Chapter 444 Lifelong Employment
The DuPont family, one of the oldest and most prestigious families in the United States, once owned three incredibly extravagant estates.
The first, largest, and most comprehensive of these is the famous Winterthur Estate. It covers nearly 400 hectares and boasts several gardens, the most famous of which is the naturalistic garden, spanning 24 hectares.
This is the old DuPont house, which was built in 1839 and was later extensively expanded in the 20th century by the legendary DuPont family man, Henry Francis DuPont.
Henry Francis DuPont is known as the father of American decorative arts collections, so it is conceivable that Winterthur Estate was built with great artistry, and is known as a masterpiece of naturalistic gardens, and it also houses a collection of 100,000 pieces of various decorative art.
Instead of displaying his collection in the traditional museum style, Henry Francis dismantled and reconstructed the entire mansion, embedding furniture, paintings, silverware, ceramics, and textiles into the restored functional rooms according to historical periods.
Of course, many years later, as the DuPont family stopped forcing family members to gather together, this old house with 175 rooms has been transformed into a museum and a dedicated research library for the University of Delaware's Master of Conservation program.
Every year, countless people come to visit, hoping to glimpse the life of an elite American family in the 18th and 19th centuries from this old house.
The second estate, Nemours, is the closest to the style of a European palace. It was built in 1909 by Alfred du Pont for his second wife and is named after the du Pont family's ancestral lands in France.
Alfred was an industrial genius and inventor in the DuPont family. Nemoor Estate was equipped with a central heating system, internal telephone network, electric roller shutters and centralized vacuum system, which were very advanced for the time. Even from a 21st-century perspective, it is already very intelligent.
This place is not only technologically advanced, but also extremely luxurious. The golden reception room is even equipped with a music room with gilded panels and a large pipe organ.
The third one is completely different in style. This place, now known as the Hagley Museum and Library, is the industrial birthplace of the DuPont empire and the site of DuPont's first gunpowder factory.
Here you can still see the waterwheel power system used in the 19th century, as well as the stone-built gunpowder grinding workshop. This place not only showcases the life of the DuPont family, but also recreates the living quarters, school, and community of 19th-century gunpowder workers.
This is the original DuPont headquarters.
Of course, these three places, which are now used for public purposes, are not the current family residence of DuPont.
However, for DuPont, in addition to these three world-famous estates, there are many other private estates belonging to the DuPont family in Delaware.
In an area north of Greenville and south of Centerville, known by the older generation of Delaware as the land of castles, stone walls, manors, and pony farms are everywhere.
The entire area was built around Highway 52, which was personally modified by Pierre Dupont in the early 1900s.
On the west side of the highway, at the end of a private road without any signs, there is a rather unassuming gate. After passing through the gate, you have to walk for five or six minutes through woodland before you can see an old-fashioned 19th-century stone gatehouse.
The private defense here is quite inconsistent with the DuPont family's reputation.
After receiving instructions from the nearby police station, the Aurora Force ignored the unrest in the area and took over the entire manor without firing a shot.
A group of modifiers dressed in armor resembling the Warhammer Mark X trapped 13 core members of the DuPont family in a secret underground chamber in the annex.
These core members of DuPont still showed some of the DuPont family's fighting spirit, and even fought back with guns after the gate was violently damaged.
However, Aurora's Mark X armor was no mere decoration; several burly men braved the bullets and each fired a tranquilizer dart.
In the innermost part of the secret chamber, Dupont VIII sat in his seat, looking indifferent, trying to maintain the last vestiges of dignity for his family.
He had just called the trust company, but no one answered. He already knew that Aurora wasn't planning on having a proper trial.
Since that's the case, there's no need for him to put on a tearful and regretful act.
An intermediary walked in, looked at DuPont VIII, and, as if reading a verdict, announced the ultimate fate of the DuPont family.
"Your brains will be extracted by us and put into the Aurora Wet Brain Center to work. Unlike ordinary people, where your consciousness is used in the Wet Brain Center, we pay you."
The creativity of wetware still needs to be sustained by humans. We pay to use it; they can sleep and work for a year, then wake up and enjoy the oasis for another year.
But you thirteen are sinners. You have no right to enjoy anything, and we will not let you sleep. Your consciousness will be in darkness, working for the aurora for free for the rest of your lives.
The other DuPont family members who work in the trust are also considered core family members, and they are treated the same as the thirteen people here.
