Chapter XVIII
Two weeks passed quickly, and with each passing day, the appearance of the base changed.
Six 500,000-kilowatt nuclear power units were moved out of the long-dusty warehouse and regained light and heat; The factory, which had been abandoned for many years, was also reopened.
The peak electricity consumption of the entire base has even reached 10 million watts, which is equivalent to one-half of Shanghai! You know, Shanghai's population is 20 million, and here it is only 50,000!
The vast majority of the electricity is used for industrial production, and the railways that extend in all directions are running at full capacity almost all the time. High-speed trains continue to carry tens of thousands of tons of titanium ore, uranium ore, iron, combustible ice, silicon and other minerals.
Within a few hours, these minerals are turned into a wide variety of raw materials that can then be put into new production.
Watching the work in his hand gradually become formal, Yu Yifeng's heart was full of a sense of achievement.
To manage a base, it is not only enough to produce, but also to "people".
People are a very complex contradiction, and the 50,000 people in the base are selfless, selfish, smart, stupid, positive, and negative. For these all kinds of people, Yu Yifeng tried his best to mobilize the hope in their hearts, so that everyone could twist into a rope and join in the production.
In order to achieve this effect, Yu Yifeng wrote down almost everyone's names and prescribed the right medicine according to each person's personality characteristics. He is a superhuman, although he has a strong memory, and he is tired enough to face such a huge amount of data, but there is no way, only by working together, people can get through this difficulty.
One of those special people is the criminals in the base. The most vicious were shot dead on the day of the riot, and the rest were guilty, but not to death.
These people are very troublesome, less than a thousand in total, and how to deal with them is a big problem. Everyone in the base is a valuable asset, and the total population is just over 50,000, so you can't kill them all, right?
On this day, Yu Yifeng presided over a special meeting to discuss how to deal with these criminals.
"Now, there are two main types of crimes in our base, the first is the original death row inmates. There are also some people who take advantage of the explosion of the earth to commit adultery. Yu Yifeng stood at the front of the meeting, "We don't have so much time to make laws at the moment, but we should also discuss a simple strategy." ”
"In our Chinese words, meritorious service must be rewarded, in order to encourage capable people to work hard; Those who are guilty must be punished, so that those who are guilty will not dare to act rashly. Rewarding the good and punishing the evil are two sides of the same coin, and only when the two are combined without bias can the stability of the base be achieved and the best social effect can be obtained. ”
Death row inmates in the base have always been an unpopular group of people, and they are also a problem left over from history. On the one hand, some dangerous work is inseparable from them, and on the other hand, they are criminals who are prone to social unrest, so the number of people has always been small and kept at a thousand.
At the end of the rebellion, more than 400 death row inmates were killed, most of them involved in the riots, but more than 200 remained on their own.
"These death row inmates who keep to themselves have been tested by humanity and should be rewarded." A mechanical engineer said at the meeting: "An old friend of mine was sentenced to death for accidentally killing a man while he was on Earth. He has lived in the base for ten years, and he has always been conscientious and self-sufficient, and it can be said that it is not too much to reform himself. ”
"They have contributed so much to the base, and there is no merit and hard work, and I think that these good people should be pardoned."
The proposal was quickly adopted after discussion.
The second category is those with relatively light punishments, such as taking advantage of the opportunity to commit petty theft, etc., although these people have committed crimes, but they are all trivial, so they have fewer restrictions on personal freedom.
The disciplinary measure for them is "re-education through labor", and they need extra labor to offset their crimes.
The last category is those who have committed serious crimes during the riots, and for the felons, they must not only be imprisoned, but also have to do heavy work.
You can't kill them, and there is a shortage of labor in the base, so how can you kill them? As for human rights, who cares about this in the face of life and death......
No one will sympathize with them, not even the richest of the Madonna.
A simple meeting ended neatly.
The improvement of the law can only be carried out later, because the workload in this area is too large, and there is really no manpower.
"Captain, there's a trial of the rebel leader Calvin at two o'clock this afternoon, please be sure to attend!" When the meeting was over, such a message appeared on Yu Yifeng's mobile phone, which was sent by his assistant Miss Yuriko.
He's so busy, one meeting has just ended, and he's going to attend the next, which has almost become his daily routine now.
"It's Calvin, so I have to attend." Yu Yifeng muttered to himself, and replied to Yuriko with a message.
Yuriko is the adopted daughter of Dr. Roman, an Asian who is only twenty years old, but a top physicist. Now that a large number of physics experiments have been stopped, she has nothing to do, so she has become Yu Yifeng's administrative assistant.
From Yuriko, Yu Yifeng finally saw what it means to be a workaholic...... Except for eating and sleeping, all the time was spent working, not a single joke, no other entertainment, in Yuriko's words, "those are meaningless activities." ”
So, between two people, in addition to work, it is still work. Of course, he himself is moving closer to a workaholic......
When he walked into the courtroom, he found that more than 30 jurors had already arrived, all of whom were leaders from all walks of life.
The laws in the base had not yet been enacted, so a jury system was adopted, and a total of 40 jurors from all walks of life jointly convicted Calvin of his sentence, and Yu Yifeng was one of them.
When everyone arrived, the trial soon began, and Calvin was brought up, his face was puffy, and he may have suffered some hardships, but his eyes were still clear and his mind was intact.
Everyone looked at Calvin with complicated expressions, and some of them even recently joined the "Moon Club", and their evaluation of him was very polarized. Some consider him a prophet for the entire human race, while others consider him an outright liar.
"The suspect has been brought, and the trial begins!" The judge standing at the front tapped his gavel. Dressed in militarized attire, he read out Calvin's basic information with a serious expression.
"Defendant, what do you have to say?"
Calvin stood in the dock, he ran his hand through his hair, and said calmly, "I know what you want to ask me...... Yes, I confess, I killed people.
"I killed David in the chaos after the Earth exploded? Sen, David? Pol, and Cashivir. In addition, there are some middle-level officials who I also killed. ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience was shocked, but they didn't expect Calvin to admit it so directly.
The members of the jury pointed at Calvin and discussed with each other. David? Sen, David? Pol and Cashivir are the three senior leaders of the base, who are in charge of the base's administration, military, and economy, respectively.
The three of them died at Calvin's hands after the Earth exploded, so the entire base was out of control during that period.
In this way, Calvin's crime is great!
