005 old lady

[[[cp|w:740|h:412|a:c|u:/chapte/20111/25/]]]] Moreover, Kasanina's explanation made Han Biao dizzy. Before he could figure out what was going on with "Asian American", several new nouns emerged. Han Biao, who was so angry, decided not to ask any more and more nouns that he couldn't understand.

After a long time, Han Biao asked why Kasanina asked herself to call her "mom". After learning the truth, he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Mom, a big shot! Giant Shota, an old dwarf, and a loli... What kind of world is this dog-dream?"

Perhaps it is because of the mixed blood and mutation of genes, or perhaps because of the influence and transformation of the interstellar environment of this era, human genes have undergone significant self-adjustment and evolution. The average life expectancy of ordinary inferior citizens exceeds 300 to 400 years, while the average life expectancy of inferior citizens with relatively more perfect genes reaches 500 to 600 years.

The lifespan of some middle-class citizens and top-class citizens will gradually increase with their genetic level. It is said that many people with noble silver bloodlines will live for thousands of years.

In addition, the genetic technology of this era is very developed. Rich people and nobles can repair the defects in their own genes by purchasing genetic agents and gene re-regulating methods, improve gene levels, and delay cell aging, resulting in a great extension of the overall human life.

Theoretically, the more perfect the genes are, the stronger the cell activity. The evolution of human genes and the existence of various genetic technologies have led to the fact that people’s real age is simply not visible. If you are willing and have enough money, even when you die, how young and beautiful you should be or how young and beautiful you should be. Therefore, in this era, you need to be cautious when picking up girls.

In terms of the current length of human life, the legal age of adulthood is as high as 50 years old. This "adult" age not only includes "physiological adulthood", but also "psychological adulthood". Due to the extension of life span, I don't know any special reasons, which has caused the growth rate of human brain to slightly slow down.

The vast majority of ordinary people will not gradually mature until around the 50th anniversary of the old calendar. The psychological age of "young people" under 50 is similar to that of minors under 16 to 18 in Han Biao's era. It is not that they are "mind-retarded", nor is it ruled out that there are talented children with "premature puberty". It is just that humans in this era maintain "childish innocence" and "naiveness" for a long time.

This leads to Han Biao, who is only 20 years old in genes, at most, even a "child" is not even a "teenager". Kasanlina, who looks like 16 or 7 years old, is already 57 years old this year, and she is just a grown-up. As for peas that look like children, she is already over 100 years old.

Due to metabolism, male teenagers in this era will not grow soft beards until they are 3 or 40 years old. It is not a big deal that Kasanina and Pea would regard Han Biao, who was only 20 years old, as an adult.

By Han Biao's standards of that era, 57-year-old Kassanlina, let alone letting Han Biao call her "mother", would be qualified even if she called him "grandma".

Han Biao discovered tragically that he had finally grown up and was about to reach the age of marriage, so he returned to childhood, but he ended his adolescence early.

An old master who is only 20 years old and "abundant"?

This matter was so terrible. The sky thunder almost struck him over. According to this calculation, when he "adulted", I don't know if he still has the ability to pass on his family for the Han family.

Because Kasanina and Pea are both mutant people with genetic mutation blood, they cannot use the standards of citizens of this era to estimate their lifespan. However, the shortest-lived mutant lives for about 200 years, like playing. In this regard, Kasanina, who has just grown up and Pea who has just entered his prime, expressed no psychological pressure.

Han Biao, who is only 20 years old and is far from the legal age of adulthood, now he doesn’t have to worry about his identity. “Minors” under 50 years old do not have social rights at all, so naturally they do not have identity authority. In layman’s terms, it’s not time for him to get his “identity card”!

When Han Biao was hit hard and muttered to Kasanina why Han Biao was so "old" and "small" at the age of "small", their destination City G finally arrived.

City g is not a city, but planet γ-44, the ecological circle base of D.87, and the trading market in area g, covering a very wide area. As long as you want and have money, you can buy almost everything here.

The nature of G City is very special. It is very similar to the flea market or small commodity distribution market in the Han Biao era. It is a place where all inferior citizens in the D.87 ecosystem base can buy, sell and shop.

