What are the people like?

Different people have different opinions on this issue.

A herd of stupid, weak sheep, a tool to be used, ignorant and insignificant ants – says a shrewd politician.

Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, the people cannot be bullied, the people can use it, and the masses contain infinite power - a certain great man said.

The people can manipulate, they can guide, they can deceive, in short, the skilled can manipulate the people like marionettes, because they are stupid – and there are people who say that.

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

What is the fundamental reason for the development of the Erqi Star to freeze for nearly 3,000 years?

The wisdom of the people has not been opened.

Wisdom here does not refer to the wisdom of intelligence, but the wisdom of wisdom.

The wisdom of the people is insufficient, they are easily swayed by ideology, easily instigated by politicians, easily trapped by some welfare policies, and easy to make decisions that harm the collective interests according to the likes and dislikes of individuals or a small number of ethnic groups.

As a result, we can see that some small countries are holding independence referendums every day, we can see the conflict between locals and foreign immigrants, and we can see that populism is constantly rampant.

Even some intellectual elites who are generally considered to be "highly intelligent" have shown a surprising level of brain-dead in terms of people's intelligence.

So, what kind of "people's wisdom" can be called "civilized", which can be called the formation of their own judgment.

Here's the simplest example:

There is a city government that has a sum of money, and this money can be used for two purposes, one is to give 100 yuan per person as a welfare for the citizens of the city, and the second is to build a bridge to facilitate the citizens to travel.

If the citizens are allowed to vote and decide the use of this money, if they choose "use one" and each citizen will receive 100 yuan in benefits, then the people of this city can basically be identified as "the people's wisdom is not opened".

If you choose "use 2" and build a bridge that is convenient for travel, it shows that the citizens of the city have a certain amount of "wisdom".

The main manifestation of the undeveloped wisdom of the people is short-sightedness, impulsiveness, and being easily led into a state of collective unconsciousness.

The main manifestation of people's wisdom and enlightenment is long-term vision, rationality, independent thinking ability, will not be easily led to rhythm, and at any time, have their own judgment.

Just like the Blue Star Federation, in the process of the expansion of the administrative star, there are dozens of colonial stars, and there are signs of rebellion, but they are all easily suppressed, and there is no planet, and there is a large-scale rebellion - even if the owners of some planets promise endless benefits and try hard to win people's hearts, they just can't pull a hardcore obedient team.

Why is this happening?

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

Imagine that in ancient times, it is impossible to win over a few middle layers and then drive a group of people to rebel at the bottom, in the interstellar era.

The fundamental purpose of this test conducted by Yun Xinghe in Erqi Star is to test how the "people's wisdom" of this planet is.

Is it irretrievable?

And as the root of all disasters, the Erqi people hate Lan Li to the core, eager to eat her flesh and drink her blood, torture her enough, and support the people who convict her, absolutely more than 99%.

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

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

Instead of choosing to release the anger held in his heart, he returned the suffering he had endured to the sufferer.

If you want to punish that woman, it's really very simple, just press the "guilty" button lightly.

But......

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

A promising future.

Even if they didn't know that the two paths offered by the aliens corresponded to those two outcomes, they couldn't guess the true intentions of the aliens.

But they are fed up with suffering, and this time they are willing to give up everything and have a good future.

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

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

"Brother, the Erqi people have let go of their hatred, they should be able to stay in their homeland, they get the way, it must be the first way, right?"

Holding his brother's arm, Yun Qiaoqiao shook it several times.

Yun Xinghe shook his head: "The result of that trial, corresponding to that path, in fact, I haven't thought about it, it's better to wait for me to report this galaxy to the Federation and ask for the Federation's opinion, and then make arrangements." ”

"Brother, give the Erqi people some hope, they are miserable enough, let's stop staring at their planet, isn't there another planet in the habitable zone of this galaxy? ”

Yun Qiaoqiao said coquettishly, she was very sympathetic to the Erqi people, and especially hoped that this civilization would bid farewell to suffering from now on.

