Chapter 231 Imperialism and Federalism
On Qin Yue's side, Yaoming Li's communication application has already arrived before the battlefield has been cleared.
"The top leaders of the Federation have agreed to our plan and are gathering the domestic Xingling Jade. It should be delivered within a day!" Yaoming Li said: "When we arrive at Kuangyuan Star, our Xingyao Federation will Launch an all-out attack to protect us in capturing Miningyuan Star!"
"Aren't you afraid that our strength will expand and we will destroy Xingyao later?" Qin Yue asked.
"How can we be your opponents?" Yaoming Li shook his head: "Furthermore, judging from your actions, your civilization should be busy upgrading technology, so how can we have time to occupy territory!"
Qin Yue nodded. Indeed, there are not many civilizations in the Star Sea that are keen on occupying territory.
Because one planet can host 30 to 40 billion people, and there are so many living planets in the sea of stars. The fact is that if you move all the people in reality to the sea of stars, the planets placed in the sea of stars will be sparse.
China, for example, has only 1.4 billion people, which seems like a lot. However, China currently has two star regions and nearly 120 living planets. Even if they are evenly distributed, there will only be 11.66 million people on one planet.
Tell me, why does China need such a large territory?
Why can China cede the Dark Island Star Area so easily?
First of all, we didn't do any substantive occupation of that star sector. We just sent people to take a look and planted a few national flags.
Secondly, no one was trying to develop it. Only tens of millions entered the Star Sea at that time. The two star areas discovered earlier were enough to be developed for hundreds of years. How could I have time to go to the dark island?
Furthermore, everyone believes that they can catch up with Valo in a few hundred years, and then take back the dark island, which will be a good idea.
There is another benefit to having the Dark Island Star Zone in the hands of Valo. Because of the resources of the Star Sea, the Chinese have become invincible on earth. The Chinese people generally have the mentality that I am the best in the world. In short, It's just a little drifting.
When a person drifts away, he loses the energy to work and has no interest in doing science. How can this be done?
For Wallow to do this, China has paid for a sector that does not hurt or itch, but what it has gained in return is the common hatred of all the people. Has it lost or gained?
This is obviously profitable
Valo is a special case, with a ridiculously large population, but that is because the galaxy they are in is somewhat special in reality. It is a dense area of galaxies. There are dozens of galaxies not far away, and they have also been developed by the Revelator civilization. With a large number of life planets and the mature experience of the previous Revelator civilization, they can accommodate a large population in a limited space.
The reason why everyone in the Star Sea is busy expanding their armies and preparing for war is mainly because of fear.
You know that you love peace and don’t want expansion, but you don’t know what other civilizations think. What if they like expansion?
So you have to expand your military and prepare for war.
And you are expanding your army and preparing for war. What do other civilizations think? Are you going to attack me? Do you want to conquer me? Do you want to be the overlord of the galaxy?
What? Is the idea of being the overlord of the galaxy stupid? But what if many villains in civilization have this ideal?
You said you can communicate with each other and exchange opinions?
Can you believe what I say? Can you believe it?
If I believe you, civilization might be gone!
That's too far.
In short, a civilization that can maintain peace is not an inferior civilization that cannot control its own destiny, but a civilization that has no opponents and can only focus on developing science and technology.
In Yaoming Li's view, Bai Ze's civilization should be this kind of civilization. What do you want the Star Federation's territory to map? ore? energy?
Who needs that when it's already level 3.5? I don't even bother to take a look at the emerald gold stuff in front of me. What's the use of it?
When we reach a level 4 civilization, as long as we have energy, why not build as many civilizations as we want?
Therefore, what a civilization of Baize's level is looking for is not ore and territory, but scientists and knowledge!
For example, Xingling Jade is a stone that contains knowledge. Of course, he doesn't know that this kind of thing is an information storage device left by previous civilizations. They really think that it is a naturally formed law.
This is how lower civilizations view the creations of higher civilizations. The Changsheng Vein, Baoluo Tianjue, and Lingji Crystal in Qin Yue's hands have always been regarded as fairy weapons by him.
