Chapter 260: The Overlap of Dreams and Reality
Lin Feng said, there was a trance in front of him, as if he had entered that dream again. He and Helen just stood face to face, running hand in hand, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the sea breeze, skiing in the mountains, surfing in the sea, and experiencing life that would never have been possible on a starship.
"It's really amazing, I feel like the dreams are so real, as if they happened to us. Could it be that I have a great divine power that can predict the future through dreams? This...... What can I do? I have already predicted our lives in advance, so what are the expectations for life? What else does it taste like? Lin Feng seemed to foresee a terrifying scene, his face changed suddenly, and he said in horror, how realistic it is to say that.
Helen stared at him coldly, seeing that he was almost done, before asking in a cold voice, "Then you foresee now, what will I do next?" ”
"Uh...... This one...... This ......" Lin Feng wilted suddenly, slurping and stumbling, but he didn't know what to say.
"Don't you be able to foresee future events? Why can't this little thing be predicted? ”
"Hehe, I just said that, I just wanted to make you laugh, don't be so serious, okay? Helen. Lin Feng looked at Helen with a salivating face and explained sneeringly.
"Let's go! Don't get there. Now that I know what you want to do, let's spend a few days walking through every famous spot on Earth! Let Chen Zhenbang's old man go alone! Helen stared at Lin Feng for a while, then let out a coquettish smile, grabbed Lin Feng with her right hand, and walked towards the outside of the Political Axe Building.
Lin Feng was also happy. Anyway, there are still nearly twenty days before the arrival of the second batch of starships, so take advantage of this leisurely time to take a good look at this most beautiful planet.
"Well, I said Helen, where are you taking me? Go so fast! ”
"Let's go see the sea! You know, I've never seen the sea with my own eyes! Well, by the way, you can also go swimming at the beach! It's worth looking forward to! ”
As soon as he heard the word swimming, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but tighten, and the shocking scene in his dream appeared in his mind again. He tried to stop it, but when he saw Helen's happy face, he closed his mouth again. After thinking about it, he laughed self-deprecatingly, with Helen's skills now, with his own strength, would he still care about that little wave?
On the beach, the two walked barefoot, shoulder to shoulder on the soft and delicate sand, feeling the numbness coming from the soles of their feet, the gentle waves rolled over their ankles, and behind them, there was a series of deep and shallow footprints......
At this moment, their hearts were incomparably peaceful.
While Lin Feng and Helen were wandering in the sea, lake, alpine and forest, feeling the breath of nature and the tranquility of their hearts, Chen Zhenbang was very busy.
This time, the number of people the federal axe needs to recruit is simply too large. The number of personnel on board the ship alone is more than a billion, which is not a small number. More importantly, the selection criteria are not generally high, at least in terms of the current physical fitness of human beings on the earth, those who meet the standards are already considered to be at the elite level. Therefore, it is still very difficult to select these billion people out of these tens of billions.
Of course, Chen Zhenbang will not be as all-encompassing as an ordinary leader, and if he does, he will not be able to sit in the position of president. All he has to do is to plan the work as a whole, and then arrange it for the big group of people in the political axe to handle it. Coupled with the assistance of the Federal Central Brain, the entire recruitment process was carried out quickly and methodically.
On the planetary side, this work is progressing relatively smoothly. Because the earth is always under the control of the federal axe, there is still quite complete data on the various conditions of citizens. Based on these information, the Central Intelligence Brain can first conduct a round of screening, screen out those who are roughly qualified, and then send an intention consultation to the qualified candidates to determine whether they are willing to enter the army. After all, this is just recruitment, not compulsory military service, and to a large extent depends on whether these people have the will to do so. You know, there are crises everywhere in space, and there is even a high possibility that they will participate in the war, and if they are unlucky, in an instant, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will accompany the starship to die in the void, and there are no bones left. This requires a strong sense of adventure and sacrifice.
To Chen Zhenbang's relief, after nearly ten days of heavy work, the recruitment task on the earth side has been successfully completed. In total, as many as 1.2 billion civilians on Earth will be new members of the Pioneer Fleet and join this grand cause. The vast majority of these people are not living in poverty, and despite the increasing strain on the earth's resources, they have not yet had much impact on the lives of civilians; It's not utilitarianism, wanting to win military merits on the battlefield in order to gain wealth and glory. They were more shocked and moved by the thousand-year-old struggle of the pioneer fleet, and wanted to realize the value of their lives in the baptism of blood and fire.
Of these 1.2 billion people, only about 200 million meet the standards for shipboard personnel. This is also where Chen Zhenbang has a headache. There are tens of billions of people, and only 200 million people meet the physical fitness standards! This is the planet where human beings originated, could it be that the people of the earth have fallen to such a point?
Helpless, Chen Zhenbang had no choice but to pin his hopes on the other six planets. The harsh environment will surely hone strong and determined people, especially those who have struggled in the slums for a long time, and the adaptability to the harsh environment is far beyond the reach of others. Although the underground mining area can block some of the strong rays of the universe, after all, its effect cannot catch up with the energy shield, and those who can survive must have strong physical fitness; The mixed social environment can temper a person's heart, forbearance, perseverance, perseverance, ruthlessness, and decisiveness, only such a person can win a foothold in the slums surrounded by the strong and the strong! So, the ghetto is both a hell for the weak and a paradise for the strong! As long as you have enough strength, it is enough to live a relatively stable life in the slums.
At the same time, because of their long isolation from mainstream society, it has become difficult for these people to find a way to earn a living within the confines of the Federation. The slums are barbaric and backward, and in order to prevent them from having the ability to resist, the family forces simply do not allow them to have modern industry, even scrapped mining machinery, they will not leave a single one. Because there are so many people, no one can guarantee that someone among them can transform them into machine tools for making primitive weapons. Therefore, after being liberated, they will face the problem of how to integrate into civilized society for various reasons.
Poor people who understand this situation, for the sake of themselves and their families, will also be eager to change their embarrassing situation and choose a new way of life and work. But now the number of jobs in the federation is declining instead of rising, and it is becoming saturated. This is not to say that there are no new jobs, but that due to the lack of resources and the sudden collapse of family power, the operating rate of enterprises under his control has plummeted, and more and more people are already feeling the pressure of unemployment. And if as much as 10 billion labor is suddenly invested in the labor market, it will inevitably make the already tight employment situation even more severe.
From this point of view, in fact, the recruitment of the pioneer fleet has really solved a major problem for the Federation, and if there are as many as 10 billion poor people on the six planets, if proper resettlement measures cannot be taken, it will inevitably greatly affect the stability of the Federation. Just imagine, the rise of 10 billion people who have no future and no hope will have a huge impact on the federal system and the lives of ordinary people. What's more, with the information brought back by the pioneer fleet, mankind will face an unprecedented crisis of extinction in the near future. At that time, I really wanted to cry without tears.
