Chapter 153 L28309 Cleaning Site (1/2)

Chapter 153 L28309 Cleanup Site

The Civilization Federation began to prepare for the battle against the Silk Civilization.

The first thing to do was not to send a fleet, but the [Mechanical God].

The Mechanical God itself has extremely strong manufacturing capabilities. It will take a 200-meter-class spacecraft to a location closer to the Silk Civilization and then take root to start manufacturing production lines.

Build a laser transmission device from scratch there.

As Yan Xia said, the technical content of the laser transmission device is actually not too high, and its production difficulty is also very low.

Especially because it is divided into a transmitter and a receiver, the difficulty of construction is further reduced, making this action possible.

In order to avoid accidents, there are more than one Mechanical God, and they are not scattered on a path from the Orion Nebula to their star field, but deviate by at least 20 light years, which can avoid being explored by the Silk Civilization troops.

This is just a preliminary arrangement.

It is still a long way from the start of the war.

The Civilization Federation needs to continue to develop new technologies and accelerate the pace of expansion.

…

L28309 Cleanup Site

The huge Civilization Federation produces a huge amount of garbage every day.

These garbage will not be thrown away and decomposed into basic elements, but will be classified, and some finished products will be cleaned up and put into use again.

The purpose of this is to save energy. Over time, the total amount of energy saved by the entire Civilization Federation is still considerable.

The cleaning site was born for this reason, and it has become the survival reliance of many bottom-level citizens of the Federation.

In theory, the Civilization Federation should be able to distribute resources evenly to the bottom-level citizens, so that the bottom-level citizens can also have a more comfortable life, even if the total number of citizens in the Civilization Federation now exceeds 60 trillion.

But Ella did not do so.

The first is the distribution problem. Why should we support the bottom? This is a more difficult question.

If it is on the moral level, this will certainly not be a problem, but Ella's thinking mode is more inclined to interests. It will first think about what it can get by helping the bottom.

There is of course no answer to this question.

Of course, Yan Xia also noticed the problem above, but his policy is only to keep these people at the lowest standard of living, and will not directly let you live more comfortably.

It is actually very easy to understand.

If the welfare of the Civilization Federation itself is relatively comfortable, then some ordinary people will think:

My current monthly income is 3,000, but if I don't work, I will get a subsidy of 2,000 per month, why should I work?

This is extremely destabilizing, and such a result will produce a cyberpunk-like society.

Ordinary people are on the minimum living allowance, and the upper class monopolizes everything, and there will be an insurmountable gap between the two.

Yan Xia also asked Ella, does it not exist in a society where all people have extremely high treatment?

Of course it exists.

But such a social form is unsustainable, unstable, and will inevitably collapse.

Everyone lives a stable life, which can be regarded as everyone enjoying it, so who is paying? And will those who enjoy it really be satisfied?

If everyone in society has only 10,000 people, and you have 10 million, you may be satisfied.

But if everyone in society has 10 million, and there are others who have 100 million or 1 billion, then what will the person with 10 million think?

The balance of society has never been only productivity, but also the control of human nature, and continuous progress.

Only when civilization is constantly progressing can society maintain stability. Progress will suppress the last unstable factors in society. If a civilization is stagnant, even if it is a Level 4 civilization that controls the entire universe, the final result will be collapse.

But these are not issues that civilians should think about.

So...

"Fuck the Federation!" A human teenager who was constantly rummaging through garbage in the garbage dump spat on the ground.

He looked around and saw other citizens like him.

The human body is not strong, which often puts him at a disadvantage here.

Most of the waste here is not bottles and cans, but machines, countless machines.

But these machines are not worth anything here. They are only valuable if they are repaired, and all the costs of good second-hand things are in the repair fee.

Repair is not the kind of 21st century where you can just twist it with a wrench. Now the machines inside the Civilization Federation are extremely sophisticated. Sometimes a part is as thin as a piece of paper, but there are as many as millions of components in it. What kind of wrench and screwdriver can repair this thing?

So these garbage pickers, or scavengers, don't take these machines.

What they picked up was the energy from these waste items.

What is energy?

It's money!

The current coins are called energy coins, and as long as there is energy, it can be exchanged for money.

Zhang Cheng kept searching, and when his hands were exhausted, he suddenly saw a ray of light in the gap between the iron blocks.

He moved the things around and found the thing in his mouth. He was very experienced and recognized it at a glance. It was a scrapped patrol plane.

Patrol planes are machines that fly in the air on the road. They are responsible for maintaining public security and monitoring. Patrol planes work almost 24 hours a day and are a very easy-to-scrap machine.

He skillfully turned over the spherical patrol machine that was two circles larger than his head, found an area on its back, and then took out a very thin electronic sheet and pasted it on the surface of the patrol machine. He began to control the electronic sheet through the quark robot in his body to crack the patrol machine.

After many generations of evolution, the quark robot itself is no longer just a general medical robot. It also treats the host as a chassis, and then forms a computing unit inside for preliminary calculations.

The power provided by the general human body is not enough, and can only maintain a very small computing power, which is not 13PFLOPS, but only more than a hundred 4090 overclocking computing power limits.

In order to break through this bottleneck, an external power supply is needed.

This external power supply will certainly not be connected to a line, but directly transmits current infinitely. This technology itself is actually very simple and has been applied when the earth still exists, but the power is naturally incomparable to the current.

External power supplies need to be paid for, and are divided into many levels. The lowest level is 0.001 energy coins per month, and the power provided is 200 degrees per month, which is actually less, but it is naturally much larger than bioelectricity.

