Lucky Star 26 comes to modern times
Memphis has a population of one million cities. In fact, there are only about 800,000, and the United States is a large city with a population of 10 million, such as Washington#Sheaton, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and New York. But in the interior, the population is very small, and if you think that the river navigation conditions like Memphis are placed in the Chinese mainland, even if it does not reach the Wuhan level, it should be the Jiujiang level (four million people upward), but unfortunately there is only a population of less than one million.
This means that the living resources enjoyed by the citizens are very high, first of all, real estate, housing is a rigid demand, when the society can not meet the rigid demand, as long as one percent of the people do not have a house to live, the price will be copied very high. And in this city, the population does not reach such social pressure at all, and it is not impossible for everyone to rent a house.
There are also agricultural products, chicken, duck, eggs and meat. Agriculture needs land to support production. And in such a large city with the advantage of river transportation, agricultural materials are easily guaranteed. If there are more resources, there will be fewer social problems, as long as it is not like Detroit (blacks are not a problem, the key is to use the slogan of racial equality and non-discrimination to make blacks not reflect on their own problems and integrate into the United States with a backward life culture. This kind of inland shipping is easy to operate in large cities. It is not an exaggeration to say that America in this era is God's Promised Land.
This was not the case in the United States in Luan's time, and as the East began to compete for resources on the islands of the world, it was difficult for the mega-port cities along the coast of the United States to absorb resources from around the world. Unemployment has skyrocketed in large cities with tens of millions of people, leading to a spike in crime in cities, and the prevarication of American-style democracy cannot deal with these problems.
A large number of people have returned to the interior, resulting in the insufficient supply of social and public facilities in these second-tier cities with a population of one million in the interior, and there has also been a surge in the crime rate, and the whole United States has become dangerous. Encourage production, let the production materials be abundant, and a reasonable distribution system to solve social problems.
It is a pity that all countries and nations have succeeded in completely changing their systems after violent revolutions. America's national integration is bridged in wealth, and in times of crisis, the drawbacks of this national integration are exposed. The unwillingness to admit reality is the unwillingness of the large inherent interest groups that include not only the American plutocracy but also the large inert population that can be parasitic under democratic correctness. Therefore, the United States chose the second way, the path of resolving Japan's internal contradictions in World War II.
Lu An, who returned from the Third World War in the 22nd century, couldn't help but use the common sense he learned in political and economic classes to look back at the modern America he sees now. (For Luan, this is recent.) The post-donkey elephant dynasty era in the United States.
World War III was the era of nuclear war, when thousands of nuclear bombs attacked each other's population centers in technology, and genetic virus weapons were sprinkled to wipe out each other's races.
In space, they can fight against each other's satellites in space, in the atmosphere in the unmanned # groups of aircraft against each other, and in the ocean, deep-sea unmanned submarines hunt each other.
Just like the Chinese in the 21st century looking back at the Qing government, because the Qing government started from a low start, they obviously made efforts, but because they were lower than foreign countries, they were criticized for not being as creative as foreigners under the exam-oriented education in the 21st century.
In Lu'an's time, the judgment of the Manchu Qing was very neutral, this is a dynasty that is recognized by history as the Zhengshuo Dynasty, a minority in power, but ruled with Han culture, and the centralization of power in the Chinese imperial era to the extreme, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Western Regions were completely included in the central rule of the dynasty, the Mongols were completely "persuaded", the suppression of the rebellion of the Great and Small and Zhuo will also "admonish" the Hui people, and after directly educating the Gurkha (Nepal) on the plateau, there was no power like Tubo on the plateau. In the Western Regions, the Dzungar Khanate was killed, and in the 21st century, the Kazakhs complained like a resentful woman that the East had cut off the water supply of the rivers. In the southwest, due to the insistence of a certain old man, there is no chance for the birth of a country like Japan in the Southeast Asian Peninsula. Only with these "persuasions" can those nationalities in the west be united. At that time, the Qing did what the Age of Empires could do, and when the era entered the Industrial Age, the crises that the Qing responded to exceeded the capabilities of the Age of Empires.
In the end, the Han people were not "persuaded" by this "persuasion" method in Xinhai. The new era can be called the past barbaric backwardness. However, those who came later enjoyed the dividends of national unity brought about by such "persuasion" in the past.
Most of the Manchus in the 21st century have merged, and sometimes some Manchus' remarks are a little paranoid, but in fact, this is the small grievances of the society at that time that did not positively judge the Qing Dynasty (in the 21st century, only fools believe that the Qing Dynasty can be restored, and they are all open mouths). Although the humiliation brought by the late Qing Dynasty is indelible, it cannot be denied that the Manchus did what they should have done in the imperial era. If we think that the Qing Dynasty is barbaric, we should practice the correct method to overthrow the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, instead of picking and choosing on the shelves of past dynasties and trying to use a certain dynasty in the past to replace it. It is great to go to #republican to oust the emperor from the throne, and the history of the ascension to the throne by another emperor who thinks he is better is not highly evaluated.
People in the 22nd century have never suffered the backwardness of the 19th century, so they do not have emotional colors in their evaluation of the last dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
And now Luan has returned to the American donkey-elephant dynasty that he saw with his own eyes in modern times. But it's hard to let go.
Across the Mississippy and on the Iron Bridge. On the sparkling river, white steamers break the waves. The Pyramid Stadium in the distance shines in the sun. This is the epitome of peace and tranquility in the New World. In this era, any Chinese who came to the United States was full of hope. Because this is America.
