138. Star War Causes

YiiXi followed Queen Mantis's advice.

He didn't go to the Martial Arena to train on the same day.

On his way back, lying in the machine capsule.

Recalling the assassination attempt in the mech beast fighting colosseum made YiiXi unable to feel at ease.

The interstellar war and the civil war seemed to be closely related to YiiXi's life.

YiiXi couldn't fall asleep on his way back.

So he simply decided to learn more information about the interstellar war and the civil war.

Knowing about the main opponents would be of great help in planning life-saving strategies.

..

Thus, YiiXi gave an instruction and projected out the intelligent spirit of the information bracelet.

YiiXi asked the intelligent spirit:

"Little Mantis, is the outbreak of the interstellar war inevitable?"

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Of course. The resources on the Starry Ark have been used up.

The Starry Ark carried the spark of humanity.

It carried resources that could last for thousands of years and reproduced humans across star systems.

However, the Starry Ark Knights soon discovered that:

The vast sea of stars was not realistic and the knights would become extinct on the way of exploring the far reaches of space.

So all the Starry Arks were connected together and all gave up exploring the far reaches of space.

For the sake of super-high-speed development, resources were consumed at dozens of times the normal speed.

The resources on the Starry Ark that were supposed to last for thousands of years were used up in just over a hundred years.

Especially, water was scarce on the Starry Ark.

Water could be recycled, but its quantity couldn't be increased.

The Starry Ark had only two options:

Either return to the Gaia or land on the Mars colony.

Once the Starry Ark Knights returned to the Gaia, they would become a laughingstock and lose all the glory they had before.

And on the Mars colony, all the land was privatized.

It was controlled by different capital families and consortia.

If the Starry Ark landed on the Mars colony peacefully, the knights would become slaves on Mars.

The Starry Ark Knights could only start a war.

They had to use violent means to plunder the land and water on Mars."

..

YiiXi said:

"The destination of the Starry Ark was Proxima Centauri B, and the journey would take thousands of years.

Humans are indeed not suitable for exploring the far reaches of space at this stage.

The human body is also not suitable for exploring the far reaches of space.

In the future, it will be robots that explore the far reaches of space.

Only when human lifespan evolves to be very long will it be suitable for humans to explore the far reaches of space in person.

That's something in the very distant future.

Or maybe it will never happen."

..

Mantis Princess said:

"Due to its abundant materials, the Starry Ark adopted the model of common property.

It developed the most extreme social form with completely shared assets.

This was almost the most perfect social form for humans.

The Starry Ark was the largest scientific exploration plan in human history.

But it was also the most wrong scientific plan in human history, with an extremely heavy price.

If we regard the Starry Ark as a civilization experiment, there were still some results.

It's just that the price was too heavy.

The Starry Ark almost depleted the resources of the Gaia.

And it took away the most advanced space technology of humans.

The Mars colony also swept away the core wealth of humans.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

And the most valuable artworks, jewels, cultural relics, antiques...

Under the dual sweep and plunder of the Starry Ark and the Mars colony, the Gaia was almost left destitute."

YiiXi said:

"The wealth plunder by the Starry Ark and Mars immigrants was extremely cruel.

Historical psychologists named it the 'Black Starry 50 Years'."

..

YiiXi asked:

"Why isn't Utopia the most perfect?"

Mantis Princess said:

"The characteristics of Utopia are broadness and inclusiveness, but Utopia is not perfect.

Utopia can embrace all the most extreme social forms.

Due to excessive broadness and inclusiveness, Utopia can't be perfect.

Inclusiveness and perfection seem to be a pair of contradictions.

Utopia can't be compatible with both inclusiveness and perfection at the same time."

..

YiiXi asked:

"What other relatively perfect social forms do humans have?"

Mantis Princess said:

"The free territories and ownerless territories in the post-society are very perfect.

Inside the free territories, there are all elites, intellectuals and cultured people.

The free territories have no capital monopoly at all and no armed deterrence either.

In the free territories, there aren't even poor people or common people.

Different elites guide different groups of intellectuals.

Intellectuals can completely freely choose the elites who can guide them.

The free territories are almost the most ideal social form for humans."

..

YiiXi said:

"The free territories are indeed close to the most extreme idealism.

They have surpassed Plato's 'Republic' by many levels."

Mantis Princess said:

"Plato was born into a slave-owning family.

He was also one of the main spokespersons for slave owners.

Plato's works and ideals mainly served to safeguard the interests of slave owners."

..

YiiXi said:

"Although it's a bit far-fetched to say so, it's also correct.

Since ancient times, knowledge has been mainly created and passed down by slave owners."

Mantis Princess said:

"The ownerless territories are even more perfect and more equal than the free territories.

The ownerless territories are all occupied by common people and poor people, and there aren't even elites.

Common people and poor people don't need elites to guide them.

Common people and poor people guide themselves.

They can freely occupy land and houses.

They can freely develop commerce and markets.

There is no capital monopoly and no armed deterrence.

There is also no elite guidance.

It's a completely free and equal social competition model."

..

YiiXi said:

"Some social forms in the post-society are even more utopian than Utopia?"

Mantis Princess said:

"The post-society is learning from Utopia.

It's making improvements on the basis of Utopia.

So in some aspects, the post-society is more perfect than Utopia."

..

YiiXi said:

"Do humans have some relatively extreme social forms?"

Mantis Princess said:

"The lawless areas in Utopia, the lawless zones in the post-society, the lawless wilderness in the Amani Chaos Region, and the lawless sea areas of the Bermuda Triangle and the Doomsday Dock.

According to the 'Equal Ruling Network Contract':

Areas not covered by the network are not bound by the network contract.

Lawless areas, lawless zones, lawless wilderness, lawless sea areas...

They have no network coverage and are not bound by network contracts either.

The lawless areas can only be regarded as mild ones.

The truly extreme social forms are the closed areas used by Utopia for civilization experiments."

..

YiiXi asked:

"Why do humans allow the existence of lawless areas?"

Mantis Princess said:

"Because contracts can go wrong.

Humans need a place for relief when contracts go wrong.

Contracts can only achieve relative fairness.

But contracts can't achieve absolute fairness.

If you think the contract adjudication is wrong.

If the contract is unfair to you.

You can enter the lawless areas.

In the lawless areas, all contracts and adjudications are invalid.

Some people accidentally killed others and were sentenced to death.

They then fled into the lawless areas."

..

YiiXi said:

"It seems quite reasonable."

Mantis Princess said:

"What you should pay the most attention to is:

The Sky City of the previous society.

And the forbidden areas of the reclusive ancient clans.

Your mother came from the ancient Hidden Silii Yoga Clan.

It has the same origin as the Thousand-year Silii Ninja Clan in the Sky City.

In the future, in order to save your life.

You may flee to the Silii Ninja Clan in the Sky City.

You can also be regarded as a descendant of the Hidden Silii Yoga Clan to some extent.

You have inherited the genes of the Yoga Clan.

Your agility like a monkey, your narcolepsy...

All these are the genes of the Yoga Clan and the Ninja Clan."
