Since a long time ago, human beings have become very self-conscious, even in the space age, technology has allowed human beings to see too many mysteries beyond the home planet, and space ships have proved that what they see is not illusory, but real, and human beings are still looking for reasons to prove that they are different.

However, starting with the exposure of energy life in front of the world, the catastrophe of alien creatures, the invasion of locust fleets, and the intensifying events have knocked on the souls of human beings again and again, telling them with facts that their pride is nothing more than the imagination of the ignorant.

There are so many civilizations and races in this universe that many of them are above human civilization.

The relationship between these races and humans is like that between humans and beasts, whether they watch or prey, mainly depends on the mood.

There is a more indifferent relationship than this, like the sand and stones that can be found everywhere on the earth.

In the former type of relationship, alien creatures and leopard people have been vividly interpreted. There is no dialogue, no communication, as long as the behavior is enough to understand the other party's intentions.

Just like Xu Changqing said: If you have good intentions, you will not visit in the mode of a battleship group.

In the latter type of relationship, the foreign city-states led by Xu Changqing showed people a part.

Xu Changqing and his foreign city-states have a similar attitude towards humans as they do towards sand and gravel. The main reason for interaction is to exploit, not because of anything else.

Of course, this can only be seen clearly by those who are smart and sane enough. Most people's feelings about Xu Changqing and the foreign city-states are still very good.

Or, in other words, most people would rather believe that Xu Changqing and the foreign city-states worked so hard to resist the invasion of extrasolar civilizations because they had feelings for humans. At least affection is the main factor, not cold exploitation.

And despite this, the slap in the face of reality wakes humanity up and makes them realize their own insignificance.

Human existence, like a stone rolling down a mountain, has no special meaning, but is a natural phenomenon.

Just like an American talk show satirized environmental protection: the emergence of human beings is no different from how many trees grow on the earth, if the plastic bags made by humans really cannot be degraded, then from a macro point of view, one of the meanings of what human beings did before destruction is to leave a bunch of plastic bags as a landscape for future generations.

This kind of cognition makes human beings deeply shocked and feel very uncomfortable, and when it is refined to each individual, it is a confusion about the future and a question of their own strength.

Once upon a time, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the human spirit has reached its first peak after the widespread use of the steam engine, believing that the power of machinery and industry can change the world.

At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, it was the second climax, when human beings felt that they could chase the stars and the moon.

Until 2050, when there is a global environmental crisis, a resource crisis, civilization is about to collapse, and because of the depletion of resources, humanity may never be able to get out of the gravity well, nuclear fusion is a complete unattainable scientific hoax, a gimmick made by some people to encourage people to move forward......

Humanity is in danger of crumbling and sinking in the midst of its own doubts.

Controlled nuclear fusion, a long time coming. The new energy sources that were cheaper, more abundant, and almost inexhaustible in the eyes of the time seemed to be a shot in the arm to rejuvenate human civilization, re-emerge from the earth, develop the solar system, and govern the home planet......

However, this spirit, with a series of objective factors, gradually declined.

Humanity has found that its own spiritual mind is powerless to control a higher level of civilization.

It is very appropriate to use the word 'small wealth is peace' to describe it.

The dream is too far away, the climb is too difficult, the upper one, the extremely human minister, the wealth is endless, the lower one, there is food and drink, don't be so ambitious, ambitious, then you will live very easily.

This is what happened to the humans in this world in the years that Xu Changqing missed, at least the federal people at that time.

The Republic has gone to Mars, and the Earth has become a blue ocean.

Human rights, freedoms.

Why struggle?

Where does the sense of mission come from?

Why do you need to provide for the elderly and raise the young? Why can't everyone take care of themselves?

Why work hecticly? Why don't you enjoy life and live the life you want to live, life is too short, why bother to find sin? Earn tens of thousands of family fortunes, and what you can take away in the end is an urn, if it is the kind of ashes scattered across the river, even the box will be saved.

As a result, for many decades, the population has exploded, but there has not been much progress in the field of technology.

The Republic of Mars, because of the difficult environment and the pressure of the dark clouds of the strong enemy of the Federation, is once again like when the Republic rose peacefully, working together for decades, and completing the multi-category catch-up and surpassing the Federation in the field of science and technology.

Then Xu Changqing came, and within a few years, the bell of destruction rang.

It stands to reason that humanity should have cheered up after suffering such a major blow, right?

But in fact, it didn't, the blow came too quickly and too hard, and before it could wake up, more than half of the total population of 40 billion people died.

All of a sudden, mankind was beaten from the far left to the far right.

It turns out that we are so small and humble. Regardless of the reason, the solar system has been invaded one after another, but one thing is for sure, it has been mapped by extrasolar civilizations and is no longer safe. Let's run away, stay here or die sooner or later.

In the six months since the end of the Battle of the River of Stars, the mainstream of human thought has been this—exile.

With the departure of the New Ark and the Moon, the trend of thought reached its peak.

Over the next year, although the situation has generally stabilized, the Republic of Mars has completed two large-scale migrations outside of Operation Tinder.

These two plans exhausted the credibility of the ruling class of the republic, and the Liberal Party took the opportunity to rise, because the general situation was difficult, no one was willing to use swords and guns against their own people, so they finally completed the division of the regime through discussions, one country, two systems, and continued to recuperate under the Republican Party, while under the Liberal Party, it was to start a new migration plan, and their goal was to move more than 6 billion people under their rule.

