2700. Carl's life (1)
The robot called BD-1 by Carl-Kestis is a BD-series exploration droid produced by Behold-Urwar Droid Concepts.
It has a telescope-like head and a pair of anti-joint mechanical legs. It is not equipped with arms, but it moves very flexibly, just like a little bird, beating flexibly on the ground with its legs.
The B-D series of exploration robots are produced to assist developers in exploring tasks in complex environments, and can also perform simple maintenance work on spacecraft and other equipment. Its small and flexible body is capable of operating in a variety of complex planetary environments and narrow equipment maintenance channels.
However, this B-U robot concept company lacked other products, so after the Clone Wars outbreak, the B-D series of exploration robots they produced were abandoned by the market because they could not meet combat needs, and the company eventually went bankrupt.
In addition, the exploration mission itself is highly dangerous, so there are very few B-D series exploration robots left in the galaxy.
However, he had never kept the origin of the little robot Carl-Kestis secret. Even if his friends asked about it, he would just say that it was given to him by a friend from the Empire.
Now he has been working at Annaj Planet for ten years. Logically speaking, based on his work experience, he should have been promoted to a manager long ago. But Carl-Kestis is always cautious and he never works in one company for too long.
That time Population Census ten years ago really scared him.
That time, his blood sample was taken away by his friend Frey by mistake. As a result, Frey was arrested as Force-sensitive. However, during a subsequent re-examination, Population Census's people discovered that Frey was not Force-sensitive at all, so the unreasonable Ministry of the Interior staff beat him up and sent him back.
After that, another group of staff came to review the people here, but Carl-Kestis found that their management was very chaotic, maybe because of the heavy workload. In short, he secretly took a few bottles of other people's blood samples to get through and it actually worked.
The officials responsible for Population Census came over and checked for a while with no results, so the matter was dropped.
However, it seems that those Ministry of the Interior officials were not happy with this result, so they found an excuse to transfer Frey to work on another planet. From then on, Carl-Kestis never saw him again.
After that, Carl-Kestis also discovered that Kingdom of Dawn seemed to have a relatively relaxed attitude towards Force-sensitive. They did not regard Force-sensitive as a scourge like Galactic Empire did. Although they would be forcibly taken away once discovered, they would not pursue him if he was not found.
Moreover, Kingdom of Dawn will conduct a population screening every three years. At this time, some popular science and advertisements about Force-sensitive and Force-sensitive will be released on TV channels and on the streets.
Among them, the concept of Force-sensitive feels very fresh to Carl-Kestis, because as far as he knows, those people listed as Force-sensitive are actually no different from ordinary people in the eyes of Jedi Order. Because these people may be able to sense the Force after training, but even so, the communication ability between them and the Force makes them unable to hold a cup steadily.
But Kingdom of Dawn is promoting that Force-sensitive can also exert its own value and will provide suitable opportunities.
Although Carl-Kestis didn't know what this opportunity was, and the Force-sensitive he knew around him never appeared again after being recruited, but he felt that Kingdom of Dawn really seemed to intend to socialize the Force.
Kingdom of Dawn did not publicize Force-sensitive, but it did not shy away from it. Ordinary people can find relevant information if they are interested.
In the Kingdom of Dawn network, there are two places where you can check such information. One is a religious organization called "Holy Advent Cult". They preach in Kingdom of Dawn. The scale is not large, but it is the only religious organization recognized by the government. However, it seems that Kingdom of Dawn officials have no intention of spreading this religion throughout the country.
On the website of Holy Advent Cult, they describe the Force as the only powerful force that created the universe and maintains its operation, and incorporate this into their religious philosophy as "The Unity". This point is somewhat similar to Jedi Order's explanation of the Force, except that it lacks some scientific theories and has more religious fanaticism.
And the other one is a website called "Academy". This website's explanation of the Force is more user-friendly, and they explain more about Force-sensitive.
The college gave many examples of the use of the Force in daily life, illustrating the value of Force-sensitive in the national system. For example, joining the army, for example, participating in some micro-engineering in the precision machining industry, such as joining National Security Bureau, or even entering Security Bureau Criminal Investigation Department...
Through the academy's explanation, the mystery of Force-sensitive has been reduced a lot. People will understand that, except for a very small number of gifted people, the vast majority of Force-sensitive and Force-sensitive just have sharper senses.
There are some rumors on the Internet that the academy is actually a military organization that specializes in training the Force agents for the military. However, this statement has not been confirmed, and many people think it is just a conspiracy theory.
However, Carl-Kestis understands that Kingdom of Dawn military has a lot of uses for Force-sensitive and Force-sensitive.
More than once, when he passed some military or scientific research facilities, he would feel the presence of the Force in those places - although it was weak, it was definitely not something that ordinary people could contend with.
Regardless of the understatement stated by the "Academy" on the website, Carl-Kestis who have actually come into contact with the Force also know that if paired with some suitable equipment, even the weakest Force-sensitive can easily kill a team of ordinary people. The most typical equipment is the sniper rifle. Force-sensitive uses a sniper rifle. It is only a basic operation to achieve perfect shots.
However, Jedi Order is not allowed to use the Force in this way. What they are most worried about is that the Force will be used as a killing tool, so the existence of Lightsaber can indeed exert the power of Force-sensitive on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also serves as a ritual to make Force-sensitive give up other killing tools.
But it is obvious that Kingdom of Dawn has no such scruples. Even with Carl-Kestis's current understanding, he also knew that Kingdom of Dawn had a variety of weapons specially developed for Force-sensitive.
