Asuka Shin walked in through the automatic door, slapped a stack of documents on the table, then threw himself heavily into the chair, finished a large glass of water in one go, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said
: "This is the information from the headquarters, I picked it up on the way."
After finishing speaking, he said with a bit of complaint: "Technology is so advanced, why do we still use paper documents?"
"Because the data can be viewed remotely, while paper documents can only be viewed in front of you." Chiba Cheng picked up the sealed document bag, opened it, took out a thick stack of reports, and browsed through the lines at a glance.
He was flipping through the pages at a speed that was comparable to the breeze blowing through the pages of a book, making Asuka Xin very curious about what he could see at this speed.
Then after Chiba Cheng finished flipping through it and threw it to him, Asuka Shin flipped through it and realized why Chiba Cheng read it so quickly, because 90% of it was useless information.
Just like the user agreement, service agreement and precautions, they are densely packed and can have thousands of words, but not to mention reading them all, very few people even take a look at them.
TPC has been established for ten years. Many reports, summaries and other materials have basically formed a fixed template. They are a lot of clauses that are usually useless but can be used to deflect blame at critical moments, plus a little useful information.
.
This is the same as a company. In the beginning, there were basically no restrictions, but as time went on, there were more regulations, and each one was more outrageous than the last. And behind every outrageous regulation, something even more outrageous had happened.
As a result, the company's existence time and regulations are directly proportional, which is also one of the important reasons for the rigidity of the system of large companies.
Without exception!
Even an organization like the TPC that combines military and political affairs is no exception. The regulations and regulations that are added year by year are like ropes, binding the 'cells' that make up the TPC, making them very easy to manage, but
It also gradually lost its vitality, causing TPC to become rigid.
Just like paper documents.
As Asuka Shinobu said, technology has become so advanced that millions of words can be sent to all parts of the world by typing on the keyboard. We can even cross the galaxy through the cosmic network and reach Mars and even the Jupiter space station further away.
However, there are still printers and printers inside the TPC. It is very similar to the Bald Eagle nuclear system in the old defense army era. It still uses hardcore floppy disks and insists on telling the outside world that it continues to use them.
The ancient technology of floppy disk is because floppy disk is difficult to be attacked by hackers due to its special physical characteristics and its quality is more reliable than advanced hard disk, and...
In short, a lot of reasons are given to prove that this old system and ancient floppy disk belong to Bitao and are irreplaceable.
But in fact, in order to maintain this old system and operate it smoothly, hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year.
The explanation given by relevant personnel for why it is so expensive is that the system and accessories are too old and have long since withdrawn from the market. Therefore, a large amount of the expenditure is used to maintain the normal production line of accessories for this ancient system.
Operation, in case the parts are damaged, but the parts cannot be found, causing the entire system to be paralyzed.
The words are high-sounding, and the reasons seem reasonable, but one can easily imagine how many tricks there are in this.
Which business is the most profitable? Of course, monopoly is the most profitable.
There are also categories of monopolies. Some are achieved because they are too advanced and cannot be copied by others. Such monopolies are technologically invincible. Others are achieved because they are too backward and have long been eliminated by the market. No one is still producing.
Monopoly, this kind of monopoly belongs to the invincible network.
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for your benefit!
If there is no benefit, the dog will ignore it.
Therefore, the more people there are, the more complicated the relationships are and the deeper the interests are entangled.
Where can I buy the water I drink from, which store can I buy the books I use, and which store can I buy the food I order from...
All of them have ‘rules’ and cannot be touched easily.
So, even though the position is small, the involvement is quite significant.
After listening to this lofty speech, Feiniao Xin lay down on the table, feeling dizzy.
He never expected that such a simple question would lead to such deep water.
From ink cartridges, to paper, to maintenance, etc., there are so many people involved in the entire line, so no wonder it can’t be cancelled.
If you think about it more broadly, a small printing involves a lot of people, there are so many people in the police department, and it lasts for such a long time, the benefits are absolutely huge.
