Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

Many projects that have been put on hold in the Federation due to funding, but in the same ethnic group, they can do whatever they want, and try as much as they want.

This is just a "hands-on experiment" research done by some juvenile cubs. If it were a top scientist like her, with such massive resources to support, how many achievements would she be able to make!

"Year after year, it's been a few years, when will this group of cakes who don't do fox things sign a joint research agreement with the same clan..."

She sighed as she opened the door.

"I really want to post...to do research with Miss Hong!"

Thinking of this, she felt as uncomfortable as picking up a lemon.

If it wasn't really impossible to lick it, who would be willing to just be an unknown dog licking? If it wasn't for the fact that the same ethnic group didn't open up the country at all and allow alliance members to become naturalized, she wouldn't have to watch the popular live broadcast to chat Be proud of yourself.

"Welcome back, Master."

As soon as she stepped into the house, the villa's smart butler "Red" greeted her in a timely manner.

Of course, this is not the fully intelligent Hong of the same race, she does not have the ability to let Hong take care of her daily life, let alone such an ambiguous tone and address.

This is just a program developed by the Academy of Sciences. Currently, its functions are limited to connecting and controlling all smart homes in the entire villa, and at the same time answer questions such as "what's the weather today", "published papers in a certain field", "red" according to the preset program. What's up with the lady?" Simple questions like that.

It is still in the testing stage at present, and the program test is only carried out among a small number of qualified people-of course, it is very easy for Asteria, who is an academician, to want one.

As for her naming it "Red" and replacing the program's voice database with Hong's voiceprint information, they don't care.

"Is there any news during this time?" She put her research robe on the hanger beside her, "Choose the important ones."

"The first piece of news, at 14:[-] capital time this afternoon, the first Union-class battleship officially completed its commissioning ceremony, and delegations from various countries gathered together to celebrate this great moment—the [-]-ton battleship's The start of production marks a new height in the alliance's military manufacturing industry, which allows..."

"The entire battleship is designed in red from the beginning to the end, and all manufacturing standards use the standards of the same family. How embarrassed to take all the credit for it?"

Obviously, she was full of disdain for this.

The reason why Hong deliberately changed this battleship to a design that allows the Alliance to produce all the components itself, without importing any key components from her, is to avoid the suspicion that "she wants to get stuck in the neck of the Alliance's manufacturing industry."

As a result, in their mouths, it has become a "new height" in the alliance's military manufacturing industry.

Even if Asteria's personal favorability for Hong is not taken into account, this is an embarrassing thing from the perspective of the country alone.

"next."

"The second piece of news, the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Trade held a press conference yesterday to respond to the recent scandal of the Galaxy Trade Organization. At the meeting..."

"really."

Hearing the news, she was both surprised and taken for granted.

However, although it is already commonplace for the Alliance to have some scandals, the Galaxy Trade Organization has only been established for a few years?

Just 10 years!

In just ten years, large-scale corruption and bribery have broken out that cannot be concealed by the top. What about the secrets?

How many of those are covered up?

"Hey."

She sighed, lay down on the soft sofa, and stared at the shining chandelier on the ceiling.

Without the existence of the same clan, she would at most follow suit and scold those greedy and corrupt officials, then turn her head and forget about such trivial matters.

Seriously, in this society, who is not angry with schoolboys, bribery, bureaucrats, and all kinds of inefficient or even inefficient production systems?

After all, she has lived in such an environment since she was a child, and many things that are difficult for Hong to understand are commonplace here.

But when the same family body appeared, everything was different.

"Without contrast, there is no harm."

Asteria muttered to herself.

This is what a former friend of hers who used to study sociology said. Her topic at the time was to study the trend of assimilation within the Federation.

According to her research, only 7 years have passed since the establishment of formal diplomatic relations between the same ethnic group and the alliance, and since Hong entered the federal Internet, the Internet culture of the federation has already been irreversibly affected.

Moreover, this is 7 years calculated by the same family calendar. If calculated by the federal calendar, only 3 years have passed.

Three years, enough for what?

You know, if the establishment of the backbone server is used as the starting point, the Federal Internet has been running for a full 121 years.

121 to 3, a gap of 40 times.

"In just three years, countless people from the Federation have personally realized the advancement and excellence of the Great Consortium—don't rush to deny it, you know, all the people present here have the same idea, there is nothing to hide here. "

Whenever she thinks of that party, Asteria's heart is filled with helplessness.

If it hadn't been for the people present to reveal their identities one after another, she would never have imagined that a secret association had already been established in the top scientific research university of the Federation.

