Chapter 82: Activity Center for the Elderly?
The car is close to the building, and it can be seen in the white night, with a large number of people coming in and out of the building.
At this time, it was the peak working season, and a large number of office workers, employees and researchers were queuing up for the elevator.
The sheer number of people in this company is evident.
Bai Ye made a simple calculation, and there were at least a few thousand people here. According to some information he saw on the official website of Huinuo Biotech, there are at least more than 8,000 permanent employees here.
And that's just for the employees who work in this building.
Not counting the R&D center, factory, and outsourcing team of various cooperative institutions.
Sure enough, the scale is huge.
A soft music erupts from inside the car, signaling that everyone has arrived at their destination.
Tang Mingyuan raised his head from the tablet, and the door opened automatically.
Several people got out of the car.
Tang Mingyuan led the way and led the three of them into the building through another door.
It's not the same as the main entrance, and there are very few people coming in and out. And everyone is dressed expensively, which is obviously the exclusive passage of the company's upper echelons.
After coming in, the two security guards saw that it was Tang Mingyuan and immediately stood up and saluted. After briefly checking the identity information of several people, he was directly released.
"Two old men, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. The responsibility of taking you on a tour of the company will be handed over to Cheng Xin. ”
After Tang Mingyuan came in, he said to the two of them, and then looked at Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin nodded hurriedly: "Leave it to me!" I'll definitely be able to! ”
Tang Mingyuan smiled politely, turned around and walked to an elevator.
Bai Ye and Ilsa didn't act rashly, and waited for Tang Mingyuan's elevator to go up before Bai Ye looked at Cheng Xin: "Little girl, why don't we go with him?" ”
Cheng Xin explained: "Mr. Tang took the exclusive elevator of the company's high-rise. Only they can use it, we can't use it. ”
Bai Ye nodded: "I see." ”
"Alright, two old men, let's officially start today's visit!"
Cheng Xin calmed down his excitement and said to Bai Ye and Ilsa with a smile.
She took the two of them and walked around the hall.
Bai Ye thought that he was going to squeeze the elevator with the company's employees. Unexpectedly, when I walked around a corner, there was actually an elevator hall with two elevators in it. At this time, no one uses it, it is empty.
Above the elevator, there is a line of small print: "Elevator for the elderly".
Cheng Xin took the two into the elevator and took the initiative to explain: "This elevator is an exclusive VIP elevator built by our company for the elderly. In the future, when you come to work, you can do these two elevators, and they are not crowded at all. No need to crowd there with those young people. ”
Both Bai Ye and Ilsa nodded in surprise.
This is something that Bai Ye really didn't expect.
He looked at the elevator, and there were many convenient projects specially designed for the elderly. It is enough to see that Huinuo really attaches great importance to the elderly.
"What kind of profit is there, in order to attract the elderly, even this kind of thing is considered......"
Bai Ye thought in his heart, he and Ilsa glanced at each other, and each could see the doubts and vigilance in each other's hearts.
The better the company's measures, the more doubts he had in his mind.
What exactly are they doing?
The elevator door closed, and Cheng Xin pressed the button on the "20th" floor.
The elevator goes up slowly, and after the twentieth floor, there is a lobby.
Bai Ye thought that there would be rows of jobs here. The eye will be the desk, office chair, and the scene of the elderly working at the desk.
But the reality was completely different from what he thought.
The scene in front of me turned out to be an activity room for the elderly.
In the hall, there are a large number of poker tables and mahjong tables. The old people sat there in groups of several and played mahjong and poker, playing happily one by one.
Many elderly people also chose to watch, standing behind and watching, pointing and pointing from time to time.
These old people play these things, and their spirit is no less than that of ordinary young people. One by one.
"One-on-two!" In front of a poker table, the wrinkled old man threw out two cards and shouted passionately. The old people who were watching around also made a commotion.
"Good card! I said I should fight like this! ”
"It's beautiful! I'll come next! ”
On another mahjong table, the automatic mahjong table is shuffling the cards, and the old ladies at the table are pushing and changing the chips on the table.
