Bionic Era

Chapter 21: your name

Views:

"The deceased Li Jian, ethnic H, 51 years old, from Erhe Town, District 12, Mowu City, former chairman of Landi Construction Group... The body was found in a solidified cement pile."

Don’t these rich people bring a bodyguard when they go out

While driving, Lu Wen browsed the information Xia Chuluo sent to him.

"The deceased Li Jian, ethnic H, 35 years old, a resident of the 5th District of Mowu City, a steelmaking plant worker... Surveillance showed that he was pushed into the steelmaking furnace by an out-of-control bionic man."

"The deceased Li Jian, ethnic H, 26 years old, a resident of District 6, Mowu City, an employee of the crematorium... was pushed into the incinerator by his android colleague while he was taking a nap."

"The deceased Li Jian, ethnic H, 22 years old, from Ganmu Town, District 14, Mowu City, was a tiger keeper at the zoo... While cleaning the cage on one side, the android colleague opened the cage with the tiger on the other side. "

so.

Except the first one.

The three at the back didn't even have a complete body left

"The android is out of control?"

Lu Wen thought of the increasingly violent demonstrations and strikes in the news.

Most of them are about resisting androids.

In the beginning, low-cost assembly line androids only replaced part of the physical work.

Later, bionic people appeared in more and more industries.

Parliament once ordered to limit the number of androids, but this immediately led to joint protests by many factory owners and entrepreneurs, and later had to repeal the law.

"If someone deliberately provokes a conflict between humans and androids, they won't just attack people named Li Jian, so the key point is still the name? But this name may just be a smoke bomb."

Many highly intelligent criminals have used androids to commit crimes, making execution increasingly difficult.

Lu Wen thought carefully, and unknowingly, his speed became a little faster, and the world quickly regressed.

Before long, the city came into view.

The towering chimney stands at the end of the sky and can be seen from a long distance away. The billowing smoke fills the sky like a big net covering the sky and the sun.

"Most of them are power plants. Why not use wind power?"

Lu Wen was a little confused.

He had seen the map and knew that there were no big rivers in this world.

The weather was always unsatisfactory, and it was gloomy eight days out of ten.

There is little hope for water conservancy and solar energy, but the wind is strong enough. The howling wind blows through the rolling mountains and circles the abandoned city, never stopping.

"cost."

Xia Chuluo spoke calmly.

"The cost of installing wind power is quite high and will not be recouped for a long time. These power plants are all private enterprises. In addition, some experts have said that there are still enough minerals under the planet to be mined for 500 years, so wind power will naturally be used. Abandoned."

"And wind is quite unstable on this planet." Xia Chuluo added.

"Extreme weather?" Lu Wen asked.

"Yes, otherwise why is it that eighty years have passed since that war and there are still only nine major cities in the world."

Cars are flowing continuously on the complicated urban roads.

Looking down from a high place, it looks like tireless ants, busy under the sky supported by giant pillars.

Rich people will stand on high buildings in front of huge glass windows, holding a glass of red wine in their hands, admiring this wonderful world.

Poor people will lie on the street in a corner where they can shelter from the rain, with cardboard boxes in front of them, praying that someone will show some kindness.

They have all four limbs, but they can't find a job.

"With an unemployment rate of 28%, if we were a country, it would be on the verge of collapse." Lu Wen said with emotion.

"A country without bionic humans would indeed have collapsed long ago." Xia Chuluo pointed out the truth.

The city of Mowu is divided into sixteen regions.

Each region has its own executive bureau.

Xia Chuluo belongs to the Thirteenth District.

"You are considered very powerful in the executive bureau, right?" Lu Wen asked.

"I can't say he's very powerful." Xia Chuluo shook his head calmly, "It should be the most powerful, bar none."

"So you are the CEO?"

"no."

"There is still someone better than you."

"If I had not made any mistakes and accumulated all my achievements up to now, I should have been the CEO long ago."

Xia Chuluo looked unconcerned, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"You can also make mistakes?" Lu Wen was surprised.

"If you make a mistake occasionally, for ten points of merit, you will probably make nine mistakes." Xia Chuluo said nonchalantly.

"That's really... not too little."

Lu Wen drove through Baida Plaza in the city center and drove slowly towards the 13th District.

The territory of each district is very vast, including not only the urban area with many high-rise buildings, but also the suburbs, countless small towns and villages, extending all the way to the outermost ruins.

The executive bureau of District 13 has an independent office building, nine stories high and surrounded by green plants. It looks a bit old.

Human and android executives in black uniforms came and went.

Lu Wen parked the car on the side of the road.

"Let me tell you something first." Xia Chuluo said as he got out of the car: "The badge on my shoulder with three stripes is the third-level executive officer, who has the highest authority under the chief executive officer and 99% of the information. You can check it out.”

Lu Wen took a look, and sure enough, Xia Chuluo had three stripes.

"If there is no bar at all, then they are interns. Most of them are bionic people who are used exclusively by the Executive Directorate to take the blame."

"For example, if you start from scratch, if you are lucky enough to survive and make meritorious deeds in the future, you will gradually upgrade."

What does it mean to be lucky enough not to die

[Danger]

"I have many nicknames in the Executive Directorate. Don't say anything when you hear or see anything later. Just follow me and complete the entry procedures, and then apply to be my assistant."

The two of them walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Executive Bureau while talking.

People were coming and going in the hall.

It's not quiet, it's noisy.

[Beautiful executive]

[…]

Someone was sitting in the corner looking through papers.

There were people gathered around, arguing loudly about the case and expressing their own opinions.

A large screen hangs high in the center of the hall. Case information is scrolling on the screen. Each case is followed by the name of the executive suffixed.

The case that was highlighted was the case of Li Jian's repeated death.

This case also has a very unique code name.

[your name]

It shows that twenty-six executives have intervened in this case, followed by a discussion group account for this case.

“Does each executive work in his own silo?”

The working system of the Executive Board is somewhat different from what Lu Wen imagined.

"Most of them work independently. After passing the assessment or being recommended by a second-level executive officer or above, you can join the executive board." Xia Chuluo once again saw through what Lu Wen was thinking.

"There are also long-term team formations, such as low-level people serving as assistants to high-level people."

"There are also some androids directly under the Executive Directorate. They are usually in a dormant state. When encountering some low-level cases, they are turned on. Usually there are three androids in a group."

Lu Wen thought of the three identical androids he saw in the city center that day.
