Chapter 16 History



“Read history to gain insights, and examine the past to understand the present.” Finding one’s roots, heritage, and civilization is what Chinese people today are striving to and must find.

After Shang Lu recovered his memories of his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh whenever he thought of the history he knew.

All people who lived in the previous life would never have imagined that social development would develop to such an extent that they would have to move from the blue planet where they originally lived and come to the vast interstellar civilization.

According to the epochal calendar, more than a thousand years after his previous life, society developed, the population of Blue Star increased dramatically, and science and technology developed, but at the same time, two major problems, environmental pollution and energy depletion, also emerged. The environment of Blue Star became increasingly worse, and natural disasters and diseases occurred frequently, seriously affecting human health. After another hundred years, the natural environment of Blue Star became even worse, and the living environment was extremely harsh.

Humans eventually put their fantasy back on the stage of reality and began to develop aviation and space in the hope of finding new planets suitable for human life. For nearly a thousand years, humans from all over the world have been looking for alien planets. Aviation has developed unprecedentedly, and planets suitable for human life have indeed been found, but things are not that simple. It took hundreds of years to fight for the stars, find new planets, and contact and connect with newly discovered interstellar civilizations.

By the time everything had settled and the situation had stabilized, it was already the year 3000 AD. The environment on Blue Planet was worse than one could imagine and had long been unsuitable for human habitation. The Earth's population had dropped dramatically, and all countries and civilizations were busy transferring species, materials, and people from Earth in batches. While they were busy, an acid rain on Blue Planet was like the last straw, overwhelmed by it and caused it to completely collapse.

Human life is of utmost importance. Except for the Earth species and some books and materials that were transported away first, all the materials originally planned to be transported to the new planet Blue Water Star made way for humans. The spacecraft left behind their personal belongings and took all the people it could to Blue Water Star.

Water Blue Planet is the planet where Shanglu and his people live today and is inhabited by the descendants of the Chinese.

Later, the spacecraft that went back to Blue Planet to transport supplies to Blue Planet returned empty-handed because all the supplies had disappeared or been destroyed.

Those materials were the most important carriers of Chinese civilization, because their loss caused the Chinese to lose their heritage. This truth was slowly figured out by the Chinese themselves later. If it weren't for the selection of the Blue Planet as a test planet for migration, and the species that had been preserved on the Blue Planet due to the harsh environment were not planted and raised, the traces of the Blue Planet would have disappeared more completely, not to mention the heritage of civilization.

Of course, the above reasons are only part of the reason for losing their own civilization heritage. Although this is the main reason recorded in history, we can still know from Shang Lu’s identity that there is actually a bigger reason, that is, they abandoned those civilizations and heritages themselves, and with the rapid development of society, they pursued the civilizations of other ethnic groups, which led to the gradual loss of their own civilization heritage.

You have to bear the consequences of your own actions. In the interstellar civilization, in an era that emphasizes inheritance, the Chinese, who boast of their 7,000-year-old history, have lost too much of their own civilizational heritage, so they are not so confident when they speak out. Also, because they cannot show their own unique civilization, they are not so respected in front of aliens.

Shang Lu was angry and helpless about this. In his previous life, he had never thought that their descendants would face such a situation. After all, in his previous life, China was a great country and a country of etiquette that was well-known both at home and abroad. Not to mention the civilized creatures on other planets, those who came from ancient planets like them were once vassal states of China. They were all taught civilization by China, and the origin of civilization all came from vassal states of China. But now, the descendants of these vassal states came to them to show off their "orthodox" heritage.

What an incredible thing, how ridiculous, but it really exists. The three-foot-thick ice is not formed in a day. The Chinese have come to this point today, and it will not be achieved in a few years. It needs to be done slowly. Fortunately, he is still young and has time. Step by step, there will always be results, just like the royal system that is slowly entering its best state.

When we first arrived at the Blue Water Planet, there was no princess. It was only later, due to the environment and circumstances, and after years of research and reflection on the past, that the royal family, queen, and princesses came into being to specifically inherit civilization.

Shang Lu followed the dignified and serious Lian Zhen, thinking so as he carefully protected her as she walked out of the room. Looking at Lian Zhen who seemed like a different person, he felt full of fighting spirit.

"Alu, this dress is very heavy." The next moment, Lian Zhen broke the illusion of "being like a different person". Lian Zhen's movements remained unchanged, but his little mouth moved slightly, and a soft and thin voice floated into Shang Lu's ears.

"Come on..." Shang Lu smiled and encouraged her softly.

"Yes." Lian Zhen answered very forcefully, causing the etiquette officer on the other side to curl her lips slightly. She lowered her head slightly to remind Lian Zhen, "Please be careful, we are going up the stairs."

"Thank you." Lian Zhen lifted her skirt slightly and walked up steadily. Although she was mentally prepared, her body still shook the next second. There were crowds of people outside the Princess Pavilion. The moment she appeared, screams and cannon fire resounded through the sky.

All of a sudden, I entered another world from the quiet Princess House. Shouts of “Princess…” and “Princess…” came from the mouths of men, women, young and old, of different ages and identities, forming an extraordinary force that made my heart beat faster.

The smooth stone-paved avenue from the Princess Pavilion to the Queen's Palace was opened for the princess' coronation. Thousands of spectators selected from the applicants gathered on both sides of the avenue, vying to see Lian Zhen, the newly crowned princess.

"Please go down the stairs." Lian Zhen's stunned state due to the huge crowds of people in front of him was quickly broken by the etiquette lady.

Lian Zhen swallowed her saliva, lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs carefully and gracefully. When she reached the last staircase, her foot suddenly twisted and she fell to the side due to the unstable footing...

"Puff..." On the other side of the screen, the only white-haired old lady sitting opposite Zhu Jin was drinking water. When she saw this, the water in her mouth sprayed not far away, but she just choked and started coughing.

"Are you okay?" Zhu Jin stood up immediately.

"It's okay... ahem..." the old man waved his hands, his eyes still fixed on the screen. Lian Zhen had already been supported by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Shang Lu. The etiquette official's face flashed with surprise, and she smiled at the embarrassed Lian Zhen and said, "...The princess's formal dress is complicated, long and heavy. You can easily trip if you're not careful. I remember the queen stepped on the princess's skirt when she was crowned and almost fell." This was considered to be helping Lian Zhen out.

"Almost..." Lian Zhen's face turned pale. He glanced at Shang Lu, and quickly calmed down when he saw the calmness in his eyes. He frowned and smiled, cooperating with the etiquette officer's words, with an expression as if he had survived a disaster. His expression was so innocent that the people at the scene and those watching the live broadcast could not help but smile.

"Please get in the carriage." The etiquette lady's smile and etiquette were impeccable. She smiled and reminded Lian Zhen, and together with Shang Lu, helped her get into the antique carriage full of flowers. Seeing Lian Zhen's trembling eyebrows, she knew she was nervous. She sighed in her heart and spoke softly while supporting her, trying to make her feel more relaxed, "Please be careful, this formal dress is too heavy and too thick. Fortunately, this coronation date was chosen well. When Princess Nan was coronated in July, she was sweaty in two hours. It was so pitiful that her whole body was wet."

"Really? I don't quite remember." Lian Zhen stiffened slightly, pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a forced smile, stood up straight and steady himself without looking at the etiquette officer.
