Chapter 109: The Age of Great Wealth
For the behavioral and sociological analysis of this group of lizard natives, several thick manuscripts were soon published.
Now it's a carnival of sociologists and economists. They kept writing reports and books, and one by one they went crazy as if they had discovered a new continent.
This feeling is as if the real gods are playing with a civilization, and the play can't stop at all...... I don't know what this indigenous civilization will be made of by humans.
Even, this wave has reached Noah's society, and everyone is discussing money, sociology, economics and other esoteric content.
A big discussion show was on the air, and a moderator was talking to a few sociologists, but it became a favorite show for the public.
“…… Such a social experiment is so interesting that we don't know if the germ of capitalism will sprout in this group of lizard natives...... Will they establish a rational trading system within civilization......"
"Will there be a rational social system?"
"Recently, we've observed that a group of clever lizards have learned the basics of addition and subtraction, and they've started trying to calculate prices for a fee, so they can make a financial profit......"
"Yes, the first internal trade of indigenous lizards, and so it came about. Not the buying and selling of commodities, but the buying and selling of labor! This is mainly due to profits, and there will always be someone to do profitable things! For the first time, the lizards felt the benefits of intelligence, and the economic incentives for them were enormous. ”
"If there were no laws and regulations, would there be lizards who would take risks...... What about robbery or petty theft? ”
"Crime is always the fastest way to make money!"
"And sure enough, it appeared! First thief! ”
"We found the lizard stealing money from the camera, but we didn't arrest it. This is an internal matter of their civilization, and we are not usually prepared to interfere. ”
"It was caught......"
In the eyes of scientists, these lizards are no longer as innocent as they used to be, but have some criminal activity.
From petty theft to serious robbery and extortion, especially to extort lizards from hostile villages......
If there is a 20% profit, the lizard will be ready to move; If there is a 50% profit, the lizard will take the risk; If there is a 100% profit, the lizard dares to risk hanging his head; If there is a 300% profit, the lizards dare to trample on all the laws of the world!
Greed is a devil that can drive civilization forward dramatically. At the same time, it can push a civilization into the abyss......
But humans don't care about this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't interfere with people's archaeological excavations.
These small actions are all produced after work, and during working hours, they are under the surveillance of the robots in the territory of the gods, and they are all extremely honest.
"They even have some factions because of the difference in the villages, forming an armed organization like the underworld......
"Is the emergence of such armed organizations to protect property? This is also normal, without a strong organization, the money will be stolen, snatched, and the lizards will not have a sense of security in their hearts. They would rather spend a little money on security. ”
So writes a sociologist in the report.
He was overwhelmed with emotion and was witnessing the rapid change of a civilization.
It is difficult for human beings to think of this series of things in advance, and only after they appear, will they feel ......
It does seem like a matter of course.
"Because of the phenomenon of crime and the emergence of underworld forces, the phenomenon of fights and brawls has become more and more serious, and it is about to affect normal work."
"After being strongly warned by the soldiers, they were relented for a while......"
"I think they're going to soon have a kind of convention to curb crime...... Otherwise, no one will be pleased, and no one wants to live in chaos. ”
"This kind of regulation is equivalent to the most primitive law!"
For the lizard natives, the emergence of currency can greatly stimulate the development of their civilization, and even the driving force of their civilization.
They are hungry for the economy, for material resources.
Human beings, on the other hand, only act as guides or observers, and do not teach them exactly what to do.
After all, the social structure of human beings is not yet perfect, and if they are taught the same as human beings, they will not bring any inspiration.
Just a little nudge and then let the civilization evolve on its own is actually more inspiring.
In fact, the entire lizard civilization is full of exploitation and exploitation.
A few months later, factions in large villages appeared, and other retail investors had to ...... if they wanted to join in and gain their protection Pay the money!
Pay the protection fee!
The clever lizards have learned a new word from humans: pay taxes.
If you pay your salary, of course you have to pay taxes, right?
…… This is simply the best era of the underworld!
According to the current situation, at the same time as chaos began, there was also the birth of order. Although there were all kinds of dirty things during this period, on the whole, the whole civilization was still developing upward.
Each indigenous lizard wants to earn more money to satisfy its material desires.
Then they have to use their brains, they have to use their intelligence.
Some lizards that can do arithmetic and think are beginning to gain a high status in their species. "Wisdom" began to gradually replace "strong", and the calculating lizards began to be looked down upon by the clansmen, and the "strong" could only be reduced to thugs, and their status was slightly lower.
This is a nice sign.
……
After reading this chaotic and dark "Lizard Indigenous Society Report", Yu Yifeng didn't know what to complain about, this group of lizards who were originally very simple were actually trained to look like this......
He didn't know if it was right or wrong. However, the development of civilization is inevitably not smooth sailing, and will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed and twists and turns.
This group of lizards is relatively good.
Humanity has been through that stage in the past...... It's even full of killing!
The good thing is that everything has passed, and humanity is at the stage of enjoying the fruits of victory......
Comparatively, the current new human beings are more civilized, orderly, and mature.
With the successful opening of automated excavation in the Arctic region, the problem of internal resource scarcity has been solved, and the degree of social affluence has begun to slowly increase, and mankind has gradually entered an era of great affluence!
Yes, it is an undeniable fact that the era of great affluence has come so inadvertently.
The productive forces of society have greatly outpaced material needs. The amount of "new currency" circulating within the Noah society began to decrease dramatically, and basically everything began to be free.
People on this planet almost have resources that can last tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years, and no longer worry about living resources.
This difference is completely determined by technology and productivity.
The most important task for mankind now is to eliminate money in order to achieve a higher level of social system! Human beings will no longer take material desires as the first driving force, but take ideals and responsibilities as the driving force to move forward again.
This is something that every member of society knows in their hearts and is trying to work towards it.
Everyone knows that the new human civilization is not strong enough.
For today's members of society, there is not much temptation to make more money. Because the current society is very wealthy, many things are basically free and can be taken at will......
Moreover, after so many years of social experiments during the period of space drift, people are more suitable for this system of public ownership of the means of production.
Everyone's moral quality is okay, basically people's lives are still relatively frugal, and there is no great extravagance and waste. Perhaps, there is also a kind of inertia of poor life that restricts it......
But now is also a very dangerous moment, Yu Yifeng doesn't know how long this habitual restraint will last, and the new human civilization can't be lazy because of a rich life!
Laziness is always the greatest obstacle to true communism.
People must sublimate working because of "survival pressure" to working because of "ideals" and "responsibility......
This is the hardest step, if you don't get it, you go down.
Yu Yifeng had to sigh, the new human civilization was so lucky, at this moment, there was another good opportunity: the appearance of the relics of the Nix civilization, as well as the training and observation of the lizardmen natives.
The appearance of these two things, everyone is like a chicken blood, and they are full of incomparable work fighting spirit!
Perhaps, their thinking has changed a little, and the passionate work is also what everyone likes and is willing to work for.
This kind of work fighting spirit has been maintained for a long, long time, and it will gradually influence the next generation, gradually form a habit, and gradually become a norm......
If the next generation will "set ideals" as the new way of thinking, then ...... The probability of success will increase dramatically!
