Chapter 37: Once Upon a Time Earth
Looking at the fire burning in front of him, Yuan Li's mood was rare and a little comfortable.
Although burning these things is not much different from burning star coins, he is happier when he doesn't earn this money.
"It's fun to be able to help your own kind, right?" Dove suddenly appeared next to Yuan Li and said with a smile.
Yuan Li glared at Dove, "This time it's just by the way." ”
"Yes, yes, by the way."
"By the way, Captain," said Erin, too, "I found these things at Lolot, so look at them." ”
Yuan Li looked down and saw that Erin handed him a dozen materials and documents, he immediately took them and opened them to look at them, which were full of words and numbers that he couldn't understand, although he couldn't understand the content of the text, but he knew that this should be a list of people who had business dealings with him.
Yuan Li immediately handed the thing to Dove, "Can you understand?" ”
Dove looked at it for a moment, but shook his head, "I can't understand it all. ”
Yuan Li sighed, "This is an account, right, you can see if there is a name you are familiar with." ”
Dove nodded, looked at it seriously for a while, but suddenly frowned, "Huh? The name ......"
"What's wrong? What was found? Yuan Li asked nervously.
"I just saw a name that shouldn't be here...... Dove said after a pause, "Rebecca." Rebecca White. Although the number of appearances was small, some of the goods did go to her, and she also appeared in another document. ”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Li frowned and asked.
"The references in this profile are all his partners, and Rebecca's name has a high chance of appearing."
Yuan Li was taken aback, "Let's go back first." Let's see if Noah's system can translate all of these things. ”
"Okay." Dove and Boiling immediately responded.
"Wait, where's Grandpa?" Yuan Li subconsciously looked in the direction of the pile of black bricks that had just been burned, only to see that his grandfather was still standing there crying without tears......
"I'm going to bring Grandpa." Boiling immediately said in a familiar manner.
Yuan Li held his forehead, "Go and come back quickly." ”
Soon Grandpa was taken away by the boiling big arm, but on the way he kept shouting, "Destroy the heavens!" Give me two puffs of cigarettes! O loser! ”
Yuan Li sighed, "It's okay to be able to control it, it would be bad if he woke up his addiction, let's hurry up." ”
The group pushed the cart and took his munitions out of the woods along the avenue in the woods, and then went around to the wagon, and after a circle, the flames had spread to the very edge of the woods, and this place full of sin and blood was completely burned.
After carrying all the loot back to the pickup truck, the group embarked on the way home, walking all the way up the road from which they came, and when they passed by Lao Chen, they also gave him some arms and told him about Jason.
And when the group left Lao Chen again, Erin was a little distracted, and the feeling of this trip was probably the strangest for her.
To be honest, she did hope to take a ride on Yuan Li at first, but after getting along with Yuan Li and them for a while, she saw the kindness in their bones, and it was true that she wanted to escape at that time, and now she wants to stay.
And she, an earthling who grew up on Byron, would never have imagined that the human world would become like this.
When they first came here, they went all the way down from the top, and Erin quickly looked at the places where people lived, but now they were walking from the bottom up, which felt very strange.
After seeing how the people at the bottom lived, she seemed to understand a truth in an instant, "heaven" is just a thought left for the bottom human beings, they can't rise at all, there is no channel and no strength to climb up.
This world is a fateful world, where you were born, where is the end of your life, only one in 10,000 people with great opportunities, there is a trace of possibility to change fate.
And even if you have a big opportunity, you probably won't be able to blend in with the hypocritical crowd in heaven, and if you don't fit in, you're likely to fall to the bottom like Jason.
The universe is where those of them born into the universe belong......
Looking at the scenery outside the window receding little by little, Erin suddenly asked, "Yuan Li, why did you say the earth became like this?" ”
"What do you mean? Where has changed? Yuan Li said with a smile, "The human world is like this, the upper class people, the lower class people, these levels divided in the city have always been there since ancient times, but now these levels have become more intuitive." ”
"But even so...... These people in the Black Iron City...... No, I mean, these people below heaven are also living too miserably, is it true that the Earth Federation can't even solve the food problem? ”
"Who said it couldn't be solved?" Grandpa suddenly replied, "They have thought of many ways to solve it, planting easy-to-grow grains and vegetables on a large scale, soaking them in nutrient solution, and there are many ways." ”
Erin shook her head, "I still don't understand how the once beautiful earth could have come to such a state. ”
"Humph!" Grandpa snorted suddenly, "It's not the fault of the war!" ”
Yuan Li sighed, "The Interstellar Alliance was born only three hundred years ago, and there are still many races like Wajino who are secretly waiting for an opportunity, and the war has never stopped in the true sense. And humanity itself is in the midst of this protracted war. ”
Grandpa shook his head and continued, "Ancient human beings fought against each other in wars that could drag down an empire, and the United States of America, which dominated the world thousands of years ago, was almost dragged down by some small countries in their eyes. Not to mention the protracted wars that have broken out in the universe since the interstellar age. Imagine how humanity can gain a foothold in the universe in order not to be wiped out by other races, relying on this small earth. ”
"Damn...... Man-to-man naval warfare? Erin whispered back, "I've heard my dad tell these old stories before. ”
"Old stories?" Grandpa shook his head, "Human naval warfare, this scheme is still used today, and what is called human naval warfare is nothing more than non-stop birth, non-stop birth!" And then fill people into the bottomless pit of interstellar warfare. ”
"And fertility, war, these things need adequate food and resources." Yuan Li sighed and said, "In order to feed such a large number of people, the Earth Federation at that time asked all the farmers to cultivate a series of plants with fast reproduction and high harvest, such as wheat and potatoes, while all other crops were suspended.
The fallow system was abolished, and the land was irrigated with technological products, so that the land could be planted continuously, and the cities kept expanding, and when the land was all covered by cities, humans began to build cities in the sky, and the foundations were dug deeper and deeper.
Humans are constantly demanding everything from Mother Earth, mistakenly believing that they can use technology to dominate everything. But in the end, the cruel reality tells mankind that the earth will one day be overwhelmed and will take back everything it has given to mankind. ”
