Chapter 45 – Complete Leadership
[Hello? Nice to see you!]
Our last member was the lively type.
[It’s Kids!]
Her cyber face on the screen of the central control room was a girlish look.
Her voice is overflowing with energy with a girlish beauty.
[I am in charge of managing residents.]
Central Control AI Artemis, who has been with me from the beginning.
Rose, the security manager, wakes up as the infection breaks out.
As the factory starts operating, Chloro, the material manager, wakes up.
Unlike the three above, Kids, who are in charge of managing residents, had no choice but to remain in a dormant state.
As a system administrator, I am an exception because I am classified separately from the general residents.
Then, as a large number of residents came in through Exodus, she was also released from her dormant state.
“What exactly is resident management?”
A hand popped up from the screen and touched her chin.
[It’s too broad an area to be specific. Would it be similar to what an officer in the military does? Those that feed, clothe, identify needs and dissatisfaction, and seek ways to resolve them. If it’s simple, it’s simple, but if you try hard, it’s a kind of work that ends up disappearing.]
In an open city, even if the state indirectly manages citizens’ food, clothing and shelter, it is their responsibility anyway, and the same goes for happiness and dissatisfaction.
However, closed-circulation cities are different.
There are restrictions on ways to change your mood, such as overseas travel, riding, driving, visiting restaurants, watching sports, hiking, and bathing in the sea.
Residents have to solve these problems with limited resources in a limited area. Observance of tight rules unique to closed cities is a bonus.
As a result, if the residents’ desires, happiness and dissatisfaction are neglected, it is perfect for riots.
It is similar to a construction management simulation game. Maintain sufficient leisure & entertainment facilities, and actively engage in the happiness and unhappiness of residents.
However, there is no such thing as building a Colosseum like in a game, so the level of dissatisfaction goes down right away, so it takes a lot of work.
Of course, these are stories when dealing with residents who have officially moved in and can exercise their rights to some extent.
Currently, the difficulty of managing this city is very easy compared to the game.
[People can’t live on rice alone, right? Enjoy entertainment, relieve stress, and live moderately like that.]
“In a word, it is to improve the overall quality of life of the residents?”
[Exactly, it’s slightly different. The goal set for me is not to increase gradual happiness, but to prevent dissatisfaction from exceeding a certain level.]
“You don’t have to make me happy, just take care of it so there are no riots?”
[Exactly! Is it a bit too much? But what? If it’s from above, it should be.]
“I am not particularly surprised. That’s how those nobles are.”
As a system administrator, I had to deal with those high-ranking people from time to time during the construction process.
Most of it was via video link, but only those who didn’t see humans as humans.
Maybe, it’s because they’re that kind of people, maybe they were able to build such a ridiculous city.
“Have you finished saying hello to the other kids?”
[No, I just greeted the manager as soon as I woke up. Oh, but everyone has arrived. It seems to be waiting for our conversation to end.]
As soon as she finished speaking, all the members appeared on the screen in the central control room. Finally, a complete management team was formed.
[Welcome.]
Artemis said.
[You will be in charge of mediating small disputes, except for cases that have a major impact on the city.]
[I will work hard!]
Kids nodded politely.
I once talked to Artemis about the new residents, and she was basically laissez-faire.
It’s not because it’s annoying, but it seems that it’s not dignified to be directly involved in human life.
She said, of course, that she would come forward when the order of the city or our authority were threatened.
It was also to protect the rights and interests, but that was not all.
‘It’s a pretty enjoyable pastime to throw a mace at foolish behavior.’
She is truly a terrifying goddess.
[Welcome. We probably have a lot of work to do.]
Said Rose.
Kids in charge of residents’ lives and Rose in charge of public order. Their work is complementary to each other.
[It’s not just Rose. I am business related to everyone here.]
Kiz winked.
[Because in order to raise a human being, you have to take care of everything. There are many things we need, and many things to guide us. In fact, it is more difficult to raise adults than children. Even the ones here are mean adults!]
Raise an adult…
[Welcome.]
Chloro said.
[Ah, Chloro. I appropriately send people up, and Chloro starts the factory to send materials down. We must continue this cycle harmoniously. I hope to go along well.]
[Please take good care of me too. But there’s nothing to worry about. We have enough supplies and few people. Compared to the number of people who should have come in, it’s only a handful. Let’s do our best so that everyone in the city can live happily without lack!]
[It’s everyone’s happiness… That’s a wonderful mindset.]
Kiz let out a strange laugh and muffled her words.
“It feels like a real city now.”
Abundant material.
Facilities and systems for self-sufficiency.
Enough people.
Individual management AIs to deal with them effectively.
“Artemis, open the screen of the prisoner’s residence.”
The prisoner quarantine area appeared on a screen divided into 9 grids.
Wherever you look, you can feel the vitality.
It is difficult to find the women who wore resignation and lethargy all over their bodies in the marine prison.
It’s not that we’re showing lively and bright images, but this is a big change.
The first screen is inside the accommodation.
In the video, the women are in groups of two or three, chatting, sleeping, or stretching.
Among them, there are women who are stretching their hands on their knees, lying on their stomachs as if they had learned yoga outside.
There is a group of people doing Pilates a little further away. Lie down on her arm pillow, lift her knees and stretch her legs alternately.
