Chapter 83

There are more than 3000 governing stars in the Galactic Republic. In addition to more than 1000 planets around the source of floodlight, there are 2000 administrative star provinces scattered in other galaxies. The source of floodlight is the most artificially modified planet in the universe. Since 17007, the administrative center of the Galactic Republic moved here, the entire planet began to be rebuilt.

After thousands of years, the source of floodlight has been transformed into a metal planet similar to a comprehensive fortress, with a reconstruction degree of 37%. This once caused protests and condemnation from many member states of the Star Alliance. Therefore, the great astronautics association has re enacted the law of planet transformation, which explicitly states that excessive modification of the planet is not allowed, so as to avoid the collapse of the environment and the gravitational system of the planet.

However, the fruits of the Republic have been preserved. The commercial star Uther united system, the residential star andorranka, the agricultural and resource planet sebis Under the control of the Republic, more than a thousand planets of all kinds revolve around the giant stars in the galaxy where the source of the floodlight is located. They echo each other, but they are independent of each other.

After entering the solar system, there is no visa application to travel to and from the planets.

Because of its special position, the earth's surface of the whole planet is covered by 74 million pieces of metallic plates of versal color. They crisscross with each other to build corresponding number of platforms. Each platform is an independent area. They are staggered every hour in the support of magnetic field and change their position once.

As soon as opal got off the spaceship, he was attracted by numerous maglev vehicles and small robots in the sky and on the ground. Everywhere, there were colorful magnetic levitation vehicle light tracks, which were interlaced layer by layer, to the sky.

The ground can move on its own. Colin takes him to stand on an orientation board marked "pass" and input his identity code and destination. Then transparent panels are automatically inlaid around him to form a closed room, and the floor pops up the sofa.

"Welcome to the source of floodlight." "The number of passengers: 2. We are waiting in line. There are 41 seconds before you enter the passing line. "

Colin sat down on the sofa, arms overbearing on the back of the sofa, motioning opal to come and sit.

Opal looked out curiously and said, "there is no car here?"

"The maglev has a dedicated track, just above our heads. I'll ask someone to borrow a car. Now try their public transportation first, and show you around and experience civilian life," said Caroline

Opal sat down next to Colin and learned that he would put his arms on the back of the sofa. However, his hands were short and his feet were short. He could not get them up. He had to put his arms on Colin's shoulders and looked at him.

Colin looked at opal, as if amused by the look in his child's eyes.

Opal: what are we going to do

Colin:

opal laughed and asked in his mind:

during the communication, the countdown on the glass room returned to zero, the scenery outside changed, and two pieces of metal plates of versal color supporting the high-rise building rotated in a dislocation.

The glass room moves forward slowly and faster and faster. It shuttles through a pipe. The back wall changes into a milky white background, while the front wall presents a floor light screen to play entertainment programs.

Colin adjusted the playback mode to holography and then back to the plane. Opal rubbed his eyes and said, "the stereo looks dizzy."

"I feel the same way." Colin nodded approvingly and changed channels. Inside were riots on a small planet a few months ago.

"To a strange place." "If you want to know about the planet, you can read the local news first," Caroline said to opal

"I don't believe you didn't do enough homework before you came," opal said

"Of course, this is for you," said Colin

Opal watched the news for a while and began to be distracted. The things on it were not interested at all. The glass room would stop for a while and wait for other rooms to pass.

Colin knew he didn't understand, so he patiently explained to him.

"Their government follows the joint parliamentary system of the interstellar community 10000 years ago," crowling said

Opal saw a man talking on the news, surrounded by a ring of seats, and others quarrelling loudly, and asked, "what is this doing?"

"In listening to the budget, all the planets in the Republic have their own members, and each member represents one or more united planets and participates in the decision-making meetings of the central government," cololin said. Taxes are paid on the planet, and these taxes are pooled and used for public resource construction, military spending and so on. "

"What are they arguing about?" opal asked

Colin: "arguing about how to spend the money."

Opal asked again, "how should I spend it?"

Colin shrugged.

After listening for a while, opal understood a little more and said, "we are arguing about military spending."

