Chapter 98: Pioneer

"I heard from Old Cui that you are an interesting person." Selita was quite curious, put out the cigarette, crossed her fingers, and looked at Xu Yang brightly.

"He described you in the same way." Xu Yang sat upright in his seat, "I'm just a free person, and I'm preparing my own career."

"Few people nowadays dare to say that they are free." Selita raised her eyebrows, "Who doesn't live within the hierarchy and power system?"

"So you should understand what's special about me." Xu Yang said, "Now it's your turn. Regarding the Lundnim change, the company's records are vague. Are you really the one who witnessed it?"

"I can tell you that the war in Lundnim lasted for a month," Selita looked at the white smoke rising from the ashtray, "From August 2 to September 1, 40, we lost 140,000 Compatriots, most of them died not between barricades, but of secret executions and exiles, they believed the company's nonsense, handed over their guns, turned to peaceful means, the company distributed shares to the cadres, and then they just sat by Other brothers were arrested and betrayed their comrades."

"The company still made concessions and changed the working hours." Xu Yang recalled the history he knew.

"That's because most cities in Taixi Province have responded," Selita shook her head, "They took the initiative to give in to the respite. Now they are smarter, with more and more motion sensors and chips, and more and more cameras and bugs. Intensive. I am just a blood-stained ghost now, knowing that I can’t let it go like this, and there is blood and deep revenge to avenge.”

"The company is going to a civil war." Xu Yang said.

"Sooner or later," Selita said grimly, "the end of corporatism has come, accompanied by irreversible contradictions. Cowards often say that corporatism has been improved to perfection, and drones and power armor can easily extinguish mudlegs Armed. They are wrong, and the vast majority of the planet is waiting with pent-up rage for someone to stand up and break the chains."

"You seem to have a plan in mind." Xu Yang pondered, "But the fact is that the company not only has a huge army, but also various secret technologies and war witches, including reality manipulators."

"The problem lies in the closure of the channel." Selita made a gesture pointing upwards, "When the world still has the opportunity to climb up and become rich, most people just turn a blind eye, after all There is still hope. But now, struggle can only be exchanged for double squeeze. No matter how hard you work, you can’t compare with rentiers. Wait for a chance to be released. If everyone knows who their real enemy is, then the end of this enemy will come."

"Times have changed." Xu Yang said.

"Yes, the old factories have been dismantled one by one, and the most combative laborers have disappeared into history." Selita nodded, "But our theory is also advancing with the times."

"Where are you now?" Xu Yang glanced over Selita's shoulder, and saw a simple handicraft hanging on the wall, made up of several copper rings connected in series, embellished with pearls, jade and gold pieces. It is rare to see this now. All kinds of accessories with regional cultural characteristics are replaced by standard consumer products produced by the company.

"In Baixiangzhou." Selita turned the screen around. She held the screen terminal and showed Xu Yang the environment she was in. It was a slightly messy office with a human skeleton specimen in the corner.

"Are you a doctor?" Xu Yang was curious.

"An armed military doctor, my magic power is crisis warning, so I escaped assassination again and again." Selita turned the camera to the window, showing Xu Yang the dense jungle outside, everywhere is endless green, and tall tropical trees grow luxuriantly , covering the sparse wheat fields, "In developed places, people can still survive by selling their brainpower to a certain extent, parasitizing on the prosperous service industry, and earning higher salaries than labor... But the world is too big, Let’s take a look at the situation in Baixiangzhou.”

Baixiangzhou is recognized as a relatively backward area. It is the jurisdiction of the Peacock-Tristan giant enterprise, with a population of more than 2 billion. It is distributed on an extremely vast wild land with a hot climate.

This giant company was formed by the joint reorganization of the Peacock Group and the Tristan Group. Only in this way can they win their own qualifications to become a giant company.

"In backward places, people's fighting spirit is stronger." Xu Yang thinks this idea is advisable.

"In the past, more than half of the output value of this region was grown from raw materials for stamps," Selita said with one hand on her hips, "and 70% of the world's stamps were supplied by Baixiangzhou. In order to change the situation here, I have fought guerrilla warfare here for 30 years. Now We can proudly say that we no longer make a living selling that kind of harm."

Outside the window, a non-commissioned officer in a dark green camouflage uniform leads a group of recruits through the jungle. They are sweating, but they look particularly healthy. The sun shines on their military uniforms and guns. They are all light weapons, many of which are produced by 3D printing technology. Yes, the structure is simple.

