Li Yao and Hei Yelan looked at each other, and even he could not help but be deeply shocked by the "game society" of the new federal community a hundred years later: "So, in the current federal society, if you don't participate in the "Civilization" game seriously, it would be impossible to move forward?"

"It's not impossible to move forward, but if you accumulate a lot of contribution points and game time in the game, you will indeed take advantage of society. Apart from what you just said, the tax rate that has the greatest relationship with the people is. Playing "Civilization" can be tax-deductible."

Ling Xiaole explained, "The Star Federation is a country with high tax burden. There is no way. The new Federation has just been developing for a hundred years. There are still many planets in the seven major worlds that are in a difficult situation and are poor and have to increase investment in infrastructure. In addition, the threat of the Imperial Expeditionary Force forces us to maintain an overly powerful standing army, and the annual military expenditure is astronomical.

"So, the lives of the people in the New Federation are far from worry-free, and the basic tax rate will even reach more than 50% of the total income.

"However, generally no one really pays so much tax. You can do various tasks to reduce taxes in "Civilization". The better you play "Civilization", the lower the tax rate; and, every year, various virtual competitive competitions will be held in each region, and the champions can even be fully tax-free!"

Li Yao was confused: "Can you still reduce taxes when playing games?"

"Reiterate again and again, this is not a simple game, but a 'full simulation, cloud data, great unity, and Xinghai Light Road Aggregation Platform'. Any decision made by anyone in "Civilization" can be regarded as his 'smart property' and may provide great help to the progress of the entire 'Star Civilization'!"

Ling Xiaole said very seriously, "Isn't it reasonable to use 'wisdom property' to replace money and hand it over to the country?"

Li Yao thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was true.

In fact, more than a hundred years ago, when he proposed the idea of ​​"using the "Civilization" game to start wise", he considered the issue of public participation.

Because the higher the authenticity of "Civilization", the further it is from the original meaning of the word "game". It is composed of various massive data, which is a brain-burning operation and information processing, which is not something that ordinary players are willing to accept.

Naturally, the Federation cannot force everyone to play a boring and extremely brain-burning game, but the amount of data collected does not reach a certain level, or it may attract only a small number of "in-depth players", rather than the final output decisions, such as men, women, and young and old, without real guiding significance.

This problem once made Li Yao and others confused for a long time, and there was no good solution until he left Tianyuan and went to the depths of the dark nebula.

Unexpectedly, the new federal government only used the two tricks of "high school entrance examination" and "tax deduction rate" to completely solve it. It's really... amazing!

Ling Xiaole smiled and said, "Those just now are considered relatively practical benefits. The next one is the most critical 'honor', which is the citizenship of the Starry Federation.

"Like the empire, the Federation also pays attention to the 'citizen contribution point' system. Only when the contribution point reaches a certain level can one become a true citizen and enjoy the power to determine the future of the country.

"However, the 'citizen contribution point' of the real human empire requires completing various difficult, dangerous and complex tasks to earn, such as hunting ferocious beasts on untapped planets with poor environments, and how can ordinary people do it if they seem to be "fair"?

"The Federation also has this type of mission. For example, as an "advance team", exploring unknown resource planets can earn a lot of contribution points. Even if the general public cannot complete these dangerous tasks, they can accumulate contribution points through various tasks in "Civilization" and learn how to be a qualified "citizen"!

"Yes, in the eyes of our federal people, the word "citizen" is supreme, representing great glory and heavy responsibility, and is even more glorious than the word "cultivator"!

"The two should know that since the collapse of the Star Sea Empire ten thousand years ago, hundreds of civilizations have emerged in the broken galaxy. Many civilizations have adopted elections or even referendums to determine the future, but their endings are very regrettable.

"It's not that the election is bad, but even if the election is inefficient, the real question is how to make the public understand that the tiny little power they hold is crucial to the entire civilization!

"The Supreme Speaker of the Federation was also elected, but we do not believe that anyone who was born with the power to determine the future of civilization is selfish. Untrained people are always short-sighted. A large number of untrained people gather together will not only be short-sighted, but simply a group of mobs.

"This 'moon' refers to not only ordinary people, but even cultivators, even the old Nascent Soul monsters, are also thugs and do not deserve votes before receiving corresponding political, economic, social and cultural training.

