The gap between World War I and World War II was only a few decades. After World War II, because of nuclear deterrence, large-scale wars were controlled in a short period of time, but small-scale conflicts never disappeared. Many people ask about nuclear deterrence.
How long can peace last? One hundred years, or two hundred years?
At this time, the world where Dulan lives has been free of large-scale wars for three hundred years. Since the calamity war that swept through the solar system three hundred years ago, the earth has not had a world war for three hundred years, although regional conflicts are still inevitable.
Avoid, but three hundred years is enough time for people to forget a lot.
This is a strange world. The heroes who ended the war, their descendants and their families have become the seven warlord families that dominate the earth. At the same time, classes are solidified, unemployment is extremely high, gangs are numerous, and pirates are rampant.
Although mankind has entered the era of space colonization, it seems that mankind has reached a dead end. The development of science and technology has stagnated for three hundred years. All technologies are similar to those three hundred years ago. Many spaceships flying around have hundreds of years of experience.
history.
Human civilization seems to have entered its twilight years.
This year, Duran broke a naughty kid's leg on Mars and treated him.
Earth, Mars, and the many space stations and colonial satellites in the universe have formed the social structure of today's human beings. Although in theory the earth's political system rules all people and regions, the universe is so big, it is natural for places to become bigger, such as Mars.
It is a pity that Mars is still being eaten to death by the Earth due to lack of resources. The economy of Mars can be said to be a mess. Except for the big cities with space ports, the rest of the places are all rural areas where corn is grown. Although it will not starve to death
people, but it also cuts off the way for them to make progress in their work.
Because Mars cities cannot develop, they cannot expand employment. Without jobs, there will be many idle young people, and these people have become the source of unrest. Some people have become pirates, and some have become bodyguards, relying on force to survive.
And force will naturally breed other industries, such as those delinquent women who are not suitable for children, and delinquent women will lead to other bad results, that is, orphans.
Therefore, a bad economy will affect many things and cause many bad consequences. On Mars, this bad influence has reached a certain extent. There are even a large number of young soldiers in armed organizations, and there are also human traffickers who specialize in buying and selling people. Slavery system
Resurrected once again in the cosmic age.
After Duran came to Mars, he met a naughty kid named Olga. This was a little guy who aspired to become a member of the Black Society. He was an orphan and grew up in a slum with a mixture of good and bad. He was labeled as a thief, a bastard, and a bastard.
, but this time he was really miserable. He just wanted to steal something, but his legs were broken.
Dulan's finger snapping skill is very powerful.
But whoever interrupted was responsible. Duran not only treated him, but also gave him a place to stay.
But as a condition, Olga must practice running and accept Duran's Chicken Soup for the Soul.
"Run..." Duran takes Olga for a run every morning and evening. From the time when his injury just improved, he has been practicing until now. Olga feels that he can already participate in running competitions.
During the month when Olga was recuperating in Duran, the two sentences she heard Dulan say the most were, "Run, don't stop" and the other, "Life is like chocolate, no one knows where the next one will be."
What does it taste like? Although Olga had never eaten chocolate, he remembered these two sentences, although he didn't understand why he couldn't stop, and he didn't understand how life was like chocolate.
But in her heart, Olga respects Duran very much. If it were anyone else, she would not give him treatment or a place to live. However, Olga is ambitious and does not want to be an orphan for the rest of his life. He wants to
To get ahead, he has to hang out in the dark circles.
So on a dark and stormy night, he left. He was going to perform a very dangerous alaya surgery.
This is a technology developed during the Calamity War three hundred years ago. By implanting a chip through surgery on the spine and brain, even a child can control a huge mecha through the chip, connecting the mecha to the flesh and blood body.
Many black societies will perform surgeries on their children because they are very easy to control and they don’t have to pay wages. They just need to give them enough food to satisfy their hunger.
It's impossible to get ahead in Duran, so Olga would rather take risks. The success rate of Alaya surgery is very low, especially in a backward place like Mars. The gangs basically hire doctors to perform extremely simple surgery.
If the experiment is conducted in a special environment, the mortality rate will be even higher.
Moreover, people who are implanted with the Alaya consciousness system are equivalent to being branded as slaves and are looked down upon by others. Generally speaking, as long as they can live a good life, no one will take the risk of doing this kind of surgery. Therefore, people who undergo Alaya consciousness implantation generally
The people who undergo the surgery are desperate orphans, children at the bottom of society who have no dignity.
During the operation, Olga met a child younger than him, and this child was a miracle. He had already had the Alaya Consciousness System implanted twice, and now it was the third time.
Olga heard adults say it was a miracle, so she started betting on whether the boy could survive the third time. She would pay ten if she survived and one if she died.
Olga couldn't help but sympathize with the child, thinking that if he survived, she would have to protect him.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Olga thought too much. A person who survived three Alaya Consciousness System implant surgeries without dying is the protagonist's bright halo.
Instead, this guy Olga had to rely on the power of Mikazuki to achieve a career.
Although Miracle Boy Mikazuki is young, he is a ruthless person. From the fact that he survived three surgeries, we know that he is a ruthless guy. He also hates his enemies. As long as Mikazuki is ordered, he will shoot and kill without hesitation.
After Olga and Mikazuki met, they have always instilled in her a lofty ideal of getting ahead. Mikazuki is also very much looking forward to the day when the other party will succeed, and is willing to help this big brother who has always taken care of her.
So the two people formed a combination, Olga was responsible for the brains, and Mikazuki was responsible for the hands. The two cooperated very well. Within two years, they entered a private security company and became private bodyguards.
In other words, they can also be regarded as mercenaries. Of course, they are the lowest-level wage earners.
But this company is not small. It has a lot of military equipment, old-fashioned mechas, and even a three-hundred-year-old Gundam as the energy source for the base.
This company is called cgs, which is already one of the largest companies on Mars. It employs dozens of child workers, including many orphans who have undergone surgeries, as well as children who cannot find jobs nearby to earn money to support their families.
The children's job is to die, to drive mechas to the most dangerous places, and any tasks that involve human life must be completed by the children.
The adults in the company stay behind and are responsible for some safety work, and do not need to participate in life-threatening work.
It seems unfair, but in fact, this is how every adult survives. The unlucky ones die, and the lucky ones stay.
Of course, most people still die on the battlefield and have no chance to grow up.
"Life is like chocolate, no one knows what the next one will taste like." Olga was also surprised because one day this sentence suddenly came out of her mouth. At this time, he already knew the taste of chocolate. His first time
I bought some chocolate when I had some spare money, just to know what chocolate tastes like.
It may be bitter or sweet.
Only when you eat it can you know the real taste.
Under the influence of Olga, even Mikazuki began to like eating chocolate. Unfortunately, chocolate is a luxury item on Mars, and they cannot eat it often.
Since cocoa beans cannot be grown on Mars, imagine that the chocolate travels through the long space route in the spacecraft, passes through many checkpoints, pays for bodyguards, and pays tolls, and finally lands on Mars. Naturally, it will be very expensive.
In fact, all items shipped from the earth are very expensive and are Martian luxuries. If Olga wants to eat chocolate every day from now on, then he must stand out and become a big shot.
