Now is undoubtedly a better time than before.

The emergence of the Star Gate has gradually intensified the exchanges between various forces, and the magnitude of trade has increased several times compared to the past.

The whole galaxy began to become lively and prosperous.

If it can last for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to call it a golden age in later generations.

And behind the prosperity, there is blood and tears lurking in it?

Outside a large factory in a certain city, Qasim was walking in the direction of home.

There is a slight smell of rust in the air, which is the distinctive smell of the production of alloys.

Generally speaking, as long as the anti-pollution policy is in place, the pollution in the alloy production workshop will not leak out.

However, it is not impossible to reduce maintenance consumption in exchange for greater output.

Just accept that worker longevity and regional sustainability are reduced.

Qasim is 38 years old, and he was in the middle of the year.

It stands to reason that at this age plus technology, no matter where he is, he is a sweetheart, rushing to let him join the company.

But today, he was fired.

Qasim walked for five minutes to the platform of the fast train, and after a short time the train arrived, he stepped into it.

The place where he lives is almost 200 kilometers away from his place of work, which can be reached in about 25 minutes.

And when he arrived at his destination and walked out of the fast train station, a charge message was transmitted to the smart watch.

[Welcome to use the fast train, since you have not undergone prosthetic transformation, there is no preferential reduction, 40 credits for this consumption]

"Heh......

Qasim looked at the message and snorted in disgust.

I don't know when it began, but more and more people were fitted with prostheses.

And with the tilt of the policy, the implantation rate of prosthetics is also getting higher and higher.

At first, it was just one arm, then it developed into limbs, and then even the lower half of the body became a mechanical prosthesis.

There are fewer and fewer complete human beings like Qasim.

He also once lamented that the world is changing too fast.

Today, his job has been replaced by someone with a prosthetic.

With the popularity of prosthetics, the working hours are getting longer and longer, but the income is not increasing much.

Coupled with the involution system, those with a low implantation rate of prostheses will be replaced by those with a high implantation rate, resulting in almost all people being implanted with prostheses.

In the past, you didn't do it, some people did it, but now it has become ordinary people who don't do it, and some people who do it.

When Qasim stepped out of the platform, he was greeted by a bustling urban area.

The popularization of intelligent machinery has made the neighborhood extremely clean.

A projection business full of advertisements all around, and a constant news broadcast.

Qasim's home is not in the metropolitan area, and it is a few minutes away from a cruise bus to the outskirts of the city.

The suburbs are the first choice for the common people, and although they lack the support of high technology, they are similar to the old days, but the prices are cheap enough.

Only 40,000 credit points per square meter, compared to the urban area of one million square meters at every turn, in the absence of policy support, it is already very good.

Since Qasim was dismissed today, he was the first to return home.

Standing in the entrance, he looked at the flat floor of no more than 100 square meters, and sighed secretly: "The job is gone, and it is estimated that the supply will be cut off."

Qasim also thought about leading his family to emigrate to other empires, but when he thought of the high cost, he had no choice but to give up this idea.

The thought that his daughter would grow up in such a world made him feel sad and disappointed in the Empire.

"If only the Earth Star United Nations could find out about it."

In the midst of the ever-oppressed population, independent forces like the Earth Star United Nations are given a lot of expectations.

And it is the expectations of these people that have created the growth of the Earth Federation.

Earth Star United Nations, main line

Politics.

Leoli sat at a large round table and furrowed his brow a little tiredly.

Three years have passed since the establishment of the Earth Star United Nations.

In the past three years, in addition to the covert support of various forces, the oppressed people who have a sense of resistance are the foundation of the development of the Earth Federation.

Although many people say that the Earth Federation is the lackey of the big power empire, it is undeniable that the influence of the Earth Federation is no longer the independent force it was at the beginning.

If nothing else, the sphere of influence alone includes thousands of galaxies, spanning multiple star fields and star regions, and is the largest independent power in the entire galaxy.

"Chief, Kovorst sent a message asking how our operation was going, and how would you answer?"

Leoli frowned when he heard his subordinate's inquiry, "Tell him that the conflict and contradictions in their territory are caused by their own improper decrees, and it is none of our business, and they will not reconcile them."

The subordinate pondered for a while, and then said, "But he said that if he didn't help him solve this incident and there was a rebellion, he would adopt a policy of closing the border to us......

Leoli clenched his right hand and took a deep breath: "You just make an announcement, and if they continue to make inhumane laws, we will launch a referendum and declare war on them!"

The Earth Star United Nations has always resolved the issue through negotiation and will never go to war unless necessary.

Leoli is so strict this time, mainly because the other party has gone too far.

It is true that the Earth Federation has a relatively large harmonizing effect on ordinary people, but it is not used to wipe the butts of certain power empires.

After receiving the order, the subordinate withdrew from the communication, and Leoli pinched his brow again.

In the past three years, although the strength of the Dilian has grown a lot, it has become more difficult to manage.

In particular, the members of the Earth Star Alliance, with the support of the forces of other star domains, have already given birth to the idea of going alone.

"If we were the Human Federation......

Looking at the big star chart on the round table, Leoli snorted softly.

Among so many independent forces, the Ground Alliance is the position of the middleman.

And the People's Federation is almost on the opposite side of the power empire.

Now they firmly occupy the same large area of the galaxy, showing the world that they are not to be messed with.

The Ninth Sector of the Sixth Star Field.

This is the new core area of the People's Union.

"General, the scientific team has made new progress on the so-called Ascension Project.....

At the base in deep space, a prosthetic man is reporting to Lin Dengwan.

Lin Dengwan sat in a wheelchair, his hair was gray, but his spirit was still strong, and after listening to his subordinates' reports, he nodded.

"Since they want to ascend, then we wish them a helping hand."

Lin Dengwan's gaze looked out of the base, and a strange light fell on the base.

In this galaxy, apart from the stars and bases, there is only a diamond-shaped crystal about the size of a planet.

The light cast by the stars is emitted around the galaxy through diamond-shaped crystals.

What's even more special is that the diamond-shaped crystal is covered with layers of data, as if it were a substance circulating in the starry sky.

This is a related product of the ultimate ascension.
