Chapter 675 Answers to Past Questions

"It's been a year without me noticing."

Sitting in the office on the third floor, Tilan touched the ring on her hand.

The newly transplanted cherry tree outside the window is growing well, with dark green branches and leaves. It will probably bear fruit next spring, but it is uncertain whether she can still see it.

This morning, Tilan suddenly felt that her ring was getting hot, as if there were ripples in the space of Aijaka. It seemed that the gray dust crystal had made some progress. If her position could be located in this way, a starship should arrive on this planet soon.

During this year, Tilan was busy running around in the first half, and worked hard to manage the Star Alliance and establish order in the second half. This process allowed Tilan to grow a lot, especially in terms of some management experience at the grassroots level.

She felt a sense of accomplishment watching an organization being built from scratch. If she were to return to the Federation now and establish a similar organization, it would be much easier. Unlike in the past, even if she had the talent of a singing girl to gain everyone's recognition, it was not achieved by her own hands, so it would always be somewhat unstable and incomplete.

This experience made Tilan more confident and her personality became more calm. She rarely has strange dreams when she sleeps now. In Themisia's words, the silly sister finally behaves a bit like her older sister.

In addition, her contact with a large number of new races allowed her to look at the current federation and many historical issues from another perspective.

There is no doubt that the establishment of the Rose Federation is a great revival and progress of human civilization. It is more powerful than any period of human civilization in the past six eras. The only ones that cannot be surpassed are the transcendents of the glorious era. The current technology can only be said to be partially ahead of the transcendent era, and many areas have not yet reached the height of that era.

Although the Rose Federation is progressive and great, is it really flawless? Not really. It still cannot escape many cyclical problems of history, as well as some shortcomings of human beings themselves.

The gap between the rich and the poor, social corruption and injustice, people's prejudice and selfishness, etc. still exist. To overcome them and advance human civilization again, unprecedented changes and progress are still needed.

Now, she saw in these new races another path that had been obscured by human civilization, that is, the sublimation of quality as civilized individuals.

When you want to blame others, please know that not everyone has the same advantages as you.

In various literary works, when describing the future of race and civilization, they always like to say that the goodness and evil of human beings will lead to certain consequences, or at the end of various arguments and battles, the destruction of everything makes the authors and readers fall into nothingness, because they cannot imagine a perfect society, everything will be corrupted, everything will be defeated by human greed and selfishness, etc.

This is actually a rather arrogant idea, even an invisible poison, which has permeated into various literary works. The specific description of this poison is that all success and failure are attributed to human morality, beliefs, and spiritual factors.

Because human nature is selfish and greedy, any great ideal will eventually fall to earth and any utopian world will collapse. Some creators like to create this kind of tragedy and claim to be smart, thinking that they are wise and have broken some unrealistic fantasies.

But afterwards, if you ask them to say what kind of society is ideal and what kind of future is perfect, they will hesitate, because they know that once they say it, they will be criticized for all kinds of faults, and this is what they like to do most.

Human will is not infinite. People need hope and beacons. They always criticize others for being unrealistic, but never think that they have nothing to begin with. Without goals and hope to support them, they will only be confused and rigid like zombies.

There is nothing wrong with fantasies about the future of civilization and yearning for an ideal society. It has actually promoted many changes invisibly. You can say that it is not perfect enough, but please don't slander those pioneers who are working hard.

Since blindly denying and attacking is wrong, then what is the basis for advocating an ideal society or even a utopian future? As many literary works say, human beings are unchangeably selfish and have animal instincts and bestiality.

'The pen that can write the answers has not yet appeared on the examination table.'

All success and failure cannot be attributed entirely to morality, spirit, and belief. This is ignorant and poisonous. However, for the sake of appeal, most literary creations choose them as the main core, saying "as long as we have enough faith, we will surely win~".

In fact, higher morality requires higher material foundation and physical conditions, which is something that many literary works avoid discussing.

Talking about morality to poor people on the verge of life and death, telling them that they should not steal even if they starve to death, is immoral in itself.

