Chapter Ninety-Eight: Humans, It Shouldn't Be Like This

Xia Lian once again communicated with Alayah in his mind.

Can I reproduce this engine repeatedly?] 】

[The engine itself can be reproducible, but the crux of the matter is that there are only four Nibelungen who are the controllers of the engine.]

They are not remanufactured objects, but living beings.

If you repeatedly embody them into the world, then some logical errors will occur. 】

[In other words, there can only be four.] Xia Lian muttered softly.

[If you can crack the technology of this engine, it is not impossible to copy.] 】

Xia Lian bowed silently, and soon, he returned to the new summer palace, and after dinner, he returned to his room.

Tomorrow morning, I have to get up at about four o'clock to prepare, so Xia Lian doesn't plan to sleep tonight, let the mercury make a can of black tea and prepare to sit on the balcony for a few hours to enjoy the night view.

At this moment, there was already a festive atmosphere in the entire Sun City, with colorful bars and virtual banners hanging everywhere, and some virtual projection screens began to project the family crest of the Helios family and the projection of Xia Lian.

The media began to build a campaign for him three days ago, and there was a regular channel that was talking about him 24 hours a day.

The bombing of Bahram occupies the main space, and in addition to the documentary made by Xia Lian from childhood to adulthood, a documentary will be released.

The people in the palace and all the people he has been in contact with will take turns on various news channels and interview channels, the core of which is to brag about themselves, and will also show some childhood images that have never been released.

Playing with a dog by himself means that he has empathy, knows how to care for animals, and is skateboarding, that is, he has good motor cells.

Even fighting with his classmates shows that he has blood, and he has even been martial since he was a child.

All in all, it's how the cow blows.

His father used to be in this process, or rather, this process began when Xia Lian was a child, and since he was a child, he was exposed to the public eye, often going to various ceremonies with his father.

Although I was born in an aristocratic family, I was happy, but there were some troubles, and privacy was a problem.

Xia Lian silently picked up the black tea on one side and took a sip, and then, he frowned slightly.

Lowered his head to look at the mercury.

"Tap."

"Hmm~" Mercury responded in a low voice.

Don't think crooked, you're just massaging Xia Lian.

Well, massage.

Xia Lian slowly leaned back on the chair comfortably, blowing a cool breeze, overlooking his great country.

Enjoying the feeling of being served by others, it can only be said that it is no wonder that so many people in ancient times liked to be emperors and faint monarchs.

The feeling of waking up to the power of the world and getting drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman is indeed intoxicating.

"Ding Dong"

There was a bell from the bedroom door, and Xia Lian frowned and looked at the door.

Subsequently, the cat's eye of the door was opened with AS.

Elder Zong and Teresa stood in the doorway.

"What's the matter?" Xia Lian asked.

"Sect Elder has something to ask you for." Teresa replied.

"Oh, wait a minute." Xia Liandao.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and after a few minutes, Mercury got up and stood beside Xia Lian, his throat moving slightly.

He replied, "You can come in."

The door was opened by Xia Lian, and the figure of the sentence walked out from behind the door, walked to the balcony, and sat down on a chair on Xia Lian's side, also overlooking the Sun City.

"What do you have to do with me? Sect Elder." Xia Lian asked.

Sect Elder was silent for a moment and said.

"I'm here to apologize to you."

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows with some confusion.

"At the Supreme Council, I voted yes on whether to elect Xia Su as regent."

Xia Lian's eyebrows furrowed, and he smiled, "I can understand your position."

Elder Zong's eyes looked into the distance with deep eyes, and his voice was tired and old.

"At the beginning, your grandfather was forcibly pulled into the public position by me, and that was the most regrettable thing I did in my life.

However, it is not regretted for what he did.

That kid I watched grow up.

He's a lot better than your father, smart, sharp, and knows everything.

But that's not his purpose, he wants to become an interstellar explorer and explore the wider universe.

But I stopped his ideals and forcibly locked him in a position he didn't want to sit in.

Then, in order to get revenge on me, he began to indulge in lust, began to squander, and did not pay attention to any government affairs.

