May 3, 840 in the cosmic calendar.

In the commander's base, Rong Jixuan is communicating with his younger brother.

Rong Jiying contacted her sister to check the memorabilia of human beings in the past few months. It also confirms the fact that the Federation is in the midst of an unprecedented division, with the lower and upper layers of Saturn completely detached. More than ten percent of the population seems to have a definite intention to try what it's like to stand in the hands of the gods and be pampered.

Rong Jiying was silent - because the persuasion of the truth of war seemed to be becoming more and more powerful.

From the current point of view, the decoupling of the upper and lower levels of the federation has no impact on the upper population, and even the scientific research process of the upper echelons of the federation has become faster in the past two years. Since Rong Jiying has been stationed near the Magnetic Cloud Star for a long time, and his social circle also overlaps with this area, he knows very well that the Magnetic Cloud Star has no feelings about the war on Saturn!

In the past, investment in scientific research and people's livelihood were in conflict. Because there is a contradiction in the distribution of funds on these two sides. Several large-scale interstellar development and exploration projects of the Federation in the past few hundred years have been closed due to the turmoil of public opinion, and funds have been forcibly moved to areas closer to the understanding of the people.

But now society is completely decoupled into two parts. In a sense, large-scale scientific research projects have become upper-level livelihood projects. The top class of society has always pursued spiritual fulfillment when material pursuits are satisfied.

The knowledge and new discoveries derived from advanced scientific research projects can satisfy the "advanced interest" and become people's livelihood projects. There will be no collision between scientific exploration and people's livelihood.

As for medical care, diet, housing, and the wearing of machinery and equipment, for some people, this is a drop in the bucket of the value created by this class. The seven million people at the top of the federation no longer rely on these material desires to promote social development, so there is a major separation from the lower classes.

[In the early stage of industrial development, society naturally needs to stimulate the efforts of all strata with the possibility of clothing, food, housing, transportation, food and clothing, various tourism, travel, entertainment, culture, and financial power. However, when society develops to an advanced stage, it still emphasizes the necessity of the above-mentioned low-level "spiritual life", and then summarizes this consumption into the use of people's livelihood funds, and uses this as an excuse to discourage higher-level exploration, then it can only show that a large number of social strata cannot keep up with the times and need war to correct it. - This is what historians emphasize as 'correction' after World War III. 】

The situation of the federation at this time is a long-term accumulation of contradictions in the era of multiculturalism, and there is a lack of bold politicians (real reformers who dare to keep up with the times in the face of controversy). In the end, the 'soft decoupling' developed into today's 'hard decoupling' scene.

Soft decoupling: Grassroots people completely get rid of the old culture with continuous investment in education and government guidance. Hard decoupling: It is to decouple a group of people together.

In order to develop, it is necessary to decouple from the past in any case. But for society, it's important who leads the decoupling.

1. Politicians who are responsible for the grassroots and want to buffer the impact of decoupling from all aspects, distribute responsibilities to the whole people, and then lay the foundation for the subsequent civil rights struggle, are left.

2. But those who are already sitting at the top, before that, the economy, social circle, life culture, and education level have long been separated from the lower class, and they lead the decoupling, and it is easy to become a kind of right direction.

The situation on Saturn has developed to this day, and the upper echelons of the Federation feel 'betrayed' by their own people, and many policies are turning to the right.

Now, for example, the latest federal law in January this year began to gradually open up the selection of war builders to counter the temptation of rebirth of the rebels.

The Federation's body conversion technology is obviously better than that of the rebels, and many artificial organs are first-class precision parts. And in terms of law, it is absolutely transparent to the war maker, and when docking the brain chip, it will definitely not load too much brain control. The only restriction is the prohibition of battlefield slaughter! It is forbidden to destroy artifacts and works of art, items similar to the rules of chivalry.

But this is in essence contrary to the spirit of the federal charter. This took the technical route of artificial bodies.

……

The provisions of the Federal Charter on the rights of the people were adopted in the year 324 of the Cosmic Calendar.

In the technical route of 'artificial body' and 'somatic control', the charter defines the technical route of 'somatic control' and negates the technical route of 'artificial body'.

