Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1074

"The results of our policy [which favors too many educational resources for school-age students] urgently need to be protected - this is the conclusion we concluded after careful discussion."

Families with school-age students receive subsidies from us:
Adequate supply of meat, eggs and milk for three meals a day; immunity from power restrictions within a certain range; clothing subsidies for extremely cold environments; priority to experience practical activities and the working environment of the neighborhood...

In the face of these subsidy policies, the provision that "adapted children and young people have the obligation to attend compulsory education" is nothing at all.

The problem is not the orders themselves, the problem is that all these orders are implemented on a family basis.

The children may be innocent or have no bad intentions, but the same cannot be said for the parents. Most of the young parents in the Mechanical Hive have never gone to school and have no moral standards. Their behavior that exceeds your moral standards may be You can't imagine it at all.

I'll just mention one of them here:
A considerable number of people have begun to protest, thinking that the treatment of children is too good. Even if these people have nothing, even if they receive our two meals a day, they are not satisfied at all.

They believed that the children were treated too well and their treatment was too poor. They even surrounded our investigation team and wanted to force us to make some commitment.

Fortunately, the passing mobile unit members helped us and we were able to escape without being forced to sign and fingerprint some ridiculous contract.

The policies we have decided and implemented have already led to some serious consequences that are beginning to occur. One of them is that some young people have regarded having children as a means of obtaining resources. They think that as long as they have children, they will be able to Received subsidies from the Mechanical Hive——

This is obviously impossible. The subsidy is only for children and has little benefit to adults. If they have children just for that little bit of electricity, then there is nothing we can say, because subsidized electricity is too easy to obtain.

——They obviously don’t think so.

They believe that as long as they give birth to a child, the child will be able to provide them with three nutritious meals a day and food subsidies - and they keep the materials subsidized to the child as their own!

They even view having children as an investment - they want food from their children!

We cannot distribute food to each child in a fixed amount, because the children must be taken care of by their guardians, and we cannot force the children to eat up all the subsidized food in front of us, because we simply do not have the sufficient human resources to do so. this matter.

Sir, please listen to me. Even if we now provide subsidies on a family basis, the manpower we can use is still very limited. As long as one staff member has a problem, an entire neighborhood will be left unattended.

And we must supervise the staff, because according to the current food shortage and some other actual situations, the staff and the adults in the families receiving subsidies have reached some kind of contract and are colluding, resulting in the subsidies not reaching the children, and even The child has no idea that his subsidy is being paid out - this has already happened!
You must know how terrible these things are. We have discussed this issue fiercely at the beginning. I am grateful that you are a kind person, so I can use true enough words in the envelope sent to you.

[Treat raising children as an investment] and other related chaos are happening and getting worse, and there are even faint signs of forming some kind of industrial chain. Another thing I want you to know is——

You must know the situation before the Mechanical Hive. Most of the new immigrants were poor, had no money and no power, and were even unworthy of having hobbies because of poverty.

Everyone has the ability to reproduce, so there are quite a few single-parent families in the island chain, and a considerable number of children from these single-parent families are sent to orphanages because of their irresponsible parents.

The incident that prompted me to write this email was that last night, when we were doing a detailed survey of young school-age students in the neighborhood, we accidentally discovered an underground welfare home. This underground welfare home was once engaged in the business of buying and selling teenagers and children. Before we found it, there were only 8 children left there.

We found their roster and there were over 100 names on it.

Those children who are no longer in the orphanage are naturally bought to "form" families and then defrauded of subsidies.

With all due respect, Your Excellency, the fate of these children is pretty good. The fate of the children who were bought and sold before was much worse than theirs. The gangs you sanctioned are the culprits. It would not be a pity for them to die ten thousand times.

——This underground welfare home was only discovered by us.

How many more have we not discovered?

We are not from the security department and have no way of knowing the answer to this question.

This is really frightening. Your Excellency, so many children have been involved in malicious transactions because of our well-intentioned policies. This is really a situation that we did not expect at all when we met to formulate policies.

In response to these situations, here are some suggestions:

First, we need more manpower to carry out acts of violence that “really deliver justice.”

