The opening scene of the movie was a long shot.
Under the warm sunshine, two children were happily playing football on the bumpy lawn.
They were laughing and playing, and their faces were filled with childlike smiles.
This was the backyard of a house in the countryside. The lawn, children's toys, and the entire structure of the house were all standard Western background, and the people inside were all foreigners.
Two kind fathers were leaning against the wooden fence in the backyard, watching the two children happily playing football and drinking cold beer.
The two kind mothers were preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Obviously, this was a very harmonious and harmonious neighborhood relationship, and the two families got along very well.
The two fathers chatted about their jobs. One was a worker in a factory, and the other was a small vendor who opened his own shop.
Although their jobs were different, they could feel the recent downturn in business, and they were thinking of other ways to earn some extra money to support their families. Otherwise, it was likely that they would not be able to afford the high tuition fees after their children went to school.
At this time, the TV next to them was broadcasting a piece of news.
"The 'Oxygen Guard System' has been officially activated today. It will be like oxygen, scattered in our living environment, ubiquitous and indispensable. "
"The Oxygen Guard System will protect the private property of every citizen, and it is sacred and inviolable. It will maintain the justice of the law, and any criminal will have nowhere to hide. "
"The Oxygen Guard System will not be inclined to any class, any group, or any individual. It will faithfully provide the most perfect protection for every citizen in accordance with the supreme principle of the law and the sanctity of private property …"
"A member of parliament said that the official launch of the Oxygen Guard System represents the development of human history to a new era, because under the protection of the Oxygen Guard System, the free regulation function of the market will be completely released. It can play its greatest role without human supervision, and the complete release of the free market will inevitably create more wealth for human society, and bring greater happiness … "
Just as the news was broadcasted, a mother in the kitchen said loudly, "Children, it's time to eat."
"Yes!" The two children responded, but they were still fighting for the last goal.
The two fathers looked at each other and smiled. One of the fathers waved his hand, turned off the TV, and went to the kitchen to help clean up the table.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights were on. The two families had a happy dinner together.
It was a quiet and peaceful night.
The pace of the movie was very fast. The two children slowly grew up, and their lives began to change.
One child, like his father, entered the factory to work as an ordinary worker, while the other child was determined to do business and started a small business.
Both of them were diligent, working very hard from dawn to dusk.
However, as the business children grew up, they began to use the money they earned to buy the latest educational chips and learn all kinds of knowledge. Gradually, they earned more money and moved out of the neighborhood.
After that, the two children drifted apart and never contacted each other again.
At this moment, the camera focused on this poor child.
He used to have a stable job in the factory.
But suddenly, one day, the supervisor of the factory informed them that all of them had lost their jobs, because the factory had a batch of the most advanced machinery, the entire production line could be controlled by machinery, no longer needing any workers.
Many workers could not accept this reality. They angrily tried to destroy these machines, but they were immediately knocked unconscious by the ubiquitous law enforcement units with high-voltage electricity. Some of them died on the spot, while others went bankrupt and became vagrants because they had destroyed valuable items and were burdened with heavy debts.
The poor protagonist had no choice but to continue to work in other factories, but the other factories were also constantly laying off workers and replacing them with new machines.
The poor protagonist could only continue to do odd jobs, his income getting lower and lower, and his standard of living getting worse and worse.
Finally, one day, these large companies began to extend their hands to the daily necessities. Food, water, air, and even space to move around were all divided up by these large companies.
At first, these large companies were very generous, allowing the poor to keep their houses, lawns, and old cars. But soon, the various kinds of maintenance costs overwhelmed the poor protagonist, and he had to sell his old house at a high price to live in a small cubicle with a life cycle system arranged by these large companies.
According to the price of selling his old house, the poor protagonist could live a life without worrying about food or clothing.
But soon, all kinds of problems appeared. The poor protagonist had no income, and he found that the necessities he needed were getting more and more expensive, and the speed at which he spent money increased day by day.
He wanted to sell his labor, but in this world where machines had replaced people, his labor was as worthless as himself. Perhaps the only thing he was worth was his attention and time. But he could only rely on watching advertisements day after day to earn a little bit of income and barely survive as a person.
His parents passed away because of old age, and their bodies could not be exchanged for much. Except for the recycled water and a certain amount of free air. The minerals and other elements in the human body could only be exchanged for a delicious piece of beef.
This piece of beef was very luxurious for the protagonist, because the life cycle system would only provide him with the resources to barely survive, but the protagonist had almost forgotten what meat tasted like.
He carefully ate the piece of beef, with tears in his eyes, and murmured, "Thank you, mom and dad."
The protagonist's living space became smaller and smaller. When he first moved into the cubicle, he could often go out for a walk and bask in the sun, but gradually, more and more land was surrounded by large companies, and the space he could move around was getting smaller and smaller.
In the end, he could only look at the environment outside through the glass, and see the changes day by day. An empty space was built and then demolished, turned into a square, and then demolished to be planted with lawns.
