The world situation is changing faster than expected.
The expert group's deciphering did not go smoothly, and the changes among the people were also great.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Wang Fumin and Lu Tuyu entered the army...
From the initial discomfort to gradually getting used to the new life, it only took about ten months.
I have to admit that human beings are very receptive creatures. A year ago, they were still thinking about paying off mortgages, medical care, and education. Now most people have become bricklayers. Even if they have complaints in their hearts, they have to endure it and curse.
A word of God will take care of it.
"I thought I was here to shoot, but I didn't expect to escape the fate of moving bricks..."
Speaking of this, Lu Tuyu couldn't help but vomit bitterness.
In such a long time, he has only touched a gun twice. Because of his short-sightedness, he practiced shooting once and missed half of the target. Therefore, he never had the chance to practice again and worked as a militiaman here every day... Commonly known as,
Reserve!
In order to maintain world peace, the number of active troops has rapidly expanded from two million last year to 20 million today, an increase of 10 times.
Every surrounding country is recruiting troops like crazy, and there are constant border frictions. Some medium-sized countries are already producing nuclear weapons. Who cares so much about international rules in this era? The cloud of the Third World War is hanging over mankind.
The top of the head.
However, it is quite easy to increase the number of soldiers rapidly, but the production of weapons and equipment is not that easy. With the market collapse and traffic paralysis, the production capacity of military factories is only about one-half of its peak level.
What should we do if we don’t have enough equipment? Of course, let more people move bricks, work, dig trenches, and dig shelters. Anyway... there is too much physical work to do!
Militiamen are naturally soldiers, but their training is not that diligent, and their discipline is relatively loose. They do some hard work, and their subsidies can barely support their families.
"Stop complaining. If the company commander hears you complaining, you will be scolded again."
Wang Fumin, who was ten years older, was used to being oppressed by society after all. He curled up his neck and said in a low voice: "When the time comes, you can work overtime on your own, don't rely on me. Our old arms and legs can't afford to work overtime." "Fuck you...working overtime is also done by ordinary people. People with superpowers never work overtime. Ordinary people like us won't have to live anymore."
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Tuyu complained angrily: "I told you, those who don't have super powers will be untouchables from now on!"
"It's okay at home, and we can barely suppress this kind of public opinion. The conflicts abroad are getting bigger and bigger, and some extremist organizations have even emerged, claiming that superpowers are supreme and a manifestation of human evolution. When the end of the world truly comes, there will only be superpowers.
Only those with abilities can survive..."
Wang Fumin's face turned pale: "You are crazy, you actually dare to climb over the wall and look at the Internet!"
Lu Tuyu shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Is the overall quality of our Daxia people higher than that of other regions? What are the essential differences between people?" "Social ideological trends born abroad,
Won’t we show up here?”
"I don't know if you have ever seen a foreign movie. Mutants and humans hate each other, and internal conflicts will break out."
"Even if the superpowers in our world are not very powerful, and they are not as destructive as in the movies, the labels on their identities have already appeared. As long as labels appear, people will naturally gradually divide and denigrate each other."
p>
"Now, the treatment of people with superpowers is indeed superior to others. No matter what good positions they are, they are given priority. High-paying positions in research institutes cannot be filled by ordinary people, so there is no point in being jealous; even those in the military
Regarding positions, isn’t it easier for people with superpowers to be promoted than ordinary people?”
Wang Fumin was silent for a long time before holding back a sentence: "Isn't the salary of people with super powers declining? There are more and more people with super powers, and they are not as scarce as before, so the salary will naturally drop."
"No, no, no, I would rather hope that they are rare in number, so rare that there are only dozens or hundreds of them, than I hope that they are huge in number."
Lu Tuyu clenched his fists and said: "They are small in number and cannot occupy a few places, so they will not affect my interests; if they are large in number, we ordinary people will be miserable."
"Just like your daughter, do you want her to be an ordinary person or a person with super powers?"
"After entering the mysterious zone, there is a one-tenth chance of awakening the ability. If your daughter doesn't get it, she will be an inferior person for the rest of her life!"
"What if your daughter is lucky enough to become a superior person? Will she uphold her class? Will she be treated the same as ordinary people? She won't!"
"And 90% of ordinary people are willing to have a superior class above their heads. No, right. So, how to solve this contradiction?"
Wang Fumin opened his mouth but was speechless.
Does he know about this? Of course he does.
But what to do...
No way.
