Chapter 977

Hoyum's body became swollen.

But his appearance did not change.

He was a rare person who could carry consciousness in his own flesh.

Of course, this does not mean that he is more powerful than gods like J.

The flesh carries consciousness because many people in the Federation do not inject gene sequences, but they will strengthen their genes. Although the upper limit is not as high as the gene sequence, it is average and stable, and the body will not change.

Even the genes themselves are only optimized, not completely changed.

This kind of insistence is generally within some large families.

Families pay attention to bloodline theory.

Some families even have their own set of genetic systems.

Hoyum is not a member of a certain family, but he also has his own insistence, such as giving birth.

Gene sequence is a physical evolution plan that completely changes one's own genes.

People who inject gene sequences will have reproductive isolation from ordinary people, and special methods are needed to give birth to ordinary people.

For example, taking a part of the genes for reverse cultivation.

Many people in the Federation cannot accept such things.

Most of them come from the bottom of society.

A popular saying in the Federation.

"Noble people are either in the sky or underground, not on the ground!"

It means that noble people are either upper class or lower class, and will never appear among ordinary people.

There is actually something wrong with this sentence.

But from the perspective of proportion, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

The upper class disguises themselves to make themselves look noble. As long as they keep pretending, they are noble.

The lower class is pua, mistakenly believing that they should not break the law and should be a stable and good citizen. They are also afraid of breaking the law because they can't afford it, so they must make themselves noble carefully.

And the middle people refer specifically to those who are neither up nor down and have a decent life.

They either don't struggle and are wantonly corrupt.

Or they struggle and use cruel means.

This saying does not contain any derogation, but is just a social phenomenon.

When the lower class becomes the middle class, they will also become the same, and the upper class before becoming the upper class will also do whatever it takes.

Hoyham was born in a family of lower class people.

In fact, it is the lowest level of the Federation.

Those who have been trapped in a star city for their whole lives.

Even if they save up for several lifetimes, they cannot leave the star city.

Now the Federation has entered a stable period, with slow economic development but a large population.

Too many things were distributed before, causing too many people in the Federation to slack off.

Some star cities were affected by this, and the book data is not good.

This also means that the Federation has officially entered another era of internal roll-up from an era where it can lie flat.

The first thing to be introduced is high taxes.

To live in a star city, you must pay various taxes, among which housing tax is the biggest.

For example, if a house costs 100,000 energy coins, you need to pay 600 energy coins in property tax every year.

In other words, as a normal person who buys a house, you can't slack off and you have to work.

If you rent a house, the landlord will transfer the property tax to the tenant. The annual rent is generally not less than 800 energy coins, and it is possible to be thousands of energy coins in places with good locations.

This is already very high.

The median monthly salary of ordinary people in the Federation is more than 400, at least in the star city of Hoyum, before leaving.

According to the data of previous years, it will not change much. After all, the average level seems to be the same in the last ten thousand years.

The average house price in the star city where Hoyum was born is 300,000 energy coins, with a monthly salary of 420. A couple working for 30 years without eating or drinking to buy a house actually needs about 80 years. If there is an accident, it may be hundreds of years.

Physical diseases in the Federation can indeed be treated, but treatment also costs money, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands.

More importantly, the main disease of the Federation is not in the body, but in the mechanical equipment in the body.

If there is a virus in the mechanical equipment, or it is stuck due to some program errors, it will cost money to repair it. The latter is okay, but if it is a virus, it will cost at least tens of thousands.

Hoyum's family bought a house worth 500,000. He is a soldier himself, with a relatively high salary, and he has privileges and benefits to buy a house.

According to the annual property tax of 0.6%, that is 3,000 energy coins per year. He is the only child in the family, and the total income of the three people is about 1,500 energy coins. Almost 2 months of salary needs to be paid for property tax every year.

The cost of acquiring knowledge, using tools, Internet, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses of the Federation add up to 1,400 energy coins, which is 4,200 for three people.

In terms of living costs, the monthly mandatory expenditure is about 150 energy coins per person, which is 5,400 energy coins a year.

The virtual network maintenance cost is 700 energy coins per year, which is also mandatory because in modern times, nothing can be done without a virtual network, 2,100 for three people.

Annual income is 18,000 energy coins, expenditure is 14,700, and there is 3,300 left.

This 3,300, if you spend a little on entertainment, is gone.

The virtual network maintenance cost is basically the maintenance of the virtual community, and does not include the cost of virtual games.

This is the bottom layer.

The current era has changed quietly.

The Federation has been changing. When the new Federation was established, many people still recall the life of working for a month and lying down for the rest of their lives.

On the one hand, there are more people and robots inside, which has reached a new height.

The other part is actually external pressure.

If the Federation does not roll up internally, how can it face the upcoming dimensional war?

Let the lying people develop new technology?

Or let the lying people go to the battlefield?

In fact, it was not very obvious during the dimensional war. When the relationship between flying civilization and human civilization deteriorated in the past 10,000 to 20,000 years, the entire Federation can be said to be changing with each passing day, but the salary has not increased.

If it were not for this, how could 10.8 million people stand up to die?

Even if there are tens of millions of warships and 10 billion soldiers, this ratio is too exaggerated.

That is to let a group of people who have no idea of ​​dying go to die!

Hoyum's determination is very firm.

His death in exchange for the leap of the family.

Under this situation, his family can only save a few million in 500 years of life.

If he dies, that will be hundreds of millions!

This was Hoyum's last thought as he was gradually filled with tool consciousness.

"I'm not such a saint."

"Otherwise I would not have chosen to stand up at this time."

"Actually, my task is the easiest now."

Hoyum's consciousness swept around.

There was no such thing as exploration.

Consciousness is a weapon, a shock wave.

Wherever the consciousness reaches, everything is destroyed.

Far away.

Only 160 astronomical units away.

The small detector, only a few meters long, collapsed in an instant.

"There should be more!"
