Episode 49 Migration Decision

In the evening, Linda, who had already recuperated her spirits, took the computer on the "Hope" and went to the largest conference room of the base, where all the members of the Blue Star Autonomous Group Convention had been waiting for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info Grant, Arden, Connell, Modern, Schroeder, Tang Long, Ivanov, Bizet, Leo, Sonya, and Danny were all here, all smiling and looking at Linda, waiting for him to share all the things he had seen from this outing.

Linda smiled at her companions, and quickly got to the point. He turned on the computer, connected to the stable power supply of the base's power grid, used the projector removed from the "Ark" to type out the pictures and images on the computer, and broadcast all the various recorded images he took in Xiaoyu County, and at the same time patiently and meticulously told everyone about his experience.

Linda spoke very carefully and seriously, not inserting some personal thoughts and experiences. Everyone listened more carefully, and everyone listened to Lin Da's narration of the various customs and systems of the Terran Continent, as well as the various anecdotes of the cultivators, not only were they secretly surprised in their hearts, they heard some thrilling places, and they also let out exclamations from time to time, and at the same time kept asking various questions. It wasn't until more than two hours later that Linda finished all his experiences this time.

"So, do you think we should move to the Terran continent, settle in that Xiaoyu County, and start a new life?"

"Yes, isn't that what we were meant to do in the first place?" asked Linda, feeling a little strange that Grant had asked the question.

Grant frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment, he asked, "But have you taken into account all the other uncertainties? Can we really fit into such a society?" It turned out that Grant was worried about this question.

Lin Da was slightly stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, and asked, "You mean those cultivators, are you worried that those cultivators are not good for us?"

Granette nodded, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I'm worried about. Lo and behold, all of us come from a free, civilized, modern earth, and although we have our own beliefs and opinions, we all agree with the universal values of freedom, equality, and fraternity, and oppose violence, dictatorship, and inequality. But that Terran continent, as you feel, is a society full of blindness, barbarism, violence and blood, poverty and backwardness, and the development level of the overall social civilization is only equivalent to the feudal era of the earth. What's even more terrifying is that there are also powerful and brutal rulers there, that is, those cultivators. They have great power, but they don't have the corresponding morality, they have the power of life and death for all, and we don't have the slightest ability to resist. This is the case in the Terran Continent, is this something we should worry about?"

Grant's words resonated with a lot of people present, and everyone talked about it, even Danny, who had always wanted to go out, didn't say a word at the moment.

Seeing the appearance of everyone, Lin Da thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "President, your words are very reasonable. However, we feel that we should still settle on the Terran continent!"

Linda's firm words made everyone feel quite surprised at once, and Grant looked at him and asked, "Okay, Linda, you must have your reasons for saying that, let's talk about it!"

Linda nodded and said very seriously, "Yes." Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, we must understand a truth, that is, we must leave Blue Star Island in order to have hope for the next development. Because of our limited numbers, and although we have done our best to transform the environment of Blue Star Island, it is only a small island after all, and there are no other human beings. We want to continue to expand production, we want to expand our numbers, we want to do more, we want to make more things on Earth, we can't do it on Bluestar. As the years go by, there will only be fewer and fewer of us, and maybe we, the hundreds, will leave some offspring, but without other humans, the quality of the offspring will be worse and worse. I am afraid that in a hundred years, there will be no more human beings on Blue Star Island, and there will be no trace of our existence in this world. ā€

Linda's words shocked everyone, especially the young Danny and the others, who had a hint of struggle in their eyes. Linda said: "What's more, there are still many young people among us, and there are still many people who have not yet started a family, I believe that many people do not want to stay on this small island for the rest of their lives, and I believe that many people are eager to go out, contact and communicate with the humans here, and even marry and have children, and multiply, so that the civilization of the earth can continue here." Your Excellency, that's my reason. ā€

After Linda finished speaking, the venue suddenly fell silent, everyone had a lot to say, but they didn't know what to say first. Grant lowered his head and pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone, suddenly understood something in his heart, and sighed: "I also know what you are doing, and I understand it very well. I'm not against moving to a new environment, but I'm worried about the dangers that might exist in that unfamiliar world. We don't know anything about the Terran Continent, if those cultivators do something wrong to us, then what should we do? What can we do to resist them?"

He looked at Arden and Connell, two men of about the same age, and said, "Alas... I'm getting old and time is running out. But you are still young, and there is still hope, if the Blue Star people can continue to develop and create the same technology as the earth, maybe they can also crack the secret of the wormhole, so that future generations can take my ashes and return to the earth......"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be even more in awe of the old man. It turns out that Grant has never forgotten where they came from, and has never given up hope of returning to Earth. However, he was worried that people would encounter various dangers after migrating to the new environment, but for the survival and development of the Blue Star Clan, he had to choose to migrate. These two contradictory thoughts have been struggling in his mind, making him hesitate and suffer from gains and losses.

"Are those cultivators really that terrible? We really can't deal with them? Didn't you kill one with a gun?" Danny asked a little unwillingly.

Lin Da nodded and shook his head, and said, "I have only seen 3 cultivators, although their strength is only the bottom of the cultivators, but they are also mortals like us can't compete with them, they can kill mortals in the air with their bare hands." ā€

"Just like we can manipulate alien energy attacks, those mana that they can wield, that is, alien energy?" Tang Long asked again.

