Chapter 24 Rainey

Rui Ni watched Luo Ying leave, and returned to the meeting hall with Chenia and Sorin.The convention was still going on, and he left for an hour or so, with the agenda briefly moving forward. He took two children and sat down in his archivist observation seat. The automatically recorded image acquisition equipment was like a fish lurking in the deep sea, breathing in an imperceptible rhythm, gurgling under the waves of words.The two children sat behind him, looking around curiously.When he observed the two children, Chenia's face was cold, she bit her lip and looked at the stage, as if she still had some unpleasant emotions in her heart, which she only suppressed with perseverance.Thorin's face was much gentler and more worried. He looked at the stage with deep thoughts for a while, and stared at Chenia intently for a while.

The podium was illuminated with golden lights.The lights of the entire conference hall were on, and every audience member had gold trim shining on them. The corners of the podium and the microphones were bright, attracting everyone's attention.The dome light casts light cones from top to bottom, shining on the heads of the majestic and solemn bronze statues, giving each statue the appearance of a saint.Laser holographic projectors arranged from ten angles create lifelike scene effects in the center of the stage, broadcasting to every angle, and the buildings and landscapes are like real objects, creating a dreamlike and beautiful illusion in the three-dimensional and rich shapes.The small rostrum where the speaker is standing is the center of the light. The light is not very strong but very concentrated. The speaker is lifted in the center of the light from four directions, as if twinkling stars.The more than ten-meter-high sky dome usually casts sunlight, which is solemn and holy, and is very eye-catching, but at this time it seems to be completely dimmed. Although it is magnificent, it cannot compete with the dazzling lights on the stage.

The speaker was passionate, and it was hard not to be passionate in the midst of such attention.The one who was speaking was a famous elder of the He faction. Starting from history, he described the details that everyone knew or didn't know, how this desert city saved their entire race, and how this long history How different Ning's life is from the hardships of the past.He said that the peaceful leisure formed in such a city is the real spirit that Mars has established for itself, and it is the best environment to explore the truth, and it is Plato's garden under Mount Olympus. The natural environment that does not belong to oneself will eventually be punished by fate.His words resonated with many old people and conservatives, and every time he was interrupted by applause, there was a sublime feeling in the air when he talked about Plato's garden.

There are various actions in the audience.Some people are passionate on the stage, some are calm, some are still whispering and planning, ignoring the speeches on the stage, and some people are hurrying to and fro in the surrounding stands on the second floor, preparing for the next stage. Prepare your speech actively.The vast majority of people's attitudes were determined before they came here, and only a few MPs who were still hesitating in the middle were the targets that both parties wanted to win over.Rainey knew that the debate was formally a fair form of using proposals to win votes, but the actual result was accomplished by layers of deep-sea work outside the debate.Whenever he saw such a scene, he felt a sense of drama leading to the ending predicted by God.

Chenia listened attentively, with her hands lying on the back of the chair in the front seat, her head resting on her hands, and her eyes fixed on the stage.Her expression was thoughtful, and she would whisper to Rui Ni when she encountered unclear questions.In comparison, Sorin was not so attentive, and he was listening carefully, but he was not so much interested in the content as he was interested in what Chenia noticed.He stared at her with a little uneasiness between his brows. At this time, Lu Di came on stage.Lu Di was the penultimate speaker of the Mountain School.With his qualifications and engineering background, he could not have been ranked in such a low position, but Renee knew that Lu Di had grown very quickly.He heard that he was supported by many influential MPs in the Hill faction, including Richardson and Franz, who was known for being harsh. Rennie didn't know how Luddy did it, but he knew that he was very political on issues. capable.Now Lu Di is not only concerned with his own magnetic technology, but also responsible for the contact and communication between various laboratories of the Shanpai project.

Lu Di walked onto the stage and bowed to the audience in all directions to say hello.Then he turned sideways quietly, waiting for the holographic image to play a piece of visual data that had been prepared.He looked confident, smiling slightly, with blond hair brushed back.The image is a vibrant imagination of hillside houses and pulleys, with a clear sense of optimism and high morale. "Dear ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon." Waiting for the video to finally freeze, Lu Di cleared his throat and said with a smile, "It is my pleasure to introduce the last two parts of our project's overall plan today: transportation mode and economic reform.

