After all the slave children were located, the spacecraft slowly sailed into the Golden Gate No. 1 jump point. The warm light drove away the coldness of the universe. Men and women such as senior crew members, clerks, wardens, and others disembarked one after another, inviting friends and friends to relax in the nightclub. It seemed that at least tonight the spacecraft would not set sail again.
Gu Hanhan didn't want to get off the ship at first, but then even the guards and servants on the ship got off. Soldiers wearing United Nations Space Force combat uniforms directly surrounded the ship with weapons in their hands. They surrounded it three-dimensionally with all kinds of energy equipment and began to attack the ship. The entire ship was searched.
Facing at least one regiment of regular United Nations troops, Gu Hanhan really lacked confidence, so he had to shake David awake. David was obviously unwilling to collide with the armed forces representing the government. He would rather retreat and accompany Gu Hanhan to the restaurant at the jumping point for a cup of coffee.
"Have they discovered us?" Gu Hanhan asked.
"No," David told Gu Hanhan, "all slave ships passing through the Kinmen jumping point have to be stopped for inspection, because the slave trade requires a head tax according to cosmic law."
"Can I say that the most effective way to collect taxes is to steal houses? This investigation is too detailed..."
At the same time, in the lounge of Checkpoint No. 1 at Jump Point, Hawkins was also complaining: "Is this necessary, Bill? Will the Gordon family pay the United Nations less tax per person?"
Bill, the burly man leaning on the desk with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the United Fleet on his shoulder, an old acquaintance of Hawkins, is currently the top commander of the anti-smuggling team at Kinmen Jump Point 1.
"You don't know yet? Something big happened in Acropolis last night. The Heidi family was expelled!" His eyes flashed with excitement. "Our leader has given a death order. No one from the Heidi family is allowed." Let one go. So I'm sorry, old man, but I have to treat them equally and search all the ships."
"Well, I heard that, but -" Hawkins shook his head, and then lowered his voice and said, "The whole night has passed, and the Heidi family's official residence in the Acropolis has not changed owners, which means that they have not changed hands. At the end of the rope. In any case, Princess Helena of their family is an eighth-level healer. There may be some big shot behind her, and there is no telling whether she will get back together with the Dulan family member in two days. Your Admiral Chu is only 250, so you have to be careful yourself, Bill. Don’t let yourself get involved instead of reaping the benefits. The things above are complicated and not small people like us can get involved..."
Bill didn't take it seriously: "Come on, a family as big as Heidi has more than one or two vassals. No matter how much they have a backer, now they have openly lost their asylum. What's great is that they can only keep their own family. How can they keep the other thousands of 800 vassals?" Can you take care of it? If you capture a high-ranking person, you can become an independent vassal of David Duran, and if you destroy a vassal family, you can become a vassal family of David Duran. Who wouldn't be jealous of this?"
"Here!" Bill threw a cigarette to Hawkins, and at the same time pouted toward the door, "Did you see those two? A young lady from the Neto family, a second-level vassal of the Heidi family, disguised as two slave girls and hid in the house. Passengers, you thought you could escape. Of course you guys in the Acropolis don't know that the complete genealogy of Heidi's family has been sold on the black market of Golden Gate for 10,000 yuan a set. Each of our leaders We were treated in a different way. As you said, we are all small people and we do as we are told. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold us up."
"I'm not considered a master of the Acropolis. Even if it's my turn to be a dog for him, it might not be my turn." Hawkins laughed at himself. Following the half-open door, I saw two pale-faced women in the room. Their outer skirts and shoes and socks had been stripped off, leaving only a thin layer of clothing on them. They were standing barefoot on the floor, shivering from the cold. There were four soldiers guarding them.
"Almost five kilograms of energy stones were found on his body," Bill grinned. "What our leader means is that brothers' hard work cannot be in vain."
"Now we have an owner. A rich man who wants to go to the Acropolis to join the family is willing to pay for them. He will come to get them soon." He said loudly, "That is a young lady from a noble family for more than three hundred years. She is a real lady." I have no choice but to be a slave from now on. I don’t know if I will be on the auction block in the future.”
"It's just that others licked their butts before, and now it's their turn to lick other people's butts. If you don't want to die, you have to suffer. There's nothing to say." Hawkins shook his head: "Why don't you know how to take the free route? The universe is so big , it’s not like they don’t have battleship-class spacecraft that can withstand the turbulence of the universe, so they are stupid enough to plunge into the subspace jump point.”
Bill sneered: "The free route is even worse. Our leader led the main fleet to blockade it. No ship can slip through the net. If it dares to go, it will be immediately killed. As for the turbulent area, there are many senior rangers waiting there! "
…
Because of the strict search, many ships were stranded at the Kinmen-1 jumping point. Although the Gordon family's slave ship had the back door of the commander of the anti-smuggling team, it was not until early in the morning of the next day (standard time) that it took the receipt of the poll tax and lined up at the bounce position of the subspace channel.
After entering the subspace, Gu Hanhan's life finally became more normal, like a normal winter vacation trip. In the gray subspace, she no longer had to worry about Hawkins throwing the child into the universe, so she felt comfortable and lived like a lazy little woman. He went to bed early and got up late every day, studying recipes, accompanying David to recuperate, and watching the military training of slave children.
