In front of the No. 3 residential star-class spaceship, a building complex built in a pastoral style in Area A, an intelligent creature was standing in front of the fence, shouting into the building.
"Hey, Ares, stop taking care of your worthless sweet potatoes. Today, people in our community have agreed to go to the No. 3169 Mining Base to participate in voluntary labor. Are you going?"
At this moment, the sun is rising, and the artificial sun emits warm golden light, illuminating the earth with brightness. The climate is very suitable, neither hot nor cold, and the warm wind blows, bringing bursts of unknown floral fragrance.
In the midst of vast tracts of countryside, this small village is very peaceful.
At this moment, Ares is busy in a sweet potato field in his backyard. This crop from the ancient Earth era was unexpectedly welcomed by the people of the Pegasus civilization and quickly became their favorite food. After finding
After marrying a woman of his own race and living a comfortable life, Ares also planted some in his own home.
Although home robots can provide a series of tasks from planting to harvesting to cooking, people generally believe that such things should be grown and harvested by oneself, and only then can you enjoy them in the end.
Ares stood up, patted his tired body, and responded: "Mr. Riel, I am busy with some things today, so I won't go today. You and the neighbors can go."
The intelligent creature known as Mr. Riel said with some dissatisfaction: "Ares, this is the sixth time you have refused to participate in voluntary labor. The higher-ups in society are working hard for our civilization, and even Xu
Dean, Master No. 2, and Mr. Jason all died of overwork. The soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line. Our civilization has reached its most critical moment. It is when we contribute to our civilization, but you still have thoughts.
What kind of sweet potatoes are you going to plant?"
Ares's body stiffened slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Riel, I'm so sorry. I really have some things that need to be dealt with today."
"Humph." Mr. Riel snorted dissatisfiedly, turned around and left.
After Xiao Yu chose to announce the current situation to all walks of life, not only did there not be any riots in the Shenzhou civilization, but intelligent creatures of all races united together unprecedentedly. A large number of intelligent creatures spontaneously organized to go to various parts of the Shenzhou civilization
Industrial bases participate in voluntary labor. They either go to mining bases to participate in mineral collection. Or they go to purification workshops. Others choose to work in spacecraft manufacturing centers. Artists are creating various literary and artistic works to encourage people
We must persist until the last moment and encourage people to have the confidence to win; architects are responsible for building a large number of comfortable and beautiful buildings so that those who participate in voluntary labor can rest comfortably; nutritionists serve as
The chef's responsibility is to provide these people with exquisite and delicious food.
The entire Shenzhou civilization has been fully activated. From top to bottom, no one is wasting their time. But Ares is an exception. In fact, in the eyes of his neighbors, Ares is simply a weirdo.
He never cares about social welfare and seems to have no concern about the survival of civilization. He never attends community gatherings or participates in voluntary labor. It seems that his whole world is just his slightly dilapidated house and the things he grows in his backyard.
Sweet potato.
Mr. Riel had already left, and Ares continued back to the backyard, carefully tending to the sweet potato seedlings that had just sprouted.
"Dear, I think we should talk." At this time, Ares's wife, a slightly ordinary Pegasus civilized female wisdom, held the crystallization of her love with Ares,
Their children came out of the house.
Ares' body froze for a moment, then stood up. He smiled and said, "Dear, what can I do?"
"You make me very disappointed." Ares's wife said, "When I first met you, I always thought you were a responsible, responsible, brave and resolute man. But now I find that this doesn't seem to be the case.
.You make me very disappointed."
The smile on Ares's face gradually faded, and eventually disappeared completely. He said slowly: "I will take meticulous care of you and the child, and I will give you my wholehearted love. Isn't this enough?"
"Not enough, this is not enough." His wife shook her head and said sadly: "A man's career should be outside the family, instead of guarding his wife and children all day long. There are many intelligent creatures gathered together
Our civilization is formed together. Civilization provides security, order and dignity, as well as culture and welfare for every individual in the civilization. When civilization encounters danger, as a member of civilization, shouldn’t we
Shall we use our strength to contribute to civilization? Don't forget that only if civilization can continue, our family can continue. But in these aspects, you have disappointed me."
