LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 430 Nasus' Tangled (Two in One)

A month later, deep in the desert, outside Vikola City.

The Shurima survey brigade led by Taliyah is walking through the long yellow sand.

Nasus was also in the middle of this team.

He was still wearing the dusty robe, carefully concealing his burly figure.

And his height of three meters, even standing next to the huge Scalash Camel, is still not inferior.

At this moment, Nasus was following Sivir's mount on foot:
"She flows like the sea, read." Like a teacher, he taught the ancient Shurima poetry word by word.

"She flows like the sea." Sivir read with a look of hopelessness.

"Feed the people with the tide, and the crops they cultivated." Nasus's voice was cadenced, and every syllable was full of emotion.

"Using the tide to feed people, and the crops people cultivated." Sivir is like a machine memorizing texts without emotion.

"She is the grain of wheat to eat, and the cotton to make clothes... Holy, vast mother of life, you are our eternal mother!" Nasus's recitation is like singing, as if people can forget the Tired of traveling in the long sea of ​​sand.

"She is." Sivir became more and more depressed, and her voice was weak.

"Lack of energy, start over!" Teacher Nasus shouted in a deep voice.

"She is."

"Speak up! Recite with emotion!"

"I" Sivir fell silent.

Then, she broke out in silence: "Fuck! There is no end!"

Ever since this mysterious man joined the investigation team, he has been like the reincarnation of her dead father every day, forcing her to learn all kinds of useless knowledge.

Poetry, prose, mathematics, music, art, astronomy, geography, divination, general knowledge of magic, ancient Shurima, and even ancient Shurima court etiquette.
Sivir was in class from morning to night, like a Piltover elementary school student who had been enrolled in a bunch of training classes by his parents regardless.

She was almost driven crazy.

How could she, the majestic goddess of war and king of mercenaries, learn from those nerds here every day?
"Damn! I won't recite it!" Sivir angrily looked at the members of the mercenary group who were following her, and then shouted at her deputy: "You! You——"

"Everyone, come here and bury this dog in the sand!"

"Eh, this." The deputy smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, boss, keep working hard." The mercenaries also steered their mounts quietly, moving a little further away from Sivir.

After this month of getting along, everyone in the mercenary group now knows that their group leader suddenly has a "father".

Although the origin of this mysterious father is unknown, his strength is frighteningly strong.

The Shurimans revere the mighty.

Everyone could only watch helplessly as their Captain Sivir suffered silently under the hands of this wild father picked up on the road.

"Bastard!" Sivir got angry, and immediately whipped her "horse" and wanted to ride away on her Scarash.

But Nasus just raised his arm.

It was as if Sivir and her camel beast had been hit by a time-stopping spell, and their movements were infinitely slowed down.

"Let go of me." She seemed to have aged a hundred years out of thin air, and she was so sluggish that she couldn't even speak.

"Stop it, Sivir." Nasus waved off the spell, walked to her side again, and took the reins of her mount.

Then he educated: "First, I taught you etiquette, you shouldn't speak so vulgarly;"

"Second, I am your teacher, you shouldn't call me a dog. Human civilization can continue because we have teachers;"

"Third, knowledge is precious. You missed too many opportunities to learn in the past, and you should cherish it now."

"As the heir of the Shurima Empire, these are what you should do. Do you understand?"

"Bah! I don't want to be the heir to an empire!" Sivir replied rebelliously as soon as she got rid of the control of the spell: "Even if I really want to pursue something ambitious, I will only be the leader!"

Saying that, Sivir still looked at Taliyah with a look of pleading for help.

Taliyah just snickered: "Leaders also need to learn cultural knowledge."

"You should have listened to Mister Giant, Miss Sivir."

Because Nasus said that he didn't want to reveal his identity until he saw the hope of Shurima's rise, so Taliyah and others kept calling him "Mr. Giant".

And after this month of getting along, Taliyah even discovered that this Mr. Giant is not only powerful, but also extremely gentle, knowledgeable, and patient.

Taliyah would be happy to have him as Sivir's teacher.

Not to mention that since Sivir had such a "father", she was forced to take a bath and change clothes every day.Over the course of a month, her black skin was rubbed off to a few shades of white, returning to a healthy wheat color.

This greatly improved Taliyah's living environment at night.

"Okay, reflect on yourself." Here, Nasus finished educating this ineffective student with a little disappointment.

Obviously, Sivir is not the royal descendant he expected.

"Recite the long poem I just taught you, and I will come to check the homework later." Nasus left Sivir with a self-closing face and slowly caught up with Taliyah's mount.

Sivir was learning, and he was always learning.

What you learn is the theory of the leader.

"Mr. Giant." Taliyah said enthusiastically, "Do you have any questions to discuss with me?"

