Blackstone Code

Aside from a few minor details, Lynch is largely satisfied with the first phase of the project.

Although he will not live here, Nick and other managers gain experience by building here and can better provide services for his refuge on the equator.

The shelter on the equator has not yet started construction, but the location has been selected and is located on the outskirts of a medium-sized active volcano in Nagallil.

It is about thirty kilometers away from the active volcano to avoid various disasters and disasters that may occur in the event of a volcanic eruption.

Geologists believe that when the Ice Age comes, the world's geological environment will undergo a large-scale change, and some volcanoes will enter an active period.

The current shelter in the federal territory is not very close to the volcanic caldera, but is within a safe distance.

The electricity generated by the geothermal generator is fully sufficient to use a large number of electrical equipment in the first phase of the project, and there is still a surplus.

And this is just a set of geothermal generators. If they are all used, there will be no problem in maintaining the daily power supply of the entire shelter.

Moreover, the shelter will adopt a phased power reduction method to ensure that the power load does not exceed the standard. Coupled with human power generation, the problem will not be too big in short.

It was freezing cold outside, but inside the shelter it was as warm as late spring or early summer, staying at just over 20 degrees.

A large amount of heat resources are conducted, and the steam billowing in some pipes makes the entire shelter feel very warm.

The soil itself is a good insulator, which solves the problem of heating the shelter.

Lynch stayed at the shelter for three days and then left.

It’s not that he can’t live anymore, it’s that he doesn’t have that much time to live here.

The management originally considered starting the first batch of trial stays, but Lynch did not agree.

The first phase of the project will be for the ruling class and the privileged class in the future, but now it is for ordinary people to live in it.

When they really want to enter the shelter life, when they go to the bottom, it will be difficult for them not to cause some social problems.

For example, "Why are taxpayers paying taxes to build a shelter, but the taxpayers live at the worst bottom, while the ruling class who should provide services to everyone live at the top?"

Therefore, Lynch did not allow them to start the trial move in advance for future safety reasons.

January passed slowly in the cold weather, and Lynch would ask about the research progress on satellites and computers from time to time.

Computers are making rapid progress, and some people have already proposed feasible computer miniaturization plans. Coupled with Lynch's "fuzzy understanding" of electronic equipment, this has saved the entire R\u0026D team a lot of time.

Science is like this. As long as there is a correct path, everyone can run on this path, even if it falls and bumps, it doesn't matter!

At the same time, the "Amendment to the Doomsday First Security Act" also came into effect in the new year. Blackstone Security passed congressional hearings and federal review, becoming the only private armed company in the federal government that has obtained a "law enforcement license."

From this moment on, Blackstone Security has near-complete enforcement powers.

Of course, in order to ensure the measurement of law enforcement, each patrol team will still arrange two formal police officers to cooperate.

There is actually no difference from before, except that the previous law enforcement was nominally with the federal police as the first person responsible.

At the same time, they also have law enforcement powers, and Blackstone Security is only responsible for assisting law enforcement. Although this process is not strictly enforced, this is the rule.

It's completely different now. Even if the federal police think the law enforcement behavior is unreasonable, Blackstone Security still has independent law enforcement rights. At most, it can only complain when writing reports to each other.

But such a thing is unlikely to happen, because Blackstone Security provides a free club membership service to police officers who cooperate with the patrol team!

They can receive a subsidy of fifty yuan every month from the employee club under Blackstone Security, as well as donuts and coffee for thirty days!

After the amendment to the Security Law came into effect in January, there was no negative impact on society due to the implementation of the amendment.

People naturally began to accept that Blackstone Security had greater authority.

In February, several states submitted Senate slates, waiting lists for seats for members killed in the bombing of the federal Capitol.

Some new gentlemen, who had no chance of entering Congress, now have the opportunity to do so.

The York Gang lost two senators in the bombing, but they have now made up for it.

February is the coldest time of the year. The temperature in Bupain successfully exceeded minus 35 degrees. The media rushed to report on it and speculated on how high the temperature will be on this day next year.

The federal people are optimistic, at least for now. Even if the situation is so bad, they are still having fun!

