Liu Xing, who is already 40 years old, has not forgotten the experiences of listening to his grandfather's stories about ancient times when he was a child. In the past, his grandfather's face was almost always filled with a happy smile.

Because twenty or thirty years ago, "Yuanchu Star" had already undergone decades of development, with a sound city and generous welfare, it was the period with the most abundant dividends of the times.

Grandpa Liu Xing can be said to be very proud of the dividends of the times.

Not only him, but also his old friends all enjoyed generous treatment.

That "golden age" was the most comfortable time for a generation of immigrants, and they deeply experienced the pride of workers.

But when Liu Xing grew up and entered society from school, he gradually discovered that society was not as comfortable as his grandfather had said.

It's not just the physical fatigue caused by work, but also a feeling of suffocation shrouded by ubiquitous pressure.

Mortgage, car loan, household expenses, investment in children's education, parents' retirement expenses...all of these are like mountains pressing on Liu Xing's back, making it impossible for him to breathe.

"What do you mean? My dad is covered by employment insurance, so according to the regulations, 90% of the expenses can be reimbursed. Why is it that only 50% is reimbursed now?"

At this moment, Liu Xing was standing at the payment window of the hospital in City No. 1 of "Yuanchu Star" and shouting at the payment robot inside.

"Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, according to the latest regulations, only 50% can be reimbursed, and this will be the proportion in the future." The robot made an emotionless voice.

"What rules? Where did these rules come from?" Liu Xing shouted, "Why have I never heard of this rule?"

"I'm sorry, this is a regulation that was just issued by the Star Alliance Office yesterday. If you want to know more details, please go to the relevant department. The hospital cannot provide you with any further answers."

Faced with such a perfunctory and indifferent attitude, Liu Xing was about to lose his temper, but two security robots quickly flew over and hovered above his head.

Liu Xing, who had witnessed the power of the security robot on TV, was immediately speechless. He did not want to undergo a "deep electric shock therapy", so he could only pay the money and leave.

After taking his father out of the hospital after surgery and getting on the flying car, Liu Xing, with a worried look on his face, finally started to complain.

"Dad, I told you to drink less, but you never listened to my advice in all these years! If it weren't for the advancement of technology now, your alcoholic liver disease would have killed you!"

"Okay, okay, okay, drink less in the future, you must drink less!" Liu Xing's father said perfunctorily.

"You want more?" Liu Xing's tone suddenly rose: "Do you know how much money you spent this time?"

"What are you yelling about? Your father has paid for insurance for decades, and the cost can only be reimbursed by 9%..."

"It's half!" Liu Xing activated the autopilot mode, turned around and shouted to his father: "There is a new rule now, only half can be reimbursed!"

"What the hell?" Liu Xing's father was anxious, his eyes widened: "Why? I paid the agreed quota all my life, and it was cut in half the first time I used it?"

"How should I know?" Liu Xing's voice was loud as he continued to shout, "Now, I have no money to pay for this month's loan!"

"Go, go ask now!" Liu Xing's father pointed ahead and shouted, "Go ask them for an explanation!"

"My father, your grandfather reimbursed the entire amount back then, and we didn't have to spend a penny!"

"What era was that? Grandpa was a contributor to the development of the country, so of course he could enjoy better treatment."

However, Liu Xing did not hold much hope for questioning and making trouble. After all, can an arm twist stronger than a thigh?

Although their family had been on Yuanchu Star for three generations, they were all ordinary people. Who could they turn to when they encountered such a thing? Who could they turn to for help with such a unified rule?

However, he still took his father on the trip.

When we arrived at the service hall, we found that there were already a lot of people gathered here, questioning the staff, and the atmosphere was very heated.

"Why do you surrender just like that? Did you ask us?"

"This kind of major matter must go through a public hearing. You are breaking the law, do you know that?"

"Tell your supervisor to come out, stop using these broken machines to make excuses!"

……

At this moment, a high-end cocktail party is being held in a villa in the city center of "Yuanchu Star" No. 1. The participants are all wealthy nobles and children of aristocratic families.

"Mr. Tang, 'Yuanchu Star' is a benchmark. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble if you just force your way in?" A well-dressed handsome middle-aged man came up to another handsome middle-aged man who was equally sanctimonious with a glass of wine.

More than eighty years have passed since the earthlings entered the interstellar age. The top leaders of the two major camps of the East and the West have gradually become "homogeneous". One hundred and thirty years have passed, and the former peasants have long since washed away their rusticity and developed an aristocratic style.

A noble and wealthy family with a century-old history.

Apart from inheriting surnames and resources, today's children of nobles have long forgotten why their ancestors stood up and sacrificed their lives.

"What could possibly happen?" The middle-aged "Young Master Tang" sneered, "The spacecraft is in our hands, and we can't even get the news out!"

The reason why he is still a "young master" when he is middle-aged is because the masters in his family are still alive. Just like the masters of the American consortium in the past, the masters in their families are getting longer and longer, and a "prince of forty years" is not uncommon.

Therefore, the "young masters" are more anxious to achieve some results so that the old guys can recognize their abilities.

"It is precisely because 'Yuanchu Star' is a benchmark that it has more demonstration significance. As long as we take this place, won't other planets be easy to capture?"

Mr. Tang shook his wine glass, looking like he had everything under control.

"These little bastards deserve to be punished! After a few years of good life, they have forgotten their origins and are greedy."

"The old saying is true: a little kindness is worth a lot of hatred."

"We shouldn't have let them eat so much in the past years!"

"Fortunately, now we can correct this mistake."

"Haha, then I wish Young Master Tang a successful start and a good start for us." The "young master" next to him raised his glass to congratulate.

