Chapter 5 Chapter One The Taupe Planet

That day should be a great day.The correct date is September 16, 2504 AD.This day is the 80th birthday of the chairman of Sai'an Planetary Autonomous Government, and it is also the 42nd anniversary of his inauguration.In addition, it was the first day of his eighth re-election. When he was young, Alessandro Diaz, who could be called a beautiful boy in terms of figure and appearance, probably lived so long because he wanted to keep his handsome appearance!Although he is thin now, his complexion is surprisingly good.It would not be an exaggeration to say that he looks like a white-haired monster.

On the chest of the pure white shirt, there were medals that could not be counted with both hands and feet, shaking with the swing of his old man's body. About five steps away from him, stood a middle-aged obese man, saluting him respectfully.From the man's eyes and mouth, one can clearly see the flattery. "Your Excellency, I would like to implement a proposal in today's parliament." "Oh? What kind of proposal is it?" "I want to bestow the title of 'Chairman for Life' to you, the chairman of the parliament that has served the most consecutive terms. I am the one who thought of this honorary title."

Old Mr. Dias laughed!There was a strange sound of "Heh! Heh!" and he laughed. The room where the old man is located is located on the uppermost floor of the government office, which is the highest place from the ground on this Cyian planet.Above is a transparent spherical dome building, looking directly down, you can see the largest city on the planet below your feet.Speaking of the largest metropolis, in the case of the capital of the planet, Hirabalis, there are four million people.The middle floors between the tenth and twentieth floors are neatly arranged radially around the government office.

In this sphere building, a third male appeared, greeting the old gentleman in a very polite way.He is the director of the notorious Public Security Police Headquarters - collectively known as "Marcotte". He is not particularly tall, but he has unusually broad shoulders, as if a TV screen is hung on his body.Exactly half the age of Chairman Alessandro Dias.As soon as the director in khaki uniform stepped forward, the members of the Home Rule Council reluctantly stepped aside. "Your Excellency, I also have something to report to you." "Let's hear it!" "It's about that group of outrageous thugs who call themselves independents. Within today, we will definitely wipe them out, so that your Excellency can rest assured."

"Director, are you sure you can do it?" "Absolutely. It's as easy as solving elementary school math problems." The spherical dome building where they are located can be seen from almost every corner of every street in the city.There is such a situation because any building that would shade this building is prohibited from being built.Therefore, Chairman Dias has monopolized this "man-made place closest to the motherland earth" for more than forty years. Somewhere about 3 kilometers above the ground, a young man is staring at this huge government office building covered with a spherical dome. Desert area" The strong wind ruffled his hair, and the young man started talking to himself.

"Hmph! What's the forty-second anniversary of your inauguration? You autocratic old fool, today is your death day." He looked to be in his early twenties.He has naturally curly red hair and a light tan complexion.In the face carved out by a blunt knife, there is a pair of piercing eyes, as black as coal mines.It can be seen that there seems to be a dangerous atmosphere under this handsome face.In fact, he is a dangerous man.Although he calls himself a journalist, the self-government's Public Security Police Headquarters sees him as an impassioned supporter of full independence.However, he was really a journalist, and he was really a supporter of full independence.

The young man who would be known many years later as "Ned the Red," famous in Sai'an as a guerrilla standout but notorious on Earth, was now wearing a dark green jacket and turning the government The volume of pamphlets issued by the agency is in hand. Cyian is a new planet.It has been forty-four years since people lived in it.However, it has not been two centuries since the planet was born. This is an artificial planet, but it is not made of alloys or ceramics.Its parent body is Jupiter, which has been revolving around the sun since billions of years ago. Saiyan is one of the "new planets" made by artificially disintegrating Jupiter.

In 1966, a man named Freeman J. Daiso proposed that the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, might disintegrate.After that, in order to solve the problem of population expansion in 2300, various technical corrections were added, and this work began. Transport hundreds of asteroids around Jupiter in advance, install them on the screen, and configure the nuclear fusion system on the satellite orbit.This system will absorb the hydrogen on the surface of Jupiter, and then release it as heavy metals.Then, transport the heavy metals to the calculated orbit, collect these heavy metals at a certain point, and let them repeatedly collide with each other according to the principle of gravity, and then gradually become a spherical celestial body.

