Chapter 338 Federal Response
What are the people like?

On this issue, different people have different views.

A flock of stupid, weak sheep, tools to be exploited, little ignorant ants - so wise politicians say.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, the people cannot be bullied, the people can be used, and there is infinite power in the masses-a certain great man said so.

The people can be manipulated, they can be guided, they can be deceived. In short, the powerful can manipulate the people like a marionette, because they are really stupid - and some people say so.

But if in the interstellar era, the people have not yet formed their own judgment, they can still be easily fooled by the low-level tricks of those politicians, and they are still constantly electing second- and third-rate politicians who are eloquent but incompetent... In this era, these The public has no hope and no future.

What is the root cause of the development of Erqixing, which has been frozen for nearly 3000 years?
People's wisdom is not open.

The wisdom here does not refer to the wisdom of IQ, but the wisdom of wisdom.

The public lacks wisdom, is easily influenced by ideology, is easily incited by politicians, is easy to be caught up in some welfare policies, and is easy to make decisions that harm the collective interests based on the likes and dislikes of individuals or a small number of ethnic groups.

As a result, we can see that some small countries that are not very big are holding independence referendums every day, we can see the conflicts between locals and foreign immigrants, and we can see that populism is constantly rampant.

Even some intellectual elites who are generally considered to be "high IQ" show a level of brain damage in terms of people's intelligence, which is really surprising.

Then, what kind of "people's wisdom" can be called "enlightened", which can be said to have formed its own judgment.

Take the simplest example:

The municipal government of a certain city has a sum of money. The money has two uses. The first use can be used as the welfare of the citizens of the city, and each person will be given 100 yuan; the second use is to build a bridge for citizens to travel.

If the citizens are allowed to vote for this money and decide how to use it themselves, if they choose "Purpose 100" and each citizen is given [-] yuan as a welfare, then the people of this city can basically be regarded as "the wisdom of the people has not yet been developed".

If you choose "Purpose [-]" and build a bridge that is convenient for travel, it shows that the citizens of this city have a certain "wisdom".

The main manifestations of undeveloped people's wisdom are short-sightedness, impulsiveness, being easily led into rhythm, and falling into a state of collective unconsciousness.

The main manifestations of people's enlightenment are long-term vision, rationality, independent thinking ability, not being easily led into rhythm, and having their own judgment at any time.

Just like the Blue Star Federation, in the process of expanding the administrative star, dozens of colonial stars showed signs of rebellion, but they were all easily suppressed. There was no large-scale rebellion on any planet—even if some planets The owner of the ball promised endless benefits and tried his best to win people's hearts, but he just couldn't afford a team that was obedient.

Why is this happening?

Because the idea of ​​grand unification has long been integrated into the "people's wisdom" of these colonial planets, the vast majority of people will not follow a few dignitaries who are blinded by interests and go all the way to the dark.

Like in ancient times, it is impossible to win over a few middle-level people and then drive a group of people below to rebel. In the interstellar era, it is impossible.

The fundamental purpose of Yun Xinghe's test on Erqi Xing is to test how the "people's wisdom" of this planet is.

Has it reached an irreparable level?
As the source of all disasters, the Erqi people hated Lan Li deeply, wishing to eat her flesh, drink her blood, and torture her to the fullest. More than 99% of the people who supported and sentenced her guilty.

But in the final voting result, more than 50% of the people just chose forgiveness and forgiveness, and chose to be acquitted.

Why do so many people make decisions that are completely opposite to what they think?

Instead of choosing to release the pent-up anger and return the suffering that has been endured to the creator of the suffering.

It's really very simple to punish that woman, just press the "guilty" button lightly.

but……

Rather than punishing that woman, Erqiren is more eager to have a future.

A promising future.

Even if they don't know the two paths provided by the aliens, corresponding to the two results respectively, they can't guess the real intention of the aliens.

But they, who have suffered enough, are willing to let go of everything this time and want to have a better future.

So most of them, after a struggle, finally chose to forgive.

For the first time, the Erqi people finally showed a little "wisdom".

"Brother, the Erqi people let go of their hatred. They should be able to stay in their homeland. The road they got must be the first one, right?"

Holding her brother's arm, Yun Qiaoqiao shook it several times and said.

Yun Xinghe shook his head: "The result of the trial and the corresponding path, I haven't actually thought about it. I will make arrangements after I report this galaxy to the Federation and ask the Federation for its opinion."

"Brother! Let's give the Erqi people some hope. They are already miserable enough. Let's stop staring at their planet. Isn't there another planet in the habitable zone of this galaxy? We want that one."

Yun Qiaoqiao said coquettishly, she sympathizes with Er Qiren very much, and especially hopes that this civilization will bid farewell to suffering from now on.

"Mr. Xinghe, the Erqi people are anxious now, and they are all waiting for a result. Let's give them a happy ending, just like the ending of a good movie." Xianglan Mikoto also pleaded.

