The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 195 Internal Composition of Moon City
Jiang Yu didn't ask too much about the construction progress and plans of Moon City, but he was more interested in things like sharing smart cars:

"I learned about it yesterday. The system implemented in Moon City is somewhat different from that on Earth. Please focus on this."

"Yes." Burton organized his language before saying: "As long as you live in Moon City for a while, you can clearly feel that when you come to space, human beings have undergone some basic changes.

"In an environment like Moon City, the power of one person may affect the safety of the entire Moon City.

"Everyone knows that the external environment here is not suitable for human survival, it seems that the entire space does not welcome human beings.

"Under such circumstances, after the residents come to Moon City, without our training, everyone will soon have enough sense of community.

"The municipal government has easily implemented co-ownership in many places, and it is easier for everyone to accept it."

While talking, Burton asked Jiang Yu to sit down at the table in the Moon City 3D model room and talk.

After the staff served tea, Burton continued: "At the same time, according to the policy you set for Moon City, Moon City has been restricting the power of capital from the very beginning.

"96% of the people in Lunar City are middle class, which is a very healthy value, and we have been maintaining it.

"At the same time, according to another policy you gave to Moon City, 'combination of public and private', we also maintain sufficient private ownership in terms of job benefits, wages, etc., providing certain development momentum for the entire society.

"Especially in terms of foreign trade, in addition to Baker's trade force, there is also our Ministry of Commerce.

"The residents of the moon who are willing to do business can do business in the name of Moon City. The Ministry of Commerce only cares about the strategy, regardless of the specific business behavior.

"According to this management model, it is very difficult for Moon City to have a monopoly, and it is also difficult for commercial forces to affect the political situation of Moon City."

Jiang Yu asked: "With such a strong control over the economy, the businessmen don't have enough sense of superiority. Will this not discourage the enthusiasm of the businessmen?"

"Their sense of superiority can be retrieved from other places." Burton said: "We have not explicitly prohibited the businessmen of Moon City from investing in other Moon cities or Earth.

"Many merchants from Moon City have gone to Earth as investors now. Sending money there is very popular in all countries, and merchants can also find enough sense of superiority in the increasingly difficult Earth."

Jiang Yu asked again: "This way, the funds will not flow out?"

"Don't be afraid!" Burton said: "The bulk commodities on the moon are high-tech products, and they are all manufactured in the technology application area.

"Except for staff and scientific researchers, other lunar citizens cannot enter the confidential area.

"We control the source and technology of the goods, and our Ministry of Commerce will also do business with other countries on a public-to-public basis, and the right to negotiate prices is also in our hands.

"So every business, no matter whether it's done by the Ministry of Commerce or by merchants, the bulk of it is here in Moon City, and even if the funds flow out, it won't hurt the root cause.

"Besides, Moon City makes money for spending, and Bill and the others are not iron-hearted, they can produce scientific research results after eating the money.

"We still need to import experimental materials from various countries, hold academic exchange meetings and so on.

"This is also your third strategy for Moon City: Communicate and not isolate!"

Burton said with a smile: "I lived in China for several years and learned a lot of the essence of Chinese culture.

"Your strategy is very wise. This is the fundamental reason why the West was able to block the Soviet Union but failed to block China in the last century."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Okay! You really didn't disappoint me!"

He thought to himself: The biggest problem with this system is that the government is too powerful. Once problems arise, it is difficult to adjust themselves.

Of course, this is not suitable to say now. Jiang Yu pointed to the 3D model not far away: "I heard your introduction just now and found that there is still a gap in Moon City. You need to fill it up as soon as possible!"

Burton looked straight: "Please tell me."

Jiang Yu looked at the model of Moon City and said, "Moon City still lacks an institution of higher learning!

"Before I came here, I heard that the management talents of the city government are basically transferred from Han Li, and most of the researchers are hired from outside!
"Researchers can be hired outside to a certain extent, but it is best for Lunar City to cultivate its own managers.

"I heard that there are already more than 2000 newborns in Moon City, and we can focus on nurturing them!"

The cultural company on Earth is now in charge of Jiang Yu's subordinate Han Li, along with Burton and Di Fengyi, and has been sending residents and management personnel to Moon City over the years.

Burton nodded: "I see."

Then Jiang Yu asked: "Have you noticed that Bill's scientific team is a little out of control?"

"The infiltration of Moon City by various countries has never stopped." Burton said helplessly: "They not only hope to use scientific researchers to control the decision-making of Moon City, they have also been working hard on the residents of Moon City.

"The citizens of the moon are all sent from Earth's cultural companies, and theoretically they are all your supporters.

"But the Cultural Company is just a company after all, and there is no counter-espionage means at all, so many people from the PDC just entered Moon City.

"I still have a few infiltrations from the residents, and there won't be any big troubles.

"But when I first came to Moon City, it was... and it was too late when I found out."

When Burton came to Moon City, Jiang Yu made a clear statement that he should not intervene in Bill's group, which paved the way for the growth of the Academy of Lunar Science.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I know you're complaining, but I've never been in politics before, and naturally I didn't expect such a situation."

In fact, he did it on purpose. After all, Moon City is considered "overseas alone", and it is impossible to hand over all the power to Burton alone.

At the same time, Jiang Yu gave Di Fengyi enough power in order to form a triangular power relationship headed by Bill, Burton, and Di Fengyi.

Di Fengyi played the role of regulating, smoothing things out, and giving Bill and Burton enough restraint.

It's a pity that Di Fengyi messed up the matter. He took the initiative to ask to go to Mars, which was actually a kind of allocation for himself.

Jiang Yu patted Burton on the shoulder: "You have worked hard during this time. I heard that the Moon Park is very spectacular. Let's go there alone."

No. [-] said: "It's not safe for you to go alone, you should follow two armed policemen."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then you follow, the armed police will forget it."

Among the armed police protecting him, there is no longer a familiar face.

Moon Park is the main tourist project of Moon City, where there are replicas of American and Chinese moon landing sites.

There is also an introduction to the moon landing projects of the two countries. These introductions are projected on the surface of the moon using the latest 3D projection technology.

Other most popular projects are moonwalking, lunar rover driving, visiting craters and so on.

Jiang Yu, Burton, and No. [-] walked on the moon in spacesuits.

The entire universe seems to be the sky of the moon, with the dazzling sun on one side and the abyss-like space on the other.

Earth is in the middle, the brightest pearl in space.

The gray lunar soil under your feet has an endless desolate beauty.

Jiang Yu sighed: "It's so beautiful! I finally jumped from the well to the edge of the well."

Number Three laughed and said, "Your analogy is too demeaning of yourself."

Jiang Yu also smiled: "Turn off the long-wave signal, turn on the short-wave signal, let's talk a few words alone."
