Chapter 670: Life is Hard
As robot factories are discovered in more and more areas, some local battles are starting to emerge!
These battles are naturally out of reach for ordinary people, but the severity of the situation is also accompanied by more and more factories being discovered, presenting a situation that is becoming more and more difficult to control!
On the fifth day, a battle broke out in a robot factory and finally spread to a surrounding city!
Several combat robots that slipped through the net escaped the blockade of the military, broke into the city, and began to massacre ordinary people!
Although the incident was quickly controlled, and the helicopter gunships sent by the military directly launched missiles and destroyed these war machines, this scene was still filmed by the mobile phones of many ordinary people and spread wildly on the Internet!
More and more people realized that something was wrong, frantically spoke out on the Internet, and even poured into the streets in reality, demanding an official explanation!
The military and high-ranking officials of various countries are also helpless about this! There are too many robot factories in those robots, and they are very hidden, many of them are disguised as ordinary manufacturing factories, and it is very difficult to find out!
And in the process of tracing, they also found that many suspected enterprise information could not be found on the Internet, including their supply chain information, procurement information, and personnel recruitment information.
In the highly developed Internet world, it is basically impossible to do all this, but this impossible thing has happened!
However, the top management is not surprised by this!
They already know about the existence of the super AI, they know that she is the master of the Internet, the entire Internet is hers, and it is not a problem for her to erase all this!
It's just that, even if they know all this, they can't do anything!
It's an asymmetrical battle!
Although they are the rulers of this planet and hold absolute power, they have lost the initiative in the network and are facing a group of robot armies who are not afraid of casualties at all, and this battle is completely unknown how to fight!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xijianli vegetable market, the flow of people.
After getting off work, Zhou Na parked her electric car and prepared to buy some food to cook at home.
She hadn't ordered takeout for a long time, mainly because it wasn't tasty and expensive.
Now everything is going up, even if you order the most ordinary noodles or rice bowls or something, it will cost thirty or forty, and if you order a little water or something, you will go to fifty!
Her current salary is in her early 6000s, and she hasn't had a salary increase in a long time. Not only that, but Zhou Na found that the bonuses and benefits that she had often given out before were also gradually shrinking.
She doesn't have a mortgage now, and she doesn't need to pay rent, so Xu Fuhai gave her the key to the house in Xijianli, so that she can save more than 2,000 yuan a month.
But even so, she still felt that life was tight!
"Boss, how much do potatoes cost a pound?" Zhou Na came to a stall, looked at the pile of potatoes and asked.
"Eight pieces of potatoes, yellow-hearted, fragrant." The owner said enthusiastically.
"Eight? I remember the day before yesterday, it seemed like it was only six dollars. When Zhou Na heard this price, her heart twitched, and she asked in disbelief.
"Sister, I can't help this, now this thing is a price a day, and my purchase price has risen by more than two yuan now, you have to let me make some money!" The boss also said helplessly.
"Then, I'll pick up two." Zhou Na said, picking up the plastic bag and picking two medium-sized potatoes.
"How much is a pound of cucumber?" Looking at the gherkins next to her, it was not bad, Zhou Na asked again.
Now the price of this dish is about to catch up with the price of meat, I really dare not buy it without asking!
"Cucumber 12!" The price quoted by the boss made Zhou Na's heart twitch again!
After thinking about it, I was still reluctant to buy it, so I bought a small piece of meat and two green peppers from the meat stall next to me.
Two greens, a small piece of meat, cost 55 yuan, and it's about the same as ordering takeout!
However, this amount is at least enough for her to eat two meals, which is still more cost-effective than outside.
rode a small electric car back home, and as soon as Zhou Na went upstairs, she saw Feng Yufeng and Zhou Linsheng blocking the stairs at the door of the stairs, as well as Zhou Xiaodong.
Her face sank.
"What are you doing here, I said I don't have any money here!" Zhou Na said coldly.
"Cortana, don't talk about it here, go inside the house!" Zhou Linsheng looked at Feng Yufeng and shouted again, and hurriedly said.
Zhou Na also knew her mother's virtue, so she immediately kept her face calm and didn't speak, took out the key and opened the door.
Feng Yufeng saw her come in with her front foot, and followed her back foot, and when she entered the house, she began to say: "Xiao Na, you are also the Zhou family, Xiao Dong's sister, you have to take care of his matter today, no matter what!" ”
Zhou Na entered the house and put the meat and vegetables she bought on the kitchen board, and when she listened to Feng Yufeng's words, she suddenly became angry.
"What else do you want me to do? Sell me and plug the hole for him? Zhou Na said unceremoniously.
"Why do you talk like that, kid?" Feng Yufeng was not happy when she heard it, and raised her voice and said.
