Chapter 3618: Christmas New Atmosphere (Part 3)
Arriving at school, no need to punch in. The moment he walked through the school gate, face recognition was completed.
Moreover, although it was only morning, the snow on all the main roads of the school had been swept clean. Clearly, Brainiac's administrative efficiency was higher than any human's.
Stepping on the solid and non-slippery ground, Schiller still couldn't help but sigh, humans really can't do anything well. It's been more than ten years, and this is the first time he didn't have to walk to the classroom with one deep and one shallow step after it snowed.
Clearly, others were of the same opinion. Although Brainiac's control was strict, his administrative ability and supporting services could keep up, so there was really nothing to complain about.
In the final analysis, everyone is an ordinary person. The lives of ordinary people are not that complicated, all piled up by bits and pieces of trivial details. Being able to improve 50% of the details definitely wins the support of most ordinary people.
And in Schiller's view, the support rate in the United States is particularly high mainly because: the ordinary people in the United States before were really not doing well.
The wealth of the United States is not the wealth of ordinary people. Perhaps in the golden age many years ago, it might indeed be stronger than most poor small countries, but it has slipped a lot now.
And, after harvesting the world for nearly a hundred years, the living standard of ordinary people is just like that. Even at the peak period, things like "a blue-collar worker supporting a family" are still far from good enough compared to what they plundered from the world.
Given the population, natural conditions, and the wealth acquired later, the United States could have been built into an earthly kingdom of God. But unfortunately, by the millennium, the living standards of the lower and middle classes had slipped very badly, and the era of drug addicts and homeless people everywhere was already beginning to appear.
Under these circumstances, as long as Brainiac does something human, he will naturally gain the support of most ordinary people. And in the era when the United States still had its prestige, the wind direction of the United States meant the wind direction of the world, so Brainiac paid extra attention to the United States.
Americans didn't disappoint him either. This era is very good, the policies that divide the bottom-level people have just started, and haven't exerted their full power. The racial conflicts that were making a big noise were also relatively easy to handle.
Under Brainiac's iron-fisted rectification, the lives of most ordinary people have improved significantly. Originally, when he was an invader, there were people who had nothing to do but chase after him, and now that he has really done some practical things, and done better than most presidents, there are even more followers.
So, even though Brainiac didn't deliberately engage in leader worship, his image was printed everywhere in many places. For example, the wall on one side of the teaching building of Cat Getan University was painted with a portrait of Brainiac by students.
Although Brainiac's green bald head was painted extra bright, and they even added flash effects, it was really hard to look at.
Although the academic pressure is greater, Brainiac clearly attaches great importance to education. First, all student loans are waived, no matter how much you have paid back, you don't have to pay it back anymore, and student loans have been swept into the dustbin of history.
Brainiac also added a college entrance examination for the United States, but all students who can enter university through the examination are tuition-free, all books, miscellaneous fees, and meal fees used for school activities are also free, and food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all contracted, just focus on reading.
This move won the gratitude and praise of countless college students and graduates. After all, the best president in history only reduced the student loans of a few people, Brainiac waived them all at once, and all college students and graduates in the United States wished they could push the Statue of Liberty down and let him stand there.
And, after graduating from university, jobs are assigned, basically the work of the major you studied. If a major doesn't need that many employees, then various universities will close the enrollment of that major, so there won't be a surplus of talent.
And, because humans now have two planets to operate, although Krypton is relatively small, the level of development is very high, and it is very short of people. The positions obtained after graduation are all very good, even those doctoral students who were cleared out can be assigned a laboratory, or be directors, chief engineers, etc., which belongs to the era dividend.
Schiller passed by the teaching building and glanced at Brainiac's portrait.
Schiller walked a distance to the classroom, and the students had already arrived very neatly. Although Schiller didn't deliberately make things difficult for them, the learning pressure given by Brainiac was already enough, they didn't come early to review, and the classroom test would fail 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 open the textbook to page 20..."
Schiller indeed just read from the script, but there is no other way to teach this kind of psychology foundation, the undergraduate stage is basically relying on rote memorization.
However, he could clearly feel that the source of students at Cat Getan University had improved quite a bit. The classroom was much quieter than before, basically all the rustling of taking notes, students would occasionally take the initiative to raise their hands to ask questions, and there were fewer "mental patient quotes" in the homework handed in.
Schiller began to want the freshmen who passed the college entrance examination to come quickly. Although the college entrance examination designed by Brainiac is not very difficult, at least it is much worse than the one Schiller experienced in his previous life, but the United States has few people, and now there are even fewer, so there is no need to be so involutionary, just have normal human normal thinking ability.
Schiller first gave a lecture, then drew the key points for them, then reviewed the content of the previous lesson, and then it was the classroom test.
The classroom test set by Brainiac is very tricky, not only to test in class, but also to grade and announce the scores in class. This is not only a test for students, but also a test for teachers.
If you grade in class, at least you have to be fair in grading, and you have to be able to point out the students' mistakes, otherwise if you give a low score and people ask you why you can't answer, it will be troublesome.
Schiller gave three questions, two were rote memorization, and one was argumentative. The first two questions were relatively simple, and the last one required expressing some of one's own views, basically as long as you can answer the first two questions, you pass.
