People's Federation will live forever

Due to the space broadcast platform set up in the council area, almost all the content of this meeting was conveyed to every region through the radio and television familiar to the earth people and even the emerging network.The council attaches great importance to this political feast that belongs to the whole planet, so it has poured a huge amount of power into it. Even in areas on the edge of civilization like South America, where electricity is not popularized, let alone electronic equipment, the council is willing to send a fleet of airships similar to Sira Hanging a giant screen to broadcast the reorganization of the parliament is not for other reasons, but to eliminate the earth's resistance to the People's Federation as much as possible, and to show the control ability of the council.

Although it seems a bit excessive, these South American farmers who never knew that the earth is a sphere and have never left the countryside all their lives, and North African tribesmen are now pointing to the round space city shown in the sky and discussing what they saw. Everything, their thoughts and spirits have been impacted beyond their own civilization level.Let's not talk about whether this is a good thing, but these people who have never dealt with decent government figures in the past suddenly discovered that the rulers who appeared in front of them this time have mastered methods they have never heard of, and their control The tentacles go deep into the individual, and the surface is soft, but the root is unambiguous and decisive.For example, the People's Federation helped farmers hang the bandits and unkind creditors who once flooded these lands, but in exchange for wealth distribution, they disrupted the familiar rural life of farmers, which made these people who had never entered modern society Started to panic.

And it is this kind of control that allows the decrees from the council to penetrate into all levels of society.The People's Federation does not hide at all that its purpose is to completely disrupt the structure of the old earth. We have poured a lot of resources into the new area of ​​the equator, coupled with the support of laws and regulations to accelerate people from all over the world to leave their homeland for economic interests and personal development, and concentrate large groups near the equator. part of the population.

The new area has advanced technology, first-class, abundant social resources for distribution, broad room for improvement, and everything an individual needs—this is the antidote offered by the People's Federation to neutralize the barriers between groups, we It does not want to and cannot directly erase regional differences.Only through fast-paced modern life can we quickly change the living habits of the old age, new education can change customs, modern medicine can optimize genes and promote the benign integration of races, and finally achieve the overall improvement of the earth's civilization level!

According to this plan, in about 20 years, the earth can rise to the height of interstellar civilization at the same level as Sira, because the People's Federation does not fully place its hope on the contemporary earth people, we can transform 20.00% of the contemporary young adults The available talents can be thankful, the real hope is the next generation of the earth, the baby boomers who are now at peace in the world, the post-war recovery is on the right track, and people's minds are set.

They will grow up in the optimal environment created by the People's Federation, and they will be stronger physically and mentally than their parents at any level, and will become the backbone of the People's Federation society in the future.For this reason, the People's Federation abandoned the consideration of transferring resources from the earth, but invested everything at hand to build a unified education, unified medical care, and genetic optimization together with vaccines in the new area, and shoulder the burden of war alone ——

As long as it can survive 20 years and the growth of a generation.

"What is the status of the citizens of Thera who have migrated to Earth?"

"The 240 million Sira residents who have migrated have begun to gradually move to the new moon city, most of them are the elderly and children. The facilities we have built on the moon are sufficient to ensure their lives."

"No." Michael shook his head, "I'm asking about the spirit."

"It's hard to say, although 80.00% of the people said they are satisfied with life on Earth, the separation between them and the people on Earth will only worsen with time, and people miss Scylla more and more, especially after knowing the victory of the war. There are a lot of petitions."

"Pray for what?"

"Participating in the war, they want to join the army, there are people of all ages. You know that the quality of our Syrah people is shaped in the way that all the people are soldiers. Everyone can easily pass the recruitment needs of the fleet, and the population of the right age , we can at least draw 10 young and middle-aged men to supplement the fleet without affecting production. Even if 80.00% are in logistics, you also know how low the number of people we have for a warship today, plus volunteers from the earth, This would at least increase the size of our fleet tenfold."

As he said that, the voice became a little urgent: "Mr. Speaker, this will definitely allow us to win this war. We can't really wait 20 years!"

