Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 550: My own life
The latest website: In the past forty years, as the prestige of the old government has fallen sharply, the first point of power lost is the so-called "right to speak." The media, representing different interest classes, robbed a large part of the right to speak.
"Escape to Victory! "—At least the news in various newspapers described it like this.
"We no longer need a dictatorship, we need a government that we voted for!"
After 40 years of explosive population, the population size of the new human civilization has grown to 90 million. With the increase in labor, the industrial strength of the entire civilization has increased by a large amount.
Of course, the labor force brought by such a high population has long since no longer needed to squeeze the people as in the past, and has now returned to normal working conditions.
However, whether it is due to actual factors or future factors, 90 million people are only temporary, and the vast majority of the population will leave in this "escape operation."
The second point of power lost, of course, is political power. Various political parties have emerged in an endless stream during the preparation time of more than 40 years. Recently, they have released their own political programs and portrayed the future in a bright and colorful way.
"Today is when we put power back into the hands of the people, that is, your hands. For a long time, the government has forced us to accomplish big goals, but has ignored the people’s pursuit of their own happiness, so that our personal lives Time is getting less and less..."
"This time the plan is a reasonable appeal from real citizens and an upright public. We will leave here and choose our own lives."
"During my long working hours, I often saw alcoholics paralyzed by the roadside. They used to have dreams of their own, but they don’t have dreams now. I have also seen the removal of the entire lung due to excessive smoking. People, they shouldn't be like this... We will end these dark phenomena in another world."
A party leader is giving a speech in front of the people, and there are waves of enthusiastic applause.
How envious the female captain saw this scene, she seemed to have never received such enthusiastic applause from the people.
For the current society, it is still a relatively democratic and open society, so voting in the hands of the people will be very important.
After discussion by the whole people, the previous one-party ruling system will also become a "multi-party ruling system." The original old party "New Civilization School" will no longer pursue these basic principles of leaving the crowd. They choose to be Here, the work of the planetary engine is completed silently.
So what happens in the future, the original officials will not be able to control, and these people who have left will make their own choices...
This is an unprecedented event. Although the original ruling party has squeezed the people for many years and caused a bit of anger and resentment, there is always a bit of social inertia after all these years. Many people are a little upset when they hear about it. chaos.
However, more people are excited and curious. The New Civilization School pursues "civilized progress", but some other parties pay more attention to people's livelihood, and some pay more attention to cultural construction. In short, it is better to change their taste.
What a fun and meaningful thing that people want political parties!
Democracy policies have both advantages and disadvantages. The ruling party is voted on. Everyone has made full use of their political rights and played the charm of so-called "freedom".
"It's really a smog...Where is there so much trouble! Isn't it good to pursue progress?"
Wang Haifeng sighed softly, looking at the large mothership overhead, ship after ship's population entered the Bright Galaxy.
He is an honest person, and he doesn't think it's good to be so noisy, but he can't tell any other reasons.
In short, Wang Haifeng would not choose to leave.
Even inside this large construction site that has accompanied him for a lifetime, there was an unusually impetuous atmosphere. The workers filled out their volunteers and discussed loudly, as if after escaping from this **** on earth, they would be able to go to a distant paradise... ...The real paradise!
Old people talked and laughed, and a few young people waited and hesitated. They just encountered this kind of thing when they started working, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Wang Haifeng patted a young man on the shoulder.
"Uncle Wang, won't you go?" the young man asked, "The older ones are gone."
Wang Haifeng shook his head: "Forget it, how about you?"
"I don't know..."
Yes, he doesn't know, most young people don't.
They were so confused. This happened right after graduation... It was fine in school, and it was like this after coming out.
"The people who stay here, we don’t think about it, but we will take the lead in building a shelter against neutron star collisions for you! Hope that in four hundred years, we will be able to reunite! You will see a strong Human civilization.” This was the slogan of the Industrial Coalition Party, and it began to draw votes for itself.
Industry is definitely going to do it, and shouting this slogan seems to be able to give a morally elegant explanation for his "deserting behavior".
Yeah, we just went to build a shelter in advance!
"We will go to that star field and develop another real battle star! In addition, we will also build a neutron star collision observation device..."
This is the political slogan of another party, the "Democracy Promotion Association". They actually want to develop another battle star!
Sooner or later, this battle star will be destroyed by the collision of the neutron star, and only when the battle star is developed at 1 light-year can it be truly preserved.
In people's minds, being forced to develop by hurried tasks, and enthusiastic self-development, seem to be two different things.
People hate long hours of overwork, not development battle stars.
The people who are leaving at present are actually very sensitive in their psychological emotions. People know that this big plan must be completed, both from the moral level and the entire civilization level.
Most people are unwilling to touch their behavior of being a deserter, so they must have a reasonable interface to comfort themselves.
In the beginning, the parties who were crazy to please the people and promised to "improve social welfare" and "reduce the retirement age", but not many people voted because they would appear to be "immoral and greedy for enjoyment."
These two "Industrial Coalition Parties" and "Democracy Promotion Association", which are most in line with public opinion, have gradually come to the fore and have already fought the final battle. It is hard to say who wins and who loses. The two sides debated with each other and criticized each other's political views.
In short, they have a full 300-year voyage to defeat each other.
This time the fleeing action not only affected the previous generation, but also the next generation.
There are some guys in their 50s or 60s who have just worked for more than a dozen years, and they also clamored that they have the right to leave. After these people applied for upwards, they were allowed to leave for an unprecedented period of time!
The most surprising thing is that among the small number of young people who are pursuing freedom, they have not driven more people~IndoMTL.com~ This also makes Wang Haifeng feel a bit weird...
Although the younger generation of young people below are very confused, what they have learned in school and what has happened in society have created huge contradictions. But there seems to be a faint support, the propaganda power of the old government, occupying all the clubs in the school. Some young people just watched these noisy people with cold eyes, as if they were watching a very strange joke.
At this moment, a voice rang in my ear, "Wang Haifeng, are you really not leaving?"
It’s the older sister in his small family: “Just make a report, it’s easy! The government’s approval this time is very lenient. If you continue to stay here and the population is drastically reduced, you will have to work for another 10 hours. It’s not as easy as it is now..."
"Forget it, I got used to it after doing it for so long. It won't matter if I have been working for a few years, I'm about to retire... You go, I won't go."
Wang Haifeng grinned, his thick hands and his sister hugged each other, and before he knew it, tears dripped down his eyes.
Parting is always a painful thing.
