Episode 42 The Truth About Earth
Linda feels that during this period of time, he has lived a life of a local tyrant who is drunk and drunk and singing every night, just like the life of the upper-class rich class depicted in "The Great Gatsby", no, it is more lively, more exciting, more gorgeous, more chic, and more crazy than that.
For more than two weeks, the whole planet has received the two Linda with the most solemn ceremony. First of all, the high-ranking people of the earth took turns to meet with Linda and Zagara, and entertained them with the highest courtesy. When each of the senior leaders saw Linda, they were like big fans of superstars, and they were very enthusiastic and excited to talk, hug, take photos, and even compete for autographs. The leaders of various countries listened attentively and curiously to Linda's narration and introduction of Lingxing and Blue Star on various occasions such as the global live conference, and regarded Linda as a great figure like a creator hero, a human hero and a historical pioneer, and competed to wear all kinds of honors and laurels on Linda's head.
The high-level officials of the earth also enthusiastically took Lin Da to visit all parts of the earth, taking him to understand the various changes on the earth over the past two hundred years, especially the changes in science and technology and the natural environment, and at the same time, they did not forget to take Lin Da around the various colonial bases in the solar system. Their giant flying saucers landed in the city one moment, flew to the moon through wormholes, then flew to Titan, and then flew to Uranus. Lynda received the warmest welcome from the crazy people in each city, and at the same time, according to the arrangements of each country, she made some simple speeches, actively interacted with the people, and participated in various banquets, dances, evening parties, welcome ceremonies and other social activities. Celebrities, dignitaries, celebrities and other people from all walks of life all over the world are anxious to get to know Linda and Zagara, and hold various banquets, celebrations and balls for the two of them day and night, which makes Linda even more overwhelmed. Returning to the earth, except for the first day of the official meeting with the earth's high-level at the base in the Gulf of Aden, Linda hardly had to stop, and every day was full of arrangements, asked to participate in this, participate in that, meet this, meet that, countless honors, fame, treasures and beauties surrounded him tightly, and even caused him a little disgust.
It is true that Linda returned to the earth after more than two hundred years, and naturally had great curiosity and emotion about everything on the earth, at least he should go to see his hometown that he had not seen for many years, meet the descendants of his family and relatives and friends, visit the affairs of human society, etc., and of course, take Zagara around for a visit, these are all human feelings. The higher levels of the earth also arranged all this for Lynda very appropriately, very appropriately, and very flatteringly, which made Lynda feel very comfortable, very happy, and very satisfied.
However, Linda did not only come back to visit and visit relatives, he also had an important mission, which he never forgot and did not dare to forget. However, the various social activities arranged for him by the top of the earth filled his daily schedule, but he did not mention the credentials submitted by Linda during the meeting. It's not that Lynda doesn't want to discuss business with the top of the earth, but his trip is for the purpose of asking for help, and it would be a bit rude to rashly refuse the other party's kindness, and he doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on the cooperation between the two sides. However, after several days of waiting, Lynda finally got a little impatient.
"It's obvious, they just can't believe you. ”
Zagala lay comfortably on a large chair, but it wasn't the automatic massage chair that was specially equipped for them in the room, but a mass of seats transformed by spells. The massage chair that the earthlings had prepared for them, Lynda had found at least a dozen different kinds of high-level covert eavesdropping and sensing instruments. No matter what the purpose of the earthlings was in doing this, whether they had malicious intentions or not, at least, Linda would not sit on it, and he didn't want to be spied on when he and Zagala were there.
Not only this chair, but the entire room was equipped with hundreds of various sensing devices, all of which could track and record the spiritual characteristics of the two of them. Of course, these little tricks can't hide the divine consciousness of the two, in fact, from the first day they came to the earth, the earthlings have tried their best to track and observe them in various ways, but because of the situation, Linda didn't say it. But even so, the two of them also cast a spell to make all the earth exploration devices around them fail, and the probe only saw the traces of the activities of two ordinary people, without any real discovery.
"yes, these bastards, it's so shameless!" said Linda, a little annoyed, clenching her fists hard.
"How? can you start thinking about my suggestion? If you don't give them a little bit of power, they won't listen to us. Zagala held her palm, and a fist-sized ball of spiritual power light appeared in her palm, and then she grabbed it violently, and this ball of light was like a watermelon dropped from the sky, and it was immediately clawed to pieces, just like her style of acting.
"Gala, that's not going to work! Forcing them will only backfire, we want their cooperation and support, and I need their sincerity, not their hostility. But the damn thing is that these guys don't seem to believe us. Linda shook his head, sighed again, and lay down heavily on the spell bed, and said helplessly.
"You don't believe me, to be exact, do you? I'm a standard Upper Realmer, and I'm in the same league as their current enemies, the so-called Aliens. Zagala said nonchalantly.
"Well, I guess so. The current earth seems to be only calm on the surface, but in fact, there are all kinds of internal and external troubles, and there are many things that the top management is worried about. It is understandable to guard against us, beware of our relationship with the so-called alien stars, and have a lot of concerns about the spirit stars behind us. Linda said leisurely, with a glimmer of light in her eyes, as if she had already seen through everything.
"How do you say that there are external troubles, but I know that there are external troubles, aren't they the Protoss invaders?" Zagara turned his head and asked curiously.