Arrange artificial planets as big as the earth in the orbits of the earth, Venus, Mars and other planets, and arrange five planets at equal intervals.At the same time, the direction of revolution of each planet is of course also consistent. Then, the unmanned spaceship with blue-green algae is injected into this artificial planet, and under the rapid reproduction of blue-green algae, the atmosphere and water will be produced.After the terrain and weather are gradually stabilized, the animals will be transported in and the greening work will be carried out.Although this work, which took more than two centuries, was repeatedly interrupted, after several twists and turns, finally, large-scale immigration began at the end of the 20th century.

In this way, there are currently fifteen artificial planets as large as the earth revolving in the solar system.Including Venus and Mars, which have been terraformed before, the total population has far exceeded the population of the earth. While this problem can occur on every planet, water is a particularly important resource on Cyian.As long as there is water, there are lush plants, wide agricultural land, and dense cities.No matter how similar in size or shape to Earth, each planet has its own characteristics.Narrow straits, vast land, scarce water sources, and numerous desert areas are the characteristics of Sai'an planet.

"Planet Sai'an is simply a waste planet. At the beginning, we should have considered the ratio of water surface to land!" The Minister of Space Development of the Central Earth Government said in a tone like a teacher scolding a student with poor grades.The conditions are not good, and the land price is of course cheap.For this reason, this planet has been criticized as "the planet of the poor". However, thanks to an earthquake, it was discovered that there is actually a very rich source of water in the planet Saiyan.It's just that these water sources didn't gush out of the ground, but were all lurking underground, forming a huge waterway network, shuttling and flowing through it. Below this barren land, there is a rich water source forming a sewer like a spider web.Its total length is estimated to be over six million kilometers long.Including the parts investigated by the Earth Central Government and the Sai'an Autonomous Government using scientific methods, less than 20% of them, and the rest are parts that have not yet been investigated. In the past 40 years, there have been more than 200 expeditions and investigation teams whose whereabouts are unknown due to entering the sewer for investigation. This huge sewer not only supplies drinking water, industrial water, and green desert water, but is also used for transportation.And the luminous moss "Nalusi" produced by bioengineering is to let them reproduce on the inner wall of this sewer. In this way, the tunnel formed by light and water runs vertically and horizontally through the rock plate, and the speedboat is also speeding through it, splashing water in all directions.There are also curious people who come from the earth specially, wanting to bet on this fantastic scene. ... This sewer became the stage for several fierce guerrilla warfare during the Sai'an Independence War that occurred not long after. ※※※ Then, at the beginning of the story, there is no one else but "Ned the Redhead," that is, Edwin Wood, an obscure, radical young man.He doesn't even have a single subordinate.However, he has a partner.An innocent-looking young man in a cotton shirt is sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons.Ned walked over to the bench as nonchalantly as he could and sat down, not watching as he began to whisper to the young man. "How's the situation?" "So far, lady luck is still on our side." The one talking to Ned was a young man with dark hair who was younger than him.No!It should be said that young people are right.Judging from his appearance, he should be under twenty years old, of medium height, with golden-brown eyes like the hazy morning sun.This handsome young man should be of mixed race like Ned! After hearing this, "Ned the Red Hair" nodded with displeasure and scolded in a low voice. "If you live to be eighty years old, you have already entered the second half of your life, and you still have power and glory, so even if you die, you will have no regrets!" "But he should still feel that he has a lot of regrets! Maybe