Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City
Chapter 2674 Negotiation
Tommy stared at Gene with serious eyes, Gene lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
"I just like to be exposed to all kinds of knowledge. Isn't this knowledge not taught now?"
Gene asked and Tommy shook his head.
"Now we have upgraded based on this knowledge, some are still taught, but some have changed and become easier."
Gene smiled and nodded, and continued to communicate with Tommy. At this time, the aircraft arrived in the city. Gene looked at some aircraft that kept flying by outside, about the same size as the previous cars.
Some are long or short, and many aircraft look no different from cars in the past. They are surrounded by high-rise buildings, and many buildings have metal parking lots extending outside.
A dense crowd of pedestrians could be seen below. Jean looked at everything now with emotion. The whole city was flashing with neon lights, and above his head were some giant aircraft, and he could feel the heat of the light.
It can be seen that cities rely on these large machines that emit sunlight to ensure temperature. They should be solar lamps, which have functions similar to the sun.
"Is your sunshine the same as the sunshine in the past?"
Gene asked and Tommy shook his head.
"It's a little different from the past. We have screened out the light that is beneficial to the human body and eliminated all the other light that is not beneficial to the human body."
Gene looked at all the aircraft emitting blue tail flames, and thought that this should be a new energy source made from the energy in Steka. Gene thought about it and stared at it seriously. Tommy felt Gene's gaze. asked later.
"Mr. Jean, are you interested in energy?"
Jean nodded.
"Indeed, I'm a little interested. Where did you get this energy?"
Tommy shook his head.
"I don't know about this. This is top-secret information from the three major energy companies. Even we cannot know it. Even some members of Congress don't know it."
Jean hummed, and the aircraft slowly stopped on a platform. There were some soldiers with live ammunition below. When Jean got off, he saw a blond, blue-eyed, tall man wearing a shirt and looking like a smile on his face.
"You must be Mr. Jean, I am Diego, the governor of CA."
Gene shook hands with Diego. The surrounding soldiers looked at Gene alertly. After a glance, Gene found that the weapons they held were different from the weapons of the soldiers he had seen before, and then asked.
"What do the weapons in their hands do?"
The smile on Diego's face froze, and Tommy smiled awkwardly.
"These are just defensive weapons. If a crisis occurs, these weapons can quickly build a defense."
Gene watched with interest, and Tommy immediately called a few soldiers. Now Tommy was becoming more and more curious about Gene's origins, because Gene seemed to know everything about the United States, but it was only in the past. The United States is full of curiosity about the current United States.
Soon several soldiers came over and immediately squatted on the ground. Jean saw this cylindrical weapon, and blue light began to appear. At this time, the light quickly formed some three-dimensional shapes, accompanied by a violent burst of light. sound.
In an instant, something like smoke was sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun, and soon a metal wall appeared in front of him. Jean walked over and pressed against the wall, feeling that the material was very hard. Jean moved slightly, and the wall floated directly into the air. The weight seems average, but the surface density is quite high.
Boom boom.
Gene knocked on the metal, and sure enough, it was hollow inside. Suddenly, Gene clenched his fist and smashed it down. In an instant, the metal was dented, and then penetrated. Everyone present was shocked, because it could There is no such thing as a mutant who can penetrate this kind of alloy steel.
Diego swallowed, Tommy wiped his sweat, and he walked over and asked.
"How about Mr. Jean, is this kind of weapon okay?"
Gene nodded.
"It's really good in combat, but it still has a lot of flaws."
Jean did not explain the defect, but it is certain that this weapon is aimed at Steka. Because Steka's power and speed are far superior to humans, they will use such weapons for close defense, but such Weapons are definitely not effective in large-scale battles.
Gene said and started walking, Diego made a gesture of invitation, and Tommy immediately asked the guards to put away their weapons.
At this time, some red light shines through, and the metal that has become the wall begins to decompose into smoke and returns to the weapon. This is the advantage of this weapon, it can be recycled.
Now Jean is basically certain that the United States is far superior to Brilliant City in terms of mechanical technology, but in terms of combat system technology, it is still inferior to Brilliant City. It seems that they have not developed light and shadow technology.
This should be related to the fact that they were not far from the asteroid crash site from the beginning. In order to verify this conjecture, Gene asked.
"These coastal cities should have only developed in recent years, right?"
Tommy looked at Gene suspiciously.
"That's true, Mr. Jean. No one set foot here until more than 40 years ago, and it's only now that a large number of people have begun to appear. Because there used to be a lot of monsters here, humans couldn't survive. Finally, Congress sent out troops to clean up the area. The enemy is now stable."
Gene nodded. He had basically figured out the current situation. The next step was to talk to these congressmen about the future.
Soon, Jean was taken by Diego to visit the inside of the building. The situation in front of him was still the same as before. Each department had its own office, and many people were handling some things.
After a full tour, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Diego took Jean to the restaurant on the 38th floor. Many things were placed, including meat.
Gene smiled and nodded, and tried to eat some. The taste was pretty good, not much different from the past, and the seasoning method was also similar.
"How is the breeding industry here?"
Diego smiled.
"The breeding industry here is average. Many farmers have moved inland. Because the soil quality here is no longer good, a lot of food is imported from some large farmers."
Diego said, and Jean started to explain. Now Diego also realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this Jean. He was very clear about the affairs of the United States in the past, but he knew little about the present United States.
Tommy also echoed from the side, and Diego said at this time.
"By the way, Mr. Jean, do you want to eat fruit?"
Gene was confused but nodded, and Diego smiled.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jean, we are currently not purchasing fruits here, because the current production of fruit cultivation cannot be supplied to the states, so states with high prices get the right to purchase fruits every year."
