Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Can't you please stop being so rough? This is my baby."

Leng Rui looked dissatisfied at several mutants from Section 3, who were carrying some of his equipment. He now had to get Le Xiao from the General Affairs Section to assist him, while Ran Zai smiled happily on the side.

Alpha came to see them early this morning. It seemed that Le Xiao was really in some trouble. The most critical point was that Leng Rui held a self-developed AI named Prometheus. Although the name of the AI ​​is the same as that of the Hillman family's AI in the past, it is just that the program and design are different. Section 10 has carefully and repeatedly confirmed this, but the name is the same.

Section 10 has issued a special order. As long as Leng Rui can use the AI ​​in his hand to help solve problems that currently require the use of AI functions in the city, all of his criminal records can be eliminated, and he can be directly promoted to three levels to become a director. Officer, Leng Rui is very excited about such favorable conditions.

However, the function docking of the AI ​​system is not that simple. Leng Rui plans to assist Le Xiao in logistics management first and experiment to see how far Prometheus can achieve it.

"Don't worry, Xiao Leng, I will definitely work hard for your better life in the future."

Leng Rui looked at the flame patterns emerging on the surface of the mechanical box and said immediately.

"you shut up."

Many people find this AI strange, because it is very human-like and it is extremely difficult to do this. Leng Rui also said that when he developed this AI, many of the things he added were related to himself. , fragments of life, and then often talk to the AI, and through some data obtained after normal conversations, more fragmented programs are implanted.

Previously, Ran Zai had entered the surveillance system through technology. After writing many interesting things on the street into codes, he added them to his AI system. That's why the AI ​​was so lively, really like a person.

This is slightly different from the cold and emotionless AI that many people believe, including the same thing that helped people in District 29 collectively conduct gambling analysis in the mutant arena. This AI has provided great help, helping people in District 29 of people won a lot of money.

"You kid, do it well, otherwise these criminal records will be enough for you to go in again."

A director of Section 2 joked, and Leng Rui snorted.

"Really, don't keep mentioning crimes."

Many people laughed. Leng Rui glanced at Yu Fangfang who was standing at the door of the store behind him, walked over and said.

"I'll be back in a few days."

Yu Fangfang hummed.

"Xiao Leng, rest when you are tired. Don't hold on."

Leng Rui hummed, and after Ran Zai glanced at the two of them, he walked up to them.

"Why, where's the farewell kiss!"

Both of their faces turned red, Leng Rui looked at Ran Zai.

"Stop messing around."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hand stretched out. Leng Rui stared at Yu Fangfang dumbfounded and kissed her on the cheek.

"Xiao Leng, I'm waiting for you here."

Leng Rui hummed, and Ran Zai laughed loudly, dragging Leng Rui and ran away.

"Don't you thank me?"

Leng Rui said annoyed.

"Thank you, that's all."

The helicopter took off. Leng Rui looked at Area 29 below the window, feeling a little reluctant for a moment. These days of living here made Leng Rui feel for the first time what life is. In the past, in order to survive, he could only live in the world of code every day. , from morning to night, Leng Rui didn’t quite understand things like life.

"When this crisis is over, just marry her directly."

As Ran Zai said, Leng Rui snorted. This time, the last bit of unhappiness in his heart disappeared. In the past, because Yu Fangfang was a woman in the special service industry, Leng Rui had always been a little repulsive towards her.

"You have no reason to dislike her. Although she works in this industry, she is a very good woman in life."

Leng Rui shouted immediately.

"do not talk."

Many people in the cabin laughed, not mockingly.

"Leng Rui, you are really lucky."

The director of Section 2 spoke again. Leng Rui ignored him. He always liked to make fun of himself. Ran Zai turned on the light and shadow screen. News was being reported. The senior management of the Business Section had finished their meeting. Now the whole city Everyone is paying attention to this matter, whether the business department will announce the truth as Zhao Zhen requires.

Soon the lift landed on the square of the General Affairs Section. A group of people carried equipment directly into the General Affairs Section and arrived at a large office on the fifth floor. Le Xiao, Wu Lei and three directors of the General Affairs Section Already waiting.

"Lord Le Xiao, Executive Officer No. 0002687 Chen Wei is here to report."

As soon as the director of Section 2 entered, he saluted and bowed formally, and Leng Rui burst out laughing.

"You don't have to be so polite to this idiot."

Le Xiao frowned slightly, walked over and grabbed Leng Rui's face.

"You brat."

Ran Zai smiled helplessly, and the atmosphere in the room became more cheerful. Everyone began to get busy. Wu Lei led several directors and quickly made a comparison of the production and sales volume of citizens' daily necessities. Classified and sorted.

The next step is to compare the storage and sales of daily necessities that are lacking in each area. It is necessary to schedule materials in all areas and carry out cross-complementation of materials. Excess materials in a certain area will be transferred to areas lacking such materials.

All this is to ensure that factories that produce daily necessities do not waste production time and only produce materials that are lacking in the city without causing waste.

Le Xiao has been handling it for so many days and has become very familiar with it. Most of the time she only needs to sign, but she will read every report carefully and then need to confirm that it is correct.

As the preparation work progressed, Leng Rui and the people from Section 2 quickly set up the AI ​​system. Next, they only needed to connect to the city's AI network, collect and transmit data, and Prometheus could start working. It can quickly and accurately analyze the production and sales of materials based on current data on behalf of people.

"It's time to start."

Leng Rui brought up several light and shadow screens, Le Xiao took a look and said.

"Xiao Leng, is there any problem? After all, the AI ​​has betrayed now."

Leng Rui glanced at Le Xiao and said.

"I can guarantee that Prometheus will never betray you, so don't worry."