After all, he is just an ordinary citizen whose edges have been smoothed by society. He has no social status and no ability.
Even if you know some things, you will feel uncomfortable for a while, but let him speak out?
He won't go.
On the contrary, Lu Tuyu has been fighting for foreign public opinion for a long time. Anyway, he doesn’t have a wife and children, so he just wants to be happy.
But being happy actually means nothing, and it can’t change the world.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed in the distance, as if a sixth sense rose from my heart.
【Your letter.】
Wang Fumin's heart skipped a beat, "The bottle is back!"
"What are you whispering to each other? Dig this trench quickly. We will eat beef brisket stewed with potatoes tonight. If you want to eat, work quickly!" The company commander saw them gathering together and chatting, and ran over with a shovel to urge them.
The company commander is a very good person and takes good care of his brothers in the company. Apart from being stricter, he has nothing to be picky about and sometimes he even takes the initiative to help.
What's different is that the company commander is still a person with super powers, but his abilities are not very strong. His "dynamic vision", shooting and nerve reaction speed are more than one level higher than ordinary people.
But because of this, he became the company commander...
When this idea came to his mind, Wang Fumin suddenly felt a strange feeling of discomfort deep in his heart.
He knew that this discomfort came from what Lu Tuyu said just now.
He is already 35 years old, and even if he encounters a little injustice, he still swallows his anger. Where in the world can there be a truly harmonious world?
But what about groups, magnifying it into the entire human society, do they allow people with super powers to dominate ordinary people?
This is a big problem.
The general trend of the times is like the Yangtze River, rushing eastward.
In the mysterious area, most of the reasons for the demise of 13 teams came from internal strife.
Throughout history, a large part of the destruction of dynasties has always been caused by internal factors.
This time, again...no exceptions!
……
……
Special affairs handling department, a technology exchange meeting.
Li Xianfeng is having a video conversation with Professor Peter Greer, the president of the American Society for Paranormal Research and a parapsychologist at Harvard University.
"Have you deciphered the slate?"
"The grammatical system of a foreign civilization is very different from any kind of human writing, which is very difficult. Many of the new concepts and issues we do not have here."
"Oh, it would be great if Zhang could dig out more treasures. So many people are waiting for him to dig up treasures." Professor Peter said with a smile, "Several scholars couldn't stand the pressure and resigned, and then came back because of curiosity.
Just like this, jumping back and forth, tossing and turning like a grasshopper."
"How can there be so many things in the water that are intact? The ones on land are just so-so. Unfortunately, he can't go to the remaining areas."
There is a great horror on the isolated island!
A super terror that can wipe out a civilization!
Everyone knew this, so they did not urge Lao Zhang through satellite broadcasts.
As the only human beings, if something goes wrong on the grave, they might be sent to the electric chair by the angry human executives!
After chatting for a while, everyone began to discuss business.
Peter Greer was the first to raise the topic: "As the mysterious zone continues to occupy the four oceans, we believe that the concentration of the earth's 'spirits' is rising sharply. The proportion of naturally born superpowers has reached one in ten thousand, which is already 1/10,000.
More than a hundred times as much as in the beginning."
"That is, among 100 million people, there are 10,000 people with super powers."
"Eventually, the spiritual concentration of the earth will be exactly the same as that of the mysterious zone, and one in ten people will be born with superpowers."
"The other 90% of the population, they have no innate abilities... they should be ordinary people all their lives. Superpowers are closely related to the soul. In a short period of time, we cannot let ordinary people learn abilities for nothing."
p>
"You're right, you still have to keep your feet on the ground. It's too difficult to pursue the highest level of difficulty from the beginning."
The scientific researchers in the room are all discussing the newly born special ability users. With the improvement of "Aura", in addition to the special ability users, some more rare ability users finally appeared!
For example, hypnosis.
This ancient industry is usually regarded as a scammer, or simply appears in some 18-ban movies.
But now, a corresponding super power has really appeared - a person with the ability to hypnotize!
Another example is "life sharing".
Those with this healing ability can share their "vitality" with other injured patients, accelerating the treatment of wounds and diseases, and even AIDS and cancer can be cured.
The mechanism is unknown.
Of course, the consequence of this is that it will bring a serious risk of premature aging to the person concerned. Therefore, people with this ability are treated as national treasures and protected.
Another foreign expert said in the communication conference: "Currently there is no instrument that can detect the 'spirit' in the air. Whether it is infrared light, ultraviolet light or rays, there is no progress. It seems to exist in another world."
