and the staff of Section 5 patted him on the shoulder and led him to an escort car parked in the yard.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Tianming looked at his son Tianji with some surprise, he had already bought something, but he didn't expect to come back so soon, a can of liquid food, and a can of baby dairy products, Tianji who came over handed the remaining 98 pieces of 5 cents to his father.
"Take the scar, Dad is going to work on the farm, you wait for me for half a year, and this uncle next to me will take care of you."
Tianji looked at his father a little uncomfortably for a while, he glanced at the escort car next to him, and many of the people on it looked a little dignified, he knew that this was not to make money.
The sister in Skymark's arms had quieted down after eating, and he stopped crying, and he tugged at his father's pants with one hand.
At this time, a car drove in, a young couple got out of the car, and a regional section officer came out with a few people.
"Mr. Lewen, you are here, please help us repair the two take-off and landing planes in the station as soon as possible."
Lewen smiled and nodded, and his wife Su Xin next to him looked at the people in the long line with some surprise, and her face became a little solemn.
The two of them are very happy every day now, they live very well in this 118 district, and the conflicts with the family have gradually been eliminated a lot, every year Lewen will take his wife back, although the mother-in-law has never given Lewen a good look, even the relatives of the mother-in-law, but the problem has been alleviated.
The section officer called up the light and shadow panel, the yard was very noisy, he called up some data of the take-off and landing aircraft to show Lewen, Lewen is now a senior physical engineer, in addition to helping the company deal with the problems of construction projects, he will also find time to help repair and adjust some machinery.
"I passed the data to you, Mr. Lewen."
The section officer said, but Lewen was quietly looking at the side at this time, next to an escort car, the father and son who were crying together, and the baby held by the boy, and the wife was also looking over there, and after they heard the cry, they looked over for the first time.
Voices like this are common here every day, and everyone is not surprised.
"Mr. Lewen!"
Le Wen came back to his senses and asked.
"What's going on over there?"
The officer took a look.
"It should be a crime that has been committed, and he will be taken to the eastern grain base for punishment and labor."
His wife had already grabbed Lewen's hand, he didn't resist, and the husband and wife walked over.
"Cute little baby."
Su Xin said with a smile, the father and son who were crying for a while separated, and Tianming just squatted quietly in front of the child and touched his head.
"It's okay, Tianji, take good care of Tianai, you are the elder brother."
"Sir, is there anything you can help with?"
Both father and son turned their heads, and a pair of hands reached out.
"Can you lend me a hug? Your sister is so cute. ”
Su Xin stretched out his hand and took Tianai from Tianji's hand, and for a while Tianming choked up, he didn't know the two couples in front of him, and the 5 section members next to him immediately said that the current predicament of this family.
"I'm willing to help him pay his bail!"
Lewen said and glanced at his wife, who nodded.
"Sir, Madam, this ......."
"Everybody will have a time like this, it's okay, it's going to be okay."
Lewen smiled and said, 10,000 yuan is within their reach now, and the family in front of them is now encountering an unprecedented predicament, looking back on the past, they are the same, because someone helped them, they were able to get out of the predicament, the husband and wife will never forget the bowl of noodles in that cold night, because it was the noodles that brought them happiness and hope.
After all the formalities were completed, Lewen paid a bail of 10,000 yuan, and Tianming continued to thank Lewen.
"It's really fine, sir, it's going to be fine, trust me."
At this time, many people in the hall were noisy and noisy, and an image of Alpha appeared on a light and shadow screen in the hall, and everyone looked over.
"Citizens! In the near future, there are some problems that make it difficult to make ends meet due to unemployment, and now the National Assembly has decided to set up a distribution point in some places in most districts every day, if you can no longer afford to eat, you can go to these distribution points to receive food and water for a month, but we will conduct on-the-spot verification of everyone who receives food and water, please do not take it pretendically, once found, it will be divided by a fine of 10 times the normal market value of the food. If you are unable to pay the fine, you will be divided by the amount of the payment for farm work. Please also supervise each other, and if you find any fraud, please report it to the No. 5 Public Security Administration Office in the area, which is paid. And all the citizens who have received the food, please don't use the food distributed to everyone for profit, once found, 10 times the market price of the distribution of materials will be punished! ”
For a while, many people in the hall were surprised, some people looked remorseful, Le Wen and Su Xin smiled and nodded.
"Look, isn't that getting better?"
At this time, many people ran to the outside of the hall, because they could already see a large take-off and landing plane coming, and a large number of people on the street ran in the direction where the take-off and landing plane fell.
"Hurry up, Mr. Tianming."
Lewen said, Tianming said thank you again, put his daughter on his back, and dragged his son out of the hall of the public security management office.
"Let's go, you can just hand me the tools."
Lewen said, Su Xin followed him to the trunk of the car with great enthusiasm, and some staff members went over to help and moved out some repair equipment.
9:18 a.m
Alpha let out a puff of smoke, got up and walked to the couch, and lay down, the current clerk was too inefficient.
The people of the 5th Branch have been asked to start some work a few months ago, but it has been delayed until today to officially start distributing supplies, at present, the only supplies are food and water, Freya is already helping to fight for it, and some pharmaceutical companies have also promised to donate a batch of drugs for free to deal with the current problems in the city, and the next batch will be distributed.
