Symbiotic World—the Rift

The United Interstellar Council uses zero-sum game as its underlying rules, and high-level civilizations use laws to plunder the edge star regions. Third-level clerk Lin Che saw through this order, exposed the predatory nature of coordination power in public, proposed a symbiosis theory of equal rights and responsibilities, and wrote the "Draft of Interstellar Symbiosis", which became a thorn in the side of senior Wen Jingshen. His authority was locked and transferred to the warehouse, and his colleagues were alienated. However, low-level clerks Zhou Yan, Makino and others followed him secretly, and star messengers and merchant ships also accepted his replacement plan. Lin Che borrowed the patrol authority of Defense Officer Su Yan to go deep into the wasteland star regions such as Karen and Myra, establish civilian mutual aid points, build a cross-star domain material circulation network, and use field data to prove that two-way replacement can simultaneously strengthen both the strong and the weak. The Oris envoy Ilea went from confrontation to wavering, and the moderate factions of the Federation secretly moved closer. The parliament and extremist forces used methods such as blocking routes, cutting off supplies, tampering with public opinion, using force to intimidate, revising laws, and even sent Lin Che to an isolated warehouse. In a desperate situation, he relied on distributed data backup and underlying secret communication channels to excavate ancient historical materials of symbiosis, unite tribes in various star regions, neutral merchant ships and pragmatic officials, use arithmetic and historical facts to fight monopoly power, and sow the spark of global symbiosis in the cracks of the zero-sum order.