He thought that I would remove him from his throne and let him go in search of freedom..."

"But you didn't." Xia Lian said.

Sect Elder sighed, "I thought that he would always understand the responsibility on his shoulders and understand what I expected of him.

But I didn't expect it.....

Early one morning, he committed suicide.

Died in, when he was young, in the model spaceship I built for him ....

In his hand, he holds a star map."

Sect Elder's tone was very low.

"I thought I would leave before him."

Sect Elder trembled and took a deep breath.

"Sometimes I fantasize about whether in another world, he is just riding that spaceship, holding a star map, exploring the unknown, doing everything he wants.

But fate is like this, and there are no ifs in this world.

After your father's body was escorted back, I thought, perhaps, that it would not be a good thing to inherit that position.

That position also represents heavy responsibilities and shackles.

But if you're willing to take on that responsibility, then I won't say much."

Mercury silently poured a cup of black tea for Zong Lao.

"Starting with your grandfather, before the succession, I will tell you a story, and tomorrow is your succession ceremony, and I will continue this tradition."

Sect Elder pondered for a moment.

"That's the story of the first Grand Duke.

He lives in the garbage mountains of a remote resource planet under the control of the Old Union.

The people who live there don't have any concept of a country, and the whole planet is controlled by a single "company".

They control the planet's education, medical care, military industry, and even law enforcement.

They have the same power as the state, but they are only interested in the interests of the state.

In that place, there are only two classes, one is the corporate elite, and the other is the ordinary people.

The company's powerful cloning technology and low-level intelligent technology in addition to the artificial intelligence control method are enough to cover all the low-end industries.

Xia Lian, do you know what is more terrible than doing a low-end job and receiving a meager salary?"

Sect Elder looked at Xia Lian.

"It doesn't make sense.

All jobs have been replaced by cheaper, low-level artificial intelligence and clones.

The labor force of the people at the bottom has become meaningless, and the group of ordinary people has been completely swept into the garbage heap, and it has become worse than dust.

If you want to do a serious job, you have to study, but the high tuition fees can only be paid by the elite.

The class is completely locked in, and there is no possibility for people to escape.

People without jobs are cornered.

Women can only sell their bodies, while men can only wander on the edge of sin, go to gangs, rob, drug trade, human trafficking, murder, as long as they can live, they will do it.

And some people who have the opportunity take a spaceship and go to become an interstellar pirate.

And in the end, these people will die at the hands of the law enforcers under the control of the company, in order to demonstrate the justice of the law."

Charian was silent, and the meaning of humanity was completely denied, the final stage of capitalism as conceived by many scholars.

In this state, there will be no workers' revolution either, because they have completely broken the concept of the worker.

"People have been stripped of their wretched and bloody, their shame and their kindness, and they have all become hooligans and prostitutes who do all kinds of evil."

Sect Elder's voice was very low.

"Despair, perhaps, is not enough to describe the world.

The first Grand Duke used to have a father, a mother and a younger sister, and later, his father lost a leg in a gang fight and lay in bed.

Losing the breadwinner of their home is also equivalent to losing hope.

After the family starved for about half a month, his father drowned his sister and killed his mother.

At the age of twelve, when he finished transporting the poison, he happily used the money he earned to buy a few pieces of black bread and bring it back.

He saw his father holding the bodies of his sister and mother, sitting on a bed with a pile of flammable materials, and talking to him with empty eyes.

"Go buy a lighter, it'll cost thirty federal coins."

Elder Zong took a deep breath.

"The progress of science and technology is a double-edged sword, it makes people's lives better, and at the same time, it is also erasing the meaning of human existence little by little.

This system may not be the best, and the reason why people eliminated it 10,000 years ago must be justified.

But at the very least, he can use his power against the thing called "capital."

"Actually, there is." Xia Lian muttered softly.

"It's just that it has been forgotten by the people of this era.

That is, the ideal born from the best vision of mankind, but finally the lack of capacity.

But in this day and age, it is entirely possible to achieve it.

The popularization of AS can break the monopoly of knowledge, and the existence of artificial intelligence can make absolute overcapacity.

