Chapter 9: The White Grim Reaper

I. Taoyuan Township

"Ling, why is this place called 'Taoyuan Township'?" Zhuge Xun followed Ling to the parking lot

"I'm answering this question after you've visited the second circle managed by Pude, maybe I don't have to answer you, you'll think so." Ling motioned to Zhuge Xun to sit in the co-pilot, and after the two of them sat down, Ling asked, "By the way, do you know who invented this wind-powered car?" ”

The car they were riding in was driven by the full wind, and the pressure reached its highest when the car started, and then the natural wind entered the body from the front of the car during the driving process, and was converted into energy in the body and sprayed out from the rear of the car.

"I haven't seen this kind of car, is it powered by the wind? Why don't other circles have it? "Zhuge Xun knew for the first time that there was such an environmentally friendly car, why not promote it, so that you can save a lot of energy.

"Because the person who invented it put restrictions on it, it is not practical for places outside the second lap. It's time to start, fasten your seatbelts. ”

"Oh." Zhuge Xun fastened his seat belt very seriously, because he felt that the speed of this kind of car would be very fast.

The car started slowly, but unexpectedly slowly. Zhuge Xun thought that Ling wanted to let himself enjoy the scenery outside the car, but after listening to Ling's explanation, it didn't seem to be the same thing.

"This kind of car can only drive up to 50, and now the average car can drive above 400, so we can only drive at this speed." After Ling transferred the car to autopilot, he introduced the second circle they saw to Zhuge Xun.

"This car was designed by Pudder?" Zhuge Xun can only guess like this, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Ling invented it.

"Hmm. Former a soldier from a military family, he fought in the world wars as a young man, but found that he was not suitable for that position, so he changed his mind and devoted himself to environmental protection. Wait a minute, I'll take you to the only zoo in the world, and you'll know what 'heaven' is."

Just now you asked why you can't see this kind of car in other circles, in fact, after the first car was built, the association also let Pude mass production, at that time the top speed of this car can reach 800 per hour, and people will not have any discomfort sitting in it. However, this kind of car has high requirements for wind and air quality, and once when the association was receiving a national leader, the national leader and Pudde's second son were also killed in the accident, and since then the car has been sealed and banned from use.

That's why you can only see it in the second lap managed by Pude, and Pude has added a limit to this kind of car, which can only drive up to 50, and the speed limit for driving in the circle is usually 30. People living in the second circle abide by this rule, to be fair, it is not okay not to obey it, because everyone drives this kind of car, which is the only means of travel in the second circle. Do you see the sightseeing bus parked across the red light? It can be driven up to 80, and can only be driven up to 50 in normal times. ”

Zhuge Xun realized that there were all such cars on the street, if it weren't for bicycles, not a single oil car or tram. And it's not just cars, people are dressed strangely......

"What day is it? Is there any major event? Why do people wear the same clothes? Zhuge Xun was very curious when he saw that the clothes of the people on the street were uniform.

"It's not a day, it's a normal day. That's what I'm going to tell you about the next second lap that is unique. Ling continued. Because the temperature and climate in the circle have been set by the 'brain', the second government in charge of the second circle, that is, the incumbent headed by Pude, stipulates that all the people living in the second circle, men, women, the elderly, and children, are exactly the same as uniforms in terms of clothing styles and materials, and as long as they live in the second circle, they must wear the same clothes. Just like a means of transportation, if you don't drive this kind of car and don't wear prescribed clothes, you are not qualified to live in the second circle. This is the law of the country, so you can tell from your clothes whether you are a resident of the second circle or not. Of course, outsiders can also enter the second circle, but only people, other means of passage and dangerous goods are stopped when crossing the 'wall', there are special taxis near the wall for outsiders to walk in the circle. If an outsider wants to stay in the second circle for a long time, he or she needs to go through a very strict assessment, the maximum assessment is one month, and if there is any violent tendencies within this month, he is not allowed to stay in the second circle. It turns out that as long as the people in the circle show their 'personal identification card' when they cross the 'wall', they can go out for the second time at will, and when they come in, they will go through strict inspection, which means that it is easy to go out and difficult to come in.

