Two days after the infected aliens were eliminated by Wencheng's team, the disinfection and cleaning of the entire spacecraft was finally completed, and the curfew on the spacecraft was lifted.
The remaining senior officials passed the new proposal unanimously through a democratic vote, and a new power body was born.
The ten remaining senior officials, together with Vladimir, who had remained on the sidelines, and Wencheng, who had made great contributions in the previous mission, formed the Parliament of Hope.
The twelve members of Parliament are legally equal, and any proposal from then on must be passed by a majority of votes.
Wencheng remained loyal to humanity and joined this new power structure with great enthusiasm.
On the day the Hope Parliament was established, a crucial bill was passed.
Two hundred thousand embryos will be randomly selected and born into this world as normal humans after one year of cultivation.
Another 300,000 embryos will be cultivated over a five-year period.
At the same time, the spacecraft's own system began to operate, and the supply of life-sustaining food (nutritional paste) was put on the agenda.
When these embryos grow into young adults and are born from the greenhouse, what awaits them will be a desolate planetary surface, endless work, and basic knowledge that fills their brains that they themselves cannot even figure out.
Their origins and the meaning of their existence will not be deliberately remembered.
Only when they finish a day's work can they see the unreachable spire and sigh at mankind's past prosperity and the bright future that may exist.
After that, they will live their lives as normal human beings. Some babies will be conceived naturally, while others will adopt children who are not related to them and raise them.
Thirty years later, this first batch of humans who have been accelerated will inevitably enter a period of mass death. When they completely disappear from this world, no one will remember anything the parliament has done.
This day marks the beginning of a new era. From this day on, there are no more spaceships, only spires rising into the sky.
And the only human settlement on the planet - City of Hope.
In the years that followed, strange beasts began to appear in this world, and city walls rose from the ground, dividing the inside and outside of the City of Hope.
At this point, Wencheng truly became a powerful man, and things should have continued like this, but... no plan is ever perfect.
The first incident occurred a year later.
When two hundred thousand accelerated humans were about to be activated, the congressmen put on their authority terminals and came to the sophisticated machine called "No. 1".
The scientist who was able to repair the machine died in an accident a year ago. Faced with this technology that is no different from a "black box", the rest of the people can only simply set it up and use it.
The authority authentication was passed, the "No. 1" instrument started to operate, and the backdoor left by a wise man was successfully triggered.
Perhaps it was because he foresaw his own defeat, perhaps it was to put the final shackles on humanity, or perhaps it was simply a "death whine" left behind for revenge...
After the target authority was not detected, the instructions entered by the congressmen were tampered with.
In other words, their instructions were successfully overwritten by a preset command.
The impact and modification on the brain spread to the entire City of Hope, including the twelve councillors themselves.
Everyone fell into a brief faint and coma. When they woke up, a thick layer of invisible and intangible fog had forever shrouded their brains.
Most memories are retained, but thinking ability deteriorates.
Some common sense that originally required no thought at all has become knowledge that leaves no impression unless you think about it carefully.
They couldn't even remember the exact time they landed on this planet...
Hines no longer had the calm mind that he was proud of, and the others were similar... They seemed to have returned to their youth when they were irritable and unwilling to listen to any advice.
This situation lasted for several months, which directly resulted in the first batch of ripened humans being soaked in the nutrient solution for half a year longer than planned.
Wencheng is perhaps the councillor with the least sequelae - among the original twelve, he is the only one who has undergone reconstructive surgery.
Looking at the congressmen whose thinking abilities had been reduced, Wen Cheng selectively concealed his own cards, and steadily increased his voice in the following ten years, from a marginal figure in the parliament to a think tank-like figure.
Just when Wencheng thought that humanity was once again on the right track, the second incident occurred.
Vladimir was the first to discover the secret hidden by the ten parliamentarians. He conducted an in-depth investigation as a personal investigator, but ultimately found nothing.
His actions were exposed to the eyes of other congressmen. It was already the 30th year of the new era, and the selection and use of super-powered people had become a routine. However, Vladimir, the oldest congressman, was obviously an old stubborn man who was conservative and stuck in the old ways.
Vladimir's principles were actually very simple. He did not support either side back then, but he also did not want to see bloodshed break out.
He could turn a blind eye to struggles within principles, but the leakage of the alien life experiment was like an accident, announcing the end of the struggle in the form of an unconventional move.
Faced with this unexpected result, Vladimir accepted it, but it did not mean he fully believed it.
As time went by, although he entered old age, the blockade of his memory began to slowly unravel.
He began to sort out everything from that year, but found that some of the information had been shredded and deleted decades ago.
The significance of this behavior is self-evident.
So he began a private investigation, but after finding nothing, a humiliating defeat at the hands of the beast robbed him of his last bit of prestige.
Investigating colleagues privately will be disadvantageous in foreign wars.
With the two people abstaining from voting, Vladimir was successfully impeached internally and lost his seat in parliament.
Five days later, his half-rotten body appeared at the exit of the inner city sewer.
Wencheng took over Vladimir's position, tasks and...doubts.
The seeds of doubt grew in his heart, and a more careful plan was brewing.
But Wencheng did not notice one problem - controlling the army is inherently dangerous. After Vladimir's death, he became the only member of the military faction. While inheriting the other party's power, he also inherited the firepower that Vladimir once faced.
Wencheng never thought about this question because he considered himself extremely loyal to humans.
Until a document broke his filter and shattered the beautiful dream he didn't want to wake up from.
It was a document that should have long since disappeared into history, recording some meetings, some plots, and some division of the spoils after victory.
After browsing through them, the files disappeared out of thin air on Wencheng's terminal, leaving a confused human being behind.
