Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Area 119 started to get lively. Many people from the barrier area took their keys and headed to their new houses under the leadership of some staff. In front of them was an apartment building with all facilities.

The apartment building does not adopt a full AI mode of management, but is very ordinary in construction, similar to other areas on the ground floor. If you want to renovate it in the future, you can add all the supporting facilities like a mid-rise apartment building.

It is a 20-story apartment building with 10 rooms on each floor. There is an elevator in the middle and stairs on the left. The architectural model of this small building is very retro.

But the overall layout was quite reasonable. Surrounded by a group of people, Le Xiao followed. Those who settled in first followed some staff to understand the situation of the elevators and stairs.

A woman with two children from the barrier area opened the door of Room 101. In an instant, reporters began to take photos in rapid succession. There was joy in the woman's eyes. Le Xiao walked over. Although the corridor was narrow and more than 2 meters wide, But it's more than enough for an apartment of this size.

Le Xiao followed several reporters and walked in. Le Xiao happily looked at the living room with a good size, as well as two rooms, a kitchen and bathroom. For a house of 60 square meters, it is already very large with such an area.

Le Xiao couldn't help but remember that more than half a year ago, she worked in the middle floor and rented a small room separated by soundproof panels. It was only 10 square meters, only enough for a bed and a table, and a small bathroom.

Although the monthly rent is not expensive, the cost of practical light and shadow furniture is several hundred a month. All the furniture here is physical. Le Xiao took a look and found that it was produced by the Ebolen family.

Previously, the Ebolen family produced a large amount of physical furniture and failed to report it in order to evade taxes. Michelle found out later. When she thought of this, Le Xiao looked at Elok.

The staff was explaining the things in the house to the woman. There was a set of modular sofas in the living room, and both bedrooms were on high-rise boats. If necessary, the high-rise boats could be raised a little higher, and floor bunks could be built below. .

All the facilities are new, and there are many cooking utensils in the kitchen, all of which have not been opened. Le Xiao can see that the woman in front of her is very excited, and she can't stop wiping tears.

Her two children, one aged eight and one four, were sitting on the sofa, smiling excitedly. The only light and shadow equipment in the whole house was the light and shadow screen.

Although there are reserved access points for light and shadow materials in other places, they may not be used in the short term. As the staff brought out the light and shadow screen, it was quickly adjusted to today's live broadcast. Le Xiao looked at the light and shadow on the screen. Himself, said with a smile.

"This kind of light and shadow screen is only 21 inches. I remember it only costs about 40 yuan a month, even if I watch it every day."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, the woman nodded happily. She had been helping out with her children on the edge of the city. She earned nearly 30 yuan a day and bought some things. Now she still has more than 1,000 yuan in her hand.

Moreover, for every person who settles here and obtains citizenship, the administrative department will fully subsidize them for water and electricity for three months, that is, they do not need to pay water and electricity bills within three months, and the cost of children’s education will be within the next 6 years. Free of charge.

Within a year, they will be able to stabilize their lives and fully integrate into the bright city. Le Xiao watched the reporters interviewing the women, wiping away tears and talking about their experiences.

Reporters had almost filled the room. Le Xiao stood by the window and watched as a large number of people from the barrier area began to move in. She glanced at the sunlight on the window sill. The exterior wall of the building used the best photoelectric conversion coating. , can absorb sunlight to the greatest extent and convert it into electrical energy.

The hydropower station redesigned by the Angus family is now in operation. The only problem that people in these barrier areas have to face now is that they need to walk to the 118th District next door to buy some daily necessities.

At present, the Phoebus family has begun to recruit businesses, and many of the people they recruit are people from the bottom. Section 1 is still strictly reviewing the qualifications of these individual businessmen.

Now the business structure at the bottom has basically been determined. Businessmen with large capital are not allowed to enter, and only businessmen with individual or small capital are allowed. This is to prevent monopoly in some regions.

