Chapter 830 Story
It was really an unpleasant conversation.
Zhou Yu originally just wanted to complain, and didn't think that Bai Qi could respond to him, but Bai Qi's last words still made Zhou Yu suddenly realize that some things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined. Zhou Yu didn't ask questions in a hurry, but frowned and didn't look at everything in the city carefully. To be honest, even if Zhou Yu looks at this place with a critical eye now, he really can't see anything wrong here. I have to say that this is simply the most ideal city, and it can even be said to be the existence of an ideal country in Zhou Yu's time.
But looking at Bai Qi again, Zhou Yu didn't think that Bai Qi deliberately made such a performance in order to cater to himself, it was obvious that Bai Qi must still have boundless resentment in his heart, so he would have such a feeling now.
"How do you say that?" Zhou Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong here?"
"It's not bad. Bai Qi shook his head, but still didn't continue.
But this time, Zhou Yu couldn't do it like the previous times, and this incident even made Zhou Yu's heart itch. Such a city, such a living environment, if this can't satisfy Bai Qi, what kind of life can make them satisfied. Even if you look at it this way, Zhou Yu thinks that it is not an accident that human civilization is moving towards the end of the era, and it is not easy to be satisfied that something will really happen, and it is not a trivial matter.
"Go out for a walk?" Zhou Yu suddenly proposed, and he also suddenly thought of one thing, maybe even in his own territory, there are some words that Bai Qi is difficult to say.
Hearing Zhou Yu's invitation, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It seems that you are the master here." ”
"Haha, I'm used to being anti-customer-oriented, I can't help it. Zhou Yu said unceremoniously, it sounds like a joke, but in fact it is really the case, Zhou Yu has long been accustomed to quickly letting himself control the situation everywhere he goes. Maybe it won't be overwhelming, but at least it won't put yourself in the position of a guest.
In the end, Bai Qi even agreed to Zhou Yu's invitation, and didn't even take any of his subordinates to follow Zhou Yu out. Maybe Zhou Yu has never worn the armor so that the warriors on Jupiter still have some contempt for him, it is true that Zhou Yu did show his means before, but after all, Zhou Yu didn't really make a move, and the warriors on Jupiter still didn't combine Zhou Yu with the identity of a super powerhouse. But Bai Qi is a real super strongman, in the countless foreign wars launched by Jupiter, Bai Qi has participated in almost all of them, and has left an extremely deep impression on the battlefield every time.
Jupiter is a pure modern society, at least in Zhou Yu's opinion, the architecture here, the way of life here, and the height of intelligent development that Zhou Yu can't understand here, all of which Zhou Yu has never seen before, and even in Zhou Yu's original conception of Liubo City, he never thought that a city could be built to this extent.
The only flaw is that Zhou Yu did not see a single plant on Jupiter, not even a simple potted flower and plant, and even gave people the feeling that only one kind of life was allowed on this astral body, that is, there were only human beings here, and there might not even be a mosquito except for humans.
"Aren't there any enemies here?" Zhou Yu asked, walking along the road.
"Enemy, what enemy?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically.
"Enemies that could threaten your very existence, such as the Void Beasts, or wars between humans. Zhou Yu described it very casually.
"Nope. Bai Qi shook his head directly and said.
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, this was another answer that surprised him.
"There are no enemies, not even the beasts of the mountains?" Zhou Yu continued to ask persistently.
Bai Qi didn't react at first, and then realized that Zhou Yu and her were two completely different eras, and even for Bai Qi, Zhou Yu was an old antique who lived before an incomparably distant era, and it was not surprising that he asked such a question for Zhou Yu's identity.
"In the Broken Era, there are enemies everywhere, right?" Bai Qi asked with a smile.
"Yes, many, many enemies. Void beasts, mutant spirits, all kinds of powerful beings in the universe, as well as wars, wars between humans and humans, wars between humans and aliens. In our time, it is impossible to live without enemies as long as you want to live comfortably. Zhou Yu said very seriously, and then changed his words and said: "Of course, life with enemies is complete. ”
This sentence was suddenly felt by Zhou Yu, this is not a coy gesture, Zhou Yu's life is full of battles, he has fought with too many people, there are so many enemies, and even so many types, even if he recalls it slowly, it will be a kung fu job. However, when Zhou Yu slowly talked to Bai Qi, he didn't have the slightest disgust in his heart, but really liked this kind of life. It was hard for Zhou Yu to imagine how he would live if one day he really didn't have to fight anymore and just lived a peaceful life.
