Chapter Fifty-Six: Different History
The subtitle of this chapter: Murong himself's favorite fourth chapter has also been bolded...... That's why I think Brave New World is more predictable than 1984.

"It's a shame that the SCP Foundation is really not a joke!"
"Mr. Hoover, do you think that a gentleman like me would come to your house and show you such a trick just to play a joke on you?!"
"Yes, the name Foreign Object Containment Procedure is a bit weird. But ......"
Our Master Yuan sighed and put on a posture of "Those who know me are worried, and those who don't know me are called my brain...... Well, what's the matter. "POSE SAID:
"Mr. Hoover, I know you now lead a department. This department is dedicated to dealing with anarchists, Blanquists, Bolsheviks, labour activists, radicals......"
Blanquism is named after the French revolutionary Louis-Auguste Blanqui, who advocated a violent revolution relying on the conspiracy of a few revolutionaries, overthrowing the rule of the bourgeoisie, establishing a revolutionary dictatorship of the few, and immediately realizing communism.
In fact, the Paris Commune can be said to be a practice of Blanquism.
However, neither Marx nor Engels were very fond of Blanquism, and they opposed the conspiracy of the "revolutionary alchemists" who tried to artificially pre-empt the course of revolutionary development.
Later, the Mensheviks used Blanquism to refer to Comrade Lenin's theories, which he vehemently denied.
In Europe and the United States, however, Blanquism and anarchism have converged in a sense, but there are subtle differences between the two. Wall Street BOOOOM is more like a Blanquist ploy.
"Mr. Hoover, I'm going to ask you......"
"Aren't these people 'foreign objects' to the United States of America?"
"Shouldn't these foreign objects be 'contained'?"
"Isn't there a 'procedure' to contain these foreign objects?"
Hoover was now completely calm, and he even felt a little "close to my heart" when he heard this. So he asked suspiciously, "Mr. Yuan, is your SCP Foundation also an anti-communist organization?" ”
"Hahaha......" Yuan Yan looked up at the sky and smiled, and then put on a "summer worm can't speak ice" POSE said, "Mr. Hoover, how many years of communism has it been?" Well, how many years of capitalism again? ”
"Compared with the history of our mankind, what communism and what capitalism is is only a short moment. Of course, I'm not talking about the fact that the guy named Jehovah created the universe 5,000 years ago. I'm talking about real history, history that is not known to the general public......"
Our Master Yuan looked at Mr. Hoover, who looked disbelieving, and then at Mr. Aiden, who had not had time to fool thoroughly last night, and began to tell the story of the past......
"Gentlemen, though it may be a little offensive to your devout faith, I will tell you that Mr. Charles Darwin's opinion is close to the truth: we humans are indeed monkeys. Yes, evolution is not the exact truth, but it is very close to the truth. ”
He pointed to his head and said, "Human wisdom is the result of evolution, just like the wings of birds, the claws of beasts, and the swiftness of grass beasts. We succeeded, and we survived and got smarter, and the process wasn't so mysterious. If I had to give some meaning to human beings, it would be a miracle of nature. ”
"But wisdom does not mean civilization!"
"Gentlemen, our 'thrilling jump' from primitive man to civilized man is not so ...... NATURE! ”
"Have you considered such a question, what were we doing before the birth of civilization?"
"We hid in caves, sat around little campfires, and feared things we didn't understand—explanations of how the sun rose, monsters with human heads and birds, living stones, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain...... We call them 'gods' and 'demons' and ask them for forgiveness and prayer for salvation. ”
"Why are we doing this? Because there were indeed 'gods' and 'demons' at that time...... Gentlemen, they are completely different from the 'gods' and 'demons' you imagine, and some of them are even more bizarre than you think. ”
"Then there are certain 'freaks' among us who do not feel that the 'gods' and 'demons' are invincible. In fact, after generations of hard work, they finally found that if they found the right way, they could defeat those strange beings. And these people are the founders of our SCP Foundation. ”
"Gentlemen, you have to ask, what is the benefit of defeating these 'gods' and 'demons'? The good thing is that we humans are free from the shackles of mind and body. ”
"More than 1,900 years ago, the predecessors of the SCP Foundation discovered the existence of such a foreign object, and they conceived the idea of encouraging the Jews to arrest it and crucify it. One of the seniors also disguised himself as a Roman soldier and contained the object using SCP Foundation procedures. By the way, that program came to be called the Spear of Longinus......"
"Yes, yes, sorry, Mr. Yuan. Are you saying that Jesus is a foreign body?! Mr. Hoover couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Yanqi said as a matter of course: "Of course, the carpenter's son of Nazareth is a foreign body. Mr. Hoover, have you ever seen a normal human mother being a virgin? He also caused the blind to regain his sight, the leprosy cured, and the five loaves and two fishes. ”
"Gentlemen, you have to understand. He did not have powers because he was the Son of God, but because he had powers, he called himself the Son of God. ”
"You're asking why the predecessors of the SCP Foundation are containing that foreign object. Looking at history, the death of that foreign object has caused such a big impact, if it really exists, what will the world become? ”
"By the way, you also have to ask why the SCP Foundation didn't completely eliminate its influence and simply destroy Christianity completely."
"I have to be honest, we don't allow it, we can't do it."
"Because the next thing is the choice of the human beings, since they have chosen the doctrine of foreign objects, then there is nothing we can do."
Yuan Yanqian picked up his glass and took a sip of whiskey, he said that he naturally needed to take a break, and by the way, he also let the two digest such a shocking "example".
"Because of the efforts of the SCP Foundation, their numbers are decreasing and our numbers are increasing. When we fear fewer and fewer things, we begin to look at the world more rationally. However, the inexplicable does not disappear, as if the universe was deliberately trying to appear absurd and incredible......"