The federal gaming companies, including Bupain's gaming company, followed the public opinion and opened up betting on temperature. From the accumulation of temperature changes in a week to the temperature changes in a year, there are dozens of ways to play!

In fact, not only the federation, but also the whole world has slowed down due to the bad weather. Everyone is staying at home and unwilling to go out.

Factories are shut down, schools are closed, and the world is frozen!

Lynch was also frozen at home, unable to get out, and had no place to go. The operation of the entire society had dropped to its lowest point, and there were not so many things for him to deal with.

This situation lasted until the end of March. In early April, the temperature in Bupain warmed up to minus seven or eight degrees.

The word "warming" is used here, which is also the unified wording of the mainstream media, because compared with more than 30 degrees below zero, temperatures below zero can really be described as "warm".

As long as you wear a little thicker clothes, you can at least move around outside.

The entire society has begun to gradually recover after three months of silence, and the Flight Research Institute has also brought good news.

The development of the first generation transistor computer was completed!

Regardless of the cold weather, Lynch took Connor directly to the Flight Research Institute, along with Catherine, the professor, and Senator Langdon.

Senator Langdon's "fracture" has almost healed in three months of recuperation, and his misfortunes have brought him a lot of reputation——

The source of his reputation is not how miserable he is, but how he continues to work even when he is already miserable.

The federal people themselves are not the kind of dedicated people, but they like others to be dedicated. Senator Langdon has a high voice among the people.

In addition, he has no special background. He is not from a political family or a big capitalist. Many people have a very good impression of him.

And as a person who survived the bombing, he himself also obtained a lot of political resources that he could not obtain before!

No matter how he survived, at least he experienced everything personally and survived bravely!

People love this warrior persona!

The chief engineer greeted the convoy outside the gate early in the morning. From the thick fur on his body, it can be seen that his life has been getting better and better in recent years.

Since the weather started to get colder quickly, the price of fur is getting more expensive every year.

Especially as the shelter era is approaching, these furs, which can provide humans with warm clothing, have begun to be stored in large quantities.

After all, after entering the refuge era, some species are likely to be abandoned, or raised in small quantities to maintain a small scale.

For example, bear.

Small-scale maintenance means that bearskin coats are basically out of print.

It is unrealistic to rely on the fur of bears that die naturally every other cycle to make coats.

Nowadays, the price of an average-grade bearskin coat has exceeded 5,000 yuan, and the price of a well-known brand is even higher.

The motorcade slowly stopped at the gate. Lynch was the first to come out, and the chief engineer quickly greeted him. The last one to come out was Connor.

Connor was wearing something like a ball, which looked a little funny.

Once inside the institute, it felt warm all of a sudden, and everyone took off their heavy coats.

The purpose of coming here today is for the transistor computer. Computers had actually been invented long before this, but there has been no further research and development.

It has always been used as an auxiliary calculation before, and it was mainly based on vacuum tube computers.

Now it is mainly based on transistors, and its size has been greatly reduced. More importantly, its storage performance has been greatly improved!

In fact, to be honest, neither Lynch nor Connor understands this stuff very well.

Lynch knew a little bit, but he was familiar with the kind of miniature computer that may still take decades to develop, not this kind of computer that looked like his mother's train operator's console.

But this does not prevent people from understanding its performance!

The chief engineer conducted a power-off experiment on the computer in front of everyone. Facts have proved that the transistor computer can still save data even after a complete power outage!

This provides a very good foundation for the next development!

Connor may still have a vague understanding, but the scientists are very excited.

"Our next development direction is more miniaturized integrated circuit computers. Mr. Lynch has provided us with very valuable ideas and directions."

The chief engineer boasted about Lynch's role in computer research, and Connor looked at Lynch in surprise, "I thought you only knew how to spend money!"

Lynch smiled indifferently, "Spending money is also a kind of ability, and I said, my eyes can see the future!"

"In the future, electronic computers will be as big as an oven, or even smaller than an oven, but they will be able to store massive amounts of data."

"The most important thing is that its superiority in information transmission far exceeds all current devices!"

"This is also the core of the digital information office I mentioned to you before!"
