Chapter 2639 Mayfly World (Thirteen)
Chapter 2613 Mayfly World (13)
The sun was still scorching hot in Mexico in October. The first thing Schiller did when he got off the plane was to quickly put on the souvenir sun hat Clark bought him. It took him a long time to adapt to the terrible ultraviolet rays and overly bright everything. Now he knew how to be arrogant. Why would you rather use remote control than go here? This place can only be Superman's happy home, and Batman will be fucked like a bat even if he comes here.
As soon as I stepped out of the airport gate in Mexico City, a wave of heat hit my face, and the ripples in the air were clearly visible in my field of vision.
Schiller's first stop was the Great Pyramid of the Aztecs, which is the most complete relic of the Aztec civilization in the world and the largest pyramid in the world. It was once considered an alien relic.
Martin followed behind Schiller, as if he missed the climate of his hometown very much. He had slippers on his feet, a cattail leaf fan in his hand, and a big hat that was a little bigger than Schiller's hat. He wore a suit with cartoons printed on it. Graphic t-shirt.
When Schiller walked out and took a look, he found that most of them were dressed like Martin, with short sleeves, big pants, slippers and a sun hat.
Although Schiller also wore short sleeves, he wore sun protection sleeves, long pants, and sneakers. More importantly, he wore a fancy souvenir hat on the top of his head. He is a tourist who took advantage of him.
Sure enough, the driver of the black car at the door greeted him very enthusiastically, speaking babbling Spanish with a very thick accent that Schiller couldn't understand at all.
At this time, Martin came up and shouted a few words to several drivers. Schiller could probably understand some numbers. They seemed to be bargaining.
At this time, a dark and strong driver came up to talk to Martin. Schiller could tell that their accents were somewhat similar. It seemed that both of them were from the South. After a while, Martin waved to Schiller. Said: "Let's go to the hotel first."
Schiller said nothing and carried his luggage to the car. Martin was chatting with his fellow countryman along the way, and the driver would look back at Schiller from time to time.
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, but because it had been parked in the sun for too long, all the parts were very hot, so the car was still a little stuffy. The driver turned on the radio and tuned to the music channel, and cheerful Spanish music came from inside. Minor tone.
The construction of Mexico City retains a lot of its original flavor, with almost no modern transformation. You can see a lot of Baroque buildings and traditional Mexican houses. The city is neat, clean and atmospheric, and you don't even see many homeless people like you can see in New York. .
Martin was obviously very proud. He said: "All ancient peoples in this world are proud. We also pursue a stable enough lifestyle and the connection between community and family. We will help each other and support each other."
"We regard it as a shame that there are destitute people in this society. The government and community managers will try their best to help some homeless people, but they are not bankrupt. Most of them have congenital diseases. There are dedicated shelters and welfare homes to help them.”
Schiller nodded. He knew that many people had stereotypes about Mexico, thinking that all of them lived in slums, were poor and chaotic.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mexico is a little transparent in international news. It is rare to hear about any turmoil happening here, and there are few reports of economic collapse. The most common words are about the US-Mexico border. Little is known about the more than 100 million people who live here.
In fact, this is mainly because the situation in Mexico is very stable and the people's lives are calm. After all, only 100 million people can be supported on a land of nearly 2 million square kilometers, and the available arable land for such a large piece of land is ridiculously large. If a person cultivates a piece of land so that he cannot starve to death, more than half of it will be left.
The vast majority of the population here is engaged in agricultural production, growing corn and beans. Coffee, the remaining small part is engaged in handicrafts, making pottery, lacquerware, carving wood carvings, and weaving gold and silver.
It is indeed difficult for this kind of industrial structure to have big ups and downs in terms of economy, and in terms of politics, as the back garden of the United States, it is certainly impossible for the United States to make this place peaceful. But the problem is that during the US-Mexico War, they were too harsh and let the Mexicans Completely united.
It is also a lengthy history of colonization in modern times, and it is also a war in which the country was lost. However, this country did not have the right time, location, and people, so it naturally lost completely.
Mexico is similar to China, which lost the Anti-Japanese War. Countless good lands were plundered, and it continues to be oppressed and invaded by the United States, which has transferred countless criminal industries here.
Mexico also has an ancient history of civilization, and the vast majority of people here are descendants of Indians. This nation, like most ancient nations in the world, attaches great importance to land and blood, and naturally cannot bear such humiliation.
According to statistics, the country with the least favorable opinion of the United States in the world is not even Japan, which dropped the atomic bomb, but Mexico. It cannot even be said that it has no favorable opinion, but naked hatred.
American revanchists like Gallardo are the overwhelming majority here. They blame all the problems that Mexico has on the United States, but the vast majority of hatred has no strength to back it up and is just a joke.
