Chapter 273 Is technology a scam?
  In the blood-stained clouds, dragon-like creatures were tumbling back and forth. They absorbed the blood-red clouds into their bodies, and then discharged white clouds from the gaps in their scales, like filters, filtering out all organic matter.

On board the Natural Selection, Cheng Ying watched the blood-red clouds gradually turn white again, and curled his lips: "I probably know how to explain it to people in the science in the future. I just said that the clouds turned red before because of the transmission of light. The temperature is low, and only red long-wave light can pass through it..."

Ice Emperor sat on the command platform of Chengying on the bridge and rolled his eyes at Chengying's explanation: "According to what you say, your so-called science is no better than religion."

"It's not that powerful to begin with. It's just a different way of ruling. But it's undeniable that technology can make people live a good life." Chengying set up a telescope and a rangefinder, and after swallowing the same kind of remains of the Cloud Shepherd, the volume The changes are summarized in table form.

"You're wrong. The development of science and technology will not make people's lives better. In ancient times, primitive humans hunted and gathered and only needed six to eight hours a day to run for food.

The rest of the world can be used for entertainment, art, and even mating, until humans have tamed wheat, or... are tamed by wheat.

Everyone was deceived by a huge lie that they could get food without going out to collect and hunt. They learned to delay enjoyment and put all their lives for a year on the production of food.

When the wheat is thirsty, humans water it. When the wheat is hungry, humans fertilize it. The wheat takes root in the soil and cannot walk, so people build houses and stay there forever.

The body that originally evolved for hunting had to bend over and work, and then suffered from various chronic diseases, giving up all enjoyment, just for a big lie.

The average lifespan of humans who live by planting is shorter than that of primitive people, and their food has changed from nutritious fruits and meats to simple starches. Wheat has not made people live better. On the contrary, it has made people live better. Things got even worse. From this moment on, wheat held humans in captivity! And how can you guarantee that the so-called technology is not another scam under the guise of delayed enjoyment? "

Ice Emperor put his hands on his hips and pointed a finger at Cheng Ying's nose. He was only a little taller than Cheng Ying on the podium, but he acted like a young adult and spoke eloquently, which made Cheng Ying chuckle. A laugh broke out.

"You used the story I told you to refute me again."

"I...I didn't! I was thinking on my own! Am I right? The gold coins that the construction workers worked so hard to exchange for are actually depreciating at a terrifying rate of about 15% every year!

You are like a greedy slave owner, waving the whip called finance, driving everyone away, and squeezing out all your own value. "Bingdi retorted angrily. She obviously didn't really oppose Chengying, she just wanted to win the debate once.

Cheng Ying took Ice Emperor down from the command podium, borrowed the auxiliary equipment on the command podium, released a holographic projection, input the data of the Cloud Shepherd, and conducted verification.

"You win this time. I'm a big capitalist and a villain who squeezes out the surplus value of all human beings. That's okay!" Cheng Ying smiled and rubbed the Ice Emperor's little head, but she slapped it away.

"No! I want you to refute seriously! I'm not a 10,000-year-old child anymore!" The Ice Emperor was so angry that it was hard not to think that she was a child.

"Huh... But it's really hard to refute your question! The owners of the means of production will always exploit the proletarians. This is an indisputable fact!

It's just a matter of clever means. Financial exploitation only kills people without showing any blood, and it's not necessarily any lighter than those exploited by ugly landowners.

In fact, my subjects have been delaying their enjoyment. It seems that my taxes are the lowest in the continent, and the city gate tax has even been completely abolished. But we are a salt and iron franchise, and all profit-making industries are in the hands of the state. , these are hidden taxes, they just can’t see them. Some people save money to buy a piece of land of their own, not to mention 996, and eat worse every day than before, just to save enough money before the land price rises, but nearly % of them will live in this life None of them can save enough money to buy a piece of land. The only difference is that they can see hope and are squeezing themselves.

In fact, just like the wheat you mentioned, my technology may not make people's lives better. However, one of your misunderstandings is that you confuse individual interests with overall interests.

Before humans tamed wheat, they were just a group of forest apes picking fruits. They were an insignificant part of the biosphere, and their extinction would not cause any changes.

But now, humans and the livestock raised by humans account for more than half of the animal mass in the entire biosphere. For this race, they have indeed become prosperous, and so has technology.

The living standard of an individual depends on many factors. If you think it is really necessary to make people live a good life, then control the population as much as possible. In this way, after industrialization, you can achieve a level of great material abundance and ordinary people want to eat more meat. All with ease.

But I don’t advocate increasing social welfare to that level. Just like the nation I belonged to in my previous life, it is a very hard-working nation. It is not because China has good feng shui, but because it often suffers from famines.

How hard it is to make a country prosperous, like the black uncles in Africa, many of them did not develop because they lived too comfortably. I guess if the social welfare goes up, there will be a group of unlucky children like Eastern European refugees in all likelihood.

OK! I have refuted it very seriously, but I can only refute part of your argument. How about calling it a tie? "Chengying held Ice Emperor in his arms like a rag doll and refused to accept any rebuttal.

"Hmph! Am I getting better and better!"

"Yes, yes! My Bingbing is the most powerful!" Chengying coaxed the Ice Emperor, but he didn't stop. He quickly completed the review of the previous battle in the holographic projection.

Looking at the replay, Cheng Ying frowned. At the beginning of the battle, the single ship Natural Selection broke through the clouds and killed all directions. Even if it was surrounded at the end, it relied on its strong shield and high-speed mobility to escape calmly. .

But at the end of the battle, a scene appeared that made even the Ice Emperor frown.

"This... is too exaggerated! The mass loss is only 12%? Are you kidding me?" Ice Emperor felt his scalp numb as he looked at the calculated data under the holographic projection.

"Mathematics doesn't lie. If the observation results are correct, then the mass loss of the cloud herders when swallowing similar cells is only 12%. If three thousand cloud herders can be integrated into one with this efficiency..." Cheng Ying just said Thinking about a big guy that's tens of thousands of meters tall, I feel like my scalp is numb.
