Chapter 778 Tilan's Little Problem

'The star road is far away, and the deep sea is empty.'

This sentence is a motto that was circulated in the early Fourth Era. That was the era when humans left the earth and entered the vast deep space. Now, Tilan once again realized the meaning of these few words.

After the starship gradually left the territory of the Federation, everything became 'quiet'. The countless voices and information on the Internet disappeared. What the ears could hear and the eyes could see were only the people and things around them.

"Although I am anxious about not knowing the situation outside, this kind of life is wonderfully fulfilling." One day, Dolores said to Tilan at breakfast.

The eldest lady of the incense workshop did not stay in the Federation to inherit the family business, but chose to leave with Tilan and enter the vast starry sky.

"Because I can control my life." Tilan replied.

"Animals originally lived in an environment where they were familiar with every corner around them, including the terrain, passages, other animals around them, and so on. Such a familiar environment would make them feel at ease and safe."

"But with the development of human beings, most of the cognitive world has been filled and occupied by the Internet, and a lot of information on the Internet is beyond our control. It produces new things every day, and there are also various videos and manuscripts that spread anxiety in order to attract attention. In such an environment, it is very difficult to maintain self-stability and comfort." "

Most people cannot escape the influence of the social framework. Even if you have the resources and strength to do something, you must also consider the opinions and concepts of others." Tilan answered with her back straight while sitting at the dining table, using a knife to cut the pancakes on the plate and then giving one to Dolores.

"It's like an old fable, a man gave a bird cage to his friend and told him to hang it in the living room, betting that the other party would buy a bird soon."

"The friend didn't believe it at first, but later things developed as the former expected, and he had to buy a bird."

"Because he had to explain to every guest why there was an empty bird cage hanging there, it took up a lot of his energy and time."

"Even if he is not interested in raising birds, he has to do things that are in line with the public in order to reduce misunderstandings and troubles. This is the price of going against the environment."

"The comprehensive promotion of information will constantly change the environment, and the environment that changes every moment makes people feel anxious and out of control." Tilan put down the knife, picked up the finished pancake with both hands, took a bite, and tasted it slowly. The small amount of flour on the surface made the tongue feel a little rough, but the soft pancake inside had a hint of heat and fragrance after biting it open. Occasionally, one or two sesame seeds were like a surprise, bringing a variety of taste levels.

Dolores looked at the girl in front of her, who was like a child, enjoying the food seriously and happily, and she also felt a little happy and smiled.

I always feel that Tilan has become more lively and happy after leaving the Federation, or maybe everything over there is too heavy.

After breakfast, the two of them took a walk on the corridor outside the starship. On one side of the corridor is a huge and transparent metal glass, through which you can see the space outside the starship, and on the other side are various plants and flowers like a garden. The faint fluorescence shines from the top of the plant box, providing energy for the growth of these plants.

"Is going to the Sigma Mechanical Council this time Tilan's plan all along?" Dolores asked.

"Well, I wanted to go and see it before, but there have always been a lot of things in the southern star region. Because of my job, it is difficult to leave casually." She thought about it. The Sigma Mechanical Council is much larger than the Holy White Melody. It is not something that can be visited and understood in just one or two months.

"Before I left this time, I explained everything to them. Even if I'm away for a long time, they can handle it according to the new management framework."

"As for Pulin, my agreement with her is that the southern star region can accept the promotion of her policy ideas, but the military structure and industrial system cannot be changed in the short term."

"Did Pulin agree?" Dolores felt that the conditions given by Tilan were a bit harsh. After all, looking at the style of the central star region, they always want everything.

"Agreed." Tilan leaned against the guardrail and looked at the endless stars outside and answered.

"Because if I don't give it to her and keep blocking her, it will be almost impossible for her to unify the federation. The final result may be that we will confront each other for nearly a hundred years until we all die of old age."

"This result is not good for both me and her, so I gave in first and let her realize her ideas first, and I will come back in 20 years to check the situation of the country at that time."

"If everything is as she said, everything is developing in a good direction, and the progress brought by the fire covers and makes up for the contradictions in society, then I will retreat another 20 years." Tilan combed her hair.

"After 40 years, I will come back for the second time. If after 40 years, her method can still bring endless vitality and progress to this country, then until she dies, I will no longer compete with her for everything in the Federation."

"If she can't maintain stability in the first 20 years, and the internal contradictions of the entire country cannot be bridged, then I will take over the country from her and manage and lead it in my own way."

"Similarly, if the situation collapses after 40 years, I will do the same."

"But." Dolores stood behind Tilan and thought for a while.

"Even if Pulin is willing to hand over power at that time, what if the people around her don't allow it? For them, this is simply a matter of life and death."

"Then it's not up to them." Tilan turned around and smiled faintly.

"Adults speak, and children's opinions are useless." She has too many ways to deal with those people, but even in the civil war over the years, the Federation has not shown real violence and cruelty to these senior executives, which has given many giant companies a kind of illusory illusion.

The essence of power is not a simple position or a number on the card, but when you ask a person to do something, he is willing to listen and obey the rules you set.

Aimulalin did what she did back then, and she didn't mind doing it again, cleaning up these rotten termites.

"Because of my personality, I don't quite agree with Pulin's approach, but if she can really make it through this path, I will also patiently and humbly absorb the advantages of it and use it to improve my own methods and ideas." Tilan continued to move forward along the aisle.

"I will probably live a long time, especially with the hibernation technology left by Shui Yanqing and the others, and even the people around me can wait until then."

