Heaven is unfair, and so is the Galactic Council.

On the surface, the Galactic Council guarantees equality for all races, but in reality, those races in the Council who cannot master the sixth-level warp have always been regarded as second-class citizens.

All the major events in the galaxy have a say in these second-class races, which are infinitely close to zero, and although they have the right to vote, they cannot choose to make their own choices at will - in order to be protected by the powerful races, these races will generally choose to be consistent with the most powerful races in this spiral arm.

The powerful races of each arm and each sector take this kind of thing for granted, and no one cares about the wishes of the weak race, and no one wants to listen to the voice of the weak race. Even some very powerful races will think that "giving these weak people the right to live is already a great gift", and take it for granted that bullying and oppressing the weak races is their own right.

As a second-class citizen of the galaxy, the race has never dared to speak out, because there are too many ways for powerful races to bypass the rules and regulations of the Galactic Council and punish those who dare to disobey their own race.

For a long time, the people of these races were bought and sold as slaves, the colonial star sectors belonging to the race were seized by the powerful races with various "trade agreements", and the planets with precious resources were occupied by the mining companies of the powerful races by means of agreement mining......

Even so, the diplomats of the second-class citizens had to sing the praises of the Galactic Council in the halls of the Galactic Council, thanking the Council for granting them equality.

In fact, the second-class citizens also know that their fate without the Galactic Council will only be more miserable, but as this bullying lasts for more and more, some races gradually appear to have the idea that it is better to have no council, and it is much better to die a gorgeous death in the struggle than to be half-dead now.

And at this time, the human race appeared, a race that was originally only at the bottom of the ranking, but it continued to leap forward, moving forward a little bit in a year on average.

The "second-class citizens" were shocked, their long-abandoned "dreams" began to sprout again, people of insight began to discuss how to follow in the footsteps of mankind, and scientists rekindled their desire to study - before the emergence of mankind, the scientists of second-class citizens were lost in a long life because they could not see any hope of catching up with the scientific progress of the superior race.

"Lost in a long life?" Catherine interrupted Vivien.

"That's right. You see, the scientists of the second-class citizens are constantly researching, but the scientists of the upper races are also researching, and it is well known that the higher the level of science and technology, the faster the research will be when new research is carried out. In other words, second-class citizens who have a technological generation gap between themselves and the upper race will never be able to catch up with the upper race in terms of technology. If this situation persists for a long time, it is natural to lose the spirit of initiative. Do you understand? The 'second-class citizens' are trapped in an invisible cage from which no one can escape. But you humans are different. ”

After Vivien finished speaking, Catherine nodded, and then asked suspiciously, "But what does this have to do with you?" I'm going to ask where you came from. ”

"Of course it has something to do with us. Don't worry. While humanity's ascension ignited the aggressiveness of the lower races, other races launched another plan. They formed a secret alliance and began to secretly interfere with second-class citizens who could not master the fourth level of warp, with the goal of preventing the emergence of the 'next human'. ”

Catherine looked surprised: "There is such a plan?" But it's hard to interfere with the development of a race, right? ”

"No, quite the opposite, it's simple. For example, what if there was an arbitration war between the 110-bit race and the 170-bit race? ”

"The 170-bit race can choose to avoid the war, right?"

"But the 110-bit race has more say in the Galactic Council than the 170-bit, what if the council doesn't finally approve the request to avoid the war? It's true that wars will be fought on fair terms, and based on the Galactic Charter 1700 supplement, the weaker races can devote more troops to the arbitration war when the races with too large ranking gaps are arguing. Seems fair, right? The six-level warp engine of the 110-bit race is useless because it limits the battlefield; The 170-bit race is even stronger. In the end, the 110th race lost the war and cowed several colony systems. And then what? ”

Catherine looked like she had a sudden realization.

"Then the 170 races, damaged in the Arbitration War, simply don't have enough strength to defend their major colonies, and can only focus on the key colonies, and the other colonies will be attacked by pirates - and privateers supported by other races. The strength of the 170th race will continue to decrease, and the recovery of military strength will become slower and slower......"

"That's right, it's just a simple and easy to understand example. Large-scale scientific research projects require a lot of resource investment, and for second-class citizens, the quark sub-research center, which is necessary for the study of the sixth-level warp engine, is an existence similar to a world-class project, and it cannot be built at all if it is carried out by a high-level race. In fact, many races have not even completed the basic theories of the research center, because they do not have the material conditions to study these basic theories. ”

Catherine frowned, "However, the human race has completed these studies very quickly." ”

"Yes, that's why humans are so feared." Vivien said calmly, and then turned back to the original topic, "Except for the extreme method of arbitrating the war, it is more appropriate to call the median races, which more often use infiltration, bribery, and some other means to interfere with the research of second-class citizens. It's like they're choking second-class citizens by the neck. ”

"I see, what you mean by that is that you, and your chief, are the wall-faces of those second-class citizen races, right?"

"What's that?"

"No, don't care." Catherine paused, "Please continue. ”

"Although I don't know what you mean by this exclusive noun that has not been translated into our language, I can understand what you are trying to express. Your guess is right, we were similar beings in the beginning. The second-class citizens of the galaxy are fed up with this confinement and decide to unite and break through the shackles of the sixth-level warp. ”

"Why are you obsessed with the sixth-level warp tempo......"

"It's not just a metric. In fact, the race that has mastered the sixth-level warp is much stronger than the four-level warp race in interstellar warfare, and the four-level warp means that we will never be able to take the initiative in the war. Although even with the same level of warp speed, most of them will not be able to defeat the powerful race, after all, the basic technology is too far behind, but it is much better than defeating without using the basic technology. In short, a secret alliance between races was established, and it was there that I met the man you now consider the big boss. ”

Vivien squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, as if she was reminiscing about some happy past.

(Tomorrow's goal is to finish all the stories of the reminiscences.,That is,It's likely to be five more tomorrow) (To be continued.) )