——Yes, the children have started military training. Of course, they didn't use the word "military training" in their name, but that's exactly what happened. They stood in line, walked, and followed orders and prohibitions.
Gu Hanhan was really surprised when she first saw him. She had never thought of connecting a family with superpowers to regular military training, let alone that they would train slave children. But after thinking about it seriously, Gu Hanhan immediately understood this approach. 180,000 soldiers are invincible, 180,000 gangsters will collapse at the first touch, and 180,000 rats can only cause disaster. No matter who brings 180,000 people - 180,000 men, women, old people, or children, 180,000 slaves, commoners, or nobles - no matter who wants to take them wherever, who wants to The only way they can do anything efficiently is to turn them into an army. Military organizational structure and collective life allow more people to do what they want.
The subspace, which is so gray that nothing can be done, is the best place for "military training." However, the spaceship guard of the Gordon family slave ship dispatched more than 2,000 soldiers specifically to do this. There are more than a dozen empty floors in the center of the slave ship. The movable platform finally came into use at this point, and the sound of drills rushed to the top of the ship and could not be heard without stopping, from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. standard time. Through the surveillance projection in the room, Gu Hanhan was lucky enough to witness the birth of a boy scout.
——Yes, this room should be reserved for members of the Gordon family or senior attendants. It has the highest authority of the entire ship's surveillance system. You can see any corner of the ship anytime, anywhere. This is really a job full of evil fun. In the setting, Gu Hanhan even saw the captain's female secretary in the office having an in-depth discussion on human anatomy issues for her boss, the guard captain, and his officers. She guessed that they must not know that the spacecraft has such a secret and has the highest monitoring authority.
The children were finally able to eat, and the ferocious and devilish Hawkins finally stopped letting them starve. In fact, since the beginning of military training, the man in the jacket has never appeared in front of others, but is immersed in his work. The records of children studied in the laboratory - slave children learned to line up in the military training on the first morning, and after they could line up for the canteen and line up to go to the toilet, the Gordon family began to provide them with three standard meals a day, which were caloric and nutritious. , and there is no limit. Every slave child can be fed well, provided that he completes the training requirements every day. There is no doubt that most children can do this.
This military training even includes spiritual, cultural and entertainment life. At the end of every day's training, after dinner, and for an hour between bedtime, the slave children collectively lived a life of spiritual culture and entertainment. They were taken to the square where they practiced during the day and sat down on the ground. Then a black priest who was as compassionate as a Bodhisattva would appear above the square on the first floor and start telling stories. He was holding a thick book in his arms, his voice was calm and quiet, and his image exuding the light of wisdom and piety was accurately transmitted to the eyes of every slave child through projection technology.
The name of the Bodhisattva-like priest is Moses. The book he is holding in his arms is the "Sacred Code", and the content of his lecture is the story in the "Sacred Code" - of course, the "Sacred Code" he is holding is the same as Gu Hanhan It’s different from what I’ve read. The one Gu Hanhan read was the unabridged version, while the one Moses read was the public version.
With this release of the "Sacred Code", Moses described the goddess in the mythology as the embodiment of the will of the God of the Universe coming to the world, spreading the gift of divine light to the world through the knights. The suzerains and knights were the guardians of the gods, while the kings and emperors were the shepherd dogs they chose for the gods. All human beings are lambs of the God of the universe, and superpowers are God's reward for His pious lambs. Therefore, all people who have awakened superpowers are the chosen ones of the God of the universe, and the nobles are God's apostles walking in the world. They are protected by God's guardians, enlighten and serve His chosen people for God. All of God’s lambs should strive to become God’s glorious chosen people. All hardships are God’s tests for His lambs.
There is no doubt that this is a planned, purposeful, professional and systematic religious brainwashing. Moses, who is like a saint, is a standard magician, and his job is to preach and tame slaves for super-powered nobles. Of course, Gu Hanhan, who had read the unabridged version of the "Sacred Code", didn't believe a word of what he said. Gu Hanhan could completely turn off the projection. The surveillance system in the room had this function, but Gu Hanhan had never turned it off. . She especially loved watching this and would wait for it to start at 8:30 every night. For a non-staff member of the Temple who is a staunch atheist, this kind of mythical story full of nonsense about spaceships is simply more fun than entertainment programs. Gu Hanhan often rolls on the bed with laughter.
Sometimes she smiled so much that even David felt slightly embarrassed. He said: "It's not that funny. It's not easy to lead hundreds of thousands of people. If you don't want them to cause trouble or kill them all, you have to give them spiritual life. Compared to playing fighting games The brain-dead TV series thinks about freedom and democracy, and religious sermons that turn slaves into devout believers in the Temple religion are obviously more in line with the needs of the training camps and the families behind them."
Well, now the slave children are well fed, warmly clothed, and even have a spiritual life. Most of them live much better than before they were sold to the ship. This is really a wonderful trip.
Gu Hanhan felt incredible and had to admire him. One night she finally couldn't help but ask: "What about you, David? According to the teachings of the Temple Church, you are their saint. Do you believe in the God of the universe?"
David was silent for a moment, obviously not wanting to discuss religion or saints. But in the end he said: "The more powerful a person is, the more he should be in awe."
