In the Encyclopedia of stars, the chronicle of the earth and all the documents and materials related to the country, there was no content about Hao Zhi's conversation with Duanmu Tong on the Martian dune that night, which led to countless guesses. Many literary works gave various interpretations of what they said that night.

It was not until three hundred years after Hao Zhi's death that the conversation about a major turning point in Earth history was restored in his autobiographical book friends of time

"With your character, you definitely won't give up your current comrades in arms and choose to escape alone..." duanmutong thought about it and said to Hao Zhi with a smile.

"Isn't that right?" Hao Zhi turned and pointed to the lights in the Martian sandcastle, "300000 soldiers, nearly 500000 generals and nearly one million soldiers in kuinu fleet are looking at me, Hao Zhi. I am their spiritual sustenance for defeating alien civilization. They draw energy from my deeds. With me, they think their sacrifice is a glorious thing. Without me, the trend of earth fugitiveism would have affected a long time ago Most people, if I take the lead to escape and return to the earth at this time, they will feel that Hao Zhi has run away. What else can we fight in this war? At that time, the collapse of the whole combat system will only be a moment! And the chaotic Starfleet will become the target of the enemy's random slaughter... "

"What about the earth?" Duanmu Tong continued, "you already know that you will not win the Mars war if you persist. Persistence is just to give you peace of conscience. What would you think if you missed this opportunity to escape and the last hope for the continuation of earth civilization was buried in your hands?"

"I don't know..." Hao Zhi hugged his head painfully. "I really have no choice. I know LV Fang's fire plan is correct, escape is the only way, and persistence will not have results, but we have sacrificed so much, we have paid so much, I'm unwilling, I can't convince myself..."

"The lesser of the two powers is the most contradictory part of your character.

Let me tell you a story.

The three disciples of Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, once asked the teacher how to find an ideal partner. Socrates did not directly answer, but let them walk on the ridge of wheat, only allowed them to move forward, and only gave them one chance to pick the best and largest ear of wheat.

The first disciple had just walked a few steps into the wheat field when he saw a big and beautiful ear of wheat and picked it happily.

But as he moved on, he found that many in front of him were bigger than the one he picked, so he had to finish the whole journey with regret.

The second disciple learned a lesson. Whenever he wanted to pick it, he always reminded himself that there was something better behind it.

When he was near the end, he found that the greatest opportunities had been missed

You are the second apprentice who always wants to pick the largest ears of wheat. Although you are a kind person, you are not good at making choices, but you always compare and always want to experience and do your best.

I've heard many stories about you in the past. Your life is always suffering from the contradiction between wandering and choice. You want to do the best of both worlds, so emotionally, you also want to take both sides into account, so you dominate one and hurt one... "

Duanmutong finished his story and smiled at Hao Zhi, who was deep in thought.

"I don't quite understand..."

"It's actually very simple. Unless you walk the whole wheat field next to each other, you can't get the largest ear of wheat. At present, no matter how you choose, you will regret one day, so why bother?"

Hao Zhi nodded thoughtfully: "since I will regret no matter how I choose, why don't I do what I want? Even if I'm wrong, I'm not ashamed!"

Duanmu boy sighed, "this is your childish place!"

"What do you mean?" Hao Zhi looked at duanmutong suspiciously.

"Do you know why this choice is never a problem in front of LV Fang?" Duanmu Tong asked him meaningfully.

"Lu Fang's eyes only have interests and no morality. He won't feel guilty for anyone's death, and he won't bear any conscience punishment for his choice, so of course he can make a choice easily!" Hao Zhihen said.

"This is his vision as a politician, which is beyond you and me!" Duanmu Tong smiled. "Don't you find that there is no choice of a third apprentice in the story I tell you?"

"Oh, by the way, how did the third apprentice choose?"

"The third disciple learned the lessons of the first two. When he reached one third, he divided into three categories: large, medium and small. When he went another third, he verified whether it was correct. When he reached the last third, he knew very well what kind of ear of wheat was the largest and most beautiful, so he chose the most beautiful ear of wheat belonging to the category. Although this is not necessarily the largest and most beautiful one But he finished the whole journey with satisfaction. "

"You mean, Lu Fang is such a person?"

"Wrong, Wang Yanke and I are such people!

We can only rationally analyze what we want to do and use the best way to get the best results, but we are still trapped in this wheat field of thinking and can't jump out of the limitations of our own pattern. Even if it seems that we have made the best choice, used the smartest method and got the best results, we still haven't won the final victory.

Many times in the past, in the struggle between Wang Yanke and LV Fang, if she is as smart as her, she can't escape LV Fang's calculation. That's the truth. LV Fang is not any of the three disciples, he is Socrates himself! "

"Oh..." Hao Zhi nodded suddenly. "The old fox is resourceful and treacherous. However, his eyes are really sharp and far-reaching. You and I can't see what he can see!"

"Yes, just like you and me, under our pattern, what's the use of picking the largest ears of wheat even if we earn the greatest interests and achieve the greatest success? When the earth is lost and mankind is extinct, when we look back, even the wheat field no longer exists. What's the significance of the so-called choice!"

Hao Zhi finally understood the real motive of duanmutong's story: "You're right. In Lu Fang's eyes, it's the most important thing to keep the wheat field. Even if he can't keep the wheat field, he should keep a wheat ear. For him, let alone the size of the wheat ear, it's not important. Even if he escapes to plant a grain of wheat, he can plant another wheat field in the future! The old man has already defined this final goal, so he made it Kindling plan... "

"Well, in order to achieve the goal by all means, the process is not important, the important thing is the result. This is the most powerful place of LV Fang. Therefore, compared with LV Fang, you and I are really just a bunch of naive children..."

"All right!" Hao Zhi suddenly felt relieved. He slowly walked up to the top of the sand dune, and the strong wind blew the windbreaker behind him. At the same time, at the new moon base thousands of miles away, LV Fang was also standing in front of the huge glass window of the Fuehrer's residence, looking up at the huge warship slowly dispatching in the sky outside. With a confident smile, he gently turned off the communicator on the table, Hao Zhihe The voice of Duanmu Tong's conversation disappeared in the office, and on the other side, the communicator in Duanmu Tong's pocket went out silently

The positions of the two people who determine the fate of the earth have been unified together for the first time. From that moment on, the Earth Defense War has come to an end, and there is only one remaining goal for mankind. Escape!

That year, it was also written into history. The conversation on the Martian dunes was divided by historians into the beginning of an era, the era of escape, and officially opened
