Iron Man groaned, frowned, and said: "The current international political and economic order, its basic structure and appearance, are all explored and created by people in long-term practice, and have deep historical roots.

For the time being, this kind of order can still make countries respect each other and consult together in the political field; In the economic field, countries can still promote each other and develop together; In the field of culture, countries can learn from each other and prosper together; In the area of security, it is still possible to build mutual trust among countries and to jointly maintain the overall peace.

On this basis, I don't think that an antique from thousands of years ago is qualified or capable of proposing a better solution. ”

Tony Stark is worthy of standing at the top of the world's power pyramid, and the level of this passage made up on the spot is quite high, far from being said by a poor boy like Steven, who was born in Brooklyn.

The other members of the Avengers were a little embarrassed to stand still, and it would be fine if they let these people go into battle, but if they really wanted to have this kind of debate and refutation, they would not be able to get on stage at all.

You must know that not all countries can be like rabbits, and directly engrave politics, a powerful force called "dragon slaying" in ancient times, in the nine-year compulsory education, so that the flowers of the motherland can form a clear political consciousness from an early age.

However, the plague knight had already been prepared, and she smiled with a glimmer of light, and said indifferently: "Our master is certainly an ancient man thousands of years ago, but since he woke up, he has been absorbing the knowledge of the human world, and he has an extremely clear understanding of the current world pattern. ”

Iron Man's face quickly became gloomy, if any of the Apocalypse was really a knowledgeable, educated, moral, disciplined, and powerful sociopath, as the Knight said, then his threat would skyrocket.

It's as if low-end criminals will be limited to robbing and stealing; High-end criminals, on the other hand, will form multinational syndicates to carry out cybercrime activities with high organizational efficiency.

The Plague Knight could not see the ugly expression on Tony Stark's face through the Iron Suit, and continued, "The master believes that the reason for the sluggish development of mankind is mainly due to the existence of various organizational forms.

The state, as a form of organization, has created an imperfect old international political and economic order.

Religion as a form of organization has caused people to obsessively believe in clay figurines and stagnate.

Race, ethnicity, civilization .... The organizational form of all this, no matter how stacked the bed frame house is, is cumbersome and complex, and how perfect and complete the composition form is, magnificent and splendid.

At the end of the day, the basic components are people. ”

The plague knight sighed lightly and said quietly, "And people are selfish.

People will try to turn over, move, and struggle in the shackles of the system because of their own interests, and finally break away from the system, tear up the system, and break the system.

No matter how beautiful the organizational form is, it will collapse because of the existence of people. ”

Tony Stark gasped, stared at the Plague Knight, and said in a deep voice, "What? Is the apocalypse going to exterminate all mankind? ”

"Of course not."

The Plague Knight shook his head and said softly: "The master knows the limitations of man, he understands and understands man, and even because of his own otherworldliness, he feels sad and sad for those ordinary people who stick to universal ideas. ”

Secretary of State Walter, who was watching the scene in real time through the monitoring device, let out of his nostrils and sneered, "Humph! What a big breath. ”

The others who were also in Washington's underground fortifications did not have Walter's good attitude, and one by one they stared intently at the picture, listening to what the Plague Knight was going to say next.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of psychohistory?"

"Psychohistory?" Tony Stark frowned and said, "Uh... I'm sorry, but are you talking about the discipline that science fiction writer Isaac Asimov invented in the "Base" series? ”

"That's right."

The Plague Knight chuckled softly, "With his amazing talent and perseverance, the master spent a long time studying the information of the present world that he could collect, and even glimpsed the mysteries of the development of human society from the huge amount of information that was complicated.

In the "Base" series, psychohistory invented by Harry Xie Dun can analyze a series of political and economic activities generated by large-scale crowd activities in history, find out the universal laws, and use this law to predict the future development of human society.

Although this is only a made-up discipline, it is also deduced from the master's intuition and computing power far beyond that of a supercomputer.

To a certain extent, through the political and economic activities of the present world, the future of mankind can be predicted. ”

"It can't be!"

Iron Man shook his head and said: "Even if you tie 10,000 Buffetts together, you can't accurately analyze the trend of the stock market, let alone the pattern of the whole world." ”

"Hehe, your ignorance limits your imagination."

Plague Knight smiled and continued: "In 1990, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) created the Human Development Index (HDI) based on three basic variables: life expectancy, education level and quality of life.

Since then, the American Agency for Overseas Development has created the Quality of Life Index (PQLI) using average life expectancy, infant mortality rate, and literacy rate as basic variables.

HDI and PQLI have long been used as a universal indicator system and two important tools for analyzing the human development index.

In psychohistory, however, there are far more variables involved than these two indicator systems.

Including but not limited to the national poll index, public opinion control index, military power index, national income index, religion index, nationalism index, reverse nationalism index, etc. ”

“.... That's impossible. ”

Iron Man's tone was no longer as firm as it was just now, and he said with difficulty: "I'm an engineer who has built the best AI intelligence in the world today.

However, even he could not calculate such a large and complex variable. ”

"In front of the master, nothing is impossible."

The Plague Knight shook his head and said, "As I said, the master's talent and intelligence have exceeded the limits of what ordinary people can imagine.

In the midst of an astronomical amount of data, he found the key.

The key to the future of human society. ”

“.....”

Tony Starkner was speechless, as a glorious American Polytechnic man, although he had great skepticism about the "metaphysics" of the social sciences,

But the scientific spirit he cultivated since childhood had to convince him that if there was a certain existence, whose laws of human brain operations far exceeded those of supercomputers, then psychohistory did have the possibility of existence.

"Through psychohistory, the master predicted that humanity would start an unprecedented civil war around the year 2150 due to lack of resources."

The Plague Knight whispered, "Countless ICBMs soared into the sky, flew out of the atmosphere, kissed the side of the sun, and then crashed into an arc of orbit. ”

"Light, heat, shock waves, not out and out."

"The mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke rose higher than Mount Everest, and the scorching radiation killed hundreds of millions of lives in an instant."

"The survivors who were lucky enough to get into the underground fortifications nestled together to keep warm, and the ground hundreds of meters above them was already covered in radioactive fallout, and to make matters worse, the sky was pitch black, and the dust raised by the explosion would take years to fall."

"Without sunlight, forests become tombstones, grasslands become deserts, oceans are dead, and countless fish carcasses accumulate in the depths of the sea, like whales falling."

"The last of humanity will struggle for centuries before the dead planet is reduced to an insignificant speck of dust in the vastness of the stars."

At this point, there was a dead silence.

Everyone was reminiscing about the horrific sight described by the Plague Knight, the return of the sword of Damocles that hung over the necks of all mankind during the Cold War.

A nuclear war caused by a lack of resources, is possible, and everyone believes in this and keeps silent.

"So,"

The Plague Knight said gently, "The Apocalypse does not bring a judgment that exterminates everything,"

"It's a salvation before disaster strikes."
