Trial (1)

Two weeks passed quickly, and the appearance of the base changed a bit with each passing day.

Six 500,000-kilowatt nuclear power units were moved out of the dusty warehouse for a long time, glowing with light and heat again; the factories that had been abandoned for many years also reopened their assembly lines.

The peak power consumption of the entire base even reached 10 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to one-half of Shanghai! You know, the population of Shanghai is 20 million, but here is only 50,000!

The vast majority of electricity is used for industrial production, and the railways extending in all directions are running at full capacity almost all the time. A steady stream of high-speed trains brought tens of thousands of tons of titanium ore, uranium ore, iron, combustible ice, silicon and other minerals.

In a matter of hours, these minerals are turned into a wide variety of raw materials, which are then put into new production.

Seeing the work in his hands gradually becoming regular, Jack felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

To manage a base, not only production is enough, but the most important thing is "people".

Human beings are a very complex contradictory entity. Among the 50,000 people in the base, some are selfless, some are selfish, some are smart, some are stupid, some are positive and some are negative. For these various people, Jack tried every means to mobilize the hope deep in their hearts, so that everyone could be twisted into one rope and join in the production.

In order to achieve this effect, Jack wrote down almost everyone's name and prescribed the right medicine according to each person's personality. He is a superhuman. Although he has a strong memory, he is tired enough to face such a huge amount of data, but there is no way. Only by working together can people overcome this difficulty.

One of the special types of people is the criminals in the base. The most heinous ones were shot to death on the day of the riot. Although the rest were all guilty, they were not worthy of death.

These people are very troublesome, the total is less than a thousand points, how to deal with them is a big problem. Everyone in the base is precious wealth, and the total population is only a little over 50,000, so we can't kill them all, right?

On this day, Jack presided over a special meeting, the theme of which was to discuss how to deal with these criminals.

"At present, there are two main types of crimes in our base. The first type is the original death row prisoners. The other part is the criminals who took advantage of the explosion of the earth." Jack stood at the forefront of the meeting We don't have that much time right now to make laws, but a simple strategy should be negotiated."

"In our Chinese language, only those who have meritorious deeds must be rewarded can encourage capable people to work hard; only those who commit crimes must be punished can punish those who do evil. Rewarding good and punishing evil are two aspects of the same problem. Only when combined without bias can the stability of the base be achieved and the best social effects be achieved."

The death row prisoners in the base have always been an unwelcome group of people, and it is also a problem left over from history. On the one hand, some dangerous jobs are inseparable from them. On the other hand, they are criminals and are likely to cause social unrest, so the number has been small, and it has remained at 1,000.

After the rebellion ended, more than 400 death row inmates were killed, and most of them participated in the riots, but more than 200 people have been keeping themselves safe.

"For these death row prisoners who have gone through the test of humanity, they should be rewarded." A mechanical engineer said at the meeting: "An old friend of mine killed a person by mistake when he was on earth, so he was sentenced to death. I have lived in the base for ten years, and I have been working hard and keeping myself safe. It can be said that it is not too much to rehabilitate."

"They have contributed so much to the base. There is no credit but hard work. I think that these kind-hearted people should be pardoned."

The proposal was quickly passed after discussion.

The second category is relatively light crimes, such as petty theft while taking advantage of the opportunity. Although these people have committed crimes, they are all trivial matters, so they have relatively few restrictions on personal freedom.

Their disciplinary measure was "reform through labour," requiring extra labor to offset their crimes.

The last category is those who committed serious crimes during the riots. For serious criminals, not only must they be imprisoned, but they must also do heavy work.

Killing is impossible, and the labor force in the base is in short supply, how can it be possible to kill them? As for human rights, in the face of life and death, who cares about this...

No one could sympathize with them, not even the most Madonna-like.

A simple meeting ended neatly like this.

The improvement of the law can only be carried out in the future, because the workload in this area is too large, and there is really no manpower.

"Captain, there will be a trial about the rebel leader Calvin at two o'clock this afternoon, please be sure to attend!" After the meeting was completed, such a message appeared on Jack's cell phone, which was sent by his assistant, Miss Yuriko.

He is really too busy. He has just finished one meeting and has to attend the next one. This has almost become his daily routine now.

"It turned out to be Calvin, so I have to participate." Jack muttered to himself, and replied another message from Yuriko.

Yuriko is the adopted daughter of Dr. Roman, an Asian, although only twenty years old, she is a top physicist. Now that a large number of physical experiments have been stopped, she has nothing to do, so she becomes Jack's administrative assistant.

From Yuriko, Jack finally saw what it means to be a workaholic... Except for eating and sleeping, he spent all his time working, without a single joke, let alone other entertainment. In Yuriko's words, "Those are nothing meaningful activities."

Therefore, between two people, in addition to work or work. Of course, he himself is getting closer to a workaholic...

When he walked into the courtroom, he found that more than 30 jurors had arrived, all of them were leaders from all walks of life. After saying hello, they randomly found a seat and sat down.

Various laws in the base have not yet been enacted, so a jury system has been adopted. A total of 40 jurors from all walks of life jointly judged Calvin's crime, and Jack was one of them

After everyone arrived, the trial began quickly, and Calvin was also brought up. His face was swollen, and he may have suffered some hardships, but his eyes were still clear and his mind was intact.

Everyone looked at Calvin with complicated expressions. Some of them even joined the "Moon Society" recently, and their evaluation of him was seriously polarized. Some think he is a prophet of all mankind, others think he is a complete liar.

"The suspect has been brought, and the trial begins!" The judge standing at the front tapped the gavel. Wearing military attire, he read out Calvin's basic situation with a serious expression.

"Defendant, what do you have to say?"

Calvin stood in the dock, stroked his hair with his hands, and said calmly: "I know what you want to ask me... Yes, I admit, I killed people."

"After the earth exploded, I took advantage of the chaos and killed David Sen, David Pole, and Kashiwell. In addition, I also killed some middle-level officials."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was shocked. They didn't expect Calvin to admit it so directly.

Everyone in the jury pointed at and discussed with each other. David Sen, David Ball, and Kashiwell are the three top leaders in the base, who are in charge of the base's administration, military, and economy respectively.

These three died at the hands of Calvin after the earth exploded, so the entire base was out of control during that period.

In this way, Calvin's crime is serious!

Popular science: The moon has methane.

In the American lunar impact experiment, through data analysis, ground researchers found that carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, methane and some carbides were also detected after the impact. That is to say, the moon has methane, which exists in the form of combustible ice.