"Shouldn't the direction of civilization be decided by those decision-makers?" Ares said, "For example, the members of the social committee, the military committee, the chief executive of the planet, or the living spaceship, or... the owner
?”
"Shenzhou civilization is the civilization of all our intelligent creatures, not the civilization of one person or organization." His wife looked into his eyes and said, "It is our civilization, everyone's civilization. For the continuation of civilization, we also
We should make our own contribution. We are doing it for ourselves, not for some interest groups."
His wife lowered her head and said in a sad voice: "I don't want our neighbors to call me when I go out and say, this is the wife of Ares who has made no contribution. I don't want them to call me when I go out."
Everyone is secretly saying that our family is a worm of civilization."
"Dad, when I was in school, they all ostracized me and bullied me. They said that my father was of no use and had no contribution to our civilization. They said that you were just enjoying the protection of civilization but felt at ease. Dad, you
He has always been a hero in my mind. Please tell me that what they say is all false and deceptive. Dad, you are not that kind of person. Please tell me, okay?" At this time, the young intelligent creature used his
The unique childish voice said.
"Ares, think about it for yourself. If you don't want to go, then my child and I will participate in voluntary labor." After saying this, she took her child and turned around to leave.
Under the early morning sunshine, Ares's body was trembling slightly as he stood in the sweet potato field.
"The Shenzhou civilization destroyed the Pegasus civilization, destroyed the fifth-level civilization alliance, and cut off our hope of becoming a sixth-level civilization. The Shenzhou civilization is my life-and-death enemy..."
"Aris, hello, I'm Xiao Yu." At this moment, Xiao Yu's voice came from the air, and a flying robot gradually revealed its appearance in the void, and moved Xiao Yu
The image is projected.
Ares regained his composure in an instant. At this moment, he seemed to have become the civilized leader commanding hundreds of billions of people again.
"Xiao Yu, what's the matter?"
"Our civilization has reached a critical moment of life and death. All my attempts have failed. At this time, I need your help." Xiao Yu said slowly, "I can rival Luca II.
Even an outstanding person who surpasses you in some aspects, I believe you have the ability to help me."
"Oh?" Ares showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Why should I help you? You destroyed my civilization and cut off our hope of advancing to the sixth level civilization?"
"I want you to see some pictures that you don't know." Xiao Yu waved his hand without thinking about the problem. As a result, a large amount of image data was projected.
Among these pictures, there are pictures of the people of the original Pegasus civilization living a happy life, pictures of the people of the original Pegasus civilization working hard in mining bases and foundries, and pictures of people operating spaceships and fighting hard.
"You see, the people of your civilization are living very well in the Shenzhou civilization. They love this civilization, and they have forgotten the dark days in the past. They are also contributing to our Shenzhou civilization. Ares, I think
Let me ask you a question, what is your position of hatred when you call it hatred? If you still think that you are the leader of the Pegasus civilization, then seeing that the people of the Pegasus civilization are living so happily now, how can you
You should let go of this hatred. If you hate me as a person, then you are just a despicable person who forcibly kidnapped the civilization and morality of Pegasus for your own selfish purposes."
"For the sake of their own hatred, regardless of the survival of civilization - you have to know that the Shenzhou civilization also includes the people of the original Pegasus civilization. If they know that their leader has the ability to save civilization, but because of that ridiculous
If they hate you and are unwilling to contribute to civilization, then I don’t know whether they will hate you or support you.”
"Ares, stop being persistent. Now, it's time for you to stand up and contribute to our Shenzhou civilization. Remember, Shenzhou civilization is not mine alone, nor yours alone. It belongs to all of us."
Human." Xiao Yu said lightly.
Ares's body trembled slightly. Xiao Yu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
"Just think of it for my wife and children, so that they can tell others openly that my husband and father are a hero who saved civilization..." Ares sighed softly. Ten minutes later
, he raised his head: "Tell me if there is any problem that I need to solve."
