The Infinite Journey Of The Prototype

Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Black Rock City

After staying in the city of Sfore for five days, taking clothes and a batch of purchased supplies, the three returned to the sea of ​​trees in Kyiv.

When they came back this time, they did not want to continue living Wu You’s carefree life in the forest, but to pack their luggage and prepare for a journey to the northeast of the empire.

…

Empire, a large country with a feudal system that has lasted for thousands of years and prospered for thousands of years.

In these thousand years, without any change of imperial power, the royal family is still the one from the glorious period.

Large-scale wars have been carried out, but under the oppression of Emperor Gu, the imperial royal family has been sitting back on Wu You.

In the history of Li Wei, no country can last for such a long time. The Chinese civilization has continued to this day and has undergone many dynasties.

The deformed empire holds the force to suppress all reactionary forces. If you want to overthrow the rule of the empire, the first thing to do is to solve it, a thought that has been deeply rooted for thousands of years!

…

The border cities in the northeast of the empire have a cold climate and most of the crops cannot be planted. They would not have become a prosperous business circle of the empire. However, after a large number of iron ore and coal mines were found on the border, the northeastern part of the empire became the forefront of industrialization. base.

The special electric lights used by the empire and some items for the nobles to play with were all from the industrial cities in the northeast, and the headquarters of the empire’s wealthy businessmen were also in the industrial cities in the northeast.

Black Rock City in the northeast is the second most prosperous city in the empire, and the degree of luxury is not weaker than that of the imperial capital.

There are more than six million people living in Black Rock City, where there is a lot of smog above. This should not have seen such a large city cluster on the frozen northern soil where there is no food.

However, the extremely high economic value brought by industry allowed the big merchants to rely on a large amount of grain transportation to abruptly prop up the operation of Black Rock City.

At the same time, the grain merchants who control the grain also control all the laborers in Black Rock City. They are forced to work 16 hours a day in exchange for the money to feed the family.

And because Black Rock City is far away from the warmth of the empire, all Black Rock City workers can only be trapped in the Black City City for their entire lives, accepting endless exploitation and utilization.

…

The Empire’s Black Rock City is controlled by capital and at the same time enjoys funding from capital.

Next to the Blackstone Tower in the center of Blackstone City, there is a huge academy, which is open to all children of Blackstone City residents. Anyone who has reached the age can pass the assessment and pay a certain amount of money to enter the school to learn writing and technology every month. These new technologies can Help these people find a high-paying job in Blackrock City.

But… nothing more.

The workers save money every month and save money and send their children to Black Rock City. All they learn are simple spelling and vocabulary. Unless you are good enough to be taken by your instructor, the rest of the knowledge is.

Otherwise, students who successfully graduate will only repeat the old path of their parents. Those who are a little smarter will become a little skilled worker, earning a little more salary than others, holding the title of Master, and dreaming of being able to work in Blackstone. Buy an expensive house in the city.

Boom!

The giant pendulum clock rang the long bell at twelve noon, and the roaring mechanical sound in Blackrock City seemed to disappear at this moment.

In Heiyao College, students who had been educated in duckling style all morning swarmed into the cafeteria, and only the teacher walked slowly towards the cafeteria for teachers.

They are not dressed in commoners and silks like ordinary poor people in the imperial capital, but in neat suits. Some male teachers also wear golden glasses that symbolize cultural figures.

When meeting colleagues, they will smile at each other and appear polite.

After George finished teaching for a long time and recruited those half-baked colleagues, Roar, with the help of Shaking Aunt in the cafeteria, he had a barely fruitful lunch.

A spoonful of mashed potatoes, a spoonful of curry, two pieces of bread, and a small piece of meatloaf.

This kind of lunch has not changed for a long time. George doesn’t like mashed potatoes, because he always feels that the sleepiness of teaching in the afternoon is caused by mashed potatoes!

But if he wants to have the strength to teach, he has no choice but to eat mashed potatoes.

George came to the corner of the cafeteria, sat in his favorite corner seat, and read a novel from his chest shirt.

In Blackrock City, people rarely have entertainment activities. They need to work continuously for 16 hours in various positions every day. Every six days, people can take a day off.

This is not the generosity of the wealthy businessmen. Without the workers, there would be no population in Black Rock City, and the wealth of the wealthy businessmen would be lost.

The only entertainment for the workers is basically sex, but George thinks he is not a worker, but an intellectual, so his entertainment is to buy novels produced in the center of the empire to watch.

I don’t know if it is the influence of the unpalatable mashed potatoes, or the novel is unsightly.

George kept flipping through the books in his hand, and the original exciting novel became dull, so much so that he shook his head and put down the novel in his hand, and concentrated on picking up the food on the bowl.

“Hey, George, why don’t you read a book today?”

While George was picking up rice, an unpleasant voice came from the table next door.

George ignored it, but the speaker did not intend to let him go.

A man in a denim overalls and a funny brown cotton hat came to his table and put the empty dinner plate on the table.

George raised his head and glanced. The opponent had rough skin and beard peculiar to workers, and there were unwashed oil stains on his arms and clothes.

It’s a person he looks down on very much. His name is Bauer. He is a mechanical maintenance worker. Because of his excellent skills and good educational ability, he was selected as a maintenance professional teacher in the application for technicians in the first two years. Teach children who have no abilities how to become a qualified maintenance worker.

George looked down on him very much, not only because the other party was often sloppy, liked to yell while speaking, and had a strong smell of engine oil on his body, but also because Bauer often came to harass him.

“Don’t be like this guy, we have known each other for a few years, let me tell you, I taught a good student, I got the first place in the last skill test, and also entered the top three in the design competition, even with me All got the reward of twenty silver coins, hehe!”

“If you are here to show off your student, I already know it, very powerful, you can go.” George swallowed the food, after a perfunctory sentence, speeded up the eating rate, trying to get rid of Bauer’s harassment.

Bauer suddenly nodded and said, “I understand, I understand, you cultural people love to read, you must go back to study again, right!”

George ignored him.

Suddenly, Bauer took out a small slap-sized book from his tooling pocket, bent his majestic body, approached George, and said in a low voice: “My student gave me a small book and asked me to Saying don’t hand it over to others, it’s best to burn it after reading. He is very nervous, but you know me. Even if I know how to read, I will read the first two books. I will give this book to you. , I wonder if you burn it after reading it, it seems the same.”

George shrank his neck when Bauer approached him, and then when he heard what he said, he looked at the small book he handed over in confusion. There was no word on the cover of the book.

“What book is this?”

“I haven’t read it, but Nat is very solemn, but I really don’t like reading. I have to knit Lisa’s sweater when I get home. Give it to you. Remember to burn it after reading it!”

After receiving the small book from the rough big hand, George had to admit that his interest was aroused, but in front of Bauer, who was despised by him, he was not very good to start reading immediately, just casually. nod.

“Let’s talk about it when I read it, but don’t be that kind of book.”

Bauer smiled heartily, stood up, and said heartily: “If it’s that kind of book, you might not be willing to burn it. I’m leaving first, and I have to go back to prepare for the course!”

George’s face turned dark, and he noticed strange glances from the canteen. He wanted to slap Bauer in the face.
