At this time, Qin Guang did not know that the Chinese History Reading Club he hosted would be hailed in history as a key turning point in determining the future direction of human civilization.
The historical significance of the Chinese History Reading Club mainly includes the following points.
Through in-depth reflection and comprehensive summary, the meeting ended the infiltration and infringement of the thoughts of the fleet members by the historical nihilism that has been increasingly expanding since the unknown fleet set off and cut off contact with the empire headquarters.
It has corrected the wrong path of only focusing on professional skills and neglecting ideological work.
It re-establishes the central idea of spontaneous unity established in the history of human civilization.
It provides in-depth supplements and explanations to the freedom of both large and small, and establishes the objective fact that individual small freedom must exist dependent on the large freedom of civilization.
Through the summary of the book club, the core line of taking the reproduction of human civilization as the highest responsibility was once again clarified.
In an era of high informationization and ultra-high technology, the book club has re-clarified the sense of historical mission that everyone should have as a member of human civilization, and helped the fleet rein in the precipice at a critical moment, saving civilization, and adding to the previous turmoil and chaos. The people who died gave new life value.
People can not escape from doing wrong.
As long as mistakes can be summed up in time and lessons can be learned from them, then the mistakes will have value.
After the first stage of the book club, Qin Guang spent nearly two months working almost non-stop, painstakingly compiling his thoughts after reading "Rising at the End of the Moment".
Qin Guangxian conducted an in-depth analysis and explanation of the different psychological transformation processes of different characters in the process of each key historical detail.
He also drew on the strengths of many experts and summarized the mental journey of the Chinese nation from ordinary people to intellectuals to allocators of social resources in the past two hundred years by historians, writers and social scientists of the past dynasties.
In the end, Qin Guang completed this monumental book titled "Reflections on Reading", which is actually more than 2.6 million words long.
In fact, before Qin Guang, countless scholars had done similar things. The difference between Qin Guang and these predecessors lies in the following three points.
First, he is not a scholar in the traditional sense. His job is to be a professional soldier who climbs from the bottom to the top step by step. He has exquisite tactical thinking and comprehensive strategic thinking.
Second, his personal experience is very rich. He grew up as an ordinary person in the then prosperous and stable Traveler Galaxy, received the traditional education of the Empire, and then experienced the turbulent Battle of the Traveler Galaxy, and then went to the front lines of the Empire to deeply participate in the core area of the Civilization War. , and then commanded the fleet to leave home and travel hundreds of millions of miles, experienced a fleet civilization that was completely different from the civilization of the stars, and then participated in and dominated the ideological battle within the fleet civilization. Looking at all mankind, there are very few people who can compare with Qin Guang in personal experience, and not many people can compare with Qin Guang in personal talent. When he looks at the same thing as others, his personal characteristics will bring him a different perspective and draw deeper conclusions.
Third, in the history of human civilization, there is no period that is not worth studying, and no period of history should be abandoned at any time. For all mankind, there is only one thing that will never go out of style. It is not cryonics technology, nor hyperwarp flight, nor even fragmentation bombs, but everything that has happened in the past, which is the truth of history.
Looking at the same period of history 2,500 years ago, people will gain something, and this gain can be effective in the twenty-sixth century. Looking at it 3500 years ago, there will be new gains. When humans look at the 4,500-year-old solar system, they will have their own conclusions, which can be used to guide solutions to problems in the solar system. Looking at 4,500 years of Centaur humans, we can draw guiding ideas that can solve the Centaur problem.
No matter how long time passes or how far mankind has traveled, true history will always be the most precious wealth of civilization. The mistakes of the past can serve as a warning to the present generation, and the achievements of the past can inspire thinking. Learn from history and never go out of style. Qin Guang's reading of history and writing his reflections may seem like his personal behavior, but in fact, it is the era that Qin Guang represents that looks back on those years and reflects on himself many years later. Qin Guang's thoughts are based on the times. His eyes are not just his eyes, but the eyes of the times.
After Qin Guang completed "After Reading", he did not hide his secrets. Instead, he used it as the central teaching material and once again expanded the organizational structure of the reading club to include more middle-level members of the fleet.
