Chapter 571: Survivor's Statement
The whole story begins more than 400 years ago, when people were still developing planetary engines in the dark......
From generation to generation, the flame has been passed down from generation to generation, and this blazing flame seems to never be extinguished, and it seems to be extinguished immediately......
There are always so many people who work hard in the whole civilization, and there are also people who work hard, eating dust all day long, and only have one or two days of rest in a month.
Some people get used to it quickly, some people don't, but they have to force themselves to get used to it; There are some people who want to cheat and cheat, and there are even all kinds of "sunken people" who simply don't work.
There has never been a society in history where there are only good people and no bad people. All kinds of people mixed together to form a colorful civilization.
But people's patience and patience are being worn away from generation to generation, and the prestige of government is passing from generation to generation, and no passion can last so long......
Finally, one day, a trend of thought of "born free" swept through the entire new human civilization, resulting in an unprecedented general strike action!
The general strike had a profound impact, and although people were soon back to work, the government had made compromises to the masses.
Over the next forty years, the new human civilization underwent very drastic changes, on the one hand, a large number of transcendent beings were temporarily recruited to reappear in the real world......
On the other hand, the Brilliant Galaxy will carry 50 million people, escaping the dark planet and heading for a brilliant star 1 light-year away.
That is to say, the former new human civilization was divided into two civilizations, and from an ideological point of view, the population that remained in place was ruled by the "blue current" represented by the "progressives" and the other by the "green current" represented by the "liberals".
The two sides went their own way, each going to the future.
Lin Yingdong let out a long sigh, looking at this planet that has been inhabited for more than a hundred years, vast and desolate, and the planetary engines are like huge peaks standing on the surface of the earth.
He stepped onto the deck of the Shining Galaxy and chose to leave.
Lin Yingdong is an educator in the government department, and his past job is to brainwash children and instill in them the traditional idea that "civilization needs to move forward, and personal righteousness can be sacrificed for the sake of civilization and righteousness".
If you don't maintain this traditional social atmosphere, it is indeed very difficult to make people overwork for a long time......
However, after brainwashing people for a long time, he himself feels that this kind of thing is very disgusting!
What civilization is righteous, civilization needs to move forward, it sounds like a hole in space.
He deeply knew that human nature is not a loving creature. This can be seen from a young age, some people are born to like to bully others, and this kind of bullying does not need a reason at all, so there will be all kinds of school bullying behaviors. If people don't have their own sense of superiority, are they still human, so he believes that human nature itself is evil.
And this kind of "civilizational righteousness" is obviously at the cost of distorting human nature, the will of the upper ruling class, and is unsustainable.
Even...... It can be said that it is a kind of dictatorship!
Thus, the idea of "man born free" was born out of chaos.
In fact, this idea is not new, and the Enlightenment of the 17th-18th centuries proclaimed the ideas of freedom, democracy and equality.
In the 21st century, there is also the so-called neoliberalism.
However, it is in this context that people can truly grasp its exact meaning.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight, under such oppressive conditions, this kind of rain seems to come from another universe and has become a source of power in the depths of the heart.
"Are you going to get on the ship too?"
At that time, human civilization, blue and green were irreconcilable, and each formed its own camp.
A reporter from the blue camp asked the former government worker, "You are government workers!" Why? This is betrayal! ”
Lin Yingdong said: "Of course, it will be a better world!" We should also create a better society...... A society that is more in line with human nature. There is no way to modify the philosophy of genes, so why not make the whole society a little more human? ”
The reporter asked again: "What about the people here?" The entire project is not complete, and they still have to work for a long time. The amount of work planned for all the works is real! You're gone, who's going to do the work? ”
In an interview with TV, Lin Yingdong said loudly: "We have paid half a lifetime for the entire civilization, and even if we leave now, we have a clear conscience!" And I think the government has a responsibility to make such a plan! ”
"The original plan was wrong!"
"All of this should be done by the original government!"
Lin Yingdong raised his hands high, "If the rest of the people are willing to leave, but the government won't let them go, we will fight for the relevant power for them!" But if they themselves don't want to leave, we won't force anything......"
It was like the most passionate and purposeful day of my life. Strive for your own ideas.
Lin Yingdong did not feel that he had betrayed his original faith, but that his original faith had betrayed him.
"Civilization does need to progress, but it should not be at the expense of so much happiness that brings people!"
This is his core idea.
Of course, the prestige of the old government is still there, and there are many people who would rather suffer here than leave, so there is nothing to be done.
The entire planetary engine project could not be allowed to fail, and the Thoth civilization was also staring at it. If all the human beings escaped, the Thoth civilization would not be able to do all the work alone, and would have to have a huge conflict with the human race.
Lin Yingdong even had a little schadenfreude in his heart: "Fortunately, someone is willing to stay here, otherwise there is the obstruction of the Toth civilization, and the Bright Galaxy will not be able to run...... Ay. ”
In this way, the people of this spaceship left without looking back.
The Brilliant Galaxy spewed out a roaring ionic flame and disappeared into the distant sky......
The entire divided civilization naturally gave birth to many political parties.
In this dangerous cosmic space, anarchism certainly does not work, and without a government to connect society, soon human beings will die in the vast starry sky.
After years of fierce competition, a total of two parties stood out, namely the "Industrial United Party" and the "Association for the Promotion of Democracy"!
Since all the people on the spaceship have received traditional education, after escaping this planet, the apologies in their hearts are still there, and this sense of guilt cannot be covered up by covering it up with the banner of "freedom".
Subconsciously, they also know that their escape is sorry for the entire civilization.
Therefore, these citizens are still very high-quality citizens.
They want to live a happier life, but they reject meaningless enjoyment, and they also know the concept of "civilization of the sinkers", these are great social inertia.
"So, how did such an excellent human citizen quickly fall and sink in just a few decades?"
At this moment, Lin Yingdong is standing on the stage of the Science Council, telling the history of these years with a low expression. After such a huge storm, his figure was thin and desperate......