"As you have just seen, in our valley migration plan, a freer and more convenient sliding car will be a major highlight. It is controlled by magnetic force, which is simple and fast, attached to the rocks, and slides along the carefully paved road. , not only can solve the most difficult problem of going up and down the mountain, but also can make everyone have the fun of driving. Its principle is not complicated, and the manufacturing process is also within the acceptable range. Please allow me to make a brief introduction .” As Lu Di said, he restarted the holographic display and called up a static image, which was a cross section of a hemispherical car with the bottom sticking to the road and a circuit hovering under the road.Lu Di began to explain, with a calm demeanor, fluent speech without any bumps, and the content has been carefully prepared, so it is not difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Rainey noticed Chenia's concentration.She clasped her hands tightly, her eyes looked at the stage, showing a mixed expression of suspicious scrutiny and sweet shyness. Occasionally, someone applauded Lu Di's speech, and she would show a frank and proud expression .Ludi's speech was excellent, with a firm tone and a power of persuasion. "In addition, I would like to introduce one of the biggest improvements brought about by our plan, the improvement of economic methods." After talking about technology, Lu Di changed the subject, "Technology is the background of life, while economy is the background of life." It is a way of life that is more closely related to people. In our current cities, housing is a part of the city as a whole, and everyone is a part of the city, without the right to choose their own territory. The main reason for this is technology. The current housing It uses glass-blowing technology of one-time integral molding, and it needs to be connected with the city, which requires the planning of the whole city. One person or an ordinary group cannot build it by itself, nor can it create other house styles by setting up a separate portal. big obstacle.

"Our valley plan puts forward our proposals for this problem. As you have just seen and what our dear Ms. Luke has just introduced to you, the caves in the valley plan are polished natural caves. Decoration materials can be selected and processed in a variety of ways, so we have the conditions to establish many studios related to house construction, so that everyone can freely choose and purchase materials, and can easily choose when they are not satisfied with the house and location. Exchange, to achieve real living autonomy." Hearing this, Rui Ni suddenly felt Chenia pat him on the arm.

"Dr. Rainey," her lips turned pale, "what does he mean?" Rainey looked at her and said, "I think he's talking about the housing market." "House free exchange?" "Yes." Renee nodded, "One of the major points of change." "Have they been planning this for a long time?" "It's not too long, it's just recently proposed." On the stage, Lu Di continued to draw exciting blueprints: "... If anyone doubts the meaning of this kind of autonomy, then I would like to ask you to look at this set of facts: According to incomplete statistics, since we implemented the housing equalization policy, There have been 315 complaints of dissatisfaction recorded in the database, an average of 31 per year. This does not include the cases in life that have not complained about grievances and dissatisfaction in the database. People should have the right to choose to build and change houses. is a basic freedom.

“Even teenagers realize this. Just today, a large group of passionate and social justice teenagers came together to advocate for this change, reflecting a very broad representation of the residents’ voices. Their voices point to the reform of the overall system and system, which is a strong driving force for us to improve the entire country. Dear Congressmen, let us listen to these voices, take advantage of this great migration opportunity, and boldly and decisively carry out new social reforms. This is of unparalleled importance to Mars, and to everyone." Chenia started to ask again, her voice was so soft that she could barely hear it: "Is he doing this to get votes?" Rennie looked at her disturbed face and said cautiously: "Just add an important reason." Chenia's hands trembled slightly, she sat on the chair with her back straight, and she could see the strong excitement propping her up from the inside of her body.She sat quietly, listening without saying a word, watching intently, and waiting stiffly.Thorin looked at her with some concern, and tried to talk to her, but she was deaf and didn't answer. She sat like this until Lu Di finished his speech, walked down from one side of the stage, and walked to the side aisle, then she stood up abruptly, rushed down the steps in a few steps, rushed to stand in front of Lu Di, and gave him A loud slap. The sound of slapping broke the air crisply. Many people were unprepared and let out low gasps in shock from the sound. Chenia didn't say anything, turned around and rushed out from the side door of the conference hall after finishing the call.Lu Di stood there in a