Wenyue Middle School.

3rd class of 6th grade.

A new class in humanities and social sciences.

"Since the Blue Star Federation entered the Age of Interstellar Discovery, what is the biggest difficulty encountered?"

"The strong magnetic field environment in space that causes the spacecraft equipment to fail?"

"Space meteorites everywhere?"

"What are the physical and psychological diseases that occur during long-term astronautics?"

After citing several common situations in a row, the humanities teacher shook his head and said, "Neither, these are not the biggest difficulties. ”

"Greed. ”

"In the face of a great fortune, the insurmountable greed in people's nature has always been the greatest difficulty. ”

"No matter how united the friendly expedition team is, in front of the entire galaxy, a thought will pop up in my head: Do you want to kill all the partners around you?"

"According to statistics: 65% of the teams are divided, 48% of the teams are engaged in cannibalism, and more than half of the explorers' casualties in the Federation's more than 1,500 years of interstellar exploration history have come from black guns fired by close teammates. ”

"Some people will ask, since the resources of the universe are so large and massive, inexhaustible, why do explorers still kill each other?"

How to answer this question is the reason why you are studying the course "Humanities and Sociology". ”

That's why this course has a score of 120 in the Unified Higher Education Examination. ”

The topic brought up by the humanities teacher caused the 33 students in the class to fall into a long contemplation, eager to know the answer to this question.

The humanities teacher did not follow the topic and buried the problem in the hearts of the students and let them think for themselves.

……

On the way out of school.

"Grandpa, since the resources are unlimited, and it is impossible for a few people to occupy the entire planet, why are there so many explorers who are greedy and go to cannibalism?"

The question left in his mind in the humanities class today, Yun Xinghe couldn't help but ask the old man in his mind.

"How to say it, this question involves a lot of humanities knowledge points, and there are many image theories that can explain it, but these explanations are too professional and general, and you may not understand it. ”

"To give you a simple example, if you have a pear in your hand, you will eat this pear in your stomach, if there are ten, you will eat all the pears within three days before the pears are bad, and if there are 1,000 pears, you will want to sell some of the pears. ”

"If there is a whole pear orchard, you can't eat it all, you can't sell it, and when it's ripe, most of it will fall to the ground and rot, what will you think?"

The old man in his head asked.

"I, I'll ask others to eat for free, whatever you want!" Yun Xinghe thought for a moment and replied.

"Nice boy, you know how to share with others, but if the old man asks you again, if those people who eat your pears for free think that your pear orchard is very big, so they ask you to give him half an acre of land, so that he can eat pears every year, would you be willing?"

"I ...... Of course not, the pear orchard is mine! Pears can be eaten, but it would be too much to want my pear orchard!"

"The standard answer, child, is the so-called 'pear orchard and pear' theory in the humanities, and this theory can basically explain all similar problems. ”

"If a planet is compared to a pear orchard, those explorers who come from afar should be regarded as the owners of this pear orchard. ”

"The resources on the planet are pears one by one, all of them are big and delicious, and they are forested, and a few people, dozens of people, or even hundreds of thousands of people, can't eat these pears at all, so they can only sell or give them away. ”

"But, do you see that there is a pear orchard owner who even gives away the land full of pear trees to others for free?"

"No, almost none, no matter how kind a philanthropist is, it is unlikely that he will donate his pear orchard. ”

"No!" Yun Xinghe shook his head and interrupted: "This is different, these planets are ownerless and belong to the Federation, and those explorers are not qualified to own a planet." ”

"It's true that most of the explorers didn't really have the idea of 'I'm the master here' at first, and they were all simple and great at first, and they only wanted to make a little contribution to the Federation and become a great man recorded in the history texts. ”

"But as time goes by, the planet's environment is getting better and better, and when the Federation's colonial mothership arrives hundreds of years later, will they still think so?"

"Time is the food of the monster of greed, it grows every day, and it eats the bottom line and perseverance every day......"

