In a world that claims to be democratic and free, a world where it is written in the code that everything belongs to the citizens.
In the end, it is only a few people who decide everything.
Is such a world really fair and reasonable?
Some people will say that when the number of people reaches a certain level, the party with more people does not necessarily mean that it is correct. Therefore, the best way is to elect some smart and fair people to act as representatives. to make final decisions on important matters.
Such a representative system is recognized by the majority of people and does not lose its fairness and correctness due to the lack of votes from many people.
In fact, after human society has developed to a certain stage, most of them adopt this "electoral" system.
Essentially, this does guarantee a certain level of fairness and correctness, but like so many things.
Some things, as you do them, lose their original essence.
Just like a country that was once established with lofty ideals, it eventually fell apart due to reasons that no one had ever thought of before.
The sentiments of the predecessors were so noble and selfless, but when later generations took advantage of the coolness, they were shattered due to corruption.
History is like a wheel that keeps moving forward. You can see everything that has happened in the wheel's prints.
But humans never learn lessons and make the same mistakes again and again.
The Hongling Empire's first expedition into space ended in an extremely tragic atmosphere.
Perhaps at this time, no one would have thought that in just a few years, the Red Ridge United States would go to war again.
This time, the scale and number of people was obviously larger, more numerous, and more advanced.
People are very optimistic about this expedition, and they believe that this time it will be successful.
All the people in the Hongling Empire were immersed in joy, and the entire country was optimistic to the extreme.
However, what they didn't know was that compared to the first expedition, this time there were many more factors.
These factors are subtly affecting this new interstellar colonial empire.
Those who are still shouting for democracy and freedom will soon be reduced to reserve soldiers who are no different from slaves.
The rise of a powerful interstellar empire must be accompanied by bones and flesh.
These blood and bones are not just those of the invaded civilized people.
"So what you're saying is that the three people who survived that time were actually a key branch of the Hongling Empire? A branch that moved from a purely technological civilization to a dual civilization of technology and high martial arts?"
Lin Zhiyang nodded lightly.
"You can say that."
"Is it because something happened to those three people?"
According to Lin Zhiyang, Li Yi could naturally think of this.
After all, because alien creatures mutate, this is the level that human imagination can reach. He doesn't even need to think much, he can guess it naturally.
"You can also say that"
This time, Lin Zhiyang did not answer straight away. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before giving the expected answer.
"Why do you hesitate?"
"Shouldn't I hesitate?"
Lin Zhiyang was obviously taken aback. He didn't expect that this partner was quite sensitive.
"There are some plot points in this kind of thing. To be honest, if you didn't hesitate, I probably wouldn't have asked such a question. What do you think?"
Li Yi frowned and said solemnly.
Lin Zhiyang was silent for a while and nodded in agreement.
"You're right, I hesitated, but the history books only told me things that you can guess. As for what happened, maybe only the parties involved know. Maybe this time if we If the plan is completed, there is still a chance to meet one of them."
"ha"
Li Yi thought he heard wrongly.
"If I remember correctly, this must have happened almost a hundred years ago."
Lin Zhiyang nodded.
"You remember correctly, otherwise how could I have read these secrets from history books? As time goes by, these things have passed the ban on understanding, and I can read them from historical archives."
Li Yi glanced at Lin Zhilang in surprise, but he was mainly looking at the other person's appearance.
To be honest, this classmate Lin does have the same appearance characteristics as him within the system of the great Eastern countries.
Mainly because some of the words he just said were too similar to a certain country he knew.
There is actually such a system of lifting the ban. I don’t know if the first group of people in the Honglin Ridge Empire have anything to do with the blue planet.
It's not right, it's not possible.
Both the resources and the environment here are much better than the original Blue Star.
Although the climate is much worse than that of Blue Star, after all, it is a chosen place like Blue Star, a place suitable for biological survival, but it is indeed far worse.
This also causes the people here to work harder than the people on Blue Star.
There is no way, the environment is much worse, if you don't fight, you will die.
Everyone is afraid of death. If you want to survive, you must fight.
"So you're saying those three people have lived since then?"
Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
Long life is a beautiful blessing that Blue Star humans always like to talk about.
The reason why it is a blessing is that it is really difficult to actually do it.
This is determined at the cellular level.
Since the birth of human beings, cells have been dying. After a certain age, cell division will completely stop. After that, there will be no new cells, only constant death. At that time, human beings will stop. The growth phase begins towards death.
The key is that this time is not long. In fact, humans stop the growth phase from the moment cells stop dividing and no longer generate new cells.
Here is a word that everyone in Blue Star is familiar with.
The end of adolescence.
Yes, for a short period of time, after that, the cells stopped dividing and began to die continuously until they died.
Research has found that if no factors affect the health of cells during this process, the theoretical maximum life span of humans is only 120 years.
That is already theoretical, but with the fragile bodies of Blue Star humans, how is it possible that in the past few decades, there has been no behavior that did not endanger the health of the cells in their bodies?
At least for now, this theoretical lifespan is always just a theory. No one can achieve this without any external intervention.
Seeing Lin Zhiyang's affirmative nod, Li Yi thought of a concept that only existed in China at that moment.
Cultivation.
In particular, he also thought of his Immortal Book, which had never seen any movement.
After thinking for a while, he found that he didn't have any clues, and it was not the time to think about it in detail. Li Yi did not dwell on it anymore, but changed the topic.
"Okay, none of this is important. You know, I have to go to the imperial capital for some reasons. If you have connections there, it's best to borrow them. Well, it's best to be someone who doesn't know how to do it. There’s nothing better than hurting you.”
Lin Zhiyang waved his hand when he heard this.
"I know what you mean. There is one. It's because of her that I can talk to you here now. However, I'm not sure whether she will help, or simply report you directly. I can ask someone to take the lead. , but whether she will help you or not depends on your luck."
Li Yi was surprised.
"The one you are talking about is not the...goddess you are talking about, right?"
Lin Zhiyang nodded firmly.
"Yes, that's her."
...
At this time, we were in a high-end residential area in the imperial capital.
Catherine was sitting alone in front of the large balcony, staring at a pot of green plants that looked very ordinary.
It was a pot of green plant that was said to have the ability to purify the air. It was called duck palm tree. This plant could be seen everywhere in the lowest areas of the imperial capital and was among the cheapest green plants.
The young girl Catherine is a member of the Waldford family, a privileged class in the imperial capital, and is also the apple of the eye of the head of the family, Johnson Waldford.
Logically speaking, such a cheap plant should not appear on the balcony of the eldest lady's boudoir. Even the servants who take care of Catherine would disdain such a cheap plant and would kick it if they saw it. The flipping kind.
And the reason why such a lucky green plant can stay openly on a balcony where just one leaf is worth countless times more than the whole pot is because of the person who gave it to him.
Catherine stared blankly at the pot of duck palm tree, and immediately thought of the original person.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on the beautiful face, although it quickly disappeared and was replaced by deep worry.
where have you been
How are you?
I miss you so much, you know?
Forest.