"Xinghe-kun, the Erqi people are nervous now, they are all waiting for a result, let's give them a happy ending, just like the end of a good movie. Xianglan Mikoto also pleaded.

"Xinghe-kun, don't be verbose! Tell the Erqi people that they made the right choice, they kept their homeland! They won!" Uehara Aika patted Yun Xinghe on the shoulder and said in a tenth-to-mid tone.

The three women went out at the same time, and Yun Xinghe was a little big, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, do what you say." ”

"Yay!" the three women clapped their hands at each other.

Five minutes later, as Uehara Aika described, the ear of the star turned into a sea of cheers.

……

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

Living area, inside the large living room.

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

"Themselves. ”

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

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

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

Yun Xinghe asked Dr. Heng to be brought over and placed on the small round table in front of Lan Li.

"Are you Dr. Heng?" ...... you" Lan Li's eyes widened, a little incredulous, it turned out that the three-eyed man was so small.

She still has an impression of Dr. Heng, because Dr. Heng is the person she has communicated with the Three Eyes people the most often.

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

"Lan Li, you make me very angry, you hurt the Zhiwei civilization, and almost went astray, but we three-eyed people haven't done anything to hurt you, why do you want to hurt us?" Dr. Heng asked in a very angry tone.

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

"We're here this time to punish your civilization and punish you......!"

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

Dr. Heng's words, like the rain and wind in spring, hit Lan Li's heart, and the warmth melted her ice-like heart into a big hole in an instant, and through this hole, the influx of rain was injected into her walking corpse-like exorcism, and in an instant, she felt her heartbeat and felt the temperature......

Tears poured out like a spring.

"Dr. Heng, I was wrong, I was wrong......"

This woman was crying like a child at this time.

……

Two days later.

Through long-range quantum communication, Yun Xinghe reported the news of the discovery of Erqi Star to the Star Exploration Bureau and communicated with the president's wife.

It is still President Malatya who is in power, and after watching the video of "Introduction to Er Qi Xing", she opened her cherry mouth wide at this time, and said with a look of surprise: "Captain Yun, you have found a planet with intelligent life again, and the level of technology that is close to going to the stars...... It's only been a few years, and you're amazing. ”

"This civilization is very close to the Three-Eyed Galaxy, only four light-years away. "Yunxing River Road.

"However, is this planet, which is only one step away from coming out of the cradle, willing to become a subordinate civilization of the Federation? After all, they are not a low-tech primary civilization. ”

Malatya has some concerns, this kind of civilization only needs one or two technological explosions to fully enter the Age of Interstellar Discovery, and the Federation's fast fleet, with nearly two hundred years of sailing, can reach the vicinity of the Erqi Galaxy, in case this civilization ......

"Don't worry about Madam President, the Three-Eyed people will help us look at this galaxy, after the signing of the Affiliated Civilization Agreement, they did not have the strength to tear up this agreement. ”

Yunxing River Road, now the Three-Eyed Man has been able to mass-produce super water droplets with a diameter of 10 meters, and the speed has also been increased to 0.5 times the speed of light.

Moreover, the population of Erqi Star is not large now, only 500 million, and it will take at least a hundred years to increase to the minimum standard of interstellar civilization of more than 10 billion.

"In addition, this civilization may be very helpful to the Federation's interstellar exploration activities, they have a very special talent, they can still retain most of their memories after more than 2,000 years of dormancy in the dormant pod...... Their brains have a very peculiar structure. ”

"Oh my God, this is an incredible talent, Captain Yun, please pass on to the leader of this civilization, President Malatya of the Blue Star Federation, and welcome them to join!"

Malatya smiled, as more and more intelligent galaxies are discovered by the Federation, cultural integration is better than military conquest, which is a consensus reached within the Blue Star Federation.

The Three-Eyed Man's talent for finishing and the Ear Strange Starman's talent for exploring the starry sky will all play their role in the Federation's various undertakings.

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