Chapter 291: Times Have Changed

After earthlings crossed over to the other world, they faced the invasion of zombie viruses and discovered their genetic potential, and the research on viruses greatly surpassed the earth era in terms of depth and breadth.

In the entire Dragon City, there are hundreds of virus research institutes, and the so-called "genetic medicine" is inseparable from the virus.

After the screening of the zombie crisis, the human beings who can survive to this day have greatly strengthened their immune systems and are not afraid of most viruses.

However, in order to ensure that the zombie crisis does not return, legitimate virus research institutes will take precautions in advance when preparing new viruses to ensure that the virus is not contagious to humans.

"In other words, this is very likely to be a 'surgical virus attack' specifically targeting the 'spirit creatures'?"

Meng Chao thought thoughtfully, "So, what happened to this giant sandworm that suddenly swelled several times, and also mastered a new skill, upgrading from a 'monster' to a 'super beast'?" ”

Takano was about to answer when an exclamation came from the screen monitoring the No. 4 garbage dump, and an entire piece of ground collapsed.

It turned out that this surface was composed of countless garbage, and it was drilled by giant sandworms, and it had long been crispy to the extreme.

In order to drag out the remains of the giant sandworm, the staff accidentally touched the most fragile structure underground, and smashed a lot of equipment underneath.

"I'll come."

Takano said in the communication channel.

Then, I sat down in the laboratory, a chair like a dental examination chair, but wrapped in dense tubing.

His head was gradually enveloped by a superbrain.

The pipeline was shining, as if spiritual power was pouring out along the eyebrows and temples, along the network, to the No. 4 garbage dump.

The unthinkable happened.

A slightly clumsy giant sandworm suddenly raised its head and burrowed into the depths of the sewage pipe with ten times the dexterity.

Like a scalpel that reaches the lesion, it pinpoints the location of the giant sandworm and devours the garbage and rocks around it that block the staff's progress, quickly clearing a passage.

As the winch slowly rotated, the steel cable dragged the soft cloth, and finally dragged the corpse of the giant sandworm to the ground.

The staff cheered.

Gao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, took off the super brain, stared intently at the super giant sandworm on the screen, and muttered, "It's so beautiful......"

"Director Gao, were you manipulating that giant sandworm just now?"

Meng Chao asked with interest, "I never knew that the beast master could manipulate biochemical beasts from such a distance. ”

"Now that the network in Dragon City is becoming more and more stable, and 9G technology is also enough to conduct human brain waves and mental power, the beast master and the biochemical beast do not have to stay together - of course, they must also have strong mental power to carry out remote control."

Gao Ye replied casually, looked at the sewage pipe on the screen, pondered for a moment, and said, "When I remotely controlled the giant sandworm to drill down just now, I found that in the depths of the sewage pipe, there is still a lot of industrial sewage and sludge soaked by chemical waste.

"I wonder if it was the giant sandworm that devoured the intricate sludge and was stimulated by the 'mutant rabies virus' to produce an unknown mutation.

"This point will not be concluded until we take samples of industrial sewage and polluted sludge for further testing and experimentation.

"In any case, this super giant sandworm is an out-and-out miracle, how spectacular, how beautiful, this is the most perfect flesh and blood machine, much superior to the clumsy scrap copper and rotten iron of the 'heavenly machinery', this is the future of our civilization!"

Meng Chao stared at Gao Ye for a long time: "Director Gao, you seem to be very ...... of rune machinery Disgusted? ”

Takano smiled, "Our 'Monster University' graduates are very disgusted with rune machinery, aren't they?" ”

"That's right."

Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "Rune machinery consumes more spars, the failure rate is higher, and the pollution is also very serious. ”

"In addition, rune machinery has one of the most serious problems - with the continuous development of automation technology, various new functions of runes are constantly discovered and studied, and it is gradually crowding out the position of the vast majority of ordinary people."

Gao Ye was very happy to find the super giant sandworm, and his attitude towards Meng Chao was much better, his face was full of interest, and he had the intention of introducing him as a confidant.

Many people with a withdrawn personality are like this, usually their mouths are closed like a floodgate, and once the floodgates are opened, they often gush endlessly.

"Today's Dragon City is in a very embarrassing contradiction."

"On the one hand, the high-level leaders of Dragon City are soberly aware that it is impossible to conquer and rule the vast Otherworld by relying on tens of millions of people, and if they want to implement effective rule, they can only continue to develop networks and automation technology, and replace humans with rune machinery and superbrains.

"But on the other hand, until we expand around and seize enough living space, Dragon City will not be able to provide enough and dignified jobs for tens of millions of citizens.

