In front of a pastoral complex of buildings in Sector A, a sapient creature is standing in front of the fence, shouting inside.

"Hey, Ares, don't take care of your worthless sweet potatoes anymore, today the people of our community agreed to go to the 3169 mining base together to participate in voluntary labor, will you go?"

At this moment, the morning sun is rising, and the artificial sun emits a warm golden light, reflecting the light of the earth. The climate is pleasant, neither hot nor cold, and the warm wind blows, bringing with it an unknown floral scent. In the middle of a large pastoral area, this small village is very peaceful.

At the moment, Ares is busy in a sweet potato field in his backyard. This crop from the ancient age of Earth was surprisingly popular with the people of the Pegasus civilization, and quickly became their favorite food. After finding a woman of the same clan to marry and live a comfortable life, Ares planted some in his own home.

Although home robots can provide a series of tasks from planting to harvesting to cooking, it is generally believed that such things are grown and harvested by themselves, and finally enjoyed to achieve a sense of accomplishment.

Ares stood up, patted his somewhat tired body, and responded, "Mr. Rare, I'm busy with some things today, so I won't go today, you and the neighbors can go." ”

The intelligent creature known as Mr. Riel said with some dissatisfaction: "Ares, this is the sixth time that you have refused to participate in voluntary labor, and the upper echelons of society are doing their best to worry about our civilization, even Dean Xu, Lord No. 2, and Mr. Jason have all died due to overwork, and the soldiers are fighting bloodily on the front line. Our civilization has reached the most critical moment, and it is the time for us to contribute to our civilization, but you still have the heart to plant sweet potatoes. ”

Ares' body stiffened slightly, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Riel, I really have something to deal with today. ”

"Hmph." Mr. Riel snorted disapprovingly, turned and left.

After Xiao Yu chose to make the current situation public and tell all walks of life, not only did there be no turmoil in the Shenzhou civilization, but the intelligent creatures of all races were united unprecedentedly. A large number of intelligent beings spontaneously organized themselves to participate in voluntary labor in various industrial bases of the Shenzhou civilization, and they either went to the mining bases to participate in mineral gathering labor. Or go to the purification workshop, and some people choose to go to the spaceship manufacturing center to work. Artists are creating all kinds of literary and artistic works, encouraging people to persevere until the last moment, encouraging people to have the confidence to win; Architects are responsible for building a large number of buildings that are comfortable to live in and aesthetically pleasing. so that these people who participate in voluntary labor can rest comfortably; Nutritionists take on the role of chefs and are responsible for providing these people with exquisite and delicious food.

The entire Shenzhou civilization has been fully launched. From top to bottom. No one is wasting their time. But Ares is an exception. Even. In the eyes of his neighbors, Ares was simply a weirdo.

He never cared about social welfare, he didn't seem to care about the survival of civilization, he never participated in community gatherings, he never participated in voluntary labor. It seems that his whole world is just his slightly dilapidated house and the sweet potatoes grown in his backyard.

Mr. Riel is gone. Ares continued back in the backyard, carefully tending to the sprouted sweet potato seedlings.

"My dear, I think we should talk." At this time. Ares' wife, a slightly more ordinary Pegasus civilized female intelligence, leads her and Ares' love crystallization as their child comes out of the house.

Ares' body stiffened slightly, then stood up and said with a smile, "Honey, what's the matter?" ”

"You've disappointed me." Ares' wife said, "When I first met you, I always thought you were a responsible, responsible, brave and resolute man, but now I find that this does not seem to be the case. You've disappointed me. ”

The smile on Ares' face faded and eventually disappeared completely. He said slowly: "I take care of you and the child, I give you all the love, isn't that enough?" ”

"Not enough, it's not enough." His wife shook her head and said with some sadness: "A man's career should be outside the family, not guarding his wife and children all day long." There are so many intelligent beings who have come together to form our civilization, and civilization provides security, order, and dignity, as well as culture, and welfare for every individual in the civilization, and when civilization encounters danger, as a member of civilization, shouldn't we use our strength to contribute to civilization? Let's not forget that our family can only survive if civilization survives. But in these respects, you have disappointed me. ”