Bai Qi suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, his eyes were full of strange looks, and after a long time, he suddenly said with emotion: "Yes, life without enemies is not complete. ”
Zhou Yu didn't speak, judging from his years of experience, it was time for Bai Qi to open the conversation. Sure enough, Zhou Yu didn't wait long, and finally waited for something he really wanted to hear.
When the science and technology of human civilization has been highly developed, artificial intelligence and genetic recombination are no longer mysterious disciplines, but have become commonly used technologies, and the most important of them is that the recombination technology of molecules and atoms has reached a new height, and the great change brought about by the breakthrough of this technology is that the utilization of human resources has risen to the level of peak. In the past, if you wanted to obtain resources, you naturally needed to constantly expand your territory, and you needed to find the resources that human beings needed on different stars. In particular, the excavation and utilization of some rare resources require the sacrifice of a lot of manpower and financial resources.
But when molecular and yard recombination technology began to explode, human beings wanted to obtain certain resources, and even used molecular recombination to make them. This way of obtaining resources was something that Zhou Yu had never heard of, and although seeing was believing it now, he was still shocked when he heard Bai Qi say this.
Of course, although it is the development of atomic and molecular recombination technology that has made all this a reality, even if it is the development of science and technology, everything must follow the law of conservation of mass and energy, just like those so-called alchemy in ancient times, if you want to create something, you first need to prepare sufficient materials, rather than taking a piece of paper and reassembling it casually to make gold.
In fact, the recombination of atoms and molecules is to make the process of building the machinists more detailed, and the machinists to build armor is to put some materials together and finally create a combination of materials. However, Bai Qi's technology is to refine this process to reorganize with molecules, compose the substances they want, and then use the substances to create what they need.
That's real science, and science can make the world a better place.
Of course, it can also make the world a little crazier.
Human civilization has indeed developed rapidly because of the development of these technologies, and one of the most obvious changes is that although there is still a gap between rich and poor society, the living standards of human beings will no longer reflect too much disparity. In the past, the rich could control resources that the poor could not grasp in their lifetime, but now, after the creation of matter has become simple, all the creative process is actually a process of continuous reorganization of molecules.
Energy is no longer scarce, because as long as there are enough carbon molecules, whether it is oil or other resources, they can be directly recombined by carbon molecules to create, and other substances are on the same path. In Bai Qi's world, the gap between the poor and the rich is just the gap in the spiritual world, and of course this gap is still very obvious. Although the rich do not need to have too many requirements in terms of material life, they have endless pursuits in the spiritual world. They want to figure out the world, they want to be more creative, they want to be more challenging.
I have to admit that the progress of the world is driven by the continuous exploration of these elites.
"But......" Bai Qi's tone began to change, no longer the tone he used to talk about the beauty of society and the upper-class elites still exploring endlessly, and began to tell some stories that Zhou Yu couldn't think of.
But when material life began to be easily satisfied, human society even began to become more polarized. The elite uses more resources and technology in their hands to explore the world and constantly make themselves stronger, but more ordinary people, because of the material life they have been completely satisfied, even if they don't have to work too hard, they can have no worries about food and clothing, and the rich can use the same things, even in terms of quality and quantity. In such a situation, more and more people are starting to become less struggling. Even these people don't have any desire for power, they just want to live a good life and live a comfortable life.
These people, represented by Bai Qi, have a lot of resources and power, but they have no objections, because as long as they can find a place to live, they can quickly establish an extremely prosperous city on that astral body, and what kind of life they had before can also continue quickly after coming to a new place. Bai Qi and the people in the upper echelons of the federal government do not need to pay attention to democracy, for the common people, who is the leader is the same, because no matter who leads them, they can also give them a good life, because advanced technology makes all this extremely simple.
There are enemies on the astral body, kill. If there is a hidden danger of insecurity, get rid of it. There are conditions that do not fit in, and improve. It seems that human beings can use technology to change everything, and the only thing that cannot be changed is the collapse of the world. The only enemy of mankind seems to be the unstable universe left, but although Bai Qi said it very seriously, in fact, the interstellar migration plan of mankind is not particularly unsuccessful. For example, when a disaster strikes, ten teams of interstellar immigrants set off on a star, and in the end, only one team can safely find an astral body that can live, but over time, they can quickly develop again.
