Chapter 675 Answers to Past Questions
"It's been a year without me noticing."
Sitting in the office on the third floor, Tilan touched the ring on her hand.
The newly transplanted cherry tree outside the window is growing well, with dark green branches and leaves. It will probably bear fruit next spring, but whether she can see it is still uncertain.
This morning, Tilan suddenly felt that the ring was a little hot, and there seemed to be a ripple in the space of Aijaka. It seems that the gray dust crystal has achieved some results. If this can locate her location, a starship should arrive on this planet soon.
In this year, the first half of the year was running around, and the second half of the year was spent trying to manage the Star-Seeking Covenant and establish order. This process made Tilan grow a lot, especially some grassroots management experience and experience.
Seeing an organization established from scratch with her own eyes, she still felt a sense of accomplishment. If she were to return to the Federation now and establish a similar organization, it would become much easier. Unlike in the past, even if she had the talent of a singer to make everyone recognize her, after all, it was not achieved by herself, so it was always a little unstable and incomplete.
Such an experience made Tilan more confident and calmer. She rarely had strange dreams when she slept. In Themisia's words, the silly sister finally looked like a sister.
In addition, the contact with a large number of new races allowed her to look at the current federation and many historical issues from another perspective.
There is no doubt that the establishment of the Rose Federation is a great revival and progress of human civilization. It is stronger than any period of human civilization in the past six eras. The only thing that cannot be surpassed is the transcendents of the glorious era. The current technology can only be said to be partially ahead of the transcendent era, and many places have not yet reached the height of that era.
Since the Rose Federation is progressive and great, is it really flawless? This is not the case. It still cannot get rid of many historical cycle problems and some shortcomings of human beings themselves.
The gap between the rich and the poor, the corruption and injustice of society, the prejudice and selfishness of people, etc. still exist. To overcome these and advance human civilization again, unprecedented changes and progress are still needed.
Now, she sees another path of human civilization that has been obscured in these new races, that is, the sublimation of the quality of civilized individuals.
When you want to blame others, please know that not everyone has such superior conditions as you.
In various literary works, when describing the future of races and civilizations, they always like to say that it is because of the goodness and evil of human beings that something has happened, or at the end of various debates and battles, everything is destroyed, which makes the author and the reader fall into nothingness, because they cannot conceive of a perfect society, everything will be corrupted, everything will be defeated by human greed and selfishness, etc.
This is actually a very arrogant concept, even an invisible toxin, which permeates various literary works. The specific description of this toxin is that all success and failure are attributed to human morality, beliefs, and spiritual factors.
Because human nature is selfish and greedy, any great ideal will eventually fall to the ground, and any utopian world will collapse. Some creators like to create such tragedies very much, and they claim to be smart and think that they are wise men who have broken some unrealistic fantasies.
However, afterwards, if you ask them to say what kind of society is ideal and what kind of future is perfect, they will hesitate, because they know that once they say it, they will be picked out of all kinds of problems, which is what they usually like to do most.
Human will is not infinite. People need hope and beacons. People always criticize others for being unrealistic, but never think that they have nothing. Without goals and hope, they will be confused and rigid like zombies.
There is nothing wrong with the fantasy of a civilized future and the yearning for an ideal society. It has actually promoted many changes invisibly. You can say that it is not perfect enough, but please don't slander those pioneers.
Since blindly denying and attacking is wrong, then where is the fulcrum for advocating an ideal society or even a utopian future? As many literary works say, people are unchangeably selfish, with animal instincts and bestiality.
'The pen that can write the answer has not yet appeared on the examination table. '
All success and failure cannot be attributed entirely to morality, spirit, and belief. This is ignorant and poisonous, but for the sake of appeal, most literary creations choose it as the main core, saying, 'As long as we have enough faith, we will definitely win~'.
In fact, higher morality requires higher material foundation and physical conditions, which is something that many literary works avoid talking about.
Talking about morality to poor people on the verge of life and death, saying that you cannot steal even if you starve to death, is immoral in itself.