But if we talk about morality with people who have enough food and clothing, and have normal channels to work and live, and say that stealing is not allowed, then this is reasonable.

If we want to improve the level of enlightenment and morality of the entire civilization, we must provide everyone with a higher material basis and physical conditions.

Talking about the future order to someone who only has three days to live is completely different from talking about the future order to someone who has 300 years left to live.

The human lifespan is only a hundred years, half of which is spent as children and frail old age, and the essence is only the short twenty years from 20 to 40. This will undoubtedly make people anxious, because their lives are really limited, and their time is limited. Many choices are forced upon them, and they have to accomplish certain things at a certain age, which undoubtedly brings many problems.

If we want to build an ideal society, we must first improve the quality of all individuals in the civilization, ensure that they have adequate material security, and allow them to live longer. This will make it easier for them to choose long-termism, and morality will become beneficial to each other, because the efficiency of unity and cooperation is greater than fighting alone. When we have enough time, we can play without any scheming and feel happy.

If we want to solve the decline and corruption of civilization, it is not advisable to simply promote moral beliefs, nor is it acceptable to simply provide material things without education and guidance. Both are like overlapping spiral stairs, neither of which can be missing.

'The pen that can write the answers has not yet appeared on the examination table.'

The qualities of civilized individuals that are needed to build an ideal society have not yet been achieved. Even with two generations of color-level singers who have instilled lofty and beautiful beliefs into the Rose Federation, it is still difficult to conceal the corruption that has occurred over time.

Those who have not yet escaped from an anxious life have no energy left to build beautiful ideals.

The prerequisite for liberating the spirit is to liberate the material basis and physical limitations. If human lifespan is still only a hundred years, then many beautiful ideas will be empty talk, because many people are destined not to wait for that day, and naturally there will be no motivation to move towards that day.

Therefore, even if it means going against historical inertia and shouldering moral baggage, it is necessary to improve human genes and optimize all individual qualities and physical conditions.

Tilan could imagine how much opposition and accusations would arise if she really promoted this kind of thought and idea in the Federation, but the fact was that this was an unavoidable choice, but the humans of the Fifth Era went astray.

Can she steer the entire civilization and keep it moving in the right direction without going off course and losing control?
She looked out the window at the lush cherry tree.

If she didn't have the talent of a singer, or hadn't been discovered and raised, and was still just an ordinary girl, she would definitely not have such arrogant thoughts.

But there is no "if" in reality. We have to accept what happens and make a decision based on it.

She is no longer the weak and responsible child. Since she has such talent and is expected by countless people, why not follow her childhood dream and move forward bravely?

Tilan slowly closed her eyes, then opened them and continued to write her ideas and plans for the future on the pages in front of her.

She had to hurry up. Once the starship arrived to pick her up, she would be busy and wouldn't be able to take care of things here.

...Time passed quietly, and the weather gradually turned cooler from midsummer to cool September.

A burst of hurried horse hooves passed through the street and then stopped in front of the newly built town center. The dismounted people walked quickly in, and soon someone came to Tilan's office door and knocked.

"Come in." A familiar girl's voice sounded.

The member outside the door straightened his clothes, walked into the room, and saw the girl sitting behind the desk. She was wearing a black dress with white silk scarf flowers on her collar and cuffs. This dress slightly neutralized the girl's gentle temperament and made her look a bit majestic.

"Your Highness Heshia." The visitor knelt on one knee and began to report.

"We have received news from the far east. After the Iron Rat Kingdom discovered a certain ruin, it triggered an internal fight within the kingdom. During the war, one side released the mechanical bodies dormant in the ruins. After these mechanical bodies appeared, they began to kill any race they saw. Currently, the main force of the Iron Rat Kingdom has collapsed, and a large number of residents have fled in all directions. Many people have also migrated to our side."

"How many of them are there?"

"The Iron Rat Kingdom originally had nearly a million people, and currently there are nearly 100,000 people fleeing in our direction."

“Is that so…” Tilan tapped silently on the armrest with her fingers, thinking about how to deal with it.

