Hardcore crisis

Just after the third year, people's speculation about Executivesword became more and more serious, especially because humans are particularly forgetful creatures. After not seeing the shadow of Executivesword for a long time, Albert, as the only spokesperson, gradually felt the danger. .

History records that on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2019, after an electromagnetic storm suddenly swept across the world, supernatural forces suddenly appeared all over the world. It seemed that a certain seed was planted in the bodies of countless people. Next, thousands of people suddenly awakened to superpowers, posing a major threat to global security.

Among them, the superpowers recruited by the government and those with legal identities are codenamed apostles. People who hide their superpowers among the people and are not recognized by the government are called wild apostles.

In the past, people might not have been able to accept the existence of superpowers so quickly. However, with Executivesword as a warning, humans quickly woke up and introduced a series of laws and policies against apostles and wild apostles.

It has to be said that perhaps Lu Yuan left too deep an impression on mankind. As a result, at the beginning, mankind had a very unfriendly attitude towards people with super powers. They sent out troops to directly kill confirmed super power users and capture super power users. There are countless examples of people with abilities serving as experimental subjects. Even if the official attitude improves later and they start recruiting superpowers, it still won't reassure many potential superpowers.

Among the wild apostles, the organization known as the "Three Kings" directly fights against the United World Government and is designated as a terrorist organization by the World Government.

Lu Yuan was thoughtful when he saw this.

Others may not know the underlying reason, but how could he not?

Although we still don’t know what happened, it is definitely closely related to the Holy Arrow. Albert must have gotten involved in the experiment of Holy Arrow adaptors!

Time continued to pass, and before he knew it, Albert quickly disappeared without a trace, and was finally recognized as dead by the World Government. His Albert Biopharmaceutical Company was also announced as being involved in the "Three Kings" terrorist organization. An investigation was conducted, and soon the world's largest philanthropic company announced its collapse.

However, although Albert was thought to be dead, the technology he left behind has developed rapidly, especially in the past five years, and the United World Government has gone through preliminary adjustments. Due to various reasons, it will not really be disbanded.

But just like Lu Yuan's characterization of human beings, after losing the Executivesword, the Sword of Damocles, the elite group once again broke free from their greedy mouth.

First of all, the original purpose of the World United Government is to allow all human beings around the world to participate in this political union, that is, all countries and regions in the world are members. This is actually nothing, but in order to support the construction of poor countries and regions, the interests of many developed countries must be sacrificed, so forget it. For the elite group that controls the power, national interests are not completely equivalent to their interests.

But asking the elite group to give up the pursuit of interests, give up their unique status, and give up their rights is absolutely intolerable behavior.

Soon, support for backward countries and regions began to be withdrawn and terminated. After voting by the five major countries in the world government, they decided to invest limited resources in limited areas.

Originally, at the beginning of the 21st century, human beings gradually entered the high-tech information society, but the intervention from Executivesword led to the arrival of the high-tech information society at a great pace ahead of schedule. On this vast earth, the central coastal areas of China, South Korea, and Japan , North America, and Northern Europe, political circles, technological elites, wealthy people, and the middle and upper classes live here, enjoying the high-tech resources provided by Executivesword, and thinking about "the future development trends and infinite possibilities of mankind."

This area is the true core area of ​​the world government. Through advanced quantum satellite communication encryption technology, 10ZB submarine optical cable, and 100PB-level ultra-high-speed satellite communication bandwidth, people can communicate face-to-face with holographic images without any worries, even if they are thousands of miles apart. There is no obstacle at all.

However, outside this core area, countries and regions that have lost support and fallen into conflicts with terrorism and wild apostles are "hells" of crime, filth, disease, poverty, human trafficking, drugs, and pollution.

In an agricultural society, the elite cannot do without the labor of the people at the bottom.

In an industrial society, the elite class cannot do without the cheap labor force of the middle and lower classes, and the development of industry cannot do without the requirements of large-scale production, which inevitably requires the integration of the resources and strength of the entire society.

In the high-tech information society, NS-1, NS-2, NS-3, NS-4, and NS-5 produced through assembly line production have replaced almost all production that requires workers to participate, and can be produced faster and more efficiently. Good completion of production requirements.

Humans need sleep, wages, food, and insurance, but robots don't need any of these. As long as they require certain maintenance and regular inspections, they can produce uninterrupted 24 hours a day.

In this era, the elite's need for cheap labor was reduced to a minimum, while their requirements for intelligence were maximized.

Even the market, in the consumer market outside the core area, the elite does not care much, just because in the increasingly developed high-tech information core area, the average consumption power of people is more than 1,200 times that of the per capita consumption power in the outer core area. . The only value of non-core areas seems to be only some natural resources.

Over the past decade or so, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened to this level!

Thanks to the technical information left by Lu Yuan, artificial intelligence, big data integrated systems, robots, information technology, software programs, and new energy utilization are widely used in the core area. In contrast to this gap, countries outside the core area There was no resistance at all. Simply put, the world government has enough force to destroy all countries outside the core area.

The World Government only cares about the Wild Apostles. In particular, terrorist organizations headed by the "Three Kings" organization have been operating outside the core all year round to carry out terrorist attacks on core areas.

After quickly browsing the history of the past twenty-five years, Lu Yuan vaguely felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, I finally understood.

Someone is behind this.

Is it a historical necessity, or did someone do it deliberately?

According to his original idea, the technology he left behind was enough to allow mankind around the world to enter the wealthy class together, instead of artificially dividing the current 2.5 billion elite population, and then the 5.5 billion "beasts".