he wants to live to be a hundred years old, but he may not be sure!" "Perhaps! But there are many unfortunate old people in this world, and it's not fair that he should monopolize his happiness." After Ned finished speaking, unexpectedly, a white-gold light appeared on the right side of his face. An astonishing sound of explosions and blast waves attacked them.People wailed one after another, there was a loud noise on the ground, and the ground was full of hats or notebooks that were blown away by the wind.Ned, clasping his head in his arms, waited until the blast subsided and stood up.However, at this moment, there was a second explosion, and the artificial wind roared again. "Bastard! Too soon!" Ned shouted as if trying to suppress the situation. The black smoke that came out spread to the sky and in all directions at the same time, and the tongue of flame also loomed and licked the buildings near the government office building. Liu Lin shook his black hair. "That's not a government office building, it's a hospital! It's the Central Hospital that was blown up." "What did you say? The hospital was bombed?" "Who did the good thing?" Liu Lin himself gave such a surprising answer in a serious manner without realizing it. Sirens sounded around them.The siren itself has a deterrent and intimidating effect.That's right, it's the public security police!Ned broke out in a cold sweat.At this moment, there was the sound of emergency braking. "Hey! Get in the car, young man!" A man who drove a car equipped with high-performance adjustable drive tires for the convenience of running on desert or gravel roads called them. Although he called these two "young people", in fact he was still very young, and he seemed to be under thirty. "Thank you so much, old man!" Ned jumped into the car as soon as he grabbed Liulin's hand.Before they sat down and the door closed, the car started moving forward. "We probably fell into the trap of the General Public Security Bureau." This man looks very smiling, but maybe he was born with this look. "I guess so! Besides, it's the most despicable trap anyone can agree on." Ned admitted reluctantly.He fidgeted with his red hair anxiously, and turned his head to confirm the situation behind him. "Petrov, you always make all the preparations first. Anyway, I will thank you sooner or later. It is better to hit the sun than choose the day. Thank you today first!" This boy named Petrov responded to the blunt thank you with a smile, and immediately accelerated forward again in order to get rid of the pursuers.At this time, the door of the car that had been open was finally closed, and Ned and Liulin managed to get rid of the fate of being thrown out of the car at any time. If someone is pale because of failure, there must be someone who is intoxicated with joy because of success. On this day, the most proud person in Herabelis is Director Jeberov of the Public Security Police Headquarters.In the dome of the government office building overlooking the panoramic view of the planetary capital, he swelled up like a puffer fish who won a fight. "Hey! Strategy also depends on timing. If you are deceived by such a preliminary approach, it can only be said that the group of radicals are really not hardworking enough." The man standing next to Chairman Dias seemed to use It was as if the needle was going to pierce the belly of the puffer fish, he said unconvinced. This man is the Earth Ambassador residing in Sai'an, called Yeriksun.Nearly 200 centimeters tall, but as thin as a wire, with a flat nose, it seems that there is no majesty or courage at all. "Please don't overdo it, Chairman! Please don't forget that the earth government is a democratic and liberal land." Director of the Public Security Police Jaborov smiled lightly at the ambassador's hypocritical words. "Your Excellency, did we risk our lives to confront those international thugs for the sake of the reputation and interests of the earth? What you just said with a tone of reproach was not only rude, but also It doesn't make any sense." "Director Jeberov, I didn't ask for your opinion, so don't talk too much." After being reprimanded by the old Mr. Dias, Director Jeberov saluted and apologized solemnly, but his eyes flickered with taunting the ambassador.Mr. Dias bowed slightly to the ambassador as an apology. "What the ambassador said is absolutely correct. I will remember this passage in