"Don't worry, everything is under control!" Tang Shao drank the wine in the glass.

After the two "young masters" finished their business, they walked towards the young girls in the banquet hall and started the next "business".

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

On the other side, Liu Xing and his father didn't even have a chance to speak before they were surrounded by a large number of security robots and enjoyed a wave of "electric shock massage".

Liu Xing's father had just recovered from a serious illness. After the electric shock, he foamed at the mouth and fainted.

"dad!"

In the chaotic hall, no one paid attention to the fallen figure, because more figures also fell down.

The world finally returned to the way it once was.

Chapter 586: The essence of aristocratic families and capital consortiums can be summed up in two words: cannibalism!

What happened on "Yuanchu Star" was ultimately not spread out. Not only did it fail to attract widespread attention, but it also sounded the clarion call for the noble families to take action.

Television and the Internet were flooded with news about the "American Civil War". Young people were enthusiastically discussing the developments of the war, wishing they could take over and become powerful generals.

Only middle-aged people who need to support their families and elderly people whose vital interests have been damaged have become victims of this large-scale "quota adjustment", welcoming the butcher knife of noble families and silently licking their wounds.

Unfortunately, the elderly people whose passion has cooled down do not have the determination and physical strength to fight to the end, and the middle-aged people who have elderly parents and young children to take care of do not have the courage to fight to the end, and can only endure everything silently in the end.

"Why did it turn out like this?" Liu Xing stood in the cemetery, facing the tombstones of his grandfather and father, his mind full of confusion.

He really couldn't understand why, more than 20 years ago, his grandfather was still boasting about his happy life, but now he had to watch his father being taken away by the powerful.

What went wrong that caused the world to change so drastically in just over twenty years?

He really can't figure it out!

Although he had attended university, political economy and some required ideological courses had long since disappeared from university textbooks. The once young Liu Xing was unwilling to read these boring books, and preferred to hide under the quilt and read novels on his personal terminal.

"Because this 'Yuanchu Star' is now named Tang."

There was a man who looked to be in his fifties standing in front of a brand new tombstone. He seemed to have heard Liu Xing's mumbling and talked to himself.

"I've heard before that a noble family was secretly embezzling the land of an entire planet, but I thought it was just an urban legend. I didn't expect it to be true."

"Ah?" Liu Xing turned his head, confused.

"Turning public property into private property and embezzling assets, a group of people did this a hundred years ago." The man sneered, "History is indeed a cycle!"

After saying this, the man turned and left. He didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Xing, nor did he care whether he could understand or not.

"What?" Liu Xing really didn't understand and was still confused.

As for the sober middle-aged man, he got on a black business car at the entrance of the cemetery.

"Old Chen, the data from the third experiment should have come out. We can't delay any longer!"

There was another person in the car, wearing thick glasses, with thinning hair and a look of worry in his eyes.

"Our laboratory was built when Mr. Lin was here. I had just graduated at that time. Mr. Lin personally planned the research direction for us and provided me with research ideas. Now we have finally achieved results according to his ideas."

The old man wearing glasses is named Xu Gaohua. He is nearly sixty years old, but he smiles happily when he recalls the past.

"This achievement must be made public and used to benefit our compatriots. This is the unfulfilled wish of General Lin!"

"I know." Chen Che nodded, but sneered: "But do you think the president of Lin Group and Mr. Lin's three children will choose to make our research results public after knowing them?"

"It's their business how to choose. We can't let Mr. Lin down!" Xu Gaohua said solemnly, "Don't forget, we all completed our studies with the financial support of Mr. Lin. Your father also passed the review and became the first generation of immigrants with the endorsement of the Lin Group..."

Perhaps because he knew it was inappropriate to say this right at the entrance of the cemetery, Xu Gaohua quickly stopped talking.

"Well, my uncle had an accident, and no one wants to see this happen. But you can't blame the Lin family for this accident, right?"

"I won't vent my anger on Mr. Lin's descendants for no reason, but I still hold the same opinion as before. I don't believe that the Lin family will choose to make our research results public after knowing them." Chen Che insisted on his opinion.

"Forget it, let's not argue about this for now. Let's bring the research data back to Earth first..."

Xu Gaohua's words were interrupted by a video request that popped up on his personal terminal, and he clicked to answer it.

"what happened?"

"Teacher, the results of the third experiment are out. Just like the previous two times, it can be confirmed that the genetically modified agent has been initially perfected and has the conditions for conducting real-life experiments." The person in the video is Xu Gaohua's student and assistant, who is reporting the results to him with a happy face.

"Great!" Xu Gaohua was overjoyed. He turned to look at Chen Che and said excitedly, "We can now bring the complete data back to Earth and let the Lin Group communicate with the government to recruit volunteers for the next step of real-life experiments."

Chen Che did not say anything, so Xu Gaohua used voice control to activate the car's automatic driving mode and asked the black commercial vehicle to take them back to the laboratory.

This biological laboratory located on "Yuanchu Star" was specially selected and built by Lin Hao more than 30 years ago.

In order to fill this laboratory, Lin Hao started to look for a group of talented young people decades ago and sponsored them to go to school. After they completed their studies, he brought a group of young people who were interested in engaging in biological research to this laboratory on "Yuanchu Star" according to their personal wishes.

However, just a few years after the laboratory was built, Lin Hao suddenly "passed away". He only had time to make a start and provide some research directions and ideas for these young people.

However, with Lin Hao's means, what he left behind was equivalent to a road with a solid foundation. This group of young people only needed to fill it in step by step to achieve results naturally.

Of course, the brains of these young people cannot compare to Lin Hao's amazing brain, so it took a full thirty years to advance to this point today.

However, faced with the hard-earned results, this group of no longer young researchers had disagreements.