If you look closely, it is a structure where one or two people teach the rest.
He seems to have been a lecturer before joining Bread, but it seems that he is donating his talent for free. Be unique too
In any case, it is a story that they regained their composure enough to share their skills and hobbies when they were in the outside world.
The second screen is the restaurant.
I am busy cleaning and tidying up as if my duty has already been set. You can also see people holding hand towels and wiping the table.
[There were quite a few Vietnamese nationals among the prisoners, and some of them were assigned as assistant cooks in the restaurant. Most of them worked as restaurant workers outside.]
“Good job. Even if you don’t know about food or resources, you need to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible in things that can be solved with labor. However, wouldn’t it be dissatisfying to work alone while others are playing?”
[It’s okay, because the reward is enough to ask you to do it. When the announcement was made, there were so many applicants that it had to be selected.]
The screen changed to show a certain place.
There, under the supervision of a security robot, there were women holding a cigarette in one hand and a beer can in the other.
Is it thanks to the surveillance of the sad robot?
Not one of them spit on the ground. When I robbed the cigarette ash, I came to the trash can in the center and robbed it carefully.
Dozens of people were smoking, but the floor was clean.
It is truly an amazing sight. I have never seen such a beautiful smoking scene in my life.
When I manipulated the touch panel to enlarge the screen, the women’s faces could be seen properly.
Each and every one of them has an ecstatic expression.
His face is so loose that he wonders if he is smoking marijuana rather than cigarettes.
“Is it that delicious?”
I’ve never smoked.
[I smoked it out of curiosity, but I can feel the scent, but I don’t know what the taste is like. Is it because your body can’t absorb nicotine?]
Chloro said.
“You didn’t give me the cigarette pack, did you?”
[Of course, I paid one for each smoker. I can give you more if you want, but personal cigarettes are prohibited. Just as we decided.]
I nodded my head at Artemis’ answer.
The third screen is the communal bathroom.
Women with their pants up to their knees and their tops up to their elbows are walking around barefoot doing simple tidying up and cleaning with drains.
The fourth is the treatment wing.
Patients are coming, so perhaps they paid attention to their own emotional considerations.
White unified wallpaper and floor tiles.
Luxurious looking sofa, interior made of wood.
There are flower pots with orchids, and music seems to be playing.
Compared to hospitals in the original world, there seems to be almost no difference.
However, there was a difference that the subject of treatment was all medical robots.
Unlike the security robot, it has a round impression, a white and green color combination, and a green cross mark on its chest and shoulders.
“Doctor?”
Looking closely, I see two women in doctor’s coats.
[Do Yeon-hee. 29 years old. 10 years in prison for violating medical law, attempting to destroy evidence, and attempting to bribe an investigator.]
She is a woman with long hair who looks intelligent. Her thin glasses with her gold straps look good on her.
“How about the other one?”
[Yuna Kim. 27 years old. This is not a prisoner She’s a public health doctor and she’s on duty at a maritime prison.]
This is a woman with bobbed hair who looks somewhat gloomy. She is wearing her horn-rimmed glasses.
[Both volunteered to see medical practice. It would be more comfortable to work there than to sweat and roll over. You will be able to feel the fidelity of the past again.]
In other screens, women were either working or taking a break.
“The prison guards?”
The screen changes to show a small area set up next to the prisoner quarantine area.
Here too, there are temporary buildings and a fence surrounds them, but there is no oppressive atmosphere.
The height of the fence is the same as that of the wall, so it is actually used to inform the residents of the interior, and electricity does not flow.
On the screen, I could see Se-yeong calling out what appeared to be high-ranking prison guards and instructing them to do something.
Even though it was just released without any special touch, it seems that it is already creating a self-regulated life.
“I will have to call the representatives soon. We have something to talk about in our future life.”
[Shall we make a schedule?]
Artemis said.
“Please.”
[The prisoner profile isn’t enough yet. After monitoring the lifestyle a bit more, I will select and report on a small number of noteworthy people.]
I nodded and looked around at the other three.
“Any other questions?”
Chloro, Rose, and Kids all answered no.
So our first meeting was over.
For some reason, it feels like going back to the days when I was a company commander in the past.
Meeting with the platoon commanders, receiving reports, and supervising the lives of the members under his command.
What would you think if you saw me then and now?
‘My God, commanding 2,500 women! Long live!’
Are you saying the same stupid thing?
I manipulated the touch panel to enlarge Seyoung’s appearance.
You can see a woman comforting her while reading her shoulder. At the same time, he even gave brief instructions to another woman who came to visit him. A strong and bold look.
I spent time in the central control room, where I was left alone, checking the camp.
It was just a look at people’s normal daily lives, but in itself it’s fun beyond measure.
Hot.
I grabbed my hand and opened it again.
All you see are fingers.
If you turn your gaze, you can see the lives of numerous residents floating on the screen of the central control room.
Whatever you command by extending your finger to any one area will be fulfilled.
“This city is in my hands.”
Buildings to be built for them, tasks to be assigned, new rules to be enacted are piled up.
It is a huge workload, and at the same time, it is also a responsibility for countless lives.
But now, I wanted to fully focus on the exhilaration that enveloped me.