Casual calculation, you know that it can't be done at all, just the normal reproduction population of 6 billion people every year is an astronomical number, even if it is the implementation of family planning, it will inevitably increase by more than 100 million every three years, and interstellar voyage is not a short-distance transportation.

What's more, in terms of short-distance transportation, the ship-building capacity under the Liberal Party is not as good as the Tianwei Qingyun Base two years ago, and the Qingyun Base's ship-building capacity at that time was about 7 Hercules-class transport ships in a year, carrying 84 million people.

So if you do the math carefully, you will find that the Liberal Party's promises are simply not reliable.

But people were willing to listen and believe, and so the Liberal Party began with great momentum.

On the contrary, the original Republican Party has become a minority with a population of 2.044 billion.

And Xu Changqing has fulfilled many of his commitments.

Although all the warships of the foreign city-states were destroyed in the war, Bobos did not rush to produce them, but after the fourth batch of 150 warships was issued, they were fully converted to production.

Eventually, the Aid Fleet converged with the Martian Republic's Tinder Fleet just as it was about to break out of the heliopause. After completing the integration, the new migration fleet left the solar system and entered interstellar space.

Since the locust fleet swarm was annihilated in the orbital region of Pluto, the Martian Republic did not undergo extreme tests.

Although this is a blessing for the general population of the Republic of Mars. But this also did not have the 'final trial' that could be seen at a critical moment, and as a result, the Tinder fleet of the Republic of Mars did not have access to advanced technology from the outer city-states, including the Leap Technology.

This means that they are destined to go through a long journey in the hundred-year range. Chances are, by the time they reach their destination, other human migration fleets that come in later will already have roots in their new homes or colonies for decades.

At least the Japanese did that.

It is 62 light-years away from the solar system, which is also a Proxima Centauri, much smaller than the sun, but the migration target is very similar to the earth, about 1.3 times that of the earth, with an atmosphere and liquid water, and the atmospheric structure is about equal to that of the earth in the late Cretaceous period, and the atmospheric pressure is slightly higher. The perihelion is about 76 million kilometers.

Such a planet can definitely be regarded as a bag to move in.

The Japanese sold themselves to Xu Changqing in exchange for this migration opportunity of the seed fleet.

At one time ecstatic.

As a result, Xu Changqing said, you don't have to be too happy, the jump technology will not be given to you, and you are only responsible for giving it away.

The Japanese may want to scold their mother, but in the end they still accept the conditions, Japan has a queen, what more bicycle?

This incident once caused a strong reaction, and even the Republic of Mars had quite an opinion about it.

Xu Changqing was very straightforward: "First of all, if there is a knot in grievances, there will be cuts. I asked them to kill themselves for 30 million, and they did, and from my point of view, relieved. During the entire World War II, various natural and man-made disasters, including war, and the people of the Celestial Empire also lost this amount, so I think I got back the original interest. ”

"If you have an opinion on this, it is because you are still angry, you go to scold them, and I will not carry the pot."

Xu Changqing said again: "One yard is one yard, I am relieved, and at least fairness will be there." Then, four months before the Battle of the River of Stars, the Japanese launched another internal purge, the root cause of which was to believe me, because of this purge, more than 6.5 million people died directly or indirectly. Then they offered their knees. Then I'm going to give them an explanation. ”

"So don't be envious of others, I'm already very interesting to you, basically there are no strings attached. We also know very well to each other that the price you paid for the little material or something is really nothing to me, that is, because of the early completion of the initial accumulation, it reflects the value in time, but this value is to a large extent beneficial to the whole of humanity, including you. ”

"I do love the republic of this world, but there is a limit to everything, and it will not be endless. So you have the right to be unhappy, but don't put on a face in front of me, I don't owe you anything by any measure. ”

That being said, but the outer city-states have mastered the leap technology, and it is still like a resounding slap in the face, and all the hearts and minds of the exiled people hurt.

"If we can always firmly hug this thigh, which is actually not difficult to hug, then there will be both the inside and the face, unlike now, the face is shattered, and the inside is not understood. At most, it can only be exiled, which is not the same as the success of exile, but there is a difference between "Journey to the West", God knows how the eighty-one difficulties along the way are arranged. ”

have disturbed the tide of the world, and in the hustle and bustle, another half a year has passed.

The industrial system of the outer city-states has grown so large that it has begun to take on the form of swallowing stars.

The wreckage of the locust ship made many technologies, mainly weapons, once again complete a small jump.

The transition technology has steadily entered version 2.1, and the 0.1 can be regarded as the comprehensive progress of the Leopard Man technology after digesting it.

However, Xu Changqing is more concerned about the improvement of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

The Leopard Man also uses controlled nuclear fusion, but at a higher level, mainly in the controllability and utilization of energy. After this technology is thoroughly understood, it can be said that the backyard of the solar system has been basically done.

Then a new fleet of locusts appeared.

This time, the leopard people learned their lesson, emerged from the ecliptic plane, and then steadily advanced towards the center of the sun with the eight planets as a shield. And this time there are three fleet groups, three directions, with a total of 150,000 ships, and the number of giant ships in each fleet group is more than 10,000 ships......
