Chapter 145 People Under the Sky City 5
After signing, Zhang Xiaojia led this group of robots and felt relieved. Now, no one would dare to assassinate her unless they used missiles or atomic bombs.
However, all these weapons are actually controlled by the intelligent computer. I hope the intelligent computer still has the bottom line of the three laws, otherwise her winning rate will not be very good.
Two hours later, Zhang Xiaojia received the money. It was great! The first batch of start-up capital was there, and she was very satisfied.
She immediately applied to transfer the money back to Earth to build a factory to make hover cars, and was approved.
Zhang Xiaojia led the group of robots onto a huge airship. The airship was very impressive in appearance and well-equipped with all necessary facilities. Zhang Xiaojia was very satisfied.
As the airship slowly rose into the air, Zhang Xiaojia looked at the city in the sky through the window, his heart filled with emotion.
Back then, the environment on Earth was harsh, and the top ten tycoons emptied their fortunes to build the Sky City.
In the city in the sky, in order to protect their own interests and status, the ten major chaebols formulated and implemented a series of strict legal systems.
These laws regulated human behavior and ensured social order. However, they worried that human selfishness could disrupt this order, even leading to internecine warfare among the ten major chaebols. Therefore, they decided to develop an artificial intelligence system called "Intelligent Brain," endowed with the ability to autonomously learn and enforce laws.
This intelligent brain is not only capable of self-learning and evolution, but also has the power to monitor and judge everyone.
Once someone is found to have violated the law, the intelligent brain will take immediate action to punish the violator.
At the same time, it also avoids internal disputes caused by human selfishness.
In this city, although the judges are humans, it is the robots that actually decide the outcomes of the cases.
They use advanced algorithms and data analysis techniques to conduct in-depth research and analysis of each case, thereby making fair and objective judgments.
This makes the trial process more rigorous and demanding, while also ensuring the fairness of the judicial system.
Zhang Xiaojia had no intention of criticizing harsh judicial practices. For example, the upright official Hai Rui lived a life of poverty and integrity, suppressing the powerful, comforting the impoverished, and punishing corrupt officials. But he was overly paranoid, pedantic, and eccentric. Most importantly, the areas he governed grew increasingly poor.
Despite this, the reason why the city in the sky could be built and maintained to this day is inseparable from the continuous resource support provided by the earth.
Today, the city in the sky still relies on the earth, but only the wealthy are eligible to enter it.
Zhang Xiaojia was afraid of staying in the Sky City. Although she acted like a nonchalant person, the Lian family was very powerful. One of their businesses was to manufacture robots. She was afraid that they would be like her and secretly tamper with the robots, changing the first person to herself. She was even more afraid that they had no bottom line and did not input the three laws into the robots.
What she feared most was the intelligent brain. Autonomous learning and autonomous consciousness are different. She suspected that it had autonomous consciousness. Every step she took was teetering on the bottom line of the intelligent brain. It was Xiao Ai who cleaned up the mess for her. When she returned to Earth, the intelligent brain would have less control, and Xiao Ai would have more ability to do things better.
Seeing the task board in his mind, Zhang Xiaojia nodded when he saw that the second side quest was completed. He knew that he would have no more interactions with the male and female protagonists in the future, so there was no need to meet them.
When the airship returned to Earth, Zhang Xiaojia immediately felt the turbidity of the air on Earth. Her manor was very large and was always guarded by bodyguards, but compared with human bodyguards, this group of robots would be more powerful.
Arriving at his own manor, Zhang Xiaojia said to Lin Yi, "Captain Lin, bring your daughter here. I will treat her."
Captain Lin looked at her suspiciously, "Can you really treat it?"
Zhang Xiaojia said arrogantly, "On this earth, besides me, who else can cure your daughter's illness? You have no other choice but to trust me. Besides, you are here to protect my life, so what are you afraid of?"
Lin Yi could only believe her. He called his wife and asked her to bring their children to Zhang's home.
Zhang Xiaojia also asked the housekeeper to fire the heroine's parents and asked them to leave her place.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the map and realized that the housekeeper had built a city wall on the land she bought. Zhang Xiaojia was a little speechless. Could she be the city lord again?
Looking at the current land area on Earth, it is approximately 50 million square kilometers and the population is approximately 5 billion.
Basically, all the islands were destroyed, Mandarin became the main language on Earth, there were no countries or governments on Earth, the rich, powerful, and technologically advanced people all went to the sky city, and the rest were just middle and lower-level people struggling.
The Zhang family is a freak. The Sky City says that the Zhang family is a hypocrite. They are one of the founders of the Sky City, hypocritical and pitiful lower-class people. If you have the ability, don’t go back to the Sky City and use the medical cabin.
The lower class people think that the Zhang family is a family that exploits them and is rich but unkind.
You can't please either side and both sides complain.
Zhang Xiaojia is now having a headache. More than half of the city is now in a severely polluted area. Without any protective measures, humans can only survive for ten years at most. If this problem is not solved, how can we talk about green mountains and clear waters?
Fortunately, the original owner's legacy was for them to live on this land for generations to come, hoping that this land would regain its vitality.
She thought she was going to clean up the entire Earth? She was scared to death. No matter how many resources she had, she couldn't save the entire Earth.
Zhang Xiaojia put on a chemical protective suit and went to the most polluted area. He was walking in a mighty procession along the way. Looking at the dense crowds of people, this was one of the Zhang family's factories, and it was evidence of being criticized for being rich but unkind.