Speaker Michal didn't make a sound, and sighed after a long time: "I can't control the army, but I will raise it to the leader and Commander Olivia at the High Council."

Mr. Speaker turned off the communication, and the small room was plunged into darkness, and he also got a moment of tranquility for thinking.

In the beginning, the High Council didn’t want the minority group of Scyllas to have too many political advantages, and didn’t want to use millions of Scyllas to rule billions of people on Earth, but now the Scyllas have an overwhelming majority in the military system. part of the advantage, will this become a new problem in the future?

And it seems that the Scylla people have finally returned to their most suitable position. We will never get rid of the war. The pendulum has never stopped, has it?

PS: The setting that can be repeated now——Legion Dusk is an instant warship built for all-out war. With the assistance of AI, the minimum number of people required is less than 20. It is positioned as equipment like T34, and AI Make up for the uneven level of personnel.

Chapter [90] Awakened Life

Time is passing silently, even if some people keep saying that we can't wait for 20 years, time still slips through our fingers.The pointer does not stop for a minute and a second. It seems slow to be ignored on the surface, but it is as fast as an instant, like a dream in Nankeyi.

The convening of the Earth Council at the end of 13 and the beginning of 14 of the People's Federation seems to be in the last chapter, as if it was still stopped yesterday, and the work of the Industry and Research Department seems to have just begun, or a little earlier, we are still working for Defending Sira and carrying out a bitter battle with the consciousness of sacrifice——for most people, Renlian has experienced too many things in 13 years, and the new year may mean a new beginning and give people new expectations. !Many people are reluctant to recall the past year, and we also know that some people have stayed in that year forever and can no longer walk side by side with us.

What a nightmare, a dream that lasted long enough but I couldn't wake up from it...

That battle doesn't seem to be over yet.

"Commander, forcibly firing under unsafe conditions not only violates the battleship's operating regulations, but also exceeds the upper limit of the battleship's thermal energy storage, leading to unavoidable consequences. Forcibly firing while the main gun is cooling down will cause waste heat to be released into the hull, so this This action will inevitably lead to the complete scrapping of the warship."

Even in a dream, the voice of interferon is still so stiff and annoying.This AI is not likable, but Janot also knows that this thing was not born for people to like. If he wants to achieve his goal, he must rely on Interferon's absolute control over the ship.

The hull trembled a few times, and several more ion cannons bombarded his own ship. The shields were exhausted, and the only thing the dusk-class armor plate could do was to prevent these terrible shells from entering the hull. deep.Janot didn't forget that he was still in the center of the heated battlefield, and he had his own judgment.

"I know, but the defense fleet is right in front of the enemy ships blocking their route. If we block it, the strike fleet chasing the enemy from behind will be able to catch them all!" Jenot stretched out his hand, "We It is the bottom of the pocket tactics, the iron felt against the enemy, we finally gained such an advantage and we cannot waste it like this.”

Can't be wasted... The Sira Guard Fleet has reduced the enemy's combat power with a full salvo, but it also puts its own side at the weakest stage of main gun cooldown.The heavy artillery of the enemy's giant ship, once there is room for maneuver to get rid of the rear-end collision and only the ion cannon is available, none of the five Renlian's thin-skinned Twilight-class ships will be an opponent of the enemy's battleship, so this battle will be lost——

"AI, your computing power is a billion times stronger than mine. I don't need to explain it. What I want is for you to execute it. This is an order."

As expected, the AI ​​will only make suggestions but will absolutely strictly abide by the commander's orders, so Interferon did this without any hesitation and with due diligence: "This unit has received the order, and the particle collider is undergoing a second pre-preparation process." In heat, the Hammer of Dawn enters launch preparations."

Then, Interferon immediately added another sentence: "According to the core agreement, this unit has the responsibility to ensure the safety of personnel on warships and above, and also has the obligation to fully obey orders if the 'commander' has not treason. In the case of treason, this unit is required to ignore the core agreement..."

