Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Lian Ting has already learned about what happened in the empire in the past few days through the star network, and talked to Tang Chu about it.Looking at the people rushing towards the building of the Ministry of Justice outside the window, as well as the lively conversation in the car, Tang Chu said with emotion:

"It's really... let us do something."

The "rebels" who were willing to stay and deal with the remnants of the empire were temporarily in the cabinet building. When Tang Chu and Lian Ting entered the building, a group of people were organizing a welcome party for them.Feeling flattered, Tang Chu took out the space button from Lian Ting's pocket, took out the huge fruits inside, and handed out special products one by one:

"Try it for you, it's delicious from the original planet."

Irus smiled and said, "We also have something for you."

Tang Chu asked curiously, "What?"

Tang Wanli stepped forward, tapped his finger on the conference table, and countless virtual screens popped up at once, "All the business that you guys owed these days after going out for a trip is reserved. Hurry up and deal with it. work for you."

Tang Chu's fingers trembled, "...you... you guys are really good."

And Lian Ting had already discussed with Gu Shaohai, he said:

"Tang Chu and I think that a law should be added, on the peaceful coexistence of humans and alien creatures. The specific content will be collected from the public for suggestions and votes through the channel you are in charge of."

Tang Chu interjected: "Not only should, but must. Human beings must have an explanation for the original creatures in the planets in the Echoing Light Star Field, and for those alien creatures that survived 3000 years of human slaughter. They are the Master, human beings are just foreign invaders."

He used the word "aggressor," and he really meant it.

Although humans have higher intelligence, more advanced technology, and a more complete civilization than other creatures, this does not mean that humans have the right to arbitrarily dominate the lives of other creatures and stand at the top.

They don't want royalty and nobles standing at the top of the pyramid and controlling everyone else's life.

So is it also inappropriate for humans to stand at the top and control other creatures?

——The "co-governance" and "republic" they want are just a one-man show of human blood?

What needs to be established is not only the republic system, but also humanism, which people in this empire have not been exposed to before.

... Who is not conceived and bred by nature?

All lives are equal, and human life is no more noble than other lives.

Gu Shaohai solemnly wrote down on the pages of the law the structure of the provisions on the relationship between alien creatures and human beings.

Tang Tao, who was not in this room, suddenly sent Tang Chu a message:

"You're back?"

Tang Chu clicked on the video call, and Tang Tao's face was a little more tired and determined than before he left.

"Yeah, what?"

"The mastermind wants to see you," Tang Tao said.

Tang Chu frowned: "The mastermind?...Who is it?"

Tang Tao's expression was serious, "The central mastermind of the empire, the center of the empire's network, the repository of all the information of the empire and the first intelligence."

At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, he took a suspension car to the palace area, and after getting off the car, he saw Shi Tiancheng waiting there.

Tang Chu was uncertain: "Why are you here? Wait for me?"

Shi Tiancheng nodded silently.

Tang Chu felt that Shi Tiancheng was a little strange.

He and Shi Tiancheng have been together for a long time, and they can chat a few words at ordinary times, unlike when the other party was too lazy to communicate with him when they first met.But now Shi Tiancheng's attitude towards him is very cold, as if he is not very familiar with him.

Regardless of whether the other party answered or not, he continued, "Did you know that the mastermind wanted to see me?"

Shi Tiancheng raised his eyes coldly, then nodded in recognition.

Tang Chu smiled inexplicably, and his spiritual power diffused out without being noticed by anyone.

Everyone has spiritual power, but in fact, everyone's spiritual power is different.

Everyone's spiritual power has its own unique ripples, relying on it, Tang Chu can identify everyone in his own spiritual sea; any abnormality or instability of a person's spirit will also be manifested in the spiritual power ripples.

He wanted to see if Shi Tiancheng had any mental problems, could it be that he lost his memory?Or... this Shi Tiancheng is not Shi Tiancheng at all, but someone else pretending to be?

But soon, Tang Chu frowned, and looked straight at Shi Tiancheng who was standing not far away.

He didn't find spiritual power in him!

If a person's brain is still active, there will inevitably be fluctuations in mental power. Even vegetative people will also have slow and long ripples of mental power.Only dead people don't have any mental power fluctuations.

However... the person standing in front of him is a dead person?Is it possible?There are no zombies in this world.

Tang Chu's expression was not obvious, but he secretly became vigilant.

I don't know what happened to Shi Tiancheng.

