The rise of nanometers

Detroit.

Inside a General Motors engine manufacturing plant.

A large number of workers work silently on the cold assembly line, like robots.

With the rapid inflation of the rice dollar and the lack of an international market to transfer the over-issued rice dollars, internal prices have skyrocketed.

On the other hand, in order to compete with East Asia in various fields, the Noah Club has also launched a series of radical plans.

As a result, a large number of heavy industries, aerospace industry, and weapons industry entered a stage of great expansion.

Noah's plan to solve inflation is also very simple and crude, that is, the currency exchange order, the issuance of new vouchers-Noah coins, and the limit is that each person can only redeem 5,000 Noah coins at a time.

In this way, internal inflation and other economic problems are pushed to the rice dollar, and the Noah currency is used for transactions.

To a certain extent, this is a good way to solve inflation, that is, to abolish the rice dollar in disguise, and big banks have also converted various previous debts into Noah coins.

These big oligarchs of the Noah Society have joined forces to ensure the value of Noah's currency through food, daily necessities, energy and various industrial products.

On the other hand, the Noah Society also used industrial revitalization as an excuse to increase working hours and reduce a series of benefits.

Although the middle and lower classes are very dissatisfied, the reality is so cruel.

If you don’t work in a factory or participate in infrastructure construction, you can only become a homeless person. Becoming a homeless person in North America means that you have no chance to turn over.

On the factory's assembly line, the former car engine production line has been transformed into a small truck engine production line.

Powell, a Mexican immigrant, repeatedly tightened the screws one by one, just like an industrial robot.

The workshop supervisor was an old white man. He glanced at the dozen workers with arrogant eyes and brainwashed everyone from time to time:

"You must always remember, who gave you the opportunity to work? Who allowed you to live? It was the company. Without the company, you would all be unemployed and become homeless people living on the streets."

The workers did not dare to refute and could only act as industrial robots silently. In other words, they were numb at this time.

After living a life of hunger and cold for several months, many people had to lower their heads, surrender to the cruel reality, and work in factories.

Unable to plunder externally, the Noah Society can only increase its internal plunder. Anyway, no matter what happens, these big oligarchs are destined to be the top predators in society.

A large number of US troops who have withdrawn from all over the world have also been stationed in various local states to ensure that they can deal with any rebellion.

On the other side, Internet companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, FT and YouTube also blocked a lot of information under the orders of the Noah Society.

Coupled with the large-scale surveillance system under construction, new technologies allow Noah to control the local area more calmly. They also tore off their disguised faces, pulled in a group of old white men and red necks, and re-adjusted the internal industrial system.

The Noah Society, which has a strong foundation, is rapidly restoring industrial productivity. With the agricultural areas of the North American Great Plains, it can achieve agricultural self-sustainability; it can also be self-sufficient in energy. Once the Noah Society breaks out, its strength and potential cannot be underestimated. .

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. North America was once the world's largest industrial power. With its rich resources and firm control over most of the Americas, it would not be too bad even if it declines.

On the contrary, the Xizhou Alliance is in disarray. Due to the difficulty of internal reconciliation, it has never been able to twist it into a unified force. It has huge potential, but it has never been able to realize it.

In this era of great strife, the most qualified forces to advance to interstellar civilization are East Asia and North America; the second step is the Western Continent Alliance and Lucia, which have hope but have considerable problems.

The third step is Tianzhu, which has great potential but also has very serious problems. In addition, if Japan can untie the dog chain, its potential is not weaker than Tianzhu.

It's a pity that Japan has no chance. Although Noah will give up on them, they have another owner, and they are destined to have no chance to turn over.

Detroit, once the core of North America's automobile industry, has quickly returned to its heyday, stimulated by a steady stream of construction machinery orders.

After more than a year of major transformation, Detroit has absorbed a large number of lower-class workers. The number of registered workers in the city currently reaches 380,000.

The recovery of factories has brought massive employment and consumption power, but it has also brought serious pollution.

In order to develop rapidly, Noah will abolish a series of strict environmental restrictions. Just like their flexible moral bottom line, it is expected to lower the bottom line when necessary.

Powell listened to the brainwashing remarks of the workshop supervisor for more than 20 minutes. Finally, at lunch time, the workers who changed shifts took over his work.

Dragging my tired body, I came to the canteen and queued up.

Soon it was his turn, an aunt who was nearly 300 pounds fat, to put a large spoonful of boiled soybeans, a piece of luncheon meat, a piece of white bread, and a large tomato on a stainless steel plate.

Taking the plate, Powell found a small table and ate silently. He stuck his fork into the large piece of lunch meat and bit into it while suppressing his nausea.

Because the raw materials of these lunch meats were made from pigs infected with swine fever that year, the four major ABCD grain groups did not destroy the pigs infected with swine fever, but froze these pigs.

Then it was secretly mixed into canned meat and ham sausages until it was exposed half a year ago.

But what else can a poor man like Powell eat if he doesn’t eat lunch meat made from sick pigs?

Now they are not living, but surviving. They can only swallow these lunch meats as if they don't see it.

As for the reporter, I heard that he was electrocuted at home after receiving the award.

Powell doesn't want to eat fresh and healthy pork, but what qualifications do low-class people like them have to enjoy clean and healthy food like the big shots? They can only squeeze in as hard as they can.

But they don't know that Noah is already developing a microchip that can be implanted in the cerebral cortex to determine the level of citizens. Once those who do not meet the requirements or have no value, they will be destroyed.

The board of directors of the Noah Society, as well as a group of elite personnel, are preparing to establish some specialized communities and then designate several states as environmental protection zones.

In fact, it is an area specially used to house elites. As for ordinary people, they can only live in industrial areas, mining areas and cities.

This change is actually not unexpected. To some extent, the "caste mentality" within the Noah Society is even worse than that of Tianzhu.

Under the huge pressure of competition and the gradual maturity of technology, the caste ideology of the Noah Society also began to surface.

Poor people like Powell may be destined to be poor throughout their lives.

After having dinner, he was assigned to move things again. As the industry was chasing the recovery of production capacity, there was a shortage of many machines and equipment, and a large amount of manpower had to be used.

But Powell is worried about this, because as industrial production capacity recovers, their jobs will soon be replaced by machines.

But there is nothing he can do. If Noah wants to fully compete with East Asia, they must give up something and can no longer be bound by the previous rules, otherwise they will definitely lose.

Perhaps this is what Ms. Yuan said, a speck of dust of the times is like a mountain when it falls on an individual.

The differences in the world and the way we perceive it are becoming more and more unfamiliar.