Six months later, the book club organized a two-week workshop.
At this seminar, the participants had intense discussions and made in-depth use of mental deductions. They also specially requested the mastermind of the empire headquarters to assist in completing comprehensive investigations and calculations.
In the end, Qin Guang and others decided to carry out systemic reforms in fleet society.
It's time for a change.
Two hundred years ago, when the fleet set out, the total population was 150 million, and the core leadership positions of the fleet were all appointed by the empire.
This was an appropriate decision at the time. Although the population of the fleet at that time came from "all over the world", all of them were citizens of the empire. Everyone at that time knew that the Morrowind Empire was named the Empire to show that humans would break their shackles and conquer the universe. What is implemented is a true republican system. There is no emperor in the empire, everyone is the emperor, and everyone is the master.
The fleet at that time had no civilized features and was essentially a fully functional army.
But unknowingly, more than a hundred years have passed. As the first generation of crew members slowly aged and retired from the stage of history, the original simple population composition changed. The fleet leadership followed the original method of imperial appointment, and simply let the capable people occupy the place. In this way, the second and third generations can successfully come to the stage.
This seems okay, but it ignores one point. The population of the fleet has expanded to more than one billion, and it has been separated from other humans for too long, and has become an emerging civilized society.
The civilization system that was quietly born in the fleet was a standard military parliamentary system from the beginning.
After the pain of civil strife, and with history as a guide, Qin Guang and others have deeply realized the current situation of the fleet. The original system has reached the end of its useful life. If they want to successfully complete the mission, they must take the initiative to make changes.
"The preliminary work of appeasing the second and third generation members has been initially completed. Instructor Tong Ling's refusal to sleep also ensures that we will have absolute military stability in the short term."
"The first thing we have to do next is to take the things summarized in the reading group, take the "After Reading" as the basic plan, and use the available viewpoints you put forward as supplementary explanations, and regain the national history, philosophy, and pan-civilization Conceptual theoretical knowledge educational work.”
"The importance of building mental attributes must be elevated to the same level as professional abilities. It is better to allow an individual's professional knowledge level to be slightly worse than to allow his thinking to go wrong. From now on, a guidance working group will be established to comprehensively Take charge of related work. When all conditions are mature, our ultimate goal is to change the fleet system and re-enter the true republic that belongs to our nameless fleet."
"Everyone must understand that there are Solar System people, Traveler Stars, Long-Armed Stars, Cyborg Stars, and Giant Source Stars in the empire. Now our nameless fleet belongs to the human family, and at the same time we have become a separate clan. I will We call ourselves the unknown people! The only pursuit of the unknown people is to march toward victory!"
Next, the steering group re-edited the complete history textbook.
In addition to the in-depth study of "Rising at the End of the Age", the history of the world and civilization since 2049 has also become an important course.
The nihilistic history that occurred in the past nine timelines has also been completely compiled into a volume, no longer confidential, and has become a basic course in the ideological education work of the fleet.
The significance of learning the nihilistic history in multiple timelines is to allow the new generation of spacemen in the fleet to realize that the so-called right to choose life they have now is not obtained out of thin air, but is based on the sacrifice of nine generations of martyrs for at least a thousand years. basically.
In the first several timelines, humans failed to leave the solar system 2,500 years ago.
At that time, the situation of people on earth was even more desperate.
You don’t have the right to choose where you want to be born, you don’t have the right to choose which galaxy you want to go to to complete your studies, you don’t have the right to choose which war zone you want to go to, and which enemies you face.
When facing the enemy, you are also not qualified to choose whether to fight or retreat.
At that time, human beings were born with only one option: a last-ditch fight.
The sage died nine times, lost his relatives and friends nine times, and used his iron will to self-control nine timelines, and then "stole" this new future for mankind bit by bit, and only then did we have today.
But the war is not over yet, and humanity has not yet been liberated.
The new generation must be made to understand that humanity is at its last moment and history will not always repeat itself.
Humanity must not place its hopes on the help of unknown forces it has not mastered.
Every attempt must be faced as if it is the last time.
Even this time the sage made key comments before his death, thinking that this would be the last time.