As an area that can provide a large amount of commercial taxes, the public security here is officially protected by the D.87 base. In terms of security, it is much safer than other areas in District G. As for whether you will be robbed after you buy something and leave City G, it has nothing to do with the base patrols responsible for City G. The security guards are responsible for City G.

Han Biao and his flying motorcycles may have similar status to the tractors of his era. They are not allowed to travel in middle, upper and higher waterways, and can only fly in low-altitude waterways close to the ground.

However, the place where Kassan's "mother" planned to go was not in the middle and upper waterway. Not long after entering City G, she stopped in a dirty and messy commercial area with a light that was far less bright than that of the middle and upper waterways.

It is obviously not the first time Kasan and Pea came to this commercial area. After parking their cars in the "parking lot", they quickly dragged four magnetic levitation trolleys from nearby. Han Biao and Ju Gou came in handy to help bring the heavy metal parts to the trolley one by one to the trolley.

This kind of metal plate truck that looks like a supermarket staff and uses when transporting internal goods is provided to customers for free by the market. It looks similar in shape, but it has no wheels and is suspended by magnetic force one foot above the ground. It does not require any effort to easily push the heavy objects loaded with a ton of weight everywhere.

Although Cassan's "exoskeleton assisted loading arm" is much more effective than manpower, that thing needs to consume energy after all. The cost of charging the energy module of the flying motorcycle is not cheap, so the environmental protection and energy savings come from manpower.

Besides, although Han Biao and Giant Dog are still "children", they cannot compare normal people with them who are "mutants". In this "free paradise" that is said to have no laws, no one will accuse them of using "child labor".

The area of ​​this commercial area is not very large, which is the size of two stadiums. It is located at the bottom of the entire G city. Like some other commercial areas selling different types of goods, each store of different sizes sells metal parts of various unknown uses, probably in hardware stores.

In addition, there are also large assembly workshops here that are very similar to Casanina's small "repair factory". They look like repairing some large machines. Han Biao also saw a 5-meter-high machine at the door of an assembly workshop, which can be used in it. It looks a bit like a robot, or mecha equipment. It should be the same kind of construction machinery as Casanina's "exoskeleton auxiliary loading arm", similar to the cranes, forklifts, and cranes of the Han Biao era.

In addition, Han Biao also saw many people sitting in the shell of the "robot", controlling the huge human-shaped machinery and walking around busyly. Some were staff members of City G, and some were customers coming to repair or shop.

There are some messy grounds where large and strangely-shaped discarded parts are everywhere, and they are obviously abandoned by some people who have purchased replacement products, which makes the magnetic levitation trolleys only one foot away from the ground have to circumvent them.

We can't blame the poor environmental sanitation here. Firstly, the traffic of people is large, and secondly, the commercial area at the bottom is usually faced with inferior citizens and mutant customers. Those senior executives responsible for managing the market do not have so much thought to provide a good shopping environment for these lowly and inferior people.

Han Biao vaguely learned from Kasanina's words that in the D.87 ecosystem base, even the entire γ-44 planet, the entire chaotic star domain, and the entire interstellar human civilization, benign mutants like them all belong to the lowest level of society and are even more humble and inferior than inferior citizens.

Even inferior citizens with genetic mixed races of more than 100 generations, at least they still retain their citizenship status. Their benign mutants have no social rights and interests. They are isolated groups excluded from the social system and are regarded as monsters and mixed species. In addition to being restricted from freedom and being hung on slaves, their social status is no higher than that of the Han Biao era and when racial discrimination is more serious.

In this case, although the Pan-Star Domain Joint Governor General, the Star Alliance Parliament, recognizes benign mutant humans as people of interstellar human civilization and allows them to live in the entire civilization system, it is obvious that they cannot obtain their due social status and good and stable job opportunities.

In order to support themselves, benign mutants often have to take risks and work hard for certain forces to make ends meet. They are engaged in extremely high-risk or "unjust" professions, resulting in the term "mutant" being associated with negative terms such as death, crime, blood and violence. Even inferior citizens whose social status is less than mutant is less than that of mutants, hate, discriminate, exclude, and hate mutants.

