Chapter 2284

Li Jialing looked out of the window at the rows of disabled veterans bowing and offering flowers. He clenched his fist and said, "in the age of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, it will not be like this."

"It's all the same."

Li Yaodao said, "in the era of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, there was not so much corruption and intrigue among the cultivators, and the cultivators were not as selfish and morally corrupt as they are today. It's not that the cultivators' moral standards were higher in those years, just because the Empire was still in the pioneering period, We can wantonly devour the interests of the newly conquered areas in all directions to ease the internal conflicts.

"For a country like the real human Empire, its vigorous vitality must be based on the ever accelerating expansion. When the expansion stops, all kinds of internal contradictions will break out, and the Empire will inevitably decline.

"The extent of the Empire's corruption to today's degree is already beyond cure. Any" innovation "will cure the symptoms but not the root cause. At most, it can remove the tumor from the body, but it is impossible to change the defects deep in the gene. Let alone Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu, even if the black star Emperor Wu Yingqi is reborn, how can he treat this country?"

"If you really want to transform the Empire and make it reborn, you have to thoroughly refute and negate Xiuxian Avenue, which is" the law of the jungle, conquers the king. "The question is, is the real Empire without Xiuxian Avenue still a" real Empire "? And who can afford such a devastating reconstruction of his own fundamental mind? "

Li Jialing thought deeply for a long time: "it has to be like this. Is there no other way out?"

"It has to be."

Li Yao seriously said, "survival is the first instinct of life. As long as Xiuxian Avenue adheres to the principle of" the law of the jungle, the king defeats the enemy ", in order to survive, all people will be driven by their instinct to spend all their resources on themselves and spend them in meaningless internal struggles. Even if they don't use it for the time being, they will not invest in the public and the society What else can we talk about in terms of "optimal allocation of resources" in the struggle between the state, civilization and the outside world

Li Jialing frowned and shook his head: "even so, is Xiuzhen Avenue better? Is it true that under the guidance of Xiuzhen Avenue, Xiuzhen practitioners will certainly maintain a high moral standard, fight wholeheartedly for the public, and there will be no class consolidation and huge interest groups? If so, the Republic of Xinghai will not perish, nor will the firefly

"You're right. I don't want to cheat people. No matter who cultivates the truth or the immortals, they are all human beings. As long as they are human beings, they have all kinds of human instincts, desires and defects. What happened today in the human Empire, tomorrow... Yesterday on the Xinghai Republic and the firefly, they also happened, and even led to the destruction of the former and the latter."

Li Yao fell into deep thinking and murmured, "but I am still willing to believe that, at least, in a society where the mainstream ideas are" the strong help the weak, the weak feedback the strong, the strong and the weak work side by side and support each other ", people do not have such strong motivation, We have to damage the interests of the whole to strengthen ourselves - since the whole is the strongest backing and the warmest reliance of the individual, it is not against humanity to put the interests on the whole first, strengthen the whole first and then consider ourselves, right?

"If you still can't understand it, build the simplest social model. In this model, the whole society is highly compressed and simplified, with only two people and one resource.

"One of them is you. You are not sure whether you are a cultivator of truth or an immortal. You can make flexible changes in the two strategies.

"The other is an expert whose strength is far higher than you, but he is seriously injured now, and he urgently needs this resource to recover.

"Naturally, now this resource is in your hands. If you choose to consume this resource yourself, you can increase your strength by 10 points, and another seriously injured expert is likely to die immediately.

"But if you give resources to this seriously injured master, his strength can be increased by 100 points after he recovers.

"By the way, in addition to you two, there are all kinds of threats in this world. The stronger your overall strength is, the more likely you are to survive in a dangerous world.

"The problem is, first of all, if you know that this seriously injured master is a ruthless cultivator, who believes in the concept of" the law of the jungle, respect the strong, defeat the king, and take all the winners ", are you willing to give this precious resource to him, so that he can fully recover his real strength, and your strength is only one fifth or even one tenth of his?

