Him and their stars

Well, Tan Jize is indeed a lawless person. In his previous life, he looked like a well-dressed and gentle civil servant, and he planned and organized many dirty jobs in person. But in this life... Yu Lian has never doubted that if he had not participated in the God of War Festival, this guy would have been able to rob prisons. Things happen.

But even so, after hearing that this guy had sneaked back into the empire, Yu Lian did feel that this development was a bit abstract. I remember that guy said to himself that he was trying to conduct a social survey or something.

...So, rioting in the empire's homeland is also part of the investigation?

All I can say is, it’s really worthy of you! Lao Tan. However, this is less like bravery and more like reckless action, which is not like you at all.

Yu Lian really started to worry about the other party. In his opinion, Tan Jize was a comrade who could handle all important matters. After all, Mr. Qi is almost seventy years old. Even in this era, he is far from young. If he really died one day, he would be the only one qualified to take care of all the funeral arrangements.

Now, there are many companions standing in a trench, including thousands of Pioneer Party members and Lionheart Club members, and there are also many buddies who are willing to fight and die alongside him.

But Yu Lian still firmly believes that Teacher Yang is really an anarchist disguised as a magician, with a bit of Lao Zhuang-style escapism and naivety. The seniors and the friends from the Class of 830 are all pure soldiers, even people like Mihir and Luo Zeshi who are good at military affairs.

Perhaps, if he were gone, only Tan Jize would be the most likely to carry the red flag.

If Lao Tan was really killed because he recklessly caused trouble in the empire, Yu Lian would really feel that he had lost a hundred Titans in one fell swoop. The kind of pain that life can't bear is enough to break one's heart.

Just when he was still struggling, he heard Stoker's follow-up addition:

"Brother Jize's letter said that he is ready to leave the Heeros sector. It is an ice ship built with a group of slaves. If everything goes well, he will be able to pass through the Feimo Nebula in a month or two. Entering the territory of the Cirke Kingdom."

"...With the slaves?"

"Together with the slaves, there are more than 100,000 people." Stoker nodded vigorously.

"Ice ship?"

"The ice ship. It was built by the slave workers in the glacier mining area of ​​the Helot Star Region."

"An ice ship carrying 100,000 people? Across space?"

Stoker also looked distressed: "It sounds incredible, right? He didn't go into too much detail in the letter. But, you know, he won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

After a brief thought, Yu Lian nodded slightly and said: "He really won't talk nonsense. To be honest, if this spaceship made of ice can save some important parts, such as the engine, the central transmission, and the stable bearing, Ah, something like that is certainly possible, right? Captain Busca?"

Busca, who was thinking, "Can I hear this? Should I find a reason to disappear or disguise myself as furniture?" suddenly shuddered and said quickly: "This should be possible. . If the habitability and practical life are not considered, there are still many materials that can be used to make spacecrafts, which are simply beyond most people’s imagination.”

He is not a professional shipbuilding technician, but he is indeed a professional mechanical engineer and metallurgical engineer, and his knowledge base in this area is above average.

"But, after all, it is made of ice, so there must be some precise considerations in the design. It would be great if such a designer could join the New China Shipyard." Busca pondered.

Although he was young, he was already a very responsible captain, which made Yu Lian feel even more moved.

"I'm actually quite curious. It would be nice if there were some detailed design drawings." Yu Lian looked at Stoker: "But, looking at you, he probably didn't explain it in detail in the letter, right?"

Seldy Stock continued to nod with a grimace.

In fact, Tan Jize did not explain his journey in too much detail, only a very brief anecdote. But even so, Yu Lian still felt the vitality of his old friend.

He took a smuggling boat to arrive at Feimo Nebula, stayed at the famous Jack Donkey Hanging Flag Hotel for a while, chatted and laughed with Mr. Xinghai Monster, who was also famous on the road, and then set up a traffic information station. Hosted by the smartest little Shui Gen and the most courageous little Gavroche among the "Lonely Night City Children".

Later, Tan Jize showed off his appearance as a "martial arts leader" and met with a group of anti-imperial rebel leaders to discuss major issues. Facts have proved that the operational efficiency of the rebel organizations is much higher than that of the formal legal government. In just three days of meetings, they discussed the mutual assistance and reciprocity of the various rebel armies, the transportation routes for obtaining external support, and the establishment of services outside the empire. We even discussed the possibility of establishing a joint association of all "primary color organizations".

Tan Jize even named this joint association that had not yet been formally established "People's Interstellar", which immediately reminded Yu Lian of "xx International".