The so-called "mutant" is actually a human whose genetic material is incomplete, or whose genetic material is infected or destroyed by radiation, pollution sources, or whose genetic structure has been infected or destroyed by the external space, causing the cells to mutate.

This uncontrollable genetic mutation makes their appearance or ability look a little different from that of normal people, either ugly or strange. Its characteristics are mainly classified as tall or short, ugly or alternative appearance, local limbs or organs deformed and weird, etc.

It is obvious that weak mutants like Kasanina and Pea, who are not physically mutated and have no power mutants, are unlikely to betray people like giant dogs, who rely on selling their lives to obtain life-saving supplies, so they can only stay in Area G and open a simple private repair station, relying on repairing flying motorcycles for people and repairing various simple mechanical equipment to live.

In my spare time, I go to the garbage mountains to buy some damaged equipment parts and recyclable metal materials. After taking them home and repair them, I send them to G City to sell them to second-hand parts dealers in exchange for some base credit points for purchasing food.

Han Biao pushed a magnetic levitation trolley full of parts and followed Kasan and the others, like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously. 100 meters above this commercial area, through a transparent aerial platform, you can see a large number of aircraft and pedestrians coming and going, which is very lively and prosperous.

In order to attract high-genetic citizens living in the inner ring of the base, the high-altitude boutique commercial area built is a difference between heaven and earth compared to the lower commercial area. Not only is it clean and tidy, but the sales are also some more refined, more upscale and more advanced products.

Unfortunately, mutants and inferior citizens are not allowed to enter high-rise shopping areas. Those citizens with high genetic levels want to come down but do not have that restriction. They are just responsible for their personal and property safety.

This is where the "race class" of this era is located. People with low identities can only be trampled by others and can never look up. They are not allowed to drive in the middle and upper waterways when driving. When there are disputes and conflicts with others, they must take responsibility unconditionally. Even if they walk, if they encounter people with higher social status coming towards them, they have to give in to the roadside and let others go first.

Feeling humiliated?

The reputation of the mutant people who are forced by life to be linked to terms such as "death, crime, blood and violence" makes the management agencies very regulate them. Once problems arise, they are the only ones who suffer. If they still want to live in the base without being expelled, they must accept this humiliation.

The management agencies at the top of the base are also very troubled by the problems of race. In order to reduce conflicts and troubles, they simply formulate such regional regulations to isolate the ethnic groups of people with different identities as much as possible to reduce the chance of conflicts.

"Hambio! What are you doing? Come here!"

The greetings of Kasan Linna not far away made Han Biao, who was stunned, come to his senses. Kasan and the others had already stopped in front of a "hardware shop" and quickly pushed the magnetic levitation trolley and ran over.

As soon as he approached, Han Biao saw the owner of the store. Looking at the pile of fragments piled up next to his store, he said to Kasanina with a headache: "Mutual girl, I have told you several times that the parts you have already eliminated have been out of place with the current machine model. They have no value at all and cannot be sold! Although I am a second-hand dealer, I am not a rag…"

"Please! Boss, please accept it? Maybe there will be some equipment that customers have discontinued production and will need these out-of-print parts? I also want to buy food for the children!" Kasanina begged with her hands clasped.

"I have the time to sell these rags to customers. It's better to make a profit if I sell something casually... Okay, okay, I'm unlucky. Don't come back in the future. Although I sympathize with you very much, I'm not a branch of a welfare institution and don't have that much money to help you. I'll give you 75 together... No, 70 bases will be credited!"

The boss, who was just a low-class citizen, took a rough look at the old parts shipped by Han Biao and the others, and gave a price that was not very high.

Han Biao was a little shocked. Although he didn't know how much the so-called "credit point" was purchased, but in front of the old ghost, the giant dog was unloaded with 3 cars, and it weighed several tons. It could only be sold for 70 credit points. It was completely inconsistent with the energy invested in Kasanina who needed to go to the garbage mountain to search for it. After getting it back, it also needed to clean and repair it, and then transport it to G City to sell it.

