History of Human Space Exploitation

Chapter 36

一
Since the rebellion and independence caused by the reform based on ancient ideals more than 50 years ago, the frontier galaxies have been struggling and precarious for more than 20 years without the support of the industry and agriculture of the entire human society.Over the past 70 years, due to wars and mergers, and shortages of food and basic industrial products, the population of these regions has negatively grown from more than 100 billion people 5000 years ago to more than 800 billion people.This is the first time since the entire human race began to open up the universe.

The dozens of human societies located in the local galaxy cluster where the Milky Way is located, known as the inner circle of galaxies, have also experienced unprecedented great changes in the past hundred years.Due to social turmoil, political darkness, and attacks from some border galaxy tribes whose civilization has degenerated, a large number of consortiums, powerful families, and political families that originally lived in the border galaxy have gradually fled to the inhabited planets in the inner galaxy.

The frontier galaxies are suffering from the multiple blows of civilization degradation and material scarcity. Some planets even have transportation and trade that have almost stopped due to the decline in production. Fortunately, thanks to the more mature soilless three-dimensional cultivation and artificial fusion photosynthesis Only with support can we maintain the most basic food self-sufficiency.

Under such conditions, the most basic survival can still be maintained. Even when human beings have been scattered all over the universe, people still remember and praise the one who was born on September 1930, 9 and died on May 7. The great and immortal biologist, Mr. Yuan Longping who is known as the father of hybrid rice in the world.

Under such circumstances, tribal leaders such as She Ruben can ensure food production at the same time, and at the same time, use certain military means to gather several adjacent planets with resource endowments and production conditions that maintain the basic needs of society. under the same political entity.

Since the inner galaxies experienced more than 300 years of turmoil, although the industrial and agricultural foundations are far superior to those of the frontier galaxies, due to the serious annexation of planetary resources, and these annexers are mixed with groups with political power, this has caused conflicts. The irreversible structural damage of the entire society.In the opinion of many political scholars at the time, such a state would most likely lead to two outcomes.The first result is that the inner galaxies have gradually degenerated into the feudal system that has been extinct for thousands of years on the earth. The lords who occupy the planets have maintained a balance of power and de facto independence for a long time with or without co-lords.The second result is that in the short term, after the border galaxies have undergone more thorough social integration such as wars, there will be a regime that absolutely crushes military strength and is superior to the inner galaxies in terms of political ideas, directly breaking this state.What political scientists did not expect was that the reality turned to the third way.

The experience of growing up and the environment of the frontier galaxy created She Ruben's personality and political philosophy full of double-sidedness and contradictions.On the one hand, the frontier galaxies, which have been gradually alienated and out of touch with traditional human morals and values, have formed a spiritual core that looks wild and violent on the surface, but is full of creativity and pioneering spirit.On the other hand, he followed his grandfather, father, and uncle to visit and travel among the border stars since he was a child, which made him more sympathetic to the people.The combination of the two, together with She Ruben's unique understanding of human traditional culture, makes him different from other people who are only obsessed with thinking and solving problems immersed in the border culture itself.However, such contradictions and dualities have always been accompanied by She Ruben's life from prosperity to prosperity, from prosperity to the abyss of the universe.

For a hundred years, a large number of people with wealth and original status, but also burdened with heavy political traditions and wisdom, settled in the planets of the inner galaxies from the chaotic frontier galaxies through a number of slender star tunnels connecting the inner and outer human universes superior.These people, who originally possessed absolute prestige and ability in the entire human social and political circle, have naturally gained an outstanding status and power in this new environment that has begun to permeate the rotten atmosphere.The best among them was Chen Feng, and the Chen family of Dongyang Star that he represented in the era when She Ruben rose to the frontier stars.This is the third political line that is different from the two paths mentioned above.

Through nearly 20 years of military conquest and political annexation, She Rubin has mastered more than 70.00% of the inhabited planets and galaxies in the Virgo supercluster that humans have set foot on.The most recent victory was that he only used three years to completely conquer the Heng'an Military Group, which was the only one in the border galaxy that still had the strength to compete with him.After completely annexing the entire area controlled by Heng'an, Sheru Ben, as before, moved their important political and military leaders to his capital, Tianluo, and gave them a prominent position in the political entity under his rule.Such an approach has caused dissatisfaction among many people in his own military and political group. These dissatisfaction is not just out of jealousy of interests and status, but that such an approach will greatly weaken and dissolve their rule in the entire border galaxy group foundation.She Ruben has a different idea. He believes that if he is entrusted by history to reunify the entire human universe and let people regain the long-lost happiness, he, who lives among all human beings in the universe, must embrace him with the broadest heart. Rule all political forces, including enemies.At the same time, he believes that he needs to face and rule all the people under his rule with a fraternity that surpasses the ancients and the times.

Wanton

People who fled to the inner circle are generally divided into three parts.Prominent families like Chen Feng and the Chen family, or business owners or financial groups who brought production resources, technology, or capital, were naturally welcomed into the most comfortable planets in the inner galaxy group, and continued to live in these places. Living a life that is not much different from that in my hometown.And those refugees who have no power, no family support, no wealth, or even no skills, who came on old mineral or grain transport ships, because they are worried that the gathering will cause instability to the original stable life of the inner circle, they will It is arranged in two galaxies bordering the border far away from the core area of ​​the inner circle.They have honed their tenacity in the ups and downs, and they have been used to hard work in the long-term low-level life. They were trained to be respectable fighters on two planets that are similar to military fortress galaxies, where the Kamin index is seriously low.From the perspective of the political thought of the inner galaxy, they are only used as the price of their own flesh and blood and military service in exchange for the so-called living space and rights given to them by the princes in the core area of ​​the comfortable inner circle.These small groups or large-scale refugees are homeless, and they are naturally under the command of these gathered commanders.What these refugees don't know is that after a series of wars to "protect the environment and the people", they will finally stand at the top of the inner circle politics.

