Chapter 216 Boom
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Yes, theoretically speaking, RimWorld could indeed take everyone away. However, if killing some people could make the rest of the population live better, then I believe most people would choose to harm those around them.
At that time, chaos and panic will permeate the entire human society, and everyone will feel insecure and hostile to those around them.
After all, once we leave the solar system, the journey ahead will be unknown, and rather than facing the fear of the unknown, it is better to nip the potential dangers in the bud on the ground.
The more humans around us die, the greater our chances of survival will be. So from the moment the RimWorld project begins, humanity will face internal chaos.
The thought sent chills down the spines of all the local officials present.
They are used to standing on high ground and looking down on all of humanity, used to commanding the overall situation, but over time, they have forgotten that people at the bottom are selfish and ignorant.
They wouldn't listen to any talk of the Halo Project, nor would they consider that if everyone followed the order, the Halo World could take everyone away.
The saying goes, "Your position determines your perspective," and you can never imagine how absurd and simple the reason one person might have to kill another could be.
Perhaps it's just about half a biscuit or a place to board the ship first that could lead to bloodshed among the lower classes.
This point was vividly demonstrated in the case of PDC during the great downturn of the planned economy, and the bloody lessons of history seem as fresh as yesterday.
But when people think of this, they can't help but admire Luo Congmin, the female president who has ruled for more than two hundred years.
Despite having the highest position among everyone present, Luo Congmin never made the common mistakes made by high-ranking politicians.
The higher you climb, the colder it gets. When an official stands high enough and becomes detached from the masses, it becomes difficult for him to see the people at the bottom. This will inevitably lead to biased decisions, and even the five ministers of the local government are not immune to this.
But Luo Congmin did it.
She surprised people time and time again with her ideas. Although Luo Congmin's wisdom was still slightly inferior to her father's compared to Luo Ji, she was already quite outstanding compared to others.
Unfortunately, she would never have the chance to become a Swordholder again, and from this moment on, humanity would no longer need Swordholders at all.
The first year of the Broadcast Era, 2314 AD.
Two weeks later, even though the Earth Federation repeatedly denied that the broadcast was fake, no one believed it. Almost everyone accepted in their hearts that the Trisolaran coordinates had been exposed.
The good news is that because Vader captured most of humanity to work as laborers around the world, chaos and madness did not successfully spread among the population.
The law enforcement agency established by Diaz and Taylor proved highly effective, successfully suppressing at least twenty attempts by revolutionaries to launch uprisings during this chaotic era.
As for Wang Miao, he has been extremely busy these past few days.
The construction speed of RimWorld was accelerated again. Wade's move had a miraculous effect. Those who had previously hoped to build the Dark Zone project with wishful thinking have now completely given up on that idea. All of humanity was forced to form a united front, and a large amount of manpower and resources were frantically invested in the construction of RimWorld.
"Wow, that's quite a sight. The last time humanity worked together like this was when the PDC was established during the Crisis Era."
Wade leaned back against the porthole of the Gravitational, watching the RimWorld gradually come to a close, his face expressionless.
Beside him, Guan Yifan, the accompanying scientific advisor for the Gravitational, was helping Wade organize the latest progress of the construction.
“Mr. Wade, it’s amazing. You’re no longer the Swordholder, yet the Earth Alliance hasn’t chosen to use weapons to attack the Gravity.”
Guan Yifan was conscripted by Vydra. Upon arriving at the Gravitational, Vydra told everyone on the ship that he had already installed antimatter bombs on the ship, and if anyone did not cooperate, he would choose to detonate the warship and send everyone to heaven.
Guan Yifan didn't understand at first, thinking it was just Wade being cautious, but later he realized that he and the others had been tricked.
Three minutes after Vader said those words, he was stripped of his rights as sword wielder.
P.S.: Apology letter.
I'm sorry, as you all have probably noticed, our 113-day consecutive update record was completely interrupted 5 minutes ago. I take the main responsibility for this; I was too confident in myself, which led to the interruption of the update. To be honest, I was a little upset at first, but then I thought, oh well, it's over. I can just write another 100 days of updates.
This mistake was caused by a series of errors. First, I was busy with other things during the day, and then I took a bus to school in the evening. I arrived there after 10 p.m. After finishing my work, I started writing at 11 p.m. I finished writing at 11:40 p.m. and was ready to upload it. Unfortunately, the WiFi module of my ASUS ROG phone couldn't connect to the hotspot. Since I had no internet, I planned to switch to the Bluetooth module to transfer the data directly to my phone for uploading. However, the Bluetooth module also malfunctioned. By the time my network was restored, it was about 11:59 p.m., which was too late.
As you've all noticed lately, I've been busy with my thesis and school matters, so my updates have been quite slow. The editor of my new book was originally very optimistic about it, but the pressure of writing two books at once has dragged me down. So the editor wants me to take a break and wait until the summer to start writing the new book. For the next few months, I should focus my attention on this book and not write two books at once, since the last person who tried to do two things at once ended up shooting himself in the basement.
My plan going forward is to focus on this book and give up writing two books at once, so I can finish it as soon as possible. However, my updates may be a bit slow recently because I'm too busy with various things every day. I have to get up at 7 a.m. tomorrow, and I have my thesis defense next week, which means I can only sleep five or six hours a day. After I get through my thesis defense next week, I will resume normal updates and give me time to adjust my pace.
Finally, I would like to apologize to everyone and thank the readers who have supported me all this time. Thank you for not choosing to wait and read the book at this time. If you had all chosen to wait and read the book, the book's performance would have plummeted, and the editors would not have been able to explain it.
Alright, I won't say any more. This book will have a happy ending in the future. I will also adjust my state as soon as possible, finish up these miscellaneous things at hand, and go to sleep while I still can.
