Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant nest.

Some simple and easy-to-understand truths are timeless.

Even in the distant interstellar era, many civilizations collapsed due to chain reactions caused by some inconspicuous things.

The Serbs are not the first, nor will they be the last.

of course.

They are just beginning to decline and encounter a series of big troubles, but they have not really begun to collapse.

But even so,

A civilization that had a dominant position in the interstellar civilized society in the Fire Reef Star Territory slipped from its throne, and the impact it brought was also quite vast and far-reaching.

Don’t say anything else.

Just the collapse of Serbia's trade-oriented economy and the rapid deterioration of the economic situation and the various chaos that have spawned have given the authorities a splitting headache.

Well known.

The unemployment rate is basically linked to the crime rate.

Don't use China's experience to apply this to this.

A civilization like China itself is an outlier in the world’s civilization circle.

There are not as many countries that have both a moral system and a legal system as most people imagine.

People like Midi who go shopping for zero dollars as soon as they lose their jobs are the norm in most civilizations.

Even in China, with the economic downturn in recent years, a large number of social problems have emerged - but in different ways.

They all went out to take advantage of others, and even engaged in e-mail fraud.

After all, there are only a small number of people who directly engage in violent crimes.

It should be said that in this regard, the 'Sky Eye System' and the 'Xueliang Project' will make great contributions.

In addition, China’s perfect household registration and credit reporting system has produced a strong cooperative response.

but...

Regrettably.

Surveillance, household registration, and credit reporting are not so effective in the interstellar era.

Not every civilization has the exaggerated information technology strength of the Suzheng Empire.

For most children like Serb...

If we can see the surface of the earth and the space station, can we also see every celestial body and every inch of space in the entire control area?

Where can I have that ability?

What's more, there are a lot of malicious promoters behind this.

Patrol teams and the like are already having a hard time dealing with 'civilian lawbreakers'.

At present, there are some 'external forces' who are desperately searching for all kinds of pirates, mercenaries, and villains to sneak into their territory.

Even the regular troops who had changed their vests took up the pirate flag and began to loot the Serb merchant fleets that were in an increasingly difficult situation.

How could it be possible to withstand this situation?

The Fire Reef Starfield itself has the entire Orion Spiral Arm, and at least it is one of the best interstellar mercenary distribution centers in the area near the spiral arm.

Every mercenary and captain here can transform into an outlaw.

The Seinstarks who have completely entered the stage of "falling down the wall and being pushed by everyone",

Just like the U.S. military before it suffered the iron fist of Saigon, it was caught in a tormented security war.

The masterminds behind the scenes, who are almost crazy, are searching for an increasingly limited number of criminals with full enthusiasm.

Smuggle them into Serbian territory, or arrange them near several key trade routes.

Come and work hard to create endless trouble for this boss whose national power is getting weaker and weaker.

...but.

This kind of thing is equivalent to playing with fire.

After all, if they want to cooperate with these desperadoes, they naturally cannot carefully screen the targets.

Good or bad, as long as they are willing to cause trouble for the Serbs, they will take it all.

And this way...

When the major civilizations in the Fire Reef Star Territory tacitly worked together to trap their bosses, various tactics of 'armed privateering' and 'breaking diplomatic relations at sea' were in full swing.

It is inevitable that some truly dangerous elements will sneak into the Star Territory...

..

"Hey, did you hear that?"

A lizard man who also had recurved knee joints and a long scaly tail carried a pint of beer with a paw with only three fingers. He walked to the table where three people were playing cards and greeted them with a smile.

"What did you hear?

'The CEO of United Line jumped off the building this morning', or 'Horn Company became insolvent and declared bankruptcy yesterday'? "

The latter also simply threw the cards on the table and each grabbed a cup.

Started bragging and spanking mode.

The expressions on each face were obviously very happy.

Also.

For low-level mercenaries like them, it is undoubtedly a very enjoyable after-dinner program to watch the big shots who used to be superiors suffer due to various reasons, and even lose their temper to the point of hysterically wailing in front of the camera.

In terms of the gap between the rich and the poor in the interstellar era, during this period, the big names who fell from the altar due to the bankruptcy of the government's economic rescue plan were all real people who were so high up in the clouds that they would be punished for even looking at them. noble.

This group of powerful people had sucked their blood and sweat in the past, and they had treated these mercenaries like dogs.

