Split Sky Rider

"I am now preparing a paper about the relationship between the 'Thucydides Trap' and the Firmament Star and the Blue Star. I am a Firmament Star person and a member of the royal family, and you are a Blue Star person and a civilian. It just so happens that I can look at it from different perspectives. Let’s talk!”

Princess Doctor, or Doctor Princess, once Lin Ziyu Silan talks about other topics, he can't help but talk about his academic major.

With high emotional intelligence, changing topics is as natural as flowing water.

"Actually... war is also a good thing!"

Since becoming a migrant worker, Chen Fei has not been exposed to academic things for a long time, so when he mentioned this, he naturally became interested.

To this day, those things from the past few years of undergraduate studies are still vivid in my mind, and I have never given them back to the teacher.

Although sometimes he would be inexplicably murderous, these words came from his true heart.

Capital wants to eat people, and it kills people more cruelly than war. War can at least leave a corpse, but cannibalism doesn't even leave bones.

"Eh?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess did not guess at all what Chen Fei was thinking. It could be said that it was completely different from her original thoughts, and even completely opposite.

The core idea of ​​the paper Lin Ziyu is preparing is to try to avoid the disaster of war caused by the "Thucydides Trap" and to find a long-term solution for win-win cooperation and peaceful coexistence between two completely different planetary civilizations.

This paper fits her royal princess status very well.

"Although war can destroy the economy, it cannot be established without destroying it. Taking this opportunity to break the old mechanism and re-establish a new balance can more effectively stimulate economic growth and form a more stable and mature social and economic system. To a certain extent, war It is the catalyst for civilization progress and integration.”

Chen Fei spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and continued: "I'm just not talented, but I studied economics!"

Judging by his tone, people who don't know may think that he studies not economics, but war.

War serves politics, and politics serves the economy. Fighting a war means fighting the economy. Without money and food, you can’t even raise a single soldier. The two are indeed closely related.

The length of the history of human civilization today is insignificant among civilizations of multiple eras. However, it is precisely because there is no one day of silence that it can grow rapidly in such a short period of time.

The growth cycle of each era is shorter than the previous one, and accordingly, the peace time is less.

Only the Golden Era of the First Era had so much peaceful time to lie down, so it disappeared the cleanest, with not even a hair left.

"What a terrible inference!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Silan Dynasty looked sad.

Is the "Thucydides Trap" really an unavoidable problem?

Chen Fei didn't care. He was just a bastard who followed the crowd. He might be able to make some secret noises, but no one paid any attention to him.

As a member of the royal family who rules a civilized planet and the second in line of succession, Lin Ziyu Silan's every move is under the spotlight. Every word and deed will be interpreted in countless ways. No matter what the interpretation is, it is not her. want.

The royal blood is like a shackle on the body, so one does not dare to act rashly. In this aspect, it is not as good as a free civilian who is praised for good deeds and jailed for bad deeds.

Seeing Lin Ziyu Silan worrying about the shadow of "Thucydides Trap", Chen Fei said: "Economy has cyclical nature, and so does civilization. If both civilizations enter a period of decline, they will become decadent and lazy. Instead of breeding, it is better to be each other's whetstone, remove the rotten flesh, break and then stand up, and rejuvenate. These are issues that those in power need to consider, and neither you nor I should worry about this unfoundedly."

"Actually, I have been worried that the relationship between Firmament Star and Blue Star is no longer as close as it was thirty years ago."

The princess's worries are not without reason. She majored in history at Blue Star and obtained a doctorate in history. Using copper as a mirror, she can dress her clothes properly; using the past as a mirror, she can know the ups and downs.

"There is an emperor and a courtier. Don't you think it's the same here in Cangqiongxing? I think it's good for both sides to pinch each other within a controllable range. If they are full and want to cause trouble, just find trouble for them. If there are no enemies, create enemies for them. Those who like to do things will be killed. The rest love peace and can't fight no matter what. I just came from the "Abyss Gladiator" and I think this is a pretty good solution. In a contradictory way.”

Chen Fei got inspiration from the "Abyss Gladiator" battle. Although it was a battle of life and death, there were grievances and revenge. All the militants were dead, and the remaining ones were all good people.

"'Abyss'?"

Lin Ziyu Silan didn't expect that Chen Fei would mention this.