Targeting gangs - these things are like cancer in the mechanical hive. As long as one cell does not die, it will spread to every corner of the mechanical hive. And similar things are not just gangs, they are destructive to the implementation of our policies. is fatal;
Second, we need to change the situation of subsidizing families as a unit, invest more abundant and high-quality manpower to conduct social work investigations, and at the same time provide ideological education to these workers-they must be a group of people with noble moral character.

Third, in response to the second point, I put forward a suggestion to avoid all the chaos today - to solve the problem fundamentally - we can let students live on campus and conduct unified management of students. Our school has a large enough campus and is completely Can accommodate students for accommodation.

Fourth, I have seen the list of compulsory books you wrote for schools. Although some of them are too radical for children, we have no better choice now. The rapid development of the empire has made the sociology and moral education of the empire a mess. Now with these sociology books in the book list, we at least have a direction for educating children. Students will not learn everything, but if they are upright, a lot of social pressure will be alleviated.

We have made all preparations. The new semester of compulsory schools from primary school to high school will start tomorrow. I hope everything goes well. 》

After Chen Yan read the email, she already knew what was going on. She responded to the email and promised to resolve the chaos mentioned in the email as soon as possible.

Although there are still more than 50 people in the Mechanical Hive, most of them are low-end labor force with low education level. Due to several previous disasters, there are only a handful of intellectuals who have stayed in the Mechanical Hive and can get on the stage.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's special ability found them out of the crowd, and used various methods including but not limited to confiding in his heart, promising benefits, and kneeling down to plead, etc., to recruit them into the company, and finally formed a simple team. The Caotai team can now handle the government affairs of the mechanical hive.

Every human resource in the company is valuable, and we must maximize the value of each person.

——Chen Yan is very aware of this objective fact, and also realizes another point from the email in front of her:
The company's manpower is still not enough. She knows the company's current operating situation best. Considering the work pressure of company members who have contact with various departments of the former logistics center and maintain operations, except for them, the company is almost completely unavailable. situation.

Therefore, the problem in this email cannot be solved by the current company.

If you want to solve the problem, you must continue to recruit people.

Chen Yan sent an email to Koschilanfur Krapeter to explain the situation, draft a plan and entrust him with the recruitment. At this time, open recruitment to the public can easily attract insiders, so it is more reliable to recruit through the recommendation of current staff in the company. ——Xiao Ke must understand these truths.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used to do things. Chen Yan and Chen Yan, as well as those in the company who have the power to allocate certain resources of the Mechanical Hive, all understand this truth.

Now that Chen Yan was leaving temporarily, Chen Yan still had a lot of work to do today. She opened the emails, carefully browsed them one by one and responded to them - this was the power that Chen Yan had given her long ago.

Another busy day has begun. …

……

a moment ago.

When Chen Yan left the third floor of Z Group, although he was tired, he was very clear-headed, so he went to the basement - which is now used as a dormitory for Z Group staff - he found a door and knocked twice. Down.

He waited for a long time, but there was still no response from the door, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the door opened.

He turned around and saw the red-haired Marina, wearing a group uniform, standing behind the door looking at him.

Even after experiencing the apocalypse, she did not look more haggard than before, but instead looked full of vitality.

Chen Yan felt uneasy with such energy.

"I wanted to see how you were doing."

Just three months have passed, and the atmosphere between the two has been filled with the passage of time.

"She's fine."

Marina answered like this. She knew that Chen Yan was not greeting or caring about her. She was once confused where this feeling came from, and she still hasn't figured out the reason until now.

Maybe it's just motherly intuition.

Chen Yan looked into Marlena's eyes. Now he could look directly into and digest the vague hostility in those beautiful pupils:

"If she has any special circumstances, we can provide treatment." Chen Yanzhi said: "I heard that the doctor who examined her said that she had been asleep for a long time, which is obviously abnormal."

Marlena was obviously confused by this, but she somehow maintained a very strong attitude in front of Chen Yan:

"I know there is something wrong with her, and I will cooperate with the doctor's treatment, but according to the test results, she is in good health."

