Chapter 242: The Defects of the Transcendental
Rorschach knew that Jiaying was an ambitious woman, but she didn't expect her to be more ambitious than she thought. He actually planned to let the Inhumans establish a state and become an independent regime.
Even Lorna only intends to strengthen the mutant organization and fight for fair rights and interests for her fellow mutants.
The difference between the two is almost the same as the difference between rebellion and petitioning.
However, Rorschach did not immediately refuse or agree, and asked, "Inhumans, how many people are there?" ”
Hearing this, Jiaying hesitated for a moment and said, "This is our secret. ”
Rorschach shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Then I won't force you to answer, but based on the size of this place, I estimate that the population of the Inhumans will not exceed 300,000." Otherwise, you'd have been too busy just testing the qualifications of these young Inhumans. ”
Jia Ying didn't respond to Rorschach's speculation, but Gordon's expression next to him had already told Rorschach to agree, and it seemed that his guess would not be much worse.
"As far as I've learned during this time, although the Inhumans can awaken their abilities through some kind of ritual, they are much more stable than the stimulating evolution of mutants. But in terms of hereditaryness, it is not as advantageous as mutants. Even if the parents are aliens, there is a good chance that the children born will not have alien blood. But mutants are different, the X gene is almost guaranteed to be inherited, but not everyone will activate their innate abilities. ”
When Rorschach talked about this, he couldn't help but think of the movie "X-Men: Days of Future Reversal", which was because of blind expansion, not only to eliminate mutants, but also to exterminate humans who carry X genes, or who may give birth to children with X genes.
As a result, the world's population has been reduced by half, and the whole world has become a ghost.
On the contrary, it is the Inhumans, and Rorschach has also inquired about some situations in the past few days. Even if the parents are aliens, there are cases where the children born are not aliens. Without Inhuman blood, the Awakening Ritual cannot be performed, making it even more difficult for Inhumans to reproduce.
"It's true that mutants are different from Inhumans, but what's wrong with that? It's just that we can't grow because we are being persecuted now, and hundreds of thousands of people are enough to support the reproduction of the population, not to mention millions of mutants. Jiaying seemed to feel strange about Rorschach's concern.
It is no longer an agrarian feudal society, and with the help of modern technology, as long as there are sufficient resources, the population can grow explosively in a short period of time.
"So herein lies the problem, a large number of people must lead to the birth of a large number of children of non-alien origin. What are you going to do with these people? Rorschach asked.
When Jiaying heard this, she fell silent.
Rorschach continued to say to himself, "According to your rules here, all people who are not of Inhuman blood must be expelled to ensure that the blood of the Inhuman race is pure and safe. If you build a nation, where are you going to send these children? ”
Seeing that Jiaying's face became very ugly, Rorschach continued: "Forcibly sending these children away will lead to unrest in the whole society. You've lost your own daughter, so you should be able to understand how it feels. And if you don't send these children away, what is the difference between the Inhumans and ordinary people living together and the social environment you are in now? ”
Rorschach said this very directly, which is why Rorschach has never been optimistic that mutants can be a country of their own. If Lorna reveals that she wants to rely on mutants to build her country, he will dispose of the mutant apartment as soon as possible.
This kind of behavior, except to provoke war and cause more senseless deaths, will not do humans or mutants any good.
At the end of the day, it's an elitist mentality. When you think you are superior to others because of your status, color, or ability, and you start treating other human beings with disdain and contempt, conflicts will naturally arise.
In this case, it is the same whether there are mutants or inhumans.
The chain of contempt does not only exist in ordinary people and mutants, even when watching a TV series, there are American drama fans who despise domestic drama fans, and domestic drama fans who despise dog-blood drama fans......
People should recognize their differences, not divide them because of their differences. Of course, this is idealism akin to utopia.
But Rorschach feels that with the development of technology, the gap between people will become smaller and smaller. The mathematicians who used the calculation chip in ancient times were certainly not as fast as the children who press the computer today.
In the modern era where roads are paved and cars are popular, it no longer makes sense to run fast. Mutants can pick up a ton of weight with telekinesis and can melt steel out of thin air, but cranes can do the same with steelmaking furnaces.
The supernatural should be integrated into the whole society as a representative of a more advanced productive force, and realize the rapid development of science and technology in the world. Otherwise, an individual mutant would not have as much impact on the world as imagined.
Unless, you are truly a perfect and omnipotent deity. It is precisely because of omnipotence that it is different from human beings, from any kind of intelligent life, and has become a truly independent race.
But neither Inhumans nor mutants have such conditions.
It is precisely because of this social flaw that no matter how many amazing and brilliant characters there are, mutants are still only a minority, and they are not even ranked in the politically correct topic.
Rorschach still has reservations about the views of mutants and Inhumans, and does not fully say this flaw that he has summarized. Because in this way, it's almost like turning your face.
However, Rorschach's previous question was clear enough to express what he meant. And until Jiaying finds a reasonable and proper solution for the descendants of those who are not of alien blood, it is estimated that she will not raise the matter of establishing a country with Rorschach again.
But even so, Rorschach's attitude was undoubtedly to tell Jiaying that the matter had collapsed. From this evening onwards, Rorschach felt that the hostility of the people in the small village was becoming more and more obvious.
Looking at the food delivered on the table, Rorschach grabbed his chopsticks and picked at them, except for a hodgepodge of compressed vegetables mixed together, there was only a bowl of white rice with sand left.
"Hehe, this means to drive people away." Rorschach said unconcernedly.
He's not the kind of little boy who wants to die when he's angry, and he won't run to Skye and shout that you choose me or your mother, and that won't do any good except embarrass the girls.
But it is not Rorschach's temperament to compromise, it should have been a dilemma, but the world seems to be a little fond of Rorschach as a traverser, allowing him to discover something unusual in this place.
Rorschach casually swept the pig-feeding food in front of him into the mirror space, muttering to himself, "I wonder how long they will last before they come to me?" ”
