Chapter 823: Up and Down the Stars
The upper echelons of the Desatic civilization made the decision to become a vassal of the amoeba, but the lower echelons would not agree, not all races can be as united as the gatherers, and many times the location determines the idea.
Thus, demonstrations against the government's decision-making took place.
"Our future is actually going to be a vassal of another alien species? Become their slave? ”
"What about our fleet? What are our fleets doing? Not even a decent fight! What do we do with the taxes we pay? ”
"We protest! Protest against the authoritarianism of the amoeba! We want equality! We want to be free! Protest! The government needs to do something! ”
"Disasters are brought by amoeba! It is because of their arrival that our mother star is no longer safe! We should expel the amoeba by force, not become their vassal! Weak and incompetent government! ”
"You have betrayed all the Dessa!"
Because it was a march in the electronic world, the demonstrations of the Desa people seemed very 'civilized', and did not appear in the kind of smashing and looting on the earth.
However, this does not mean that such demonstrations are not powerful, but that they will only be visible after the government has taken a clear stance on their demands.
In the online world, the power of the individual will be magnified exponentially, and once the contradictions of this demonstration are too sharp and turn into an armed conflict, the government's computer terminals will be impacted.
The planetary leader stood up, and he did not explain to the demonstrators the government's helplessness in such a decision, nor did he persuade the demonstrators to judge the situation and consider the overall situation.
However, his words silenced the procession.
"Guys, listen to me."
"Radical demonstrators can stay on the planet, and the military will leave you with all the weapons you can use to try to expel a faster-than-light civilization that is technologically superior to us for an unknown number of generations."
"We weak Desas will remember your great sacrifice."
Anyone can talk about it, but who can do it with a real knife and a real gun?
In the face of a decisive technological generational gap, it is tantamount to self-defeating to drive out the technologically advanced amoeba with the outdated weapons currently in service.
The Dessa, who were carried away by the government's decision, calmed down and thought about the gains and losses.
Although they were reluctant, they were helpless, because they found that there was a huge gully between the Desa and the amoeba, and this gully was bottomless and could not be filled by population.
What's more, there is also the blow of great destruction, and it is the Desa people themselves who really can't afford to waste time, even if this star system is the home of their civilization, it will not have the slightest advantage.
The head of the planet continued, adding, "In addition, we will refund you all of the taxes in a small amount, but I also hope that you will remember that you can give up your life and give up your right to live, but you must not hinder other people who want to try to live, they have the right to live. ”
This remark instantly brought together a lot of people at the head of the planet, and there are only a few people who are really not afraid of death, who wants to die if they don't die? Of course, it is okay to have the courage to forge ahead for the future of civilization, but the problem is that the result of the failure of the endeavor is to bury the entire civilization, and who will bear the responsibility? Who can afford it?
No one can afford it, and no Desa wants to be a sinner of their own civilization.
Suddenly, a piece of information enters the electronic world of the Dessars from the outside.
"Can the Desa people on the planet hear? I've been tasked with the swarm to pick you up as a transport unit to your home planet. ”
"The way to board is the same as your spaceship, through the way of data upload, I have a computer here for your electronic brain storage."
"Don't be aside, time is precious, and if you get a blow in the next moment, you will be left behind."
The storage giants don't know about the Desians on the planet, and the electronic world is a natural barrier.
However, such an unintentional reminder of the storage giant became the last straw that crushed the Desa march.
No one wants to be left behind.
And the great destruction could come at any time, and once they were left behind, then their group of people would be the culprits who killed the Desians on the entire planet.
The storage megastructure receives data from the planetary surface matrix cities, and these are not communications, but living Desa.
Radio information is imported from the receiver into the computer enclosure.
Looking at the numbers displayed in the enclosure, the collector was puzzled for a moment and asked the planetary head.
"The number of computers is not the same as the number of people you reported, and there are Desa people left on this planet, are they not going to live?"
"The people who stay are a group of people who value dignity more than life, let's go, it's their choice." The planetary head replied helplessly.
In the entire planet's Desa society, there are still some people who choose to stay for various reasons.
"I don't understand, what is left if you die? It's so irrational. ”
This kind of behavior seems irrational in the eyes of the gatherer, especially after listening to some brief introductions from the planetary heads, such as not wanting to be far from their homeland, not wanting to see the tombstone of their deceased lover again, not wanting to see the relics of their comrades, etc., to put it bluntly, it is nostalgia.
Gatherers can't understand that these things are more important than life and civilization.
The storage megastructure began to travel faster than the speed of light, reaching its destination in a very short time, the near-orbit of the Desians' home planet.
At this time, the home star of the Desians was being enveloped by an even larger object, compared to which the home star of the Desians was as small as a grain of rice.
It's a star-swallowing megastructure that can take the Desa and their home planet into faster-than-light at any time to dodge the supernova of the Great Destruction.
At this time, on the home planet of the Dessa, the subordinates report to the planetary head of the home planet.
"Another group of people has been safely transferred, and according to the plan, they will be placed in the newly built Matrix City underground."
"Got it." The planetary head responded, and then asked rhetorically, "Where is the progress of the project to build an accelerated orbit?" How much is missing? ”
"One-fifth, the construction of the circum-equatorial acceleration orbit is not easy, especially the launch of the carrier vehicle, there are too many problems to consider, and now the time is very short, and the current construction speed is already the fastest."
"Can you build it before you go?" The planetary head asked.
The subordinate said frankly, "It depends on the specific departure time, when the big destruction strike comes, Amoeba will not hesitate to leave everything into the speed of light, if it is the time point given by the amoeba, it can barely be completed in a hurry." ”
"Although it can be safe to become a vassal of amoeba, it will also be coerced to act with them, and the next faster-than-light destination does not know where it will be in the river system, and the current launch point in the outer edge of the river system is an excellent location to break away from the river system, we can't miss it."
The head of the planet explained the importance of this to his subordinates, and then gave the order.
"You go back and see if there's another way to see if you can make it a little bit better."
"Yes."
Looking at the sky in the distance, nearly half of the sky was obscured by unnatural objects, and all the time it was declaring the terrifying power of the builder, and the planetary head let out a helpless sigh.
Above the stars, it is the supreme god of divine might.
Beneath the stars, it was a fragile worm.
