Chapter 208: Poor Material Life

At the beginning of 2039, Cao Chuan looked at the development report of the East Galaxy Company in the first year after the war, in which the GDP of 8 trillion yuan and the population of 6 million were undoubtedly exciting figures.

But from the deeper reaction of the figures, it will be known that their per capita GDP growth has finally slowed down, or even regressed, absorbing more ordinary immigrants and increasing the proportion of poor people within the company.

Of course, this is normal, the East Galaxy Company cannot always follow the elite route, and an appropriate ordinary population is an inevitable choice to maintain the stability of the social structure.

It's a pity that Cao Chuan noticed that if such a change in numbers is a normal phenomenon, their per capita consumption, happiness index and other indicators are regressing.

"What's going on?" He questioned.

Because of the existence of digital cities, even if macro-level statistics can only quantitatively understand what problems exist, and there is no way to qualitatively characterize the problems, through direct observation of the daily work and life of ordinary immigrants and regular employees, it is quite convenient to find the root cause of the problem.

After investigating, he soon found out that in fact, in the past 10 years, the lives of people under the control of the East Galaxy Company have not changed much.

This change is obviously not simply a vulgar concept such as making more money and getting bigger houses, but more from the quality aspect, for example, people still live in "reinforced concrete" houses, take advantage of the "ground fall" to go to work, and so on, which have been around for decades, and live a slightly progressive, but in fact it is still a traditional life.

When more people heard about the development of the planet, the first thing they fantasized about was the dream that everyone might not need to work in the future, and everyone could fly around.

Cao Chuan believes that these are dreams that will come true, and it is not a lie that science and technology change life, but because they have ordered more underlying science and cutting-edge science over the years, they have not yet entered the lives of ordinary people.

Cao Chuan couldn't help but want to say that the researchers in the research department have too weak imagination and are always engaged in simple technological progress without thinking about changing people's lives.

Of course, this is related to the previous situation, as well as the social structure of the East Galaxy Company, the intense development tasks and wars have led to the necessity of developing these aspects of technology, and the upper echelons of the East Galaxy Company are all "idealists who dream of conquering the stars and seas all day long", and it is normal for this to happen.

Although there is a mayor with humanistic feelings like Du Ji, who has a deep insight into the basic needs of the people, even in the paradise city where higher education is popular, the needs of immigrants are still some firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, or ordinary things such as eating, drinking, gambling, and living.

There are also large companies such as Tesla, Apple and other companies specializing in the production of civilian products and luxury goods to meet the needs of human beings at the material level, spiritual level, self-satisfaction needs, and entertainment needs to enter the market of East Galaxy. Their influence certainly does not cover the level of Eastern Galactic society and the level of all human civilizations.

Anyway, in Cao Chuan's eyes, how to change the world is clearly what he should do, and it is what he likes to do.

If it is said that after the development of the planet, human beings still live in a backward feudal dynasty, ordinary people will die because of the emperor's words, without any social status, and live a bad life with no food and clothing all day long; And the dignitaries and nobles have planets as their own fiefdoms, hundreds of millions of servants and maids in and out, tens of millions of beautiful ladies in their homes, and huge ships to open the way; The most important thing is that the flow of social stages at both ends of the pyramid is still completely solidified, and he does not think that such a planetary development has much significance.

"Nana, do you think it's time to enrich the material life of the people, so that they can pursue more and experience more of the future?" Including Cao Chuan, he also faintly felt the lack of material life recently, although he enjoyed the happy life accompanied by the mental model, he always felt that he was not satisfied enough, especially the exploration of Oort Cloud would take at least several years to have results, and the centaur alpha would be longer, and these years of climbing technology may not be targeted, he felt a sense of emptiness and wanted to do something.

"It sounds like a good idea, as the owner of the East Galaxy Company, since the problem of the lack of people's material life must be solved, and the master's best thing is undoubtedly to use technology to change life."

"I think that's what I'm going to do, too!" Cao Chuan immediately laughed when he heard Nana agreeing with him, he was not a politician after all, he was closer to a scientist, so he used the rules to simulate a little to make some eye-catching good things, and he could easily do many things that ordinary people couldn't do.

He licked his lips: "In the next few years, let's make the world a little more exciting!" ”

Before he could, though, he had to at least figure out what he wanted.

"Is there food, clothing, shelter and transportation?" Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are essential for everyone, and it is definitely a good choice to start here.

"What kind of change do people expect?" He recalls the science fiction novels he read when he was a child, and the science fiction games he played when he grew up, and there were often similar descriptions in them.

Nana expects to be a counselor, and as a mental model, the results of her thoughts can easily be translated into intuitive CG animations, allowing Cao Chuan to understand what she is thinking at a glance.

"Hmm... As a woman, theoretically you will understand the needs of women... Therefore, it is very appropriate as a reference. Cao Chuan said to himself.

"In addition, I also need to care about what Nana, White Lotus, and Joan of Arc are thinking in their latest minds, so that they can grow up healthily." Again, he gave himself a second reason.

Wuyue is not by his side, so that the four mental models are missing one, and there is inevitably a kind of regret, but I believe that the time is still very long, and he will have a long time to enjoy life in the future.

"Let me think about our clothes." Since Cao Chuan chose clothing, food, housing and transportation as the thread, as the main speaker, he took the lead in bringing up the conversation.

"Now human clothes are really regressing!" Nana expressed her opinion.

"+1..."Bai Lian hurriedly added, she showed her personality on the screen, "Master, look at my clothes, do you think the real world can make them?" ”

Cao Chuan glanced at Bai Lian curiously, as she said, the current human clothes are indeed a little rough, if they are outdoors, they are usually as thick as an iron box armor wrapped in a metal shell, at most slightly better than the spacesuit 50 years ago; As for the interior, the immigrants wore ordinary colloidal clothing with considerable flexibility, which was simple and more figure-oriented, but there were no design changes.

His gaze couldn't help but sweep to Joan of Arc, who was sitting on a duck, wearing a plain white slim dress, which was the favorite dress in the East Galaxy Company.

Joan of Arc noticed her master's gaze, tilted her head slightly, as if she understood what he was looking at, her consciousness was connected to the virtual world, looking at Bai Lian, her clothes were indeed much more gorgeous, her shoes were small and delicate, like countless diamonds dotted with stars, wrapped around small and delicate feet; The gravity-defying princess dress has 9 open petal-shaped fusiform tails, even when she moves, she will swing gracefully as if she has vitality, and it does not look abrupt at all; Her hair ornament is like a burning pale flame, without a concrete form, hanging from a bun that is dressed in a classical and elegant style, constantly shining.

"Joan of Arc, have you noticed? Sure enough, there are some gaps..."Cao Chuan felt after reading it, if it weren't for the habit, or the comparison, he wouldn't have realized this at all, "Your proposal is indeed a good breakthrough point, which makes me full of motivation." ”
