Chapter 1213: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 46 (Part 2)

August 13, 2216

In District 33, located in the middle of the west, a large number of citizens came to a fenced-off construction site at 1 p.m. Some people looked delighted.

A large number of reporters have been waiting for a long time. Today is the day when the first subway in Brilliant City is officially opened. As early as a month ago, the Angus family had carried out some activities in the 11 districts where the subway passes. Some lucky people were randomly selected to participate in the trial ride of the first subway today. These selected people will receive a free one-year free ride card issued by the Angus family.

Many people holding black cards are waiting. The black card is 8 cm long and 4 cm wide, with a strong metallic texture and golden circuit pattern lines on one side.

The ride system is independent of the city network system, so an NDA ride card is required.

At this time, the heads of the Angus family and the Hillman family got off a car that had just arrived, and reporters began to crowd over.

The stable speed of this subway is 1200km/h. The straight-line distance from the middle-level station to the center of the lower level 89 district is 86 kilometers, and it only takes 5 minutes to reach the destination.

The person in charge of the Angus family is talking about subway-related matters. Under the arrangement of some staff, the selected people began to walk towards the entrance. The person in charge led a group of people to walk.

The downward stairs are 10 meters wide. After going down, there is a spacious hall about 50 meters long. There are 5 tracks in total. Each subway car is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2.5 meters high, like an iron box, suspended on the track. Each subway can carry 68 people.

At this time, as the person in charge spoke, those who held the train card stood in front of a subway. The number of people drawn this time is 300, plus some media reporters, a total of more than 800 people, who will take a test ride.

After the door opened, red grids appeared on the ground of the subway. According to the instructions, a man reached the bottom. As soon as he stood on it, strips of light were released on the ground, and soon a comfortable light and shadow seat appeared. After the man sat down, the reporter immediately went over to ask first.

"Sir, how do you feel?"

The man was a little surprised, looking at the light that occasionally shot out from the seat, and then formed a fixed seat belt, completely fixing himself on the seat.

"Very comfortable!"

The chair was very soft and comfortable, and the seat belt was just right. The person in charge of the Angus family immediately explained that because the subway was equipped with an AI system, it could instantly detect a person's height and weight, and then directly adjust the data of the light and shadow chair to generate a chair suitable for the passenger, and then fix the passenger.

As passengers entered the area at the bottom one by one, the first subway was soon full of people.

Some reporters had already called up the light and shadow screen, placed it in front of them, and began to report.

"Mr. Nuss, will the speed cause visual problems in the passengers' brains?"

"Please rest assured, all trains have deceleration glass, and everyone sees only the slowly moving light strip."

At this time, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, the first subway full of people began to move slowly in an instant. Some technical testers of the Angus family waited quietly, and everyone looked at the values ​​on the light and shadow screen with a sweat.

In the blink of an eye, the subway disappeared. The data on the light and shadow panel was still jumping. At 19 seconds, the speed reached the upper limit, 1200km/h, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people couldn't wait to start pouring into the subway trains, and at this time, you can see that the 10 subways arranged on the 5 tracks are constantly switching to the first track, which is very convenient.

At this time, many people are watching the video of the reporter who is experiencing the ride. She keeps screaming, saying that it is like a roller coaster, because the subway is not a straight line, there will be a slight slope, but there is no bumpy feeling at all, only a very refreshing feeling, always feeling like riding a roller coaster in an amusement park, but much more exciting than that, and the safety and reliability are also very comfortable.

"Mr. Nus, many citizens are most concerned about the fare. May I ask..."

"Please rest assured, the price of the subway is 0.1 yuan per kilometer, which means that you only need to spend 20 yuan for a journey of more than 200 kilometers from the east to the west."

Everyone present was stunned. For such a long distance, if you take a bus, it will cost at least 50 yuan. Even if you take the cheapest bus between regions, it will cost more than 30 yuan, and you need to change buses frequently, which will take at least four or five hours. But now, a journey of 200 kilometers only takes 10 to 12 minutes, which is unimaginable for many people.

And each district has 5 stations in the east, south, west, north and center. You can travel through all the districts of the entire Brilliant City in just one day, and you can even stay in each district for a while before leaving.

At this time, accompanied by cheers, the first train of subways has arrived on a giant light and shadow screen in the subway hall.

A large number of people cheered and walked onto the streets from Station 891 in District 89. Most reporters were reporting on this incident. This would greatly save traffic time, because the traffic volume in the city is too large now. Many main roads will still be congested even if they are 30 to 50 meters wide.

Especially during the period of underground construction, the congestion became more and more serious. Most people would not choose to take a car as long as the distance was within 5 to 10 kilometers. It was faster to walk, and they could go through streets and alleys, which could also shorten the time. Because most major roads need to give way to the planned roads for transporting materials, many times cars may be stuck at the intersection of a district for half an hour.