Alpha is a little tired, she has been working continuously for more than a year, she really wants to go back to the upper floor, because Freya will give birth in a few days, she wants to congratulate Freya in person and bring a little gift over.
There are many problems in the docking of several sections, and the problem lies in the low efficiency of the previous batch of management personnel, and now the first batch of people who have taken the examination of the administrative department have been assigned to each section.
A few days ago, a new round of registration has begun, and by the end of the year, more than 10,000 people have signed up for next year's administrative examination.
In a few days, Alpha will have to go to the General Affairs Section with the section chiefs to have a meeting to discuss, after all, there are many people, if it is still 60 points to pass, the quality is too low, and all aspects of the problem need to be discussed, at present, the most annoying thing for Alpha is that the factory is difficult to start, and then continue to drag on, relying on the distribution of materials is not long, 2 sections have given a clear expectation, relying on the distribution of materials can maintain a certain degree of stability for a long time, up to three months.
"What the hell is that Ottoman guy doing!"
After Alpha pressed the cigarette butt, he lit another one, looking very irritable, and now some problems are chaotic 3 Departments occupy a part, they rely on this construction to carry out many kinds of money-making activities, and even collude with some people in the construction to steal and sell materials.
And these materials will enter some companies, and these companies will launder the materials through some small workshops, which is extremely difficult to trace.
Alpha can't bear it anymore, but without the help of Section 3, it is difficult to maintain law and order in today's turbulent society, and the frequent occurrence of various problems has exacerbated the workload of Section 5, and if you add the management of construction sites, there is a shortage of manpower in Section 5.
Alpha can't bear it anymore, she has to let Osman do something, she knows very well that although Osman is capable, he is too kind, and the two major factions within the 3 Sections, treat him like a fool, his rights are constantly being hollowed out, and now the 3 Branches are the section chief, Zijuan is the secretary, but their classmates can't do anything at all, and they are all involved.
The only way is to directly defeat all those leaders, directly expel all of them, and strictly deal with all those who are not left in accordance with military law.
"I'm going to be sick of it."
Alpha stood up, clenched his fists, and returned to the light and shadow screen that flashed orange, it was some reports submitted by the council members sent back by Locke, and Alpha could only sit in front of the light and shadow screen and continue to start reviewing.
10:13 a.m
Charles waited anxiously at the door of the delivery room, almost all of the people from the Alberon family had already come, and most of them had nothing to do during this time, because the factory was shut down, so the company could only stop operating.
The whole family was waiting, at 5 o'clock in the morning Freya began to have labor pains, it has been more than 5 hours now, but the child has not been born, the doctor is also waiting, if she can't give birth, she can only have surgery.
"Charles, I think it's definitely a boy."
A man said, Charles smiled, he now also very much wants to know, whether it is a boy or a girl, but many people in the family say that it should be a boy, because the child in Freya's belly is very active, and there is a high probability that it is a boy.
At this time, the people in the family did not dare to disobey Freya's wishes, after all, her temper was well known to the whole family, and many people in the family wanted to rely on Freya's connections to help make their industry stronger.
Everyone thinks that if Freya gives birth to a child, her concept and attitude will change, after all, she has to think about the child, her and Charles's child will inherit the Ebolon family in the future, and no parent in the world will turn a deaf ear to the child.
It's just that Charles is a little worried, because a few days ago, Freya said that she might give birth to a girl, and when asked why, Freya said it was a feeling.
If he had given birth to a girl, Charles would not have been able to negotiate further with the families who wanted to marry off their daughters.
If it were a boy, the birth of this child would have taken the Alberen family's business to the next level.
This is what Charles wants to see, and this is what the entire Abram family wants to see, Charles kept wandering at the door, when a female doctor came out.
"How?"
"Mr. Alberon, it didn't go too well, Madame had some difficult birth, but she insisted on giving birth on her own and refused to undergo surgery."
Charles was a little dissatisfied and wanted to go in, but he still held back, and at this time he could only follow Freya's wishes.
The family banquet has been prepared, there are many people from other families on the lawn, Charles has already invited many people to the banquet early in the morning, but the Angus couple did not come, because they now know the situation Charles also knows.
At this time on the lawn, Chen Qiao was sullen with a glass of wine, sitting quietly at a table, and Field next to him was smiling happily.
"Is it that funny?"
"I'm sorry, Chen Qiao, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at Charles, who is really too incompetent."
Chen Qiao shook his head bitterly, a few months ago, his wife Liuli was involved in an accident and unfortunately died, although she was a vicious woman, marriage for them, just for their respective families, but after having a child, Chen Qiao was able to endure it a little.
Now that the child has no mother, this makes Chen Qiao feel very uncomfortable every day, and the child who is more than 1 year old will want to find his mother from time to time, Chen Qiao doesn't know what to do.
"If I were Charles, I would have used Freya's connections to hold up a piece of the sky."
Chen Qiao was not in the mood to talk about this, and glanced at Field.
"Won't you go and see your sister?"
Field was a little surprised.
"I almost forgot, I'll go see her in a few days."
Looking at Field in front of him, Chen Qiao sighed helplessly, although Wilsie is better off than before, she still needs to suffer verbal violence, as well as some cold violence in life, and her brother has become even more violent.
"The fate of this child is the same!"
Chen Qiao glanced at the mansion of the Abbotun family and laughed helplessly.
