Chapter 2355

Li Yao was silent, but Li Jialing's words were quite reasonable, which made him speechless.

Before the real empire in the future, from the perspective of a star shining federal cultivator, it is always easy to misunderstand the most acute contradictions within the Empire and regard the oppression and exploitation of "real people" to "original people" as the main problem.

After coming to the Empire and seeing all aspects of social forms and conflicts of interest with his own eyes, Li Yao realized that the most typical "ordinary people bullied by the immortals" who were imprisoned in the factory assembly lines and industrial spiritual fields were not the most miserable.

It's true that these ordinary people have suffered inhuman treatment, but they often have a stable source of food, relatively clean drinking water, safe shelter and even a meager salary. In order to enhance their labor enthusiasm, they can extract more surplus value from them, They will even be provided with a certain degree of spiritual food - for example, the "live killing" in the military and British circles is a special anesthetic for the working class, which can make them feel happy.

As the saying goes, "it is better to be a peace dog than to leave people in disorder". In the areas where the imperial authorities can and are willing to exercise effective rule, they will still provide the minimum public services, carry out various infrastructure construction, maintain the orderly operation of society, and in theory, There is a law that can protect the legitimate interests of the vast majority of people - even if the law is often broken through by the immortals, it is better than nothing.

After all, the government of the immortals is also a government, not a bandit's nest.

Under 10000 meters below the ground, the residents of these "forgotten towns" numbered after 10000 have no qualification to be enslaved or oppressed. In other words, "if you want to be a slave, you can't". Naturally, the imperial authorities will not provide any public services here and let them live and die on their own.

In such a dark and silent world, there is no sunshine, few clean drinking water, and few food. The destructive power of earthquakes is hundreds of times stronger than that on the ground. From time to time, landslides will occur, and even destructive magma will gush out. Li Yao doesn't know whose life is worse. Those slave workers who stoop behind the assembly line of the magic weapon factory all their lives, Or these abandoned people forgotten by the whole universe?

In long Yangjun's metaphor to Li Jialing, he mentioned the sea. Indeed, the world of abandoning people is like a deep-sea plain. No matter how strong the sea waves are and how ferocious and ferocious the giant animals are fighting, they will not affect the bottom sediment. In the eyes of those ocean overlords, these little fish and shrimp struggling to survive in the bottom sediment, It doesn't exist at all.

However, Li Yao can also understand why long Yangjun brought him and Li Jialing here. Now that the layout of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, has been launched, it is very likely that he has control of the whole celestial sphere and the Celestial Star. No matter where they hide in the city, they will not escape the monitoring and locking of crystal eyes everywhere.

Even the vast majority of towns deep underground are within the control of the authorities. They are equipped with a large number of crystal eyes and connected to the wireless network. As long as they leave a vague figure in a crystal eye, they may attract a large number of pursuers.

Only these forgotten cities numbered after 10000 have no spiritual net and crystal eyes. They are completely out of the eyes of high-level practitioners. They are the "paradise" where they can rest assured to heal and recuperate.

Li Yao and Li Jialing come from a sunny world. Their natural appearance is slightly different from that of the almost transparent Terran in the ground. Their leisurely walk in the town has attracted a large number of underground people's attention.

However, most of the underground people only dare to hide behind the stalagmites and mushrooms, wrap themselves in thick fog, carefully look at them, and dare not make eye contact with them.

Where their sight fell, the underground people would shrink their necks and escape into the fog.

Only the innocent children dare to stare at them and see that they are not malicious or dangerous. Several of the most daring children finally follow them and become a string of small tails, swaggering like them.

Li Yao turned around and made a face at these children. The children first screamed and scattered in a crowd. After a while, seeing that Li Yao had no other action, they gathered back and made a face like Li Yao, and cried in a strange voice: "black eyes! Yellow eyes

Children born underground have never seen the real sunshine. Even the lighting array above their heads can only be adjusted to the darkest level due to lack of energy. They can barely light up the crisscross iron rope between stalagmites and stalagmites. The brightest thing children have seen in their life is probably the rolling magma.

Over the past ten thousand years, their eyes have also changed. While they have certain night vision ability, their pupils are slightly red. Li Yao's black eyes and Li Jialing's tawny eyes have become different here.

The children's silvery laughter attracted the attention of adults. In the thick fog, they suddenly stretched out several hands and pulled the children back one after another, covering the laughter in their rough hands.

Li Yaowei frowned slightly. His weak power lingered in his eyes. His sharp eyes penetrated through the misty mushroom fog, and clearly saw those underground people who thought they were extremely hidden.

He found a very strange phenomenon - as the underground people grow older, their ability to express their emotions seems to be weaker.

Those innocent, carefree children will cry, laugh, fight, and freely express their emotions and feelings.

