Chapter 315: Poison with honey
Gao Ye was very alarmist and wanted to scare Meng Chao.
He barely touched Meng Chao's nose and said, "You didn't expect that, did you?"
Meng Chao's face was calm and indifferent.
Takano was a little disappointed, but he could only continue with his own thoughts: "We believe that after decades of colonial war, Longcheng will definitely split into two completely different classes.
"The first level is the extraordinary.
"The extraordinary beings of that time will greatly surpass the extraordinary beings of today in terms of strength and power.
"They will master the ability to destroy heaven and earth, own a super enterprise a hundred times larger than now, conquer tribes and kingdoms of alien natives one after another, and even become 'gods' in the eyes of alien natives.
"When the time comes, these superior beings can use drones, thinking chariots and biochemical beasts to build an army that is absolutely loyal to themselves and even an extension of their own limbs.
"If you want to get slaves and cannon fodder, you don't have to ask for help from Dragon City. You can use the natives from other worlds to implement their will.
"Such extraordinary beings no longer have to be bound by Dragon City, nor do they have to bear any responsibilities to ordinary citizens. They can do as they please and pursue their own strength and the interests of super corporations.
"If at that time, they are still willing to maintain the existence of the Survival Committee and defend the glory of Dragon City, it is only because the Survival Committee and Dragon City have become their tools, helping them to plunder more resources.
'On the journey to evolve into 'Superman', provide more powerful fuel.
"The second class is ordinary people.
"I estimate that the material conditions and basic security guarantees for ordinary people in Dragon City in the future may not be as miserable as those of ordinary citizens during the rise of the empire in the Earth Age.
"Because extraordinary beings have gathered great power into one body, there is no need to exploit their former compatriots.
"But the extraordinary person also has no motivation at all to invest resources on his compatriots so that they can become stronger than himself.
"This has nothing to do with morality, it's just a very simple arithmetic problem.
"The same resources invested in oneself may make oneself stronger in cultivation, break through the limits of life, and master new magical powers. However, if invested in compatriots, they can only cultivate a third-rate master who is slightly better than cannon fodder.
Why is there any need to do this?
"In the end, even if the Dragon City Civilization really conquers the entire other world, the life of ordinary people may not be much better than it is now. It is very likely that they will still live like this - sleeping in a narrow space like a honeycomb, eating earthworms every day
Synthetic food prepared from meat and monster sewers cannot compete with extraordinary people in terms of intelligence, and cannot compete with drones and alien slave labor in terms of cost.
Relying on the welfare provided by extraordinary beings, and relieving mental depression through various sensory stimulation online entertainment, over time, it becomes a burden, scum, and parasite to the entire civilization.
"Classmate Meng Chao, this is the future of Dragon City. Don't you think it's very scary?"
"Well……"
Meng Chao blinked his eyes and wanted to say, "Is there such a good thing?"
Although Takano's deduction is not unreasonable.
A future in which the vast majority of ordinary people are reduced to burdens and parasites is indeed terrifying.
However, Meng Chao has seen a more terrifying future.
Compared to a future in which the entire Dragon City turns to ashes, the "bad future" described by Takano is simply heaven.
Meng Chao scratched his head and gradually understood Gao Ye's worries.
He, and perhaps his friends, were worried that after Dragon City conquered the entire alien world, the extraordinary beings would expand, deteriorate, and fall.
But this question is really a bit unfounded.
In other words, they think too beautifully.
The fact is that Dragon City cannot conquer other worlds at all.
No matter ordinary people or extraordinary people, facing the ravages of gods and demons from other worlds, they can only hold together for warmth, struggle hard, and eventually die together.
"Now, you should know who 'we' are."
Gao Ye didn't know the countless thoughts that flashed through Meng Chao's mind. He thought Meng Chao had been frightened by him. He raised his head and said calmly, "We just don't want such a future to become a reality. We just want to limit the extraordinary."
The power that allows extraordinary people and ordinary people to achieve balance."
"etc."
Meng Chao said, "Director Gao, you are also an extraordinary person."
"Yes, I am a transcendent, and you are also a transcendent."
Takano let out a long sigh and said, "But before we become extraordinary beings, we are human beings first. Even if we become extraordinary beings, we are not prepared to betray the interests of human civilization, right?"
"If the 'bad future' I just mentioned comes true, 1% of the extraordinary people will become stronger and stronger, so strong that they surpass the limits and definitions of human beings and can exist independently from Dragon City, the earth and human civilization; 99% of ordinary people will
But they are getting weaker and weaker, losing the spirit and ability to fight for civilization, and becoming a burden and parasite. Do you think this is our original intention to colonize other worlds? Such two classes can defend the interests of human civilization.