But if you talk about morality to people who have enough food and clothing and have normal channels to work and live, saying that you cannot steal, this is reasonable.
If you want to improve the level of enlightenment and morality of the entire civilization, you must give everyone a higher material foundation and physical conditions.
Talking about the future order with someone who only has three days to live is completely different from talking about the future order with someone who still has 300 years to live.
Human life span is only a hundred years, half of which is still childhood and frail old age, and the essence is only 20-40, a short twenty years, which will undoubtedly make people anxious, because they really have a limited life and limited time. Many choices are forced to go forward, and they must complete certain things at a certain age, which undoubtedly brings many problems.
If you want to build an ideal society, you must first improve the quality of all individuals in the civilization, so that they have sufficient material security and a longer lifespan. This will make it easier to choose long-termism. In this way, morality will become beneficial to both parties, because the efficiency of unity and cooperation is greater than fighting alone. Only when everything is sufficient can we play and feel happy without any scheming.
If you want to solve the degeneration and corruption of civilization, it is not advisable to blindly promote moral beliefs, and it is also not advisable to only provide material without education and guidance. Both are like overlapping spiral stairs, and neither is indispensable.
'The pen that can write the answer has not yet appeared on the examination table. '
The quality of civilized individuals required to achieve an ideal society has not yet been achieved. Even if there are two generations of color-level singers who have injected lofty and beautiful beliefs into the Rose Federation, it is still difficult to hide the corruption over time.
People who have not yet gotten rid of their anxious lives have no spare energy to build a beautiful ideal.
The premise of liberating the spirit is to liberate the material foundation and physical limitations. If people's lifespan is still only a hundred years, then many beautiful ideas are empty talk, because many people are destined not to wait for that day, and naturally there is no motivation to move towards that day.
Therefore, even if it means going against historical inertia and shouldering moral baggage, it is necessary to improve human genes and optimize all individual qualities and physical conditions.
Tilan could imagine how much opposition and accusation would be raised if she really promoted this kind of thought in the Federation, but the fact was that this was an inevitable choice, but the humans of the Fifth Epoch had gone astray.
Could she control the steering wheel of the entire civilization and make it move in the right direction without deviating and losing control halfway? She
looked at the lush cherry tree outside the window.
If she didn't have the talent of a singer, or if she hadn't been discovered and lifted up, she would still be just an ordinary girl, and she would definitely not have such arrogant ideas.
But there is no if in reality, and you have to accept what happened and make a choice based on it.
She is no longer the weak child who evades responsibility. Since she has such a talent and is expected by countless people, why not follow her childhood dream and go on bravely.
Tilan slowly closed her eyes, then opened them, and continued to write her ideas and plans for the future on the page in front of her. She
had to hurry up, and when the starship that came to pick her up arrived, she would be busy and couldn't take care of things here.
...
Time passed quietly, and the weather gradually turned cooler from midsummer to the cool September.
A burst of hurried horse hooves passed through the street, and then stopped in front of the newly built town center. The dismounted personnel quickly walked in, and soon someone came to the door of Tilan's office and knocked.
"Come in." A familiar girl's voice sounded.
The members outside the door straightened their clothes and walked into the room. They saw the girl sitting behind the desk. She was wearing a black dress with white silk scarves and silk flowers on the collar and cuffs. This dress slightly neutralized the girl's gentle temperament and made her look a little more majestic.
"Your Highness Heshia." The visitor knelt on one knee and began to report.
"We have received news from the far east. After the local Iron Rat Kingdom excavated a certain ruin, it triggered an internal fight in the kingdom. During the war, one of the parties released the mechanical bodies dormant in the ruins. After these mechanical bodies appeared, they began to kill the races they saw. At present, the main force of the Iron Rat Kingdom has collapsed, and a large number of residents have fled in all directions, and many people have migrated to our side."
"How many of them are there?"
"The Iron Rat Kingdom originally had about one million people, and currently there are about 100,000 people fleeing in our direction."