daze, holding his cheek with his hand, and didn't respond for a while.Thorin got to his feet and ran down the steps too, following her out.Some people in the chamber noticed this intense scene and watched curiously, while some didn't notice, or were not interested in paying attention, and still lowered their heads.Rainey sighed in sympathy.This change happened extremely quickly, but it seemed to have been written in advance. Rainey could sense the reason for Chania's anger.Judging from her expression, she took Lu Di and everything before them very seriously.He had just seen the enthusiasm of the movement, so he could understand her mood at this moment.Before today, he had already heard about the strategy of the Shan faction, but he didn't expect that the demonstration was so solemn, and the children involved were so ignorant of the whole.He recalled the expression on Chenia's face when she ran out, her face was pale, with sad anger written on her face, a kind of pain after the conspiracy was revealed, and the damage to her self-esteem was imprinted on her always proud face, which made people feel very distressed. Lu Di was still standing there with a blue face, as if he was hesitating whether to chase after him or stay and continue listening to the meeting.His hands were still touching his hot cheeks, and his eyes were looking at the side door where Chenia ran out.He didn't seem to expect that Chenia was there, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with such a change.It can be seen that he is also very anxious, and his heart is also disturbed, probably Chenia is not an innocuous person to him.He hesitated for a while, took a step and stopped twice, as if he was struggling with himself.In the end, he still didn't go out, and sat down in an unobtrusive position on the side. Although he was watching the stage, he seemed quite absent-minded. Renee looked at his face from the back side, and could still vaguely recognize the shadow of the lively boy when he was a child from the lines of his face.The same tall blond hair, the same straight nose.It's just that from now on, Lu Di's face can no longer see the enthusiasm for adventure and curiosity that flowed out when he was a child, but more of a kind of control and personable demeanor.Rui Ni knew that he had been restrained slowly, but he still didn't realize it.He covered will with suitability, and bought ambition with freedom.The choice of people living in ambition is always unique, so there is no freedom. Rini sighed and turned his gaze back to the stage.He can see the boy's love and hate, but he can't and doesn't want to intervene.On the stage, the penultimate speaker of He Pai had finished most of his speech and was drawing to a close.Due to the moment of distraction, Rennie didn't hear the first half of his speech, and could only distinguish the general basic content, which roughly described the possibility of controlled cultivation of experimental organisms in the glass-covered channel of the river.The blueprint of the speaker is also very good, and the plan is also feasible, but the narration is quite mediocre, and it fails to mobilize the passionate imagination that should be mobilized in the hearts of the audience.He stepped down quickly, with little applause, and the people who had sat for a day began to get tired. At this time, Juan appeared.He is the last speaker of the Shan School, the finale.As soon as he appeared on the stage, he brought a bolt of lightning to the field.All sleepy people woke up. Rainey knew that Juan was always the most stern and powerful figure, as long as he appeared on the stage, it was impossible not to attract the attention of others.He is different from Lu Di's elegant demeanor, he always has a three-point swift and wild, unscrupulously let the powerful and compelling will burn in the audience.He is neither tall nor strong, and his short and fat body is more like a kitchen master, but when he speaks, when he gives orders in front of everyone with his unique hard and cold voice, he becomes a lightning-fast black panther, aggressive .He has served as the chief of the flight system for ten years. If it weren't for such personal strength, it would be impossible for him to convince all the ruthless generals under him. Juan's appearance at this moment is undoubtedly the most powerful trump card of the Shan faction.The flight system is the foundation of Mars construction. Without the acquisition of the flight system, many resources will be exhausted in a short time. Juan spoke directly, and the audience listened silently. "Our choice today is far more than a choice of living style. Our choice is related to the future of our entire race and the future of mankind. "We are already a race, no matter from the biological level or the spiritual level, we can already be called a race. Compared with the earth people, our bodies are taller, more vigorous, better at jumping and flying, and better able to endure the cold And heat, it can be said that we are the result of their evolution to a more perfect stage, we are a new kind of human beings. And from the perspective of spiritual wisdom, we are undoubtedly much superior to the earth people. Our race has accepted the sharing A