Chapter 247: Materialism
The next day, it was just dawn.
Gao Zhongxuan drove an electric car along the township road and headed northwest, planning to visit his grandparents.
There are 37 forest rangers in Huangshatou Town, each with five rangers.
Halfway through, he stopped and waited for the traffic light, as a new human being, he could not easily violate discipline, and running a red light would be recorded in his personal file.
And now the little electric donkey has insurance and a unified license plate, but the driver's license is very easy, and he directly bought one on the new human network. Seven or eight Chinese fastest ^ mobile terminal:://
That's right, the current driver's license is purchased directly, and some domestic car manufacturers will even give the driver's license directly to the car buyer.
Of course, this situation is currently only applicable to new humans, because new humans can directly download skills and knowledge packs.
Gao Zhongxuan's motorcycle driver's license cost 50 yuan, and the driver's license contains motorcycle driving skills, motorcycle maintenance skills, and traffic law knowledge package.
After passing the traffic light, I continued to drive northwest, and suddenly there were many people on the side of the road in front of me paying homage to the gate of Daishokuji Temple.
In the northern part of Qin Province, there are relatively few big food religions, for example, there are mostly atheists in their villages, and a small number of old people believe in Buddhism, and they generally visit their ancestors.
However, after a glance, Gao Zhongxuan found a very surprising sign, in the small square where he worshipped, the number of people was very small.
As the only big food temple in their Huangshatou Town, Gao Zhongxuan's classmates had taken him to visit several times before, and every time he passed by here, there were forty or fifty people worshipping in the small square.
Now there were less than ten people, which made him look at it a few more times.
In fact, this is a common phenomenon, because the new human beings are all materialists, which is a metamorphosis of thought.
As new humans with a huge amount of knowledge, most of them are fanatical scientific sects, and a few are very rational beliefs even if they retain primitive religious beliefs.
In other words, primitive religion is rapidly dying out, and it is replaced by a materialist truth sect, a new human belief in truth.
It is an inevitable and irreversible process as there are more and more new human beings, when humanity can change the world, overcome disease, and learn countless knowledge.
Approaching the omnipotent human being, it is natural to stop worshipping those stone clay statues, and deny the existence of gods from the perspective of recognizing the essence of things.
Many people even have a rebellious mentality, and then fanatical atheists, scientific scholars, theories of human evolution, theories of extraterrestrial gods, and so on.
This is a materialist trend that has become more and more obvious in China recently.
It is manifested in the external manifestation of society, that is, the self-awakening of the followers of primitive religions, the conversion to Scientology, the great increase in the number of atheists, the scientific study of the imagination of pretending to be ghosts, and the great increase in the enthusiasm for life science and cosmic science.
Therefore, Gao Zhongxuan saw that the number of believers visiting the shrine was decreasing, and it is estimated that in a year or two, these primitive worship may become the historical archives of the museum.
The Netherworld is vigorously promoting dialectical materialism and the theory of human gods, the so-called theory of human gods, that is, the belief that human beings can evolve to the like "gods" through scientific means.
The continuous emergence of biological computers and other technologies has played a huge role in boosting materialism.
After all, human beings themselves can be close to omnipotent, why believe those ethereal birdmen, it is better to incense the generations of human ancestors, at least the ancestors left a legacy to our descendants.
……
The little electric donkey drove about 27 kilometers, and at the foot of the leeward slope not far away, a three-story building appeared in a poplar forest.
As far as the eye can see, there are still the ruins of the ancient Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty on the hill in the distance, which is the only earthy yellow color in this area.
A water pipeline with a radius of two meters extends northwest from the building, and there are many branch pipes in the water pipeline.
At the entrance to the building is a large meadow, as well as a vegetable patch fenced off and a goat breeding house.
Several elderly women are feeding goats or plowing the ground for watering.
"Mother!" Gao Zhongxuan shouted at the old woman who was weeding.
The old woman with a towel on her head looked up and found that it was the child of the fifth family.
