The Dragon That Devours the World

There is nothing new under the sun.

As the ancient country often said, "the most prosperous must decline", no one can escape this law.

Britain has ruled the world for two hundred years, and the United States has ruled the world for one hundred and fifty years. The glory of the ancient country will eventually fade. After standing on the top of the world for one hundred years, this long-standing country has also faced challenges.

But just as in that millennium, no one would have expected the rise of the ancient kingdom, and the United Kingdom would not have thought of the threat of hegemony coming from the Americas at its peak. This time the challenger is not from the earth, but from space.

The colonists on Mars declared their independence to the people on Earth.

"The Mars Dome unanimous declaration... We believe that people are free, and how can free people be oppressed and enslaved by others."

"We were born in Sri Lanka, grew up in Sri Lanka, and died in Sri Lanka... We are not Americans, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Africans, East Asians, or even inhabitants of any regional country on Earth. We are the sons of Mars, we Live on this unoppressed planet, unite and move forward..."

"We were born on this united planet. We love each other. People see other people's children as their own children, and other people's parents as their own parents... The divided earth is not our home, but humans oppress and humiliate each other. Prison..."

Different from the crowded and exploding Earth, on Mars, which is difficult to survive, people often live in the dome of less than a school. In order to survive, they have to use all resources as much as possible. Everyone’s demand ration is strictly controlled. It’s not allowed to take more.

In this cramped environment that is ridiculed by the earth as a "prison", the Martian people are very optimistic.

The world they live in requires them to be united. Each dome is a big family. There is no rich or poor, no color difference, no gender discrimination. Everyone is useful, and no one will be regarded as superfluous. Bullying that shouldn't have been.

In this environment, people's desire for a world without oppression has reached an unprecedented high.

Thus, with only 1,477 domes and a population of 170,000, this small world proudly issued a declaration of independence to the old world with a population of more than 70 billion.

With the help of the isolation of the vast space and the use of the splitting situation of the earth, this small world has withstood the impact of the earth several times, grew up in a difficult situation, and finally opened the most beautiful on the cold Mars. Flowers.

A country of Mars actively exploring space was born.

The situation was reversed in 2263, when the Mars Fleet defeated the Earth Fleet and established a Martian spaceport on the Earth's moon, the moon.

The sharp sword from the moon hangs above human beings, threatening the safety of the earth at all times, but the ultimate solution to this problem is not the war between earth and fire, but the out-of-control war of a...

The first a out-of-control war, the second a out-of-control war, the second ground-fire war, the third a out-of-control war...

In the war, mankind moved forward with difficulty, and finally...

...

"We made a lot of mistakes."

On the grand square, countless holographic images, carefully designed sound and light make it look like a dream world. Countless people gather here, and there are listening people everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

And at the very center, guarded by thousands of people, a seventeen-year-old young girl stood in the center.

The tiny hairs on her cheeks that have not faded prove her immature, bright eyes, and slim figure. If she were to be seen in the old days, she might be considered a star idol, but she is the head of the entire human coalition government.

This is a scene that could never be seen in the old age. A seventeen-year-old young girl is the leader of a huge government, but it is not impossible in this age, because she is smart enough, she is calm, rational, and talented. Far above everyone.

In this era, identity is no longer limited by age, gender and many other factors. As far as possible, let all talented people play their own value, which is what an efficient government should do.

The young girl raised her head and declared to the whole world in a clear voice.

"We were once deceived by countless slogans and inspired by countless religious gods. We killed each other, inserted human-made swords into human flesh and blood; vented ammunition in each other's bodies; we tried our best The brain has created countless weapons, but it is to kill those compatriots who came from the same source millions of years ago and our close relatives faster and better."

"What are we doing?!"

The girl said loudly.

"One hundred years ago, the Wang Le Yizhou of Mars once said:'Give me enough bread, I will take a lot, and not much.' If we say that fighting is to survive, we have enough food. What we need, the most greedy snake is only satisfied with one meal; the best cat to kill is nothing more than training survival skills; but our compatriots, why did we kill each other? To oppress our relatives with the color of rich and poor men and women?"

"Humans like to reject people who are different from us, but this is derived from the most primitive animal nature. Only ignorant animals rely on instinct to act and are driven by instinct!"

"What is an ape to humans? A ridiculous family, a shame. Why is it different to superhumans? We have gone through the long journey from insects to humans, but in many respects, we are still insects. We used to be apes, but now, humans are more like apes than apes."

"Humans who say that they are smart and wiser, and wiser than any other species, can it be that after millions of years of difficult evolution, we are no different from ignorant beasts?"

In front of the girl, tens of millions of people gathered here made a buzzing sound of discussion.

The girl raised her bright and white lower forehead slightly, and said loudly again.

