Chapter 419: Rashomon
readx;
In the morning, David and Gu Hanhan took a ride from the Golden Slave Trading Company to the thirteenth spaceport of the Vault Dweller System near Dongbi Star. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ info
This spaceport was apparently built specifically for the slave trade. The Vault Dweller System is the main hub of the slave trade in the entire universe, and the trading market at the foreground is on the South Continent Continent of Lighthouse Star, and the distribution center is on the sixth planet of the galaxy, Dongbi. Dongbi and the eighteen moons that orbit it are full of storage and logistics centers for slave companies.
The 13th Space Harbor has 20,000 berths in the extraplanetary orbit of 480,000 kilometers from Dongbi Star, where slave clippers who travel to and from all over the universe take off and land every day, and the lights on the bow of the ship rise and fall one after another, โกโก a vast ocean, and there is no end in sight. Tens of thousands of fast transport ships shuttle back and forth between the spaceport and the planets, pulling the newly arrived slaves to the warehouse, and transporting the sold slaves to the spaceport for loading, which is a busy and lively scene.
Gu Hanhan and David sat side by side on the top of a spaceship, and behind them a giant whale-class slave ship had just landed, and the hull was spray-painted with the huge words and logo of "Bagamoyo Slave Ranch". After the ship is connected and stopped, it immediately begins to unload.
Hundreds of rods protrude from its massive belly and connect with the containers under the dock to form a conveyance system, and then slaves are transported out of the holes in the warehouse one by one. All the slaves were naked, with gagged balls, urinary catheters, and their bodies bound into a standard straight stick. At the back of their collars was a metal ring that hung from the hook of the teleportation rod, and was hung from the teleportation rod to move at a rapid pace, merging into a torrent. Hundreds of torrents converge together to form a magnificent scene, which is incomparably spectacular, just like a textbook workshop for large-scale industrial production. At the end of the conveyor pole, more than a dozen sets of grid-shaped containers are fed in. The outer wall of the container is opaque, painted in different colors, and the surface is uniformly a large standard font with a red paint brush - "Domestic Slave Type 1 (Second Class)", "Dual-Use Sex/Slave (Fourth Class)", "Worker Slave J (First Class)", "Slave Type 3 (Second Class)", "Private Slave S Class (Smart Version)" and so on...... The container was not filled to the brim and was transported by a metal arm.
Immediately after the ship was emptied, it was loaded onto the ship. The robotic arm brought in hundreds of containers marked as "Punu", docked them with the teleportation rods one by one, and then the slaves who were also tied into a standard straight stick were transported from the containers into the spaceship. After the loading was completed, the bow light flashed, and the signal from the console was soon received.
In this way, a whale-type slave ship with a standard capacity of 500,000 people completed a whole loading and unloading from the time it landed, and the total time did not exceed an hour. In front of David and Gu Hanhan's vision, the Gordon family's slave ship had taken a full three hours, but it hadn't even finished half of the number.
The lattice houses of the little slave trade have been sent to the hull of the ship, piled up like mountains and seas. The Gordon family's purchasing attendants were surrounded by a large group of managers and salesmen who personally inspected the site. Jerry, the key account manager, followed suit, groveling and smiling so badly that his face was rotten. Even the slightest expression of the buying attendant can get the most thoughtful flattery from him, and occasionally once he is asked a sentence or two, he is even more courteous.
The bodyguards of the slave company were scattered on the periphery, because they were guarding and escorting the underage slave children, and they did not take out any big battles, only the handymen brandished latex sticks to maintain order. The locks were unlocked one by one, and the child slaves were released from their cages naked/naked, and were driven by miscellaneous servants to form a long queue and board the ship through the checkpoints one by one.
The checkpoint is set in front of each entrance of the spaceship, similar to the customs quarantine gate, it is also a door-shaped, but the height and width are much smaller, and only a slightly taller teenager can pass through. The top of the narrow door was inlaid with a large power stone, and the blue light flashed around it, and every time a slave child passed by, the blue light flashed rapidly. A middle-aged man in a brown jacket stood high on the deck with his shoulders crossed, looking down from afar on every slave child passing through the narrow door, his eyes as sharp as a falcon. Gu Hanhan could probably estimate that this should be an intermediate superpower.
"Level 4 Perception System," David told Gu Hanhan, "should be the head of this ship." โ
Behind the checkpoint was a group of twelve clerks, all women, uniforms in white shirts and black skirts, with delicate lace on the neckline and skirt. They pinched the data transmitted synchronously from the inspection port, and every time the slave child passed through the inspection port, they stamped his bare ass with two stamps at the same time, and on the left butt was a string of numbers, which was the same as the number of the inspection data generated simultaneously. On the right butt is a beautiful almond pattern, exactly the same as the emblem on the stern of the slave carrier, which is supposed to be the family crest of the Gordon family. Another clerk cut the badges around their necks and threw them into the boxes at their feet, and when the boxes were full, slave laborers dumped them under the spiral ladder. A thick layer of this sign had been poured into a mess on the platform.
