Chapter 619 A single spark ignites a prairie fire
Chapter 619: Sparks Spread Across the Prairie (I)
Song Yang is a native of Earth and comes from an ordinary family. After graduating from the National University of Defense Technology, he was selected into the Space Army and stationed on Yuanchu Star as a communications soldier.
Due to the lack of quantum communication technology, communication between planets in the interstellar era has to rely on the “relatively primitive” postal method, using spacecraft as the carrier for delivery.
This requires that communications soldiers not only master the basic skills in the field of information communication, but also have proficient spacecraft driving skills and even the skills to fly spacecraft in air combat. After all, soldiers are always prepared for war.
The skills he had learned allowed Song Yang to escape the snare set by the noble family, giving him some time to prepare.
“Old Song, why did you call me here in such a hurry? And you used an unfamiliar number. If I wasn’t familiar with your voice, I would have thought I was a scammer.”
Yang Jun is a firefighter who retired from the army and is currently the station chief of a fire station in a district of Yangcheng. He was once a classmate of Song Yang.
Don’t underestimate the firefighting and rescue missions in the interstellar era. With the development of science and technology, people’s lives have become much more convenient, but the dangers they encounter are also constantly escalating.
In the past, traffic accidents mostly occurred on the road, under bridges, or in the water. In the most outrageous cases, cars would crash into buildings or onto tree branches. Since the advent of flying cars, you can never guess where human cars will appear.
Human vehicles for field warfare may appear in deep mountains and forests, deep canyons and ravines, ocean ice sheets, and even in volcanic lava.
Not to mention that if an accident occurs on a huge spacecraft, at least thousands of passengers on board will be affected. If it loses control and crashes in the city, half of the city will be affected.
Without some high-tech equipment, what can we use for rescue?
If you want to operate these devices proficiently, is it possible without some knowledge?
It is not surprising that top students from the National University of Defense Technology appear in the field of firefighting.
“I…” Song Yang hesitated for a moment, undecided: “I don’t know whether I should tell you.”
Song Yang detached from the communication spacecraft in an escape pod and landed on the Pacific Ocean. He then drove the escape pod with an independent power source to sneak onto the land, intending to find a way to make the news on Yuanchu Star public.
From the situation on Yuanchu Star, it can be concluded that the channels within the system are simply blocked. Song Yang can only find a way to mobilize the people and try to set off a spontaneous wave of redemption among the masses.
The first helpers Song Yang chose were his former comrades-in-arms and classmates, especially those fighting on the front lines of firefighting, border defense, and drug control. These people are always facing the danger of sacrifice but are still willing to stick to their posts. They understand the importance of fairness and justice better than other professions, and are mentally prepared for such a heavy topic as sacrifice.
They were currently at a town market on the outskirts of Yangcheng.
Since the beginning of the interstellar age eighty years ago, urbanization on Earth has almost come to a halt.
The newly developed planet is like a blank sheet of paper. Urban construction is carried out on a large scale and all kinds of advanced design concepts can be freely used.
However, cities on Earth have various legacy issues and cannot undergo drastic reconstruction. They can only rely on the convenience of population reduction to gradually transform into garden cities, isolate polluting factories and mines, and optimize the living environment.
As the urbanization process has almost stagnated, the urban area on the earth has not increased much, and the urban and rural layout of the last century is still retained. The only difference is that the infrastructure of cities and towns has been upgraded and the hardware level has been improved.
Song Yang is currently a wanted criminal and dares not appear in urban areas with heavy surveillance, so he can only stay in towns and villages.
“Stop wasting time. If you have something to say, just tell me now. If you have really done something illegal, I will take you to turn yourself in. If you want to borrow money, it will only take a word!”
Yang Jun knew Song Yang’s abilities and character. Seeing him like this, he had a feeling that he was in big trouble.
However, his imagination was still a little lacking after all.
“There is a biological laboratory called ‘Spark’ on Yuanchu Star. It is owned by the Lin Group. They have developed a genetic modification drug that can greatly improve human body functions and even extend human lifespan.”
Song Yang spoke urgently and Yang Jun was stunned.
“Currently, this laboratory has been jointly controlled by the noble families headed by the Tang family. This medicine is also in their hands. Our battalion commander and seven comrades risked being punished or even secretly executed to cover for me to pass the news back to Earth…”
Yang Jun’s mouth was dry. These few short sentences were even more terrifying than his previous experiences in and out of the sea of fire!
“You…” Yang Jun felt like he was about to cry: “Tell me quickly, we were just telling stories.”
“I don’t ask you to do anything, I just hope you can remember this information. If you still have the courage, then find a way to spread this information so that more people will know about it.”
After saying these words in a hurry, Song Yang turned and left.
Now he doesn’t dare to trust anyone and doesn’t want to test human nature.
“I…” Yang Jun suddenly shouted, “How can I contact you?”
“You don’t have to contact me. If you are determined, then find a way to spread the information!”
