Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 33 [This city is good in every way, but it’s not down to earth]

At this moment, Xiao Yu took advantage of the hotel's good viewing angle to overlook the scenery of the center of Tiandu City.

The endless stream of floating motorcycles in the city are running in the three-dimensional transportation network. Various floating vehicles are traveling at different spatial heights. It seems chaotic, but it is actually in order.

The population of Tiandu City has reached 5000 million. Theoretically, there is an upper limit to the population size of a city and it cannot expand indefinitely.

One of the constraints is transportation. If the population density is too high, urban traffic will be overcrowded and traffic pressure will limit the upper limit of the size of a city.

According to the situation on Earth, a megacity with a population of 2000 million will face enormous traffic pressure.

But the Tiandu City that Xiao Yu saw at this moment had a population density that was obviously several times higher than the metropolises on Earth with a population of tens of millions, and the population size was approaching 5000 million. However, the traffic in the city was unimpeded and there was no traffic jam at all.

This is thanks to the developed three-dimensional transportation network. The upgrade of urban transportation from two-dimensional on the ground to three-dimensional in the air has created a super capital with such a large population.

The world of Blue Star has rich natural superconducting veins, which allow various transportation vehicles to rely on the magnetic field of Blue Star to leave the ground and achieve superconducting levitation. The birth of a three-dimensional transportation network is an inevitable product.

If all kinds of transportation vehicles in Tiandu City can only run on the centralized ground, the traffic in the entire city will be completely paralyzed, and the city’s population size will not be so large.

Transportation vehicles can travel in the air using superconducting technologies and can be distributed on planes at different spatial heights, instantly reducing urban traffic pressure exponentially.

It is the three-dimensional transportation network that has enabled the city's population to expand to 5000 million, or even double it to 1 million, without any traffic pressure in Tiandu City.

The three-dimensional transportation network distributes the hovercraft vehicles at different altitudes. The hovercraft vehicles with different functions have corresponding designated aerial routes. For example, all private cars are required to travel at one altitude, public vehicles are required to travel at another altitude, freight vehicles are required to travel at one altitude, and so on.

The three-dimensional traffic network makes the traffic environment in Tiandu City extremely smooth. Although there seem to be many vehicles, they are actually scattered at different spatial heights. If you just intercept one of the height surfaces, you will find that the vehicles are actually very sparse. There is no traffic jam at all, and some intersections don't even have traffic lights.

"what?"

At this moment, Xiao Yu noticed that in the distance, at an altitude of more than 600 meters above the city ground, a private hovercraft left the dedicated lane and crashed directly into a skyscraper in front.

Xiao Yu thought he was about to witness a mid-air car accident, but the result surprised him greatly.

When the hovercraft was about to hit the skyscraper, it seemed to encounter an invisible repulsive force that caused the vehicle to suddenly slow down to zero. It was then bounced back several meters and hovered in the air without moving.

"It seems that the natural room-temperature superconducting ores in the Blue Star world are extremely abundant. It's so luxurious. I can do whatever I want if I have a mine at home..." Xiao Yu was amazed and couldn't help but sigh.

In the scene we just saw, the skyscraper and the hovercraft were like two magnets that repel each other. The hovercraft was bounced back, avoiding a collision accident.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu speculated that all the major buildings in this city should have this anti-collision function.

……

In the next few Blue Star days, Xiao Yu registered a company in Tiandu City. At the same time, he received several resumes for secretary and assistant positions. This time, Xiao Yu took a fancy to a job seeker from the submitted resumes.

At least from the resume information, it seems that he is quite in line with Xiao Yu's requirements, but the specific situation still needs to be further confirmed through an interview in person, so he directly contacted the other party to come to Tiandu for an interview. The next day, afternoon tea time.

Xiao Yu stayed in the living room of the hotel suite, and after a few minutes he heard a knock on the door.

He stood up and went to open the door, and when he opened it, he saw a woman standing at the door. Xiao Yu quickly recognized her face and found that she was the job seeker who had asked her to come to Tiandu for an interview.

Xiao Yu recalled his resume for a moment and said, "Yan Lingjun, right? I am Xiao Yu, come in."

The other party entered the house, Xiao Yu closed the door and walked towards the sofa in the living room: "Sit down."

This is a beautiful woman with impeccable appearance and figure. She has an extraordinary temperament, delicate features, and a radiant face. She wears light makeup, with soft hair draped over her body, and she dresses fashionably and appropriately.

The two of them sat down. Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Yan Lingjun and he said with a smile: "From your resume, it looks very good and meets my requirements, but I still want to interview you in person and ask you some questions."

Yan Lingjun nodded: "Please ask, Mr. Xiao."

The next step was the interview session. Xiao Yu asked several questions and started a conversation with Yan Lingjun. During the conversation, Xiao Yu unexpectedly discovered that this woman's ideological realm was very high, far ahead of the previous interviewees.

Xiao Yu was basically certain that the information on her resume was reliable. She had an outstanding temperament, was good-looking, and had outstanding abilities. The key was that her ideological realm exceeded Xiao Yu's expectations. If he had to point out a shortcoming, it would be that she was not born into a prominent family background, but she had also reached the threshold of the elite class.

But then again, if Yan Lingjun had a prominent family background, it would be impossible for him to go to the newly established Prism Company to apply for a job.

After a long time, Xiao Yu looked at Yan Lingjun who was sitting in front of him and asked her with interest: "Why do I see that you don't seem to be very interested in this Sky City? Don't you like this Sky City?"

Hearing this, Yan Lingjun did not answer, but asked Xiao Yu: "Mr. Xiao, do you like this city?"

Xiao Yu sat back on the sofa with his legs crossed. He looked away and thought for a moment before saying, "There is no doubt that this Heavenly Capital City is worthy of the reputation of 'Fairyland on Earth', but frankly speaking, I personally don't like it very much. I would even prefer to stay in Fengquan City."

Yan Lingjun was surprised by this and couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Countless people yearn for Tianshan. How could President Xiao dislike this place?"

Xiao Yu turned to look at Yan Lingjun and said, "This city is good in every way, but it is not down-to-earth enough. It stands high above the clouds and is unattainable, looking down on all living beings with indifference. Above the Tianshan Mountains, there are auspicious lights and auspicious scenery, but below the Tianshan Mountains, the world is difficult and people's lives are difficult. This huge sense of tearing makes people uncomfortable."

He didn't know that his words would shock Yan Lingjun so much that she even doubted Xiao Yu's identity for a moment. Could it be that he was also a revolutionary comrade who was lurking in the Heavenly Kingdom and engaging in underground activities like himself?
Xiao Yu now has no idea that the beautiful woman who came to apply for the job is actually a rebel from Heaven. She is a member of the "Red Tide Organization" and also a spy of the armed revolutionary organization lurking inside Heaven.

It was no coincidence that Yan Lingjun appeared in front of Xiao Yu. There was a key person, and Xiao Yu was actually no stranger to him. This person was Liu Shijie, the boss of Qingyang Town. He was also a member of the Red Tide Organization and an underground contact lurking in Qingyang Town.

It was Liu Shijie who sent the intelligence to the higher-level organization that led to Yan Lingjun's application. The Red Tide Organization's revolutionary army is currently in great shortage of food. In fact, it is not just food that is lacking, but also many other supplies including weapons and equipment.

Boss Liu realized that Xiao Yu was able to obtain a large amount of food supplies, and was willing to sell them to anyone, so he sent this information to his superiors. Yan Lingjun's main purpose in approaching Xiao Yu was to explore new ways to obtain food supplies for the Red Tide Organization.
