Chapter 226 The Swordsman

"The turnout rate used to be on the verge of 90%. It has only increased sharply in recent years to reach the current level, or it is only after the birth of the Star Alliance that the turnout rate has such a high rate."

"90.00% was very high in ancient times." Cheng Xin nodded and said, "But it's definitely not comparable to the present. This is really an unimaginable era."

"The reason for the surge is that the Starfleet once insisted on sending all the Star Destroyers to touch the water droplets without consulting the voters for the sake of face, which resulted in heavy losses."

"So in order to prevent the tragedy of the Doomsday War, most of the bills will now go to a referendum to prevent the political show of touching water droplets again." AI AA explained.

Although all human beings supported the reception of the water droplets at that time, after the Star Fleet was wiped out, people quickly blamed it on the top leaders of the three major fleets, scolding them for being stupid enough to believe that the Trisolaran probe is harmless.

Fortunately, people in this era have received higher education and can look at problems more rationally, thus avoiding a purge of the top three fleets.

"It's a very reasonable system that maximizes the advantages of super-informatization." Cheng Xin praised, "This is really a beautiful era. I never thought that humans would have this day."

"I thought you would think that this era lacks authority, but you actually like modern society?" Aa Aa asked curiously, she knew about Cheng Xin's past in World No. 2.

"In that era, there wasn't such an advanced Internet of Things, and there weren't so many high-quality publics. An authority was needed to guide everyone." Cheng Xin laughed.

"But the necessary authority is indispensable. Believe me, authority is always indispensable." Cheng Xin suddenly stared into Ai AA's eyes and said seriously.

"For example, now we are suddenly fighting with the Trisolarans. They use water droplets to attack the gravitational wave launcher, which can make human beings lose their deterrent capabilities in a very short period of time. At this time, it is too late to rely on a referendum to make a decision."

"So we have the sword bearer, which is the necessary authority, and she will act as a deterrent when the water droplets try to attack the gravitational wave emitter." AA explained.

"Sword bearer?" Cheng Xin asked curiously after hearing about this strange position, "They...he is responsible for manipulating the entire deterrent system?"

"That's right, the deterrence system is operated by the sword holder, and only the sword holder can operate the deterrence system. Only the sword holder can complete the whole process of deterrence." Ai AA explained.

"Don't we need nuclear strike review teams and multi-process inspections similar to those in ancient times?" Cheng Xin asked.

"It's too late, as you said, with the speed of water droplets, the gravitational wave transmitter can be destroyed within 15 minutes, and any redundant processing procedures are too bloated." Ai AA said.

"So who is the current sword-bearer?" Cheng Xin asked curiously. Being able to control the fate of the two worlds, this person must be the most ruthless person among ruthless people.

"Say, you should know who she is, right?" AA asked back.

"Marshal Say of the Solar System Fleet?" Cheng Xin guessed, probably not having the same name.

"Yes, she was the one who discovered the law of the dark forest and deterred the Trisolarans after the dark battle. She is my idol." Aa Aa said with admiration.

"The law of the dark forest?" Cheng Xin then searched the Internet, and found this shocking thing, that is, the universe is a dark forest, and countless hunters wander in it, preparing to attack the enemy.

Although human beings have not yet observed an instance of a dark forest attack, the horror of it can be seen just from the terrified attitude of the Trisolarans.

And if you think about it again, you will find that since the Trisolarans are so fearful, it means that their advanced technology can't resist the hunter's attack, and human beings are even more helpless in the face of this terrible attack.

It's hard to imagine how such a terrible law was discovered by Say. Before hibernating, Cheng Xin thought about the possibility of many human beings dealing with Trisolarans in the future.

But she really didn't expect this terrible strategic balance, and Cheng Xin felt horrified. The darkness of this universe is indeed unimaginable. Perhaps the Trisolaran civilization and the Human Federation represent the correct path.

Then Cheng Xin and Ai AA walked back, and several holographic information windows drifted around them on the road, and one of them caught Cheng Xin's attention.

First of all, it is because there is a man of AD on the screen, which is different from the handsome new human being. Like Cheng Xin, this man of AD is an old human who has not received gene editing in the embryonic stage.

In the picture, the man with a haggard face and disheveled hair clutches a laser pistol in a dark office with a portrait of himself on the wall.

But her eyes seem to be reflecting the morning light in the distant sky, they are very bright, and there is a line of subtitles below: "In her era, murder was punishable by death."

Cheng Xin felt that this person looked familiar, but when he looked closely, the picture disappeared, replaced by a young girl who was giving a speech, or because the new humans did not look old, Cheng Xin could only identify her as a young girl.

"Why was the death penalty committed in ancient times? The answer is because people were killed, but this is only one of the correct answers. There is another answer because too few people were killed."

"Killing one person is punishable by death, even more so for killing dozens of people. If you kill tens of thousands of people, you are a terrorist who deserves death."

"But if there are more, how many 10 people were killed? Of course, the death penalty should be imposed, but for those with some historical knowledge, this answer is not too sure."

"Going a step further, what if millions of people are killed? Then you can be sure that this person will not be sentenced to death, or even punished by law."

"If you don't believe me, just look at history. Those who killed more than a million people seemed to be called great men and heroes in ancient times. Going one step further, if one person killed hundreds of millions of people, then she would become the savior!"

"She's talking about Say. This should be a member of the Democratic United Association. They are a political party that has just been born on the earth in recent years. They have always set the trial of Say as their program." AA said.

"Why?" Cheng Xin asked curiously, she couldn't understand that a savior should be judged.

Ai AA was about to answer, when suddenly a sweet voice came from beside him: "Are you Cheng Xin?"

The voice surprised Cheng Xin, because it came from the information window on the road. The girl inside looked at Cheng Xin in surprise and pointed at her, saying that it was like seeing an old friend.

"You are the one who owns that distant world, ah, you are really good, you brought us all the beauty of that era, you are the only one who owns a world, and you can save this world, the public has high hopes for you!
