Chapter 5. Parliament
But Lu Yu's words were different in the eyes of the woman: "Are you a survivor from a planet in the marginal area?"
As soon as these words were said, Lu Yu knew that he had been misunderstood and simply used the trick: "It seems that you know us very well."
The woman rolled up her tight lichen sleeves, revealing a tattoo with a sword-holding knight pattern, and asked proudly: "I know what this is?"
"What?" Lu Yu asked coldly. He really didn't know what this was. After all, it was much more difficult to pry open an advanced civilization than pry open an Aolu to make a civilization. Until now, he could not just catch someone to perform synesthesia.
"This is the badge of the Knights of Order. We are the most elite pilots in the entire league. We can always see us on the front battlefield.
Two days ago, I was fighting against the enemy on the front line. We defended a marginal planet and drove away the survivor battleship that was coming and attacking."
For those who have a strong desire to talk, Lu Yu only needs to guide him and let him continue to talk.
The woman's name is Man, and she is a pilot of the Knights of Order, which is an elite flying legion of the Planet Alliance.
The planet Alliance's army uses the fleet as the highest combat unit under its headquarters, and then the fleet controls various combat units.
Because many times, wars are not equal wars, compared with the technological level of the Planet Alliance, even if it makes the Planet Alliance very troublesome, it is actually difficult for enemies such as the survivor fleet of lower civilizations to really fight head-on with the fleet.
Therefore, most of the time the fleet's operations are actually carried out by subordinate Flying Legions and Marine Legions.
A common war between Star Leagues often occurs when you receive a warning and deploy Marine Corps or Flying Corps to planets that may be attacked. When the planet is really attacked, both attack and fight back against the enemy.
The advantage of such military operations is that they do not need to use too much resources from the fleet, and their defense effects are pretty good.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. This passive defense method is limited to planets that have been warned.
But the Planet Alliance has many enemies, such as Survivor Fleet, Hostile galaxy, etc., and the technology level is high and low.
For example, the warships of the Survivor Fleet are the horseshoe-shaped spacecraft that Lu Yu saw before. Their military strength cannot be underestimated, and they are even more elusive when acting. The accuracy of the early warning of Star Alliance can only reach 60%.
Therefore, many planets under the protection of the planet alliance still cannot avoid the fate of being attacked or even destroyed by the enemy.
Star Alliance has many enemies, and the most notorious ones are the Survivor Alliance and the R-galaxy civilization.
After many years of war and investigation, the former can basically be determined to be the product of the ancient civilization biotechnology, the ancestor of the Star Alliance humans. It evolved from a certain reptile animal. Their hostility towards the Star Alliance has a lot to do with their creations of the ancient civilization.
In the culture of the Alliance of Survivors, human beings are evil and the source of their suffering, so they want to destroy humans.
But they could not beat the powerful star couplet, so they quietly invaded the edge information, destroyed some low-level human civilizations to vent their anger before roaring the ball.
The r galaxy civilization is another galaxy civilization near the Star Alliance.
Xinglian has several galaxies under its jurisdiction, but this is not the case at the beginning. Now, Xinglian's sphere of influence has actually gradually expanded as Xinglian's technological level and strength improve.
When it reached two-thirds of its current scale, the Star Alliance's fleet began to collide with the R-galaxy civilization.
The Star Alliance civilization is a standard human civilization. Even people here do not know the existence of the earth. From the trajectory of civilization development and all aspects of social composition, the unique characteristics of human civilization can be seen.
Although the r-star civilizations are both carbon-based civilizations, no matter when they are related to ancient human civilizations, their fundamental biological characteristics make them naturally have a much higher demand for living space than humans.
That is, species of the R-star civilization reproduce directly through division. Split and reproduction may have various advantages and disadvantages, but for a civilization, the most profound impact is only one, that is, efficient and rapid reproduction will make its population expand at an extremely fast speed.
