Li Yao and Hei Yelan looked at each other, and even he couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the "game society" of the New Federation a hundred years later: "So, in the current Federation society, if you don't seriously participate in the "Civilization" game, it will be difficult to move forward. " "It's not a problem that you can't move even an inch, but if you accumulate a lot of contribution points and game time in the game, you will indeed take advantage of it in society.
In addition to what I just mentioned, the most relevant thing to the people is the tax rate.
Playing "Civilization" can be tax deducted of."
Ling Xiaole explained, "The Starry Federation is a country with a high tax burden.
There is nothing we can do about it.
The new Federation has only been developing for a century, and many planets in the seven worlds are in a difficult and poor situation.
They have to increase investment in infrastructure construction and return it.
Yes, the threat of the Imperial Expeditionary Force forces us to maintain an overly powerful standing army, and our annual military expenditures are astronomical.
“Therefore, the life of ordinary people in the new federation is far from carefree, and the basic tax rate will even reach more than 50% of the total income.
"However, generally no one really pays so much tax.
You can do various tasks in "Civilization" to reduce taxes.
The better you play "Civilization", the lower the tax rate will be; also, Various virtual competitive competitions are held in each region every year, and the winner can even get a full tax exemption!
” Li Yao was confused for a while: "Can you reduce taxes by playing games?"
"Once again, we are not just a game, but a 'full simulator, cloud data, unified, and star-sea light path aggregation platform.'
Any decision anyone makes in "Civilization" can be regarded as His 'intelligent property' may be of great help to the advancement of the entire 'Xingyao Civilization'!"
Ling Xiaole said very seriously, "Isn't it reasonable to use 'intellectual property' instead of money and hand it over to the state?"
Li Yao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
In fact, as early as more than a hundred years ago, when he proposed the idea of "using the game "Civilization" to unlock wisdom", he had already considered the issue of public participation.
Because the higher the realism of "Civilization" is, the farther it is from the original meaning of the word "game".
The composition of various massive data, mind-consuming and "brain-burning" operations and information processing are not what ordinary players are willing to accept. .
It is naturally impossible for the Federation to force everyone to play a boring and extremely brain-burning game, but the amount of data collected does not reach a certain level, or it only attracts a small number of "deep players" instead of all walks of life.
As for industry, men, women, old and young, the final output decision has no practical guiding significance.
This problem had troubled Li Yao and others for a long time.
Until he left Tianyuan and went to the depths of the dark nebula, there was no good solution.
Unexpectedly, the New Federation could completely solve the problem by just using the "high school entrance examination" and "deduction of tax rate".
It's really... amazing!
Ling Xiaole smiled and said: "Those just now are considered to be relatively practical benefits, and the next one is the most important 'honor', which is the citizenship of the Star Federation.
“The Federation, like the Empire, also pays attention to the ‘citizen contribution points’ system.
Only when the contribution points reach a certain level can one become a true citizen and enjoy the power to determine the future of the country.
"However, the 'citizen contribution points' of the true human empire can only be earned by completing various difficult, dangerous and complex tasks, such as hunting ferocious beasts on undeveloped planets with inaccessible people and harsh environments.
It seems 'fair' How is it possible for ordinary people to do this under such a system?
"The Federation also has this type of mission.
For example, as an 'advance team' to explore unknown resource planets, you can earn a lot of contribution points.
Even if ordinary people are unable to complete these dangerous missions, they can still pass through "Civilization" Various tasks, accumulate contribution points, and learn how to be a qualified 'citizen'!
"Yes, in the eyes of us federal people, the word 'citizen' is supreme, representing great honor and heavy responsibility, even more glorious than the word 'cultivator'!"
"You two should know that since the collapse of the Star Sea Empire 10,000 years ago, no fewer than hundreds of civilizations have emerged in the broken galaxy.
Many civilizations have used elections or even referendums to determine the future, but their endings are all different.
Very sad.
“It’s not that elections are bad, but even putting aside the inefficiency of elections, the real question is how can we make the public understand that the little power they have is crucial to the entire civilization!
"The Supreme Speaker of the Federation is also elected, but we do not believe that anyone is born with the power to determine the future of civilization.
Human nature is selfish.
Untrained people are always short-sighted.
A large number of untrained people gather together. , then they are not just short-sighted, they are simply a bunch of rabble.
"This 'rabble' doesn't just refer to ordinary people.
Even cultivators, even Yuanying old monsters, without receiving corresponding political, economic, social and cultural training, are still a mob and are not worthy of votes.