"So, when the rune machines equipped with the latest model of superbrains replaced humans in one position after another, showing ten times higher efficiency than humans, there were millions, if not tens of millions, of young people who could not find jobs.

"What will happen if such rune technology and automation technology continue to develop?

"1% of transcendental people use psionic energy to transform their nerves, and the speed of neural information transmission reaches ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary people, and the gap between transcendents and ordinary people is like the gap between ordinary people and insects.

"For such extraordinary people, instead of leaving the work to ordinary people to do, it is better to use their own powerful mental power, through 9G or even 10G networks, remote-controlled drones, spider chariots, and various automated machinery to complete it - even after completing the work, it is better to pay out of their own pockets to feed ordinary people who have nothing to do than to make them clumsy and mess up the work.

"Over time, ordinary people lose the ability to work, no matter how hard they work, even if they are willing to study and work 24 hours a day, they cannot work day and night in a hedron mine with super radiation like a machine.

"Gradually, ordinary people can no longer find their place in civilization - for the first time in human history, 99% of human beings have become useless, don't you think such a future is very scary?"

"No, it's not as exaggerated as you say, is it?"

Meng Chao reluctantly smiled, "I have learned, in the history of the earth, during the industrial revolution, there were many people who were worried that machinery would replace human beings, and workers even rushed into the factory and smashed the rumbling machinery, as a result, in two or three hundred years, human beings were not only replaced by machinery, but also developed a brilliant civilization, and also added countless new jobs."

"Wouldn't you have some ...... Worried? ”

"The Industrial Revolution was accompanied by bloody colonization, the so-called splendid civilization was to throw hundreds of millions of ordinary people into the mechanical gears, with their blood and tears poured out, when colonization reached the limit, civilization also reached the limit, had to use two world wars and the Great Depression to restart."

Gao Ye said lightly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of moralist who is compassionate and compassionate, and I don't have the slightest opinion on colonizing the Otherworld, enslaving the creatures of the Otherworld, and squeezing out their last drop of blood and sweat."

"I'm just quite skeptical that the resistance of otherworldly creatures is as weak as the backward civilization on Earth in the past, and it is possible to conquer a country covered with gold with dozens of arquebuses, can such a good thing really happen to the people of Dragon City?

"If not, with limited space and resources, 99% of ordinary people become a burden, a burden, a waste.

"Don't think I'm alarmist, and don't think that the first industrial revolution did not erase the meaning of the existence of ordinary people, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth industrial revolutions can never be erased - in this world where the rate of evolution and mutation is hundreds of times faster than that of the earth, no species, not even human beings, who claim to be the spirit of all things, can never be eliminated.

"In fact, today's 'thinking machines' engraved with runes, driven by hedrons, and implanted with superbrains and even monster central nervous systems, are fundamentally different from those of the first industrial revolution.

"The latter cannot replace 90% of human functions, and humans are still needed to operate, maintain and repair them.

"The former continues to develop, but it can operate on its own, maintain and repair, and even, in some unmanned factories with a high degree of automation, rune machinery can produce rune machinery, and the whole process does not require human participation at all.

"What's more, humanity today is also very different from the first industrial revolution.

"On Earth, no matter how different ordinary people are from those in high power, there is at least one thing that is almost the same, and that is their flesh and blood.

"Even the smartest person in the upper echelons cannot think a hundred times as well as ordinary people.

"Even the strongest person in the upper echelons would not be able to defeat hundreds of ordinary people on their own.

"Even if the superior has hundreds of state-of-the-art machines, he needs thousands of ordinary people to work for him, and perhaps hundreds of guards to manage them, and these workers and guards have families, and their families are ordinary people, and in this way, the strength of thousands of ordinary people can still compete with the superior and his machinery.

This makes the superior dare not ignore the existence of ordinary people.

"In order to appease ordinary people, whether they are afraid of the anger of ordinary people, or greedy for profits from ordinary people, the superior has to rack their brains to maintain the balance between themselves and ordinary people.

"Even if the time goes back thousands of years, in the bloodiest and darkest era of slavery, human beings as slaves at least have the value of being enslaved and oppressed, and the existence of this value allows slaves to play games with slave owners, and stage a vigorous story that can be sung and cried.

"However, times have changed, Meng Chao, times have changed.

"The transcendent itself is not terrible, and the fully automated rune machinery equipped with the superbrain is not terrible, but the combination of the two is enough to deprive 99% of ordinary people of the value of being enslaved and squeezed, so that they will no longer have any use!"