Therefore, the second circle is also the best circle of public security, and people are usually very harmonious, and if there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can find the security administrator to solve it.

The clothes of the people here are prescribed as:

Men: White sleeveless shirt, black suit trousers, black leather shoes

Women: Black half-sleeved shirt, white knee-length skirt, white high heels.

Children: Yellow short-sleeved and shorts.

Elderly: Green casual clothes.

Everyone's bag is a 'bag within a bag', a large transparent bag with a small black bag inside.

The maximum size of a men's bag is between 10cm and 30cm, and the maximum size of a woman's bag is between 10cm and 50cm. Because women will carry some necessities with them. In this way, the presence of dangerous goods can be avoided as much as possible. If there is something private that can be placed in a black bag, and if a small bag cannot fit but is not willing to be placed in a transparent bag, then the item can be defined as 'dangerous goods'. Ling noticed Zhuge Xun's expression, too, it is difficult for ordinary outsiders to accept this 'perverted' regulation of the second circle.

"Actually, the clothes that people wear are also very special." Ling continued.

"All the clothes are made of new silk, the silkworm that produces this silk is through the association's biotechnology institute strictly selected high-quality ordinary silkworm and spider genes through laboratory reorganization to create a kind of 'silkworm spider' organism, in the latest synthetic biosteel molecular formula implanted in the 'silkworm spider' genes, this adult 'silkworm spider' spit out silk is extremely hard, and can be shaped at will, its hardness can avoid one or two ordinary bullet attacks. Clothes made of this silk can be said to be the strongest self-defense clothing.

This kind of silk is not only used in two circles, almost all protective rings are made of this kind of silk to make clothes, and the life of a piece of clothing from the factory to the time it cannot be worn is about two years. Although they are all used, there are only two circles of this silkworm spider raised in large quantities, perhaps because silkworm spiders also like the fresh air and the most primitive nature.

The government of the second circle changes the clothes and styles and redefines the colors for the people in the circle every two years. Moreover, the clothes of the second circle must be inspected by medical institutions before leaving the factory, and washed with special solutions, which have the functions of self-checking various indicators of the human body, adjusting the temperature of the human body, and crisis alarm.

I forgot to mention that in fact, in the second circle, people's medical care is free, and the government of the second circle will conduct a physical examination for every resident of the second circle every once in a while to ensure the health of everyone.

In the second circle, there is a unified laundry office, clothes can be washed once every three months, and there is a unified garment factory.

By the way, it's Thursday, so it's dangerous, and you're going to be hungry if it's Sunday. Ling remembered an important thing.

"What do you mean by that?"

"In fact, the diet of the second circle is also strictly controlled. Pude is really ......

The second circle stipulates that all people living in the circle, whether they are foreign or indigenous. 1, 3, 5 vegetarian food, 2, 4, 6 meat food, every Sunday is the 'purification day', except for children under the age of 10 and the elderly over 130 years old can eat vegetarian food, other people can only drink special nutritious water. The original residents have become accustomed to it, but outsiders do not know about this kind of rule, and even if they do, there is no way to violate it, because there are only four large state-owned supermarkets in the second circle, which supply different ingredients on different days, and you can't buy anything that you want to eat that day.

So we're lucky to have a 'good' meal today. "Only this point Ling disagrees with Pude's management." Therefore, in the second circle, except for the unified garment field, supermarket, and means of travel, all other private enterprises are considered illegal and will be eliminated, and once it is found that they are manufactured and sold without permission, they will be expelled from the second circle. ”

"This is too ......" Zhuge Xun didn't understand why such an authoritarian second circle was called 'Taoyuan Township'.

"Excessive?" Ling understood what Zhuge Xun meant.

"The work of the people in the second circle can choose to go to the garment factory, the order manager in the circle, the supermarket, the silkworm farm, the farm and the botanical and botanical garden that we are about to visit. Of course, no matter where you choose, you will be paid the same. This is issued by the government.

Of course, for private entertainment, you can go to the central square, where all the entertainment programs approved by the government are concentrated. Moreover, the four-dimensional screen in the central square reports in and out of the circle in real time, so that people in the circle can know the major events happening in the circle and the world outside the circle.