"The man who is making the report is Bordeaux, and he represents a part of the forces, demanding an increase in military spending for the next year and the use of the Pantheon," said Caroline

Opal: what is the Pantheon

Colin: "a big aircraft carrier with enough weapons to destroy a galaxy."Opal: why use it

Colin: "want to attack the meteorite empire."

Opal:

"The king of meteorite empire is a big villain, so he must be exterminated Let me see. It should be a guy named Colin

"Is it true?" opal said anxiously

With that, opal looked at Caroline. He changed his platform and shook his feet. He said, "the representatives of the surrounding galaxies have asked for more funds to support the upcoming joint military action with the Empire. However, the representatives of the central galaxy of the galaxy think it is unnecessary. Why do you think this situation is happening?"

Colin looked at opal, which made opal a little nervous. He thought about it and said, "it should be Haven't hit them yet? "

Colin nodded and opal said, "the central planetary system of the galaxy is less threatened by the meteorite empire. So they want to save money. "

"That's one of the factors." Colin changed his station and added: "second, if there is a war, part of the Republic's rights must be transferred to the military to change the current situation. In addition, some of them do not want to start a war with history. Some people are still doing business with the forces of Caroline in private, and they will lose a lot of money in the war. "

Opal: "there are also people who are afraid of losing and being avenged by Colin."

Colin hum, continued to change channels, said: "the current trend is to use economic sanctions, let Colin suffer. Block all foreign trade including Nu Luoxing... "

the people who.

Opal: what is this

Colin: "fantasies, things for falling in love, with people you like."

Opal: do you have anyone you like

Colin nodded and looked at opal like a gentleman. Before opal asked, he laughed and said, "when you grow up, you can invite me. Is this the answer you're looking forward to? My apprentice. "

Opal's mouth twitched, and neither of them continued the topic.

Opal: what is this

Colin: "the vacation machine, connecting ideas to the terminal, can go on vacation in a virtual world."

Opal: what about this one

Colin: "a service of breeding offspring, using genes to find good mates to match."

Opal: what about this one

Colin: "Sixteen forms of deformable modular home service robots that can be turned into sofas, tables, bathrooms Wait. "

Opal: it looks heavy

In the picture, a huge cabinet walks awkwardly with people.

Colin: "it can also be used as a private car."

Opal: "this Oh, I see. It's a drink. "

"Concept ads are very happy to drink, but I think this kind of drink is really hard to drink."

"And this one?"

"Real estate advertising, spend 14 million credit points to buy a small planet, including simple decoration..."

"Why is that just 50000?"

"That's the virtual world, this is the real world, it's different."

“……”

Opal was a little confused. Colin casually said: "in fact, it's the same. Many people prefer to stay on the Republic controlled planets around the optical rotation grip. In addition to eating and sleeping, they spend the rest of their time connecting to the Internet, buying a network planet, planting flowers and harvesting vegetables on it. You can save a lot of money. "

Opal nodded, and the voice in the glass room indicated, "you have arrived at the destination, Xingfu street."

With one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding opal down, the lights on the street are flashing. It is at night that the whole block is well planned. The layout of each shop is similar, and the warm neon lights are on the door.

"Eat first." Colin went to a restaurant and sat down with Opal: "this is a poor neighborhood. I'll show you around, and I'll go to the rich area tomorrow. "

Opal looked curiously. The restaurant was as bright as day, and the desert scenery on the glass walls around it changed. The setting sun in the distance reflected the silk like sand and the blue sky.

Colin presses a button, and the glass wall removes the desert view to reveal the scene outside the street.

On the street, the style of clothes worn by pedestrians is very similar, only the difference of color and subtle places, everyone's expression is the same - numbness and coldness.

Opal began to feel a little uncomfortable here. People in the restaurant also ate their own meals, and occasionally had a whisper or two.

The robot waiter comes over. Caroline presses his finger on a small screen and clicks it out.Opal learned from him and pressed his finger.

"Don't you want to order?" Opal was a little confused.

Colin waved his hand, leaned back in his chair, and waited around his arms.

A few minutes later, the robot brought two large cups of milky white drinks. Opal tried to stir it with a straw. Colin motioned to him to drink, and opal drank a little.

