The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era Chapter 305

Xu Yang squatted far away from them, on a **** covered with turf, where many people were lying and watching the smart screen.

There was a lack of electricity and network in the association, and this screen was erected on the top of the brick house in the distance, broadcasting news programs.

This big screen was specially donated and built. There is a financial practitioner with a net worth of 2 million. Before joining the Self-Rescue Association, he hired someone to set up such a platform and paid the maintenance fee for 5 years in advance. In this way, even if he After you have exhausted your family property and joined the primitive association, you can still lay on the lawn for recreation.

The news is introducing a clearing operation in Baixiangzhou. Several drones flew through the sky and dropped chemical agents on the forest, causing the leaves to fall off and the guerrillas to lose their hiding place. Immediately afterwards, large ground attack aircraft joined the fray, destroying the barracks of the avant-garde guerrillas like a ploughing hole, followed by a larger company ground force.

Baixiangzhou has always implemented the racial surname system, but now it has evolved into four levels: company employees, subsidiary employees, temporary workers and non-company employees. Those who do not work in the company are not contactable in various senses, and can only do the most humble jobs.

Such a society is fragmented, and there are many contradictions. Taking advantage of the split between the Peacock Group and the Tristan Group, the giant Baixiangzhou Group, the avant-garde rebelled, and immediately set off a situation of echoes.

In Baixiangzhou, most villages and small cities responded. In the vast agricultural area, it was reflected in the siege of the headquarters of the company's subsidiary companies. In the city, it was reflected in the refusal of employees from all walks of life to work and the suspension of the market.

The guerrilla's armed forces numbered around 160,000 in September, but soon other giant corporations in the surrounding area assisted in intervening, making the situation passive.

The bloodshed sparked larger-scale anger, coupled with the failure of agricultural harvests and rising food prices, the people of Baixiangzhou decided to die in starvation, and they mustered the greatest courage.

So there is this scene in the current news. The Peacock Group and the Tristan Group have begun to recruit overseas troops in large numbers to carry out a large-scale cleanup that is close to massacre, and even bloodshed.

"It's so ugly—" one of the self-helpers on the lawn shouted, and the others felt the same, and they stood up and gestured, so the screen on the roof in the distance changed its channel and began to play Jinxuan Nutritional Balm advertisements for active meat ingredients.

Someone was playing music, someone was laughing. They drank a lot, and when they voted for tomorrow's extra ration, many chose alcohol.

They were all happy, at least superficially happy. It was because they surrendered everything to join the Self-Rescue Association, and after all, they had to find a way to prove the correctness of their choice.

So people in the northern islands have a way out. Xu Yang thought. Because there is a way out, I can still hang out. If Anju City is not enough, go to Aizu City, or lie down in a self-helper's association, or find a cheap way to end your life. Euthanasia is legal and efficient, and many companies provide such services. , they will directly deliver medicines to their doorsteps, help with property accounting, and deal with the aftermath. Most people have no savings, but they will donate their three melons and dates when they are euthanized to give back to the society, or give them all to their families.

Xu Yang saw several people chasing and making trouble, climbing a bare tree, grinning, and it seemed that he hadn't been so happy for a long time. These people are premature, bald and fat, and they may have been programmers of a certain company before.

People can degenerate into mice, they can degenerate into monkeys, they can be consumed by all their physical strength in the company, and they can give up their lives. Xu Yang observed the newcomers in the Self-Rescue Association, and felt that there was more or less a trace of sadness behind people's smiles, a kind of systematic worry. He can understand the feelings of these people, the uncertainty of the future, the inability of individuals to resist the system, the dissolution of the meaning of life, that is, not knowing what to do and why to live, and being entangled by nothingness.

Xu Yang took a walk here, and was eventually driven away by the members of the association because he refused to wear no clothes, and he returned to the Zifeng.

"Someone threw stones at the Zifeng." Pan Ruiyin said, the little fool was lying in her arms like a statue.

Xu Yang checked the outer casing of the machine, and a stone couldn't hurt the shuttle.

"Talk about business." Xu Yang drove the shuttle back to the city.

"No vacation?" Pan Ruiyin was curious.

"There are a lot of things to do," Xu Yang and Pan Ruiyin discussed, "If you want to defeat the armed forces of an entire giant enterprise, at least what size of the fleet is required?"

Pan Ruiyin was stunned for a moment, this was a bit difficult.

"An airship is necessary to project power, carry nuclear weapons and intercontinental missiles." Pan Ruiyin quickly responded, "A spaceship can defend the northern islands and solve all the troublesome problems on the islands. There are two ship, you can take the initiative to attack.”

"We have to get one." Xu Yang checked the open market. Many giant companies are shrinking military spending, so they have to sell the old carrier.

