Chapter 808 About the Operation of Supernatural Utopia and Sequenceism I
The day's work is over, and the students in the courtyard gradually return from their respective positions.
The air is filled with a kind of tranquility after busyness.
Those who work in various areas, farmland, mine caves, power plants, and urban construction areas have put down their tools and begun to gather towards the common catering area.
This is where the courtyard originally exists, and it is called the Temple Tower.
This area is much more spacious than any traditional canteen or restaurant.
There are tall columns and transparent metal walls around it, which brings a sense of futurism and does not lose the unique natural atmosphere of the courtyard.
The ceiling is soaring, simulated moonlight sprinkling through the huge transparent dome, illuminating the entire hall, soft light and the light on the dining table.
In the center of the hall, there is an extremely wide dining table that can accommodate almost 300 students to dine at the same time.
The table is filled with food, colorful and fragrant.
Everyone has their own position and is arranged in an orderly manner. Although there are many people, the atmosphere in the hall is not a trace of noise, but instead has a wonderful sense of stability.
In the middle of this dining table, the young man with blond hair and golden eyes smiled and talked to the students.
Unlike the leaders of other places, Xia Xiu did not stand tall. He sat at the table with the students, and in front of the plate was a bowl of warm soup made of unique plants in the courtyard. , exudes a faint fragrance.
Xia Xiu wore clothes when she was with the students, which was different from the serious and majestic black windbreaker formal wear in her previous impression.
On the contrary, his clothes were simple and simple.
He was wearing a white linen robe, with no unnecessary decoration on the body, and was extremely simple; and outside him, he was covered with a simple loose long cloth surrounding his handsome and upright body.
There are only simple sandals under his feet, with simple colors that complement the white of the robe.
After the students carefully observed, they discovered that in the earthly courtyard, their principal, Hugh Abraham, often dressed up in this way.
In fact, only two characters often wear such simple dresses in the courtyard.
One is the principal, and the other is the ancient Site.
However, the ancient dress is slightly different from the style of the principal in the subtleties, while other courtyard staff, whether they are the academic director or Tours, who is known as the Prime Minister of the Administration and the Vice President of the Court.
They all wore more formal and sophisticated clothing, demonstrating their respective powers and responsibilities.
This outfit also seems to be a symbol of a certain identity.
I heard that sword holders in the Kingdom of Heaven often have such simple and simple clothes, which are not only for comfort, but also a sign.
Mu, the third sword-holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, often dressed up in this way, and under normal circumstances, other angels would avoid wearing the same clothes as this kind elder.
——This is a certain default rule.
It's like in some ancient countries that they each have their own specific national costumes.
Usually, everyone can wear it.
However, in certain specific occasions, it is not something that everyone can wear.
On specific occasions, only those who are truly at the peak of power can dress up like this.
Even the people wearing this dress are distinguished from each other, and only some high-level figures can wear the same clothes on the same occasion.
Now, the students have been busy all day, sitting tired but contentedly at the long table, dining and talking to each other, and in this lively atmosphere, there is a special tranquility and focus that attracts the Every pair of eyes.
That is where the principal is, and he will always be the focus of students' attention.

Usually at this time, it is the conversation between the principal and the students.
Xia Xiu’s concept exchange with students is generally carried out according to the questioning method. It is not just a question and answer, but does not give an answer directly, but guides the other party to think through a series of in-depth questions. The question is usually a layered question. Levels progressive.
This method is not to "tell" the other party the correct answer, but to help them discover the answer themselves.
Unlike the previous daily life, the atmosphere of the dining table this time seemed particularly solemn, especially the two students sitting together.
—Joseph Gardner Swift.
——Mikhail Tukhachevsky.
The two of them are the few students who often ask questions to the principal. Most of them are awe of the principal, so they always ask few questions, and only these two people often ask questions.
Although the two sat not far apart, they still didn't have much conversation.
Joseph Swift is a descendant of a typical Edish Federalist elite family. He has a pair of indigo blue pupils, a high nose, bright lines on his cheeks and chin, and a head of golden middle-length hair .
As the most typical Edise, Joseph was instilled with a sense of superiority and a strong individualism since childhood.
Joseph's father was a well-known entrepreneur and his mother was an active member of the political circle.
Living in this environment since childhood, Joseph was exposed to the forefront of politics, science and society early on. Although he was not in a hurry to engage in a political career, his family background always gave him a sense of confidence. A sense of superiority.
In his eyes, the world is full of competition, and only by constantly moving forward can we have a place on this stage.
Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who was sitting opposite him, was a typical Eastern Olegin youth.
These Olegin people living in the Far East have slightly yellow and white skin, one short head, a pair of big black eyes, slightly double eyelids, lower nose bridge, high cheekbones, and body robust.
He was born in an ordinary working family, and his family did not have any prominent background. His parents were small employees who worked diligently in the coal mine village of Oreting Mobile City.
Olesting is a country that emphasizes collectivism and the state-dominated economy. Because of the numerous natural disasters, their social thoughts always emphasize social responsibility, collective cooperation and the consciousness of dedication to the country and the emperors and the heavens. form.
Tukhachevsky was influenced by this collectivism since childhood, so he was always full of a sense of responsibility that was mixed with loyalty and awe.
However, this sense of responsibility was deeply torn apart under the impact of natural disasters.
As the natural disaster collapsed, it was easily abandoned by the people of the moving city.
The urban area where the coal mine village is located is directly separated and placed on the road to natural disasters.
When he witnessed his hometown, family and life as he knew was ruthlessly abandoned, the collapse and impact of his heart almost gave him the country he was loyal to and the class in that huge machine. Deep enough...understanding.
At that moment, he realized how deep the gap between the ideals and reality he believed in was.
