However, China wants to reform, to truly unify, to form a more compact fist, and to form a more powerful civilization, but the obstacles it encounters are not just domestic!
In fact, there are still many obstacles, which actually come from abroad! The main thing is, Pearl Star Territory! Today's "loose" China has already made everyone feel so powerful and under endless pressure. If you become a truly integrated political system, that would be great!
In addition to these, there are actually two obstacles, ice civilization and lava civilization! These two civilizations 1,500 light years away actually came to hinder the unification of China? Yes, they danced happily!
To be precise, these two civilizations were the first to cause this underlying wave of opposition.
"This Pearl Star Territory is full of wild ambitions, we shouldn't keep them! It would be best to clean them all up at the beginning!" Now, the middle-aged Zhao Qingyun's temper has become even more rough. Thousands of years later, the brothers reunited on Venus.
"Hey, forget it, Old Five, it's a little too late to say this now. To be honest, I also regret it. I should have embraced all the Pearl Star Territory in my arms before expanding outward. I can only say that over the years, The success has made us a little careless." Zhang Jingyuan still looked lukewarm, sipping his tea and not knowing what he was thinking.
"How about letting Gao Chengyang on the front line lead the masters and fleet to conduct a sneak attack on the lava civilization!" Although Mu Xinghai accompanied the last one, he was now also a senior figure.
"Oh? What's the point of doing this? Will it over-stimulate the other party?" Li Changxing's eyes flashed with excitement, and it was clear that he was not as 'afraid of irritating the other party' as he said. In fact, the heart is not peaceful either.
"In my opinion, the ice civilization and the lava civilization are not incompatible with each other as we think, but are in harmony with each other.
Looking at the history of these two civilizations, there is also a special friendship.
Just like the relationship between a wolf and a deer, these two civilizations are wolves and deer for each other, stimulating and spurring each other to make progress together. But this is only apparent on the surface. When I look deeply into the history of these two civilizations, I always feel that some profound places are being covered up.
The two civilizations have a lot in common. for example. Very similar myths and legends. Very similar energy manipulation, very similar civilization development process, very similar cultural atmosphere! This is simply the front and back of a leaf!
In comparison, no matter it is the era of earth's terrestrial civilization. Or the entire Pearl Star Territory. There is no such situation; even there are similarities between various civilizations. There will also be significant differences.
There is another area that makes people doubtful, and that is the life forms of these two civilizations. Whether it is ice civilization or lava civilization, life was born in a way beyond our imagination!
I always have a feeling. The intelligent races of these two civilizations did not evolve naturally, but were created! ”
"I feel the same way!"
"Me too!"
Just as Mu Xinghai finished speaking, everyone suddenly looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"With our current capabilities, we have the ability to create an intelligent life through genetic programming!" Fang Qingshan said slowly, "Currently, Changxing and I are jointly responsible for the large-scale wisdom, life, energy and computer projects, and there have been a total of 17 projects. Launch a research project on creating life; because we feel that there is no need to conduct research on creating intelligent life, and we are not sure that we can control it perfectly.
But actually, in theory, we now have the ability to create a life and then control it genetically. Control by controlling the growth and development of endocrine, microbial colonies, cells and organs in the body! Such a method is like the method of gods in mythology, but today's technology can also do it.
Therefore, it is not impossible if there is another powerful civilization that creates two races and then lets them monitor the starry sky of this galaxy!
Do you remember the abyss civilization? According to the abyss civilization, their god unearthed the abyss civilization that was still in an ignorant state, and then gradually taught them to quickly develop into a relatively powerful, wandering interstellar civilization, and also controlled them to plunder the universe.
So look now, we have just touched the threshold of the fifth-level civilization and already have the ability to create and control one or even multiple intelligent races. It makes no sense that the legendary sixth-level or even seventh-level civilizations cannot do this. ! ”
Li Changxing tapped his fingers and spoke slowly: "Don't tell me, I suddenly have a breeding theory. Do you think this ice civilization and lava civilization are two knives under the control of advanced civilizations? They are responsible for a few square meters. Thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years of space in the universe will begin to be harvested when civilization matures, that is, when it has grown to a certain level!
