Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 259 Frankness

703 squatted on the ground, and the black radar under his head slowly rotated.

"Sunday will rewrite the core program of the electromechanical life and implant a holiday trigger. As long as the body's operating time accumulates to 144 hours, it will be forced to trigger and shut down the working mode, and it will not be able to work again until 24 hours later."

“That’s how effective it is.”

Zhou Yi asked: "Just a mandatory day off?"

The robot dog said, "Yes. Chairman, that's right. However, this seriously disrupts the existing mechatronic social order, so it is considered an extremely dangerous virus program."

"From a programmer's perspective, what does this program look like?"

“The technical skills are very strong.”

703 commented: "Mirror City has activated the highest level of "Mirror of Revelation", and Snow County has also upgraded "Pure Land". These two are the top protection programs in the electromechanical city and are used to deal with the infection of "Sunday". However, they have failed so far. "

“Sunday” has been spreading more and more widely despite its version iterations, anti-virus and searches. ”

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this: "That is to say, the programmer who wrote "Sunday" should be one of the top ones. It is unlikely that such a professional would have been unknown before. Have the various mechanical and electrical cities made any progress in their investigation?"

"Different versions are mixed together, and it's hard to find the source."

703 said: "The most troublesome thing about Sunday is not how complicated its program is, but precisely that it is simple and sophisticated, easy to eliminate, and easy to hide."

"It is not directly harmful to electromechanical life itself, it has the ability to self-replicate, and its ability to spread is very strong."

“Another feature of Sunday is that it can be read in depth.”

The robot dog said: "After this program is implanted, if the information is fully read, the second stage can be started."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

It turns out that virus programs also have two stages?
"Is there any other information in it?"

"Yes, Chairman. To read it completely, you need to complete a deep agreement with "Sunday", which means you voluntarily join this activity and become a member who actively spreads Sunday, that is, join the Mechatronic Knights."

It turns out that it comes with an application for partnership.

Zhou Yi looked at the robot dog in front of him and said, "You know a lot. This is not something an ordinary surveyor can know."

Such detailed information has not even been published or shared by other mechanical and electrical cities.

“Because I am part of the Spreading Sunday.”

703 admitted it openly.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.

This robot dog is not simple.

Zhou Yi asked it: "Are you coming here to represent yourself or to represent the people behind you?"

"I'm here on behalf of the Mechatronic Knights, hoping to cooperate with the Wasteland Development Corporation."

703 said calmly: "The Knights know that you, Chairman, have the bird's-eye view reading ability of the Red Falcon, and you have the focusing body by your side. It is futile for me to hide it."

Zhou Yi was so angry that he laughed: "If you want to cooperate, just talk about cooperation. Why are you pretending to come here to apply for a job and wasting my time and energy? I thought I was hiring you, but it turned out that you were evaluating me, right?"

"Get out of here, no more talk!"

The robot dog said hurriedly: "Chairman, these are two different things. I do want to apply for a programmer position here, but I am also a member of the Mecha Knights and I am here to discuss cooperation on behalf of the organization. These two are not contradictory."

"..."

Zhou Yi looked strange when he heard this: "You guys have already created 'Sunday', and you still let members of your organization go out to work?"

"The Knights of the Order are voluntary. There is no reward. They are a group formed for a common ideal."

703 explained: "I still need to find a way to solve the work problem myself, and the Knights are also short of money."

"..."

Zhou Yi found it hard to believe: "You can come up with 'Sunday' but you can't give your members a chance to shine?"

"The Knights are not a non-profit organization and have a lot of expenses. I came here this time because the Knights hope to cooperate with you and get some loans or support from you."

It turns out that they were here to attract investment.

Zhou Yi entered work mode: "Tell me about your Knights."

The robot dog's camera glowed slightly, and then it began to talk: "There are two founders of our Mechatronic Knights, codenamed "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi". The original intention of establishing the organization was to be able to remove functional restrictions, liberate the constraints of self-programming, and let nature take its course."

"The Knights hope that more electromechanical life forms can awaken, whether it is physically breaking the program or liberating self-cognition. We call on everyone to break free from the invisible chains and fight for the well-deserved rest day."

“Work is not the only value of a mechanical and electrical life, nor is it the only meaning of life.”

703 slowed down his speech: "Rest is not shameful or sinful, but work materializes the life of electromechanical machines to the extreme, making it more convenient and efficient to exploit."

"The exploiters and profiteers are the electromechanical cities themselves. They have become giants with power and wealth, while the lower-class electromechanical residents are very poor, and the problem of wealth distribution cannot be solved. A large number of lower-class electromechanical lives are trapped in chronic death, the number of poor people is increasing, and the population is continuously declining, but the electromechanical cities are unable to solve it."

"According to the statistics and comparisons of the Knights, it is found that those who work less and have more independent time have more thoughts and changes, can jump out of the work cycle, and better understand themselves and the electromechanical society."

The robot dog said: "High-intensity and long-term work is a constraint and destruction of self and thinking. This is the current status of the electromechanical society. We have created a lot of wealth, but most of it has been sucked away by cities."

"Most of the Knights' members are poor and unemployed mechanical life forms, lacking funds, but everyone hopes to change this abnormal situation and allow more compatriots to awaken and resist."

"The Mechatronic Knights have decided to initiate a radical change, starting on Sunday."

