Chapter 130: The Great Deep Space Hibernation Technique (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Ahhh The thin man fell to the ground, clutching the little bit of his forearm that was left and let out a miserable howl.
He doesn't feel pain when he hurts others, but when it's his turn, he can't bear it even for a second!
The rest of the people present were in a panic, as if they had returned to their former daily lives, and they all crouched down to find a hiding spot.
Only Mike was still standing, staring straight in the direction from which the gunshots were coming from, his eyes full of excitement.
Everyone looked in the direction where the gunshots were coming from, many of whom had been awake for several years and had never heard of guns in this world.
In the eyes of everyone, there was a sound of footsteps in a shadow, and a figure slowly walked out.
Tactical helmet, full-color night vision goggles, body armor, a black bodysuit, an automatic rifle in his hand, and two grenades hanging from his body.
"Police...... The police? A bearded man muttered, "The police still exist?" Does the government still exist? We...... Are we saved? ”
"Shut up, look at his feet, will the cops wear coconut shoes?" One of the people next to him cursed viciously, "This world has become a big prison, and there is a bird government!" ”
Only then did everyone find out that although this person's equipment was complete, it was a bit nondescript, and the full-color night vision device was obviously military, and the police could not equip it.
"You found a weapon?" Mike suddenly asked, "Where is it?" ”
At this time, everyone also figured out that this person was probably the same person who woke up from the hibernation pod, but somewhere found weapons and equipment.
"Ahh......h Ah......h
Unexpectedly, the man ignored Mike's question, but said in a hoarse voice like a ghost:
"Lying on the ground with your head in your hands, three seconds, expired to kill."
As he spoke, a bullet shot out, ending the thin man's screams in an instant.
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they hugged their heads and lay on the ground.
The other party killed the thin man casually, like killing a chicken, and they naturally didn't dare to take it lightly at this time.
Mike, who was as strong as a bear, took a deep look at Shen Feng and also lay on the ground.
Although he was extremely arrogant, he was by no means a fool.
Shen Feng completely came out of the shadows at this time, and the bearded man quietly raised his head, seeing the other party's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out to be an Asian teenager.
"Phew!" In the next instant, a bullet had been fired over his head, ending his life.
Everyone immediately bowed their heads deeply, buried their faces in the ground, and did not dare to move again.
Shen Feng looked coldly at these people lying on the ground, and did not speak, and the air instantly became depressed and silent.
Just now he had seen what these people were doing in secret, and understood that this was a group of vicious and vicious demons who ate people without blinking.
To deal with the wicked, only by being more vicious than them can we completely deter!
After a long and difficult minute, Shen Feng continued to ask in a deep tortured voice:
"Who are you? What is this place? What does the word on the dormant pod mean? ”
Everyone was silent, and Shen Feng had already stepped forward and put the muzzle of his gun against the back of the head of a man with tattoos all over his body.
"Start with you, three, two......"
The tattooed man's whole body trembled, and then he immediately said:
"We ...... We are inmates in the New York State Penitentiary...... My name is Danny, and I'm a felon, and I've been sentenced to 923 years in prison without parole for multiple serial killings and arson......
Jail? Sentence?
Shen Feng couldn't help frowning.
Many countries in the European and American legal systems have abolished the death penalty and implemented the concept of cumulative imprisonment, which may be sentenced to hundreds or even thousands of years in prison for a specific criminal.
In many cases, some of the most heinous felons can even be sentenced to thousands or even thousands of years in prison.
In this case, there will basically be no commutation or parole, which is equivalent to life imprisonment and imprisonment until death.
Combined with the words he had just heard in the shadows, the tattooed man was not lying.
In other words, these people are all felons!
In the area with the largest number of years that Shen Feng had just passed, the hatches of the dormant chamber had all been opened, and it was obvious that this was the place where these people had been sleeping.
And that Mike, the longest-serving prisoner here, was sentenced to 1762 years in prison!
"Why aren't you in jail, but in the hibernation pod?" Shen Feng continued to ask, "The imprisonment law of the Eagle Country has been revised?" ”
Hearing this, these prisoners couldn't help but show a look of surprise, looking at each other, as if they were a little surprised that Shen Feng didn't understand the reason.
Just feeling the cold touch of the barrel of the gun in the back of his head, the tattooed man had already begun to quickly explain everything he had experienced to Shen Feng.
