In the culture of the Randall people, sea lotus symbolizes many things, such as the spirit of perseverance and silent growth, the spirit of burning oneself to achieve the ultimate beauty, etc.

The Randall people also like this short-lived and beautiful beauty of mourning, so the sea lotus is also the national flower of the Randall people. The bill named after it is also very similar to its nature.

"I declare that the Sea Lotus Bill has been passed by vote and now begins to have legal effect." After saying that, the speaker of the parliament solemnly knocked three times on the justice shell on the podium to represent the legality of the implementation of the law.

"According to the content of the bill, I declare that a nationwide holiday will begin. Even public service positions such as doctors, soldiers, and police can take time off according to their respective circumstances. During the holiday, banks and other financial institutions will no longer calculate interest, but loans and the disbursement of various funds will continue."

"The holiday period is tentatively set at five days. After the holiday, working hours will also be adjusted. All business units must implement three days off and two days off for all positions. These work and vacation systems do not conflict with ordinary public holidays."

After talking about the most critical part of the bill, the speaker looked to one side, in the direction of the economic congressman.

"How long will our reserves and government budget funds be enough to support the operation of the Sea Lotus Act? The operation plan should have been prepared a long time ago." The speaker asked cautiously.

A red starfish stood up, blowing bubbles from his mouth. He looked at the terminal in his hand seriously and said, "Yes, Dear Speaker, the operation plan has been prepared for a long time. Fortunately recently, we have not been deeply involved in the war of natural disaster Swarm."

"In addition, we use the privileges of the permanent members to carry out economic development and intervention, and earn a lot of profits from other civilizations. At this stage, our country's various financial preparations and materials are relatively abundant, and everyone's living standard is close to that before the war."

"We can maintain the people's high-quality living standards under the Sea Lotus Act for six months to a year before all reserves are exhausted. However, after this year, my economic development level will fall significantly behind, and various debts and accumulated problems will reach a threshold."

"Because there are not enough people to work, social production efficiency will also drop a lot. Our country's national strength is expected to drop by 10 to 15 percent, and our economy will be in trouble for a long time."

The economic congressmen are very professional and have used various data tables to show all the problems that will arise under the Sea Lotus Act to all congressmen. The economic model is very complex and professional, but most of the congressmen here are elites in civilization, so it is not difficult to understand it.

To sum up, the Sea Lotus Act is the Randall people's law to lay down their lives. In order to prevent the floods in the future, we must welcome the doomsday crisis with an attitude of enjoyment and ensure that every Randall person can better enjoy life before the doomsday comes.

Only the Randalls could formulate such a bill, and it cannot be said that their choice was wrong. They received the bottle from the last reincarnation, and the ending stated in it was already doomed.

So even if you work hard, you will be exterminated, so why not enjoy life more before being exterminated.

"Thanks to the economic member's report, now we all have a sufficient understanding of the future, and we don't want to say anything more." The speaker's serious face softened.

He smiled and said to all the members, "According to the bill, we will not announce to the public the picture of future destruction. We will give the people a sweet dream. Now, members, enjoy your life."

"As for the future of Randal civilization, it is not up to us to decide. If fate favors the Randal people and the defense agreement can really defeat and correct the solemn agreement, then there will naturally be a bright future."

Although the intention of the Sea Lotus Act is good, it cannot be said that it completely represents public opinion. With such a small number of members, the future of the entire civilization is decided not by referendum, but by secret voting.

No one knows whether the people will be satisfied in the future, whether society will be stable, and whether the army will rebel. Maybe one day, the angry people will know that the parliament has deceived them, and will send everyone here to prison, and the waiting trial may be the death penalty.

The congressmen all know this, but they feel that they know more than the people, so they should plan for ordinary people a future that they think will be happier, at the cost of hundreds of deaths.

As soon as the speaker finished speaking, all the members in the audience stood up one by one. Maybe they were moved, maybe they accepted the future calmly. They twisted their tentacles and patted each other to encourage each other, and then walked out of the venue naturally.

Compared with the Randal people who calmly accept their fate and are ready to enjoy the present, the Zeluo people have a completely different civilized character. Unless they have to, they will not leave the fate of their civilization to anyone or any existence.

In the past six months, Wendak has begun to struggle hard for the continuation of civilization. He has worked hard to improve the country's strength and fleet size, and adjust the economic and industrial structure to prepare for continued war.

They also continue to carry out diplomatic actions to win over more powerful civilizations to the Zeluo people's side, and at the same time use the Zeluo people's intelligence network all over the universe to monitor all key information.

A piece of recorded information from Randall was delivered to Wendak's desk, which was of the highest importance.

Following the procedure, Wendak locked his office, turned on all technological protection measures, and then ordered network technicians to disconnect the office from the Internet and raise the firewall alert level to the highest level.

After making all these preparations, Wendak clicked on the recorded information.

Half an hour later, Wendak destroyed the original recording and copied his memory of listening to the recording into the Psionics slate. Finally, he asked the technical staff to remove the office's defensive measures.

The melancholy Wendak opened a delicate box and inhaled some of the high-concentration Shroud ash inside. He did not want to increase his Psionics, but to relieve his mental stress with the drug-like hallucination produced by inhaling the ash.

Closing his eyes, Wendak immersed his mind in the hallucination caused by the abundance of Psionics. Here, he only needed to relax and enjoy the happy substances secreted by his brain.

As for the rise and fall of civilization, the future of the Zeluo people, and the coming of the terminal crisis, these troublesome things are no longer important. At this moment, he can rest quietly, and he is just an ordinary Zeluo person.

Unlike when he wakes up from a dream, he will face a terminal crisis.
