When Wu Zhe got on the helicopter and looked down from a high altitude, he knew what Jiang Zhenjun meant by the encirclement.

It's not the dense crowd I imagined, but garbage, all kinds of garbage.

Because it is a high-end hibernation area, the internal and external isolation measures are very strict, and the only few access passages are set up with cards, and there are even fully sealed security gates, which, according to Jiang Zhenjun, who accompanied him, can even block the frontal fire of armor-piercing bullets. Of course, as a hibernation area, in fact there may not be a need for such security measures at all, but the dignity of the rich requires.

Now that the gates are tightly closed, there is a hill of garbage dumps outside, and several self-cleaning vehicles are constantly working, seemingly inefficient - but more people are making more garbage in the distance.

They are about the size of nearly a thousand people, around the gate of the hibernation area, in the shape of a circle, arranged in several circles, most of them look elderly, some even have white hair, almost everyone has a golf club in their hands, and next to it is a machine. At first glance, it looked like an automatic ball machine on a golf course, but when Wu Zhe looked at it for a few minutes, he knew it wasn't.

It was a garbage compactor -- the garbage entered through the entrance at one end, and when it came out, it became a sturdy, dense ball of garbage the size of a golf ball, and then the old men would comfortably place the balls under their feet and swing hard -- adding a little height to the mountain of garbage at the door.

"The police don't care?" Wu Zhe looked at the outermost part of the ring. There were still a lot of spectators applauding, and there were quite a few freight trucks coming over and unloading more things. Over there. Wu Zhe could even see a few trebuchets in being tuned - the kind that were used in the siege of the city in the Middle Ages. But the trebuchet in front of you is not made of wood, and behind the trebuchet there is a special, production line for larger garbage balls.

"I can't do it," Kang Jinjun said, turning on the camera function on his glasses, "They are disrupting public order at most...... Two months ago they just threw some garbage at the door to show their indignation. Later, I saw several of our customers playing golf, and we started to switch to the current model. It looks like they're still innovating. ”

"What do you mean you can't manage?" Wu Zhe didn't understand. "What are the police doing?"

"It's worse than ours in front of the police station...... The government is now urgently recruiting police, but not many people are interested. ”

"What about the army?" Wu Zhe felt something incredulous, he looked down at the two catapults, and the shell he had just fired even passed the safety gate of the hibernation zone. Went into the hibernation area, "Aren't you afraid of making trouble?" ”

At this time, the people below also noticed Wu Zhe's helicopter, many people raised their heads and pointed here, and many people playing "golf" were turning around.

Before Wu Zhe could react, Jiang Zhenjun had already said to the driver: "Hurry, fly higher......" Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhe saw several garbage balls flying in his direction, but the height difference was much different.

A few minutes later. Wu Zhe saw a fireworks truck appear in front of the plane, the kind he had seen at Lao Hou's beach before. A rocket launcher-like vehicle with the bazooka raised and aimed at Wu Zhe's helicopter, and the pilot quickly added, but the car had already "fired".

However, the altitude was still far behind, and dense fireworks exploded under the plane, blooming all kinds of gorgeous flowers. These explosions almost made Wu Zhe's heart jump out. But the crowd below began to cheer, and Wu Zhe even heard the shouts of the loudspeakers: "Get out of the future!" You are not welcome here! ”

Jiang Zhenjun is afraid of accidents. No matter how much Wu Zhe persuaded him, he insisted that the driver take them back immediately.

Back in the room, Wu Zhe got in touch with Coke to inquire about the "sleeplessers" and worries about the safety of the hibernation zone at the peak - he didn't want to be born again in the Netherlands.

"When it comes to security, you can rest assured that the security measures at the pinnacle are the most comprehensive in the upscale hibernation area, and those are nothing more than protests."

"Protest?" It seems that the definition of protest is different in different eras - in Wu Zhe's time, it was enough to be a crime.

"Do you remember not serving Wu Zhe's movement?" "These can be seen as an evolutionary version of this movement -- but neither the ends nor the means are the same as the original." ”

"And what is the purpose of these people?" Wu Zhe has just learned a little.

"Vent discontent, and despair." Cola paused, "South Korea's latest welfare law has almost completely deprived them of the possibility of hibernation financially...... They are abandoned in this era. ”

"You mean they have no financial resources?"

"So to speak," Coke said, "but life is not a problem, the government can meet most of their needs in life, food, shelter, entertainment...... But hibernation doesn't. ”

After all, Wu Zhe studied some economics: "Can't they exchange their food for money?" Or a place to live. South Korea's approach sounds like some kind of administrative intervention in the market, and Wu has the impression that such an approach usually fails in the face of the market.

