Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2345: The little lion was fooled!
Li Yao is silent. Li Jialing's remarks are quite reasonable, leaving him speechless.
Before Empire of True Humanity, from the perspective of a Star Glory Federation cultivator, it is always easy to misunderstand the sharpest contradiction inside Empire, and regard the pressing and exploitation of "real people" as "primitive people" as the main problem.
After coming to Empire and seeing all aspects of social forms and conflicts of interest, Li Yao knew that the most typical "ordinary people who have been bullied by Immortal Cultivator" among those imprisoned in factory assembly lines and industrialized Spirit Field actually did not Not the most miserable.
Yes, these ordinary people have indeed suffered inhumane treatment, but they often also have a stable food source, relatively clean drinking water, safe residence and even a meager salary. In order to enhance their work enthusiasm, Immortal Cultivator can They squeeze more surplus value from them, and even provide them with a certain amount of spiritual food. For example, Martial Hero Sector's "Slaughtering Live Stream" is an anesthetic specifically for these working classes, which can make them feel happy.
As the saying goes, "It is better to be a peace dog than to leave people alone." In areas where Empire authorities can and are willing to exercise effective rule, they will still provide a minimum of public services, carry out various infrastructure constructions, and maintain social order. It works, and in theory, there are laws that can protect the legitimate interests of the vast majority of people. Even if this law is often broken by Immortal Cultivator, it is better than nothing.
After all, Government of Immortal Cultivator is also Government , not a bandit den.
For underground below 10,000 meters, these "forgotten towns" numbered after 10000, Resident here does not even have the qualification to be enslaved and squeezed, in other words, "want to be a slave", naturally, the Empire authorities simply They will not provide public services of tiny bit here, and completely let them die.
In a dark and silent world, there is no sunlight, very little clean drinking water, and very little food. The destructive power of earthquakes is hundreds of times stronger than on the ground. From time to time, landslides and even devastating magma will occur Li Yao doesn't know who's life is worse. Those slave laborers who stooped for a lifetime behind the Magical Artifact factory assembly line, or are these underground deserters who have been forgotten by the entire universe?
Long Yangjun ’s metaphor for Li Jialing refers to the sea. Indeed, the world of deserted people is like a deep sea plain. No matter how strong the stormy waves are on the sea, no matter how fierce and fierce giants are fighting, they will not The slightest impact on the seabed sediments, in the eyes of those ocean overlords, these small fish and shrimps struggling to survive in the seabed sediments simply do not exist.
However, Li Yao can also understand why Long Yangjun brought him and Li Jialing here. Now that the layout of Great Emperor Dark Star Wuying Ji has been launched, it is very likely to control the entire Paramount Heaven Sector and Empyrean Terminus Star, no matter which city they are hiding in, it is difficult Escape hiding the sky and covering the earth, ubiquitous Crystal Eye monitoring and locking.
Even if you go deep into most of the towns of underground, they are still within the control of the authorities. They are set up with a large number of Crystal Eye and connected to the wireless Spiritual Nexus, as long as they leave a vague figure in a certain Crystal Eye , May lead to a large number of chasing soldiers.
Only these forgotten cities with numbers after 10000 do not have the existence of Spiritual Nexus and Crystal Eye. They are completely out of the eyes of the high-level Immortal Cultivator, and they are a "paradise" where they can safely heal and recuperate.
Li Yao and Li Jialing come from a sunny world. Their natural appearance is slightly different from that of underground ’s near-transparent Human Race. Their walk in the town attracted the attention of a large number of underground people.
It's just that most underground people only dare to hide behind stalagmites and mushrooms, wrap themselves tightly with dense fog, and look at them carefully, without daring to make eye contact with them.
Where their sight falls, wherever the underground people will shrink their necks and escape into Bewildering Mist.
Only the innocent children dare to stare at them intently, seeing that they are not malicious and not too dangerous. Several of the most daring children finally followed behind them, turned into a series of small tails, and swaggered to learn They walk.
Li Yao turned around and grimaced at these children. The children screamed and dissipated. After a while, seeing that Li Yao had no other actions, they gathered together and learned to grieve like Li Yao's. Weirdly called: "Black eyes! Yellow eyes!"
Children born in underground have never seen real sunlight. Even the Glyph Array lighting above the head can only be adjusted to the dimest level due to lack of energy, barely illuminating the criss-crossing between the stalagmites and stalactites, Perhaps the brightest thing the children have seen in their lives is the billowing magma.
Over the past tens of thousands of years, their eyes have also mutated. While having a certain night vision ability, their pupils are slightly red. Li Yao's black eyes and Li Jialing's tawny eyes have become alien here.
The silver bell-like laughter of the children attracted the attention of adults. Several hands suddenly stretched out in the thick fog, and they dragged the children back, covering the laughter in a pair of big rough hands.
Li Yao frowned slightly, and the faint Spiritual Energy lingered between the eyes, and his sharp eyes penetrated the misty mist, which clearly saw the underground people who thought they were hiding very well.
He found a very strange phenomenon. As underground people grow older, their ability to express emotions seems to be weaker.
The innocent and carefree children will cry, laugh, play, and freely express their emotions and feelings.
