Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 175: Forward Momentum

The development of the matter is far more complicated than imagined.

The current situation is not bad, but it seems to have deviated from the government's intention...

On this day, two good friends, Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao, got together again to brag and spank, this time at Zhao Chao's home.

In the four years after the explosion of the earth, although it was difficult and ups and downs, people lived a very fulfilling life. The two of them also started their own families. Zhao Chao even had a child, which was regarded as completing a major event in life.

These people were gathering together to have a sumptuous breakfast and reminisce about the old days.

Wang Zhiyuan held a spoon and kept teasing Zhao Chao's son. The little guy's name is Zhao Ting, and he has just turned one year old. This mixed-race child of yellow and white races is white, tender, chubby, and very cute.

Fifty thousand people from all over the world can completely guarantee genetic diversity and allow human civilization to continue to multiply. This will prevent the occurrence of genetic defects such as mental retardation after inbreeding...

The little guy stared straight at Wang Zhiyuan. Under the temptation of a little millet porridge, his mouth grew slightly, and a series of saliva flowed down. He wanted to grab it with his hands, but he couldn't reach the spoon.

"Wow, wow, wow!"

After being tempted for a long time but still unable to eat the millet porridge, Zhao Ting finally got angry, opened his mouth and screamed, which scared Wang Zhiyuan and quickly fed him a spoon into his mouth.

"A bit like you, a foodie." After teasing the child, Wang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Two women are busy in the kitchen, trying to make a sumptuous breakfast that combines Chinese and Western styles. Although their cooking skills are not very good, they are improving day by day...

Life is very comfortable!

As for the ingredients for the food - of course they are not obtained for free from the community, but... bought!

"What are the intentions of the new government?" Zhao Chao asked casually as he stretched out his hands to rescue his son from Wang Zhiyuan's clutches.

"It's hard to say, it's more complicated."

Wang Zhiyuan thought for a while: "Maybe he wants to build a more harmonious society. Maybe, I mean maybe... maybe it will succeed?"

His eyes looked into the distance and he thought of many things.

If you think about it carefully, the people aboard the Noah do have the basis for building a harmonious society: advanced technology, sufficient social productivity, and relatively high overall quality.

The current material poverty is entirely temporary and is caused by resource shortages. As long as people can encounter an Earth-like planet, they can leap into an era of extreme wealth in a short period of time.

This is something that all ordinary people know, so they generally think that a simple life is acceptable. In fact, due to the pressure of survival, people really don't have a particularly enjoyable life.

Could it be that the troubled new human civilization, which has experienced so many extinction crises, will collapse due to some internal reasons? He absolutely didn't believe it.

Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao chatted about the days a few years ago...

They were still on the moon when the explosion came suddenly. In particular, Calvin and others attacked government officials, and the death row prisoners rioted on a large scale. Within a few hours, the order in the base immediately collapsed. Everyone has experienced that kind of panic and chaos, and they never want to repeat that experience.

Later, when mankind experienced several devastating disasters: food crisis, moon-earth collision, Mars virus, solar explosion, etc., which one of them survived without relying on the spirit of unity? Just a moment of hesitation, a moment of sadness and fear, and humanity is doomed.

Only through unity can the entire civilization have higher cohesion and centripetal force, and can overcome more difficulties in a shorter period of time.

"Only by uniting can we go further." Zhao Chao said seriously while playing with his son.

The prosperity of a civilization is not just material wealth. Spiritual strength is sometimes even more important.

Thinking back then, the Qing Dynasty had the largest population, the most money and food, and the weapons and equipment were actually not bad. But why did it suffer repeated defeats and sign countless unequal treaties?

The key is that the national culture and spirit were corrupted from top to bottom. Ignorance, extreme hedonism, and opium completely broke the backbone of the nation, making the huge Qing Dynasty eventually become a hunting ground for imperialism.

Even though some experts in later generations painted over that era and found various reasons. But in fact, many small and backward countries in the world have still defeated the ambitions of imperialism by relying on the unity of the people. Before World War II, the small country of Finland relied on backward weapons and firm will to beat the big brother of the Soviet Union to a pulp, which fully demonstrated the importance of national spirit and unity.

Now, the new government wants to take this spirit of unity one step further and make the inside of the new human civilization an iron barrel.

"Since the government has this ambition, we should also cooperate a little bit, right?" Wang Zhiyuan said with a smile.

The people on the Noah ship are all elites with high IQs, and their knowledge cannot be compared with that of the wild men in the mountains. The high degree of openness of information has cultivated people's sufficient awareness of social participation. Most people want civilization as a whole to move to the next level.

Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao are not the only ones among them. The vast majority of people think decently and speculate on the government's intentions. In the current situation where the government's credibility is very high, most people are still willing to cooperate.

Robbery might happen in a rough and unruly environment, but the chance of it happening on the Noah is really low.

Firstly, this group of elite people cannot afford to lose this person; secondly, even if they rob him, how much can they rob? Do you still want to hang out from now on?

Thirdly, can’t you still buy things with new coins? In other words, "private ownership" has not been completely abolished. Although the materials are a bit expensive, it is enough to buy things. As long as you hold new coins, you can at least guarantee your survival and avoid large-scale looting...

Therefore, it is impossible for this group of elites to do anything that is beneath their status for a few "living necessities". Even if someone is greedy, they can only carefully restrain themselves because the current environment is like this.

How much was taken was recorded, and although it was not made public on the surface, the government knew it.

"The current situation is a bit like the previous New Harmony Commune... but it seems to be a little different?"

"At least people's thinking and social productivity are much higher than back then, and success is actually possible!"

"Yes!" Wang Zhiyuan nodded in agreement. Everyone is holding their breath now!

The driving force for the advancement of the entire society is the endless crises in the universe!

People did not have the slightest chance to relax. They had witnessed the power of interstellar civilization with their own eyes, and even fought against it. It had a great impact on everyone's mentality.

The starry sky is vast, and only when you have witnessed true power can you understand your own humbleness.

Humans were once at the top of the earth's food chain, and they happily served as the mountain kings of their own planet.

No one criticized or corrected them, as if they existed as intelligent creatures in the universe. People even fight among themselves and are in the mood to exploit each other.

But now, people have seen:

The earth is like an isolated island as big as gravel in the endless ocean. Human beings, the paramecia, are just kings and hegemons on the isolated island.

When people set sail and sail into the sea of ​​stars, people realize how vast the outside world is.

The starry sky is the kingdom of giants, and individual human beings are not even as good as an ant.

The internal struggle among human beings is like ants biting each other. I don’t know what the meaning is... Human beings must become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise, an ordinary fish can overturn the entire ship...
