Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 511: Unsolvable technological disaster (4/4)

"We are the empire, the black tyrant and the first emperor you speak of are me and my father's grandfather and father... Are we crazy, to discredit our own grandparents? Especially he brought us such a powerful empire situation?"

Shaking his head slightly, the second prince patted the experimental table in front of him after laughing: "My meaning is very simple. Ian, your strength is not worthy of doing something that even the fifth energy level can't do." Simplify and popularize'. Now is the limit, because everyone can benefit, and if you continue to go deeper, the first one who opposes you is the monopoly group formed by the platinum iridium workshop and all other large alchemy workshops."

"At that time, without the support of financial resources, how will you become stronger? If you don't become stronger, you will always be suppressed by others, and you will not be able to do what you want to do!"

"Give up this path. When you become the fourth energy level and become the first talker group of the Platinum Iridium Workshop with Isengard, then there may be a chance to make some reforms."

"But even so, don't continue to study 'reuse' - remember my advice, Ian. You have done a good job, your new theory can increase the production of alchemy potions, and the market price will not Avoid lowering the dose, this is already progress, and more people will be able to use cheap medicines, but don't make more changes now... that will only cause confusion."

At this moment, Mikael's eyes are shining: "Because of the great increase in productivity, there will be a shortage of raw materials, and there will not be enough consumers to buy the extra goods..."

"Do you think that the economic crisis of the empire was due to insufficient goods? No, there are too many!"

"Do you think it's not enough technology? No, it's too much!"

His voice became louder: "Under the call of my grandfather, the major alchemy workshops are actively producing, and they even developed the 'Inscription Intelligence'. An alchemist can produce the past one hundred on the production line. Potions that can only be made by a thousand alchemists—just happen to be in the same direction as your research, Ian, the quality of those potions is mediocre, even inferior, but they are quite cheap, and theoretically 'ordinary people' can afford them .”

"However, too many things are produced, but no one buys them, no one uses them - nobles are unwilling to use these inferior products, and ordinary people don't need them. Do you know how many alchemy workshops closed down at that time Do you know that the platinum iridium workshop you are in now, this giant was just a small workshop that could be seen everywhere at that time, and it was even difficult to make a profit?!"

"What... what?"

Ian couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this - he thought he would hear something like the alchemy workshop refusing to cooperate, but he never thought that what he heard was "the alchemy workshop actively cooperates in the development, And then close down' kind of thing that borders on nonsense.

But what Mikhail said was beyond his expectation...even beyond his worst imagination and guessing before.

——Inscription intelligence... and production line?

—Great surplus in productivity? !

No wonder, no wonder the universal education of that era failed, no wonder the educated at that time could not find a job...

Not because the technology is too low, but because the technology is too high! ?

"So..."

Ian moaned in his heart: "It's actually because of the breakdown in this aspect..."

It’s no wonder that Master Goser’s attitude towards the late emperor is so complicated, and it’s no wonder Mikael asked himself not to study any popular potions—the “reuse” technique he researched to reduce the cost of potions and the artificial intelligence matching rate are too high , Machinery may not be the best in terms of source quality, but it may be much better than humans in terms of operating precision in saving materials.

Researching this, is it to make the major workshops reproduce the era of bankruptcy when too many medicines are produced and no one buys them?

No wonder, no wonder... No wonder, in that era, Inaiga II didn't have many relevant helpers, as if he was isolated and helpless.

Because, he really did screw up the group of people who supported him.

Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but forget to breathe.

The words of the second prince continued.

"It is the development of technology at will without restrictions, which will cause turmoil! Now the empire still has the technology of inscription intelligence, but they dare not use it at will, because once it is used, what will those people without jobs do? ? What about those groups that retain their productive capacity? Is everything really replaced by intelligence? Isn’t the empire in turmoil the target surrounded by countries and the target of other forces?”

"Can you understand now? Pure technology can't solve the problems that the empire will face-it can even be said that the better the technology, the bigger the problems, and the disaster we will face... the more terrifying it will be! "

Taking a deep breath, Ian remained silent, listening to these did not seem like problems that an 'empire', or a 'normal civilization' would encounter at all.

Mikael seems to think that Ian knows the secrets of these alchemy circles, but he doesn't actually know.

Ian fell into deep thought, but a very clear concept emerged in his mind.

——The Terra civilization is a legacy of the pre-epoch civilization... It was not a normal civilization in the first place.

It is a...post-apocalyptic civilization with a legacy, nourished by a legacy, and bound by a legacy.

The remains of an interstellar civilization.

Looking at the pensive young man, Mikael stood up slowly, knowing that Ian understood what he said: "I have to say, it's really a pleasure chatting with you, you can always understand me I mean, no wonder everyone looks at you very well."

"I understand." At this moment, Ian suddenly said: "You think that the failure of the late emperor is because the ordinary people he tried to help couldn't help him at all."

Ian suddenly understood Mikael's thoughts.

——It is... In Terra, ordinary people who are not sublimators, even if they are empty-handed, even one million, ten million, one billion billion ten billion, cannot kill a second energy level. It's very simple, the second energy level can fly, the subsonic level flying, and the body is unbelievably strong.

Unless alchemy cannons and more high-tech weapons are used, the cost performance is extremely low, and there are too many resources to pile up... But in fact, they can't operate them, and if the second energy level also has armor Or Ether Arms, and everything is reversed again.

Even if it can be manipulated, the third energy level is truly transcendent, and the existence of the mind light body is unsolvable... let alone the fourth energy level that is enough to destroy the kingdom.

Combined with the intelligence of the inscription... sublimators don't even need ordinary people to 'produce'.

Whether it is arable land, alchemy potions, or even more industrial production, at most a small number of technicians are needed to troubleshoot some mechanical problems, and other things can be handled by intelligence.

Just like I did back then—as an engineer, I don’t really need to work at ordinary times. Most self-repair engineering machines are enough to deal with most of the relatively low-end problems, and all I need to do is Deal with some harder and less frequent accidents, or solve problems with maintenance robots.

So here comes the problem.

What is the meaning of the existence of ordinary people?

The nobles and sublimated classes include all "knowledge owners". Their brains are smarter than ordinary people, and their thinking is more agile. They can even observe the frequency of light waves with the naked eye, and directly manipulate nanostructure creations with source matter.

They themselves are a complete set of production equipment, and they are a technology tree itself.

Ian is confident. At the third energy level, he can rub out the power engine of the previous life with his bare hands, or the power furnace of the pre-epoch civilization in the Sequoia Base. Of course, this is assisted by a silver chip, but if the powerhouse of the fourth energy level has blueprints, he may be able to do it.

As long as there are blueprints, the powerhouse of the fifth energy level can probably make a spaceship by hand.

They alone can replace an industrial system with tens of millions of people, or even more, which is even more terrifying.

If you add a full set of artificial intelligence systems...

OK.

Revisit the question again.

When sublimators can even do such outrageous things...

What should ordinary people do?
