Shan Zhiming squinted at Huang Yun, and in his eyes that looked indifferent, he seemed to ask: No matter who is good for you?

The invisible rift seemed to tear apart from the conference room, which was like a serious version of "The Last Supper". In other words, the convergence of interests is always temporary, but the opposition of interests is permanent.

Huang Yun lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Since its establishment, the school has been divided, regardless of students, teachers, and leaders, it has always been divided into three strands; And the situation of this miniature society is a projection within the whole special population of the apostles.

The griffons of the hawks, the apostles of the scales of the neutrals, and the moderate apostles of the traditionalists, the boundaries between the three are clear.

The founder of the Silver World Apostle Academy is an out-and-out traditionalist, and his founding philosophy is not to participate in too many political disputes, and to isolate most of the influences from the outside world on the students. Adhering to his philosophy, although he follows the principles of freedom of thought and human rights, even if the opposing hawkish students and teachers, the Silver World Academy does not reject all of them, but this academy can almost be regarded as the camp of the traditional faction, and the propaganda caused by the hawkish teachers and students is almost invisible. In order to perpetuate this teaching atmosphere, the Silver World Academy almost always excludes hawkish teachers from the leadership, and the "griffins" are almost invisible at the internal election meetings of the principals.

"Students, not guns in the hands of politicians." This is what the moderate apostle who founded the school said.

The Balance Apostle of the Neutral School is a very magical existence among the apostles-

They are not like the hawkish griffins, who are eager to lead the apostles in their quest for "equality" and "fairness", even at the expense of radical means; Nor is it like the traditional apostles, who advocate that "apostles are no different from ordinary people" and support morality and ethics within ordinary citizens. They are motivated by their interests, and are seldom moved by the impulsive sensual needs of the other two parties—they are the most "rational" part of the apostolic community.

At the same time, the Apostle of the Scales seldom jumped out of his own hands and snatched food from the mouths of the other two; seldom participates in the confrontation between the other two parties, and rarely takes the initiative to seek alliances; They are separated from both sides and only seek the interests of their own side, and if one brings more benefits, they will fall to one side. In short, they were the "people who rode the wall" in the apostolic community.

The young man who thinks that the scales are tilted, named Pear Ginseng, seems to be a typical "apostle of the scales".

Huang Yun, who is also an apostle of the balance, is biased towards the traditionalist apostle between his words just now, all because of the leadership of Samen Lefu for more than 20 years. Under his leadership, the neutrals have always been able to get good benefits, and the leniency of the "scales" of the Silver Academy is also consistent with its code of conduct of "interests for transfer". And since the establishment of the school, most of them have been the same.

Will the new traditional apostles now come to power to the detriment of the apostles of the balance in the academy? Huang Yun felt that the possibility was very small. So, is it still necessary to bring hawks into the meeting? On the balance of interests, if the benefits brought by one end are heavier, why not tilt a little at the beginning?

"Why?" Huang Qin asked. What this "reason" refers to, obviously, is the interest of the Apostles of the Scales.

Pear Ginseng smiled mysteriously and pointed to the microcomputer on his wrist.

Huang Yun understood and turned on the command of "Private Mode" on the microcomputer. The information transmitted by pear ginseng is converted by a computer and transmitted directly to the brain through cells in the human body. This private mode of viewing information only in the human body is a new technology in recent years, and the cost is high, and it is difficult for even the military to popularize it. Neuronal information reading technology has the effect of preventing information from being leaked when it is read at the receiving end, and has a high level of confidentiality. When encrypted information is transmitted between two terminals, as long as it is not intercepted and deciphered, the reader can further prevent eavesdropping and surveillance, and further reduce the possibility of information leakage in the entire information transmission chain of "sending-transmitting-receiving-reading".

After receiving the information, Huang Yun's eyes became deep, and at the same time, several high-level executives in the conference room who also belonged to the neutral camp also had strange eyes.

Yama Zhiming frowned, he felt that this meeting might be the beginning of the leadership of the traditional party academy - change and alternation.

A traditionalist apostle found something unpleasant, a staunch supporter of Samon Lefou's life, and an absolute supporter of the apostle's traditionalist philosophy. He said, "Huang Yun, your vote just now is still valid, right?" And, indeed, there is no precedent for a hawk to take power in our school..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pear Ginseng interrupted him: "Isn't there a 'precedent' today?" Or the first. Moreover, even Cha Yan, the great founder, did not explicitly prohibit the hawks from entering the internal election meeting? ”

"That's because the hawks weren't fully formed at that time!" Traditionalist proponents slammed the table, and the glass conference table shook slightly.

Yamanoaki stretched out his hand to stop the excitement of the speaker, saying, "We do things differently than hawks. As long as it does not violate our bottom line, we cannot take the initiative to stop the development of the situation. Since they are speaking to us through the 'microphone', let's listen to it. Yama Zhiming looked at the pear ginseng with deep eyes.

Traditionalism has always been so passive.