"Change the situation?" Xu Yang wanted to know the results of the practice, "People outside the company may not necessarily live better than the company."

"Here, the average life expectancy can be guaranteed to exceed 40 years," Selita pointed out the window, and she could vaguely see the houses behind the woods. Internet and movie theaters, and of course barracks and prisons.”

"This is a small 'country' established under the corporatism of Baixiangzhou." Xu Yang immediately realized.

"Yes, it can be said according to your understanding." Selita nodded, "During the change of Lundnim, we established a power organization, and I copied it here. We have a committee, and the members are from ordinary people. Elections, formulate plans for production and consumption, and decide on the next actions, and at the same time let people exchange products according to their own labor value. I am just their spiritual leader, their doctor. We broke into patches of rural areas and factories, and will Ideas spread.”

"I thought agriculture was a thing of the past," Xu Yang said.

"The company has changed a lot, but some things remain the same." Selita turned the screen back to the office, "You also said that times have changed, but what we pursue, from the change of Lundnim to It’s all the same now—strive for the full freedom and full development of humans and witches, this is the idea I have brought to the present since I lived 130 years ago, and we call it ‘pioneering’.”

"If there are weak links among giant enterprises, then Baixiangzhou is indeed one." Xu Yang admitted.

Especially the Peacock-Tristan Group that rules the local area. As a deformed monster that is barely stitched together, the Peacock Group is famous for its agricultural production, while the Tristan Group focuses on the financial industry. The development concepts of the two are very different, and the high-level leaders are also fighting each other. .

There are only tens of millions of people in Baixiangzhou working in giant enterprises, and they are regarded as superior to others. The situation of the remaining 1.9 billion people is like livestock.

"We need donations." Selita looked at the screen seriously, "A small amount of money can save hundreds of children from disease and hunger, and also allow me to import more rare medicines to save the dead."

"How much do you need?" Xu Yang approved of their attempt.

"In order not to be regarded as a liar, as long as 50,000 funds are enough." Selita said, "You can dig a canal. The money can go to our 'friends' on the deep anonymous network, who are also sympathizers. I will send the way to you."

"Then I'll try it." Xu Yang cut off the screen and received a message from Selita in the background.

According to Selita's guidance, Xu Yang found a hidden account called "Youai Company" on the anonymous network. This company claims to be engaged in an ordinary industry and is committed to geek culture, artistic innovation and Internet security technology exploration.

"She should need more funds." Xu Yang turned to look at Cui Junyou.

"Of course, it's not enough to give her tens of millions for such a career." Cui Junyou said, "But these sisters are very proud. If you give more, she will think that you humiliate her with money."

"Okay then." Xu Yang read the key of the cash card on his mobile phone and transferred the funds, "And what is the origin of the 'Youai Company' that was transferred?"

"Friendship, they are all brothers on the same path." Cui Junyou blinked, "Corporateism makes enemies secretly, more than they think."

"Her words sound very theoretical." Xu Yang recalled the communication with Selita before.

"In the past, people received a complete education, and some witches could still go to school, and she is also a beneficiary." Cui Junyou said, "She was a philosopher first, then a warrior, and now a doctor."

"Avant-gardeism is a very meaningful point of view." Xu Yang said, "but it has not fully proved its superiority."

"Who knows?" Cui Junyou smiled, "Once these sisters really make her career in Baixiangzhou, they will inspire more people from all over the world to join in, and the situation will change by then."

Is avant-garde a system that can replace corporatism? Xu Yang pondered. In any case, time and practice will prove Selita's ideas.

After transferring the funds, Selita left a message to Xu Yang on the Internet and sent a compressed package.

"You are really refreshing. Attached are my theories on avant-gardeism over the years, as well as some practical manuals, which should be of some significance. Attached is a sentence I read in college: people are an end, not a means. "

Xu Yang flipped through the manual, which mainly talked about the birth, history and philosophy of avant-gardeism, followed by a five-in-one "basic set", including a medical experience summed up by Selita for many years of practicing medicine, a set of The theory of training the militia, a stack of blueprints for producing durable firearms with a 3D printer, a well-edited practical survival manual, and a basic agronomy.

It is too practical. Xu Yang thought secretly. This is the real route to smashing corporatism from the bottom up.

"A magical woman." Cui Junyou sighed, "You think so too."

"We will meet face to face in the future, let's have a good talk at that time." Xu Yang put away his thoughts.
