Chapter 36: Turning the Qin's World into a Talent Base
Cheng Yuan then laughed and said, "I know what you're thinking. You're worried that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden might be related to beings in higher dimensions. Logically speaking, there is indeed such a possibility."
"However, I never heard of any gods or immortals emerging when I was in the higher dimensions of the Creator (the real world is the highest dimension, and what's in the book is just their speculation)."
"We've never met you before; you just appeared out of nowhere."
"Just because it hasn't appeared doesn't prove it doesn't exist, Your Excellency the Great Supreme Ruler."
The officials' brainwaves vibrated, their thoughts scattered. Cheng Yuan looked at the translated ideas on the panel in front of him, but said nothing.
The Trisolaran civilization has developed a brainwave shielding and filtering device, but the governors have all unanimously chosen to open it to Cheng Yuan.
There is no need to hide or conceal our thoughts before the great Supreme Leader!
The Trisolaran Prime Minister asked, "Your Excellency, if the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is indeed a being from a higher dimension, will our entry into this plane provoke her displeasure?"
Cheng Yuan looked at the Trisolaran Prime Minister and smiled, "There are countless worlds in the myriad realms with myths and legends about higher dimensions. Are we supposed to avoid them every time we encounter one?"
"Moreover, it cannot be proven that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is necessarily related to higher dimensions; it is only a conjecture."
Cheng Yuan looked at all the governors: "I'm giving you a choice. If anyone is afraid of being attacked by higher dimensions, you can go to the Alien dimension and stay there for the rest of your life. With the technology that civilization currently possesses, the Alien dimension can allow you to live a peaceful life. You can choose now."
Without the governor making this choice, would it necessarily be safe to go to the Alien universe?
It's still possible that it could be attacked from a higher dimension.
Only by constantly moving forward, moving forward, moving forward, can we elevate ourselves from low dimensions to high dimensions, or master the technology to face attacks from high-dimensional beings without fear.
The only path left for them is the path of the Supreme Ruler, who is the sun of the Trisolaran civilization.
The Trisolaran prime minister quickly explained, "Your Excellency, Supreme Ruler, I am not afraid..."
Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Prime Minister, there's no need to explain. I know you're just asking a reasonable question logically, and I don't mean to blame you."
"I'm giving you choices not out of any emotion, but out of genuine feeling. It's perfectly normal for some people to not want to move forward anymore during the process."
The Trisolaran Prime Minister said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency Supreme Ruler. We will always follow you!"
Other consuls also chimed in, saying, "Your Excellency Supreme Consul, we will forever follow you!"
If they hadn't witnessed the scenery of other dimensions and known of the existence of higher dimensions of the creator, they might not have made this choice, but now they know and have seen it.
Cheng Yuan said, "Since no one has chosen to leave, I will continue. Given the possibility that the goddess Jiutian Xuannü exists, we must proceed with caution and prudence at the outset of our actions in the Qin Dynasty world."
"Be prepared to be attacked from across dimensions or even across planes at any time. The latter is difficult to defend against, but the former can still be defended against, evaded, and even countered."
"If we can coexist peacefully with that Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, that would be even better, but if we cannot coexist, we must be prepared to wage war against her."
"Personally, I hope to bring this god into our camp and form an alliance. Furthermore, I also hope to develop this plane into our subordinate plane."
"For a civilization to develop, the most important thing is talent. Only a sufficient number of diverse talents can promote the rapid development of a civilization."
"If we want to develop, it's not enough for us to rely on ourselves alone; we also need to absorb talent from other civilizations and other races."
"The Qin Dynasty world is a pretty good world for talent cultivation. This world is still in the feudal era, where the high-ranking nobles do not treat the common people as human beings. The common people live worse than livestock, so we have a very good foundation to establish a positive and glorious image."
"As long as we overthrow those kings and nobles and provide reasonable and correct guidance to the people of this world, we can surely make this dimension a talent training base for us."
This was also something Cheng Yuan wanted to accomplish in the Qin Shi world. He didn't want to flirt with Yan Lingji or Zi Nu. He wanted to gather all the talents in the Qin Shi world and make them his own.
Eliminate the tyranny of the heavens, the world belongs to the Trisolarans, establish the Alliance of the Heavens, and ascend from the lower dimensions to the higher dimensions.
The governors tacitly refrained from asking the Supreme Governor why he chose the people here instead of the Earth civilization in the Trisolaran universe or the human civilization in the Alien universe.
The human civilizations in those two planes have been so severely corrupted by the power of higher dimensions that most of their minds are no longer normal. They're the kind of people you'd be afraid of bringing a virus on board: What legitimate interstellar civilization would be using ordinary firearms to fight aliens hand-to-hand?
What? You're saying that's not a warship, but just a civilian spaceship?
They've already started interstellar colonization; even civilian spaceships should have more advanced weaponry. Besides, an alien can corrode the spaceship's hull with a single spit; this spaceship is probably made of paper...
Of course, this can't really be blamed on the human civilizations of the two dimensions; it's simply that lower dimensions can't resist the powerful beings of higher dimensions.
According to the records of the officials, Cheng Yuan said: "After overthrowing the old kings and nobles of the Qin Dynasty, the most important aspect of the established order is fairness. Everyone is equal in terms of human dignity, regardless of their status or wealth."
"We should provide assistance to the people of the Qin Dynasty world, distribute food to the hungry, and treat the sick, but we must not provide assistance to the point that they can do nothing but lie comfortably and receive our aid."
The saying "a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor breeds resentment" is very likely to occur. In that case, the Trisolaran civilization will not be seen as a god who saved them, but as an enemy.
The Trisolaran civilization has no need for such a lazy, parasitic, and blood-sucking garbage civilization.
"We must guide them to be self-reliant and establish an order where those who are capable receive more and those who do not work receive nothing, and resources are distributed to workers according to their contributions, with exceptions for the elderly, the sick, the weak, and the disabled. We should provide them with education, but we cannot open up all of the science and technology of civilization to them, establish levels, and set conditions."
What is easily obtained is often not cherished; it is usually only after hard work that it is truly valued.
"Remember, we're here to make this plane our talent development base, not to support lazy people. For those more outstanding geniuses, once we've confirmed they'll be on our side, we can relax the technological restrictions on them as appropriate."
Cheng originally intended to develop the Qin Shi world into a talent training base, but he did not want to cultivate a group of lazy people, let alone a group of lazy people who, despite eating Trisolaran food and wearing Trisolaran clothing, did not thank Trisolarans but instead hated the Trisolaran civilization.
Cheng Yuan has only one attitude towards this kind of person: zero tolerance.
This is no ordinary lazy person; we have to take strong measures.
The Trisolaran Prime Minister said, "Your Excellency Supreme Ruler, please rest assured that we will definitely prevent this from happening."
Cheng Yuan nodded: "That concludes the first topic. Now let's move on to the second topic: the future direction of civilization."
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuan uttered a statement that sent shockwaves through the minds of all the officials.
"In my opinion, the development path of the Trisolaran civilization is not entirely correct and needs to be corrected."
