Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1719 Grand Avenue

After receiving this order, Qian Jingge also gave orders to his conscripts, asking them to hide themselves more deeply and ensure that information about the space-time officers and their own identities would not be exposed.

While the reincarnations were busy with their own group battles, he was also busy, but in a different direction.

In a relatively remote area not so coastal, he chose a storage site for electronic ghost thought containers as his base.

The brains of these electronic ghosts are often not stored in the city center. Cities in coastal areas are almost connected, and the so-called suburbs only exist in inland areas. Land inside cities is extremely valuable, and accommodating these brains does not require space too close to the city, and maintaining the operation of these brains does not require much manpower. Therefore, these facilities are placed in the suburbs, which in turn makes it easier to deploy bases at the locations of these brain storage bases.

The base has been established here for many years now. The technology has undergone many upgrades. Although it is still far below the world level, it has certain commercial value in some fields where the technical requirements are not so high.

For example, the mechanical processing industry is actually a sunset industry in this world. The mechanical equipment in this world has been in a state of oversupply for many years. There is not much demand for it at present, because the industrial system is already in a state of stagnation. Apart from the regular annual losses, it does not require much additional supplementation.

The biggest reason why the base can occupy a place in this field after its development is that in this field, it can obtain a considerable degree of cost advantage after excluding the participation of cultivators.

Originally, the mechanical processing industry was limited by precision issues, and many positions required the participation of cultivators, which increased the price of mechanical equipment. However, the development in recent years has allowed Qian Jingge to successfully climb the technology tree to the point where precision processing can be completed without relying on cultivators. Although the initial investment cost is a bit high, after the subsequent factory is up and running, there will be an increasingly obvious cost advantage compared to peers who require the involvement of cultivators.

It was thanks to the economic benefits brought by the factory in recent years and its huge intelligence network that he was able to squeeze from the bottom of society into the outermost circle of the ruling class.

However, compared with the regional governor, his own status and position is still just that of a small follower. He is the kind of supplier who needs to bow and nod when he sees the regional governor.

It is just an insignificant little guy, but he is doing something that will shock the whole world in the future.

That is the large-scale development of inland areas.

For most of the world, developing inland areas is a thankless task.

In terms of transportation, coastal areas will always be more convenient than inland areas. The cost of sea transportation is not comparable to that of land transportation. If there is a slight difference in the cost of building such things, the gap will become larger and larger. Eventually, cities will only spread in coastal areas. Only when the country has enough determination and has enough idealists willing to devote their youth can it develop relatively remote inland areas. Otherwise, these areas will always retain the so-called magnificent natural scenery.

People are only willing to live in coastal areas with better infrastructure, higher incomes and more opportunities.

But now the times are quietly changing, but no one has noticed it yet.

The starting point of this shift came from the Nirvana Project led by the little-known company Nirvana Group.

Nirvana Group was naturally a group established by Air Force officers, and this group purchased a large number of electronic ghosts at the beginning of its establishment. The prices of these electronic ghosts in the market were not low, but they were definitely not particularly high. After making the first pot of gold by relying on the production of mechanical equipment processing, a sunset industry, the group still had enough financial resources to acquire a large number of electronic ghosts.

In today's market, the best way to utilize these electronic ghosts is to let them play the role of NPCs in various games or serve as artificial intelligence in other industries.

In particular, some people with connections in the government can take advantage of the eloquence of these electronic ghosts and engage in special industries similar to telecommunications fraud that exploit human weaknesses and make huge profits in a short period of time.

However, Nirvana Group has chosen a path that seems extremely thankless, which is to use these electronic ghosts for inland development.

It is basically impossible for people in the real world to be mobilized to develop these remote areas. Living in the city, even in the downtown area, people can enjoy convenient electricity, public tap water networks, order takeout, and do not need to worry about problems such as mosquito bites.

Although they live like grandsons compared to the real upper class, survival is essentially easy and there is plenty of entertainment.

But if they were to enter inland areas for development, not to mention that the living conditions would be extremely difficult, the lack of internet alone would almost drive these people crazy.

It is difficult for people who have never engaged in land reclamation to understand how difficult it is for a group of people to survive on a piece of land with nothing and build their own city. The hardships involved are unimaginable and unbearable for most people living in cities.

Qian Jingge had previously tried to recruit real people to carry out inland development, but all the attempts ended in failure. Almost all the recruits ran away within less than a month. The relatively difficult living conditions were simply unbearable for them. Even if they were offered higher salaries, few people were willing to come.

But electronic ghosts are different. On the one hand, they lack physical bodies and no longer have much to enjoy in their bodies. On the other hand, they are truly penniless now. If they sign an agreement and participate in the process of inland development, they can at least have a mechanical body after working for a period of time. Although the mechanical partitions they use are not even humanoid, but engineering machinery with two tracks and six mechanical arms, this at least means that they once again have the freedom to interfere with reality.

After they are purchased, their brains will be inserted into the control center of these engineering machines, which are also specially designed for the development of desolate inland areas. The tracks allow them to adapt to most terrains. If they encounter some terrains that are too steep for the tracks to handle, the six robotic arms can cooperate with the tracks to allow them to climb on the steep terrain like insects.

