Chapter 48: Terminals

In the dormitory, the lunch box that was so clean as if it had been licked was thrown into the trash, and Lu Yunzheng was looking through the information in the terminal while savoring the taste of genuine meat and vegetables in his mouth.

First bread, then real meat, vegetables, and rice, Lu Yun enjoyed the happiness that he used to be in the suburbs and may not be able to enjoy for most of his life.

And when he learned from the public information of the terminal that things like this could be eaten basically every day in the company, Lu Yun suddenly had new expectations for his life in the ether company.

Lu Yun admired, it is really worthy of the ether company that single-handedly founded the residential area, and the internal conditions are really unimaginable to the outside world.

However, there is also a question that arises in Lu Yun's mind, why did the Ether Company divide the residential area into completely different suburbs and urban areas?

The woman he met before leaving home, what she said to Lu Yun was still remembered by the latter.

Why is it that there is only one zone between M(13) and N(14) zones, but the world they live in is very different?

Lu Yun sighed and decided not to think about these questions for the time being, Lu Yun patted his head and sighed, he would not think about this kind of question in the past.

Shifting his attention back to the terminal, after a short period of reading, Lu Yun already had a general understanding of the ether company.

Although he shouldn't know too much because of the permission issue, at least he knows much more clearly than when he was in the outside world.

Externally, everything about the Ether Corporation's underground is kept secret from the outside world, and in principle, all persons who have access to information about the company's underground must be amnesticized before leaving, except for employees with a level of authority.

This even includes employees working on the surface, while those with clearance levels are largely only active underground, with the exception of the need to go out and work related to the Aether Tower.

As for why the Ethereum Tower needs authorized employees to operate, Lu Yun doesn't know, the permission level E can't see the relevant content of the Ethereum Tower, and it doesn't belong to the scope of the Field Support Department.

The authority level is more important than Lu Yun thought before, which is not only reflected in the terminal and position, but also the value of employees as an "individual" to the company.

Taking the field support department as an example, Lu Yun's current authority level is E, and the number of authority level employees who can be transferred is 4 F-level, 20 G-level and 50 non-authorized employees.

Not to mention that this is an outrageous manpower transfer authority in Lu Yun's opinion, what is even more exaggerated is that if there are casualties during the operation, in addition to the 4 F-level employees, Lu Yun only needs to provide the list and numbers.

When he was in the suburbs, Lu Yun already had a general understanding of the company's style through hearsay, and most of the regulations were because except for F-level and above employees, they were just consumables.

Thinking of this, Lu Yun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he already had a preliminary understanding of the work of the Field Support Department through Feng Ran, and in the case of going deep into the suburbs, it was indeed inevitable to cause casualties.

However, it is clearly written on this terminal that such permissions are not divided into departments, that is...

In other parts of the Aether Corporation, work that causes a lot of casualties also happens from time to time.

This really made Lu Yun a little unimaginable, what kind of danger existed within the Ether Company to make the company make such a regulation?

At this moment, Lu Yun recalled the security equipment that could be seen everywhere in the corridor, and thought of a possible answer:

Post-war anomalies.

Exiting the public information column, Lu Yun quickly opened the relevant information of the post-war anomaly, and sure enough, the information about the production of ether was introduced at the very beginning.

There are 90 floors underground in the Aether Corporation, except for the -1 floor, which is purely used for office and upper-level employees, and the -2~-90 floors are all held with post-war anomalies of various levels of danger.

The -2~-30 floors are the upper floors, the main person in charge is the section chief, and the danger level corresponding to the post-war anomaly is F-E.

Floors 31~-80 are the middle floors, the main person in charge is the division chief, and the danger level corresponding to the post-war anomaly is D-B.

-81~-90 floors are the lower floors, and the main person in charge is the minister, and the danger level corresponding to the post-war anomaly is A.

Post-war anomalies contained by the company will be weakened to varying degrees, which is why Ethereum Corporation dares to keep post-war anomalies within the company.

But that doesn't mean their escape is without danger.

Lu Yun noticed that there was an option called "Containment Breach" in the list related to post-war anomalies, and without hesitation, he immediately clicked on it.

