【019】Arrival, the city of the future

The body glides slowly along the track. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The four of them sat in their seats and thought silently about their own business. Su Li was still sighing at the scenery outside, and Zhao Jun was sad because of his senior brother's death, and kept wiping his tears, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

"Let's go to the next station now, I'll talk later." Wu Youwei commanded.

The two students said they understood, and Su Li also nodded, I don't know if he heard Lao Wu's words, he is now curiously observing everything around him, and he has no heart to talk.

"Hehe," Wu Youwei smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's been a hundred years, there must be changes, don't worry, you will have time to understand slowly in the future." ”

Su Li nodded, still looking endlessly.

After about ten minutes along the tracks, the surrounding scenery gradually began to change, there seemed to be a market town ahead, Su Li saw that the ground began to be covered with plants, cement and man-made materials, and the outlines of some buildings began to appear not far on both sides, and several small tracks separated from Line 13 and disappeared into the darkness in the distance. Sure enough, a short time later, holograms appeared on both sides of the track, with the caption "Welcome to Gol Town!" Below is a video introduction to some of the town's customs. Su Li was watching with relish, but the body entered a closed space and stopped in the corridor, which was marked with the words "Gol Station" on one side and "buffer channel" on the other.

"Come down, follow me, you two hold him, don't look around." Wu Youwei opened the door, beckoned Su Li to go out, and then instructed as he walked, "Xiao Zhao, remember that the identity recognition system is your graduation project, do you remember the test password?" ”

"123." Zhao Jun said, "But this password should have been changed a long time ago, right?" ”

"Not necessarily, these guys only know how to use it, how do they know what password to change." Wu Youwei said.

After walking through a buffer passage, several people came to a place similar to a toll booth, where a duty officer was dozing off behind the window.

"Hell!" Wu Youwei scolded in a low voice, "They canceled the identification system and actually arranged someone on duty, and there are people coming to this broken post, is the employment pressure already so great?" ”

"Doctor, what should I do?" Zhao Jun asked.

Lao Wu thought for a while: "Su Li, pretend to be seriously ill." ”

Su Li nodded, drooped his head, closed his eyes and pretended to be sick.

Lao Wu walked to the window on duty, knocked on the glass gently, and waited for the officer on duty to rub his eyes before he spoke: "Excuse me, comrade, several of us are from the Huawei Group scientific expedition team, in distress in the desert, this investigator is seriously injured and needs to rush to the city immediately for treatment, can you arrange an emergency carriage?" ”

When the attendant heard that it was from Huawei Group, he quickly opened his eyes wide, and sure enough, he saw several people with Huawei's logo on their protective clothing. ”

"4 bits. There was one wounded. ”

"Understood, the expedited car will arrive in 5 minutes, do you need medical staff?" The officer on duty asked.

"No thanks!" Lao Wu responded politely.

After a while, a shuttle-shaped carriage more than 10 meters long sped in, and several people entered the carriage and sat down. But I was surprised to find that there was a waitress in the carriage, helping a few people arrange seats, serving tea and water, etc., perhaps because I learned that a few people were from Huawei Group, and the waiter was very careful when he spoke, and he couldn't hide his admiration and envy in his eyes. The waitress looked to be in her 20s, nimble and diligent. But for highly automated trains, this attendant is obviously redundant. After some conversation, I learned that many people in China have not worked recently, so they can only use this way to relieve the pressure of employment. When it comes to remuneration, wages and other issues, Lao Wu and waiters all mentioned "contribution points", Su Li only learned after asking that after the establishment of HLDC, the currencies of various countries were gradually abolished around the world, and the electronic currency of "contribution points for human survival and development" was uniformly adopted, referred to as "contribution points". At present, contribution points have been basically popularized around the world, and most occasions say that money refers to contribution points, and in the past, all the currencies of various countries have entered the museum.

After that, Lao Wu sent the waiter to the room to rest. The waiter was very well-behaved and knew that the guests had something to discuss, so he walked into the room at the back of the car and locked the door.

Lao Wu breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the name of Huawei Group works, otherwise it would be troublesome if you are required to register." ”

The configuration in the car is somewhat similar to the shuttle in the base, and the path settings after that are basically the same, but the windows of the carriage are closed after starting, and the difference can be seen from the path and speed display on the front information panel, the speed of this carriage has reached more than 2,800 kilometers per hour, which is still the average speed, including the time of acceleration and deceleration, it only takes 20 minutes from here to Wuqi City, Su Li can't help but sigh after looking at it, this is an airplane or a train!

The acceleration process is short, with a slight discomfort for a dozen seconds, but it can be tolerated. After the train stabilized, Lao Wu stood up and walked to the phone room to make a call. When he came out after making the phone call and asked about Su Li's physical condition, he found that the emotions of the two students were a little wrong, and then he realized that he had taken care of one thing and the other along the way, and such a big thing had happened, and he didn't take care of the feelings of the two students. So they began to comfort the two. By the way, I asked the two students what they thought about the future, and they said that they all listened to the teacher's arrangement. Lao Wu nodded, indicating that it must be properly arranged.

