Chapter 315: Honey-smeared poison
Gao Ye was very alarmist and scared Meng Chao.
He almost stuck to Meng Chao's nose and said, "You kid didn't expect it, right?" ”
Meng Chao's face was calm and indifferent.
Gao Ye was a little disappointed, but he could only follow his own train of thought: "We think that after decades of colonization wars, Dragon City will inevitably split into two worlds apart.
"The first class is the transcendent.
"The transcendents of that time, both in strength and power, would greatly surpass those of today.
"They will have the ability to destroy the world, have super enterprises that are a hundred times larger than they are now, conquer one tribe and kingdom after another of the natives of the other world, and even become 'gods' in the eyes of the natives of the other world.
"When the time comes, these transcendent beings who are high above can use drones, thinking chariots, and biochemical pet beasts to build an army that is absolutely loyal to them, and even an extension of their own limbs.
"If you want to get slaves and cannon fodder, you don't have to seek the help of Dragon City, you can use the natives of the other world to carry out their will.
"Such an extraordinary person no longer has to be bound by Dragon City, nor does he have to bear any responsibility to ordinary citizens, and can do whatever he wants, pursuing his own power and the interests of a super enterprise.
"If then. They are also willing to maintain the existence of the Survival Committee and are willing to defend the glory of Dragon City, simply because both the Survival Committee and Dragon City have become their tools, which can help them plunder more resources and provide stronger fuel in their journey from 'human' to 'superman'.
"The second class is ordinary people.
"I estimate that the ordinary people of Dragon City in the future may not be as miserable as ordinary citizens in terms of material conditions and basic security in terms of material conditions and basic security in the Earth Age.
"Because the transcendent has gathered great power in one, there is no need to oppress the former compatriots.
"But the transcendent also has no motivation in the slightest, and invests resources in his compatriots, so that his compatriots can cultivate stronger than himself.
"It's not about morality, it's just a very simple arithmetic problem.
"The same resources, invested in themselves, it is possible to make themselves cultivate stronger, break through the limits of life, and control new supernatural powers, and put them on compatriots, you can only cultivate a third-rate master who is slightly stronger than cannon fodder, why is there any need for this extra move?
"In the end, even if the Dragon City civilization really conquers the entire Otherworld, the lives of ordinary people may not be much better than they are now, and it is very likely that they will still live such a life - sleeping in a narrow space like a beehive, eating synthetic food prepared from earthworm meat and monsters every day, unable to compete with the transcendent intellectually, unable to compete with drones and indigenous slave labor in the other world in terms of cost, high or low, unable to find a job, can only rely on the welfare of the transcendent's alms, mental anguish, It is resolved through various sensory stimulation of online entertainment, and over time, it becomes a burden, dregs, and parasite of the entire civilization.
"Classmate Meng Chao, this is the future of Dragon City, don't you think it's very terrifying?"
"Uh......"
Meng Chao blinked his eyes and wanted to say, "And this kind of good thing?" ”
Although Takano's deduction is not unreasonable.
The future in which the vast majority of ordinary people become burdens and parasites is indeed terrifying.
However, Meng Chao has seen a more terrifying future.
Compared to the future in which the entire Dragon City turned into ashes, the "bad future" depicted by Takano is simply heavenly.
Meng Chao scratched his head, gradually understanding Gao Ye's worries.
He, and perhaps his companions, feared that after Dragon City conquered the entire Otherworld, the transcendent would swell, deteriorate, and degenerate.
But this question is a bit unfounded.
Or rather, they think too beautifully.
The truth is that Dragon City can't conquer the Otherworld at all.
Whether it is an ordinary person or an extraordinary person, in the face of the ravages of the gods and demons of the other world, they can only huddle together to keep warm, struggle, and finally end up together.
"By now, it's time for you to know who 'we' are."
Gao Ye didn't know the countless thoughts that flashed in Meng Chao's mind in an instant, and thought that Meng Chao had been shocked by himself, 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 power of the transcendent, so that the transcendent and the ordinary can reach a balance." ”
"Wait."
Meng Chao said, "Director Gao, you are also extraordinary. ”
"That's right, I'm a transcendent, and you're a transcendent too."
Takano let out a long sigh and said, "But before we become transcendental, we are first and foremost a human being, and even if we become transcendent, we are not prepared to betray the interests of human civilization, right?"