After it is realized, everyone can do what they want to do, whether it is physical labor or mental work, there will be no difference between dignity and inferiority,

People no longer work to make money, but to achieve themselves, to withdraw money according to their needs.

No one can have the right to surpass others, even the right to kill others, by virtue of force or outnumberedness."

"That's what we all want."

Sect Elder muttered in a low voice, "But we know that ideals cannot be achieved by relying on utopian dreams.

It takes a leader with power to guide the world.

Power is needed, and what you have in your hands is the power to realize him."

Xia Lian bowed.

"What if..."

Sect Elder slowly closed his eyes, "The world you said can really be realized.... Perhaps, Xia Lie would not have taken that path.....

Each of us sails alone in this sea of destiny, and the vast majority of us have no control over where we sail, and can only move with the waves.

And you will be the ones who make the tide.

Helios .... and it will be delivered into your hands.

At least.... Don't let that kind of world happen in this land again.....

The old man's voice became quieter and quieter, and then gradually fell silent, he closed his eyes tightly, as if he was asleep, but his original sentence was even more withered.

"Your Highness." Mercury looked at Xia Lian and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Lian raising his hand.

"He's gone to explore the stars with my grandfather." Xia Lian muttered softly.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't even know what the old man's name was.

He asked after a moment of silence.

[Alayah, what's his name?] 】

【Xia Ke】

Xia Lian fell silent, Xia Ke is the name of the first Grand Duke......

....

"The clothes were made in a hurry, but they fit well."

Teresa sorted out the military uniform for Xia Lian, which was somewhat similar to the German military uniform, which was very slim and made people look tall and spirited, especially when Xia Lian combed his hair back into the back, which looked even more energetic.

A dark blue cloak resembling a quilt king was draped over his body, the cloak was made of fine dark blue velvet, inlaid with white satin, a gold chain crest at the front, and a palm-sized medal hung from the cloak.

Not only cloaks, but also many medals on military uniforms, each of which represents a special meaning.

"Alright." Teresa patted Xia Lian on the shoulder, "Go up."

Xia Lian stepped onto the suspended hood on one side and took a deep breath.

The car also slowly drove away from the palace hall with the driver.

As the morning sun shone on Xia Lian's face, an uproar came from not far away.

Countless streams of people filled Xia Lian's sight, and people squeezed forward with all their might, wanting to see the true face of their Grand Duke.

The Star Guards worked hard to maintain order to avoid a stampede.

Tsunami-like waves came and went, mostly praising Xia Lian and cheering long live.

Xia Lianhui smiled and waved.

Looking at the sea of people around him and listening to the roar of the crowd, his eyes appeared a little dazed.

Some people, in such a scene, will see power, see supremacy, and desire and ambition will expand endlessly.

They were unscrupulous, took everything for granted, and even feared that the waters of the boat would capsize and oppress the people in every way, as was the case with the Qing Dynasty, and its end was obvious.

And some people will see the faces of expectation, and see their excited and excited expressions, the expectation and yearning for happiness.

His father saw it, and in Xia Lian's memory, he never saw him walk out of his office before twelve o'clock until his father ascended the throne.

And what did Xia Lian see?

Xia Lian remembered the story told by the old man, remembered his father, and remembered the people he had seen in the New Federation.

In the imagination of mankind in the 21st century, such a huge productive force and an almost inexhaustible supply of resources and energy are enough to realize the most noble ideal of mankind, called "great harmony".

But the quality of human beings has not kept up, like children with sharp weapons in their hands.

This may be the result of cultural genocide.

Xia Lian remembered what Alaya had said before.

In the 5,000 years to the 21st century, more than 4,700 years of mankind have been the age of handicrafts.

During this time, human civilization has undergone the change of dynasties, and there has not been much change for thousands of years.

It was not until the advent of the era of science and technology that the pace of mankind was accelerated, and the development of half a century surpassed the development of human beings for thousands of years....

For more than 4,700 years, although human beings have not developed science and technology.

But they're developing something more important.

That's how technology is used.

What they have developed is called culture, called ..... Thought.

Human beings shouldn't be like this.....

....。