Song Yang waved, leaving only his back.
Yang Jun stood there for a long time without saying anything. He understood why the other party was so cautious.
Because the head of the Tang family is named Tang Zhen, who is one of the seven masters.
The mere presence of Tang Zhen blocked Song Yang’s way of solving the problem through internal channels.
What’s more, this is an elixir of immortality. How many elderly masters can withstand such a test? Song Yang continued to look for the next trustworthy target. Before the noble family tore off the fig leaf and publicly wanted him, he was still a soldier of the Heavenly Army with a bright future. It was highly unlikely that his classmates and comrades who didn’t know the inside story would set a trap for him right away.
But when Song Yang told the other party the news, it was hard to say.
There is always someone in this world who wants to be the boss.
Meng Haoyu is such a person.
He used to be a risk-taking anti-drug police officer, fighting on the front line in the border town. However, during one operation, he found the stolen money alone when there were no companions around him, and the drug dealers had all been shot dead. Greed suddenly took over his mind, and he somehow hid a bag of the stolen money. He was worried for many days afterwards, but luckily he was not discovered.
From then on, it was as if Pandora’s box had been opened and things were out of control.
Even the colleagues around him didn’t notice Meng Haoyu’s behavior, let alone Song Yang, who he hadn’t contacted for many years?
“Old Song, don’t worry, I will find a way to spread this information!” Meng Haoyu patted his chest and agreed after listening to Song Yang’s story.
“Leave me some useful contact information, and we can discuss it together later.”
Song Yang had already learned a lot of skills, and after he decided to do this, he was even more cautious at all times. When he heard what Meng Haoyu said, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
“No, if you are willing, just do it yourself.”
After saying that, he turned and left as usual.
However, before he had walked far, he discovered that someone was following him. It was Meng Haoyu.
In desperation, he could only speed up and escape.
He couldn’t fight back, even though he was carrying advanced weapons equipped by the interstellar forces, which were enough to kill Meng Haoyu in seconds.
If he dared to hurt anyone, the noble families would have a legitimate excuse to arrest him, instead of having to hide the truth as they do now.
What the noble families fear most is the leakage of information. Since the system has not changed, these noble families cannot be as unscrupulous as the American capital consortium and have to be more or less concerned about this fig leaf.
This is also the reason why the noble families are trying every means to poach talents and promote selfishness. They want to break the current shackles and become a family that has money, power, and controls the armed forces like the American consortium.
It would be better to let the peasants also believe in the “blood aristocracy theory” and be willing to be slaves for generations to come.
If a “caste system” could develop, I would wake up laughing in my dreams!
And the most crucial point is that once Song Yang becomes a wanted murderer, his former classmates and comrades will naturally doubt him, and what he says may not be credible.
Of course, this stalemate will not last too long. If the noble family fails to find him after a few days, they will definitely fabricate a case to frame him.
So Song Yang really doesn’t have much time left, and he must convey the message to more people as quickly as possible.
In the midst of great changes, we will always find people who are willing to uphold justice, and those one or several people will become new “sparks”.
“It seems that we can no longer be selective. We can only find a crowded place and spread out all at once…”
After discovering Meng Haoyu’s tracking, Song Yang realized that this “point-to-point” disclosure method was no longer advisable. The noble families would definitely come looking for him immediately, so he had to make the most of his last value.
The reason why this was not done at the beginning was that such public exposure would likely trigger a fierce backlash from the noble families.
One flying truck can destroy a square.
In order to cover up this secret, would a noble family be reluctant to give up a truck?
Moreover, the method is difficult to grasp. Electronic screens and communication equipment will be monitored by artificial intelligence in the first time, so he can only use primitive methods.
“What did you say? Did you find the trace of that soldier?” Tang Xinrong showed a surprised expression: “Good, very good! Send someone to control him immediately!”
“Second Young Master, the informant is a drug enforcement officer in Border Town. He said that Song Yang told him some things about Yuanchu Star and seemed to want to seek a background.”
Qiu Hao, the trusted bodyguard of the second young master of the Tang family, has arrived on Earth on a spaceship.
Tang Xinrong frowned, feeling unhappy, but waved his hand and said, “Give him a chance to be a dog, and then let him do dangerous things. If he survives, we can talk about other things.”
How dare you threaten me!
Can the second young master of the Tang family bear such injustice?
If it weren’t for the fact that he needed to spend a fortune to buy horse bones, the Second Young Master would have immediately let this guy work as a consumable in the laboratory!
After receiving the news, the Tang family quickly rushed to the border town on the southern border. However, Song Yang had already driven a flying car to Shencheng on the coast of the East China Sea, intending to complete his final bloom here.
At the same time, Yang Jun, who had been tossing and turning all night, finally made up his mind to make public what happened on Yuanchu Star in Yangcheng.
Not only him, Song Yang’s other comrade Zhang Bin also decided to take action in Huacheng.
This is a spontaneous struggle.