No wonder it is said that when running a big country, if you cook small dishes, if you don't pay attention to it, the whole thing will change.
Just like Katsuma Ikuta and others who lost their jobs, after returning, Makoto Chiba also learned that TPC was not unaware of their living difficulties. Since 2015, it has issued many policies to help
Help people who are forced to lose their jobs due to the rapid development of science and technology.
For example, training allows them to master some high-tech knowledge so that they can keep up with the pace of society; there are also subsidies to give unemployed people a certain living allowance so that they can survive difficult times; and...
A series of policies were issued, and then...
There is no more.
The documents were passed on layer by layer, and the sound disappeared as they were passed around, and the money disappeared with them.
There is also the 'experimental' contract signed by Ikuta Katsuma. He can't find anyone to continue to execute the contract, but the money is probably still being distributed, but after a certain stage, it is gone.
Although he had some speculations, Chiba Makoto did not take care of it because he didn't know where to start. If he wanted to take action, he needed evidence, and if he wanted to get evidence, he had to check the accounts. The vast sea of accounts, professionals
Just looking at it gives me a headache, let alone a layman. It's no better than finding a needle in a haystack.
How much energy and time should be spent on this?
If you have the energy, you might as well help Ikuta Katsuma find a job. Otherwise, even if you help him find 'justice' this time, if you let Ikuta Katsuma continue to eat and wait for death, you might lose 'justice' again one day.
After all, corruption has never had a good solution since ancient times.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, considering the luck of this old hapless guy like Tian Katsuma, he should just find a normal job. Although he was lucky not to be harmed this time, Asuka
The document brought by the letter is the brain test report of the people hired by the Miji planet. According to the medical technology of the earth, no problems were found. However, for safety reasons, these people have to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time until they are completely recovered.
If there is a problem, you will be discharged from the hospital.
"Eh!"
Asuka's letter lying on the table was flipping through the pages, but he turned to a very different page, which was the interrogation record of the Mickey Planet.
Among them, the Miji planets mentioned that their inspiration for hiring unemployed humans came from the practice of an alien from the Interstellar Alliance. The Miji aliens heard that an alien from space used favorable conditions to attract humans who were disappointed with the earth and desperate for life.
When Asuka Shin saw this, he straightened up and said, "Captain, look at this."
"I saw it."
"What do you think the cosmonauts want humans to do? Become guinea pigs?"
Asuka Shin couldn't understand. With the knowledge and physique of human beings, what do the cosmic people want from humans?
It’s not like people in space also grow cotton, right?
"Perhaps, they also make biocomputers?" Fudo Ken guessed.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The Intelligence Bureau is following up on this case and is conducting a dragnet-like investigation of the computing power of unmanned intelligence companies on the market to see if anything can be gained."
Chiba Makoto sorted out the document, which was full of templates, stuffed it into a file bag, and threw Asuka Shin into the file room. What awaited it was that it was gradually covered with dust until one day it was cleared into the trash.
.
After saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The automatic door of the room opened at this time. Dagu walked in with a tablet and said as he walked: "Captain, the co-investigation letter sent by the Intelligence Bureau concerning the missing persons case wants us to
Get involved in the investigation.”
"The disappearance case? Is it related to people from space?"
Chiba Cheng said, taking the tablet, sliding it up and down, browsing quickly, and getting an overview.
In order to find out all the humans who had been employed by the Mijis and examine their bodies, especially their brains, the Intelligence Bureau and the Police Bureau intervened, and mobilized police officers and government employees to pay attention to and visit the long-term unemployed.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
Only then did we discover that many long-term unemployed people were missing.
They can't be found at home, their phone calls can't be reached, and their relatives and friends don't know where they are.
One is accidental, two is accidental, and three or four are okay. However, hundreds of people have been found missing before the metropolis has even been visited. If the scope and crowd are expanded, will there be more missing people?
Where is it?
Thinking about it, you know how serious the situation is, so much so that it was discussed at an enlarged TPC staff meeting to mobilize more departments to participate and conduct a thorough investigation of those who have been ignored or even ignored for a long time.
