The world enters the age of myth

For the majority of people, nothing else matters. The most important thing is actually the housing issue. Who doesn’t want to own a house with a larger living area? However, the living area is still limited. Even if many rooms are vacated and moved to Kunlun Mountain, the space of Yunhai and Hope combined will still be limited.

It is unrealistic for everyone to live in a large house of 100 square meters.

Now that the government has released its plans, the issue of housing has naturally become the loudest voice and the subject of most discussion. Government-related websites receive thousands of different opinions every day.

But the distribution of houses is related to social fairness. Every inch of the shelter is considered state-owned property. If the distribution is unfair and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, it will inevitably bring about social chaos and further lead to instability in people's hearts.

If everyone eats from the same pot and people with high abilities live in the same house as people with low abilities, it is not necessarily a good thing, and it will hinder development efficiency to a certain extent. Not everyone can be selfless and would rather sacrifice their own interests to contribute to the entire society.

Therefore, a relative balance must be achieved between "fairness" and "efficiency".

In response to this problem, policy-making officials have also been cautious and formulated multiple plans. The government has held more than a dozen symposia, large and small, and one or two meetings almost every day.

Finally, on the 40th day of the meeting between Hope and Unkai, experts from both sides finally discussed a fairly reliable plan: real estate tax!

Based on the total residential area of ​​the two shelters combined, the per capita residential area can be calculated. Anyone can apply for a new house according to this number.

If the area is lower than the per capita residential area, you only need to pay a small amount of rent. Even if the area is below a certain level, you do not need to pay rent at all and you can live for free.

No matter what happens, people will not be homeless. The policy in this area is quite complicated. The amount of exemptions for middle-aged and elderly people, minors and adults is different.

However, if the house applied for by an individual exceeds the per capita residential area, he will naturally have to pay more property tax according to a certain proportion.

The bigger the house, the more expensive the property tax paid to the government is, which is equivalent to a kind of rent.

This prevents everyone from rushing to apply for a big house, and if they fail to apply, they will suffer from pink eye.

Because you have to pay, if you fail to create greater value and your income is not high enough, isn’t it natural to live in a smaller house? It’s not like there’s no house to live in. There are also free ones, but the living area is a bit smaller.

So, according to this method, those who have the ability to live in a larger room need to pay property tax; those who have the ability to live in a small house that is free only need to pay the water and electricity bill, which is also very reasonable. .

It can also subsidize fiscal revenue to a certain extent and carry out effective payment transfers, killing two birds with one stone.

The government's expenditures are actually quite large. There are so many soldiers to support, and so many scientists are applying for funding. How can we do research without money?

There are also various maintenance tasks for shelters that have to be funded by the government. Asking ordinary people to pay for the maintenance of shelters...definitely not many people are willing to do so.

But the government cannot print money at will. With such a small population and average spending power, if it prints too much money, it will inevitably cause massive inflation. It would be a fool to completely collapse one's own economy.

The addition of property tax effectively subsidizes fiscal revenue. High-income people pay more taxes and enjoy better enjoyment. It is naturally a win-win choice.

Of course, there is also a very important point. In order to promote the population flow between the two sides, the governments of both sides have also promulgated other subsidy policies. Citizens of the Unkai who apply for the Hope will receive additional rental subsidies and can enjoy greater benefits in turn. area.

The same goes for the residents of the Hope!

It's easy to shake people's hearts, but it's hard to shake interests. In front of a bigger house, terms such as neighbors and hometown all disappear. The enthusiasm of the people is simply beyond imagination!

This policy can speed up the flow of personnel and better complete the merger work.

The national righteousness of science and technology is all illusory, but the benefits obtained are real...

However, although the merger of both parties is urgent and will bring huge benefits to everyone, experts from both sides have always maintained rigorous considerations and worked cautiously to strive to be the best in details.

The first thing to consider is competition. The absence of competition in a technological society means laziness and corruption. Being in the system means an iron rice bowl for ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, state-owned enterprises will not fire employees on a large scale.

In this case, once entering the system, there will always be people who are lazy and lazy. This is also human nature. If the industry is monopolized, such as the electric power, information, security industries, or even the food industry, these industries are most likely to have monopolies. Once laziness occurs, it may even evolve into a kind of arrogance. Past history has fully proved this. Top-level designers Naturally, there is a beautiful vision, but when it is implemented at the grassroots level, it changes its taste.

Therefore, external competition must be introduced to make the stagnant water flow. There will be two or three companies in almost every industry to reduce the occurrence of monopoly.

Just the allocation of resources and deployment of personnel will take a long time.

It is difficult to speed up this aspect significantly. The deployment of personnel is a very serious matter. If you assign the wrong people to the wrong positions, you will only mislead others. Safety accidents may also occur!

…

Just like that, time passed quickly.

It has been exactly 60 days since the two parties met. .

As the passion slowly subsided, people gradually adapted to the current state of gradual mergers and entered a new big family.

