Chapter 42: The Dandelion Project
"A group of homeless people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Clockwork Creming said with a shrug.
The bearded man on the opposite side heard Clockwork's words and grinned: "Ha, they are all homeless people here, otherwise who would want to stay in this hellish place." What I want to know is what your name is and why you became homeless. ”
Clockwork thought for a while and said: "Because I was too young and impulsive to deal with a drug cartel, and because of this, I offended the military forces behind him, and then attacked the police while being hunted, and a series of things led to me becoming a wanted criminal in the Federation." Then it became like this, being chased and beaten by them all the time in the Federation, and they had to leave the Federation to find a new home. ”
Whatever the reason, the result is that they become wanted criminals, unable to blend in the Federation, and can only seek a new living environment outside the Federation.
The bearded man smiled when he heard this, and said, "Then you are welcome to join the Liberals!" ”
"The Liberals?" Clockwork was stunned, as a member of the Free Heart, he was very familiar with the word "freedom", but he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the name of the other party's organization.
"Don't you even know about the Alliance of the Liberals?" The bearded man said incredulously.
Clockwork shook his head, he really hadn't heard of such an organization, so there was no way to pat his ass, and it was very embarrassing to chat here.
"We are known as the Little Federation of the Liberals, and you haven't even heard of it? So what are you doing in the Hertz Nebula Belt? The bearded man wondered.
Clockwork said embarrassedly: "I thought this was a no-man's land, so I came over to explore it, see if there was a habitable planet, and then settled, but I really didn't expect this to be the territory of the Liberty Alliance." ”
"It's okay if you don't know, since you're here, we're a family, you can go to the Liberties Alliance with me then, and everyone is still very welcome to join the new members. Of course, you can't do anything that goes against everyone's interests, or you'll be jointly expelled. The bearded man said again.
"Really?" Clockwork asked again, gesturing to his deputy to pass the news to Renault.
It seems that the problem of their base has been solved, and it didn't take long for them to come out, and they found other humans, and there are also human settlements, which is also good news for everyone.
The bearded man smiled and said: "Of course it's true, those of us who have been abandoned by the Federation can only unite and protect ourselves. Who made us all human? ”
"But the humans I've met before aren't as friendly as you." Clockwork shrugged, "Can you tell me about the Liberals and what's going on around here?" We've just explored it, and the planet looks like it's been hollowed out. ”
The bearded man smiled and said, "Do you know the 'Dandelion Project' decades ago? You may not know by looking at your age, because you were not born at that time. ”
Clockwork Cremin was stunned, and instantly thought of the almost great plan, and the "Dandelion Project" was called the "Seed Project" again. It is a policy that was initiated at a time when humans had just met the gods and were feeling great pressure.
In order to ensure the fire of mankind, many large transport starships have been built, which are like Noah's Ark, carrying many human hopes, going into the depths of space to seek new places to live. This was the beginning of another expansion of the federal government since the era of Great Immigration.
"Know! Also known as the Seed Plan, it is a plan issued by the Federation in order to prevent the human fire from being lost. Clockwork Cremin nodded.
The bearded man grinned when he heard this, a little disdainful and a little resentful.
Clockwork Cremin also thought of the point of the problem, if it was just a seed project, then these people would not be evicted, although it was far from the federal territory, but it did not mean that they could not go back, but they could go back.
"What's going on?" Clockwork asked.
"Is he claiming to be a seed program? Oh, in our view, this is obviously the release of resources, leaving more rich land to those in high positions, while those of us who are at the bottom of the barren are expelled to some uninhabited planet and left to fend for ourselves. The bearded man snorted.
"Wouldn't it be nice to live in a new environment?" Clockwork wondered.
"If you had been through the time, you wouldn't have said that." The bearded man's face darkened instantly.
"What happened?" Clockwork is becoming more and more curious about what is really going on with these "seed plan" people.
"We were attacked by the gods, and then asked the Federation for help, but we were abandoned by the Federation, and many people died in the fire of the gods, it was a near-apocalyptic scenario, the Federation fleet could have come to save us, but they abandoned us, and instead of closing the fleet closer, they quickly left the army of the gods." The bearded man roared angrily.
As a soldier, Clockwork also knows how soldiers will feel when they see a human being attacked, and he will definitely come forward in this situation. And this kind of indifference to the slaughter of the same kind of people simply cannot exist. If anything, it can only be said that this massacre was a decoy, luring humans to go in and rescue them, and then be wiped out.
But such words cannot be said by clockwork.
"Maybe there's something else?" Clockwork asked.
"No one cares about any other reason, we just know that we were abandoned by the Commonwealth, many of our comrades died in that massacre, and the Federal Government is no longer our patron! It's our enemies! Speaking of this, the bearded man was clearly a little indignant.
Clockwork also understood what was going on when he heard this, these people were members of the original "Dandelion Project", although the federal government's description of this matter was for the future of mankind, and it was very sacred, but in the eyes of these people, they were just poor worms expelled from the country by the upper class in order to survive and relieve pressure.
When you think about it, even the people who once lived on the earth have the same resource crisis, because the rapid increase in the number of human beings, as well as the development of medical equipment, make the number of births much greater than the number of deaths, in order to alleviate the population pressure, there are many countries that have implemented family planning to reduce the population pressure.
There was even a time when people used drugs to mass-kill their own kind to achieve this effect.
It was not until mankind became capable of voyages and terraforming that this problem was gradually improved. As the human government occupies more and more planets and the resources at their disposal are gradually increasing, they not only do not have to worry about the problem of population expansion, but need more men to serve in the army to deal with possible civil and foreign wars.
At this time, many people are already reluctant to have more children, because raising children is indeed a very tiring thing. In this case, the federal government can only use high subsidies to stimulate children to alleviate the problem of population shortage.
Although these subsidies are nothing in the eyes of the wealthy, there are still many poor people who are very desperate to get this money to support themselves, and there are some gambling or other financial failures who cannot work to support their families, so they can only support themselves with maternity allowances.
In this case, the crisis of population expansion is once again manifested.
The "Dandelion Project" was also launched at this time, and most people thought that this was the foresight of the human government, and only a few people and the parties knew that it was just the human government releasing pressure on resources and deliberately abandoning those useless people.
From this point of view, Renault and the others have suffered the same as these people, they all belong to a group of abandoned people, but another problem appears in Clockwork's brain.
"How did you survive the attack of the Divine Clan?"
