Chapter 795: You have to call me Grandpa
The process of the birth of the Gemini civilization is a process of constant competition and compromise.
In a way, the system of the Gemini civilization is strikingly similar to that of a country on Earth.
The two races are like two political parties in one country, if they want to gain a greater voice and survival power within the civilization for their own races, they must continue to develop and strengthen themselves, and the losing side will eventually become a vassal of the other side.
This peculiar multiracial competition system has brought strong vitality and vitality to the Gemini civilization, allowing them to develop a brilliant interstellar civilization in a very short period of time, showing the superiority of its system.
However, while gaining strong internal momentum, this competing system has also laid a root cause side effect, that is, sharp internal contradictions.
Family conflicts, factional contradictions, and ethnic contradictions, the internal conflicts of this civilization are more intense and turbulent than normal civilizations.
On weekdays, this kind of contradiction can be forcibly suppressed, and even form an overall healthy competition, mainly relying on three main factors.
The first is to "ensure mutual destruction"!
In the process of mutual integration, the two clans have become a complex situation of you and me, and I have you, and both sides have maintained a basic balance of military strength.
Whichever side wants the east wind to prevail over the west wind, it means that you may need to endure the embarrassing situation of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 1,000 to yourself.
It is not impossible for a civil strife to fall apart or be sent back to the Stone Age.
This makes it difficult for either side to resort to force at will.
The second is external pressure, that is, the challenge from "aliens".
Throughout the history of Gemini, there is a very obvious correlation between the upward and downward curve of internal contradictions and the degree of threat from external forces in the corresponding period.
To put it simply, when there is an enemy outside the door, we join forces to fight, and when there is no enemy, we close the door and continue to fight by ourselves!
Finally, there is the "Council of the Twin Stars".
The joint parliament of many families, chaebols and military men is like a huge combination of interests, coordinating the interests of both sides, promoting the integration of the two sides, and forcibly suppressing all discordant voices.
The civilized environment of racial unity is their "political correctness".
Alsace was rumored to have been assassinated by the Sea Clan, but in the end, it was not done, but it was only handled internally and the exchange of interests was a political compromise in this environment.
In reconciling the internal contradictions of the Gemini and balancing the interests of all parties, the role of the Gemini Council is undoubted.
In summary, the unity of the two communities requires "deterrence by force", "external pressure" and a "coalition government" overhead.
However, for the Gemini branch of the Lost Lands, with the closure of the wormhole, the foundations of the unity of the two races were all but wiped out overnight!
The loss of contact with the parliament caused the emigrated Gemini to lose their nominal ruler in an instant.
After exploration, this rich "Lost Lands" galaxy group is completely isolated from the world, and has not yet undergone any development of virgin land, there are no alien civilizations nearby that can pose a threat, and the external pressure is almost zero.
The only remaining constraint is "deterrence by force."
After the wormhole was closed, the immigrants who were in chaos and panic naturally entered the state of "military management" according to the "Emergency Plan for the Twin Stars Exploitation Regulations", and the commander of the Pioneer Corps, who was responsible for the protection of the immigrants, became the top person in charge here.
At first, the two sides can rely on the power of inertia to cooperate sincerely and try to reopen the wormhole.
However, technological breakthroughs did not happen overnight, and they also lacked top scientific research talents and scientific research equipment related to wormholes, and what even the Gemini Mother Civilization could not do, they naturally ended up in vain.
As time passed, everyone almost despaired.
Eventually, they had to abandon their illusions and begin to thrive in this rich group of galaxies on their own, trying to replicate a ruling structure similar to that of the United Council.
However, the new rulers, with the military as the main force, clearly lacked the most crucial political wisdom with "compromise" at its core.
In the process of forming a new government, irreconcilable contradictions finally broke out between the two supreme commanders, and finally parted ways.
After more than 100 years of development, the two families divided this rich group of galaxies with the "third galaxy" near the wormhole as the boundary.
The two come from the same source, coupled with the vast space for survival and development here, the two races can still be safe and sound at the beginning, and they each play "interstellar voyage", and the population has also grown explosively.
However, as the territory was completely divided, the friction between the two sides began to increase.
In the process of competing for key resources, it is inevitable that there will be a scramble, and the conflict that broke out as a result has led the two tribes further and further apart, and eventually evolved into an arms race between the two races.
The "third galaxy", which serves as a "buffer zone" between the two sides, has become the most critical "boundary dispute" that the two sides are arguing about.
The resources of the "Third System" are not the richest, but the status is the most special - because there is only one wormhole here that can "go home"!
Even though it now seems to be completely shut down, the strategic significance is extraordinary.
What if it just can't think about it for a while, and then suddenly turns it on?
In the event of a technological breakthrough, what if you can find a way to reopen the wormhole?
Although this group of galaxies is rich, it is also like an isolated paradise, with limited room for development, and they will eventually have to find a way to "get out".
Because of its strategic significance, it has become the "Kashmir" of both sides.
As the conflict between the two clans became more and more intense in recent years, it developed later, and both clans deployed heavy troops here, confronted each other, and skirmishes continued.
"Milos, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to retreat?"
"Barty, I'll tell you one last time, unless your fleet withdraws from the Third System first, I won't back down this time!"
"So, you're bent on going to war?"