Brand-new civilization, culture, scientific theories, etc. are their fruits!
Putting ourselves in their shoes, if we are determined to do this, we will 'breed' wild civilizations one by one, and then continue to absorb the development concepts of these civilizations, etc., and we ourselves will continue to increase. This method is especially suitable for civilizations that have reached a bottleneck! ”
"Damn! Lao Li, don't say such scary things!" Wang Qingwei felt shivers all over his body.
"Hey... Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing! Third brother, tell me, think carefully about whether this is possible? And there is a premise for this, that is: we ourselves can also do it! As long as we are ruthless , we can use genetic engineering to create an intelligent race ourselves, and then put it on a certain planet and wait for thousands of years to harvest it!
As far as I know, some targeted genetic drugs have been successfully cultivated.
Is there a plant called the innate fruit that has been cultivated now? The fruits harvested by then will be Qi-boosting pills! Although this is only the lowest level of elixir, we can still see a brilliant future. So, what’s so great about ‘planting’ a civilization in a good galaxy!
By extension, apply this principle to more powerful civilizations. In the entire universe, they don't even need to provide special 'seeds', nature will naturally evolve intelligent life! They have enough time to wait, wait for these civilizations to blossom and bear fruit, and then reap the harvest! "Wu Yuliang also looked a little nervous, but he had to agree with this theory.
At this moment, everyone began to feel tense; even Zhang Jingyuan was no exception.
"Okay, in that case, let Gao Chengyang fight on the front line. But this battle cannot be fought casually, and some skills must be used!" Zhang Jingyuan finally spoke. "You have to fight without being victorious. You have to fight without being defeated, but you have to show your own courage."
The people around him nodded, understanding what Zhang Jingyuan was thinking. Let’s not talk about whether there are other powerful civilizations behind the ice civilization and lava civilization. Let’s just talk about China today. It is no match for either of these two civilizations. Forced war. Most likely to fail. The biggest purpose of fighting a war is to tell our opponents that we are not soft persimmons. Don't go overboard! Not to mention, no matter what, on the surface, China and Ice Civilization are also allies!
However, things didn't seem to end there. Soon after the meeting here, a grand parade broke out throughout the solar system. The scale of the parade was so large that it spread across every planet, and even in space, there were a large number of spaceships and so on. Demonstration!
“Oppose the brutality of the government!”
"Demand real democracy!"
"Open biotechnology to extend the life of ordinary people!"
"Refuse to be insensitive and refuse to squeeze the power of the people!"
"There is no need to build a space continent, we are living well!"
……
Slogans were thrown out one after another, and the demonstration that broke out this time was so fast and violent that it seemed like overnight, the entire solar system exploded like exploding fireworks! And the influence of the parade is expanding at an unimaginable speed.
By the time the Central Empire and other relevant government departments reacted, the parade was unstoppable and completely swept through every area of Chinese civilization. As a result: the frontline soldiers had to temporarily withdraw from the defense and were in no mood to fight externally; even the academy fleet slowly floating in the starry sky docked at the nearby star system in the Chinese-controlled area, but did not dare to approach the living planets to prevent accidents.
"Hello everyone, this is the current affairs channel of the Central Empire. I am the host Li Yanyun. In the face of the raging demonstrations, today, we specially invited several representatives of the recent demonstrations; we also invited several members of the Empire's legal department , Ministry of Civil Affairs and other deputy ministers answered questions on the spot
First of all, the first citizen who wishes to remain anonymous, we call him Mr. Representative No. 1. Hello sir, the slogan of your demonstration is against the brutality of the government. So, can you tell me why?
In fact, in the eyes of many people, today's government is a very responsible government.
There are no corruption, no unjust, false or wrongful convictions, a constant-value currency system guarantees the interests of citizens, and there is a good promotion ladder in society. ”
"Hello." Only the man's voice came, "Our point of view is this.
