Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 1324 A Reason

Yang Bo watched the live broadcast from the Allied military media in his villa in March Star.

The pirates' base was located inside an asteroid.

Many planets appear to be solid on the outside, but actually contain various passageways inside!

This is because the planet used to have magma activity inside it.

Once the planet's energy is depleted, it will leave behind many voids.

Some underground cavities can even reach heights of tens of kilometers.

The pirates' base was located in such an underground cavern.

Moreover, the entrances to such underground cavities are usually very well hidden, typically located on the inner side of an asteroid's impact crater.

Pirate bases are actually just common alien bases used by humans to explore other planets!
It was all built using modular construction.

The space where the base is located has been specially treated.

A coating was sprayed onto the rock face to absorb energy waves.

This is mainly to prevent other spacecraft or warships from exploring this asteroid!
Mining companies' unmanned exploration spacecraft or probes will not overlook any planet or meteorite in the universe.

Sometimes a meteorite that is several kilometers in diameter may be entirely composed of rare materials!
There are even asteroids in the universe with a gold content of over 99%!
As for common iron and copper, these are present in even higher concentrations!
"Hello everyone, I am a military correspondent from the Alliance's First Fleet."

"The First Fleet discovered some clues during an emergency drill, based on plans from the Alliance Council and the military!"

"Then we followed the clues and arrived here, and it's worth mentioning!"

"During our journey here, we discovered a large amount of residual energy in a certain star system!"

"These residual energy reserves indicate that a battle took place in that space at that time!"

"The relevant departments are currently analyzing the energy residue."

"What you see is the original appearance of the pirate base!"

"The entire pirate base was built from more than 2,300 modules!"

"Thirteen thousand four hundred and fifty people live inside."

"However, one-third of them are cyborgs or genetically modified humans who were altered by pirates!"

"Because of manpower shortages, pirates will convert some of their members!"

"The other two-thirds are ordinary people. According to the on-site investigation, this base has existed for at least four hundred years."

"Most of the ordinary people here were born inside the base."

"They were treated like prisoners; the pirates forced them into marriage and procreation!"

"Then most of them didn't have access to any high-tech equipment."

"Furthermore, we have a record here that more than 60,000 people have died here, and all of these people have been reduced to energy by the energy reducer!"

Su Wei frowned slightly upon seeing this: "What is this energy restorer?"

"It's about reducing people to their most basic elements!"

"Restore the human body to water and nutrient solution!"

"You can use nutrient solutions to cultivate all kinds of plants or meats!" Yang Bo explained.

"This is a common practice for alien bases!" Because of resource shortages, alien bases have no choice but to adopt this method.

In other words, as long as the base has enough energy and sufficient resources at the beginning, it will not lack resources in the future.

It's actually like the cycle on Earth, except that there are various microorganisms on Earth that break down humans or the waste they produce into various nutrients to supply plants, and then the plants supply animals!

Inside the alien base, people or waste products are directly broken down into different energy liquids.

Then you can directly cultivate the plants or meats you need!

The plants cultivated here, for example, are vegetables; they are not whole plants.

Meat is also cultured directly into meat chunks.

Although studies have shown that these meats and vegetables have the same nutritional value as naturally grown ones, and without some of the disadvantages of natural growth!
Because natural growth involves long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays or sunlight, there will be some energy radiation!
These energy radiations simply do not exist in laboratory-grown organisms.

Although the energy liquid itself contains trace amounts of radiation, these cultivated products undergo various treatments.

Although the nutritional value of products grown in this way is no different from that of naturally grown products, their taste and flavor are very different!
Therefore, naturally grown products are expensive!

Yang Bo used to eat mostly products grown in this way when he was in welfare housing.

They are trained in specialized factories.

Li Yong did not appear in the video because he is too young.

The people appearing on camera are the fleet commander and the chief of staff.

The fleet commander declared passionately that these pirates were criminals who forcibly imprisoned so many people, forced them to mate and reproduce, and violated their human rights.

Then I just randomly remembered something and went into the base, only to find that life there was absolutely terrible!

"They live in cramped, sunless spaces with less than ten square meters of space per person!"

"Their clothes are always this single color!"

"There were no entertainment facilities in their rooms."

“They want entertainment, so they have to go to centralized entertainment rooms.”

"Moreover, according to some data, they also have a reproductive task."

