Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Small Request
Ye Ning's voice reached every corner of Haichen Star through the live broadcast. Those gentle yet powerful words seemed to have some magical power that suddenly relieved everyone's tense nerves for days.
The live broadcast screen gradually disappeared, but the gorgeous fireworks above their heads were deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
After the live broadcast ended, Lu Tai personally expressed his gratitude to Ye Ning.
Not only him, but behind him, senior federal officials and members of the Military Commission, more than a dozen federal officials, expressed their gratitude to her together, including several familiar faces.
Everyone gave her a lot of compliments without any prior agreement.
She's responsible, courageous, and wise. She's a role model for pure humanity and the future of Star Dust...
And everyone once again extended a sincere invitation to her, hoping that she could go to the Federal Territory.
Ye Ning smiled and rejected them, still using the same excuse as before. She didn't want to make Long Qi unhappy.
When she said this, she even exchanged glances with Lu Tai.
Ye Ning quickly ended the thank-you session. The matter was not over yet, it was just that the Federation would not use weapons to launch a forceful attack for the time being.
But the Federation certainly cannot end its suppression of the rebels just like that.
The Federation has promised comprehensive reforms, especially regarding resource allocation, technology sharing, and other issues that everyone cares about.
Even though the federal government has such a good attitude, if the rebels still do not know what is good for them and refuse to talk, they will immediately lose public support.
Public opinion is the foundation of a regime's legitimacy. Only a regime that enjoys the support and recognition of the majority of the people can legitimately rule. A regime that relies solely on coercion will not last long and will be overthrown.
When she put away the bracelet and turned around, she saw Hou Lin's eyes were slightly red.
Ye Ning noticed his mood and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Hou Lin shook his head and said, "I'm sure everyone will be able to sleep well today."
At the moment the fireworks burst, he thought again, it’s a good thing that Ye Ning suddenly appeared in this world.
Ye Ning rarely saw him so sentimental. She patted his shoulder and said, "The Federation doesn't really want to start a war. Even if a war breaks out, there's still Silos. If a war breaks out on land, he'll be the one who benefits and unify the Sea Dust Planet."
"Then he didn't win without doing anything."
Hou Lin regained his spirits and said, "We don't know how long this matter will last. Anyway, let's do our own thing first."
"Would you like some water?"
Le Song had already handed over the kettle. "Ye Ning, you said it very well. There are many things I haven't thought about carefully."
Ye Ning took a sip of water and continued, "Actually, my thoughts aren't very comprehensive. Today, I just want to give you some ideas on how to think about the problem."
"The future of a planet cannot be decided by one or two people. It requires the joint planning, experimentation, and efforts of all people living on this land."
She can't say that she is absolutely right, but everyone's goal is to have a better life, and it is always right to move towards this goal.
Le Song nodded vigorously. "The district chief also dumped a lot of rock grass on the edge of the restricted area today. He said he wanted to slowly clean up the pollutants in the restricted area."
"We can plant more plants first, and then gradually clean up the pollutants in the restricted area. Sooner or later, Dust Planet will be free of pollutants!"
Ye Ning nodded and said, "Then I'll plant some more rock grass tomorrow and you guys can send it back."
The effective toxins they developed themselves were definitely not as effective as the pesticides provided by the system, so she still had to do it herself.
Hou Lin thought of something and continued, "I'll go follow up on Long Qi's matter now, so they don't come back and refuse to do it, and then make excuses."
This is the small request Ye Ning made to the Federation. She asked the Federation to abolish the law in the federal law that stipulates the early execution of Dilong.
The laws specifically targeting the Emperor Dragon were enacted decades ago, many of them by Lu Tai. Ye Ning casually glanced at some of them, and in one sentence, she could describe them as a bunch of the most cruel and unjust provisions written in the most serious terms, and they all began with the words, "For the safety of pure humanity."
The opening of just a few simple words can make people feel directly that the contradiction lies between pure humans and the Emperor Dragon.
The amendment of the law is a very serious matter, and it is naturally not something that can be amended immediately just because Ye Ning says so.
But just now, the federal officers were unable to take action against the rebels due to the Pure Human Protection Act. Ye Ning's proposal to amend the relevant provisions of the Pure Human Protection Act was not unreasonable, but rather a pillow given to her when she dozed off.
However, time was urgent and the other party was just a secretary, so he did not give her an accurate answer.
But Ye Ning didn't want to use this matter to force them, she just wanted to take this opportunity to put forward her own demands.
Ye Ning nodded and said, "If they don't agree, I will go and talk to them again."
Gu Yu held one of her coats in his hand and said, "You've been tired all day. Do you want to go back and rest early?"
Ye Ning glanced at the time and said, "It's still early. The dumplings in my stomach haven't been digested yet."
"It's so early, I won't be able to sleep if I go back. I'll cultivate the saplings for another hour, and then we can go back."
Everyone nodded and went about their own business.
Compared to other areas of the Federation, the orcs in the rebel area were the most moved when the fireworks burst. Some even burst into tears and hugged each other.
