Homo sapiens.

The hovercraft turned around and returned in the direction of Nepenthes City.

As the hovercraft got closer and closer to Nepenthes City, the outline of the magnificent city became more and more clearly visible. Julia and the others were no longer surprised by this magnificent city.

There are currently dozens of such tall cities in the Amazon rainforest.

Nepenthes City is just one of them.

The entire Nepenthes City is not a whole, but is divided into five districts, with an interval of about 500 meters between each district.

The hovercraft stops below the XC area with a small dock below.

Soon.

A large elevator descends to the river, and the driver drives the hovercraft into the elevator. After the buckle device inside the elevator locks the hovercraft, it starts to lift upwards.

Cumulonimbus clouds in the distance are also close to the city.

The damp wind blows Julia's hair, she sits on the edge of the hovercraft, overlooking the endless forest.

The distance of 50 meters passed by in a flash.

The elevator stopped firmly in the elevator station.

At this time, it had started to rain heavily outside.

But this does not affect the inside of the city, because the Nepenthes City has a dome, and the entire urban area is wrapped under the dome.

Walking out of the elevator station, Julia came to the first floor of the XC district.

On the 50-meter-high ceiling above the block is a simulated sun, which is specially designed to reduce depression.

The entire XC area is divided into 4-story blocks, each of which is 50 meters high. Inside the block are streets and alleys and various buildings.

The climate simulation system of the first floor block sets the subtropical climate here, which is also one of the more common simulated climates.

Julia and her team returned to their office building in a shared car.

The streets of this block are full of artificial cultivation institutions for various tropical plants. In fact, the entire XC area is a scientific research work area.

The areas of daily life are in Midtown, DC and South City, and the production area is in North City.

The pillar industries of Nepenthes City are tropical rainforest biological research, aquaculture, and auto parts.

As for the transportation in this city, apart from a part of the overhead railway that has been opened to traffic, the other two transportation methods are airships and airplanes.

Airships and airplanes can land directly on the domed deck above the city, without the need for an additional airport.

As for the roads on the ground, Nepenthes City, like other new cities in the Amazon rainforest, still has few ground roads to communicate with the outside world.

This kind of planning is actually a kind of adaptation to local conditions based on the local natural environment.

Building roads in the Amazon rainforest is really too bad, the cost is higher than building overhead railways, and the maintenance cost is also scary.

At the time when the economy of the Redwood Federation was relatively good, many roads were built in the Amazon rainforest. Now those roads have become potholes, and even the roads have disappeared in some places.

The Homo sapiens company learned the experience and lessons of the Redwood Federation, gave up the idea of ​​​​building ground roads, and went directly to overhead railways and airships.

Therefore, if you want to enter the Amazon rainforest now, you can only cross the uninhabited virgin rainforest without going through the overhead railway and airline controlled by Homo sapiens, and the danger will rise sharply.

Chapter 5 Problems brought about by new technologies

Julia and the others returned to the office building.

Once inside, she meets Corina, a rainforest insect researcher next door.

"Julia, are you free tonight?"

Julia rolled her eyes: "Mr. Collina, please put away that wild pheromone on your body?"

Hearing this, Corina was dejected: "Is it still not working? Doesn't it mean that girls always have a suitable pheromone? I have tried all the pheromones so far, why do you still have no feelings for me?"

"Sorry, Mr. Collina, I don't have the desire to mate with you, please don't bother me anymore, or I will complain to the supervisor."

After speaking, Julia left without looking back.

And Collina was ridiculed by several of his colleagues, his face flushed.

Back in her office, Julia felt helpless and complained to several colleagues.

Her team leader Fujiwara Yuriko heard about this, but instead of laughing, she asked Julia for some details.

After hearing Julia's explanation, Fujiwara Yuriko was a little angry: "It seems that I want to propose to the company to strengthen the management of personal abuse of pheromone induction."

"Leader, don't be so serious, right? After all, Corina didn't cause any impact." An ecological investigator scratched his head hesitantly.