"If Pulin can reach her ideal in her heart safely, I am willing to give her the opportunity, because I am not fighting with her for the sake of winning."

"My real goal is just to hope that this civilization that has been standing still for a long time can break through the shackles and stride forward again."

"When my mission is over, I will probably sink into the depths of the Aegeka Sea like those predecessors and enter eternal sleep." Tilan said calmly about her inevitable death.

"You are still so precocious." Hearing this, Dolores couldn't help but step forward and scratched Tilan's small nose with her finger, interrupting her.

"When we first met, that is, when we were at Edes Academy, you talked about the distant future and this grand world, as if you had never thought about what kind of life you should live at your age."

"At that time, you were only about 16 years old, and you were busy studying and training every day. Later, you went to college. I heard from them that you rarely went out to play, and you were busy with various things as a singer. Then you graduated

. I don’t know except for the two years when you disappeared. In the rest of the years, you always spent your energy on those big things." "Do you know how to fall in love? Do you know what clothes girls wear most attractively? Have you seen the latest film and television performances? Although these are not necessary for you, I still hope that you can have a little bit of your own hobbies and fun, instead of being drowned by overly grand ideals." Dolores said, holding Tilan in her arms. Because of their growth, the two now look like a mature older sister and a still young and innocent younger sister.

"Come with me to the party activities these two days. Anyway, you don’t hold any position now, so you can’t refuse this time." Dolores put her hands on the girl’s shoulders, like a big black cat holding a chicken, so that the other party can’t run away easily.

"Uh, this..." Although Tilan was not afraid of facing all kinds of difficult officials and dangerous enemies, she was still a little nervous and didn't want to go to the party invitation of her friends.

"Just stay at home." She protested softly, thinking that she was already a mature adult and should choose her own life.

"No." Dolores stretched out her tone and looked at the girl in her arms with amusement. She finally caught Tilan's little weakness.

"Tomorrow I will put on some light makeup for you and dye your hair, and then our 'Miss Danterian' will be able to make a comeback." She thought of something in high school a long time ago, this alias Tilan used to cover up.

"It just so happened that I remembered that the young people on the starship were organizing a card battle competition. In the absence of various external aids and airborne mountains, the chances of winning the championship from the crowd on a single starship are still very high, so many people want to try their own skills and luck." Dolores said about the event poster she saw recently.

"You should also go and participate. In addition, you need to meet 10 friends at the event and add their contact information."

"Ah, do I need to add friends and contact information?" Tilan couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, otherwise you will definitely do nothing but play cards." Dolores knew Tilan's habits very well and knew that her character would do as little as possible.

"Go, go, don't run away this time." Dolores repeated in Tilan's ear, and then pinched Tilan's earlobe on a whim.

It was very soft, and it seemed to have a faint invisible fluff. Tilan is still a child, and her body has never grown, Dolores thought.

This action made Tilan let out a slight "ah", and then she deftly broke free from Dolores' arms, jumped several meters away, and kept a certain distance from this good friend.

"You are still so sensitive." Dolores was already familiar with this, and didn't know how Tilan judged contact.

Although she was often injured and bleeding in battle, she ignored it calmly. However, when it comes to close contact in daily life, she is always shy and overly sensitive.

The two chased each other for a while on the aisle, and then walked side by side holding hands.

After the heavy chat and cheerful play just now, the mood of both of them calmed down. How to describe this feeling? It's probably like the grass leaves dripping with dew in the morning after the rain, with green and tender grass leaves without dust, simple but with a faint sense of happiness.

"Tilan, please write some gentle and beautiful songs. This is your true nature." Dolores remembered something.

"Although you left everyone with the impression of 'dark singer' and 'dark wind' at the beginning, I know that was just your resistance and rejection in the face of many unbearable things."

"Now those noises and troubles are very far away, so -

can you show your simple and lovely side?"

"I like the girl who likes to watch the sunset in the club activity room, the girl who sits by the fireplace and draws graffiti to recall the happy day, and the girl who goes to the pond with a big white duck." Dolores recounted the young and immature figure in her memory, the Tilan who was not as calm and composed as she is now.

"Simple and cute?" Tilan looked at Dolores and said this, her eyes closed and opened again, with a little playful doubt.

"I never thought I was cute at that time, nor did I think I was very simple." She shook her head, unwilling to admit it.

"That's what many girls would do, and the word 'simple' seems to mean that I'm a little silly, just like Laramia." In her heart, although Laramia is a very smart mechanical angel, her personality is a little simple and cute.

Laramia was also on the ship when she went to the Sigma Mechanical Council this time, but she should be chatting with several T1 super AIs on the bridge, sharing recent interesting things. Although the composition principles are completely different, the two sides do resonate in some experiences and feelings.

"Oh, so this is how Tilan sees Laramia. If I tell her one day, she will probably cry to you again." Dolores covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Don't grab this kind of handle." Tilan felt that she was indeed a little 'lively' today, so that she lost her usual steadiness and meticulousness.

"Okay, since Tilan asked me, then as a good friend, I will definitely not tell anyone." Dolores raised her finger, closed one eye slightly, and smiled knowingly.

"But you have to accompany me to participate in the card battle event tomorrow, and remember to make a few new songs. They should be gentle, cute, and lively. They can't be too powerful or too grand, and there should be no allegorical metaphors. Just the simplest, plain and pure happiness."

"You seem to be giving me a difficult problem." Tilan complained.

"Yes, this is the problem called life." Dolores turned around and smiled.

Nagging, the plot outline cannot be changed, the little broken boat is about to reach the end, Qingkong is lazy and doesn't want to overhaul it
