Chapter 1940 Chocolate's Ambition
World War I and World War II were separated by only a few decades, and after World War II, large-scale wars were brought under control for a short time due to nuclear deterrence, but small-scale conflicts never disappeared. Many people will ask how long will the peace of nuclear deterrence last? 100 years, or 200 years?
At this time, the world in which Duran is located has not had a large-scale war for three hundred years, and since the doom war that swept the solar system three hundred years ago, there has been no world war on the earth for three hundred years, although regional conflicts are still inevitable, but three hundred years is enough time for people to forget a lot.
It's a strange world, the heroes of the end of the war, and their descendants and their families have become the seven warlord families that override the earth. At the same time, classes are solidified, unemployment is extremely high, gangs are rife, and pirates are rampant.
Although mankind has entered the era of cosmic colonization, it seems that mankind has entered a dead end, the development of science and technology has stagnated in the past three hundred years, all technologies are similar to those of three hundred years ago, and many spaceships flying around have a history of hundreds of years.
Human civilization seems to have entered its twilight years.
And this year Duran broke the leg of a bear child on Mars and treated him.
Earth, Mars, and the numerous space stations and colonized satellites in the universe form the social makeup of humanity today. Although theoretically the Earth's polity rules all people and regions, the universe is so big, and it is natural for the place to become bigger, such as Mars.
It's a pity that Mars is still eaten to death by the earth due to lack of resources. The economy of Mars can be said to be a mess, except for the big cities with cosmic ports, the rest of the country is full of corn-growing rural areas, although people do not die of hunger, but they also cut off their ways to work.
Because the Martian cities cannot develop, they cannot expand employment, and if there are no jobs, there will be many idle young people, and these people will become the source of unrest, some people have become pirates, some have become bodyguards, relying on force to eat.
And force naturally breeds other industries, such as those women who have lost their footing, which is not suitable for children, and women who have lost their footing, which in turn leads to other bad outcomes, that is, orphans.
Therefore, a bad economy will affect many things and cause a lot of bad consequences, and this bad influence has reached a certain level in Mars, and there are even a large number of young soldiers in armed groups, and there are also human traffickers who specialize in human trafficking. Once again, slavery was revived in the cosmic age.
After Duran came to Mars, he met a bear child named Olga, a little guy who aspired to become a black society, an orphan, who grew up in a mixed slum, thief, mongrel, and bastard are his labels, but this time he was really miserable, he just wanted to steal, and he was actually broken leg.
Duran's finger flick is full of power.
However, whoever interrupted was responsible, and Duran not only treated him, but also gave him a place to stay.
But as a condition, Olga had to practice running and also have to accept Duran's chicken soup for the soul.
"Run......" Duran takes Olga for a run every morning and evening, and from the time he just recovered from his injury, he has been practicing until now, and Olga feels ready to race.
During the month that Olga was recuperating from Duran's injury, the two words he heard Duran say the most were 'run, don't stop', and 'Life is like chocolate, no one knows what the next grain will taste like'. Although Olga had never eaten chocolate, he remembered these two sentences, although he did not understand why he could not stop, and he did not understand what life was like chocolate.
But in his heart, Olga respects Duran very much, and if someone else changes, he won't be treated, and he won't be given a place to live. However, Olga has ambitions, he doesn't want to be an orphan for the rest of his life, he wants to get ahead, he wants to mix with the black club.
So on a dark and windy night, he was gone, and he was going to have a very dangerous operation on Alayya.
This is a technology developed 300 years ago during the Doom War, through the operation of the spine and brain to implant chips, even children can control huge mechs through chips, and connect mechas to flesh and blood. Many black clubs will operate on their children, because the children are very easy to control, and they don't have to pay a salary, just give them food for their stomachs.
It is impossible to get ahead here in Duran, so Olga would rather take risks, the success rate of Alayya's surgery is very low, especially in a backward place like Mars, where the gangsters basically ask doctors to conduct experiments in an extremely rudimentary environment, and the mortality rate is even higher.
Moreover, those who implant the alayas system are equivalent to being branded as slaves and looked down upon. Generally speaking, as long as life can go on, no one will risk this kind of surgery. Therefore, the people who have undergone the implantation of the Alayya are desperate orphans, children with no dignity at the bottom of society.
In the course of the operation, Olga got to know a child who was younger than him, and this child was a miracle and had already undergone two implantations of the alayas system, and now for the third time.
Olga heard from the adults that it was a miracle, so she opened a bet on whether the boy would survive the third time, and one would pay ten for one if he survived, and one would lose one if he died.
Olga couldn't help but sympathize with this child, thinking that if he survived, he must cover the other party.
It's a pity that it turns out that Olga thinks too much, a person who has undergone three Alayya system implantation surgeries and has not died, that is, the dazzling eyes of the protagonist's halo.
Olga has to use the power of the three days and the moon to achieve a career.
Miracle boy Mirizuki is young, but he is a ruthless man, from the fact that he participated in three surgeries but survived, he knows that he is a ruthless guy, he also hates the enemy, as long as there is an order, Mikazuki can shoot and kill people without hesitation.
After Olga and Sanriyue met, they have been instilling their lofty ideals of getting ahead, and Sanriyue is also very much looking forward to the day when the other party succeeds, and is willing to help this eldest brother who has been taking care of himself.
So these two people formed a combination, Olga is responsible for using the brain, and Sanriyue is responsible for the hands, the cooperation between the two is very good, and in two years they entered a civilian security company and became personal bodyguards.
In other words, they can also be regarded as mercenaries, of course, they are the lowest level of workers.
But this company is not small, there is a lot of military equipment, there are also old-fashioned mechas, and there is even a three-hundred-year-old Gundam as a base for energy.
The company, called CGS, is one of the largest on Mars, employing dozens of child laborers, many of whom have had surgeries, as well as children who cannot find jobs nearby to earn money to support their families.
The children's job is to send them to death, to drive the mecha to the most dangerous places, and any mission that will kill people is completed by the children.
The adults of the company stay in the rear to take care of some safety work, and do not need to participate in the work of life.
It may seem unfair, but in fact, every adult survives like this, the unlucky ones die, and the lucky ones stay.
Of course, most people still die on the battlefield and have no chance to grow up.
"Life is like chocolate, no one knows what the next one will taste like. Olga was also surprised, because suddenly one day this sentence burst into his mouth, and by this time he already knew the taste of chocolate. The first time he had money to spare, he went to buy chocolate and wondered what it tasted like.
It can be bitter or it can be sweet.
You don't know the true taste until you eat it in your mouth.
Under the influence of Olga, even three days and months began to like to eat chocolate. It's a pity that chocolate is a luxury on Mars, and they can't eat it often.
Because cocoa beans can't be grown on Mars, imagine chocolate going through a long cosmic route in a spaceship, going through many levels, paying for bodyguards, paying tolls, and finally landing on Mars, which will naturally be very expensive.
In fact, everything shipped from Earth is very expensive, and it is a Martian luxury. Olga wants to eat chocolate every day in the future, then he has to get ahead and become a big man.
