Chapter 622 The flesh and blood are weak and bitter
Tiandou Empire Palace...
"If there is something to do, go back to the government!" Xue Ye has been in a bad mood recently. The popularity of the Internet has caused his household registration system to fail completely. Although his ability to control the grassroots is strong, it is obviously far behind the Internet.
"I'll report this." The representative of the technical department who never spoke in court actually spoke up this time. Xue Ye nodded. Since it was the technical department, it shouldn't be unreasonable.
"A large number of permanent life-sustaining warehouses have been discovered throughout the empire. Workers have begun to save their savings and buy dormant warehouses to sleep permanently. This has a great impact on our population growth. I hope that Your Majesty will go to the Technology Department as soon as possible to check the situation."
"I've also heard about this matter, but it doesn't seem to be an issue that should be dealt with by the technical department." Xue Ye didn't understand why the technical department raised this matter.
"The thing is like this. Through disassembly, we found that there are huge problems with the permanent dormant warehouse. The processing accuracy of many parts has exceeded the limits of our industrial level. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the emergence of the permanent dormant warehouse is
A premeditated conspiracy."
"Huh? Is that so? Take me to see you after you retire. Weakness is really a conspiracy against the empire, but it is a good thing." Xue Ye's words were hard to understand.
…
In the dismantling room, the true face of the permanent sleep chamber was revealed. Even after seeing the world on a snowy night, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The hibernation chamber is not a place where people can stay alive just by lying on it. It is science fiction level technology. This machine is densely covered with various pipes, some of which are electrodes inserted directly into the brain, and some are inserted from blood vessels to lead blood out of the body.
There is infusion back into the body.
Some are responsible for injecting nutrients into the body. The person in the dormant chamber has hundreds of tubes inserted into it. It looks very permeable, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this person has no arms.
, has no legs, it is basically a human stick, even the digestive system and urinary system have been removed, and the only important organs in the body are basically the heart, lungs, and brain.
As for the reason for doing this, it is easy to understand. People who hibernate do not need to exercise. Therefore, they do not need hands and feet, and they do not need to eat. Therefore, they do not need the intestines and stomach, and there is no need for excretion and excretion. Therefore, the urinary system is meaningless.
Significant system removal can greatly reduce the body's energy consumption, save costs, and increase sleep time.
However, what makes Xue Ye uneasy is actually another thing, that is, even if they have to pay such a price and die instantly if they leave the dormant warehouse, there are still countless workers flocking to it. The fantasy world is too attractive to them.
If it is strong, we must find ways to weaken this attraction.
"What's the problem with this machine?" Xue Ye calmed down and regained her composure.
"The permeable membrane used to remove urea from the blood in the life-support device is a technology that we do not have, but this technology may be invented by civilian scientists, but you see here.
On this control center chip, you can see the nanoscale micro-carvings on it with a microscope, which is impossible even with our highest technology."
"In other words, this chip is probably a foreign product. According to our estimation, it is probably produced by the Thorn Flower Army and is a conspiracy specifically against us."
Xue Ye's expression did not change when he heard this. He held his chin with one hand and seemed to be thinking: "Judging from the results, it's not entirely a bad thing. If we didn't have the technology to produce this kind of thing ourselves, it would be easier to detect it."
.
But why would the Thorn Flower Legion produce this kind of dormant chamber? This should be a very mature technology!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this technology is extremely mature and full of technical details. It can perfectly maintain the activity of the human body and even extend the life span. As long as the energy source is not cut off, the people inside can survive for at least eighty years."
"This is interesting." Xue Ye rubbed the stubble on his chin with his fingers: "I am afraid that the first person to apply this technology is the Thorn Flower Empire itself. They may have experienced similar incidents. I want to solve this problem.
You can start from there.”
…
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the first batch of agents has successfully arrived on the American continent by boat and has made contact with the vanguard of the smugglers. Please give your Majesty's instructions."
Xue Ye looked at her intelligence officer with satisfaction. After so many years, she finally sent a serious intelligence officer to the American continent.
"Don't be in a hurry to infiltrate and sabotage, find a suitable identity to lurk, and pass on information as much as possible. The war between empires cannot be decided by one or two people.
Also, let them pay attention to a kind of permanent dormancy warehouse and see how these things are processed on the American continent."
"yes!"
…
The American continent has lost the guidance of tulips. Capital here has begun to grow wildly, the polarization between rich and poor has begun to become extreme, and wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people.
This is a despairing reality. It may not be as tired and painful as the bottom of the Tiandou Empire, but the class consolidation is a hundred times more serious than that.
Even if technology is more developed, it cannot conceal the impact of the increasing polarization between rich and poor. On the contrary, this impact is still expanding. A hundred-meter high wall separates the rich areas from the shantytowns. Although people use this science fiction
Level equipment, but they eat cheap synthetic food.
There is no essential difference between these things and the feed in large state-owned livestock farms. They are all obtained through the secondary fermentation of plant fibers that cannot be digested by humans.
If you have to use one word to describe the country on this continent, the most appropriate one is probably cyberpunk.
In such a country, violence and crime, psychedelic drugs and virtual worlds are naturally inevitable.
As Xue Ye guessed, the permanent dormancy warehouse was indeed the first invention of the Thorn Flower Empire. The bottom class of this country could not see any hope and could only place their hopes in the virtual world.
Although Tulip left, they have their own industrial base and the network has never been cut off. Since Tulip left, the gap between rich and poor has become more and more serious. This desperate bottom class has begun to escape reality.
The permanent dormant warehouse came into being. This invention triggered a craze as soon as it was born. Most of the people at the bottom who could not survive chose to devote everything they had to illusion.
This is tantamount to a devastating blow to a country. Even if technology is very advanced, there are still many industries that need manpower. The most important is the service industry. If the bottom layer goes on strike, it will become a zombie in a dormant warehouse.
So who will serve those rich people? It is absolutely impossible for the ruling class to allow this.