The technical route of 'body control' is the development route of today's supreme profession. Through efforts from generation to generation, we have been able to measure the data related to the expression of our genes during development, and then implant various auxiliary nanomachines in the body to strengthen the body.

(Again: genetic data really can't be a ride on someone else's ride, you have to test it yourself.) For example, if you have the genes to become a world athlete, and you work hard, to become a world athlete, to prove that your genes have this potential in a particular dietary regulation. If you stay at home every day, drink sugar water, eat protein bars, and have no opportunity to express your genes, there will be no data to support your gene-specific nutrition and kinesiology, as well as your learning programs at all stages of your youth. ）

From this, it can be seen that the body controls the route, and it is obvious that accumulation is very important! Dozens of generations can accumulate to form an insurmountable social divide.

But why, then, the very enlightened and progressive Confederation, chose this route in the process of making major decisions about human development? Added: Su Hawk also supports the 'human body control' route.

Because the Federation wanted to contain the chaebol at that time, the "artificial body" route could easily resurrect the chaebol.

Historically, why were the chaebols able to control state power! Because the assets in their hands control the lifeblood of the country. What is the lifeblood? Food is the lifeblood – an important reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union was the lack of self-sufficiency in food. - Steel, coal mines, electricity, these things that can cause destabilization in the whole country if something goes wrong are the lifeblood!

There are various industries such as artificial bodies, which are replaced by organs. If this industry is to develop, the state must give autonomy to stimulate innovation, and it is impossible to stimulate it with institutional policies. But once autonomy is granted, it must be a new chaebol!

This industry is not a mobile phone or computer industry. The price of mobile phones and computers has risen, at most, there are more complaints on the Internet, which does not affect survival. But what about artificial organs? Once the industry expands and controls it is still in the hands of the newly emerging conglomerates, it will create oligarchs more than privatization of seigniorage. Its importance is directly comparable to that of grain control, which is easier to control than grain – after all, the grain industry can be synthesized in the field, or even in a workshop-level reactor, and as long as profits allow, it is simply uncontrollable. The artificial organ industry is technology-intensive, and as long as the core factory and a few supply chains are kept, it is easier than the US imperialists on the planet in the 21st century to control oil.

At that time, when there was still a residual financial mentality, the federation would never allow it.

In the past few hundred years of the Federation, artificial body technology has been limited to a very small number of people such as war builders and disabled soldiers, and has been contracted by social welfare. Only a handful of companies are doing it.

In short: the technology related to the war maker is not bad technology, but the political power that may be involved behind it can directly destroy the republic, which makes the federal politicians of that generation have to be cautious! You can only give the choice to the subordinates...... Deal with it on your behalf.

In the most ideal state, it is natural that everyone has gone through the road of 'human body control' technology, and everything in the human body is under the docking of nano systems, which can perfectly link intelligence and control all kinds of advanced mechanical systems. You don't need to cut enough to fit your own large number of organs into a unified standard of non-machine officers in order to efficiently participate in the control of first-class tools.

But the ideal state of 'everybody working hard' is clearly bankrupt today.

After the Federation announced the opening of the selection of war makers, in a recent social survey, 60% of the people in the society showed support, and it was clear that after the news was announced, the rebels' actions to "break out of the cocoon" were greatly reduced (just as it is absurd that in the early twentieth century, the East curbed the loss of silver from the opium trade, and finally relied not on the ban on smoking, but on the fact that local opium was cheaper than foreign opium in the early Republic of China). ）

Today, 800 years later, most of the people in Saturn's society have chosen the short-term easier path of mechanical organs with their feet.

……

In the base, in the virtual space, Rong Jiying looked at the latest news of Saturn.

The boy muttered to himself, "No, this is a betrayal, you are a betrayal. ”

Rong Jiying's choice of the humans on the main star of the Federation felt unbearable.

A year earlier, he had clearly denied the truth of the war, and had righteously spoken out, threatening not to abandon the people of the Federation under any circumstances. However, now the people of the Federation have abandoned the Federation first.

Now Rong Jiying wants to be blackened.

'Huh', Rong Jixuan's form appeared next to Rong Jiying, she thought that Rong Jiying was worried about the development of the war.

