Next, the new human diplomats played a ticulously crafted docuntary, highlighting the workings of the entire alliance, its technological prowess, and future developnt directions.
This docuntary was like a sci-fi blockbuster, leaving the Lainino people before the screen stunned. Many of the white-haired gorillas even believed that these scenes were created with special effects, not thinking they were real.
"Is it real? Can their planet move?"
"Of course it’s real. If aliens can’t do that, can they still be called aliens?"
"What does the Great Commander, who understands aliens the most, have to say? Give us so insight!"
"Oh God, please take us away, we’re begging you. Take us to heaven!" So charlatans continued to babble, but deep down, they were extrely anxious because aliens had truly arrived! All their previous bluffs might be exposed... By then, the angry followers would surely skin them alive!
However, the new human diplomats didn’t pay attention to the various Lainino people and simply spoke in front of the screen: "...If you yearn for poetry and distant places, you might consider joining us and striving together for a better tomorrow; if you wish to live a wealthy and well-cared-for life, please stay on your original planet..."
"Because we advocate for equality for all, the pursuit of the unknown, the satisfaction of our own curiosity, rather than re enjoynt..."
After this segnt aired, many Lainino people tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and debates on this topic were everywhere online.
In the depths of their hearts, it was as if a very peculiar switch was flipped; who wouldn’t want to see more distant places?
But... No.
Think of the price you’d pay.
Then think about everything you have here...
Several students in the school were discussing: "Are you going? I’m really fed up with those hypocritical ntors! I want to join a brand new society and then start a new life!"
Another said, "I’ll... let it go."
"Why?!"
"I’m wondering if I’m really suited for research? If I think carefully, I’m not. I just enjoy the feeling of having a higher IQ than others. If I join the alien alliance, can I still feel superior? I’ve vaguely thought about what my future would look like, is it really reading papers, doing research, and standing on a university podium?"
"According to them, you have to be content with loneliness, run data all day, write papers, and slowly produce so results over decades. Not what you imagined... Their alliance is one purely composed of researchers, are we really such people?"
The student who spoke initially also fell silent. He only saw that his own society wasn’t good, that the other world was better and had more opportunities... But were they truly high-minded people who could dedicate themselves to research?
Could they endure producing so results over decades, or even centuries?
If not, joining this alliance wouldn’t bring happiness.
So, wishfully joining the alliance doesn’t have much aning either.
...
Not only students but also so professors with initial status fell silent, starting to reflect on whether they truly wished to join this alliance...
There wasn’t any glamorous lifestyle, only simple, unadorned days of pursuing truth.
Once the decision is made, there’s no turning back!
Initially, the pompously loud literature workers also fell silent. They rely wanted to find an excuse to raise their own treatnt... Now that capital has slightly bowed, dividing and conquering a batch, a stir is no longer possible.
Instead, a large batch of holess beggars were eager to join this alien alliance. After all, they had nothing and might as well start fresh in a new environnt.
They eyed the wealth and strength of the new human civilization.
But clearly, this group of beggars lacked the personal quality and spiritual qualities needed, and they were ruthlessly rejected.
"Why reject ?"
"Great alien civilization, save the poor!!"
"I beg you to take , alien daddy..."
Among the applicants from the past few days, none were qualified, all were just so opportunists who couldn’t make it!
Even the official security forces of the Lainino civilization began taking the opportunity to stake out, cracking down on criminals who tried to defect to aliens, because it often turned out to be a gang of criminals eagerly signing up, with each capture being a sure hit!
Zhang Yuan knew about this, sighed, and found so amusent when he saw those people scratching their heads at work over there.
"Don’t rush, the truly talented Lainino people are still pondering; they need ti to make choices. Maybe, such talent doesn’t even exist... After all, our requirents are too stringent, and the alien alliance is a completely unfamiliar entity to them."
Another diplomat also deeply sighed: "Sigh, what kind of talent do we need? Pure researchers? But such researchers are very few and require a cultural atmosphere to cultivate, and I think this civilization may not have many..."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Research personnel? Those with simple, straightforward, and pure characteristics like Ping Tou Ge are most suitable for research; those with too many thoughts and deep scheming are not suitable for research. Individuals with low self-esteem are not suitable for research, and those with low IQ aren’t either... If you calculate like this, they sure are hard to find."
"However, since we’ve done it this way, even if no one wants to board, we have a clear conscience. Anyway, staying here, they will eventually be assimilated by the Alef civilization... I now think, assimilating these sinners seems not bad, at least better than this existing dissipated life."
The Alef civilization’s probe colonization plan spread here, possibly taking a few hundred years if fast or one to two thousand years if slower.
So, these Lainino people can enjoy just such a period of comfort.
But what does that matter?
Humans won’t deliberately remind them, even if reminded, it won’t have much practical use... This civilization is unlikely to ascend to a Fourth-level Civilization within a millennium.
A military leader chuckled: "You think they’re dissipated, but they find their lives quite okay?"
The diplomat shook his head: "Precisely because of this, this universe is even darker..."
And so, days passed one by one, and so opportunists who couldn’t make it were rcilessly sifted out.
anwhile, so competent Lainino people were reluctant to abandon everything and join the alliance...
A month later, finally, a small number of people began to sign up; a year later, the qualified number was rely a scant five thousand!
Moreover, most experts and scholars, seeing the number of people joining was so few, also started to fall back. The population was too small to even establish a basic political frawork, rely becoming a thorough affiliated civilization of the new humans.
Under such circumstances, highly intelligent scholars gradually cald from their initial enthusiasm. Initially seeing this technologically powerful alliance, the clear academic environnt, and the optimistic and progressive societal atmosphere, they were inevitably attracted.
However, after cooling down, they would realize that no matter how dark and corrupt their original civilization was, it was still their ho... After all, they’d be abandoning everything they knew.
Does the kind of Saint who pursues truth at all costs exist?
They don’t exist.
A re five thousand people, entering an unfamiliar environnt, would they be happier than now?
Unknown... Perhaps initially a sense of novelty would arise, but as ti gradually passes, who knows if regret would set in.
For those five thousand qualified scholars, humans are not pressuring them; after all, they only need to make a decision before the departure date.
Even telling them that it’s still not too late to withdraw now!