This can promote healthy competition, and there will be no malicious competition to monopolize the market. The bottom layer does not need to develop too fast. Le Xiao realized this a long time ago.

There is no need for the bottom class to follow the footsteps of the middle and upper class to develop, they just need to maintain the original rhythm of life.

More and more people from the barrier area are coming in, and some go to District 120. People living in District 120 can only go to District 61 next door to buy daily necessities. In the past, the factory area in the west was separated from District 120.

Because crime was rampant in the past, businessmen built a long separation wall to separate District 120 and District 119 in order to solve the problem once and for all. Now these walls have been demolished.

The new public security management office and other administrative department facilities have been built. Currently, a total of 100 officers have been stationed in the 1st, 4th, 5th and 7th departments.

Because all parts of the city are relatively busy now, we can only wait for more and more people to move here in the future, and then slowly station them.

Now the administrative department is in urgent need of people, so after the examination of the administrative department is over, a model of one old and three new will be adopted. After passing the examination, the department members will study for a short period in the administrative department school and then directly follow the older departments. members perform tasks.

Currently, there are more than 260,000 people in the practice department, and Alpha plans to expand the practice department to 400,000 people in the next few years.

For a big city that is about to have a population of over 40 million, this number of people is far from enough.

Le Xiao felt a little helpless as she listened to the woman behind her talking about her past. At this time, the reporters dispersed to interview other residents.

Le Xiao stood up and left the room. Before leaving, she said to the woman.

"Come on, life will definitely become better in the future."

The woman said thank you gratefully.

After Le Xiao left the room, he went directly to the elevator. Although there was only one elevator, it could carry 50 people at a time, which was enough to meet the needs of 200 households in this apartment.

Le Xiao and a bunch of people entered the elevator. The elevator rose slowly. When it reached the 20th floor, Le Xiao stepped out. There were no residents on the 20th floor yet. Le Xiao planned to go to the rooftop to take a look.

After getting on the rooftop, Le Xiao looked at the simple clothes drying racks that had been fixed in front of him. They could be put away when not in use. The design was very convenient. Some protective measures were installed around the rooftop, and they were invented by small workshops on the ground floor. An automatic sensing device.

Just at the edge of the building, once something over a certain weight falls, the decoration below will instantly pop up a net to wrap the fallen thing, and some airbags in the net will instantly pop up, even if someone accidentally falls. , can also be saved.

This small invention was brought by a small businessman when Lexiao was in the mechanical ball experience store. Now this application has been used in some high-rise buildings or high-altitude operations in the city, and there are cases of successfully saving people who fell from the building.

Le Xiao pressed her hands on the guardrail, happily overlooking the apartment buildings and some other facilities. Only one-fifth of the entire area was completed, and the remaining parts still needed to be constructed slowly.

Because the labor gap in the entire Bright City is very large, Le Xiao began to accept interviews with them.

After the interview ended, it was already past 12 o'clock, and Le Xiao was invited to have dinner with the Phoebes family.

After a while, Le Xiao followed Locke to the construction center of Phoebes' house. The food was ready, and Le Xiao smiled happily.

Locke looked at Lexiao in front of him and smiled slightly awkwardly.

"You can listen to my idea later."

Le Xiao nodded.

"Okay, let's talk while eating."

After sitting down, Le Xiao took a look. Many of the dishes on the table were home-cooked dishes, but there was no wine. Le Xiao looked at Locke and smiled.

"Let's have a drink."

Locke laughed.

"I forgot about it. Wait a few minutes and I'll have someone bring it over right away."

Le Xiao looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly said no, but soon Locke's grandson turned around and left the room, while Luo Ziyun looked at Le Xiao.

Luo Ziyun thought to herself.

It got bad, and I really became a complete drunkard. I always think about drinking when it’s time to eat.

"Let me tell you first the general thoughts of the other families."

After Le Xiao finished speaking, Locke nodded. Le Xiao briefly explained some of the ideas that the family members talked about yesterday. Luo Ziyun added some points that confused Locke.

