Chapter 769: The Pegasus Civilization's Choice
Whether or not to help the Shenzhou civilization is a very difficult choice, especially for the Pegasus civilization, which has just regained its prosperity.
The leader of the Pegasus civilization stood on top of a building on the highest level of the planet, looking down at the ground beneath his feet. What he saw was countless shuttle aircraft, some near-Earth vehicles that could only be used to fly in the atmosphere, and some spaceships that could shuttle between different planets and different star systems, and on the ground, there were countless leisure vehicles, similar to cars, and people were shuttling everywhere between high-rise buildings, and every Pegasus civilized citizen had a confident smile on his face.
This is only what the leaders of the Pegasus civilization see. He also knew that in places he couldn't see, there were more people struggling for civilization, whether it was on the cold and lonely alien industrial planet, or in the deep and dark universe, or on the habitable planet that had not yet been transformed and the environment was still harsh, there were countless people struggling.
In order to get to the current level, the entire Pegasus civilization has overcome difficulties again and again, withstood blow after blow, and finally ushered in the situation that countless people dream of. The leader of the Pegasus civilization knows that if he chooses to go against the Sweeper civilization and help the Shenzhou civilization, then all this will be lost.
From the perspective of interests, he should not hesitate to give up the idea of helping the Shenzhou civilization, but the leader of the Pegasus civilization cannot make this decision anyway. He recalled what he had said in the past, when the Shenzhou civilization saved his civilization twice.
"Our Pegasus civilization will definitely repay your Shenzhou civilization, even if the price paid is the whole of civilization." The oaths of the past are still echoing in their ears, but the current leader of the Pegasus civilization hesitates in his heart.
"I think we should shrink our strength and hide ourselves as hard as we can. In the event that this is not possible, it is even possible to abandon this place to avoid the Sweeper civilization. A high-ranking official said, "There is no need for us to sacrifice our own interests to help an enemy who has destroyed our civilization." ”
"Yes, there is absolutely no need for us to make such a huge sacrifice. How many people have we sacrificed and how much suffering have we endured to get the current situation? How can we give up so easily? ”
"I am against rescuing the Shenzhou civilization."
"I'm against it."
The senior officials who participated in the meeting unanimously chose to oppose it. However, the vision of the leader of the Pegasus civilization is even more distant.
"I decided to launch a referendum to decide whether to go to the rescue of the Shenzhou civilization." The leader said faintly, "None of us are qualified to make a decision on this issue. I have decided to leave this question to all the people of our civilization to choose. ”
At the behest of the leader, a huge press conference was held. Within the Pegasus civilization. All the media with a bit of weight gathered here, and countless cameras were aimed at the leader standing on the podium.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, because I have an important matter to tell you about the future of our civilization, and it is difficult to make a decision on this issue. That is why I decided to hold a referendum so that we can all make a choice together. ”
The voice of the leader of the Pegasus civilization is transmitted to all parts of the Pegasus civilization through various instruments, whether it is a bustling city or a quiet countryside. Or a desolate unexplored planet. Mining planets, all places where the people of the Pegasus civilization exist, can receive this message.
Workers stopped working, tourists stopped excursions, students stopped studying, scientists stopped research......
"Here's the thing." The leader of the Pegasus civilization said lightly. "Our 715 scientific research base detected such a picture some time ago. Through analysis, we confirmed that these were two sixth-level peak civilizations at war. ”
"Sixth-level peak civilization is at war? Our Pegasus civilization has only just entered the sixth-level civilization category, and we haven't even mastered the method of cutting the small universe. The speed of the ship has just broken through a hundred times the speed of light, and our civilization does not have the strength to participate in such a battle......"
"Are we going to abandon our present circumstances and once again step into exile...... Sixth-level peak civilization is not something we can resist......"
Such chatters are heard all over the Pegasus civilization.
