Chapter 588: New contradictions in the primary stage of stellar civilization

Now people on Earth are caring about the complete victory of this cross-galaxy expedition. Although they feel sorry for not being able to see Li Chuan, the commander of this hero, when we welcome the triumphant return of the expedition, the joy of relief and victory cannot be concealed.

After the United Army officials explained the reasons for this, people were all respectful, and Li Chuan's reputation among all mankind continued to soar.

This expedition is just a trial of human civilization. Li Chuan is not very proud of it. Compared with the vast universe, even the huge Milky Way is just a small boat. If the known universe is compared to a giant, even the entire solar system may be just an insignificant cell, and human civilization is even worse than viruses.

It may be the greatest praise to say that humans are tiny insects in the universe.

The more you know, the less you know. This universe is both magnificent and gorgeous, and full of dangers, making it irresistible to tempt it.

After returning to Earth, Li Chuan handed over the command of the fleet to the Space Military Commission. Although his superiors had the intention to deliver the future of mankind to himself, it was still a long time ago. Being able to maintain the status quo is what Li Chuan wanted to see the most. Compared with things like internal governance civilization, he obviously would rather be an explorer and pioneer in the era of the universe and continuously expand the living space of human civilization in the universe.

Two days later, the Space Military Commissioner Headquarters.

At the Oval Table meeting, the twelve giants gathered together. The veteran General Zhao Zhuo said with a smile: "The expedition commanded by Comrade Li Chuan is very beautiful. I just said that Zhao She, who collects taxes, can lead troops to fight and defeat the strong Qin. Why can't strategic scientists lead troops to defeat the alien enemies?"

Li Chuan also laughed and said, "Old Zhao, Pan Technology is my main business, and fighting is just a temporary side job. In terms of professionalism, it is naturally not as good as everyone here. If it were General Jian to command, it would be impossible to lose tens of thousands of marine troops."

Jian Botao shook his head and stopped, saying, "The starting point is different, how can we compare? The process of war is not important, the result is the most important, and the result is that you win. As for the greatest significance of the process, it is to summarize the experience and lessons learned."

Soon, the meeting came to the point, and General Zhao said: "It happened that when the Expeditionary Force returned in triumph, all the starships of the First Fleet, including the main combat cruisers, had been officially put into service, and the complete First Fleet was just in shape."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhuo changed his mind, "But, the first fleet has fully met the existing military needs and has to establish a second fleet. Is the third fleet a little unnecessary and wasteful of resources?"

Not to mention the overall combat effectiveness of the First Fleet, even if it is the absolute main force, a battleship cruiser can destroy the entire Earth's military power.

This is the same as the historical maritime civilization that can defeat farming civilization and nomadic civilization. Back then, the British only needed a few bars to pry open the door to the Eastern world, and the war losses between the two sides were completely disproportionate. As a symbol of star-level civilization, it was inevitable to defeat planetary civilization.

The key is that building a space fleet is almost a devourable force, accounting for more than 70% of the current total GDP of human beings. This was incredible in the past. The release of productivity brought about by the fourth scientific and technological revolution has been devoted to the space fleet. Military expenditure accounts for such a huge proportion. This cannot be described as a reasonable description if it was in the past when military force was imposing military force.

Li Chuan took a negative attitude towards this and immediately explained: "It can meet the existing military needs. It is obviously not intended to be the future. With the future of human beings entering space, landing on the moon, and colonizing Mars, this has begun. Human beings have entered the initial stage of stellar civilization from planetary civilization."

"Obviously, after entering the era of stellar civilization, humans will definitely produce different values ​​and social organization forms as the living environment changes. Even if 70% of GDP is eaten up by military spending now, the living standards of the whole people are also developing leapfrogly, people's lives are more nourishing than ever before, and their sense of happiness is greater than any era. This is the benefit of the scientific and technological revolution. Military spending accounts for an absolute proportion is an objective future development trend and is not transferred by personal will."

After a pause, Li Chuan added: "Building a powerful space fleet is urgent to threats to both internal and extraterrestrial civilizations. Looking up at the vast starry sky, it will surely be a space arena for human beings to fight for. New territory will inevitably be accompanied by new interests, and new interests will inevitably lead to new contradictions and disputes, and will further give rise to new technology and more other technological progress. It has two sides and is not transferred by any personal will. It is an objective development trend that is about to exist."

While speaking, Li Chuan called out a projection screen, which was a three-dimensional image of the earth's focus. Everyone looked at it, and Li Chuan was locked in the western hemisphere.

"Looking forward and predicting the future, looking back at history, taking it as a lesson, it is not difficult to find that, taking modern North America as an example, people there believe in the so-called bourgeois democracy, while the British were loyal to the queen and had different views, so the War of Independence broke out and formed the world's largest power in the pre-nuclear fusion era. In a sense, this is the internal cleavage of the British Empire, and this is just apart from an Atlantic Ocean, so the distance between planets is astronomical."

Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and Li Chuan said leisurely: "Obviously, in this case, it is not only a matter of the three values, but also due to the different living environments, humans living on the earth and other planets will definitely have many physical and psychological differences, and these changes will turn us into different people. This is an objective fact."

"After entering the stellar civilization, humans are no longer humans. This is like a fish that goes ashore is no longer a fish. The vast starry sky is so magnificent, but to enter her arms, you must be prepared to pay a huge price. The huge investment in GDP output value is a huge price for military expenditure in order to prevent greater costs."

Li Chuan immediately looked around everyone: "The distance between any planet and its parent planet is astronomical unit level, and it is a real high emperor. In time, who can guarantee whether Mars will split in the future? Will Titan have split in the future? Will they work together to the end when facing alien threats? Who can guarantee whether the planetary world outside the solar system will become a 25-year-old because it can't withstand the pressure, and even throw itself into the arms of alien civilizations and become a 'too traitor'?"

"Take this expedition as an example. If the military and military strength of our Republic were not in the realm of absolute power, how could those guys be willing to obey our orders? I can guarantee that they were ten thousand unwilling in their hearts. If Proxima Centar civilization was comparable to me, the other party induces other countries on the earth to send technology and supplies, there is no doubt that they will rebel!"

"Just put it bluntly!" Li Chuan said at last: "The most fundamental prerequisite for human civilization to step into the sea of ​​stars is to ensure the stability of the human race. In addition to the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences, the parent star has a strong fleet which is the most favorable guarantee for ensuring internal stability."
