Chapter 20: It's time for you to know more about things

At this time, what Dai Bingcheng was most worried about was that Li Zhen's stubborn temper would flare up again and say something that he didn't know the depths. He understands Ying Gong's attitude, but that doesn't mean he likes to hear other words come out of other people's mouths as straightforwardly. This kind of thing is always tacitly good, and it is not pleasant for anyone to lift the veil in person.

However...... Li Zhen really made a mistake again. In the end, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

He didn't care about Dai Bingcheng's eyes at all, and took a deep breath: "Ying Gong, I don't know if what I think is right. ”

Ying Ziyang said lightly: "You speak." ”

"Okay." Li Zhen looked like he was going to battle. In fact, he had been holding back some words for a long time. Many young people have the habit of pointing out the country, and he used to be no exception. Although it was embarrassing to say that he and his former classmates had no intention of studying the political system in the first place—they were just talking.

It's just that the results obtained by the private debates between each other in the past are now completely entrusted to an out-and-out feudal official...... Now there was finally a hint of real excitement in his heart.

"I don't think it's anything I can do. As long as people are still people, there is no way to do it. Li Zhen said in a deep voice, "Just as all kinds of living things have a limit on their natural lifespan, so is a country made up of people. No matter how perfect a system may be at the beginning, once it has been in operation for a while, it will be eroded by people's desires. Of course, those who have gained power do not want to lose it again—even if there are one or two people with noble aspirations and selflessness. But that's in the minority. Those who hold power as a whole are destined to find ways to hold on to their own power. And they have their own relatives and friends, and they are also eager for the benefits of power to cover their relatives and friends just like ordinary people. ”

Therefore, with the convenience of being in power, they will use the rules and even break the rules to achieve their own goals, so that the otherwise perfect state apparatus will gradually become diseased and difficult. Even if we can set up another rule to supervise this power, the executor is still a human after all, and the power of supervision itself is a kind of power, and there are benefits, so in the end they will definitely be reduced to a hill. ”

"So, as long as humans exist. As long as the one who holds the power is still a human being. It is inevitable that a country will go from health to decay and then from decay to extinction. The previous dynasty was like this, and this dynasty is ...... And so it should be. All we can do is to change the blood of this system and let it start from scratch again and again, forever. ”

I can't tell whether Ying Ziyang is satisfied or dissatisfied. His face was unfazed. looked at Li Zhen carefully. said: "You're not done yet. Don't worry. Go on. This is not the Governor's Palace. ”

Li Zhen looked at Dai Bingcheng again. Director Dai's face seemed to have changed a little better now...... I don't know which of his own words soothed his heart.

So he continued: "However, I have read a book written by a man before. The man wasn't a well-known scholar either, a pamphlet I found in a corner of the school library's shelves. The man's pen name was Bearded Max. It's a German. It seems to be something that was persecuted by the German authorities more than a hundred years ago and exiled to the Reich, and then written down. The name of the book is Sociology. ”

Ying Ziyang thought for a while: "Oh? I haven't heard of this book. ”

"The content of that book is quite interesting, and I read it as a novel at first." Li Zhen smiled, "That person fictionalized a world in the book. It is said that in that world, crops can grow naturally, and the grain and vegetables harvested every year can be enough for the people of the whole world to eat - and there is no need for people to do such things as harvesting crops, which are done by robots. The other tasks in that world did not require human hands, and were all done by machines. He said that it was a world of extremely developed materiality. ”

Under such a premise, he felt that people could be completely equal to each other. Because manipulating machines requires human hands after all, it is the only labor of people in that world. He said that at that time, because of the great satisfaction of material things, everyone had no special pursuits, and everyone's morals were extremely noble. He felt that the state established on the basis of that kind of society should be a new form and would never perish. ”

Ying Ziyang glanced at Dai Bingcheng and laughed: "Oh? And this kind of society? It's like a novel. So do you think he has a point? ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "In his time, in the eyes of people more than a hundred years ago, it may make sense. But now that we look at it, we still think it's a bit ridiculous - he still hasn't jumped out of the limitations of the times. More than 100 years ago, it was the First World War, and the standard of living at that time is of course extremely backward today, so I think that person must have had a bad life. Therefore, the great satisfaction of material aspects is regarded as the ultimate goal pursued by people, and they feel that when they are satisfied with material things, everything is satisfied, and there is no strife. In fact, this is the same as the peasant woman who thinks that the emperor uses a golden pot to fry fritters, and thinks that the emperor must be the happiest person in the world. ”