"No other food?" After waiting for a long time, opal found that no new food had been served.

"No more." With a smile in his eyes, Colin drank up the glass with a straw in his mouth.

Opal drank a little more and said, "what is this?"

Colin presses a button at the table and calls for the robot. Opal searches the robot's information base.

"We just pressed our fingers." "Robots use tiny amounts of perspiration to detect the lack of nutrients in your body, and make this drink for everyone, vitamins, proteins, amino acids, cellulose and so on Mix the food in the best proportion for you to eat

Opal said, "this It's really good. It won't be malnourished, and it won't lead to obesity if you eat too much. "

Colin said, "everything's just right. Live a healthy life and live longer. "

The robot came again. This time it was food feedback. They pressed their fingerprints. According to the degree of absorption of customers, the robot served drinks again.

Opal: do they only eat this stuff every day? Nothing else to eat? "

"Of course, when you go home and connect your mind to the Internet, you can enjoy a variety of delicious food online. You can eat too much in the virtual world, and you won't get fat or have diarrhea," Caroline said

Opal felt that this model really subverted his world outlook.

"It saves natural resources, environmental protection and health." Colin laughed and said, "it meets everyone's needs again."

Opal: "it feels a little bit It's not very real. "

Colin: "real, 100% real."

Opal: "I mean it's all in the virtual world..."

Colin: "it's all the same to stimulate your central nervous system directly through your sense of taste."

Opal: it's not the same

Colin: the same thing

Opal: different

Colin: the same thing

Opal: Oh, same

The two people came out after dinner and walked on the road. Most of the people living in the happy area are poor people. They use the same memory cloth and wear simple clothing styles. There are almost no people in the block park. Only Colin and opal sit on the bench.

In the distance, the huge Val color plate moved again, with a steel building standing in the night, blocking the moon. Opal noticed that everyone here seemed different from the rest of the world.

The residents of the Republic seem to have shorter hands and feet, a little fat and a little short neck? The gap between the eyes is also a little narrow.

Opal looked at the passers-by, yawned and said, "where are you going now?"

Colin: "practice."

Do you want to kill? Opal became nervous involuntarily.

Colin looked at him a little strangely and said, "no, how could you have this idea? There are a lot of people here who practice what I've taught you. "

Colin said in the conscious world:

opal squinted and tried to exude the power of faith.

Colin:

opal:

corolin:

opal:

corolin:

corolin:

opal:

opal:

opal takes a deep breath, and in his consciousness, he says:

opal:

opal:

opal:

"

Colin made a concession to signal his start. Opal's heart thumped, and his faith spread out with his guidance.

Colin:

opal:

corolin:

opal:

corolin:

opal:

Colin gets up, opal follows. They walk along the long street, with Maglev cars flashing overhead. Countless people pass by. Opal starts to read everyone's inner world one after another.

There was a man sitting in the glass window looking at them numbly. Opal said, "teacher, that man wants to play fantasy with me."

Colin nodded and said, "the image of your child is very imaginative You need to protect yourself. "

Opal read the thought of another man, who wanted to hang him under the lampstand, stripped off his clothes and beat him.

Opal couldn't help but get angry. The man in the restaurant threw his drink all over.

Colin frowned and held out a hand to calm his restless mood. Some passers-by were wondering how to get more money. Others were upset. The work content was always repeated every day."Everyone has his own mind." "I seem to see your mental characteristics," cololin said

Opal nodded, and when he saw a man, he could not help reading his heart. He got almost all negative emotions.

"It can be seen that people here are not all happy." "Next we're going to change places, where the rich will be a little better," crowling whispered

They got on the bus and walked to another block. There was a big square with neon lights. There were many shops around. Opal looked at the display and furnishings through the window. A gentleman tried on the clothes in the shop.

Colin:

opal read his heart:

Colin:

opal said in his heart: buy, buy.

The customer hesitated a little, called the vending robot, took out the card, and pressed a few times on the light screen.

Colin:

opal thought silently: don't buy, don't buy.

The customer collected the card.

Colin:

opal breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Colin, and suddenly felt the joy of Colin, which was direct and strong, and instantly infected opal.