With the development of science and technology, human beings can even speed up the speed of reproduction, "androids" are no longer fairy tales, or even protected by the federal government, and with the technology in their hands, they can find a large number of usable molecular or atomic materials on the local stars, and then directly cross the material accumulation stage, directly create the most sophisticated instrument they can build.
Strictly speaking, in the rule world of the last days, in fact, human beings have become the real masters of the universe, and the technology of atomic and molecular recombination is equivalent to the key for human beings to open the secrets of this world, and human beings seem to have figured out the essence of this world, they have become creators, and can even create life, and then dominate everything they want to control.
As Bai Qi said, human beings in the last days have no enemies, he can create amazing weapons, and can keep the weapons in his hands always maintain continuous energy support, and it is difficult for any enemy to survive under their powerful firepower. Of course, they are still on the interstellar expedition, but there are only two purposes for going on the expedition, one is to continue to find stars that can be immigrated, and the second is to mine resources on the stars that are not suitable for survival, and then transfer them to the living stars to build whatever they need.
Zhou Yu listened to Bai Qi's narration, kept nodding his head, and kept smiling bitterly, he now had only one thought in his heart, that is, if he hadn't seen all this with his own eyes, he would not have believed anything Bai Qi said at all. For Zhou Yu, what Bai Qi is talking about is like a game world, in which every human being can create what he wants to create, as long as there are suitable atoms and molecules.
Of course, now Zhou Yu understands why Bai Qi suddenly has such feelings. It can be understood that Bai Qi is really not in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings, but in the face of such a situation, it is really easy to make people despair, and even Zhou Yu wonders if Bai Qi's heart is already deformed. It's not an exaggeration, it's something that really could exist.
In Bai Qi's narration, the management layer and the civilian layer in the human society in the last era are completely two different existences, and to put it mildly, these are two races at all. The elite still retains the advantages of humanity and continues to seek development.
And those civilians have been raised as "pigs" by these elites, they do not have no requirements for life, but what they want has been satisfied, and then they no longer think about fighting, greed and laziness can be said to be the original sin of human beings, but some people can overcome it, and they become elites, but some people can't do it, so they can only be civilians. In the era in which Zhou Yu lived, civilians continued to work hard because of some defects in material life, at least many ordinary people were unwilling to be ordinary, so they struggled all their lives.
But the common people of the last days are in a completely different form, and it may be a very kind way to say that they have fallen, and to put it mildly, they can no longer be called human beings at all. They don't even have enemies around them, and after they don't have a sense of crisis, it seems that it has become a luxury to make these people want to fight.
Looking at Bai Qi's eyes, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "Do you sometimes want to kill all these civilians?"
Bai Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he just wanted to nod subconsciously, but he suddenly reversed the trend, shook his head and said, "What are you kidding." ”
Zhou Yu didn't break it, just looked at the sky with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Greed is the original sin, and vanity is also the original sin. The so-called elites in the elite layer are not all strong people like you who are unwilling to be ordinary and want to explore the world and even save the world, there will also be a considerable number of elites in the elite layer, and the reason why they make themselves elites is just to prove that they don't want to stand next to those pig teammates in the civilian layer. In other words, a considerable part of the elite just wants to escape from the civilian layer, so they will work hard. But what if the civilian layer disappears? There are no more ordinary people, no more people who make them look down on, they are surrounded by elites, and the elites gradually become ordinary people, and inevitably, the level will reappear at that time. ”
"So, comparisons are sometimes a good thing. When some people lose their enthusiasm for comparison, they will return to the ordinary. Zhou Yu still put his hands behind his back and said lightly.
But Bai Qi didn't know how to reply for a long time after Zhou Yu's words, she really didn't expect that Zhou Yu would have such an opinion. In fact, Bai Qi really thought about abandoning these civilians, but it was not her hands, but for example, in an interstellar migration, she "accidentally" "lost" some civilian-level fleets, maybe in this way, when the elite-level people go to a new immigration place, maybe human civilization can break out to a broader height, maybe it is not impossible to find a solution to the collapse of the universe at that time. But now when she heard Zhou Yu's words, she was like being struck by lightning, although these words were a bit imaginative, but she had to admit that things really seemed to be like this.
But Bai Qi was very reluctant to accept Zhou Yu's statement, in her opinion, this was the only way she could think of to save Jupiter, but it seemed unlikely.
Zhou Yu turned around, looked at Bai Qi, who was in deep thought and even pain, and suddenly said, "Do you want to hear stories about this world?"