?"
Meng Chao thought for a while and said: "Director Gao, even if you are not unfounded, isn't it too early to think about this issue now? It's like a couple who just bought a lottery ticket and are wondering how to distribute the 500 million grand prize.
And there’s no need to start a quarrel, right?”
"No, it's necessary. If you don't think and act now, it will be too late."
Takano said seriously, "The extraordinary ones are getting stronger day by day, and the gap between them and ordinary people is getting wider day by day. Now, if ordinary people unite, there may be a way to check and balance the extraordinary people. When the extraordinary people really control the
Compared with the power of gods and demons, how can ordinary people achieve a balance with extraordinary beings?"
"Are you thinking too much about extraordinary beings?"
Meng Chao frowned deeply and said, "No matter how powerful extraordinary people are, they all originate from ordinary people. Many extraordinary people also want to defend the interests of all mankind, including ordinary people, from the bottom of their hearts. The Extraordinary Tower and the Survival Committee also advocate that unity is greater than
In everything, with greater power comes greater responsibility.
"In recent years, haven't you heard the two slogans put forward by the Extraordinary Tower? The blood of the strong must be shed for the weak! The Extraordinary is the sword of human civilization!
"I believe that extraordinary people who uphold this spirit will not completely lose control."
"Of course I have heard these two slogans, but don't you think these two slogans are very scary?"
Takano sneered, "The so-called 'the blood of the strong must be shed for the weak' is very inspiring on the surface, but subtly, it divides human beings into 'strong' and 'weak', and highlights the obligations of the strong.
, but you must know that obligations and rights are equal. When the blood of the strong is really shed for the weak, enjoys more resources than the weak, and even asks for compensation from the weak, isn't it natural?
"At the same time, this slogan also greatly stimulates the inertia of the weak. It will make the weak feel that bloodshed and sacrifice are only the obligation of the strong, and they only need to curl up under the wings of the strong.
"The so-called 'extraordinary ones are the sabers of human civilization' is also a truth. It seems like a heroic slogan, but in fact it concentrates the power to exercise force on the extraordinary ones. Whoever masters the saber controls everything.
One day, this sword changes direction, what should the weak do?
"Of course, I believe that the Transcendent Tower did not have the slightest malice when it threw out these two slogans. The vast majority of contemporary Transcendents will sincerely implement the spirit contained in these two slogans, fight for human civilization, and even sacrifice themselves.
.
"But people change.
"Even if this generation of extraordinary people does not change, their descendants, the next generation of extraordinary people, and the next generation of extraordinary people will also change.
"You just said, 'No matter how powerful the extraordinary beings are, they all originate from ordinary people.' That may be true now, but in fifty or one hundred years, when the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and grandfather of an extraordinary person,
Grandma... is an extraordinary person. Why does he believe from the bottom of his heart that he comes from ordinary people and has the responsibility to fight for ordinary people?
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that the words 'the blood of the strong must be shed for the weak' and 'the extraordinary is the sword of human civilization' will be given a new meaning and become poison laced with honey.
"In short, ordinary people who make up 99% of the total population must not place their hopes entirely on the morality and slogans of extraordinary people who make up 1% of the total population. Otherwise, the future of our civilization is destined to be bleak and bloody.
"The weak should not expect the strong to bleed for them without any reason or bottom line. The sword of human civilization should be every human being. Only when ordinary people and extraordinary people reach a balance of power can our civilization have a future and can colonial wars achieve real results.
Victory in the sense of the word.”
"Director Gao, you have convinced me."
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "But I still don't understand, what does these...the balance between ordinary people and extraordinary beings have to do with what happened to the 'spiritually created creatures'? Now the ordinary citizens of Dragon City, through practice, can also
You can awaken extraordinary power to check and balance high-level extraordinary beings and their super enterprises!"
"Yes, but what about the probability and trend?"
Takano said, "As various resources are increasingly concentrated in the hands of high-level extraordinary beings and super corporations, the entire cultivation system continues to become more complex and sophisticated. More and more supernatural powers must be built from a young age in order to achieve success. Ordinary
The cost of cultivation for the people is getting higher and higher, and the hope of achieving extraordinary things is getting slimmer and slimmer. The channels for rising in Dragon City are constantly narrowing, and "a noble son from a poor family" is gradually becoming a miracle. Ordinary people want to rely on conventional cultivation methods to counterattack.
And controlling life has become an impossible task. How can we check and balance the supremely powerful people and super corporations?
"Lucky people like you who are gifted and have many adventures are rare after all.
"For the vast majority of ordinary people, the 'paranormal road' in the conventional sense has been blocked.