Like its title, it is full of reports of recent post-war anomalies that have escaped from the containment unit and caused casualties, but because Lu Yun's authority is only E, he can only see the reports from the upper level.

But that's shocking enough.

"Hazard Level E: 'Noisy Nightingale', resulting in the death of 3 F-Class employees, 8 G-Class employees, and permanent deafness of 20 employees due to the misconduct of F-Class Employee Mistar (deceased)."

"Hazard Level F: 'Symbiosis', due to the work mistake of G-class employee Li Sanguang (deceased), resulting in the death of 2 G-class employees."

"Hazard Level E: 'Lily', because E-class employee Jin Hongxu (deceased) violated relevant work regulations, causing his own death, and no other casualties."

The record of containment breaches is only within three months, and Lu Yun roughly counted that nearly 10 E-class employees and more than 20 F-class employees died, and nearly 100 G-class employees died.

And the reason why these employees are dying is simple, that is, to carry out the production of ether.

Ether has a total of 9 departments, including the Field Support Department, Logistics Department, Personnel Department, Archives Department, Production Department, Medical Department, Foreign Affairs Department and two parts that Lu Yun is not yet known.

In addition to two departments unknown to Lu Yun, the most special of them is the production department.

The production department is different from other departments, except for the most basic G-level employees and the section chiefs, division chiefs, and directors at the management level, it does not have permanent employees.

The work related to ether production is completed by the remaining 8 departments in rotation, with the upper level changing once a week, the middle level changing every two weeks, and the lower level changing once a month.

However, since the two unknown departments were not set up at the upper level, the upper level was rotated by six departments.

For employees like Lu Yun, this is a job and an opportunity.

Within the company, as long as the application is approved and approved, it is able to attempt to contain post-war anomalies with a higher level of clearance than its own, but from D-class onwards, it is difficult for the company to rescue employees who fail to recover it.

But if employees want to move up their authority, it's a much faster way than just getting down to work.

For example, if Lu Yun wants to be promoted to a D-level employee, there are only two ways, one is to work in the field support department for 5 years and complete a full number of company tasks.

The other option is to request the containment of higher-risk post-war anomalies, which, if successful, can be promoted at the end of the observation period.

As for how the application can be successful, it is not explained here.

Lu Yun was suddenly curious, what kind of dangerous post-war anomaly was the George he contained?

While the list of post-war anomalies cannot be viewed with Lu Yun's permissions, the post-war anomalies contained by the employees themselves are an exception, and can be viewed regardless of permissions.

Type "George" into the search bar, and after a few seconds of waiting, the page pops up.

"'George', Hazard Class: E, Type: Memetic, Echo Type: Black, Initial Containment Location, 10th Floor, Building 10, 2nd Street, Sector N(14)."

"'George' can plant 'hints' to self-conscious living beings through touch, hearing, and vision, and then produce a false perception of self-consciousness, and then become an individual similar to George, hereinafter referred to as 'George-X'."

"When an individual is suggested by only one sense, the process of becoming 'George-X' takes about 1 week, when it is suggested by two senses, it is shortened to 1 day, and when it is suggested by three senses, it immediately becomes 'George-X'."

"The first two will be comatose after George is weakened, and have a very high chance of returning to normal, but the three senses suggest that when George is weakened, he will fall into a permanent coma or die."

After reading this, Lu Yun had an idea of everything he had encountered in his neighborhood before, and George had indeed changed his neighborhood like that through poetic exchanges.

And the two singers who died tragically should have been hinted at with three senses, so that they instantly became "George-X" and couldn't wake up the next day.

As for the others, most of them were already known by Lu Yun and Feng Ran when they went to subdue George.

For example, the way to weaken it is to remove the containment unit from all words with the word "George" with a weapon containing aether, and the higher the qualification, the stronger the ability to resist suggestion.

"I don't know if I'll meet George again in the future..."

Lu Yun muttered to himself, and then closed George's page and opened the last option, which he hadn't opened before, work arrangement.

Qi Jie asked them to read the employee handbook and the content of the terminal before, probably for the next day's work.

And when Lu Yun clicked on it, he froze, he didn't expect that this person who had just entered the ether company would be assigned to such a job:

Ether Production, Location: -12 floors.
