6 a.m.
Alpha opened her eyes, and her whole body was covered with fine beads of sweat. She only rested briefly for two hours in a house provided by Ada nearby, and started to warm up at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Quasimodo stood aside, clasping his hands in prayer, and Alpha stood up. The air around her seemed to be shaking.
Quasimodo felt that Alpha had liberated his own power, and this fierce and terrifying power was about to emerge. Alpha's expression was solemn, and she nodded towards Quasimodo.
"Let's walk over slowly. It's not far from Section 10."
With Quasimodo's thoughts in mind, Alpha looked at the Capitol Hill in the center. This day is coming, and the fate of nearly a hundred years will come to an end today.
Alpha knew very well that it would be difficult for Gene to defeat him this time.
The back he had been looking at since he was born was finally turning around today. Alpha did not expect Jean to agree to a fight with him so easily.
A helicopter flew over slowly, and then slowly landed in front of Alpha and Quasimodo.
"I'll take you there, girl."
The moment Tang Rao saw Alpha, she felt a hint of fear. She could clearly feel that even though Alpha was a few meters away, she could feel the energy emitting from the surface of Alpha's body, which was astonishingly powerful.
"No need, Teacher Tang Rao, I'll just walk over."
"If you go like this..."
Alpha started walking calmly, Quasimodo nodded slightly, and Tang Rao could only let the takeoff and landing machine return automatically, and then followed Alpha.
Looking at Alpha now, in Tang Rao's mind, those past events emerged one after another.
Jean has stood in front of Alpha countless times in the past, but today perhaps Jean can no longer stand in front of Alpha.
"It would be nice if we could sit down and have a good talk."
Tang Rao said easily, while Alpha just grinned slightly.
Tang Rao knew this was impossible because Gene never said anything and Alpha never asked. This was because the two trusted each other extremely much.
But in Tang Rao's opinion, it might be better to talk about some things, but it's useless to say anything now. Jean has promised Alpha that he will have a good fight with her.
Senior officials from the executive branch will be present, and some members of parliament have also been notified.
The Capitol Hill side is already bustling with activity, and several other guys are still reinforcing and decorating the venue. Rose and Guyi will be the protectors and repairers of the venue throughout the entire process.
People will always come to the wall unknowingly, and the mood of wanting to break the wall and look at the other side of the wall will become more and more intense as time goes by.
"How old are you Alpha."
"88."
Tang Rao sighed helplessly. It had been nearly a century, and she hugged Alpha with only one arm.
"I will be on your side this time and teach that bastard a lesson."
Alpha showed a knowing smile.
6:11 am
Jean sat quietly in the Congress Hall, with no one around. Underground here is a large venue, where the secretaries' competition is held every year.
This started more than ten years ago. Some TV stations will broadcast the entire process live, while section chiefs will explain it on the side.
Gene sat quietly in the middle, on a blue chair, resting his chin on his hand and holding a cigarette in one hand, waiting for Alpha to come over.
Scenes from the past kept flowing in Jean's mind, and Alpha's last expression that night appeared in his mind. She seemed to be asking angrily, why didn't you do anything.
Gene couldn't answer the question, what could he do, and what was the use of doing it.
Because every time no matter what you do, eventually everything will turn around again as time changes.
The same was true for societies in the past. The larger the society, the later it collapsed, but ultimately it could not escape the fate of collapsing and then rebuilding the society.
No system is completely reasonable, and no law is perfect. Everything that human beings have pursued for thousands of years has actually reached its end. This was the case as early as 200 years ago.
It is very difficult to balance development and stability. It is almost impossible to achieve both a relatively free life for human beings and a relatively stable society.
For the development of science and technology, Bright City allows a certain range of freedom and does not interfere with the birth of science, technology and various academics. However, the birth of these things often separates the levels of society. If you want social stability, you must have a unified voice.
.
Freedom and autocracy, two completely opposite ways, exist in Bright City, so problems have occurred frequently in recent years. However, if we do not do this, science and technology will not be able to achieve great progress and development.
Because all human science and technology in the past were cultivated in the soil of relative freedom. If there was only oppression and autocracy, there would be no soil of freedom.
The two opposing systems will always produce some sharp contradictions, and in order to maintain stability, the only way is to form autocracy in the system and law.