"Isn't it up to those decision-makers to decide the way forward for civilization?" "Like the members of the Social Council, the Military Council, like the Planet, or the Administrator who inhabits the spaceship, or ...... Master? ”

"The Shenzhou civilization is the civilization of all intelligent beings of ours, not the civilization of one person or one organization." His wife looked him in the eye and said, "It's our civilization, it's everyone's civilization." For the sake of the continuation of civilization, we should also make our own contributions. We are for ourselves, not for some interest group. ”

His wife lowered her head, her voice a little sad: "I don't want our neighbors to call me when I go out, this is the wife of Ares who has nothing to contribute, I don't want to be when I go out, they are all secretly saying that our family is a moth to civilization." ”

"Dad, when I was in school, they were all ostracizing me, bullying me, they said that my dad was useless, he didn't contribute anything to our civilization, they said that you were just enjoying the protection of civilization but at ease, Dad, you have always been a hero in my heart, you tell me, what they say is false, they are all lies, Dad, you are not that kind of person, tell me, okay?" At this time, the young intelligent creature spoke in his distinctively immature voice.

"Ares, think about it yourself, if you refuse to go, then I will go with our children to participate in voluntary labor." After saying this, she took the child by the hand, turned around and left the place.

Under the early morning sun, Ares, who was standing in the sweet potato field, trembled slightly.

"The Shenzhou civilization has destroyed the Pegasus civilization, destroyed the fifth-level civilization alliance, and cut off our hope of becoming a sixth-level civilization, and the Shenzhou civilization is my mortal enemy......"

"Hello Ares, I'm Xiao Yu." At this moment, Xiao Yu's voice came from the air, and a flying robot gradually revealed its appearance in the void and projected Xiao Yu's image.

Ares regained his composure in an instant. At this moment, he seems to have become the leader of civilization who leads hundreds of billions of people.

"Xiao Yu, what's the matter?"

"Our civilization has reached a critical moment of life and death, all my attempts have failed, and at this time, I need your help." Xiao Yu said slowly, "As an outstanding person who can be compared to Luca No. 2, or even surpass it in some aspects, I believe you have the ability to help me." ”

"Oh?" Ares had a sarcastic smile on his face, "Why should I help you?" Just because you destroyed my civilization and cut off our hope of advancing to a sixth-level civilization? ”

"I want you to see something you don't know." Xiao Yu didn't distinguish on this question, but waved his hand. As a result, a large amount of video data was projected.

Among these pictures, there are pictures of the happy life of the people of the original Pegasus civilization, pictures of the people of the original Pegasus civilization working hard in the mining base and foundry, and pictures of controlling spaceships and fighting hard.

"You see, the people of your civilization live very well in the Shenzhou civilization. They love this civilization, and they have forgotten those dark days of the past. They are also contributing to our Shenzhou civilization. Ares, I would like to ask you a question about what kind of hatred you stand on. If you still consider yourself the leader of the Pegasus civilization, then seeing that the people of the Pegasus civilization are living happily now, you should let go of this hatred. If you are hating me as an individual, then you are nothing more than a despicable person who forcibly kidnaps the morality of Pegasus civilization for his own selfishness. ”

"For the sake of their own hatred, regardless of the survival of civilization - you must know that the Shenzhou civilization also includes the people of the original Pegasus civilization. If they know that their leaders have the power to save civilization, but they refuse to contribute to civilization because of that ridiculous hatred, then I don't know if they will hate you or support you. ”

"Ares, don't be obsessed anymore, now is the time for you to stand up and contribute to our Shenzhou civilization. Remember, the Shenzhou civilization is not mine alone, nor is it yours alone, it belongs to all of us. Xiao Yu said lightly.

Ares' body trembled slightly. Xiao Yu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"For the sake of my wife and children, so that they can openly say to others, my husband, my father is a hero who saves civilization......" Ares sighed softly, and after ten minutes, he raised his head: "Tell me if there is a problem that I need to solve." (To be continued......)