"The example here, I am not targeting anyone, but in the later period of the Star Sea Republic, under the control of the parliament controlled by countless cultivators, a demon like 'Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi' could emerge, and he easily took over the parliament's Power, after being the supreme leader of the Xinghai Republic for a while, it can be seen that 'cultivators' and 'citizens' are not naturally equated.
"I speak so directly, uncle, do you mind if you do?"
Li Yao coughed dryly, but before he spoke, Hei Yelan said with some dissatisfaction: "I understand, isn't this the 'elite decision-making' system?
The masses are blind, and only the elite can decide the future of civilization.
It makes sense.
Ah, but what does it have to do with the Empire?
What's the difference?
I heard that in the True Human Empire, this kind of 'elite decision-making' system is also adopted.
The emperor does not have the final say alone.
Weird things like that, their words are very important!”
Ling Xiaole laughed: "There is nothing inherently wrong with elite decision-making.
Managing a country is essentially a skill, so of course you need experts.
“But who exactly qualifies as a true ‘expert’?
"I don't deny that among the nobles, lords and world lords of the True Human Empire, there may be many experts in managing the planet, but most of them just have big fists, strong fighting power, and good intentions to fight on the battlefield.
Some people are even worse. , what he is best at is intrigue, hiding a knife in his smile Just because a person becomes a noble because of his strong fighting ability, it does not mean that he can really govern the place, and he may even be busy practicing and thinking about making his fist bigger, without even thinking about going there.
Receive the most basic training in public affairs decision-making.
“For such a guy, let alone becoming a leader, even if he becomes the most ordinary ‘citizen’, I think it’s quite embarrassing.
"There is no way, the empire is like this, the weak prey on the strong, and strength is king.
They may seem advanced, but they are just a group of steel barbarians equipped with starships and Titan soldiers."
Hei Yelan took a deep breath and had nothing to say.
Li Yao smiled and said, "Is the Federation different?"
"Of course it's different."
Ling Xiaole said proudly, "The people of the Federation have been trained in public affairs since childhood.
By the time they reach adulthood, they have acquired basic civic literacy and understand that their choices and efforts are closely related to the future of the entire civilization!
And in the end, those who can truly become citizens , all proved themselves in the game "Civilization".
Not only do they have an in-depth understanding of economics, politics, culture, military and other aspects, they are relatively rational, calm, and far-sighted, and they are also willing to invest a lot of time to contribute their wisdom.
Property', serving the public!
"Such 'citizens' have high or low levels of cultivation, and most of them are not even cultivators.
However, they are all well-deserved 'social elites', and they can also choose to represent the voices of all people in the Federation to the greatest extent.
The Supreme Speaker, who determines the future development path of the Federation, is the best system we can think of.
"It not only avoids the situation that many civilizations in the past 10,000 years let a group of 'rabble' choose their leaders, but chose a loser or even an ambitious conspirator.
In the end, everyone united and went to destruction; and Xinghai Light Road The ultra-high information transmission speed of the platform also reduces the consumption of the election itself to the limit!
" Ling Xiaole's tail swung fiercely and brushed against the tip of Li Yao's nose several times, making him want to sneeze.
"Right."
Li Yao rubbed the tip of his nose and asked, "There is one thing I just wanted to ask.
Has the Federation's current means of spiritual transmission been developed to this extent?
Even the spiritual data between two different worlds?
The transmission and exchange can be completed instantly.
The 'network speed' is too scary.
Come on, even our Firefly's technology seems unable to do this.
At best, it can only complete instantaneous data exchange within the same vast world.
This kind of 'unified' virtual platform that accommodates the seven worlds, with our The technology will collapse in minutes.”
Ling Xiaole hesitated for a moment.
Li Yao knew that she received the instructions from above through the ultra-micro sound transmission array affixed to her eardrums.
Three seconds later, the above seemed to agree.

Ling Xiaole said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you two.
We originally There is no such technology, but a hundred years ago, before the New Federation was established, the 'Old Federation' received a mysterious signal from the depths of the star sea."
"oh?"
Li Yao sat up straight.
The signal Ling Xiaole mentioned was obviously the one that summoned him to the ancient holy world and eventually attracted a lot of fierce people such as Meng Chixin and Long Yangjun.
Ling Xiaole continued: "Today, the content of that signal is irrelevant, but the magical power that transmitted it is crucial.
"Federation scholars have spent decades studying this signal, and finally determined that it is an advanced information transmission method from prehistoric civilization.
This method similar to 'gravitational waves' can instantly cross the star sea and realize information between two vast worlds.
Seamless connection.
"It was precisely by relying on this 'prehistoric signal' that the Federation's information transmission technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and finally established a unified "civilized" world!"
