Chapter 26 Social Change at the Macro Level
Jin Lili looked at Lu Yiming's expression, paused, and said, "Take it easy, don't be so serious." Due to the relative affluence of East China, the social environment is actually quite good, and there are few supernatural phenomena. On average, I run errands once a week, and it's probably not a serious matter, it's just a whim and a boring thing for some people. ”
"The poorer the place, the more bad things to do, and we are relatively idle here."
Lu Yiming was stunned, this point is actually a bit similar to Professor Huang's theory, because the poorer the place, the more serious the superstitious thoughts.
“…… If you meet some public officials, they don't know you, and you need them to cooperate, open this app on your phone, call a phone number above, and soon a notification will be in place for them to cooperate. ”
"But don't use the power in your hands, because every action you take is recorded in the file, and if you do too much, you will still be criticized."
"No, no, no!" Lu Yiming hurriedly said, "I'm still very honest and won't take the initiative to bully others." ”
There are some people who have a little power in their hands and feel that they are superior, and use chicken feathers as tokens. From the student union of the university, to the workplace and officialdom, this kind of person abounds.
Lu Yiming actually finds it hard to imagine why many people have such an inexplicable interest in pretending, and he has no desire to bully others.
To put it bluntly, his personality is a bit of a salted fish mentality, everyone can get along in harmony, so let's get along as harmoniously as possible...... Can you prove that you are superior to others?
After explaining these precautions, it is actually a very idle job.
Lu Yiming said: "I said that I would invite you to dinner, and you can order whatever you want." ”
"Ha, that's going to kill you hard. I know a good restaurant! ”
Zhong Peng is still so taciturn, he basically doesn't like to talk. Seeing Lu Yiming's eyes, he just nodded slightly.
The three of them walked into a small restaurant near the security company, the "Big Rice Bucket Canteen".
The environment here is very nice and the price is not expensive. Since it is an in-house restaurant, the confidentiality agreement is relatively relaxed, and everyone chats casually in a private room, and the atmosphere is quite relaxed.
"Hey, my biggest dream now is to find a trick that suits me and enhance my superpowers......"
"It's really hard to say what the future holds......"
"Even if you find it, it's dangerous for you to explore it yourself, right?" Lu Yiming took a sip of water and asked casually: "These things can kill people, and there is a probability of sudden mutation." ”
Jin Lili said with a sad face: "Alas, that's what I said. But the tricks in the research institute, no matter how suitable they are, only have the right to use, not the ownership of the items, if there are two similar superpowers, how to divide them? ”
"There are fewer superpowers like you in the natural system, and superhuman people like us can be regarded as the largest number of people. I'm not the only one with the ability to regenerate......"
"If possible, it's best to find a trick to use as a hole card, as long as you find it, the first ownership is your own. While the risks are high, the rewards are just as high. And even if you don't need it yourself, you can use it to trade with the research institute......"
"Ah, yes."
Lu Yiming can understand this statement.
However, the appearance of strange objects is often accompanied by supernatural events with a high level of danger, so where is it so easy to find?
……
The next few days were really calm, and Lu Yiming even felt that he was a big idler with nothing to do, he had almost nothing to do, no tasks, and no abnormal phenomena.
Anyway, being idle is boring, and he began to carefully observe this society through online channels, trying to spy on some of the clues.
Even if the government tries its best to cover up some of the facts that have happened, it can still observe the subtle changes that are taking place in the world from various macro perspectives.
First of all, the first point is the skyrocketing and plummeting of stocks!
There are some shareholders of giant companies who are reducing their holdings in large quantities, and some star-level stocks are obviously in a low state, and they are also reducing their holdings in large quantities, which is a bit unusual.
The only reason that Lu Yiming can think of is that these top rich people who have learned the news are selling their shares and want to buy a large number of "ferry tickets".
The price of the "ferry ticket" is undoubtedly extremely expensive, and the cost of the institute is so large that not only government support is enough, but also part of the financial assistance of these top rich people.
If the end of the world really comes, stocks or money will inevitably be reduced to waste paper, and it is better to buy your own life.
This fact is very helpless, but it is naked and cruelly true.
He sighed in his heart: "In any era, when disaster strikes, the rich have a better chance of surviving than the poor. ”
The so-called "rich for no more than three generations" is because if the ancestors had not been rich, the poor would probably have lost their children......
Secondly, unlike the stock market, the prices of commodities such as rebar, iron ore, copper, and silver have risen for many years, which is like a super bull market!
This is completely inconsistent with the current state of the economy, which tends to be weak when the economy is weak.
A group of economists from securities companies repeatedly called it "incredible", but in fact, they simply did not understand why the prices of these materials were so strong.
Lu Yiming speculated that the construction of some super projects may require a large number of these materials, which has caused a long-term bull market in commodities.
After getting this information, he buried his head in thought: "In other words, it is unlikely that this super project will be placed in space...... Humans have not landed on the moon for a long time, and the most advanced rockets can only launch a few hundred tons of things, and it is unlikely that a large number of people will escape. ”
"So, this mega-project is still on Earth."
There is also a third, strange phenomenon, about domestic and foreign political disputes are basically not visible, except for some trade disputes.
There is less and less political tearing, as if world peace has really been achieved......
Some small countries are still engaged in contradictions, and the big countries have become extremely harmonious with each other.
In other words, the world has not been at war for a long time, the leaders of countries are becoming more and more Buddha-like, and cooperation among countries is far greater than competition.
World peace was unthinkable in the past!
What is even more strange is that through the agreement on "Internet sovereignty space", countries have completed one firewall after another, and the people of all countries can only see the news inside each country.
The reason is also very simple, according to Lu Yiming's guess, governments around the world are busy covering up all kinds of supernatural events, and in the face of an upcoming S-class super disaster, all kinds of trivial things become insignificant.
These are all oddities that are difficult to hide at the macro level in society.
Of course, most people don't pay attention to this at all if they don't think about it in one direction, they just think that the world is functioning normally, the sun is still rising in the east and setting in the west, and everything is the same as before.
