Chapter 383: The First Empire's Journey
Many, many years ago, Casto, who had not yet made his mark in the Land of Light, discovered that the real people of the Land of Light he had seen in this world seemed to have a very, very, very hidden, very, very common, very strange sense of shame.
The moral standards of the people of the Land of Light, the innate sense of responsibility for the peace of the universe, this is a very outrageous thing that has been mentioned again and again.
I don't know when it started, maybe from the moment the plasma spark tower was lit up, the people of the Land of Light, once they didn't move towards peace in their minds, they would subconsciously feel a sense of shame and shame.
It is easy for people to feel shame in fact, it is difficult to become the kind of person who is rebellious in the broad sense of society, because shame is the moral emotion of self-consciousness and self-condemnation caused by people feeling inferior to themselves.
The people of the Land of Light have extremely high moral standards, which makes them in this state of self-condemnation and self-reflection almost all the time.
Shame and moral standards as well as social atmosphere, there is a phenomenon of mutual influence and mutual promotion, and the country of light directly raises this promotion to the limit, everyone living in the country of light is invisibly accepting the supervision of self, others and society,
Of the adventures Torrecchia and Taylor did when they were young, what really thrilled them was the adventure itself?
Adventure is exciting, of course, but that's only part of the reason.
Casto believes that for Taylor and Torrecchia, the adventures that really fascinate them, that really stand out from the rest of the way of life in the Land of Light,
In fact, the bizarre 'sense of betrayal' that arises when taking risks, they are doing something completely unrelated to peace, their subconscious and rational are constantly feeding back a signal to their brains, and everything they do is contrary to the social standards of the Land of Light.
For 99.99% of the people in the Land of Light, after receiving this signal, they will immediately choose to return to the 'right path' and be a good citizen of the Land of Light.
However, Torrecchia and Taylor, two people who were already special in the Land of Light, together managed to resist this sense of shame and allow them to become rare 'problem children' in the Land of Light.
If you put it on Earth, it's like those rebellious spiritual guys, do they really all think that the things they do are cool? It's not that none of them realize that their actions are actually stupid, but the sense of rebellion that is different from tradition makes them addicted to it.
Severn's current self-analysis of himself is somewhat similar to Castor's analysis, of course, Severn did not find himself a so-called rebellious 'spiritual guy', but he found that in the unique environment of the empire, it is difficult for him to give birth to that so-called shame.
Of course, this is not because he has a problem himself, but because of the hellish place of the Empire. The people he was able to reach, the ones with the best moral level, were also hooligans, pickpockets, fraudsters and the like in other places in the universe.
The vast majority are not extreme terrorists, perverted murderers, potentially dangerous anti-human elements, militarists.
At least a careerist, a super capitalist or the like.
Because the moral standards of the people of the empire are too low, no matter what Severn, a person from the country of light, does in the empire, his natural sense of shame is difficult to react to.
It's like in the Land of Light, if you inadvertently have the idea of hitting someone, you will accept self-scrutiny, but in the Empire, if you have the idea of hitting someone, but you will be looked down upon by others,
All of Severn's previous battles were about peace, so he rarely got a taste of what pure combat was like, but don't the people of the Land of Light like fighting in their bones?
As a civilization with a very martial folk style, the people of the Land of Light actually like to fight, but few of them can come to such an environment and feel the joy of fighting wholeheartedly.
However, after all, Severn is a planetary observer of the 'experiential school', and his way of investigating in the Empire originally required investment in order to feel the particularity of the Empire.
What Severn didn't know was that at the same time, another member of the Ultra brothers had also come to the Empire, and that was the brother closest to him, the first Man.
Severn and Leo entered the empire through the path of Castor, the evil general of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, and the first generation was different, he took the relationship between the other Four Heavenly Kings of the Empire, the wise general Mephiras, and entered the empire.
As a scholar at Ultra University in the Land of Light, he entered the Empire as a freelancer of the Galactic Federation, that is, as a human Hayata, driving a spaceship to travel within the permitted routes of the Empire.
He doesn't intend to reveal his identity, so naturally he can't directly contact the high-level people of any empire like Saiwen, and he can't get close to those arsenals of the empire, but as a scholar, the first generation has its own set of research methods.