"Yes, and they can make more powerful and flexible energy than our magic weapons, and they know all kinds of spells, which is by no means comparable to us mortals. Linda sighed a little helplessly.

"Isn't it okay to use guns?" Schroeder said unwillingly, seemingly unconvinced, fiddling with a homemade large-caliber shotgun in his hand.

Without waiting for Linda to speak, Danny on the side immediately interjected: "Of course you can! Don't you remember that when we were in the Gulf of Aden, weren't the combined fleets of various countries fighting with those shark monsters? Although we don't know what the final result will be, before we are sucked into the wormhole, the human fleet has already gained the upper hand, and we must be the one who wins in the end!"

Linda nodded, agreeing with Danny's statement, and said, "You're right, modern artillery, missiles and other high-powered weapons can indeed kill those cultivators, but the premise is that we have those weapons, and they can only be effective if those cultivators are defenseless." Although the cultivator is powerful, it is not without weaknesses, modern weapons can completely deal with them, and the cultivator I killed was killed by a high-powered pistol from a distance when he was taken by surprise. ā€

"In that case, what can we worry about when we go to Xiaoyu Town?" asked Danny.

"Hehe, you think it's simple! Do you think that we are the earth, and we can have whatever weapons we want? We don't have many guns and missiles in the first place, and we have consumed a lot of them over the years, although some have been produced in this short period of time, how can our production process be compared with the weapons on the earth? The weapons in our hands are still not enough to deal with those cultivators!" Arden, who rarely spoke, shook his head and said helplessly.

"Not necessarily. Linda pondered a little and said: "We can't produce better weapons now, it's not that we can't produce them in the future, if we have enough manpower, skilled workers, and give us a certain amount of time, we may be able to make more advanced and powerful weapons." In that case, it would be possible to compete with low-level cultivators. ā€

"So, do you think we can deal with those cultivators with more guns?" Schroeder asked with some surprise.

Linda nodded and said, "I'm not really sure. But cultivators also have weaknesses, they are also human beings, they have not cultivated to that high-level state that is almost god-like, they can't resist the attack of guns, and most of them are not good at long-range attacks, and they are also very contemptuous of mortals, these weaknesses and loopholes, if we can grasp these, we may be able to defeat them. ā€

Tang Long nodded and said, "Yes, since the alien energy that cultivators can manipulate is cosmic energy and the energy we humans know, it is simple. No matter how powerful they are, as long as the energy released by the weapons made by us mortals is strong enough, I believe that they can also deal with cultivators. ā€

Hearing everyone's discussion, Danny hurriedly proposed: "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up to the mainland, as long as we can develop, establish a certain amount of power, and then gather manpower to make more tools and produce more industrial products under our guidance, and then strengthen our Blue Star Autonomous Group, and even build a modern army!

"That's a good point!" Ivanov and the others excitedly echoed: "As long as we become strong, we don't have to be afraid of the cultivators! Maybe at that time, those cultivators will have to act according to our rules!" As soon as he said this, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

Seeing that everyone was so optimistic, a trace of worry flashed on Grant's face, and he said, "Okay, no matter what, if we really decide to move to the mainland, those cultivators will undoubtedly be the biggest threat to our freedom." If we really go to the Terran Continent, before we have the ability to protect ourselves, we must maintain a modest and cautious attitude, neither expose our origins, nor provoke those cultivators, we must be careful in everything...... However, whether or not to decide whether or not to move to the mainland will have to be decided by a vote of all the members of the autonomous group. ā€

Seeing that Grant did not object to moving to the Terran continent, Linda was naturally very happy, and the others were even more excited, everyone sat together, eagerly looking forward to the various lives on the Terran continent in the future.

The next day, all the members of the Blue Star Autonomous Group gathered together, and Linda, like last night, gave everyone a report on all his experiences on the Terran Continent. The crowd listened attentively and marveled. After Linda finished speaking, many people were very excited, and asked Linda all kinds of questions, some people showed worries, and the whole venue was noisy and shouting, which was much more lively than yesterday's discussion at the convention meeting.

Subsequently, Grant asked everyone to vote on whether to agree to move to the Terran continent en masse. After some thought and hesitation, the people quickly expressed their respective attitudes, and there were more than 100 people who agreed to relocate, and more than 50 people who opposed it.

It was not surprising that not everyone was willing to relocate to a strange and dangerous place, especially when they heard Linda's words about the low status of mortals on the Terran continent and the oppression of cultivators, they were even more afraid of going to the Terran continent. But most people are eager for adventure and extremely curious, but they don't care about it, and they can't wait to fly to the Terran continent to see that strange extraterrestrial civilization. After three days and three nights of study, Grant organized several more discussions with the people of the convention to finally make a decision that would take care of both sides.

Most of the people who supported the migration decided to move to Xiaoyu County in Guiguo on the Terran Continent under the leadership of Linda. Others continue to live on Blue Star Island. If the people who move to Xiaoyu County encounter any accidents in the future, or find that the Terran Continent is not suitable for the life of the Blue Star Clan, then they will all move back to the Blue Star Island and no longer have contact with the Terran Continent. But if two or three years after Lin Da and the others migrated, they can develop well in the Terran Continent and gain a foothold, then another vote will be held to decide whether to bring all the people on Blue Star Island to the Terran Continent and establish a new home together.

When this resolution was proposed, it was unanimously agreed by everyone.
