Chapter 315: Poison with honey
Takano was very alarmist and meant to scare Meng Chao.
He almost pressed against Meng Chao's nose and said, "You guy didn't expect it, did you?"
Meng Chao's face was quiet and indifferent.
Takano was a little disappointed, but he could only follow his own ideas: "We believe that after decades of colonization war, Dragon City will be divided into two very different classes.
"The first level is the extraordinary.
"The extraordinary people at that time, both their power and their power, will greatly surpass the extraordinary people today.
"They will master the ability to destroy the world, have super enterprises a hundred times larger than the current scale, conquered one tribe and kingdom after another indigenous people, and even became the "god" in the eyes of the indigenous people in the other world.
"At that time, these high-ranking extraordinary people can use drones, think about tanks and biochemical pets to build an army that is absolutely loyal to themselves and even extends their own body.
"If you want to get slaves and cannon fodder, you don't have to seek help from Longcheng. You can use the natives of another world to implement their will.
"Such extraordinary people are no longer subject to Longcheng's constraints, nor have they have to bear any responsibility to ordinary citizens. They can pursue their own strength and the interests of super companies as they wish.
"If they were willing to maintain the existence of the Survival Committee and defend the glory of Dragon City, it was only because both the Survival Committee and Dragon City were reduced to their tools to help them plunder more resources and provide stronger fuel on the journey from "human" to "superman".
"The second class is ordinary people.
"I guess the future ordinary people in Longcheng may not be as miserable as ordinary citizens in terms of material conditions and basic security guarantees as the rise of the empire in the Earth era.
"Because the extraordinary people gather great power together, there is no need to squeeze the compatriots of the past.
"But the extraordinary also has no motivation to invest resources on his compatriots, so that his compatriots can practice better than himself.
"This has nothing to do with morality, it is just a very simple arithmetic problem.
"The same resources, investing in yourself, may make yourself more cultivating, breaking through the limits of life, and controlling new magical powers. When investing in your compatriots, you can only cultivate a third-rate master who is slightly stronger than cannon fodder. What's the need to do to do this more?
"In the end, even if the Dragon City civilization really conquered the entire alien world, the life of ordinary people may not be much better than it is now. It is very likely that they will still live such a life - sleeping in a narrow space like a beehive, filling the stomach with synthetic food made from earthworm meat and monsters every day, intellectually unable to compete with extraordinary people, costly unable to compete with drones and native slave workers in other worlds, whether high or low, or finding a job, they can only rely on the welfare of extraordinary people to live. The mental depression is relieved through various sensory stimulation online entertainment, and over time, it becomes a burden, scum, and parasite of the entire civilization.
"Meng Chao, this is the future of Longcheng. Don't you think it's very scary?"
"Well……"
Meng Chao blinked his eyes and wanted to say, "Is there such a good thing?"
Although Takano's deduction is not without reason.
The future of most ordinary people becoming burdens and parasites is indeed scary.
However, Meng Chao has seen the more terrifying future.
Compared to the future where the entire Dragon City turned into ashes, the "bad future" depicted by Takano is simply a paradise.
Meng Chao scratched his head and gradually understood Takano's concerns.
He, perhaps his friends, were worried that after Longcheng conquered the entire alien world, the extraordinary people would expand, deteriorate, and fall.
But this question is a bit overwhelming.
Or, they think too beautifully.
The fact is that Longcheng cannot conquer the other world at all.
Whether ordinary people or extraordinary people, facing the rampant gods and demons in another world, they can only join forces to keep warm, struggle, and finally end up together.
“Now, you should know who ‘we’ are.”
Takano didn't know the countless thoughts that flashed through Meng Chao's mind in an instant, and thought Meng Chao had been shocked by him. He raised his head and said calmly, "We just don't want such a future to turn into reality, we just want to limit the power of the extraordinary and let the extraordinary and ordinary people reach a balance."
"etc."
Meng Chao said, "Director Gao, you are also an extraordinary person."
"Yes, I am the extraordinary, and you are the extraordinary."
Takano sighed and said, "But before becoming a transcendent, we are first a human being. Even if we become a transcendent, we are not ready to betray the interests of human civilization, right?
"If the 'bad future' I just said comes true, 1% of the extraordinary people are becoming stronger and stronger, so strong that they surpass the limits and definitions of human beings, they can get rid of Dragon City, Earth and human civilization and exist independently; 99% of ordinary people are getting weaker and weaker, losing the spirit and ability to fight for civilization, and becoming a burden and a parasite - do you think this is our original intention to expand the alien world? Can such two classes defend the interests of human civilization?"
Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "Director Gao, even if you are not worrying about this issue, isn't it too early to think about this issue? It's like the couple just bought a lottery and started arguing about how to allocate it after winning the 500 million prize. Isn't this necessary?"
"No, it's necessary. If you don't think or act now, it's too late."
Takano said seriously, "The extraordinary people are getting stronger day by day, and the gap between them and ordinary people is getting bigger day by day. Now, when ordinary people unite, maybe there is still a way to check and balance the extraordinary people. When the extraordinary people really control the power comparable to gods and demons, how can ordinary people balance the extraordinary people?"
"Will you think too much about the extraordinary?"
Meng Chao frowned deeply, "No matter how powerful the extraordinary is, it comes from ordinary people. Many extraordinary people also want to defend the interests of all mankind, including ordinary people. The extraordinary tower and the survival committee also advocate that unity is greater than everything. The stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility.
"Have you heard of the two slogans proposed by the Supernatural Tower in recent years? The blood of the strong must flow for the weak! The Supernatural is the sword of human civilization!
"I believe that the extraordinary person who upholds this spirit will not completely lose control."
"Of course I've heard these two slogans, but don't you think these two slogans are very scary?"
Takano sneered, "The so-called 'the blood of the strong should flow for the weak' is very inspiring on the surface, but in a subtle way, it divides human beings into 'strong' and 'weak', and highlights the obligations of the strong. But you must know that obligations and rights are equal. When the blood of the strong really flows for the weak, it enjoys more resources than the weak, and even asks for rewards from the weak, isn't it natural?
"At the same time, this slogan also greatly stimulates the laziness of the weak, making the weak feel that bleeding and sacrifice is only the obligation of the strong, and you just need to curl up under the wings of the strong.
"The so-called 'The extraordinary is the sword of human civilization' is also a truth. The seemingly heroic slogan is actually concentrated on the power of exercising force on the extraordinary. Whoever controls the sword will control everything. What if one day the sword turns the direction, what should the weak do?
"Of course, I believe that when the Tower of Supernatural Talents throws these two slogans, there is no malice at all. Most of the extraordinary people in contemporary times will sincerely implement the spirit contained in these two slogans, fight for human civilization, or even sacrifice.
“But people will change.
"Even if this generation of extraordinary people remains unchanged, their descendants, the next generation of extraordinary people, and the next generation of extraordinary people will change.
"You just said, 'No matter how powerful the extraordinary person is, it comes from ordinary people'. Now, maybe this is the case, but in another fifty years, one hundred years, when a supernatural father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother... are all supernatural people, why should he believe from the bottom of his heart that he comes from ordinary people and has the responsibility to fight for ordinary people?
"At that time, I am afraid that the words "the blood of the strong will flow for the weak" and "the extraordinary is the sword of human civilization" will be given a brand new meaning and become a poison that has been smeared with honey.
"In short, ordinary people who account for 99% of the total population must not completely pin their hopes on the morals and slogans of extraordinary people who account for 1% of the total population. Otherwise, the future of our civilization will be destined to be bleak and bloody.
"The weak should not expect the strong to bleed for them without reason or bottom line. The sword of human civilization should be every human being. Only when ordinary people and extraordinary people reach a balance of strength can our civilization have a future, and the colonization war can achieve true victory."
"Director Gao, you convinced me."
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "But I still don't understand, what does the balance between these... ordinary people and extraordinary people have to do with the things that happened in the 'spiritual creatures'? Now ordinary citizens in Longcheng can also awaken their extraordinary power through cultivation to check and balance high-level extraordinary people and their super enterprises!"
"Yes, but what about the odds and trends?"
Tatsuno, "As resources become increasingly concentrated in the hands of high-level extraordinary people and super enterprises, the entire cultivation system is constantly becoming more and more complex and cutting-edge. More and more magical powers must be built from a small scale to achieve something. The cost of cultivation for ordinary people is getting higher and higher, and the hope of achieving extraordinary things is becoming increasingly slim. The rise channels of Longcheng are constantly narrowing, and the "poor sons from poor families" are gradually becoming a miracle. Ordinary people want to rely on conventional cultivation methods to counterattack and control their lives, which has become an impossible task. How can they check and balance the peerless strong people and super enterprises?
"A lucky person like you who are talented and have adventures are rare after all.
"For most ordinary people, the 'Extraordinary Road' in the conventional sense has been blocked.
"So, I developed a technology..."
