Yu Lian was indeed smiling, and it was a casual and cynical smile. He was probably joking.
But the problem is, although he is laughing, his words seem to contain some kind of indescribable chill. However, the evil spirit flashes away in the joking tone, so fast that Babalu feels
That's an illusion.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Captain, I don't quite understand, why are you doing this?"
"what why?"
"My master said that everyone and every group has their own pursuit. Our pursuit is to guard the Red Maple Factory, see it regain its glory, and see that all the children of the Red Maple Factory are prosperous.
To be happy. What the gentlemen of Xingsheng Company want is to make money. The military representatives and the government only hope to stabilize Lumina's people. It would be better if they could provide some high-quality and low-priced Taishi alloy. As long as everyone pursues
If we can be consistent, there will be no disadvantages. But if everyone's pursuits cannot be integrated and compromised, then we can only fall into conflict."
Yu Lian sighed with regret again: "It is really my lifelong regret that I couldn't talk to Mr. Tom Wyeth all night long!"
Teacher Li is right, there are always capable people, hidden heroes, and hidden wise men among the people. It is really a pity that such wise men are not seen.
Babalu showed a proud smile. For him, Mr. Tom Wyeth was not only a master's master in craftsmanship, but he probably also played the role of a life mentor.
"Some people also said this during the old man's funeral," he said.
Yu Lian was a little curious.
"He is a very famous writer! None of us thought that he would come to attend the old man's funeral. It is Mr. Qi Bingwen, but I don't like reading very much, so I don't know how powerful he is."
Is he the one who came to the Cathay Embassy with a watermelon knife and blocked the door? He can no longer be described as famous! In this universe, that gentleman is a combination of Alexandre Dumas and Marquez.
Ah! And he is not particularly old now. Who knows if he will evolve into Tolstoy and Tagore one day?
All in all, it can definitely be regarded as one of the most famous cultural business cards of people on earth.
"Mr. Qi said that when he was young, he once came to Lumina to collect information, and he became good friends with the old man. Hearing that the old man was in poor health, he rushed over from the empire, but unfortunately he still could not see him for the last time."
The literary uncle is now the ambassador of the community to the empire. Of course, he actually plays more of a mascot role. There are not too many administrative tasks that he really needs to handle personally, so he can leave his duty without permission and go to such a place.
Attend the funeral of an old worker on a remote planet.
Of course, the current atmosphere of the cosmic civilization already gives too much preferential treatment to geniuses. If you are more willful, others will think that this is just a talent of a real celebrity.
Speaking of which, Mr. Qi is indeed a very interesting person. Yu Lian had read his books in his previous life, but he didn’t know much about his life style. After all, before he grew up in his previous life, Mr. Qi personally
Ended his life...
... I really need to find a reason to have a chat with this literary giant. Life is so wonderful, how can we waste it carelessly?
"Everyone has their own pursuits. But, Captain, what are you pursuing?"
"People like you have a great future and must have ambitious goals. We all feel that people like you should sit on the Independence and command all the fleets of the community."
"I just helped you restore the factory. What gave you such an illusion?" Yu Lian said with a smile.
"Those who can manage the factory well must manage the fleet well. This is what the old man said."
I feel more and more sorry...
"For people like you, staying in such a small factory for one more day would be a waste of life." Babaru said.
Because I really like it here! I like this place that is infinitely close to my real hometown in my previous life. If I hadn’t been able to waste the sense of mission I have imposed on myself for three generations, I might have stayed here for the rest of my life.
"Have you forgotten my main job? I am a revolutionary!" Yu Lian patted his chest and said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Before that, he really wasn't qualified to say such a thing. However, seeing the roaring and shining factory in the distance, and seeing the increasing smiles of the two hundred thousand people in Maple City, Yu Lian was more or less still
Feeling a little more confident.
You never said that! Besides, what is revolution? Whose life is revolutionized?
Babalu looked at Yu Lian blankly, unable to turn his head.
Yu Lian paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Every intelligent life individual has different levels of needs. First of all, it is the need to ensure basic survival. At least food that can fill the stomach can provide shelter from wind and rain.
A place to live, clothes that can keep you warm and cover your shame. Then, there is the need for safety. The right to live freely without being infringed or insulted at will."
Babalu felt that what he said made sense. He and his workers' committee had worked hard to this day for this purpose.
"Then, there is the need for belonging and emotion. So far, the intelligent creatures that make up the galactic civilized society that we know are all social animals and emotional animals. With his own belonging, he can
real"
Babalu still thinks it makes sense, which is why he has been guarding the Red Maple Factory. He must leave everyone a home where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.
"As long as you have these three levels, you will live like a human being."
"...Captain, these are already good days that most people can't even dream of! In fact, our Red Maple Factory is pretty good. At least there will be other tribes coming to exchange food and clothing with us.