"Yes." Nasus flipped open the booklet in his hand with his thick, bandaged fingers.

Although he has not been in contact with human society for many years, he is ignorant of the industrial revolution and civilization progress that the twin cities outside the desert have brought to this world in the past few hundred years.

But he has a wise mind and a speculative spirit.

Just relying on the description of the past historical development and the current social background in the book, Nasus can understand what the leaders are talking about about Janna's thoughts.

After this month of study and understanding, he already has a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical program of the leader organization.

This is indeed a revolutionary, scientifically rigorous and romantic belief.

Goddess Janna, who didn't even have serious teachings back then, can now conclude such a theory after observing the development of human society, which is indeed far beyond Nasus' expectations.

"Your theories are very practical and instructive. After this month of study, I have also benefited a lot." Facing Taliyah's inquiring eyes, Nasus said modestly.

But he did not convert to Goddess Janna just because of this.

He is just using the attitude of learning to understand Janna's thoughts.It is not only learning, but also picking faults for the leaders.

Despite his strong feelings for Shurima, Nasus still has doubts about some of the theoretical details to this day.

"You say." Taliyah responded cautiously.

In front of this knowledgeable Mr. Giant, she did not dare to be too big.

The other party can always ask some sharp questions, which makes her, an experienced veteran cadre, overwhelmed for a while.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time." At this moment, I only heard Nasus say, "The key to my reservations about Janna's theory lies in your ultimate goal, the so-called Datong society."

After all, this is the ultimate ideal of leaders.If a person does not believe that the Datong society can be built, then it is impossible for him to become a true Janna leader.

"Then, what questions do you have?" Taliyah asked cautiously.

"Actually, I believe that a great harmony society can be built." Nasus said, "As you discussed with Sivir a month ago, highly developed productive forces can meet the reasonable needs of all human beings, and a progressive society will create new ones. humanity."

"People will feel satisfied because their legitimate needs are satisfied, rather than endless pursuit of desire."

"But." He paused slightly.

Then, he questioned bluntly: "I think you have overlooked one point."

"That is, the progress of human society is largely driven by people's ambitions and desires, rather than simply satisfaction with the status quo of life."

"The reason why heroes throughout the ages have become the key figures to promote the progress of civilization is because they know that if they work hard to improve themselves, they can get more for themselves."

"But if in a Datong society, everyone can only be allocated almost the same material resources according to their needs, then what motivation do humans have to work hard and strive to improve themselves?"

"This" Taliyah mused.

She asked: "Mr. Giant, you are worried that after the realization of public ownership and distribution according to needs in Datong society, human civilization will stagnate, right?"

"Yes." Nasus nodded.

It doesn't matter how much you do or how little you do, and the result can only be that no one works.

Even when pushed to work, no one actively seeks to improve.

This is the experience Nasus has gained from practice as an old leader with hundreds of years of experience in personnel management.

"I believe that Datong society is good for most people. But it is unfair for the strong."

"I believe it can be realized. But the day when the Datong society is realized is probably the day when the development of human civilization will stagnate."

"People will lay down blissfully in an as-needed paradise and slowly drown in time."

"It's like those yordles." Nasus still used Bandle City as an example with disgust: "They have lived in the spiritual realm for thousands of years, but they haven't seen any brilliant civilization created."

"Almost all of them are eating, drinking, playing and fighting, just like playful children."

"So after thousands of years, they are still living exactly the same life as before, with almost no progress."

Runeterra has an upside.When discussing Datong society here, there is a real example of Bandle City, which can be directly used as a reference.

But Bandle City, which is as beautiful as utopia in the eyes of mortals, is so unbearable in the eyes of Nasus.

He couldn't bear a stagnant world, a world where no new knowledge was born.

but
"Pfft—" Taliyah couldn't help laughing.

"?" Nasus was not angry.

He was just curious about what kind of ridiculous fallacies there were in his words that would make Taliyah, who has always been calm, lose her composure.

"Mr. Giant." Taliyah said, "It seems that you don't know enough about the outside world, and you don't know enough about the yordles either."

"Do you know?"

"The leader of the industrial revolution in Shuangcheng, the founder of modern scientific civilization, and now the chief engineer of our leader's scientific equipment department, Professor Heimerdinger—"

"He's just a yordle."

Heimerdinger spent 300 years in the Twin Cities.The current flourishing scientific civilization of human beings is almost the flower watered by him alone.It can be said that he has greatly promoted the development process of human society.

"Ah" Nasus was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the point of view he put forward was untenable in terms of arguments.

The yordles in his impression were still a bunch of children who would never grow up.

Who would have thought that such a great man could be born in this group of "little cuties" who were abandoned in Utopia.

"This may be an extreme case." Nasus thought for a moment.