"It should have been me just now."
"If you don't come, your situation can also be considered nonsense? I'm a real beard! ”
Bai Ye called a good guy in his heart.
Good guys, these old people, all use this as an activity room?
Is it the Huinuo company that deliberately built this place like this, is this the work of the old people?
Before he could think about it, there was another loud sound of music in the distance.
Bai Ye looked a little farther away, and there was a spacious space behind the chess room. It looks like a place like an activity center for the elderly.
The old people there are doing the usual activities of the old people in the park.
Some old men are smoking spinning tops with whips, just to watch his performance from afar.
"Smack!"
The whip whipped the air, making a loud noise, and whipped on the top. The top was spinning. The old people around also made comments.
"Okay, clean, better than last time."
"This can spin on its own for at least five minutes!"
"Well, isn't that more fun than just whipping?"
In addition to these old people, there are also people who dance ballroom dances together. Music was playing on the loudspeaker next to it, and the old men and women gathered together, in pairs, and danced ballroom dances.
It could also be a two-person turn. Bai Ye watched it for a long time, but he couldn't tell which one it was.
Of course, the biggest occupancy is still the classic activity - square dancing.
The huge sound is deafening, and the old people line up in their own formation, swinging their arms to the rhythm, which is full of movement.
It's not even a group of people who are square dancing, there are several groups of people who are square dancing.
They were not far apart, and each group had a different sound and played different songs, as if they were competing for whose voice was louder, and the different songs were mixed together.
"This is also ...... It's so fun, isn't it? ”
Bai Ye looked at such a scene and held back for a long time before he said a word.
Cheng Xin said with some pride: "You see, this is the current situation of the elderly in our company going to work, basically they can sit whatever they want, and they are very happy." And the company is very supportive. ”
Bai Ye looked at Cheng Xin and felt that this little girl was a little magical.
What does such a magical picture have to do with going to work? Didn't she ever think about it herself?
Ilsa looked around at this time, but did not speak.
But it seems that she should also be shocked in her heart.
Bai Ye didn't care about Cheng Xin's side for the time being. What surprised him the most here was the state of these old people.
To be honest, many of them are not mentally like people of this age at all.
The vitality of the projects they played, it is more reasonable to say that they are twenty or thirty years younger.
In reality, most of the people who are as energetic as them are in their fifties and sixties.
White Night thought it would be a lifeless state. Everyone here is over 80 years old, and even if they have good physical care, they can't become a climate, because most people are not in good health. Playing chess quietly is good.
Even if many people can move, they are somewhat confused.
Bai Ye has been to the recuperation center and knows that most of the elderly there are in that state.
The result? The old people here are all in good spirits, at most sixty years old, and everyone is very well maintained.
In its natural state, it can't be like this.
Bai Ye thought for a moment and turned on the hacker chip.
After the [Network Access Warehouse, Network Monitoring Network Drive Type II] was opened, Bai Ye saw a lot of white light in the bodies of these old people.
According to the flow of data, it is not difficult to see that all the old people here have cyber transformation!
Everyone has been modified, and of course the parts of the body that have been modified are different. The parts of the transformation are more or less different.
Most of them are internal organs that have been replaced. There are also a small number of replacement parts such as eyes and joints.
Bai Ye knew in his heart, and finally knew why these old people could be so lively.
The parts of the common diseases of the elderly have been modified accordingly. For example, high blood pressure, blood clots and other problems often faced by the elderly have replaced blood vessels. If there is a problem with the kidneys and liver, these internal organs are directly replaced.
There are also cataract glaucoma, replacement eyes. Hydroarthrosis, rheumatism, replacement joints.
Cyberprosthetics are popularized here.
"These are all so spiritual? If I were an old man, I would never be able to. ”
Bai Ye said to Cheng Xin knowingly.
Cheng Xin smiled proudly and said: "The health protection technology of our Huinuo Biotech is the leading level in the 31st District. After you join the company, like them, you will be able to do all kinds of high-end medical care, and your body will be very healthy! ”
Bai Ye pretended to nod yearningly, but he didn't know in his heart, did Cheng Xin know about the transformation of cyber prosthetics?