"Is that so..." Tilan tapped silently on the armrest, thinking about how to deal with it.
"How long can our food supply last?"
"If it is only the current supply of more than 5,000 permanent residents, it can support two years, but if it is to support the victims, it is not enough."
"Let them continue to migrate westward. I remember that the Stone Sword Covenant on the grassland reported that water conservancy construction is currently underway and there is a shortage of manpower."
"This should be feasible." The reporter no longer raised any objections.
"Let's do it. You take people to notify the patrol cavalry on the grassland and let them prepare to guide and receive personnel. As for those mechanical bodies chasing us, I have a way to deal with them."
"Also, is there any specific information about the ruins?" The girl became interested.
"It is said that it is a spaceship that crashed and buried underground. It should be the troop transporter of the Mechanical Council back then."
"Spaceship." Tilan thought of something.
"Since it can deploy troops across several star fields, it must have the ability to travel at superluminal speed. Such a thing..." There must be many organizations and forces interested in it. It is no wonder that the Iron Rat Kingdom will fight internally. After all, this technology is too tempting.
"It seems that I have to go." She can't put all her hopes on the gray dust crystal. She has to think of a way herself.
In this year, I hope that there will be no drastic changes in the Federation. Speaking of which, Blanche won at that time, and the changes have already happened, Tilan complained in her heart.
After returning to the residence, Tilan began to select the accompanying personnel assistants, among which Lololia was a must. With this artificial angel, many questions about the ruins and the spacecraft can be asked to her. As for the others...
"I want to go. You can't leave me this time, Tilan." Orles spoke more and more fluently.
"I also want to go and take a look." Celitia said that her knowledge could also come in handy.
"I really want to take a look, but I'm afraid I will hold Heshia back." Sura turned the hammer in his hand.
"I will definitely go, even if Lady Heshia doesn't take me." Fran said that as a member of the Slami Association, he has the obligation to go to the front line to find ruins information.
"I guess the Slami Association headquarters will also send people here this time." After saying that, he thought about it.
"Maybe I will meet many acquaintances." Sura smiled.
"Where is Guy?" Tilan looked around curiously.
"He has been very busy with work recently." Because of Guy's past experience, he is now the business officer in the city, responsible for coordinating and planning the conduct of various trades, maintaining price stability, etc.
"Let's do this. Fran, you and some of the other people will follow and don't get too close to the dangerous area. I will take Loloria and Celitia to the center of the incident and tell you what I find later." Considering that there are still a large number of mechanical bodies at the scene, Tilan may not be able to take care of everyone, so it is better to keep them away from the battle.
"I understand this and I won't force it." Fran nodded. He almost died at the hands of the mechanical body and knew the danger.
"In this case, let's start preparing and set off tomorrow." After making arrangements, Tilan announced.
"Wait a minute, I actually know a group of rats, I mean the rat-eared tribe, they should be able to help." Celitia spoke, talking about several rat-eared tribes that she had become familiar with some time ago.
"It should be very convenient to have them as guides."
"In this case, let them pick two or three people to follow us, and the rest will stay with Fran and the others."
"Okay."
After the decision was made, the town began to operate. First, a notice was issued to inform people not to go to the dangerous area in the east recently, and to prepare to store food to deal with the famine migration at the end of the year.
Unlike the Stone Sword Covenant that had just established order on the grassland, the Star Chasing Covenant here already had extremely high organization and discipline, so the execution of various orders was also extremely fast. Not only the town where Tilan was located, but also the various settlements under the Star Chasing Covenant began to receive notifications.
The cavalrymen who delivered the message set out from here and headed for various scattered settlements. The various tribal settlements far to the west by the big river also began to receive the news and sent additional personnel to form patrol cavalry to deal with the upcoming impact.
The next day, facing the cool autumn breeze, Tilan and others boarded a small plane, which accelerated on the ground and then rose. The plane was completely controlled by the built-in mechanical core. After lifting, it flew into the distance in the sky under the guidance of Loloria's companion flight.
