Interstellar Energy Tycoon - Chapter 245
c245 jobs in space cities
To life in a space city.
Yang Hanbin was very satisfied and could hardly find any faults.
Very convenient infrastructure of all kinds.
There are enough daily necessities, and the price is not much more expensive than that on the ground. There is basically no difference. After all, after the energy price of Xingyuan Group has been reduced, the original transportation cost of 500 yuan per ton has now been reduced to about 150 yuan, but not per kilogram of goods. The cost of adding less than 20 cents is just negligible.
The air quality is like a forest oxygen bar.
The daily temperature is fixed at around 22~25°C, making people in the most comfortable state all the time. Every day is sunny, and occasionally the light transmittance of the glass will be reduced, forming the effect of cloudy or night.
In terms of education, the intelligent AI classroom education system developed by Huayao Company can easily cultivate children into talents and greatly improve their learning efficiency. It is like a trump card. Even a scumbag with average learning ability can quickly become a talent without no competition. force.
In terms of medical treatment, not only the level of AI medical assistants is very high, it can detect early symptoms in time, and can solve thousands of various diseases. It is very appropriate to describe it as a “miracle doctor”, which is the most exciting and exciting. , is the reimbursement of 80% or 90% of the welfare benefits, so that no matter what serious illness they have, they can afford the treatment costs themselves, and will not be impoverished due to illness, fall into embarrassment, or even choose to give up treatment. Situation will not happen.
In terms of culture and entertainment, this is definitely worse than the ground of Azure Star, but the latest movies, novels, animations, and various cultural works can definitely be seen in the space city, and even movies can be released simultaneously. For online games, because there is a certain distance between the space city and Azure Star, there is a delay of more than 100 milliseconds, so online games cannot be played smoothly. The most popular and popular virtual online games naturally cannot experience the wonderful Second Life in it. , can only play stand-alone games, or local online games, which is a relatively disadvantageous aspect. Although many people will not consider immigrating to space cities because of this, the proportion will not be too high. After all, most people Life cannot be occupied by a so-called game.
Above these aspects!
If we make a comprehensive evaluation, Yang Hanbin believes that living in a space city is definitely more prosperous than living in a first-tier big city in China. The pressure of competition and survival is much less, and the environment is much better. More, more relaxed in all aspects, more abundant resources, no special effort, no need to be too introverted, you can have a lot of quality of life, and when you encounter risks such as diseases, you will also be supported by the welfare system of the space city In the end, there is no need to worry too much about the future.
but……
It is useless just to have a high quality of life, because life belongs to life. If a person does not have a stable job and a large income, then no matter how good the life is, it has nothing to do with him, no matter how good the benefits are , he can’t enjoy it either, only by working hard and labor can he get everything that belongs to him, the phenomenon of getting something for nothing is impossible, and it is not allowed to exist, and the space city will not support even a lazy person.
Therefore, immigrants who enter the space city must also arrange jobs for them, and they must be able to create enough value.
So here comes the problem.
Space cities can provide sufficient jobs, and can ensure that hundreds of thousands of immigrants can basically be assigned jobs, instead of providing few jobs and a very high unemployment rate, which leads to desperate efforts even if they come to space to develop If the volume is too small, then it is completely meaningless, and there is no need to come to space to develop.
At least for Yang Hanbin, he brought his girlfriend to develop in the space city. On the one hand, he wanted to find a place with lower housing prices, and on the other hand, he wanted to get better development—the latter was more important. .
If there is no better opportunity for development, then few people are willing to go to heaven for development, because there is a very simple truth, there will be rewards if you pay, and you will live a comfortable and comfortable life if you don’t pay, then sooner or later you will pay Greater price.
After all, everything in the world is balanced and equivalent, and there really is no such thing as getting something for nothing.
Naturally.
Compared with the blue star ground where the unemployment rate is relatively high and there are few high-paying jobs.
