Chapter 148 The Federation in the Wind and Rain (Part 1)
Chen Fang woke up from hunger, looked out the window, it was already dark, and he didn't know how long he had slept.
"You're awake." A kind and gentle voice rang in my ears.
Chen Fang turned his head and saw Helen Kaiser wearing reading glasses, sitting on a chair beside the bed with a book in her hand.
"What time is it?"
"It's eight o'clock."
Karen Hesse closed the book and stood up, "I'll get you something to eat."
"No, I'll do it myself."
"How long have I been asleep?" Chen Fang asked while putting on his coat and getting out of bed.
"A few hours."
"Son, thank you for saving me again today." Karen Hesse said gratefully.
"You're welcome, those people originally wanted to kill me, I had to fight to survive, and saving you was just incidental." Chen Fang said.
"Mortal technology, old glory, it seems that they all want to catch me."
"Oh, I got you in trouble." Karen Hesse sighed.
"Can you always tell me why? Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't mention it."
To be honest, Chen Fang was very curious why the two forces were so attached to an old lady.
"There's nothing you can't say, but it's a long story. If you don't dislike my nagging, I can talk about it."
"Sit down a bit, I'll get some food, and eat while listening."
"By the way, do you always want it? I'll get it for you together."
"Make me a pot of tea, thank you."
After Chen Fang went to the kitchen for a while, he returned to the room with food and tea sets.
The two sat in the room, one talked while drinking, and the other listened while eating.
After Karen Hesse took a sip of tea, she didn't say why the two forces had trouble with her, but asked Chen Fang a question first.
"What do you think of the current Federation?"
"Uh, I'm not sure. I'm a small person who doesn't know much about this." Chen Fang was puzzled by this question, but he answered it truthfully.
"Then do you think the current federal law is too harsh on the awakened?"
"It's okay, at least if you don't commit crimes, it won't have much impact, but you need to guard against some ordinary people deliberately finding fault." Chen Fang thought for a while and said, he is a man of duty, and he has never committed crimes in the city. He did, but the law couldn't find him.
The federal law has different sentencing standards for ordinary people and awakened people. Chen Fang does not know the specifics, but he has heard that for the same crime, ordinary people may be sentenced to ten years, but for awakened people, it is to destroy the source of life. Heart, and sentenced to twenty years in prison, quite heavy.
As for the reason, it dates back to the predecessor of the Char Federation, the time of the Great Race Alliance.
At that time, the five major races had just joined together to fight against mutant creatures. As the first combat power, the awakened had the absolute right to speak, and the leaders and high-level leaders of all races were all awakened.
In the early stage, due to the huge external pressure and few awakened people, ordinary people and awakened people can share joys and sorrows.
But with the establishment of cities, the completion of nine defensive walls, and the gradual adaptation and settlement of the five races in this world, a thought that the awakened are higher than ordinary people began to grow.
After all, it was only the awakened who could fight mutant creatures at that time, while ordinary people hid behind the thick city walls and enjoyed the peace that the awakened had sacrificed their lives for. If you are protected by me, then you should enshrine me and obey Me, isn't this what it should be.
So I don't know how many years later, a very domineering figure appeared. After becoming the helm of the racial alliance, he promulgated a very ridiculous hierarchical division system that was very popular with the awakened people at the time.
This system divided the people at that time into three levels. The awakened person was the highest level, then the family members of the awakened person, and finally ordinary people, who enjoyed different levels of treatment.
The promulgation of this hierarchical system was resisted by the majority of ordinary people at the time, but it was useless, because the environment at that time was that the base number of awakened people was much lower than ordinary people; the strength of awakened people was much higher than ordinary people; They are all awakened; the awakened can live without ordinary people, and the latter can only die without the former.
So this hierarchical system is still implemented, but it intensifies the contradiction between ordinary people and awakened ones.
Awakened people come from ordinary people, but the bases of the two are too different. Many ordinary people's ancestors have never had Awakened people, and they have always been at the bottom of society.
Due to the randomness of the appearance of the awakened person is too strong, even if there is an awakened person, the family will be rich and prosperous, but if there is no more awakened person in the family before the death of the awakened person, the family fortune will be reduced in a very short period of time. Weak and reduced to the bottom of society, it is conceivable how much social instability this system will bring.
This kind of short-lived wealth and wealth led to an inevitable situation, that is, once an awakened person appeared in the family, after the awakened person raised his status, he would start to make a fortune and act as a domineering person.
After such a situation occurs, the conflict between ordinary people and the awakened will inevitably be exacerbated, and finally a large-scale conflict will break out. In a desperate situation.
In a domineering world, there must be kingly ways.
When the big league was in turmoil, each of the five races had their own heroes. With their extraordinary charisma and the slogan of equality for all, they gathered a group of ordinary people, and with the help of some insightful awakened Under such circumstances, most of the army at that time was instigated. In the end, five people joined forces with five forces, and used their lives to kill those power-awakened people who were domineering at that time.
I won't say much about the specific process and tactics. Anyway, after the five heroes took over the race alliance, they changed most of the original system, set up the five-race council, changed its name to the Char Federation, and retreated behind the scenes.
At the same time, these five heroes were also crowned with the highest glory of their own race by the people, calling them emperors.
And those awakened people who helped ordinary people in this struggle also enjoyed the praise of the world, and received the privileges granted by the Federation, and made the later families.
After the Char Federation was established, in order not to repeat the same mistakes, it began to restrain the awakened and set up laws that were more stringent than ordinary people.
The above is the information that Chen Fang got when chatting with Fang Dazhao.
"The conflict between the awakened person and ordinary people has always existed. Even if the law favors one side in this way, it will not help. Instead, it will exacerbate the conflict between the two parties. But if you don't do this, it won't work."
But this is not a long-term solution. The most fundamental thing is to solve the strength gap between ordinary people and awakened people. At the very least, when ordinary people and awakened people face each other, they have the power to fight back.
Therefore, in order to balance the combat power between the awakened and ordinary people, the Federation opened up all the scientific and technological materials left over from the mortal period, and encouraged ordinary people to conduct research and experiments.
"Mortal technology was produced in this environment. They have been studying how to make ordinary people stronger than awakened people."
"Mechanical structure modification, human and mutant creature fusion transformation, etc."
"Then what happened to those lunatics in the old glory? The gods are dead, and they are still shouting slogans to restore the age of the gods." Chen Fang asked.
"Originally, the Old Glory Sect was a purely religious organization."
"But since the law against the Awakened appeared, they have grown stronger."
"Ah?" Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why a law could make a religion grow stronger.
"When the Federation was first established, the laws for the awakened were harsher than they are now. It can almost be said that as long as a crime is found, the Heart of Suyuan will be destroyed."
"Those who have tasted extraordinary power will not be reconciled after losing their power."
"For unknown reasons, the people of the old glory discovered that the awakened who lost the heart of Suyuan could gain divine power after worshiping a certain god and offering sacrifices." Karen Hesse explained.
"So that's how it is." Chen Fang understood.
"Why do these two forces trouble you?" Chen Fang asked again.
"Because of one of my studies."
"The research on transforming the core of the mutated creature into the heart of the source." Karen Hesser slowly said something that shocked Chen Fang.
"This is impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
"The heart of the awakened person and the core of the mutated creature seem to be two different things, but their essence is indeed the same."
"Do you know that the heart of the source of the high-level awakened person is actually no different from the core of the mutant creature."
"What!" Chen Fang almost jumped up in surprise.
