Chapter 46 The sandstorm is coming.
On this night, Zhang Cishun realized that this city was even more deformed than he had ever known. The masters of power are in the inner city, while the masters of knowledge are in the think tanks.
The inner cities partially decentralized their power for better governance.
Think tanks divide and disseminate knowledge in order to have more 'senior workers'.
They set the rules of 'replacement' so that the 'knowledge' spread could flow partially without becoming a pool of stagnant water. But if you want to go further... there is little hope.
All the most cutting-edge and top-notch technologies are in the think tank, which is something that only think tank researchers can enjoy.
In their eyes, researchers other than think tanks are no different from these workers in the Zhongcheng factory.
It’s just that factory workers stand in front of the assembly line, and senior scientific research workers stand in front of the test bench.
The former produces established products, while the latter produces results within the framework.
For think tanks, almost all outputs are predictable.
Zuo Ling... is an exception.
When the sun came up, Zuo Yan said to him:
"The greatest tragedy in the development of science is that the more advanced the technology, the stronger the rule of the inner city, because you will find that even if all the people's strength is gathered, they cannot see The dawn of victory."
"The people in the lower city have poor knowledge and weapons, and the middle city is numb and tired. The people in the upper city have weapons and energy, but... they stand with the inner city." Zhang Cishun asked her:
" Did your brother tell you this conclusion?"
But Zuo Yan shook his head and said seriously: "I concluded it. Because at a certain time, I really wanted to overthrow this city, but I found that it was impossible to do it. The most intuitive manifestation of the gap at the technological level is the gap at the armed level... But the most ridiculous thing is that the people in the lower city who should resist the most have never seen a real thermal weapon." But... is there really no way
?
some.
It’s just that Zuo Yan doesn’t want to use it.
By noon, the wind stopped.
But this was not a good thing, because Zhang Cishun could clearly see that the sky far to the north of the city was completely dark.
It's in sharp contrast to the bright sunshine here. It was a sweeping sandstorm, covering the sky and swallowing the earth, and the entire north was shrouded in its haze. Even the city's walls can't stop city residents from catching its traces.
The piercing sirens continued, and Zhang Cishun saw many more people on the streets of Zhongcheng District. They walked hurriedly from their resting home towards the factory.
They will spend the next period of time in the factory. It's not that the house can't stop the sandstorm, but the factory can't stop production.
"We have to go." Zuo Yan said.
Zhang Cishun wasted another morning studying the knowledge Zuo Yan brought back, but he felt it was worth it. Because this knowledge brought him a new career and some new skills.
"General Skills: Creatures: lv4 (177/10w)"
Creatures at lv4 are not so much learning, but rather memories that were once forgotten and abandoned and were picked up again with Zhang Cishun's learning.
The dusty memories bloomed again with wiping.
"Researcher/Engineer - Biochemical Engineering: lv2; Cell Engineering: lv2; Genetic Engineering: lv2; General Microbiology: lv2; Bioinformatics: lv2; Biotechnology Pharmaceutical: lv2; Bioseparation Engineering: lv2; Protein Engineering: lv2; Integrated biomedicine: lv2; Artificial Neural Network: lv2; Biological Neural Network: lv2;" There are
eleven skills in total. Because the knowledge in the tablet brought back by Zuo Yan is systematic, there is no need to experience traditional Chinese medicine in the scavenger profession. The distinction between elementary, middle and high is directly the complete body.
However, Zhang Cishun could only upgrade this knowledge to level 2 for the time being. If he wanted to improve it again, he would need to spend time doing in-depth reading.
But there is obviously no time now.
But there is definitely no problem in simply dealing with it.
Zhang Cishun tightened his clothes, and the three of them began to walk up against the crowd.
When they arrived at the Wilderness Army's garrison area, the three of them separated. Zhang Cishun carried the box and identity card and began to deal with the inspection by the Wilderness Army, while Zuo Yan and Jing Shuo returned to the upper city area in the same way they left the upper city area before.
"You've exceeded your time limit, what's going on?" Holding 'Ning Jiancheng's' ID card, the Wilderness Army in charge of verification asked him.
"I was busy handing over the work at hand, so I wasted a little time. In fact, it wasn't much more, just half a day." Zhang Cishun said with a smile, pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking gentle and elegant overall.
The wilderness soldier nodded: "Okay, I won't record it for you now. When you arrive at the research institute, don't forget to ask your research institute to send us a new access notice." Zhang Cishun took the handover from the other party
. I got the ID card back and responded.
"You know the way, we won't send you in. Today, we have to make some preparations in advance." said the Wilderness Army.
Zhang Cishun expressed his understanding. Anyway, there are no forks in the avenue. If you keep walking along the avenue, you will reach Shangcheng District.
However, just as he was about to continue walking in, a voice from behind stopped him.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you wait a minute."
Zhang Cishun turned around, but happened to see the other party taking off the equipment he was wearing.
"???"
He didn't know why, so he said nothing.
"I guess the sandstorm will arrive before you arrive at the institute. Put this on, don't ruin your delicate skin and tender flesh." "Don't mind it,
I just put it on too, my hair is new. "."
The equipment that the Wilderness Army took off was just something similar to a backpack in the previous life. It was not too close-fitting. The material on the outside was soft and the surface had a coating similar to a honeycomb structure. There is a ring-shaped transparent substance on the central chest, and countless particle streams can be seen rotating rapidly in it.
"This thing can generate a force field. Things that move at high speed cannot pass through this force field. I don't know the specific principle anyway." The
Wilderness Army said as he handed the equipment to Zhang Cishun, but he was probably afraid that he wouldn't want it. Or if you don’t know how to wear it, you simply take it back and put it on Zhang Cishun yourself.
This time Zhang Cishun couldn't handle it at all.
For a moment, he couldn't think of what to say at this time. After thinking about it, he said with a little weird meaning: "Are you... a weird person?" "Hey, it's nothing! It's over, we won't send it
away You."
Zhang Cishun left.
The Wilderness Army looked at his back and grinned. The colleague next to him glanced sideways at him: "You're stupid? What do you use if you give this equipment to others? Be careful if the captain finds out and skins you off."
However, the wilderness soldier snorted and sneered: "You know nothing, and you don't know how to use it." Don’t look at the identity information of that person just now! The GP medicine we are using now was made by his team."
"This transfer to the Shangcheng District Research Institute is considered a promotion? I guess I have come up with something good again." "Let
me tell you, I have established a good relationship with them in advance. If there is really something good, I have to let him know. The other party can think of us first!"
"But you didn't tell them which formation you were in?"
"You're stupid! I didn't tell them, but there are numbers on the equipment! They are not blind!" After a pause
, I was completely speechless and gave him a thumbs up.
...
The equipment of the Wilderness Army does not feel heavy when worn on the body. On the contrary, it is extremely light and does not affect Zhang Cishun's actions at all. It just didn't match the clothes he was wearing and was too conspicuous, so many wilderness soldiers looked at him along the way.
Zhang Cishun couldn't help but speed up under the baptism of this gaze.
However, just as he was about to walk out of the garrison area, a heavily armed combat team came towards him.
This is a team with a completely different style from the Wilderness Army. If I had to use one word to describe the style of this team, it would probably only have a sense of science fiction.
Zhang Cishun silently moved out of the way, and then watched them go away.
"Think tank troops..." Zhang Cishun thought to himself. The logo DRS (Dynamic Response Team) and the think tank icon behind the opponent clearly showed their identities.
"Are you going to Zhongcheng District?"
A look of thought flashed through his eyes.
