Chapter 200: First Arrival!
Unlike the New World, which is divided into several states, Mars has a land area of no less than the New World, but there are only fifteen large cities in total, and hundreds of small cities scattered together. All of the Federation's human beings, two billion people, live in these cities. On average, the population of each big city is around 100 million, so you can imagine how big these big cities will be.
This is due to the fact that Mars is so scarce compared to Earth, even after hundreds of years of transformation. Every city is either next to a large river, or there are huge water veins underneath, and there are many cultivators who use divine creation techniques to create water sources, which fully satisfies the water needs of the Federation people in all aspects.
That's right, unlike Fang Yi's imagination that the Federation was almost all new humans, the old humans here also accounted for a considerable proportion, about thirty percent.
The combination of a new human and a new human must be a new human, and it is likely that it is an old human without any special abilities. Therefore, some of these old human beings have turned into the prevalent Jiaxiu on the earth and played a very important role in the construction of Mars, and some of them are ordinary people without any power, living in the specially divided areas of various cities.
These old humans, classified by federal law as so-called second-class citizens, are inferior to the new humans in terms of social status and do not enjoy many of the social benefits of the new humans. In the army of the Federation, the main composition is still the new humans, and the old humans are only a very few.
The city where Fang Yi is now located is called Wangcheng, which is one of the fifteen great cities.
Wangcheng covers a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, which is larger than any city on earth, and even the republican capital Amagi is far incomparable. The huge cyan city wall towers over more than 100 meters, enclosing the entire city circle, and everyone enters and exits through the four major gateways of southeast, south, and northwest, and must show their ID card when entering and exiting. But with Fang Yi's speed, it was just a breeze to flash into the city.
Fang Yi, who was walking on the spacious streets of Wangcheng, had already changed into a unique style of clothes from the Federation at this time. He watched the traffic on the road, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road competing for each other, the sidewalks hurriedly talking with their mobile phones, and the beautiful female anchors on the wall screen were broadcasting the news...... All kinds of familiar scenes made Fang Yi wonder if he was still on Earth.
More than 90 percent of the republicans, including the former Fang Yi, think that the Federation is very backward, thinking that this heretical regime that pursues the feudal imperial system is at a level similar to that of feudal society, both politically and economically and culturally.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Fang Yi wouldn't have believed that the Federation's civilization had reached a level no less than that of the Earth Republic. You must know that the environment of Mars is so harsh, and when the Federation people come, they can use very few resources, and in hundreds of years, they have caught up with the republican civilization that has a huge advantage in resources, which has to make Fang Yi also a little admired.
At this time, Fang Yi began to understand why the republic blocked all news about the federation in the media and on the Internet, because letting the people know that the federation is now strong is tantamount to highlighting the incompetence of the republican axe.
"I don't know what the meaning of this act of covering my ears and stealing the bell is?" Fang Yi shook his head secretly.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Yi found a peculiar place, on the city traffic road that was spacious enough to pass ten cars, there was a crimson area in the middle that was divided by reading power, occupying the width of four cars, but not a single car passed on it.
Immediately, Fang Yi noticed that on this crimson road, every distance passed, a totem composed of black scythes and blood-red swords intersecting each other, surrounded by five gold stars.
This totem Fang Yi is no stranger, he has seen it on the Internet before, and it is the totem of the federal royal family.
"Could it be that this road is specially prepared for the royal family, and no one is allowed to pass on it except the royal family?"
Thinking of this possibility, Fang Yi couldn't help but be slightly speechless, faintly feeling the huge influence of the royal family in the Federation, at least on the earth, if the republic opened up such a road for political axe officials to pass, it would definitely be criticized to death by human rights organizations.
Just thinking like this, Fang Yi saw a line of vehicles turn around at the end of this crimson road, compared to the vehicles on both sides, the shape of this line of vehicles was too luxurious, and the motor sound of one of the cars was completely different from the others.
When Fang Yi heard the sound of the motor, his expression moved: Three-star Demonic Beast Motor, his expression immediately changed, because he actually felt that in this car, there were actually three Qi Shock Realm Ancient Martial Artists and one Sky Realm Ancient Martial Artist!
You must know that it is not easy for an ancient martial artist to cultivate to the Qi Shock Realm, let alone the Sky Realm, even if it is Zheng He, he is limited by qi and blood, and he cannot break through for a long time, until he takes the Dragon Ball Fruit, he succeeds in one fell swoop. And here, in a certain black long car, there was actually a Void Realm Ancient Martial Artist, faintly with heaven and earth energy.
Moreover, Fang Yi also "saw" that there were some red points of light that seemed to be spiritual power but not spiritual power emanating from the pedestrians who had stopped in various places around them, converging towards the car.
