Chapter 503 An Ordinary Day
evening.
The setting sun is blood-red.
It started to drizzle in the rainforest again. Julia and her team, who had just returned to the Pitcher Plant City, stored the biological samples they had collected.
They went to wash up. Although the families of their group members were in Nepenthes City, not everyone liked to go home.
For example, Julia, because she didn't want to be urged by her mother to get married all day long, she lived in the company dormitory by herself and only went back on Saturdays and Sundays.
Although the urban area where the ecological survey team is located is a relatively pure scientific research area, it does not mean that there are only scientific researchers and scientific research facilities here. In fact, some basic supporting facilities are still available.
For example, at this moment, Julia and several colleagues were having dinner at the Sunset Restaurant.
Here you can see the sunset over the Amazon rainforest.
Most of the sun had already sunk below the horizon. Although there was still some drizzle, the sunlight still penetrated the clouds, painting the rainforest golden.
After ordering the food, Julia stretched, leaned back on the sofa, and watched the sunset lazily.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is an uninhabited tropical rainforest.
Behind the floor-to-ceiling windows is a gorgeous restaurant where people come and go.
Julia strongly agrees with this kind of segregated city, which separates people and nature into two areas, which is a good thing for both sides.
Now that the Homo Sapiens Company has no shortage of arable land, there is no need to develop the tropical rainforest.
Excessive contact between humans and the natural environment sometimes causes some problems, such as bringing unknown microorganisms hidden in the natural environment into human society.
The correct approach is for both parties to keep a certain distance.
Especially today when human beings are developing faster and faster, it has become a very necessary thing to keep a distance between humans and the natural environment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the dishes are all served. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter reminded with a smile.
"Thank you." Julia thanked him and picked up the knife and fork.
On her plate was a standard synthetic steak, some ordinary onions and purple carrots.
There was also a small bowl of mashed potatoes and a glass of passion fruit juice.
Today, Haitian Agriculture’s synthetic steak technology is becoming more and more advanced, and production costs are getting lower and lower. After deep processing, many ordinary beefs can be turned into top-quality steaks with excellent taste and flavor.
Therefore, Haitian Agriculture no longer raises Wagyu cattle or the like, but instead directly pursues beef cattle breeds with short fattening time, better fat-to-lean ratio, and better disease resistance.
Anyway, ordinary beef can be processed into top-quality steak, so Wagyu, Angus beef and the like will lose their luster.
Julia had never eaten natural top-grade steak. As a biology major, she didn't really care about synthetic steak. As long as the nutritional content was not much different from natural beef and there were no harmful substances, it was a qualified ingredient in her eyes.
While eating dinner, she chatted with several colleagues.
Before I knew it, the last ray of sunset had disappeared over the horizon.
And Julia was well fed and well drunk.
After walking back to the office building, she did not go to work or anything like that because that was not allowed.
The company stipulates how many hours the position should work, and usually, it can only be below the upper limit.
Julia's position as an ecological investigator has a standard maximum working time of six hours per day, a maximum of five working days per week, a maximum of twenty working days per month, and a total working time of no more than 120 hours per month.
You said you volunteered to work overtime?
The company does not require you to work overtime voluntarily, and your salary will be deducted for voluntary overtime work.
Unless there is an emergency or the company is in a state of emergency, working hours can be increased. There is no such thing as overtime at all.
After all, the degree of automation in Homo sapiens companies is getting higher and higher, and employees are forced to work overtime desperately. Are they planning to use their production capacity to burst the earth?
Originally, 100 employees only work 6 hours a day. If they work overtime for 12 hours, only 50 employees are needed for each position. What should be done with the remaining 50 employees? Should they retire early or be transferred to other positions?
Moreover, employees' frequent overtime work is not conducive to consumption, family harmony, or population growth.
Therefore, we must resolutely crack down on this behavior of voluntary overtime.
Julia walked around the office building and came to the staff dormitory behind it.
I swiped my card and returned to my room, which was a personal apartment-style room with a standard area of 30 square meters. Except for the lack of a kitchen , all other facilities were available.
Since she had worked in the rainforest for more than two hours today, she did not go to the gym but lay down directly on the sofa.
I turned on the TV and flipped through the channels out of boredom.
"Why aren't there any good TV shows recently..."
Suddenly she turned back to the previous channel.
The scene at this moment shows the groundbreaking ceremony of the lunar base of Sapiens Corporation.
The Copernicus Lunar City, a Homo Sapiens company built inside the Copernicus crater, consists of six Allspark spacecraft.
There are currently five astronauts stationed in the Copernicus Lunar City.
The scene changed.
Switch to the Homo sapiens space station again.
After further expansion, the scale of the Homo sapiens space station has become even larger, and the length of the space station's rotating arm has increased from 100 meters to the current 500 meters.
At this time, the space station is rotating, and the astronauts in the annular cabin change from a floating state to a standing state.
This is the effect of centrifugal force simulating planetary gravity, and the astronauts did not show any obvious discomfort in this state.
Obviously, this represents the initial success of the pseudo-gravity experiment of the Homo sapiens space station.
Although Julia studied biology, she was quite interested in the aerospace field, mainly the environment in outer space, which has specific uses in biological research.
According to the TV station's report, the Sapiens Company space station will open a special channel to broadcast live some work and life scenes inside the space station.
Julia watched the live broadcast of the space station for a while, but when the novelty wore off, she continued to change channels.
She was so bored that she finally decided to watch a movie. The movie she chose was "Redemption of the Kidney Shredder" which was released a few days ago.
This was invested and filmed by Yemai Company. It has a bit of spoof black humor. The story of the movie is very simple. It mainly tells the absurd and tragic life of an American named Shawshank.
Shawshank is a middle-class white-collar worker in America.
One day, Morgan, the owner of the Metropolitan, fell ill and needed a kidney replacement.
And through the secret database matching, Shawshank and the rich man were successfully matched.
Soon, Shawshank was fired for entering the company with his left foot first, and then he received compensation.
He hit someone with his car, and the person demanded a huge amount of medical expenses from him. With the help of a righteous lawyer, Shawshank lost everything he had. As he could not pay his mortgage and car loan, his villa and car were confiscated by the bank.
Shawshank had no choice but to become a homeless person. While begging, he had a conflict with a drunk man and beat the man into the hospital. A righteous lawyer once again stepped forward and sent Shawshank to the hospital to pick up soap.
At this time, the warden proposed to Shawshank that their company had recently launched an organ donation campaign and asked Shawshank if he was interested in participating.
After reading the conditions, Shawshank signed the donation contract, and then he lost one kidney.
Shawshank was released early and took the compensation money and returned to his previous middle-class life.
And Boss Morgan also got the kidney he wanted.
Everyone gained something, and it was a happy ending.
After watching the movie, Julia didn't find it funny, she just felt angry and chilled.
