Chapter 1657: Prelude to change

The morning of June 29, 2276
Along with a violent roar, a metal gate collapsed, and smoke drifted in.
An old woman was sitting at the desk. She quietly watched the young people rushing into the room, showing a helpless smile.
"Ms. Martha, I'm sorry we used this rude way, but from now on, Base 51 will be taken over by our changemakers!"
Martha quietly looked at a man headed by him. He used to be a member of Parliament before, but because of some problems, he lost his position as a member of Parliament and disappeared for many years.
"Do you really think you can control everything?"
The man tore off the veil and looked ashamed. They had just experienced a battle and they won easily.
"The water supply system in the Eastern District has been damaged for six years. They have waited for six years, but there are still no technical maintenance personnel to solve the problem. Many people can’t eat enough, and some children are extremely malnourished. Ms. Martha, you said that it’s slow. Slow will get better, but unfortunately, they can't wait."
Masha stared at the young man with a solemn expression.
"Taking everything this way? Do you think people will accept you?"
The man shook his head.
"Without accepting or not accepting, we will soon establish a country, with 70 bases connected, and a powerful country will be born."
Martha quietly lowered her head, looking at some old office appliances on the desk, she felt very tired, and the members who visited the 66 Mars base before got a mechanical core that was not on the list of aid transactions. Component, Martha directly investigated when she felt confused.
As a result, the matter was revealed and they were arrested. In this public-owned society, such behavior is not allowed. They also admitted their crimes, and finally pushed everything to an executive at Mars Base 66. Member Ike.
Martha knows that he is Gable's son, and she has served as the head of three bases. Gable has helped them on Mars Base 51 many times over the years.
Martha wanted to investigate clearly and put all her energy on these dereliction of duty, but now Martha realized that all of this was originally a plan to initiate change.
"Ms. Martha, you can leave. Starting today, you are no longer the base chief here, and we will not do anything to you. We are looking for change, not violence. Please forgive us for being rude before. behavior."
The man said and bowed slightly, and Martha laughed.
"We are old and you are still young, maybe this is the difference, it's just that! Young people, I hope you remember one thing, what awaits you in the future will be a far more cruel, even hell-like society than now. "
Martha stood up and glanced at the pen on the table. After she picked it up and put it in her pocket, she walked slowly. The people at the door spread out to the sides. On the long corridor, is there any There are fewer injured people and the bodies of the guards.
Some injured people are being treated. Masha is very tired. She can probably guess that most of the other bases are similar to here, and all means of communication should have been temporarily destroyed.
"Ms. Martha, can I ask you a question?"
At this moment the man stopped Martha, she turned her head and nodded.
"The cruel society you mentioned, we can imagine, but now? Now this kind of tepid society, on the surface harmonious, but secretly allows everyone to live in a vain society, is it not What?"
The corners of Martha's eyes twitched slightly, and she did not answer the question because she did not know how to answer.
In Martha's view, everything that exists is not too bad or too good.
"Everyone can't find a direction. The era when everyone can contribute a little to support a society is over, because a little contribution from everyone is not enough for society to continue to support it."
The man said that he turned around and walked into the office, looking at the streets outside, where there was still black smoke in many places. In this operation, many people died. All this is worthwhile for the man. Because a brand new society is about to begin.
The man glanced at Martha again. These products of the previous era that still maintained the concept of joint production in the past have come to an end.
"You don't need to look back at the past, just face the future, no matter what the future is like."
8:29
Ike was eating breakfast quietly, and there was an inexplicable sense of anxiety in his heart. Everything was the same as usual, with regular and accurate work and rest times every day.
At 30 minutes, Ike put down the spoon in his hand and sorted the dishes. He vaguely felt something, but Ike didn't plan to think about anything. Now Ike feels very uncomfortable. .
It was already the third day, but his father did not make a statement. This made it difficult for Ike to accept. It was obvious that he really didn't do anything, and his father didn't even make a phone call.
This has been the case for my father since childhood. My mother died very early. Ike and his brother became independent very early. My father has been busy with the construction of the base for many years. It is rare for the two brothers to ask questions. My life is very plain and boring, even with some chills.
"Is it still the same as before!"
Crunch
The door of the cell was opened, and Ike looked at his father who walked in in astonishment. Then the cell was closed, and the doubt immediately climbed onto Ike's cheek.
"I was arrested on suspicion of secretly trading secretly."
"what!"
Ike stood up in disbelief.
"how come........."
"Sit down, Ike, first listen to me and finish. When we walked out from here, the sky had changed outside."
Ike became more puzzled.
"I'm sorry, I actually should have come when you were arrested."
Ike turned his head a little unexpectedly. He didn't know what was going on with his father. It was not the same in normal days, as if he was more energetic than normal.
"We haven't talked about something for a long time, Ike, let's talk!"
Although Ike hesitated, he nodded.
"Well, I haven't talked about anything for a long time!"
Gable smiled relaxedly and looked at the son in front of him. He talked about some happy things at home in the past, and Ike also said happily.
The father and son talked like this until lunch, when Gable's conversation turned, showing a serious expression.
"Ike, listen carefully. If you want to pursue something or achieve something, when you walk out from here, don't think about anything, don't remember anything, seize the opportunity, and do what you want thing!"
