San Antonio, a temporary containment area in the city.
This is a block destroyed by artillery fire. The craters and broken walls are continuous. The broken reinforced concrete is full of devastation. And in this ruin, hundreds of people are busy working.
Bang Bangbang's percussion sounds continued in the containment area, and workers were pushing down the bombed buildings to fill the ground. Due to the lack of various mechanical equipment, a lot of work must be done manually.
Rows of simple houses are being built on the filled ground. These houses are all three-story structures, with only simple bedrooms, toilets, bathrooms and other ancillary facilities specially constructed.
Several workers wearing helmets are wiring inside and outside the house. Most of these are wires, and a few are racks for installing wireless surveillance cameras.
Simon drove pick-up with the SWAT team to patrol the containment area. The reception area in front of him will meet the needs of the temporary residence of about 2,000 people, at least let a lot of people at the bottom of the shack have a secure home.
"The Legion is really different from the Baath Party." Simon chatted with his partner.
"Yeah, it's really different." The partner in the co-pilot was heavily armed with long and short firearms, but he was mentally lazy. Because the public security in the city is much better than it used to be, there is no need for the special police to be highly nervous at all times.
When the ban on guns was first issued, many people were extremely disgusted. People felt that there was no sense of security without guns, and citizens were forced to hand over their weapons. Most people have more than two firearms, even a dozen, and countless ammunition.
Simon has seen various powerful gadgets in the process of collecting weapons. What is a long and short gun? Grenades, bazookas, heavy machine guns are trivial, and some people even hid an ‘Abrams’ main battle tank in their backyard.
Fortunately, the police are now extremely manpower, and the police who have received short training constantly comb all corners of the city, and even use magnetic detectors to find various metal parts everywhere. In addition to cleaning up various shrapnel, there is also a large amount of unexploded ordnance and guns and weapons.
At present, the Legion initially estimates that more than 20 million firearms have been seized, and the number of firearms is greater than the population. Most of these weapons are drained from unattended U.S. military bases. There are many weapons damaged due to poor maintenance, and there are also many usable weapons.
In order to prevent these weapons from escaping again, Zhou Qingfeng had to get an electrolytic furnace to destroy these weapons. Since the weapons were often mixed with ammunition, several electrolysis furnaces were destroyed and many people died.
Such large-scale weapons collections have achieved amazing results. The first point is that police officers like Simon feel that they are safe and their deterrence has increased. They don't need to worry about violent attacks when patrolling, and they don't need to worry about where stray bullets will fly.
Everyone ’s spirits began to relax slowly, anxiety and panic disappeared. This is a rare thing since world's end. Security is invisible and untouchable, but it is a precious necessity in human life.
"X-ray machine, monitor, and strict security." The co-pilot's partner exclaimed: "I now understand why the regimental commander banned guns. This policy makes the city quiet. Too quiet."
Without firearms and weapons that can kill people easily, ordinary people ’s courage will become smaller and their offensiveness will naturally decline. Gunshots no longer sounded at any time in the city, and people were even uncomfortable.
Know that when Baath Party controls San Antonio, people die every day in the city from various shootings. And now ..., a tabloid that was just created in the city is advertised in an awe-inspiring tone-miracle, we have n’t been shot dead for a week in a row.
No one died from the shooting, not only because the weapons were confiscated, but also a bigger reason is that surveillance probes began to spread throughout the city. With this gadget, the police's job is much easier. As soon as something goes wrong, everyone applies to the police data center for playback video on the radio.
Communication base stations all over the city will store everything that happens in every corner in the police data center. Now that there are cases, the police are too lazy to investigate. As long as the key elements of the suspect's height, appearance, and clothing are mastered, intelligent AI will automatically find the suspect.
This is the benefit of the combination of Wasteland's more advanced artificial intelligence and rabbit security system. Zhou Qingfeng even sold dozens of Wasteland supercomputing and intelligent software to rabbits, which made the increasingly scary trade deficit even more smooth.
Because the United States has always emphasized personal privacy, the government cannot arbitrarily spend taxpayers ’money on such a system. The media can also demonize comprehensive security monitoring, and publicize that being monitored is like losing freedom.
Even Simon has always felt that such a powerful monitoring network is terrible, and living in it seems to be stared at by countless eyes. But now that he really experienced the convenience of this network, he actually felt that it was quite boring to be a policeman.
When pick-up of Simon was about to leave the containment area, he yelled into a simple room, "Buffon, how is it going today?"
A young man came out of the bungalow and trot to pick-up and said, "Hello, Officer Simon, nothing happened today, very calm."
The young man named Buffon has a disabled arm and ca n’t do heavy work. In the past, people like him could only make a living by begging and stealing. No one would control him. And if he fails to steal, he will probably die because of a beating.
Now I can have a job as a security officer, which makes Buffon happy. In order to keep this job, he can be described as fulfilling all the tasks assigned by the municipal government.
"Does anyone still have guns privately?" Simon asked.
"I heard that there is a block in the west that is engaged in a black market for firearms. I have been asking who is making trouble these two days?"
"Did anyone disrupt the surveillance network?"
"No, after you took a few saboteurs last time, no one dared to disturb those surveillance cameras anymore. But I have recently heard someone want to do damage by power off, and I am staring at it too. . "
"How many people do n’t like to monitor the network now?"
"Half to half. Some people like it and others don't like it. In general, it doesn't matter how many people are growing."
A few words with Buffon, telling the other party to stare at some destructors, Simon finally drove away from the containment area. He looked back at the area under construction and sighed: "In the past, this kind of containment area must be dirty and chaotic, violent and disgusting."
"He He He ..." The co-pilot's partner said: "Because this kind of place does not charge taxes, the government does not care. But now the rich and poor areas of the city are as safe as we do every day. You have to drive here and shake it.
Those poor ghosts enjoy the treatment of the rich without spending a penny, building houses for them, providing cheap food, convenient transportation, and valuable security, which was unthinkable in the past. Even I feel that the Legion is too good for the poor. "
"Yeah, yeah." Simon sighed: "So the poor are willing to go with the Legion, and the poor are the majority. Just like that Buffon, if the Baath Party fights back, he will definitely resist.
The legion has paid a huge price to capture this majority, and it can use these people, no one in the world can compete with them. "
He can say that he is invincible!
