Chapter 160: Rachel's Observations

"Father, how did you end up on the fleet's evacuation list?"

Eating the exquisite lunch made by her father, Rachel, who had been away from her for a long time, had too many doubts in her heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the mention of this, her father Kolivich sighed and said with a wry smile: "I was taken captive by them. ”

"What?" Rachel looked surprised, unable to believe it.

"I was in the sun in my backyard that day when I suddenly burst in from outside with a couple of strangely dressed people, and before I could react, they tied me up in a car and ...... And then they were taken captive here. ”

"But why did they take you captive?" Rachel's eyes widened.

"At first, I was a little confused, but then I found out that it was because I had worked in a Russian shipyard and they kept my dossier there."

After Kolivich's explanation, Rachel understood that her father did work in a Russian shipyard, and was still the technical backbone of that shipyard at that time, and later the shipyard was acquired by the Eastern countries, and Kolivich was almost retired age, so he simply went home to spend his old age.

Who would have thought that the earth would become a mess later, and while the Earth Fleet set up an evacuation point, it would also have to evacuate some technicians to the Earth station with quality and quantity, and Kolivich was included in the list.

At that time, the staff sent by the fleet to invite Kolivich was actually very good, but due to some contradictions between the two sides, Kolivich refused to come to the Earth Fleet with them, and also confronted the personnel of the Earth Fleet with guns, and the fleet staff had no choice but to take him over by force.

"When I got here, I realized that what they said was true, and I misunderstood them."

Koliwicz sighed and continued: "At that time, I asked to look for you, but I have lost your trace due to communication problems. Later, the Earth Fleet opened for recruitment, and I withdrew to the habitation ship, until I received a notification some time ago that you and Emily had also withdrawn to the Earth station. ”

"You know how excited I was! I was about to contact you, but was stopped by the fleet management, seemingly fearing a bad repercussion. Kolivich also understood the concerns of the fleet management, and if he spoke to Rachel on the phone and the news leaked out, it would inevitably cause some adverse effects.

Others would think that Rachel was able to enter the Habitation Ship because of her father. Although it is true that technical personnel of Koliwicz's level enjoy preferential treatment in some aspects, they do not have the same treatment as early scientists in terms of evacuation candidates.

Rachel and Emily were selected for the evacuation list mainly because the fleet management wanted to reconcile the ratio of men and women in the fleet.

Since this evacuation is based on the arrival at the evacuation point, the difference between men and women is very obvious, and the proportion of men and women who finally successfully reach the evacuation point is very different, so the personnel who enter the inhabited ship are naturally more men than women, which is a very unstable factor for a fleet that is going to drift for a long time.

This matter has attracted the attention of the Civil Administration Committee, so the 20 million people evacuated in the last two batches have actually been planned to move closer to women.

Coupled with the fact that Rachel is the mother of an eight-year-old child, children have always been the first to evacuate from the fleet, so Rachel naturally hopes to pass the selection.

Rachel nodded, understanding what had happened, but she was a little curious about what was so special about her father, and why would the Earth Fleet not hesitate to "kidnap" him?

"Father, what the hell did you do in the shipyard?" She couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just responsible for drawing design and shipbuilding!" Kolivich looked stunned and said reluctantly.

Rachel noticed something odd and asked, "Merchant ships?" Or tankers? ”

"None of ......"

"Is it a cruise ship?"

"Not really."

"What the hell is that?" Rachel was puzzled, knowing that the shipyard where her father had worked was a large one, and that it was not enough to produce small boats like ferries.

"Actually, there's nothing to hide now." Kolivich shook his head, raised his head and said: "What I designed is that the nuclear submarine ......"

“……”

Rachel was stunned, this finally understood why his father was "invited" to the Earth station, the person who can design the drawings of the nuclear submarine is also a master, although he is a little older and has retired at home, but he also has his value.

Rachel was amazed that as his daughter, she knew nothing about her father's work!

How could a retired talent like Kolivich let go of the Earth Fleet!

At the beginning of the general evacuation of the fleet, Kolivich had been included in the special evacuation list of the fleet, but during the evacuation process, Kolivich thought that the other party was sent by a hostile country to let him cooperate with the "technology output", which caused some contradictions.

"Okay, little Rachel, I'll take you and Emily around after dinner to get acquainted with the surroundings."

Koliwicz digressed from the topic with a smile, and judging by his words, it was clear that he was already quite familiar with his surroundings.

Half an hour later, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked down the small street of the living ship.

At this time, the habitation ship presented a busy scene, full of new occupants. It's lively, but there's a kind of unsociable depression.