In 2021, the Eagle Nation, which was rampant with white-left thinking and extreme pursuit of political correctness, officially abolished the death penalty in all states.
The collapse of the southern wall plan led to a resurgence of illegal immigration, coupled with the indiscriminate legalization of the country, which led to a skyrocketing crime rate throughout the country.
Originally, the number of prisoners in custody in the entire Eagle Country reached more than two million every year, but at this time, it directly doubled, reaching a huge five million.
With such a large number of prisoners, the entire prison system is overwhelmed, as well as a large amount of financial expenditure.
After all, just maintaining a more humane environment of incarceration is already costly, not to mention the prison guards and other related government workers.
All of this requires money.
After the abolition of the death penalty, the number of criminals was completely uncontrollable, and imprisonment had little deterrent effect.
At a time when the entire federal government was in a state of flux, a genius idea was proposed, and it was unanimously endorsed by both the government and the prisoners, and even the whole society cheered for this humane incarceration technique.
That is, deep space hibernation technology.
SpaceWorks, a company specializing in space application technology, has finally developed this epoch-making technology after a long-term cooperation with the Eagle National Space Agency (NASA), and it can be used maturely.
The so-called deep space hibernation technology was originally used for long-distance space travel.
After all, the speed of light or even sub-light speed flight has not been developed for a long time, and with the current human working fluid propulsion technology, it will take decades or hundreds of years to carry out a long space trip.
By the time the astronauts reach the target star, they will already be dead of old age.
It is much more convenient to enter the hibernation chamber for deep space hibernation.
In the environment of low temperature and dormant fluid, the body's metabolism is reduced to a minimum, thereby minimizing consumption, similar to entering a state of suspended animation.
Even after decades and hundreds of years, as long as the machine is not broken and the dormant fluid is constantly renewed, the people inside can always maintain their original physical state without the problem of old age and death.
SpaceWorks and NASA were originally intended to conduct long-distance space travel and colonization, but the technology, while theoretically reliable, also requires a large number of living samples.
After all, no one knows if such a long period of dormancy will cause any invisible damage to people's spirits and other aspects.
Of course, both agencies need money equally.
What if you do engage in long-distance space travel?
How many years does it take to launch a spaceship?
How many people can be transported at one time?
And the entire Eagle Country, but there are five million prisoners!
How profitable will it be!?
It's unimaginable!
The government also agrees with this approach, after all, it will save too much space, manpower and material resources, and the annual savings are even worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
After all, a sleeping pod occupies an area that is not as large as a bed, and there is no need to worry that the prisoners inside will escape, and there is no need for special guards at all.
Originally, a prison required hundreds of prison guards, but once dormant instead of incarceration, only a few technicians and clean-up personnel were needed.
As for the prisoners' side, of course, they agreed more!
Sentenced to decades in prison, you only need to lie down and sleep, and when you wake up, the whole person is still so young, the boring and terrible years of imprisonment are over, and you can still embrace the future.
Not to mention those felons who have been sentenced to hundreds or thousands of years in prison, who were originally going to die of old age in prison, but now they don't have to die at all!
They're about to move into a better future!
To some, it's a kind of time machine!
As for public opinion, those virgin white left?
Of course I agree more!
In this way, no one's rights and interests will be violated, those murderers, rapists, sadists, addicts, etc., etc., all kinds of perverts, have also been given a chance to mend their ways, why not.
For a time, the whole country fell into a frenzy, frantically admiring the birth of the dormant prison system, which was even called one of the greatest inventions of the century.
Later, even many criminals with sentences of less than a year began to protest, wanting to use dormant technology to serve their sentences and spend their boring sentences.
As a result, the millions of prisoners in the entire Eagle Country have all entered dormant silos, waiting for the end of their sentences.
For a time, the whole country was happy and peaceful, thinking that they had finally entered a great era.
"By the time we woke up, we were already here...... We don't know exactly what this place is...... Be...... It was Boss Mike ......who woke us up," the tattooed man said, giving him a cautious look at Mike.
When he woke up, he saw Mike and several other prisoners standing outside his hibernation pod, and they were the ones who woke him up.
At this moment, Mike, who had been not moving beside him, took advantage of Shen Feng's effort, and suddenly turned over like an angry black bear and pounced, pulled the barrel of the gun, and then a bear hug strangled Shen Feng fiercely!
