Creating a Sandbox World

  The Governor’s Mansion governs 39 cities, issues laws, maintains public order, and safeguards social production. Some important departments are scattered in various cities.

  As for the difference between the outer city and the inner city, it is very interesting. Simply put, there are more "producers" in the inner city, and more "proletarians" in the outer city.

  Well, this kind of statement is not easy to understand. Lin Tuo made an analogy with the earth and found that Ueno Star looked like a high welfare society with unlimited resources.

  The energy of the whole society is diverse, but the most important thing is ether, and the material resources here seem to be unlimited and infinite.

  Every resident does not need to work at all, and can receive a fixed amount of contribution points from the Government House every month for consumption.

  The Governor's Mansion provides basic housing, which is the same buildings as the small western-style buildings around it. As for education, medical care, and pensions, there is no additional cost, which is part of social welfare.

  In short, people here can enjoy a very good life without having to do any work in their lives. Social posts are highly automated, and most of them are completed by ether-driven machines, while the ubiquitous network restricts crime.

Jobs are extremely scarce, social promotion channels are closed, and most people have no jobs to do. Many entertainment facilities are highly developed. Large-scale event venues such as "Night City" are designed to solve the problem of imperial people, especially young people. People have nowhere to vent their energy and build.

  There are many similar event venues in every large city, and repertoires are staged regularly. People can participate in battles, earn contribution points to make more consumption, and pursue higher material and spiritual needs in an already very rich life.

  And similar entertainment methods are not limited to this, such as large-scale virtual games similar to the original No. 2 World Dungeon "Third Continent", because it is difficult to provide enough jobs in reality, I have to resort to virtual...

   Another example is the movie in this world, which is also very interesting. When it is released, everyone can use the device to substitute a certain role in the movie, and then experience different story lines.

  This leads to a "movie" that can be watched many times, once for the male lead, once for the female lead, and even a small supporting role...

   And every time you enter, you are appreciating the story from a new perspective... or all kinds of gambling, it is extremely popular with some adults, and no one will really lose everything in the gambling game.

  Even if you spend all your contributions in the current month, you can still go to the welfare agency to receive free food and last until next month...

  When he saw these, Lin Tuo had a feeling, as if the only “work” of the people living in the entire outer city was consumption and entertainment.

  Similar to the end of the Night City event, those who took the aircraft to count the losses are already one of the few general-purpose posts in the outer city.

  As for the inner city, there are more job opportunities.

  Some of them are employed in various institutions that maintain the operation of the society, and some are creative positions, outputting ideas, and manufacturing entertainment products.

  Design a variety of new products, deliver them to unmanned factories to produce, and then sell them to the outer city, and there are high-end service industries and the like.

   And most of these positions are transferred between inner cities.

  As for those “producers” who are motivated to work and struggle, it is to earn more contribution points to buy some scarce items.

  For example, leaving the Ueno star area and migrating to countless years away from the empire’s "inland" living qualifications, such as purchasing more scarce spiritual material enjoyment, or purchasing opportunities for evolution.

  For the vast majority of empires, from birth, there is a free evolution quota, which is similar to the etheric body tempering, which improves the physical fitness. After that, if you want to evolve, you need to use contribution points to purchase.

  Moreover, the price is very high.

  This gave Lin Tuo a strange sense of fragmentation.

  On the one hand, the vast majority of people in the outer city do not have any pressure to survive, and the only thing to consider is entertainment and consumption.

  On the other hand, the people in the inner city are clinging to the few posts and vying for resources.

  On the one hand, material resources are extremely rich, so that a city can be built for entertainment, allowing people to consume ether unscrupulously to fight.

  After the event is over, repair it again and wait for the second opening.

  On the other hand, spiritual resources are extremely precious or stingy, so that a “proletarian” in an outer city needs to resist entertainment and consumption, and can only purchase an evolutionary quota after accumulating for many years.

  "What a strange world." After a long silence, Huaxi suddenly said with emotion.

  Lin Tuo smiled and touched her head: "This is as if you are very knowledgeable."

  "Isn't it?" Huaxi raised his head.

  She always feels that she has a lot of experience.

  Like Lin Tuo has never experienced the destruction of the world she lived in, she has experienced it.

"It's really weird," Mount Sinai pulled off the gift bag on his back and frowned. "My main doubt is their source of material, high level of civilization, high degree of mechanical automation, and I understand that a large number of low-end jobs have been replaced. .

  However, the foundation of such high welfare requires almost unlimited material and energy. Where do these come from? "

Hathaway next to    interrupted:

  "For energy, ether is used. Everyone in this world has a physical fitness comparable to a martial artist. The ether concentration of the entire planet is high, so just use it.