"If the 'bad future' I just said comes true, the 1% of the transcendent will become stronger and stronger, strong enough to surpass the limits and definitions of human beings, and can exist independently of Dragon City, the earth, and human civilization; 99% of ordinary people are getting weaker and weaker, losing the spirit and ability to fight for civilization, and becoming a burden and a parasite - do you think this is our original intention of colonizing the other world, and can such two classes defend the interests of human civilization? ”
Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "Director Gao, even if you are not unfounded, is it too early to think about this issue now?" It's as if two couples just bought a lottery ticket, and they quarreled over how to distribute the 500 million jackpot after winning it, so there's no need for that, right? ”
"No, it's necessary, if you don't think and act now, it's too late."
Gao Ye said seriously, "The transcendent is getting stronger day by day, and the gap between ordinary people is getting bigger and bigger day by day, now, ordinary people are united, maybe there is a way to balance the transcendental, and when the transcendent really controls the power comparable to gods and demons, how can ordinary people balance with the transcendent?" ”
"Do you think too much of the transcendental?"
Meng Chao frowned deeply and said, "No matter how powerful the transcendent is, it comes from ordinary people, and many transcendent people also want to defend the interests of all mankind, including ordinary people, from the bottom of their hearts.
"In recent years, haven't you heard the two slogans put forward by the Transcendent Tower? The blood of the strong will be shed for the weak! The Transcendent is the sword of human civilization!
"I believe that transcendental beings who uphold this spirit will not completely get out of control."
"Of course I've heard these two slogans, but don't you think they're terrible?"
Gao Ye sneered, "The so-called 'blood of the strong should be shed for the weak', which 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, enjoy more resources than the weak, and even ask for compensation from the weak, isn't it all taken for granted?"
At the same time, this slogan also greatly stimulates the inertia of the weak, and will make the weak feel that bloodshed and sacrifice is only the obligation of the strong, and they only need to curl up under the wings of the strong.
"The so-called 'transcendent is the sword of human civilization', it is also a truth, it seems to be a heroic slogan, but in fact, the power to exercise force is concentrated on the body of the transcendent, whoever masters the sword, who controls everything, in case one day, this sword turns around, what should the weak do?
Of course, I believe that when the Transcendent Tower threw out these two slogans, there was not the slightest malice, and the vast majority of transcendent beings of the present generation will sincerely implement the spirit contained in these two slogans, fight for human civilization, and even sacrifice.
"But people change.
"Even if this generation of transcendents remains unchanged, their descendants, the next generation of transcendentals, and the next generation of transcendents will also change.
"You just said, 'No matter how powerful the transcendent is, it comes from ordinary people,' and it may be so now, but in another fifty years, another hundred years, to be the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother of a transcendent being...... They are all transcendental, 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 am afraid that the words 'the blood of the strong will be shed for the weak' and 'the transcendent are the sword of human civilization' will be given a whole new meaning and become a poison smeared with honey.
"In short, ordinary people, who make up 99% of the population, must not pin their hopes entirely on the morality and slogans of the transcendent who make up 1% of the population, otherwise, the future of our civilization is doomed to be bleak and bloody.
"The weak should not expect the strong to shed blood for them without reason and bottom line, the sword of human civilization should be every human being, only when ordinary people and transcendent people reach a balance of power, our civilization can have a future, and the colonization war can achieve victory in the true sense."
"Director Gao, you convinced me."
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "But I still don't understand, these ...... What does the balance between ordinary and transcendent beings have to do with what happens to the 'Spiritual Creatures'? Now the ordinary citizens of Dragon City, through cultivation, can also awaken extraordinary power to balance high-level transcendents and their super enterprises! ”
"Yes, but what about the odds and trends?"
Gao Ye said, "As various resources are increasingly concentrated in the hands of high-level transcendents and super enterprises, the entire cultivation system is also becoming more complex and sophisticated, more and more supernatural powers must be built from a young age in order to achieve something, the cultivation cost of ordinary people is getting higher and higher, and the hope of achieving transcendence is getting slimmer and slimmer, and the ascent channel of Dragon City is constantly narrowing,' 'The noble son of the poor family' has gradually become a miracle, and ordinary people want to rely on conventional cultivation methods to counterattack and control their lives, which has also become an impossible task, how to balance the peerless powerhouses and super enterprises on the top?
"A lucky person like you, who is talented and has many adventures, is rare after all.
"For the vast majority of ordinary people, the 'transcendent road' in the conventional sense has been blocked.
"So, I developed a technical ......"
