Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

The vine elevator in the forest ecological zone climbed at a constant speed, and Li Ying stretched out her right hand and pressed it against the elevator cabin wall.

Her smart terminal immediately connected to the district's building system, and the crystal on her retina showed the real-time data of the district: abnormal growth data of ecological vegetation in the D12 area of ​​the northern district, and the air quality index dropped by 0.1%...

Looking at the regional charts showing poor real-time data changes, Li Ying looked up to the north.

After the automatic adjustment of the lens on her retina, she clearly saw that on the construction site far away, there were pieces of engineering equipment working hard, covered with dust and gravel. Although the sprinkler devices around were working very hard, there were still visible dust particles floating in the air.

The isolation barrier devices in the inner city have been working continuously to ensure that the air quality in the inner city is above the excellent standard.

In the farther area, a special small nuclear power plant is being built, and the maglev train passes through the ring road station, leaving a neon trail that quickly disappears.

…

The core buildings of this future city - the quantum conference room and ecological central control room - welcomed new visitors.

When Gu Qing walked into this huge conference room that could already be used for athletics, the graphene floor under his feet had already lit up all the preparation procedures for the owner of this city.

The young man stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The artificial holographic waterfall that was originally flowing slowly around the room suddenly seemed to "come alive". The gentle breeze that came from nowhere and the sound of the bamboo forest being disturbed by the wind made everyone feel relaxed and happy.

The architectural design and acoustic system adjust the light and shadow changes, sound waves and noise in real time. The water mist spread around the artificial holographic waterfall is extremely dense, containing negative ion water vapor, which optimizes the humidity and air quality in the room.

"This is the headquarters conference room of our Jiuzhou Technology, jointly built by the Titanium Star Department, the Semiconductor Department, and the Special Equipment R\u0026D Center. We should meet here often in the future, so you can get more familiar with it..."

Although Kunlun City is a future city designed and technically supported by Jiuzhou Technology, it does not mean that Jiuzhou Technology owns everything in this future city.

The land has a term of use and the control of the city is divided, so naturally the Jiuzhou Technology Headquarters in this city is not a municipal office building.

Gu Qing always sticks to his bottom line and never does anything that crosses the line, let alone the idea of ​​crossing the line.

During the period when Kunlun City's urban construction projects were being promoted, the Daxia officials also noticed this, which is why they allowed the special tacit understanding between them to continue.

Otherwise, although Jiuzhou Technology has a huge influence in the science and technology industry and the manufacturing industry, it would not be possible for it to cooperate with various parties to build such a large city on the Anxi Plateau.

The [Kunlun Anti-Missile System] on the [-3] floor of the underground building complex will only operate 24 hours a day in conjunction with Jiuzhou Technology's Zhoutian Xingdou Engineering satellite and ground base station. It is not a defense facility given to this city by the Daxia government.

While Gu Qing was taking Zhang Tianhao, Li You, Chu Ci and others to the inner city of Kunlun City to experience the "acceptance" project, large-scale riots had begun to break out on the other side of the sea.

Although this was a prediction that many political science professors, top economics experts, and sociology professors had already made, no one had expected that the cause of this large-scale riot would not be gun violence, large-scale parades, or some sudden natural disaster that could not be countered by human power, but rather a thing so fragile that it has countless "weak" proverbs - the egg.

Ever since Uncle Sam of the United States began to take malicious economic actions, whether it was raising taxes, forcing Daxia's listed companies in the United States to sell their shares at a low price, or even the brutal printing of money to repay U.S. debts, global "shopping" has been unable to cover up the decline of local industry and agriculture in the Americas.

As an outstanding representative of the most outstanding technological mechanized agriculture on the blue planet, American farmers once cooperated with food companies to sell countless corn and soybeans to the global market.

However, faced with worsening fire protection, increasingly expensive pesticides for crops and veterinary drugs for livestock, and increasing basic costs, these grain companies that have acquired countless pieces of land have begun to raise prices for local agricultural products in a planned but unscrupulous manner.

Eggs in the United States used to be as cheap as $0.2 each, but now the price of a retail egg has jumped one decimal point to the right, reaching $2 each.

Even if consumers want to buy higher-quality eggs sold by organic farms, the price will increase by about $1 to $2.

In the past, the American middle class did not think that a bacon sandwich and an egg was expensive at all.

Now, even if they have to work two jobs every day, as long as there are a few more people in the family, many parents from middle-class families will choose to buy finished egg liquid rather than the natural eggs on the shelves.

Of course, under the media propaganda, even with the news transmitted by platforms such as Kyushu Community and TK, a considerable number of native American residents still believe that this is part of the economic law. The price is high now, but as long as the market laws adjust agriculture to normal, the price of agricultural products will fall.

Although the price of eggs is higher now, the government distributes relief meals every day.

Ordinary people are like a tightly stretched rubber rope, trying their best to endure.

Jack is one of them. He works as a taxi driver during the day. After working for eight hours, he goes home to have dinner and then starts working as a supermarket deliveryman.

He was able to grab this position among a number of competitors because he had no history of taking illegal drugs and had excellent driving skills.

Of course, before the interview, he also took a tour of the delivery department and chatted with his former colleague, who is now a junior manager who has worked his way up.

"Hi, Jack. Today you need to deliver these eggs to five branches safely. If you can finish it before nine o'clock in the evening, I can give you a delivery order for alcohol. If you are lucky, you will be paid for your hard work."

Jack grinned when he heard this: "Thank God, then you must make sure to cushion the eggs. I can't afford to damage these eggs."

"Don't worry, we will purchase insurance for the transportation of these goods..."
