Chapter 794: The Voices of the Star Children

[167th test flight begins, data recording...]
……

[Qualified person 017 is in good condition and has passed the third stage assessment]
Half an hour later, Biaoxing walked out of the cockpit exhausted. He felt as if every muscle was softened, sore and weak. He could only take a few steps before he had to lean on the guardrail to catch his breath.

"Thank you for your hard work." The familiar seaweed-headed researcher appeared in front of him and handed him a bottle of nutritional and energy drink.

The cool and sweet liquid poured into his throat, and then spread the coolness to every part of his limbs and bones. This feeling made Biaoxing feel more clearly than ever before, the process of cells gradually being filled with energy.

After a short while, he stood up, finished the rest of the drink in one gulp, and then responded.

"Thanks."

"You have a very good physical foundation. You can still keep up with the pace after such high-intensity driving." The power of the test mecha has now reached the level of 3000 million mana power. For a Sequence 6 driver, this is close to the limit of human record.

“To go higher, you will need to advance to Sequence 7 to carry it.” Researcher Seaweed Head handed him the subsequent advancement plan.

"Six months of special tutoring, with multiple masters helping you analyze and sort out the key steps. Isn't it exciting? Haha." He pushed his glasses and sat on the same bench with Biaoxing.

"Huh." Biaoxing looked up at the starry sky outside the dome.

"I always feel very anxious." If it were a normal research experiment, the progress would not have to be rushed so much.

"You look big and like a simple and honest person, but you are actually very thoughtful." Seaweed Head turned his head to the side with a faint smile on his face.

"It seems that I can't hide it from you anymore. Yes, we do have reasons why we have to hurry. It's good for you to know it. For the sake of confidentiality, I will definitely not tell you the specific reasons." Seaweed Head shook his wrist.

"This has nothing to do with you. It's not a good thing to know too much."

"Yeah." Biao Xingye just asked casually. He was indeed not the kind of ambitious person.

The topic of their conversation gradually turned to daily life.

"So, you have a sister?" Researcher Seaweed Head asked with interest.

"Yes, she is still in high school. I don't know how she is doing in school. Every time I contact her, she is not willing to talk to me in detail about her life."

"Haha, that's what rebelliousness is like. She probably thinks you're annoying and can't understand her."

"Where is the rest of the family?"

……

"Are they all very ordinary?"

“It’s also a very happy family.” Researcher Seaweed Head sighed.

"…Just like many families in the Federation right now."

"Sometimes I feel that it's good to be an ordinary person and not have to worry about so many things." The seaweed-headed researcher remembered something and put his fingers on the recording board.

"Unfortunately, not everyone can live such a peaceful life..." He took off his glasses, wiped them and sighed.

"Someone has to take some responsibility, to look into the distance, to plan routes, to worry about possible dangers and disasters thousands of miles away... It is possible that everything we do will be in vain, but in order to avoid the tiny probability, we still have to make a lot of efforts."

“And such efforts, for a specific person, would probably take a lifetime.” He stood up and patted Biaoxing on the shoulder.

……

In the following months, apart from training and practice, there was nothing else in Biaoxing's schedule. Almost every minute and every second had to be squeezed out, and any small progress or slackness had to be treated with focused attention.

So, the time has finally come to advance.

"Are you ready? Many people are waiting for your good news today, but don't be too stressed. According to our conservative estimate, as long as you can be promoted within three times, you will not fall behind in progress." The Seaweed Head Researcher patted Biaoxing.

"Go ahead. This quiet room has been set up with the best ritual array, which can help you concentrate and clear your mind. There are rescue and treatment personnel waiting next to you. As long as you are not dead, you can be rescued."

"So, be bold and come on!" After saying the last sentence, he also laughed.

Biaoxing nodded, glanced at the group of professionals waiting outside the glass window, and his heart became stable and calm.

There is really nothing to worry about... he thought at this moment.

Although the subsequent promotion process was relatively difficult and bumpy at times, it was generally smooth sailing, so much so that after completing the Sequence 7 Extraordinary Core, Biaoxing felt as if he was dreaming.

Am I already at Sequence 7? This was a progress and achievement that he had never dared to imagine before. According to the estimates of his seniors and teachers, a person with his talent would be qualified to reach the Sequence 40 realm at around 50-7 years old. However, now, he was not even 30 years old, but he had already reached the destination that many people dreamed of.

As he walked out of the training and advancement room, the sound of fireworks rang out, and all kinds of ribbons and colorful flowers fell, covering his sweaty body.

Researcher Seaweed Head put down the firework in his hand and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Biaoxing." There were many other familiar colleagues beside him, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations."

"What a rare talent."

"Well, he is also a lucky guy of another kind."

"This will greatly advance the research progress."