Those who are completely innocent, we will not pursue the matter since Lord Chen Yiran is kind-hearted. However, from a legal standpoint, we will submit evidence of your unauthorized breach of trust rules and manipulation of trust investments, which will directly destroy the trust, and the state of Delaware should be able to recover your funds.
Those people won't receive any more money; they can fend for themselves.
DuPont VIII's face twitched involuntarily. What did it mean to work for the aurora borealis in darkness for a lifetime? It was truly wicked.
He said angrily, "You might as well just kill me, and what about the more than three thousand members of the DuPont family? Why don't you just kill them too? Most of my family members have never worked since birth, some of them simply live a secluded life in remote towns, without any trust. It's no different from killing them."
What you're doing now is even more evil than killing us! Aren't you afraid of going to hell?
The leader of the mediators thought for a moment and said, "How many divisions does God have? How many troops are there in Hell? Let's see how that goes. Our goal has always been to make Satan tremble. We'd be very happy if we could tattoo Jasmine's or Eggman's faces all over Satan's body."
DuPont VIII began to feel fear. He didn't know what it meant to work forever in the dark, but the thought alone was enough to drive anyone mad. He began to plead, "Isn't there any other way? I also know of several other families in America who are also unhappy about the aurora."
"I can help you! I know them all very well. I know which families are secretly gathering strength, and which families are planning to make a move. They were hesitant before, but I can help you lure those families out."
The person making the adjustment seemed interested, took a few steps and sat down in a chair, looking as if he wanted to have a talk with DuPont VIII.
Then, the chair in the conference room collapsed with a loud bang.
DuPont VIII almost laughed for a moment, but years of training made him hold it in.
But the people adjusting things outside the door were already laughing.
"Hahaha, Pineapple, you big idiot, you weigh over half a ton now, and you still want to sit in a chair."
"To be honest, I think our Warhammer squad should elect a new captain. Isn't it a bit much to elect him just because he knows Warhammer well enough?"
"I agree, it's too embarrassing. We'd be too ashamed to say we're from the Warhammer Squad when we go out."
Pineapple almost tripped and fell on its backside due to carelessness, but fortunately, thanks to its amazing mecha abilities, it managed to get into a horse stance.
Just as he was about to refute his unscrupulous colleagues outside, he received a series of messages.
He immediately stood up straight, like a soldier standing at attention, and nodded occasionally.
The team members outside fell silent, which clearly indicated that someone above was communicating with Pineapple.
After a while, Pineapple's voice was filled with excitement as she said, "The boss just called me! He said we don't need to ask any questions, just come and take him away."
The person outside immediately changed the subject.
"The boss contacted you personally? Has the boss been keeping an eye on our operations? We did a good job today, didn't we?"
"Well, not really. The main problem is that no one resisted, so it didn't show any of our capabilities."
"Exactly, our armor is much more expensive than the armor of the Imperial Stormtroopers. What if the company thinks it's too expensive and refuses to make it for us? Seriously, when will we ever go to war?"
Unlike the group of people worried about their careers, DuPont VIII was genuinely panicked, shouting, "I'm not lying to you, really! Many of America's old families, while not as long-established as ours, are still centuries old, and many of them are resentful of Aurora's domineering attitude!"
"The boss said, we don't care if you're against the aurora. We don't need to resort to any tricks; we'll just chop off anyone who tries to touch it. Enough talk, let's go, and dedicate your life to the aurora."
You guys are incredibly stupid. We've already despore-treated the black velvet before displaying it; it's useless to you even if you get your hands on it. Trying to steal our Aurora products? You're delusional!
"Sigh, I wonder how long wet brain technology will be used in human society. I estimate it will be used for at least a thousand years. You're really lucky to have lived that long, even if you've only lived in darkness."
On that day, many residents of Delaware saw the deployment of the military and the Aurora Adjusters.
However, the government has not released any information and has simply quietly canceled the investigation team investigating the attack on Hawaii Governor Kathleen.
Aurora didn't mention the case again, but instead released Catherine's speech at the Oasis, in which she was choosing her preferred body style.
She will soon become the second governor in the United States, after the governor of Delaware.
Some long-established families with deep-rooted connections have also completely corrected their position after this incident.
The forces from all sides began to be further integrated.
With the powerful Eastern nation and the United States joining forces, resources for various manufacturing industries, including steel, are fully guaranteed. There's not much to say; let's unleash our traditional skills and mass produce troops!
Inside the Aurora, the Millennium Falcon is nearing completion thanks to the round-the-clock work of engineering robots.
Although it was sent to space to clean up trash, this was actually the first time that something could truly be called a space warship.