my heart. I assure you that I will definitely submit a report that satisfies you." The arrogant ambassador nodded, and as soon as he walked out, Director Jeborov shrugged his broad shoulders. "What an incompetent ambassador. Although his father is a giant in the political and financial circles, he himself is just an idiot who has been under his father's shadow all the way..." "That's the way it is, Director Jeberoff!" The weird old gentleman laughed weirdly again. "Hehehe!" The laughter was really loud.After showing that contented laugh, the old gentleman stabbed the cane in his hand towards the marble floor. "What we need is his ambassadorship, not him as a person. It's the same as taking him hostage, and that's enough." The old man overlooked the entire city and its surrounding scenery through the transparent walls of the dome.A taupe barren land, naturally surrounded by artificial oases.The dark green safe zone and the white-walled buildings spread like monotonous watercolor paintings drawn by elementary school students.In the eyes of the old man staring at the scenery, it is obvious that he loves and wants to possess this land. "This is my planet. Folks who live a comfortable life on Earth won't understand." As the old gentleman was talking, he suddenly shifted his gaze to his confidant, and stared at him intently. "Jeborov, I am indeed a dog raised by the Earth government. Although I said that what the radicals do is very nasty, but there is another fact hidden here. The dog If he can only be a dog after forty years, he will get tired of his role. So, there may be times when he will bite his master back." After the director of the Public Security Police Department heard what Mr. Dias said, he seemed to feel a little ominous in his heart. "Aren't you bored with your own role?" "What? Your Excellency, what are you talking about?" Old Mr. Dias smiled when he saw Jeborov's flustered expression.This time he just smiled slightly, and didn't make any weird laughter.Raising the cane in his hand, he stabbed the head of the Public Security Police Department in the khaki uniform with the front end of the cane. Jeborov's face contorted for a moment. He didn't expect that an 80-year-old man could still have such strong hands.There was a dull pain in the heart that was stabbed by him. "Your body is really strong. What kind of things are contained in it? Is it loyalty to me? Or those ambitions with a little malice?" The old gentleman's eyes were like the sun of an eclipse, full of a dim light. "Sometimes I want to cut you or other subordinates' bodies open to see. I want to see what you are thinking? Do you really sincerely hope that I will succeed? It is really inconvenient not to see people's hearts! " After moving the crutch away from Jeborov's chest, Mr. Dias' expression became as empty as a stone statue.He swung his cane sideways and ordered Jeborov to step back.After the director of the Public Security Police Department saluted the old gentleman, he went to the elevator. "...a monster!" Jeborov, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead, was talking to himself.In this small voice is full of unconcealable hatred and fear. After talking to himself, Jeborov was startled by his own voice, and immediately looked around.In this elevator, although there is no one else but him, it cannot be ignored because of this.Because there are wiretapping systems installed in various places in Herabelis, and this is what he himself installed in order to visit the citizens.He believed that Diaz must be secretly doing the same to him. After returning to the Public Security Police Headquarters, Jeborov felt a little relieved, and called Superintendent Daniel Gela to come in. If Director Jeboff is the servant of Mr. Dias, then it can also be said that Superintendent Jela is Jebrov's servant.Gera is not a graduate of the University of Blackberry, because he entered a university on Earth as a publicly funded international student when he was a teenager. He holds the title of "Honorary Earth Citizen" and has a degree in administration from Earth's universities.Gera, standing in front of Jaborov, saluted Jaborov formally, but her eyes were as cold as fluorescent lights. "Herberice University is going to be cleaned up! This is an order issued last week, and it has not been changed. Clean it up for me!" Jeborov ordered Gera, and as if to show off his status, put his