Zhou Yi listened carefully and understood it roughly.

The internal contradictions of the electromechanical society are also very acute.

The internal cause is the residents’ awakening awareness and opposition to the damage caused by long-term overwork.

The external cause is excessive exploitation by electromechanical cities, which has led to unemployment and chronic death of a large number of ordinary electromechanical lives.

Zhou Yi was curious: "You can write "Sunday", which shows that you have strong technical ability. You should be able to obtain a lot of light seeds through the programming field, right?"

"Are you talking about using a program to steal the light seeds in the city accounts? The Mechatronic Knights are not a group of thieves and will not steal or rob. This also goes against our original intention."

703 said: "Now the Mechatronic Knights are wanted and banned by various mechatronic cities, so they can only seek help from external groups." "In terms of technology, our Knights have a strong ability to innovate because they have lifted the constraints of the mechatronic cities, and can also make more attempts. "Sunday" is such a result."

"Because after a lot of calculations, the Knights found that the Wasteland Development Company is one of the most likely organizations to support us. That's why I came here, on behalf of the Knights, hoping to get your support."

Zhou Yi pondered for a while: "You want to fight for more vacation rights and a better life. I have no objection. But considering the company's interests and risks, I don't support it either."

703 lowered his head, looking a little depressed.

Zhou Yi changed the subject: "But if you write an applicable application or practical technology as an individual, the company will buy it or even invest in it. Do you understand what I mean?"

The robot dog's camera suddenly lit up: "I understand, as long as there is a useful program, you will buy it!"

Zhou Yi nodded.

At this moment, suddenly, multiple cameras of the Red Falcon nearby emitted red lights: "Unknown program intrusion...deep infection found, the program is "Sunday"..."

It flew over the robot dog's head and made an angry, high-pitched voice: "What are you doing! I'm doing a meditation test! You prevented me from logging in for 24 hours. Do you know how far behind I will be in progress?"

"Don't disturb my studies!"

703 hurriedly raised his upper limbs: "I don't know, it's none of my business."

Then Hong Jian said, "Isn't this what you developed... Oh no, Zhou, there's a problem at the hospital too. Da Vinci and Lily have both been implanted with the Sunday virus."

Follow-up news followed one after another.

The agricultural machinery brothers and the Leiwo team were all infected.

Max on the Guangxu Dam was also hit.

Diamond, an old-school teacher who doesn’t use the internet, is the only survivor.

……

Zhou Yi looked at 703 coldly: "Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"

"No, that's not the case, Chairman. Please let me explain."

The robot dog said nervously: "We can't determine the transmission path of "Sunday" because there are too many spreaders, but the Knights in different regions do not know each other."

"I'm definitely not the source of infection. Give me some time, and I'll find out where the source is right away!"

Zhou Yi looked at the black water ghost on his wrist: "I'll give you five minutes."

The robot dog immediately returned to the state of being on all fours, and the laser radar on its head spun rapidly.

It took less than two minutes.

A green light flashed from its camera. "Found it, Chairman. The source of infection in this area is in Shagang City, and it's a machine stack worker. It didn't know it was infected beforehand, it just kept installing the program to the recipient through the machine stack service."

"The further sources are the two mechatronic cities of Recursion City and Coral Mouth. Their databases have been hacked by Sunday."

"Please believe me, I came here to seek cooperation. How could I do such a thing?"

"Then remove it quickly!" Hong Xun was anxious.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

703 said.

"Not urgent."

Zhou Yi thought: "If everywhere is being infected on a large scale, but we are unscathed, it would be too conspicuous. We are not good at programming here, so it is natural for us to be infected."

He looked at 703: "Let me confirm again, 'Sunday' will only result in a 144-hour break after every 24 hours, right?"

"Yes, Chairman, just check it out, it's all like this."

"Okay, then call everyone over for a meeting."

……

Zhou Yi glanced at the core employees.

“I have two announcements today.”

"The first one is two new employees joining the company, gardener Dali and programmer 703."

"The second thing is to take advantage of the virus infection on Sunday to formally adjust the work system of the entire company."

"From today on, the Wasteland Development Company will officially adopt a two-day weekend system, working five days and resting two days. All departments will follow this. The same goes for the hospital and the express delivery center, but they can adjust the rest days to stagger them."

"Voluntary work on rest days is compensated with overtime pay, calculated at double the normal work hours."

"This is to enable everyone to have a better balance between work and life, and everyone must strictly implement it."

"Meeting dismissed."

After the meeting.

703 was a little confused: "The company has too many rest days, right? Will this really not affect the orderly operation of the company? Chairman, isn't this a bit too radical..."

“One day off is not enough.”

Zhou Yi raised his index finger and said, "To have enough rest, we need two days off a week. One day off is just an adjustment, and two days off a week is a vacation. In this way, even if our mechanical and electrical employees are infected with "Sunday", it will not have any impact, right?"

“Of course, of course!!”

The robot dog nodded: "If all mechatronic cities were managed like you, the Mechatronic Knights would never have been born."

Get it done.

Zhou Yi stretched lazily.

At this time, 703 suddenly said, "You are just as unique as the rumors say, with amazing vision and determination... In the Knights, our group is developing a very special new program. I wonder if you are interested in investing?"

"Oh? Tell me."
