Chapter 44 The Preliminary Exploration of "Elysium"
Wei Ran explores the location of the plane of "The Bliss" in the city where the plot of "The Blisss" is developed. Tony is on the other end of the city by deciding Mark IV's information positioning.
The city is dilapidated and densely populated, somewhat like a slum in Mexico, with robot guards holding guns everywhere on the streets.
Wei Ran and Tony are black users in this plane, and the data terminals in the Jile Space Station do not have their information.
Just by looking at the robot guards' zero tolerance towards the residents of the earth, you can know that these robot guards' attitude towards black households like Wei Ran is definitely not much better.
In order to avoid trouble, Wei Ran was always paying attention to avoiding robot guards when walking on the street.
Pushing open a black ink glass door, Wei Ran came to a place similar to a bar. There were many people in the house, the space was crowded, the noise was messy, and the facilities were very simple. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few shuttle-type phantom lamps with obvious technological content wandering around the bar, it would be hard to imagine that this place belongs to the future time and space.
This bar seems to be a place where you can simply drink and chat. There are no other entertainment measures. Three or five people gather together to brag and spank.
After Wei Ran came in, he did not see any waiters, and he picked up all the drinks at the bar.
"Damn the government, damn rich people, God should let them all go to hell." In front of Wei Ran, a strong white man with a bearded bearded blushing face and shouted loudly.
"Thomas, God doesn't care about this place. He only prefers a small number of people. And you must have seen God before the rich people." A white man, who was also holding a wine bottle and a thin figure, joked.
"Okay, Mike, Thomas is drunk." This time the person who spoke was a tough and tough old man in his sixties.
"I'm not drunk, Darwin, there is no damn robot police officer here. No one can control what I want to say. I have to vent my heart, otherwise I will get sick." Thomas seemed to want to prove that he was not drunk, and stood up shakingly with the wine bottle.
"Several people, please disturb me. Can you get a guy?" Wei Ran walked over.
The three of them turned their eyes to Wei Ran.
"Haha, where did you come from the little white face? This is not the place you should come from." The bearded man known as Thomas pointed at Wei Ran and laughed.
"Thomas, you're really drunk." The lean white man named Mike quickly stood up and pressed Thomas, who was shaking with the bottle, back to his seat.
"Please forgive him for being rude. Sir, Thomas is drunk, and he was just educated by the robot police officer today and was in a bad mood." Although the old man was apologizing, his eyes were full of vigilance.
"It's okay, I have no malice. I'm not here to make trouble. I just want to sit down and chat with someone." Wei Ran knew in his heart that ordinary people in this plane lived a bad life. Not only were they exploited by the upper class, but their living environment was harsh. Gangs and bullies were everywhere. All laws and regulations serve the upper class, and none of them was for ordinary people. It can be said that it was an era of collapse of rituals and music and biased laws, and people lacked the minimum trust between people.
Seeing that Wei Ran's face was kind and unlike the one who came to make trouble, the old man's whiteness eased a lot, so he reached out to invite Wei Ran to sit down.
"My name is Mike, the drunk and smelly one is Thomas, and the old man is Darwin." Mike enthusiastically introduced the three of them to Wei Ran.
"Wei Ran, a tourist." Wei Ran replied with a smile.
"Are you a yellow race?" Darwin asked suddenly, "The last time I saw a yellow race was more than ten years ago. You must have walked a long way here."
"Why do you say that?"
"Although there are more than three million people in this city, there are no yellow people. You can only come from other cities." Darwin smiled, suddenly stretched his head and whispered, "Unless, you are the one above."
Wei Ran smiled and said nothing. Since he came to this city, he found that most of the brown people with typical white characteristics were brown people, followed by white people and then black people. Authentic yellow people have never appeared. Maybe they have existed in a small number, but after many generations of mixed races, they have disappeared.
"You should not be a citizen, because citizens will not come to such places." Darwin continued.
"This place is called Freeport, which is the only place where the robot police don't care about it. Here we say whatever we want." Seeing Wei Ran a little confused, Thomas held the wine bottle and explained loudly.
"The owner of the bar is a very powerful rich man. He specializes in this kind of place where robots are not allowed to come in to check the jobs, so as to make money from the poor," Mike said sarcastically.
"It's really a bastard." Wei Ran said.
"Yes, fuck the rich man, the rich man." Wei Ran's words hit Thomas' heart, causing him to respond with a big laugh.
"You can see that young man, you don't seem to know anything. You are so good to be able to pass through the dangerous radiation area to this city." The old man Darwin praised.
The subsequent conversation was very pleasant, perhaps because of Wei Ran's words to scold the rich bastard, Thomas and others regarded him as their own, without much scruples.
Under the premise that Wei Ran "knows nothing", the knowledgeable old man Darwin asked many questions and gained a clearer understanding of "The Space of Bliss".
The "Pully Space" plane is now in the late 22nd century, and the Pully Space Station was established in the late 21st century and has a history of nearly a hundred years.
At the end of the 21st century, the plane was raging, with severe pollution and a huge overpopulation on the planet. What's even worse was that a nuclear war swept the world at that time was released. This war had a greater blow to the already overwhelmed human living environment, and the regimes of various countries were also collapsing in the turmoil.
A group of rich people took advantage of the rise of robotics to steal authority. In order to maintain their lifestyle, they established the Elysia Space Station in outer space and escaped from the extremely harsh earth.
From then on, the multi-national system transitioned from the federal urban system.
Humans live together in urban areas, and each urban area is very far apart, so it is very difficult to communicate with people. Because there are many nuclear radiation areas left over from nuclear war on the earth, if you accidentally step in, you may be subjected to lethal doses of radiation.
The nuclear war has caused a sharp decline in the population, but not only that, the series of serious impacts left by the nuclear war and the harsh laws formulated by the upper classes of citizens in the Elysia Space Station have once again faced the challenge of survival.
Darwin recalled sadly that when he was a child, there were about 15 million residents in the city, but now there is only nearly 3 million people, less than one-fifth of the population at that time.
"Those who can survive healthily are all lucky guys. Nine out of ten children will suffer from various diseases. One of the ten who can grow up healthily is very lucky."
"Darwin, you super lucky guy, you lived to be sixty-three." Thomas shouted with a laugh.
"So, I like Darwin who is called me immortal." Darwin responded with a humorous smile.
"Cheers to the immortal Darwin, to the healthy and alive." Mike raised the bottle of wine in his hand.
Darwin has a wide range of knowledge. After all, he lived in his sixties and was already a very high age group among the surface residents of the "Elysia Space".
However, Wei Ran still has some very critical information that he can't find out, and Darwin didn't know much.
No matter how long Darwin lived, he was always just an ordinary surface resident. Some information was impossible to access. Wei Ran needed to find relevant people with higher status to understand the situation.
"Thomas, do you know who the highest-ranking person in this city is?" Wei Ran asked.