Huang Yun looked at the mountain apologetically. She didn't want to change her decision to vote, but this thought was based on her own friendship with Samen Lefu and Yamanoaki over the years. This is a perceptual impulse, and it is no longer a "rational" thinking that arises from self-interest. Therefore, the ticket just now must be invalid.

"Tsk, woman!" Kiji placed the pocket watch on the table and made it spin like a top.

…

Two old men in their fifties and sixties, with sharp eyes that seemed to be burning with an endless fire in their eyes, stood by the door of the conference room with a smile.

Apostolic Crime Special Investigation Division Official Mansion Mansion.

The wind on the rooftop was very strong, and the corners of Bai Lan's clothes hung down for a moment.

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold after blowing for so long?" Chen Jingzhu braved the wind and came to Bai Lan's side.

"It's fine."

"Still thinking about what happened on Jing'an Street and the assassination of the Silver Realm?"

Bai Lan nodded, took out a chocolate from the pocket of her clothes, handed it to Chen Jingzhu, and bit off a piece herself.

"In the past few days, I have become a little addicted to smoking, but chocolate seems to be a little addictive." Bai Lan looked at the gloomy sky of Yanjing City, where black clouds pressed down on the city.

Chen Jingzhu smiled and surrounded Bai Lan from behind. "And what do you think?"

"It's nothing special, I just think they are somewhat connected and different, after all, there is not much information about the two now."

Just between the two talking. The prompt on Bai Lan's microcomputer flashed.

"Chief, all the missing apostolic citizens from a few days ago to the present have been investigated. The 37 apostles registered on Jing'an Street, with the exception of Samen Lefou, who was assassinated, are all missing. ”

"There were eight sacred trees in the Garden of Eden, one of which was the Tree of Life. In some religions, the full name of the Tree of Life is the 'Kabbalah Tree of Life', which is the blueprint for the creation of the six worlds created by the creator God, and is also the structure of the divine body and the foundation of life. But these claims have not been confirmed, and the first apostles did not examine them with corresponding accuracy when they entered the Garden of Eden. Since no recording equipment could be brought into the Garden of Eden, the sources of our knowledge of it today are mainly oral descriptions or written accounts left by the first apostles. ”

"For example, it is difficult to verify that it is the 'blueprint for the creation of the six worlds'. In astronomical observations, scholars have not found any trace of the remaining five living worlds. The first apostles' knowledge of the 'six worlds' came primarily from the serpent in the Garden of Eden, whose contents, despite some credibility, have not yet been verified. In the religious sources used for reference, there are similarly few references to the 'six creation worlds'. So far, there are only 10 sources of relevant religious documents in the Federation, Union, and State. ”

"Regarding the suggestion that 'the universe is a dark forest, and the hunters try their best to hide themselves from each other', do you think it can be used as a theoretical basis for us to observe the remaining five god-created worlds?" In the general education class of intermediate apostolic history, white light folded out of the old professor's reading glasses.

One of the apostolic cadets raised his hand. He said, "Mr. Jing, I don't agree with this statement. The macro conjecture of the dark forest is indeed great, but it is inevitably suspected that all theories are drawn out of thin air from the sociological relations between the regions of the earth. It is also based on nothing more than the social ecology of a planet and the classical Darwinian idea of evolution. This theory is 'social Darwinism' on a cosmic level. At the same time, the whole theory is also composed of all the pure rational logic, and the basic element of its existence is only 'the absoluteization of the importance of scientific and technological development'. ”

"It regards the different societies of the world, the planet, and the cosmic civilization as absolutely not cooperating with each other, and regards the 'threat' as the 'point' of absolute relationship. It ignores the 'social rationality' of the biome. If it really exists – the rest of the life world that the self conceals. Then, in the living world, the 'whole social rationality', which is composed of countless rational and intelligent beings, should never be ignored. ”

The apostle student paused and said, "If the rest of the intelligent beings on the alien planet really exist, their existence will inevitably consume more and more resources. If intelligent beings oriented to survival interests are regarded as absolutely rational, I think it is possible to choose cooperation when the interests of cooperation outweigh the interests of hostility. Then, the premise of the existence of the Dark Forest Theory, 'absolute deterrence and threat', is flawed. Of course, it is all measured by interests, and it is also hugely flawed, and it has only theoretical significance, but no practical reference value, although the actual reference value is not much necessary to discuss it in the absence of the discovery of the rest of intelligent life. ”

"I think that 'threats', 'interests' or other conditions should be set as parameters to further construct a comprehensive theoretical model of 'cosmic society', so as to more accurately reflect the real situation. Therefore, the flawed 'theory of absolute deterrence', the dark forest, should not be used as a theoretical basis for the observation of the remaining five 'world-making'. Because it is not of much significance for the practical reference of the cosmic society. I believe that the reason why the rest of the worlds cannot be observed is that in addition to the fact that the existing technical conditions are not sufficient, it is possible that the fundamental reason is that human beings have mistaken the location of the five worlds. ”

At this point, the apostolic student stopped. And his answer - made the classroom full of silence.