Malina told the doctor’s examination results:
"All the physical examination values ​​are normal, and the blood tests, whole-body ultrasound examination and brain MRI show no problems at all, but she just keeps falling asleep. I hope she can get help."

Keep falling asleep...

The first thought that came to Chen Yan's head was a bit absurd, it turned out to be [Is the Messiah trapped in a nightmare and unable to come out? 】

The reason why he had this idea was that he often fell into dreams and was exhausted physically and mentally because of everything that happened in his dreams.

If the Messiah falls into a nightmare and cannot extricate herself, Chen Yan really has a way to help her - [Lucid Dreaming 3.0]. Chen Yan can enter the Messiah's dream through the software, help her solve the fear in the nightmare, and let her recover from the nightmare. Waking up from a nightmare.

but not now.

He had to check the controllable fusion reactor located on the other side of the first island chain. That thing was regarded by him as the best hope for the future of the mechanical hive, and repairing the reactor was a priority above everything else.

"I'll find a way to help her."

Chen Yan made such a promise, then said goodbye to her, then went to the other side of the corridor and knocked on another door.

The person who opened the door was Ned Roddy. The seriously injured former night school principal of Yanan City seemed to be recovering well. Apart from his face still looking a little weak, he was already able to walk and take care of himself.

This was the first time Ned Roddy saw Chen Yan after he woke up. He had a lot to say to Chen Yan, and he needed to share with Chen Yan many of the things that had come to his mind while bored in the basement these days.

He thought about how he would talk eloquently after meeting Chen Yan, but when he actually faced Chen Yan, those words he had prepared could not be uttered at all.

Thousands of words were blended into the clenched palms. Ned Roddy held Chen Yan's hand tightly, with extremely complicated emotions in his smile:
"Finally we meet! Mr. [Jack Baldo]! You have lied to me for so long, you should make up for it!"

He emphasized the pronunciation of the name [Jack Baldo], obviously he already knew Chen Yan's real name.

Chen Yan also shook his hands excitedly. He had been communicating with Ned Roddy through text messages and emails before. The collision of ideas was very intense, and there were countless ideas. Now that he actually saw him, it was impossible not to be excited. of.

It's a pity that he has important things to do right now, so he can't have an in-depth communication with him about the current situation of the mechanical hive.

"I have something very important and I need to go out."

Chen Yan whispered:
"Maybe it will make everything better, but not necessarily. Who knows. Anyway, if you don't work hard, you won't know the result."

Ned Roddy knew from his tone the importance of the "thing" he meant, so he didn't ask any more questions:
"No matter what, please come back alive, I'm waiting for you!"

What a joyful attitude and spirit.

Chen Yan said goodbye to Ned Roddy, and a few minutes later arrived at the end of the mechanical plank road of the Mechanical Hive, in front of the closed steel gate of Sunset Boulevard.

His investigation and scientific research engineering team is already waiting here.

　PS: I forgot whether I have said it before. Some of the names of some people with names in the article correspond to real-life prototypes. For example, Kosciusz Ramfo Clapeter, whose real-life prototype is Francesco Petrarch, a famous Renaissance man. Father; for example, Ned Roddy, whose prototype was Denis Diderot, a thinker and philosopher during the Enlightenment; for example, Tintan Rieggi, the principal of the Mechanical Hive Compulsory School who has never had a role and is in a state of semi-trance. Alli, whose prototype was Dante Alighieri, was also one of the pioneering figures of the Renaissance.The reason why so many people are needed to run the compulsory school is that firstly, the people the protagonist meets are random and may not necessarily meet professional educators. Secondly, because I personally think that although they are not educators, they are better than ordinary educators. More professional, thirdly, because they are almost the same people who appeared in the era of the protagonist's world, and fourthly, the most important point is that they are knowledgeable enough to shoulder such a responsibility.In addition, I want my readers to know that both the ideological enlightenment and the Renaissance are products produced in response to the needs of emerging assets JJ and serve emerging assets JJ (personally, I think they are interpreting scriptures for emerging assets JJ ) (can’t say too much), in those days it had almost nothing to do with the working people.
