Chapter 8 You don't know what you're up against
Ma Xianhong was stunned when he was asked, he stood in place and was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's not just the company that wants to deal with me?" β
Xu Qian shook his head and sighed: "You still haven't understood the core question: who doesn't want you to make a successful self-cultivation furnace?" β
Who doesn't want him to make a slim furnace successfully?
Ma Xianhong pondered and said in a deep voice: "The people in the company, and those high-ranking people in the circle? β
Xu Qian didn't answer him immediately, he reached out and grabbed a leaf that had been blown off by the wind, and took it to his eyes to carefully observe its texture: "Are you so sure that those ordinary people will definitely like Ling's self-cultivation furnace?" β
Ma Xianhong's eyes widened.
At this time, he finally understood what Xu Qian was going to tell him, and he also knew the question that he had been ignoring all along.
The reason why it was ignored was because Ma Xianhong always took it for granted that his self-cultivation furnace was good for ordinary people and beneficial to ordinary people, and ordinary people would definitely accept it and would not oppose it.
As long as he succeeds in making the self-cultivation furnace and then tries to popularize it, ordinary people will definitely sing and dance and rap to accept it, but ordinary people are a big group, far more than aliens, will they think the same?
Xu Qian let go of the leaves in his hand, looked back at Ma Xianhong, saw him standing in place and pondering, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have understood the core of the problem, you only considered that the self-cultivation furnace is beneficial to ordinary people, but you didn't think about whether ordinary people would accept it and whether they had the ability to accept it." β
Ma Xianhong said with difficulty: "Why won't they accept it?" β
"Because of two points!"
Xu Qian stretched out a finger: "The first point is that they themselves are unwilling to accept it, which involves the social structure of ordinary people. Ordinary people's society is different from that of Inhumans, and as you know, their social environment is far more stable than that of Inhumans. β
"They can study steadily, work steadily, marry and have children steadily, although they don't have the magical abilities and means of Inhumans, but they live a stable life, but if they become Inhumans, can their current stability still be guaranteed? You Ma Xianhong gave them a promise? β
Ma Xianhong didn't speak, he might be able to ensure the stability of Biyou Village, but how could he guarantee a stable environment for everyone.
Xu Qian continued: "The difference between aliens and ordinary people will inevitably lead to changes in social patterns, and change means turmoil, accidents, disasters, and even wars! β
"There is a saying that 'it is better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person', why do you think that they will give up the current stable social model and re-explore a model that does not know the future?"
Ma Xianhong was still silent, he realized for the first time that his previous thoughts were naΓ―ve.
He didn't think about these things at all, he just felt that the self-cultivation furnace was good for ordinary people, so it would definitely be accepted.
"This is only the first point, but some people don't accept it, and there must be ordinary people who want to accept it."
These words made Ma Xianhong's gray eyes light up and regain their brilliance: Yes, if someone doesn't accept it, then don't let them use the self-cultivation furnace, and only transform those who are willing to accept it into aliens.
Thinking like this, Ma Xianhong woke up suddenly: No, he wants to turn all ordinary people into aliens, he wants to create a world where there is no difference between ordinary people and aliens, if only those who are willing to accept are transformed into aliens, isn't that a departure from his idea?
But how can this problem be solved?
Kill all the ordinary people who don't want to transform into aliens?
For a while, Ma Xianhong felt a headache!
Xu Qian stretched out another finger: "Second, you have thought that the company will hinder you, and the bigwigs of the Inhuman world will hinder you, but have you ever thought that there are no high-level ordinary people who will hinder you?" β
Ma Xianhong's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to have been thirsty for a long time: "Is it because of the population red line?" β
In this world, there is a red line of proportion between the inhuman population and the world population - 1 in 50,000, which is the proportion of the population of the countries in the world under one person, which means the ratio of the inhuman population that the world can tolerate to the world population.
If the Inhuman population continues to increase dramatically, once the ratio exceeds 1/50,000, the originally loose Inhumans' sense of racial cohesion will become stronger and stronger, and the risk of ordinary people becoming aware of the existence of Inhumans on a large scale will also increase.
As the proportion continues to rise, breaking through a certain threshold of pressure on human society, such as the destruction of Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or the witch hunt in the European Middle Ages, it will be repeated.
Xu Qian said: "Population red line? You have to think about the reasons behind the population red line, why it exists, and that's the key! β
"The difference between Inhumans and ordinary people is that Inhumans are strong and few in number, and Aliens are large in number and relatively weak in individuals, if the Inhuman population expands, in case one day Inhumans want to become the masters of the world and divide themselves and ordinary people into two classes, they are high, and ordinary people are slaves and slaves, if you were ordinary people, would you be willing? Do you think that's going to happen? β
Ma Xianhong didn't answer, he knew the answer very well in his heart.
If the Inhuman population increases, this is something that is bound to happen.
At that time, Inhumans will not see ordinary people as their own kind, but as slaves, and even pig and dog food.
"Besides, have you ever thought about ordinary people? Those in power, those celebrities and aristocrats, those capitalists, their views on all people can be transformed into aliens? β
Seeing the expression on Ma Xianhong's face, Xu Qian sighed: "It seems that you haven't thought about it!" If I were an ordinary person in power, a celebrity aristocrat, or a capitalist, Lao Tzu would never want those mud-legged people to be transformed into aliens! β
Speaking of this, Xu Qian burst into a foul language: "Everyone has become a stranger, how can I show that I am of noble birth and that I am different?" β
"Moreover, everyone is an alien, and they all have magical abilities, and the variables are too great, and it is more difficult to manage, and it is even more difficult to control, which is not conducive to their rule!"
Ma Xianhong's body trembled violently, and Xu Qian's words were like a demonic whisper, hitting his heart and setting off a monstrous wave in his heart.
"Have you ever heard a saying that 'the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology'?"
"When everyone is an ordinary person, I have power, I have money, I have a noble background, then I will leave 99% of the people behind, even if those poor ghosts work hard for ten lifetimes, I am afraid they will not be able to catch up with my current class, the class is so distinct, how beautiful the world is. But what if everyone becomes a stranger? β
Without Ma Xianhong answering, Xu Qian asked himself: "Maybe as long as there is a mutation, there will be mud legs from the bottom against the sky, directly rushing to the class that my ancestors have accumulated for several generations to reach, how can I be willing to be caught up by the poor ghost with mud legs?" β
"So even if I can't become an alien myself, I don't want those poor ghosts with mud legs to become aliens!"
Xu Qian showed a smile and fell into the eyes of Ma Xianhong and Guo Liang, which was extremely terrifying.
"It's the same with those bigwigs in the Inhuman Circle, they have their current status and power through the abilities they master, why should they add variables to their lives?"
"The more Inhumans, the higher the probability of someone appearing who can pull them off the horse!"
"If I were those big guys, I would like most of the Inhumans to die, and only one or a few of them would be the best!"
Ma Xianhong and Guo Liang were stunned when they heard this, and then they all felt a heart-piercing chill.
Especially Ma Xianhong, Xu Qian's words simply subverted his previous cognition, he knew that he would encounter enemies and obstacles, but he didn't know that the enemy would be like this.