  There are so many spiritual worlds in this thing, endless, and your Southern Continent is not the same, as for matter..."

  "Substance converter." Lin Tuo said suddenly, "Did you not notice, there is information on the maintenance of the substance converter."

  A few people looked over.

  They also noticed the word, but the words above are unclear, and they don’t know what it means.

  Lin Tuo pays special attention to this word.

  As far as he can see, Ueno Star does have a huge waste of resources, and resources must not appear out of thin air. With such an "ultimate" social form, the acquisition of resources is definitely a problem.

  In terms of energy, even if the ether is sufficient, the empires do not have the slightest awareness of saving it.

  Inherent in itself, can it really support this level of consumption?

  It’s matter...it reminded him of the “material transformation” function of the “derivative sand table”.

  Using the sand table, he can turn a small car of soil into a real continent.

  On the Pacific Ocean, the land of 10 million square kilometers was derived from the excavation of a few trucks from the mountain?

  Since the evolving sand table comes from the empire, it is understandable that the other party has similar technologies.

  Perhaps, in the empire, any tree can be converted to provide a super city for a year.

  In this case, it can explain the basis of this high welfare.

  Of course, this is only his speculation, which needs to be further explored.

   "Well, let's leave here first." Lin Tuo put away his thoughts.

  "Where shall we go? Find a place to live? Speaking of which, there should be a hotel in this place." Huaxi said.

  Lin Tuo raised the bracelet and looked at the inside. When the markings on the Ueno Star Zone were...well, it was really not used to it. In short, it should be a while before dawn.

  "Call a car, go around." Lin Tuo said, manipulating a new program in the bracelet, and tried to call a car.

  Empire’s systems are also quite interesting. It’s not like on Earth, where Meituan is installed on the phone. No matter where you go, there is this app in your phone, but once you leave the delivery area, it won’t work.

  The system of the Ueno Star Zone changes according to the location of people.

  For example, when the bracelet was opened on the earth at the earliest, there were only a few very basic functions in it. At that time, he still wondered that it might be special equipment for combat personnel, not so much bells and whistles.

  As a result, when I arrived at Night City, I was connected to the system in the active area.

  When you get here, there will be "taxi software".

   is very interesting.

With a simple scan, you can rent a car inside the software. If you set a "permanent lease", it is equivalent to buying a car, but this thing does not need to be supported by itself. When it is not in use, it does not know where it flew and called Just come here.

  The other kind is similar to an unmanned taxi, charging according to the distance traveled.

  As for that kind of large bus, it's free.

  Lin Tuo tried to buy a virtual "monthly card" in it, and spent five contribution points. The total number of miles available appeared on it... a bunch of zeros, quite a lot.

  Then choose the model, there are short-distance rides, and the ones that can lie down. The most weird thing is that Lin Tuo also found a "multi-bed" model in it.

  Let him fall into contemplation briefly...

  Click "Call".

  Only less than ten seconds later, an unmanned capsule-like aircraft landed in the sky and opened the door automatically. There was not much space inside. The layout was somewhat similar to a train seat with a table with sofa seats on each side.

  The three people went up, sat down, the door closed automatically, and a map appeared on the virtual panel popped up by the bracelet. Lin Tuo tried to expand it to understand the whole world.

  But I found that the map stopped moving after it was expanded to a certain range, eh, because it was unnecessary?

  Lin Tuo thought, and set a command to drive toward the inner city.

   "Swish——" In the low buzzing sound, the aircraft rose up, followed an invisible orbit, and flew away through the night sky.

  You can even adjust the speed...

  Lin Tuo adjusted to the proper rhythm, looking out through the glass boat with Huaxi River Sinai.

  On the ground, a little bit of light swiftly passed by. After a while, the scenery of the ground was the same, which was enough to show the huge city.

   Suddenly, Huaxi said in surprise: "There is a lot of light there."

  Lin Tuo looked around, and saw a certain location below, there was obviously a brighter light than usual. He adjusted the direction and moved forward and found that it was a building similar to an open-air stadium.

  From the sky, it looks like a ring lying on the ground.

Inside   , the lights are brightly lit, and as it approaches, there is also the sound of music faintly. In the stadium, a large lawn is full of various activities and decorations, and many people gather together.

  At the same time, in all directions, some aircraft landed one after another.

  "What kind of activity is this?" In doubt, Lin Tuo and the three got out of the car looking for a location and walked towards the venue. There was indeed a sound of music coming from inside, as if there was a singing activity.

  Large groups of young men and women, some of them are normal, some of them are fancy dresses.

  Comparing conversation, or gathering together to eat, have a party.