It was also at that moment that Tukhachevsky's worldview completely changed, and he began to understand that loyalty and responsibility alone could not bring about any change.
——Survival is the most basic need.
Fortunately, the [Mobile City Utopia] of the Kingdom of Heaven took over the fate of him and the village in the disaster, giving them the opportunity to stand up again.
Although these two people come from completely different backgrounds, they have intersections in this courtyard due to the big name of the admissions director.
Yes, they are two of the nine students who hope to be close.
At this moment, they are only a few meters apart, but it seems they are separated by two worlds. The three-day acquaintance did not allow them to have any substantial connection. Although there were several brief greetings, the two never really collided in thought.
The two have not yet established a deep friendship, and more often they have their own ideas and doubts in their hearts.
Especially in the past few days, although both of them have actively asked questions to the principal, they are more curious about the details.
The questions about the operating model in the courtyard do not involve too many profound ideological collisions.
Today, the atmosphere is different.
When Xia Xiu walked into the restaurant, his eyes did not rush to stay on any student, but swept across the entire restaurant and looked at every student with a smile.
This kind of gaze is not just about attention, but about a meaningful contemplation.
He seemed to be waiting for something?
Or thinking about something?
Joseph and Tukhachevsky almost subconsciously felt this.
At this time, Joseph, an Edishite, put down the knife and fork in his hand, frowned slightly, and a premonition arose in his heart:
"Today, it seems that there is something different. The principal's eyes are not just patrolling as usual. Today he seems to be waiting for their questions."
Similarly, Tukhachevsky also stopped. His eyes flashed as he was eating, and he obviously noticed this.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
This subtle change filled his heart with doubts and expectations.
They looked at each other at the same time and tacitly put down the tableware in their hands.
Both of them are very keen.
Just as various thoughts arose in the minds of the two, Xia Xiu noticed them.
The blond young man in a white robe raised his wine glass, smiled slightly, and glanced at them.
As he moved, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed quietly, as if the entire space had frozen in this moment.
"Joseph, Tukhachevsky."
Xia Xiu's voice was neither anxious nor slow, but it clearly reached the ears of the two.
"If you have any questions, just ask them."
Joseph and Tukhachevsky's heartbeats were almost synchronized, and he felt the oppression and expectation from the principal, as if he was standing. At a crossroads, I can't look back or wait any longer.
Today, at least today...
They will become representatives of the courtyard students and ask questions to the founders of the courtyard.
They exchanged glances with each other and Joseph took a light breath, ready to take that step.
Joseph Swift put down the tableware in his hand, frowned slightly, and his eyes turned into the distance through Xia Xiu. It seemed that after careful consideration, he finally decided to break the silence. Atmosphere. His voice was low and clear, with a hint of seriousness: "Principal, I have been thinking about a question.
What is the real purpose of the courtyard?
Or, what is your real purpose?
We know that the utopian program of heaven clearly mentions——”
He paused, took a deep breath, and continued:
"Program 1: Eternal The gods who survived Terra.
Program 2: Eradicate all disputes within Terra with absolute force.
Program 3: All power belongs to the kingdom of heaven.
The above can be summarized as the general program - establishing a utopia belonging to mankind and leading mankind to spiritual heights.
Since you have chosen the courtyard as a means, does it mean that these programs are the ultimate goal?
But at the same time, at the beginning of the establishment of the courtyard, you defined two core contradictions..."
He paused, his eyes swept over the classmates around him, as if he was Repeat each sentence:
"Terra core contradiction one: the long-standing time lag problem between technological change and social change.
Terra core contradiction two: how humans maintain a balance between expanding knowledge and the use of this knowledge. "
Joseph immediately smiled and his eyes were sharp: "So, principal, as a student, I dared to ask:
You are fighting for these utopian programs , or do you want to develop personal power and compete for the position of world supervisor?
Or, in the resolution assembly, did you intend to form a situation that is set in one and monopolize the power of the kingdom of heaven? "
Xia Xiu was not surprised by the question, and his gentle smile did not disappear.
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, as if thinking about it How to respond to this challenging question.
"If you look at it from your perspective," Xia Xiu's tone was calm and profound, "maybe I should answer: there are all parts. "
"——Not knowing yourself is the greatest misfortune. ”
"I know what I want and why I am struggling.
People who seek good will do good deeds first; those who seek joy will suppress their blood;
If you want to drink good wine, you must Squeeze ripe grapes; want to see miracles, increase your confidence."
"The true ambitious are not those who pursue power, but those who know how to obey the truth.
I am not Come for absolute power alone, not just to realize the program of the kingdom of heaven.
My goal is to find a higher truth, a truth that pushes mankind to spiritual heights. "
He paused and looked into Joseph's eyes, with a deep and peaceful look: "And in this process, power is nothing more than a tool, and the utopian program is nothing more than one of the paths , the ultimate goal is to transcend these and truly understand the subtle relationship between mankind and heaven - to find that eternal truth. "
He put down his glass and turned to the other students on the dining table: "Each of you is looking for your own answer.
Your questions may be the key to the truth.
No one can force you to accept a view. "
"For me, the utopian program of heaven is not a simple goal, but a gradual progress.
In this process, any ideal realization needs to be paid, and the manipulation and arrangement of power is required.
And for this ideal, any means will be tried, and any choice may become part of the road. ”
"Look at the humans on this land, they stand on the brink of destruction, and the crystal sky is shrouded around Terra.
My comrades are isolated and suffering from civil strife, famine and plague. , the threat of alienation and chaos, the countries of Terra are constantly intrigueing.
I have had enough of the eye and stupid behavior of the great powers, the noise and provocation of the alien races, and the gods' opposition Humans are free to play.
If those who possess power cannot be responsible for the status quo and cannot let humans move to greatness, let them take the hand at the helm away!
——The World It's theirs, but it's ours."