I guess even if I knew, I would have seen it as an ordinary medical development.
"yes, that's good. I want to be like them, so healthy. My leg hurt before, and I haven't been square dancing in a while. ”
Bai Ye was talking nonsense, changing the subject and asking, "What about the workstation?" ”
"I don't think there's a desk here, huh? How do they all work? ”
This is the most curious thing about White Night. When the old people come here, what exactly they want to do is finally to be revealed.
Cheng Xin listened, and stretched out his hand to the other end of the activity center.
It was different from other places, there was no noise and it was very quiet. Therefore, it was subconsciously ignored by Bai Ye.
There, hundreds of long capsule-like stuff lay out side by side.
"Work in a personal sleeping pod over there." Cheng Xin said: "There are 300 in total, and these are the places where the old people work. ”
Bai Ye had some guesses in his heart.
"Work? How does this work, isn't lying in it just sleeping? ”
Bai Ye asked.
Cheng Xin smiled and said, "That's right, it's sleeping." ”
"These sleep compartments are devices used to help the elderly fall asleep, so that they can quickly fall into a peaceful sleep state. The dreams in this are what they do. ”
Bai Ye nodded secretly in his heart, it was really something similar to [Mewtwo]. If nothing else, the old people go in not to sleep, but to Mewtwo.
Seeing and experiencing everything in it will probably be considered part of their dreams.
The so-called sleep pod is actually a large Mewtwo generator.
The first thing to do is to confuse these old people. Second, the company's technology may not have reached the level of "Night City" and cannot be as convenient as "Night City".
"It's kind of interesting...... Can I go in and give it a try? ”
Bai Ye took the initiative to ask.
He wondered, was it Mewtwo?
I also want to know what the hell the hell the company is doing here. What did they ask these old people to do in Mewtwo?
Cheng Xin listened to it and naturally said, "Of course you can!" ”
She led Bai Ye and Ilsa to a sleeping pod.
White Night looked at the structure inside the sleeping pod. There is nothing special about the lying position.
He tried to lie down, only to find that his body was surrounded by a soft inner wall.
The hatch has not been lowered yet. He felt his consciousness begin to sink into a drowsiness.
White Night Alert, the feeling of this experience, is almost exactly the same as the feeling of entering Mewtwo in Jiuhua Temple.
At this time, Cheng Xin stood outside and reminded: "You have to pay attention, and you have to be careful after entering." ”
"Be careful of what?" Bai Ye looked up at her and asked.
"Beware of old people forming cliques." Cheng Xin showed a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Some old people will form gangs and even bully people inside. ”
"You just try not to provoke these old people who enter first."
After Cheng Xin finished speaking, Bai Ye was stunned.
It seems that Cheng Xin also knows that entering this cannot be a pure dream.
Who can still form a gang or something when they dream?
Moreover, these old people are all in the same place. Their "Mewtwo" is interlinked, and this is why this happens.
Is it a co-op "Mewtwo"...... It's kind of interesting.
White Night has never been in this kind of mewra. In the Mewtwo he had entered before, although Fa Ming and other monks were there, the identities of those people were all part of the Mewtwo Builders.
It's still not the same as an experiencer like White Night.
Also, there are gangs among the old people, and even bullying newcomers......
Isn't that bullying?
He didn't expect that there would be bullying in this kind of place.
Generally, bullying only exists in schools, and young people are either bad or ignorant, so they will do this kind of thing.
When it comes to the workplace, a lot of things can become obscure. And those who are bullied learn to protect themselves. This phenomenon will become less and less.
They are all over eighty years old, and they have experienced too many things in their lives, and there are such things happening?
Bai Ye asked, "Is there bullying among the elderly?" ”
Cheng Xin didn't smile anymore, and nodded with a very solemn expression.
White Night was directly happy.
Will there be old people bullying him?
He will let these old people know what real bullying is!