After Diego finished speaking, Gene looked at Tommy on the side with confusion. Gene felt that these two guys were lying. Maybe the enemy definitely didn't have fruits.
Gene said with a smile and a nod.
"I see, then there's nothing we can do about it. Thank you for your hospitality."
Gene picked up the seafood and took a bite. It tasted good. It seemed that seafood farming had become an industry. At this time, the eyes of Diego and Tommy changed. There was fear in their eyes because they knew that Gene was From somewhere else.
Let alone fruits in the United States, this technology does not exist at all. Fruits are only exclusive to the Congress. They can only eat them once a year when they attend some meetings of the Congress. This thing is very rare in the United States.
Even if you have money, you can't buy it. Fruit is comparable to gold, and the price is even higher than gold. Since Jean said these words, the two of them are now 100% sure that Jean is not from the United States, because he has no idea about the current situation. The United States simply doesn't understand.
Jean noticed the changes in the two people and confirmed that these two people were 100% lying. The enemy might not have any fruit at all.
After dinner, Diego took Gene to his office. After the three of them sat down, Tommy made black tea and asked.
"Mr. Jean, would you like to add some sugar?"
Jean shook his head.
"I like it bitter."
Soon Jean took a sip of black tea and immediately smiled.
"It's DJL black tea."
The two of them were a little surprised, because they didn't know where this black tea came from, or even what brand it was. Tea is also a rarity in the United States, Di Ge replied with a smile.
"Mr. Jean is really well-informed."
Tommy also nodded hurriedly, and Gene realized that the two of them were still lying. They seemed to have no idea about the DJL brand of black tea, which is one of the top black teas in the United States and its output is very low.
Even now, Jean has guessed that the two of them are suspecting that they are not from the United States, and they have begun to test them. However, Jean is not panic, he will not stay here for a long time.
"Okay, now let's get down to business."
Gene spoke, and Diego nodded.
"Mr. Jean, can you tell me what you want to do here?"
Diego's eyes were serious, and Tommy beside him was panicking inside at this moment, because Gene was like a monster in the dark, extremely terrifying.
Gene lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke and laughed.
"I just wanted to do a social experiment."
The two looked at each other, and Di Ge spoke.
"What kind of social experiment is it specifically? I hope Mr. Jean can talk to us about it. I think there are many things we can talk about."
Gene hummed, stood up and came to the window, and then asked.
"There was no one in CA state 40 years ago. How long did it take for this enemy to develop into what it is now?"
Diego walked over and said.
“It took CA about 20 years to develop into the current situation. We have moved many people from the central part of the country, probably nearly 5 million people. Because it is close to the sea, many goods need to be transported by sea, so this The city developed slowly, as did small cities in other places. We here mainly rely on sea transportation to survive."
Tommy asked as Gene nodded.
"Mr. Jean, what kind of social experiment do you want to conduct?"
Gene laughed.
"Let the slums be completely freed from poverty and become a better place than the city."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them felt extremely shocked. Such a thing was simply impossible.
"Mr. Jean, please forgive me for being rude, it's completely hopeless over there."
Tommy said and Diego nodded.
"why?"
Tommy thought for a moment and sighed.
"The economy of that place used to be good, and many passing ships would dock there, so the economy was good. But gradually, because of its proximity to the sea, many criminals came over, and they began to be lawless there. Although we took some measures measures, but the area was very poor and many institutions could not survive and ended up moving to the edge of the city.”
Tommy said as Gene nodded and smiled.
"Indeed, this is the system of the United States. The poorer the place, the more chaotic it is, while the richer place is very quiet and peaceful."
Tommy continued.
"I used to work for the PLC there, and I witnessed the violence in that place countless times. But now the place is a little better under the control of the gangs. They only need to pay taxes and fees. We will not interfere with everything in the place. , many of the industries they do are black, did you see those ships docked at the port?"
Diego said as Gene nodded.
"Most of those ships would smuggle things that are not allowed by law, so that neighborhood is the first choice for many poor people. Because they don't have to pay a lot of commercial taxes, many people are happy to go to that neighborhood."
Gene asked with a hum.
"So? Why do you think that neighborhood can't develop?"
Diego smiled.
"Because many people in that neighborhood have no knowledge, and many of them have difficulty even writing, let alone making a lot of money, and the neighborhood has been under the influence of criminals for a long time. 80% of the people who come out of that place They are all criminals.”
Jean laughed. This situation was very similar to that of the lower-level people in Bright City in the past. In the past, the practice of the business department was very simple and crude, using a high-pressure posture to make these criminals surrender. They did not dare to commit crimes blatantly, but in private they only They will commit crimes if they find any chance.
But what Le Xiao did later gave Gene a great inspiration. Only by solving the problem from the root can we cut off this chain, so Gene planned to give it a try.
"Give me a period of time and I will take care of the neighborhood. You only need to provide a certain amount of money. As for whether you are worried about whether I will cause trouble, I can tell you for sure that if you did not come to disturb me, I would not It’s going to cause trouble.”
With Gene's words, Diego and Tommy were relieved, Diego said.
"It's absolutely fine, Mr. Jean. You can do whatever you want. We will provide you with some financial support. I just hope that Mr. Jean will not make any drastic moves again. What happened in the past few days has already made me sad." We are devastated."
Gene laughed, then lit a cigarette and nodded.
"I promise not to do anything like this, but I have the final say on the operation of the entire slum area. As for taxes, I hope you will carefully consider the current actual situation."
Tommy nodded.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jean, if you just tell me, we can directly waive part of the taxes and fees."