Gernot was stunned for a moment, and a bad premonition came to his mind: "Damn, is your robot law in conflict? Are you going to lose control?"

"The commander misunderstood. This unit is not a low-level VI of the programming language structure. The agreement is only a constraint, and the conflict does not affect my own judgment." Interferon still read without emotion, "I must remind the commander of the responsibility. There is no physical formatting of subprograms in this unit, but the crew members in the ship have independent lives. Your order is about to be executed, and there is still a little time, do you want me to turn on the fleet radio to explain to your crew members in person?"

The Ares fleet is speeding up desperately, and countless shiny high-speed ion cannons are passing through the small gap between the two fleets every minute and every second. Measured in seconds.During this time period, there is no chance to even launch the escape pod, and the personnel are all at their posts. As Interferon said, once the combat plan is launched, the more than [-] warships in front of the enemy will lose their last chance to turn and evade.

The outcome of a game of the brave always depends on who dodges first, or, both die?

Erich, the commander of the Land Guard Fleet, is not a coward, and neither is Gernot, and—"There are no cowards among the soldiers of the fleet."

The fleet radio was turned on, and the face of Lieutenant General Jenot appeared in front of all the crew members on the ship. The young general seemed to be looking far ahead, with no joy, anger or sadness on his face, and with this sentence, the Lieutenant General seemed to let go. Yes, said with a smile.

"The plan has been issued, all units act according to the plan, and victory will definitely belong to us. We must believe in this result, because today is a good day to die..."

The smile remained the same, but tears welled up involuntarily.There was no gravity in the bloody bridge, and the general was still smiling as the tears fell from his eyes and floated in the air.

"Everyone, die here with me!"

"Be with me..."

"Die here!"

The cry from the soul came from the depths of the subconscious, like a thunderclap exploding in the ears.The dream changed in the next second, and Janot suddenly found himself in a dark space, like an isolated island without the slightest light in the sea.

When he tried to reach out and found that he had no hand at all, he tried to make a sound, but nothing happened except a flicker of thought.

No, he can feel his own existence, but he can't think about it concretely. He instinctively feels that he is still alive, but there is no proof - this cognition comes from his own feeling, which does not come from the five senses. Rather, it comes from a kind of conscious cognition, which is cognitive cognition.

What a wonderful feeling, but I can't describe it in words... Is this the world after death?

But in the blink of an eye, Jenot suddenly had a feeling that he was being stared at, and he suddenly wanted to turn back, but this space has no body and no orientation, and there is only surging darkness, and a kind of movement from under his feet. ?Is it just the rising force, this force carries itself upwards?Moving, after all, there is no direction here, it may be that he is always spinning in place without knowing it.

"A psychic who has mastered the skills can feel the colors in the field of vision, but for ordinary people, it is impossible to distinguish, so it is dark."

A familiar voice... or a concept was introduced into Jenott's mind, it seems that the communication in this place is like this, and the voice continued:

"Maybe I should tell Ensig that the existence of the soul has been found, and there is indeed a place to accommodate the spirit... But what should I use to confirm the inference, quantum fluctuations? Hehe"

"You're lucky, Janot."

When the light came on, a pair of eyes soaked in the artificial solution opened suddenly, and the eyeballs regained their luster and reflected the world—shadowless lamps, white walls and floors, a round glass container standing in the center, and the walls full of displays Electronic screens of data, these together form the appearance of an advanced laboratory.

There is also a hooded man in a black windbreaker standing outside the glass container and looking at him with a pair of cold robotic eyes. I have seen this face in my memory, but it is by no means the person I am now, but the blue-eyed capital of Sira. A statue erected in the square, as well as the audio circulated on the Internet, there are very few news and very few positive ends.

Strictly speaking, few people in the People's Federation have seen the true face of this man in reality, because this man is not human at all, and appearance does not matter.The last time he showed his full face was the attack on the Sydney Opera House and the dispute when the whole world declared war on the People's Federation. Many people began to forget it in a blink of an eye.