Regarding this, the rebel organizations all expressed their joy. They were even willing to invite Mr. Tan Jize to be the executive secretary, and Mr. Qi and Yu Lian, who knew nothing about the matter, to be the honorary chairman and vice chairman, highlighting a simple rule.

In response, Yu Lian could only ponder for a while, and sighed: "I can only say that he is worthy of it..."

Busca, who was a loyal listener, was refreshed. He remembered that his good friend Babaru had also met Mr. Tan once, and compared him with him and admired him very much. Now it seems that he is indeed a man of great reputation!

Afterwards, Tan Jize continued to follow the famous smuggling ship Wannian Eagle and came to the Helots galaxy of the empire. He found a way to meet the slave leaders, and talked and laughed with everyone again, and then he had the escape plan of the ice spaceship.

The treatment of slaves in the Galactic Empire is indeed good. The nobles can even take out the expenditure data on the living treatment of slaves, make lists and PPT to laugh at the capitalists on the opposite side, but this is just a metaphysical concept of the median after all.

In fact, in the vast Galactic Empire, the slave class, which is regarded as human-shaped livestock or even property, has a specific number, although there is no detailed statistics, but it is conservatively estimated to be more than 500 billion, which is the second largest social class in the entire empire, almost twice the total population of the Blue Star Community. With such a large class, it is easy to imagine that if everyone lived like the black slaves in the "Gone with the Wind" in Yu Lian's previous life, the civilization of the universe would have been realized long ago.

So, there are always people who are struggling on the survival line and are eager to change; there are always people who don't want to be treated as livestock and hope to live upright; there are always people who have a deep hatred for the Galactic Empire and want to come to help at any time as long as they can make trouble for the Dragon Kings.

Of course, there must be excellent shipbuilding technicians among them, and there must be someone who can get important shipbuilding materials. Then, there was the escape plan of the ice spaceship.

Three days before the departure of the Ice Spaceship, Tan Jize handed a 100-page letter to Captain Hanford of the Ten Thousand Years Eagle, asking the latter to deliver the letter to New Shenzhou.

Captain Hanford is a well-known extravagant person in the underworld, and his character is even stronger than Libra Bank and Jialan Chamber of Commerce. Since he has been commissioned and paid, he will definitely do his best to deliver the letter.

As for why the source wave communication is not used, it is because the Helos star region is equivalent to the largest slave labor camp in the empire, and all the source wave transfer stations are controlled by the military. Once an instant communication across the galaxy occurs, it is easy to be discovered.

In addition, it is not realistic to use mystical means to go through the subspace.

This is probably because Yu Lian and the Seven Sons of Lingyan have given everyone too much misunderstanding, thinking that psychics take the virtual realm to overtake across the star sea, just like renting a shared bicycle, but this is not the case. For most psychics, the virtual realm is still an insurmountable, difficult to approach, and even indescribable restricted area.

Miss Chunjun certainly has some valuable props from her master, which can be used to communicate with the virtual world in an emergency, but they are used to save lives rather than send letters.

In this case, asking a reliable messenger like Captain Harford is of course the most cost-effective choice.

As for why the letter was sent to New Shenzhou instead of Yu Lian... After all, the Wannian Eagle is still a smuggling ship, and it would be inhumane to let them go directly to the Saide Fortress.

In short, if Tan Jize and his ice ship escape fleet had not died in the vast sea of ​​stars, they should have escaped from the border of the empire by now. As for where they fled to, the letter did not say, but it was nothing more than a few places such as Femo, Circe and Palladium.

After all, it is an ice ship. It is impossible to rush all the way to the alliance's territory by relying on this kind of ship. After all, you need to find a place to transfer to a proper spaceship.

If everything goes well, maybe in about a month, you can get news from the other party.

Yu Lian was silent for a few minutes longer this time, then bared his teeth and gave a thumbs up again: "What a spirited Davarish! I still think that the difficulty of him getting off the ice spaceship must be no less likely than being killed by the suppression troops lurking in the empire, but he actually felt relieved. This must be a serious illness, right?"

Stock muttered softly: "...If the rulers think that all of us are sick, then aren't we? Of course, you are indeed the source of the disease."

"It has to be you! I have many nicknames, but this "source of the ruler's disease" is too long, but it is particularly to my liking." Yu Lian was immediately satisfied.

The middle-aged leaders who are older like to chat and laugh with young employees the most, naturally because young people are smart and speak well. Although Yu Lian is not physically old, he has a serious illness in this regard psychologically.

As for Tan Jize's hundred-page letter, only less than ten pages describe his experiences during this period, and the rest of the content is naturally extremely rich. It includes the chaotic situation of the major forces in the Femor Nebula, the current situation of the rebel organizations in the empire, and the current situation and attitude of the non-human alien races in the empire.

