I used space to carry a lot of supplies to escape famine in ancient times
Chapter 339 Improvement of the Legal System
In a planetary civilization that is mainly based on trade, their laws focus on ensuring the fairness and security of commercial transactions, and have detailed and strict regulations on the establishment, performance, and handling of breaches of contracts. Merchants follow these laws in interstellar trade to ensure the safe flow of goods and funds. But when they trade with a planetary civilization that takes honor and family responsibility as core values, problems arise. The latter may pay more attention to the reputation and family background of the two parties to the transaction, and the formal requirements for the contract are not as strict as the former, which can easily lead to disputes due to differences in legal understanding during the trade process.
In another scenario, spaceships from different civilizations meet on an interstellar route. A spaceship from a technologically advanced but resource-constrained planet may try to obtain resources from other spaceships or nearby planets without permission based on their "emergency avoidance law." This behavior is a serious violation of property and sovereignty in the laws of the civilization being plundered, which will undoubtedly trigger fierce conflicts.
Gu Qianning, a woman who experienced hardships in the ancient famine, knows the importance of law and order to people's survival. In ancient times, even on the road of fleeing famine with scarce supplies and harsh environment, people relied on some conventional rules to maintain basic fairness and safety. She understands that in the more complex environment of the universe, a perfect legal system is like a lighthouse that guides people in the dark. Her bright and firm eyes reveal her determination to build a fair legal environment for the residents of the universe.
Chu Mohan, as a leader with profound wisdom, clearly sees the potential crisis brought about by the current chaos in the universe's laws. Without a unified and perfect legal system, the universe will fall into endless disputes and chaos, the development of various civilizations will be seriously hindered, and the legitimate rights and interests of the universe's residents will not be guaranteed. Therefore, he devoted himself to the cause of improving the universe's legal system.
To improve the legal system of the universe, we must first conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study of the existing laws of various civilizations. Legal scholars and experts from various planets gathered together to form a large research team. They collected legal texts, case records, and judicial practice materials from different civilizations, and looked for commonalities and differences from this massive amount of information.
During the research, they found that although the laws of various civilizations vary greatly in specific content and form, there are still similarities at some basic levels. For example, almost all civilizations have legal provisions on protecting life safety. Whether it is a fighting nation that advocates the use of force or a civilization that advocates peaceful development, depriving others of their lives without reason is a serious crime in their laws. This is because life is the foundation for the existence and development of all civilizations, and respect for life is one of the most basic values in the universe.
At the same time, the protection of property rights is also universal. Each civilization has its own unique concept of property and protection methods. Some civilizations focus on the protection of physical property such as land and resources, while others also include intangible property such as intellectual property and cultural heritage in the scope of key protection. This emphasis on property rights stems from the fact that property is the material guarantee for the development of civilization and the lives of residents.
Based on these commonalities and taking into account the special circumstances of each civilization, the basic framework of cosmic law began to be constructed. This framework covers a number of important areas, including criminal law, civil law, commercial law, and interstellar relations law.
In terms of criminal law, a series of criminal acts that seriously endanger the safety of the universe and the lives and property of residents, as well as their corresponding penalties, are clearly defined. For example, intentionally launching interstellar wars, carrying out large-scale genocide, and using illegal biological or energy weapons to attack other civilizations are all classified as cosmic felonies. The punishment for these crimes will be severe, and may include restricting the interstellar activities of the criminal civilization, confiscating part or all of its rights to develop cosmic resources, and even, in extreme cases, life imprisonment or exile to a specific cosmic restricted area for the main criminal.
Civil law focuses on resolving private disputes between space residents. This includes legal issues involving personal relationships such as marriage, family, and inheritance, as well as civil compensation issues caused by infringement and breach of contract. In cross-civilization marriage relationships, the law stipulates the rights and obligations of both parties, such as the principles for handling issues such as property distribution and child support. For infringements, whether it is physical harm caused to other passengers due to spacecraft collisions during interstellar travel, or infringement of other civilizations' intellectual property rights during cultural exchanges, there are corresponding compensation and liability identification standards.
Commercial law is crucial to the growing interstellar trade. It unifies the rules for the conclusion, performance and termination of interstellar contracts, and stipulates the quality standards, payment methods and dispute resolution mechanisms in trade. For example, in the sale of interstellar goods, the seller is required to truthfully provide detailed information about the goods, including the source, quality, performance, etc., and the buyer must pay the purchase price in the agreed manner and time limit. If quality problems or payment disputes arise, the two parties can resolve them through negotiation, arbitration or litigation.
Interstellar relations law is an important legal area for dealing with relations between different civilizations. It stipulates the sovereignty, freedom of navigation, and rights and obligations of each civilization in interstellar space to develop resources. Each civilization has sovereignty over its planet and the space within a certain range around it, and other civilizations may not enter without permission. During interstellar navigation, spacecraft must abide by established routes and traffic rules to avoid causing damage to other spacecraft or planets. For the joint development of cosmic resources, the participation methods, benefit distribution, and environmental protection responsibilities of each civilization are clarified.