But right now, the man tapped the glass twice with the back of his finger.

"You're lucky, Janot, very lucky."

Chapter [91] Shining Star Project

"You are very lucky. The Twilight-class bridge has activated all the life support systems. The transpiration of the heat dissipation gel and organic solution has taken away the deadly temperature, and the bridge has been blocked from continuing to heat up after it has escaped from the hull."

Li Li snapped his fingers, took a step back and looked at the red-skinned man in front of him. Of course, it wasn't any mutation in Janot, but the freshly grown skin was already blood-red.Who still remembers the original appearance of the lieutenant general?It doesn't matter, because in that battle, I was almost boiled alive by the boiling solution. According to the description of the search and rescue personnel after the war, the muscles of the lieutenant general's body were almost mixed with the gel and had to be cut directly. The scene was terrifying enough Use it for anti-war propaganda.

But he is still alive, life is always so tenacious, perhaps with a little technology assistance, because the spacesuit helmet on the lieutenant general's body and the reinforced defense on his chest resisted the boiling and provided oxygen to the brain afterwards, at least Let the search and rescue personnel recover the brain, and in terms of bioelectronic technology of the People's Federation, saving the brain is saving half of the life.

"Your left brain is removed from hypoxia plus concussion damage, but it's okay, your right brain still works. The hippocampus is slightly damaged, but the neural burn recovers a bit, and you don't forget who you are You won’t lose the skills you’ve mastered in your life, but I’ve decided on my own that I don’t have body gel, but instead implant a photonic computer in your vacant left brain, otherwise it would be too sloppy, wouldn’t it?”

Li Wei was joking. The man who just woke up in front of him is obviously not fully awake yet, but it doesn't prevent him from looking at his body with a look of shock on his face. On the face, the shaved scalp is showing pale golden hair. The ancestral platinum hair of the Hunter family has not left its owner. Renlian Medicine has saved this hero from the fate of hair loss. Like save him from being a brain in a vat.

The solution in the tank was slowly pumped away, and a hanger with protective clothing was lifted from the floor.When the glass container was opened, the lieutenant general staggered a few steps before barely standing still, but felt a pain like a needle prick in his muscles.

"Your muscles are artificial, but that's not right. That's your tissue. It's made of a thousand probes using bio-ink grown from your stem cells. In order to restore your body, the Ministry of Industry and Research took out a sealed Fortunately, I have done experiments on purely bioprinted bodies in the past... Hehe, it’s all dark history.”

Li Wei restrained his expression, and said solemnly: "Strictly speaking, your body is exposed to air for the first time, and your nerves are still very sensitive. A dose of pneumatic spray will be much better."

"Leader? My head, I..."

"Slow down, your mouth is also printed later, get used to it first, don't rush to speak."

The antibacterial protective clothing automatically tightened to the body after putting it on, and the lieutenant general had to wear a mask before Li Wei allowed him to leave the laboratory.Following each other step by step, they staggered and followed Li Wei through a not-so-long corridor, and they came to a wide platform, a platform made of glass facing the sea of ​​stars.There are some people who are also wearing protective clothing moving around here. Their clothes are all in the style of the Ministry of Industry and Research. They seem to ignore the existence of the two and just go about their own business.

"Actually, you should be able to control your body by now."

Turning his back to Janot who was walking unsteadily, Li Li suddenly interjected, Janot was taken aback for a moment, and then found that he could walk normally.

The whole journey was silent, until the two of them sat down, Janot finally couldn't help but speak, but Li Li raised a finger to stop him.

"I know you have a lot of questions, but you don't need me to tell you directly. I have already stored all the information in your photon sub-brain. You can concentrate and think about it to see if you can remember it."

Jenot was taken aback for a moment, as if when he really thought about it, the pupils of his eyes lighted up slightly, which was the expression of the information projected by the artificial retina of the fundus.Jenot had experience in using brain plug-ins in the past, and the so-called photon sub-brain is just a bigger plug-in, so after quickly flashing back a large amount of data, the lieutenant general first let out a hush, and then couldn't believe it looked up.