Rong Jixuan smiled and comforted his younger brother: "Jiying, are you watching the battle situation of the main star?" Well, don't worry, we've got the big picture of Saturn. It is expected that within the next two years, all rebellions will be completely suppressed. ”

Rong Jiying raised his head and said coldly: "Why can't it be suppressed now, why do you say two years later?" ”

Rong Jixuan was stunned.

Rong Jiying asked reluctantly: "Do you say that within two years, the federation is going to plan something?" ”

Rong Jixuan sighed: "War will definitely bring changes. ”

Rong Jiying looked at her sister and added, "Do you have to make such a change?" Why, we can't stop the Fall! ”

Rong Jixuan raised his eyebrows, looked at his serious brother, and said slowly: "The Federation will not compromise on the right to rule. No matter how many people die, it won't. Those who want to go, let them go. ”

Rong Jiying was silent for a long time.

Just when Rong Jixuan began to worry a little about whether his younger brother was influenced by the people of the Global Resistance Front.

Rong Jiying raised his head and said, "I know, some people are not worth saving now." ”

Rong Jixuan sighed and said, "Yes, maybe that's the case." ”

……

Give up, for granted. But because human beings are interconnected, it is 'natural' that it will be vetoed by the willfulness that suddenly arises.

July 7, 840 in the cosmic calendar.

Jun Jiexing finally got the list of the Federation's missing detectives on the Nanyan Continent.

When he saw Gartley's name on it, he didn't believe it was true. Clicking on the communication, I was about to ask "Why did the consuls of the Federation not inform themselves until now", but his hand was slightly suspended and slowly lowered. Jun Jiexing recalled that in the past few months, Bai Jiuyang had frequent phone calls to himself, and realized that the mentor wanted to slowly explain himself.

Jun Xingxing unconsciously walked to the glass window of the experimental base, looked at Saturn outside the window, let out a long sigh, and gave up the plan to dial the federal Saturn administration - because it was pointless - dialed another number.

Auckland Region.

In the 60,000-cubic-meter nuclear-powered underwater engineering submarine of the submarine mechanical engineering command center, Wave Wheel Plastic Force and eight other workers are controlling the system.

Wave Plastic Force is in the general control room, looking at the list of positions applied for by the first batch of new war makers this year.

This kind of deep-sea job has always required skilled workers. Artificial intelligence, which is suitable for the complex environment of the deep sea, is often too large and inconvenient to move, and the human implanted chip just meets this position in terms of adaptability and volume. It's just that in the past, due to charter constraints, it has always been senior mechanics who used wire-controlled low-level artificial intelligence to map the seabed.

Compared with ten years ago, the appearance of Wave Wheel Plastic Force has not changed, but its eyes and temperament have changed a lot.

There was a flash of light on his helmet.

Raising his head to look at the caller with the smart prompt, he couldn't help but be stunned, his face twisted, and then clicked on the communication.

Jun Xingxing appeared on the interface, bowed first, and asked, "Father, I want to ask about Gartley." I just learned about his disappearance, and the relevant details are still very unclear, and I don't feel comfortable letting others inquire about it, please tell me the whole truth. ”

In the past few months, Wave Wheel Plastic Force has gradually faded his sadness, and now that Jun Xingxing has come to look for him because of this incident, the scars in his heart have been lifted again.

Of course, he doesn't blame Junjun for winning stars. Jun Xingxing's serious appearance made him feel emotional.

Su Li originally thought that Jun Xingxing had entered the Commander Academy, and then turned into a master manufacturer, and he no longer remembered the Gartley who often troubled him as a child. And now he finds that the relationship between Jun Jiexing and Gartley is much deeper than he imagined.

After hesitating for a full twenty seconds, Wave Wheel Plastic Force sent a message informing Jun of the situation of picking stars, and persuaded: "Picking stars..." After a long pause, he sighed as if trying to get rid of the weight of the nightmare: "Everything has happened. ”

Ten minutes after he sent the message.

After reading the situation, Jun picked up the stars and sent a brief notice to Wave Wheel Plastic Force: "Father, I know, you don't need to say anymore, you have to see people in life and corpses in death, and if you don't completely determine the situation, it will be difficult for me to be stable in my life." ”

Wave Wheel Plastic stared at Jun Xingxing's communication for a full five minutes, looking at this son's unusually solemn expression, he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stiff.
