Chapter 315： Poison with honey

Gao Ye was very alarmist and scared Meng Chao.

I barely pressed Meng Chao's nose and said, "You kid didn't expect it, right?"

Meng Chao's face was calm and indifferent.

Takano was a little disappointed, but he could only follow his own line of thinking: "We believe that after decades of colonial warfare, the Dragon City will surely split into two different classes.

"The first class is the extraordinary.

"The extraordinary at that time, regardless of strength or power, will greatly surpass the extraordinary today.

"They will master the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth, have super enterprises a hundred times larger than they are now, and conquer one after another tribes and kingdoms of the aliens, and even become the "gods" in the eyes of the aliens.

"At that time, these superhuman beings can use drones, thinking tanks, and biochemical pets to build an army that is absolutely loyal to themselves, and even extends their limbs.

"If you want to get slaves and cannon fodder, you don't have to seek help from Dragon City. You can use the natives of other worlds to implement their will.

"Such extraordinary people no longer need to be constrained by Dragon City, nor do they have to assume any responsibilities to ordinary citizens. They can pursue their own strength and the interests of super enterprises as they like.

"If at that time. They are still willing to maintain the existence of the Survival Committee, willing to defend the glory of Dragon City, it is only because the Survival Committee and Dragon City are reduced to their tools, can help them plunder more resources, from the'people 'Evolve to the'Superman' journey to provide more powerful fuel.

"The second class is ordinary people.

"I estimate that the ordinary people of Longcheng in the future will not necessarily be as miserable in terms of material conditions and basic security as ordinary citizens during the rise of the empire in the earth age.

"Because the transcendents gather Weili, there is no need to squeeze the compatriots of the past.

"But the transcendent also doesn't have the slightest motivation to invest resources on his compatriots, so that his compatriots can practice better than himself.

"This has nothing to do with morality, it's just a very simple arithmetic problem.

"If the same resources are put on oneself, it is possible to make oneself cultivate stronger, break through the limits of life, and control new supernatural powers. When put on compatriots, only a third-rate master who is slightly stronger than cannon fodder can be cultivated. Why is it necessary to do so?

"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 honeycomb, using earthworms every day The synthetic food made from meat and monsters in the water cannot compete with the transcendents intellectually, and cannot compete with drones and alien slave laborers in terms of cost. Relying on the welfare of extraordinary people to live, mental distress is resolved through various sensory stimulating online entertainment, and over time, it becomes a burden, dregs, and parasites for the entire civilization.

"Student Meng Chao, this is the future of Longcheng, don't you think it is very scary?"

"Uh……"

Meng Chao blinked and wanted to say, "Is there such a good thing?"

Although Takano's deduction is not unreasonable.

The future where most ordinary people become burdens and parasites is indeed terrifying.

However, Meng Chao has seen a more terrifying future.

Compared to the future where the entire Dragon City turned into ashes, the "bad future" described by Takano is simply heaven.

Meng Chao scratched his head and gradually understood Gao Ye's concerns.

He, and perhaps his comrades, was worried that after Dragon City conquered the entire alien world, the transcendents would swell, degenerate, and degenerate.

But this question is really unfounded.

In other words, they think too beautifully.

The fact is that Dragon City cannot conquer another world at all.

Regardless of ordinary people or transcendents, in the face of the ravages of otherworldly gods and demons, they can only hold themselves together for warmth, struggle hard, and finally die together.

"Now, you should know who'we' are."

Gao Ye didn't know the countless thoughts that flashed in Meng Chao's mind. He thought that Meng Chao was already shocked by himself. He held up his head and said calmly, "We just don't want this kind of future to turn into reality. We just want to limit the extraordinary. The power of humanity, a person who balances the extraordinary with ordinary people."

"and many more."

Meng Chao said, "Director Gao, you are also extraordinary."

"Yes, I am a transcendent, and you are also a transcendent."

Takano sighed and said, "But before we become transcendents, we are first humans. Even if we become transcendents, we are not going to betray the interests of human civilization, right?

"If the'bad future' I mentioned just now comes true, 1% of the transcendents will become stronger and stronger, strong enough to surpass the limits and definitions of human beings, and can survive the dragon city, earth and human civilization independently; 99% of ordinary people But it is getting weaker and weaker, losing the spirit and ability to fight for civilization, becoming a burden and parasite-do you think this is our original intention to colonize the alien world? These two classes can defend the interests of human civilization ?"

