The world was changing, and the current world was changing a little too fast. It was so fast that people felt overwhelmed. People often said that the Industrial Revolution was an exciting era. Because every day, people stood in the square to announce and promote their new inventions. Countless things that changed people's lives began to emerge from that moment.
The people of that era saw the development of the times and the rise of human civilization. No one knew if something that would change the world and shock the world would appear in the next second. The Industrial Revolution was always awe-inspiring.
It was the turning point of society that was condensed from the accumulated wisdom of countless people. Now, the changes and processes of the world, as well as the turning point of society, were a little overwhelming.
As a New York taxi driver and an ordinary mutant, the first half of William's life was very ordinary. It could be said that it was really as ordinary as water. There was nothing to brag about in his life, and there was nothing worthy of attention.
Even the awakening of his mutant ability was very ordinary. A glowing finger that could only provide 5 watts of LED light, and it could only light up in places where there was light. William didn't know what this stupid ability could do other than to tease children.
Not only was his personal life dull, but he felt that the whole world was dull. The world seemed to be moving forward on a fixed track, without any surprises or surprises. If he had to use a fancy adjective, William would probably describe it as: class solidification.
Yes, class solidification. In this country, it seemed that the rich would always be rich, the poor would always be poor, and the middle class would always be middle class. Although there were occasional changes, the overall feeling was not much.
The relationship between mutants and ordinary people was torn apart, and social conflicts were endless. Everything was so powerless. As a taxi driver, William felt that he had seen enough. Because over the years, he had driven people from all walks of life, from Wall Street elites and New York judges to gangsters who had just come out of a nightclub and looked like they were on drugs.
He always thought that the children of elites were mostly elites, and the children of gangsters (if they could live to marry and have children) were mostly gangsters.
Just like the customer he picked up today, a middle-aged man with an obvious Asian appearance. He was very well dressed, his hair was meticulously combed, and he wore a decent shirt and trousers, as well as a pair of beautiful leather shoes. He looked like an elite of Wall Street, and the place he went to was indeed Wall Street.
The radio in the taxi was playing current news. The man sitting in the back was listening attentively. Suddenly, he said, "Can you turn up the radio?"
William naturally had no reason to reject the passenger's request. He turned up the volume, and the news on the radio became even louder.
"Recently, a life form suspected to be in the shape of a fleet has appeared near Saturn, and it has declared war on Earth. Ever since Earth was declared at war, the entire world has been in a state of panic. "
"However, social order was not destroyed too much because of the joint efforts of the police, government departments, and superheroes. Since the day before yesterday, the city has returned to normal operations. "There was some static in the radio.
"The Star Battle in the Earth Xingxing Region also surprised everyone. For a moment, it was difficult for us to identify who was in conflict with the Goblins (Skylu). After the war, Captain Rogers made a global live broadcast. "
"He revealed to us a huge secret hidden on Earth. The remnants of the previous civilization had actually been living in the solar system. And at the critical moment, he stood up and helped Earth through the difficulties. And now, their capital, Attilan, is moving towards the moon. "
"It is reported that Captain Rogers has invited the King of the Mutants, Black Bat King, to Earth and has launched a friendly visit to various countries on Earth. The following is an entertainment report … "
After this current news, there was very boring entertainment gossip. William did not like these entertainment gossip, and the passengers in the back looked uninterested, so William turned down the radio's volume.
At the same time, he said with emotion, "This world changes so fast. Now, aliens, remnants of the previous era. All kinds of strange people and things have come out. Life now seems to be more exaggerated than Hollywood movies. What do you think, sir? "
Li En, who was sitting in the back, looked at the scenery outside the window. New York City had now returned to its normal state, and there were busy people on the streets.
Li En replied to William's words, "But this is also a good thing, isn't it?"
"Is it a good thing?" William saw that his passenger was willing to chat, so he also wanted to chat for a while. Because it was very boring to drive a taxi alone.
"Yes, from various perspectives." Li En nodded. "Our world is developing rapidly. I heard that the first super high-speed railway in Eastern Europe is already open to traffic. The new Eastern European Union is about to become a whole. And China is also speeding up the repair of the super high-speed railway to Eastern Europe. The integration of Europe and Asia is just around the corner, and the day of true global integration won't be too far away.
"Helium-3 controllable nuclear fusion has begun to be put into real civilian use. Stark Industries has already begun to distribute Ark batteries around the world. China's Suiren 1 has officially been ignited. The era of efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical energy is coming. We know that there are still many people in this world who don't have enough to eat and warm clothes to wear.
"When the cost of energy supply can be reduced again and again, then poverty in the entire world will be greatly improved. It will no longer be a myth to turn deserts into fertile fields, "Li En said in an expectant tone.
"When the super high-speed railway can easily transport people from all over the world. We can pool educational resources and people who need to be educated, making education fairer than ever. With enough energy, we can eliminate poverty and hunger.
"With Agent X, we can also break down the barriers between mutants and ordinary people. Whether it's the aliens or the survivors of the previous era, they're just catalysts to accelerate our entry into the interstellar era. We're always going to take this step. Human civilization has reached an era of revolution. It's no longer an industrial revolution or an information revolution, but an interstellar revolution. Our ecology and everything else will change, "Li En said.
"I'm really grateful for my life as we enter the interstellar era. I was able to see such a revolution at this age. We're now standing on an important page in history. "
William had never thought about so many problems like Li En, so he said admiringly, "Sir, you really think a lot."
Li En smiled. "Actually, my son told me a lot of things here."
"Then your son must be a very amazing person."
Li En didn't show any so-called virtue of modesty in response to William's compliments. He nodded and said, "Yes, he's an amazing person. He used his own way to throw himself into the furnace of changing the world and contributed in his own way. " Li En was talking about Li Jie establishing a superhero comic book system after establishing Marvel and giving Superheroes a certain amount of subsidies. This allowed more people to be willing to devote themselves to the cause of heroes.
"My son is indeed a very outstanding person. Although he can't stand on the front line, he is a very outstanding person. Although he can't stand on the front line, he can set an example for one person after another. He used his own way to add strength to this revolution. "Speaking of Li Jie, Li En was proud in his heart.
"This is a great era, Mr. Driver. We shouldn't let this era down and work hard. Maybe we'll have a chance to travel to the moon in 20 years, "Li En said with a smile.
William smiled. "Is that possible?"