Corolin said:

opal's lips trembled slightly, and Caroline said:

opal released the power of faith. The customer hesitated for a moment, and suddenly ran out of the store. The robot inside sounded an alarm immediately. The security robot outside the store came and knocked him down.

The confusion attracted many customers and visitors, who turned their heads and took a cold look at the shop.

Colin said in opal's mind directly with his consciousness:

opal followed him through the commercial square. He felt that he was very excited and asked:

Colin:

opal relaxed and laughed. He didn't know what it meant, but he could feel that he was very satisfied with him, so he was very happy.

Colin looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

When the night of the source of floodlight came, Caroline took opal to a hotel. In the lobby, there were many strange non-human intelligent life bodies. A fish man with blue skin and fins and gills was lying in a vat full of sea water and talking to a round object beside him.

Colin put his hand on opal's shoulder:

opal was about to control the water blue star man to stand up from the fish tank. He stopped when he heard the words and asked in his mind:

Colin:

Opal and Colin crossed the ID card at the reception desk, and their names were displayed on the light screen.

Colin:

opal:

two people enter the vertical tube channel, which has numerous branches, and on both sides are honeycomb like individual rest rooms. Opal watched the tenants slide into the small passage and into the capsule like narrow space, and looked around, and found that each rest room can only accommodate one person.

Opal:

corolin:

opal:

corolin:

opal:

corolin:

the lifting platform stops at the top floor, and the machine voice says, "welcome to Mr. enmino from Irish star."

Colin opened the door with his fingerprint, and they entered the room. It was a very spacious suite. Opal finally arrived at the place where he felt more normal and sighed.

"You can talk freely here." Colin went to the wine cabinet to get drinks and said to opal, "the retro VIP Suite for alien guests is not set up by the government of the Republic."

"This planet is so strange, it's like a dead city," opal said

Colin went to the bathroom with his drink. A moment later, there was the sound of water. Opal heard his pee and couldn't help thinking. It was the first time that he lived in such a small space with Colin, as if he knew a different man.

"The development of Internet technology." Colin undressed in the bathroom in front of the mirror and said, "the human soul has gradually become accustomed to abandoning * * and roaming freely in the virtual world."

Opal thought of the inhabitants of the source of floodlight, whose food and shelter were almost all rationed in the most reasonable proportion. So they live in these capsule shaped spaces, too?

"Yes." "Come in and wash the teacher's clothes, and then take a set of memory cloth, and choose the right clothes for me," said Caroline in his thick voice

Opal goes into the bathroom, stands on tiptoe to take off the clothes on the shelf, and from the reflection of the mirror, he can see colouring's hazy, bare male body in the swirling water -- bronze skin, clean and strong ankles, slender legs, beautiful gluteus and dorsal muscles, broad shoulders, and a neck full of water droplets.

Perfect figure like Raymond.

Colin looked back and said, "go and choose clothes."

Opal blushed and nodded. He knew that his mind must be exposed to Caroline's mind reading all the time. He knew what he thought, so he thought openly.He ran back to the living room, pulled the chair, put a cushion on it, sat on the chair with his feet hanging in the air, opened the projection screen, and set the style of memory cloth.

"Choose a formal dress." Said Colin.

Opal chose a silver and white imitation moon cloth, and Caroline said, "underwear."

opal chose underwear and adjusted the proportions of Kolorin's identity card. After a while, the robot made a formal silver gray dress.

The sound of the water stopped in the bathroom. Caroline walked out of the bathroom naked. Opal was stiff and didn't dare to look back at him. He put on his vest and underwear and said, "human beings are also evolving. The citizens of the Republic you see are the shapes that have evolved into the virtual fantasy world for a long time. "

"So they have shorter hands and feet," opal said

Colin nodded, put a bottle of snowmelt on the coffee table and shook it toward opal, who took his dress and said, "now?"

"Tomorrow, when the sun comes out, I'm going out," Caroline waved

Opal yawned again. He felt that he was always sleepy and hungry, or the body of a child was not used to it. He always asked endless questions, which made him a little tired. The new environment was so strange that he was afraid. Fortunately, Colin was there, he felt like his only straw.