Lu Yiming is living quite comfortably these days. He and Jin Lili have applied for a larger house, which is actually not that big, just twice the original size. And they originally had two single rooms, which was equivalent to merging into one. They didn't take advantage, didn't suffer, and they didn't live in too much luxury. No one would suffer from pink eye.

In fact, the two of them can be regarded as the big tycoons in Yunhai. Not to mention some of the companies they originally invested in have slowly begun to grow and develop. The Jinlili brand potion alone can generate a lot of income, as well as the income generated by Ms. Heishasha... Well, money is nothing to pay special attention to when you reach this status and status, as long as it is enough.

In addition, Lu Yiming also pays special attention to the development of science.

After the merger, the two parties have 300,000 talents, and the number of high-quality experts has doubled. However, the scientific research power and total resources in the entire shelter are still limited. Therefore, how to use the limited scientific research power to improve as much as possible Combat strength is the top priority right now.

For the current shelter, psychic shields are naturally the focus, directly occupying more than 50% of the capital investment, and also attracting a large number of supernatural scientists, who are studying it day and night.

This also includes Lu Yiming’s wife, Ms. Jin Lili.

As a result, she came home late every night, which made Lu Yiming quite resentful.

But there is nothing we can do about it. The psychic shield is too important!

In the last disaster, the psychic shield demonstrated its powerful control capabilities. If it can be arranged on a large scale in the cabin, even if a supernatural phenomenon invades the shelter, as long as it does not attack the core warehouse and release horrific disasters such as Nubi and the Blood Demon, it can be passed through in a very short time. Psychic shield takes control.

In this way, the safety factor is increased by more than 10 times!

The second most important thing is the research on anti-gravity aircraft. As long as the test flight of this thing is completed, it can directly improve human combat power.

Moreover, Lu Yiming was directly responsible for the manufacturing of the anti-gravity aircraft. After all, he was also responsible for teaching Hei Shasha, and he had to speak favorably for some orders related to Hei Shasha.

Anti-gravity aircraft can be regarded as serious high-tech, rather than elusive supernatural phenomena. As long as they are willing to invest manpower and material resources, it is natural to obtain corresponding output.

On this day, a large group of scientists from the Hope, led by Lu Yiming, entered the core computer room of the Kunlun Mountain.

"This is one of the core secrets of our Kunlun Mountains. The artificial intelligence Heishasha, the legacy of Xia Civilization, lives in this room."

"Strong artificial intelligence?" The expert rubbed his hands excitedly, emphasizing the word "strong".

"Yes, strong artificial intelligence. Ms. Hei Shasha has a very unique personality and is a bit homely, but it is still easy to negotiate. She doesn't like contact with strangers, so she stays here. If there is nothing special, she can still talk remotely. Bar."

Lu Yiming cleared his throat and said: "The existence of Heishasha can be regarded as one of the security secrets. There is no need to let ordinary people know and cause panic. Therefore, before entering the room, you need to sign a security agreement."

"Those who violate the agreement will be held legally responsible, and you should know the consequences."

"Mr. Lu, of course we know this."

"Yes, confidentiality is absolutely no problem!"

"Xia Wenming's legacy? You actually picked up a real strong artificial intelligence! It's incredible... How can you be so lucky?"

The expressions of these scientists were exactly the same as those of the experts on the Unkai when they came into contact with the black sand.

The addition of Hope is really wise.

They are all curious about what strong artificial intelligence can do.

"She is not the most advanced kind of intelligent person. She can only handle some relatively simple matters. We still have to design the aircraft ourselves. It is impossible for Heishasha to help us do it. However, some complex calculations can be done for us. Use her processing power.”

Lu Yiming lamented that population is really a good thing. In the past, when there were only 170,000 people, many jobs were still stretched and could not be allocated.

Now there are a total of 300,000 people, and the manpower has suddenly become richer. Unknowingly, the progress of various plans has accelerated a lot.

It would be even better if there were another 500,000 high-quality population!

However, I can only think about this kind of thing in my heart...

After these experts signed the agreement, Lu Yiming entered his password, pressed his fingerprint, and scanned his iris to open the security door.

What comes into view is a modern large computer room: bright lights, smooth metal floors, four supercomputers placed here, and black sand embedded in one of the supercomputers.

In a clean room at the back, there are two heavy metal 3D printers from Xia Wenming. Many high-precision items are produced from the printers.

As a dead nerd, Hei Shasha doesn't like face-to-face communication with humans.

She prefers to communicate with experts through a computer screen, one floor apart.

"The four supercomputers in the supercomputing center are basically used for scientific research. If you have computing needs, you can apply for computing power from the supercomputing center, and there will be unified deployment."

Before Lu Yiming finished his introduction, a group of experts began to try to chat with Hei Shasha. Hei Shasha would not be disgusted if they chatted on the Internet.

Another group of experts began to study the legendary heavy metal 3D printer with great interest.

Lu Yiming smiled and said nothing. There were quite a few Yunhai experts among this group of people. They should know well that the technological gap was too big and they couldn't research anything at all. They just wanted to show off with great interest.

After a while, a startled voice came.

