This city is called Bucks City. In the module of the unified conglomerate that rules the continent, it is a base for the production of bicycle parts. Every day, a large number of containers loaded with various bicycle parts are transported to assembly centers in various places through railway lines.
Lu Ming was assigned to the 29th Factory Police Station. The entire 29th Factory has more than 10,000 workers and their families producing bicycle wheel spokes.
They are said to be family members, but in fact they are also workers of the factory. The family home is located in the factory area, and the police station is next to the factory gate. The police station is right at the entrance.
It looks like a green military camp. Obviously, in this efficiency-oriented society, the military and police have no separation at all.
The police are soldiers. The United Conglomerate no longer has enough enemies to threaten itself on this continent, but there are also resistance forces that secretly want to overthrow the current system.
The person who led Lu Ming was an old police officer in his fifties with light brown hair and a hooked nose. His official name was Police Officer 29075.
Lu Ming also has a new name, Police 29036. The old police officer was very nice, and he would answer whatever Lu Ming asked.
Lu Ming relies on himself
"Amnesia" and the fact that he was not a wanted criminal, he asked a lot of questions. Later, in the library, Lu Ming took a thick copy of the Police Code and looked through it.
In this world, probably for the sake of efficiency, police officers are not only soldiers, but also represent the entire judicial system. From trial to conviction and punishment, everything is executed by the police station.
Twenty-ninth Factory Police Station has one hundred police officers. Basically, the ratio of civilians to military police in this world is one hundred to one.
There is no concept of week in this world's time. A month has thirty-six days, including thirty working days and six rest days.
During the thirty-day working day, workers and their families in factories in each area are strictly prohibited from leaving the factory area.
During the six-day rest day, it is strictly forbidden to leave the city alone. Only with group approval can organized outings be allowed.
Only then did Lu Ming understand why Police 29036 could become his name, because as long as he did not leave this city, the name would be unique.
Leaving the city is also a collective action. Just add the suffix of Bucks City in front of it. It is also unique in the entire continent.
Lu Ming was alone in the library. Because he was a new police officer, he had a three-day learning and adaptation period. At almost noon, veteran police officer Ling Qiwu came in.
"Zero Sanliu, I'll take you to get familiar with the canteen!" Lu Ming nodded. The factory area is very clean. The police officers dine in the fourth restaurant and are clearly distinguishable from the workers dining here.
Soft seats, white round tables, and a very good cafeteria environment, similar to mid-range restaurants in the old world. The food is also very rich, with chicken, duck, and fish, but the portion is not large, just enough for one person.
"I'll give you the medium portion. If it's not enough, I'll give you a large portion next time. But if you ask for a large portion, the junior police officer's extra monthly allowance will be gone." The old police officer was very enthusiastic.
Lu Ming already knew that this world basically distributes various materials according to occupation and occupational level. As a junior police officer, in addition to eating in the canteen for free, there is also an additional supply of sugar, milk, alcohol, etc. every month, as well as a small amount of additional currency.
Cigarettes require currency to purchase. In addition, junior police officers can own bicycles, watches and electric fans after two years.
If you can't advance from junior police officer, that's it for the rest of your life. If you can be promoted to a middle police officer, you can be assigned to a television set two years from the day you are promoted to a middle police officer, and after another two years, you can be assigned to a refrigerator.
If you stay as a mid-level police officer, you will still be allocated these things, but as the years go by, more currency will be issued.
If you can be promoted to a senior police officer, you can own a car in five years. Special police officers, from the day they are promoted, can own air conditioners, color TVs and other high-end appliances, and even own their own helicopters.
However, looking at veteran police officer Ling Qiwu, he is still a middle-level police officer, and the cafeteria is full of junior police officers and middle-level police officers. It seems that the director is also a middle-level police officer. It is difficult for senior police officers to be promoted, let alone special police officers. Member.
There are also shops in this world, but they only buy small groceries, food, candy, cigarettes, etc. as extra supplements for those who have preferences.
The biggest items are electric fans, watches, etc. Although they are also allocated, if they are not allocated, you can still buy them if you have enough money.
It seems that this world is still very good from a material perspective. Moreover, people here retire at the age of sixty and provide collective pension. After retirement, they will be sent to a retirement city. It is said to be a paradise life.
Patients are also treated free of charge, but it seems that the medical level is not very good and the mortality rate is very high. Lu Ming really didn't believe that under today's technological conditions, absolute collective control could be so abundant and provide unified care for the elderly. It simply overturned his cognition.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ming felt something. He turned around and saw, sure enough, two tables away, a young police officer was staring at him unkindly.
Lu Ming was suddenly startled. The number on the other party's police uniform was exactly the same as his own, which was also 29036.
"Oh, you noticed!" The old police officer sitting next to Lu Ming patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.
"You have to work hard these three months. You and he are in a competitive relationship. Because you suddenly joined after recovering from illness, this police station also has to reduce the number of one police officer. He is the lowest rated police officer and has been with you for three months. During the competition period, within these three months, whoever of you gets a higher score will be eliminated." Lu Ming felt a little uneasy and asked, "What does elimination mean?" It feels like in this society, the eliminated parts, Is it more efficient to destroy it directly?
The old police officer said: "The test will be rescheduled according to his wishes and he will compete for new positions. Generally speaking, this kind of competition occurs during the graduation period after the New Year. However, according to the population increase and decrease rate, the headquarters has already made arrangements. If The number of people in need of employment greatly exceeds the number of retirees. There will be expanded new positions, new production lines, etc., and the competition will not be too fierce." Lu Ming nodded silently.
"You, try not to ask these questions to others in the future, and talk less." The old police officer lowered his voice.
"Although the doctor has diagnosed you with amnesia, you don't seem to understand the most basic social common sense. You are surprised by a lot of common sense, and you seem to be resistant. You will be regarded as a different person. You are now a police officer. "Commissioner, it's better to say something. If it were from other professions, it would be easy for us to label it as 'alienated parts' in the file, which would be bad." Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Yes, I understand, Master, thank you." Although in any society, every individual is actually a small part in a huge social machine, but a culture that accepts it calmly is truly alien.
"Don't scream..." The old police officer lowered his voice, but when he looked at Lu Ming, there was a hint of kindness in his eyes.
I've probably never been called this before. There are terms like master, but for the interpersonal relationships here, I don't know why the ancient mainland culture created this term.
