Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 272: Is technology a scam?

Among the blood-stained clouds, dragon-like creatures writhed and shuttled. They absorbed the blood-red clouds into their bodies, and then discharged white clouds from the gaps in their scales, like a filter, filtering out all organic matter.

On the Natural Selection, Cheng Ying watched the blood-red clouds gradually become white again, and curled her lips: "I probably know how to explain it to people in the approach to science, saying that the clouds turned red before because of light transmission The intensity is low, only red long-wave light can pass through Yunyun..."

Sitting on the podium of Chengying on the bridge, Bingdi rolled his eyes at Chengying's explanation: "According to you, your so-called science is no better than religion."

"It's not that strong, it's nothing more than a different means of governance, but it is undeniable that technology can make people live better." Cheng Ying set up a telescope and a range finder, and after swallowing the same kind of wreckage of the cloud shepherd, the volume The changes are summarized in tabular form.

"You are wrong. The development of science and technology will not make people's lives better. In ancient times, primitive humans were hunters and gatherers, and they only needed six to eight hours a day to run around for food.

The rest of the world can be used for, entertainment, art, and even mating, until humans tamed wheat, or were... tamed by wheat.

Everyone was deceived by a huge lie that they could get food without going out to gather and hunt. They learned to delay enjoyment and put their entire year of life on the production of food.

The wheat is thirsty, humans water it, the wheat is hungry, and humans fertilize it, the wheat is rooted in the land, unable to walk, so people build houses and stay there forever.

The body originally evolved for hunting had to bend over to work, and then suffered from various chronic diseases, giving up all enjoyment, just for a big lie.

Human beings who live by planting have an average life expectancy shorter than that of primitive people, and their food has changed from nutritious fruits and meat to simple starch. Wheat does not make people live better, on the contrary, it makes people It got even worse, from this moment on, Wheat kept humans in captivity! And how can you guarantee that the so-called technology is not another scam under the guise of delayed enjoyment? "

With one hand on his hip, Bingdi stretched out a finger to point at Chengying's nose. Standing on the podium, he was only a little taller than Chengying, but he acted like a little adult. A laugh came out.

"You're contradicting me again with the story I told you."

"I... I didn't! I was thinking on my own! Am I wrong? The gold coins that the construction workers worked so hard for are actually depreciating at a terrifying rate of about 15% every year!

You are like a greedy slave master,

Wielding the whip called finance, driving everyone away, squeezing out all their own value. "Bingdi retorted angrily. She obviously didn't really object to Chengying, but just wanted to win the debate once.

Chengying carried the Ice Emperor off the podium, borrowed the auxiliary equipment on the podium, released a holographic projection, entered the data of the shepherd of the cloud, and checked it.

"You've won this time. I'm a big capitalist, a villain who squeezes out the surplus value of all human beings. Let's do it this way!" Cheng Ying smiled and rubbed Bingdi's little head, but she slapped her away.

"No! I want you to seriously refute! I'm not a child of 10,000 years old!" The Bing Empress was so angry that it was hard not to think she was a child.

"Huh... But it's really hard to refute your question! It is an indisputable fact that the owners of the means of production will always exploit the proletarians!

It's nothing more than the difference between clever means, and financial exploitation is just killing people without blood, not necessarily less than the exploitation of those ugly-looking landowners.

In fact, my citizens have been delaying their enjoyment. It seems that my taxation is the lowest in the whole continent, and the city gate tax is even completely cancelled. But we are a salt and iron franchise, and all the profiteering industries are all in the hands of the state. , these are hidden taxes, they just can't see it.

Some people want to save money to buy a piece of land of their own, not to mention 996, and even eat worse than before every day, just to save enough money before the land price rises, but nearly 30% of them will live in this life They can't save enough money to buy a piece of land, the only difference is that they can see hope, and they are squeezing themselves.

In fact, just like what you said about wheat, my technology may not necessarily make people's lives better, but your misunderstanding is that you confuse the interests of the individual with the interests of the whole.

Before humans tamed wheat, they were just a group of fruit-picking forest apes. They were just an insignificant part of the biosphere, and their extinction would not cause any changes.

But now, humans and the livestock raised by humans account for more than half of the animal mass in the entire biosphere. For this race, they have indeed become prosperous, and so has technology.

The standard of living of an individual depends on many factors. If you think it is really necessary for people to live well, then you should control the population as much as possible. In this way, after industrialization, you can achieve a level of material abundance. Ordinary people want to eat more meat It's all a breeze.

But I don't advocate increasing social welfare to that level, just like the nation I lived in in my previous life was a very hardworking nation, not because of the good geomantic omen in China, but because of frequent famines there.

How hard it is to make a country prosperous, like the black uncles in Africa, many of them did not develop because they lived too comfortably. I guess if the social welfare goes up, there will be a group of unlucky children like Eastern European refugees in 10% of them.

all right! I have refuted it very seriously, but I can only refute part of your argument. How about a tie? "Chengying held the Ice Emperor in her arms like a rag doll, and refused to accept rebuttals.

"Hmph! Am I getting better and better!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My Bingbing is the most powerful!" Chengying coaxed the Bingdi, but he didn't stop, and the holographic projection quickly completed the replay of the battle just now.

Looking at the replay, Cheng Ying frowned. At the beginning of the battle, the single ship Natural Selection broke through the clouds and killed all directions. Even if it was surrounded at the end, it relied on its strong shield and high-speed mobility to escape calmly. .

It's just that at the end of the battle, there was a scene that made even the Ice Emperor frown.

"This... is too exaggerated! The mass loss is only 12%? Are you kidding me?" Ice Empress looked at the calculated data under the holographic projection and felt her scalp tingling.

"Mathematics can't lie. If the observation results are correct, then the mass loss of the cloud shepherds swallowing the same kind of cells is only 12%. If three thousand cloud shepherds can be integrated into one with this efficiency..." Cheng Ying just said Thinking about it, that kind of big guy with tens of thousands of meters feels his scalp tingling for a while.
