This 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 many times compared to before.
The entire galaxy began to become lively and prosperous.
If it can be maintained for a long time, it will not be an exaggeration to be called the golden age by future generations.
And behind the prosperity, are there blood and tears hidden in it?
Outside a large factory in a certain city, Qasim was walking home.
There is a slight smell of rust in the air, which is the unique smell produced by the production of alloys.
Generally speaking, as long as anti-pollution policies are implemented in place, pollution from alloy production workshops will not leak out.
However, it is not impossible to reduce maintenance consumption in exchange for greater output.
Just accept the reduced sustainability of worker lifespans and regions.
Qasim is 38 years old and in the prime of his life.
It stands to reason that at this age and with skills, he would be a hot commodity no matter where he is, and there will be a rush to let him join the company.
But just today, he was fired.
After a five-minute walk, Qasim walked to the platform of the express train. After a while, the train arrived and he stepped into it.
He lives almost 200 kilometers away from his workplace and can get there in about 25 minutes.
And when he arrived at his destination and walked out of the express train station, a deduction message was sent to his smart watch.
[Welcome to use the express train. Since you have not undergone prosthetic transformation, there are no discounts or exemptions. This consumption is 40 points]
"Ah……"
Kasim looked at the message and snorted in disgust.
I don’t know since when, more and more people have been equipped with prosthetics.
And with the policy tilt, the implantation rate of prostheses is also getting higher and higher.
At first it was just an arm, then it developed into four limbs, and then even the lower body became a mechanical prosthesis.
There are fewer and fewer complete human beings like Qasim.
He also lamented that the world was changing too fast.
Today, his job has been replaced by someone equipped with a prosthetic body.
With the popularity of prosthetics, working hours are getting longer and longer, but income has not increased much.
Coupled with the involution system, those with low prosthetic implantation rates will be replaced by those with high implantation rates, resulting in almost everyone having prostheses implanted.
In the past, if you didn't do it, some people would do it. Now, if ordinary people don't do it, some people would do it, and some people would do it.
After Qasim walked out of the platform, he saw the bustling urban area.
The popularization of intelligent machinery has made neighborhoods extremely clean.
Surrounded by advertising projection services and constant news broadcasts.
Qasim’s home is not in the urban area and requires a few minutes of cruise bus ride to a residential area in the suburbs.
Suburban residential areas are the first choice for civilians. Although they lack high-tech support and the living conditions are similar to those of the old times, the prices are cheap enough.
There are only 40,000 credit points per square meter, which is quite good compared to the average one million per square meter in urban areas, without policy support.
Since Qasim was fired today, he was the first to return home.
Standing in the entrance hall, he looked at the flat floor of less than 100 square meters, and sighed secretly: "If the job is gone, the supply will probably be cut off."
Qasim also thought about taking his family to immigrate to other empires, but when he thought of the high cost, he had no choice but to give up the idea.
Thinking that his daughter would grow up in such a world, he couldn't help but feel sad and extremely disappointed in the empire.
"It would be great if the Earth-Star United Nations could discover this place."
Among the people who are constantly being oppressed, independent forces like the Earth-Star United Nations have great expectations.
It is the expectations of these people that have created the growth of Dilian.
United Nations of Earth and Stars, Main Line
political territory.
Leoli sat in front of a large round table and frowned a little tiredly.
Three years have passed since the Earth-Star United Nations was established.
In the past three years, in addition to the covert support of various forces, the oppressed people who have developed a sense of resistance have been the foundation for the development of the Ground Alliance.
Although many people say that the Earth Alliance is a lackey of the big power empire, it is undeniable that the influence of the Earth Alliance is no longer the independent force it was at the beginning.
Not to mention anything else, its sphere of influence alone encompasses thousands of galaxies and spans multiple star fields and sectors. It is the largest independent force in the entire galaxy.
"Chief, Kvost sent a message asking how our operation is progressing. How should we respond?"
Leoli frowned when he heard his subordinate's inquiry: "Tell him that the conflicts in their territory are caused by their own inappropriate laws and regulations. They are none of our business and will not be reconciled."
The subordinate pondered for a while and then added: "But he said that if we don't help him solve this incident and there is a rebellion, we will adopt a border closure policy..."
Leoli tightened his right hand and took a deep breath: "You just issue an announcement. If they continue to impose inhumane laws, we will launch a referendum and declare war with them!"
The Earth-Star United Nations always solves problems through negotiation and will never start a war unless necessary.
Leoli was so harsh this time, mainly because the other party went too far.
The Earth Alliance does have a relatively large mediating effect on ordinary people, but it is not used to wipe the butt of certain power empires.
After the subordinate exited the communication after receiving the order, Leoli frowned again.
In the past three years, although the Dilian's strength has grown a lot, it has also become more difficult to manage.
Especially the members of the Earth-Star United Nations, with the support of forces from other star regions, have already had the idea of going alone.
"If we were the People's Federation..."
Looking at the big star chart on the round table, Leoli snorted softly.
Among so many independent forces, Dilian is the middleman.
The People's Federation, on the other hand, is almost on the opposite side of the power empire.
Now they firmly occupy the same large area of the galaxy, telling the world that they are not easy to mess with.
The sixth star region and the ninth star region.
This is the new core area of the People's Federation.
"General, the scientific team has made new progress on the so-called ascension plan..."
In the base in deep space, a prosthetic man was reporting the situation to Lin Dengwan.
Lin Dengwan was sitting in a wheelchair. Although his hair was gray, his spirit was still strong. After listening to the report of his subordinates, he nodded.
"Since they want to ascend, then we wish them a helping hand."
Lin Dengwan looked outside the base, and a strange light fell on the base.
In this galaxy, apart from stars and bases, there is only a diamond-shaped crystal that is about the size of a planet.
The light cast by the star is dispersed around the galaxy through the rhombus crystal.
What's even more special is that the surface of the rhombus crystal is covered with layers of data, flowing in the starry sky like substance.
This is a related product of ultimate ascension.