"Time, has passed..."

"It's been a while since the end of the Battle of Sira, and you've woken up now. Congratulations, General Janot. You've been asleep for a whole year and three months." Li Ting waved his hand, asking Janot as if he was in an exam. "If your thinking and logic have not been damaged due to surgery, can you tell me what happened to the People's Federation this year?"

What happened... First they won the battle, surrounded and wiped out the enemy army with almost irrational sacrifices, and the largest invasion of the Janissaries failed...

Li Bing tapped the table with his fingers, and a cup of steaming tea appeared on the table. Li Bing drank it down in one gulp and said, "We all know this, next one."

Janot was urged by Li Zhi to continue speaking, just like a student facing a teacher, he could only bite the bullet and think while talking. He stuttered a little at first, but later his speech and behavior became more and more lively.There is no problem with the rotation of thinking, and it is still as flexible as the old days.

In short, it’s been 15 years since the People’s Federation, and even though it feels like it’s just a nap, the time has flown to a year later—at the beginning of the 14th year of the People’s Federation, the earth was merged into the Council of Power, and a personnel reorganization was carried out. After the great expansion, from the administrative level, the People's Federation has brought under the control of the entire earth except the sub-Saharan region, and directly manages about 20 billion people.

Politically, the People's Federation promulgated related laws ranging from status laws to Caesar's edicts to promote the overall progress of earth civilization.The new decree completely abolishes any level of identity restrictions in the old era, completely abolishes the feudal hierarchy and similar caste systems, requires that all royal and noble titles in the world are no longer allowed to be continued and confiscated royal property for public use.

The decree known as "Caesar's Edict" is quite special. It is aimed at the current chaotic belief issues on the earth. Its name comes from the famous sentence "Caesar's to Caesar". Expect pure faith and morality.Don't think about the filth of the world, and think wholeheartedly to pursue the best truth, which is undoubtedly the best thing.

The prerequisites for these decrees to be effectively implemented are the investment of resources and unquestionable authority, but there will definitely be those who have been damaged to revenge against the new order in desperation.Therefore, the Council began to strengthen the law enforcement agencies. The Legal Department of the People's Federation was subdivided into the Legal Department and the Power Department.

The People's Federation's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security not only covers traditional policing but is also a militarized force.On the one hand, it is because the beta war is ending, and the people on earth must yearn for a normal order. In addition, the size of the current galaxy guard army is too large and needs to be sorted out. Should the teacher flatten a rainforest and destroy a city?The army cannot rely too much on its downline. With the cooperation between the high command and the council, a group of elite front-line troops in the guard army were converted into armored mobile teams on the spot, retaining efficient combat literacy and strengthening the professional quality of asymmetric combat. However, they no longer have heavy military arms, and the dispatching power has been transferred to the power department of the People's Federation. The congressmen also have an armed force that can ensure their stability, which is gratifying.

"In May 14, the People's Federation of Armored Mobile Team conducted its first operation. The target of the operation was an illegal armed group located in Texas, North America. After 6 hours and a total of 5 people were injured, the number of people Close to four hundred of the old National Guard disarmed...that's interesting, but why put it in my head?"

Janot said blankly, but he had to go on.One by one, the big events of last year were continuously broadcast, and gradually Janot began to notice some of the arrangements in these contents, such as the large number of Sira residents voluntarily joining the army and directly choosing the fleet, and the largest baby boom in history. In the second half of last year, it broke out intensively. The marriage between Sira and the earth residents was approved from the legal level. Various people's livelihood enterprises sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Combining the culture of the earth and Sira's technological dividends created a growth potential. Society, it seems all is well.

"The times are always advancing, and the development of the earth is more than expected. Has the People's Federation's strength grown so much in just one year?"

Gernot couldn't help laughing, but there was always something...something was suppressed in his heart, and something was diverted by the leader in front of him to distract him from thinking...what is it?

By the way, what about Sira?

"And my fleet, war!"

