"Teacher, I'm not a narrow nationalist. I'm not even human. So I can't be like you, because my surname and blood relationship have such a high sense of identity with ancient China. I can only make an independent analysis of the objective facts that have happened in history from my personal point of view."

"Facts have proved that during the development period of ancient China, there were indeed many fighting heroes who were brave and fearless and looked back to death. In peacetime, we can also see many ancient Chinese soldiers, medical personnel, firefighters and rescue workers who knew that there were tigers on the mountain and preferred to go on the tiger mountain."

"In ancient China, people didn't ask leaders to make a fuss about their salary before they set out for the rescue task that needed to race against the clock. They always wanted to finish what they could and should do first, and then consider other things. Those ancestors always knew clearly what kind of battle was the important battle and what situation had to be fought with their lives. When it was necessary, someone would always stand out from the very end Come on. For a moment, he may still be a mortal, but the next second, he will become a warrior who can block the machine gun with his chest. "

"After the end of World War II, under the difficulties of domestic and foreign aggression, ancient China completed the 150 year road of other countries in 70 years and completed the largest post-modern industrialization process in human history. All this is not a blessing from heaven. It is indeed a civilization miracle jointly completed by all people in this country."

"There is no fruit without cause. There must be a reason for the birth of miracles. This reason is due to the historical precipitation that ancient China has never cut off. It gives people who grow up in this history and culture the sympathy of compatriots who can surpass life and death, the spirit of sacrifice and fearless courage that others seem unreasonable. It is so thick that it can become a common group that eventually breeds the whole human civilization The cradle of physical wisdom. "

"The fertile soil of 5000 years of history has fostered a true sense of solidarity across social strata. This solidarity transcends nationality, color and belief. Naturally, it can be invincible and invincible. It can open mountains in case of mountains and control floods in case of floods. This solidarity is different from the" freedom, peace and love "painted on the lips of people in other systems dominated by capital at that time. Here, we focus on the vision of the whole civilization Under the guidance of unity, ancient China, which gradually became the world leader, did not indulge in hegemony, but always self-discipline with a high sense of responsibility and the interests of the whole civilization as the highest criterion. "

"Of course, in the transitional period of civilization from the 21st century to the 22nd century, some biased ideological trends were born in ancient China. However, these ideological trends are harmless and cannot shake the root. Fortunately, at this stage, the sage became the supreme spiritual leader in the fields of science and technology, economy, politics and military. His high degree of self-restraint and self-restraint are firm anyway The strategy of "a bowl of water is flat" has played an extremely key role in the unity of civilizations. "

"He not only insisted on telling the truth and doing the truth, but also was not afraid of being slandered by others. He insisted on treating the backward who failed to keep up with the ideological realm in time with a generous and kind attitude. At the same time, he maintained absolute superiority at all levels, built an overwhelming power system and effectively prevented unstable factors."

"Time has proved the correctness of the sages, and also proved that the ideology of the ancient people has the highest characteristics of the times, the most visionary foresight, and the strongest sense of civilized mission."

"I don't deny the height of the sage's thought. But I think the sage himself is only one individual in the Chinese civilization. His thought is based on his life experience and cultural attribute. His life experience and cultural attribute are also based on the historical precipitation of the ancient country."

"It is the thick historical and cultural soil of ancient China that first gave birth to the personality of the sages, and finally there will be the sages themselves, the epitome of human civilization and thought. Without the sages, there will be no present. But there is no past and no sages."

Tang Xiaao, who was too precocious, expounded his comprehensive outlook on life and society to Zhou Dong from his personal point of view.

Zhou Donglai gave some other meanings from Zhongpin, "Xiao Tang, do you mean that the leader of mankind is not the individual sage, but the history of ancient China?"

"No. teacher, it's back to the philosophical speculation of chicken or egg. I think in the key historical stage, it still needs a great leader with extraordinary and refined strategic thought such as the sage to complete the mission of unified will. After all, if the group wisdom is regarded as an individual, the level of consideration is not deep enough."

"Civilization needs scientific leaders, opinion leaders, ideological leaders, military leaders, political leaders, business leaders and other leaders who really have a sense of responsibility, mission and ability to help ordinary people improve their thinking depth, so as to avoid the waste of resources as much as possible. This resource includes not only material and energy in the narrow sense, but also everyone's limited life in the broad sense Free time. "

"In the past, we were lucky because there was a sage. He had all the characteristics needed by all the above types of leaders, so he was a great leader."

"But in our fleet, the former military leader is general Qin, and now it's you, the personal ability leader is teacher Tong, and the scientific leader is Emerson... Unfortunately, even though teacher Tong has made extraordinary achievements, she still can't be compared with the sages."

"Teacher, the influence of you and others in the fleet is still not as good as that of the sage. This is the core reason for the outbreak of civil strife. Civil strife has indeed improved the average military quality of the fleet, which is our harvest. But if there is a second sage in the fleet, maybe we will perform better in the last battle without civil strife."