According to Tan Jize's understanding, the reason why the former Ero Empire's territory, such as the Femor Nebula, has always been the source of unrest and terrorism in the entire galaxy is that it meets the needs of the two major camps.

During the 800 years since the beginning of the Common Calendar, the history of the Fermor Nebula has been like a large pot of hot pot cooking oil. Domineering heroes and overlords emerged one after another, but their reputations and achievements were nothing more than seasoning ingredients in the hot pot.

Now, according to preliminary statistics from the Standard Shipping Association, there are a total of 127 inhabited planets and 458 space cities with more than 10,000 people in the Fermor Nebula, but they belong to more than 600 forces, but none of them are official members of the Galactic Civilization Council. Of course, they can only be regarded as Turkish warlords and gangs.

The exact total population within the nebula is naturally impossible to count, but it should be in the range of one trillion.

However, most of them are immigrants from all over the galaxy after the beginning of the Common Era. As of now, there are less than two million natives of the Aero people left, and they are still under hostility and suppression by all major forces. Without the Eroian predators of the Galactic Center, this could almost be regarded as a civilized race that was about to be functionally extinct.

The chaos in the Feimo Nebula has actually lasted for more than 800 years. Everyone, even the local residents, feel that such days will continue for another 800 years.

As for why the population in such a chaotic star region continues to increase... this probably has to be asked about the Dark Ages of Europa and the magical Little Days and Warring States Period.

In any case, Feimo is a group of young stars with fertile land, abundant resources, important geographical location, convenient transportation, dense and stable waterways, and is the most obvious dividing point between the two camps.

Tan Jize believed that all the chaos was caused by the joint efforts of the Empire and the Alliance. And if we want to restore law and order to this starry sky, it is impossible to rely on warlords and gangs. At the same time, there must be a strong organization that organizes all the workers in the Feimo Nebula and establishes a new and powerful political power. Only then can it be possible to balance the two countries and ultimately allow the country to survive.

Of course, the premise is that both the Alliance and the Empire lose the power to change the Feimo Nebula for a period of time.

"This is similar to the setting of the community." Yu Liandao.

"However, Brother Jize also said that some emerging countries have really grown up in the cracks of power, while others have become power buses." Stock said.

"The community has not been reduced to a bus." Yu Lian smiled.

Of course, leaving the right and left to be independent is indeed a lot worse.

However, if Tan Jize's vision is fully realized, this country may become a workers' utopia.

Yu Lian finally figured it out: Tan Jize should think that compared to a community that is difficult to describe, the Fei Mo Nebula is more like a blank piece of paper that is easy to draw on? However, he clearly pointed out in his letter that the time was not ripe for establishing an organization, mobilizing the masses, or establishing a country.

He also pointed out that whether it is an inhuman race that suffers from structural discrimination or a slave class that has lost its basic human rights, the ruling class of the Galactic Empire is still full of illusions.

"I walked through twelve slave settlements in the Symoea and Helot sectors. The average working time of more than 80% of the slave workers is no less than 10 hours, and the average day off is only one day a month. For ten consecutive generations People will engage in mechanical and repetitive labor. However, they will be grateful for the physical examination and nutritional sugar provided by the owner, and will start a family and have children under the owner's arrangement. They feel that they will have stability and security at birth. This is also a blessing. Your majesty and the master’s kindness are endless.”

"The workers in the 12 Frozen Mining Areas of the Heeros Sector are willing to escape with me because they are the most miserable even among the huge slave class of the Galactic Empire. But even so, they are not willing to fight. Carved Ice Spaceship, escaping from the oppression of the empire is the limit of their resistance. "

The above is the original text of Tan Jize's letter, and has been expanded into a very detailed long report. He clearly pointed out that whether the "freedom" of the Union workers or the "stability" of the imperial slaves was essentially the same.

Yu Lian carefully read through the detailed report, which was more than eighty pages long, and was filled with admiration. He now really feels that if the book in Tan Jize's hand can be completed, it will definitely become the second Bible after "Yuan Lun".

"So, these reports are also part of his "Analysis of Problems of Various Classes in the Galaxy"?" Yu Lian asked curiously.

Stoker nodded: "In addition to my own job, I now have to help him organize these manuscripts."

"So, what does he think caused all this?" Yu Lian asked casually before he saw the end. Anyway, I am reading a report and not reading a novel, so there should be no spoilers.

Then, a very obvious struggle flashed across Seldy Stock's face. He was silent for several seconds, until Yu Lian looked at him doubtfully, and then he seemed to have made a great determination and said in a low voice: "The great power belongs to oneself."