But even so, no one can fill their stomachs. But in some places, I heard the old man say it before... Hey, in short, it is really cruel beyond your imagination!"
Babalu probably felt that Mr. Captain, a proud man with a great future, no matter how noble or powerful he was, was still living in the clouds, so he should not pollute his ears with things in the mud.
It must be said that this is a very considerate approach, as long as it is considerate enough to make Yu Lian feel a little angry.
Is there anything this hero has never seen before?
Yu Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, but said: "Then, isn't it wrong for the world to make most people live less than human beings? When people are wrong, they stand upright and get beaten. When the world is wrong, they torture the world.
Get him back on track!"
Yes, this is wrong. But why did I take him for granted before? Babalu thought.
He suddenly realized that he might have stood at the door of some kind of truth, just waiting for the last step.
"Then, there are the last two levels. The need for respect, whether it is respecting others or being respected by others! And whether you can successfully realize your self-worth!" Yu Lian looked at the worker leader who was already deep in thought and slowed down his speech.
Rhythm: "If every intelligent individual can fully satisfy the first three needs, and has the motivation and hope to pursue the last two needs at any time, then my career will be considered a success!"
"I really... can't imagine such a world."
"It's hard for me to imagine! Even saying that I don't expect it to be possible in my lifetime."
"But moving in that direction is my career. Being a professional military officer in the community, as well as psychics, etc., are all my jobs and side jobs. Don't forget! My main job is to be a revolutionary!
"
You've never said that, right? Also, what does "revolution" mean?
It is true that Babalu has never heard of this word, but he always feels that as soon as he hears it, there is a burning fire in his heart.
"Of course, all this is a thing for later! You can think about it slowly and make a decision before it's too late." Yu Lian smiled and said: "Let's get back to business. If you keep me today, you should not only be from Xingsheng Company.
Is it something?"
What decision should I make? And after you said these words, you suddenly felt that other things were really not worth mentioning.
Babalu was in a state of excitement for a long time. He straightened his mood and organized his words before he said: "The tide of beasts in the past two days is a bit unreasonable. This season is when the autumn grass is the most lush, so there shouldn't be any
It’s a beast tide! Moreover, a beast tide of this scale is too unscientific. There must be something fishy in this!”
Therefore, this strange thing is probably what Babaru wants to tell himself.
"Before you came, someone came to Red Maple Factory once... It was my former friend and a descendant of Red Maple Factory. His name was Colmo."
Yu Lian was a little surprised. He had heard of this name, either in the previous life or in this life. He was one of the leaders of the Rumina rebels, a gangster with an eight-figure bounty. However, he really did not expect that this
This guy was actually born in Hongfeng Factory.
According to Babalu's introduction, this man named Kolmo was not only a child of the Red Maple Factory, he was also the most famous "other people's child" in Maple City. If he hadn't gone astray, this worker would have
The chairmanship of the committee must not be Babalu's turn.
Kolmo's father is a worker at the Red Maple Factory, but their family is a very prestigious and long-standing clan among the Rumina people. It has also produced many tribal chiefs, warrior chiefs, master hunters and sky priests.
Big shot. Moreover, the relationship between the members of this clan is also very close. It is said that there is a little bit of kinship relationship with the extinct Sero royal family that cannot be confirmed or falsified.
So, after Kolmo's father, a worker, passed away, his uncles from the clan discussed it and felt that it was a pity that such a talented young man should be wasted, so they pooled together a sum of money, plus everyone from the Red Maple Factory
With help, he was sent to study abroad in his empire.
"We all thought he would learn a lot of skills and come to help the Red Maple Factory. The old man also had high hopes for him and mobilized everyone to donate! Even I donated 1,000 yuan to him!"
It doesn't sound like much, and I can't even book an afternoon tea with Zhixia and Liuli. But you know, Hongfeng Factory hasn't paid wages for ten years, and the workers' families have earned their own cash from side jobs. They have
Occasionally, I have to carry some souvenirs from Planet Lumina to New Seville for the market.
It would be impossible to go further. After all, the Rumina people are a race with the characteristic of "relocating to a new home"!
Kolmo is more talented than his hometown and clan elders imagined. Not only did he get an engineering degree, but he also awakened to psychic powers.
Everyone was very touched, and what was even more touching was that he declined the solicitation from a certain imperial noble and decided to return to his hometown, just like an overseas wanderer. He returned from his studies and served the positive story of his hometown.
He did return to Lumina, but instead of returning to Red Maple Factory, he joined the Lumina rebels.
There is evidence that he even personally planned and organized several large-scale terrorist activities and rebellions, causing considerable losses in personnel, so he was directly put on the wanted list of the Community government.
Because of this guy's birth, the intelligence department even suspected that the Red Maple Factory had any relationship with the rebels and sent people to investigate.