In order to ensure that these laws can be effectively implemented, it is essential to establish a cross-civilization legal institution and judicial system. First, the Supreme Court of the Universe was established, which is the highest judicial institution in the universe's legal system. The judges of the Supreme Court are elected by representatives of high moral character and proficiency in law from various civilizations. They represent the legal wisdom and concepts of fairness and justice of different civilizations. These judges need to go through a strict selection process to ensure that they can hear cases impartially and selflessly, without being influenced by the interests of their own civilization.
Under the Supreme Court, interstellar courts at all levels have been established, distributed in various important galaxies and interstellar transportation hubs in the universe. These courts are responsible for hearing all types of cases in their regions, including civil, criminal and commercial disputes. The trial procedures of interstellar courts follow the principles of fairness, openness and transparency to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of the parties are fully protected. During the trial, both parties are allowed to hire lawyers to defend themselves. The lawyers can come from different civilizations. They need to be familiar with cosmic laws and related professional knowledge to provide professional legal advice to the parties.
At the same time, the Universe Arbitration Institution was established to handle some disputes that are less controversial and hope to be resolved in a more flexible way. The arbitration institution is composed of professional arbitrators, and the parties can choose arbitrators to hear their cases. The arbitration procedure is relatively simple and fast, and can be adjusted according to the needs and specific circumstances of the parties. Its ruling is legally binding and the parties must comply with it.
In addition, the law enforcement mechanism has been improved. A space police force has been established to maintain interstellar law and order and enforce the law. The space police force is composed of outstanding law enforcement personnel from various civilizations. After unified training and equipment, they perform patrols, investigate crimes, and arrest criminals in the universe. They have advanced law enforcement equipment, such as patrol ships that can travel quickly in interstellar space, energy restraint devices for subduing criminals, and advanced investigation equipment, which can help them perform their duties effectively.
In order to ensure the fair implementation of the law, a legal supervision system has also been established. This system includes internal supervision and external supervision. Internal supervision is the responsibility of the supervision department within the legal institution, which supervises the behavior of judges, arbitrators and law enforcement personnel to prevent abuse of power and judicial corruption. External supervision is jointly participated by representatives of various civilizations and residents of the universe, who can put forward opinions and suggestions on problems in the process of law enforcement and report violations of laws and disciplines.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan played an important role in the process of improving the legal system of the universe. Gu Qianning used her space ability to assist legal scholars and law enforcement officers to travel through the universe and collect legal materials and evidence from various civilizations. Her space is like a convenient mobile library and evidence library, which can quickly deliver the required information to where it is needed. In a complex commercial dispute case involving multiple civilizations, key trade contracts and transaction records were stored in databases on different planets. With her space ability, Gu Qianning quickly obtained these materials and sent them to the interstellar court in a timely manner, providing strong support for the fair trial of the case.
Chu Mohan actively participated in the establishment of legal institutions and the design of the judicial system. He had in-depth discussions with representatives of various civilizations, coordinated the interests of all parties, and ensured the representativeness and fairness of legal institutions. During the establishment of the Supreme Court of the Universe, he made many suggestions on the selection of judges and trial procedures, which were widely adopted. He also participated in the formulation of the training plan for the Universe Police Force, providing law enforcement officers with training content on the cultural and legal characteristics of different civilizations, and improving the ability of law enforcement officers in cross-civilization law enforcement.
As the legal system of the universe gradually improves, it has a profound impact on the development of the universe. Under a unified legal framework, various civilizations can more safely carry out interstellar exchanges and cooperation. Interstellar trade is booming, and merchants no longer worry about losses due to legal differences because they know that there are fair laws and strong judicial institutions to protect them. Cultural exchanges between different civilizations are also smoother, and people freely share knowledge, art, and scientific and technological achievements on the premise of respecting the law.
At a grand interstellar cultural festival, artists, scholars and ordinary residents from various civilizations gathered together. They displayed their cultural treasures and exchanged ideas and skills without the worries of unclear laws in the past, such as infringement of intellectual property rights or conflicts caused by cultural misunderstandings. This cultural festival became an important milestone in the integration of cosmic cultures and promoted the birth of new cultural forms and ideas.
In terms of interstellar relations, conflicts between civilizations have significantly decreased. The situation that was once tense due to resource competition or navigation disputes has been eased. When conflicts arise, both sides are more willing to resolve them through legal means rather than resorting to force. For example, in one galaxy, two neighboring planetary civilizations had a disagreement over the joint development of resources in an asteroid belt. But instead of clashing as before, they submitted the issue to the interstellar court. After a fair trial and ruling, the two sides readjusted their resource development plans in accordance with legal provisions and achieved peaceful coexistence and common development.
In the future development of the universe, the improvement of the legal system will be an ongoing process. As new civilizations are constantly discovered and science and technology continue to advance, new legal issues will also arise. However, the foundation laid by Gu Qianning, Chu Mohan and all those who have worked hard for the construction of cosmic law will provide a solid guarantee for the harmony and prosperity of the universe. Their achievements will be like bright stars, illuminating the path of the universe's residents in their pursuit of fairness and justice, making the universe an orderly and vibrant home.