"For whom?" Cola asked rhetorically, "These are the benefits that all citizens have...... In this day and age, these basic treatments are like air. Air is the most precious thing, but can anyone trade it for money? ”

"Maybe in space." Wu Zhe said this, but he already agreed with Coke's words in his heart, this is an era of extremely productive people.

"But why would the government do that?"

"It's not just South Korea...... Many countries have begun to develop similar plans to limit hibernation. ”

"Why? Could it be another anti-hibernation wave? ”

"No, on the contrary, this is the time when hibernation is most accepted and recognized."

"That ......"

"Be selfish," Coke said, "selfishness in the genes, but also helpless selfishness." ”

"Back at the end of the 21st century. South Korea's population structure is already very unhealthy, with an aging population of almost three people. There is one who is over 6o years old. But at that time, hibernation techniques appeared, and many people went into hibernation. There was a strong atmosphere of filial piety in South Korea, when most people had jobs and many children began to bear the burden of hibernation fees from their parents and grandparents - South Korea did not charge hibernation taxes for the elderly.

Most of that generation was born in the 6o and 7o years of the 21st century, when nuclear fusion was applied on a large scale, the era of hibernation arrived, and social changes were turned upside down. They were the backbone of that era: not only supporting the hibernation of the last two generations of the elderly, but also bearing the future of the next two generations of children - in order to create a better future for the children. Many Korean parents who are able to do so send their children to hibernation lockers with their parents.

At that time, South Korea, like Japan, was undergoing a rapid industrial transformation, and many well-known industrial machinery companies were created - industries that will continue to be the backbone of the economy of both countries in the future.

However, in the second half of the 22nd century, AI technology has been applied on a large scale. After the emergence of intelligence, the requirements for social production are getting lower and lower - in the field of industrial machines, the most critical work is to determine the behavior program, industrial programming was once a popular course in universities, but this technology was suddenly appeared AI, almost in just a few months to fly to replace - for a country, this is almost an overnight thing.

Then the good days of this generation came to an end, and they woke up, as usual, according to the company's requirements, but instead of a job. It was an interview with the company's human resources department, and some were even directly told that the company had closed down. They were only forty or fifty years old at the time, and they had twenty or thirty years of work experience. I studied the most popular major, so I looked for a job with confidence - and the results were obvious.

South Korea's powerful economic dynamics began to shut down, but by then they still had savings and basic government benefits. But the pressure of hibernation over generations, and the subsequent hibernation tax policy, has dramatically increased the cost of hibernation. Decades quickly deplete these savings.

These old men have supported the country for almost two centuries. But now, the descendants of their juniors...... Most of them are just adults, the generation with the right to vote, and they are also the absolute center of gravity of the political power of the people of this era, the hibernation era, because the hibernator has no voting rights for several years.

The times they see are different, because more and more non-hibernating old people are appearing, and the society looks getting older and older -- that's a fact, but the root cause is not really now, it's not hibernation, it's decided two centuries ago.

Although the South Korean government encourages childbearing and provides subsidies for childbirth, many people feel that it is immoral for many people to let their children continue to serve them, or even pay for hibernation, because of the strong culture of filial piety - which only exacerbates the demographic problem.

Their previous generations were bound by conventional thinking, and this generation is finally unable to sustain itself. Because they fear that if this continues, one day South Korea will turn into a complete old man country. But at the same time, they also agreed to wait until they get old one day, and not to wait for time in the hibernation cabinet, which can be regarded as the new morality of the 23rd century. ”

"Technically, with such a high level of productivity, South Korea can afford to hibernate these people, right?"

"Yes," Coke said, "but social problems are often not technical problems...... Even in terms of technical conditions, South Korea must start thinking about the way back, their country is too small, less than 10,000 square kilometers, and it is shrinking as the sea level rises, but the population has already exceeded 200 million and is still increasing, half of them are elderly. If they continue to hibernate, the situation will only get worse and worse - they have a special hibernation department and a special national hibernation plan.

If this situation continues, while encouraging fertility and maintaining a non-hibernating population in society, a large number of elderly people are allowed to hibernate indefinitely and delay aging, and soon the whole of Korea will become a huge hibernation zone.

In fact, the world's deepest hibernation zone is in South Korea, and in order to maintain a certain 'floor area ratio', South Korea's hibernation zone has always been underground, and now there is a hibernation zone more than 10 kilometers deep underground -- at that depth, the average ambient temperature is more than 2oo degrees Celsius, and cooling alone is a big expense.

It is said that the South Korean government is also planning a 2o km underground building. If this depth is not enough to meet the needs of hibernation in the future, then it may be necessary to dig through the earth's crust in the future. (To be continued) R655
