Chapter 931: Necessary Death
"Then I can only hold on for a while, please hurry up, Lieutenant Colonel Wu, I'm already very tired, I really don't want to be in the depths of the rainstorm jungle anymore, with any battle list masters, fierce men, elite mercenaries and assassin killers from all walks of life...... These messy guys are whirling around. ”
Chu Ge said with a bitter face, "I'm just out on vacation, I want to go back to the Lion City, go to the beach to bask in the sun, eat barbecue, and see beautiful women!" ”
"Understand, speaking of which, it was I who hurt you, after all, I recommended Dr. Li Xinlian to you."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting sighed heavily.
Obviously, he had deduced the true identity of Dr. Li Xinlian from the clues left by the enemy in the jungle base, and knew that this female demon was inextricably linked to the Celestial Organization, and was one of the masterminds of the outbreak of the rat tide in Lion City and the hijacking of the Lionheart Group.
Because of his own negligence, Chu Ge was involved in the whirlpool of life and death, and Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting really felt very embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind, lowered his voice, and continued, "Listen, Chu Ge, I'll help you contact President Yu of the Extraordinary Association now, until she or I find you, you must not trust anyone who appears in front of you, remember, I mean 'anyone'!" ”
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and a cool air came out from behind his buttocks: "What do you mean?" ”
"Now there is a lot of confusion about how to deal with the 'Eternals', and the press somehow knows about it, and all kinds of news on the Internet that are difficult to distinguish between true and false are flying all over the world."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "According to my judgment, the final position of the authorities is very likely to be to directly erase the Eternal and deny her existence. ”
"What!"
The cool air behind Chu Ge's buttocks turned into a hard ice pick, stabbing all the way from the tail vertebrae to the cervical vertebrae, and then poking into the heart.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Li Xinlian guessed that the authorities really want to erase the eternals?
"Why!"
Chu Ge was both angry and puzzled, "The Eternal has not committed a crime, nor is it resistant to cooperating with the authorities, I escorted her to a safe military base, and then collected some samples of her blood for study, which will not harm her life, but also push human medical technology and life sciences to a new peak, isn't it a great joy?" ”
"This is not a great joy for all, but a major challenge to the existing moral, legal, social order and economic system of human civilization, and the slightest carelessness can lead to the collapse of the entire civilization."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's statement turned out to be exactly the same as Dr. Li Xinlian, "Chu Ge, think about it with your brain, do you think that if the Eternals really exist, and the authorities can analyze her mysteries and concoct more Eternals, how much will it cost, and in the end, who is more likely to achieve eternal life - those rich people with a lot of money, or ordinary people who work hard and struggle to survive, but there are 10,000 times more people than the rich?"
"If all the poor people in the world, ordinary workers, workers and peasants in the world knew that the rich people had five, ten, or even countless times longer lives than them, in addition to the glamorous, drunken and luxurious lives, would you think that the poor people would think in their hearts and agree to it?
"As the saying goes, 'we don't suffer from inequality', let me tell you, there are rumors on the Internet that the authorities have been using the taxes minted by the blood and sweat of the poor people to secretly study the immortality technology, and the immortality technology researched will be provided to all the elites, the rich, and the powerful as soon as possible.
"These rumors are extremely inflammatory, and there is a post that says, 'The common people work day and night, constantly work overtime, endure the pressure of high housing prices, soaring prices, earn meager salaries, and have additional tax deductions, and the taxes are used to study immortality for the rich, which is equivalent to these rich people riding on the necks of the common people to suck blood, squeeze the lives of the common people, in exchange for their eternal life - these high-ranking officials and billionaires who steal the power of the alliance are all 'vampires' in the literal sense!
"Listen, such a post, does it really seem like it was posted by ordinary netizens, it must be the Celestial Organization fanning the flames behind it.
"Now that the authorities have not yet controlled the Eternals, they have already caused a global uproar and chaos in the world, if it is really as you said, the authorities and the Eternals will cooperate to carry out the research of the 'Eternal Life Project', and the race will be torn apart in minutes, and 699 billion ordinary people among the 7 billion citizens of the earth will start an all-out war with 10 million billionaires!"
