Chapter 3629: Christmas New Look (Part )
When you arrive at school, you don’t need to clock in. The moment you walk through the school gate, your face is recognized.
Moreover, even though it was only morning, the main roads to the school had already been cleared of snow. Clearly, Brainiac's administrative efficiency was higher than that of any human being.
Stepping on the solid non-slip ground, Schiller couldn't help but sigh that humans are really incompetent. This was the first time in more than ten years that he didn't have to walk to the classroom without taking one deep step and one shallow step after snowing.
Apparently, everyone else had the same view. Although Brainiac's control was strict, their administrative capacity and supporting services were also good enough, so there was really nothing to complain about.
After all, we are all ordinary people. The lives of ordinary people are not that complicated, and are made up of little details. If you can improve 50% of the details, you will definitely win the support of most ordinary people.
In Schiller's view, the main reason why the United States' approval rating is particularly high is that ordinary Americans used to live a really bad life.
The wealth of the United States is not the wealth of ordinary people. Perhaps in its golden age many years ago, it was indeed better than most poor small countries, but now it has slipped a lot.
Moreover, after plundering the world for nearly a hundred years, the living standards of ordinary people are just so-so. Even at the peak of their careers, things like "a blue-collar worker can support a whole family" were still far from good enough compared to what they plundered from the world.
With the population, natural conditions, and wealth that the United States has acquired, it is entirely possible to build a kingdom of God on earth. But unfortunately, by the millennium, the living standards of the vast majority of the middle and lower classes had fallen sharply, and the era of drug addicts and homeless people everywhere had begun to emerge.
In this case, Brainiac only needs to do something to gain the support of most ordinary people. In the era when the United States still has its influence, the direction of the United States means the direction of the world, so Brainiac pays special attention to the United States.
The Americans did not disappoint him. The current era is good. The policies that separated the lower classes have just started and have not yet exerted their full power. The major racial conflicts are relatively easy to handle.
Under Brainiac's iron-fisted governance, the lives of most ordinary people have improved significantly. When he was an invader, there were people who had nothing better to do to support him. Now that he has really done something practical, and done it better than most presidents, there are even more supporters.
Therefore, even though Brainiac did not deliberately promote leader worship, his image was still printed everywhere in many places. For example, a portrait of Brainiac was spray-painted on the wall of the Academic Affairs Building of Gotham University by students.
Although the academic pressure is greater, Brainiac clearly attaches great importance to education. First of all, all student loans are forgiven, no matter how much you have paid back, you don't have to pay it back anymore, and student loans are swept into the garbage heap of history.
Brainiac also added the college entrance examination to the United States, but all students who were able to pass the exam and enter university had their tuition waived, as well as all textbooks, miscellaneous fees, and meals for all on-campus activities. All food, clothing, housing, and transportation were covered, and students could just concentrate on their studies.
This move won the gratitude and praise of countless college students. After all, the best presidents in history only chose to forgive the student loans of a few people. Brainiac forgave all the student loans at once, and college students and graduates across the United States wanted to push the Statue of Liberty to let him stand there.
Also, after graduating from university, you will be assigned a job, which will basically be a job in the major you studied. If a major does not need that many employed people, then major universities will close the enrollment of that major, so that there will not be an overflow of talent.
Moreover, because humans now have two planets to manage, although Krypton is relatively small, it is highly developed and very short of people. Now the positions that graduates get are very good, even those doctoral students who have been cleared out can be assigned to a laboratory, or they can be positions such as director or chief engineer. This is a bonus of the times.
Schiller passed by the Academic Affairs Building and took a look at the portrait of Brainiac. The students had painted Brainiac's big green bald head extra bright and added a flashing effect to it, which was really unbearable to look at.
He walked a distance to the classroom, and the students were already there. Although Schiller did not deliberately make things difficult for them, the study pressure from Brainiac was already great enough. If they did not come to review early, they would fail the class test again.
Schiller stood in front of the podium, opened the lesson plan, cleared his throat and said, "Today we are going to talk about the definition of developmental psychology. Please turn to page 20..."
Schiller did indeed just read from the textbook, but there is no other way to explain the basics of psychology other than reading from the textbook, and in the undergraduate stage you still basically have to rely on memorization.
However, he could clearly feel that the students at Gotham University were much better. The classroom was quieter than before, mostly just the rustling of notes, and students would occasionally raise their hands to ask questions, and there were fewer "mental patient quotes" in the homework they handed in.
Schiller began to want the new students who passed the college entrance examination to come in sooner. Although the college entrance examination designed by Brainiac was not very difficult, at least it was far worse than what Schiller had experienced in his previous life, but there were fewer people in the United States after all, and there were even fewer now, so there was no need to be so competitive, as long as they had normal thinking ability.
Schiller first gave a lecture, then led them to highlight the key points, then reviewed the content of the previous class, and then there was an in-class test.
The class quizzes set by Brainiac were very tricky. Not only did they have to be taken in class, but they also had to be graded and announced in class. This was not only a test for the students, but also a test for the teachers.
If you are correcting the papers in class, at least you have to give fair grades and be able to correct students' mistakes. Otherwise, if you give low grades, it will be troublesome when people ask you why they couldn't answer the questions.
Schiller asked three questions, two of which were recitation questions and one was discussion questions. The first two questions were relatively simple, while the last question required expressing some of one's own opinions. Basically, as long as one could answer the first two questions correctly, one would pass.