"Biological seals," David took the initiative to tell Gu Hanhan, "The formula of each family is different, but the effect is almost the same, and the stamp appears when it encounters water." It can regenerate, whether it is skinned or fleshed, it can never be removed unless there is an Eliminator from the same training camp. This is to clarify the ownership and use it when the estate is distributed. Vassals fighting for the succession of high-ranking slaves can therefore be avoided to the greatest extent. โ
"That gate is called Rashomon, and it's used to test forgeries. He gestured to the checkpoints where the slave children were passing through, "There is a great technology in the history of superpower technology that is currently mastered and mastered by the training camps of various families. It is a test method that safely stimulates the awakening of human superpowers and calibrates the potential, referred to as the standard stimulation method. โ
"The standard excitation method is a complete set of technical systems, which are all-encompassing, and it takes at least 12 to 18 months to complete them all. Through this set of standard methods, 90% of children's superpower potential can be determined, and he can greatly increase the superpower awakening rate of normal children to more than 1/10,000, and the dangerous mortality rate is less than 1 percent, almost 99% of superpower potential people can be directly stimulated by it, and the one percent that cannot be stimulated is either too good potential and has advanced hope, or the potential is too poor, and it is difficult to get rid of low-level suffocation in life. โ
"If a child has undergone a standard provocative test and has been shown to have no potential, a pseudo-energy field will also form in the body, which will not completely dissipate until the end of puberty. This pseudo-energy field can be swept by extremely low-frequency shock waves, and it is this Rashomon. If it is a non-potential person who has been thrown out by other training camps, the blue light will stop flashing when passing through Rashomon. This is to prevent slave traders from indiscriminately using children who have been eliminated to cheat out money. โ
The last slave child was stamped through Rashomon. "One hundred hundred thousand!" the female clerks reported the numbers, then sorted out the materials and withdrew into the ship. The squire owed a note on the bill and waved to the middle-aged man in the brown jacket on deck. The middle-aged man ignored it, waited for the slaves to move away from the "Rashomon", and jumped into the spaceship with a light jump. The gate slowly closed behind him, and the ship was ready to take off. David suddenly took care of Hanhan, rushed straight over, and entered the door just as the gate was about to close.
The middle-aged man and the female clerk were still in the hall of the isolation pod, in addition to the children and armed guards in uniform. But these people were all as if blind, and they were blind to the sudden appearance of two big living beings like them. Gu Hanhan was surprised for a few seconds, and then he was shocked to realize that it was David who completely blocked them - this is really a skill of Niu X, which can be called a stealth technique in the new era, so that Gu Hanhan can't admire it.
The bare-bottomed slave children were given a body-covering robe with the number on their chests, in line with the stamp on their buttocks. The guards waved latex sticks to drive the slave children down the aisle.
"Follow the direction of the green arrow, go, your room bed number matches your number. โ
"Another boring trip has begun," the middle-aged man in the brown jacket yawned, "and the materials were sorted out and sent to my office." Take notes and don't look for me until you get to the jump point. And then he left. Immediately afterwards, the female clerks also left, giggling and betting on how many of them would pass the test.
The cabins of all the slave children were on the outermost side of the spaceship, and David and Gu Hanhan followed the children, and along the narrow corridor, they saw that the place where they lived was a bunk bed for twelve people.
The spaceship quickly took off, and at the end of the acceleration phase, the walls of the cabin suddenly thinned, melted and mottled, and finally became completely transparent, and the children suddenly found themselves in complete darkness, their eyes widening in shock. Gravity weakened, cosmic rays hit the walls of the ship, and meteorites flew past the hull. The children couldn't maintain their balance and began to tumble and drift. Some children began to get seasick and turned pale and wanted to vomit, but the empty stomach pouch prevented them from throwing up anything. Some children were scared and shivered as they clung to what they could. A boy who fell on the wall of a transparent ship suddenly screamed in horror: "5 mm, the wall of the ship is only 5 mm!"
David pulled Gu Hanhan away: "Every human being has potential, more or less, this is the golden sentence of the instructor." โ
"Space fear, the gift of the universe. "Tests have already started here." โ
They walked through the cloister and stopped at a small clearing around the corner. Outside the 5-millimeter transparent wall, the cosmic wind was still blowing fiercely, David silently stared at the small open space under his feet, and suddenly said, "The first time I saw Philip was in an open space like this, at the end of the cabin, at the corner of the corridor. I was fighting with some of the older boys, and I was being teased and bullied by them because I had a fear of space and shivering for hours and could barely breathe. Philip ran out and beat them up, and then said to me, 'That's bad, come with me! Then he ran to my cabin and snatched my top bunk bed. โ