"As expected of Director Locke's daughter, although she is young, she is very capable."

Luo Ziyun said hurriedly.

"Mr. Locke, I just had capable parents growing up. They taught me everything, which is not worthy of praise."

Locke smiled and nodded, and Lexiao smiled awkwardly.

Locke had actually thought about what the majority of the family would build the North into early on. Indeed, the plan proposed by the family was excellent. It was undeniable that it could solve the employment problem of the people in the barrier areas who moved into the city, and it also It can reduce the pressure on the western factory area.

But if this is really done, when the barrier zone starts to build agricultural bases on a large scale in the future, they will encounter unprecedented troubles, and many people may not want to leave the city.

Judging from the previous agricultural experimental base in the barrier area, many workers in the city are unwilling to go out for construction because they cannot adapt to everything in the barrier area, so it is best to let the original people in the barrier area participate in the subsequent construction. They have already Adapted to everything in the barrier zone.

This is the advantage of people who live in the barrier area all year round. These advantages allow them to integrate into the construction faster. As long as the sun can shine into the barrier area, their working environment will not be too bad.

"Tell me what you think, Mr. Locke."

Le Xiao said, when she bought the wine, Le Xiao stood up awkwardly and said thank you.

"My idea is actually very simple. The terrain in the north is relatively high, because that area was developed due to mining. After the mining ended, it began to decline. Many old houses were not planned, resulting in many houses. There are already pipes for light and shadow substances underground, but it is very difficult to connect them to the house."

Le Xiao nodded, and Locke continued.

“The north should be developed into a freight area.”

Le Xiao scratched her head, completely at a loss. Then Locke waved, and a staff member came over and opened a light and shadow screen. Le Xiao exclaimed.

"That's it, it's pretty good."

Locke said with a smile.

"I think it is unreasonable to rely on flying to transport, because the wear and tear of the landing gear will be very serious, and long-term air transport is obviously not possible. So I think it is the most ideal to build the northern part into a cargo terminal. Future Barrier Zone The agricultural base is fully built, how can we transport so much food to the city? And the minerals from the mines in the barrier area?"

Le Xiao looked at a concept map excitedly. Railway tracks passed directly from the north and were directly connected to the barrier area, and there were railway tracks in the barrier area, crisscrossing each other.

"As long as the future agricultural base is fully constructed and the mine begins to be mined, comprehensive calculations are made and the railway tracks are laid. In the future, all goods from the barrier area can enter the city directly through the north of the city, and the north will be directly distributed. In the end, it will be much more convenient to use logistics pipelines, which will not only promote the development of the north, but also promote the development of the city. There is no need to worry about other areas needing to accept goods from the barrier area, which will require reconstruction, and the current Vehicles can also be used on the ring road. This creates a closed loop for transportation, and all things in the city that are transported to the barrier area can be transported out of the southern guard station or by air. "

Le Xiao nodded immediately.

"Mr. Locke, I think this is a great plan. Let's finish eating quickly and go directly to the General Affairs Department. Sister Alpha should be discussing this matter with the entire family today."

Locke nodded.

"Okay, let's have a drink, and I think the ore mined from the mines can be directly refined and built on-site according to some factory orders in the city to build some raw material processing plants. In this way, pollution will not be brought to the city."

Le Xiao hummed. Looking at this concept map, Le Xiao felt that the entire city would become brighter and brighter in the future.

This kind of design is indeed amazing. In the next century, Brilliant City will be able to drive the overall economy in this round-trip cycle, and everyone will not join in the fun just because one place is busy.

It is indeed good to use the north as a receiving point for logistics, and on the concept map, there are some areas marked where large storage warehouses can be built. After all, if the sun shines on the barrier area in the future, then the barrier area will also A lot of small towns.

After all, the management of farmland and the mining of mines require people.

Le Xiao stood up and shouted while holding up his wine glass.

"It's a beautiful day today, let's all have a drink."