However, Yuriko Fujiwara did not pretend that it had never happened: "Your vigilance is too low. Even if this incident did not cause direct harm to Julia, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems in the future. Wait until something happens to solve it, and the victim will suffer. How to make up for the damage?"

She obviously saw the hidden risks.

Julia can ignore the induction of pheromones, because the other party really did not find Julia's pheromone receptor type.

But not everyone is as lucky as Julia, and some people's pheromone receptors are easier to be tested.

In fact, the company's field business department has a special research organization in this area, and then applies this result to those commercial investigators lurking around the world.

Not only can it easily produce approachable, warm sunshine, and good eye relations, but even some animals can also obey the investigator's vague instructions.

And from the beginning, the biochip itself had hidden functions induced by pheromones and hormones.

Yuriko Fujiwara knows that the company definitely has applications in this area, but it does not mean that she will accept personal applications as well, because the two are different.

The company's pheromone-inducing applications are used in internal management, external investigations, and work.

The high probability of personal application of pheromone induction is to satisfy one's own selfish desires, which often touches some gray areas.

Yuriko Fujiwara, who was very sensitive, immediately wrote a strongly worded report based on the fact that Collina used pheromones to try to induce Julia to go into heat, and sent it directly to the supervision department.

three days later.

After three layers of screening and review, this special complaint came to Fang Xincheng, who was in charge of the supervision department.

When Fang Xincheng found this complaint, his face showed a trace of anger: "Xueyi, help me apply for a video call with the chairman."

Assistant Maung Xueyi nodded: "Okay."

Fang Xincheng put that complaint aside, and then continued to look through other documents.

That night, around 21:[-] Southeast Asian time, Fang Xincheng prepared the documents and report content, and then waited for Li Qingye to go online in the video conference room.

A countdown timer pops up on the screen.

As soon as Li Qingye appeared, he greeted with concern: "Old Fang, long time no see, please pay attention to your health."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your concern. I'm in good health." Fang Xincheng is only in his early fifties, and with Homo sapiens' life extension technology, he is actually middle-aged now.

"what's the matter?"

"It's mainly about an internal complaint, and the chairman needs to make up his mind." Fang Xincheng sent the complaint document over.

After Li Qingye received it, he looked it over at a glance, and then narrowed his eyes slightly: "Personally using pheromones to induce things in private should really be taken seriously. This Fujiwara Yuriko is pretty good. You can assign her to cooperate with the work. I will let the regulation adjustment department make a decision." A specific management plan."

"Okay, although this incident did not cause serious problems, the bad influence behind it still needs to be highly vigilant. I will lead the supervision department to fully investigate and supervise this matter." Fang Xincheng replied very seriously.

"Well, I don't worry if you do things."

After Fang Xincheng went offline.

Li Qingye called Santos Dutt, the person in charge of the rule adjustment department, over for a video conference.

Santos was also one of the early patriarchs of Homo Sapiens, a member of the Luzon Dutt family.

The rule adjustment department he is in charge of is a department that formulates various management regulations and rules for the company.

"Mr. Chairman, good afternoon!"

"Good evening, Santos."

The greeting between the two was not a slip of the tongue, but caused by jet lag. At this time, it was still noon in Africa, but it was night in Southeast Asia.

Santos knew that Li Qingye didn't like nonsense, so he asked directly: "Mr. Chairman, is there any new change that I can help you with?"

Li Qingye forwarded the document that Fang Xincheng sent to him just now, and then forwarded it to Santos: "This is a complaint received by the Supervision Department, please take a look first."

"No problem, I excuse myself."

"Ah."

Santos hastened to scan it quickly, and in less than 5 minutes, he figured out the cause and effect.

After facing the camera again, Santos asked directly: "Does Mr. Chairman want us to formulate a management regulation for pheromones and hormones?"

"Well, in principle, individuals must be prohibited from using pheromones and hormones in private, especially non-body-type pheromones and hormones."