After the advent of the era of space exploration, the United States became stronger and stronger, further controlling almost the entire Americas. Mexico had no ability to resist. People could only watch more and more companies with English words opened up and more and more English-speaking people came here.
The driver obviously regarded Schiller as one of them. His eyes were full of the vigilance unique to locals, but he looked at him carefully. They knew that the scholars and technicians who came here recently were not something ordinary people could afford to offend.
Soon they arrived at the hotel. Schiller got off the car and saw a brand new building next to the hotel. Martin said: "This is the newest logistics center, which is mainly engaged in corn processing, product packaging and export business. It was built two months ago. The driver's family works here."
Schiller nodded and walked into the hotel. As soon as he walked up the stairs, he saw a group of unexpected people-the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Magneto rarely wore his black clothes and helmet. His silver hair was neatly combed behind his head. He wore a straight suit and glasses. He looked like a respected scholar.
A strange blonde woman followed him. Schiller saw that it was Mystique. It was strange. She was not the queen of the Shi'ar Empire. Why did she come back?
The few people behind him were also familiar faces. They were the configuration of the traditional Brotherhood of Mutants. However, Polaris was not there, and Scarlet Witch and Jarvis were also nowhere to be seen. Why did they go to Mexico?
At this time, Magneto had already seen Schiller. He was also a little surprised, but he quickly restrained his emotions and walked up to Schiller and shook hands.
Schiller finished the hotel registration and did not go to the room immediately. Instead, he followed Magneto out of the hotel. Mystique took the car keys to drive, and Magneto and Schiller found the nearest coffee shop to sit down.
"What's wrong? Eric, why are you in Mexico? How is the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"That's why I'm here." Magneto answered concisely: "There is a food crisis in the Andromeda Galaxy."
Then, with Magneto's introduction, Schiller understood what happened in the Andromeda Galaxy during this period.
After the initial development of the Andromeda Galaxy was completed, the first phase of immigration began. However, the so-called immigration did not bring all mutants over. It mainly selected mutants who had special roles in construction and production.
There were not many such people, and most of them were concentrated in China. The Eastern country had gathered countless construction talents in the decades since its founding. Even if it tightened its belt, it had to offer extremely high conditions to recruit these mutants with special abilities in production and construction.
As early as the last century, when mutants were still severely persecuted, China became the last utopia for mutants. Many mutants did not even ask for compensation and worked for free to seek refuge here.
At that time, European and American countries believed that these mutants would definitely cause great turmoil in Chinese society, so they were happy to see it happen, and even took the initiative to drive these mutants to China so that they could make trouble here and involve China's energy.
Unfortunately, their wishes were unfulfilled. No matter how difficult the mutants were before, they would no longer make any noise after being sent to China, so Europe and the United States began to advocate the extermination of mutants in China.
Because they simply couldn't understand how the evil that stirred up trouble in their own territory could become innocent when they went to other countries? How could they turn over a new leaf and stop causing trouble? It must be that China killed them all.
That is to say, European and American countries regarded these people as complete pests, and the only way to deal with them was to kill them all.
But as time entered the 21st century, they gradually realized that something was wrong. Why was this big guy developing faster and faster?
With the development of network technology, they finally got a glimpse of the mystery. Mutants were indispensable in those shocking super projects that made people feel completely impossible to complete.
Those terrorists who, in their opinion, blew up a mountain with one bomb built tunnels leading to the depths of the mountains one after another, and those super weapons that could destroy a city when fighting between two parties became gods on earth who blessed farmland with good weather and good harvests.
The management of mutants in China has completely reached a virtuous cycle. The stronger the ability, the more they can participate in large projects. The more large projects are judged to be promising, the more jobs can be provided for mutants, and the mutants will rush here with their families.
The more people there are, the easier it is for ordinary people to understand what mutants are, and the less likely they are to have misunderstandings and discrimination. The more super projects are completed, the greater the impact on ordinary people's lives, the better they like this special group, and the more tolerant society is to mutants, which makes it easier to attract more and stronger mutants.
After decades of virtuous cycles, all mutants who can find abilities that are somewhat beneficial to engineering construction have been accepted by China, and there are very few such talents scattered outside.
When counting the first batch of relocation lists, Magneto and Professor X discovered the problem. There were very few people who could participate in infrastructure construction, and some old friends they could contact also said that they were doing well in China now, and there was no need to go so far.
So Magneto could only settle for the second best, using quantity to make up for quality, or simply it doesn't matter if you don't have the corresponding mutant ability, as long as you are willing to come here to do infrastructure construction, then we are willing to accept you.