However, the tranquility here made Lu An grit his teeth more and more the more he looked at it, God gave the people of this land time, why not use this time to solve the problem? I just want to make my own era so miserable. The more I can't figure it out, the more irritable I become. Adolescent rebellion and parental quarrels are all episodes of this emotion.
Lu An quickly realized that his emotions were out of control and patted his chest. Prompt yourself to stop. Don't think so much. Standing on a high platform, Luan began to map the city's topographies. This is the task for Luan to do now.
Everyone in the trio squad has a task. Lu An was in charge of topographical reconnaissance, while Li Sanxiang was in charge of making money.
On the crowded street, Li Sanxiang leaned against the cement wall and seemed to look at the street casually. On the streets, there were hurried men in suits, young hippies, and bald men with thick waists.
Li Sanxiang's mission was to withdraw money, and behind him, a wall behind him that the camera couldn't see, Li Sanxiang controlled the numbers in the four ATMs. With Li Sanxiang's current ability, he must press one side of the button before he can control it.
Li Sanxiang first handled several false identities, and then opened several empty accounts, Li Sanxiang's ability is now limited, and he cannot directly make money out of these empty accounts, and the financial data terminal is not on the ATM. Li Sanxiang can only transfer money from his own account in the mode of transfer. That is, when someone withdraws money from an ATM, they use the calculation to transfer an account unconsciously.
Moreover, each transfer cannot be too much, that is, the money that does not match the user's usual consumption, the bank will temporarily detain the money and wait for the user's phone confirmation.
Moreover, Li Sanxiang also found that Americans do not seem to like saving money, and how much money is used in the account, which has brought considerable trouble to Li Sanxiang's operation.
Of course, these troubles are Li Sanxiang. The positioning of Li Sanxiang's bloodline in the Yuanyi space is auxiliary. The technology-led world is responsible for making money, and the wizarding world is responsible for unlocking the code of the device.
And on the other side. Bai Lu is the leader of the owner to look at the house, this is a big house, spent, all the initial funds of the three of them. The area reaches 2,000 square meters. The price is 150,000 dollars. The environment is relatively secluded.
The white female homeowner in her 40s pointed to the furnishings in the house and introduced them one by one: "This house was built in 1983. The last owners of the house were a Kanlad couple. ”
Bai Lu dusted off the dust from the plastic bag on the sofa. He asked, "Why didn't anyone live there?" The white woman shrugged her shoulders and said, "Then something very tragic happened. Their youngest son was killed in this room, and the killer has not yet been found. ”
Bai Lu nodded calmly and didn't ask again, and said, "I want to do some renovation to this house in the next few days." Mrs. Smith, I should be able to do the work from nine to eleven in the morning and from three to five in the afternoon. ”
Seeing that Bai Lu did not continue to ask about the murder case, the community worker nodded and said, "Yes, but please follow the rules in the community." Uh, mind you, Mr. Robert nearby is a more die-hard conservative. He was racially biased. ”
Bai Lu nodded: "Thank you for the tip." ”
Americans also have a culture of superstition, and the price of this house is only one-sixth of the market price. The dead are a factor in the lower price of this house. And the space-time mercenaries don't care about this now, according to Yuan Yi's prompt, there will be drastic changes in this area in thirteen days, and it may not be uncommon for dead people to die at that time.
When Mrs. Smith was gone, she began to tidy up the empty, large, somewhat frightening house. She rolled up her sleeves like a normal housewife and cleaned the house with rags and water.
In the evening, Li Sanxiang drove a small truck carrying a large amount of steel and cement into the garage of the house, while Lu An also rode his bicycle back to the house. Had a typical American dinner, bread, fish nuggets, large portions of vegetable salad. and large bottles of milk.
Lu An looked at the table of food,
In the rehearsal, he asked, "Can you make a little braised pork, stir-fried cabbage, and rice?" Bai Lu glanced at Lu An and said, "First, I don't have time to do it, and second, our budget doesn't support it." ”
After many rehearsal inquiries, Lu An understood the differences in national conditions. Agriculture in the United States is industrially produced, and ready-made foods are the cheapest, such as chips, bread, fried meat cubes.
Of course, in Lu An's opinion, these are all excuses, cooking and washing dishes are too troublesome to deal with oil fumes. Bai Lu didn't want to do it.
In order not to create unhappiness in reality, Lu An consciously did not ask this topic. After the quiet dinner time has passed.
Li Sanxiang looked at the huge house and said, "When will the monitoring equipment purchased online return?" (It's hard for three people to control such a huge room, so you need to buy a camera, as well as a Bluetooth system, and a personal electronic device that can turn on the screen to monitor each room at any time.) )
Bai Lu said: "I will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and I will install it in two days." ”
Li Sanxiang turned his gaze to Lu An, who handed over a survey map that plotted the commanding heights, jungles, and rivers around the city, as well as the high ground with contour lines. Luan made this map after the model of a military map.
Lu An said to Li Sanxiang, who was looking at the picture: "In three days, I will use an unmanned # camera to compare Google Maps to make a sand table of the city." ”
Li Sanxiang nodded, raised his head and said, "All the building materials and equipment will arrive tomorrow afternoon, and I will reinforce this house." After you have done a good job at this stage, prepare the material procurement. ”