But the tall adults always frown tightly, and their eyes shine with vigilance and fear. They are always looking for a crack in the stone to hide themselves. It seems that the arrival of Li Yao and Li Jialing disturbs the dignified air here and makes them extremely uncomfortable.

Older and wrinkled, the old man under the ground can't even see the faint light in his eyes. It's like a statue carved out of a clock. He squats beside a stalagmite for a long time, as if he is integrated with the underground world.

Li Yao also saw some people in grey cloaks, with the same look as the girl who had just given them dinner. They were quiet and ethereal, sitting or lying around the underground town, breathing very weakly, as if they were in a strange state of hibernation.

Li Yao narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "all the people here have been brainwashed by long Yangjun. Have their emotions and desires been washed away?"

He thought the truth must be like this, but Li Jialing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "I asked sister long, but she said no, the people here are just like this.

"Sister long said that the so-called strong emotions and desires are based on the rich material foundation and the developed information interaction network. It's just the so-called" full of warmth and thinking ". Even if you can't eat enough, you can't guarantee your basic survival safety. You have to be hungry and trembling every day. You have no time to worry about" emotions "," desires "and" free will ".

"Sister long said that we modern people live in a highly developed post industrial society and the information age. We can find 10000 kinds of food to stimulate our appetite and 10000 kinds of entertainment to stimulate our strong emotions. Our desires and emotions are stimulated to the limit. Over time, we will have such a high degree of desires and emotions, Take it for granted.

"But in many extremely material deficient worlds, such as the ancient world and the underground world, food shortage is the norm, security is not guaranteed, and there are not many ways of entertainment. The god world is extremely empty and deficient. How can people here, like people on the ground, have strong emotions and desires?

"Just imagine, if a baby is born here, has never seen the sun and the fragrance of birds and flowers, does not know what the forest and the ocean are, and does not know what the singers and movie stars are, and does not have novel games and virtual dating platforms, the only meaning of life is survival and reproduction, and every second has to worry about the lack of food, earthquakes and lava flows, How can it remain numb and indifferent, just like these underground residents?

"Sister long said that when she first came to the underground world a few years ago, the adult residents here were just like this, silent for years like a stone - because there was nothing else to do in life, and there was no resource to support their redundant emotions and desires.

"Yes, she has taught these underground people some ways to suppress pain, curb desire, and calm their hearts, but only to add fuel to the flames. If the resources here are rich enough to enjoy the wine pool and meat forest, and have the best spirit net games to play, idiots will follow her to practice the method of killing humanity!

"Elder sister long said that it's not only here, but also in shengmeng's territory. Who wants to eat white steamed bread when there are meat buns? Who wants to be hungry when there are white steamed bread? If the territory of the holy alliance itself is rich enough to satisfy all people's emotions and desires, who is willing to give up the best things in life? The problem is no! It is estimated that in the past ten thousand years of chaos and bloodshed, the few resources have been almost consumed, and people can't survive. Therefore, people have to give up their emotions and desires, and put all the remaining resources into the only important thing - the continuation of life.

"Sister long also said --"

"Enough!"

Li Yao interrupted Li Jialing's talk. "I find that your position as a Taoist friend is very problematic. How can you always say" sister long "? Even if you don't stand in brother Yao's position as a cultivator, at least you are still a cultivator. Should you support emotion, desire and free will? I've been following brother Yao for half a year, but I haven't seen you learn much well. How can I follow long Yangjun for only ten days, and then she can't find the north? You can't do that. You have to practice it! "

----------

See a problem, a friend said, Lao Niu, are you writing contradiction? In front of the flying star world, you can also empty planets to refine super giant star ships. How can you get to the center of the star sea and even the mantle can't be penetrated?

Lao Niu said, this is not contradictory.

In front of us, the planet warship is a tiny planet similar to Pluto (of course, Pluto doesn't even count a serious planet). The difference between the size of planets can be thousands of times! As for a "habitable planet", according to Laoniu, if it has at least a thick atmosphere and a stable solid structure, it can't be much smaller than the earth. It can't be an asteroid like Pluto, can it?

Another, refining planetary warships, did not say to completely empty the planet, ah, there is no need.

One of Liu Cixin's masterpieces, "wandering the earth" how to do? In short, it's enough to install tens of thousands of engines on the earth's surface and launch the orbit. The so-called "planetary warship" is nothing more than the whole battery, hangar and military base on the basis of the engine. These things can be done within the scope of the earth's crust. It's economical and convenient to fight. There's no need to empty the whole planet!

In any case, both Pangu Nuwa and human beings are life originated from the surface of the planet. No matter how well developed, as long as the flesh and blood of carbon based life is still preserved, and the mantle layer tens of thousands of meters below the ground, it can't be a comfortable place to live. If it's not a last resort, it can't completely empty a planet and live in it, can it?

Dear readers, what do you say?