Su Li found that Lao Wu was very good at analyzing people's psychology and how to enlighten others, and the morale of the two students obviously rebounded.

What makes Su Li strange is his own emotions, so many incredible things have happened along the way, he has experienced life and death, and killed people, but he is very abnormal and does not feel too much, and the mood swings can quickly calm down, as if nothing matters. Su Li secretly thought that there was nothing wrong with being a calm brother, so he was relieved.

That's it, it's good.

At this time, the train began to slow down, and the sound of the station was sounded - the city of Wuqi had arrived!

It's fast! This was Su Li's first feeling. More than a thousand kilometers away, it seems to have arrived in the blink of an eye. The train was still coasting, the windows were already open, and the lights were immediately reflected in.

Su Li looked out curiously, and immediately became dumbfounded—this is Wuqi City! This is the city of the future in 100 years!

Lamp! I saw a lot of lights, and it was a sea of lights. Su Li felt that he had entered space, into the interior of the Milky Way, the surrounding lights were densely turned, and under the cover of the night, he could not distinguish the size of the distance, which looked messy and colorful. When you look closely, you can see that the lights outline the buildings one by one, and it immediately feels like they are staggered.

What attracted Su Li's attention the most was a huge building like the Optimus Pillar, because it was night, the details of the building could not be seen, but the outline outlined by the lights was already moving. The building stood quietly in a sea of lights, the lights in the city were already very dense, but the lights on this building were even more dense, as if a brilliant nebula suddenly appeared in the center of the Milky Way. The front of the building is in the shape of a tower that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and its sides can be seen as the train glides, and the building seems to be composed of many tower-like sheets, and from a distance it looks like a complete skyscraper that has been cut into many thin slices with a knife.

Su Li was counting the number of those flakes, and Wu Youwei was interested in seeing him, so he leaned over and explained: "That building is Charlotte No. 3 City in the City, designed by the famous architect Benz Charlotte, consisting of 21 'piece buildings', each 'piece building' has 32 vertical blocks, and the whole building can accommodate 450,000 people. ”

"450,000 people!" Su Li exclaimed, "Just this building? ”

"No way, in the past 20 years, the land area of China has been greatly reduced, and the land won through the simulated war has basically been lost, and the internal migration of a large number of immigrants has led to a serious overpopulation of China, so major cities have developed such behemoths to accommodate the excess population, and there are 3 such urban cities in Wuqi City."

"It's horrible...... No! I mean, it's shocking! Su Li sighed.

"In fact, this is also a last resort, and there are some poor people living in it." There is nothing to do.

"Poor man?"

"Yes, urban land is limited, can only use the sky, but too high living space will lead to people's psychological panic, now the commonly used solution is multi-storey urban space, but the resettlement time is too tight, multi-storey urban space in Wuqi City is difficult to achieve in a short time, so this special method was adopted. The interior of the building uses artificial force fields, and the sides of each 'piece building' are designed to simulate the ground, and the people living in it must wear special force sensing clothing at all times, and they all stand 'horizontally' against the artificial force field. ”

"Wow!" Su Li sighed while imagining the living conditions of those people inside the building.

"Although this solves the problem of panic at height, it creates a lot of other problems." Wu Youwei continued to explain, "For example, the problem of sense of direction, the people inside are basically isolated from the outside world, and they can have a wrong sense of direction if they stand 'horizontally' for a long time, and if they want to come outside, they must enter a special diving room for more than 48 hours to solve the problem of sense of direction, but there are still about 10% of people who cannot solve the problem of sense of direction disorder because of physical reasons, and can only stay in it for the rest of their lives." Moreover, artificial force fields can only imitate gravity, and many bones in the human body are still in a state of mechanical stress loss caused by weightlessness, and long-term living in them will lead to different degrees of osteoporosis and other health problems, which are very tricky. ”

At this time, the train had stopped, Lao Wu stopped no longer explaining, and when the door opened, the waitress ran out to care about this and that, and asked everyone if they needed transportation, whether they needed a tour guide or something, but they were politely rejected by Lao Wu. The little girl was unwilling, and finally chased to the door of the car and asked a few people who were not satisfied with their service. Even Su Li could see that the little girl wanted a tip or something, but she didn't have any "contribution points", so she could only turn her face to the side in embarrassment. Lao Wu was relatively single, and said with a wrist: "Little sister, I'm sorry, we have a special task today, and we didn't bring a personal assistant." ”

The little girl was unwilling to say goodbye to everyone. Their line of work is only a temporary position, and the remuneration is pitiful, and the main income is the tip of the guests. Today, I was fortunate enough to meet the world's No. 1 consortium, and I thought I could make a lot of money, but who knew that it was a joy.