Jean didn't know if all this could really push mankind into the future, but the facts proved that in the more than a hundred years since the establishment of Brilliant City, they had found another system that could be achieved once and for all.
In the mechanized era, mechanized systems allow us to control everything and hold everything in our hands. Human beings only need to develop according to the design. There is no need for individuality or freedom. They only need to be a part of the mechanical age.
After the parts are damaged and aged, replace them with new ones. Just ensure that the machine can continue to operate as usual. This may be the best "solution."
As a human being, Jean has always been unable to approve such an approach, but at the same time he has to admit it, because in the face of reality, everything Jean has done has become in vain after countless times have changed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gene couldn't help but think of everything his teacher Weiner said when he passed away.
"What are we living for? When we were children, we were fearless, innocent and happy, and felt that we were different, as if everything was at our fingertips. However, as time went by, we encountered unsolvable problems, so we
We started to be rebellious and felt like we had nothing to do. We had plenty of time and we still had opportunities. However, before we knew it, when we grew up, we found that we had no opportunities. At this time, we learned something, kept a low profile, became submissive, and became capable.
Bow to those who are stronger than you, but no matter how hard you try, once you start to become useless, you will be kicked away. Until one day, we figured something out and decided to break everything and start over, relying on our own efforts.
Come to obtain a happy life, work hard, and year after year we finally have a little harvest. However, there will always be people in this world who want to get something for nothing. You need to always be careful about your back, because these people will always want to step on you.
To climb up, you must always be vigilant. And when you finally achieve your so-called happiness through hard work, you can spend your old age peacefully, but at this time you are watching the people and things you were familiar with in the past slowly disappearing, and you begin to
We are afraid of death and become timid. Finally, when we get old, we become chatty, like to miss the past, become sarcastic, and become the old people we used to hate. In the end, we will all lead to death, and death is
The fairest thing in the world, no matter how glorious you were in the past, no matter how miserable you were in the past, you will only be reduced to dust in the end!"
Hydra once said something like this, live in order to die, but how many people can understand the true meaning?
The entire era is like a person's life, and it will come to an end one day.
The so-called results can only be seen when everything fades away, but was this result planted from the beginning? Or from the beginning to the end, the process in between is so similar and extremely cruel.
Jean looked at the time passing in front of him. Time seemed fair, but under the rules of time, it was extremely unfair.

The door to the Congress Hall opened, Gene stood up and looked at Michelle walking towards him.
"Lord Jean, the arrangements have been made."
Gene hummed, then smiled slightly.
"Sorry Michelle, you are obviously so busy."
Michelle bowed slightly, stood aside, and followed Gene after he passed by.
6:24
When
Having just come into contact with Leng Rui, it seemed that the boy was indeed what he thought, and it was impossible for him to believe Akers' identity. X laughed loudly.
It would be terrible if Leng Rui believed Akers' identity, and his plan would fail.
The purpose of X's doing this is just to let Leng Rui completely cut off all ties with the past, and from now on, he can seriously build Prometheus in a relatively stable and comfortable environment.
At the same time, it is also to let Leng Rui know that their mother is still alive. This is enough, and the subsequent plan X has been arranged.
All of this is to allow Bright City to enter the mechanization era earlier. Once it enters the mechanization era, X's long-cherished wish will come true.
The first step of the plan will begin today. X slowly came to a metal door. As the metal door slowly opened, there was darkness in front of him, but at this time the lights came on.
There were people everywhere in the room, and people with dull eyes stood quietly. At this time, X clapped his hands.
With a flicker of light, the eyes of these people lit up, and soon the corpse-like people in front of them had expressions. Gradually, the entire hall became lively. There were a total of 1,013 people here.
This is the result of this period of time, and X is very satisfied. They will complete the replacement today, successfully integrate into human society, and quietly wait for the opportunity to come.
These 1013 people were all selected through strict screening, and today they all have a chance to replace the main body. After precise planning and calculation, the chance is as high as 99.9999%.
"Okay everyone, you can start taking action."
X said, these people walked past him as if they were going shopping, chatting and laughing. There were children, the elderly, men and women, and all kinds of new human beings were about to officially enter the human society today.
To be continued...