"What is this? There are no fluctuations?" Fang Yi had now reached the realm where he could "see" the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and at this time, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw this point of light that was obviously different from any energy he had ever seen before.
Fang Yi's eyes froze, he saw through the dark car window, and saw the sky-high realm powerhouse sitting inside.
It was a charismatic middle-aged man, with his eyes closed, a sparse beard on his cheeks and chin, and a well-made black coat and a slender sky-blue tie, which looked more like the boss of a large group.
Suddenly, as if aware of the peeping, the middle-aged man opened his eyes, a sharp light burst out, his consciousness fluctuated, perceiving everything around him, and after a few seconds, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Fang Yi stood in the crowd and smiled slightly, he had a preliminary assessment of the strength of this middle-aged man, in terms of divine sense, this person was much worse than Fang Yi.
Fang Yi turned his eyes and found that the eyes of the people around him were full of awe when they looked at the line of vehicles, so he casually asked an old human youth standing beside him, "Dude, who are they?"
The young man glanced at Fang Yi and said, "You just arrived in Wangcheng, right? This is the convoy of the Minister of Education, Wangcheng, which just arrived yesterday, is now going to the university town to inspect." I think that among the nine ministers, only this Minister of Education is the most close to the people and the most enthusiastic, and often travels between the colleges, so that we second-class citizens have the opportunity to further their studies. ”
The Minister of Education, the Nine Ministers, Fang Yi's heart moved, and it seemed that the internal composition of the federal political axe was quite different from that of the Republic, but on the surface, he nodded in agreement.
The crimson road was clear, and the Minister of Education's motorcade soon disappeared at the end of the road, and pedestrians continued to move.
Fang Yi's eyes fell on the huge wall-mounted TV in a building, where the female anchor was broadcasting the latest war between the Federation and the Republic.
“...... The 3rd Space Army of our state and the 6th Space Army of the Republic encountered 13 million kilometers from the middle boundary line to the earth, and the fierce battle lasted for 58 Mars, and finally the Republic of the 6th Space Army was defeated and fled. At the same time, the First and Fifth Universe Armies of our state have also defeated the enemy army one after another, which marks that the scope of space occupied by our state has increased by 4 million kilometers again. I believe that under the leadership of the great Emperor Hong De, our state will definitely win the final victory in this shameful battle!"
The words of the beautiful female anchor were full of joy and excitement, and finally Zhengse said: "Long live the great Emperor Hong De, long live the great Federation!"
"Long live the great Emperor Hong, long live the great Federation!"
A roar of excitement and infinite adoration rang out from many places, and it turned out to be a huge wave.
Fang Yi glanced over and saw that many of the Federation people were red-faced, their eyes were fanatical, their voices were hoarse, and they raised their fists and shouted, like fanatical religious elements.
And at this time, Fang Yi "saw" that many red points of light rushed out of the bodies of these hoarse and screaming people, and converged with the points of light that came out of various places in Wangcheng, converging into a huge torrent that others couldn't see or feel at all, flowing in a certain direction.
Fang Yi saw this kind of thing again, and the scope was so huge and majestic, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"These red points of light actually belong to a kind of 'Tao'? It seems that the more fanatical people are, the more such points of light emanate, is it related to faith?"
In the midst of the huge shouts, Fang Yi thoughtfully walked away silently, his mood was a little gloomy, because of the defeat of the war on the republican side, and also because of the terrible fanaticism of these Federation people, the kind of unity of mind.
"The hatred of hundreds of years ago has been integrated into the blood of the Federation, and in their opinion, this war is not a war of aggression, but a battle of shame and glory!"
With such hatred, those Union soldiers must be fearless of death, and they are united in their hearts, so it is no wonder that the Republican Congress is losing ground one after another. More than 500 years of comfort, and the conceit of natural superiority, have made the republican axe more and more corrupt and degenerate, otherwise, the Federation would not have been able to catch up with the republic in all respects in five hundred years!"
"It seems that I destroyed the super mothership of the Fourth Space Fighting Army, and it won't change the entire battle situation. A certain powerhouse, even if it is a powerhouse in the Sky Realm, is powerless to change too much in such a grand war. Unless it is a mountain opening realm powerhouse like the Flower View Lord or the Dragon Lord, it is possible to turn the entire battle tide on his own. However, who can guarantee that within the Federation, there will be no powerhouses in the Pioneer Realm?"
"Since the Minister of Education is in the Vacant Realm, the remaining eight ministers are most likely to be strong people of this level, and the strength of the Federation, whether it is martial arts or technology, is not weaker than the Republic at all...... And Mars does not have a complicated situation like the earth, on the new continent, it is the republican axe in charge of everything in the republic, but secretly there is the Dragon Palace to control everything, and the mysterious Panyun Continent sits on one side, and several forces are intriguing and fighting secretly. However, the military, police, and government forces within the republic have their own contradictions, and they cannot be unified and coordinated. With such internal and external troubles, the republic has little chance of winning this war......"
