……………… 323, In Search of Utopia (Middle) ..................

Qiu Ji looked at him quietly, she could feel the decaying aura of the old man, and she could also feel this aura in the high priest.

After thinking about it, she said calmly: "Mentor, can you tell me about utopia?" ”

Professor Leon smiled, "What do you want to know?" ”

Even if Qiu Ci didn't ask him, he originally planned to tell her, as long as the people of Utopia will always exist, the Utopian Free Territory will never disappear. He can go, he can go to find the kingdom of his dreams, because he has found a new successor who can replace his autumn words.

"I heard that the Utopia Liberty has no government, only the Senate, which is jointly governed by the ten senators?"

Professor Leon smiled slightly, nodded his head and said, "Actually, the rumors are not true, utopia does not have a government, and all decisions come from the Senate. However, there were not only ten senators in the Senate, but one hundred and eight. The Ten Elders can only be said to be the main elder, and there is a great elder above. ”

"The Great Elder is what you call the Chu madman, who led the survivors through the vast interstellar world, and finally came to the three major galaxies, and established the dream country utopia. The ten main elders are in charge of politics, military, economics, diplomacy, education, justice, security, finance, construction, and resources. The remaining elders belong to the ten main elders and cooperate with the main elders. ”

"Utopia is a soldier for all, but we never invade, we only defend ourselves, and if anyone dares to oppress us, we will let them know that freedom is sacrosanct." Professor Leon's eyes were a little hot, and he looked at Qiu Ci fixedly: "I told you that there is no god in the Utopia Freedom Collar, we only believe in the Great Elder, and we only worship the Great Elder. The eighteenth day of the lunar month of each year is the day of sacrifice. On that day. All the people of Utopia would travel in costume and crawl all the way to the sacrificial ceremony of the Senate to pay homage to the stone statue of the Great Elder. ”

What is the difference between not believing in gods but worshipping heroes?

Although Qiu Ci was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask him this question. Anyone with a discerning eye can see Professor Leon's yearning for utopia and his reverence for Chu madman, if she really dares to speak sarcastically, she is not sure that the old man will pour the crystal ball on the table on her head.

A people who do not believe in ghosts and gods but worship their ancestors.

Autumn words define utopia.

"There is no strife in utopia, no infighting. There is no deceit between people, everyone gets along with each other equally, and they are gentle and polite. What a paradise on earth! ”

Qiu Ci couldn't help but complain in his heart again: a group of robots. If people have no thoughts of self, no love and hatred, no worries and joys, what is the joy of living? Profit is the driving force of human development. If everyone is the same, who wants to strive to be superior to others? There is no **, no disputes, such a people, isn't it a walking corpse.

Of course, she still didn't dare to pour cold water on the old man's head.

"There is no high or low in utopia. All the work is done by everyone, everyone wears the same clothes and eats the same meals. Say the same thing. There is no barrier between us, everything is distributed according to needs, and the same is true for marriage. ”

"Can't even get married?" Autumn words were shocked.

"You can't say that," Professor Leon gave her a faint look, "Men and women get married, and men and women born in the same year will have a coming-of-age ceremony at the same time." The rite of passage is presided over by the patriarch in charge of marriage. He will prepare two chests, red and blue, with signs marked with numbers in them. The man and woman then choose a number plate from each other's red and blue boxes. A man and a woman with the same number on the number plate are married. ”

It's pretty convenient.

Qiu Ci was powerless to complain in his heart, so he could only think like this.

She didn't dare to imagine that such a social system, even the love between men and women was deprived, and this suffocating life actually made Professor Leon look forward to it so much?

Anyway, she would not accept such a simple and rude way of deciding where her life belongs if she died.

It's just that she doubts that this kind of social system, which seems to be democracy and has no democracy at all, can really continue to this day?

No, no choice, no difference, people are not people anymore, they are machines.

Regardless of one's talent or temperament, do the same job. There is no division of labor, no cooperation, no reward and punishment mechanism, and it is completely distributed according to demand, so how to innovate? How to develop? How to progress?

After hesitating for a long time, Qiu Ci asked slowly: "Mentor, since you are a utopian person, why were you born in the alliance and grew up in the alliance?" ”

There is a legend in the Utopia Liberty Territory that the people who belong there are not allowed to go out at will. Not even the people who inadvertently broke into Utopia have ever seen them come out.

The trajectory of Professor Leon's life is in the Alliance, where is he, and what is the situation?