Zhou Donglai replied, "yes. We need leaders like sages. Unfortunately... Forget it. It's too late today. Xiao Tang, you have to rest early."

Zhou Donglai hung up his communication, opened his personal diary system and began to quickly enter his reflection and summary.

The original intention of the talk between his teachers and disciples today was to cultivate Tang Xiaao. Instead, he was awakened again.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Donglai opened the internal information system again, consulted the Empire weekly just received one tenth of a second ago, and looked through the latest scientific research progress and the comprehensive briefing of the leadership on current politics, military, economy and other core contents.

After a long time, Zhou Donglai sighed and said to himself, "it's really not going to work like this."

The birth of leaders such as Chen Feng has too much chance, and there is no possibility of replication.

To borrow the words of the sage Chen Feng.

According to unofficial records, he once said this at a small gathering of the salvation founding team: "I can't help it, and I don't want to lift myself so high. I've even tried very hard to weaken my sense of existence. But I must share what I get from the future in advance and lead civilization forward. Now it's an information society, and even I can't hide the truth under the cover of the sand of time forever."

"What I do will be discovered and studied by historians of later generations, and I will be fascinated. I can't stop this. After my death, as long as the war between mankind and the compound eye is not over and mankind has not yet stepped out of the Milky way and entered the real era of the universe, it is theoretically impossible for humans to have more characters than me."

"It doesn't just depend on my ability and talent, but because I, as a repeater of civilization, have done too much connecting work. Before the advent of the universe, others' workload and achievements can't surpass me. I don't want this. I believe you don't want to, but this is an objective fact and can't be changed."

In short, the objective facts mean that after the sage Chen Feng entered the state of embryonic resurrection and disappeared together with the whole primitive Gene Research Institute, mankind had to enter the era of no real leader without a leader.

This is the case in the headquarters of the Empire and in the nameless fleet.

It is undeniable that many great figures have been born in the long years and vast territory, such as * * *, Lai Wenming, Sergei, Qin Guang and Yang Guoding, as well as Tong Ling, Emerson and Zhou Donglai, as well as Orpheus cage and Solent cage, who are short but have indeed left a strong mark in the history of the fleet.

These people have their own achievements, which can not be underestimated.

However, no matter how extreme, what they study is some fields, and the scope of their research is limited to historians in some specific periods, they can't juxtapose these names with sages.

Some people may think that in each time line in the past, mankind has experienced a similar leadership window period, which has also come over.

But the past "success" is not worth emulating, because no matter what progress mankind has made in the past nine time lines, it is still defeated in the end.

Here we still quote the original words of the sage Chen Feng himself, "there is no need to sophistry when you become a king and defeat an enemy. There is no essential difference in the results between a beautiful defeat and a humble defeat. As long as you lose, it proves that you must have done enough and need to be improved."

Now, the times are different.

Under different current circumstances, human civilization must put forward new needs for itself.

Whether it is the social pattern or talent demand, and then to the leader culture, we must keep pace with the times.

In the past, humans were locked in the solar system by the dome until the eighth timeline.

At that time, although mankind knew almost nothing about the enemy's situation, it was this ignorance that saved trouble, so that people didn't have time to think about it in their hearts. They just thought that it was a little more to complete more work, and there was no unrealistic expectation for the future.

In the ninth timeline that has just passed, the situation has become a little more complicated, and there have been many disturbances in external colonies.

But at that time, mankind was still pessimistic and had no vision for the future.

There has never been a core team undertaking the same level of major tasks as the nameless fleet.

The era value of shadow galaxies can be roughly comparable to that of the unknown fleet, but the development mode of shadow galaxies is highly similar to that of the solar system in the previous eight time lines, there is no large-scale chaos, and the fault tolerance rate brought by the characteristics of Galaxy civilization is much higher than that of the unknown fleet.

But this time, Zhou Donglai looked at the overall situation a little and found that the anxious war was different from the desperate war that had been losing in the past timeline.

At present, mankind can neither see the hope of winning in the short term, nor can it be defeated quickly. In the process of continuous entanglement and fighting between the two sides, the trend of human social ideology and structure has become more complex.

The anxious war situation in the front-line galaxy is itself a trap.

In the process of blinding the compound eye and aiming at confrontation with each other, human beings further quickly absorb each other's core science and technology. At the same time, they also use the war experience and technology obtained from the front line in the rear to complete the scientific and technological reserve, and quickly transform it into a continuously improving military force, waiting to give each other a hard blow.

But obviously, judging from the devouring insects and hive ships encountered by the nameless fleet, the compound eye has never completely opened the real card in the previous confrontation and even in the long war of the past nine time lines.

Many people should understand that human beings are not necessarily victorious, but unconsciously, human beings have also jumped into the pit they dug for the compound eye.

This pit is not a conspiracy at the tactical level or a conspiracy at the strategic level, but an ideological trap at a higher level involving the ideological trend.

Looking at all mankind, no one can be alone.