  The three of them walked in quietly, looked around, Mount Sinai thought for a while: "Music festival?"

   Huaxi sniffed: "Concert?"

  Hathaway did not appear, but the voice appeared in the minds of several people:

   "Let's live-action cosplay, I have seen the images on the sideways on the billboards on the road. They seem to be characters from a series of movies."

   "Shhh." Lin Tuo interrupted a few people's discussion suddenly, turned around, and saw a young girl wearing loose clothes that resembled a raincoat and full of slogans walking over.

  There are a bunch of weird things hanging around his neck, and he is holding a pile of...flyers? ?

   Seeing a few people, she smiled and said:

   "Welcome! I didn't expect comrades to come over so late!"

  Lin Tuo's eyes fluctuated, and he said: "We passed by and saw activity here, so..."

   "Ah, it's okay!" The girl was slightly startled when she heard the words, and immediately became more enthusiastic, "That's right, our preaching activity is to attract more comrades to join!"

  Speaking, she familiarly stuffed one person with a flyer and a small flag, and introduced herself:

   "You can call me Ai Ai, well, you may not know this preaching beforehand, but you should have heard our appeal! Yes, yes, we are the sponsor of Proposal No. 15..."

   Opposite, Lin Tuo and the three looked at each other, pretending to be calm, and at the same time erected their ears to follow the bleak girl named Ai Ai.

  After listening for a while, I probably understood the situation.

  Ai Ai belongs to this "promotion conference" organization. According to her, she is an imperial youth who is keen on political movements...

   Frankly speaking, Lin Tuo's eyes changed when he heard the "political movement", and he was somewhat speechless if he couldn't wait to finish listening to the content.

   roughly means that the city’s recent delays in the construction of the new "activity area" project have been delayed, and the existing activity area has not been updated for more than a year, which is difficult to meet the entertainment needs of the city's youth.

   To put it bluntly, it is that large entertainment venues like Night City are tired of playing...The speed of government update iterations is too slow, which has caused dissatisfaction among many young people.

  So this social group takes the lead and plans to add a proposal to the next issue of the Government’s Office for comments...

  The event held tonight is to attract more young people to join in and "make a sound"...

   "So, do you want us to join together? Promote the implementation of Proposal 15?" Lin Tuo asked.

Ai Ai nodded vigorously and snapped his fingers: "Yes! That's it! Don't you think this is a social problem that needs to be solved urgently?"

  No...As an earthling, I really don’t think...

   Lin Tuo silently complained in his heart, and asked casually: "So what about the specific content of the proposal?"

   Ai Ai shook her fist excitedly and said:

  "Yes! We are going to propose to flatten the night city...and then rebuild a different world style city. Well, the original space is not big enough. It is best to destroy the unfinished activity area and rebuild it.

  We contacted the ‘future’ company in the inner city, they can provide the design work for the entire phantom world, and this only requires 10% of the budget..."

  The three Lin Tuo couldn't listen to the words at all. Several people looked at each other. At this moment, they could see two words from each other's eyes: soil turtle.

  Yes, Lin Tuo feels like a turtle.

  Look at others.

  Any proposal is to flatten and rebuild a city...

  "Will it be wasteful?" Huaxi held back for a long time, whispering.

   Ai Ai glanced at her suspiciously: "Waste? How could it happen? This obviously provides a new job."

  "……"

  Okay, not on the same channel.

  Lin Tuo pulled down to Huaxi with a smile. He was about to knock on the side and ask something. Suddenly, he heard a burst of warm cheers in front of him!

   "Ah ah ah, Hui Ye! It's Hui Ye!"

  Several people looked at them suddenly and found that they had walked to a stage without knowing it.

  On the stage surrounded by pool fountains, lights and fog, a tall girl in shiny clothes walked out, seeming to be a certain star.

   shook a whip in his hand with a "pop":

  "Are you ready to receive my flogging?"

  Below, a large group of fans dressed up as young men holding a support sign became choked with excitement, tears streaming down their faces.

   "Ready!!"

   "Ah this..." Lin Tuo opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

Ai Ai beside    also smiled awkwardly and explained: "Comrades are too enthusiastic."

  No... they didn't come to your proposal at all...

  Lin Tuo thought. Suddenly, the whole person was stunned, staring at the crowd and stopped moving.

   "Old..." Huaxi blinked and went to Lalintuo, but only listened to the latter's words: "Don't move!"

  Under the flickering stage lights, Lin Tuo stared at a fat figure on the periphery of the stage, holding a fan card, and the lights illuminated the person's profile.

  Lin Tuo was shocked!

  This person... is exactly the same as the pilot who was killed by him on Search Ship 404! ! !