Professor Leon was speechless for a long time, his dark brown skin growing pale. He first glanced at Qiu Ci, his eyes were like a wanderer's loneliness, and then he slowly said in a deep voice: "The reason why I have never seen utopia is because my parents gave birth to me in the alliance, and I grew up in the alliance because my parents couldn't find a way back to utopia. Not only me, but my parents, my grandparents as well, we are all children who can't find home. ”

Qiu Zi's hand rubbing the crystal ball stopped, and looked at him in amazement.

"More than 5,000 years ago, the Utopia Free Territory underwent a great upheaval. Countless unknown enemies have invaded Utopia, and they use the power of darkness, and their abilities are very terrifying, and their numbers are overwhelming. The people of Utopia, under the command of the military elders, bravely fought against the invaders. They boarded battleships, piloted mechs, and fought the invaders for a hundred years. ”

"Abyssal monsters?" Qiu Ci waited for his words to come to an end, and then interjected.

"Yes, it's the Abyss Monster, not only the Abyss Shadow and the Abyss Little Lord, but also the Great Lord and the Abyss Demon. The people of Utopia rely on the messengers of the gods left by the Great Elder to fight against them, and after thousands of years of operation of the entire star field, they are completely in the hands of the people of Utopia, so that they can barely resist the attack of the abyss monsters. ”

Professor Leon sighed, "It's a pity that in the end, the people of Utopia couldn't repel the enemy despite all their might. At the last moment of the war, the Senate decided to concentrate everyone on the Senator and then detonate all the planets in the entire star field. ”

"Ah, isn't that utopia ruined?" Qiu Ci was surprised, all the planets in the entire star field were detonated, who could survive?

"Not really." Professor Leon shook his head and continued: "The Elder Star is guarded by the mysterious formation left behind by the Great Elder, and the entire planet has actually been transformed into a huge space station a long time ago, and the energy shield can be completely covered, so it should be able to survive this catastrophe. At that time, the enemy attacked too fast and the timing was urgent, and many of the fleets fighting outside simply did not have time to withdraw to the Senator. As a result, the people who were fighting outside automatically stayed behind to delay the attack of the abyssal monsters, hoping that their deaths would resolve the crisis of utopia. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head with some pride in his eyes: "We, the people of Utopia, have never cared about our personal safety, we can defend our kingdom with our lives and die with the invaders." ”

Qiu Ci doesn't know what to say, in this regard, the "brainwashed" utopians are indeed admirable.

"The serial explosions of all the planets in the star field are so wide and destructive? My ancestors, who were among the fleets who fought outside, left a note describing the conditions of the interstellar explosion in one sentence: the sky and the earth were shattered, the sun and the moon were gone, and the whole world collapsed. ”

Qiu Ji couldn't imagine the scene at that time, thousands of planets exploded, and just thinking about it made people shudder.

"Because of this jade-burning explosion, the invaders should have been eliminated, and even if there were survivors, the remaining people of Utopia would be able to kill them. And the soldiers who failed to enter the Patriarch Star were basically wiped out because of this explosion. My grandfather was one of the few people who survived, and the number of other people who survived was less than a hundred.

"The blast wave of the explosion pushed them out of the Utopian Star Field, in a completely alien interstellar space, and although they survived, they couldn't find their way back. What worries them even more is that they don't know if utopia survived that interstellar explosion. They were confused and frantically looking for utopia, and after ten years, when the warship ran out of resources, they finally gave up their blank search and sat down to discuss the future. ”

Professor Leon paused, and Qiu Ji poured him a glass of water from the kettle on the table, and after he drank it, he sighed, "It was at that time that they established the Black Goat Interstellar Trading Company. Finding utopia is a long-term process, it is impossible to complete without strong capital, and it cannot be completed without a wide range of contacts, and the original intention of Black Goat Company is just to let them find their way home. But they were also worried that Utopia would be destroyed in that explosion, so the legend about Utopia Freedom was deliberately spread by them, and it was gradually falsely claimed to be another galaxy, alongside the three major galaxies. ”

"That's why the legend of Utopia Liberty began more than four thousand years ago, when the Black Goat Interstellar Trading Company also appeared. My grandfather and the others began to spread the message of the Utopian Freedom Collar in the three major galaxies, hoping to find more surviving people, and also hope to be discovered by the people of Utopia and bring them home. Also, even if utopia is destroyed by that explosion, as long as the legend continues, utopia will never disappear, and it will always remain in the hearts of all the people of utopia and others. ”

Qiu Ji originally thought that the legend of utopia was a shocking big lie, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in it. Looking at Professor Leon's old cheeks, she couldn't help but sigh heavily when she thought of the group of utopian people whose ancestors refused to give up the search for their homeland.
