In the No. 1 conference hall of the Golden Autumn Garden. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhou Chen and his entourage returned from the headquarters of the Science and Technology Committee, they closed the door of the conference hall and began internal discussions.

Now that it has been confirmed that the technology given by the Blue Horse Consortium is real, then how to reply to the Gullas must set the tone as soon as possible.

Zhou Chen sat down, looked around at the people present, and asked, "What do you think, put them forward and let's discuss them together." ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Chen turned his attention to the chief call of the Civil Administration Committee, Edwin.

Seeing this, Edwin knew that he had to show his attitude, so he coughed lightly and said, "We now know that this Blue Horse Consortium is a loose alliance composed of the Pegasus civilization and the other eleven civilizations, and its overall strength is about the level of the late third-level civilization, which is very powerful in the universe. ”

Everyone present couldn't help but nod, the late stage of the third-level civilization is considered the top among the low-level civilizations.

"Our Earth Fleet is still relatively weak, and the universe pursues the law of the dark forest, and there are very few civilizations that can really grow up, which means that our future is full of crises."

"Since the other party is so strong, and the alliance itself is a helping organization based on scientific and technological contributions, and the important thing is that they have thrown an olive branch to us, then in my opinion, we might as well consider joining them!"

Zhou Chen nodded slightly, knowing that Edwin was inclined to join this Blue Horse Consortium.

Although the Earth fleet is now developing well in the Poseidon Galaxy, who dares to guarantee that the Poseidon Galaxy will always be hidden in the universe and remain so peaceful? Rather than blindly exploring alone in this unknown universe and bearing the risk of possible extinction, it is better to seek a practical and powerful backer to get shelter.

But then he frowned, and thought of the other side.

Although it is said that after joining the Blue Horse Consortium, you can quickly improve the level of civilization and get a certain amount of protection, but the price is not small, that is, the Earth Fleet is very likely to be bound to a fixed framework!

"I'm against it!"

It was Liu Qianjiao, the chief of the Military Forces Committee, who spoke, and Admiral Liu looked around, and finally fell on Edwin, "Although it seems like a good choice to join this Blue Horse Consortium, I think it's a very reckless act. ”

"Throwing away a more long-term future for the sake of short-term security certainly makes us safer, but it also inevitably makes us subject to others and unable to have independent power, as a soldier, I oppose this kind of fear of risk and choose to surrender!"

After Liu Qianjiao's speech, the entire conference hall began to discuss.

Now the heads of the two agencies have come up with diametrically opposed opinions, which makes this discussion smell of gunpowder from the start.

At this time, a member of the Civil Administration Council stood up and said, "I agree with President Edwin's idea that we must not put our people in danger by blindly pursuing ourselves and showing personal heroism. ”

"It is important to understand that this is an important issue for the survival of civilization, and it involves the lives of millions, hundreds of millions of people, not a simple question of winning or losing a battle. Just as we have found an oasis in the desert, should we be afraid that there are already people in this oasis and miss it? ”

"I'm against it!" Another person stood up, "It is precisely because the future of the entire civilization is involved that we cannot rashly lose our autonomy!" We cannot focus our thinking on the worst that has not yet happened, you just said that in order to avoid the danger of the destruction of the fleet, but this did not happen, and it will not necessarily happen! ”

"But if we join the Blue Horse Consortium, it is certain that we will lose some of the autonomy that independent civilizations have, this is certain!"

With his speech, the scene once again had a heated discussion.

Then several high-level officials came forward to express their opinions, both in favor of joining and those who did not, and the hall gradually quarreled with the smell of gunpowder.

The two sides of the disagreement are eager to step forward and slam the table in front of the dissenters. But the system of the meeting made them stop this impulse!

Communication is possible, but it absolutely must be done in an honest and pragmatic manner!

Zhou Chen listened quietly, and also felt a great headache, originally, he didn't want to join the Blue Horse Consortium, because the biggest impact was undoubtedly him, the captain, although it was not so exaggerated as the power of the side, but no one wanted to have a prince on his head, right?

Even if the Blue Horse Consortium's decision-making method is a round table, he feels a little unfree. More importantly, when different civilizations come together to meet together, the decisions made do not necessarily take into account all civilizations, and there must be a distinction between policy highlands and policy depressions, which is a little more uncertain than the self-serving decisions made by a single civilization.

However, the science and technology sharing platform of the Blue Horse Consortium is very attractive, and he is a little unable to make a choice for a while.

Turning his head, he looked at the members of the advisory group who were attending the meeting: "Chairman Gu, what do you think?" ”

Gu Qiushi used to be the chairman of a big country in the East and had very rich experience in governance, and after joining the advisory group, Zhou Chen still called him "chairman" to show respect.

Now there is a lot of noise in the conference hall because of different views, and Zhou Chen also wants to hear their opinions.

Gu Qiushi thought about it for a while, and said with a light smile: "Actually, whether or not to join the Blue Horse Consortium is nothing more than the ratio between gains and losses!" ”

"Join, then the Earth Fleet can achieve rapid development in a short period of time, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about security issues, these are the gains, and the losses are the loss of overall control, to use a simple analogy, if the Blue Horse Consortium wants to go to a place, will our Earth Fleet also follow?"

Go?

Leave the Poseidon Galaxy and follow them outside?

After listening to Gu Qiushi's speech, many people in the quarrel quieted down and seriously considered this issue.

"And once we join this alliance, we are bound to follow the scientific and technological requirements of the alliance to develop, and after a long time, we will become a deformed civilization, and it will be difficult to break away from the alliance in the future."

Seeing that everyone began to think deeply, Gu Qiushi nodded slightly, and said: "And if you don't join, the benefit lies in the fact that we have preserved our own integrity, and all decisions are made for the sake of better development of this civilization. ”

"The failure lies in the fact that we have lost the opportunity to exchange and share technology with advanced civilizations, and for this reason, we may miss the opportunity for civilization breakthroughs, and because of the loss of protection, civilizations will be far more likely to suffer uncertain dangers in a weak period than if they are to join alliances."

"It's really hard to decide how to choose." Gu Qiu said.

Zhou Chen nodded: "Actually, this is a gamble, whether it is a short-term bet or a long-term bet!" ”

"More precisely, this is a bet on the self-confidence of civilization!" Wu Zhongping of the advisory group went straight to the essence of the problem.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ming, Theresa, Meplaf, Wang Lang and others nodded one after another.

"When it comes to civilized self-confidence, I don't think we need to be so cowardly!" A big grinning voice sounded, everyone looked over, and saw Zhou Chen's friend, Li Kaiyan snapped and closed the notebook in front of him, "Anyway, we are all civilizations with four-star literacy!" ”

"How many years ago, when my friend asked me what I would do if Earth was invaded by an alien civilization?"

"My answer is, we can't beat it, can't we hide? If I were given the opportunity, I would definitely lead mankind to work hard to develop science and technology in the little time I have left, and then rush out of the earth and flee to the depths of the vast universe! ”

"But when it was later confirmed that aliens were indeed coming to invade the earth, I was confused again! Because I doubt my own abilities, not only do I doubt my ability to lead everyone, but I also doubt us as human beings! ”

"But what about the end result?" Li Kaiyan asked rhetorically.

"We really escaped! I may not really have the ability to lead you, but one of us does! In the same way, we humans are not without this potential, at least we have adapted to life in the universe, and in just a few decades, we have developed to the point where we are now! ”

"So when it comes to this choice, we should think about it, our human civilization ...... There is no self-confidence in this! ”

Yes!

Don't cowardly!

Then you should bet on the long term!