If you want to see what the life of a civilized person is like, it may be the fastest way to interview the residents directly, but it may also be the easiest way to be fooled.
As a scholar in the first generation, he knew that as long as he stared at this area, how many materials were transported in every day, and how much garbage was produced, he only needed to count for a period of time, and he could roughly get a glimpse of the daily life of the people in this area.
Of course, the actual algorithm will certainly not be so simple, and various formulas and theories that need to be refined according to local conditions are actually a big project, but fortunately, these are not too difficult for the first generation.
There are two main things that the first generation came here to study.
First of all, the Empire's recent partnership with the Galactic Federation, as well as the development of local commerce in the Empire, or in other words, what the impact of Castor's recent reforms has on the Empire.
Secondly, after Eddie knew that the first generation planned to enter the Imperial Study, he hoped that the first generation could help him investigate by the way, whether the subsequent reaction to the negative energy event caused by Reblondor before the empire had been eliminated.
The first direction of research was actually the first one's own, and as mentioned before, it was a very complex, sociological topic, and as an erudite professor at the University of Ott, he was confident that, given enough time, he would be able to calculate what the current stage of society in the empire would be like, and would be able to assess the future growth and weakness of the empire in all its aspects.
In fact, if the first generation went directly to Casto, or even went directly to Mephiras instead of Casto, he would be able to get the data of these empires directly, although it may not have been calculated and summarized, but with the current delicate relationship between the empire and the country of light, he believes that Emperor Ampera will not mind this,
But who was the first generation?
Among the Otter brothers, even Zoffie would make jokes from time to time, but he didn't know at the beginning, he said that if he didn't laugh, he wouldn't laugh, and the whole person was like an old pedant,
Even because the age difference between Zofie and the other brothers is too big, Zofie has long been in the space guard when his younger brothers are in school, so many times, the first second brother is more like the so-called 'big brother', and Zofie's big brother is more like.' Daddy',
For this kind of important data, the first generation felt that it was necessary for him to come in person, which was responsible for the Galactic Federation and also responsible for the country of light.
The second research project is even simpler, in the eyes of the first generation, he only needs to kill a few wild monsters that no one cares about, and then send the organization back to the Land of Light, to know that the effects of negative energy are still there.
Just when Severn was either training the Leo brothers or "falling" the Empire, a Galactic Federation general-purpose spaceship, painted with the logo of the Science Special Search Team SSSP, began its journey to the Empire.
The first generation was still very experienced in mimicking Hayata, so at the beginning, no one noticed his existence at all, and his actions were very smooth, after all, the empire had originally opened up half of the area's free flight permissions, and there were many private expeditions of the Galactic Federation, although there were not many people who conducted similar sociological investigations, but there was also one,
Among them, the behavior of the first generation was not strange.
Severn constantly records the daily life of those middle and high-level civilizations in the empire with the eyes of planetary observers, and participates in it.
The first generation continued to record the daily life of the middle and lower civilizations of the empire as a traveler and with the eyes of a sociologist.
The only problem is that Severn's behavior is known to everyone, and the behavior of the first generation is only known by Mephiras, at this time, it is necessary to talk about returning to the first generation into the empire.
Why is Mefilas willing to help the first generation, because compared to Castor, Mefilas believes in the judgment of the first generation on the empire,
The reason why Mefilas is willing to help the first generation is simple, because this project was planned by him and the first generation, and they need to determine the current situation and future of the empire without informing Casto, and more precisely, determine whether what Castor is doing in the empire is good or bad.
For the first generation, this helps him to judge whether the empire will pose a greater threat to the universe, and for Mephiras, it helps him to judge whether the old liar Casto is leading the empire down the evil path.
The two hit it off, and Mefilas helped the first get a ticket to the Empire, and in return, the first didn't tell Casto about him.
Then, the problem arose, the first generation and Mefilas cooperated very quickly, but I don't know if Mefilas has been in the country of light for a long time and forgot the atmosphere of the empire, or if he has always been in a high position and doesn't know some unspoken rules at the bottom of the empire,
Just when Hatsudai suddenly remembered that he had another task assigned by Eddie, and casually eliminated a monster that came out of nowhere, he got into trouble.