"According to the information we have obtained, we have confirmed that these are two sixth-level peak civilizations that have entered the late stage of the war, and their current total number of warships does not exceed 100,000, and the largest warship is only a national-level spaceship. This means that our civilization already has the strength to intervene in this war - our Pegasus civilization currently has a total of about 10 million warships, and the flagship of the civilization is a planetary-class ship, and our strength is enough to intervene in this war, but it will require us to do it with all our might. ”
"This means that if we choose to intervene in the war, our thousands of years of accumulation will be ruined, our quiet and peaceful life will be shattered, and we will lose all our ...... We can choose not to intervene in this war, but I want to tell you that one of the parties in this war of sixth-level peak civilization is the Shenzhou civilization, and the Shenzhou civilization is at an absolute disadvantage. If we don't intervene, the Shenzhou civilization will be destroyed. ”
After saying this, the leader of the Pegasus civilization paused. And at this moment, there was an uproar in the Pegasus civilization.
"Is it the Shenzhou civilization? When the Shenzhou civilization saved our Pegasus civilization twice, we once vowed that when the Shenzhou civilization encountered danger, no matter what the price was, we would save them and help them in order to repay their kindness to us. ”
"However, we have gone through countless hardships and obstacles to have our current achievements, our civilization is once again full of vitality, once again full of hope, countless people's sacrifices, countless people's struggles have brought us to the point where we are now, if we intervene in this war to help the Shenzhou civilization, we will lose all these ......"
"Don't forget, it was the Shenzhou civilization that destroyed our Pegasus civilization in the first place! If it weren't for the Shenzhou civilization, we would still be slowly developing in our original galaxy at this moment, our civilization would not collapse, and we would not embark on the road of escape. The culprit of all this is none other than the Shenzhou civilization! ”
"However, the reason for the outbreak of the war is on our side, the original Shenzhou civilization came with the purpose of peaceful trade, and the previous leader of our Pegasus civilization launched an order to attack the Shenzhou civilization...... This is not to blame the Shenzhou civilization. ”
Countless voices of discussion resounded throughout the Pegasus civilization.
"I know it's hard to make this choice, and although I am the leader of our civilization, I am not qualified to intervene with my will in such an event. So I decided to call a referendum to decide on it. Any citizen with independent criminal qualifications can cast their own vote. We have two choices, to help the Shenzhou civilization, or not to help the Shenzhou civilization. The fate of the future of our Pegasus civilization is in the hands of each and every one of us. From now on, you can use any computer terminal to complete the vote. The voting period is three hours. The leader of the Pegasus civilization said.
Countless Pegasus civilians immediately opened their personal computer terminals. Sure enough, a voting interface had appeared on top of their personal computer terminals.
"Before you start voting, I want to ask you a question." The leader of the Pegasus civilization said, "I want to ask you what is the driving force and source that has supported the development of our civilization to the point where it has been. ”
"I know that everyone has their own answer to this question, and in the same way, I have my own answer. My answer is that there is only one driving force and source that has supported the development of our civilization to the present, and that is the spirit of our civilization, which is the national spirit of our civilization that never gives up, never gives up, perseveres to the end, does what it says, takes revenge, and repays kindness! It is precisely because of this spirit that our civilization has been able to overcome all the obstacles and go all the way to the present, and has achieved achievements that we could never have imagined before! When we encountered the black hole, we did not give up, and finally survived to the Shenzhou civilization to save us, where we made our first promise; When we were trapped in a small universe of abandoned sixth-level civilizations, we persevered to the end, and then we were saved by the Shenzhou civilization once again - although we still lost this small universe in the end. ”
"The Shenzhou civilization has saved our civilization twice, and we have twice made a promise that when the Shenzhou civilization encounters danger, we will save the Shenzhou civilization no matter what the cost is. Now that Heaven has put this test before us, it is now our chance to test whether the spirit of our civilization is as indestructible as we imagined. ”
"I was thinking that I would be willing to make any sacrifice in order to maintain this spirit of our civilization. If our final vote is against the spirit of our civilization, then I will personally drive a spaceship to rescue the Shenzhou civilization and honor our dead civilization spirit with my own death. This is my personal choice, and as a citizen of the Pegasus civilization, I choose to vote yes. I am in favor of rescuing the Shenzhou civilization. Now, make your choice. ”
Voting has begun. The leader of the Pegasus civilization gently closed his eyes. Three hours later, his eyes opened again.
At this moment, his tears couldn't help but flow out, and he muttered to himself: "The spirit of our civilization will continue forever and will never be destroyed." ”
"I order, the fleet sets off and goes to rescue the Shenzhou civilization!" (To be continued......)
