Chapter Ninety-Nine: A New Life (3)
The good side is, of course, the large population base of China, the easy production of high-quality talents, and the low cost of intensive labor.
There are also many downsides, relative to the limited land, the more the population grows, the more scarce resources per capita.
Since the beginning of the new century, there have been three problems that have been particularly serious, and they have even been called the three mountains that weigh on the heads of the masses in the 21 st century, namely, medical care, education, and housing.
Medical problems will disappear completely with the use of treatment chambers and treatment equipment.
But what about the millions of health care workers? And when a new economic system is not built, how to deal with the large number of unemployed people caused by the wave of closures of healthcare-related industries? How to deal with the social contradictions caused?
There is also education, Chen Qingyun looked at the investigation report in his hand, the phenomenon of educational injustice has intensified since the beginning of the new century, and a very typical example is mentioned in the report.
When the investigator visited, he went out to eat at night in a certain place, and on the side of the road, a teacher held a mobile phone and openly declared, "Should you apply for a high school or a high school, it doesn't matter if you don't do well in the exam, I will come to find someone, but it costs money, why don't you spend money now, right?" β
During subsequent visits, the investigators found that this kind of thing was caused by the scarcity of educational resources.
There are good and bad schools, and it is natural that everyone wants their children to go to a better school, but the school also has difficulties, no matter how good a school is, its teachers are limited, and the number of fresh students it can accept is also limited.
Various methods have been introduced to solve this problem, and the most common and fair one is undoubtedly the exam.
But as in the previous report, this malpractice has given rise to a whole chain of interests, with parentsβ teachersβ schools β officials in charge.
Layer by layer, it is shocking to study it in detail.
Although China has a large land area, there is still a lot of land suitable for building houses after removing deserts, plateaus, hills, and other land that is not suitable for building houses.
However, the overall trend of urbanization has led to a high concentration of population, which has led to a shortage of housing in some areas, a serious imbalance between supply and demand, and some interest groups with ulterior motives secretly pushing it, which has led to the strange situation that decades of savings cannot afford to buy a house.
The above three problems, it is not difficult to find in detail, that is, the scarcity factor is at work in it.
The solution is actually very simple for today's HX-1 administrative district, which is the interstellar colonization project and the virtual world project.
The two plans, one bright and one dark, are laid out in harmony.
Needless to say, the interstellar colonization plan is the most important thing in this virtual world plan.
Quantum communication technology, brainwave neural control technology, and cyborg technology have combined to give birth to a wonderful plan, which is the virtual world project.
The human body lies in the treatment chamber to survive, and the brain waves remotely control the actions of the cyborg through quantum communication, so as to reduce the damage caused by the development of the parallel universe.
The name is all set, and it's called "Endless Journey".
After reading several reports, Chen Qingyun signed the word "Virtual World Project" with the word "Consent to it".
ββββββββββββββββββ
It's been almost seven days since the last time Chu Xue wanted to pull Li Huimu to participate in the interstellar colonization and was rejected, and to be honest, it's really lonely without that noisy Chu Xue.
'Knock Knock'
"Xiao Mu! Open the door! β
"This is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here? I can't help but think. Li Huimu muttered and walked over to open the door, and as soon as he opened the door, Li Huimu was stunned, "You?" β
Chu Xue was dressed in a black close-fitting uniform, with a blue planet printed on his armband, and a sign on his chest with his name written on it.
Chu Xue put down the package he was carrying, stepped forward and gave Li Huimu a big hug, "Xiao Mu, I signed up for interstellar colonization, and I'm going to gather for training today, I'm here to say goodbye to you." β
Li Huimu sent Chu Xue downstairs all the time, watching Chu Xue get on the special bus and stand on the side of the road without saying a word for a long time.
In fact, Li Huimu had long expected Chu to make this choice, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden, and when he returned to his residence, Li Huimu sat in front of the computer in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
'Di Di Di'
Clicking on the information prompt, you can see the news headline in red and bold high to the top, 'The era of virtual online games is coming, are you ready?' β
Li Huimu pursed his lips disdainfully, "Title party!" I clicked on the webpage with a bad mouth.
When I went in, there was a video, and when I clicked on it, I saw the serious appearance of the press spokesman.
Li Huimu rolled his eyes and was about to fork off the web page, when he heard the spokesman speak, "It took 20 years for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop a virtual network platform, which is a new communication network based on quantum technology, which is faster, more convenient and more real......"
Chen Changming sat in the highest conference room and watched the broadcast video, and said to the few people in front of him, "In the future, fighting a war will really be like a game." β
The three archons were there, and they all laughed.
After everyone finished laughing, Chen Changming spoke up to get down to business, "I intend to reduce the current functions of the Dragon Shadow. β
The three archons listened to Chen Changming's words, and their faces showed surprised looks.
