Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 364: Council of Knowledge

"Good morning, Anning City."

"Smile? Yes, audience in front of the screen, I know my smile may be a little exaggerated, but please allow me to be so exaggerated. At this moment, I am filled with excitement and officially announce to you a piece of good news that I just received."

"Just yesterday, a research team led by a scholar from Wencheng University officially made a breakthrough in the topic of 'electron pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductors'. Perhaps in the near future, the root of the superconductivity phenomenon, the mystery of the quantum rigidity of the electron wave function, will be revealed to us at a glance -"

A giant holographic projection screen hung on the side wall of the silver-white building. The host on the screen was smiling and reading out the news bulletin for the new day.

“All for the future.”

At the street bus stop, people who were waiting for the bus were staring at the giant screen. When they heard the words "breakthrough", many of them couldn't help cheering.

Ding--

At half past six, the bus arrived on time.

So, those who were waiting quickly got on the bus and went to their workstations while whispering to each other excitedly.

".They all come from workshops."

Far away from the bus stop, next to a landscape potted plant, Song Shi gave his conclusion.

In the counties governed by the Council of Knowledge, everyone will undergo a lengthy screening process from the time they can speak, which will last until they reach adulthood, when the final results will be revealed.

Those with talent enter "universities" to receive higher education and become researchers.

Those without talent will be sent to the "workshop". After professional technical training, they will be placed in the most suitable positions based on the results of professional assessment. From then on, they will work diligently all their lives just to support their superiors.

"Because of the vehicle?" Ai Lu, wearing a baseball cap, stood nearby with a deliberately relaxed posture.

"Yes, we have almost abandoned the currency equivalent system here and replaced it with a unified distribution of resource quotas."

Song Shi affirmed: "These are ordinary workers from the 'workshop'. Their resource quotas and purchasing rights are not enough to buy private vehicles such as cars and shuttles. Senior technical workers are an exception, but they are a minority after all."

"Normally, those who are eligible and have the quota to exchange for private vehicles are researchers from 'university'. They won't take the bus, which is too inefficient."

“Let me think, what did they say?”

Song Shi pondered for a moment and made a gesture: "——'A minute of waste is also shameful'."

After the conversation, the two suddenly stopped talking for a while and just browsed the street view silently.

The first impression this city gives people is "simple" and "neat", with silver-white buildings standing tall, wide streets, and straight billboards. Looking around, there is not the slightest sign of corporate alliances, or the endless neon lights that are almost like light pollution.

But this does not mean that this place is backward.

in contrast.

Song Shi could clearly see that patrol drones were steadily shuttling through the streets and alleys, ready to deal with any situation at any time.

The ring-shaped skyrail runs through the city like a giant steel snake in an extremely shocking manner, with vehicles loaded with cargo passing by at high speed.

Further away, a huge dome of sky rose from the edge of the inner ring, embracing the inner city area of ​​Anning City.

As the core city of [Baishu County], it is the home of "Baishu's No. 1 Higher Education Institution".

Anning City is fortunate to have built this giant project, the "Dome Skydome", which covers the inner ring of Anning City and can adjust a series of parameters such as climate at will.

In the headphones, Lapis Lazuli provided timely popular science, introducing the excellence of these things to Song Shi in the simplest and most understandable words.

".Excellent technical ability." Lapis Lazuli made a judgment: "I have checked the parameters of these skimming patrol drones. Their performance is not inferior to the security models currently promoted by ChronoPass."

"Of course."

Song Shi said casually: "The technical strength of the Council of Knowledge is the best in East Land. If it can't compare with the Enterprise Alliance, then I suggest you surrender directly."

"But let me be frank." Song Shi sighed, "In terms of singularity technology, the corporate alliance does have a big advantage. Three items are not as good as nine items."

"No one is here." Ai Lu, staring at the street, suddenly spoke.

He looked around and saw that this street, which was bustling with people not long ago, was suddenly deserted. Literally.

Apart from a few tirelessly rotating sweeping discs and sweeping the streets over and over again, there was not a single person or car to be seen on the huge and spacious street. Song Shi and Ai Lu, who were standing next to the landscape potted plants, became the only living things here.

This is incredible. Given the size of Anning City, how could there be a "dead street"?
"Don't worry, it won't be noticeable." At this moment, Lapis Lazuli interrupted: "I have put a hidden mark on you. Now your image cannot be shown on the camera."

It is equivalent to putting on an "invisibility cloak" specifically designed for cameras.

"what time is it now?"

Song Shi asked Ai Lu.

The latter quickly replied: "Seventeen."

"Yeah, it's already seven o'clock."

Song Shi said leisurely: "Workshop employees need to go to work in exchange for today's resource quota, and researchers in the academy need to work hard on their research and strive to make breakthroughs in their research projects as soon as possible. The Academic Council has no place for idle personnel."

"——So, we should get down to business."

Song Shi put an energy bar into his mouth and took the first step.

He walked quickly to a roadside billboard.

Since I set foot in Anning City, I have hardly seen any "commercial advertisements" in the conventional sense. There are no holographic advertising projections, neon signs, endorsement short films, etc. On the giant screens hanging on the exterior walls of the buildings, there are only scientific research documentaries and news played around the clock.

And there are billboards built all over the city.

This is a two-meter-high touch-screen device with a high-definition LCD display.

The UI above is as simple as the architectural style here, and is neatly divided into several sections such as "News Information", "Project Announcement", and "Volunteer Channel".

The most eye-catching position in the news resource section is the topic of "Electron Pairing Mechanism of High-Temperature Superconductors" reported by the morning news host not long ago. It records in detail and popularizes the significance of this project.

However, Song Shi only took a quick glance and turned to look at the project announcement section.

Click to enter, click the search range, and limit it to "Anning City".

Swipe the screen to display the directory——

[Compound ketone enzyme extraction process based on the concept of quality by design]

【Application research of near infrared spectroscopy technology in detecting the components of Aji spore clusters】

【Microscopic changes of the bismuth ion under high temperature conditions】

【Application of high-performance carbon nanotube sensors.】

There are a wide variety of research projects, and these are the research projects that are currently open to the public by the Academic Council in Anning City.

Every citizen of the Council of Knowledge can view these on the billboards everywhere.

They could clearly witness that the Council of Knowledge was not lying and was leading them forward with a resolute and firm attitude.

Towards the future.

Then Song Shi’s browsing gaze stopped and fixed on one of them.

【Thought Transmutation Experiment Based on Plasticity Theory】

The corresponding disciplines are psychology and sociology.

There was an undisguised sneer in Song Shi's eyes.

“——Found it.”