race of civilization and art, we have a penetrating vision that extends to the edge of the universe and the end of time, and even the youngest child among us has a more macroscopic vision of the world than an adult on earth. We are living Human beings as a whole, while the earthlings have been broken into fragments after fragments in their self-divided world system, become short-sighted, and can no longer remember the noble value that they should have as a whole human being. We are human beings Successor, if we want to give our race a name, there is no more suitable name than human race. We are Martians, but we are the most orthodox descendants of humans. "What should human beings fear most? Is it a huge wind and rock? Cold and hot? Or struggle with hardship? Far from it! What human beings fear most should be decay and decline, the decline of all the powerful survival ability of human beings into cowardice, weakness and weakness A mess of mud! The people on earth are heading in this direction. They have become a bunch of wretched and timid obese patients, living and dreaming in the ever-increasing and endless desires, all senses are blinded by oil and anesthesia, and there is no more sublime .They regard a sudden idea as wisdom, and shamelessly resell wisdom. They no longer understand that wisdom is based on long-term exploration, and that great hearts are always eager to give and share. They also forget their planet, in the artificial landscape sinking, who know less than half as much about their own geological home as our ordinary inhabitants. They are descendants of a history that betrays us, and we are even ashamed to admit that we are from the same ancestors as them. Only in ourselves, not what now occupies the surface of the earth Only in the incompetent degenerates can we see the true bravery and arrogance of human beings! "Our mission is to bear the fate of mankind, which is a noble responsibility we cannot shirk. We are the forefront of mankind facing the universe, we have learned how to enter the unknown exploration, we have been trained in the harsh natural environment, we use The Tower of Babel has spun a storm of wisdom. In the foreseeable near future, we are about to enter the prologue chapter of a great drama, which is the self-propagation of human beings in the vast universe, a new era of great navigation .Human beings are destined to surpass themselves, and must also surpass themselves. Human beings must learn to survive in the new environment and adapt themselves to the new environment. All desolation and violence are now fierce beasts and future friends. Before people can tame them You can hibernate, but you can never surrender! "We have to go out no matter what, and hone ourselves in the harsh cold. We will live forever in the current city, and sooner or later we will become as decayed and degraded as the people on the earth. This is a great historical turning point, and the choice is ours. In your hand, whether you like it or not, the future will definitely come!" Juan talked on and on, without any visual aid.His voice is rough and impassioned, with a rumbling sound like a timpani, giving people an extraordinary shock at every crescendo.His body language is not much, his hands and body are tense, like a black balloon that may burst at any time. Rui Ni looked at Juan, and the sea in his heart began to slowly rise.His premonition of danger, which had been lurking for a long time, began to grow stronger.At last, he thought, the day is finally here. Rainey didn't know Juan well, but he knew his history.From a young age, Juan displayed a distinctively tough character.He is an orphan, but no day bears the heavy burden of it.He had kicked and cried hoarsely when his grandmother died, but had hardly shed tears since.He is not withdrawn, not inferior, not sentimental, and unwilling to accept help from others.He lived in the military camp of the flight system since he was a child, and he is more familiar with aircraft than land.He was sixteen when the war ended, and he refused to live anywhere but an airfield.All his life he was tough and a loner, keeping the soft and affable War Orphans Office at arm's length.He let no one help him, and seldom helped anyone except one, Hans.Hans was fourteen years older than him, the only person he could trust and rely on.No one knows how their friendship developed, but it is said that it was Hans who rescued him from his grandmother. Juan is a man with a clear distinction between likes and hates.There is no betrayal or tolerance in his lexicon.To love is to be faithful, to hate is to be unforgiving, and to remember what you owe and what others owe you is very different.He never forgave the Earthlings, who were the enemy despite Mars being the cause of the war. Rainey knew that this was what Hans had worried about for years.Hans has long been tired of power, but he has not abdicated for many years because he is worried that when he no longer presides over the work, an uncontrollable icy flame will break out from the depths of the calm sea and impact on the distant and unpredictable other. a world.This is the greatest danger on Mars.Hans could see it better than anyone else.This desire to conquer is a greater