Chapter 9: The Federal Kingdom of Mars
The rain on Earth, it's really annoying, on Mars, it rains for only one hour at a time. Mars has no magnetic field, in order to protect the gas on Mars, in 2000 Homo sapiens, Martians launched 10,000 artificial satellites into Martian orbit, and formed a solar protective net with nanomaterials.
Yuan Suping stood in front of the window, full of thoughts. It rained all night, and there was no intention of retreating until the sun came out. The temple of the Dajie Lama was exposed, Yuan Hu fled, and Qin Yingzhou and Qiao Zhiyue disappeared or had been held hostage by Yuan Hu. Last night, Ren Zhonghui's people had already exchanged this news for 10,000 yuan to buy wine with her through email. For earthlings, loyalty is a rare quality, and on Mars, loyalty has already been injected into life by DNA.
The siblings Yuan Hu and Yuan Suping were born in the year 2000 of the Martian Homo sapiens era (known as the first year of creation by historians).
In that year, the Martian Revolution was successful, and the revolutionary army forced the king to sign the constitution and form a citizens' assembly and a royal council. As the leader of the revolutionary army, Yuan Lu was elected as the first consul of the Council of Kings of the Martian Federation after a citizens' assembly.
The Kingdom of the Martian Federation divides its citizens into three classes - citizens, defenders, and laborers. Citizens had the right to vote and elected the King's Council and the Consuls. Ninety-nine percent of the citizens are humans, and the remaining one percent are promoted to excellent and meritorious intelligent robots among the self-defenders. Among the citizens, those who are not qualified are demoted to guards, and those who have committed improper crimes are demoted to laborers. Guards are composed of humans and intelligent robots, except for the marshal must be served by humans, the rest of the generals, intelligent robots can also have capable people, among the guards, even if you are a marshal, the grade and treatment are still lower than citizens. Ninety-nine percent of the laborers are intelligent robots, and the remaining one percent are criminals from humans, who have the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of guard after serving full labor.
Yuan Lu's wife, Susie, was wounded in the abdomen during the Revolutionary War and lost her fertility. Now that the revolution has succeeded, the couple wants to have a child, and their mutual friend, the kingdom's chief scientist, suggests to them that they can "give birth" to intelligent robots.
The children of the consuls cannot be born citizens? This is unacceptable to Yuan Lu.
Xiangsheng said that his research has made a breakthrough and developed a four-dimensional molecular structure of multi-chain hydrosilicon, which can realize the mimic structure of any molecule, if he uses this multi-chain four-dimensional silicon compound to create an intelligent robot, it can be simulated into a human appearance, and the strength of multi-chain four-dimensional silicon hydrosilicon is higher than the strength of the metal body of the existing intelligent robot, and it can also obtain light energy, only need to replenish water, and there is no constraint of plugging in to replenish energy, so outsiders will never be able to discover this secret.
Of course, this is great news, but Yuan Lu has just been elected consul, and he has concerns about asking him to lie to the citizens. Xiangsheng consoled Yuanlu that the ruler had the right to lie to the citizens, as long as the lie was beneficial to the kingdom.
"This is my personal family problem, how can it be good for the kingdom?" Yuan Lu was puzzled.
"Mr. Consul, a child is just your family problem, if you ......" Xiangsheng looked at Yuan Lu and stopped.
"You want mass production?" Yuan Lu's heart moved.
"Don't you think that in the current state of affairs, it is difficult for the citizens' assembly to continue?"
"Bold!" Yuan Lu sternly reprimanded, "Who gave you the guts to criticize the Constitution!" Criticize the citizens' assembly! ”
"Mr. Archon, you are discerning!" Xiangsheng did not flinch, and said bluntly, "I love the Constitution, so I don't want it to end up dying!" How many of them are genuinely concerned about the kingdom when they say that the good thing is the democratic assembly, and what the bad is the feast of the rabble, who enjoy the fruits of the revolution and drive the robots with peace of mind? You know it best! And robots are different, they obey instructions, are loyal to the interests of the country, and will definitely not be selfish! ”
Yuan Lu was silent, and Xiangsheng's words touched his sore spot: Mars was already in a deep energy crisis, and he asked the Energy Committee to draft a new bill for energy conservation and emission reduction, which was intended to be passed in the council, but those who opposed him formed an alliance and sang against him, and even threatened to delegate it to the citizens' assembly for a vote. He knew very well that such a bill that offended the public would not be passed in the citizens' assembly, and would even cause his approval rating to drop rapidly. In the end, he had to compromise and cancel the agenda of the new bill.
"Mr. Consul, as long as it is beneficial to the country, the ruler has the right to lie to the people!" Aisheng shouted.
"Then you ......," Yuan Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "give me two children first...... I'll spend some time with them day and night to see the effect, and we'll talk about it...... What do you think? ”
Xiangsheng went according to his words, and half a month later, Yuan Hu and Yuan Suping were "born", Yuan Hu's age was set at 25 years old, and Yuan Suping was set at 23 years old. When choosing the mimetic gender, Yuan Hu chose the male, and Yuan Suping chose the female. At that time, the technology of the Martians could already support a lifespan of up to 1,000 years, and the face could maintain its youth for a long time. Therefore, when Yuanlu announced that he had found his children who had been separated before the revolution, it did not arouse the suspicion of the citizens.
After 50 years, the term of office of the consul Yuanlu expired and he proposed to be renewed. After 50 years of covert development, at this time, more than half of the parliamentarians in the King's Chamber are Yuanlu's "protégés" mimic robots, and the main persons in charge of each vote gate of the citizens' assembly are also mimic robots. Ten years ago, a member of parliament questioned it and was sentenced to life by Yuan Lu on charges of conspiracy to subvert the Chamber of Parliament; Since then, no one has dared to speak out publicly.
There is no suspense, Yuan Lu's re-election was successful, and he was ambitious, announcing at the citizens' assembly: In the next step, we will develop interstellar colonization and completely solve the problem of Mars's expanding population!
