Around three in the morning, the Security Department received the most ridiculous task.
Three common thieves broke into the Rich District, committing murder and robbery.
And they're even live streaming!
"Really, they've got guts!"
"What kind of stuff is this, are they crazy?"
"Is anyone in management hurt?"
"The Energy Director of the Community Resource Production Department was captured, he's being roasted."
"What! This is a provocation to our Security Department!"
The Security Department was furious, knowing their bonuses for the year were all gone.
They immediately dispatched a team of thirty True Elephant Level experts, rushing to the scene.
While on the way, they kept watching the live stream.
In the live room, Xiaoye, in a beautifully rendered dress, was listing the extravagant lifestyle of the Energy Director of the Resource Production Department.
"Everyone, look, this is his weekly resource report."
"Just the Energy Center of Suihuang Community alone produces 48 trillion kilowatts of electricity and various batteries each week."
"I won't mention the others, but let me talk about the Holy Fire Level Cold Nuclear Fusion Batteries, one community AI factory can produce 500 thousand units weekly! Per week! What a concept!"
"Everyone knows, the Holy Fire Level Batteries, when fully charged, can power normal household appliances at full power for 7,000 hours! And to recharge, you just need to fill it with water."
"A community's mechanical factory can equip everyone in the community with Holy Fire Level Batteries in two weeks."
"And in two months, it can equip everyone in Chaoge City! Everyone!"
"But these batteries, they're selling to us for 400,000 credit points, forcing us to save for ten years without eating or drinking! Leaving us to use wireless transmission, paying for transmission bills monthly."
"They pile so many batteries in their warehouses, digging new ones underground every week, but they won't distribute them."
Xiaoye spoke passionately and excitedly, presenting extremely detailed report data.
For a moment, the bullet screen exploded.
Initially, many were criticizing Xiaoye and Zou Ming and others, as this was public crime, extremely vile.
But as data was uncovered from the Energy Director's home, everyone was dumbfounded.
Shocked to the point of being stunned, including Xiaoye herself and even Gao Xin, who hadn't realized a community's productivity could be so high before revealing these things.
Underground, there's a vast AI factory, fully AI industry, giant enterprise staff just go to pick up goods.
Churning out products day and night, just energy alone, in two months, could bring energy freedom to the whole city!
But since the factory was established, twenty years have passed, and over eighty percent of the population still can't access these 'self-sufficient' Cold Nuclear Fusion Batteries and have to pay monthly superconductivity energy bills.
Such a frightening data contrast directly caused everyone's blood pressure to soar in the live stream room.
Because it's just so everyday, the contrast in productivity compared to their life is shocking.
Things in this era consume a massive amount of energy, even though electricity is cheap, they still spend a quarter of their credit points monthly on energy bills.
So the revelation is, twenty years ago, humans could've had energy freedom already?
Actually, in the early days when the city was just built, reports said Emperor Ran's invention with Cold Nuclear Fusion had already brought energy freedom to humanity.
But later in everyday life, people didn't feel it…
So gradually, no one brought it up anymore.
And all the rebels who once mentioned it, were sent to Crime Prison Island.
The Jiyi Army had been promoting, but their propaganda was too poor, secluded in a corner, couldn't provide specific data, only saying the giant enterprises control unimaginable production data.
But since it's unimaginable, naturally it seemed vague, even if people knew, they didn't think it was this outrageous.
After chatting over tea, at most discussion was 'If the energy of the nobility were given to us, at least half the energy bill, maybe only a tenth would remain', such talk like the emperor using a golden hoe.
Never imagined, they didn't need energy bills at all.
One community actually could support all humanity, and there are over 40,000 such communities globally!
That's not even counting undisclosed secret AI industrial zones… The production capacity is exaggeratedly large.
Never seen the sun, naturally can endure the darkness. They originally thought they were doing quite well, having food, drinks, and entertainment.
But once they saw this, they realized what kind of life they were actually living.
They were like living primitive lives in the industrial era.
"Burn him! Burn him!"
The bullet screen was filled with anger; the number of viewers surged every second.
Zou Ming's bio-flames publicly burned the director as if refining oil, until death.
Then he picked up a Trident found in the warehouse and tore everything open.
The camera scanned across the dazzling goods in the warehouse, from basic materials, various nano-transformational clothes, to finely made AI furniture, countless fully automated intelligent devices, and all kinds of medicines, food, piled high.
Holy Fire Level Cold Nuclear Fusion Batteries stacked like chips, shining brightly.
And this is just a home storage of an Energy Director, already making citizens in the live stream feel like it's a national storage.
"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, is this really a household warehouse in a mansion?"
"Whose home piles up so many nano-materials?"
The bullet screen questioned, amazed and unable to understand why a household needs so much stockpile?
Xiaoye didn't understand either, but under Gao Xin's reminder, Zou Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Because here is a versatile nano 3D printer, able to print any B-level items at home, as long as there are raw materials."
"Can even be customized, or let the intelligent housekeeper help design, theoretically any medium or small object can be printed."
Once these words were said, the live room roared.
Any B-level item, including custom demands?
C-level items are all they need for everyday intelligent furniture, appliances, and devices.
