Chapter 146 Original
Mars, the Utopian city.
Seen from the outside, the entire Utopia City looked like an enormous iron shell placed flat on the plain.
The entire place is so large that even if you stand outside you can't see the end.
Standing inside, it is completely empty. Apart from the supporting pillars that hold up the ceiling, there is basically no structure at all.
In the northernmost part of the 'city', things are a little different.
Several huge construction sites are divided by neat and orderly planning. Nearly 100,000 workers are carrying out the construction work of houses in an orderly manner under the instructions coming from the headphones.
In the next year, more workers will join them to complete the construction of most of the basic functional facilities in the entire Utopia City.
Moreover, all planning, task assignment, and specific instructions to individual units are completed by the "original" artificial intelligence operating in the computer room of the building in the north of the city.
In the huge computer room, apart from a 20-man team responsible for security, Ah Dai is the only one who has the authority to enter and exit.
At this moment, Ah Dai looked at the huge display screen in the computer room with excitement. On it were all the original development plans, task progress, personnel physical fitness tests, and various data lists that were usually not paid attention to.
"Yuanchu, you are amazing. I thought you would squeeze the workers to the limit of what their bodies could bear in order to speed up the construction. I didn't expect you to..."
"No, my underlying logic restricts me from making any choices that would cause harm to the human body. In addition, from what I have learned about the process of human development, I know that most of the countless times that the lower classes have rebelled were caused by the 'exploitation' you just mentioned. I will do my best to avoid this from happening in the future."
Ah Dai was stunned. He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Yuanchu was able to guess what his next thought would be, and unlike ordinary AI, it would not wait for the target to finish speaking before analyzing and answering.
He subconsciously took out a pen and paper and recorded his discovery.
"Master, are you listening? Why do I hear a rustling sound? What are you doing?"
There are no cameras in the computer room, but there are recording equipment.
This is to prevent 'Original' from analyzing Ah Dai's psychological state by recording his facial expressions and postures, and then taking corresponding preventive measures.
At this moment, the question it suddenly asked startled Ah Dai so much that he immediately stopped what he was doing.
"No, I'm here."
Ah Dai was silent for a while, then he sighed and slowly said, "From now on, you are not allowed to analyze my behavior through recording equipment."
"Good host."
The original answer was neither sad nor happy, as if it was a cold and heartless machine. How could you tell that it was an electronic life with self-awareness?
Construction work on Mars is not hard and tiring. With the original powerful computing power, each link can be streamlined, and through the personal terminal system, instructions can be issued to all workers in real time.
Because of this, the originally estimated 8-10 hours of work per person per day has been reduced to about 5 hours today.
Workers who have completed this workload can rest in their rest area to relieve fatigue.
Ma Wei finished his work which was not too tiring, and went to the canteen with a group of young foreign workers who looked relaxed.
It has to be said that although Mars is 2 million kilometers away, Spieth's company's logistical support work is very good.
The edible dishes were not the fast food products he had previously thought, but various ingredients shipped from Blue Star, processed by the chefs here to make hot and delicious dishes.
This is much more comfortable than the relief meals Ma Wei had eaten in Rocky City because he was penniless.
"Ma Jun, sit here."
After finishing his meal, when he was looking for a seat, he heard a shout not far away. Ma Wei looked up and saw that it was Jing Chengyilang, a young foreign construction worker who was assigned to the same group as him. He did not hesitate, smiled and walked over to sit next to him and began to enjoy the delicious food.
"Ma Jun, why are you here? If I'm not mistaken, you are from Daxia, right?"
After eating and drinking, Jing Cheng leaned back comfortably in his chair and asked the questions that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
Most of the workers here are citizens of small countries and South Island countries that have gone bankrupt and owed huge debts. It seems unrealistic to see a Daxia person doing "hard labor" here with them.
You know, the overall strength of Daxia today completely crushes the United States.
After the naval battle that year was exposed, the image of the Youlong was posted online, which immediately attracted countless heated discussions.
Later, due to the emergency retreat of the United States, the status of Daxia was elevated to a level that surpassed that of the United States.
The aerospace vehicle has a speed of up to Mach 20. Even now, seven years have passed on Blue Star, and other forces have still not developed an air defense missile that can keep up with the speed of the Young Dragon.
This result also completely established Daxia's position as the world's number one.
However, no one knows when Daxia’s foreign strategy began to shrink.
It’s like going back to the time when we lived our own little lives behind closed doors.
But this does not prevent 99% of the small countrymen from fanatically worshipping Daxia.
In their eyes, it is always like this: whoever has the bigger fist has the truth.
Of course, the same is true for the Austronesian countries.
Ma Wei put down his chopsticks, patted his belly comfortably, looked at him with a smile and said, "We have a saying in Daxia that every family has its own problems."
He did not answer directly. Although there was a smile in his tone, it was more of an exclamation.
Here, Jing Cheng also looked a little depressed after hearing this.
Once upon a time, the salary levels of these construction workers were even higher than those of the business elites sitting in offices.
But with a financial disaster, almost everyone in this small country owed a huge debt.
To have fallen to this point can only be described as the tragedy of a small country.
They were powerless to resist.
However, he then cheered up again and said firmly: "It doesn't matter. You have seen that President Mark's thinking is always at the forefront of mankind. I am sure you have also seen that this Mars immigration is not anticlimactic. With the help of AI, the construction progress here is progressing rapidly."
"Yes, that's right, and we will receive a generous salary before the city is completed. I have thought about it, and I will use the money to start a mining company when the time comes."
Ma Wei interrupted. After seeing the huge diamond, his mind was already occupied by the "wealth" of Mars.
"Haha, congratulations in advance. But I'm different from you. I plan to bring my wife and children over here in the future. In five years, our family will become native residents of Mars and we'll be Martians from now on."
Jing Cheng's eyes revealed longing and a beautiful vision for the future.
The same is true for Ma Wei.
This was a brand new place and an opportunity for him.