Although Schiller occasionally didn't show mercy, he generally adopted encouraging education. He only praised those who wrote relatively well for the last question.
As for those who couldn't even do the first two questions, there was no need for Schiller to scold them, Brainiac's scores would give them enough lessons.
Schiller graded the test papers at the fastest speed, called the names of several students to praise, and then handed out the test papers, and all students checked and recorded the scores.
"Nothing else, get ready for class to end. By the way, the teacher in the academic affairs office asked me to remind you to prepare well for this Christmas. Students in the psychology club stay, others can go."
Cat Getan University has a psychology club, and it was established not long after Schiller came. However, Schiller has never paid much attention to it, and most of the students are free activities, basically studying everything except psychology.
However, according to the rules formulated by Brainiac, every club needs to have a guidance teacher, and the guidance teacher of the psychology club is naturally Schiller, and he has to be responsible for urging students to carry out club activities.
"This Christmas, the activity rooms of all clubs must be decorated. Brainiac will send the decoration props tomorrow night. You arrange for people to go and decorate, try to make it better, maybe teachers and students from other clubs will come to visit."
Schiller exhorted the club members: "The Christmas tree can be put in first, but don't hang the pendants yet, there may be some pendants commemorating the victory sent later. Try to use chalk on the blackboard, don't use acrylic, the cleaner complained to me before that it was too hard to wipe..."
After explaining the club work, Schiller had to go write the class summary. By the time he finished writing the class summary, it was lunchtime.
There was no lunch delivered to the door this time, it must be eaten in the restaurant. When he arrived at the restaurant, there were already quite a few faculty members chatting while eating.
After he sat down, he began to check his phone, and after a while, a waiter walked over and handed him the menu. Schiller looked at him somewhat surprised.
"Good noon, Professor. The restaurant has resumed ordering, this is the dish provided by the restaurant today. The menu suggested by Brainiac can be viewed in the software, if you need extra dishes, you need to spend points."
Schiller clicked on the "Super Butler" software and found that there was indeed an extra "Recommended Menu" function. He opened it and took a look, the dishes inside were about the same as before, marked with things like nutritional elements, and gave some extra recommended dishes.
"Add a portion of cod," Schiller said. He checked the price list and found that cod was not expensive, so he ordered a portion.
Before, the restaurant didn't need to order, just sat down and served according to the menu recommended by Brainiac, which could guarantee sufficient nutrition, but basically could only guarantee nutrition, the dishes were repeated, and Schiller was a bit tired of eating.
It seems that Brainiac intends to relax some control, but it is also true, if he didn't intend to relax at the beginning, there would be no need to engage in any points.
Schiller glanced and found that several tables in the restaurant ordered extra dishes. The faculty members were also in good spirits, chatting and laughing while eating.
After the food was served, Schiller took a bite and found the cod was very fresh. Cat Getan has been closed to the sea, and there was no habit of importing seafood from other ports here before, it seems it is Brainiac's big hand exerting force again.
After Brainiac took over Earth, local trade protection no longer worked, basically whoever is good at it does it, and then sells the products to the whole world.
In terms of heavy industry, what Cat Getan is best at is the chemical industry, most workers went to chemical plants to work; followed by cold chain transportation and logistics industries. Brainiac didn't intend to give up the cold storage advantage here, and it seems to have gone further, many things are transferred here, and local residents can also eat many novel foods.
Schiller thought of what he saw in the newspaper this morning, Brainiac is going to develop Siberia. However, because the natural conditions there are indeed not very suitable for human survival, he should intend to send a batch of robots there.
Another is countries in Central America such as Mexico. Currently, Brainiac has no big moves there, basically maintaining the industrial form of local agriculture and processing industry.
And the Mexican Revolutionary Army did not disband, because most of them are young and middle-aged, so the vast majority went to Krypton, a small part stayed to maintain the military establishment, but turned into a farming force.
And the original Mexican government was dissolved by Brainiac, to be precise, it was almost shot to death. This group of people is just poor and horizontal, most of them are compradors of the United States, and a small part are speculators who take a sum and leave, such a government naturally has no need to exist.
So in fact, Mexico is in a state of anarchy, but because of Brainiac's comprehensive control, it is better than the previous situation. Farmers still farm, and workers still screw bolts.
This kind of place is not like the United States, the foundation there is too thin, the social state is too primitive, without large-scale industrial reform, the living standard cannot be raised, at most it is slightly better.
So even for Brainiac, he can only take his time, after all, it takes at least decades to educate a generation of humans who can carry out industrial reform, no matter how intelligent he is, he can't be in a hurry.
As for the Soviet Union, it goes without saying, for them it is equivalent to cramming before the exam, and the result is all tested.
Strong government, rationing system, war communism? I know all these questions!
And Brainiac's distribution model is much more flexible and fair than the original one. Some elderly people who are dissatisfied with the Soviet reform feel that the rationing system engaged by Brainiac is more suitable for their living habits.
But Brainiac didn't stop the discussion about market reform within the Soviet Union. In his view, for the human race, a certain degree of marketization is inevitable, and trying it out in countries with a foundation first is more secure.