If the development of a civilization's wisdom and technology cannot keep up with the speed of its own population expansion, it will easily fall into crisis due to shortage of resources.
But the R-star civilization is lucky. They have opened the interstellar era all the way, and have the super ability to transform and adapt to the environment, constantly turning the planet outside the parent star into a new place of survival.
This adaptability is not an ordinary evaluation. For example, the human civilization of the Planet Alliance either has to develop itself on an already livable planet, or has to establish an artificial living environment under highly developed conditions, but in general, the efficiency of reproduction is not high.
The civilized species of R planet are different. They can survive well in an environment as rich as human planets. In those seemingly desolate planets, they can quickly evolve biological adaptability, and even extremely high radiation planets can survive and reproduce smoothly.
The super strong reproduction and adaptability make the r-star civilization highly respect the number of civilized populations. In their civilized experience, it is easier to do things in any case.
Therefore, after being exposed to human civilization, their first reaction is to colonize and integrate human beings into their own civilization.
Later, after the Star Alliance took action, they were still unwilling to accept it. Most of the military operations they carried out were plundering the population of human civilization.
The bad thing is that the R-star civilization has extremely high biotechnology. In order to integrate humans into their own ethnic groups, they actually fuse their genes and human genes to increase the diversity of survival.
In the absence of successfully occupying the planets protected by the Planet Alliance, the r galaxy civilization chose to directly plunder the population and capture humans from those planets for colonization of other planets.
It is hard to say that the technological level of r galaxy civilizations exceeds that of the Planet Alliance, but their technological routes are very different from those of humans, and they can be wrestled with humans to a certain extent.
Although they cannot steal the planet from the control of the Planet Alliance, it is difficult for the Planet Alliance to invade the hinterland of the R galaxy without gathering heavy troops.
Moreover, the r galaxy civilization is very flexible in strategy. It always gets benefits and runs when it gets a little loss in combat.
For an elite Allied pilot, fighting against the R-galaxy fleet and the Survivor fleet is common.
This group of tough pilots advocate glory, have a sense of mission of human race, dare to sacrifice themselves, and have absolutely strong physical functions and combat skills.
Especially the latter, after Lu Yu and Man left the bar and went to Man's residence, Lu Yu felt it particularly profoundly.
After ***, Lu Yu was still thinking about whether he had sex with a human girl or had sex with an alien girl.
Forget it, except for language, it is actually not much different from the Earth Girl...
It has to be said that life in Connery, the capital of the Planet Alliance, is indeed very comfortable. It retains various living habits of human beings on the planet. Technology is full of them but it will not disturb human life too much. In some aspects, it is more realistic than some technologies on the earth that use advertising as the primary productivity.
This is probably the welfare of an interstellar civilization? The driving force of social development comes from the abundance of productivity brought by the control of the interstellar society, rather than turning to the extreme, winning?
Man had just made a mission and didn't need to stay in the barracks. Her own residence was on the top of a two-hundred-story apartment.
Because Connery is a superspace station with a scale comparable to that of ordinary planets, Connery has been rotating continuously in order to maintain the gravity level of the space station. Because of the rotation, the "ground" inside the space station is actually ring-shaped.
This can be seen when you look at it, and you can even experience this tough beauty in the super high-rise building.
Perhaps taking care of Lu Yu's emotions, Man did not show curiosity about the civilization that Lu Yu came from. The female warrior had infinite experience. After making breakfast for Lu Yu himself, she began to touch Lu Yu again.
Lu Yu had no choice but to know everything he could know from Man, so he would rather get out quickly so that his companions would not be worried.
Just when Lu Yu was struggling, the door of the Man family was opened, and a man in the uniform of the Alliance Fleet walked in. The man, who was originally tired, twitched his lips when he saw Lu Yu and Man in disheveled clothes.
Lu Yu thought to himself that he really walked by the river often and was so wet his shoes. This time he was really embarrassed. After he went back, he must not let others know about his embarrassment.