"I didn't see anything related to the war in these messages! Leader, what's going on, how is our war with the United Earth going, where are my subordinates? I'm still alive, they... .”

Janot stood up abruptly, pacing left and right like a child trying to find something, but he couldn't find anything here, and no one from the Industrial and Research Department who was operating here paid any attention to him, even one person It suddenly broke into Janot's body, and it turned out to be just a phantom.

"Calm down, General."

Li Ming drank another cup of tea, and then Janot suddenly realized that the leader who appeared in front of him was just a prosthetic body, how could the machine drink tea.

And the surrounding scenery changed again, and it was actually directly displayed in a starry sky full of wreckage, and the two stood in a vacuum standing on top of Scylla in a daze.Gernot looked around and recognized what it was.

"It's not a dream, but it's not reality either?"

"You guessed some, but not all, this is reality, it's just a cover-up."

Li Wei clapped his hands, and the surrounding scene began to flow. A series of numbers appeared in the scene, and a series of names appeared along with the numbers.There are a total of seven hundred of these nameplate-like things lined up in the air, many of which Janot does not recognize, and many of them are veterans who served under his command during the Battle of the Storm.

These veterans, the first batch of fleet veterans of the People's Federation are almost completely withered. They died in battle and were recorded as heroic epics - Jenot faced these long or short names, and in an instant this soldier was a little bit Sit back in the chair with exhaustion.

"I let them die with me...and I live? Why me?"

"You can ask about fate, but if you ask me, you won't get an answer." Li Li said, "The objective fact is that you survived, you are still alive in this heavy world, and you will continue to carry even heavier burdens." Responsibility."

After finishing his speech, Li Wei shook his head: "Of course you can continue to hide in the corner of your subconscious mind, Janot, you can choose yourself."

"I should be a dead man. I am not qualified to take on these responsibilities. I am not brave enough as a soldier, and I am not strong enough as a commander in chief."

"You still feel that the fleet's last stand, their death is your responsibility? Shouldn't it be the United Earth, this war?"

"I understand this truth, but it doesn't convince me, I can't deny that I have no better way to cause their death, I can only stand by my own example - so I say I want to die with them, but I But live alone."

The space is dimming, it seems that everything around is rapidly receding into darkness.This darkness is so familiar, it turns out that this is not a dream, this is reality, this time, even Li Li's voice can't wake up this lonely existence.

"Jenot is very arrogant, easy to get into the wrong place, but he is not hopeless, at least this kid is kind-hearted, but he always likes to take responsibility for himself-he is just a mortal, so arrogant that he thinks he can bear the responsibility start everything?"

Out of the vision of anima, Li Li, who really existed in reality, looked at the dormant Gernot in the glass jar in front of him and said angrily and funnyly, beside him was the frowning Olivia: "This How many times this year? 142 times, still unable to wake him up."

"No way, Olivia. Strictly speaking, we have reached the point that we couldn't believe in the past. Jenot is now a vegetable, and brain science can't help us. You must know that awakening a vegetable has always been considered a medical miracle. "Li Li smiled, not feeling discouraged, "Look, we found that the telepathic vision can communicate with the remaining subconscious mind. Now that I have mastered the information from the outside world to him, I think the key is to eliminate his guilt, and Give him a new purpose."

"Since this is the case, then I have a solution."

Olivia turned around slightly. It turned out that this place is just like the content conveyed by the vision of the mind. Just outside is a huge space station. There is indeed a viewing platform with a glass curtain wall, where you can intuitively see the bustling scene outside.

Look at that place not far away, is that larger and longer building structure than ordinary docks?It is a square structure composed of a frame, every gap between the length and width can fit a Thundercloud class, and the space enclosed by this structure can easily fit eight Dusk class ships!And there are air strikes between the head and the tail!

"Next time you go in, show him the scene in New Vulgan, and then tell me a word - I am the top leader of the People's Alliance Army. How is the responsibility calculated, and he is worthy of it?"

PS: Good news, there are two days left, and the barrage will resume!
