Chapter 2
The second video starts playing.
Ning Yu also started to explain in a deep voice:
"As human footprints reach more and more distant galaxies"
"Some colonized planets have become extremely far away from the earth"
"Relying on sublight speed aircraft, it will take several generations or even more than a dozen generations of sailing time to reach"
"Therefore, the Earth’s mother planet has given these colonial planets great autonomy."
"and establish a tax law called [Temporary Return]"
"As long as the colonized planet pays for the colonization process, ten times the cost of resources will be given to the earth"
"This colonial planet can then be completely independent and no longer bear any obligations related to the earth's mother planet."
When they heard this, some netizens clicked their tongues and shook their heads:
"This tax law is a bit harsh!"
"Ten times the cost of the colonization process? How high is that?"
"Why don't you accept it?"
"Colonizing alien planets is a great and glorious project for the future of mankind. Isn’t it too vulgar to talk about this?"
However, another group of people immediately said:
"Don’t accept it? Absolutely not!"
"We painstakingly built a spaceship on Earth, and then equipped the spaceship with all the materials needed to start a colony."
"As a result, after these bastards flew to their new homeland, they patted their butts and gave nothing back to our earth?"
"Isn't this a joke?"
"And how do you say this temporary return tax law?"
"For a short period of time, it’s quite heavy!"
"I don’t know whether to build a colonial fleet of hundreds of thousands of people in the future or fly out of the solar system."
"The cost of various resources is absolutely terrifying!"
"Not to mention it will be doubled ten times."
"But in the long run, it's also very light"
"After all, the colonists own a new and unexplored planet!"
Listening to these netizens' rebuttal, most netizens nodded:
"Damn it, you're so right"
"This tax should still be paid!"
"The colonists have a new planet, and they have plenty of resources and time!"
"If one generation can't finish the work, there will be another generation!"
"That is, they can't just enjoy the happiness in the new world"
"We must also think about the great mother planet Earth!"
However, the next content of Ning Yu's video poured a basin of cold water on netizens:
"At first, people in those distant colonies still remembered this agreement"
"Across the long darkness, transport resources back to the solar system"
"But as time passed, descendants of colonists were born on new planets"
"Those children have never seen the human home planet"
"I don’t know what the solar system is in the dark deep sky"
"The sense of identity with the human home planet is even weaker."
"So, when they grow up"
"It becomes extremely difficult to understand the transport of precious resources to a planet that has never been seen before."
"Then, the planetary independence event happened"
"Those distant colonial planets began to declare independence one by one"
"And news of their independence often takes decades, even hundreds of years, to be transmitted back to Earth."
"The long distance makes it almost impossible for humans on Earth to impose punishment."
"Slowly, many colonial planets outside the solar system became self-sufficient and independent regimes from the parent star of the solar system."
"Some even took the initiative to cut off contact with the Earth's parent star and disappeared into the vast universe."
As Ning Yu explained, the picture of the video also began to change.
Countless spaceships flew out from the solar system and sailed into the distance, lighting up the planets.
However, soon, those planets began to burn out again and lost contact.
Stay on the earth The people on the home planet don't know what happened to the colonists.
Did they become independent?
Or did they encounter some terrible disaster and were wiped out?
The only thing they can do is to send out more colonial spacecraft while sending out exploration spacecraft.
Flying to different planets.
Trying to use their numerical advantage to light up the dim planets in the universe...
Seeing this scene, netizens were all silent
"Damn it, we still underestimate human nature."
"When you leave home, you forget about your mother!"
"Could they possibly be blamed?"
"If I were born on one planet, and then inexplicably have to give supplies to another planet that I have never seen before,"
"I wouldn’t agree to it!"
"Alas, in the final analysis, it is the speed of navigation that limits human expansion."
"I've said it before, we've taken too big a step"
"Although we will expand the human territory in the future,"
"But it’s actually just a piece of loose sand, and it can’t be any better."
"Otherwise, should we abolish the temporary return tax law?"
"That way at least the contact won't be broken off easily.……"
However, when officials from various countries who also paid attention to Ning Yu's video saw this barrage.
Almost shaking their heads at the same time:
"Stop this tax law?"
"How is that possible!"
