Chapter 008 Experience Store Location Selection
The next morning, Chen She, along with Zhang Sirui and two rebel soldiers disguised as employees, took an ordinary commercial bulletproof car to investigate the location of the Super Dream Experience Store.
Of course, before setting off, Chen She asked Zhang Sirui about the safety of this trip for safety reasons.
The answer is that it is basically foolproof.
On the one hand, although armed conflicts often break out in the wilderness of this world, it is relatively safe in big cities like Dawn City. There will be no large-scale armed conflicts, only some violent crimes by small gangsters.
Zhang Sirui's combat power is at least four or five levels higher than those gangsters who have just been injected with genetic drugs and undergone body transformation.
Before these people could threaten Chen She, Zhang Sirui had already locked his gun on them.
Of course, some big chaebols, such as the Fujido Group, have some experts, but at present there is no substantial conflict between these chaebols and the Chen Group.
Under the protection of the "Special Law on Enterprises", the possibility of the Chen Group being attacked without declaration or being plotted against in Dawn City is extremely low.
This is also the reason why Fujido Yuki dared to personally go to the Chen Group headquarters to discuss cooperation.
However, for the sake of safety, Chen She did not take the more convenient floating car, but took a commercial bulletproof car.
For most consortiums, the hovercraft serves as a facade that can demonstrate the consortium's strength.
These hovercrafts are very beautiful in appearance and very fast, the only drawback is that they are expensive.
Not only is the vehicle itself expensive, but most hovercrafts require a certain amount of space-time particles as fuel. During normal driving, they cost much more money than ordinary vehicles.
Any company that can afford a hovercraft is no small player.
But Chen She’s current goal is to keep a low profile. His current identity is not the president of the Chen Group, but the founder of a startup company called Lishan Technology.
Chen She believed that the biggest threat to him now was not the small hooligans and street gangs who were motivated by wealth, but the real big chaebols like the Fujido Group.
So it’s better to keep a low profile.
Although it is a commercial bulletproof car, the vehicles in this world are obviously different from the vehicles in Chen She's previous life.
In addition to thicker armor and better safety performance, almost all vehicles in the world are equipped with high-level autonomous driving functions, which generally do not require human intervention during normal driving.
Of course, the driver's seat still retains the steering wheel, accelerator, brake and other corresponding configurations. This is mainly to facilitate the occupants to take over the vehicle in some special circumstances.
The genetic technology and mechanical prosthetic modification technology in this world are relatively advanced. After being modified, some people will have very high driving skills.
Chen She looked out the window. This was the first time he left the Chen Group headquarters since he traveled through time.
The headquarters of the Chen Group is located on the edge of the third satellite city of Liming City. One needs to pass through the expressway connecting Liming City and the satellite city to reach the outskirts of Liming City.
Chen She once had a question: Why are the vast majority of the world's population concentrated in a few large cities, while the wilderness seems to contain endless dangers?
Yesterday he carefully reviewed the relevant information and finally figured out the answer to this question.
Chen She looked at his bracelet and the time on it showed it was Saturday, February 8, 153 of the Silver Star Calendar.
153 years ago, great changes that were later called "space-time events" occurred in most parts of the world.
Time snow began to fall from the sky, accelerating the passage of time and the corrosion of materials. Many space-time cracks and dangerous space-time creatures also appeared.
The entire human society suffered a devastating disaster. The survivors protected their super-large cities through a special energy shield, while the areas that could not be protected were quickly corroded by the time snow.
In just over 100 years, the city turned into ruins, and then from ruins into a vast snowfield!
However, this violent fluctuation in space and time also caused the natural generation of space and time particles with special properties in the wilderness, thus profoundly changing the technology tree of the entire world.
Humans began to make good use of this resource, which led to rapid development of technology and the reconstruction of many large cities.
The vast majority of today's large cities are not the original cities, but were built by humans after the emergence of space-time activities in places where space-time activities are relatively less intense.
When these cities were named, they naturally expressed some good wishes.
For example, Dawn City is actually the largest city closest to the southeast end of the entire Northern Continent because the sun can be seen earlier.
So people named this place Dawn City, hoping that the dawn of mankind would come soon.
Taking Dawn City as an example, human settlements on the Old Land can be roughly divided into three levels.
The first level is a super-large city like Dawn City, where every inch of land is valuable, and the innermost wealthy area is the safest place in the entire Old Land.
The second level is the major satellite cities surrounding Dawn City. Although these satellite cities are relatively small in scale, they can be connected to Dawn .
It’s just that because it is close to the periphery, it is more vulnerable to attacks by external armed forces or space-time creatures.
The third level is the various peripheral settlements that are closer to the wilderness.
These peripheral settlements can only use very crude means to prevent the erosion of time snow. They are often attacked, but for many wanderers, peripheral settlements are more free, and they can easily obtain time and space particles and sell them to major financial groups in the city.
