Psychics don't die from gunfire

"Good morning, Anning City."

"Smile? Yes, the audience in front of the screen, I know my smile may be a bit exaggerated now, but please allow me to be so exaggerated. At this moment, I am full of excitement and officially announce to everyone the good news I have just received."

"Just yesterday, a research team led by a scholar from Wencheng University officially made a breakthrough on the topic of 'electron pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductors.' Perhaps in the near future, the root of the superconducting phenomenon will be The mystery of the quantum rigidity of the electron wave function will be revealed to us at a glance——"

A huge holographic projection hangs from the side wall of the silver-white building. The host on the screen is smiling and announcing the news for the new day.

“Everything is about moving towards the future.”

Under the stop sign on the street, people who were waiting for the bus were staring at the giant screen. When they heard the "breakthrough progress", many people couldn't help but cheer.

bite--

At half past six, this bus arrived on time.

So, those waiting people whispered excitedly to each other and quickly got on the bus and headed to their workstations.

".They all come from workshops."

Far away from the stop sign, next to a landscape potted plant, Song Shi came to a conclusion.

In the counties under the jurisdiction of the [Learning Council], everyone will undergo a long selection process from the time they are babbling, which will continue until they reach adulthood, and the final results will be revealed.

Talented people are promoted to "schools", receive higher education, and become researchers.

Those without talent will sink into the "workshop". After receiving professional and technical training, and based on the results of career evaluation, they will be placed in the positions that are considered the most suitable. From then on, they will work hard all their lives just to support their superiors.

"Is it because of the vehicle?" Ai Lu wore a peaked cap and stood beside him, his posture deliberately relaxed.

"Yes, the currency equivalence system has almost been abandoned and replaced by a unified distribution of resource quotas."

Song Shi affirmed: "These are ordinary employees from the 'workshop'. Their resource quotas and purchasing rights cannot buy private vehicles such as cars and shuttles. Senior technical employees are an exception, but after all, those It’s a minority.”

"Normally speaking, those who are qualified and have quotas to switch to private vehicles are researchers from 'academies'. They don't know how to take the bus, which is too inefficient."

"Let me think about what they said."

Song Shi pondered for a moment and made a gesture: "-'It is also shameful to waste a minute.'"

After the words, the two suddenly stopped talking for a while, just browsing the street scene silently.

The first impression this city brings to people is that it is "simple" and "neat". Silver-white buildings stand tall, streets are spacious, and signboards stand straight. When you look up, there is nothing like corporate alliances or anything close to light pollution. Infinite neon.

But this does not mean that this place is backward.

on the contrary.

Song Shi could clearly see patrol drones flying steadily through the streets and alleys, ready to handle any situation at any time.

The empty rails around the city are like giant steel snakes, flowing through the city in an extremely shocking manner, and vehicles carrying cargo pass by at high speed.

Further away, a huge dome sky rising from the edge of the inner ring, embracing the inner city of Anning City.

As the core city of [Baishu County], it is the location of "Baishu No. 1 University of Higher Education".

Anning City is fortunate to have built this giant project, the "Sky Canopy", which covers the inner ring of Anning City and can adjust a series of parameters such as climate as desired.

In the earphones, Lapis Lazuli provided timely popular science, introducing Song Shi to the excellence of these things in the simplest and most understandable terms.

"...Excellent technical capabilities." Lapis Lazuli judged: "I have checked the parameters of these skimming patrol drones, and their performance is not inferior to the security models currently promoted by Time Series."

"Of course."

Song Shi said casually: "The technical capabilities of the Knowledge Council are the best in the Eastern Continent. If this cannot compare with the Enterprise Alliance, then I suggest surrendering directly."

"But there's one thing to say." Song Shi sighed: "In terms of singularity technology, it is true that corporate alliances have the biggest advantage. Three items are not as good as nine."

"There is no one left." Ai Lu, who was staring at the street, suddenly spoke.

He glanced around and saw that this street, which was full of people not long ago and could be called a vibrant street, suddenly became deserted at some point.

Literally.

Except for a few autonomous cleaning robots that tirelessly rotated the cleaning disk and swept the street over and over again, there was not a single person or car in sight on the huge and spacious street. Song Shi and Ai Lu were still standing beside the landscape potted plants. Became the only living thing here.

This is incredible. Given the size of Anning City, how could there be a "dead street" situation?

"Don't worry, it won't be noticeable." At this moment, Lapis Lazuli interrupted: "I have placed a hidden mark on you, and now the camera cannot show your images."

It is equivalent to putting on an "invisibility cloak" specifically for cameras.

"What time is it now?"

Song Shi asked Ai Lu.

The latter quickly replied: "Seventeen past seven."

"Yeah, it's already seven o'clock."

Song Shi said leisurely: "The employees of the workshop must work in exchange for today's resource quota. The researchers of the school must work hard to study and strive for early breakthroughs in the project. There is no place for idle personnel in the Academic Council."

"——So, it's time for us to get down to business."

Song Shi put an energy bar in his mouth and took the first step.

He walked quickly to a roadside billboard.

Since entering Anning City, there is almost no "commercial advertising" in the conventional sense. There is no advertising holographic projection, neon signboard, endorsement short film, etc. On the giant screens hanging on the outer wall of the building, there are only scientific research documentaries and news played around the clock.

And billboards built everywhere in the city.

This is a two-meter-high touch-screen operation device with a high-definition LCD display.

The UI above is as simple as the architectural style here, and is neatly divided into several sections such as "News Information", "Project Announcement", and "Volunteer Channel".

The most eye-catching position in the news resource section is the "Electron Pairing Mechanism of High-Temperature Superconductors" topic reported by the morning news host not long ago. It is recorded in detail and popularizes the significance of this project.

However, Song Shi only glanced at it and turned to look at the project announcement section.

Click to enter, click the search range, and limit it to "Anning City".

The screen swiped and the catalogue came out——

[Compound ketone enzyme extraction process based on the concept of quality from design]

[Application research of near-infrared spectroscopy technology to detect the components of Aji spores]

[Microscopic changes of Mishe ions under high temperature conditions]

[Application of high-performance sensors of carbon nanotubes.]

There are a wide variety of research projects, which are the research projects that are currently open to the public in Anning City and the Council of Knowledge.

Every citizen of the Council of Knowledge can view these on the billboards everywhere.

They can clearly witness that the Council of Knowledge is not lying at all, and is leading them forward with a resolute and firm attitude.

Towards the future.

Then Song Shi's browsing sight stopped and fixed on one of them.

[Thought transformation experiment based on plasticity theory]

The corresponding disciplines are psychology and sociology.

Song Shi's eyes revealed an undisguised sneer.

"——Found it."
