I really have special powers

Chapter 210 Worthless

Elon Musk, this rich man is not a simple rich man, but one of the most famous rich people in the world today, or in other words, one of the most famous people in the world.He is keen on new media promotion, keen on exaggerated personal style, and is particularly nagging, so much so that he posts several tweets on the X platform every day, sometimes more than [-] tweets a day, which is more than ordinary people. .

He is "arrogant" and "arrogant". He often speaks without restraint. Whenever he gets into trouble, he enjoys it without learning any lessons. It can be said that it is no less difficult to shut him up for a day than to shut him up for a day. Let him die.

His popularity is often accompanied by huge controversy, which makes people's perception of him particularly complicated.But I have to say that in the eyes of Miles and Dean, this is a smart move. In this era, whether it is red or black, as long as it is hot, it is accompanied by traffic, and with traffic, no matter what you do , you are more than half successful.

"Hi, you two, how are you doing?"

Musk greeted the two.

"Very good, I'm doing pretty well."

The two stepped forward and hugged their friend.

"I bet you guys are here at the right time. Let me introduce you to you."

Musk is one of the leaders of the "New Eden Project". He has participated in and planned the entire blueprint, so he can talk endlessly and has a plan in mind: "After it is completed according to the plan, the Garden of Eden in New Zealand will be enough to accommodate a full 3000 people. , the life support system inside will allow us not to worry about it for 100 years..."

Miles has long been accustomed to Musk's pie-drawing skills. Since Musk said that he doesn't have to worry about it for 100 years, then at a half discount, he won't have to worry about it for about 50 years.

"Is 3000 people too many?"

Dean asked: "If we can reduce it to 300 people, wouldn't we be able to last for 1000 years?"

"That's not how it works, my friend!"

Musk pointed at the construction site: "Look, New Eden is so huge. Think about it, how many engineers are needed to maintain it? Our machines are not foolproof and still require a lot of manpower to repair and maintain. In fact, I think Of these 3000 people, only 500 are allocated to us. The remaining 500 people are all elites from all walks of life. They will use their labor to come here for free... For example, chefs, do you want to make your own food? Food? For example, gardeners, farmers, pastry chefs, etc. in daily life, as well as important software engineers, electrical engineers, and hardware engineers."

Dean then understood, but he was unwilling to accept it: "This is not fair. We have to pay a billion dollars for a person's ticket, but they only need to work? What kind of labor can be worth a billion dollars? Even 10 years of labor will not do it. .”

"Dean, that's not what you said," Miles stopped Dean. "The accumulation of wealth may be just an accident, just like us. Although we have wealth, in the doomsday environment, there is really no Is there any particularly high value? You can’t even make an omelette. When the time comes, are you going to say that you are good at road shows and exaggerating your advantages? Come on, this will be worthless in the future.”

"Compared to this, Elon, I care about another point more."

Miles stared at Musk: "What do you use to ensure our safety?"

"?" Dean looked at his friend in surprise, not understanding what this meant.

Musk understood Miles's words instantly.

Just like Miles said, in a doomsday environment, the real value of five hundred rich people may not be as useful as a gardener. Do we need to prove that they are good at eating and drinking?

In an environment where the normal social order has collapsed, the previous laws can no longer guarantee their personal safety, especially according to Musk, in the New Eden, they only account for one-sixth of the people, and they belong to a minority group. , and it is conceivable that their consumption of materials will definitely account for five-sixths of the total.

So, will the other 500 people be willing to do it?You must understand that they are also elites in society, and they are not as easy to fool as ordinary ignorant people.

"Hahaha Myers, you are really thinking far ahead." Musk lit a cigarette and puffed on the smoke. "Just as you worried, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, not only the intelligence is highly centralized in the entire New Eden , and the authority will also be highly centralized. Those who control the authority of New Eden will be the committee inside. Without corresponding authority, they will not even have the oxygen to breathe."

Miles was still waiting to ask again, but Musk said he had something to do and had to leave.

After Musk left, Dean said cheerfully: "Miles, you have no need to worry."

"No, it's better to say that I'm more worried."

"What do you mean?"

“The highly centralized intelligence and highly centralized authority that Musk talks about are simply impossible to achieve.”

Miles said calmly: "Do you think it's a movie? Do you think it has a super AI? Do you think you can control the entire base with a super administrator's password like in the movie? Don't be kidding, the current technology can't do it at all. Less than that, even if it can be achieved, there are too many loopholes. Now I am not optimistic about this "New Eden Project". This is a pie in the sky, and we must withdraw. "

"what?"

Dean was anxious: "We paid all the tickets."

"It's better than not having anyone left by then."

"But apart from this plan, what else can we do? Do we really want to be crowded together with ordinary people?"

Dean shuddered: "Living with a daily bread quota?"

"You came here like this a few years ago."

"It's different. I've already enjoyed myself until I'm full, so it's impossible for me to endure hunger anymore."

"Who would want to? There is nothing you can do about it. No matter how painful it is, you must learn to accept it."

The conversation between the two is just a small microcosm of the current situation. Their struggles are as dust in this era and cannot affect the general trend.

While big countries are fine, people in small countries are even more frightened. They believe that the vote at the United Nations is not binding and that once big countries complete their plans, they will inevitably abandon small countries.

Therefore, the small countries requested at the United Nations that the big countries must first solve the doomsday disaster evacuation dungeons for the small countries. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything big, but they still have the ability to pull people into trouble.

This is not a lie.

For example, China, after entering a state of emergency, stopped issuing gasoline vehicle licenses, reduced the use of gasoline vehicles for civilians, and significantly reduced oil consumption.However, don’t forget that in modern industry, far more than automobiles rely on oil. More than half of the oil is used in industry and medicine.

For example, the simplest clothing materials are inseparable from the application of petroleum.