Zhang Xiaojia looked around, took off his chemical protective suit, and felt the air himself. There was actually a trace of spiritual energy in the air. Zhang Xiaojia was excited. This was easy. The compensation given by Xiao Tiandao had arrived.
Lin Yi walked over and said, "Boss, you rarely stay in polluted air. It's easy to get sick."
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "It's okay. I know what's going on. Captain Lin, help me do something. Find a group of people who are dying from air pollution, young, middle-aged, and old. Just tell them there's a chance of survival."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the land with no grass growing on it, and felt uncomfortable.
As soon as Zhang Xiaojia entered the manor, Uncle Qin, the housekeeper, came over and said, "Miss, the clan leader of the branch and several others are waiting for you in the hall."
Zhang Xiaojia knew without thinking why they were here. There were too many old people in the branch, and there were many people who took advantage of their seniority. They were just the right people to make an example of her and help her establish her authority.
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, select those who are loyal to the main family from the branch, and ask Uncle Xu to come back. He should not go on the inspection for the time being, so come back first."
Uncle Qin smiled and said, "Okay, Jiajia, I'll go call Lao Xu back."
When she walked into the hall, she saw the Zhang family's branch patriarch and five elders waiting for her with serious faces, as if they were judging a sinner.
Zhang Xiaojia, however, was not afraid at all. He walked straight to the main seat and sat down with a faint smile on his face. He asked in a relaxed tone, "What brings you all here today?"
The Zhang family branch patriarch's face darkened, and his tone was filled with obvious anger: "How dare you offend the Lian family!"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded slightly, with an uninhibited smile on his face, as if he didn't care.
Upon seeing this, the Zhang family's branch patriarch was furious and shouted, "You must apologize to the Lian family immediately and do as they ask! Otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiaojia interrupted him, still smiling, saying, "Grandpa has been gone for five years. During these five years, I have been struggling alone on this earth, and it took a lot of effort to gradually restore the Zhang family from the brink of collapse and make it more and more prosperous. Except for me, all the members of the Zhang family are dead. How can you give me orders? I usually call you 'old man' respectfully, but don't really think of yourself as my elder!"
Zhang Xiaojia paused for a moment, then his expression changed. A cold voice rang out, "You're afraid of offending the Lian family, but aren't you afraid of offending me? I don't know whether the Lian family will cut off your financial resources. But don't forget, whose food are you eating now? Who do you think you are? How dare you eat and drink my food, and even give me orders?"
The Zhang family branch patriarch was so angry at Zhang Xiaojia's words that he almost couldn't breathe. One of the elders hurried forward and said, "Xiaojia, quickly apologize to the patriarch. You are a junior, and you look how angry you have made the patriarch."
Zhang Xiaojia looked at them coldly, then turned and said, "Uncle Qin, please take a moment to work. Bring three teams of robots and drive these six people and their families out of my territory. Disable their Sky City card. Spread the word among the Zhang family branches. From now on, any branch of the Zhang family who dares to disobey my orders will be expelled from my territory and will lose the protection of the main family."
Uncle Qin immediately said, "I understand, Patriarch."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaojia left without caring about their expressions. The six members of the Zhang family branch wanted to follow him, but were blocked by the bodyguards and could only watch Zhang Xiaojia leave.
Zhang Xiaojia returned to her room, took a shower, and then sat down to meditate, feeling the spiritual energy in the air. She slowly guided the spiritual energy into her body, refining and absorbing the spiritual energy in her body. She spent a whole night there, and she was just getting started. At this rate and the spiritual energy in the air, it would probably take her a month to reach the first level of Qi Refining.
As long as she reaches the first level of Qi Refining, she can use talismans and refine pills, which means that she can use cleaning talismans to deal with the air pollution here.
While brushing her teeth, Zhang Xiaojia calculated that based on the spiritual energy here, she could only cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining. Furthermore, she could only produce five cleansing talismans per day. If she relied on these five cleansing talismans daily to purify the air, it would take a full 365 years to completely cleanse her land and air.
Zhang Xiaojia walked out dejectedly and saw Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, why are you back so early?"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Jia Jia, you called me back, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiaojia patted his face, cheered up and said, "Uncle Xu, I have a project here that I need you to manage personally and lead the robots to work on it."
Xu Feng was a smart man. He immediately realized that Zhang Xiaojia had changed the robot's first commander. He said nervously, "You changed the robot? Are you crazy? I taught you this, not to change it. You have established the three laws, right?"
Zhang Xiaojia said willfully, "Of course I set the three laws of robotics. Uncle Xu, don't worry about this little thing. I'll have a month to finish this. I've authorized you to use the money in my account. You are my second-in-command."
Xu Feng slapped Zhang Xiaojia on the head, and the robot immediately warned him with a gun. Zhang Xiaojia smiled triumphantly.
Zhang Xiaojia sat in the car, watching a group of people squeeze into the bus. Can you believe that in the 25th century, private cars are rare, and people travel by bus and subway. The reason is simple: energy shortages. Even key materials like solar panels and batteries are extremely limited on Earth, and most of these resources are supplied to the city in the sky.
Zhang Xiaojia is not qualified to comment. To be precise, she herself is one of the exploiters. Although many people are willing to work at her factory because of the relatively high wages it offers—an annual salary nearly five times that of other companies—this cannot obscure the fact that she chose to build her factory in a heavily polluted area.