No one expected that at such a critical moment, Ye Ning would stand up for them, not only successfully preventing the outbreak of a war, but also setting off such a grand fireworks display for them.
The situation inside the rebel area is far from as simple as everyone imagines.
The rebellion of the district chief and other high-level officials was so sudden that the orcs passing by were locked up before they could react.
Over the past few days, the streets and alleys have been filled with rebel figures, and various surveillance robots bearing rebel insignia have been hovering over the city.
They wore uniform military uniforms that were completely different from those of the Federation. They were wrapped tightly from head to toe. Even their voices were mechanical, cold and stiff, without any fluctuation in tone. They were like a group of programmed, emotionless robots.
If anyone tried to resist, they would be immediately suppressed by the surrounding rebels. The rebels acted swiftly and deployed strict measures at all exits, forcing even the marine orcs to stay inside.
Fortunately, the rebels have not posed any life-threatening danger to them so far.
And whenever such a tense situation arose, the rebels would send another group of people to gently appease them. Tonight, Feng Yue appeared before them and said that he would ensure that they would not be in any danger from the Federation.
But no matter how the rebels spoke soothing words in a caring tone, when everyone was trapped inside and forced to be cut off from the outside world and other people, the fear and anxiety in their hearts could not be dispelled.
Especially when they saw the various high-tech weapons that the Federation had set up around them early on, and the surrender notice that was played on a loop, the panic in everyone's hearts reached its peak.
The Federation possesses the most advanced weapons on Dust Star. If a fight breaks out, can the rebels resist? Even if they can resist, weapons are blind, and no one can guarantee that their lives will not be endangered.
The tension and anxiety that had been plaguing everyone for several days finally disappeared with the grand fireworks show and Ye Ning's gentle voice.
On the federal network, Ye Ning's live broadcast video had long been recorded and forwarded, replayed and hotly discussed by countless people.
"Lord Ye Ning is absolutely right. Planting plants and using them to purify pollutants has been a goal we've pursued for thousands of years. We can't just abandon what we've been adhering to for thousands of years just because something new suddenly appears."
"And we can't blindly pin our hopes on the unknown and ignore and abandon the proven ways of living we already have. This really dawned on me. Isn't what we have now the life we've been dreaming of for thousands of years?"
"Yes, Lord Ye Ning has put so much effort into raising seedlings and planting plants day and night, so that we can live in such a clean environment and see and eat plants. So why on earth would we want to merge with pollutants? To bring suffering upon ourselves? Moreover, fused orcs have not been tested by time. If nothing goes wrong in a month, can we guarantee that nothing will go wrong in a year or ten years? What if they are then devoured by the pollutants?"
"That's right. I think this is what Lord Ye Ning wants to tell us. We can look for new directions, but we can't act rashly. How long have we been living this good life? The most important thing we should do now is to gather our strength and promote the planting business on Sea Dust Star. Only in this way can Sea Dust Star recover its vitality as soon as possible and create a promising future for our descendants."
…
Gu Su has been monitoring online public opinion.
The topics of discussion were varied, but the core still revolved around the specific thoughts that Ye Ning had just mentioned.
Ye Ning has a dedicated publicity team that is responsible for related matters.
Usually we do some plant promotion, but today is a good time to expand Ye Ning's influence, so we naturally have to take advantage of this favorable situation.
The Federation's announcement of reforms is certainly more than just talk; a concrete and feasible plan must be provided as soon as possible. However, the Federation's best approach is to expedite the election of a new president. This is the quickest way to resolve the dispute, and subsequent federal reforms can be directly credited to the new president.
But no matter how the Federation wants to deal with this matter, they will supervise and promote it in the name of Ye Ning.
Another very important thing is what Ye Ning just said, that she is willing to serve as a bridge of communication between the rebels and the Federation.
After all, it seemed that the rebels and the Federation were irreconcilable and at war. Furthermore, there was a huge trust crisis between the two sides. From a problem-solving perspective, with Ye Ning acting as a mediator, it would be easier for both sides to find a peaceful solution. Therefore, having a trustworthy person to act as a bridge of communication was essential.
Both parties care about Ye Ning very much and hope to get her support. This is an opportunity but also a danger for Ye Ning.
Ye Ning herself also hoped to use this opportunity to learn more. The person who killed the pure human and the Emperor Dragon had not yet been found. It was like a knife hanging over everyone's head, and no one knew when it would fall.
Ye Ning didn't think the other party had any intention of stopping or changing his plan. She just felt that the other party seemed to be even more impatient.
Gu Su continued to read the news on the Internet. Suddenly, he came across the photo of Feng Yue that was just released by the Rebel Zone today. At a glance, he knew that Feng Yue was in a very good mood when he took this photo.
This should be a photo of her taken earlier today, even her hair is carefully groomed.
He calmly passed over Feng Yue's message.
She must have also seen Ye Ning's live speech tonight. Based on his understanding of her, she should be very angry now.
Feng Yue is indeed very angry now, but in comparison, the anger of the rebel leaders is even stronger at this time.