He was lying on the sofa, pillow Colin's thigh, felt his skin was very warm, and wanted to climb up to hold him, but not dare.

Colin reached out as he drank and patted him placidly on the back.

It's boring, opal thought.

He didn't dare to think of anything, especially the fantastic things.

"Think what you want to think about." Caroline chuckled.

Opal thought it was even more boring, but Colin said: "on this planet, as long as we use brain waves to connect with the galaxy for activities and entertainment, the whole process is monitored by the government, but many people don't know about it, and they don't want to know about it."

"Is this the evolutionary trend of human civilization?" opal said

Colin nodded approvingly and said, "why do you ask this question?"

Opal was a little confused. Colin explained: "the Republic is actually using mind reading. They monitor every citizen's thinking through virtual spiritual network, and make them inseparable from the illusory spiritual world. Therefore, all the psychological activities of people are under the control of the government, and unconsciously promote the slow evolution of the whole society towards" common knowledge. "

"What is common knowledge?" Asked opal.

"Common knowledge." Colin sipped the snow mountain wine and said, "it's the social form of the illusionists. You know what I think, and I know what you think. Every illusionist can know the thinking activities of other individuals. Absolute honesty, no fraud, no misunderstanding caused by language, and will not frame and compete with each other. "

"There is no right or wrong in the open and aboveboard confrontation. There is no need to persuade anyone to become an independent existence and survive without relying on other individuals and social relations..."

Opal was shocked.

"Is this really good?" opal frowned

Colin said, "what do you think? Maybe it will be the same in the future. When the soul breaks away from the bondage of the body and becomes a free and free individual of brain waves in the universe, just think about it. If one day in the future, everyone becomes a mirage and has the ability to read the hearts of others, what will happen to this society? "

Opal said, "yes It's going to be a mess, teacher! "

Colin: are you sure it's going to be a mess

Opal has been in chaos, and Caroline added: "illus do not need water, land, air and food, do not need shelter, nor do they need material conditions. Many of them have differences in cognition, and there is no absolute criterion for judging them. There is no need to form a unified concept because there is no need."

Opal thought for a long time and said, "what about love? Family, love, friendship and other things that make people feel good

"Nolan thinks that there are no more emotions in the mirage, and that emotions will inevitably fade in the course of evolution, but I think there are," said Caroline

Opal: what's the point of them living

Colin: "the pursuit of the truth of the universe, to find the meaning of their own existence."

Opal thought for a moment and said, "I think we should also have feelings, because organisms have evolved to have feelings and * *"

Colin nodded and laughed and said, "you're smart. Do single celled creatures have feelings? No, so the evolutionary history of human beings and all living things is a gradual transition from survival response to emotional needs. I have discussed this issue carefully with Nolan, and he thinks I am right. At the time of his birth, the illustrious race has completed the last step of evolution from biological to spiritual life, and history has been obliterated. By observing the history of human evolution for thousands of years, he has confirmed their fork in the road. "

Opal's thinking was in chaos and asked, "they Is spiritual life still human? "Colin took a drink and said, "what do you say?"

Opal added, "it doesn't seem to be the case with the mirage I know."

"It's just a small group. I'll explain it to you later when I have time," said Caroline

Opal asked, "is this what the phantom told you?"

Colin nodded and said, "it was Nolan who told me that he was the founder of the star knight, who built the sanctuary of secria and brought the mecha of the high dimensional universe."

"What is their world like?" opal said

"There's no detailed description, but the only thing we can tell is that they went into the dead end of evolution and finally died a lot. Nolan's father came to our world with magic blue fluorite and the whole race to the lower dimensions."

Opal said, "why perish?"

Colin said: "you can't understand it now. I'll tell you later. First look with your eyes and see the universe. I'll tell you my inference and conclusion, and try to question it. Just like this, you say 'no, teacher, what's wrong in this'. It's very good. What the teacher said is not necessarily right. One day you will understand it Form your own beliefs. "

They turned their heads and looked out of the window at the night scene of the Republic. From here, they could see the bright lights of the city, but not much popularity. Opal yawned again and fell asleep on Colin's lap.

After drinking alone for a while, Caroline carried him into the room and put him on the big bed. The lights went out and the room was silent.
