Chapter 363 – [Mars SimCity Build It]

The punishment part of Zion’s laws has many inhumane parts, but there are understandable parts.

Most of the crimes committed by humans stem from actions to satisfy more money, power, and desire. Livelihood crimes, which are often said, will not happen if food, clothing, and shelter are guaranteed.

And basically, transportation means and most facilities are equipped with artificial intelligence, so there is little room for incidents to occur with human hands. Every car has an automatic driving system, so drunk driving accidents or even original traffic accidents can be prevented in advance.

It is a punishment for those who will cross the line after leaving no room for accidents caused by humans.

“There is no need for mercy for those who do even though I have warned them not to.”

“It sounds obvious. The law is not to be feared by those who abide by it, but to be feared by those who break it.”

“If you commit a crime unjustly and unavoidably, you can fully exercise tolerance for it.”

Horizon’s artificial intelligence is not simple artificial intelligence. It was no different from a personality that had been learning and growing under Zion for hundreds of years.

Even if there is a mechanical aspect that puts Zion’s orders first, on the other hand, there is also a feeling of mercy. What would happen if we left politics to artificial intelligence instead of humans?

Of course, Zion had no intention of doing that. Rule by artificial intelligence will certainly be like a knife, but there is…

“I have no humanity”

“Sounds like no fun”

“Well, that’s true. What humans do is to achieve success and failure, and it’s no longer a situation to touch.”

Even if Zion had already done it, it would take thousands of years for humanity to acquire these technologies. Among them, rather, some transcendentalists also included skills at a level that could not be easily obtained.

“Anyway, construction, laws, resources… After this has been established, what else is needed?”

“You can’t just think of humans.”

“……?”

“Aren’t there any animals?”

“Ah, that’s right”

Of course, it is unreasonable to create an ecosystem in the current situation. There was not enough space for people to use, so it was impossible to build a zoo leisurely when only 100 million out of billions could be obtained.

However, there is a separate facility inside Horizon. It was made to be used as a zoo, but it is empty because no real animals are kept there.

“No, it’s a zoo, so why are there no animals? A Hong-cheol team without Hong-cheol?”

“At first, I tried to raise it, but when I thought about it, I thought it would be better not to raise it at all, considering that we don’t have to go every day and the machine will take care of it.

“Ah, it’s a caution to take responsibility from the beginning or not to raise them at all. Animals are good at communicating.

After terraforming Mars, it is also necessary to restore the ecosystem. Just like Noah’s ark, animals had to be gathered in preparation for it.

“Even if they feed and take care of themselves automatically, there are times when human hands are needed. Computers will explain things like expertise, so let’s choose animal lovers first.”

“Okay. Oh, but you don’t vote for animal lovers just by name, do you?”

“I saved it for the sake of saving it, but the people who euthanize can’t even come here in the first place.”

“But”

Shion turned on the ship’s broadcast as it was.

It is broadcast to every nook and cranny without anyone hearing it through the entire wide horizon.

[This is a guide to Mars migrants who are currently on board the Horizon. If you like animals so much that you feel like you can’t use them all, please come up to the captain’s room right now. I’ll let you know once again……]

After she finished the rerun, Ruri said with a frightened feeling.

“Something like a military message.”

“What are you complaining about if you’re not even a military pencil?”

“I don’t know a military high school girl, a military high school girl !!! Ruri, a military barista, laid down her memory data from her days as a private soldier like a land mine, so she got trauma like her brother for a while!”

“A real military high school girl?!”

“Also, my combat power is 3 times that of an average master user…!!!”

“It’s scarier that it’s not a joke”

It’s like a gag, but the higher the realm, the more important the transcendent is not the size of power, but how to use it. Because there is no power that cannot be controlled.

If Ruri and Baekli fight now, it is certain that Baekli will win, but not overwhelmingly. That was Ruri’s current strength.

Now, without Yong Ha-yeon, together with Heavenly Sword Lee Kyung-jin, it is the master user’s top class!!!

“I… Excuse me. I came here looking for someone who likes animals.”