"You see, the level of development of our time, if he suddenly came here, he would definitely feel that today's material life has been greatly satisfied. But the society he imagined had not yet arrived. So I don't think even if another one or two hundred years go from now, and the world really develops into what he described, the society he imagined would not have appeared. Because his theory has one of the biggest loopholes - he ignores human desire itself. ”

"Maybe then all material things can be satisfied, but human desires themselves cannot be destroyed. Some negative emotions, such as jealousy and hatred, are even more impossible to eradicate – once eradicated, people are not human. Therefore, there will be crime, so institutions are also needed to maintain social order and organize the development of society. Then there will be those in power. Maybe those in power don't need to collect money anymore, but what about other things? Li Zhen hesitated slightly, "What about the desire to control?" For example, what about the opposite sex? ”

Ying Ziyang and Dai Bingcheng smiled.

Li Zhen's face flushed slightly: "These two things are definitely the goals that people have been chasing." And the ambitions, greed, and hatred that arise from such desires will eventually corrupt this seemingly perfect state apparatus, as I have said before. ”

Therefore, as long as human beings are still human beings, and as long as human beings are still subject to the constraints of society as a whole, such a thing as prosperity and replacement is an inevitable result. But this is also reasonable—what can be in this world that is eternal and immortal? Unless ......" Speaking of this, Li Zhen was stunned. He looked directly at Ying Ziyang and Dai Bingcheng, and muttered, "Unless...... The power of each person is incredibly strong, so strong that the power of society as a whole cannot restrain him, or the cost of restraining him exceeds the limit of what society as a whole can bear. ”

His voice faded into a thoughtful voice.

Ying Ziyang actually waited for him for a while. At this time, Ying Zhaoran also came out of Ying Zhaoran's room and asked a young woman to serve hot tea to several people. Ying Ziyang took a sip of the teacup, and looked up at Li Zhen from the hot air: "What did you think of?" ”

"I thought about it...... Species. Li Zhen raised his head slightly distractedly, "If it is a society composed of species, if they are incredibly powerful, if the struggle between them is far beyond the bottom limit that that society can bear, then will they have to restrain their desires under this threat - if they can't hurt each other by all means, then they will inevitably choose to flee from each other, forming a loose individual alliance, and will only communicate with each other when necessary, avoiding too much contact to stimulate conflicts." So ......"

Ying Ziyang put down the teacup, and the look on his face finally became solemn: "So what are they doing or are they dying?" ”

Li Zhen was shocked. At the same time, I began to regret - how did I get the topic here?

Of course, he didn't fully know what forces had destroyed such a powerful race—his previous inferences were based on his own judgment. If all species were adults, they would be far beyond human imagination. Such an existence that can not be afraid of heat and cold, and at the same time can use the power beyond the laws of physics, and if they fight with each other, it must be as they say - the cost is too great. No one can destroy anyone, no one can defeat anyone.

So, the amount of power to destroy them......

Is it the power that has been mysteriously hidden in his body so far? Is there a power that can ignore their psionic powers?

He couldn't help but think of what Ying Ran had just said to him.

"What the hell are you".

I...... What exactly is it?

He once made it clear to Dai Bingcheng that he could ignore the spiritual energy of the species. Later, he underwent some tests in the North Hospital, but did not come to any definite conclusions. The Ying Gong in front of him must also know about this matter.

So......

Li Zhen simply raised his head: "I don't know." But as far as I'm concerned, I can ignore their psionic powers. As mentioned in the previous information, species may be the ancestors of all living things today, so I think this ability of mine must have also appeared in the community of species. Maybe that's why they died. ”

Ying Ziyang nodded: "You know yourself very well." You're right, you do have the ability. So we let you come here today because we all think it's time for you to learn more about it. (To be continued.) )
