The air was filled with industrial exhaust fumes, and Song Xiang tightened his gas mask, and the wind blew, smashing on his face with gravel.

"This is a plain along the river!"

He lamented the ghost world and walked home.

The streets are sparsely populated with pedestrians, apparently not wanting to spend long in a bad outside.

There are few vehicles on the highway, either buses and rescue vehicles of the road administration, or national defense engineering vehicles and material vehicles.

They are all unmanned smart cars.

There are very few private cars on the road, because for ordinary people, they are not necessary for survival and development.

What? How do I get to work? Take the bus and subway.

I used to have classes anyway, but now, hehe, it's all at home, damn artificial intelligence.

From time to time, you can still see humanoid robocops on the streets, and even the police are unemployed.

The high social crime rate has dropped to 1 in 10,000 in a few months, thanks to artificial intelligence that will not intercede with you and act according to the law, otherwise Song Xiang would not dare to walk on the street openly, many people are crazy, snatching food stamps and food, and even worse things are repeatedly prohibited.

Walking into the building and closing the door, he looked at the camera and came to the elevator, which happened to stop on the first floor.

Walking in, the elevator started slowly, and the horn sounded a gentle female voice: "Resident Song Xiang, are you going to the 15th floor?" ”

Song Xiang nodded and did not speak.

When he walked to the door, his wife opened the door, and he knew that it was Dawn 2 who told his wife the news of his arrival.

Shuguang 2 is a brain-like intelligence controlled by Huaguo, it is one of the doppelgangers of Shuguang 1, and the supercomputing center of the main brain is set up somewhere in the northwest, which is completely automated and not approached.

Taking off the gas mask, Evian saw her husband's lost expression and asked with concern, "Xiang, didn't you get in?" ”

Song Xiang nodded and said, "The most important thing now is skilled workers, and the special one is to choose 200,000 from 80 million..."

The exoplanet development strategy is on the agenda.

Because of Chen Xi's technological blockade, human civilization is now unable to build intelligent industries on planets other than Earth.

Therefore, the construction of the outpost required a lot of labor, so there was a nationwide selection.

The man was silent as he spoke, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he broke down emotionally in front of his lover, hugging his head and crying.

"I'm useless, I'm useless..."

Evian hugged her husband and comforted her gently: "If you can't choose, you can't choose, there are other ways out." ”

Song Xiang calmed down for a long time and said, "Evian, let's immigrate and go to Australia." ”

"Sugon will spend most of its productive forces on improving people's livelihood, and life there must be better than ours, and there is no need to worry about housing problems in the past, and they are all distributed for free."

"I thought about it, but we couldn't buy a ticket, we couldn't buy a flight ticket, and we didn't even have the ability to travel intercity," Evian said. ”

The passage control has long been passed, and if you want to go out of the city and abroad, you can only submit an application to the relevant departments through Shuguang.

"Then take the talent recruitment path of the World Academy of Sciences, isn't it a doctorate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xiang was not confident enough, Shuguang needs real doctoral students, which means that you can be admitted if you are admitted.

"Try it, there's nothing to do at home anyway."

"Come, get up, change your clothes and get ready to eat."

The man nodded, went to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

Looking at a steamed bun, a small bowl of porridge, and an extremely humble lunch, Song Xiang was even more depressed.

Grain is no longer bought and sold by food stamps, but by rationing, and fortunately it is not managed by people...

After just two bites, the air purifier on the balcony in the living room started to work, and the noise made the two very irritable.

Evian said, "Dawn, turn on the TV." ”

"Okay, may I ask if you want to watch music on demand, or watch current political news, TV series, and movies."

"Current political news is conducive to our judgment of the future development direction."

"Okay."

"Due to factors such as land desertification, extreme climate, and industrial pollution, the area of cultivated land in China has fallen below one billion mu."

The red line of cultivated land is 1.8 billion mu, and you can calculate how much grain has been reduced.

"The total arable land area of the world has been reduced to 900 million square hectares, and countries do not export grain to the outside world..."

"Many places in China have begun to follow the dawn and build super greenhouses without soil to ensure national food security."

Well said.

Song Xiang said: "Wait! Shuguang, tell me the total area of the domestic super greenhouse, as well as the specific grain output! ”

"It's confidential, and you don't have the right to know it, but I can tell you another set of data."

"The greenhouse is a three-dimensional soilless culture, planting special rice with four crops a year, and the yield per mu is 20 times that of conventional cultivated land."

"Countries in the solar system on the planets of the active construction of space elevators, outpost industrial bases, space cities, etc., more than 99 percent of the world's nano materials production to use these projects, for the construction of super greenhouses are very few, and glass production compared with the same period last year, but down a few points."

The super greenhouse is made of nanomaterials as the bone, and then the surface is covered with transparent glass.

"The 75,000 acres of super greenhouses under construction by Shuguang Technology are expected to be completed within two years, and the annual grain output is equivalent to 1.5 million mu of conventional cultivated land with three crops a year."

Evian calculated: "60 or 700,000 tons is only enough for the people of the whole country to eat for one day, and it is only calculated according to the standard of barely filling the stomach without starving to death." ”

Song Xiang laughed miserably: "A drop in the bucket!" ”

"The area of arable land is decreasing every day, and if you want to ensure that the world can eat food, you need at least 70 million hectares of super greenhouses, which is no different from putting a pot lid on the Pacific Ocean."

There are 17 billion hectares in the Pacific Ocean.

The two of them are not even in the mood to eat, although the current life is hard, but at least they can live, but in the future...

Song Xiang glanced at the home with a depressed expression: the sweeping robot was sweeping the dust, the air purifier was buzzing, the LCD TV was playing the news, the water purifier in the kitchen, the automatic washing machine in the bathroom, the water heater, the computer in the bedroom, the V fixture...

These are all intelligent furniture that are distributed free of charge by the state after the productivity is extremely rich, and the project to benefit the people is carried out.

However, only a few countries have done so, and more of them have included the free distribution of smart furniture in the benefits of the degree welfare hierarchy.

In some countries, many citizens refuse to use smart furniture because of concerns about AI invading privacy.

In the face of this situation, Chen Xi directly announced that only personal terminals carrying neuronal chips can log in to all the entertainment sectors of Shuguang Technology, and most of the problems have been successfully solved.

If you think about it, most people can only stay at home all day long, and as a result, they can't watch TV and play games..., just like squatting, and there will definitely be mental problems in the long run.

Looking out the window at the towering, activated charcoal-wrapped artificial green lung, a concept emerged from Song Xiang's mind: he had entered a cyberpunk society, low-end life and high-tech.

"Dawn, it's so high-tech, why can't we even solve the most basic problem of eating!"

Shuguang said: "Unfortunately, it is not high-tech enough, and the current food mainly comes from the growth and development of organisms. ”

"It takes time for organisms to grow and develop, which is a world-class problem that productivity and existing technologies cannot solve."

"If we want to completely get rid of the food crisis, only artificial starch and other technologies can make breakthroughs, and food is linked to productivity."