short legs on the table. ※※※ Ned, who was sitting in the car and continued to dodge the pursuers, held the laser gun tightly in his hand.It was smuggled from the warehouse of the Earth government army.It was medieval, but it cost Ned more than half of his meager salary to get it.He is constantly practicing shooting, but has no actual shooting experience.Maybe there will be a chance for him to perform today. "Let me say something, young man! In fact, from the very beginning, you, the Sai'an Youth Party, did not get the name well." "What's wrong?" "This is an ominous name that has been recorded in history. As long as the group is called the Youth Party, there has never been a successful example in the revolution or the War of Independence." Hearing what he said, Liu Lin scratched his black hair with his fingers as if he had fallen into the abyss of the universe. "Then let us set a historical precedent first! Isn't it that simple? Little Pete." The older man, who was called Little Pete, had always had a nonchalant attitude, but this time finally changed. "Please! Don't call me that? I have a great name, Nikola Petrov, and the Petrov family is a very ancient and rare family on Earth." He said Protested in a very solemn tone. "Huh? Is there such an ancient family line?" "That will go back one billion years from now. We are a prominent family that has never been cut off since there was a little bit of carbon life on the earth." Hearing what he said, Liu Lin smiled, and Ned laughed too.However, the two of them put away their smiles immediately, and shifted their eyes to Petrov in the driver's seat for a while. Although Nikolai Petrov was twenty-seven years old and five years older than Ned, he was Ned's college student.After graduating from high school, Petrov became an employee of a small company, drawing maps or surveying land in the company.I worked for six years just to pay for university tuition.He called himself a "model hardworking student". Petrov is a member of the Central Committee of the Saiyan Youth Party.Compared with the number of party members, the number of members of the Central Committee is already large, so this is not a great position. "In short, this plan will definitely fail. Because no matter how I think about it, I feel that this operation is too flustered, and it is not yet time to carry out terrorist actions. Therefore, don't expect the support of the citizens. From It was too much of a stretch in the beginning.” "Aren't you a member of the Central Committee of the Sai'an Youth Party? If you criticize everyone like this, why did you join the party in the first place?" Petrov answered Ned's question brusquely. "That's because I don't think there is any other party to join." "Hey! Petrov, you..." "That's right, that's the reason. It's amazing! However, according to the current situation, it is necessary to reconsider this point." "What do you mean, little Pate?" "Didn't I warn you not to call me that? That is to say, if there is only one organization that can be relied on, everyone will automatically gather there. The so-called radical mobs of Dias or Jeborov A clan is nothing more than a group of people gathered together. In this way, it is much easier to monitor or manage than if everyone is scattered in various places." Ned thought silently of Petrov's implication.On the verge of an unpleasant conclusion, Petrov changed the subject. "What I was expecting was another hapless man." "Another unlucky man?" "Among those who call themselves the Al-Shabaab, after being defeated or internally divided, they emerge from the ashes and take on the responsibility of the next era." "...how do you say that?" Petrov made a sudden sharp turn, causing Ned and Liulin who were inside the car to almost bounce off the roof.There was the rumble of an explosion from the rear of the car, and an orange glow was seen through the car's rearview mirror.At that time, the car of the public security police who was chasing after him crashed into the old building on the side of the road due to the wrong steering wheel operation, causing loud noise and light. While Liu Lin was muttering to himself, "Namo Amitabha", he drew a cross with his hands.In this day and age, few people realize how inappropriate this is. Turning a corner, the vast gray-brown barren wilderness outside the city was reflected in the windows of the car as it continued to run. In a simple