There must be many more opportunities for development in space. There are opportunities to make a fortune almost everywhere, and there are high-tech jobs with a monthly salary of more than 30,000 yuan everywhere. Few people earn less than this amount. The job content may not be very special. It’s hard work, at most, the working hours are a little longer, and it’s a little bit grueling.
The Xingyuan Group assigned Yang Hanbin a job as a professional equipment administrator to supervise the production of ultra-high-purity reflective materials in a space factory.
Of course, how this job is done specifically does not require Yang Hanbin to put on a space suit, enter space, and then enter the interior of the space factory to maintain and take care of the equipment and machines. This is unnecessary and very necessary. inconvenient.
In fact, Yang Hanbin doesn’t need to leave ‘Nuwa City’ or the circular living area. He just needs to enter an office building, lie down in a terminal device similar to a game cabin, and use Huayao’s 6G network technology to control Control an engineering robot, and finally use this robot to maintain and manage the normal operation of the space factory.
If there is any problem or failure in the space factory, Yang Hanbin can also remotely control the robot, repair the damaged parts, solve the problem of failure, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the space factory.
His working hours are ten hours a day, five days a week, which means a fifty-hour work week.
And he doesn’t need to stare at the equipment all the time. On the premise that there are no abnormalities or omens in the space factory, it doesn’t matter if he leaves for 20 to 30 minutes to solve the next person’s problem, or manipulate the equipment. Robots, patrolling around, inspecting every corner, and replenishing materials for the factory, these things can be done without feeling particularly boring.
In terms of salary, it is 200 yuan an hour and a monthly income of 60,000 yuan. In the future, depending on the situation, he will gradually increase his hourly salary to 250 yuan, 300 yuan an hour, and year-end bonuses. The salary is very good.
After working for a few days, I got used to it.
Yang Hanbin, who got off work this day, said to his girlfriend Yu Ling: “I am not tired at all from this job. The space factory uses a very intelligent industrial control system. The probability of problems is very low. It is estimated that there will be no problems in ten or twenty years.” Once there is a failure, all I have to do is control the robot, turn it around every day, take a look, patrol it, and occasionally help the transport spacecraft unload materials, pack the goods, or talk to colleagues about some topics that are not available. After fishing until after work, you can go home, which is not very difficult.”
“If your work content is so simple, will it be easily replaced? There are no some high-tech content, and the space factory cannot lack your important work?”
Girlfriend Yu Ling asked worriedly.
“No, the core technology of the space factory is studied by engineers on the ground. My main task is maintenance. Although it seems dispensable, some operations with high flexibility still have to be completed by us. Recently, I I am also learning the operating principle of the space factory. After I understand the principle, I can do more things, and the number of space factories will continue to increase. Now a hundred people manage a factory at the same time. In the back, maybe a dozen or a few people will take care of a space factory and have to master the ability to repair faults. It seems to be relatively leisurely now, but there are many things to learn. In a few years, I am afraid that I will not be able to relax. It is possible, and it is unlikely to be replaced, and I can continue to do this job for a long time.”
Yang Hanbin explained that his girlfriend Yu Ling immediately felt relieved.
“Even if we get a space factory in the future, the degree of automation and intelligence is so high that we don’t need personnel to watch it at all, the group will arrange new jobs for me, such as space research and development personnel, space manufacturing factory workers, interstellar shipbuilding workers, and space meteorites. Fishermen, energy distributors, etc., there are many types of work that can be chosen, and as long as the group continues to expand, it is not afraid that there will be no work arrangements.”
Yang Hanbin added.
nod.
Girlfriend Yu Ling nodded again and again, and now she finally felt relieved.
But in terms of income, Yang Hanbin’s monthly salary of 60,000 yuan, after deducting more than 30,000 yuan in mortgages, as well as thousands of yuan in personal taxes, five social insurances and one housing fund, the disposable income is actually less than 24,000 yuan, which is two people. It costs about four thousand to eat.
The cost of buying clothes, cosmetics and daily necessities is also around 5,000.