“Oh, welcome”

During the chatter, the migrants who had been scattered on board came to visit. The number is about ten. There aren’t many, but despite the vague designation, if you’ve come this far, you’re a person who really likes animals.

“First of all, let me ask you a few questions. Like I said on the air earlier, do you like animals?”

“Yes!”

“I really like it too. But I couldn’t raise it because the conditions weren’t good…”

“I used to go to the cat cafe every week!”

“I’m from veterinary school!!!”

“But there are no animals in this zoo…”

“Mmm! Passed!”

I found out through the already recorded personal information, but they are all animal lovers. Some of them even brought their animals to Horizon.

Shion issued several orders to Horizon. I am thinking of bringing in a few pairs of animals currently on Earth to make Noah’s ark in preparation for the destruction of the earth.

“Currently, when I settle down on Mars, I plan to bring animals to create an ecosystem. So, I called you because I needed people to take care of the animals after that.”

“Ah!!!!”

“Which animal is it?”

“I like any animal, when do you start?”

“Ah, but I only like it, but I don’t have any special knowledge…”

Shion shook his head at someone’s question and said.

“The computer will figure out what to pay attention to in the animal’s ecology. You just have to take care of the animals so they don’t get stressed out.”

“Hmm……”

“Hey, it’s a wild animal and there must be a beast, so isn’t it dangerous?”

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll give you a separate lightweight suit for the zookeeper. Even if it’s not for combat, it boasts specs and durability that can hit even an elephant, so you don’t have to worry about getting hurt while working.”

The powered suit made by Shion’s determination and technological prowess is enough to conquer the earth with just one. It has durability that can withstand nuclear bombs and adjusts gravity to lift hundreds or thousands of tons of weight, and is even equipped with crazy weapons that penetrate even air defense shelters and destroy the interior.

However, on the contrary, if such technology is lightweight, it can be made to have the power to wrestle with an elephant even with the thickness of a shirt at most. So there is no need to worry about getting hurt by a beast.

“Right now, we’re still building it, but if it starts to stabilize later, we’ll recognize you as official keepers and give you a salary. To be honest, even though it’s unpaid work right now…”

“Ugh, if you give me a job later and give me money, we’ll be grateful.”

Making money doing what you love can be difficult on the one hand, but it will be rewarding.

Besides, food, clothing, and shelter are all settled now, and there is no money spent on leisure life, but rather, the job as a zookeeper was a change of mood.

“And the person who just said he graduated from veterinary school. Your name is…Park Jae-kyung?”

“Yes!”

“You probably know more than other people, so please give instructions to those who followed, and if you have any complaints during work, please tell me in general.”

“Uh…Me?”

“It’s a role like a middle manager, but wouldn’t it be better for someone with ability to do it?”

It’s better to be managed by someone with minimal basic knowledge than someone who doesn’t know anything. You need to develop your ability to deal with people gradually.

“…….Yes, I understand”

“Then I’ll leave it to you. The animals will be transported right away, so please go to the facility. There, the artificial intelligence will tell you what to do separately, so don’t worry too much.”

The prospective breeders left the captain’s room as they were. Although each of them has a different personality, they set off to the facility with a feeling of excitement or turmoil.

Before long, in the captain’s room, which was quiet again, Ruri quietly muttered.

“Would you like to encourage that older brother? It seems likeheheard the same thing.”

“No way, it wasn’t to that extent.”

“Still, it’s honestly a bitch that an animal lover can earn money while working as a comfortable zookeeper.”

Not giving money even if you like something is nothing more than a passion pay, but if the thing you like is easy, the holidays are guaranteed, and everything you need is given, it is rather a hobby.

In addition, it is only that they cannot give money because the currency cannot be established, but it is not that they do not give. Afterwards, when the currency is established, Shion intends to pay the overdue wages as well.

“And now let’s think about the economics as well”

“Aaaaa!!! That’s not my area of ​​expertise!”

“Why are you like that when you have a good head?”

“Even Newton said that human madness is incalculable. Can’t you see Bitcoin?”

“It’s predictable. The economy is nothing more than a numbers game and a battle of wits,” He said.

“Aliens do not know the human heart…!!!”

