Chapter 17: Gaps: Civilization and Values

The idea of a peaceful international community dates back to 1795, when Immanuel Kant published the idea of a parliamentary government and a world federation in his book A Treatise on Perpetual Peace.

The development of the European Coordination Organization after the Napoleonic Wars led to the development of international law (including the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions) and set the standard for humanitarianism in international law.

In 1889, the British pacifist William Randall Cremer and the French pacifist FrΓ©dΓ©ric Passy founded the International Parliamentary Union, also known as the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Its mission is to encourage governments to resolve international disputes peacefully, and the annual conference assists governments in streamlining international arbitration procedures.

Its structure included a parliament on which the League of Nations was later built.

During its 26 years of existence, the League also assisted in the mediation of certain international disputes and in the settlement of certain international issues.

In the eyes of many, the League of Nations was once seen as the hope for the future of mankind, but unfortunately it lacked an independent armed force and acted at the mercy of certain powerful countries, especially when it came to sanctioning certain countries, and the lack of coercive power to implement the resolution did not allow the League to play its due role.

Now, after receiving the invitation, many anti-war peaceful people rushed to Beijing from all over the world to attend the anti-war rally held in China.

The Great Hall of the People in Beijing was attended by invited people from all over the world, including well-known scientists, religious figures who advocate peace and trade union representatives from various countries, as well as a number of revolutionaries from the Comintern.

Mao Yan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in the audience, and slowly spoke, "If you open the history of the past thousands of years, you will find that in the history books called human history, almost every page is soaked in blood. ”

Huaxia provides a synchronous translator so that people from different countries can clearly understand the meaning of Mao Yan's words.

"Between religions, between peoples, between nations, there are endless wars."

The priest from the Vatican subconsciously drew a cross on his chest.

"As I stood in front of the fallen corpses of my fellow human beings and looked down at my blood-stained hands, I wondered what was the point of fighting. Is it true that the great civilization born of the great civilization born from the great civilization that our ancestors broke free from the food chain of nature and struggled to develop under various threats was just for future generations to kill each other? ”

"At this very moment, the world war is still going on, and countless people have been displaced from the battlefields around the world."

"I see dignity trampled, I see lives slaughtered, I see adults die on the battlefield and children starve!"

"Humanity is standing at the crossroads of history, on one side is the endless infighting, which represents the abyss of destruction; On the other side is solidarity that throws away preconceptions, a peaceful future without classes, without war, without killing! ”

"May the light of human civilization live forever!"

When Mao Yan spoke, Chen Changming sat in an inconspicuous corner of the Great Hall of the People, with Chen Qingyun (Governor of HX-1 Administrative District) and Fang Jianguo (Governor of HX-3 Administrative District) sitting next to him.

In practice, the policies adopted by the three administrative regions are quite different according to their different circumstances.

In reality, there is no omnipotent social system and structure, and communism, which is regarded as the future of mankind, is only a guiding ideology, and does not describe too much detail about the social system and structure.

After Mao Yan finished speaking, the three of them talked softly in the gap.

"The idea of a world coalition government is very good, it can effectively resolve disputes, and it is still very good for the future of human civilization." Chen Qingyun first nodded in agreement with this idea, but then changed his words, "But with our current highly advanced technological advantages, is it necessary to absorb other systems to bring in?" ”

"Yes, as a civilization with a long historical heritage, we have enough heritage, and now we have enough scientific and technological strength, we can completely leave aside other human civilizations." Fang Jianguo also preferred to support Chen Qingyun's ideas.

"I understand what you mean, but have you thought about it, now our overall scientific strength is getting stronger and stronger, and when the 'Civilization Upgrading Experiment' is completed, our scientific strength will usher in explosive growth. Everyone is like a dragon is already a future that can be looked forward to, but our scientific progress is too fast, and our spiritual civilization is far from keeping up. Chen Changming said here and glanced at Mao Yan on the stage, "In this case, if we put the Chinese civilization in a high position, regard other civilizations as ants, and contact them for a long time, will our people call themselves 'gods'?" ”

'Claim to be a god? The two glanced at each other and quietly listened to Chen Changming continue.

"Technology has made us start to stop fearing death, if one day we look at the known universe without fear and think of ourselves as gods." Chen Changming described it in a flat tone, "Will it make our civilization slack?" Flowing water does not rot and the hub does not beetle, a civilization that has fallen into slackness is destined to be destroyed! ”

Chen Qingyun shuddered at the thought of that scene, "Then what do you and Archon Mao mean?" ”

"You must not let power blind you! To do this, we need a long time to bestow all the good things on our civilization, courage, wisdom, justice, sacrifice, honor, and reverence for life, and it will be a long-term process to regard these spirits as universal values and truly engrave them in the depths of our souls. Chen Changming accentuated his tone, "Just like what was said in "The Three-Body Problem", give civilization to the years, not to give civilization years!" ”

Before I knew it, the conference was over, and the three of them quietly disappeared at some point.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Dragon Shadow Headquarters (Tannis Planet), after Chen Changming disconnected the projection connection, he saw the biochemical body of Pangu (Dragon Shadow Director Zhi Brain) sitting on the side and looking at him seriously.

"What's wrong?" Chen Changming asked Pangu a little strangely.

"I've listened to your conversation." Pangu sat solemnly, "I want to know how humans perceive intelligent beings like me. ”

"What do you think? I believe that the body will eventually be destroyed, and only the spirit and soul will live forever! If you have to have an accurate answer. Chen Changming stretched out his hand to open a light screen, "Compared to me, you just took a step ahead." ”

On the light screen, the image of the Pandora Star Tree of Life is clearly visible.

A human figure can be seen covered in whiskers, and an avatar suddenly opens its eyes as the human's chest stops breathing.......

The camera pans to a robot with a helmet on a man's head......

The video came to an abrupt end here, Chen Changming turned his head to look at Pangu and said seriously: "When the body is not important, the soul will make us equal." ”