It had only been half an hour since Fang Yi entered the city, and he had already been affected by many shocks, thinking of many things, and secretly worried about the future of the republic, but since he had decided to enter the world to cultivate, he should temporarily let go of everything in the past, nothing was more important than increasing his cultivation.
Walking on the bustling streets seemingly casually, Fang Yi didn't know where he should go, but since he decided to enter the WTO to practice, if nothing else, he had to find a place to live first, a job that satisfied him with food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Fang Yi began to pay attention to the shops on the street that posted recruitment notices on the door, and was stunned to find that finding a job in the Federation was not at all easier than the earth, and even more difficult, even the shopping guides in ordinary stores required a university diploma recognized by the Federation, and without exception, they all needed to register with their identity cards, report to the Federal Security Center through the Internet, and give feedback to confirm that there were no current criminal facts before they could be hired.
The federal hand is more poisonous, everyone must graduate from college to be eligible for employment, and to a great extent, it has eliminated the lurking of rogue criminals.
Although Fang Yi is not a wanderer, he does not have an employment diploma, and he does not have an identity card to confirm his identity, so it may not be so easy to find a decent job.
"Hmm, I can't imagine that there are beggars in the Federation?" Fang Yi stared at a middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a ragged beard and a broken bowl in front of him, his eyes showing surprise.
You must know that on the earth, beggars have become a term in history, although the republican political axe has a serious internal [***] struggle, but it has indeed done a good job in people's livelihood, and now that Jiaxiu is popular, at least there will be no displacement without food. Even if it is really a person who does not know anything, the political axe will issue a sufficient amount of relief, and although it is not possible to live a good life, basic food is not a problem.
Fang Yi didn't expect that there were still beggars in the Martian Federation. He watched from afar for a moment, and saw that the passers-by were indifferent and hurried, and few people looked at the beggar by the roadside, let alone threw coins into the broken bowl. Ten minutes passed, and only a kind teenage new human girl passed by and hurriedly took out a note from her pocket and threw it into the bowl. The little girl was immediately dragged away by what appeared to be her mother, and before leaving, she glared at the beggar in disgust.
In this scene alone, Fang Yi realized the indifference of the interpersonal relations of the people of the Federation. In other words, it is a kind of disregard for second-class citizens by the new humanity.
Walking along the road, Fang Yi saw several beggars again, sure enough, they were all old humans, and these old humans all had the same characteristics, there was neither internal breath nor armor energy in the body, in this era, they were out-and-out wasted people, no wonder they didn't even have the ability to make a living, they could only live by begging.
"There is no doubt that the feudal monarchy implemented by the federation, although it centralizes all rights and facilitates the comprehensive management and macroeconomic regulation of the federation by the political axe, but it also inherits the feudal bad habits, which is different from the republic's concept of equal civil rights, the hierarchy here is too serious, and even after hundreds of years of evolution, those old human beings have gradually become accustomed to this unequal treatment...... It seems that the new human ancients have inflicted their hatred for the old humans on the earth on these second-class citizens. ”
Fang Yi did not believe that the federal royal family did not notice this situation, the only possibility is that the royal family acquiesced to the existence of this class difference and deliberately maintained this situation, which may also be a way to maintain imperial power, because in the federation, it is always the new human beings who dominate.
"It seems that it is really not easy to find a bright job, is it possible that I also want to follow the example of those beggars and put on a broken bowl?"
Fang Yi walked around for a long time, but he didn't find a suitable job, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that the world was difficult, and suddenly he saw several people in uniform and sticks getting down from a car not far away, all of them fierce and vicious, arrogant, and walking quickly towards a beggar who was begging.
The beggar, who seemed to be blind, suddenly turned his eyes black, suddenly saw the light again, grabbed the bowl on the ground and ran away, although he was not cultivated, but his skills were quite vigorous, and he soon ran out of the distance, shouting indistinctly, and the other beggars heard the sound and reacted to run away.
Those in uniform did not chase after them, and after a few words of unclean cursing, they all got into the car, started the car and drove away.
Fang Yi looked at it a little widely, could these uniformed guys be the legendary city administrators who could maintain world peace? This kind of great profession has long been classified as a historical cancer in the Republic of Earth, and it has been banned for hundreds of years, and I can't imagine that it can still be seen on Mars.
However, since the Federation even has beggars, it is not surprising that there are city administrators again.
Fang Yi shook his head, he didn't know how to evaluate the Federation now.