Chu Ge smiled bitterly.
Dr. Li Xinlian told him this truth not long ago.
At that time, he directly ignored him with the mentality of "don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures".
But pretending to be an ostrich and burying your head in the sand does not mean that the problem will be solved automatically.
Now, the same question came out of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's mouth, and Chu Ge could no longer turn a blind eye.
"I certainly don't agree with the idea that only the rich can live forever."
Chu Ge said, "If you treat the immortality technique as some kind of ...... What about vaccine-like public welfare projects, which are paid for by the authorities and shared by all citizens of the earth, regardless of whether they are rich or poor? ”
"Is it that simple?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "Don't say anything else, let's just say that all the retired elderly in the world can live forever, who will pay for their pensions, do you think the alliance's finances can support hundreds of millions or even tens or two billion of old people, and they will always live comfortably with a high pension?" ”
"Uh......"
Chu Ge scratched his head and was speechless.
"Now the alliance of this group of sixty or seventy-year-old retirees, most of them are the main force in the era of calamity to fight the heavens and the earth, rebuild their homes, many of them have made military exploits, enjoy special allowances, pensions are ridiculously high, an old man's pension can often be worth the salary of two college graduates."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "Of course I am not a wolf-hearted, if I want to ignore the contributions of these old people in the past, let alone two, even if they are allowed to take a pension equivalent to the salary of three college graduates, and live happily until death, I can accept it."
"But this is based on the healthiest old people, who will receive a pension for twenty or thirty years at most.
"If it weren't for twenty or thirty years, but for two or three hundred years or even two or three thousand years of pensions, the alliance's finances would collapse in minutes, and the budget committee would simply hang themselves, which young man would be willing to live forever and provide for these old people who would not die?"
"No, it's not."
Chu Ge thought for a while and said, "According to my research on the blood of the immortals, if I can really analyze the immortal technique, I can improve my physique to a certain extent, even if I am an old man, I may not be in my old age, maybe, I don't need a pension, and I can come back to work!" ”
"So, you mean, strip these retirees of their pensions and drive them back to work?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said coolly, "There are two problems here, first, how to deprive these old people of their pensions? Have you ever seen the momentum of these retirees, with a dime less pension, who dare to rush into the Supreme Council like wolves to protest? Deprive them all, go back to work? Believe it or not, they overthrew the Supreme Council in a minute, and asked the Celestial Organization to come back and put them in charge?
"Second, even if they all go back to work, what about their positions, which company, enterprise and public unit are not a radish and a pit these days, where are we going to suddenly turn hundreds of millions, billions of jobs into these 'retired old people' who have been reborn?"
Chu Ge had nothing to say again.
"Since ancient times, the unemployment rate has been the most important headache for all countries, and when the unemployment rate is high, the country will definitely be in turmoil."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "The so-called 'immortal technology', if it is applied on a large scale, there will be hundreds of millions, tens or two billion energetic people who have nothing to do.
"And this is only the most intuitive, the most imaginable, and the most insignificant of the tens of thousands of problems brought about by 'eternal life'.
"Admit it, Chu Ge, although any country boasts of striving for the health and happiness of its citizens, in fact, 'death' has always been an indispensable element for the sustainable development of our country, this civilization, and this species.
"Just as the human body needs metabolism, a normal, healthy and strong country needs to be regularly replenished with fresh blood and weed out the aging citizens and let them die.
"Why is it that no country has ever been able to ban smoking in the past year, knowing that smoking is harmful to health? Quite simply, on the one hand, the tobacco industry can provide a large amount of tax revenue to support the development of the country, and on the other hand, nicotine can effectively screen the people, so that those who kill themselves die early, reducing the financial burden.
"Immortality technology is like the mirror image of the tobacco industry, just as no country will ban the tobacco industry, and no country will tolerate the existence of immortality technology and immortals!"
