Chapter 154: The Führer System
"What are you going to do with Sister Mingyue's suggestion to do more activities?" Lele asked on the side.
"It's not a big deal." Wang Qian didn't care much about this.
The next day, Wang Qian really went to class. It's still a history lesson, but this time it's about the political changes of the First Empire.
However, this time the teacher is not Feng Bing, but Ding Yi, who is just an intermediate artificial intelligence.
Wang Qian entered the virtual space and found that the classroom had become a council, and Ding Yi was sitting in the speaker's seat.
Several of his classmates played the role of parliamentarians, just like him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Miss Aya's proposal to replace the republic with the head of state?" Ding Yi spoke first.
Aya is Beit's first advanced artificial intelligence.
'Looks like it's time for role-playing. Wang Qian thought so.
"Guys, I beg your pardon for having to contradict me." A boy who looked about the same age as Wang Qian stood up to speak.
This person's name is Jia Yan, Wang Qian knows, is very keen on debate, and likes to take a bit of formalism.
"We all know that the core of Miss Aya's point is that the Führer responds faster than a republic.
As the saying goes, 'It's better to react to the right or the wrong than not to react at all.'"
So at the end of the day, it's a battle of speed and stability.
Why do we go for speed? Because the universe is still too strange and dangerous for us.
If there is an emergency, it must be very nice to have a leader, a captain-like figure who can step up and respond immediately. ”
Speaking of this, Jia Yan walked out of the councilor's seat and stood in the center of the venue, looking around at the surrounding students and the projected scene characters.
"However, I have to ask a question here. The universe is dangerous, but what kind of danger is it?
Is it as dangerous as land? It's still as dangerous as the ocean. Or is it a danger like the sky?
Obviously, none of these are the case, and the dangers of the universe have their own characteristics, and they must not be discussed in conjunction with the first three.
So what are we afraid of in the universe?
Firstly, we are afraid of loneliness and fear, secondly, we are afraid of the spaceship itself, and finally, we are afraid of some cosmic phenomenon outside the spaceship.
So, how do we get rid of loneliness? What about the loneliness and fear of being so fragile and infinitely distant from the home planet?
I don't think that's a problem that the Führer can solve. The early kind of unidentified head of state could still rely on the cult of personality, but is it feasible now? Not feasible.
So it's hard for me to imagine a parliamentary system that gathers the common wisdom and allows everyone to participate in any way that is inferior to the Führer.
Pick up a big man from above and let him manipulate our lives from afar? I guess that's a fear in itself. ”
After saying the first point, Jia Yan looked around again.
"Second, we were afraid that something would go wrong with the ship itself.
'When we board the ship, Mother Earth will no longer shelter you. This is also a well-known thing.
Ships are complex and fragile. Daily maintenance and management, emergency measures in an emergency, this is a matter of life and death for us.
So shouldn't a more stable republic be our first choice in this case? A complete response and a sound management system will greatly improve our chances of survival.
Third, hazards from outside the universe. This unknown, almost unfathomable harm is indeed worrying, but this is precisely where the advantage of parliamentarism lies.
The biggest characteristic of the universe is that it is big, really big, so big that we can hardly escape disasters that affect us.
So big that all the disasters we see and know are so far away that it is almost impossible for us to encounter them.
So in this case, what is the use of that captain-style emergency? So I don't think the Führer system is necessary, urgent, and inevitable as Miss Aya says.
I am complete with my statement. Jia Yan nodded, returned to his seat, and the speaker who acted as Ding Yi did not express his opinion, and the scene characters in the audience naturally began to whisper, and the students who came to class were naturally thinking about how to break Jia Yan's point of view.
"I have a different point of view." This time, Wang Gan decided to refute him, not because he had an opinion on Jia Yan, but because he just wanted to explain his views.
So Wang Gan also followed Jia Yan's example, stood in the center of the venue, nodded to the speaker, nodded like Jia Yan, and finally bowed slightly to the characters in the scene.
"If Beit is just a game of chess, then Councillor Ija's path should be different.
Of course, it is not a battle flag game, so Congressman Jia's point of view is untenable.
First of all, it's not a contest of speed and stability. It's just a choice, a choice of whoever is more suitable.
As Councillor Jia said, the universe has its own dangers, and it is different from the past. So why should Congressman Jia cling to the old republican system?
A new political system that is in line with the cosmic environment is what we need now.
And I think Miss Aya's head of state is exactly what we need.
The danger of the universe is not something that can be sorted out first, second, and finally as Councillor Jia said.
The lives and deaths of 2 billion people are not many. In such a complicated situation, how can it be said that "we are afraid of loneliness and fear".
The management and distribution of materials, the rights and interests enjoyed by citizens, and whether there are restrictions on words and deeds, these are all things that we need to consider. ”
When the audience heard that rights and interests and words and deeds should be restricted, there was a commotion.
"We're worried about being restricted in what we're supposed to have, and that's fine.
But as I said earlier, please put aside your old ideas and consider Aya's proposal from the perspective of astronautics.
The day-to-day management of the spacecraft is handled by the condominium agency, assisted by artificial intelligence. The Führer does not meddle in specific matters.
The only special power enjoyed by the Head of State is the initiation of a state of emergency. If the Head of State deems it necessary, submit a request for a state of emergency to the Condominium.
If emergency authorization is obtained through the Führer, everything on board the ship can be decided.
In the event of a dismissal, the Führer can be forced to pass once, in which case the Führer must step down after the end of the state of emergency and receive a civil trial.
We don't need to worry about who will be in power forever, AI will always be on the side of humanity.
It is a flexible and well-established system. We have never held anyone high, not before, and never in the future.
Under this system, we can ensure the safe navigation of the spacecraft to the maximum extent possible with the greatest rights and interests of the people.
And Councilor Jia's second point, maintaining the safety of the spacecraft itself is even more unnecessary.
No matter what kind of system, it will make great efforts to maintain the safety of the spacecraft, whether it is daily maintenance and management, or emergency measures in an emergency, that system will not reduce the investment in this area.
Third, how are we going to face a cosmic-scale catastrophe, is it really as powerless as Councilor Jia said, is there really no way at all?
Of course not, at least we can run faster when we decide to run away. Wang Qian told a joke, but unfortunately no one laughed.
"The situation that will happen to the ship is complex, whether it is a disaster outside the ship or various events inside the ship.
These require us to be able to make decisions before the situation is beyond our control.
Think about it, the emergency landing of the spacecraft is not to be under unified command. There is turmoil in the spaceship, is it necessary to stabilize it as quickly as possible.
Another example is encountering an alien civilization, contact or non-contact, you can't let people wait.
The situation of the ship in the future will undoubtedly be more complicated than I have said, and in this case, maintaining an immutable republic is a danger in itself.
So I think Miss Aya's proposal is wise, at least until a more reasonable system emerges. ”