To say advanced, the science and technology of the Federation is in no way inferior to that of the Republic, and even more advanced than the Republic in some aspects. To say that it is backward, the federation implements a monarchy, deliberately divides classes, and has historical obsolete products such as beggars and chengguan.
However, such a collection full of contradictions is growing and growing at an unimaginable speed, and Fang Yi even suspects that if the Federation is given a few hundred more years, it may completely go to the front of the republic.
Fang Yi is not a sociologist after all, so he has no way to analyze the reasons, the only thing he understands now is that he can't even be a beggar, even if he is as strong as him, he is not the opponent of these city administrators.
Turning into a narrow alley, Fang Yi's body moved, and he turned into nothing, reaching an altitude of more than 1,000 meters above the ground.
Hiding all the aura, Fang Yi looked at it and found that this Wangcheng seemed to be divided into two major areas, east and west, with a river as the dividing line. The eastern area where he is now located is full of high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and people's voices, showing the endless prosperity of the modern city everywhere.
But on the other side of the river, the tallest buildings are only about ten floors, most of them are only three or four storey low-rise buildings, and farther away, in addition to a large area of various crop cultivation land, is actually a dense and simple shantytown. The roofs of the shantytowns were densely packed together, stretching far away, and from a distance they looked like the scales of some kind of monster.
A river divides a city into two completely different worlds, east and west.
Fang Yi's brows twisted slightly, as early as before, when those red points of light converged into a torrent, he found that there were very few red points of light produced in one side area, not as good as one-tenth of this area, now that he looked at it, Fang Yi probably understood.
The division of classes will inevitably lead to a deepening of the gap between the rich and the poor, so it is not difficult to understand the emergence of polarization and even the emergence of slums.
"This is a good thing for me, although the federal control is strict, but the slums are the most mixed places, even the federal royal family, I'm afraid they can't control it all, I can go over there and try it. ”
Fang Yi's body moved, but in a moment, he had already crossed the river, reached the other side of the river, and found an uninhabited alley to land from the sky.
On both sides of the narrow alley, there are a lot of messy things, and garbage is all over the ground, and it seems that it has not been cleaned up for a long time, making the whole alley full of rancid smell.
Fang Yi walked out of the alley and walked slowly on the street, the street was still lively, and it didn't look deserted, but it couldn't be compared with the Hedong side, the architectural styles here were very old, the vehicle styles were not novel, and the clothes of passers-by were mostly ordinary. What Fang Yi noticed was that almost all of the people here were old humans, and there were very few new humans, and not necessarily one out of ten people could not be seen, which was in stark contrast to the situation where there were far more new humans than old humans in the Hedong region.
"This should be considered a more prosperous area in Hexi, and the places close to those shantytowns and slums will only be more modest. The federal axe deliberately divides the new and the old humans in a geographical way, and although there is a suspicion of class, it is undeniable that this will reduce the direct conflict between the old and the new humans. ”
"Moreover, the old humans here, although most of them have cultivated in their bodies, and even there are a lot of armor cultivators, but there are generally no masters, within a radius of twenty kilometers, there are only five powerhouses in the Broken Water Realm, and none of them are strong in the Broken Steel Realm, which is very likely that the Federal Political Axe deliberately suppressed the combat effectiveness of the old humans and eliminated the possibility of chaos. ”
Fang Yi thought about it carefully, the federal political axe seemed to have relaxed the management of the Hedong region, but in fact, it firmly controlled the situation in another way.
"Stop him!" a woman shouted not far ahead, angry and unwilling.
The motor of an apparently modified vehicle roared away, but a hand came out of the window, holding a women's bag and tossing it around as if showing off, and there was a faint sound of wild and excited laughter.
The woman was still shouting, but all the passers-by were indifferent, and there was not a single car in the lane to intercept the robbery car, or even avoid it.
Bikers?
Fang Yi frowned, he didn't expect the crime to be so rampant in Hexi, and the surname was so indifferent, as soon as the thought moved, a finger shot out covertly, directly piercing the tire, the fast-moving car shook its head and tail, and hit the street lamp with a bang, and the lamppost smashed down and embedded in the roof.
Although Fang Yi did not agree with the extremes of killing Zen Dao, he also agreed with the principle that evil has evil retribution, and since he met it, he didn't mind doing it on behalf of the heavens.
The sudden car accident immediately caused chaos, and the woman who was robbed of the bag was dumbfounded, and then ran away without looking back. You must know that the biker party has a huge power, and it will be retribution, and now that this kind of thing has happened, she will definitely not end well when she is investigated, so how dare she stay again?
Fang Yi shook his head secretly, and quietly left in this chaos.
(To be continued)