Even if these people have little value to society and cannot create value, they cannot be left alone. Even if they starve to death on earth, they cannot go to aliens to pick cotton.
"It's another disappearance case."
Lina slid her chair over, took the tablet on the table, swiped it up and down, and said, "I remember that I checked it before and found a broadcast in a special frequency band, but in the end nothing was found."
"Because after we discovered it, the other party immediately cut off this line." Dagu also remembered that when he was investigating the Kirialodians, he accidentally discovered a group of transmitters on the Metropolis Tower.
The terrestrial digital signal system, which is about to be eliminated, uses metropolitan railways as a huge antenna, broadcasting a set of special frequency signals in a loop.
Through unpacking and analysis, it was found that it was a simple transmitter, which repeatedly played a passage:
There is no sadness, no pain, complete equality, and everyone can have a happy new world!
Originally, they should have conducted an in-depth investigation along this line, but due to the appearance of the 'Angel', both the Victory Team and Chiba Makoto had no choice but to deal with the Kirialodians' conspiracy.
And after they finally crushed the Kirialod people's conspiracy this time, they went to investigate the transmitter, but they didn't have any clues.
Neither the parts nor the installer found anything. It was as if this set of transmitters appeared on the earth out of thin air and directly appeared on the metropolitan tower.
But using the duodenum, one can imagine that this must be someone behind the scenes who has erased all the clues.
It was a pity for the Victory Team. If the Kirialodians hadn't been involved, they would have been able to uncover another group of space people. After that, no similar clues were found, as if the group of space people had stopped.
.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, large-scale disappearances were discovered.
This made Da Gu suddenly think of a possibility, that is, the other party did not stop its activities, but adopted a more covert method, attracting (tying up) and attracting (arresting) humans in a steady stream.
Thinking of this, Dagu immediately asked: "Did the Miji people say which cosmic person inspired them?"
"No," Feiniao Xin shook his head and said, "I just mentioned it, and there was no in-depth inquiry at all. Does the police station understand interrogation? Such important information, but they didn't ask in detail and conduct in-depth investigation."
"They are professional, but professional is not necessarily good." Chiba Cheng took the tablet from Lina's hand and saw the full WIFI signal on it. Suddenly an inspiration came to his mind and said: "You guys
Say, will the other party use the Internet to attract people?"
"Network?" The team members gathered around, wanting to hear what Chiba Makoto had to say.
Chiba Cheng asked a question directly: "How many people are still watching TV, and how many people are playing on their mobile phones?"
"Uh..." The answer to this question is obvious. Anyway, the TV in Dagu and Lina's home has been basically just a decoration since they were bought, gathering dust. Instead, it is a mobile phone that cannot be used for even a minute, let alone a day.
"So, Captain, do you think the spacemen who placed the transmitters on the metropolitan towers have switched to using the Internet to transmit messages?"
"Yes, the transmitter discovered before uses a wide range of broadcasts to achieve the effect of casting a wide net, and the network transmission range is wider. No matter where it is, it can be transmitted to all parts of the world, so the range is even wider
If it is widespread, the effect should be better.”
"No wonder so many people are missing."
"But with so many people missing, didn't anyone find out?" Feiniao Xin wondered. Couldn't the neighbors find out? Couldn't the relatives and friends find out? My colleagues in the company should know.
"This is the brilliance of the other party," Chiba Cheng opened the list of missing persons and said: "The missing people are basically people on the margins of society. They have been unemployed for a long time at home and do not go out to socialize. They belong to class reunions and cannot shout out their names, or even...
Transparency that cannot be remembered.”
"...That's really hard to find."
"It's targeted screening again." Dagu was now more certain. This was the wave of cosmonauts who installed the transmitter on the metropolitan tower. Even the screening method was exactly the same. Obviously it had not changed for so many years. It had always been
Do this kind of thing.
This brings us back to the original question: why has the other party persisted in kidnapping so many humans for such a long time?