Seeing Bai Ze's thoughtful look, Yaoming Li understood clearly. Although Bai Ze was smart, his status in their civilization should not be very high. If it was a military position, then he should be a school-level officer. , if it is a civilian, it should be a division-level cadre.
They all do specific things and have strong ability to do things, but because of their status, their vision is very narrow and their overall view is slightly poor.
Is this a problem?
No, on the contrary, this is an advantage!
Because of these two levels of people, he could make some suggestions and invest in advance. When Bai Ze grows up, they and the Starry Federation may benefit from it.
If the person is already a big boss, then there is no point in investing. Whatever you do now is what he should do.
So Yaoming Li talked a little more.
From the political system of the third-level civilization, to the military system, to the internal humanistic situation, to the management of the people, he not only took the Taiyao Empire and the Xingyao Federation as examples, but also the Taihua Shangming Empire, which was separated by a big black hole. How many things can I say?
"I haven't done statistics, but I think that among the third-level civilizations, the number of imperial systems must far exceed that of the federation, because as long as there is an outstanding emperor with a long life, he can lead the lower-level civilization to the higher level, and because of the centralization of power, the imperial system also You can concentrate the power of the whole country to make the country stronger!
But the federal system is different. Different civilized races are constantly attacking each other for their own interests. Many times, various systems are proposed for the sake of opposition.
It is not beneficial to the country, and it is not beneficial to the nation. If it were not for the enemy Taiyao Empire, I really can’t imagine what the Xingyao Federation would be like. I can be sure that if the Xingyao Federation defeats the Taiyao Empire in the future, then within three In the year, the Starry Star Federation itself will split. How many races there are now will split into as many countries in the future! Yaoming Li said.
Qin Yue nodded, this is true. If Brother Zheng is still alive, maybe Great Qin has become a third-level civilization by now?
It seems that the Star Star Federation will split up. It seems to be accurate. I remember that eight hundred years later, there will indeed be no two countries, Tai Yao and Star Star. It turns out that history has changed like this! "
"Are you very optimistic about the imperial system? But the sudden change of technology can easily lead to the instability of the emperor's position. For example, in a remote area, those rebels suddenly develop a super weapon that can kill the emperor. In order to reduce the Will this sudden change inhibit the development of domestic science and technology?" Qin Yue asked.
"This possibility exists, so I also said that there must be an excellent emperor who can gather the talents of the whole country to do big things. In this case, the talents of the whole country are in the hands of the emperor. Even if there is a leap in science and technology, it will only be It will be in the hands of the emperor, so what problems will arise!" Yaoming Li said.
Qin Yue nodded, this is true, if Brother Zheng
"However, the federal system is not without merit, as long as it is not like the Star Federation, where the major races balance each other. I recently learned about a small federal country called the Presbyterian Church. One of them is very powerful, and the other forces are weak. A pattern of one super power and multiple powers has been formed, causing all forces to listen to the larger force, and the president is also a talented person, and various systems are reducing the barriers between races. If this continues to develop, then this elder. It may become a country where countless races unite to fight for one country, and this country can grow rapidly with the help of the different bonuses brought by the different genes and talents of countless races." Yaoming Li continued,
"This Presbyterian Church is still very weak, but in it I see the future of the federal system."
"Huh?" Qin Yue was stunned, why did he praise me so well?
"Yeah, I'll go take a look when I have time." Qin Yue said perfunctorily.
"You should definitely check it out. In fact, I gave this civilization a lot of help and helped them withstand a lot of domestic pressure. Such interesting civilizations are actually very rare," Yaoming Li said with emotion.
Um?
I asked why our Presbyterian Church has expanded so much that no big country has come to attack it. I thought it was the result of the two countries trying to contain each other.
Didn't expect it was because of you?
If Brother Zheng could live for thousands of years, wouldn't the talents of later generations, such as Zhuge Liang and others, all be ministers of the Qin Dynasty?
Rushing to the stars is really exciting.
Will the next book be about the interstellar Qin?