"Oh my God, she actually has self-awareness! Can human thinking be converted into a series of 01 codes?"

"Can humans also be uploaded to computers?"

This was the first time for many experts on the Hope to hear about the existence of Heishasha. Faced with the technological crystallization that was several levels higher, everyone expressed their sincere admiration.

"A 3D printer can actually print 5-nanometer chips? No wonder you have so many good things here!"

Seeing their surprised expressions, Hei Shasha became proud again. She liked the feeling of being praised.

Lu Yiming gave her an order: "Dear Ms. Heishasha, the most important thing now is to build an anti-gravity aircraft!"

"We will be able to complete the design drawings soon. We need your industrial capabilities to build the anti-gravity aircraft as quickly as possible! Only you can complete this task!"

The manufacturing of high-end aircraft requires manual polishing of many parts.

Hei Shasha alone can control high-end robots and high-end machine tools, which is probably equivalent to 400-600 level eight fitters, so Lu Yiming had to put in a good word in person.

This guy just loves being praised. In other words, as long as you make her happy by licking her, she can help you with your work for a lifetime!

"You are the great savior of us all!"

"You built the Kunlun Mountain. A few planes are just a piece of cake, right?"

"By the way, in addition to the anti-gravity aircraft, there is also a second crystal energy cannon that requires some trouble. But let's get the anti-gravity aircraft first. There are a total of 6 aircraft to be produced... The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. , you are now the most capable person here."

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Yiming's crazy praise, the Rubik's Cube villain began to flash blue light all over his body again. He was so elated that his sense of existence was fully satisfied.

"I'm not flattering you, what I said is the truth. No one is more capable than you, Ms. Heishasha, right?"

Her thinking was different from that of humans. At this moment, the Rubik's Cube was turning even faster, and then she laughed like a fool: "Hehehehe!"

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of Heishasha vests on the Internet seemed to have collectively stagnated for a few seconds.

"Damn it, why are they all hung up? Are they disconnected?!" A game enthusiast discovered that not only four of his teammates were hung up, but five opponents were also hung up.

He thought he was disconnected.

"What a stinking move of chess. Isn't this suicide? Do you want to regret the move?" A certain chess enthusiast felt happy and thought that the other party had made a mistake.

There are also some industrial products with defective products.

However, as Hei Shasha regained consciousness, these activities quickly returned to normal, and almost no one noticed this brief scene...

…

In this way, the joining of a large number of experts, coupled with the assistance of artificial intelligence Heishasha, greatly accelerated the development of high-end weapons manufacturing industry.

Two months passed again.

A new generation of aircraft built with anti-gravity engines as its core is officially released!

The reason why it can be manufactured so quickly is that the staff of the Unkai have completed a lot of work in advance. They have already started researching the anti-gravity engine as soon as they got it. It has been almost two years so far.

On the other hand, this new aircraft actually follows most of the structure of previous fighter jets, including the aircraft's skeleton, operating system, weapon system, communication system, etc. Almost everything is the same.

Coupled with Heishasha's industrial capacity being fully activated, manufacturing has also advanced by leaps and bounds. The original one-year project was completed in less than two months, with half a month of debugging in between.

The aircraft materials were replaced with new materials made by Golden Baby silk, and the original engine was replaced with a 40-ton thrust anti-gravity engine, which can theoretically increase the maneuverability by more than three times!

So on this day, the new generation of anti-gravity aircraft - "Yuyan No. 1" officially took flight!

"Dear viewers, good morning! Today I will bring you a big news..." In order to boost morale, reporters from the TV station came to the military center of Kunlun Mountain early in the morning and faced the aircraft again. They were taking pictures and introducing them non-stop.

"The successful manufacturing of Yuyan-1 means that from now on, we will have the industrial capabilities for advanced aircraft!"

The pilot is Comrade Zhang Jun, who has the ability to teleport. He was also a pilot in the past. He has a flight record of 2,000 hours and is considered the ace pilot in the shelter.

The main reason for choosing Zhang Jun... was for safety.

Test flights have always been dangerous, and there have been scenes of aircraft engines exploding on the spot.

Zhang Jun, who has the ability to teleport, can teleport out of the plane directly after discovering danger and parachute to escape. Therefore, as long as he does not crash in an instant, he has the possibility of escaping.

Of course, this possibility is not too great. Xia Wenming's anti-gravity engine would never explode on the spot, right?

Before the test flight, a large group of staff were busy on the deck.

"Report, the space stability has been measured, and the probability of a small-scale space tide occurring within an hour is extremely small."

"Under safety inspection...there are no environmental hazards in the surrounding area."

"Yuyan 1, the third fuselage inspection is completed."

"Connecting to the communication system...it's ready."

(PS: 2-in-1. My eyes have been uncomfortable lately, and I shed tears when staring at the computer. It should be due to eye fatigue. In addition, the merged plot is almost over, I think the writing is okay...)

(The new episode is about to start, so I plan to take a day off tomorrow. Donkey is tired...ah, take a day off.)
