Chapter 35: Perfect World
There is such a country with a population of 6 million, an average life expectancy of 93 years, and a crime rate of 3 per 10,000.
The environment is beautiful, the four seasons are like spring, the air is almost pollution, and the air quality index is below 30 all year round. All energy comes from 9 large nuclear power plants, which are self-sufficient in energy, self-sufficient in food, self-sufficient in all light and heavy industries, and extremely well developed in public transport.
There is no currency here, there is a high level of material abundance, and everything you need can be picked up directly in the store or delivered directly to your home. Poor? Inexistent. Unfair distribution of wealth? Inexistent. The Gini coefficient, which measures the gap between rich and poor, is only 0.05, which is very close to absolute equality.
People only need to work 6 hours a day, and there is no need to worry about losing their jobs, and the state will provide you with the most suitable job options based on your knowledge level, areas of expertise, personality and hobbies, etc., so that you can achieve the best life and have enough time to spend with your family. Of course, if you don't want to, you can also waste your time unscrupulously in order to have an experience called "failure".
The quality of people is extremely high, social education and independent learning are deeply rooted in everyone's heart, and people know how to self-reflect, know how to empathize, and know "what is a person". No one will kill a teacher because they are dissatisfied with their homework, no one will kill someone because they have lost love, and no one will inflict selfish perjury on the victim after being rescued, and the cost of perjury is greater than that of the perpetrator.
There is no domestic violence, no irresponsible marriages and divorces, and everyone is thinking about their future and not on a whim.
There is perfect entertainment and leisure here, as long as you have time, you can go anywhere and play at any time, it is definitely not crowded, and the nightlife is just as regular, no hooligan harassment, no drugs, no drunk driving.
What a wonderful world this is, would you think?
There are no energy shortages, no huge gap between rich and poor, no environmental problems, no unemployment problems, no crime problems......
However, the population density here is as high as 1,333 people per square kilometer, 12,000 people per cubic kilometer, and the population over 60 years old accounts for more than 30%.
Equality here is based on a weighted statistic of "social contribution", and the resources you can get, the jobs you can get, and even the kind of wife you will have depend on how much you contribute to society. You can completely ignore the list of recommended occupations based on your profession, talents, and hobbies and choose your own career, but absolutely no company will hire you, and it is absolutely impossible to succeed in starting a business, because entrepreneurship is a waste of resources compared to maintaining the status quo, and it requires the use of a large amount of "social contribution." β
There is a severe shortage of resources here, and food can only reach theoretical self-sufficiency, only 107%, out of an extremely fragile balance, if the tightrope elephant walks.
So, do you still like this kind of world?
The answer is yes.
Like!
Because you understand that such a world is the best, such a system is the best, and a little deviation from the current social order will be a great collapse that falls from a tightrope, and the world will be finished, and you will be finished.
So, you have to like it.
But there are also countless things that will displease you.
You can't skip class, you can't engage in school violence, you can't squat at home, you can't be bad, you can't be a keyboard warrior, you can't give up from the beginning, you can't quit on impulse, you can't use your position to embezzle, you can't kill teachers and doctors......
You can't pretend not to see your savior being killed in order to stay out of the matter; In order to vent the dissatisfaction of life, you cannot impose your cheap values on the noble; You can't blame others or the world for your incompetence.
Before you give your opinion, go through your brains, no one here will pay for your brainlessness, except yourself, because this is a "cruel" world where "idiots" cannot survive.
But this is a terrifying world, with limited personal freedom, limited freedom of speech, limited enjoyment of resources, and a life of competition and hard work like the fittest on the road of evolution.
People who don't work hard have no future, and they will always be just the existence of the bottom, and some idealists who waste social resources but cannot create value want to investigate and deal with the existence. Sometimes your efforts are not as good as those of people who are born into a large family, although the social contribution at birth is exactly the same, but he can easily surpass you with only one-tenth of your effort.
People who give up, people who are unwilling, people who keep their original intentions, people who are distorted, people who recognize reality, people who are hesitant and confused, this is the world and people.
All of this is taken for granted?
In any world, it's taken for granted, right?
It is, as it is, as a matter of course.
But there are always people who can't agree with this kind of taking it for granted, and with an incomparably weak mind and baby-like naΓ―ve thoughts, denying the existence of others to improve the "naturalness" of being in a difficult situation because of not working hard.
All men are created equal, on a biological level, because to a creature or an animal, "equality" is meaningless.
Life is not equal, and at the social level, because of the different abundance of resources around us, the starting point of life is different.
The so-called genius is nothing more than his efforts beyond the scope of the public's cognition, and the public makes excuses for not being able to do the same thing, and the word "genius" was born.
Those who work hard are geniuses in the eyes of those who do not work hard.
People with a high starting point will consider themselves geniuses when they see that they have worked hard and have not yet caught up with themselves.
"Genius", in the final analysis, is just an excuse used to cover up one's "not working hard" and "starting from a high starting point".
People who are able to rationally recognize avoidance and superiority either identify with the world or think that the world is wrong.