We all know that the investigative methods of the intelligence agencies have never been very reasonable and compliant, let alone friendly. Of course, the workers at the Red Maple Factory were all rebellious masters. At that time, they even represented the most violent organization in the country.
We have fought against military representatives and dealt with murderous pirates who were armed with live ammunition. Are they afraid of you hawks and dogs?
Of course, that conflict ended with the intelligence agency's embarrassing retreat, but the Red Maple Factory did not suffer any losses.
Of course, young workers like Babalu have no good impression of the Community government. Of course, they are disgusted and even hate the real culprit Babalu.
"We are funding him, not to let him become a terrorist!" Babalu gritted his teeth and said: "Studying is for understanding, but why does that guy keep reading more and more?"
"Because the line is wrong. The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you will be!" Yu Lian said this in a matter-of-fact tone.
Then, before the other party fell into deep thought again, he added: "So, do you think that this strange beast tide has something to do with him?"
"It may not necessarily have a direct relationship with him, but it must have something to do with the current situation of Lumina." Babaru thought about it seriously and then said: "He came to the factory to see me once on the day you arrived.
. I hope that no matter what happens, we will remain neutral. I guess that he, his rebels, and the cultists must be causing something big!"
Yu Lian nodded. Even if they don't do big things, he must let them do big things. Otherwise, why are he pretending to be so hard?
If we don't cause something big, how can we live up to the Lumina Galaxy, which is so popular now?
Of course, there is no need to tell Babalu about this kind of thing.
Of course, Kolmo has not only come here once. As a rebel leader, of course he has been trying to win over Babaru, and told him that "if the Rumina people still follow the people on Earth, they will have no future."
Babalu responded to the other party like this: "Those big guys above who are squeezing us are all Earthlings. But, aren't the people in this city who are working hard with me to maintain our hometown and our factories still Earthlings?"
I don’t quite understand why this is happening! But right now, I just want to protect our factory.”
Kolmo said: "But how long can you protect us? We Rumina people still lived in trees and mountains hundreds of years ago. We have no own heritage, no own history, no own
Tradition has nothing but the phantom of the so-called sky god. We are destined to be unable to stand independently in this forest of galactic civilizations. In this case, why not stand on the stronger side?"
It turns out that guy is a leader of the empire! This is quite new. Yu Lian thought.
There is no blood feud between the Earth people and the Lumina people, but the Lumina people were used as slaves by the Empire. There are countless people who died in the mines, farms and even the arena.
"That's right! No matter how sorry the people on earth say they are to us, they don't feel that there are too many of them anymore."
"You are wrong. It's not that the people of Earth are sorry for you, but that the meat-eaters of Earth are sorry for the ordinary people of Rumina. They are also sorry for the ordinary people of Earth. In fact, there are no national conflicts here, but only class conflicts."
It was also the first time that Babalu heard the word "class", but he only thought about it for a few seconds and immediately understood it.
"But the empire is different. Not to mention the nobles and citizens, even ordinary citizens of the empire, if you kill a Rumina, they will only be accompanied by two pig legs. Facing the big shots in the community,
The most I can do is bow and call them sir... However, if it were the empire, wouldn’t I have to kneel down and call them master?”
Having said this, Yu Lian shrugged: "You are still young! I have not experienced that era personally, and I have no intuitive experience at all. It is easy for young people studying abroad to get lost in the lights and feasting. If they do not have sufficient self-understanding,
With a firm outlook on life, it is easy to get lost on the road of life.”
"Yes, that's the truth! I wish I had known you earlier. Then I could shut up that guy! Every time I hear that guy keep talking, I know there is something wrong with what he said but I can't refute it.
That taste is really unpleasant! "
Yu Lian also smiled and asked: "But you didn't inform the military and the government about these things. Then why did you tell me?"
"I don't believe in the military, nor the Earth government...but I want to believe you. I believe you can give a good end to these past grudges. Then, we are willing to believe you and follow you." Babaru
He pondered for a moment and patted his chest hard: "Young man here, and me, just use it! As long as there is a way to get weapons, I can help you pull out 10,000 militiamen in three to five days.
!”
He thought for a moment and then added: "It's hard to say that the Marines can fight better than the Guards!"
Yu Lian really wanted to ask what gave you such courage, but considering that this man has always been a very reliable boss, it shouldn't be bragging.
It is no wonder that the working class has always been the best soldier.
But even so, there is no need to be so radical. Even if we want to arm you, it is not now!
Just as Yu Liang was about to say this, the communication terminal rang three times, and then the call was connected directly, but it was Feifei calling.
"Yu'er, come to the company headquarters. Someone from the Suppression Headquarters is here again."
"...You're not here to forcibly requisition supplies this time, are you?"
"If you are here, we can have a good discussion. Where does the force come from?" Feifei said with a smile.
