Chapter 226 Sword Holder

"The voting rate used to be on the verge of 90%. It has only increased to the current level in recent years. In other words, it was only after the birth of the Star Alliance that such a high voting rate was achieved."

"Ninety percent was very high in ancient times." Cheng Xin nodded and said, "But it's definitely incomparable to now. This is really an unimaginable era."

"The reason for the surge is because in the past, Starfleet did not seek the advice of voters and insisted on sending all Star Destroyers to contact the water droplets for the sake of face-saving projects, which resulted in heavy losses."

"So in order to prevent the tragedy of the Doomsday War, most bills will now be put to referendum to prevent political shows like contact with water droplets from happening again." Ai AA explained.

Although all mankind supported welcoming the water droplets at the time, after the Starfleet was destroyed, people quickly blamed the top brass of the three fleets, scolding them for being stupid enough to believe that the Trisolaran probe was harmless.

Fortunately, people in this era are highly educated and can look at problems more rationally, so a purge of the highest levels of the three major fleets was avoided.

"A very reasonable system that maximizes the advantages of super-informatization." Cheng Xin praised: "This is really a beautiful era. I never thought that humans would be able to have this day."

"I thought you would think that this era lacks authority, and you actually like modern society?" Ai AA asked curiously. She knew about Cheng Xin's past in World No. 2.

"In that era, there was not such an advanced Internet of Things, and there were not so many high-quality members of the public. We needed an authority to lead everyone." Cheng Xin laughed.

"But necessary authority is indispensable. Trust me, authority is always indispensable." Cheng Xin suddenly looked into Ai AA's eyes and said seriously.

"For example, now we suddenly have a fight with the Trisolarans. They attack the gravitational wave transmitter with water droplets, which will make humans lose their deterrent capabilities in a very short period of time. At this time, it is too late to rely on a referendum to make a decision."

"So we have the sword holder, which is the necessary authority, and she will perform deterrence when the water droplets try to attack the gravitational wave transmitter." Ai AA explained.

"Sword holder?" After hearing about this weird position, Cheng Xin asked curiously, "They. He alone is responsible for controlling the entire deterrence system?"

"Yes, the deterrence system is controlled by the sword holder, and only the sword holder can operate the deterrence system. Only the sword holder is needed to complete the entire deterrent process." Ai AA explained.

"Don't we need a nuclear strike review team and multi-process inspection similar to those in ancient times?" Cheng Xin asked.

"It's too late. As you said, with the speed of water droplets, the gravitational wave transmitter can be destroyed within 15 minutes. Any redundant processing process is too bloated." Ai AA said.

"So who is the current sword holder?" Cheng Xin asked curiously. Being able to control the fate of two worlds, this person must be a ruthless person among ruthless people.

"Say, you should know who she is, right?" Ai AA asked.

"Marshal Sai of the Solar System Fleet?" Cheng Xin guessed. It was unlikely that he had the same name.

"Yes, it was she who discovered the Law of the Dark Forest and deterred the Trisolarans after the Dark Battle. She is my idol." Ai AA said with admiration.

"Law of the Dark Forest?" Cheng Xin then searched the Internet and discovered this shocking thing, that is, the universe is a dark forest, with countless hunters wandering in it, preparing to attack the enemy.

Although humans have not yet observed any instances of attacks in the dark forest, the terrifying attitude of the Trisolarans can be seen just from the extremely fearful attitude.

And if you think deeply, you will find that since the Trisolarans are so fearful, it means that even their advanced technology cannot withstand the attacks of hunters, and humans are even more powerless to fight back against such terrible attacks.

It's hard to imagine how such a terrifying law was discovered by Sai. Before hibernating, Cheng Xin thought about many possibilities for humans to deal with the Trisolarans in the future.

But she did not expect this terrible strategic balance, and Cheng Xin felt horrified because of this. The darkness of this universe was indeed unimaginable. Perhaps the Trisolaran civilization and the human federation represented the right path.

Then Cheng Xin and Ai AA walked back, and several more holographic information windows floated around them on the road. One of them caught the attention of Cheng Xin, the holographic window.

First of all, it's because there is an AD human on the screen. Unlike the handsome new humans, this AD human, like Cheng Xin, is an old human who has not undergone gene editing in the embryonic stage.

In the picture, the person looks haggard, has disheveled hair, and holds a laser pistol in her hand. She is located in a dark office, and a portrait of the person herself hangs on the wall.

But her eyes seemed to reflect the morning light in the distant horizon, which looked very bright. At the same time, there was a line of subtitles below: "In her time, murder was punishable by death."

Cheng Xin felt that this person looked familiar, but when she took a closer look, the picture disappeared and was replaced by a girl giving a speech. Or perhaps because the new humans did not look older, Cheng Xin could only identify her as a girl.

"Why did people rebel against the death penalty in ancient times? The answer is because they killed people, but this is only one of the correct answers. The other answer is because too few people were killed."

"Killing one person is punishable by death, especially if you kill several dozen people. If you kill tens of thousands of people, you are a terrorist who deserves death."

"But what if there were more and hundreds of thousands of people were killed? Of course, the death penalty should be imposed, but for people with some historical knowledge, this answer is not too certain."

"Going further, what if millions of people are killed? Then it is certain that this person will not be sentenced to death, or even punished by law."

"If you don't believe me, just look at history. Those who killed more than a million people seemed to be called great men and heroes in ancient times. Furthermore, if a person killed hundreds of millions of people, then she would become the savior!"

"She's talking about Say. This should be someone from the United Democratic Association. They are a political party that was just born in recent years on earth. They have always used the trial of Say as their platform." Ai AA said.

"Why?" Cheng Xin asked curiously. She couldn't understand the need to judge a savior.

Ai AA was about to answer when suddenly a sweet voice came from beside him: "Are you Cheng Xin?"

This voice surprised Cheng Xin, because it actually came from the information window on the road. The girl inside looked at Cheng Xin in surprise and pointed at her and said, it was like meeting an old friend.

"You are the one who owns that distant world. Ah, you are really good. You brought us the beauty of that era. You are the only one who owns a world and can save this world. The public has high hopes for you!