After achieving a series of decisive victories, and basically acquiring 90.00% of the border galaxy group and almost all node fortress star tunnels, the smug She Ruben hopes to fulfill his last ambition in his lifetime - to conquer the inner circle galaxy, and united all the human beings in the Virgo supercluster under his own rule.However, the turmoil in the past hundred years and the annexation wars in the past few decades have made people's livelihood miserable. The government he led has been tolerant of the conquered ethnic groups in recent years, and the political environment of the entire border galaxy group is full of undercurrents. risks of.Even Wang Meng, who She Ruben trusts the most, has followed him for nearly 30 years, and is the most intelligent and capable in his own camp, clearly opposes internal conquest.After Wang Meng's death, She Ruben no longer had absolutely rational and persuasive people around him, so he mobilized almost all the war potential of the frontier star clusters in 1351 of the Universal Era, and organized more than 200 million military and logistics personnel. , launched an internal conquest second only to that of the Eagle Emperor in history.At this time, he was like Ben, and even used a clear message to tell the inner political circle, including Chen Feng, who is actually the supreme leader, when the entire human universe is unified under his command, what position Chen Feng and others will have in the future government and official position.

Wu

The news of the internal invasion was naturally known to the inner circle government with an efficiency exceeding the speed of light. Chen Feng, who was elected by everyone at the time and had maintained the government's operation for more than ten years, and the Chen family he represented naturally assumed the responsibility of protecting the environment and the people.In the face of the sharp frontiers of the border galaxy group, which they call "barbarians", the inner circle political system that usually enjoys fighting for power, fighting for power, and infighting, but this time, under Chen Feng's painstaking persuasion and superb political tactics , forming a temporary consensus with the outside world.The exiles from the frontier galaxies who were divided into the Bairui Army Town galaxy and the Xifeng Army Town galaxy became the only military force that the inner circle had to rely on and defend their own regime at this time.And the frontline commander of the fight against the invasion this time is Chen Gan, the nephew of Chen Feng's family. .General Chen Gan led Yu Sheruben's army in the decisive battle, mainly the 700 million soldiers of the Bairui Army Town Galaxy.

Six Lu
This is a rare war in the more than 3000-year history of the development of the human universe. Neither the party that launched the invasion war nor the politically corrupt and absurd party that passively defended was criticized for its motives.The decisive battle took place on 1-91-37, known as Liujin's Star Tunnel, which is one of the 800 Star Tunnels connecting the inner and outer galaxies, one of the most strategically important ones.If the control of both ends of the Flowing Star Tunnel is obtained, the victor will be able to use the many planetary resources that have already had a rich foundation for [-] years at the front and rear ends of the Star Tunnel to launch further military operations, or rely on this to build a more impenetrable defense system.

The course of the war is roughly like this: in the early days, the frontier army faced the harassment of a small group of inner circle troops, and naturally won an easy and devastating victory.In addition to victory, while deciding that the military strength of the inner circle is only vulnerable to a blow, at the same time, without the support of its own star-level heavy weapons, it rushed to the star area where the Flowing Star Tunnel is located.

Under the command of Chen Gan, the Inner Circle Army passed through the Liujin Star Tunnel with 500 million soldiers at an extremely fast maneuvering speed, and defeated the 300 million Frontier Army forward troops in the Hengchuan Fortress with three-dimensional encirclement tactics.After hearing the news of the vanguard's defeat, She Rubi's naivety in politics and power tactics over the past ten years was immediately shown in the most realistic and cruel way-his army of more than 1000 million people, mostly in these years Among the conquered groups, the combat effectiveness, fighting will and technical level are very low.In addition, She Ruben allowed them to be integrated into their own army system instead of being reorganized. Even most of the surrendered troops have never been replaced by the commanders of the victorious side. When such an army encounters a major setback, a chain reaction will occur. One can imagine the defeat of...

Under the bad news of the defeat, the already unstable frontier galaxy group accelerated the division of itself that was already undercurrent.When the undercurrent turned into a monstrous wave, the ruling bond that was originally maintained by martial arts and his meager personal charm under She Ruben's constant conquest disappeared instantly.

In addition to the war, the efforts of these border area people who have been looked down upon and excluded from the mainstream political discourse power for nearly a thousand years to seize the supreme dominance of the human universe have failed again.However, in this effort, they have demonstrated a higher level, at least on the surface, a political philosophy that is more in line with the demands of most human beings, and an absolutely powerful mobilization and military command ability similar to that of the Eagle Emperor a hundred years ago.

The ideal of shooting like Ben, if it can be called an ideal, should be to appease this divided and violent universe with his fraternity and tolerance, so that the vibrant border people and the resilient inner circle people can be united in one place under his command.Judging from the research on that period of history by later generations, as well as the research on She Ruben himself, this warrior, ruler, gentle, and indecisive person full of yearning for traditional culture and social construction methods has great respect for the people under his rule. There seems to be a kind of innocent love that transcends politics and ethnic groups.However, he seems to have been hoping that this kind of love of his can be exported to the entire universe and at the same time receive universal feedback.This kind of love, if we use the words of a great thinker who has philosophy and practice all his life in ancient times, can be interpreted as universal love or a kind of fraternity.It's a pity that until he was defeated in Liujin, until he was murdered and died tragically after withdrawing from the capital, he didn't feel the "love" expressed to him by this malicious universe.
