"No one knows," David shook his head slightly, "that humanity's galaxy spans more than 100,000 light-years. www.biquge.info In the 4,000-year-old history of the Milky Way, there have been many superpower families like stars in the sky. There are more than 3,000 families officially registered in the Superpower Association alone, and the rest of the self-styled new nobles who have not yet been recognized are even more numerous. Every moment a family dies, and every moment a new family is born. And every family, no matter how big or small, strong or weak, is self-appointed or granted, the reason why it can be called a family is at least to have a planet and a training camp first. ”

"A medium-sized training camp planet typically has about fifteen to thirty slave camps. The large training camp has maintained the scale of more than 40 slave oases for many years. Some of the Acropolis nobles have more than one training camp planet owned by their families. No family would register the number and specifications of their training camps with the association, and no family would disclose the slaves in their training camps to the public. There is only one estimate at the moment, and it comes from the Temple Liberators Organization, which believes that half of the superpowers of all mankind are in the slave camp. David couldn't help but have a mocking look on his face, "Look at this sandbar, Hanhan." I remember when I first arrived at Greystar, there were thirty-eight oases here. Leaving two years later, he became thirty-two. But now, they've almost turned over a generation—"

"I counted, David. Gu Hanhan interrupted him in an obscure tone and said, "There are now seventy-three oases on this sandbar. ”

"Oh yes, that's more than double. You see, Hanhan, this is my 'great achievement' in the past ten years. It's just because of my chance appearance, just because I happened to have the surname Duran, I don't even have to do anything, as long as it still exists, the slave camp here swells up like a blow, and it keeps expanding. And the universe has never lacked ...... by chance like me."

"But there are seventy-three oases here. The Duran family has seventy-three slave camps on the Gray Star alone, and you have at least ten thousand nine hundred and fifty superpowered slaves, David. Gu Hanhan looked at David, feeling a little agitated.

"That's not mine, Hanhan, it's the Duran family. ”

"Then how many do you have?" Gu Hanhan's emotions were swayed by an irrational emotion, and he refused to give David a chance to dodge and escape, and immediately asked, "No one else, just yourself." ”

David was silent for a moment, and then said bitterly: "I don't know, Hanhan, I really don't know, we have to ask Hebrew for the specific number." But perhaps the Hebrews could not have said a number exactly, for there was no way to completely separate the slave from the vassals of the family - a number that you may only hear until I died and lay in the coffin of the inheritance, and I only knew that the number of the seventh rank could not exceed three digits in any way......"

"So you're right, Hanhan, it's indeed my sin," he said, "I never spent a day in a slave camp when I was a slave more than a decade ago, and more than a decade later I've become the same kind of person as the superpowered nobles who brought it all this. I am not in a position to sympathize with anyone here, let alone to ridicule or despise them, because I am also such a despicable and ugly person in nature......"

"David......" Gu Hanhan hugged him, feeling very guilty and sad. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Who is she to accuse David of here? Just because he was a victim once, he has to become a saint, a fighter who is unyielding against the whole world, and if he can't do it, it's a crime? What kind of bandit logic is this?!

"I'm sorry, David, I'm sorry, I'm just emotional......," she said repeatedly, "it's not like that, you can't say that about yourself." You're not a scoundrel, never, I've never seen anyone more virtuous than you......"

David shook his head and whispered, "Don't comfort me, Hanhan, I know in my heart what an ugly person I am......"

Gu Hanhan didn't know how to comfort him, and there was no need to mention regret. But soon, David recovered from this self-loathing and self-denial, and his mood was cheerful again. He kissed Gu Hanhan, and then took her hand: "Let's go, let's go into the base and have a look." Behind the towers of the management center is the barracks for the Prospective Reserve, where I used to live. ”

"Ready Potential?"

"Yes, the Reserve Potential, also called the New Boot Camp, the Slave Reserve," David said, "and the bootcamp is accustomed to calling all those who have no sure potential as potential, regardless of the fact that at least ninety-nine percent of them are ultimately unmotivating at all. It's a beautiful kind of self-deception. ”

He took Gu Hanhan by the hand and walked down the hill: "I lived there the longest in the two years that Gray Star lived, and I don't know what it has become now, and the room is still not there......"

"It's impossible to demolish," Gu Hanhan said, "According to my usual experience, eighty percent of the houses you lived in before were covered with transparent covers, and then there was a glittering golden sign on the side, saying 'xxx former residence' or something like that-rest assured, you will definitely see ...... when you go."