"In the second case, if you clearly know that this seriously injured master is a practitioner who has fought for the weak countless times, how would you choose? It is to give yourself resources to maximize your individual combat effectiveness; Or give it to him to maximize the combat effectiveness of your team? "

Li Jialing's eyes turned round and round, his fists clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I can't lie. In the first case, I will leave all my resources to myself, and I don't care whether this master will die or not; In the second case, I am very likely to give resources to this expert. Anyway, he will protect me after he recovers his strength.

"However, in the first case, there is another option. If this resource can be divided, I will divide the resource into two parts, one part for myself and the other part for this expert, so that he can recover a little bit, maintain his strength at a slightly weaker level than me, and play a little role."

"It's all the same."

Li Yao said faintly, "no matter how many resources you divide up for this immortal cultivator, your team's combat effectiveness has not been maximized. In other words, the" optimal allocation of resources "has not been realized.

"Not to mention, if you give this seriously injured immortal cultivator a little bit of resources, he may not appreciate you, or he may be angry at your stinginess. In the next battle, they have to fight against each other and watch out for each other. Before external threats appear, they will fight together first, right?"

Li Jialing was stunned for a moment and said: "yes, it is right. But in the second case, who can guarantee that the practitioner will get all the resources and protect the weak after he recovers his strength? In case his mentality changes, he will tear off the mask of hypocrisy and abandon me at the critical moment?"

"Probability, everything has probability. I didn't say that in the second case, the strategy of giving all the resources to this master practitioner must be correct. I can only say that such a strategy will maximize the survival probability, that's all."

Li Yao propped his hands on the window frame and looked at the statue of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, in the drizzle across the street. "It's true that the true cultivator may be a hypocrite, but the immortal cultivator must always be a real villain. The hypocrite will only harm people when he finally tears his face. The real villain has been spraying poison 24 hours a day and every second from the beginning, You have to do everything at the expense of others and yourself. If you have to choose a partner, you'll know how to choose! "

Li Jialing frowned and said, "what exactly does brother Yao want to say?"

Li Yaodao: "what I want to say is that in any small-scale world, if your companion is an immortal cultivator, no matter how kind-hearted, moral and selfless you are, it's useless. Based on the instinct of survival, your only strategy is to quickly turn yourself into an immortal cultivator. It's better to be a colder, more cruel and more treacherous immortal cultivator, At least strike a "balance of terror" between you so that you can be safe and your relationship can be stable for the time being.

"But in this way, the world of cultivating immortals composed of you can't achieve the boasted" optimal allocation of resources ". On the contrary, under the most ideal conditions, you can play 100 points of combat effectiveness. Under the survival game of intrigue and intrigue, you can only play 10 points.

"I'd like to call this phenomenon the" immortal cultivation dilemma ". The whole human empire is now in a huge" immortal cultivation dilemma ", so that there are the richest and abundant resources in the center of Xinghai, but even the little Holy Alliance in the corner of Xinghai can't be eliminated.

"In the second social form, if your partner is a practitioner, you also have a great chance to become a practitioner and make selfless actions, such as giving precious resources priority to the other party, because you know that this is a reliable investment. After the other party recovers, you will certainly collect more resources to give back to you.

"Such a positive incentive and feedback will make you two more and more selfless and United, and eventually achieve the" optimal allocation of resources "and output the most powerful overall combat effectiveness, right?"

Li Jialing tilted his head and thought for a long time: "it seems to be."

"Of course, isn't a living example in front of us?"

"You used to be a little devil who didn't know what was good and what was evil. You planned to disguise yourself and kill people bloodily without blinking an eye. You were the best one to cultivate immortals. But since you met brother Yao, a kind-hearted, moral and moral practitioner, you were unconsciously influenced by my great personality, Is it not the best proof that we should learn to look at the world with the way of thinking of the practitioners and gradually turn to the direction of the practitioners?

"So, as long as everyone gives a little love, the universe will become a better tomorrow. Although Xiuzhen Avenue seems a bit out of date and downcast now, it will become the mainstream of the central star sea again in time! The only way to save the empire is to cultivate the truth. If we really want to "innovate the Empire" and create a "new empire", it should not be the new empire of the generation of Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu, but the new empire of the whole people cultivating the truth! "