"I am not targeting anyone here. However, in the late period of the Xinghai Republic, under the control of the parliament controlled by countless cultivators, demons like the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi emerged. He easily seized the power of the parliament. After being the supreme leader of the Xinghai Republic for a while, it can be seen that the "cultivator" and "citizens" cannot be naturally equal.

"I'm just talking so directly, uncle, don't you mind?"

Li Yao coughed dryly, and before he could speak, Hei Yelan said with some dissatisfaction: "I understand, isn't this the 'elite decision-making' system? The public is blind. Only the elite can determine the future of civilization. It makes sense, but what is the difference between it and the empire? I heard that in the real human empire, this 'elite decision-making' system is adopted, and it is not the emperor who has the final say. The nobles, lords and realms in various places, as well as the powerful Jindan, the old monsters in the Nascent Soul, etc., speak very importantly!"

Ling Xiaole smiled: "Elite decisions are not wrong in nature. Governing the country is essentially a technology, so of course we need to find an expert.

“But, what kind of talent can be called a real ‘expert’?

"I don't deny that among the nobles, lords and real world masters of the real human empire, there may be many experts in the governance of planets, but more people are just big fists, strong combat power, and good-willed battles on the battlefield. Some people are even more miserable. What they are best at is intrigue. Hiding a knife in their smile makes someone a noble because of their strong combat power, which does not mean that he can really manage the place. He may even be busy with cultivation, thinking about making his fists bigger, and he never thought about receiving the most basic training in public affairs decision-making.

"I think such a guy, let alone becoming the leader, even if he becomes the most ordinary 'citizen', it's a big deal.

"There is no way, the empire is like this. The strong prey on the weak and the king of strength. It seems to be advanced, but it is just a group of steel barbarians equipped with starships and giant gods."

Hei Yelan took a deep breath and had nothing to say.

Li Yao smiled and said, "The Federation is different?"

"Of course it's different."

Ling Xiaole proudly said, "The people of the Federation have been trained in public affairs since childhood. When they are adults, they have basic civic literacy and understand that their choices and efforts are closely related to the future of the entire civilization! And those who can truly become citizens prove themselves in the "Civilization" game. Not only do they have a deep understanding of the economy, politics, culture, military, etc., they are relatively rational, calm, and have a long-term vision. They are also willing to devote a lot of time to contribute "smart property" and serve the public!

"There are high and low cultivation levels of such 'citizens', and most of them are not even cultivators, but they are well-deserved 'social elites' and can represent the voices of all federal people to the greatest extent. They can choose the highest speaker and determine the future development path of the Federation. This is the best system we can think of.

"It not only avoided that many civilizations in the past 10,000 years have allowed a group of 'mobs' to choose leaders, select a candle, even an ambitious conspirator, and finally everyone is united to perish; and the super high information transmission speed of the Xinghai Light Road platform has also reduced the consumption of the election itself to the limit!"

Ling Xiaole's tail swayed violently, and rubbed through Li Yao's nose several times, making him unable to help but sneeze.

“By the way.”

Li Yao rubbed his nose and asked, "There is one thing I just wanted to ask, has the current means of divine thought transmission reached this level? Even divine thought data between two different worlds can be transmitted and exchanged instantly. This "network speed" is too scary. Even our Firefly technology seems to be unable to do this. At most, it can only complete instant data exchange in the same world. This "unified" virtual platform that accommodates the seven worlds will collapse in minutes with our technology."

Ling Xiaole hesitated for a moment. Li Yao knew that she received the instructions from the above through the ultra-micro notes array pasted on the eardrum. After three seconds, the above agreed. Ling Xiaole said: "It's okay to tell you two. We didn't have such technology at first. However, a hundred years ago, when the new federation was not established, the 'old federation' once received a bunch of mysterious signals from the depths of the starry sea."

"oh?"

Li Yao sat upright. The signal Ling Xiaole mentioned was obviously summoning himself to the ancient sage realm, and eventually attracted the bunch of men such as Meng Chixin and Long Yangjun.

Ling Xiaole continued: "To this day, the content contained in that beam of signals is no longer important, but the magical power of transmitting this beam of signals is crucial.

"Federal scholars have spent decades studying this beam of signals and finally determined that it was an advanced information transmission method from the prehistoric civilization. This method similar to "gravitational wave" can instantly cross the sea of ​​stars and achieve seamless information docking between the two worlds.

"It is precisely through this 'precious signal' that the Federation's information transmission technology has made rapid progress and finally established a unified "Civilization" world!" (~^~)
