Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Regarding Xiao En's question, Anping responded: "The conclusion is correct. According to the laws and regulations of the Qiankun Group, Zhuang Yuanying does not enjoy complete human rights. Her current peaceful life is essentially absconding in fear of crime. All of us are not An out-and-out cover-up criminal."

Xiao En asked in a deep voice: "She is a living person, why can't she enjoy human rights?"

"You actually ask why...Of course it's because the people who made the law didn't want people like Xiaozhuang to enjoy human rights. Moreover, you said that Xiaozhuang is a living person, but it's a pity that Xiaozhuang can't be regarded as a real person in the dry galaxy. meaningful people."

Xiao En frowned, and glanced at the horns on Zhuang Yuanying's forehead: "It doesn't make sense. Compared with mere horns on the head, there are countless strange-looking intelligent creatures in the Milky Way. The space city [Li] even lives with anacondas. Could it be that?" Will the Qiankun Group recognize their human rights?"

Anping smiled: "So you judge whether a creature should have human rights based on its appearance? As long as it looks similar enough to humans, it will naturally have human rights. Anacondas seem to be a negative example?"

Xiao En frowned even tighter, because Anping was obviously raising an argument... But then again, how to judge whether a creature is an intelligent creature and whether it enjoys rights is indeed not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

"In fact, so what if you can explain it clearly? Is it possible that you can decide whether a creature, a group of people, should have power or not? Who gave you such power? If you think Xiao Zhuang is pleasing to the eye, then You believe that she should enjoy human rights, you are filled with righteous indignation at what happened to her, and you wish to immediately break the shackles and stop all medical experiments... But what is the difference between the logic of your behavior and those of those dictatorial tyrants?"

Sean was silent again.

Anping's words are correct. To determine whether a creature should enjoy rights or not, regardless of the difficulty, at least it is not a matter of one person or one sentence. And in the environment of the Qian galaxy, the one who has the power to decide all this is probably the Qiankun Group.

But why did the Qiankun Group persecute Zhuang Yuanying? Judging from the contact during this period, Zhuang Yuanying is no different from ordinary people except for the horns on her head and her cowardly personality... Well, she has amazing brute strength and excellent mechanical talents, but these are not the same. cannot be grounds for persecution.

And when Xiao En raised this question, Anping couldn't help but laugh like Lu Nan.

This made Sean very uncomfortable, as if nothing he thought was beyond the control of the other party. This conversation seemed to be rehearsed in advance, and he was just playing a supporting role to set off the opponent.

Next, Xiao En heard Anping say: "Your question is strange. It seems that there must be some reason to persecute a race. In other words, as long as there is any reason, a race can be persecuted. But unfortunately, this kind of Absurd logic does prevail in reality."

"The population of the dry galaxy is more than 100 billion, but apart from the space city [Li], it is not bad if you can find more than 1% of other intelligent creatures in other places. What do you think is the reason for this? The dry galaxy is too remote, So that outsiders can't find it at all?"

Sean shook his head. Geographical location is of course not the reason... In fact, he had noticed the special population structure of the dry galaxy when he checked the relevant information before entering the dry galaxy, but he never had a clear answer.

"It's actually very simple, because people here don't like aliens. Although the idea of ​​​​repelling aliens has never been put on the table, it is a concept held by many people in the Qian galaxy, and it has a very deep historical accumulation. After joining Before the Republic, the living conditions of the natives of the Gan galaxy were very poor."

"Of course, with the increasingly close contacts with the Republic, and later simply becoming a member state with a special status, the xenophobic situation in the galaxy has been greatly improved. But unfortunately, the inertia of history will not disappear. Some people who were oppressed in the past The local alien races will not be liberated because of the improved treatment of other alien races. Now, even anacondas can live freely in the dry galaxy, but Xiaozhuang cannot."

Xiao En only felt that this matter was getting more and more unreasonable, but he still suppressed the sense of absurdity in his heart, and said: "In any case, this kind of discrimination is seriously contrary to the spirit of the Republic, even if the Qiankun Group can turn right and wrong and put a certain race Classified as a low creature, but if the Republic finds out the truth..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sean was interrupted.

Anping sighed: "So do you expect the Republic to come to the galaxy to uphold justice? If the Republic is so useful, the Qiankun Group would have collapsed ten times long ago. Or, in your eyes, is the Republic just and radiant everywhere? "

Sean had to be silent about it.

On the whole, the Republic is of course radiant, and the civilization and ideas it symbolizes are worth following and guarding by anyone. But where there is light, there is shadow. With Master's travels all these years, Sean has seen too many "flying in the ointment".

The Republic is great, but the Republic is not perfect, and it is not omnipotent. Many problems can only be left there, and many tragedies can only be left to happen... In comparison, what is the racial persecution in the dry galaxy?

In fact, Gan Galaxy is a member of the Republic—although it is special in all aspects, after so many years of dealing with it, does the Republic really know nothing about the problems here?

Sean certainly has the answers in his heart, but he doesn't know how to face them.

At this time, Sean missed Master even more. If the Jedi Master was by his side, he would be able to easily answer these questions and point out the correct path for the apprentice.

It's a pity that Sean can only rely on himself now.

And just when Xiao En fell into deep thought, Anping spoke again, continuing to add insult to injury.

"In fact, the Qiankun Group will only do things more delicately and meticulously than you expected. Although the dragon tribe that Xiaozhuang belongs to is still a low-level creature whose status is almost the same as that of monkey lizards, a group has been doing evil for many years. Of course, I have considered it. The issue of crime exposure. If one day, they are forced to liberate the dragon people, what do you think they will do?"

Xiao En just felt strange, if there is such a day, then honestly liberate the dragon people, what else needs to be done? Is it possible that you still need to worry about the liquidation of the Dragon Race's historical debts?

Anping said: "The Gan galaxy is ruled by giant corporations, and the core of corporations is profit-seeking. The dragon race is a valuable experimental material for Xiarun Medicine. Do you think such a large corporation will be willing to let go? So They have already made a plan, even if they really liberate the dragon people legally, they still have a way to continue to control this group."

"Qiankun Group has a very important medical security law. According to the regulations, some people with congenital diseases that are difficult to cure must sign a "medical volunteer" contract when they are born. This The terms of the contract are very ingeniously designed. It seems fair and benevolent. It is purely out of humanitarian considerations, providing a chance for life extension for those born without medicine. But in fact, it treats people as cheap materials , wanton waste."

Sean couldn't help asking: "Can't you quit?"

"In theory, of course. After all, an irrevocable contract of prostitution is not good-looking. According to the contract, although the volunteers are born to sign the contract, the whole experiment process is free to come and go, and no one can find fault. But in fact, any dragonman who is out of control will immediately face sky-high compensation."

"The pharmaceutical company will immediately issue a statement, claiming that the volunteer's departure halfway has caused serious losses to the company. Before the debt is settled, the volunteer's personal freedom must be restricted. Then many appraisal agencies will issue various It proves that the volunteers who should flee still have enough ability to continue to fulfill the contract, so the pharmaceutical company can reasonably and legally bring the person back to the laboratory and use various experiments to make up for the loss..."

"All in all, there will be no violation of the law in the whole process. The elites in the galaxy who have received the highest legal education have designed every detail to be impeccable. Although it has not been put into actual operation, I think this is probably the What legal spirit are you pursuing?"

Sean only felt a dry throat, completely speechless.