If we cannot win this battle, mankind will never find a peaceful place in the universe.
Time flies to 2917, and Qin Guang is finally extremely pleased to see that more than 99% of people have passed the mental state assessment conducted by Zhinao.
In just seven years, Qin Guang has become much older.
On this day, he once again spoke to the whole ship and said so.
“The matter of continuing the human fire has been left to others.
The mission of the unknown person is to reach the center of the galaxy in exchange for an important stage victory.
If you had escaped before, our whereabouts would have been immediately exposed.
You will be pursued even more, and our mission will fail.
If you inherit our will and face the sacrifices others have made to create better conditions for you, then our mission can continue.
I want to tell you that life is not eternal, but as long as our civilization can continue to exist for one day, our memories will eventually be eternal.
Our current conditions are indeed difficult and full of dangers, but someone has to take the risks so that future humans can live in a peaceful era.
At the beginning, we could refuse the call and stay in our respective hometowns. But we, the 150 million people who have left our homes, have completely cut off contact with our distant family members. Are we stupid?
Are we stupid?
I tell you all this.
Next, the choice can be given back to yourselves.
From now on, the fleet will immediately carry out reforms and change the military parliamentary system into a fleet republic named by myself!
We will not force anyone to make any decision that goes against their will.
Tell me, what is your decision? Everyone has three days to consider, and everyone can fill in the application through their personal brain.
We have completed repairs on the Free Will ship.
Have you seen those five hundred giant ships of free will? It can take away 500 million people.
If you want to leave, you can make preparations. This time, no one will stop you. "
Three days later, an incredible miracle happened.
Today, there are nearly 800 million people in the fleet who are over the age of five and have the ability to think independently.
With such a huge number, no one decided to leave.
When he saw the statistical results, Qin Guang, who had never shed a tear no matter how many comrades he had sacrificed along the way or even if his mind was severely damaged by civil strife, was overcome with emotion and burst into tears.
The boulder that had weighed on his heart for decades suddenly cracked.
"Along the way, we are actually growing. Our technology is changing with each passing day. Every technological innovation in the past has made me feel more hopeful about victory. But there has never been a moment like this that makes me feel more hopeful. Realize with great clarity that mankind will win!"
After saying this in the whole ship's speech, Qin Guang immediately closed the communication.
Cough cough cough!
He clutched his chest and coughed violently.
He is about to turn 260 years old. He is too old. Even real-level medical devices cannot stop his aging.
Since joining the war in the Traveler Galaxy, except for a brief period of forced freezing for two or three years, he has almost never rested for a day or a second.
"General Qin, you are tired. Leave the rest of the transition to us. Have a good rest."
In the highest conference room, General Lu, who was also not young, advised.
Qin Guang waved his hand, "Of course I have to leave it to you. I will also play the role of a mascot. But I can't rest yet. I have to watch to feel at ease. Don't worry, the Long March has reached the final moment. I will definitely be able to Stand your guard for the last time."
After saying that, Qin Guang reluctantly got up and walked back to his room next to the conference room with staggering steps to receive delayed treatment.
Three more years later, on October 1, 2920, with the new leadership team, mainly the second and third generations, taking office, the top-to-bottom system reform of the fleet was declared a complete success.
On December 12 of the same year, an army of compound eyes appeared directly in front of the fleet in the direction of travel in the curvature space.
Those are billions of giant worms.
The smallest worm is 307 kilometers long and 29.33 kilometers in diameter.
It is shaped like a sandworm and has a huge mouth with multiple layers of jagged fangs.
These worms travel in the curvature space channel like sandworms in a water pipe, sometimes fighting and devouring each other, and sometimes moving and tumbling in groups like schools of fish.
It can swim freely in the curvature space without the protection of the curvature bubble layer.
This is a terrifying creature that humans have never seen before.
Qin Guang, who was dying on the hospital bed, sat up straight after hearing the news.
"We haven't had a war in almost twenty years, and now there's a big one. Get ready for battle!"
Qin Guang knew in his heart that the enemy was well prepared.
The fleet had been hiding for two hundred years, but the other party finally judged the correct direction of travel.