"Xuan, why don't you say it in advance."
"Here's what my parents told me to bring over."
"You're kind to everything, I have everything here, my wife recently learned to shop online, and I'll bring back some vegetables later." The old woman took the calfskin paper bag anyway.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the first floor of the building, chatting about their daily routines.
As a collective dormitory, the first floor of the ranger's dormitory is the hall, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom; The second and third floors are the ranger's room, computer room, and study; There is also a tool warehouse on the side.
In fact, this kind of forest ranger is equivalent to the nature of half a nursing home.
Of the five rangers, two were lonely elderly people, and the remaining three came with their wives.
One of the rangers was on the watchtower above the third floor, and Grandpa Gao Zhongxuan and another old man were riding donkeys and patrolling the neighborhood.
The rangers are tasked with maintaining the jungles and meadows around the station, preventing forest fires, protecting wildlife and plants, stopping poaching, rescuing lost people, and more.
They are all equipped with the recently eliminated Bayi Bar, but the quasi-militia with combat effectiveness, especially the physical fitness and combat skills brought by the new humans.
At noon, Gao Zhongxuan had a meal in the dining room of the ranger's dormitory, and the two old men hurriedly ate lunch.
So they mounted their donkeys with their rifles on their backs and headed out into the jungle to the northwest, where they had gone to change the guard.
In fact, there is a gun training ground in Huangshatou Town, and the guns are all recently eliminated Bayi bars.
As a new human being, Gao Zhongxuan is eligible to buy conventional firearms, and since September this year, there have been no restrictions on this.
As long as you go to the virtual office of the relevant department to apply for a gun license, new humans can generally pass, and non-new humans will be rejected.
Because of the internal precepts of the new humans, they will not do extreme things.
If there are antisocial tendencies, Nuwa will be alarmed; If anti-social action is to be carried out, Nuwa's kernel will directly lock the host's muscle cells and immediately call the police.
The opening of firearms was mainly to deal with the G organization, and once it entered the mobilization for war, a group of skilled soldiers could be pulled.
……
Bidding farewell to the two old men, Gao Zhongxuan carried a bag of vegetables and rode a small electric donkey again, preparing to return to Huangshatou North Village.
In Yulin in October, the sun is still shining, and the autumn tiger is still entrenched, but from next month, it will be autumn.
On the way, I passed by a convoy of saplings and turf on the body, presumably the company responsible for the desert greening project.
Except for nature reserves, it is estimated that deserts will be rare in the future.
The desert area in the northwest is divided into desert original ecological reserve, ecological forest area, ecological grassland area, ecological mixed area, pastoral area, planting area, industrial area, and residential area.
Among them, the areas with ecological words are all protected areas, accounting for about 60% of the total desert area; The remaining area is developable, accounting for about 40.
In the direction of the extension of the water pipeline, development zones and protected areas are concentrated in their respective areas.
With the transformation and utilization of saline-alkali land, desert and Gobi desert, the area of cultivated land in China has increased a lot.
For example, the Mu Us Desert, also known as the Ordos Sandy Land and the Mu Us Sandy Land, has a total area of 42,200 square kilometers, half of which is in Yulin.
Mu Us Desert is known as "man-made desert", historically, there were abundant water and grass, cattle and sheep herds, from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the unreasonable development and utilization of human beings, the Mu Us area gradually became a vast desert.
After water injection, 17,000 square kilometers of the area have been turned into development zones.
Among them, the pastoral area is 9,000 square kilometers and the planting area is 7,000 square kilometers. Note: 1 square kilometer = 1500 acres. 07,000 square kilometers is 10.5 million acres
Moreover, at present, the utilization rate of domestic unit cultivated land is very high, and a large number of glass greenhouses and three-dimensional agricultural planting buildings make the domestic unit of cultivated land output equivalent to 510 times that of ordinary open-air planting.
This is the foundation of Netherworld's food self-sufficiency.