"The Dragon Shadow can be a guardian, a pioneer, but he can't be the helmsman." Chen Changming closed his eyes as he spoke, only he knew that the origin of the 'mysterious luminous body' in his mind had always been a thorn in his heart, and he was worried every day before going to bed, worried that it would no longer be 'Chen Changming' who would get up the next day.
For this reason, he is greedy and reckless, seizing one black technology after another, and vigorously promoting the civilization upgrading plan, all based on this consideration.
If Chen Changming becomes the helmsman, what will happen if he is 'replaced' one day?
But for the current Dragon Shadow, the 'Mysterious Luminary' is still an unfathomable and unknown existence.
What is its energy system and why is it so efficient for energy? What is the principle of its positioning, and why can it directly open parallel universes through so-called pheromones? What is its existence and what is its purpose?
A series of questions are imprinted in Chen Changming's mind all the time, this problem can only be borne by himself, and it is useless to say it except to make more people worry.
Temporarily putting aside the worries in his heart, Chen Changming opened his eyes, "Before we can locate the coordinates of the parallel universe, the closer political structure will not be considered, and each administrative region must maintain its own independence in case of accidents. β
"But the current strength of the Dragon Shadow is beyond the scope of a semi-independent military department." Chen Changming bit the word 'department' very clearly.
HX-2 Archon Mao Yan asked him, "Then what are you going to do?" β
"Dismantle the War Department." Chen Changming replied word by word.
The official founding of the ruling HX-3 immediately shook his head, "I don't agree!" In any case, the Dragon Shadow Headquarters is in another parallel universe after all, and it is necessary to maintain enough military strength for mobilization! β
HX-1 Archon Chen Qingyun also nodded and said, "Yes, the positioning of the Dragon Shadow is there, and the reduction of any department will make the Dragon Shadow's functions unbalanced, so I think the reduction will be enough." β
After listening to the opinions of the three of them, Chen Changming said calmly, "As a subordinate organization affiliated to the Pan-Universe Huaxia Alliance, Dragon Shadow cannot and should not have the power to start a war, and my power is too great and there is no restraint at all. β
The three consuls frowned and fell into deep thought, and after a while, Mao Yan spoke, "Then let everyone here set up a coordinating committee!" Dragon Shadow is directly under the Commission and still retains the Ministry of War, but the big move needs to be submitted to the Commission for authorization, so how about that? β
Chen Changming nodded, "I agree." β
Fang Jianguo and Chen Qingyun glanced at each other and agreed to this compromise method.
As a result, Long Ying began to accept the supervision of the Coordinating Committee, and Chen Changming also resigned from the post of Minister of War, and stayed at the Dragon Shadow Headquarters for a long time as a member of the Coordinating Committee, still in charge of Long Ying.
ββββββββββββββββββ
Just when Chen Changming and others decided to set up a coordination committee, Li Huimu received the so-called 'landing warehouse'.
"998 free shipping, there is still 900 government subsidies, this is a free gift!" Li Huimu looked at the sci-fi landing warehouse and was deeply shocked.
Li Huimu was not the only one who was shocked, after receiving the landing warehouse, some technical people carried out various experiments, burning, hammering and even directly pouring sulfuric acid, and also brought liquid nitrogen, and finally frantically hired people to carry the landing warehouse, found a sparsely populated place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and pushed the landing warehouse off the edge of the cliff.
At the end of the video, the smooth landing chamber seems to be exuding holy light all over its body.
Li Huimu, who watched the video, said, what are you waiting for, buy it!
At this time, Li Huimu stood in front of the landing warehouse, and according to the prompts on the manual, Li Huimu pressed the start button after turning on the power.
"System self-test ......"
"Detected that the user has not been bound, yes/no to start binding?"
Li Huimu nodded yes, and then followed the voice prompts to lie down in the open landing warehouse.
"DNA data extraction... Fingerprint data entry... Retinal data scanning... Sound data acquisition... Binding successful, yes/no login to the virtual platform? β
Li Huimu said tentatively, "Yes." β
"Nerve link preparation, please keep the posture steady."
Two robotic arms poked out, flexible like human hands, and pasted something on Li Huimu's body.
"Neural link activation, have a great trip."
'Journey? Without waiting for Li Huimu to be puzzled, his eyes went dark and he fell asleep.
"The user is logged in, the life support system is activated, and the external environment is being detected..."
A probe sticks out of the landing bin shell, and a thin layer of fan-shaped blue light sweeps around.
"The external environment is safe, the automatic protection system is activated, and the continuous monitoring is underway... Start uploading your location..."
The lid of the landing warehouse slowly closed, firmly protecting Li Huimu.