"We should be able to have a nice dinner tonight."

"I told you, with so many resources piled on top of each other, there will definitely be results."

"Come on, let's take a photo together."

As they spoke, the group surrounded Biaoxing and took a commemorative photo.

In the following time, Biaoxing continued the test and development of the new mecha. As his body continued to adapt to this new mecha, various new training programs and tasks began to appear.

"What we are going to do today is to simulate surviving the battleship's gunfire." Researcher Seaweed Head projected the subject behind him.

"You are kidding." Biaoxing was of course aware of how terrifying the battleship's main gun was. It was not a laser with a diameter of several meters, but a massive particle torrent that could annihilate a mecha if it touched the edge.

"I'm not kidding. Come, watch a video." The Seaweed Head Researcher clapped his hands, and then the autonomous unit next to him projected another video.

In the picture, a white mecha was flying flexibly in the deep space. The strange trajectory showed its amazing speed and flexibility. Then the dazzling light of the battleship's main gun lit up. In the high-speed shot, the mecha instantly became hazy and blurred, submerged in the torrent of particles. However, after a few seconds, when the main gun went out, it reappeared in the deep space, still intact, with no signs of scratches on the surface.

Like a light and swift swift, such a shape and trajectory appeared on the heavy mecha about 60 meters high, giving people a strange visual impact. Even though Biaoxing had never fought with the ace pilot, he could clearly feel that this pilot's ability was far above his.

It would only take 10 seconds for the opponent to defeat him at close range. No, it should only take 6 seconds. He estimated in his mind how he would deal with it.

"Are you stunned? Haha, if I tell you that the person sitting in that mecha only trained for less than a year and reached such a level from a complete novice, would you still be surprised?" The seaweed-headed researcher turned the recording board with his fingers.

"Who is the other party?" Biao Xing was interested in the mysterious senior for the first time. It seemed that the other party was also driving the same type of test aircraft. "Keep it a secret. I'm not deliberately trying to keep you in suspense. Her identity is indeed very special." Seaweed Head shook his finger.

"Girls?" Biaoxing was surprised. After all, the average physical fitness of women is not as good as that of men.

"Well, she is very special." Seaweed Head did not continue to describe.

"You will know in the future. As long as you keep up with the progress and become a senior member of our institute, some secrets will be revealed to you."

"Okay, today's training plan is about to start again. I'll send you the information later. Remember to read it carefully in the evening."

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Central Star Region, headquarters of the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction.

Pulin sat on the black sofa with her legs crossed and raised. She was wearing a black and red tights, as if she had just stepped off a hoverbike. Although her figure could not be described as tall, her temperament made up for it well.

"The response from the Sigma Mechanical Council is very perfunctory." She threw aside the recording board displaying the information and spoke to the several officials waiting in front of her.

"Yes, the other party just responded according to the usual formula, without mentioning when the 'Sacred Relic Covenant' will be returned."

"These mechanical life forms probably think they are senior and look down on the Federation." Someone speculated in a low voice.

The lifespan of mechanical life is almost infinite, and many members of the Sigma Mechanical Council were born in the early days of the Federation.

"I don't know how much combat power the current Mechanical Council still has."

Speaking of this, many people at the scene thought about it. Originally, the "Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star" faction was not very interested in the holy relics. It was only because of Pulin's personal will that they began to collect them.

However, now there are two copies of the Holy Covenant in hand, only the last one is missing. If they can be put together to open the door to dialogue between humans and the will of Aijaka, the opportunities and great possibilities that can be brought about by this make many people excited.

No one would complain about more, and the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction, which is in its heyday, is even more confident. The economic growth in the past twenty years and the good social situation have made many people firmly believe that no difficulties can stop them, and no one can resist the unified Rose Federation.

"Send another letter to the Sigma Mechanical Council. This time, apply greater pressure to make them realize that we are not joking." Prin said.

"Also, let the Fifth Fleet start preparing. Regardless of whether it will actually be used, showing off muscle and strength will always make the other side judge more objectively and rationally."

"This..." A few people at the scene were hesitant. After all, the Sigmar Mechanical Council was not a small country like the White Melody, but a regime with a huge group of mechanical life forms. No one knew how many warships and military forces those mechanical life forms had reserved for possible galactic wars. Anyway, they were tireless and did not need to be paid.

"Your Highness..." Someone tried to dissuade Pulin Koko.

"You'd better do what I decide." This volcano singer has always been like this. It would be surprising if she became cautious and gentle.

"Yes." Some people could only sigh silently.

In the following six months, the Rose Federation's negotiations with the Sigma Mechanical Council ended in failure. The other party refused to return the holy object. This response finally angered the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction. From then on, the federal media began to make unfavorable remarks about the Mechanical Council.