Normally, it uses tracks to move forward to reduce mechanical wear and tear, and uses the robotic arm only when necessary to overcome obstacles that are difficult to overcome under normal circumstances. This design can minimize the failure rate of the machine. However, how to judge when to use which tool and how to work in a complex natural environment are beyond the scope of what general artificial intelligence can accomplish.

Artificial intelligence that can accomplish such a difficult task often requires a huge server, which can only be configured after a considerable level of infrastructure is in place.

The most difficult land reclamation, road construction and laying of various pipelines must be completed by these electronic ghosts themselves.

Under normal circumstances, it is still unrealistic to buy electronic ghosts and let them do these jobs, because most electronic ghosts are actually in a state of half-crazy.

In the electronic world, they played a variety of different roles. After being deleted and modified many times, the memories in their brains had become seriously logically confused.

Beings like this would be like lunatics even if they had mechanical bodies in reality, and the majority of electronic ghosts that can be purchased on the Internet are undoubtedly of this type.

People like Shi Qianyue have gone through many tests in the online world and proved their noble character.

The prices at which they are sold are extremely high and it is impossible to use them for such thankless tasks as developing inland areas.

Even a considerable number of electronic ghosts are unwilling to choose this path to redemption, because this path to redemption is too difficult. It is better to live like a ghost in the electronic world like now. At least they can get the pleasant feeling of system rewards and enjoy it after completing each task.

Because of this, all sectors of society are not optimistic about the development of inland areas, but they overlook one point, that is, Qian Jingge is selective in purchasing these electronic ghosts.

Other people in this world have no idea that he has a huge intelligence network in the cyber world, nor do they know that his intelligence network actually has certain capabilities beyond the system framework.

Under the efforts of the electronic ghosts who were the backbone of the conscripts, those electronic ghosts who still had a strong desire to survive were quietly marked by them. These electronic ghosts who still had the will to redeem themselves, with marks on their bodies, would be selected by artificial intelligence first for purchase during the selection process. However, these electronic ghosts with a relatively strong will to survive may not understand the rules of the system. They may not be able to obtain a relatively high status in the system, and their value in the system's evaluation may not be high.

In order to ensure that their first phase of investment would yield some results and to set a good example for the electronic ghosts that would join them later, Nirvana Group selected the electronic ghosts with the strongest desire to survive in the first batch. They all had a strong desire to become human again and live another life. Therefore, after obtaining mechanical bodies, they showed an unexpected enthusiasm for production, and showed unexpected subjective initiative in the process of production and work.

In some ways, their subjective initiative is even higher than that of most living people. For this reason, inland areas are being built at an unknown speed.

Every time a certain amount of work is completed, the electronic ghosts will receive a certain amount of points as a reward.

According to their habits, two-thirds of these points are allowed to be exchanged for time of enjoyment, that is, just like the system, they can feel intense pleasure directly by injecting chemicals or stimulating nerves. The remaining part is not allowed to be exchanged, and can only be used to exchange for items in the real world, such as upgrading their own mechanical bodies, or accumulating huge points and eventually exchanging them for a clone body and completely obtaining the identity of a natural person.

This is actually similar to drug addiction. You can't expect a person to quit drugs completely immediately, either psychologically or physically. This is impossible. This can only be done step by step. In addition to physical relief, psychological guidance is also needed to make life in the real world more fulfilling. Only then can these electronic ghosts whose brain nerves have been damaged to a considerable extent by chemicals and electrical stimulation be helped to successfully get rid of their dependence on certain chemicals and electrical stimulation.

In addition to exchanging their points for real-world items and personal identities, they can also be exchanged for therapeutic surgeries to restore their brain nerves. This also uses induced pluripotent stem cell technology to clone their somatic cells and induce them to differentiate into nerve cells again to repair the damaged brain nerves.

The corresponding repair cost is actually very high, far exceeding the value created by their labor, but Nirvana Group still gritted its teeth and provided this service in order to give these people a chance to achieve Nirvana.

Even so, there are very few people who choose to spend a lot of points to redeem. Most people still choose to use about half of their points to redeem various enjoyments in the virtual world, but this data is gradually improving as their real life becomes more fulfilling and as they communicate with each other in the real world using mechanical bodies.

  There are actually a lot of Qian Jingge's small accounts mixed in here. These small accounts also control mechanical bodies and mingle among these people. In the intervals between work, they chat with the real electronic ghosts about the future and their own plans. They talk about what they will do if they can restore their natural human identities in the future, and imagine what kind of experience they will have after restoring their natural human bodies.

It is precisely because these people once had a natural human body that they can empathize with this desire. What Qian Jingge did is a bit similar to when many instant messaging software was first born. In order to make the chat group more lively, the creator would personally create some female accounts and run to the group to chat with group members to liven up the atmosphere of the group. It can only be said that anyone will go through such a difficult process in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and Qian Jingge is about to take this most difficult first step.
