Chapter 550: A Life of Your Own

In the past 40 years, as the prestige of the old government has declined significantly, the first bit of power lost is the so-called "right to speak". The media, representing different interest classes, have seized a large part of the right to speak.

The Great Escape! - At least that's how the news in the various newspapers describes it.

"We don't need a dictatorship anymore, we need a government that we voted for!"

After 40 years of population explosion, the population size of the new human civilization has grown to 90 million, and the increase in labor force has increased the industrial strength of the entire civilization by a large margin.

Of course, the labor force brought by such a high population has long since stopped squeezing the people as in the past, and has now returned to its normal working conditions.

However, whether it is a practical factor or a future factor, the 90 million population is only temporary, and the vast majority of the population will leave in this "escape operation".

The second bit of power that is lost is, of course, political power. During the more than 40 years of preparation, different political parties have sprung up one after another, and in recent times have issued their own political programs, painting a colorful picture of the future.

"Today we are putting power back in the hands of the people, that is, in your hands. For too long, the government has forced us to achieve big goals, but neglected the people's pursuit of their own happiness, so that we have less and less time for personal life......"

"This plan is a legitimate appeal from a true citizen and an honest public. We're going to get out of here and choose our own lives. ”

"In my long working years, I often see drunkards paralyzed on the side of the road, they used to have their dreams, but they don't have dreams now. I've also seen people who have had their entire lungs removed because of excessive smoking, which they shouldn't have done...... We will put an end to these dark phenomena in another world. ”

A party leader was giving a speech in front of the people, and there was wave of applause.

When the female captain saw this scene, she felt so envious in her heart, she seemed to have never received such warm applause from the people.

For the current society, it is still a relatively democratic and open society, so the vote in the hands of the people will be a very important thing.

After the discussion of the whole people, the previous one-party ruling system will also become a "multi-party ruling system", and the old political party, the "New Civilization School", will no longer pursue the basic plate of these people who have left the crowd, and they will choose to stay here and silently complete the work of the entire planetary engine.

Therefore, the original officials have no control over what the future holds, and it will be up to these people who have left to decide......

Although the original ruling party has been oppressing the people for many years and has made people a little angry, there is always a little social inertia after so many years, and many people are a little upset after hearing about this incident.

However, more people are excited and curious, and the new civilization school pursues "the progress of civilization", but some of the other parties pay more attention to people's livelihood, and some pay more attention to cultural construction.

What an interesting and meaningful thing that the people themselves want a political party!

Democratic policies have both advantages and disadvantages, and the ruling party is elected by vote, and everyone makes full use of their political rights, giving full play to the charm of so-called "freedom".

"It's a miasma...... Where did so much come from! Isn't it bad to pursue progress? ”

Wang Haifeng sighed softly, looking at the large mothership above his head, and boats of people entered the Bright Galaxy.

He was an honest man, and he didn't think it was good to make such a fuss, but he couldn't say anything else.

All in all, Wang Haifeng will not choose to leave.

Even in this large construction site that has accompanied him all his life, there is an unusually impetuous atmosphere, and the workers have filled in their volunteers and discussed loudly, as if they can go to a distant paradise after escaping from this hell on earth...... A true paradise!

The old people were talking and laughing, and there were a few young people watching and hesitating, they had just joined the work and encountered this kind of thing, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

Wang Haifeng patted a young man on the shoulder.

"Uncle Wang, aren't you leaving?" The young man asked, "The older ones are gone." ”

Wang Haifeng shook his head: "Forget it, what about you?" ”

"I don't know ......"

Yes, he doesn't know, most young people don't.

They are so confused that this kind of thing happened as soon as they graduated...... It's still good at school, and that's it after coming out.

"Those who stay here, we don't think about it, but we will take the lead in building a shelter for you to defend against neutron star collisions! Hopefully, in 400 years, we will be reunited! You will see a strong human civilization. "This is the slogan of the industrial union, which began to pull votes for itself.

Industry is definitely going to do it, and shouting this slogan seems to be able to make a morally elegant explanation for its "desertion".

yes, we're just going to build the shelter ahead of time!

"We're going to go to that star field and develop another real battle star! In addition, we will build an observation device for neutron star collisions......"

This is the political slogan of another party, the "Association for the Promotion of Democracy", who actually wants to develop another star!

Sooner or later, this battle star will have to be destroyed by a neutron star collision, and the development of a battle star at 1 light year will be able to truly survive.

In people's minds, it seems that being forced to develop by a hasty task and developing it with enthusiasm are two different things.

People are disgusted by long hours of overwork, not by developing Battlestars.

The people who are leaving at the moment are actually very sensitive in their psychological and emotional feelings, and people know that this grand plan must be completed, both from the moral level and the entire civilization level.

Most people are reluctant to touch their behavior of "being a deserter", so they must have a reasonable interface to comfort themselves.

Not many people voted for the parties that frantically curry favor with the public from the outset, promising to "raise social welfare" and "reduce the retirement age" because it would appear to be "immoral and greedy for enjoyment".

The two "industrial unions" and the "Association for the Promotion of Democracy," which are most in line with the will of the people, have gradually come to the fore and have already fought a final decisive battle, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. The two sides debated with each other and attacked each other's political views.

All in all, they had a full 300-year voyage to defeat each other.

This escape has affected not only the previous generation, but also the next.

There are some guys in their fifties and sixties who have just worked for more than ten years, and they are also clamoring that they have the right to leave.

The most strange thing is that the small number of young people who pursue freedom do not lead to a larger population, which also makes Wang Haifeng feel a little unbelievable......

Although the younger generation of young people is very confused, there is a huge contradiction between what they learn in school and what happens in society. But there seems to be a force faintly supporting it, the propaganda power of the old government, which occupies all the clubs in the school. There were also some young people who just watched the noisy crowd with cold eyes, as if they were watching a very strange joke.

At this time, a voice sounded in his ears, "Wang Haifeng, are you really not leaving?" ”

It was the older sister in his small family: "Just make a report, it's very simple!" The government's approval this time is very lenient. If you continue to stay here, the population will be greatly reduced, and you will have to work 10 hours again, but it will not be as easy as it is now......"

"Forget it, I've been doing it for so long. It's nothing to work for a few more years, and I'm about to retire...... Go ahead, and I'll not go. ”

Wang Haifeng grinned, his thick hands and his sister hugged each other, and unconsciously, tears dripped down.

Parting is always a painful thing.