Unknowingly, too many people began to have a wrong understanding in their hearts, thinking that human beings did not go all out, so they could see and pull out moves against the compound eyed people and even the slave legions stronger than the main edge ships in the past, and felt that human beings had mastered the way to win.

No one denies the human experience of defeat in the nihilistic history, but the invisible nihilistic history is indeed shallower than the real history, and can not form enough thinking brand.

And these people, instilled by the consciousness left by Chen Feng, more firmly recognize the superiority of mankind as the core race of the universe.

In the past, when the string that had been stretched towards death relaxed, it was easy to breed overconfidence.

Self confidence is not a bad thing, but overconfidence will lead to relaxation.

This is wrong.

The correct situation should be like this.

When there is no doubt that you will lose, blind self-confidence can be exciting.

But when there is a real chance to win, we should reclaim our self-confidence and remain in awe of other advanced civilizations born in the boundless universe.

Everyone knows the truth, but the subtlety of the people's heart is that it is easier to know than to do.

The emergence of escapism, known as free will, which can survive blindly and confidently going out, is a very obvious manifestation.

Within the Empire, although there are many great think tanks with strong executive power, such as the imperial government, the salvation organization, the Institute of space-time topology, the Institute of sages and so on, which control the overall situation, and the improvement of per capita gene arousal has also brought greater innovation ability and productivity, the problems have gradually been exposed, but the degree is not obvious when the unknown fleet is in civil strife, Differences are also slightly smaller.

In the Empire, most people still care about the overall interests of civilization, but many people are still content with pleasure.

The escapism of excessive inferiority and conceit is still budding.

There are even various scientific and unscientific sects in some star regions.

Under the complete imperial republic system, different vassal systems have been produced in some star regions according to different natural and cultural environments, including military system, republic system, parliamentary system, religious system, scientific religious system, scientific system, industrial system, agricultural system, entertainment system and so on.

Many different systems were mixed together to form a pot of imperial Republic.

This complex overall environment is shaking the unified will of mankind.

This is not only a blunt knife to cut flesh, but also a potential crisis of human internal division and disintegration.

This is inevitable. Because human thinking has uncertainty and infinite randomness.

Short life span is both an advantage and a disadvantage of human beings. It is difficult for people on earth to clone immortality to keep their ideology unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years.

Nowadays, the people in the war zone and the people in the rear gradually have ideological differences, and this difference is becoming more and more intense due to the different cognition and ethnic character of all ethnic groups.

Many people of insight have realized the problem, and even many people turn to Zhou Donglai, a group of fleet members who have experienced turbulence.

This problem really bothered Zhou Donglai for several months, which was also the reason why he discussed with Tang Xiaao.

Zhou Donglai once again began to reflect on the causes and consequences of the last civil strife.

He believes that although the teacher Qin Guang made the plan and he himself implemented it, there is no doubt that Tong Ling is the key to turning the world around.

It is Tong Ling's existence that the fleet can stabilize the situation at the critical moment.

The reason why the follow-up work can be carried out smoothly is also closely related to Tong Ling's strong strength and unshakable lofty position in the eyes of all fleet members.

Successfully withstood civil unrest, the fleet not only completed military training, but also re strengthened the functions of the management system, and made the fleet members clearly aware of the nature of society, the value of faith, and the relationship between individuals and groups.

After the civil strife, the members of the fleet regained their dialectical outlook on life and learned to face up to responsibility.

In the key battle after the successful implementation of the fleet Republic, there was no coercion, no power, let alone suspicion, and everyone united as one.

Everyone knows that no matter whether they move forward for different beliefs or not, they must move forward and move towards eternity.

Because of this, the fleet can escape from the mortal situation created by the devouring insects and the hive ship.

Now the fleet has been divided into parts, and everyone's troops are divided into 12000 routes. However, under the stronger cohesion created by the fleet Republic, Qin Guang is emotionally willing to believe that others can meet in 2960, but reason is telling him that he has to do something to prevent change.

Forty years in the slow-paced ancient times is enough to change dynasties, let alone today.

So Zhou Donglai thinks his thinking is not only feeding the Empire, but also helping himself.

Zhou Donglai kept thinking for a long time. He took notes while thinking, and finally wrote a paragraph by hand.

"Only great leaders can become the spiritual pillar of mortals, and enable mortals with biased opinions and limited ability to embark on the right path without knowing all the truth."

"Mankind needs leaders. What leaders leave to mankind is not only those tangible achievements, but an indelible spiritual power."

"A truly great leader is hard won and needs too many factors to meet the standards, such as favorable conditions of time, place and people. In the long river of time, civilization must face the shortage of leaders, so at least inherit the spiritual power left by leaders."

"The transmission of spiritual power should be between people and cannot rely on artificial intelligence. Because artificial intelligence itself lacks emotion, nature will not teach everyone the real spiritual attribute."

"But what should we do to engrave the brand of spirit in people's hearts?"