On the other hand, both Holy Advent Cult and the college express the equal relationship between Force-sensitive and other ordinary people. Although the explanations are different, both regard Force-sensitive as an accidental mutation phenomenon, and are bound by clauses such as "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".
In the public mind of Kingdom of Dawn, Force-sensitive uses the Force to deal with ordinary people. This is an act that will be despised and will not only be severely punished by law, but also severely condemned morally.
All Force-sensitive who have such a record of harming ordinary people will be taken away and disappear completely, and their families will not receive any compensation, and they will even be ostracized by others.
Carl-Kestis appreciates this very much. Sometimes he even feels that this is how the Force should be used. But soon, that thought was replaced by a deeper concern.
Because of the classic records of Jedi Order, when the Force begins to spread in society, the result will often cause great chaos. Because no matter how the relevant departments explain it, Force-sensitive is superior to ordinary people. This is an indisputable fact. The social class differentiation caused by this in the long run is inevitable.
The formation of the the Force privileged class is exactly what Jedi Order absolutely wants to prevent. The reason why Kingdom of Dawn is not like this now is just because the time is too short. Once Force-sensitive begin to intermarry and the second and third generations of Force-sensitive are born, then the the Force privileged class will gradually form.
In addition, the country's Supreme Leader himself is the most powerful Force-sensitive, which will only exacerbate this phenomenon.
It is for this reason that Carl-Kestis has always hidden his identity as Force-sensitive, and constantly changed jobs to avoid being found out.
Every two or three years, he would deliberately make some mistakes in his work, causing some moderate losses, and then lose the opportunity for promotion. After a few months, he would pretend to be frustrated and resign.
When I first immigrated to Annaj Planet, the work arrangement at that time was mandatory. However, after four or five years, as Developer Sector gradually spread, job opportunities became more abundant, and things like job-hopping were allowed.
The place where Carl-Kestis currently works is a small enterprise called "Sunny Recycling Company". To be honest, Carl-Kestis thinks this name is very strange. Is facing the stars a very meaningful thing? Shouldn't this be commonplace? I finally opened a company, but I chose an unremarkable name. I really don't know what the boss thought.
The boss of this company is an old man in his 70s named Zhang Guomin. It is said that he is the first-generation immigrant of Dawn Star Planet. He was over 50 years old when he woke up from hibernation. He was once an expert in materials science. After working for a few years, he felt that he was not adapted to the environment and could not keep up with the development of the times. So he took a compensation payment and resigned and opened a recycling company.
Kingdom of Dawn treats these first-generation immigrants very generously. Even if they do not work for the government, their lives will be guaranteed. Food and clothing are just the basics. Most first-generation immigrants live a prosperous life.
As for the "Sunny Recycling Company" opened by Zhang Guomin, there are actually many of them in Kingdom of Dawn. Generally speaking, these companies are engaged in war business. But if you really dig deeper, you are actually a garbage collector.
This is a war era, so wars are constantly breaking out and there is no peace everywhere. When there is a war, all kinds of war waste will be produced. If these wastes are not processed, on the one hand, it may cause the leakage of military equipment, and on the other hand, it will also have an impact on the environment around the planet.
The processing of these wastes has spawned an entire industry chain that is extremely huge.
Generally, after a battle, the military's salvage team will first salvage the battlefield for the first time, dismantling all the most important instruments and equipment in the wreckage and transporting them back to the rear to prevent these items from flowing into the black market.
Then, those Kingdom of Dawn state-owned military industrial companies will send people to recover the remains of their respective products. For example, Tyran Heavy Industries specializes in recovering the wreckage of Behemoth-class battlecruiser, and Fourth Group recovers the wreckage of Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser.
The wreckage on the Galactic Empire side was recovered by Hiigaran Aerospace Company, a Kingdom of Dawn state-owned super-large industrial enterprise. However, the spacecraft they built lost out to other companies in terms of orders, so they began to transform into a recycling business. Although this company has lagged behind the times, it still has a strong foundation and a state-owned background, so it is fully qualified for this job.
After initial recovery, large chunks of the wreckage were largely removed. At this time, it is the turn of some privately established small and medium-sized recycling companies to come on board to salvage smaller wrecks. Sunny Recycling Company, where Carl-Kestis is located, handles these.
The wreckage they were able to salvage from the battlefield were basically fragments. The largest one is tens of meters, and the small one is less than one meter. After the salvage is completed by these recycling companies, it is finally handed over to the cleaning company to clean up the smallest debris and then drag it back for smelting.
Sunny Recycling Company relies on salvaging leftovers to maintain its business. Sometimes if you are lucky, you will recover some valuable instruments and equipment from the wreckage. These equipment can often be sold at a good price after repair. It's just that sometimes the military will randomly check their salvage results and verify the recovered instruments and equipment. If they are deemed unsuitable for entering the black market, the military will buy them back.
However, the price offered by the military is usually not high. Whenever this happens, Zhang Guomin, the boss of Carl-Kestis, will hide in the office and curse the officers, saying they are all vampires and misers.
Recently, most of the battles that broke out were in Northern Territory, so Sunny Recycling Company would often go to Northern Territory to carry out recycling business. Fortunately, with the existence of the Star Gate, transportation is relatively convenient.
From Annaj Planet where they are, first go to Dawn Star Planet through the normal hyperspace channel, and then go directly to Makito in Northern Territory through the star gate of Dawn Star Planet. The whole process does not take more than four days, which is very fast.
Carl-Kestis The current robot companion BD-1 was obtained because of certain things when we went to Northern Territory to recover the debris.
