Chapter 91: The Banquet
Because he expected that the royal family and ministers of the Kingdom of Turin would have to discuss and make decisions for a while before meeting him, Feng Chen's arrangement for this rare leisure time was as follows: sleep until he woke up naturally in the morning, eat a breakfast slowly and leisurely in a luxurious room with white tones, go out for a walk, and then return to the room to play games with PDA.
Wang Nan's database has games, and it is said that these games can directly connect to the player's consciousness, so that the player can immerse himself in the game world without even realizing the difference from the real world! Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation can all be carried out in the game. Feng Chen had been looking forward to this for a long time.
However, in fact, Feng Chen was called up by Wang Nan early in the morning to study the history of the Federation.
The kind that also comes with quizzes.
"Wang Nan! I am the Supreme Consul of the Federation! Feng Chen shouted dizzily after being called.
"Of course, Archon! But you have also commanded before - to urge you to study mercilessly, and if you are lazy and passive, I can take some punitive measures that will not cause you permanent harm, such as electric shocks. As he spoke, electric sparks flashed on Wang Nan's body.
Feng Chen washed silently, and at the same time slapped himself in his heart, how could he be so cheap in the first place! To give such an order?!
Wang Nan's teaching content is more flexible than the classroom, for example, at the moment, when the integration of the Kingdom of Turin is imminent, Wang Nan mainly tells the cases of the annexation of many lower civilizations by the Federation in those years, and analyzes the successes and failures. Those contents were so high-energy that Feng Chen broke out in a cold sweat for a while. There's no way, a planet will be burned into glass balls at every turn, and tens of billions of people will die casually, and you may also break out in a cold sweat when these real cases are placed in front of you.
After talking about a few cases, Feng Chen finally had a deeper understanding of the problems that might be encountered in the integration of low-level civilizations.
There are tens of thousands of civilizations encountered by the Federation, and there are many kinds of civilizations, some of which the Federation will not contact at all, such as the other party cannibalism and treat human beings as a snack or staple food; For example, the ability to reproduce and evolve is too powerful, just like the legendary Zerg; For example, the other civilization's form is too evil and even indescribable for human beings, and for this kind of civilization, the federation is often wiped out, and sometimes a major war that requires the mobilization of the entire federation will break out.
Therefore, civilizations that can be annexed or integrated by the Federation have already gone through a round of preliminary screening, but even so, there will still be many unexpected and even inexplicable problems.
There is a category of problems in which civilizations are developing in different directions. Wang Nan told a story called the Bon Po civilization, which was founded by intelligent beings similar to dwarves, and soon after the Federation observed them, decided to annex them. After going through the routine process, the envoy to the home planet of the Bon Po civilization found that the other party seemed to have forgotten all about the Federation's annexation of them! The messenger, of course, suspected that it was the people of this civilization who were playing dumb. But after careful investigation, the Federation found out that the Benpo civilization is actually a civilization in a spiritual direction, and they have a spiritual network that makes all dwarves intoxicated, therefore, their interest in the real world is very weak, whether the Federation wants to annex them, and what they plan to do with them, these problems may not be noticed at all, the Federation's series of bright muscle behaviors in the sky above their home planet, have been completely ignored by them!
In the end, the Federation had to leave an observatory to watch over these dwarves who were addicted to the Internet, lest an asteroid pass by one day and destroy them completely.
One of the problems is that there are fundamental differences in thinking between them, and the Federation has encountered one or two such cases. At first glance, both civilizations are very well developed, and technology is quite advanced among first-class civilizations, but when the Federation communicates with them, it is found that the other party is completely unable to communicate, and even the Federation's most advanced computers cannot parse each other's languages. It took decades for the scientists of the Federation to discover that there is a fundamental difference between the thinking of the other party and human beings: no matter how complex the thinking of human beings is, they all follow the basic logical laws of cause and effect, the law of identity, and so on, but the two civilizations do not have these basic logical laws at all, and may have other basic logical laws, in short, there is no possibility of mutual understanding at all, and integration is even more incompatible......
There are more than 20 problems in total, all of which have been summed up by the Federation after encountering unfamiliar situations and some even making great sacrifices. Feng Chen couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally, these more than 20 questions are all heritage and inheritance!
After a few minutes of emotion, Wang Nan began the quiz.
……
After finishing the test, it was just evening, Liu Jing and Bachar knocked on Feng Chen's door at the same time, and to Feng Chen's surprise, Fenia was actually with them.
"Is it time for dinner?" Feng Chen came to the corridor with a refreshed look after the test, patting his stomach.
Finia stared at the patting of the visitor from another world for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally explained her intentions: "Feng Chen, my father wants to see you. ”
"Is this the time? It's time for dinner. Feng Chen hesitated.
Are you that hungry?! Phinea groaned in her heart and said, "To be precise, this is also a banquet, which can be regarded as an informal meeting. ”
As soon as he heard the word banquet, Feng Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Let's go!" ”
Finia took a deep breath and turned to lead the way.
Feng Chen and his party followed Finia for more than ten minutes and came to a hall. The hall was resplendent with black and white bricks on the floor, giving Feng Chen the feeling of standing on a chess board. The hall was already full of people, and although everyone didn't speak loudly, there was a buzzing sound in the air above the hall, as if there was a swarm of invisible bees flying there. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see the long tables on the left and right sides, on which there are sumptuous dinners and various wines, which make Feng Chen's stomach growl.
As soon as Feng Chen and his party entered the hall, they looked at them vaguely, and the experienced Phinea immediately noticed these gazes, but Feng Chen didn't seem to notice it, and went straight to the long table with Liu Jing Bachar, grabbed a meat leg and gnawed it.
The juicy and flavorful piece of meat collided with the teeth in his mouth, and the process of being cut by the teeth seemed to play the most cheerful symphony at the tip of Feng Chen's heart, making him laugh all over.
"Delicious!" Feng Chen shouted.
Finia felt the blank gaze, and for some reason she felt a little ashamed in her heart. She walked up to Feng Chen and said softly, "Feng Chen, please eat slowly!" ”。
Noticing Feng Chen's confused gaze, Finia followed, "Please be decent." ”
Feng Chen's heart suddenly galloped, Nima! Isn't Lao Tzu decent? Please explain it to me!