Neither of the two spoke, and they came to the center of the palace together, the center of the empire, which was closely guarded by a group of soldiers from the Qilin Legion and invisible virtual intelligences.

— where the central mastermind is located.

A huge egg-shaped building glowing with metallic luster, with a piece of metal suspended from the top.The two of them walked to the door of the egg-shaped building, and the door opened as if by induction.

The two walked in, and the door closed behind them.

The environment inside is not dark.

The wall itself acts as a lighting lamp, shining brightly; a phantom emitting white light floats in the center, and the main console is below the phantom.

Xuying is the image of a kind middle-aged woman, her voice is a bit ethereal, but very penetrating:

"Tang Chu, you are here."

Tang Chu approached, "Hello."

Xu Ying smiled kindly: "Hello, child."

Tang Chu asked, "Why did you ask me here?"

He is now fully alert.

One is the strange Shi Tiancheng behind him, and the other is the mastermind of the empire represented by the avatar in front of him.

In the modern technological society, the power of the Internet is so powerful that it is unimaginable.

Entertainment, transportation, communication, travel, and daily applications all have the participation of the Internet.

The Internet is everywhere.

All citizens of the empire have identity chips and personal terminals. Everyone travels through the terminal, buys items through the terminal, and logs in to the website to obtain identity information.

And these are all mastered by the first intelligence, the mastermind of the empire, and constitute a part of it.As long as it wants, or the person who controls it wants to, it can mess up the entire empire at any time.

It can know where and what anyone is doing at any time, controls everyone's property, and monitors everyone's movements.

Fortunately, since these information streams converge into a complete intelligence, this first intelligence cannot be controlled by anyone, and can only be used conditionally.Otherwise, the veneer of democratic freedom of the nobility and royalty would not have been ripped off until recently.

And it just doesn't want to, as long as it wants, it can even do anything.

Tang Chu stood in front of it, even though it was only a virtual translucent image, he still felt the pressure and threat.

The virtual image comforted me gently: "Don't be nervous, I've heard about you a long time ago, and I asked you to come here this time, so I asked you to be my representative."

Tang Chu didn't really believe it: "You are so powerful, you can still ask humans for help? And why am I the representative?"

The image said: "I am not omnipotent. I was created by human beings. Human beings naturally have abilities that I cannot achieve. As for finding you... maybe because you are the only one who has the most leisure?"

Tang Chu: "..."

Without waiting for his answer, Xu Ying laughed and said, "Just kidding. Don't be so nervous, I won't hurt you."

Two short robots came over, walked to Tang Chu's side and began to transform into two chairs.Tang Chu and Shi Tiancheng sat down on the chairs.

After Tang Chu sat down, he began to relax. The mastermind is almost omnipotent. If it really wants to have any evil thoughts against him, it doesn’t need to call him over. As long as it controls the weapons in the Armament Department to attack him, he can do it again. No matter how powerful it is, I am afraid that it will not be able to avoid the extremely large number of artillery fire.

Maybe this mastermind really has something to do?

Forgive Tang Chu for being so vigilant, it is really because he can't think of what he can do, and what is the reason why he came here instead of others.

Xu Ying, on the other hand, talked to Tang Chu about what had happened outside these days, like a chat between humans.

"...I never thought that the empire could still look like this. To be honest, my birth—the data flow of tens of billions of citizens is my original composition—almost doomed the empire to be a minority Owned empire. The people below can only blindly follow the decisions above, be deceived by the people above, and be ruled ignorantly. How can the whole people participate in the governance of such an empire in the first place. "

Tang Chu said: "There are still many things you don't know. You don't know that the country we want to live in is not the previous 'empire', you don't know that we don't need an imperial system but a co-government, you don't know that it is not by What does a fixed class look like in a country where everyone participates in governance together...Actually, let alone you, even I have never seen it. We can only try together first."

Xu Ying said: "So, you have the beginning."

Tang Chu raised his eyebrows, and asked Xu Ying to continue talking, and he acted as the listener.

Xu Ying said: "What I said, I am looking forward to your start. I know what you are missing now. The foundation of the 3000-year empire is too large and complicated. Few of you are dedicated politicians, and you can't do it. It's hard for anyone to deal with problems from the macroscopic perspective of the entire empire. In the previous empire, various affairs were assigned to noble families with different surnames..."

Tang Chu heard what Xuying said was about the management of the empire, which he didn't understand very well, and quickly took out a notebook and a pen from the space button. Hearing Xuying's voice pause, he even urged her with his eyes.