In this era, the daily salary that a lower-class citizen in the blue-collar class can earn per day depends on the genetic level, and the average credit points ranges from 100 to 500. However, inferior citizens cannot have so much income. At most, it is around 1/3 to 1/4 of lower-class citizens, which is about 20 to 100 credit points.

"There are only 70 credit points for so many parts? You are a profiteer!"

The pea almost jumped up and screamed, "You guy with a rotten conscience! You can sell these parts at least 500 credit points!"

The boss glared at the pea, which was only tall at his waist: "Shut up! You don't have long legs! All of you are repaired by scraps! Not even second-hand goods. A replacement of the same eliminated parts can be sold for 50 credit points. You repaired scraps can only be sold for 5 credit points at most!

Besides, my shop doesn’t have to pay rent? I don’t have to pay transaction tax? My workers don’t have to pay salaries? I don’t have to buy equipment? I’m a prodigal businessman? Don’t forget that except for me, a fool, I will sympathize with you damn mutants. If you pay for the rags you picked up by yourself, no one will ask for these garbage at all!”

Pea choked, blinked her eyes for a long time after opening her mouth, and could only wilt, muttering, "The profitable businessman..."

"Okay, 70 credit points are enough... "

Kasanina accepted the price helplessly. She accidentally saw Han Biao standing behind her with the last car of parts, grabbed the boss and pulled him in front of Han Biao: "Old ghost, look at these, these are all good things, but selling materials can also be worth a lot of credit, right?"

As she said that, she uncovered the linoleum wrapped in some parts piled on the trolley that Han Biao was pushing, revealing a silver metal component. Han Biao was stunned when he saw this thing, and looked familiar, as if he had seen something similar there.

"What is this? It looks so good..."

The boss flipped the parts suspiciously: "It is neither the outer armor plate of mechanical armor nor the plastic steel shell of construction machinery..." He took out a palm-sized detection instrument, and scratched and sensed the silver component for a long time, but in the end he still shook his head inconsistency.

"I don't know what material it is, it has high hardness and may also have thermal insulation. It is neither a part nor an instrument. It looks like a shell of some kind of armor... But I'm sure that in my impression, no equipment can match these things..."

The boss put away the testing instrument and said regretfully: "I can't use this thing, you can take it back. Or find other stores selling metal materials to ask if they charge it."

As a cunning businessman and specializing in second-hand spare parts, the boss is familiar with almost all the construction machinery and equipment on the market so well that he can tell what model it is by just looking at the nut. He can't even recognize it, which proves that this thing is indeed rare.

However, as a businessman rather than a collector, no matter how rare a product is, it is worthless if it cannot be sold. In addition, he runs the parts industry. Although he doesn't know what these things are, according to his experience, at most they are the shells of some kind of machine. Compared with parts with higher value, the value of the plug-in armor plate is much lower. The boss who does not run this project will not dare to spend money to buy things that cannot be sold.

"What I found in the garbage area of ​​Area G, maybe it was some kind of combat armor plug-in armor plate..." Seeing that the boss refused to accept it, Kasanina was very disappointed.

Lao Gui's eyes lit up, and he looked through it carefully again. He even took apart some other parts wrapped in linoleum and looked at it, but he said in confusion: "No! There are no models of human-shaped machinery or combat armor that use these armor plates. At least there are none of the civilian models I know, unless it is military human-shaped machinery... So, I will add 5 more credit points to you, and you can leave these things."

Although it is impossible to determine the model of these armor plates, their material is indeed very rare. If it is a military human-shaped machinery or a shell on combat armor, someone may be willing to buy it and install it on their own machinery after modification, because military things often represent durability and sturdiness.

"Only 5 credit points? We won't sell it anymore! This guy is a profiteer!" Pea jumped onto the trolley in anger and covered the linoleum.

"Military armor plate? Get out of the way!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly penetrated in. At the same time, the petite Kasanlina was suddenly hit by someone, and she screamed, stumbled out several steps, and fell heavily to the ground!

"Casan!"

"Mom Kassan!"
