Interstellar Railway: Start to Build a Foundation

“I think that’s a good question, and I think the Manglas should mix concrete 42 when casting planets, because it can easily directly affect proton unfolding, you know? When you smash it in, it will produce a large amount of high-energy protein in an instant, commonly known as a supernova explosion…”

“If this trend continues, I am afraid that not a dog in this town will have the foundation badge.”

“I have a question, what happens next if a cop and a fugitive both find each other’s foundation badges? Go through the judicial process, or deal with it directly in accordance with the rules of the foundation? ”

“First of all, make your identity clear, Xianzhou Luofu Ten Kings Division intern, your question is very acute, in essence, it is a conflict between the judicial sovereignty of the state and the supranational power of the foundation, and the final implementation depends on the relationship between the two sides… However, from now on, it is estimated that the judicial process will be carried out first, and then the foundation will secretly take over. ”

“In this world, only taxes, death and foundations are inevitable.”

……

The screen switches and comes to a somewhat humble office.

The white walls hang the foundation’s icon, and tin cabinets are stuffed with various file bags.

Behind a desk of some years sat a woman of some age.

“…… I’m sorry, but it’s confidential and even I don’t know. ”

Her name is Mu Ruyun, and she is a site manager in the Foundation’s C region.

Across from the desk, five couples, ten people in total, were standing at this time.

Yesterday, Yan Xiangyang called the good brothers one by one and told them what he had found.

So, when all the men returned home, they revealed their secrets to their wives.

At that time, they were holding ID badges in one hand and memory erasure pills in the other.

Fortunately, not a single pill was swallowed.

Unfortunately, not a single pill was swallowed.

Seeing that the supervisor did not want to violate the rules of the foundation, Pang Xiangrong’s wife thought of a roundabout method:

“Well, how many employees are there in this site?”

Mu Ruyun shook her head:

“I don’t know.”

Shen 837 was silent for a moment.

Yan Xiangyang asked:

“How many people in our town work here?”

“I don’t know.”

Tian Yongan pursed his lips and figured out the trick:

“Please, Director Mu, we don’t need exact numbers.”

He followed suit.

“We just need a rough percentage.”

“You can erase our memories afterwards, aren’t you at all curious about such an amazing coincidence?”

“Imagine your child, your parents showing you their foundation badge after seeing it…”

Mu Ruyun hesitated for a moment, blinking her eyes continuously.

After some painful struggle, she finally set her sights on the side of the screen, and after unlocking it layer by layer, entered the personnel file.

She overcame firewalls that prevented full access to data and found the number of staff from the town.

Then find the total population of the region on the official website of the Bureau of Statistics.

She opens the calculator and divides the two results.

Then fell silent, like a plaster statue, gazing at it.

Eventually, a group approached her table to see what she had calculated.

0.**……

“How many people does the foundation employ?”

This time it was her turn to ask the question.

……

“Le, as a result, this supervisor didn’t know how many people he had under him before?”

“It seems that most of the people in the foundation are unpaid, otherwise this director must have been impressed by this.”

“I guess the boss in charge doesn’t know anything about it either.”

Qingquan yawned, rubbed his waist, and changed positions.

She now has some envy of the characters in the story:

“It would be great if you didn’t have to go to work or see your boss to get paid, and you can do whatever you want at other times.”

Then, she smiled “hehe” and remembered the big name made today – “Dragon Seven Pair”.

……

The screen switches to a luxurious and simple conference room.

On the white wall is projected the Foundation’s icon, below which is the Foundation’s purpose:

“We control, we contain, we protect.”

At the round table, there were several people sitting around, most of them dressed in formal clothes, with foundation badges on their chests, and corresponding name tags on the table.

But neither the badge nor the name tag wrote their real names, nor did they have a long list of numbers.

Instead, it starts with “O5” with a dash in the middle as a connection to keep up with a small number.

For example, “O5-8,” a woman who looks at least 50 years old.

“O5”, referring to the O5 Parliament.

If you like, you can also give it a different name, such as: “O5 Command”, “Supervisor”, “Overseer”.

But no matter how the name is changed, its essence will always point to the highest controller of the foundation under the administrator.

Every O5 member knows almost everything about the Foundation and all its activities.

Taken together, everyone will know every secret that the Foundation holds, except for administrators.

Most foundation personnel don’t see them throughout their careers. People below level 2 don’t even know they exist. Most people outside the foundation have never heard of them, or don’t feel like they really exist.

In this room, there are several O5 council members.

“8”, which refers to the seat, can also be called “number eight”.

A number does not correspond to a person alone.

There may be more than one person holding a numeric number at the same time.

Among them, false and false, true and false, are used to confuse potential enemies while protecting themselves.

O5-8, a woman in her fifties.