The models for sale are not the most advanced, but they are enough for Xu Yang. Because the power of the witch can make up for the backwardness of the ship, and there is no damage control and repair team comparable to the law of recovery.

Only the mothership itself, without any fighters, shuttles and weapons platforms, the price is 37 billion funds. It is true that only big companies can afford it. Xu Yang now has a net worth of about 2 billion including fixed assets and working capital, which is far from the threshold of the sky carrier.

There are also those who abandon the combat power of a single air carrier and build a fleet of ships, that is, the path of Gaoge Kyushu, using a large number of industrialized war shuttles, but that is more expensive and requires a more amazing industrial system to support.

"Grab one." Pan Ruiyin thought of this subconsciously.

"Kyoto Unlimited is also selling ships." Xu Yang saw that Kyoto Unlimited was trying to trade its mothership.

The Kinshima, the damaged ship that was previously defeated by the Martinez, cost 90 billion yuan.

The Yokozuna is relatively advanced and complete, requiring 170 billion yuan.

The Orochi was controlled by the Tiantiaoyuan family and was not sold.

"We can't afford it." Pan Ruiyin speculated reasonably, "and there are not enough soldiers and maintenance personnel."

"So we need to expand production and make money." Xu Yang said, "A mothership is used to project power, and it can take witches to all parts of the world."

"Go for what?"

"Break down the rotten bastion of corporateism."

"It's quite majestic." Pan Ruiyin pondered for a while, "This is not a small amount of money, we have to make a lot of money, but we can't, I looked at it, there are only various expenses, nothing to be recorded, unless you want to Borrow money from big international banks, but that's no different from other companies.”

"There is always a way." Xu Yang said.

Advanced productivity has two directions, one is high-tech, the other is witch. As for witches, Xu Yang already has a lot of reserves, and the outstanding productivity he can currently access is synthetic human.

He called Tanaka Taro.

"If you want to expand the synth industry, I have a large piece of land in the suburbs."

"Mr. Xu wants to start a business? Where's the money?"

"About 5 to 1 billion." Xu Yang said.

"That's not much." Tanaka Taro worried.

"But it's all our own money. We can build it brick by brick and build a new park of our own, which will develop faster than before."

"What about machinery and equipment, shipping is dangerous now."

"What about the foundries in the city? Do they fit together?"

"It works well, but, Mr. Xu, as far as I know, factories that meet the craftsmanship standards have all been damaged in the war."

"Tell me the names of those factories, and I'll see if I can wrap up their production lines."

"What's the use of that... Mr. Xu, I don't understand why you want scraps. They're all broken."

"No matter how bad it is in my hands, it can become better, and I can resume work and production within a week."

"Are you coming for real?"

"Yes, don't you want to use synths to change the world? What's the difference between your synths and the New Taixi people, and which side has a higher level of technology?"

"Of course, my level is higher, and they still focus on the first and second generations of intelligence."

"Then are you willing to bet on synthetic human technology with me? Your technology, my land, factories and funds, and many others will be involved in it, labor, sharing, and new opportunities. , while exploring the boundaries of human technology together.”

On the other end of the communication, Tanaka Taro pondered. He is not sure that he is familiar with Xu Yang, but he knows many similar people, chasing lofty ideals, and eager to do something. Such people are more interested in leading the destiny of the world than in satisfying their own selfish desires.

And synths are the technology that changes the world.

"...Try it." Taro Tanaka replied, "I'm designing more types of synths. If they are commercialized, they will be popular all over the world. A40 is already the best live advertisement. , although it is on the run, are you still covering up the A40?"

"It will be fired tomorrow." Xu Yang said.

Of course, it is the cutting on the surface, and the A40 is still called to work behind the scenes.

Xu Yang drove the Zifeng to several large factories near the port area of ​​Anjiu City.

According to the list given by Tanaka Taro, he focused on steel mills and parts processing plants and began to evaluate their purchase prices. Most of the production lines have been destroyed, and some of the damage seems to be minor, but it will actually affect the precision controls of the entire machine tool, making it scrap, so their price is very low, if you want to rebuild all of them, it will cost about 3 billion Funding, which is a price prohibitive for most businesses at the moment, so offers are constantly changing.

He spent the remaining budget on the books to acquire these dilapidated industries that were almost in ruins, and moved the factory site to a thousand acres of industrial land in the suburbs. It corresponds to the new development area corresponding to the underground Aizu Castle. In the future, Nisto Industry The iron ore dug out of the park can be directly transported vertically, reducing logistics costs. The intermediate floor area can also be transformed to achieve multiple uses.

On the second day, the new district broke ground for construction.

Hundreds of vehicles, more than a thousand people, and tons of goods.