Santos nodded, and then he put forward some of his own opinions: "Mr. Chairman, if this is the case, should we strengthen the protection of personal pheromone receptors and include it in the category of personal privacy?"

"...pheromone receptors?" Li Qingye thought for a while, and felt that Santos' words were very reasonable, so he nodded:

"Yes, in the future, the medical department will regulate the management of employees' personal pheromone receptor targets. Except for approved laboratory research or special treatment, other subsidiaries are not allowed to privately collect employees' pheromone receptor targets. Click for information."

Santos asked a lot of questions again, and only after he had figured out Li Qingye's opinion did he go offline.

Soon the rule adjustment department quickly formulated a temporary pheromone management plan, and sent it to the medical department, supervision department, science department, and a number of related branches and subsidiaries.

The terrifying program self-adjustment speed of Homo sapiens has allowed the management of pheromone use to be quickly regulated and restricted.

Especially for synthetic and non-ontological pheromones and hormones, their restrictions are written into the biochip.

Even if employees want to attract the opposite sex, they can only use the natural pheromones and hormones in their bodies, which depends on whether the pheromones and pheromone receptors of both parties can match.

If, as before, privately use synthetic or other animal pheromones to induce others, it is a violation of the company's regulations.

Corina, a rookie, actually doesn't use pheromone induction at all. The process of using it is too extensive and wild, and it is easier for other people with biochips to detect abnormalities.

If it is a well-trained elite business investigator, it is possible to complete the induction within a month or two without the other party noticing.

Although this kind of induction is not brainwashing and hypnosis, it is very useful just to make a person feel good.

Chapter 5 and Three Work Hard

Fujiwara Yuriko was transferred to the supervision department.

Julia and others also knew the cause and effect of the incident. The occurrence of this incident did not make them have any bad views on the company, but they loved the company even more.

After all, this is a company that can quickly see its own problems and quickly make benign adjustments.

Unlike some century-old companies, who clearly know their own company's problems, they are selectively blind, pretending to be deaf and dumb all day long.

If Yuriko Fujiwara was in her hometown's Dongying enterprise, she dared to ask questions and waited for her consequences. At least she would pack up and leave, and at worst she would be resolved.

Why is there still an endless stream of Dongying people who come to Homo Sapiens to work permanently.

On the one hand, the benefits are very good.

On the other hand, the Dongying people have a serious musing mentality.

At the same time, the Sapiens company is in line with their spiritual core. After all, there are too many things left in the feudal era of thousands of years, and there are still a lot of chaebols in Japan.

Staying in Dongying is also working for the chaebol for a lifetime, so why not choose to go to Sapiens Company?

At least Homo sapiens is really fair within the company. Apart from the fact that there is no way to become the chairman, it is also possible for ordinary employees to work hard to become branch managers and head office department heads.

You are in other places and want to work in the company's management?

It doesn't matter, without money, without a good father, it is more difficult than crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.

And other companies, in the process of competing for employment, are very dangerous. If you are not careful, it is not just as simple as losing your job, but in serious cases, you may even lose your family.

On Homo Sapien’s side, everyone competes for jobs within the rules. As long as they don’t qualify, at most they fail to advance.

Moreover, many employees are not very interested in entering the company's management, they just want to live in peace and stability.

Therefore, the competition inside Homo sapiens company seems to be very fierce, but everyone's mentality is relatively peaceful, and there is no such kind of life-and-death and intrigue.

After all, Li Qingye is not blind. There are so many monitoring agencies inside, just to see clearly the abilities and working abilities of all employees.

The kind of guy who is not capable and likes to play tricks, there is no way to get promoted in Homo sapiens company.

Therefore, under the internal competition mechanism of Homo sapiens, most of the employees who failed the competition were convinced by the employees who were promoted.

If the ability is not as good as that of the other party, then naturally there is nothing to say.

Why do bottom-level employees often disobey their superiors or management in many century-old companies around the world?

The reason is very simple, because some people do not rely on their own ability to go up, but rely on relationships, money, fighting for fathers, flattery and flattery.