But Man was not nervous at all and smiled and shouted, "Brother, have you returned early?!"
It turns out it's Man's brother...
The first meeting of the three was a little embarrassed, but when Lu Yu was introduced by Man as a survivor from the destroyed planet, Man's brother showed infinite sympathy.
"My name is Huo, and I am the mechanical chief of the Harlow. The situation in the nearest marginal area is really bad.
Our Harlow was originally carrying out an ore transportation operation. On the way to his destination, we encountered an R-galaxy fleet that was plundering the population, so we started fighting with them.
Although we killed them away, our Harlow was just an armed mining ship after all, and he had to come back for repairs.
The damage this time is a bit serious, I'm afraid the Harlow has to stay in the port for more than three months."
Huo arrived at the water himself and suddenly thought: "Speaking of this, the parliament is holding a discussion meeting on border civilization recently, and has also invited many survivors of border civilization? You have not been invited?"
"I'm just an irrelevant person." Lu Yu replied lightly.
Huo felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Then Lu Yu was pulled out to go shopping by Man.
Buy clothes, eat food, watch movies, soak in hot springs, and communicate with your soul...
Except for the changes in details due to technology, the operation seems to be no different from the urban life of ordinary humans on Earth.
After Man fell asleep tiredly at night, Lu Yu quietly left the brother and sister's home.
Although Connery has day and night, people's daily routines seem to be not bound by day and night.
Perhaps as the capital of a star civilization, it must be busy at any moment.
Lu Yu stood under a large screen, and recent news was broadcasting on it.
The king who was brought down from Toulon before was delivered a speech hysterically in the middle of the venue of the Planet Union Parliament.
I have to say that no matter what kind of civilized era, the charm of the orator seems to be so consistent. Even if I don’t understand his words, I can feel a kind of infectiousness from his every move, tone and rhyme.
The scale of the Alliance Parliament is really amazing. The entire parliamentary venue is like a super-large stadium, filled with parliamentary representatives from different planets, departments, fleets and different jobs.
When the king gave a very emotional speech, the venue was always very polite, and there were applause from time to time, which made Lu Yu sigh that he was worthy of being a highly developed star civilization.
However, when the poor foreigner begs for revenge for his fellow countrymen and then sits back to his seat and waits for everyone to react, the Council begins to show its essence.
First, a member of parliament walked onto the podium and began to talk with emotion about how pitiful the destruction and attacked marginal civilizations are. The original intention of the Planet Alliance is to protect these fires of civilizations created by humans. Now the parliament should allocate the budget to allow the Alliance fleet to avenge the destroyed civilizations, attack the Alliance's hostile forces, and bring permanent peace to the Alliance.
He wants to start a war, and one-quarter of the members of the alliance should support the war, and applause and cheers are constantly erupting under the rhythm of his speech, expressing their enthusiasm for the war.
However, after he delivered his speech, another MP came on stage and began to quote and use data to prove the advantages of the existing policies of the Planet Alliance, especially to expand and maintain the alliance fleet to defeat the two major enemies of the R Galaxy and the Survivor Alliance, the budget to be used will reach a hundred times the existing funds, and the benefits brought by marginal civilization to the Planet Alliance are almost zero except for humanities.
In order to defend the civilization of the marginal areas, the alliance has spent a lot of budgets. Maintaining the status quo is still balanced, but military force may drag down the already poor alliance economy and lead to disastrous consequences.
At least one-third of the members of the parliamentary field supported maintaining the status quo. They had not shown it when the war faction gave speeches before. Now that their representatives gave speeches, they expressed their opinions through higher cheers and more lasting applause.
At this time, some people from the war faction or the current situation faction couldn't help but throw things at the other party's people.
So cheers and applause began to turn into insults from tens of thousands of people, and even hand-to-hand combat broke out in sporadic areas.
Chapter completed!