And he was indeed right.Most of the yordles are "street runners" like Teemo, and there are indeed very few people like Heimerdinger who are obsessed with a certain field and have made great achievements.

"No, Mister Giant, you can't directly apply the situation in Bandle City to humans."

"Most yordles have no interest in science and progress. It is probably because they live in the spiritual realm, and they have theoretically almost unlimited material resources."

"And the great harmony of human society will never be like this. So we know that we can only live a better life by making continuous progress."

"How to improve?" Nasus returned to the original question: "Most people are mediocre and indulge in pleasure, but the pursuit of progress is an anti-human and painful thing."

Saying this, Nasus looked at Sivir again.

Let her learn a little bit, and she will be as noisy as butchering a pig.

If the Datong society came, then she would have to completely lie down and become a waste?

"No, you are wrong." Taliyah argued, "You have fallen into the shackles of the theory of human nature again."

"But some things don't change," Nasus said. "Just like being stabbed in the hand hurts—learning is a pain in itself for most humans."

"This kind of pain will not be changed until Datong society."

Nasus still believes that human beings love to enjoy themselves.Datong society will bring about the "brain death" of all mankind, which will be the end of human civilization.

"But, Mister Giant." Taliyah thought for a while and replied, "Don't forget, there is another characteristic of Datong society:"

"Labor has become the first need of life—we will work only to realize the meaning of life regardless of remuneration or conditions."

"That is to say." Nasus questioned: "Are you still expecting that human beings can overcome their instincts and then fall in love with learning and labor unconditionally?"

Generate electricity for love?That doesn't sound plausible.

"Why not?" Taliyah said, "Heimerdinger studies science for reward? Mr. Giant, do you love knowledge for profit?"

"Everyone has a career that they are passionate about and are willing to fight for—"

"Including Miss Sivir."

Taliyah seemed to have guessed that Nasus would continue to use Sivir, a "mediocre person", as an example to argue that he and Heimerdinger were just unrepeatable examples.

So she took Sivir as an example first: "Although Miss Sivir doesn't like reading books, she is not very interested in music and art."

"But she loves sports very much. Throwing boomerangs is her biggest hobby in her spare time."

Although Sivir calls it practicing combat skills, anyone who is familiar with it can tell that she just likes to play with this wheel.

"I think, if it is in Datong society where there is no need to worry about livelihood, Miss Sivir will definitely become a professional athlete."

"As for the others—"

"Actually, it's not that most people don't have a career they love, but that their life strictly restricts them, so that they don't even have the opportunity to understand and discover what they love."

Taliyah talked a lot before saying:

"Mr. Giant, just because you have seen those human beings whose edges and corners have been worn away by life, you can't think that they are naturally numb."

"It's like asking the victims why they don't drink meat porridge. It's unreasonable."

"This" Nasus lowered his head thoughtfully.

At this time, Taliyah talked about the "demand theory" that Levi did not write in the book, but was widely circulated among leaders:
"Physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), social needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization."

Datong society can only support people and satisfy the first two, at most the first four needs.

And when human beings don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and don't need to think about their livelihood at all, after having lovers and friends, and gaining equality and respect
Human beings will instinctively pursue higher needs—the pursuit of realizing their own abilities or potentials and making them perfect.

"In Datong society, everyone's freedom and ability can be fully developed."

"We do a job no longer because of how decent the job is and how much money it makes, but because of the most direct reason—I like it and I am willing."

"That's what our leaders say, each according to his ability."

Taliyah spoke her mind firmly.

"Okay." Nasus nodded secretly after pondering.

But this does not mean that he fully agrees, but it is the beginning of his further doubts:
"I would like to believe that in the Datong society, human beings will overcome inertia and study and work purely out of love."

"But the question is... In the Datong society, can human beings really be completely free to choose the work they love?"

"Is the so-called each according to his ability really achievable?"

Nasus' question was very pointed:
"According to the division of labor in human society, in a well-run social system, there will always be many jobs that people can't love anyway."

People can love literature, love art, love science, love magic, love politics, love history.
Writers, artists, scientists, magicians, politicians, historians... There are people who are willing to do these jobs regardless of pay.

But there will always be no one who loves moving bricks, carrying bags, sweeping the streets, or drilling sewers, right?

"Everyone is doing what they love."

"Then who should do these jobs?"

"This." Taliyah thought about it seriously.

This question seems difficult to answer at first glance, but think about it carefully.
"This problem can actually be solved through the development of productivity."

Those jobs that Nasus said that people can't love, such as moving bricks, sweeping the floor, picking up garbage, etc.
In summary, these are essentially boring and repetitive physical work that cannot create new things.

Doing the same thing every day without creating any labor results that people can be proud of, of course people will dislike work.

"But these boring and repetitive tasks can theoretically be completely replaced by robots and artificial intelligence."