Wu Lei sat in the corner, half-squinting his eyes. He had to rest for a while. This war that I don't know when will end is a race between time and endurance. It depends on who can persevere to the end.

2:19 noon

Niya stepped into the CBV headquarters building again. In the lobby of the building, many people were waiting. Faced with pairs of expectant eyes, Niya smiled and said.

"Don't worry, it will be fine."

Niya looked at a CBV supervisor and then walked over.

"Come with me to the inner room."

Niya said and looked around at the surveillance. After leaving the surveillance range, she entered a utility room. The supervisor behind her wiped her forehead. Niya took out a long piece of machinery. He quickly told the supervisor the plan.

"You summon all the managers in the company to the bathroom, tell them the plan as soon as possible, and then use the places in the bathroom that cannot be captured by the surveillance to import the data into the light and shadow access port, and let everyone in the company line up to receive the slowdown device. During this period, I will find a way to support Zhao Zhen."

The supervisor in front of him immediately nodded in understanding. The reason why he chose this supervisor was because he has the best performance in CBV. He has experienced many major incidents and can be calm even on the scene. To complete this rescue The plan requires everyone to cooperate quietly.

To achieve this, the retarder can only be collected in batches, and it must be undetectable by surveillance. This is an orderly plan.

Niya handed the supervisor a more detailed plan, and there were many copies of the plan on paper.

"I understand, Lady Niya."

The first few hundred people who received the slow-down equipment will go to the rooftop in batches at different times. Then the people who received the slow-down equipment will also go to designated places outside the building in batches.

In order to separate more than 4,000 people as much as possible, there are escape locations on all floors. Everyone only needs to arrive at the designated location and wait. At that time, the external transmitter will batch control the buffer on everyone's waist. Dropper and eject them directly.

In order to deal with possible emergencies, 3,000 Section 3 personnel on individual combat aircraft have been put on standby nearby to rescue the hostages as soon as possible after they are ejected.

Personnel from five departments have been deployed within two kilometers of the building. They will arrive near the landing point as soon as possible after the hostages are ejected.

"Are you aware of the plan?"

Niya lit a cigarette and the supervisor in front of her nodded.

"Such a plan would take at least several hours, and I'm afraid it would be at night, if the visibility is not good."

"The sun will not go out."

The supervisor hummed and Niya walked out of the bathroom.

"Remember, this plan is related to everyone's life, if it cannot be completed as planned."

"Lord Niya, I have a way to let everyone know the plan quickly without going through the Internet."

Niya stopped and the supervisor said confidently.

"Everyone needs to eat."

Niya hummed.

"During meals and between serving meals, I will write down a brief plan on paper. Everyone only needs to know the plan, and then the supervisors of each department will tell them the details. The company has a total of 109 supervisors. One supervisor should handle twenty or thirty people, so that should be no problem, but I need to tell all the department heads about the plan, which will take at least four or five hours."

"I know, I will try my best to hold Zhao Zhen back."

Niya quickly entered the elevator and returned to the studio again. Zhao Zhen, who was sleeping on the sofa, woke up immediately.

"It's very slow, Miss Nia."

"After all, it is such an important matter. It is a pity that the first meeting did not pass it, and we need to ask the gods for instructions."

Zhao Zhen smiled.

"It's delicious and has a lot of time. I can wait slowly."

"Want to talk about something?"

Zhao Zhen laughed.

"Then let's talk about the truth. No one will believe it if I tell it from my mouth, so I need you to announce something more specific."

Niya's expression became serious.

"How about we wait to discuss this topic after the next meeting?"

"Then let's talk a little bit. There has to be something to talk about, right?"

Niya laughed.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"Have you ever thought about why urban technology develops so fast? Every year, new technologies are released, and many technologies are quickly introduced to the market. Then the market relies on the innovation dividends brought by the technology to continue to move forward. Go, so do all aspects of the city, and in this process, the bottom class is becoming poorer and poorer, why do you think it is?"

Niya laughed.

"What's wrong with adopting new technologies too quickly? Isn't everything just to make everyone's life more convenient?"

Zhao Zhen laughed loudly.

“Life is indeed very convenient, but rapid technological innovation has caused many people to lose their jobs, because many jobs that people could do in the past can now be done by machines, and their efficiency and accuracy are much higher than those of people. high."

"That's for sure."

Niya still answered casually. She knew what Zhao Zhen was going to say. Now Niya could only deliberately avoid the core points of some questions.

"So what else do people need to do? We can't completely replace it with machines!"

"Indeed, you are right, but many parts of the construction of these technologies cannot be completed mechanically, right?"

Zhao Zhen hummed and then said.

"Now that many technical things have been set up, there is no need for people."

"I don't know about this. After all, I am the section chief of Section 5, not Section 10. How about I ask Noah to come over and answer your question?"

Zhao Zhen burst out laughing.

"Okay, since Miss Niya doesn't want to answer this question, let's change the topic."

Niya immediately shook her head.

"It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that I really don't know very well. As you know, I took the exam for the business department and my results were terrible. I took the exam many times before I passed. What bothered me the most was the math, physics and chemistry exams. Something."

Zhao Zhen put away his smile and then laughed.

"So Miss Niya, do you think our lifespan is too long?"

Niya said after lighting a cigarette.

"Why? Do you think you've lived too long?"

Zhao Zhen nodded.

"The excessively long lifespan has allowed humans to work three to five times longer than in the past, and many people have worked in the same job for forty, fifty, even sixty or seventy years. What I want to say is that there are really people who can Will we continue as usual?"

Niya exhaled a puff of smoke and then said.

"How about we interview the citizens? I don't know how to answer your question!"