calculation, five billion people can live on the land of Planet Sai'an.However, it is not only land that can live in people, but "water" can make land and people survive. Sai'an Earth Government Water Resources Management Bureau, built as ZWA.In fact, this unit has more power than the Cyian Autonomous Government and is the highest authority on the planet.The earth government monopolizes and controls Sai'an's water source, and then also controls agricultural production and life.Not only are they charging staggeringly high prices for water supplies, but they are also withholding water from farms that cannot grow the produce that the planet's gigantic agribusinesses demand.In addition, ZWA's employees are all from the earth from top to bottom, and everyone fills their own pockets with the amount of water they need.It is the old man Alessandro Dias who organized this ZWA, held power for a long time, and implemented a corrupt and high-pressure policy. With a total of 40,000 students, the University of Hirabalis is the most famous university on this planet.There are 13 departments in the school including literature, science, engineering, medicine, law, economics, agriculture, public health nursing, pharmacy, business, fine arts, education, politics and journalism.And this university is also the people's base against ZWA's arrogance and Diaz's dictatorship.Eighteen professors, teaching assistants, and 840 students were imprisoned for being members of the Dias opposition, and nine of them died under torture. The underground headquarters of the Saiyan Al-Shabaab is also in the university.It should be said that the Saiyan Youth Party is a secret resistance organization organized by current students or graduates, as well as young professors and other related people of the University of Hellas. All they want is for Earth and Saiyan to be on an equal footing, to achieve full independence, and to overthrow Dias' power policy. The painting supplies warehouse in the D campus of the Department of Fine Arts is where the headquarters of the Sai'an Youth Party is located.On the night of September 16, a total of 80 party members, including members of the Central Committee, gathered here. The trio of Ned, Liu Lin and Petrov were also among them, and they cleverly escaped the pursuit of the public security police.At this time, they also participated in the conversations with other party members. "Martial law has been declared in the Herabelis campus. The public security police have also mobilized a large number of people to the streets." "That's for sure! If I were the man-eating tiger Jaborov, I would do the same." Dialogue among party members was remarkably vitriolic.Because everyone was devastated not only by the failure of the plan to assassinate Dias, but also by the arrest or shooting of thirty other party members. "Why did you lose so badly? Did the information leak out?" Ned the Redhead answered the question. "If the information is really leaked, there is only one reason, and that is that the walls have ears." "How could such a thing happen. Although the minions of the public security police are big, they are not sharp at all." "So why did something like this happen?" "..." "However, if it is true that walls have ears, it is only natural that they will end up like this today." The voice was sharper than the others.Yaruman Lipieru, chairman of the Central Committee of the Saiyan Youth Party, frowned his seemingly docile eyebrows. "Hearing what you said, it seems that there is a traitor Luo in our Sai'an Youth Party?" "If you still can't hear the point of what I said, then you'd better see an ENT doctor!" In the life of Ned the Red-haired, there were very few instances in which there were no challenges.At this time, his attitude was the same as usual.He has a handsome face, but also has red hair and black eyes. With this combination of different colors, it is not difficult to see the sense of danger hidden in it. At this time, something like a polished blade mixed into the air in this place. Nikolai Petrov stared at the two, who were bickering and staring at each other, with a relaxed expression as if it had nothing to do with him.Occasionally, I take popcorn out of the paper bag as a snack, and I plan to continue watching the game while eating.From his twenty-seven-year-old perspective, the conversation between the chairman and Ned was like children arguing. The place