Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 34: artificial opposition

Although the food factory is fully automatic, it is not completely dark inside.

Whether it is a robot for maintenance or a camera for monitoring production status, it needs sufficient light source-just as in the case of insufficient brightness, the error rate of AI image recognition will be much higher.

Because of this, the barber pushed up the night vision goggles after entering the factory area.

The squinting blue-haired youth looked around with interest.

The three-dimensional assembly line was still roaring and running, and no one touched it.

They walked through the gap between steel and steel, just like scholars walking among the bookshelves of the library.

Regardless of the upper or lower urban areas, everyone's food is basically synthesized, produced, and packaged in these food factories. Because there are self-guarding robots patrolling and inspecting, as long as the production is not damaged to trigger an alarm...then even if the lights are bright here, it is still the safest place.

Salary slaves in Uptown also need to use their income to buy food. But these uncoded people live in the cracks of these huge factories. If they are hungry, they can just come in and take some food-this will not trigger the alarm. The camera on the assembly line can detect the missing part immediately, and fill in the vacant part in the first time.

Not even the most vicious thugs will destroy these factories. Because everyone knows that life is not easy, everyone will treat them as their own property... destroying them is tantamount to making life difficult for everyone.

If you are hunted down, you will not continue to chase after entering the factory. If you continue to chase, the machine may be destroyed—it is a trivial matter to attract the executive department, and you will definitely be punished by the boss when you go back.

So you can see a very contradictory scene.

Those uncoded people who looked very rough and savage walked through the machine cautiously and even on tiptoe. I was worried that I accidentally broke something.

"This is the 'life' they cherish."

Seeing the barber looking at them intently, the discordant sighed: "Every day is between life and death, only these delicious and self-serving food can give them a strong 'feeling of being alive'."

"And the strict commandments of various gangs belong to their 'death', right?"

The barber glanced at the young elves, and said unceremoniously: "But they live so hard, isn't it because of you elves?"

"Not always."

The corners of the mouths of the discordants raised slightly.

The child, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, said in a very mature tone: "Is there only elves among the directors? Aren't short-lived directors also directors? Since they are all directors, it is better to live longer. What's the difference if it's shorter?

"What's more...Including them, including you. Most of the people here are scum. No one wants them. They were kicked out. They killed people. They committed crimes. Or they paid their parents' sins and debts.

"If it is said that you are living very hard, what about those people on the ground?

"Do you want to make you live happily, and make those who follow the rules, neither lie nor hurt others, or even cause trouble for others, unhappy?"

"The real question," said the barber, narrowing his eyes, his voice mild but sharp, "isn't 'Why is there always one unfortunate?'"

Hearing this, Discordant Tovatus raised his head in surprise, and gave the barber a slight sideways glance.

"...Unexpectedly. You are actually an advocate of the coexistence school."

The young elf sighed.

Most uncoded people have a strong hostility towards the entire Uptown area.

Contemptuous names such as "salary slave" and "company dog" are also the derivation of this feeling-this is mainly because they subconsciously regard those workers who make a living in the company as "the company's property". For part of the company.

"Uptown fears and loathes the people of Downtown, and Downtown hates and envies the people of Uptown..."

The barber sighed slowly: "The lower city has only been born less than fifty years ago, and the hatred between each other has reached this level. It's hard to say that there are no elves like you who are behind the scenes."

"Then why am I doing this?"

"It's very simple. Divide the crowd and set the main contradiction as each other."

The barber put his hands in his pockets, didn't even look at the discordant, just walked forward like this, and said leisurely: "I've heard people say that the arrest of criminals in the upper city is not so much a matter of 'not caring. ', it would be better to say 'deliberately let go'.

"So, what if it was really let go on purpose...?"

Hearing this, Paradise Bird, who had been walking behind the barber with his head down, was also taken aback for a moment, then raised his head to look at the back of the barber in front of him.

"…Oh."

After hearing this, Tovatus finally raised his head completely and looked at the barber with interest: "Continue talking?"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Without turning his head, the barber squinted his eyes and said softly: "Could it be that the birth of the downtown area itself is the plan of the 'company'?

"There is no supervision of the criminals at all, let them go and let them flood into the downtown area. But then the enforcement department was dispatched, and their extermination operations were so weak. Those company dogs patrol almost every day, but they can pull such Many people made a big noise, unless those organizations deliberately seek trouble, want to be famous, and want to take revenge, and take the initiative to meet them, if you really want to catch little mice, how many did they catch?"

This topic made Paradise Bird's pupils shrink slightly.

She suddenly realized that she had never thought about such a thing before.

If the company really wants to catch these uncoded people... can't they really do it?

Paradise Bird is not stupid, she immediately reacted—

And the blue-haired young man continued: "The company doesn't want to wipe out the Lower City. They hope that the Lower City will always exist, and it will always be a serious problem for the residents of the Upper City.

"Because at the end of the day, as uncoded, we can't do anything. Without chips, we can't participate in the highest level of production research, and we can't use advanced weapons... These factories in the lower city are completely unmanned. And even if the company is destroyed, it can be easily rebuilt.

"Even if it can cause chaos, it's just chaos. On the other hand, the more chaotic the lower city is, the more the wage slaves in the upper city are afraid of becoming uncoded. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com In this fear And disgusted, they began to restrain themselves. Although there is nothing mandatory in the company law, the idea of ​​'not wanting to be uncoded' itself has become the strongest shackles.

"As far as I know, there wasn't such a big backlash against uncoded people a few decades ago. Back then, downtown was just a black market, and there were even people who voluntarily became uncoded and lived in downtown without committing a crime, just to Not monitored by the company. It was after the establishment of the lower city...After the uncoded people gathered in the lower city, the communication between the two sides began to decrease greatly. The few remaining "contacts" are usually related to criminal activities.

"As a result, people began to spontaneously resist uncoded people. No matter how big or small the crime is, as long as you give up the chip and become uncoded, you will be expelled from your circle immediately-and uncoded people also regard 'removing the chip' as an old Proof of a clean break in life..."

Having said that, the barber turned his head and looked at Torvatus.

The blue-haired young man seems to be asking the elves, but also seems to be asking himself: "But, whether there is a chip or not, what is the difference from the perspective of ordinary people?

"Since when has it been accepted that ... not having a chip is a sin?

"If everyone does it. Who will benefit in the end?"

The barber murmured.

In order to distinguish himself from the "Blue Robin", Russell is playing a cynical, free-spirited wise man wholeheartedly.

But as he spoke, in the fictitious words... there was a little more sincerity unconsciously. <pstyle="text-align:center;"> Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free to read!
