Chapter 607: Chapter 600: Goodbye Jiang 16_1
In the administrative system of the Solar System State, there are a total of sixteen districts, as well as one Four-dimensional Zone.
Due to advanced transportation and communication, the Solar System State has always been tightly bound together.
Out of habit, whenever a new star system is colonized, a solid Governing Council foundation is laid down simultaneously.
Thus, up to now, the capabilities of both the Wallfacer and the Governing Council systems have been running smoothly.
With this premise, Jiang Yu's new policies were rapidly implemented layer by layer.
First, the stubborn factional strife individuals within the Wallfacer system were purged, followed by Jiang Yu beginning to cleanse the Governing Council of its hardliners.
Jiang Yu's actions shocked Xiao Qi and the other Wallfacers; first, he used the pretext of the war with the Singer civilization to smoothly transition the entire Solar System State into a state of war.
Many of the stubborn pragmatist faction immediately stood up in opposition, and Jiang Yu arrested a group of people.
Next, he supported Xiao Qi's proposals, vigorously developing new technologies, new theories, and new ideas.
Many of the stubborn Historian Faction members disagreed and came out in opposition one after another, so Jiang Yu arrested another group of people.
These were basically individuals whose minds were clouded by the contention, or those seeking to exploit factional disputes for their own gain.
They had completely stopped thinking from the standpoint of humanity, everything was about their own agenda, and any argument or person opposed to their views was wrong! An enemy!
After accurately singling out this group of individuals, the rest who protested and criticized Jiang Yu also quickly disappeared, without economical and political support, these people and organizations mostly dissolved.
In just over half a year, Jiang Yu had essentially purged the Solar System State of divisive ideologies.
Only then did he start planning for the war with the Singer civilization, a conflict he wasn't assured of winning.
After all, more than a thousand years had passed, and no one knew whether the Singer civilization had recovered from the previous intense interstellar wars, or if it had developed further.
So, Jiang Yu first ordered the military to diligently carry out reconnaissance missions to get a clear picture of the Singer civilization.
At the same time, he prepared the Solar System State to be able to block all contact with the frontlines at any moment, to prevent the war from reaching the homeland if the situation turned unfavorable.
…
Deeper communication between Five-Dimensional Humanity and Three-Dimensional World took place as scheduled in December.
Jiang Yu put Wei Xiang in charge of this event; Jiao Zuo and Weide of the Fifth Dimension had no objections, almost recognizing Jiang Yu as a level above themselves by default.
During the high-level meeting, Jiang Yu requested a meeting with Yang Dong, Jiang Shiliu, and others.
Only Jiang Shiliu came: "I'm sorry, Yang Dong is involved in an experiment to enter the Six-Dimensional. She's currently there, and we can't contact her for the time being."
The communication device between the Third Dimension and Fifth Dimension is a V-shaped frame and, upon activation, a small spatial ripple appears in the middle of the "V," like a pristine and clear water mirror.
This frame is the Solar System State's most advanced consciousness exchange equipment, through which one can directly see Jiang Shiliu's appearance in the "water mirror."
It is Jiang Shiliu's appearance from the Three-dimensional World, not a consciousness form resembling a bundle of energy.
This reminded Jiang Yu of the magic mirrors in fairy tales, Jiang Shiliu's appearance above her shins showed in the middle of the V-shaped water mirror, but her feet could not be visibly represented.
Moreover, if you went behind it, there was nothing on the other side of the "water mirror."
Jiang Shiliu added, "Number Three is tied up at the frontlines, the research projects of Thirty-Six and Jiang Yan are critical and time-sensitive, they cannot leave either."
He sighed deeply, "We're short on people in the Fifth Dimension!"
Jiang Yu nodded, "I understand, I'll send you some people in a few days."
Originally, he was thinking of sending all the arrested stubborn party hardliners to the Fifth Dimension, but these two factions still had many supporters.
These supporters privately backed the ideologies of the two factions, had not yet reached the point of being completely incorrigible, and had not committed any crimes.
If he forcibly sent the arrested to the Fifth Dimension, it would undoubtedly incite dissatisfaction among these supporters, leading to public outrage. Even with Jiang Yu's high reputation, that reputation was from over a thousand years ago and might not be enough to contain them.
Jiang Yu planned to consider this matter after the war with the Singer civilization was over.
However, the war had not yet started, and it was uncertain when it would be over, so Jiang Yu prepared to give these stubborn individuals a chance.
They could choose fifty years of labor reform or go to the Fifth Dimension.
Jiang Yu prepared to prosecute them on these grounds.
He believed that many would choose the Fifth Dimension, and Jiang Yu was ready to implement this strategy across the entire Solar System State. From now on, every criminal would have the option to enter the Fifth Dimension.
As for whether the influx of prisoners into the Fifth Dimension would stir unrest in the human world there, Jiang Yu believed that Weide could easily handle this bunch of rascals.
Jiang Shiliu smiled, "I've heard from others about the thunderous tactics you employed after 'coming out of retirement.' Should I call you an old blade that remains sharp?"
Jiang Yu replied with a laugh, "When I became a Wallfacer, I wasn't even this young!"
He then said seriously, "It seems you have been doing experiments for so long that it has worn out your brain.
"If you cannot find the consciousness of those who have just died in the Fifth Dimension, look for those about to die in the Third Dimension!
"Now that humanity still experiences death, this is a great opportunity for the Fifth Dimension to expand its population.
"Not many people facing death would refuse the chance to start over!"
The current average lifespan in the Solar System has reached around a thousand years, which means that many people who were born during the Great Depression and the thirty-year war are still lively and kicking.
A thousand years is an extremely long time. As humanity's lifespan further increases, it becomes almost indistinguishable from immortality.
But as human lifespans get progressively longer, what Jiang Yu sees as a lengthy thousand years might not seem so lengthy in the eyes of future Humanity, might it?
If Three-dimensional Humanity were to achieve true immortality, then the Fifth Dimension would no longer have the opportunity to massively expand its population from the Third Dimension.
Jiang Shiliu, however, responded with a bitter smile, "Not every Wallfacer in the Three-dimensional World is so cooperative with the development of the Fifth Dimension."
Jiang Yu did not say anything, for most people in the Third Dimension felt no obligation to assist the Fifth Dimension.
He sighed, "Tell me about the situation in the Fifth Dimension."
"I don't even know where to start, as the shape of Five-Dimensional Humanity is in chaos now."
Jiang Yu furrowed his brows, "Then let's start with the politics. What's the chaos about?"
"Jiao Zuo and Weide are both very dominant," Jiang Shiliu stated. "Often, they each do their own thing, and since the strength of Five-Dimensional Humanity is not very formidable to begin with, this fragmentation has made it even weaker."