In fact, Kolivich is qualified to live in a first-class residential ship, and the environment there is much more relaxed than here, but considering that his daughter and granddaughter are here, Kolivich finally took the initiative to apply to come here.

Anyway, even if he wants to work, he is also engaged in mental work, which can be done through the platform built by the interconnected nervous system.

"Little Rachel, the building in front of you is the food supply station set up by the fleet, where everyone can get enough food for a day every day, and of course they can also receive a week's or even a month's amount at a time."

Koliwicz pointed to a roundabout-like building ahead, with rows of windows, somewhat resembling ATM consoles.

"In addition, vegetables and fruits, these are quotas, of course, we can also use the money to buy some things other than staple food, but now there are only official shops set up by the fleet, and in the first-class residence ship where I used to live, the commercial activities there are already very strong."

"Can you still open your own store?" Rachel was a little surprised.

"Of course! The fleet encourages residents to start their own businesses, otherwise it will be too expensive to manage if they rely on the fleet officials to do everything. "Kolivich is like a game NPC that guides newcomers, constantly introducing his daughter and granddaughter to everything about the fleet.

A habitation ship is a normal living circle, there is a place to live, a place to consume, and there must also be factories for the production of various materials. In addition, schools, hospitals, government halls, canteens, shops, transportation systems, and other things that are closely related to life must be equipped in the living ship.

In Koliwicz's introduction, Rachel gradually got an initial impression of the system implemented by the Earth Fleet.

At present, the common settlement units within the fleet are currency and credit, of which currency is a unit that can be freely traded, which is uniformly included in the supervision of the fleet's central bank, and there is only one bank in the entire earth fleet, that is, the central bank.

Credits are incorporated into the civil administration system under the Civil Administration Committee, and credits are not tradable, they represent the quality of a person in the fleet!

A high credit point means that this person has made a great contribution to the fleet, and the corresponding various quotas will also be increased, a bit like the authority in the Academy of Sciences system. It's just that the authority corresponds to the official personnel, and the credit points correspond to the ordinary people.

The fleet encourages everyone to establish a normal business circle and support everyone to start a business, so if an individual needs to borrow from the central bank, he can use credit points as a certificate guarantee, and basically can overdraft the corresponding amount. However, the risk is self-controlled, in case the loan is not repaid, and the bad debts of the bank are formed, which will eventually act on the credit points, and his credit points will be cleared, and this person can only start all over again.

And once it is found that it is maliciously withdrawing cash from the central bank, then it will slide to a negative value while the credit point is cleared, and the negative value is the credit point corresponding to the criminal, then what awaits this person will be prison life.

In terms of property, the fleet will convert the property of each person who enters the residential ship, and how much property they have on the earth will also have corresponding property in the earth fleet, but the proportion of conversion is different in all walks of life.

This is easy to do among the evacuees of the six major powers, because countries such as China and the United States have long established complete databases, and they only need to enter those databases into the database of the fleet.

As for those who came in later, many of them did not have databases, and then the fleet needed to retrieve their information, and if they had deposits in the international banks opened in the six countries, it could be converted.

But for people like Rachel, who have neither databases nor deposits in the international banks of the six countries, the Earth fleet will have to issue them a base currency.

These base currencies are a conservative wealth value calculated by Thea, and after receiving this money, people can carry out their normal lives, but they are only enough for the first year, and if there is no work income to support them, then they may eventually fall to the point of receiving the minimum guarantee issued by the fleet every month.

The minimum standard set by the fleet was low, so low that it was only enough to exchange for monthly food and some simple necessities. In other words, if the person is not motivated, then his life will be very poor.

And in order to deal with the lazy, the fleet stipulates that if you don't work for a long time while receiving obstacles, your credit points will be slowly deducted. Once the credit points drop to zero, then there is no minimum guarantee left!

This is to tell everyone with practical actions that the Earth Fleet does not raise idlers!

……

Next, Kolivich took Rachel and Emily to visit schools, kindergartens, community clinics and other institutions near the residential area, but these institutions were not officially operating at this time, and seemed deserted.

"Ah, Rachel, what a coincidence, to meet you here!"

After strolling around for a while, and just as she was about to go back, Rachel met the Rebrapu family, who had apparently also come out to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Rachel saw a young man about the same age as Rebrap by Rebrap's side, presumably Rebrap's brother who worked in the Earth Fleet.

"Ah, Professor Koliwicz, hello hello!"

When the young man saw Koliwicz, he was very enthusiastic. (To be continued.) )