"Generally speaking, when the planet is remodeled for about two hundred years, the contradictions will basically erupt. ”

"With the imminent arrival of the colonial mothership, this contradiction will become more and more intense. ”

"Because, when you hold something in your hand for more than 200 years, even if you know that it is not your personal thing, it is very difficult for you to return it immediately...... Because you've put a lot of effort into it. ”

"So, don't think that your ancestor Yun Tianfeng has only encountered a few misfortunes, none of the 14 administrative stars directly under the Blue Star Federation have received the hands of the federal government through normal means, and the 11th Starfleet of the Federation stationed near the Bola Star Space City, the thousands of huge warships are the key to the Federation's stable governance on this planet. ”

"And, in the next thousand years, in order to gather resources, in the Blue Star Federation, in the process of expanding 14 directly under the administrative stars to 140 directly under the administrative stars, the means adopted are nothing more than division, inducement, blockade and war, in the process, hundreds of super families were slaughtered, triggering the rebellion of dozens of colonial galaxies, but in the end, they were completely suppressed by the expeditionary fleet of the Federation...... No matter how fiercely they resisted. ”

Yun Xinghe was stunned and muttered, "In that case, why does the Federation send those interstellar explorers to explore those habitable galaxies, or why don't they send some unmanned exploration spacecraft over and let the robots complete these tasks?"

He really couldn't understand why the Federation relied on those explorers, and why did they slaughter the families that those explorers had founded?

"You're right, since humans are so greedy? Why don't you send robots, because the greed of human explorers can cause a limited amount of destructive power, and what if robots are greedy? Even if there is a 1 in 100 million probability that a machine civilization that does not obey the Federation appears, then the price to be paid to exterminate this civilization is far greater than the extermination of human careerists. ”

"In fact, greed is not a bad thing, it is also the internal driving force of the Federation to promote foreign expansion, even if there is a little problem in the future, in the face of the Federation's far leading scientific and technological level, strong cultural centripetal force and military force enough to break all rebellions, some careerists are simply vulnerable. ”

"Even, as far as the ancient house family of the planet of Bera is concerned, will the upper echelons of the Federation not see their threat, will they be indifferent to their various actions?"

"Just look at this family, its influence in the upper political circles and the federal army, the destructive power of the Furuya family will never leave the planet of Palla. ”

Yun Xinghe's heart shook violently, and he said with wide eyes: "Grandpa, do you mean that the Federation has considered all the problems long before deciding to go out of the universe?"

"Otherwise, a person who can stand at that height can't control the greed in human nature?"

In the face of this general layout, Yun Xinghe's young heart was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Not only that, Zhou Ming also fed him a reassuring pill:

"Child, don't worry that your dreams won't come true, the Furuya family doesn't have to be afraid, I can give you a lot of options to choose from, and even, you don't need to buy that expensive ticket to other galaxies, you don't need to waste hundreds of years on the way to immigration, even if you are in Phala, you can embark on an interstellar adventure like your father. ”

"Really?"

Yun Xinghe said in surprise: "Great!"

However, after listening to what the old man said so much, Yun Xinghe's confidence was extremely sufficient, but the specific plan, where to start, he still didn't have a clue, so he could only ask the old man.

"Start by making money. The old man said lightly.

"Does my grandfather want me to find a job? But I'm only 12 years old, not yet of the legal age to work, and the shops won't want me. "The service industry in the interstellar era will still recruit some employees, and there are all robot shops in it, but no one will use it in the past.

"You go and borrow your aunt's identity card, use it, and register a writer account on the Star Century website. ”

"Grandpa, do you mean to write?" I know this, but I don't read many books, so I can't make up stories!" said Yun Xinghe, who guessed the old man's thoughts.

"Who said that you should write it, but the old man asked you to copy it! This is the simplest golden finger, do you know? Any few best-selling films in the future era are enough for you to earn tens of billions of manuscript fees!"

There are also some classic songs, film and television scripts, etc., just copy a little, take advantage of the market audience of hundreds of billions of consumers, and don't make money too simply.

"Great, thank you, grandpa!"

Yun Xinghe jumped to the next room, found his aunt, and offered to borrow an identity card.

Yun Xiaoying asked him what he was borrowing the ID card for, and Yun Xinghe said he wanted to write it!

"Just you, want to write?"

Yun Xiaoying's eyes widened, then she shook her head and said, "Come on, let's write your low-scoring Chinese composition first." ”

Yun Xinghe's face flushed, he took his aunt's hand, and said in a pleading voice: "Auntie, you can borrow it from me, and the manuscript fee you earn will be divided into one-fifth of your account when the time comes, and your one-third will be shared, will this be successful?"

"Puff~"

Yun Xiaoying was amused by him, thought about it, and still lent him the identity card, as for the one-third of the manuscript fee that Yun Xinghe said, not long after, when she saw the manuscript fee payment slip, the long list of almost astronomical amounts, which was about equal to her salary for 100 years of work in the gym, she was stunned for a while, and then cut off the first five digits, and the remaining four digits and fractions, and she took another third.

"Auntie, you are really shameless!"

Yun Xinghe wants to cry without tears, and he really wants to grow up immediately and write a book with his own writer account.