In addition to other miscellaneous expenses, entertainment expenses, the money that can be saved every month is at most 10,000, which is not a lot. At the end of the year, I will do some human relations, honor the elders, etc., and I will not be able to save much money. Yes, life will be a little tight.
When they have children, even if there will be a certain amount of maternity subsidies and newborn subsidies, it will still take a lot of energy, which will still increase expenses and make it difficult to save money.
“In the future, we will buy a floating car worth about 300,000 yuan, and we plan to travel to several places, and we will save some money for emergencies, as well as the expenses for raising children. I feel that the money we earn is still not enough , You have to be frugal, and you can’t buy what you shouldn’t buy, which is far from the standard of financial freedom.” Girlfriend Yu Ling sighed, feeling that money is not easy to earn, let alone spend.
“Aren’t you working in the agricultural cabin, responsible for the research work on plant breeding, with a monthly salary of 35,000, and when you get 30,000, you can save all your salary. My salary can meet all the expenses of the family as much as possible. In this way, we can save about 300,000 yuan a year. When the mortgage of the villa we live in is paid off, the combined monthly income of the two of us will definitely be more than 100,000 yuan. After working hard for about ten years, we can save 10 million yuan. With deposits, we should barely reach the standard of primary financial freedom. In the future, we can travel to places we want to go, do things we are interested in, and open a business. There are still many choices. If you can’t make a fortune, you can’t get rich, and you can lay a good foundation for your children.”
Yang Hanbin put his arms around his girlfriend Yu Ling, looked at the ring of the living area in front of him, and said with longing in his eyes.
“For space agriculture, I don’t know what the development prospects are, whether there is much room for improvement, and whether it can bring higher income.”
Yu Ling shook her head. Although the agricultural breeder job she was looking for had certain technical content, the salary was not very high. Jobs such as supermarket waiters, hotel waiters, kindergarten nurses, and hospital nurses in the space city, The monthly income is not less than 30,000 yuan, and the work content is not particularly hard. They are all relatively sought-after jobs, and they are filled up quickly. Yu Ling has no choice but to go to the agricultural cabin to help. They work nine hours a day and nine o’clock a week, but counting commuting time on the road, they work about the same amount of time each week.
Moreover, the work content is relatively boring and repetitive, and it requires a delicate mind to be able to discover high-quality crop varieties with different traits. It is difficult for ordinary people to adapt, and the resignation rate is quite high. Yu Ling barely adapted.
Of course there are benefits.
For example, there are extra fruits and vegetables in the agricultural cabin that are difficult to sell. She and other employees can share some and take them home to eat. Put down a small amount of money for groceries.
Another example is her breeding work. If she can make a major breakthrough and cultivate vegetable seeds and grain seeds with excellent characteristics, and successfully promote them on a large scale in the market, the many benefits brought will be able to make Yu Ling’s year-end The rewards have increased a lot, maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Although it is not as good as the year-end bonus that her boyfriend Yang Hanbin can get, it is still quite good.
In addition, Yu Ling found that as the price of space energy continues to drop, coupled with the photovoltaic power generation system of the space city ‘Nuwa City’, it can also generate millions of kilowatts of power, and the cost is not higher than 2 cents. / degree, the result is that the production cost of space agriculture is constantly declining, and it has now been reduced to 2 yuan per kilogram. Continuous flow, high production efficiency.
But in terms of market prices, the price of most fruits and vegetables is no less than 5 yuan/kg, and there is a double profit margin in the middle, and this profit margin will increase in the future.
The most important thing is that the threshold for space agriculture is actually not high. With an investment of several million yuan, a small vertical farming factory can also be built, and the economic benefits are also very good.
The more she understands this industry, the more she has an urge to start a business, such as various strawberries, mangoes, cherries, durians, etc. These mid-to-high-end fruits generally sell for more than 20 yuan/kg in the market, but the cost is not high. It will be particularly exaggerated, and there is definitely a lot to do.
But even if she is very excited, but she has no capital at hand and has not stabilized, the energy price is not low enough. Even if she starts a business, she has to wait and see for a while. Now is not the best time.