In fact, it is precisely because of the militarized management of the second circle that there are almost no disputes between the people, and there will be no commercial competition, clothing, food, and transportation are regulated, and people have no other consumption and comparison, so even if they live in the circle, people get along very harmoniously.

Isn't this the ideal 'Taoyuan Township'? If this were the case in the rest of the world, there would be no hunters, and the government would be much easier. ”

"What is the source of the second circle?" Zhuge Xun doesn't think that the second circle is all self-sufficient.

"Because the ecology of the Second Circle is the most well-protected in the world, the state-owned income of the Second Circle generally comes from foreign tourists, and the food export and export of silk in the Second Circle. Then all the state revenues are then put into the state treasury and the remuneration of the people after the accounting of the second circle of government. As for how to calculate, it's not something we can know. ”

"Do the people of the second circle also think that this kind of life is good?"

"Don't you pay attention to the expressions on the faces of the pedestrians on the road? Everyone loves the second lap. And the atmosphere you feel here is not something that you can feel anywhere else in the world, doesn't that mean anything? ”

"That'...... Ling, do you really think that's good? Zhuge Xun asked Ling.

"What you want to say, I know and understand. Because of this management, the development of the second circle is lagging behind that of the other circles. The people are accustomed to comfort, to peace. But isn't that bad? At least there is no need to be hungry like a 'civilian area', to worry about their lives, and not to be as hierarchical as other protective circles, and people are happy and away from war. ”

Zhuge Xun didn't refute Ling's words because he was also entangled in this issue. The life of the people in the second circle is the life that everyone yearns for, there is no war, there is no poverty, there is a rich life, but this kind of life is terrible for the world, people will not think about the future, think about change. I have experienced many dynastic changes, and whenever I see people suffering or someone dying, I fantasize that there will be an existence like Erhuan, but the world is advancing and evolving in this pain, and there is this kind of world today. Even if it is a bad side, if people can continue to change, the world may change to a new side, and isn't it true that I am working towards the good side?

But when I saw the management of the second circle, I really didn't know what to do? What do you want to make the world look like?

"We're here."

Ling's words summoned Zhuge Xun back from the entanglement.

"Where is this?" Is there a mountain in front of Kaoru's eyes?

"Although the development of the second circle is backward, in terms of the protection of the natural environment, the ecology of the second circle is the best protected among the ten circles, and there are many people who come here for sightseeing. This is the second circle, no, the largest botanical and botanical garden in the world that I just mentioned. Almost all the world's flora and fauna are located here, and it is also called the 'Last Ark'. Ling and Zhuge Xun got out of the car and came to the gate of the park. Ling pointed to the branch map of the park and showed it to Zhuge Xun.

"The whole garden is divided into four parts, which are:

The flower area, which is filled with small flowers and plants, and some endangered rare plants;

Forest area, forest area is divided into 'shallow forest area' and 'deep forest area'. The 'shallow forest area' is the common tree species, which is together with the 'feeding area', and the 'deep forest area' is the rare tree species and the tree species that are more than 100 years old, and the 'wild area'.

The breeding area is where small animals live. Small animals refer to animals that do not do much harm to humans. Give them a certain space to move around and be able to visit.

The wild area, which is the living area of some predators, endangered species, is adopted free-range and refuses to enter non-staff.

It takes a week to visit the other three areas except the wild area. It is free for insiders, and you can use your personal identification card to enter and leave the park at any time when it is open.

For foreign visitors, one ticket is not limited to the day, as long as it is the opening time of the park, you can enter and exit three times.

Whether it is a person in the circle or an outsider, entering and exiting is subject to strict inspection.

The entire Botanical and Botanical Garden occupies half of the land in the second circle, and it is also the pride of Pude and the pride of the people of the second circle.

It's late today, the park is about to close, and Pude is already waiting for us at home, so let Pude be our guide one day, so that you can have a good visit. ”

"Well, it's not easy for him to preserve such a botanical and botanical garden." Zhuge Xun admired from the bottom of his heart.

"I'll take you back to Pud's house, and the people in their family are very hospitable."

"Hmm."

Ling and Zhuge Xun got into the car and left the Botanical and Botanical Garden, heading towards Pude's house.