name of Sai'an was originally the place name of a famous tourist spot on the North American continent.The reason why this planet was named Sai'an was because it was the birthplace of the Minister of Space Development of the Earth Government at that time.By the way: I heard that the officer seems to have even named his English thoroughbred horse Saiyan. The headquarters of the Sai'an Youth Party, which has such a precious name, is now caught in quarrels and disputes.And it was not their personal conscience that quieted the debate, but the ringing of the phone through the dense telephone lines. Chairman Aruman Ribeyer, who put down the phone, lost all color on his face, and Ned almost lost his voice at this moment. "Dias, old Mr. Alessandro Dias..." "do you died?" Several people shouted in unison.Everyone thought, Dias must have been condemned by God, right? However, the Chairman shook his head painfully. "No! It's not what you said." "What's that like?" "Dias he received ZWA." For the next moment, no one reacted.In an instant, the voice of Chairman Aruman Ribeyer entered everyone's right ear and came out directly from the left ear without passing through the brain.The chairman raised his voice again. "Díaz issued a declaration that water resources will be returned to the state. Do you understand this? No, I don't think anyone will understand!" "Dias has declared war on the Earth government." When someone's roar broke the silence, the excited voices of the committee members came out one after another.Really didn't expect things to turn out like this.For a long time, in their inherent concept, they regard the earth government and Dias as their enemies.Now, it is only natural to fall into chaos after hearing this news. "This guy Dias is really funny. We just reprimanded him for being a dog raised by the Earth government, didn't we? But now that guy bit his owner's hand back." Ned made a disgusted expression to show his contempt for Dias, but he grasped the situation correctly. "But isn't this a false alarm, Chairman?" "It shouldn't be wrong. The news will probably be broadcast throughout the planetary land tomorrow morning." Ned nodded frequently, his black eyes glowed like black charcoal in the flames.At this moment, Nikolai Petrov spoke for the first time. "And what about our own choice, Chairman?" "choose?" "That's right! Which side are we going to support? The Earth Government? Or Dias?" Nikolai Petrov's voice and expression remained unchanged, and there was no sign of nervousness at all.It felt like asking what to do with the lunch box for next week's picnic.The chairman who was suddenly asked such a question didn't know how to answer without saying a word.Petrov went on. "You have to see the reality clearly! If you drive away the forces of the Earth government, it will be beneficial to Dias; but if you defeat Dias, you can please the Earth government. Which side should the Youth Party choose?" "This is the so-called self-contradiction! It really taught me a lesson!" Liu Lin nodded as if he had been deeply moved and engraved in his heart. There were about 80 party members who were still commotion there just now, but now there is silence and silence.The facts that Petrov pointed out really puzzled everyone.Because there has always been only one enemy, and now it is split into two.Originally, the Sai'an Youth Party simply set the goal of unity of opposites - freedom and independence, but now it is forced to break down. At this moment someone spoke. "Dias and the earth government bite each other, isn't it the so-called 'crane and clam fight, fisherman wins' to us? Then it is a good thing!" "If only things were that simple..." Petrov replied.At this time, the old-fashioned alarm bells in the population of the headquarters rang. "It's the public security police! Run away!" After a warning, there was another burst of noise and wailing and the banging of doors.Glass was smashed, tear gas was fired, and chaos ensued.The fleeing party members and the public security police who are hot on their heels.There were screams and roars from time to time.Ned stopped his idea of ​​using the laser gun, and even shooting two or three of the police officers was of no avail.At present, the most important thing is to escape here safely.As soon as Ned flew over the table, he ducked and ran away from the scene.At the same time, he was also praying that Petrov and Liu Lin