danger than any other petty ill.The problems in the system can be improved. The feedback of the database and the submission of proposals are quite complete. All that is needed is patience.But the desire to conquer is different. It is the greatest danger for a race that has no heaven, no other shore, and is strong enough to concentrate wisdom in this world. Such a race has cohesion and strength, but no hope of imagination, so it has no self-sufficiency. The pride of a person needs to prove himself with contrasting conquest.Hans has been worried about this matter for a long time. Martians are easier than anyone else to contribute, and they are also easier than anyone else to be moved and motivated by historical missions. The day is finally coming, Rainey thought, the day Hans has been wrestling with for so many years is finally coming. Hans came on stage.He was the last spokesperson of the River faction. Immediately after Juan appeared on the stage, he passed by Juan's resignation. He stood silently in the sea of ​​emotions of the audience that he had set off, like a ship slowly rising. The long-lurking black submarine.He looked calm, resolute and old, staring at the audience, as if staring at the other end of a long-written fate.The audience became quiet, and the applause began to subside, leaving only a few sparse ones. Hans didn't speak immediately.He stood silently for a moment, reached out and took off the eagle emblem worn on his shoulder, held it in the palm of his hand and signaled to the audience, then placed the two shiny golden goshawks in the center of the podium, raised his head , looked around the audience again. "First of all, I need to explain that as the governor, I am not qualified to participate in the debate of any party. I can only maintain the fairness of the entire political order and cannot support anyone in my personal capacity. But today I want to participate in the defense of the residency program. Express My personal opinion. Therefore, I will take off my Governor's badge in advance and give it to everyone for safekeeping. There is a new round of Governor's election in one month, and my term will expire, this time I will be considered as an early resignation." There was a slight uproar at the scene, and Hans didn't seem to notice it. "In addition to stating our urban development design today, I will also express our doubts about the other plan. In the comparison of the two plans, we believe that the current human level is not enough to cope with the survival of open space. "The urban design of the river scheme is not simply to copy the existing model, but to continuously develop new forms based on the current mature technology. With the water of Gushen and the controlled river, we will A series of distributed cities can be built along the river instead of the current only one. "In these new cities, we can try new models. Although still based on glass shells, we can develop various forms, and we can also try to connect with the earth for the first time. By that time, housing construction will not be Then controlled by a single studio and department, our technology is open, and there are bound to be many capable groups to learn and develop this technology, and at the same time get the support of fees. In the newly built cities, each city will have an independent operation The council decides the resource allocation and stable operation of the city by itself. The traffic between cities will be served by ground-effect aircraft. We have used this technology for many years and are completely reliable. Cities will be the basic unit of Mars in the future, and there will be a series of Cities prosper and grow, and each can have its own unique character. "More importantly, in these closed urban spaces on the plains, we can do more scientific experiments to allow the human body to adapt to the environment step by step, laying a more solid foundation for going out one day in the future. For example, low-pressure environments, low-pressure Oxygen environment and high-radiation environment, we can do long-term simulations in the laboratory for many years, until one day, the physical fitness of human beings is greatly mutated and improved, and we can confidently get out of the closed and enter nature. Evolution is a A long and unpredictable process, humans should be surpassed, but certainly not now." Rainey listened, remembering Hans' conversation with him the previous afternoon.At that time, Hans came to the archives, checked the materials himself, and then went to Rennie's lounge to drink tea quietly with him.At that moment, Hans looked rather worried. "Rani," Hans seemed to ask some irrelevant questions, "I don't know anything about insects, but I heard that insects can't grow very big, is it?" Hans sat opposite Rainey, his eyebrows covered his eyes, his voice was low, like a silent river.Rainey could see that Hans had aged.His face has chiseled lines, giving people a hard feeling like a stone statue.He didn't look old for thirty years, but the aging process was very fast.Behind Hans, the pendulum of the clock swayed gently, drawing traces of time. "Yes." Reney said, "Insects use their bodies to breathe, and if they grow too big, they