Joan of Arc's rapid growth does not mean that the pioneer system will go smoothly, and in the third week of trial operation, as Cao Chuan guessed, the pioneer fraud incident they imagined really appeared.

"After investigation, the pioneer with the identity number M03153213881100551 used deceptive means to deliberately mix ordinary rock fragments into the raw ore when he asked for assistance from the East Galaxy Company, with the intention of seeking additional benefits."

Joan of Arc read out the outcome of the transaction.

"Protest!" The pioneer on the other end of the road blushed slightly and objected: "We don't know what ore is not ore, the raw ore originally contains a certain amount of impurities, is there anything abnormal about this?!" ”

"What's going on?" When the employees of the pioneer department heard the news, they asked, "Miss Joan of Arc, what evidence do you have that this pioneer has used fraudulent methods?" ”

"It's very simple... The raw ore they submitted had more than 20% of the common rock fragments mixed in it, which did not meet the standard value at all, and was not from two identical rock formations, with a clear color distinction, which would normally only occur after the completion of mining, when the second artificial mixture is completed. ”

Joan of Arc's explanation was quite easy to understand, and the staff of the development department immediately sank their faces, "Let's check it first." Speaking of the 100 tons of raw ore submitted by the forces represented by the pioneers who came to the spot-check, it was found that there was no difference between what Joan of Arc had described.

The truth is that the development department is not a charity, and for this malicious deception, a set of internal systems were created at the earliest time to circumvent this situation, modeled on the temporary law formulated by the Homestead Company for Lunar City.

The employee who came over said indignantly: "This kind of gang fraud is still being investigated again to determine who is involved, and now lock up this person first!" ”

Even with some weapons in his hand, the pioneer was powerless to resist in the face of the police who arrived in the moon city a moment later, and he shouted angrily: "You bandits, take away the fruits of our labor!" I'm going to accuse you! ”

The employees sneered: "Whatever! We won't be soft on scum like you! ”

A few minutes later, the offending pioneer was taken away, and he faced a minimum of six months of imprisonment, and it is believed that after a while, more people will accompany him.

"Thanks to Miss Joan of Arc's help, we were not blinded." Employees praise how much easier they feel because of the mental model.

Joan of Arc replied with a smile: "This is my obligation, and I hope that we can cooperate tacitly in the future." Then her voice fell silent again, and she seemed to have thrown herself into her new job.

Cao Chuan did not speak out during the incident, and was in a state of onlookers throughout the whole process, representing his approval of Joan of Arc's approach.

"Well, this kind of event is always accidental, and the exploration of the moon is still intensifying, what do you think of it?"

"I feel good, there's not a lot of pressure from 5,000 trailblazers."

"Okay, there are still two months to go, and at that time, the East Galaxy Company will start the construction plan of the asteroid belt development site, and recruit another group of pioneers in the asteroid belt to become our little brothers, and when the time comes, you will understand what it means to be busy."

"Will there be a lot of people?" Joan of Arc asked in a soft voice.

"Of course... You must know that the employees of the East Galaxy Company are all enthusiasts of super engineering, and they like to do everything in the big direction, just to explore asteroids, they plan to recruit 50,000 pioneers to participate, which is equivalent to almost 1/2 of the current population of the asteroid belt. ”

"Are you confident that you will be ready for the impact when the time comes? You must know that the situation in the asteroid belt will be much more complicated than here, and there will be many more contradictions and conflicts. ”

Joan of Arc was silent for a while: "I have faith, and I also need the guidance of my master." ”

"Don't worry, how can I say that I was the original proposer of the pioneering system, how can I be the shopkeeper?" Cao Chuan smiled, "Besides, it's really not good, I can still do some upgrades for you, now the silicon chip technology has reached a bottleneck, but the technology of carbon chips has just started, and there is still a huge room for improvement in the mental model." ”

Cao Chuan assured, so that Jeanne d'Arc felt at ease, unlike Nana and Bailian, she never felt that her master was fooling herself, or joking, but would really believe it.

His gaze returned to the map, and the only bad thing about the pioneer system was that he could only be a god forever, watching what the pioneers would do.

"I hope the Trailblazers can surprise me." He muttered, you must know that in ancient times, a similar pioneering system was also the soil for breeding heroes and great men, why didn't a few people born in the East Galaxy Company that were enough to leave a name in history?

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there is really no way to strictly prohibit the fraud of the pioneers, and the second and third cases have occurred one after another, and every time the development department has issued a warning to all employees, the pioneers with bad intentions will always have a way to come up with new ways to exploit loopholes.

Fortunately, these things did not have much negative impact on normal development, and the map of the moon changed very quickly, and when Cao Chuan stared at the map again, there were already several sub-bases with a size of 500 people appearing around the lunar city.

The sub-base is connected to the moon city by road, and there will be trade and immigration every day, and these relatively backward places rely on the products and technologies of the East Galaxy Company to grow up, which can be described as a good shade under the big tree, and the reason why there is so much population, on the one hand, is a merger, 5000 pioneers also can't get along, even if they are ambitious, at this time, they can only be low-key first; On the other hand, it is normal immigrants, and the pioneers also need a population, if all the immigrants run to the lunar city, will the sub-base of the East Galaxy Company in the wilderness have to rely on unmanned units?

It seems that a sub-base with a population of 500 is nothing, such as Bailey Crater, several sub-bases in the Iba Valley that have been developed for many years have a population of more than 2,000, you must know that this is less than 2 months, and it will become larger in the future, even comparable to a small country.

The most important thing is that when the risk is higher for the pioneers, the probability of getting rich overnight will also increase. The bosses of the four sub-bases with a population of 500 on the map have accumulated nearly 500,000 merits, and they even maintain a security team or a spaceship under their hands, which even makes the regular employees red-eyed.

"Don't be so short-sighted, do you want to know how many benefits they provide to the East Galaxy Company? Also, haven't you noticed that this kind of income is based on the exploitation of the pioneers below, and there is a high risk? ”

The positive side of things, there will definitely be a bad side, the East Galaxy Company squeezes the top pioneers, and the top pioneers squeeze the bottom pioneers, this is the special social structure maintained by the pioneer system, in fact, it is relatively pathological, there are contradictions, unlike the East Galaxy Company, and even the entire moon city, the social structure is more advanced, more harmonious, and the immigrants who popularize higher education have their own ideals, just like some small developed countries with high welfare in Europe, which is the paradise on earth that people dream of.

"The topic is a little off, the time is almost 3 months, the trial operation of the lunar exploration site has been successful, and it is time for the next step." Cao Chuan pointed to the vast asteroid belt: "We also have to support some forces in the asteroid belt and obey our management. ”