"It's you, not me, who started the war!"
As the negotiations have reached a stalemate, the fleets of both sides have become more and more tense, and the commanders have entered the final stage of "shirking responsibility", and war is on the verge of breaking out!
However, just as a big battle was about to break out between the two sides, the void in the distance suddenly twisted strangely.
"Didi!" "Didi!"
At the same time, radars on both sides began to sound piercing alarms.
"There's an ambush!" Milos and Barty's faces changed, and they both thought that the other party had arranged an ambush in advance.
"Yes...... It's a wormhole reaction! The wormhole has reacted! The young radar soldier shouted with shock on his face.
The intermittent wormholes known as the "Homecoming Corridors" by these "lost people" have not been opened for more than a hundred years, and even for the new generation of Geminis, wormholes exist only in legends.
People only know that it exists, they have seen its images, but they have never seen it with their own eyes.
Today, however, the legendary ancient portals ...... Reopened......
"This ......" The two commanders were also shocked and inexplicably looked at the footage uploaded from the video.
A void vortex is slowly but surely growing from nothing, from small to large......
The shock of this scene is no less than a supernova exploding at close range in front of your eyes.
"Stand back, get away! Immediately send a reconnaissance ship to the wormhole to get close to the reconnaissance! The two commanders, who reacted after the shock, gave orders in unison.
The wormhole is reopened, whether it is opened naturally, or the mother civilization on the opposite side or someone on the other side takes the initiative to open it, and it is obviously not a wise move to start a war at this time.
At the very least, we have to figure out the current situation first, and then the two sides have shown an amazing tacit understanding.
An hour later, the wormhole, which had expanded to a kilometer, flashed, and a small warship suddenly rushed out and appeared in front of everyone.
"It's ...... This is our ship! ”
Seeing the small warship with an extremely familiar construction style, many people's hearts jumped wildly.
Could this be...... The ship of the mother civilization?
The small warship quickly spotted the two fleets in the distance, and the next moment, a wide-area communication spread across each ship.
"Unknown Fleet, this is the Gemini civilization, the liaison ship under the command of the fleet directly under the United Council, please tell me your identity!"
"Sure enough! This is the ship of the mother civilization! Many people had a look of surprise on their faces.
The two commanders had mixed expressions.
They are the new generation born in the Lost Land, and their sense of belonging to the mother civilization is by no means as strong as that of their parents, on the contrary, the two who have achieved a certain status are more resistant to the arrival of the mother civilization.
After all, he is used to being the emperor of the soil, and no one wants to suddenly have an extra boss.
It's just that since the mother civilization has sent someone over, he can't show excessive resistance until he can't figure out the situation.
"This is the Lost Lands Feather Fleet, Commander Milos!"
"This is the Lost Lands Sea Clan fleet, Commander Barty!"
In the face of inquiry, the two still reported their identities, and invariably used the title "Lost Land".
There was silence for a moment, and then a communication screen popped up.
On the screen, hundreds of Gemini people dressed in different ways are sitting in a row, looking at the costumes, there are soldiers, businessmen, and politicians, as if they come from all walks of life.
The only thing they have in common is that these people are not young anymore, and they look like an elderly group.
The two commanders were a little confused, why didn't there be soldiers on this liaison ship, but there were so many old people?
Is it a negotiator? Or are they all veteran?
I don't know, I thought I was here to organize a tour group for the elderly......
"Milos, Barty? Whose family are you? An old man with a gray beard and a dignified face sitting at the front asked.
The two were stunned for a moment.
"The Feather Eskar Family, the 23rd grandson, Milos!"
"Sea Clan Baroque Family, 35th Grandson, Barty!"
"Eskar and the Baroque family?" The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the bloody plot of the peasant uprising did not happen, and the current rulers here are at least the children of the family, so it is easy to say......
He looked at the group of old men around him. "Are the principals of these two families here?"
Immediately, two old men stood up with red faces.
"Hahaha! Worthy of my Baroque family, little Batty, what about your father? I remember that before he entered this lost land, he had just married his daughter-in-law, and his aunt introduced him. The old man of the Sea Clan looked at the people around him, with a smug expression.
"Milos, yes, good job, didn't disgrace the Eskar family!" The other old man of the Yu clan seemed relatively calm, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Everyone around looked envious.
To be able to become a ruler in this lost land, no matter what means are used, that is also the ability, in the eyes of the superiors, this is ability, and for the family, this is glory.
What's more, if the matter is done well this time, maybe it can bring huge benefits to the family, and everyone is naturally envious.
Speaker Kreuzer promised two seats in parliament in front of them.
This is simply an opportunity for a small family to soar straight into the sky!
Batty little one?
Hearing this title, the corners of Barty's eyes, who was already in his hundreds, twitched slightly, and he couldn't bear to have a seizure on the spot.
"Dare I ask who you are?"
"Hey! In terms of seniority, you have to call me 'grandpa'! ”
"Milos, why don't you come over and meet your great-grandfather?" Another old man of the Yu clan also smiled at this time, and his face was kind.
What? The two commanders' faces immediately turned green.
Whose idea is too despicable......
How can this be talked about?
Could it be that they can still negotiate terms with their grandfather and grandfather with a red neck?
This is the ......
It's so good!