will suffocate to death. The bones are on the surface of the body, and it is impossible to support a body that is too heavy." "What will happen if the body is forcibly expanded?" "It will split," Rainey said quietly. "Certainly?" asked Hans. "Will." Rainey often sees animals that get bigger and smaller in fantasy paintings, as if their actual size is just a coincidence and can be modified at will.But Rui Ni knew that this was not the case. The end of evolution was perfection like a violin, not even an inch or a cent.It's not that it can't be changed, but that change will always be worse than the status quo.This is a process of evolution on both sides, and organisms and the environment will eventually reach a harmony, just as birds choose nesting places, and nests choose the next generation of birds.Up to a certain height, choosing is balanced with being chosen.This is common sense that is often overlooked: the end of evolution is not extreme, but just right. Hans didn't ask for details. He held the cup with his hand and nodded after a long time. Those who are not familiar with him might think that he is hard of hearing.Rini poured him water again, and they sat with the pale green curtains occasionally blowing behind them. "So," Hans asked after a long time, "in your opinion, what is more important in the process of change?" "Slow," Rainey said, "I think it is." Renee could understand Hans' worry, but he didn't ask or mention it.They only speak gatha, playing charades of fate. Standing on the stage today, Hans was more emotionally fluctuating than the day before. Instead of thinking silently, he added inner surging emotions to his devotion, and his voice was a little more sad than usual.Perhaps he regarded this speech as the last monologue at the end of his 40-year political career. It was a difficult choice before Hans.He chose to support residency, not only for the house in Galeman, but also because of his distrust of blindly developing the living environment.Hans thought of his childhood, and thought of the warning his father had told him many times: impulsive boldness is often just recklessness.He remembers the almost survivable hunger and cold of his childhood, the early years of the war, when desperate rebels paid the price.Unable to compete for the earth's materials, and unable to make the barren bloom, the passionate rebellion almost caused the entire army to be wiped out, and it was difficult to maintain only by strong will and sporadic victories.Getting out of the valley is their first turning point, since then they can grow indoors, have air and warmth, and are one step closer to death.The first post-war years were almost as difficult, as they fought back not only the enemy but also their only source of supplies: the Earth transport ships.Since then, the struggle for resources has become a thing of the past, and everything has to be obtained from the desert, which is somehow impossible.It was many years of hard struggle, until the peace talks with the earth ended, and the material exchange entered orbit for the first time.After all of this, after all these years of witnessing death and painful memories, his instincts made him not believe in rushing out, he couldn't believe it.What they lack is too much, and it cannot be made up by will. "I would like to make a final question to the representatives of the valley plan." Hans looked straight at Juan in the audience, "Do you agree that the current human beings are still very fragile, if they have been trained in the experimental environment for more years, Will it be much more likely to succeed if you walk into an open space?" Juan didn't evade, stood up from the respondent's seat, and faced Hans with a straight and serious figure. "But there was no such water at that time." He replied firmly, "If the water is poured into the ancient river channel now, it will be impossible to collect all the water and drop it into the valley in the future, while maintaining a large area of ​​water and gas on the plain requires It is infinitely more difficult than in the basin, and it will be impossible for us to capture such a water-containing star by then, so if we miss this opportunity, we will never be able to shape the real open ecology on the planet!" Juan was aggressive, but Hans did not back down. "Then let me ask you again, where do all the necessary supplies come from in your blueprint?" "From ore. Our ore smelting technology has made great progress over the years. There is still room for development in the asteroid belt." "But you know, after all, not all materials can be obtained from our own smelting." "Most can." "No." Hans categorically denied, shaking his head with a trace of sadness, "You know this. Not to mention whether enough nitrogen needed to maintain atmospheric pressure can all come from smelting, just talk about the lightness necessary to build a rock wall house." It is impossible to extract all high-quality metals from Mars. Mars is very deficient in aluminum, magnesium, sodium and potassium, and what is sufficient is only heavy elements, which is difficult to meet the lightness and flexibility of your design. The material of the city on the ground is glass, which is the only thing we