When a society is established, the economy that runs it is also important. If the economy collapses, as in Zimbabwe, money could become nothing more than scraps of paper.

“But what are you going to do with the currency? Gold is meaningless anyway.”

The basis of human reserve currency is gold.

So, I wondered if the price of gold on Earth was falling because of the golden castle that the Great King used to live on Earth, and the Great Depression was coming, but the Great Kings did not intend to scatter the gold, so the crisis was over.

But that’s the story on Earth. The value of gold was meaningless in the yard where Zion’s technology, like the Great King, could capture and mine asteroids made of countless gold and diamonds in outer space.

“Actually, trying to create an economic society is the bare minimum. It’s for tax purposes.”

“Taxes? A society where you can play, eat and live, but taxes?”

“Certainly, if you say food, clothing and shelter and freedom of leisure life, there will be people who find other things to do productive things, but on the contrary, there may be people who play and eat until they die like human garbage.

The minimum line to stop such people is taxes.”

“Hmm…… It’s not a tax collected to run the country in the first place, so it’s nominal.”

In the first place, Zion has no intention of collecting a lot of taxes. It’s because it’s the last line left to do something productive at least.

If you have to pay taxes, you probably need money, and then you have to work. But that doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to do something you don’t like. He earns money through positive productive activities while doing what he loves.

“I will accept any occupation as a productive activity, from gamer, YouTuber, or AV actor to prostitution.”

“Isn’t the last thing called sexual commercialization? It would be hard to accept from a general ethical point of view, right?”

“Apart from that, prostitution is one of the oldest human occupations. It’s best to keep it legal.”

No matter how strict the law is, there will always be people who break it, unless they forcefully follow the law by implanting a chip in their brains.

Even if prostitution is illegal, there will eventually be people who do it. Then it’s better to make it legal and control it well.

“But think about it. Who’s willing to sell their bodies when you’re guaranteed food, clothing, and shelter and you can enjoy your leisure life, so you’re not desperate? If you like sex, that’s a different story.”

“There is a point. Anyway, let’s decide on a key currency. What are you going to make a currency based on? It has to be worth it. Are you going to go with electronic money?”

“That’s not bad either”

I have a highly advanced technology, but I still don’t carry a wallet around. In the first place, in the world these days, banking and card payments are possible with just one cell phone, so there are people who only carry one cell phone.

“……Hmm, thinking about it, gold wouldn’t be bad either.

“But since gold can be mined, it’s not particularly valuable… Oh, that’s it. The golden castle that the worst king of demons has built up!!”

“It is an object imbued with his authority, so it is limited and clearly distinguishable.”

If it were a simple lump of gold, inflation would occur as it was mined and increased, but the golden castle touched by Utopia is an object of his power.

As long as the person himself does not touch and increase the gold, that gold does not exist in this world other than that. Even compared to the entire universe.

On the one hand, that gold is also valuable to transcendentalists. Those who conduct science or magic research will have the opportunity to study the authority of Utopia, a higher transcendental entity.

“Besides, we can definitely monopolize that gold. We’re the only ones who know the location, and since it’s a lump, less than a ton of gold is released on the market.”

“I will be able to exercise my authority as a government enough.”

“That’s not a bad idea. Trust in currency is certain. It’s different from normal gold, so people will understand.”

“All that remains is the name of the currency…Well, let’s just call it UG. Utopia Gold.”

“But can I use English? It’s a new civilization, so there’s no need to use English, right?”

“Isn’t it creepy to say ‘remains’ in Korean? And since there is an interpreter, there is no problem with the language barrier.”

“I learned English for nothing!!! No, if I had known it would be like this, I would have failed the exam in the first place!!!!”

Ruri cried out in lamentation.

I’ve been working for a while, so it’s time for a short break. Shion told Horizon to order coffee and some snacks.

“Don’t you have a snack?”

“…….It’s okay. My efforts in studying for the CSAT so far have come to fly along with the destruction of the earth.

Shion pointed to the crackers and cone-shaped something on the tea table.

“That’s moon cheese”

“No, damn there’s moon cheese?! You have to eat this!!!!”

Ruri ran like a ghost.

Moon cheese is a big problem!!
