Chapter 164 I will ruthlessly enslave you!
Chapter 164 I will ruthlessly enslave you!
Zhang Chulan sensed a desolate past from Ersha's words.
"Could it be your hometown...?"
Ersha nodded firmly.
“That’s right! My mother’s home planet, Kitty, was ruthlessly invaded by the Interstellar Corporation! Now, the people of Kitty live under the enslavement of the Interstellar Corporation at all times!”
Seemingly sensing his teammate's sadness, Wang Zhenqiu abandoned his usual jovial demeanor and patted Ersha on the shoulder with a serious expression.
Wenshan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seeing her sad expression, she finally closed her mouth and sat down to the side.
After a long silence, Ersha snapped out of his grief and continued speaking to Zhang Chulan.
"Do you know what Starship Corporation's consistent practices are?"
"Although the company cannot use force due to the existence of protection laws, once a planet is targeted by them, the company will forcibly occupy that planet and use their advanced technology to destroy all the planet's local industries in a very short time!"
Ersha pointed at the phone in Zhang Chulan's hand and asked, "Do you remember how much you paid for this phone?"
"Um... I think it's over two thousand."
"If there were a phone that only cost one hundred, but its performance was more than ten times that of your current phone, which one would you choose to buy?"
"That must be the cheaper one!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed instinctively.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he understood what Ersha meant.
Seeing Zhang Chulan's expression, Ersha understood that Zhang Chulan had roughly understood what he had said.
"Interstellar Corporation possesses technology far surpassing that of ordinary planets. If they wish, they can easily produce high-tech products that the original planet could not produce even after tens of thousands of years, thanks to their hundreds of thousands of years of technological accumulation."
"The planet's native technology has absolutely no chance against the Interstellar Corporation. In addition, with the Interstellar Corporation backed by the Cosmic Alliance, the native forces cannot retaliate even if they want to. In a few decades, all the original industries on the planet will be occupied by the Interstellar Corporation! The entire planet will be controlled by the company!"
The word "double kill" reminded Zhang Chulan of cyberpunk, and images from the game entered his mind.
The country boasts highly developed technology and is filled with various advanced electronic devices, yet behind all this beauty lies a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
The people at the bottom of society live in poverty, struggling to survive in the dark and damp environment of the sewers, living like rats.
Crime and corruption are rampant in impoverished areas, and the people live a life of misery.
Social order is in chaos, and the interstellar corporation wields absolute power, severely oppressing and monitoring the lower classes!
Er Sha shook his head as he listened to Zhang Chulan's description of the cyberpunk world.
"No, that's not true. The technology of the Interstellar Corporation is many years ahead of that of humans. They look down on the meager resources of humans. To prevent local residents from rebelling, the Interstellar Corporation usually builds residential areas for them according to the local people's customs and drives them in."
"Do I need to pay for that?"
"What does Starship Corporation need money for? Everything is provided for free."
"What about the meals for those who go in?"
"With the technology of the Interstellar Corporation, they can easily produce large quantities of food, and they will arrange for robots to deliver the food to them for free."
"What do the people who enter the residential area do on a daily basis? Don't they need to do hard labor for the interstellar company?"
"What does the company need them for? Robots can do all the work."
"What if I get sick? Are there hospitals?"
"Interstellar Corporation has specialized medical robots that can treat almost all diseases."
"What if you're bored and have nothing to do on weekdays?"
"The Interstellar Company will arrange virtual games for the people inside to numb their will."
Ersha's words confused Zhang Chulan; he didn't understand why the company people had come.
"What exactly are the people from Interstellar Corporation doing here?"
All that could be heard was Ersha saying fiercely, "Every planet has its own special mineral resources, and that's what the Interstellar Company is after, but we are limited by our technological level and cannot mine them for the time being."
Once the Interstellar Corporation has completely seized control of a planet's lifeline, it will send robots to mine its resources and claim them as its own! To completely plunder the planet's resources and prevent the native inhabitants from interfering, the company will even provide them with a plethora of mind-controlling entertainment facilities to undermine their will!
Holding a pink jelly in her arms, Feng Baobao raised her hand and asked, "I have a question. After they finish mining the resources, will they take everything with them and leave?"
"No, that won't happen. It's too much trouble to bring things back and forth. Interstellar companies usually produce things on-site after arriving on a planet. After they've plundered the resources, they leave the production lines they've established locally, and robots are responsible for their supervision and maintenance."
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Chulan tentatively asked Ersha.
"You mean that when the people from the interstellar company come, they will provide us with big houses and endless food, as well as a lot of entertainment facilities, and free medical care if we get sick, and the price is some resources that we may not be able to use for hundreds or thousands of years?"
So, after they finish mining, they won't leave immediately, but will instead leave robots behind to oversee the production line and continue providing us with the same services?
Ersha nodded fiercely.
"Yes! How terrifying is that! My mother's home planet, Katie, has been completely taken over by the Interstellar Corporation. The people there have handed over all their businesses to the company and now live a terrifying life where they are waited on hand and foot!"
They don't work shifts or do any work all day! They just eat, drink, and have fun everywhere! They get free medical care when they're sick, and robots deliver food to their homes for free when they're hungry. Can you imagine how terrifying that is? Can you imagine wanting to go to work but not even having a company to work for?
Even on ordinary days, I could only pass the painful time by playing boring games. This kind of life, where I was enslaved by the interstellar company every moment, was too terrifying. My mother came here because she couldn't stand life on Katie Planet.
The thought of my 996 work schedule fills me with a sense of happiness, a blessing that even the Katie aliens can never enjoy.
After recounting the evil deeds of the Interstellar Company, Ersha looked at Zhang Chulan with sincere eyes.
"Now you should understand the evils of Starship Corporation."
Zhang Chulan took a deep breath and rolled up his sleeves.
"Hey, where's that Space Interstellar Company you mentioned? I'll go greet them."
