Since the development of human society, countless waves have changed and dynasties have changed. There have been countless trendsetters of the era who have stepped onto the stage of history and then quickly disappeared into the tide.
But not every being who stands at the top of the pyramid has been replaced by future generations.
Especially after the second industrial revolution, the value of personal labor power has no longer become the most important resource, and the speed at which ordinary people accumulate wealth has become increasingly unable to keep up with the changes of the times.
The relatively stable social environment also allows the class that controls the means of production to accumulate wealth like a snowball. Folk sayings such as 'You can't get rich for more than three generations' have gradually lost their meaning.
Gradually, oligarchs representing twelve major industries including agriculture, medical care, military industry, trade, and information technology began to emerge.
From competition with each other at the beginning, they gradually transformed into cooperation with each other, and even began to marry like in the feudal society period. Their relationship with each other became more and more complex, and their social status became more and more stable.
This is what the zodiac originally looked like.
"Through the bundling of interests, the members of the Zodiac have actually formed an interest network with the upper class. When the new federation was established, the higher-ups had long been aware of it and had prepared for their comeback."
Professor Qin controlled his AP bracelet and sent it into the air with a swipe of his finger.
The next moment, a fictitious screen appeared in front of the two of them.
Chen Yun looked up with confusion, and a completely enclosed glass cabin appeared on the screen.
The cabin is about fifty square meters, with walls three meters high and made entirely of special glass.
And in this special "sunroom", a pile of pink "rotten meat" occupied almost two-thirds of the entire room.
More than a dozen staff members wearing isolation suits and gas masks were surrounding the house with various testing instruments in their hands, conducting various data monitoring on the 'Roshan' in the room.
Chen Yun looked at the video and frowned: "The pile of meat in the middle...why does it look like a person..."
Although the shape of this meat mountain has been severely distorted, Chen Yun still vaguely saw the lump that looked like a head buried in the pile of meat, and the 'meat whiskers' that looked like human hands near the camera.
Facing Chen Yun's question, Professor Qin just stared deeply at the projection in mid-air and did not answer.
Just when Chen Yun glanced at Professor Qin and didn't have time to continue speaking, the researchers who gathered around the sunroom and recorded data suddenly panicked.
As if a disaster was coming, they all rushed to the safe passage. In the panic, collisions and stampedes inevitably occurred.
Although the video did not record sound, from the shaky camera and the way everyone struggled to run to the safe passage, a feeling of nervousness and panic rushed over them.
The next moment, the bodies of those who had not yet had time to escape twisted and swelled at the same time.
They were like inflated balloons, beginning to expand rapidly and uncontrollably. The isolation suit originally worn on the body gradually became tight, and then it was torn apart little by little, revealing the dark red and enlarged sarcoma inside.
"Bang!"
There was a silent explosion, and all the people blocking the door of the safe passage expanded to the limit, and they all exploded like smashed watermelons.
For a moment, the entire scene was filled with flesh and blood, and the lens responsible for recording the scene also fell to the ground. The last scene was framed on the huge humanoid sarcoma in the sun room.
Then, the video ends.
Professor Qin waved his hand, closed the floating screen, turned around and asked, "What do you think?"
"What this video records...is the research on the Realm Master?"
Chen Yun frowned: "It can be seen that those researchers should have been contaminated by psychic energy in their final encounter."
Professor Qin nodded: "It is indeed pollution, and it is an intense pollution with psychic energy fluctuations exceeding 5000 PA. However, the research target is not the realm master, but an experimental subject...according to current theory, it should be called 'Awakened One'."
While talking, Professor Qin handed a new stack of documents to Chen Yun.
"The video you just saw was captured by federal agents thirty years ago, and the division of the Zodiac also began thirty years ago."
Chen Yun took the document handed over by Professor Qin.
The folded paper with some traces of fire was the documents they had rescued from the small county town when they fought against Cheng Haige.
The document records some of Cheng Haige's experimental data on psychic energy and thinking life, but it also contains some very old information.
"The emergence of internal differences within the Zodiac did not happen overnight, but they suddenly chose to split in 2105."
Professor Qin walked to the water dispenser and took a cup of hot water. The water vapor filled his eyes, making his eyes a lot more chaotic: "This information happened to record the space fleet of the Zodiac next year in 2105. Brought back a piece of meat from the Kuiper Belt.”
"A piece of meat that neither increases nor decreases, ages and never dies!"
…
Outside City No. 18, in a wilderness of more than ten kilometers.
A black off-road vehicle kicked up dust in the sky, crashed out of the bushes covered with weeds, and stepped steadily onto the dark asphalt road.
Bai Ye, who was tall and long-legged, sat in the cab, his muscles all tense, and he stared at the road ahead with a serious look, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
It was just a fish bone hanging on the rearview mirror, swaying as the car moved forward, always attracting her attention unconsciously.
Whenever she caught sight of a bone with her peripheral vision, the throat on her slender neck would roll unconsciously.
"Watch the road carefully and be careful not to bump into children."
Ana Shen was half lying on the passenger seat, holding a piece of foxtail in the corner of her mouth, closing her eyes to relax.
Bai Ye took a deep breath and turned his head stiffly.
Knowing that this guy's identity as a psychiatrist was originally protected by the organization, he had only read a few related professional books at most, and his actual level may not even be comparable to that of a psychology enthusiast.
Why did I believe his 'restraint therapy' at that time?
Could it be that in my situation, shouldn't I just eat a meal of bones to achieve better results?
As we all know, sage time often only appears after desires are satisfied, and this kind of non-stop teasing is likely to only cause counter-effects...
Taking deep breaths and adjusting his mentality, Bai Ye already regretted accepting Ana Shen's so-called treatment.
She tried her best to focus on the black road in front of her. At the end of the road, she could vaguely see a group of black buildings standing in the wilderness.