In the past eight months, there have been complaints in the city. Although Congress promised that it would not have a big impact on the lives of citizens, in fact, the life of the city has been completely disrupted.

The first thing is that the goods are almost completely out of stock. The streets are deserted. Most people can only stay idle at home, especially those working in the manufacturing and sales industries. In addition to eating and sleeping, they watch entertainment programs, movies and TV series, or play games every day.

The factory that Congress had promised to start construction in half a year has now been delayed. Some problems and construction accidents occurred during the period, which made it impossible to complete the project as planned. The workers worked overtime every day, but still could not start the factory.

Many underground works can only be redone and reshaped with high-density cement, and some factories even have their foundations sunk.

The strictness of underground construction is outrageous. The error value of underground facilities can only be between 0.1 and 0.2, while some places need to achieve 0 error. Even if the workers have the most advanced grinding machines, such a tiring project makes most people miserable.

Food prices have begun to rise uncontrollably, but they are still within a controllable range, with an increase of only less than 20%. Now housing prices in various parts of the city have begun to usher in a new round of crazy growth, but soon this momentum was directly hit by Wang Ying, the president of the Construction Association.

Although it can curb the rise in housing prices, it cannot curb the overall rise in store rents. House rents have also begun to rise in price. Water and electricity prices have also begun to rise. The various subsidies in the area in the past are almost gone, which is why the citizens are very angry.

Congress has invested all its money and resources in this underground project, which has caused extremely serious harm to the lives of most people. Even if wages have risen, those who are unemployed at home will still receive a living standard salary in the area.

The entertainment industry has ushered in unprecedented growth, and the game industry has also shown a straight-line blowout. Many people have switched to making game software at this time.

Everyone just hopes that all this will end soon, and then usher in a new era of light and shadow materialization.

Wherever the underground project goes, it is necessary to renovate and build residential houses. These projects were taken down by the Wang family in part, and there is another man who suddenly emerged at this time, Zou Yun, who took over most of the residential renovation projects.

The renovation of residential buildings is more complex and huge. The renovation involves electricity, water conservancy and the Internet. There are terminals for light and shadow material transmission pipes in many residential areas, and the light and shadow material access points in the home must be installed by the people themselves.

Some people have realized that the future may usher in an era of billing. If you don’t buy the items yourself, but use some light and shadow products from a rental company, you need to pay. Even if you buy them, you need to pay for new templates and repairs.

The resentment that has been suppressed for too long can always find a breakthrough. In the past eight months, there have been more than 1,032 recorded cases of violations of the Public Security Administration Law, 348 cases of destruction of public facilities, theft, and robbery almost every day. In most areas undergoing renovation, these cases are getting worse.

Nearly 50,000 staff members are running around the city every day, but Alpha has issued a deferred labor punishment regulation for the 5th Public Security Management Section. For some people with relatively minor crimes, the punishment will be deferred, but if they violate the law again during the deferred punishment period, they will be directly classified as lv5 criminals, and the fastest situation may be 1 year in prison, rather than simply going to the dormitory of Section 12 for labor punishment.

"If I come here again next time, all of you don't have to work."

Alpha held a cigarette in his mouth and stared quietly at a section officer and more than 10 team leaders of the 68th District Public Security Management Office in front of him. They all lowered their heads with resentful looks. A male director next to him smiled helplessly, kicked Alpha, and walked over.

"Everyone just needs to be more serious in the future. Everyone has been busy recently, so when dealing with problems, just spend a few more minutes and pay attention to the details. Okay, everyone go to work!"

A bunch of people left the office, and Alpha sat meticulously in front of the light and shadow screen, still dealing with things in the section.

"Really, President, there's no need to do this. Now the people below are complaining that you're too harsh in handling things."

"Kohler, if they can't even do the most basic things, I won't be polite. Then the several regional department officers under them will all be fired next year."

Kohler smiled helplessly and nodded. He also knew that the nine regional officers assigned to him had exhausted him. Many problems that were very easy to deal with became stubborn knots on their side. Mutual blame was a common feature of them.

Kohler could only deal with it personally every time because he was short of manpower. The examination of the administrative department had passed, and some people really came to participate. Because it was the first time, the standard was very low. The 1,038 participants only needed to score more than 60 points to pass. After participating in the school's three-month training, they could be directly assigned to various departments. Among them, 402 people scored more than 60 points, only 103 people scored more than 70 points, 10 people scored more than 80 points, and no one scored more than 90 points.

This standard is the same as the standard in their five-department school. In less than 8 months, a large number of problems were exposed. There were too many weak points in the past management.