Under the influence of such public opinion, many residents began to dislike groups they had never met before, and some even developed a certain jealousy.

"Even in the interstellar age, human lifespan is only a hundred years or so, but they can stay young forever." Reason tells them that this is the difference between biological beings and machines, but emotions are never rational.

……

Aijaka cyberspace, center of the Council of Seven Sages.

"Master Yinqing." A tiny point of light passed through the complex trajectory of the starry sky and came to the front of the silver mechanical doll in the center.

"I have something to report to you." This familiar voice reminded her of something.

"Go ahead."

'About the future of us, the Star Children, and stopping the Federation from going astray.'

"Yes, the federation is developing rapidly now and everything is good, but that doesn't mean it's right." The other party's voice was firm.

"The current prosperity is brought about by two new technological systems. The huge construction demand brought about by the new technologies has masked the past contradictions. This should have been a good opportunity to adjust the internal structure of the Federation, but Pulin did not do so."

"Everything she is doing now is a replay of history. When the prosperity of new technologies recedes, the behemoth under her will be the biggest cancer in the Federation."

"Because of the practice of the Fire Lotus-Star faction, all emerging companies and excellent ideas that are not from their faction will be acquired by them. In addition, they have monopolized almost all publicity channels and hold the key to the door leading to every resident of the Federation in this interstellar era."

"This means that anything residents see, buy, or touch is controlled and managed by them. Such strong jurisdiction brings an extremely stable structure, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to impact their status, which can bring many disadvantages."

“First, it stifles the birth of new ideas, making it impossible for many common people and up-and-coming talents to rise up, and greatly slowing down the progress of society’s overall technology and ideas.”

"Secondly, low efficiency and corruption arise because without competition, they can commit evil more recklessly and just sit there doing nothing."

"Third, their inflated self-confidence makes them unable to listen to any voices of improvement, which will lead to the significant rigidification and degeneration of the group as a leader of mankind."

Then, this voice gave many examples to illustrate his point.

The silver robot in the center did not hastily object to these flawed statements, but instead asked questions.

"Do you have a better idea about the future structure of the federation?" Even though the current system is not good, it is still the result of the game between countless generations of singers and politicians. The fact that it can maintain the framework of the federation shows that it is very feasible.

"Of course, we just need to follow the ideas of our Star Children and build a circular council with the neural consciousness network as the core. At that time, AI will aggregate all of our unconscious ideas and thoughts to form a new moral framework. And because of the popularity of the Aijaka cyberspace, everyone can participate in the real civilized decision-making." As he said this, his voice was full of enthusiasm and yearning.

“But how do you ensure that each member has the qualifications and sense of responsibility to make decisions?”

"When a decision is made by everyone, it also means that no one will be held responsible for it, and everyone can shirk responsibility." The Yinqing puppet shook his head.

"Compared with a hundred children who have never swum in the water and a fisherman who has been fishing at sea for years, even though the latter has fewer people, he can better judge the calmness of the wind and waves and where to catch big fish."

“Decision-making is a skill that is in great demand. Most people are amateurs. If we rely entirely on the vote of all members, the leader who comes to power will definitely be the most attention-grabbing rapper, not a real doer.”

"Prinkoko may be a bit arrogant, but she is still a leader at the top level. We cannot tear the alliance apart easily." At this point, the silver mechanical puppet once again rejected the other party's proposal.

After hanging up the communication, the puppet, who had been operating as precisely as a machine, temporarily stopped the endless tasks in his hands.

This is the nth time she has received similar suggestions and applications. There are many Star Sons who are dissatisfied with Pulin. The only difference is the degree of dissatisfaction. Very few Star Sons really like Pulin.

The other party's personality and philosophy of doing things are different from the values ​​of the Star Sons. Abandoning overly strong dictators and jointly sorting out and handling government affairs with expert groups is the federal framework that the Star Sons really want. However, Pulin is going further and further on the road of centralization, which disappoints many Star Sons.

What they wanted was not the position of foil and tool. As another part of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction, although the name of the faction brought together the symbols of both parties, the Children of the Stars had always had little say in the actual implementation of policies.

This insignificance was acceptable in the initial stages of cooperation, but as the Star Children Alliance expanded and became stronger over the past 20 years, many people began to become dissatisfied with this position.

"We should take the power that belongs to us, so that everyone can understand that the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction is not only the blazing fire lotus, but also the many twinkling stars."

Such thoughts and ideas spread silently among the Star Children Alliance. They are the technical elites of many universities, research institutes, giant companies, etc. Until one day, these hidden underwater voices collided with each other, causing upheaval in the ocean.

"Time will eventually answer our prayers."

Leaning on the bench in the sky corridor, the Seaweed Head researcher gazed at the starry sky above.