“How long will our food supply last?”

"If it is only to supply the current 5000-plus permanent residents, it can last for two years, but if it is to support the disaster victims, it is totally insufficient."

"Let them continue to migrate westward. I remember that the Stone Sword Alliance on the grassland reported that they are currently carrying out water conservancy construction and are in great need of manpower."

"This should work." The reporter no longer raised any objections.

"Let's do it this way. You take people to notify the rangers on the grassland and have them prepare to guide and receive the personnel. As for those mechanical bodies that are chasing us, I have a way to deal with them."

"Also, is there any specific information about the ruins?" The girl showed some interest.

"It is said that it was a spaceship that crashed and was buried underground. It should be the troop transport ship of the Mechanical Council back then."

"Spaceship." Tilan thought of something.

"Since it can deploy troops across several star fields, it must have the ability to travel at superluminal speeds. Such a thing..." There must be many organizations interested in it. It is no wonder that the Iron Rat Kingdom would have internal strife. After all, this technology is too tempting.

"Looks like I have to go." She couldn't put all her hopes on the gray dust crystal, she had to think of a solution herself.

I hope that there won’t be any drastic changes in the Federation during this year. Blanche won at that time, so the changes had already happened, Tilan complained a little in her heart.

After returning to her residence, Tilan began to select assistants for her entourage, and Lololia was a must-have. With this artificial angel, she could ask her many questions about the ruins and the spacecraft. As for the others...

"I want to go. You can't leave me behind this time, Tilan." Ores spoke more and more fluently.

"I want to go and take a look, too." Celitia said that her knowledge could also come in handy.

"I really want to go and take a look, but I'm afraid I'll hold Heshia back." Sura turned the hammer in his hand.

"I will definitely go, even if Lady Heshia doesn't take me." Fran said that as a member of the Slami Association, he has the obligation to go to the front line to search for information about the ruins.

"I guess the Slami Association headquarters will also send someone over this time." After saying that, he thought about it.

"Maybe I'll meet a lot of familiar faces." Sura smiled.

"Where is Guy?" Tilan looked around curiously.

"He's been very busy at work lately." Because of Guy's past experience, he now serves as the city's commercial officer, responsible for coordinating and planning the conduct of various trades, maintaining price stability, etc.

"How about this, Fran, you and some other people follow up and don't get too close to the dangerous area. I will take Loloria, Celitia and the others to the center of the incident, and I will tell you if I find anything later." Considering that there are still a large number of mechanical bodies at the scene, Tilan may not be able to take care of everyone, so it is better to keep them away from the battle.

"I understand that and I won't force you." Fran nodded. He almost died at the hands of a mechanical body and knew how dangerous it was.

"In that case, let's start preparing and set off tomorrow." After everything was arranged, Tilan announced.

"Wait a minute, actually I know a group of rats, I mean the Mouse-Eared Tribe, they should be able to help." Celitia started, talking about a few Mouse-Eared Tribe members that she had gotten to know some time ago.

"It should be very convenient to have them as guides."

"In that case, let them pick two or three people to follow us, and the rest will stay with Fran and the others."

"Ok."

After the decision was made, the town began to operate. First, a notice was issued, informing people not to go to the dangerous areas in the east in the near future. In addition, preparations were made to store food to deal with the famine migration at the end of the year.

Unlike the Stone Sword Alliance that had just established order on the grassland, the Star Chaser Alliance here already had extremely high organization and discipline, so the execution of various orders was also extremely quick. Not only the town where Tilan was located, but also various settlements under the Star Chaser Alliance began to receive notifications.

The cavalry with messengers set out from here and headed for various scattered settlements. The tribal settlements far away on the banks of the great river in the west also began to receive the news and sent additional personnel to form patrol cavalry to deal with the impending attack.

The next day, facing the cool autumn breeze, Tilan and others boarded a small plane, which accelerated on the ground and then took off. The plane was completely controlled by a built-in mechanical core. After it was lifted off, it flew to the distance in the sky under the guidance of Loloria.