Although those wanderers in the wilderness live a precarious life, they also think that their lives are much better than those of the wanderers in big cities.
The Chen Group's headquarters is located on the edge of Satellite City No. 3 in Liming City. It is also considered an influential group in Satellite City No. 3.
This location is just right for the rebels. Dawn City is a good place, but land is very expensive. Not only is the price too high, but it may also restrict their actions and all activities will be easily monitored.
The headquarters is located in Satellite City No. 3, which provides convenient access to both Dawn City and the wilderness.
Kill two birds with one stone!
Chen She looked towards the distant horizon.
Before, when he was in the Chen Group, he thought that the blue in the sky was because the technology tree of this world was different, so the environment was better protected. Now he realizes that the blue is the color of the energy mask above the city.
The more Chen She understood these contents, the more he felt that the waters of this world were very complicated, and he couldn't help but worry deeply about his own safety.
After learning that there are some powerful people in this world who transcend traditional cognition, Chen She considered whether he should find a way to improve his personal combat power.
Based on the small portion of memory he had recovered, Chen She knew that the original owner had once been a very powerful resistance fighter.
He appears to be a powerful supernatural being who can control objects with his mind and even block bullets.
But the problem is that an accident later caused the original owner to fall into a coma, and after Chen She crossed over, he found that he seemed to have no ability in this area. He is now no different from a stronger ordinary person.
This made Chen She feel that his problem was either one that could be recovered naturally, or one that was extremely difficult to solve.
So after considering it, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
After all, he is not facing a huge security risk now, and this kind of thing cannot be rushed. It is better to wait until the most urgent matter at the moment is almost dealt with before considering it.
The distance between Satellite City No. 3 and Liming City was not very far, and the business car was traveling very fast. After just over half an hour, Chen She had seen the outskirts .
This is a huge and magnificent city. The large number of densely packed skyscrapers gives Chen She the feeling that it is more prosperous than any megacity in his previous life.
After all, although land was extremely expensive in the big cities in Chen She's previous life, land resources were much more abundant than in this world. Except for some individual landmark buildings, there was no need to build all the buildings so high.
But this world is different. The range covered by the energy of the old land is limited. In the absence of the ability to develop more large cities or more satellite cities, these large cities can only develop inward and build higher and higher buildings.
Although the causes are tragic, the results show that these cities do show a prosperous scene of decadence and extravagance with the help of high technology.
After Zhang Sirui tapped a few times on the holographic projection of his bracelet, he brought up a thumbnail map of the entire Liming City.
"Mr. Chen, three addresses have been selected so far. The first two are in the inner city of Liming City, and the third is in a relatively peripheral area."
"Relatively speaking, I prefer the second one."
The holographic projection can show the whole picture of Liming City in a three-dimensional way and distinguish different urban areas with colors.
Chen She only took a rough look and figured out the characteristics of the three sites.
As a whole, a megacity like Liming City is becoming more and more prosperous from the outside to the inside.
It is only natural that wealthy areas occupy the best locations.
A large number of refugees will pour into the outskirts of Dawn City, and out of humanitarian considerations, the Dawn City Council certainly cannot drive these people into the wilderness to die.
Therefore, there are actually a large number of slums outside Liming City. Many poor people and homeless people live here with great difficulty, and the public security conditions are very poor.
In the middle layer, the situation is relatively better, economic activities are more prosperous, and many commercial centers have emerged.
But the public security is still not good, and there are often gang activities and various criminal incidents .
Only the inner city area has the best public security and the most prosperous economy. However, the inner city area is strictly restricted and not everyone can enter it casually.
The first two of the three sites selected by Zhang Sirui are in the inner city area, which can be said to be the economic center of the entire Liming City. It is prosperous and wealthy, with the most wealthy people.
Opening an experience store here will undoubtedly play the best promotional role for Lishan Technology's Super Dream.
The third address is on the outskirts of the inner city.
Although it has not yet reached the level of a slum and has a certain economic foundation, although the population of residents in this area is large, their spending power is not that high, and gang activities are frequent, so public security is very average.
Chen She thought about it seriously, and then said, "Choose the third one."
In fact, he decided on this location without much hesitation.
There are two reasons.
First, he actually didn't really want Lishan Technology's Mewtwo to become a hit, because once it became popular and made money, it would mean that the rebels would be able to obtain sufficient or even excess military funds in a short period of time, and then they would be courting death!
Second, this experience store is not only a window to promote Lishan Technology's Super Dream, but also a shelter for Chen She's "Three Burrows" plan.
Chen She considered that if the identity of the rebels was exposed, the corporate coalition would inevitably besiege the headquarters of the Chen Group. If he was in the experience store, he could escape in time under the protection of Zhang Sirui and others.
If the experience store is in the inner city, it would be quite inconvenient to escape.
Although the third location has some frequent gang activities and crimes such as fights between small hooligans in the outer area, the combat power of the rebels can definitely guarantee Chen She's safety.
