Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 1079
[1079. The Age of Contempt (3)]
He
shook his head and said, “As far as I know, no one can use teleportation except that young man – the savior.”
“But… if these teleportation devices are so advanced, how were they originally made?”
He looked confused and said, “And those people from Isparting look very… very different. They don’t look like people who have mastered such advanced technology at all, but more like ancient people.”
“This question,” Su Zhe answered He said, “Let others discuss it. As for you, you have no right to judge. You just need to complete your work.”
Su Zhe turned to look at his father again and smiled, but the smile only touched the corners of his mouth.
“And the aircraft you mentioned is probably just a temporary replacement.”
“Uh, a temporary replacement?” Dad was stunned.
Su Zhe looked at the deep sky outside the window, shook his head and said, “Our largest aircraft can only carry dozens of people at a time. Think about it, how long will it take to transport these millions of humans?
Moreover, This does not take into account the energy and safety issues consumed by the aircraft. These humans are not soldiers, they are just ordinary people, and we should not take such risks. In addition, we must also think about the time and energy spent organizing these people.
” His face began to darken again. This problem seemed to have been bothering him for some time.
“Uh…time and energy…are you talking about the number of transports? Millions of people…thousands of times? No, tens of thousands of times…?”
Dad frowned and counted carefully. But with his level of arithmetic, he might never be able to figure out the answer.
But he also understood what Su Zhe meant.
Dad knows how much energy it takes to get millions of people to behave. This is definitely a huge mobilization effort. Especially in this turbulent era, it is really painful for humans to organize and manage the floating city.
At the same time, he also realized the fact that he could no longer wave the weapons in his hands and order people in a simple and crude way what they should do and what they shouldn’t do like in the past.
The fist is truth, the sword is justice, the violent world is a thing of the past, and these people are not slaves, but citizens of flesh and blood.
In a sense, their lives in the few months after arriving in the Floating City were like experiencing thousands of years of human history. These people got rid of the habit of wandering around in search of food due to seasonal changes, and also got rid of the life of being trapped in the ruins and cultivating their own one-third of an acre of land.
They spanned time and space, that is, from the so-called barbaric slave era to the economic era and the “modern” era of great material abundance.
They need a sense of security very much now. Escaped from the barbaric land age and lived in cities and fortified cities. Only in this way can women give birth safely, human beings can continue to thrive and have a future.
Dad then thought, why is he not like this?
In any case, the humans on these two floating cities are the only ones left on the planet. Although their appearance, skin color, language, clothing and skills are different, they all have one name – human beings.
After the meeting of different worlds, the world was formatted almost instantly. A terrifying tide of beasts swept across the land, and monsters roamed everywhere with abilities unknown to humans. No matter what they hunted before, these otherworldly beasts will now hunt humans.
For a time, everyone lost their original homes and became homeless.
The planet was ravaged by beasts, washed away by viruses, and humans were forced to migrate. All the tragedies are still vivid in our minds, and the extremely terrifying scenes have become the common memory of everyone.
But everyone actually longs to return to the world below. After all, who wants to stay in such a small floating city for the rest of their lives? It is not a home, just a fortress, a war machine.
Therefore, it is also the inner dream of most people to regain their homeland, not to mention that they still have the savior who has saved everyone.
Dad has recently been enjoying listening to stories about pre-civilization times, and the information contained in these stories fascinates him. Of course, he himself doesn’t read, because how can he read if he doesn’t know a few Chinese characters?
All books and knowledge can be found in the floating city, so he asked his subordinates to read it before telling him about it, so that he could use his own judgment to understand the content and turn it into the knowledge he needed.
He understood some simple truths. Since ancient times, human society has presented a pyramid of social hierarchies at any stage, whether it is on the ground or in a floating city: there are huge grassroots workers doing basic work; there are high-level people in the middle. The workers who produce and the defenders who keep society running; and the leaders of social progress who are at the top.
They will jointly bear the responsibility for the future change and destiny of mankind.
Then, the means of ruling these humans must also be upgraded, testing the governance, control and action abilities of the people at the top of the tower to bring the consciousness of the entire society to a more advanced form.
He didn’t know what to call this form, but he had already begun to think about the future development trend.
He believes that in an era that has just experienced great changes, human society should be dominated by an extremely totalitarian regime with no vitality. Because disasters that threaten all mankind may strike again at any time, everyone must contribute to society and the collective, otherwise there will be no need to continue to survive.
In troubled times, the influence of morality, belief, and system is far less than that of pure force. This kind of force is not internal, but external.
Everyone has seen the many powerful people and high-tech weapons in the floating city. After this, people’s confidence is overwhelming and a common understanding has been formed.
They feel that this is a force they can rely on, and the sense of crisis condenses into a powerful centripetal force, which comes from the people’s hearts. In this way, humanity becomes more united than before.
Dad seems to have a natural instinct, a keen intuition that only managers have. This is probably something he has honed over the years as a mob leader in Westworld.
In short, he now believes that society should not distinguish between high and low, and no one will be superior and treat everyone equally. The ruler’s methods must be clear, and the regulations must be transparent so that people can consciously abide by the regulations. Everyone reached a consensus, recorded it in their minds, and subtly formed a collective memory.
Maybe this method is legal? Maybe it’s policy?
Although Dad realized this, he still couldn’t draw a reliable conclusion. In his opinion, these methods don’t make much difference.
No matter what form it takes, it will never be a violent threat of blood and fire.
Su Zhe seemed absent-minded and just looked at his father dully, silent for a long time.
“So, does the elevator you mentioned have to be built on the ground before it can operate?” Jay suddenly asked.
