Several bright numbers were flashing continuously in the virtual sky above his head. Lu Yuan checked his watch and realized that the numbers represented time.
So he walked to the gate of a factory and asked the security guard. When the guard saw Lu Yuan and his group, he immediately showed a hint of emotion.
"This time is the countdown to the power outage. We work 15 hours a day. The remaining nine hours are rest time. During the rest time, the entire industrial park will lose power. There are still two hours until the power outage, so outsiders, you'd better find a place to stay as soon as possible."
The old security guard at the gate kindly reminded Lu Yuan.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"It seems you didn't mention this when you came. Because the electricity consumption in the industrial zone is enormous, they must ensure that all the electricity is used for industry. The nuclear power plant is already operating at overload and is no longer able to support 24-hour power supply, so a period of power outage is needed to store electricity."
"When the power goes out, it becomes very dangerous at night. The workers coming out of the factory area will turn into robbers and steal everything you have. So you'd better find a safe place to stay, because the safest place is your own house, which is a controlled area. The streets are not controlled, so you'd better find a house first."
Lu Yuan thanked the other party, then turned around and told everyone what he had heard from them.
"Good heavens, I didn't expect it to be this treacherous. Wasn't everyone supposed to be equal here? And what about the AI system? Doesn't it seem like it's going to be completely unaffected?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "That's the management model for commercial areas, but this is an industrial area. The only areas that are managed are inside the buildings. The streets are not subject to any regulations, unless you damage the roads, in which case you might be punished."
So the group went to a nearby vending machine to check how much money was in their ID cards.
When Lu Yuan affixed his ID card to the vending machine, the balance displayed on it was only one hundred.
Everyone else tried it too, and found that everyone's ID card also had a balance of one hundred.