Their goal is also very simple, they want to seek a brand new path for this civilization.

"Very good, very lofty ideals, you are all people of insight, I appreciate you!"

Asteria vaguely remembers that when she realized that she was trapped in the enemy's nest, in order to save her own life, she immediately turned on the flattery mode, and successfully made the association believe that "she is one of her own, just It’s just that I can’t publicly express my support due to my status as an academician.”

However, the actual thoughts in her heart are simple.

Just relying on the current semi-feudal and semi-slavery society, do you want to become an advanced society like the same clan in one step?

I miss you too much.

However, even though she did not agree with their method, she did not choose to report the association backhand after getting out of the body. After all, from a social point of view, these people still really want to do something good.

Although she herself does not have the awareness to change, she still has respect for these idealists who are willing to take action.

It's as if many people don't have the courage to act bravely, but they still have respect for those who act bravely.

However, even if she didn't choose to report it, the association didn't last long - after all, it can treat a dead house who simply likes to watch Two-dimensional live broadcasts as "one of my own" and directly pull them into a party where all members participate The association's ability to keep secrets of such a stupid operation of revealing its identity is naturally stretched to the extreme.

About a week later, people from the FBI came to ask her about the association, and she naturally chose to answer the investigator's question truthfully.

After all, she is just a weak and beautiful girl who simply likes scientific research and Miss Hong. How could she know about such a strange thing?

As for an academician of theoretical particle physics, as long as she doesn't express her support clearly, her superiors will treat her as ignorant.

As long as you don't talk about the rebellion, everything is easy to talk about - this is the death line of the federal government, and Asteria, who regards her own life as rare, will naturally not touch this bad luck.

"Next news..."

Before she knew it, the smart housekeeper had already broadcast several pieces of news in succession. She yawned and decided to listen to one more piece of news before going to sleep.

"After several years of negotiation, the same race and the alliance have finally reached a consensus on the scientific research agreement. The three countries of the alliance will soon send a team of scientists to the home planet of the same race, Catus. During the introduction, they will learn from the same race. The body is advanced...."

What was the news later, she was too lazy to listen anymore - just the previous paragraph was enough.

"I'm going."

"Mmm Good......"

"understood."

"Okay, thanks a lot... well, bye."

The yawning, sleepy man lying dead on the sofa just now disappeared, replaced by a capable young girl who was on the phone in a serious manner and consulted about declaration matters—if one ignores the almost unconcealable excitement on her face.

She hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

"Ness!"

PS1: After that, the update changed from two chapters of [-] words per day to one chapter of [-] words, so it seems that the follow-up order will not be so fast.

PS2: Ask for a ticket QAQ

Volume 72 Cats and Space: Chapter [-] The Social Experiment

"The inspection is complete, the passenger ship number 1 is allowed to pass."

Illuminated by the constantly flashing red warning lights outside the cabin, the space station disconnected from the spacecraft and signaled that it was safe to leave.

Although the same family itself does not have any interstellar passenger transport business, even if there is a very small number of personnel transportation needs, it can be completed by temporarily mounting the manned cabin on the cargo ship.

However, out of consideration for the "card surface", Hong still specially built a passenger ship for the interaction with the alliance.

"The last time I went to the same kind of body, I was still in the **** spaceship." Asteria pulled out the seat belt from behind to fix himself on the chair, "I was chanting those things over and over the whole time." Not to mention the precautions, we still have to listen to them with a smile on our faces.”

"After all, at that time, I thought that the homogenous body was a gathering place of cold-blooded machines that kill foxes without blinking an eye."

Another young scholar who was traveling with him twisted his body, trying to draw out his tail that was about to be numb.

"Who would have thought that an omnic that was carrying out destructive orbital bombing on the enemy at first sight was actually just an old mother who was eager to protect the calf?"

Unlike Asteria, this scholar is not only academically conservative, but also quite retro-traditional in her daily life—specifically, she is ignorant of Internet culture, let alone Two- Dimensional is a trendy culture.

Yes, although she is a "young scholar", in terms of her real age, she is already 220 years old, far inferior to the real young people like Asteria who have just come of age.

The reason why she is called a young scholar is that for a profession like a scientist, the age of [-] is really only the beginning of their academic career.

With the continuous development of science and technology and the gradual refinement of scientific research routes, the cost of training a person into a qualified scientific researcher is getting higher and higher, and the time required is getting longer and longer.

After all, if you want to innovate, not to mention thoroughly understanding previous research, you must at least understand [-]% to [-]% of it. If you want to stand on the shoulders of giants, you must at least climb on them first.