"The Former Residence?" David smiled dumbly, "You're so cute, Hanhan." ”

"For fun, you look so good when you smile. ”

They walked along the edge of the ecological cover into the city – almost indistinguishable from a modern metropolis. Shopping malls, restaurants, various entertainment venues, schools, hospitals, parks, ...... All the buildings that the city should have are available, and they are scattered around the Tower of Babel. In the outermost areas, there are large-scale dwellings.

Gu Hanhan took David's arm and walked on the clean and wide streets of the city, and saw that there were all kinds of people in a hurry, wearing various work uniforms, and people rushing to work. David told Gu Hanhan that not counting the slaves and miscellaneous servants, there were at least 100,000 staff members who maintained the daily operations of the Gray Star Planet and the training camp, mainly from the low-level attendants and garrison troops of the Duran family, and the city was established for them.

Behind the Tower of Babel, there is a wide avenue that can accommodate a large airship to land directly. There was not a single pedestrian on the road, and it led straight to a continuous barracks in the distance, with no end in sight on three sides.

"That's where the new training camp will stay. David recalled, "We were just down that path to the new camp. ”

"After the Shinsengumi and the slave camp took their men away, it was our turn in the end. A whole army of more than 2,000 people came to hand over it. They made us a square of 1,000 men and walked all the way to the camp. It was a long road to walk on your feet, from morning to evening, and one was exhausted. ”

"In the large playground of the new training camp, we finally met the top commander of the camp, a lieutenant general of the Duran family's private army - not the Hu Guards, of course, but the security forces of a mixture of superpowers and ordinary soldiers. His speech was peculiar, and throughout Gray Star, he was the only one who did not emphasize hierarchical order but openly opposed any form of class hierarchy. He said, 'Little bunnies, no matter who you were before, you are all the same when you come here!' You are a noble young master or a beggar slave, and you are my little soldiers when you enter this camp!' Remember, what happened before is not under my control, and I can't control what happened after that, but as long as you are in the new training camp for a day, this matter will never change!'

"He's right, everyone in the new camp, including the trainer and the female secretary, wears military uniforms, including us, of course, and that night, each of us was given a set of military uniforms, metallic suits, but we can finally get rid of the nasty brown robe on the slave carrier - in fact, the new training camp is originally one of the garrisons of the family security corps, so you can think of it as a military camp, but it is more strict and there is no way out. ”

Crossing the guards' gates, the periphery of the barracks, and the dormitories of the security forces, the soldiers had just gotten up, washed, eaten, and lined up for morning exercises, and loud slogans came and went, and the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the noisy and noisy barracks, which seemed vibrant.

Then I walked inside to the center of the camp, where the house sign said "New Training Camp", but there was silence inside. There was no end in sight to the rows of tall buildings, all of them with open doors, and no one inside could be seen. Walking through the paths crisscrossing the buildings is like wandering through a lost town that has been enchanted.

"The standard schedule for the new camp is from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. The vast majority of stimulation training is done outside the ecological hood, and sometimes in outer space. Camps are really just places to sleep. "I remember one survival training session where I didn't get out of bed for two weeks in a row, and I didn't go back to camp." ”

But it clearly carries David's fond memories of the past, and he expertly weaves his way through the dormitories until he enters a dormitory in one building. On the ninth floor, there is no elevator, and it is really exhausting to climb up with your feet. The dormitory is a large room with a toilet, washroom, and storage room, and there are twelve bunk beds in the outer room, which are neatly organized.

David walked to the bed by the window, held on to the bed frame, and said with emotion: "The room is still there, but the bed has been changed." It's been so many years......"

"Philip and I stayed in this place, he lived in the top bunk and the bottom bunk. David said to Gu Hanhan, "After entering the new training camp, the previous formation on the spaceship will not be counted." The night before, they regrouped us, a group of 3,600 people, living in the same dormitory. Philip wasn't in the same group as me, but he took the officer in charge of the formation on the head, broke into the battalion commander's office, and was thrown into our group after being beaten hard. ”

"He had to live on the highest floor, and he had to be in the best room on the floor by the window. No one fought with him for the first request, but for the latter request, the two of us had a fight with the whole floor - the most infuriating thing was that this guy was covered in wounds, had no combat effectiveness at all, and shouted loudly, and I was the main one who was beaten and fought in the end!"

"It's not really necessary, and there will be a potential test every time the new camp completes a cycle of motivational training. After each potential test, the new camp had to be nearly one-third less staffed, some going to the Shinsengumi and some to the slave camp. The dormitories in the new training camp will suddenly vacate many beds, and the dormitories will have to be regrouped and replaced. The same group of people who came in, as long as they stayed in the training camp, were very likely to meet each other. And after more than half a year, we joined the thirteenth squad together. ”