"That's what I'm talking about! Look at what you are used to him, a person in his thirties, who doesn't do his job all day long, you know that you still treat him as a treasure, saying every day that he is so capable and so capable, I tell you, if you are so used to him, sooner or later you will be tossed to death! Zhou Na threw the kitchen knife on the board, also raised the volume, and the whole person completely exploded!
"Cortana, don't get excited, and you, can you two fight like a fighting as soon as you meet! Can you still talk well? Feng Yufeng: Did you quarrel or solve the problem? Zhou Linsheng yelled angrily.
He is not happy in his heart these days, Zhou Xiaodong owes a lot of debts, although his pension is still so much, but everything is rising, and the money that was originally enough to spend is now stretched.
Zhou Linsheng couldn't understand how a retired cadre like himself should have a very nourishing retirement life, why did it become so difficult?
"Is it because I can't talk well? As soon as she came in, she pulled a face with me, as if I owed her money! Zhou Na said angrily.
Zhou Xiaodong watched Zhou Na and Feng Yufeng quarrel, with his hands in his trouser pockets, sitting on the sofa and looking at the ceiling without saying a word.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Na became angry, pointed at him and said, "Look at him, just like him, are you still trying to find a way for him?" It's like there's no such thing! ”
"Then what can I do, who knew that there was such a big thing in the brain-computer interface now? It's not Xu Fuhai's harm! Zhou Xiaodong roared.
"What's the matter with Xu Fuhai? Did I tell you that last time? Xu Fuhai didn't put a knife on your neck, he wanted you to invest in a brain-computer Internet café, and they didn't force you to take out a loan! Zhou Xiaodong, I told you a long time ago, how much you can do and how big things you have, don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? Investing in trading, are you that material? In terms of your math score, did you get more than 60 points? You don't even understand an account, what kind of brain-computer Internet bar do you open? Zhou Na said unceremoniously.
When Zhou Na said this, Zhou Xiaodong's face was swollen and red, and he wanted to defend but didn't know what to say, so he had to sit there sulking.
"Okay, Xiao Na, you don't have to say a few words, I'll tell you directly, Xiao Dong's loan really can't be delayed any longer, my and your mother's pensions are also in it, and there is no money in your hand, now only you can help him, you can't watch Xiao Dong become an old man." Zhou Linsheng said.
"How can I help?" Zhou Na asked directly.
"Xiao Na, I heard my old colleague say in the past two days that the bank has a loan policy specifically for incumbents, and the interest rate is very low, only 2.5, and the maximum loan is 200,000, why don't you do it?" Zhou Linsheng asked tentatively.
"Impossible! Dad, you also know, I'm now living on this salary every month, and I'll spend 6,000 yuan myself, and now you ask me to borrow 200,000 yuan, who will help me pay it back? Can you help me get it back? Zhou Na refused!
"Actually, it's not much every month, just more than 1,000 yuan, and it won't affect you." Zhou Linsheng persuaded.
"More than a thousand? What doesn't it affect? Dad, do you know how much a pound of vegetables is now? How much is a pound of meat? What doesn't go up now? I now spend hundreds of dollars on plumbing and electricity plus mobile phone and Internet bills every month, and I do it at home, the simpler the better, even the fruit is almost reluctant to buy, and there is not much money left every month, and now you let me help Zhou Xiaodong repay more than 1,000 loans every month? What do you two think? Didn't you think about my life or death? The more Zhou Na spoke, the more angry she became, and her eyes were red!
"You said this too, it's true that the price of everything is going up now, but then again, if you are tight, you will be tight, and you won't be unable to eat." Zhou Linsheng said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Why? Why should I cling to him? What about him? He is in his thirties, and he is a rice worm at home every day, and he picks three or four, why don't you let him be tight! Zhou Na said unceremoniously.
"Then he opened an Internet café, didn't he also want to make money? He didn't think about losing money, but now that it's like this, he can't just ignore it! Zhou Linsheng said heavily. Seeing that his daughter didn't say anything about it, he was also angry.
"Since it's all about loans, why don't you get a mortgage?" Zhou Na hugged her arms and said unceremoniously.
"We take out loans? How do we take out a loan? Your mother and I are both so old, and the bank won't lend you. Zhou Linsheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Don't you still have a house? Use the house to mortgage! Zhou Na said coldly.
"What? Mortgage a house? Zhou Na, are you still my daughter? Can you say that? That house is for me and your dad to support the elderly, where will we live if the mortgage is out? Feng Yufeng heard Zhou Na's words, and suddenly couldn't help it, just now Zhou Linsheng gave her a look and made her hold back, she had been holding back for a long time, she had already been suffocated, and finally couldn't hold it back at this moment, and said sharply!
