Chapter 1706 You Are Just a Small Person
Logan finally enjoyed himself.
Plenty of food, clean clothes, and comfortable shelter, these are provided by the Legion. He returned to an environment where he could gain dignity and wealth by relying on his professional knowledge, and his traumatized nerves could finally have a place to rest.
The Aurora Legion transports a huge amount of goods into or out of North America, which requires a data center to deploy logistics systems such as inventory, capacity, and distribution. Otherwise, tens of thousands of goods shipped to thousands of locations in units of tons will become a mess.
Logan is engaged in database development and has experience in supercomputing operation and maintenance. He directly became a small supervisor of a legion in the data center in Salt Lake City, and started working with seven or eight subordinates.
The hardware equipment in the data center is readily available. Although Salt Lake City has also suffered a nuclear bomb, the University of Utah and the city government can find some usable equipment. The legion also got some hosts and servers from other cities, so this aspect is not a big problem.
The data network is a bit miserable, the original system has been destroyed badly. At first glance, it looks quite complete, but there are always various problems in the details. To repair this network requires a lot of skilled labor, it is too troublesome, so give it up for now.
"Fortunately, we can launch satellites." Logan's data center erected a large satellite receiving antenna, using communication satellites instead of wired networks.
The Aurora Legion is currently launching high-intensity and continuous communication satellites, and several of the earlier launches have completed measurement and control debugging and are in working condition. Regardless of civilian use, it is still competent to serve the military and government agencies.
After the establishment of the data center, logistics personnel all over the country released a huge amount of data. The data is sent to the satellite through a personal handheld device, and then transmitted to Logan in Salt Lake City by the satellite.
The data from all over the world is projected on a huge virtual screen after being aggregated and analyzed by the software. Logan's current daily job is to ensure the normal operation of this data processing system. With just a tap of his finger, he can see what goods are being delivered to where, which is so convenient.
"It feels great to be in control of the overall situation." Logan leaned on his office chair happily. The data in front of him was the situation in the western region of the Brotherhood, and the main port was Seattle. In addition, the Legion also has another data center in Washington, DC.
"Another large container ship has docked in Seattle. Most of the more than 10,000 containers are clothes, shoes and hats." Logan could see the customs clearance information refreshed on the screen in front of his eyes. Currently, the Brotherhood of Steel imported the most It is textiles.
"The big shots in the fraternity are going to make a lot of money." The data in front of Logan are tens of millions of shirts or underwear, or millions of pairs of shoes and socks. He looked at his two feet leaning on the desk,
So did his shoes and socks.
In addition, freighters continue to bring in various industrial accessories and construction materials. Every time these things arrive, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons arrive, and dozens of large freighters dock in Seattle every day.
Because the management and staff of the port have not fully recovered, there are so many cargoes that the port's handling capacity is approaching its limit.
However, free trade is not really free, because the Legion adopts an agency system, and all goods are only sold to a specific official. Officials must provide benefits to the Legion if they want to do business. For example, several bishops of the Mormon Church offered minerals in exchange for commodity quotas.
This kind of monopoly business will quickly concentrate wealth in the hands of a few people, and some people will become very rich, while most people can only choose to attach themselves to the powerful. This is exactly why Logan sighed.
Pa..., Logan watched the data change leisurely while opening a bottle of Nuka-Cola, produced by Legion. The color of this drink is very special, as if emitting some kind of fluorescent light.
This kind of cola is considered a high-end product. The Legion invested and built a factory in Salt Lake City and recruited workers to produce it. The taste is much better than the brand produced by the church itself. Logan likes the random slogans on this kind of cola, such as the bottle in his hand that says 'I'm poor, it must be caused by this world. '
Hahaha..., Logan laughed happily. He is in such a good mood every day now, as if he is in heaven.
"Logan, there's something you should look at." Just when Logan was immersed in a good life, one of his subordinates mysteriously approached him.
"What happened?"
"I think there is something wrong with the legion's cargo."
Logan was startled immediately, sitting upright with a serious face. His job is to ensure the normal operation of the logistics system, and any problems are his responsibility.
The subordinate continued: "I found that the Legion is constantly collecting all kinds of supercomputers. Those in universities, research institutions, and government systems, all of them are not spared.
Besides supercomputers, the Legion didn't even spare equipment with average performance. They are very interested in these electronic products and offer high prices to buy them in a predatory manner. "
Before the Great Wasteland Cataclysm, personal electronic products were already very popular. Compared with Zhou Qingfeng's real world, there was a technology gap of more than two or three generations in terms of technology level. Although these things are often useless in the current environment, Zhou Qingfeng still tried his best to buy them.
Anyway, now a piece of clothing can be exchanged for a mobile phone beyond the times, why not buy it? Many people have discovered the business opportunity and are cooperating with the Legion.
"The legion has purchased a lot of things privately, such as high-energy batteries used in cars, and some heavy trucks. The freighters that left Seattle recently are all fully loaded, all of which are of this type of goods." The subordinate continued.
High energy battery is an epoch-making product, a revolutionary scientific and technological progress. Human beings have been working hard in the field of batteries for hundreds of years to obtain it. When trucks with tens or hundreds of tons can be driven by batteries, the advancement of power systems has brought earth-shaking changes to society.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't want these good things to be scattered all over the place, he was obliged to collect them. Even if you don't need it, don't give it to others.
"It's not just high-energy batteries, the Legion actually dismantled Boeing's factory in Seattle. Although the factory was almost completely destroyed by the nuclear bomb, the Legion still found a lot of good things from the ruins.
Logan, these are high-tech products, and it is impossible to rebuild them in the next ten or twenty years. Is there no one to stand up and stop this plunder? "The subordinates have a worried patriotic feeling.
But Logan shook his head and asked, "Who do you think should stand up and stop it?"
The subordinates are speechless....
"The high-ranking officials of the fraternity are selling these things. The rags are of no use to them. And collecting scattered high-tech equipment can also provide a job for the low-level people. Why do you want to stop it?"
Logan's words made the subordinate sigh again... The other party obviously knew this, but it was a bit unacceptable. Logan raised his arm and said, "See this suit I'm wearing? I used to wear handmade suits, and now I only have this machine-made suit, but I'm very satisfied.
Before, the fraternity didn't care about my life at all. My colleagues were almost dead, and I didn't see anyone coming to help. It's not easy for me to live until now, do you understand?
In the Legion, I can live with dignity without having to worry about daily accommodation and food. I don't even want to step out of the data center right now because it's too dangerous for me to be outside. Who knows what those villains who only kill and set fire and have no job will treat me?
If the legion wants something, let it move away. This is a legitimate transaction, why stop it? I advise you to just take care of yourself, so that you can live happily. "
The subordinate sighed, "Logan, you are right. But what about America?"
"What does the United States have to do with you? You are not qualified to decide its future. You are just a small person, don't think too much about yourself. Now I am your boss, you have to listen to me and go to work." Logan Wave your hand, the clouds are calm and the wind is light.