She was holding the telephone receiver at this time, frowning:

“…… Tell the director that the information is confidential, as she knows. ”

Then she put down the phone and looked at another member not far away.

“O5-4, that’s his code name.

“What do you mean we don’t know?”

O5-8’s tone is full of incredulity.

This…… Too ridiculous.

As the supreme authority of the foundation, it is impossible to even know how many employees the foundation has.

And it’s not a top secret, it doesn’t involve memes, anti-memes, reality distortions, or supreme divinity…

Why is this?

This situation generally means that an organization will be infiltrated into a sieve by the opponent.

“Well, you know how we work, Number Eight.” (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

O5-4 shrugged and tried to put his foot on the conference table.

But under the pressure of other people’s eyes, he gave up the attempt.

“The more you know, the more dangerous it is, and this is no exception for us.”

“In addition, there has never been an exact figure regarding the number of our personnel movements-”

“Well, I need an answer, just to satisfy my curiosity. Number three, you know what? ”

“Hmm… I know, “that voice is coming from the computer,” it is… Uh…”

A number jumps on the screen and other O5 council members watch it.

“……”

The conference room fell into a dead silence, like before the birth of the universe, and like after the universe was silent.

O5-5 coughed lightly:

“In a way, the outside world still doesn’t know anything about anomalies?”

The anomaly here is a general term for all supernatural related events and things, not just one of the supernormal events, containments, abnormal objects, etc.

But…… When half of the world’s population becomes employees of the foundation, even if there are a considerable number of temporary workers in it …

Is there still a need for confidentiality?

“I don’t know,” O5-8 replied, the corners of his mouth tightening, “but I’m going to find out.” ”

The first question is answered.

Now comes the second, bigger issue.

……

“Wowjiri, civilization has not yet entered the interstellar age, and the foundation already has nearly 3.5 billion employees? That’s more than the entire Ming clan combined…”

“Can’t hold back, the foundation originally developed as a secret organization, but after developing for a while, I found that the world seems to be full of foundation people…”

“Foundation agent: The other organization, except for the eldest brother, the others are all our people, when will the opposite big brother also be replaced by our people.”

“Is this the O5 Council? How do they feel so much inferior to the administrators, don’t they notice that the foundation’s budget is soaring? ”

“With so many containments, foundations are certainly not constrained by the financial system.”

“Is there a possibility that the administrator lord of this period is not ridiculously strong, just like a mortal who has not yet been promoted to a star god, at most has some extraordinary abilities.”

……

With the will of the O5 Council, an invisible storm is accumulating energy, which is transmitted from top to bottom.

The outcome of this operation will determine the attitude of humanity in the face of anomalies everywhere.

It is to continue to cover the existence of the abnormality, to protect the ignorant who may exist;

Or let people turn a blind eye to this and directly disclose some things that do not need to be kept secret.

This order may not be very good for the readers of a certain library.

No matter where they were, when they had a library card, they were frightened by an incomparably terrifying sound.

The voice sounded above their heads:

“All library patrons from Bluestar, Timeline B-173, please raise your hands, the curator needs to conduct a personnel investigation.”

The curator pushed his glasses and hurriedly glanced at the letter in front of him.

Then, your tail and start pointing:

“Now let’s see…”

“1、2、3……”

When that number came to five figures, looking at the number remaining, he wished he could have a few fingers.

……

And on another side of the planet.

The critic, named Jack Dawkins, observed the information displayed in front of him and then turned to the fax in his hand.

“They’re all here?”

The painter in front of him replied:

“Yes, critic, every dot on the map represents an active artist in the world, and this conclusion is based on your ’09 year-”

“Yes, I see it.” The tone of the critic makes it clear that he is not satisfied with what derives from his work.

The painter hesitated:

“Uh… Theoretically, when you press this button, you will kill some artists, or at least make them unable to create, those without us…”

“Damn it!”

Criticism of domestic violence is thunderous.

“How many times have I said that Don’t do this, is there any fucking point in killing people who admire them?”

“Pure art is about getting a message out to people! How can your audience be stupid enough to get information from a piece that can twist their head and stick it into donkey poop or shit? ”

“That’s not art, that’s!”

Overwhelmed by Jack Dawkins’ saliva, and frightened by his not-so-pleasant roar.

After a few minutes, the painter took pity on Baba and cautiously probed it:

“Then…”

“So… Should I use it to get rid of people who hurt the audience with art? ”

The critic instantly changed his face, and then buried his head in the palm of his hand:

“No, I have a sense of foreboding that the rest of the people may be less than three figures…”

“I’d rather live in ignorance, just hide deadly memes and send them out.”

“……”

Directive by order, message by message, issued by the various executive agencies under the O5 parliament, are sent to all parts of the world.

And this is just a small twist and turn in the process of answering a question.