With the lowest level of power supply, the computing power of the Quark Robot will reach 280EFLOPS, which is directly increased by tens of thousands of times. In fact, it is also very low. In terms of computing power, it is only a little more than 6 times that of the 21st century supercomputer Tianhe-1.

After all, it is a component installed in the human body, and it is not suitable for inputting too much current.

And the so-called computing unit is also very rough because it is pieced together by Quark Robot like building blocks.

Zhang Cheng used the lowest level of power supply. He spent more than 10 minutes to crack the patrol machine through computing power.

I saw that the originally smooth back of the patrol machine began to protrude. It turned out that its shell was also spliced ​​together, but the gap was very small, at the micron level, invisible to the naked eye.

After the back protruded, Zhang Cheng directly took out its battery.

This battery is only as big as a No. 1 battery and can be held in one hand.

Zhang Cheng checked the remaining power inside again, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"There are still 37,000 kWh of electricity. I don't know which company threw it out. The inspection was so rough."

37,000 kWh of electricity is about 0.133 energy coins. For Zhang Cheng, it is indeed a profit. He collected the batteries in large quantities and then rushed to his residence.

His residence is not far from the L28309 cleanup site, which is a relatively old neighborhood.

The streets are basically lined with metal buildings, and the space inside is not large, only 50 or 60 square meters.

He returned home, took out the batteries, and opened his small safe. There were batteries of various shapes, big and small.

"It can be sold."

Zhang Cheng took all the batteries and followed a small path to a machine. He threw all the batteries in. A number on the screen of the machine kept jumping and finally stopped at 144,200 kWh.

Then he stood in front of the machine and scanned his face. The electricity was converted into energy coins and directly deposited into his account.

A total of 0.519 energy coins.

He was extremely happy. This income was very considerable, although this was basically all he had gained in the past year, and he had other expenses, such as renting a house.

In this era, no one would come to urge rent. As long as an electronic contract is signed, the rent will be directly deducted from the personal account regularly, unless you cancel the contract, so it is almost impossible to default on the debt.

And if you want to cheat and not pay, the house will be automatically locked.

These metal houses will form a vacuum environment directly inside after they are automatically locked. Want to live for free? Impossible!

Individual strength has almost no effect in front of machinery.

"After deducting the rent, there is not much left, but fortunately, I can finally get rid of this place."

Zhang Cheng showed a look of relief on his face.

In this era, there is only one way to get rid of your fate, which is to learn skills. Only with skills can you have the possibility of leaving here.

And learning skills is not difficult, and it can even be said to be extremely simple.

You can find it at will on the Internet. Do you think you might be lazy? It doesn't exist. You can be directly pulled into the virtual world by the Quark robot, and then you can't exit the virtual world before the time comes. You can't be lazy at all.

There are only you and the teacher in the virtual world. Only textbooks will appear at a certain time. You can't even pick your nails because the teacher will always be locked in your field of vision. In addition, you can't sleep, close your eyes, or go to the toilet in the virtual world...

If you still can't learn in this situation, it can only be said that you are really not good at it. Give up.

This learning model is very common in the Civilization Federation and has been implemented ten thousand years ago.

Most children now do not go to school. Children who go to school are generally very rich. Ordinary children will be arranged with similar courses. After learning, they can apply for entrance examinations at any time.

You can take the exam after studying for 10 years, and you can also take the exam after studying for 1 year.

After the exam, you can receive a diploma. You don't need to register with any government agency or take a vacation. You can directly enter the middle school course. Of course, you can also take a vacation for yourself.

In the Civilized Federation, there are no rigid rules on how old you should be to complete what level of education. In fact, as long as you can, you can study primary school courses again when you are 90 years old, and your diploma will still be issued.

The concept of school has actually been blurred in this era.

It exists more as a higher-level place. For example, teachers in schools can provide more biological management and teaching, rather than the rigid and mechanical management and teaching in the virtual world.

Zhang Cheng studied mechanical maintenance.

This is what he is better at. After all, he has been working with machinery since he was born, and his parents are also scavengers.

However, they were not willing to do this, so they started their career as explorers, but they were too weak. They only went out once and never came back. All they brought back was a necklace.

After Zhang Cheng exchanged the energy coins, he walked to a high tower. This tower was not a building, but a park. Here, such things are everywhere.

Zhang Cheng was lying on the lawn, looking at the stars.

The L28309 cleanup site existed in the starry sky. It was not attached to any planet or even any star system. It was still far, far away from the interior of the star system, so far away that he could hardly imagine it.

After all, for him, the L28309 cleanup site with a diameter of 6,000 kilometers is already very large, so big that he will not be able to leave it in his life.

There is not only a cleanup site in the L28309 cleanup site, but also a city. That city is the place Zhang Cheng longs for. I heard that all the citizens in that city work for the same company.

Zhang Cheng has actually been there once. Although there is money in this era, there is no status. As long as he has money, he can go anywhere.

The last time he went there was with his parents. At that time, he saw for the first time luxurious hover cars, huge spaceships, 100,000-meter-high buildings, beautifully dressed urban citizens, and patrol policemen in mechas. .

Everything is so new.

I heard that the citizens there have a stable income every month, and the annual income is more than 1 energy coin. Although it is not much more than myself, I heard that there are other benefits. The company will give employees houses to live in and food every day. It's also free, so is medical care, so is study...

He didn't know that these things were actually not valuable in this era.

Energy is everything.

After staying in the park for an hour, Zhang Cheng got up, ended his fantasy time, and returned to work in his garbage dump.

At this time, there was a sudden explosion from the sky, and a huge battleship flew over his head in an instant.

"So handsome!"

he exclaimed.

He could not imagine who was sitting on the battleship.