Because there are on-site static displays of various aircraft, as well as flight performances and actual combat, the "Abyss Fight" held every five years is not only extremely popular in Blue Star, but also has many fans in Firmament Star. The National People's Congress went to Blue Star to watch the battle and even participated in the battle.

There are many cross-dimensional passages between Blue Star and Firmament Star, but it is not easy for two civilized people to communicate with each other. Not only do they need to have legitimate reasons, but they also need to review their criminal records and mental state. No one with criminal tendencies can reach the other party's planet, which makes cross-planet criminals no place to survive.

Chen Fei did not speak, but quietly waited for Her Royal Highness to think for herself.

The ruling class in high positions can naturally see many things that the common people at the bottom cannot see. Since the other party can think of using "Thucydides Trap" as the core of the paper to analyze the relationship between two civilized planets, it means that Since hidden dangers already exist, if left unchecked, the former alliance is likely to be on the verge of breaking out.

After all, there is a saying that goes well, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

Firmament Star and Blue Star are united because of their interests, and they will also fall into hostility because of their interests.

The "Thucydides Trap" theory is based on this. So far, it has been verified almost time and time again that there is no room for two tigers in a mountain.

Lin Ziyu Silan finally broke away from his thinking state and said to the steward who was accompanying him: "It seems that I really need to expand my horizons. No wonder there is a saying that rocks from other mountains can attack jade, Chen Fei, I will consider your proposal seriously and carefully." Lin Ziyu Slan looked at the housekeeper Mars and said: "Mars, go back and tell Lizejina for me and ask her to collect information about the 'Gladiator in the Abyss' for me. The more detailed the information, the better. Then help me make an appointment with a few sociology and international relations experts to prepare a seminar based on the common propositions of 'Thucydides' Trap' and 'Abyss'. After finalizing the list, I will make an appointment. time."

Some people have mastered countless resources and channels, which they can use for themselves as they wish. With the support of others, they can easily complete one project after another.

Some people are destined to have their heads hung up and their buttocks pierced, enduring isolation and loneliness, a miserable person without a clear head.

The same is true for academics, but people are different. The poor in literature and the rich in martial arts may not always be completely correct.

"Okay, I'll tell Lizzieina!"

Butler Mars bowed.

He is the life steward of Her Highness the Princess. The shadow guard Rizekina who grew up with the princess is not only the closest confidant, but also a school companion and academic assistant. Although the two have completely different statuses, they are in a certain sense They are completely one and the same, so it's no wonder that Lizejina would rashly test Chen Fei's worth.

"It's getting late. I gained a lot from my chat with Mr. Chen Fei today. I won't disturb your rest time. If you need anything, you can mention it directly to Butler Mars."

Lin Ziyu Silan stood up and nodded to Chen Fei, ending their first formal meeting.

It was rare to meet a serious person to chat about academic topics. Chen Fei also said in a happy mood: "It's a pleasure to chat with you, Your Highness!"

Before, all he had encountered were killers who would kill people without hesitation, and people like Chekhov's Big Bear, who would eat, drink, whore, gamble, and fight. Those who didn't know better thought it was... Fell into the bandit's den.

Based on the geographical location where the 911 Air Service Base is located, isn’t it just a copycat bandit den?

-

The next day, little birds were flying around in the garden and chirping.

Every time it comes to a strange new environment, especially a carefully manicured garden, it will be particularly active. It will be used as a playground full of freshness, flying high and crawling around, having a great time.

Facing the early sun, Chen Fei squatted on horseback and practiced a special breathing technique. Nine quick shallow breaths were followed by a slow deep breath, and the cycle continued.

The inner strength technique taught by Barut, an old man from the Neanderthal tribe, allowed him to successfully perform the secret technique of "fighting to death" with war patterns. This is a life-saving skill that is at the bottom of the box. Chen Fei will not slack off whenever he has free time.

"Yes, sorry!"

While he was standing firmly, a stuttering voice came from the side, which sounded a bit familiar.

Chen Fei gathered his breath, one shallow and one deep, in search of fame.

But it was Princess Shadow Guard Rizekina who drew her sword to him yesterday and almost punched him back to the Sky Star. She was blushing and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Yesterday, yesterday, I'm really, really, really sorry. I, formally apologize to you, I'm sorry!"

Then he bowed ninety degrees and finally shouted with all his strength.

The frightened little bird quickly flew back and landed on Chen Fei's shoulder. It looked at the young woman warily and hesitated whether to use the laser on her.
