Chapter 731 New Social Ecology
731. New social ecology
It started like this. Two hot-blooded young people with rich backgrounds had a disagreement. They didn't know why they were so angry. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and issued an order to their T-600 guards. An order to beat the opponent up.
Naturally, the T-600 will not attack these customers, both sides are, so the next thing is lively, one person on both sides is carrying four T-600s, the other is carrying three T-600s, just like that. fight together. The fight between robots does not need to be courteous at all, it is completely deadly, and the punches are in place. After a period of exhilarating hand-to-hand combat, the side with the larger number won, and the loser ran away in despair.
This time, the street fight, which was originally insignificant, has attracted widespread attention because of the robot. Under the secret and deliberate promotion of some people, people have discovered this new world one after another.
As a result, the robot arena was quietly opened, and people can watch specially arranged robot fighting performances here at a high price. The shape of the T-600 has also been modified in a variety of ways, such as adding hideous bump angles, or adding thick armor. Wealthy businessmen set up their own robot fighting teams one after another. With the technical support provided by the guardian group company, they modified the T-600 robot personalizedly and then participated in the gladiatorial battle.
Fighting with cold weapons, fighting with hot weapons, and even robots fighting beasts. These performances are not broadcasted on TV. If you want to watch them, you have to buy expensive tickets to watch them on the spot. Tickets for some star teams and star robots even fetched six figures!
There are countless T-600 models derived from this, and a large amount of actual combat data has also been included in the database of the Guardian Group.
This trend reached its peak in an exhibition match in which the Guardian Group stuffed several condemned prisoners into an armored vehicle and let them fight against the T-600! ! The audience saw that the armored vehicle first went on a rampage desperately, and then was surrounded by T-600 and overturned! In the end, amid the screams of the condemned prisoners, the outer armor of the armored vehicle was dismantled bit by bit by more than a dozen T-600s, and the condemned prisoners were pulled out of the armored vehicles one by one, and then screamed wildly at the audience. Among them, the death penalty was executed on the spot!
Such bloody and crazy activities are completely impossible to be accepted in a healthy society. But in the distorted society that is approaching the end of the world of "Pacific Rim", it has become a trend.
On this basis, the Guardian Group also launched a robot shootout event. After equipping a large number of Guardian IVs with low-damage weapons, have people form squads and go head-to-head against these robots. The firepower of the robot is painful when it hits the human body, but the weapons equipped by these people can easily tear the robot to pieces.
Of course, these robots are not just handed over to you to disassemble and play with. To participate in this event, everyone has to pay a high fee. However, this does not stop the crazy popularity of this event. Compared to sitting in the stands and admiring a killing, it is better to do it yourself!
The Guardians also broadcast these events live, allowing people to watch other people dismantle robots into parts on TV, or get beaten black and blue by robots with thick foam on their hands and feet. Many stars have also been born, such as "hand tearing robot expert", "trap master", "robot blasting expert" and so on.
In addition to the madness, the social ecology of "Eden" began to be rewritten. Robot guards were used extensively. After the Kaiju Beast invasion, the stagnant conventional military force was reorganized to preserve its elite and stationed in Eastern and Southern Europe. These armies, along with the robot guards, make up the powerful domination of 'Eden'. There are even rumors that an army of robots has begun to appear, but this rumor has not been confirmed.
High-level executives and wealthy businessmen from various countries mainly live in London, Paris, Munich, Milan and other metropolises.
There are not many people in these places other than a large number of service industry practitioners. Moreover, these service workers are not allowed to bring their families to stay in the 'Garden of Eden'.
In the peripheral secondary cities, there are mainly wealthy merchants and nouveau riche of the secondary level, which also include a large number of service industry personnel.
The scientific research personnel engaged in high-precision science and technology, as well as excellent managers and talented senior personnel, live in special industrial parks, including their families. Every year, these talents will be evaluated and assessed, and if they fail, they will be kicked out of the 'Garden of Eden'.
In the more peripheral areas, there are large tracts of farms, planting various crops that have not been polluted by the chrysanthemum beasts, to meet the consumption of the "Garden of Eden". Because these farms have adopted a large number of intelligent machinery and robots provided by the Guardian Group, there are not many farmers in fact.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation. In fact, such a large-scale population movement and immigration action cannot be completed in a day or two, not to mention that people are not willing to leave the 'Garden of Eden'. In response to this, the top executives of "Eden" reorganized their industries, and many enterprises, especially heavy industries, were relocated to "Eden", and job opportunities were also moved out.
Want to resist migration? Want to strike? It doesn't matter, just go on strike today, tomorrow all their jobs will be replaced by robot workers, and these strikers will lose their jobs immediately.
The high price of unpolluted food and the impact of a large number of robot laborers have made it increasingly difficult for ordinary people to live in the "Garden of Eden". In order to find a meal, they have to leave their hometowns and find jobs in other places to make ends meet. And even so, they also find themselves competing for jobs with those tireless robot workers, making life more and more difficult.
However, the top management of "Eden" was not completely heartless. They quickly announced the "Anti-Monster City Wall" plan to build a super city wall with a height of more than 100 meters and a thickness of more than ten meters along the entire Pacific coast. He also claimed that the city wall was so strong that even if the fourth-level Kaiju beast really appeared, it would be helpless. The construction of the city wall brought a lot of job opportunities, which somewhat calmed the boiling public grievances.
After learning that the construction of the "Anti-Monster City Wall" started ahead of schedule, Tang Yu also called Chen Gang to discuss the plan of using robot labor to repair the wall, further creating unemployment and expanding social conflicts. But it was temporarily shelved, because it was too purposeful to do so. Therefore, it is only a conservative proposal to use robot labor in the most dangerous areas.
If the invincible Kaiju Beast is the fuse that caused the collapse of the previous social structure, then the emergence of robot guards and robot labor is the torch that ignites the fuse.
Because it has been known for a long time that the Kaiju beast cannot be completely defeated and eliminated, those high-level officials no longer care about such useless things as sustainable development. After getting the two powerful swords of robot guards and robot labor, nothing can stop them The **** swelled up. They are also very smart and know how to place the army and their families on the edge of the "Garden of Eden" and pull the army onto their own boats, so that even if other people make a lot of trouble, they can rest easy.
There are only two kinds of people left in the world—the upper-class people who live in the 'Garden of Eden', and the lower-class people who live in other places.