...Although, the latter is actually not a good boy.

But no matter what, the more unlucky these big guys are, the happier they will naturally be.

During this period, there was even a private radio station that jumped out to open the market and take inventory every day of major companies that were about to go bankrupt or were about to face bankruptcy.

A bunch of busybodies who didn't mind the excitement came to place bets one after another.

There are also some who happen to bet on dark horses and become rich overnight...

...Well, I have to say that the interstellar people really have fun.

"No, it's more exciting than that,"

The lizard man who came later sat down on the edge with a mysterious look on his face.

"Do you know about the Zhilun Galaxy?"

“Didn’t the authorities say that the management staff’s operational error caused the FTL communication base station to be damaged by the solar wind, leading to the short-term loss of communication?”

The ape-man mercenary looked at him strangely.

"Is it possible that there is something else hidden?"

"Haha, of course it is. How can we trust the authorities' news?"

The lizard man laughed.

Then his face became solemn and he changed his subject.

"I have a friend who works at the Public Security Bureau. He said that it was not some stupid communication failure at all, but that it was invaded!

A group of mentally ill pirates, driving a tattered fleet that looks like it was picked up from a garbage dump, shouted on the public channel that they want the people of Zhilun-i to join them and submit to some kind of "Khan" of Laoshizi, like a group of pirates. Help crazy believers;

As a result, when the local patrol team and the garrison went to clean up, they were directly bombarded by a volley of fire from this group of garbage-picking fanatics. Then these crazy guys burned the glass of Zhilun-i and burned the planet. The flames of Yitan were just extinguished yesterday! "

"..."

In front of the lizard man, the other three people, including his kin, all had dumbfounded expressions.

He looked at him blankly.

Then the ape-man showed a speechless look:

"It's not that I don't believe you, brother. The problem is that this is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

"Zhilun I is the core industrial planet of the Serbs. The dog skins we are wearing are produced there. Half of the spaceships outside were built in the shipyards there,"

The ape-man looked at this guy with dead eyes,

"In this place, which is equivalent to the lifeblood of the Serbs, everyone is not clear about the size of the garrison fleet.

Now you say that this place was actually destroyed by a group of pirates with a junk fleet, and even the planet was burned to glass...

...It’s not my hand, buddy, did you drink too much kapi tree sap and burn out your brain? "

"That's it."

Next to him, the Serb wearing a humanoid powered exoskeleton also raised the visor of his helmet and gave him a look of contempt.

Serbs are shelled arthropods.

Unlike the Fi people who also have carapace, the latter's carapace has degenerated to the point where it only occupies a small area of ​​the body surface. Like fingernails, hair and other parts, it has become some kind of display and social function. Decorative organs.

In terms of overall physiological structure, it is already a purely humanoid creature;

But the former is still a pure monster by human standards.

Their physiological form is suitable for running or close combat, but is not suitable for industrial production.

Therefore, when you go out, you basically ride on such a power carrier.

And the vast majority of carriers are more functional humanoids.

From this point of view, they are similar to aquatic people, and they are both races with imperfect mobility.

"No! How could I lie? That friend of mine is really..."

The lizard man shouted, then suddenly paused.

"Wait a minute, did you hear anything..."

——A shrill air defense siren suddenly sounded the next moment.

Then in the corner of everyone's eyes, an extremely bright but gloomy purple-black light flashed past.

The lizard man turned back in surprise.

Then he saw the wide floor-to-ceiling portholes, in the cosmic space near Entalos II.

A twisted hyperspace channel suddenly appeared.

"Damn, short jump?"

The Serb was very shocked and said,

"Aren't the space traps in the galaxy open around the clock? How is it possible that someone can still jump?"

However, there are people who can jump in.

Not only can.

And it’s still very capable of:

——A huge shadow emerged from the hyperspace channel terminal, completely blocking the light cast by the star towards the space station where they were located.

They were ship after ship of steel behemoths, at least close to the million-ton level. They were covered in tattered metal structures, as if the entire armor layer was recast from scrap metal.

The bow of the ship and the skirts on both sides are equipped with countless densely packed firepower platforms. The entire shape is like a king crab with its six legs gathered in front of the body, which looks extremely funny.

...But after seeing clearly the super giant kinetic energy muzzle in the center of their bow that was big enough to stuff a whole frigate inside, everyone stopped laughing.