Generally speaking, a Jeffery person begins to receive basic education at the age of 30, completes all studies until the age of 120, and then spends 60 years completing intermediate and advanced bachelor courses—that is, the combined master’s and doctoral studies of the same family standard.

To put it simply, if there is no delay in the whole process and no accidents, a Jeffrey scholar needs to be 180 years old to be said to have some experience in the field he specializes in, and to truly enter the scientific community.

And what is their academic age?

Only around 400 years old.

It's not that they died after that, a normal Jeffrey can live to be about five or six hundred years old, and a very small number of people who have undergone advanced genetic surgery can live to an advanced age of about 700 years old with proper health care .

Only after the age of 400, it will be difficult for them to make any scientific achievements—this is caused by the natural aging of the body, and it is almost impossible to solve for their current genetic technology.

In other words, they spent so much energy, but the scientists they obtained could only work for about 200 to [-] years, and they had to retreat to the second line and no longer participated in scientific research.

Not to mention, almost all the great scientific research achievements of the Jeffery civilization were completed before the scholars were 300 years old.

This is like a curse. A person's most golden time is wasted on learning the theories of predecessors. By the time they have mastered all of them and officially entered the road of scientific research, their scientific research life has gone through more than half and is coming to an end. .

This is the biggest obstacle to Jeffrey's scientific research today, and it is also one of the main reasons why "innovators" in the scientific community are prevalent.

Anyway, scientific research can't produce any results, so it's better to take the opportunity to earn more money and fame-this is the voice of most scientific researchers.

And the most important reason why Asteria, as an old school, is more popular than those reformers who try their best to earn traffic every day is her 140-year-old academician status.

What is the concept of 140 years old?

When others were still studying for an intermediate bachelor's degree, she had already won the highest academic title in the Federation, and won the third-ranked science award in the Federation for the theory she researched—for the vast majority of scientists, this is already their lifetime. dreamed up.

Even if she doesn't do anything in the future, as long as she doesn't do anything wrong, lives peacefully until she is four hundred years old, takes off her young scholar's hat, resigns to the second line and becomes the older generation, she will immediately get a fat and oily pension Position, the state will take care of you for life, and enjoy your old age in peace.

The people on the side looked at Asteria, whose face was full of expectation, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

Normally, it is impossible for a talented scholar like her with a bright future to come here—because, from the moment they set foot on this spaceship, they have all become guinea pigs.

It's a deal, and it's a test.

It is an experiment to experience the same-ethnic system first-hand, and to be a pathfinder for subsequent reforms.

Among this group of scholars, there are "Grand Federalists" who firmly believe that the federal system is superior to the homogeneous system, and there are "conservatives" who believe that although the homogeneous system is excellent, there is no need to study it deliberately The "spiritual fellows" of the three countries of the Reform Alliance.

Of course, for the sake of safety, the scholars they selected only have differences in political opinions, and there will never be any malicious existence towards people of the same race—although this will affect the results of the experiment to a certain extent, but this is red. Requirements, they naturally dare not not comply.

The reason for carrying out this social experiment is none other than to deal with the assimilation of the three alliance countries by the same ethnic group.After seven years of subtle influence, the alliance's attitude towards the "change movements" emerging in their respective countries is no longer regarded as a scourge as it was at the beginning.

On the one hand, after careful understanding, the cakes of various countries have to admit that the systems they currently implement are indeed too backward compared with those of the same ethnic group, and they are so backward that they seriously do not match the productivity they have today. .

On the other hand, in addition to the people, the voices for "reform" within the governments of various countries have also begun to grow stronger, and many officials have begun to express their views explicitly-and among them, the voices for reform within the empire are the most powerful. The strong one.

Because it was headed by the emperor.

Whether it is the deduction made by the staff and scholars, or the many small-scale social experiments conducted secretly, it has been proved that if they carry out a certain degree of reform, it will help the interests of the ruling class.

This is a very crucial point.

If a change can win the support of the public without harming or even benefiting the interests of the cake, it is tantamount to losing the greatest resistance to the implementation of conventional changes.

Still take the empire as an example. If the emperor takes the lead, the ministers push forward, and the common people applaud the reforms, if they all fail, it can only show that the cohesion of this country has been scattered to the point where it is almost impossible to see—obviously, within the alliance The federation with the worst cohesion is not so bad.

The difference from the unified history of Catus is that even though the Jeffreys and Fasatis still use slaves as their main labor force, they have a unique advantage over normal civilizations in learning the homogeneous system.

This advantage is very simple - the most difficult thing to change is to change your own life.

But they can pass the pain of change on to the slaves.