It even includes everything human civilization once had before this era.
The so-called intelligent devices are tools with low-level artificial intelligence, containing an 'Intelligent Mechanism Module', but lacking true AI consciousness.
Although the intelligence is low-level, they can work automatically as long as they receive instructions.
Theoretically, an AI with self-awareness can control a large number of intelligent devices, with no upper limit as long as the computing power is sufficient.
Right now, the printer in this supervisor's house can print one Intelligent Mechanism Module per second, as long as there is nano material.
Various everyday intelligent devices are really worthless, yet they are blatantly sold in the store.
Items needed for photography, livestreaming, and internet access cost them several months' credit points.
"Boom!"
The old man was enraged, wearing the crimson armor found in the warehouse, and smashed the superconductive base of the Floating Island with his gauntlet. The island immediately started smoking and slowly descended.
"Go and take it! The things here are endless!"
A Floating Island fell, crashing to the ground.
Immediately, many people rushed out from the giant skyscraper towards the crash site.
Not to mention anything else, even picking up a Cold Nuclear Fusion Battery would be quite a profit, saving on energy bills for a hundred years.
Such an allure is enough to make the residents of Chaoge City muster up the courage and take risks.
It's impossible to expect them to rebel, but they have the courage to grab valuable goods amid chaos, and quite a lot of it.
But outsiders are distressed, as they can only watch.
They also crazily urged Xiaoye to keep livestreaming: "Xiaoye is awesome!"
"Hurry! Go to the next house! I want to see more!"
"Is there a home of the Intelligent Machinery supervisor? I want to know the actual cost of Mechanical Servants!"
"What about the Vehicle Director? Surely the flying motorcycles aren't cheap? It took me five years to buy one."
"What about personal exoskeleton mechas? I've wanted a set for a long time."
From fear and disgust to now eagerly wishing the broadcaster to raid the next house, once the information cocoon is broken, countless people are eager to learn more.
They want to know what kind of era they are living in.
Is it possible that everything they thought was precious should be easily obtainable?
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The old man carried Xiaoye and took off, heading to the next house.
In his silver-white exoskeleton, Zou Ming, surrounded by biological flames, fought fiercely against a group of Security Department elites.
Those at the Tiger Level were insignificant, swept away by his frenzied dance.
Occasionally a strong Elephant Level person, too, was blasted into chunks from a distance, their head tossed before the nobles.
This was another house of a supervisor-level figure, who shouted with false bravado: "How dare you rebel!"
"I advise you to surrender quickly, or you'll die without a burial!"
But Zou Ming ignored him, only suspending him for roasting.
He charged into the hall with bloodshot eyes and took over the intelligent butler.
When Xiaoyuan took control of everything and data appeared, Zou Ming's head buzzed even more.
Xiaoye shouted, "This is the Construction Director of Suihuang Community, according to the report, the AI factory can produce 1.2 billion tons of single-wall carbon nano materials every week!"
"There are other nano materials, special alloys, and superconducting materials, each with a production of over 100,000 tons!"
"Everyone knows that carbon nano materials are the primary materials for all C-class nano products."
"A community's weekly output can supply the clothing, furniture, and building needs of millions in the entire city..."
"If 40,000 communities worldwide had the same output, that's 60 trillion tons! With six billion people globally, that's an average of 1,000 tons of nano materials per week per person!"
The data of 1,000 tons of nano materials per week per person exploded the minds of the people in the livestream.
Many of them had limited education and truly didn't know that the giant enterprises already held the means of production, directly able to create these nano materials from rocks.
The entire Earth is a 'Carbon Ball', and carbon resources are tremendously abundant.
Other materials, though not needing as many resources as carbon, are mainly composed of silicon, aluminum, calcium, iron, and other abundant elements.
In Gao Xin's reminder, Zou Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Elements between carbon and iron in the atomic sequence can all be converted through nano-technology, but it requires a massive amount of energy..."
"And there's plenty of energy!"
Xiaoye looked at the data, covering her mouth and said, "These materials are massively produced every moment. Besides a part entering the market, most are buried underground as foundation fill."
"They don't use them at all, just keep manufacturing."
"If the reserves in these warehouses were used to build houses, everyone could have large flying vehicles, personal mechas, and floating mansions."
Countless people in the livestream felt their minds collapse.
Many high-end nano materials can actually just be synthesized from carbon.
A sleek flying vehicle weighs only one or two tons, a futuristic personal mecha about ten tons, a luxurious yacht a few dozen tons, and a magnificent floating mansion a few hundred tons, all of which can be mass-produced.
Yet they live in a giant skyscraper, with over a million people crammed into one building.
However, some people raised doubts: "How can there be so many resources?"
"Doesn't that mean 60 trillion tons of material would be consumed over twenty years?"
"The Earth only has a mass of 60 billion billion tons, did they dig through the Earth?"
These numbers clearly defy logic.
But most people didn't study, and don't care where the materials come from.
"It must have been mined from alien planets; the giant enterprises must have mastered interstellar travel technology."
"They can already roam the universe, while we are cramped in a few hundred square foot apartments."
"Burn it! Burn it!"