Since they started the review, most management officials have paid great attention to economic issues. Everyone knows that as long as they don't abuse taxes at will, or even save taxes, they will not be held accountable, so most administrators have reached out to families and businessmen.

Money and power soon sparked a spark. Merchants were treated with very generous conditions to allow them to carry out economic activities in the region. The economy in the region was boosted, taxes were increased, and the people above would not complain, and the management officials also got the benefits they should get.

In the years when the light and shadow materialization technology was open, the application for economic activities was very easy to pass, and the qualification standards were relatively low, but now it is different. After applying in 9 departments, it is necessary to receive economic review from 7 departments, and then finally go to 1 department to get the certificate. If there is a problem in any link, it will be sent back to the previous link.

Most people are now miserable, and with this construction project, the original management staff who have never endured such high-intensity work in the past are extremely tired.

"Gill should be off for vacation. President, do you want to take a day or two off?"

Kohler looked at Alpha, but Alpha was completely immersed in work at this time.

"What did you just say?"

Kohler smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"President, I will lead them to work, so that it will be more efficient."

After Alpha nodded, he immediately sent Kohler a processed document and some things that needed to be dealt with in this district that she had selected.

"Give them three days. If they can't handle it well, they will be directly deducted one-third of their monthly salary according to the management regulations of the operation department."

Kohler could only nod helplessly and turned to walk out of the office. He looked back at Alpha, who was still strict and hard-line as in school.

Although this is indeed very good, the enthusiasm of the 5th department has been mobilized, but there are some problems now. Those guys in the 3rd department colluded with some gang members privately and made some private transactions during the construction.

Many people in the 5th department are very unhappy with this. Some people in the 3rd department even openly charge some fees to the citizens, and most people are not too opposed to such behavior in the spirit of wanting to make money. After all, if there is a problem, they can let the people in the 3rd department back them up.

Alpha knew all this, but he only told Osman to handle it himself. Now the biggest role of Section 5 is to stabilize public security. Today's public security has become a little chaotic. Robbery and theft are what they need to deal with as soon as possible, because the network in some places has been interrupted and the surveillance can only be removed, resulting in the continuous expansion of blind spots in the city.

In addition, some criminals are now investigating some counterfeit cases. In order to make profits, some lawbreakers have begun to sell some counterfeit and shoddy goods, and these goods are all defective without exception, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now Section 5 is mainly focused on these issues.

Because there are many participants, and the black market trading lines that have emerged during the period have begun to form, many of the people confessed by the arrested are not producers, and some cases have not even touched the shadow of the producer.

The situation is becoming more and more serious. Such problems can only be directly eliminated from the root problem of supply and demand if production is resumed in the factory area.

The situation in other departments is only a little easier in Department 10. The situation in the agricultural base is even more chaotic. The construction of underground facilities has directly affected the planting of farmland. Department 12 has planned to put up an isolation membrane to prevent the waste gas and harmful particles and dust generated by the construction from drifting into the farmland.

The crops in some areas have been affected. In addition, some places have to reform even the water plants, which has led to water shortages in some places. Water supply has also become a big problem. The only way to supply the people is heavy water, a high-density solid water composed entirely of water molecules. After returning home, the people only need to undergo degradation reactions to get water.

These minor problems have been expected, but the chaos still began to spread without limit.

Beep beep

Alpha picked up the phone. It was Zijuan calling.

"What's wrong?"

"Take your people over and arrest the 3 department personnel on the list of 431 people in District 88. I have sent the documents."

Alpha called up another light and shadow screen. He felt a chill as soon as he saw the documents.

"It's only been less than 8 months, and it's already gone bad and rotten, ah!"

"How can we convict him?"

Alpha asked, and Zijuan said directly after being silent for a while.

"We must give all the people in the three departments a warning and convict them as urban endangerments."

Alpha's eyes widened.

"Will it be"

"They have the right to hire a defense lawyer. President, please communicate with Heathcote. These guys must be brought to justice. If not for crimes against the city, at least for crimes against the city's economy. To convict them, you have to let them go in for at least three to five years.”

Alpha hummed. The 431 people on the file were all asking for fees from businesses in the area, and even raising the price of water delivered there. The investigation report was given by Section 2, with detailed videos and photos, including witnesses and physical evidence. .

Alpha stood up angrily, took out his phone and sent out a series of action codes. He quickly rushed to the yard and drove a lift towards Area 88.

Not only these things, they directly block some road sections to monopolize the flow of people. If the merchants do not pay, they will block the road sections near the merchants for various reasons.

And the most troublesome point is that Section 3 has extra-judicial execution rights and the right not to be interfered with. Except for the military law that can restrict them, the city's laws cannot interfere with Section 3 on criminal issues above level 3.

