Oleben looked at Tommy with joy in his eyes. Tommy walked over and came step by step to the frozen president at the bottom. He had seen this GHD president in some documentaries.
This is Mr. Brown, who was president when the doomsday struck. He has been sleeping for more than 200 years. Oleben came over and said.
"This president has led all of us in the United States to complete a lot of construction underground, right in this base."
Tommy smiled with emotion.
"The catastrophe that year was really unbelievable. It was too difficult for human beings to survive in such a catastrophe."
Tommy actually doesn't know much about the disaster more than 200 years ago, because some historical records on the market are incomplete, and many core secrets are already in the hands of the state.
The real situation that the people know is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the truth is hidden under the water. Tommy looked around. Tommy knew many of the presidents here, because if he wanted to enter the world of power, he must be familiar with these people.
of.
After all, these presidents represent the highest power of the country, and many people in the power circles have been passed down from generation to generation. Today, it is the families of these presidents who control the center of power.
Tommy has known these things for a long time. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter the center of power without extreme luck. There is no one like Tommy who accidentally seizes the opportunity just to take the blame.
Rights and economy have long been tightly tied together, and those who have become powerful and capital have already begun to have hereditary systems 200 years ago. Outsiders do not know this invisible situation, but Tommy is
At a certain high-level gathering, I overheard a few drunk people talking about something. They clearly told which families some of the young people at the banquet came from, and there had been presidents in these families.
Tommy was shocked at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt disappointed. The two largest factions in the country, GHD and MZD, both took turns in the position of president. The two factions seemed to be constantly fighting, but in fact they were just fighting each other.
Just kicking a ball around.
Tommy has carefully studied some of the things the two factions have done after taking office in the past few years. They are throwing some problems at each other, and then the other side fights back. They have only one purpose in doing this, which is to put on a show in front of the people.
As long as the people begin to divide and believe everything about the two factions, the people's energy will be consumed in various things where the two sides kick each other back and forth, and it will be more difficult for them to get closer to the truth.
Under the double deception of money and power, the people have become increasingly unmotivated. Many people have even felt that this has been the case for their entire lives, and even their future children will be the same. Too many people have already resigned themselves to their fate.
.
Seeing Tommy's serious expression, Oleben laughed.
"President Tommy, you should have realized such a cruel thing a long time ago."
Tommy nodded and stared at the old men in the freezer. What Tommy didn't expect was that they actually wanted to continue living in order to press the pause button on their dying lives when technology becomes advanced in the future.
"I don't like them very much. If I could, I'd really like to throw them all out."
Oleben was stunned at first, but then burst into laughter.
"As expected of you, President Tommy."
Tommy laughed.
"It's just a joke."
Oleben smiled and nodded, but seeing Tommy's confused look, he probably knew what Tommy was going to ask. Oleben snapped his fingers, and soon a robot brought some drinks and food.
After the two sat down, Tommy looked at President Brown not far away. He looked to be at most 70 years old and was very well taken care of.
"Why does he know that there will be such technology in the future?"
"Human exploration has indeed discovered a method that can sustain life on that asteroid, and this method has been proven to be effective on humans."
Tommy stood up in shock, Oleben pulled Tommy with a smile and said.
"There is no need to be so surprised, President Tommy. You will know these things sooner or later. I invited you here today just to talk to you about what you want to know. According to our speculation, your presidential re-election cycle
It’s very long-lasting.”
Tommy looked at Oleben doubtfully and said.
"The previous system that each president could only be re-elected once was abolished more than 100 years ago. Do you know why?"
Tommy thought for a moment and then said.
"For the integrity of this country, to centralize power within a certain period of time."
Oleben was a little surprised. His face was solemn, but he looked at Tommy with admiration.
"Sure enough, you are very smart, President Tommy. Now this country has reached the point of being divided. If it weren't for you, maybe a war would break out in the next one or two years. Once the war starts, the northern alliance will overwhelm it in one fell swoop.
That’s when everything gets really chaotic.”
Oleben said, looked at Brown, and then said.
"After this president retired for re-election, he began to return here to plan for the future. Many presidents will eventually come here, and they will naturally want to continue living."
Tommy laughed.
"What's the point of living with such a body? Everything they have done has brought the entire country to where it is now."
Oleben raised his glass and the two of them took a sip. Tommy seemed a little uncomfortable in such a room. After all, in Tommy's opinion, these people only think about themselves and never think about the country.
In the past, the United States of the World has always relied on war to amass wealth around the world, and has constantly relied on strong methods to obtain benefits and make the whole world pay for itself. However, after encountering the catastrophe, although the United States of the World still exists, there is no external force.
Any place for them to make money.

to control the power.
"It really doesn't make much sense. President Tommy, if you want, you can freeze yourself here in the future."
Tommy laughed, realizing it immediately.
"Some of the higher-ups in your military department are the same, right?"
Oleben nodded.
"My great-grandfather is still freezing down there, and there are several of them. My grandfather is too, and so is my father."
Tommy felt sad for a moment, because such a country has been completely controlled by these people, and they will control it forever, as long as they have children, it can be passed down from generation to generation.
"I know you don't like this concept very much, and you must be disgusted in your heart, but the world after the disaster is far more serious than the medicine you think."
Although Tommy had seen some videos of the disaster, he didn't know the more specific things.
"What do you mean by Brilliant City just now?"
Tommy didn't quite understand, then Oleben stood up, opened a crystal screen, and then brought up a world map.
"This is a sample of the world in the past, and the Brilliant City I am talking about is at this location."
Oleben pointed, Tommy stood up, Oleben drew a line, and then the mileage appeared. They were more than 20,000 kilometers away from Brilliant City in a straight line.
"Does this mean that humans still have a civilization called Brilliant City?"
Oleben nodded.
"This civilization, like us, is also closed in the world after the sun disappears. Their technology is already very advanced. We have only seen some image files transmitted from Asgard. We can basically confirm that their technology
The level is no lower than ours.”
"etc."
Tommy recalled what Oleben had said at the beginning, and he asked in shock.
"You mean, does Bright City have a means to extend human lifespan now?"
Oleben nodded, then showed a happy smile.
"But now it is almost impossible for us to establish diplomatic relations with them. This involves the issue of Stika, which you should have understood."
Tommy hummed. He did not quite understand the research on Steka, because Collins had told Tommy before that the plan to use existences like Steka to generate energy had been in place for a long time.
Oleben sighed, then took a sip with Tommy, and then he snapped his fingers. At this time, their chairs and small table moved slowly.
"Go to another room and chat slowly."
Tommy hummed, and after a while they moved to a room full of green plants, with a rockery and a small pool. Tommy got up and lay down on the sofa comfortably, holding a piece of dried meat and started eating.
"Why did Steka exist so early?"
Tommy didn't quite understand it. After all, it existed before the disaster. This kind of thing sounded like someone traveled through time and space.
Oleben said with a smile.
"Do you know how people around the world viewed Area 51 in the past?"
Tommy shook his head.
"This used to be one of the most mysterious places in the world, and the biggest rumor was that aliens were captured."