At that time, the first generation was driving a spaceship to observe a low-level civilization driving a beggar's version of the Atlantis to deliver supplies from the home planet to the outside, and suddenly a Bermuda that didn't look like an adult came out and flew towards the home planet of that civilization, subconsciously, and because he remembered the negative energy thing that Eddie said, the first generation fired light from the spaceship to destroy the monster,
But just as he was piloting the spaceship to try to get the monster organization, a mutation appeared, and the beggar version of the Atlantis fired at him like crazy, and the cause of all this
Let's go back to the evil general of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness, Casto.
After Castor's reform of the Empire, the life of the Empire's low-level civilization was indeed much better than before.
Ships, ports, gyms, and previously cleared waterways, and of course, most importantly, the trading environment that was slowly opened up after Castor's arrival, everything made the life of the empire's low-level civilization much better.
The low-level civilizations that were originally only able to produce and live according to the plan found that after the trade of 'cash crops', their subjective initiative seemed to be much greater, and the materials that could only be produced according to the plan suddenly increased greatly, and they could also produce special products according to the local conditions, and then go to the nearest port to sell these things in exchange for more resources needed for development.
Although this road is still difficult to walk, and the days are much more tiring than before, most civilizations are willing to devote themselves to such production and life.
However, because considering that some civilizations are only good at fighting and not good at others, Casto actually has a hole, that is, if you maintain order and destroy monsters, then you can also go to the official office of the port to exchange for some officially produced and more scarce strategic materials.
Casto thought very well, monsters are equivalent to the 'vermins' that destroy the development of the empire, so mobilizing the masses of the empire to eliminate the 'vermins' is not a wrong thing no matter how you look at it, in fact, this idea comes from some of his previous life's heards about rats and cockroaches in the first place to eliminate the four pests,
However, there is one thing that Casto overlooks, and that is that what he has heard may not be comprehensive, for example, in the later stages of the development of the elimination of the four evils, there is even a 'small black market' that specializes in related transactions.
Again, people in the empire can live without money, but they can't do without goods.
The scene that only appeared in the middle and late stages of the movement to eliminate the four evils on the earth appeared, and on the day that the Imperial Monster Eradication Movement appeared,
Not only the black market, but even some people began to secretly catch wild monsters for breeding and breeding, and after raising them, they were killed and sent to the official for money.
It stands to reason that there should be a special development next.,Disputes for the sake of monsters.,But fortunately, the Imperial people still understand the Imperial People.,Everyone still has basic dignity.,
There is an even older unspoken rule in the empire, if the monster that appears around your home planet is killed by someone else silently, even if the other party is well-intentioned, this is also an endless insult, because it means that the other party is saying to you,
'You shit, I'm afraid this monster will kill you, so I'll help you kill him first.' ’
Because of this unspoken rule, even if the monster is quite valuable, the Imperial people still abide by the bottom line and have not stepped on this bottom line.
Until one day, a powerful ray of light emitted from a spaceship that suddenly appeared in a small Bermuda, and then tried to step forward and take his body away.
This seems to be one thing, but in fact it is two things, the first generation eliminated the monster, which is a humiliation for that civilization, but at this time, if he leaves the body of the monster behind, then in this era, maybe things can still be discussed, after all, in the commodity era, everyone pays attention to a harmonious and wealthy,
But after the first generation eliminated the monster, he didn't even explain it, so he drove the spaceship and tried to take away the monster, in the eyes of the locals, this belongs to yes, you slapped Lao Tzu in the face, and took the thing away triumphantly,
It's too much of a deception!!!
If the first generation hadn't focused on Bermuda at that time, but on that planet, he would have found that almost the same moment he approached Bermuda, a radio wave containing anger was launched not far away, and then with the broadcast of the quantum satellite that was originally laid for the gym, all the ships on the middle and low-level civilizations that Fang Yuan could come over. All took off
In the gang, if someone breaks the rules, then they will be hunted down by the whole gang.
The current first generation is the one who broke the rules.