This was established by the gods long before the establishment of the operational department. This was to protect the army from being held accountable for casualties when performing tasks such as suppressing riots, but now it has become 3 Branch's protective shield.

If convicted of crimes against the city, it would be a lv2 crime.

Soon Alpha landed the helicopter on the roof of a six-story building. She looked at a large number of people sitting on the seats that had been set up on a street, drinking wine and holding guns. It looked like The free and unorganized members of the three departments.

Whoosh

Alpha jumped directly. For a moment, everyone in the two teams looked at Alpha in surprise and stood up hurriedly.

"Lord Alpha, I don't know."

Alpha set up a light and shadow screen.

"Now that all of you have been arrested for urban endangerment crimes, please hold your heads in your hands and lie on the ground."

For a moment, everyone looked at Alpha in shock, and the two team captains immediately winked at each other.

"Sir Alpha, we have three subjects"

"Don't you understand me?"

Alpha exhaled a puff of smoke, and some general staff members had already done so, lying on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Listen, you have the right to hire a lawyer for this matter."

Alpha said as he glared at the two unhappy team captains in front of him. They were members of the poor faction of the military. At this time, the two of them were still thinking about something.

"Are you going to resist arrest?"

At this time, not far away, a helicopter flew over, and personnel from Section 5 of the Public Security Management Office in the neighborhood also came out.

In the end, the two team leaders lay on the ground with their heads in their hands. Soon Alpha heard a noise. She ran quickly and soon came to a street. Some members of Section 3 were responsible for security work near the construction site. They were confronting the people from Section 5.

"Everyone on your list, please put down your weapons and lie down on the ground!"

Alpha roared, but at this time, many people in Section 3 still did not move. Some team leaders and section officers were still saying that they had the right to non-interference outside the law and did not need to report anything to Section 5.

Alpha clenched his fists and watched the time pass by.

"The time is up, and now you have an additional charge, resisting arrest!"

Whoosh

As a red light flashed, Alpha had rushed over in an instant, and screams broke out. Nearly a hundred people from Section 3 began to wail, and some people directly fell to the ground with their heads in their hands.

Several officials who took the lead and wanted to continue to resist arrest all lay on the ground, and Alpha glanced around coldly.

"Handcuff them and temporarily detain them in the security management center."

At this time, a large number of people gathered around the outside area. Many people smiled happily and clapped their hands. Alpha watched as more and more people gathered.

"Citizens, please listen carefully. If any manager asks you for money or other things, please refuse. If you encounter injustice, please report the case directly to Section 5. I don't care who he is or where he is." In such a position, I will arrest him, and I will arrest anyone who commits a crime!"

At this time, in an office far away in the eastern security station, a large number of proletarian officers gathered together. They looked at the content on the news, and many of them laughed.

"Do those idiots really dare to do something so blatantly?"

"Yes, he never died."

"If it were me, I would just do it secretly. But if you do it so blatantly, it will be a disaster."

More than 40 people laughed one after another, and they were still discussing the division of interests among field tasks.

The door to the room was pushed open, and everyone looked over for a moment. A bunch of people were just sitting quietly. After seeing Osman, many people had no respect for the section chief in their eyes, but just looked at it with normality. With.

"Section Chief, what's the matter?"

Under the leadership of several department officials, a group of talents stood up lazily and bowed casually.

"I believe everyone has been notified of what just happened."

"Of course Section Chief, we were not involved. They committed such a serious crime, and they will naturally be punished. But Section Chief, don't we, Section 3, have two rights? Rights outside the law, 5 People from Section dare to arrest our people openly, Section Chief, shouldn’t you warn Section Chief Alpha?”

Osman hummed, and his heart started to get angry, but the current situation made him have no choice but to continue to endure it. Although he did what King Xue said and achieved certain results, new problems emerged. .

The group of people who came from the 3rd Science School have been squeezed out. Osman wanted to promote them, but it was very difficult and encountered a lot of resistance from the staff of the two factions.

"I just hope that people don't get involved in things that endanger people."

As Osman said this, he turned around and left the conference room, where there were bursts of laughter again.

Section 3 has long since lost its spine. Just as Zijuan said, Section 3 has gradually turned into a bunch of boneless mud during the years of being marginalized.

Because there is no sense of crisis, most people hold the attitude that the worst possible outcome is to quit. Osman often receives a large number of resignation documents before construction begins.

After the implementation of the external assignment plan, there were only a few resignation documents. In addition, the military expenditure has been cut by a large amount this year, and the voice of dissatisfaction has become stronger and stronger.

"What should I do!"

Osman became a little annoyed. It seemed that it was difficult to establish an effective warning through this incident. The only way was to have Section 3 withdraw from the project construction, but this was obviously impossible, because if Section 5 was to take on these tasks If he eats anything, Alpha will really be exhausted.