"Mr. Xinghe, stop rambling! Tell Erqi people quickly, their choice is right, they kept their homeland! They won!" Aijia Uehara patted Yun Xinghe on the shoulder hard, and said with a ten-two tone said.

The three women went out at the same time, Yun Xinghe felt a little overwhelmed, so he could only say: "All right, all right, let's do as you say."

"Yeah!" The three women clapped each other.

After 5 minutes, it really turned into a sea of ​​cheers, just as Aika Uehara described, Ear Qixing.

……

Lan Li was acquitted and released because Yun Xinghe still wanted to see her. Three days later, Luo Xin took her on board the transport spaceship and came to Feitian again.

Living area, inside the large living room.

Sitting on the sofa and drinking some tea, Yun Xinghe asked Luo Xin, "Luo Xin, what do you think saved Erqi this time?"

"they themselves."

Luo Xin said without hesitation: "They saved themselves."

"Yeah, a civilization can't solve its own problems, and wants to rely on other civilizations to help solve it. How is this possible?"

Yun Xinghe sighed, seeing Lan Li at the side from the corner of his eye, his body seemed to tremble slightly, he turned his head to Lan Li again and said: "Ms. Lan Li, you don't have to apologize to any of your compatriots, but the three-eyed person , is indeed the biggest innocent in your plan, your actions have hurt more than one civilization, and you owe the Three-Eyed Man an apology."

Yun Xinghe asked someone to bring Dr. Heng over, and placed it on the small round table in front of Lan Li.

"You are Dr. Heng? You..." Lan Li's eyes widened, a little unbelievable. It turns out that the three-eyed person is so small.

She still has an impression of Dr. Heng, because Dr. Heng is the one she communicated with the three-eyed person the most times.

She and Dr. Heng can be called "old friends" who have known each other for many years.

"Lanli, you make me very angry. You caused Zhiwei Civilization to almost go astray, but we three-eyed people have never done anything to hurt you. Why do you want to hurt us?" Dr. Heng was very angry The tone is questionable.

"I...I..." Lan Li lowered her head, speechless.

"We came here this time to punish your civilization and punish you! But..."

Dr. Heng's stern tone changed, and his tone became gentle: "I still decide to forgive you, the past is over, child, let go of all resentment, you are very tired, take a good rest, and start your new life .”

Dr. Heng's words, like spring rain and wind, hit Lan Li's heart with a rush. The warmth instantly melted her ice-like heart into a big hole. Through this hole, the influx of The rainwater poured into her shell like a walking dead, and for a moment, she felt the beating of her heart and the temperature...

Tears gushed out like spring water.

"Dr. Heng, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

This woman was crying like a child.

……

Two days later.

Through long-distance quantum communication, Yun Xinghe reported the news of the discovery of Erqi Star to the Space Exploration Bureau, and communicated with Madam President.

President Malatya is still in power. After watching the video of "Introduction to Erqixing", she opened her cherry mouth again and said in surprise: "Captain Yun, you have found another planet with intelligent life , and the level of technology that is close to interstellar... This, it has only been a few years, and you are really amazing."

"This civilization is very close to the galaxy of the three-eyed man, only four light years away." Yun Xinghe said.

"It's just that this planet, which is only one step away from the cradle, is willing to become a subsidiary civilization of the Federation? After all, they are not low-tech primary civilizations."

Malatya said with some concerns that this civilization is only one or two times away from technological explosions before it can fully enter the era of great interstellar navigation, and the fast fleet of the Federation still has nearly 200 years of voyage to reach Erqi. Near the galaxy, in case this civilization...

"Don't worry about Madam President, the three-eyed people will help us keep an eye on this galaxy. After the signing of the "Agreement on Affiliated Civilizations", they don't have the strength to tear up this agreement."

In the Yunxing River, the three-eyed people are now able to mass-produce super water droplets with a diameter of 10 meters, and the speed has also increased to 0.5 times the speed of light. In front of the super water droplets, civilizations that have not yet come out of the interstellar can be easily harvested by them.

Moreover, the current population of Erqi Star is not large, only 5 million, and it will take at least a hundred years to increase to the minimum standard of an interstellar civilization of more than 100 billion.

"In addition, this civilization may be very helpful to the Federation's interstellar development activities. They have a very special talent. They can retain most of their memories after sleeping in the dormant cabin for more than 2000 years...their brains The structure is very strange."

"Oh my god! This is an incredible talent, Captain Yun, please tell the leader of this civilization, President Malatya of the Blue Star Federation, that they are welcome to join!"

Malatya smiled and said that as the federation discovers more and more intelligent galaxies, cultural integration is better than military conquest, which has become a consensus within the Blue Star Federation.

The finishing talent of the three-eyed people and the starry sky exploration talent of the Erqi stars will play their roles in various undertakings of the Federation.

With the addition of these civilizations, it is foreseeable that the Blue Star Federation will become stronger and stronger.

　The state is not very good, let's watch it in the next chapter
