Chapter 282: Wise Civilization
“Human Civilization, from the beginning of ascending to space, to sending the first intelligent lifeform in their civilization into a satellite, took only 8 years!”
“This is impossible!”
“Don’t rush!”
Luo Er roughly interrupted the crowd who shouted out due to shock and loss of voice. His eyes revealed fanaticism, and his face was ferocious as he continued: “After that, they only took 50 years!
In 50 years, they stepped out to a rocky planet 500 million kilometers away from their home planet.
In a total of 58 years, Human Civilization only took 58 years to leap from the stage of just entering space to becoming a space civilization with the ability to colonize planets.
And what about us?
Our civilization took 300 years.”
“Prime Minister! Please tell us, how long did the Wise Civilization take to complete this stage!”
Luo Er turned with a fanatical expression toward Mai Si, whose face was full of dark clouds over there, and his voice suddenly increased.
Does Mai Si not know about this matter?
He definitely knows.
But why not say it?
This is a very intriguing question.
Everyone looked at these two. Luo Er’s fanaticism goes without saying. After hearing this news, they asked themselves, if the roles were reversed, they also couldn’t maintain a calm mindset.
But on the other side, Prime Minister Mai Si’s sudden silence made everyone somewhat dissatisfied.
Facing such a treasure civilization, and moreover a second level primary civilization that just joined the Galactic Alliance, shouldn’t they have declared war long ago?
Why drag it until now?
Prime Minister, what are you hiding?
Or does he have other ideas?
Facing the gazes of the crowd directed at him, Mai Si’s heart sank to the bottom.
Although he is the Prime Minister, and most high-ranking officials in the two major departments of the Ministry of War and Ministry of Revenue are all his confidants with blood relations.
But no matter what, if the Mai Si civilization can continue to sustain, or even have a chance to step into the level of third level civilization, then these people, even with shared interests with Mai Si, would choose to stand with the Imperial Family in this situation.
It’s still that principle: if possible, who would be willing to hand over the right to survival to the aliens of the Sirius Civilization.
The Imperial Family of the Hans Civilization, the Hans Family, has been passed down for thousands of years. Although there have been iron-blooded methods, they were mostly used against rebels during political changes.
For most of the time, the Hans Family actually stood on the same side as a group of high-ranking officials.
The Imperial Family’s autocracy allows these high officials to maintain their status as the ruling class.
Similarly, in return, these high officials will manage the vast nation well for the Imperial Family.
This principle was explained thoroughly by the Emperor at that time to a large group of high-ranking officials at the beginning of the first Industrial Revolution.
The relationship between the two is complementary to a certain extent.
But now, this Prime Minister who has been in power for 300 years actually shows signs of betraying this stable complementary relationship.
This inevitably makes everyone secretly vigilant.
“Prime Minister, answer Luo Er’s question.”
On the throne high above the platform, Hans Ming, who had been keeping silent, did not want to give Mai Si more time to think at this moment.
Today’s seed has been planted, and no matter what, for the future situation, he is already in a favorable position.
“Around 100 years. It has to be said, this is truly a civilization favored by the gods.”
Mai Si lowered his head and bowed in response. At this moment, no one could see clearly that his face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
A traitor appeared in the delegation heading to Human Civilization.
When did it happen?
He does not know now, but he must resolve the current predicament as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he lets His Majesty the Emperor and Luo Er from the Ministry of Personnel continue, he can hardly guarantee dragging the Hans Civilization to the stage of the Universal Referendum Act.
As one of the highly binding systems for civilizations in the Galactic Alliance, the Universal Referendum Act stipulates that in extreme situations, civilizations can conduct voting activities with universal participation to decide certain major matters of the civilization.
When this referendum act is carried out, the Galactic Alliance official will step in to guarantee absolute fairness and justice.
Once the voting result comes out, the Galactic Alliance will dispatch peacekeeping forces in an official capacity to ensure the voting result is smoothly implemented.
This is the confidence Mai Si has against the Imperial Family.
Once it reaches that point, he believes that in this ancient empire developed according to his will for 300 years, the people here will definitely vote for the ‘joining the Sirius Civilization’ side.
After all, among the ordinary people of the current Hans Civilization, taking mineral workers as an example, their working hours reach a terrifying over 6000 hours.
In a day, they spend 20 hours in the mine.
And in this work state, they need to go through a lifetime, and except for major matters involving civilization development such as marriage and childbirth, there is basically no vacation time.
And this slave-like life will definitely ensure victory for his choice in the vote.
In contrast, after joining the Sirius Civilization, he will adjust the working hours appropriately as the ruler, using it as bait to lure the ordinary people.
These are all his confidence.
After thinking, Mai Si lifted his aged face, scanned the crowd, and his eyes had unknowingly revealed a profound gaze.
“Your Majesty!”
He first slightly cupped his hands toward Hans Ming on the throne, then turned to the crowd and said:
“This old minister knows about this, but so what?”
His words instantly aroused doubts in everyone’s hearts.
What does ‘so what’ mean?
Could it be that even a primary Wise Civilization is not enough to arouse their attention?
You know, the Wise Civilization is a race in the Galactic Alliance that can guarantee entry into fourth level peak civilization.
It can be said that once mastering the Wise Civilization, that force absolutely obtains the key to steadily entering fourth level civilization.
Prime Minister Mai Si, what gives him the confidence to say that?
“Luo Er, how much do you know about the Sirius Civilization?”
Mai Si’s words were like a giant stone smashing into the meeting room, instantly cooling the previously somewhat heated atmosphere.
Yes, the Sirius Civilization, that third level civilization positioned as a warring civilization at the key crossroads of this star domain.
“Do you think the Sirius Civilization knows nothing about this?”
“Or do you think they are just afraid that we can drag it out for one or two hundred years, so they dispatch a Titan-class Battleship, delivering 5000 battleships into interstellar space, thereby stopping our expeditionary force?”
“Do you think this is possible?”
“Or, as a third level civilization, would they turn a blind eye to Human Civilization, which even we know might be a Wise Civilization?”
Mai Si’s brows were gloomy, and this speech instantly made everyone fall into thought.