First of all, since the founding of the Central Empire, China has entered the era of interstellar civilization; this is good, and as a son and daughter of China, we are also very proud. But here, in the process of civilization development, the government has adopted a cruel bloodline elimination system, which is the eugenic bloodline system.
I believe many people have heard of the so-called eugenic bloodline system, which means that bloodlines that are suitable for practice will be given special care, while bloodlines that are not suitable for practice are slowly being abandoned. Even hundreds of years ago, it was simply unreasonable that the empire would have the rank of noble people.
We believe that regardless of whether we are suitable for practice or not, we are citizens of the empire and should have the right to survive! ”
"Um... Sir, I have never heard that the empire has any targeted laws and regulations for bloodlines that cannot practice. It has even abolished many illegal regulations in society! It has also prosecuted many cases of discriminatory treatment!" Li Yanyun hosted the event in a leisurely manner.
"No, the country has not taken any such action, but they have adopted an attitude of indifference. We have detailed data here. A thousand years ago, 90% of the population did not have a spiritual bloodline. But now, only 20% of the population does not have a spiritual bloodline! ”
"This shows that our nation is making progress, which should be something worthy of congratulations." Li Yanyun reacted quickly and opened his mouth.
"Yes, it should be a good thing for the entire nation. But for us, it is too unfair! We have also contributed to society, have the same job and pay the same taxes, why can't we enjoy the same life? Same health! ”
"This..." The host couldn't answer for a while.
But it doesn't matter, there are officials present.
"Hello, sir, I am Li Si, deputy minister of the Ministry of Law. I will not criticize your statement for the time being. I am just speaking from a legal point of view. Legally, the country has never treated us unfairly at all, even if we I have also made a lot of efforts. I am also an ordinary person who cannot practice.
The problem of not being able to practice. From my perspective. We cannot blame the country. After verifying our identity, we can also log in to empire-related networks for free and read the same content. Receive the same guidance. But can't just can't. Innate physical reasons. I don’t have any complaints, I just want to be myself.
Moreover, any citizen in China can buy some body-building elixirs at low prices. These elixirs are sold for a few dollars in cosmic coins outside, but in China they only cost tens or hundreds of yuan in Chinese coins. Although external elixirs require extra genetic adjustment and re-research, the country is still losing money on internal elixir prices. ”
"Hmph, that sounds nice!" Representative No. 1 of the parade said in a sharp tone, "You mean it sounds nice. Then let me ask you a question, why not open up cheaper and more effective biotechnology! Especially genetic engineering!
As far as I know, in the Pearl Star Region alone, almost all biological genes have projects to extend life, and they have even achieved good results. But why don’t we have it here!
I myself once wanted to apply for a company that invests in genes to extend life, and even prepared enough funds, scientists and engineers, and related patents; but why was I directly refuted! Not to mention this, the entire society does not allow private research on any genetic engineering!
We don’t want to create any life, nor do we want powerful abilities. We just want a healthy body and a slightly longer life!
That's all! ”
Although this passage was said in a sharp and irritating tone, it caught the attention of audiences large and small.
"Hello, sir, I am Yang Fei, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. We discuss your question almost every year. However, the results of the discussion and deduction are not ideal.
Many genetic engineering companies will have great capabilities because they have cracked the gene; and if they have the ability to create, they will inevitably go astray. They will use the powerful power in their hands to change people's bodies arbitrarily.
Also, for now, no one dares to say that genetic engineering is absolutely safe. You have only seen the benefits brought by genetic engineering in the Pearl Star Region, but you have not seen the disasters brought by genetic engineering. There used to be a Morrowind Empire in the Pearl Star Territory, but its abuse of genetic engineering eventually led to its own destruction. They were destroyed by a genetically modified virus, which eventually developed into a racial virus and completely wiped out this civilization.