could escape safely like himself. After the smoke from the tear gas cleared, Chairman Ripiero was dragged in front of the Sergeant Gela.Jela glanced indifferently at the bloodied chairman, and quickly scanned his student ID card. "Isn't this a child of the Ribeyer family who is part of the blood of the second and fourth families? He has also become a member of the radical faction that disrupts peace and order. If your father knows it, he must feel very sad!" Under the pressure of Daniyelu Gela's vision, the chairman of the Sai'an Youth Party, Yaruman Lipieru, did not dare to make any voice of resistance. There are many injustices in the planetary society of Seian, which has not yet had much history. ZWA is the most obvious example.However, this is only one of them. The so-called "Second and Fourth Families" are those who annexed the ZWA, the Sai'an Self-Government, and the Earth Embassy, ​​and became the ruling class of Sai'an. Of course, the family with the highest status is the family of Alessandro Dias and his wife, and the second and fourth families were combined because of the marriage relationship between the two parties, and then became a powerful nepotism centered on the wife's family. Formed an exclusive privileged class.Of course, people who belong to the "Second and Fourth Families" all have the title of "Honorary Earth Citizens" and also have the right to vote in various elections and votes on Earth. Among the 65 million people in Sai'an, only 0.2%, about 130,000 people, are honorary earth citizens. At the age of twenty-seven, Sergeant Daniel Gera of the public security police became an honorary citizen of Earth.虽然杰拉表面上没有表现出来，但是他却非常痛恨名誉地球市民这个制度。所以，在杰拉身上感受不到一般人荣获这个称号时应有的喜悦。因为他觉得，这正就像是被地球人说的“你只是穿着人类衣服的猴子呀！”一般。这是对塞安人民的一种轻蔑和嘲笑的证明。 “里彼耶鲁家族呀……里彼耶鲁家族……” 嘴里不停地重复念着这个名字的杰拉，脸上表情却渐渐的浮现出危险的影子。 杰拉想起在十二年前，他到地球大学留学时所发生的事情。这位带着被选中的骄傲去造访地球的年轻人，一到地球，所怀有的梦想和骄傲马上被击溃了。当时，只要说自己是来自塞安，或是属于“新行星群”的人，同学们都会避免和他们交往。一开始想要租房子的时候，却看见公寓前会挂有“拒租给塞安人”的牌子。在那些日子里，还曾被一位男学生嘲讽：“开什么玩笑！千万别把我们跟那种贫穷阶级的人一视同仁。我可是堂堂二四家族的一员，跟那些人是不同人种的喔！” 而这位嘲笑像杰拉那样的公费留学生们的男生，正是过着胜过杰拉他们五十倍富裕生活的私费留学生，他也是姓里彼耶鲁。 当然，现在在杰拉眼前因恐惧和败北感而颤抖不已的年轻人并不是当初那位男生。或许是他的弟弟或堂、表兄弟吧！总之，在塞安行星上，名为里彼耶鲁的家族只有一个。事实上，就算有同姓的家族，也会被施以财力和压力而被迫全部改姓。这就是二四家族所拥有的权利。 亚鲁曼·里彼耶鲁青年能成为“过激派”的委员长，并不是因为他拥有过人的机动谋略或胆量，而是因为他可以负担大部分的活动费用。在这样的组织里，以赞助者的形式当上领导者是常有的事。当然，亚鲁曼·里彼耶鲁本人也一定有着幼稚的正义感，才能当上委员长这个职位吧。 “就让我们在公安警察本部慢慢地问你一些事吧！反正，不用多久，你们那一家族的人，就会派人来要求我们释放你回去。但在那之前，你就好好地遵守这里的法律和秩序吧！” 这位懦弱、胖胖的小白猪，名叫里彼耶鲁的青年，一听完杰拉无意识地用充满残忍的声音所说的话之后，也不自觉地打起哆嗦来了。 ※※※ 接着，塞安青年党的党员们也陆续地被拘留在黑拉伯利斯大学校园内。杰拉下令在这所大学的四个门口派武装警官做戒备，准备将党员们一网打尽。 抓到的党员们都因为被特殊警棒胡乱打了一通，所以满身是血地被押送到车内。为了防止他们逃跑，有人还被刀子割断一只脚的脚跟腱；也有人被警棒的前端刺瞎眼睛。有个“会走路的蛋”的绰号的黑拉伯利斯大学校长威廉姆·迪伯亚，扭动他那矮小圆滚滚的身体，以示抗议公安警察的粗暴行为，但杰拉却仅以“现在是非常时期”一句话便将他压制住。 晚上十点过后，剩下一部分负责监视的警察也全都撤回了。然而，再怎么样严密地搜查也会有疏漏的地方。此时，好不容易躲过被拘留逮捕命运的几个人溜到地面上来了。 当中的一人尼可拉·培特罗夫向将他隐匿起来的一位约十七岁的少女道谢。她是夜间部的学生，在餐厅当服务生打工。她把培特罗夫藏在店内柜台底下后，独自应付了闯进餐厅的公安警察的追问。少女以笑脸回应了培特罗夫的答谢。 “其实你也不用谢我。我也只是因为很讨厌公安警察才这么做的。” “就算是这样，对现在的我而言，你真的是帮了我一个大忙。因为刚才不管是我的生命也好，人权也罢，都面临了最大的危机。” 从尼可拉·培特罗夫的脸上，完全感受不到他有危机意识的表情。他顺势地将双手的手肘放到柜台上后，开口说话了。 “我肚子饿扁了。可不可以给我一份辣浓汤呢？再加上一份奶油烤土司。啊！再来一杯咖啡吧！” 深褐色的中长发和深绿色的双眸。拥有一个漂亮脸蛋的少女虽对培特罗夫稍感到厌烦，但也点点头接受他的点餐。 “没问题，一份辣浓汤是吧？从十一点开始，我们的收费方式就变成深夜计费罗！真会挑时间哪！” ……在同一时间，汗流浃背、满身污垢的迪伯亚校长，还继续地向站在门外监视的公安警察大声地抗议着。此时，从黑暗中出现一位男生抓住他的手腕，并将他拉进校园内。 “跟那些家伙说道理是没有用的啦！校长。啊、不对！应该称呼您为迪伯亚老师才对。” 顶着一头散乱的红发和一个红肿脸颊的年轻人如此说道。迪伯亚校长凶狠地盯着他看。 “你是谁呀？我们学校的毕业生吗？可是，我没有印象有看过你……” “我是去年政治与新闻系的毕业生，爱德文·伍德。曾被老师您当过一次呢！” “喔？真的吗？我可是很少当人的，想必你的上课态度一定恶劣到不行才会被我当掉吧！” “但是，您却在我的毕业考口试的时候救了我呢。托您的福，我现在是赛安青年党的党员。” “是这样的吗？你是不是把我跟哪个人搞错啦？” “咦……？” “如果是我的话，我一定怎么样都不会让你毕业才对吧！可能当时一不小心就输给人情了吧，真是糟糕。” “老师还是一如往常，说话真狠毒。” 奈德微微苦笑后，迪伯亚校长也笑了，还用弄脏了的手帕擦了擦汗。 “说到赛安青年党，是以打倒迪亚斯政权为目标的吧？” "That's right!" “迪亚斯不单单只是拥有权力的老家伙喔！” “我原本以为我知道这一点……” 迪伯亚校长听到这个回答时笑了。 “原本以为？原本以为呀！你大概也已经在社会上学到了一些东西吧。只是还早得很呢！你现在几岁？” “二十二！” “我三十六岁，所以比你更了解迪亚斯。不知道这样说好不好，但讲明了他就是个怪物呀！伍德。” “就是因为这样才非得要打倒他不可，老师。虽然我不知道他是掌握权力的怪物，还是因为掌握了权力才变成怪物的。” “耶，没想到你也懂得说积极励志的话呀！虽然说得还不是很好……不过，话说回来，如果到时不知道该怎么办的时候，会使用武力吗？” 虽然奈德不发一语，但从他的表情就可以知道答案是肯定的。校长耸耸他那肉肉的肩膀。 “武力？真是的！如果真的演变到那个地步还是无法控制整个局势的话，那就真的是太可悲了。法国革命虽是悲剧收场，但要不是经过那场流血之役，就永远拿那个腐败的贵族社会一点办法也没有，不是吗？……喂！” “校长，您好！我是美术系一年级的学生，琉霖。” 和奈德形成对比，身上连一处擦伤都没有的年轻人，从黑暗中走出来，并向校长打了声招呼。奈德没说什么，向同伴点了点头后，突然开始小小声地说话。 “老师，其实我已经想了很久了。如同文字所显示的一样，我们要进行地下之战。在我们脚底下，有一条长长地、长到可从行星到地球的水渠……” 红发奈德——出生于赛安行星、所向无敌的年轻人，用鞋底踩住了大地。迪伯亚校长眯着眼睛打量了一下这位身材高大的奈德。 “嗯，你这小子，是不是又在想什么怪点子了呀？” 当他们来到这间晚上也有营业的餐厅时，一推开门，便看见尼可拉·培特罗夫对他们笑了。 “喂！喂！慢了一分钟耶。从现在开始，在这家店已经是深夜计费的时段了。不过，先坐下来再说吧！有空位喔！” ……西元二五○四年。赛安行星独立战争的第一年。赛安带着和人口数一样多的企图想法，正和地球在同一轨道上转动着。