have. Infinitely sufficient, but you have to give up. You also hope to lay large-scale cables in the mountains and underground, but I want to ask, where are you going to get all the necessary insulators, plastics and rubbers, and all organic matter? Now we There is a small amount of rubber, and it will be exchanged from the earth, but if a valley is to be transformed on a large scale, how can the required materials be satisfied by these scattered pieces?" Juan was silent for a moment, and said, "These are details." "No!" Hans shouted loudly. Juan resisted with a longer silence. "Look at me." Hans said, "You're planning to plunder, aren't you?" Juan looked at Hans, still didn't speak. "right?!" Juan finally nodded: "Yes." "But that means war, don't you understand?" "No, I don't understand." Juan said as if extremely indifferent, "We only need a certain degree of control and deterrence, and asking them to pay is enough." "Impossible." Hans' old voice said with all his strength, "Don't you understand? It is impossible that there will be no resistance and exchange of fire, but there will definitely be years of confrontation that cannot be stopped." Juan still looked determined: "I don't think it's a big deal." "Haven't you suffered enough?" "Enough is enough," said Juan. "So get strong! We just want to go back and fight. We have the right to be strong, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Without us, the people of Earth will one day be Preoccupied with self-destruction. We are going to cut off those cowards and prevent human beings from corroding their souls in the oil soup of interests. The earth should welcome us!" "Nonsense!" Hans interrupted him angrily, his voice already hoarse, "These are just excuses! You can be powerful, but you have no right to take it away." "But we can't survive without fighting for it." "No one forces you to choose that way of life." Hans finally said clearly what was buried in his heart, "I will not allow war to happen. As long as I am in power, I will not allow such a thing to happen!" Hu became quiet, paused, pointed to the golden eagle on the podium, and said coldly: "But you have already abdicated." These words cut through the air like an awl, and there was no sound in the arena. This scene made Reni extremely painful to watch.He saw that Hans seemed to be very hard, leaning forward. When he was talking about excitement, he pressed his hands on the table, and his ten fingers were all spread out, full of strength. He could see the sadness in his heart, almost slightly trembling.This is the first time that Hans has shown his inner emotions in public, and I am afraid it will be the only time.His brows were tightly furrowed, his face showed erect muscles due to the exertion, and his eyes were bright under his gray eyebrows, expressing helpless pain and determination.This scene looked very tragic.Renee watched from a distance, feeling pain in his heart because of his powerlessness.He saw Hans wrestling with a fate that was bound to come.Hans had already expected it, but he still walked towards it step by step. Rainey knew why Hans was so persistent.When Hans was very young, his father Richard used to confess his impulsive behavior and the war it caused in the middle of the night.Richard was not a good war leader, he was pushed into that position, and he didn't like it.He was emotionally impacted, and he avenged his wife, but he didn't expect what happened later.He told the young Hans more than once that he didn't want to do this, and he didn't want to solve many problems like this.He cried many times late at night in front of Hans, who at the age of five wiped the tears from his face.Hans was born and raised on an airplane, he was not afraid of death, but the cries of many dead people became his nightmare in the middle of the night.When Richard finally passed away in his sixties, the only last wish left to Hans was to stop the war.Hans did everything in his power to make Mars independent, just to fulfill this last wish.He approved the departure of Ceres, also in order to avoid competing with the earth for water. Juan knew this, and had been dormant for many years.He is not a personal careerist.He has gone beyond that state.He is as loyal to his philosophy as he is to Hans who rescued him.Juan and Hans are the rare people who know each other well, but also the biggest rivals in the world.Whoever can understand that two parties who respect each other are often opponents of each other can understand the friendship and confrontation between the two of them over the years.胡安感念汉斯，多年一直听他的命令，而汉斯也因为胡安曾拼死忠诚于他，一直给了胡安他想要的自主权力。胡安并不软弱，他只是等待机会。汉斯也并不是傻瓜，但他知道，这是整个种族精神的危险，胡安不表达也总会有人表达。胡安一直渴望征服，汉斯明白这一点。但是他一相情愿地期望，只要克服眼前的困难，维持安好并独立生存，这征服的欲望就没那么强烈。从这一天的局势看来，汉斯终究错了，是人的欲望制造生活，而不是生活制造人的欲望。 瑞尼第一次感到旁观者的苦痛。在此之前的大大小小事件，他都可以置身事外，不挂怀于心。可是这一天他第一次为自己局外人的身份感到刺痛。身前的录像装置默默运转着，全方位将这一幕完完整整地录了下来，录得如此客观，客观得让人如此痛心。 就在这时，议事院大厅的门突然被一个人撞开了。大家的目光转过去，只见一个穿笔挺军服的上尉大步流星地走入大厅，沿台阶径直走到胡安跟前，俯身到他耳边耳语了几句，胡安脸色变了一变，又迅速恢复平常。上尉说完探询地看着，似乎在等一个批示。胡安犹豫了一下，看了一眼台上的汉斯。 “什么事？”汉斯问道。 “是系统内部的事。” "tell me." “只是琐碎的事。” “告诉我！”汉斯厉声喝道，“即便你不再承认我总督的身份，我也仍然是飞行系统终身长老。我有权过问系统内部的事！” 胡安沉吟了一下，镇静地说：“地球的两个水利专家坐飞机逃跑了。” "what?" “逃跑了。” "why?" “我们也不清楚。” “那还不赶紧去追？” “不必了。”胡安说得很冷，像是下定了决心，眯着眼睛，“我看不必了。”