"Here's some data that shows the average life expectancy here is only fifty years!"

"The main problem is their frequent births, and the complete lack of medical care!" "These damned pirates, they should all go to hell."

In Yang Bo's opinion, the living conditions inside the pirates' alien base were quite good.

Of course, there are no rights here. Most of the time, meals consist of various energy bars. Vegetables, meat, or fruit are only eaten two days a week or other times!
Yang Bo learned about the fainting of the leader of the Raptor Pirates through the Spirit Seed!
He chuckled to himself.
The first and second vice-captains of the Raptors Pirates were still shaken!

Both of them were extremely glad they hadn't gone to that base, otherwise they would have been captured by now!

Do not!
They are already dead, because the chips they carried would self-destruct immediately!

Because the chip access is with the guild leader!

Meanwhile, Li Yong of the First Fleet is currently putting on a show at the pirate base.

Li Yong is currently the deputy captain of a Class C warship.

He personally rescued prisoners from pirate bases, mainly vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and women.

There are no elderly people in this facility!

In this base, people are disposed of once they reach a certain age.

In other words, the most important role for ordinary people in this base is to reproduce.

As for the actual work, that's all secondary!

The work I did mainly involved changing commercial packaging or remaking items.

This is why the average life expectancy at this base is only fifty years.

Most women are evaluated after the age of 45.

If your health condition doesn't meet the standards, you'll be sent away immediately!

Men should be evaluated after the age of fifty!

As for sending it away, it's very simple; it's just directly broken down.

As more in-depth reports on this pirate base came in, it was soon revealed that it was the base of the Raptor Pirate Crew.

The Raptors Pirates have reached a point where they are universally hated in the league.

The Raptors Pirates' disregard for human rights is unbelievable to the citizens of the league!

This is actually what most pirate bases do!
It's not just pirate bases; the Federation has similar practices on many planets!

The Federation is just being more discreet; if the elderly population on certain planets becomes too large, then some diseases may break out.

That sounds cruel.

In fact, this has been done since the beginning of humankind.

In ancient times, there were even laws that stipulated that anyone who reached a certain age would be dealt with!

Moreover, in ancient times, when the population was too large, wars would break out to consume the population!
Because if the population isn't depleted, the entire country will perish.

In ancient times, it could be said that people were forced to do this because they had no other choice.

But if such things still happen in this high-tech society, it can only prove that these leaders do not treat ordinary people as human beings.

Of course, none of the three countries treated the lower classes as human beings. Although Yang Bo had good welfare benefits in the past, he still became a free guinea pig.

To be honest, it's better to actively participate in various drug trials, as the rewards are higher, and there are also various guarantees.

This kind of sneaky behavior treats people like expendable resources.

As for the Federation, their methods are even more heinous. As mentioned earlier, the Federation will pollute the entire planet and then force the people there to take medication every day!

This forces people at the bottom to keep working, even if the pay is very low.

Because you don't work, you don't have the money to buy this medicine.

If you don't have money to buy medicine, you can only wait to die.

Who says that a high-tech society will necessarily bring happiness to humanity?
Because that's human nature!
If everyone lives the same life, how can we demonstrate their superiority?
Furthermore, for human technology to develop, it must constantly conduct various experiments.
Those wealthy and powerful people wouldn't allow themselves to experiment, would they?

These people are simply enjoying the results of the experiment.

As for the consumables during the experiment, no one cares about them at all.

After reading it, Su Wei felt a tightness in her chest, while Xi Ya and Annie were a little better off.

Because Su Wei is a princess, although she is not a superpowered person, her life is already several streets ahead of 99% of people in the entire economic society!

"Yang Bo, these pirates are truly despicable!"

"They carry out terrorist attacks everywhere!"

"They're so cruel to their own people!" Su Wei said in a muffled voice, hugging Yang Bo.

"Yes, when I have the ability, I will definitely fight against pirates."

"You'll be the captain, and I'll be the first mate."

"Let's chase after the pirates and fight them!" Yang Bo said half-jokingly.

Yang Bo actually felt this was an opportunity!
Being trapped in March Star makes it impossible to do anything!

We need to find a suitable reason, both externally and internally!

"Yes, yes, we'll give them a good beating then!" Su Wei nodded.

Annie and Sealy chuckled, both thinking it was a joke.