Lin Da smiled and said, "The external troubles are just like you said, of course, they are those Protoss powerhouses. Although the current war situation is more favorable to the earth, I am afraid that it is only a superficial situation, after all, their opponent is your upper realm powerhouse, no matter the degree of civilization development or strength is not comparable to the earthlings, although it is only a lone army, but it is impossible without some powerful means, and it is impossible to be easily defeated by the earthlings. Therefore, on the one hand, the high-level of the earth vigorously publicized the war advantage against the Protoss, but on the other hand, they were very careful, for fear of provoking the Protoss, and deployed heavy troops in various core areas of the earth at all times, and always maintained the highest level of vigilance, which shows that the threat of the Protoss is not trivial. You must know this better than I do, right?"
"Of course, Nietzsche was a famous madman, back then... Hey, don't say it!" Zagala smiled lightly, as if remembering something.
"Don't talk about it, what else do you haven't confessed? Are you familiar with that Nietzsche?" Linda glanced at Zagala with a smile, made a joke, and of course did not ask anything, but continued: "As for the internal worries of the earth, I have only seen it through these observations. ”
"You should notice that among all the earthlings we have contacted, all of them who can get in touch with us are big people with heads and faces, and none of them look beautiful and handsome, full of spirit and vitality. ”
"I can also feel that among these people, either they have extremely high IQs, or their physical conditions are particularly excellent, and more of them have both, and many of them have reached the level of physical transformation of cultivators, in the scientific and technological civilization of the earth, to achieve this level, the money required is not a small amount, so these high-level people all look so young, not only because of the development of earth technology, but also because these people can use earth technology as they want. ”
"However, the development of human beings on Earth is not balanced. We have participated in so many large-scale activities, and we have seen a lot of people at the bottom from afar, and those people are not so glamorous in appearance, from the energy value of the crowd, spiritual value and other data analysis, most of the human beings are just an ordinary minority, although compared with when I left the earth, the overall comprehensive quality of the crowd has been greatly improved, but compared with those people at the top of the pyramid, it is still too bad, whether it is intelligence, financial resources, or social status..."
Zagala blinked and asked strangely, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Da spread his hands and said: "Of course, the human beings on the earth are seriously polarized! Think about it, a very small number of people occupy the vast majority of social resources, hold the highest power, and can rely on advanced biotechnology to continuously transform their bodies, increase their intelligence, and continue to extend their lives... Constantly approaching eternal life, what is the difference between this and the high-level rulers of the Xiuzhen civilization. Although the vast majority of ordinary people live a worry-free life, they cannot enjoy so many social benefits because they have very few social resources, nor can they fully enjoy the benefits brought by scientific and technological progress, let alone have no right to speak... I think this is the root cause of the contradictions in human society on Earth!"
Zagala was silent for a moment, and then said with emotion: "That's right, this situation is common even in our upper realm, no matter what kind of civilization system, no matter which galaxy group, whether it is a demon race, a god race, an intensive race, or a science and technology race, it is ruled by a very small number of people, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but the hidden contradictions will also get bigger and bigger, and finally when the contradictions are irreconcilable, there will always be a day when they break out." Many civilizations suddenly collapse every once in a while, die out of themselves, and start from scratch. The funny thing is that it is not the foreign enemy that destroys these civilizations, but themselves. ”
"Alas... So, ah, the laws of the development of civilization are always acquainted... This is also why the high-level of the earth continued to insist on attacking the Protoss even when the other party asked for peace talks. Because only by maintaining this state, the top of the earth can try to transfer the internal contradictions of human society as much as possible, use war to strengthen the internal unity of the entire human society, alleviate internal contradictions, and at the same time intend to consume more useless population, reduce the burden of society, and eliminate internal threats, alas... It's so sad. ”
Linda sighed, and actually revealed the true intentions of the upper echelons of the earth.
During this period of time, although Linda did not have a very in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the earth, he still had a slight understanding of the current equipment of the earth army and the battle situation with the Protoss army. The human army not only has various high-tech weapons such as flying saucers, space battleships, and machine soldiers, but also has formed a large number of combat units like the mecha soldiers of the Blue Alliance. These troops are all composed of ordinary soldiers, all equipped with advanced mecha systems, and robotic subordinates, with powerful attack, movement and defense power, which is much more advanced than the mechs of the Blue Star Army. But no matter how advanced these mechs are, these people still have to go to the battlefield after all, taking huge risks, and they may be killed at any time, not to mention that their enemies are still super opponents like the Protoss, and the casualties must be very large. But I estimate that these ordinary soldiers should all be composed of ordinary classes of human society, and these people have almost no way out except to join the army and fight, so being able to establish combat merits through participating in the war is the only way for the vast majority of ordinary people to rise. ”
Linda's words are quite reasonable, in the decades of battle between the earth and the Protoss, although humans can send a large number of unmanned combat systems to replace human soldiers, they still form a large number of mecha troops controlled by ordinary people to participate in the war, taking advantage of the enthusiasm of ordinary people to make meritorious contributions, and launch an attack on the Protoss without hesitation. But at the same time, the Earth army has also brought huge casualties, so far, the total number of casualties of the human army is as many as one million, the vast majority of which are ordinary people.
"Since they want war, then we can completely introduce them into the war with the demons, which will benefit them and us. The earthlings are so warlike, and the level of development of scientific and technological civilization is not low, even compared with the upper realm, it has reached a level of development close to that of a medium civilization, which is enough to fight against the demons of the spirit star, we must win them over. Zagala reminded.
Linda nodded and said, "Yes, I've thought about this too, but the key is that the upper echelons of the earth have to give us a chance, let us tell these truths, presumably these shrewd guys will not refuse such a request." It's just that we're missing a chance..."
As the two of them were saying this, suddenly, a strong aura invaded from a very far away, and was instantly detected by the keen divine sense of the two, and the two immediately glanced at each other with a sharp heart.
"Look, the opportunity has come, and it has come. Lynda smiled.