Do human beings want to pursue happiness or self?
"I don't want to know." Faced with the generals who want to tell themselves the so-called "truth of the world", Yi Ersan said.
The more than 20 generals in the conference room, and all the members of General Tang Wei were quite surprised, but Tang Wei suddenly laughed, as if he had seen a funny performance.
"You don't want to take on a higher responsibility?" Tang Wei said, "Running away doesn't get you what you want. β
Yi Ersan looked around at all the generals slightly, especially the glaring rank on their shoulders, indicating that the so-called "truth" requires at least the rank of major general to be qualified to know. He now understands that after the truth that "aliens don't exist", I'm afraid there is still any truth related to the red-haired woman on the battlefield of Fu'an, but he doesn't want to know what it is.
"You have the key we want, we also have the resources you need, you can treat it as a simple transaction, use yourself, in exchange for that little girl."
Tang Wei's words, especially the last sentence, made Yi Ersan waver.
He knows Zhou Nan's affairs, he knows that I am cornered, and he knows my desires.
"Looks like you already have the answer." Tang Wei got up, and then all the generals also stood up and saluted.
Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Wei came to Yi Ersan's side, stretched out his left hand, gently put it on Yi Ersan's right shoulder, and said, "Bring a sword." β
After that, Yi Ersan followed behind Tang Wei, accompanied by the two colonels guarding the elevator entrance, to the hall on the first floor, and in full view of everyone, got into a black car with a side door.
The vehicle was driving on the road, Yi Ersan was quite nervous and kept silent, but Tang Wei suddenly asked: "How many places do you think your strength can be ranked in the whole army?" β
"I don't know ......"
"First."
"Huh?"
"Whether it's an immortal at the highest level or an eight-generation gene editor, the strength you show in Fu'an is at least three times that of them."
Yi Ersan was extremely surprised by these words, not to mention that the "immortal" was just an existence at the level of an urban legend, just the fact that the military knew his true performance in the Battle of Fu'an was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat.
"There's nothing surprising that since the machine is ours, the relevant videos are more or less available, and there are eyewitnesses to prove it. To be honest, we weren't as anxious as we are now, and it wasn't until something happened to Fu'an that we realized that time was running out. β
"What ......the hell is that red-haired woman" Yi Ersan forgot his identity, and also forgot the identity of the old man next to him, and only had doubts in his heart.
Tang Wei didn't answer, but after twenty minutes, he found the answer himself.
In the isolation ward of the first hospital of Yuheng City, on the special floor of a closed military research institute, Yi Ersan looked at the unconscious woman lying on the hospital bed through the glass wall, dumbfounded, and his thoughts were directly pulled The scene of the Battle of Huifu'an, the scene of the battle with a red-haired woman, the scene of being suppressed and having an arm cut off.
That young and beautiful face, Yi Er San will never forget for the rest of his life.
"Why here!"
Although she has long black hair, there is no doubt that she is the "red-haired woman" who fought to the death against herself on the battlefield of Fu'an!
"Her name is Yan Wangyue, the red-haired woman who fought with you at the beginning, the strongest human being, is now in a state of brain death. Shortly after the battle with you, he suddenly fainted and was judged to be brain dead due to lack of oxygen due to excessive maintenance of the load area. β
Yi Ersan's brain was overwhelmed by this informative speech, and he stopped thinking for a while.
"Give you a day to think about it, do you know the whole truth, about the load field, about the cause of the battle of Fu'an, about the biggest threat in this underground world." Tang Wei waved his hand, the curtain in the glass wall was closed, and then said, "As for this sword, I will give it to you, it is much easier to use than the previous Type 05." β
Yi Ersan was surprised the whole time, but his brain had not yet reached a state of confusion, but his complicated thoughts made him unable to sort out his head.
Robots kill civilians only to create the illusion of alien existence, so a war of the scale of the Battle of Fu'an is simply unnecessary. Could it be that the purpose of that campaign was to deal with the so-called "real threat" in the mouth of Admiral Tang Wei?
Although he was confused, at least Zhou Nan was saved!
In fact, at this moment, Yi Ersan had already decided to join the "plan" that Tang Weina had never proposed, and a day's thinking time was not needed. Tang Wei obviously underestimated Zhou Nan's weight in Yi Ersan's heart.
ββββ Publicly Available Information: Family ββββ
There are a total of 17 families that are not allowed to intermarry, which are divided into two categories according to their overall strength and influence: the seven families and the ten families, which are significantly stronger than the families and have a longer history. The seven families are: Qin Han, Zhao Wei, Chu Yanqi, and the ten major families are: Zhou, Tang, Wu, Song, Liang, Bailan, Zhuyehuang.
Since the main members of these families are all gene-editers for several generations, and the edited genes are not naturally stable in heredity, in order to prevent genetic defects and genetic degradation, major families are prohibited from intermarrying, whether they are de jure family members or genetic family members. In fact, this policy also has a series of purposes such as preventing family mergers and forming parties for personal gain.