Although Schiller was sometimes ruthless, he generally adopted an encouraging approach to education. There was no standard answer to the last question, so he basically only praised those who wrote well.
As for those who couldn't solve the first two problems, there was no need for Schiller to scold them; Brainiac's score would teach them a lesson enough.
Schiller corrected the test papers as quickly as possible, called out the names of several students for praise, and then distributed the test papers. After all students checked and confirmed that they were correct, the scores were recorded.
"If you have nothing else to do, get ready to end the get out of class. By the way, the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office asked me to remind you to prepare well for Christmas this time. Students from the Psychology Club will stay, and the rest of you can go."
Gotham University has a psychology club, which was established shortly after Schiller came. However, Schiller never paid much attention to it, and most of the students were free to do whatever they wanted, basically studying everything except psychology.
However, in the rules set by Brainiac, each club needs to have an instructor. The instructor of the Psychology Club is naturally Schiller, who is responsible for supervising students to carry out club activities.
"This Christmas, all clubs' activity classrooms must be decorated. Brainiac will deliver the props for the decorations tomorrow night. Arrange people to decorate them and try to make them as good as possible. There may be teachers and students from other clubs visiting."
Schiller told the club members: "You can put the Christmas tree in first, but don't hang any ornaments yet. There may be some ornaments commemorating the victory that will be delivered later. Try to use chalk to draw on the blackboard, don't use acrylic. The cleaner complained to me before that it is too difficult to wipe..."
After finishing the club work, Schiller had to write the class summary. By the time he finished writing the class summary, it was already lunch time.
There was no lunch delivered to the door this time, so he had to eat in the restaurant. When Schiller arrived at the restaurant, there were already many faculty members eating and chatting.
After he sat down, he started checking his phone. After a while, a waiter came over and handed him the menu. Schiller looked at him in surprise.
"Good afternoon, professor. The restaurant is open for ordering. Here are the dishes the restaurant offers today. The menu suggested by Brainiac can be viewed in the software. If you need to order additional dishes, you will need to spend points."
Schiller opened the "Super Butler" app and found that there was indeed a "recommended menu" function. He opened it and took a look. The dishes were similar to the previous ones, with nutritional elements and other things marked at the back, and some additional recommended dishes were given.
"Add a serving of cod," Schiller said. He looked at the price list and found that cod was not expensive, so he ordered one.
In the past, there was no need to order food in the restaurant. After sitting down, you could just follow the menu recommended by Brainiac. It could guarantee adequate nutrition, but it could only guarantee basic nutrition. The dishes were the same over and over again, and Schiller was a little tired of them.
It seems that Brainiac is planning to relax some of the controls, but then again, if he hadn't planned to relax from the beginning, there would be no need to collect any points.
Schiller took a quick look and found that several tables in the restaurant had ordered extra dishes. The faculty and staff were also in good spirits, chatting and laughing while eating.
After the dish came, Schiller tasted it and found that the cod was very fresh. Now Gotham has closed the sea, and there was no habit of importing seafood from other ports. It seems that Brainiac has made another big move.
After Brainiac took over the Earth, local trade protectionism no longer worked. Basically, whoever is good at it can do it and sell the product to the world.
In terms of heavy industry, Gotham excels in the chemical industry, and most of the workers go to work in chemical factories; the second is cold chain transportation and logistics industry. Brainiac has no intention of giving up the cold storage advantage here, and it seems to have gone a step further. Many things are transferred here, and local residents can also eat a lot of novel foods.
Schiller thought of what he had read in the newspaper this morning: Brainiac was going to develop Siberia. However, since the natural conditions there were not really suitable for human survival, he was probably planning to send a group of robots there.
In addition, there are countries such as Mexico in Central America. At present, Brainiac has not made much move there, and basically maintains the local industrial structure dominated by agriculture and processing industries.
Moreover, the Mexican Revolutionary Army was not disbanded. Because most of them were young and middle-aged, most of them went to Krypton, and a small number stayed to maintain the army structure, but they were transformed into farming troops.
The original Mexican government was dissolved by Brainiac, or more precisely, almost destroyed. These people were poor and arrogant, most of them were American compradors, and a small number were speculators who wanted to make a quick buck and leave. Such a government naturally had no need to exist.
So in reality, Mexico is now in a state of anarchy, but because of Brainiac's comprehensive control, it is much better than before. Farmers still need to farm, and workers still need to screw.
This kind of place is not like the United States. The foundation there is too weak and the social status is too primitive. Without large-scale industrialization reforms, the living standards cannot be improved. At most, they will be slightly better.
So even for Brainiac, he can only take it step by step. After all, it will take at least several decades to educate a generation of humans capable of carrying out industrial reforms. No matter how smart he is, he can't be impatient.
As for the Soviet Union, there is no need to mention it. For them, it was just like memorizing some books at the last minute before the exam, but they ended up taking all the exams.
Strong government, rationing, war communism? I know all of these!
Moreover, Brainiac's distribution model was much more flexible and fairer than the original one. Some elderly people who were dissatisfied with the Soviet reforms felt that Brainiac's rationing system was more suitable for their living habits.
But Brainiac did not stop the discussion of market-oriented reforms within the Soviet Union. In his view, a certain degree of marketization was inevitable for the human race, and it would be safer to try it first in some countries with a foundation.