"Robot?" Nasus frowned slightly.

This is a bit of a blind spot in his knowledge.

"It's similar to a self-disciplined puppet." Taliyah put it in an easy-to-understand way.

"However, unlike puppets handcrafted by mages, robots can be industrialized and mass-produced at low cost, and used on a large scale in actual production and life."

"In fact, today's Zaan can mass-produce steam robots-these mass-produced steam robots are a bit clumsy, but they can already replace humans to do some simple physical work."

"Imagine, Mr. Giant"

"In the future, boring and repetitive manual work will be completely replaced by machines, material resources will be extremely abundant, and distribution will be realized on demand"

"Then everyone can completely let go of the burden of life and freely choose the job he loves."

"Our society will have hundreds of millions of scientists, artists, writers, politicians, and magicians—everyone can be a scholar like you, and can be Professor Heimerdinger!"

Taliyah spoke excitedly about such a bright future.

Nasus was faintly shocked.

Prosperous science and technology, everyone is like a dragon!
Enlighten the sage and awaken wisdom, everyone becomes a sage!
This is the ideal Datong society of the leader!
A month ago, Nasus would have scoffed at such "unrealistic fantasies".

But now, after a month of study and understanding, he discovered unexpectedly:

Such a society is theoretically possible!
"Hmm." Nasus thought for a while.

He still wasn't convinced by this, but after thinking about it, he raised his head and asked a question:
"Then Taliyah, do you leaders have any specific criteria for judging when a Datong society will be realized?"

It is theoretically feasible, but in practice it is another matter.

After listening to the "fantasies" of the leaders, Nasus wanted to know their specific development plans for the future.

"In short, to what extent must the productive forces be developed before they can enter the Datong society?"

"With the ability of human civilization, is there hope to develop to this point?"

"This..." Taliyah froze for a moment.

A bachelor is worthy of being a bachelor, and this question is a terrible question.

Leaders all believe that a Datong society can be realized.They have common ideals, so they are called comrades.

However, when will human beings have the conditions to enter the Datong society?
Around this issue, there are many internal differences among leaders.

Radicals believe that with the current level of productivity in Shuangcheng, it is possible to bring the whole world into a Datong society at an accelerated pace;

Conservatives believe that the current level of science and technology of mankind is still very backward, and Datong society is still very far away from us.Leaders should now make improvements on the basis of the system based on seed benzene, and consider entering the next stage when productivity increases.

These two groups of people look down on each other.

On the one hand, he said that the other party's fanaticism entered his head, and on the other hand, he criticized the other party's that the residual poison of benzene had not disappeared.

If it weren't for the organization and discipline, there would be a strong leadership with Li Wei at the core to grasp the direction, especially, there would be a real goddess Janna hanging above the head, uniting the hearts of the people.
Taliyah was skeptical, pointing to the huge differences between the two factions that they could fight each other themselves.

"Well, Mr. Giant." She thought for a long time, but she could only answer truthfully: "Actually, we leaders don't have a specific answer to when we will achieve a Datong society."

"Yeah." Nasus nodded.

He accepted the answer.

Predicting the specific solution to the ultimate problem is difficult even for the leader.

I don't know what I don't know, admit my ignorance, and then move forward in the right direction. This may not be the correct answer.

"However, President Li Wei has a rough hypothesis about this."

To Nasus' surprise, Taliyah thought about it and gave him a relatively specific answer.

"Chairman Li Wei believes that the industrialization and electrification of all Runeterra, coupled with the leader's regime, can realize the initial stage of Datong society."

"And the real Datong society is the informatization and intelligence of the whole Runeterra, plus the leader's regime."

Such predictions, of course, cannot be verified now.

After all, in all of Runeterra, only the small Twin Cities has truly industrialized.

In order to realize the informatization and intelligence of the world, human beings still need to make great progress.

But after all, this is to set a concrete goal for human beings, and let the leaders find the direction of future progress.

"This is indeed a feasible and ambitious plan." Nasus commented after pondering.

"Huh." Taliyah secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she asked cautiously, "Mr. Giant, do you have any other questions?"

"I" Nasus was silent: "No more."

Yeah, no more.

He could hardly find the problem in the leader's theory.

However, the Shurima Empire he longed for had one more problem—it was dead.

The empire has been dead for 3000 years, and there is still no hope of resurrection.

At this time, Janna brought a new answer.He took a closer look, and it turned out to be quite right.

"Could it be that" Nasus finally struggled: "The prophecy really led Shurima to Janna?"

　I wrote the theory too long before I knew it, and it might be a little watery. Ahem.

　　But I still think it's necessary.The dog's head is not so easy to fool, and it takes more reasoning to make him change his position reasonably.

　　The operating principle is inconvenient to write, so we can only focus more on theoretical principles.
