Elon Musk, this rich man is not simply rich, but as one of the most famous rich people in the world today, or in other words, one of the world's fame can be removed. He is keen on new media promotion, is keen on exaggerated personal style, and is particularly nagging, so much so that he will post several tweets on platform X every day, sometimes more than 20 tweets a day, more than ordinary people.

He is "unsightly" and "arrogant", he often speaks openly, and every time he gets into trouble, he is happy to do it without learning a lesson, so to speak, it is no less difficult to shut him up for a day than to let him die.

His popularity is often accompanied by great controversy, which makes people's perception of him particularly complicated. But I have to say that in the eyes of Miles and Dean, this is a smart move, in this era, whether it is red and black heat, as long as it is hot, it is accompanied by traffic, and with traffic, no matter what you do, you have succeeded more than half.

"Hey, two, how are you doing?"

Musk greeted the two.

"Good, pretty good."

The two stepped forward and hugged the friend.

"I dare say, you're just in time, let me introduce you to you."

Musk is one of the leaders of the "New Eden Project", and he has his participation and planning of the entire blueprint, so he talks endlessly: "After the plan is completed, the Eden Garden in New Zealand will be enough to accommodate a full 3,000 people, and the life support system inside will allow us not to worry about ...... for a hundred years."

Miles has long been accustomed to Musk's work in painting cakes, since Musk said that there is no need to worry about a hundred years, then a half discount, about fifty years is not to worry.

"Is 3,000 too many?"

Dean asked, "If it could be reduced to three hundred, wouldn't it be able to hold out for a thousand years?" ”

"That's not how it works, friend!"

Musk pointed to the construction site: "Look at it, the New Eden is so huge, think about it, how many engineers are needed to maintain it?" Our machines are not foolproof, they still require a lot of manpower to repair and maintain, in fact, I think that of the 3,000 people, only 500 are assigned to us, and the remaining 2,500 people, all of them are elites from all walks of life, who will be settled for free with their own labor...... For example, chef, is it possible that you want to cook your own food? For example, gardeners, farmers, pastry chefs, etc., as well as important software engineers, electrical engineers, and hardware engineers. ”

Dean then understood, and was unwilling: "This is not fair, we have to pay $1 billion for a person's ticket, but they only need to pay for labor?" What labor is worth $1 billion? A hundred years of labor will not work. ”

"Dean, that's not what he said," Miles stopped Dean, "the accumulation of wealth may just be an accident, just like us, and although we have wealth, is there really anything particularly high in the apocalyptic environment?" You can't even make fried eggs, and when the time comes, do you want to say that you are very good at roadshows and very good at exaggerating the merits? Please, this is worthless in the future. ”

"I'm more concerned about something than this, Elon."

Myers stared at Musk: "What do you use to keep us safe?" ”

“？” Dean looked at his friend in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Musk instantly understood Myers' words.

As Myers said, five hundred rich people may not be as useful as a gardener in a post-apocalyptic environment, do they have to prove that they are very good at eating and drinking?

In the environment of the collapse of normal social order, the previous laws can no longer guarantee their personal safety, especially according to Musk, in the new Eden, their group of rich people only accounts for one-sixth of the number of people, belonging to a minority group, and it is conceivable that their consumption of materials will definitely account for five-sixths of the total.

So, will the remaining 2,500 people be willing? You must understand that they are also the elite of society, and they are not as easy to fool as ordinary fools.

"Haha Miles, you're thinking very far."

Musk lit a cigarette and swallowed the clouds, "As you feared, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, the entire New Eden will not only be highly centralized in intelligence, but also highly centralized in permission." The authority of the New Garden of Eden will be the committee inside, and without the corresponding authority, they don't even have the oxygen to breathe. ”

Miles had yet to ask again, but Musk said he had something to go.

As soon as Musk left, Dean excitedly said: "Miles, your worries are unnecessary. ”

"No, I'm more worried."

"What do you mean?"

"The intelligence that Musk said is highly centralized, and the authority is highly centralized, and it is impossible to achieve it."

Miles said calmly: "Do you think it's a movie?" Do you think it has a super AI? Think you can master the entire base with the password of a super administrator like in the movie? No kidding, the current technology simply can't do that, and even if it does, there are too many loopholes. I'm not optimistic about this "New Eden Project" now, it's just a pie, and we have to get out. ”

"What?"

Dean was anxious: "We gave all the money for the tickets." ”

"It's better than running out of people."

"But what else can we do with this plan? Do you really want to be crowded with ordinary people? ”

Dean shuddered, "Do you live that life with a bread quota a day?" ”

"That's how you came here a few years ago."

"No, I'm already full, so I can't stand hunger anymore."

"Who wants to? No way is no way, no matter how painful it is, you have to learn to accept it. ”

The conversation between the two is only a small microcosm of the current situation, and their struggles are as small as dust in this era, and they cannot influence the general situation.

Fortunately, the people of small countries are even more panicked, believing that the vote at the United Nations is not binding, and that once the big countries complete their plans, they will inevitably abandon the small countries.

Therefore, the small countries demanded at the United Nations that the big countries must first solve the doomsday disaster avoidance dungeon for the small countries, otherwise, they will not be able to do anything big, and they still have the strength to pull people into the water.

This is not a lie.

For example, although China has stopped issuing gasoline vehicle license plates after entering the state of emergency, the scale of civilian gasoline vehicle use has been reduced, and oil consumption has been greatly reduced. However, don't forget that in modern industry, it is far more than automobiles that rely on oil, and more than half of the oil is used in industry and medicine.

For example, the simplest clothing material is inseparable from the application of petroleum.