"Some people told me. Today’s war is of course for longer-term peace. Only a country, a regime, a race, a culture, a history, a voice, and a thought can achieve true peace. If we and The stability of any border between other countries is not called peace, it is called truce."

"But my reason tells me that even if the entire universe is unified, there is only one nation, one culture, one thought, and one leader in the entire universe. Civil wars will be more cruel than foreign wars. Endless wars and in this war to destroy each other The bombing will also exist, even more frequently."

"Someone comforts me like this: If civil war can resolve relatively large contradictions, then civil war should break out. If killings can deal with the problem more efficiently and in the long term, we must not be stingy with ammunition. The course of history is unstoppable, and progress in any form is Necessary and inevitable. Whether the universe has gone through 10,000 years of separatist wars or 1,000 years of oligarchy rule, it will eventually become stable. Of course, stability will inevitably lead to turmoil and spiral upward.

"But so, what is the meaning of everything we are doing now? What is the meaning of our existence in this universe? What is the meaning of such endless wars? Such a spiral will only bring us infinite pain and the last Destroy it."

In countless eyes, the young girl declared loudly to this world, to the earth, to Mars, to the moon, to asteroids and even all the human beings among the stars.

"I believe that people should be rational and free, and they should not be slaves to others, nor should they be slaves to other people's thoughts."

"Our unity is not just to unite for unity, but to make everyone worthwhile. Every life is so precious, and every unique will is so precious."

"We are human beings, self-proclaimed noble and rational human beings. How can the wisdom we are proud of be born for casting swords?"

"From this, a great nation will be born. Whether it is the earthlings, the Martians, the moons, the asteroids, or even all the human beings in the vast void, they will embrace together and lay down the sword for us and no longer each other. Fight and cheer."

"Let us celebrate, celebrate the peace that has come for the first time since ancient times..."

...

A few years later, in 2457, the first trans-galactic colonial spacecraft built by the coalition government of mankind was born. It is estimated that one hundred colonists and one hundred thousand human fertilized eggs will travel to the planet of Ross 128b 11 light-years away at the speed of 7 light.

According to the judgment of astronomers, it is very suitable for human habitation. These colonists will sleep in the freezer and be guided by a to fly to the predetermined planet to provide assistance for human space exploration.

"Jane, I have read some ancient science fiction novels. Do you know how they are written?"

Near the spaceport, watching the enormously huge ship, a man asked beside the girl that the girl at this moment no longer holds the post of head, but has gone to the field of scientific research that she is more passionate about.

"How did the ancients write it?"

The girl turned to look at him, curiously.

"In the eyes of the ancients, we should only go to other galaxies after we have the means of sublight or even superluminal travel, but they seem to underestimate our boldness."

As he said, the man laughed.

"They seem to have forgotten that in the age of the planet, a man named Columbus dared to cross the deep sea in a nearly wooden boat. We did not have the sub-light-speed spacecraft and super-light-speed means they had imagined, but the problems that bothered space exploration It’s never technological ability, but determination and conviction."

"Think about it. In that era, with that crude fuel rocket, humans dared to land on the moon, but in the next 100 years, humans never landed on the moon again. Why? Is it because of technology? Insufficient? Is it insufficient funds? The fundamental reason is that they no longer look into space and are obsessed with dividing and fighting internally, losing that motivation and belief."

As he said, he looked at the colonial spacecraft he designed and muttered.

"In that era, the money burned by any real estate speculation or financial speculation was enough to land on the moon ten times, but at that time humans would rather be keen on these zero-sum games... If it weren't for threats and persecution, I would be afraid of space. The exploration is still in the planet until now, and the current Mars is still barren."

"Threat? What threat."

The girl was keenly aware of the loopholes in the man's words, and couldn't help asking.

The man was visibly stunned, and then he laughed.

"No...nothing."

At this moment, the spacecraft was about to start, breaking up this little episode.

"..."

There is no sound in space~www.readwn.com~ The spacecraft relying on gravitational acceleration does not even have the flame effect, but when the figure larger than the mountain left, it still shocked all the onlookers.

Human beings have rotated in the earth for millions of years, and in the solar system for another five hundred years, and now, the first colonial spacecraft that bravely explored outer galaxies was finally born. Any human being who saw this scene felt it. An inexplicable sense of fate.

"Cheers for the mighty power of mankind, the destiny of mankind is already revealed..."

Suddenly, a strenuous voice sounded.

The girl couldn't help but looked to her side, and saw the man staring at the spaceship with a strange color in his pupils, which was a mixture of self-confidence and determination.

...

Within the Crystal Days, there were no monsters with a thousand heads on the chessboard. Instead, a human-shaped figure could be seen vaguely. With curiosity and confidence in its eyes, it stretched out its hand, as if it wanted to break away from the chessboard that restrained itself and catch the stars beyond that day.