Finally, the outside world seemed to have returned to the beautiful pastoral era, the air was fresh, the grass was long, and the air was fresh. But the people were all isolated behind the glass. They could only watch, but they could not breathe in the fresh air outside.
In front of the poor protagonist was ordinary glass, but he could not break it, because if he did, he would not only have to compensate for the glass, but also for the fresh air outside.
The price of the fragrant air with the fragrance of flowers was completely different from the dirty air in the life cycle system, and he could not afford it at all.
Because of the existence of the law enforcement unit, there was no need to purchase tempered glass. There was no need to spend extra costs.
The poor protagonist could only look at the green field in the distance, imagining that he used to have the backyard of his house, that there used to be a bumpy lawn, and that there used to be a childhood playmate who happily played football with him.
At this moment, he saw a handsome and tall young man on the lawn showing off his skillful football skills. His movements were graceful, just like those of a top football player.
After the poor protagonist stared blankly for a while, he suddenly noticed that the young man's face seemed to be somewhat similar to his childhood playmate.
Through the education chip in this world, the advanced knowledge of scientists and the sports skills of athletes could all be input into the human brain. And advanced genetic technology could make people maintain eternal youth and extend their lifespan many times.
So even though the poor protagonist had become an old man in his 50s who looked older than his actual age, his childhood playmate still maintained the appearance of a young man.
The poor protagonist's emotions seemed to explode at this moment. It was difficult to describe his emotions, excitement, anger, and despair.
He recklessly smashed the glass, rushed toward the figure, and shouted the name of his childhood playmate.
The ubiquitous law enforcement unit did not kill him on the spot. Because this playmate acquiesced to him — the poor protagonist breathed in his own fresh air, stepped on his own expensive lawn, and came to talk to himself.
He even asked his personal robot to bring over two chairs, and the two of them looked into the distance and chatted together on the lawn, just like their father's generation.
The poor protagonist first recalled those unforgettable days in the past, but this childhood playmate only responded politely and perfunctorily. She only responded to him politely and perfunctorily, and did not evoke any ripples in her emotions.
The education chip filled the rich protagonist's brain with useful things, and the useless content had been silently deleted.
When they talked about his own life, the poor protagonist's anger exploded. He questioned this unfair world, questioned why air could be seen everywhere, but could not be freely obtained.
The rich protagonist asked curiously, "Air is a resource, and since it is a resource, it is scarce. Why can it be freely obtained?"
"The same is true for wealth. Wealth is not scarce in this world, but people are still scrambling for it, desperately pursuing wealth."
"For this society, there will always be many people who have no value, and we, the rich, are out of pity and kindness. We bear the burden for this society and provide the most basic living security for these people who have no value. We are the devotees of this society. "
"Everything you see, including the lawn under your feet, the air you breathe, is my personal property. If I want, you can also become my personal property. And my personal property is protected by the law enforcement unit, it is sacred and inviolable. "
"I have never done anything against the law. I started from scratch, from a small business to the scale it is today. In the process, I have put in unimaginable effort. With my own wisdom, I have solved one problem after another. "
The light in the poor protagonist's eyes gradually dimmed. It was impossible for him to refute his childhood playmate, because the other party could quote all the laws and regulations, and was extremely eloquent. The poor protagonist was no match for him in any way.
The poor protagonist could not resist at all. The law enforcement unit was everywhere, and the moment he wanted to die together with the rich protagonist, he would be shot dead.
Just as he was about to leave dejectedly, the rich protagonist stopped him again.
"You are very lucky. I am not a heartless rich person. I am also the biggest philanthropist in today's society."
"Although you have always violated my personal property and caused me great trouble, I have always maintained the greatest tolerance and restraint, and saved many people from the hands of the law enforcement unit. In order to solve this problem once and for all, I have decided to be generous and do the biggest charity project in my life. I will provide you with spaceships and fuel. I will provide you with a spaceship and fuel to open up a new world. "
"Of course, this expedition is full of danger. You have the freedom to choose, whether to leave or to stay, I will respect your decision, but I also hope that you can respect the law and my personal property. "
At the end of the film, countless people like the poor protagonist boarded the spaceship to another planet.
Before the spaceship ignited and took off, the poor protagonist saw the rich protagonist on the screen in front of him. They stared at each other through the screen.
But no matter how they looked and spoke, they could not understand each other. The poor and the rich had become two completely different species.
Finally, the spaceship ignited and took off, crossing the sky and flying into the vast universe.
The rich protagonist sat down on a rocking chair on the lawn contentedly, petted his pet dog, and continued to read.
Although he already had too much knowledge, reading still brought him a feeling of happiness.
"This is great, all the problems have been solved in a way that satisfies both sides."
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dimmed, and the rich protagonist leaned back on the rocking chair with a smile on his face. He slept peacefully like a baby.