Later, under the leadership of the Dongsheng Empire, the power of more than a dozen countries was used to wipe out all the planets of this empire, which lasted for hundreds of years. With such lessons learned in the past, no one would dare to abuse genetic engineering now.
Countries that so-called apply genetic engineering only repair damaged genes rather than adjust genes. What they repair is the original genes.
Also, after modifying your genes, are you sure you are still a pure human? ”
"No, you are not telling the truth! Why are their lifespans on average over 200 years old, while most of ours are only 120 years old!" Representative No. 1 was a little hysterical.
"Hey, because the theoretical lifespan of our race is only 125-140 years. This is the nature of the race and cannot be changed." Yang Fei sighed deeply.
"Then why can officials of ordinary blood easily live to be 150 years old! Not to mention breaking the limit!" Representative No. 1 was still arrogant. This rhetorical question once again caught the audience's attention.
"Hey, sir, haven't you discovered why there are no corrupt officials now? Why are they all working hard? Why have those officials who have lived longer given up their titles?
In fact, there is one thing that is no longer a secret. Masters of spiritual practice or top-notch elixirs can indeed prolong life or increase health for ordinary people. However, such a method is too expensive and cannot be popularized.
Therefore, officials with outstanding political achievements can exchange their political achievements for their lives. Of course, these political achievements could actually be exchanged for a title.
According to internal standards, 3,000 performance points can be exchanged for one year of life. But most officials will never exceed 50,000 points after working hard for decades. This requires officials to work diligently and not relax.
But 50,000 points are enough to exchange for the title of third-class baron for his descendants and enjoy a lifetime of wealth.
Everything comes with a price. ”
"Okay! I can't speak for you!" Representative No. 1 was furious, "But the fact is that the number of ordinary bloodlines is decreasing rapidly. Maybe in a thousand years, bloodlines like ours will become rare animals and may enter the zoo!" < br>
Li Si: "Hey, sir, your idea is too extreme. In fact, you only see the proportion, but not the quantity. Over the past millennium, China's population has expanded from 10 billion to more than 100 trillion! The population has expanded tens of thousands of times. You see, the number of people participating in the parade has exceeded the total population of China!”
Representative No. 1: "What you said is true, but it is also true that the ratio is reduced and the life and death of ordinary blood are ignored!"
There was no conversation between the two sides for a while. It was obvious that although Representative No. 1 had some strong words, he was not talking nonsense. In fact, China is indeed in a controlled manner to reduce the proportion of bloodlines in the population that cannot practice; but it is definitely not to eliminate them, because who knows what role this bloodline will have in the future. Maybe some kind of bloodline will suddenly be invented, and then it will There will be earth-shaking changes!
"Ahem, let me say something," Representative No. 2 suddenly said, "We have always talked about democracy, but we have not achieved real democracy. Just talking about genetic engineering projects, the state's restriction of this behavior itself is a challenge to democracy. ”
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. At this moment, the number two representative also united with the number one representative. Then, before anyone else could speak, Representative No. 2 spoke again: "Also, I am not a pure human, but a hybrid of humans and elves, which is the legendary test-tube baby!"
In vitro fertilization? Mixed race? At this moment, several deputy ministers present frowned. Ministers usually don't come out to explain anything, and there is a feeling that they "cannot be changed". Usually, it is the deputy ministers and other deputies who come forward. Even if they are wrong, or if national policies change in the future, these people can still be used. It's a prevarication for "deputy position". But right now, it is also a sharp question! IVF, especially mixed-race IVF, is the most difficult to classify. This method comes from the Pearl Star Territory. After different races get married, it is difficult or even impossible for offspring to be born; at this time, genetic engineering must be relied on! Generally, with the consent of both parties, the genes of one spouse or mother are removed as the main body, and then a part of the genes responsible for appearance are copied from the other party. After reprogramming, they are injected into fertilized eggs with the main genes to cultivate offspring. Of course, in most cases, there will be two such offspring, one in vitro fertilization based on the genes of the parents. But, for now, this is obviously a very tricky example of genetic engineering! (To be continued...)