Meng Chao thought for a while, and said, "Director Gao, even if you are not unreasonably worried, is it too early to think about this question? It's like two couples just bought a lottery ticket, and how to distribute the prize after winning the 500 million prize? And it’s not necessary to fight, right?"

"No, it is necessary. If you don't think and act now, it will be too late."

Takano said seriously, "The extraordinary are getting stronger day by day, and the gap between them and ordinary people is getting bigger day by day. Now that ordinary people are united, there may be ways to check and balance the extraordinary. When the extraordinary is really in control, More than the power of gods and demons, how can ordinary people balance with the extraordinary?"

"Do you think too much of the transcendent?"

Meng Chao frowned deeply, "No matter how powerful the transcendents are, they all come from ordinary people. Many transcendents also want to defend the interests of all mankind, including ordinary people, from the bottom of their hearts. The Transcendental Tower and the Survival Committee also advocate unity. Everything, the stronger the power, the greater the responsibility.

"Have you not heard the two slogans put forward by the Tower of Transcendents in recent years? The blood of the strong must be shed for the weak! The transcendents are the swords of human civilization!

"I believe that an extraordinary person who holds this spirit will not lose control completely."

"Of course I have heard these two slogans, but don't you think these two slogans are terrible?"

Takano sneered, "The so-called'the blood of the strong should flow for the weak' is very inspiring on the surface, but it subtly divides human beings into'strong' and'weak', and highlights the obligation of the strong. , But you must know that obligations and rights are equal. When the blood of the strong really flows for the weak, enjoying more resources than the weak, and even asking the weak for compensation, isn’t it all taken for granted?

"At the same time, this slogan has also greatly stimulated the inertia of the weak, and it will make the weak feel that bloodshed and sacrifice are only the obligation of the strong, and they only need to curl up under the wings of the strong.

"The so-called'superior is the war sword of human civilization' is also a truth. It looks like a heroic slogan, but in fact, the power to exercise force is concentrated on the superhuman. Whoever masters the war sword will control everything. One day, this sword changes direction, what should the weak do?

"Of course, I believe that the Tower of Transcendents did not have the slightest malice when throwing these two slogans. The vast majority of contemporary transcendents will sincerely implement the spirit contained in these two slogans, fight for human civilization, and even sacrifice. .

"But people can change.

"Even if this generation of transcendents remains unchanged, their offspring, the next generation of transcendents, and the next generation of transcendents will also change.

"You just said,'No matter how powerful the transcendents are, they all originate from ordinary people.' This may be the case now, but in another fifty or a hundred years, to be the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and grandfather of a transcendent. Grandma... are all extraordinary. Why should he believe from the heart that he originated 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 are the swords of human civilization’ will be given a whole new meaning and become honey-smeared poison.

"In short, ordinary people, who account for 99% of the total population, must not completely pin their hopes on the morals and slogans of the extraordinary, who account for 1% of the total population. Otherwise, the future of our civilization is destined to be bleak and bloody.

"The weak should not expect the strong to bleed for them without reason and bottom line. The sword of human civilization should be every human being. Only when ordinary people and extraordinary people achieve a balance of power can our civilization have a future and colonial wars can achieve true Victory in the sense."

"Director Gao, you convinced me."

Meng Chao scratched his head and said, "But I still don't understand, what does the balance between ordinary people and extraordinary people have to do with the things that happen to the'spiritual creatures'? Now ordinary citizens of Longcheng, through cultivation, also It is possible to awaken the extraordinary powers to check and balance the high-level extraordinary and their super enterprises!"

"Yes, but what about the odds and trends?"

Takano said, "As various resources are increasingly concentrated in the hands of high-level transcendents and super companies, the entire training system is becoming more complex and sophisticated. More and more magical powers must be built from an early age to achieve success. The cost of training for the people is getting higher and higher, and the hope of becoming extraordinary is getting less and less. The ascending channels of Dragon City are constantly narrowing. The "unfavorable sons" gradually become a miracle. Ordinary people want to rely on conventional cultivation methods to counterattack. And controlling life has become an impossible task. How to check and balance the superior and super enterprises?

"Fortunate people like you who are gifted and have a lot of adventures are rare in the end.

"For the vast majority of ordinary people, the ‘transcendence road’ in the conventional sense has been blocked.

"So, I developed a technology..."