But the tall adult of figure always frowns, his eyes are slightly vigilant and panic-stricken, and he is always looking for a stone crevice to hide himself. It seems that the arrival of Li Yao and Li Jialing is disturbing The heavy air here makes them extremely uncomfortable.
Older, the underground old man with wrinkles covering his face, but even the glimmer of the depths of eyes disappeared, just like a statue carved by a stalactite, squatting beside the stalagmites Motionless, as if integrated with Subterranean World.
Li Yao also saw some people in gray cloaks. They looked like the girls who had just given them meals. They were both quiet and ethereal. They sat around everywhere in the town of underground, sitting or lying, breathing very weakly. As if entering a strange state of hibernation.
Li Yao narrowed its eyes and asked Shen Sheng: "All the people here have been brainwashed by Long Yangjun, their emotions and desires have been washed away?"
He thought that the truth must be like this. Unexpectedly, Li Jialing hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I also asked Elder Sister Long, but she said no, the people here were originally like this lifeless, old-fashioned look. .
"Elder Sister Long said that the so-called strong emotions and desires are built on a rich material foundation and a developed information interaction network. As the so-called 'full warmth thinking **', even food is not enough, basic survival There is no guarantee of safety. Every day, we have to be hungry and belly trembling. That is no time to scrutinize any "emotion", "desire" and "free will".
"Elder Sister Long said that we modern people live in a highly developed post-industrial society and information Era. We can find 10,000 foods everywhere to stimulate our appetite, and there are 10,000 entertainment methods to stimulate our strong emotions and make us The desires and emotions have been stimulated to the limit. Over time, we will take such a high degree of desires and emotions as a matter of course.
"But in a world where many materials are extremely scarce, such as Ancient Cultivation World and Subterranean World in front of us, food deprivation is the norm, safety is not guaranteed, and there are not many entertainment methods. The world of God is extremely empty and deficient. People here, How can there be strong emotions and desires like people on the ground?
"Imagine if a baby was born here and has never seen the sun and songs of birds and scents of flowers, I do n’t know what forests and oceans are, and I do n’t know what a singer and movie star is, there is no novel game and virtual dating platform, life is the only one The meaning is survival and reproduction, and every second must worry about food shortages, earthquakes and lava flows. Over time, how can it not become numb and indifferent, like these underground Resident in front of you?
"Elder Sister Long said that when she first came to Subterranean World a few years ago, this is the case of the adult Resident here, silent for many years like a stubborn stone because there is nothing else to do in life, no tiny bit resources to support them Extra emotions and desires.
"Yes, she taught these underground people some methods of suppressing pain, curbing desire, and calming the mind, but it is only a boost, if the resources here are rich enough to be enjoyed by the Jiuchi Forest, there are the best Spiritual Nexus game can be played, idiot will follow her cultivation extinction method!
"Elder Sister Long also said that not only here, she estimated that even Saint League ’s site, differs not much also has meat buns, who would like to eat white buns, who have white buns, who would be hungry? If Saint League ’s The site itself is extremely rich in material, and is rich enough to satisfy everyone's emotions and desires. Who wants to give up the best things in life? The question is no! The many worlds under the Saint League are originally poor mountains and bad waters, estimated in the past In the chaotic **** battle of 10,000 years, the few resources that were originally consumed have consumed differs not much. It is really impossible to survive. People have to give up their emotions and desires and devote all the remaining resources to the only important thing. On.
"Elder Sister Long also said"
"Enough is enough!"
Li Yao interrupted Li Jialing ’s endless talk, "I find your Daoist ’s position is very problematic, why is it 'Elder Sister Long said" all day long? Even if you do n’t stand on Brother Yao and cultivator At least, you are still an Immortal Cultivator, you should support emotions, desires and free will? After mixing with Brother Yao for half a year, I have n’t seen how much you have learned. Why did you follow Long Yangjun for only ten days, and she was too fooled to find North ? Your Dao Heart won't work, you have to practice! "——
Seeing a question, a friend said that you have written contradictions. You can still hollow out the planet in Meteor Sector to refine super giant type Starship. How come the center of Star Ocean ca n’t even penetrate the mantle?
Lao Niu said, this is not contradictory.
The Planetary Warship refined by Meteor Sector in the front is a very small and very small planet similar to Pluto. The difference between the volume of large and small planets can be thousands of times! And a "habitable planet", in Lao Niu's opinion, at least has a thick atmosphere and a stable solid structure, then it can't be much smaller than the earth, it can't be an asteroid like Pluto, right?
Another one, refining Planetary Warship, did not say that the planets should be completely hollowed out, it is not necessary at all.
One of Liu Cixin ’s masterpieces, how did "Wandering Earth" do? Simply put, tens of thousands of engines are installed on the surface of the earth, and the orbit is left. The so-called "Planetary Warship" is nothing more than an engine, more turrets, hangars, military bases, etc. Everything can be done within the range of the earth's crust. It is economical and convenient to fight. It is really not necessary to hollow out the entire planet!
In any case, Pangu Nüwa or Human Race are all life that originated on the surface of the planet. No matter how well developed, as long as the flesh and body of carbon-based life remains, the mantle layer below tens of thousands of meters in underground cannot be A comfortable dwelling is less than a last resort. It's not quite possible to completely hollow out a planet and live inside it?
Dear reader friends, what do you say?
