Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 343 Matrix

At 2:13 p.m., near the No. 1 apartment building in District 134, Gene sat on a bench, silently smoking a cigarette, and stared at a room with floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side of the sixth floor. I went to work, and the nearby residential area was almost deserted.

On the deserted streets, there is only Jean alone. In such a city with strict citizen hierarchy, only work can make you live comfortably. Jean has noticed these black craftsmen at the top a long time ago.

They are all technical talents, and many of them work in some large technology companies, but occasionally they find ways to make some extra money. This group of people not only use small self-made machines to process some accessories, but also sell some self-made equipment through Some unscrupulous businessmen sell to the bottom.

In order to have craftsman qualifications in the city, not to mention a lot of complicated procedures, the most important thing is the high technical tax and standardization, which also need to be controlled, because they earn more, so they need to pay more taxes. To produce a practical mechanical product, the price ranges from tens of thousands to 10,000+ for small ones, and millions for large ones, and the tax rate starts at 30%.

Most of these machines are engineering material crushing and reduction machines, wall formwork machines, liquid compressors, grinding and recycling machines, etc., as well as core circuit board components for daily necessities, core computing graphics processors for mobile phones, and household appliances. There are many core units, multi-purpose optical mass changers, aerodynamic mass changers and so on.

All technological products in daily life, most schools have such courses. This is a bill passed 30 years ago, which opened up the core technology courses of urban life. Although the tuition fees are expensive, as long as you can graduate successfully, you The salary is not less than 1, and there are various benefits and year-end bonuses.

This approach has advantages and disadvantages. It is beneficial to the faster construction and development of the city. It will not cause the technology to be monopolized by big businessmen. Congress can effectively supervise through taxation. The disadvantage is that many people can master these technologies. If you use these If technology is used to develop weapons, it will be more harmful to cities.

This is also the first time Gene thought of these black craftsmen at the upper level. They may work in a big company during the day, and when they go home at night or during vacations, they will use their spare time to use raw materials obtained from the black market to make machinery. Develop and assemble, and then sell it yourself for huge profits.

The money that was received was rolled up in various shop areas on the ground floor in a circle of well-known white money, which is legal income. There are various legal shops on the upper, middle and lower floors. Most of these craftsmen are The small investors in these legal shops can completely launder the money through various operations and give it to these artisans in a legal name. They only need to pay a fee that is far lower than the tax.

In the past few years, as far as Gene knows, the most rampant flow in the black market is the bio-battery, as well as the light-killing weapons owned by the rioters, which makes Gene have to wonder who most of the black artisans at the upper level are. Provided such a technology has been perfected, and where did the technical funding of the rioters come from.

This is what Gene urgently needs to investigate at the moment. Instead of being led by the nose by those rioters, he plans to jump out and go straight to the source, capital, technology, and materials. As long as he finds any of these three points, other shops The traps opened are just a way to deceive the eyes. It needs to make the rioters really think that the Operations Section is sparing no effort to catch them.

However, Gene went to Morse's shop early this morning, and only under a slight threat, Morse found the exact black craftsmen at noon, and most of these black craftsmen had extra tasks from the company. , are all qualified, but there are so-called defective products that exceed the total amount. Most of these defective products are recovered in the name of processing and recycling, but in fact the company sells these defective products at low prices. It is given to other people who need it. In fact, there are no defective products at all. It is just to avoid high technology taxes and a patent fee for technology inventors. Most of the patent fees will go into the pockets of 10 departments. Because the 3000 people over there are scientists, and they invented most of the things.

These problems have existed for many years, because the urban population is expanding, the city needs to develop, the corresponding supply of technical talents, and the supply of urban technical facilities must also keep up, so that the city can develop rapidly.

Many of the problems left over are now gradually surfacing, contributing to the collapse of the order. When the order cannot bear the huge volume of problems, it will definitely collapse.

Gene let out a puff of smoke, and sure enough, he saw a shirtless man on the balcony, yawning and basking in the sun on a rocking chair on the balcony. He seemed to have just woken up. He walked over slowly with a smile and came to the From the bottom of the sixth floor, he suddenly jumped up.

The man sitting on the balcony looked tired and yawned. He looked about 70 to 20 years old, with fluffy hair and dull eyes. This man was called Yu Youzhen. A level 3 technical specialist, with a monthly salary of 18000, lives a comfortable life. Last night, he stayed up all night to rush to make some things. There are so many orders and work from other places that he can't finish it until the end of next year.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yu Youzhen!"

嗖

Yu Youzhen's eyes widened, seeing a man in uniform appearing in front of him, he was startled, and just about to get up, he found that he was restrained by telekinetic power.

Jin held up a finger and walked over slowly. Yu Youzhen's eyes widened in horror, and she couldn't make a sound in her throat. In an instant, a gust of coolness rose from her back continuously, and her whole body shivered. Goosebumps.

It's over, it's dead now!

"Sorry, Mr. Yu Youzhen, this is an informal investigation, please cooperate, I am Jean, the chief of Section 13!"

"The following is the fourth proposal, which was proposed by Councilor Ada from District 29. The proposal for re-employment of women in District 29 of Bright City and going out of District 29, please take 10 minutes to carefully review it!"

Luo Jiahui sat down after speaking and bowed. Le Xiao hurriedly looked at the content on the light and shadow panel. It was the same as Ada said to her this morning. She wanted to open a vocational training center in District 29 to help women in District 29. He was able to work in some jobs in other districts, but Le Xiao got angry when he saw many councilors whispering smirks, and most of their contemptuous eyes focused on Ada.
