Beneath Deep Space

Wang Zhiyuan picked up a steamed bun and bit it with his teeth. The soup immediately overflowed and his mouth was filled with oil. He couldn't help but praise: "Victoria, your skills in making steamed buns are getting better and better."

"Really? Thank you!" Victoria smiled happily, wearing an apron and sitting at the dining table to enjoy her breakfast.

"Don't praise her, she only knows how to make steamed buns!" Zhao Chao said angrily. But I have one left hand and one right hand, and I don’t even care about my son.

The little guy Zhao Ting was really greedy and yelled while sitting in the child's chair, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.

The two Chinese men never expected that they would both end up asking for white women as their wives. However, after living for a long time, white and yellow people are actually about the same...

While eating, several people discussed the current social situation.

"Overall, it's not bad. But I feel a little embarrassed to get free things, and I don't feel at ease..." Zhao Chao's wife Victoria said.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. It's better to buy it with new coins. It's safe to use..."

While they were eating, they felt that it was difficult to change their current way of thinking, but it seemed that some changes had already taken place...

Things like "money" seem to have become less important. Rich people are of no use in the Noah... Besides, there are no particularly rich people here.

"Money" cannot bring social status. At most, it can only buy more daily necessities. The entire money worship phenomenon has completely disappeared. The new human civilization advocates "wisdom" and "knowledge", and ordinary people only respect people with wisdom and knowledge.

I don’t know when this kind of social atmosphere was formed...it seems to be natural.

A few people were chatting, and suddenly they started talking about the failed "social experiments" on Earth in the past.

Humanity has had similar social experiments in its thousands of years of history, the most typical of which is the "New Harmony Commune."

In 1824 AD, the thinker Robert Owen bought 30,000 acres of land in India and built the "New Harmony Commune", starting a great communist attempt. The commune implements the following principles: "public ownership of the means of production, equal rights, democratic management, and sharing of the fruits of labor. All members perform their duties and do their best."

From this perspective, the goals of the "New Harmony Commune" are very similar to those of Yu Yifeng and others. But this is something that was put forward in the 19th century, and I have to say that these thinkers are great pioneers.

At the beginning of its establishment, the commune showed a prosperous scene. Irving's experiment attracted widespread attention in the United States and Western Europe. More than 1,000 people participated in this experimental activity. Even some well-known figures in the United States at the time came here to enthusiastically participate in the construction of the new village.

However, the "New Harmony Commune" is not isolated from the world. It was surrounded by capitalism as a whole, and all kinds of people came to join the commune, with various purposes and ideas. Therefore, various conflicts soon arose among the members, and it became less "harmonious" than expected.

Members gradually became lazy and unwilling to engage in physical labor, and the output of the entire commune began to fall below consumption. Over time, the entire economic situation gradually became unable to make ends meet. Four years later, the "New Harmony Commune" declared bankruptcy and the experiment failed...

"...But our situation is a little different."

Wang Zhiyuan burped and then said: "At least the current social productivity and people's ideological consciousness are much higher...and our system is more complete."

"People in the 19th century didn't have any ideals, and they didn't have that high level of consciousness. In contrast, our new human civilization still has ideals..."

"The external crisis is at least the driving force for us to move forward..."

After several people finished breakfast, they went to their respective workplaces to start a new day.

…

Yu Yifeng looked at the report on the table with a strange look on his face.

Things were not as bad as the worst, and there was no looting. There were 25 communities in total, and no looting or the like had ever happened once.

That's true, after all, the government has fully announced all the "rules of the game." Even the "New Harmony Commune" in the 19th century could last for 4 years, let alone the current new human civilization.

The citizens on the Noah ship were obviously of higher overall quality and wiser than the people of the 19th century. They know where their bottom line is and what the government can tolerate.

Normally, people follow the rules of the game set by the government.

Even if there are a few thorny people who want to be bold, they still have to pat their chests and ask themselves if they have the courage. Several guys who spread rumors and caused trouble in the past were imprisoned. Under Calvin's mental transformation, they became completely honest people...

Yu Yifeng glanced at several names. These people were all candidates he thought might cause trouble.

However, these guys are actually pretty good. Even if they take some supplies, they are still below the average, with nothing outstanding.

The average line is the number obtained by dividing the total supplies by the total number of people. People seem to be spontaneously unwilling to touch this number. People began to carefully control their own resource usage, so as not to use other people's shares...

Everyone feels that it seems very unqualified to use other people's things, especially when everything is open and fair.

Moreover, another strange situation has emerged: although prices are very expensive, many people are still willing to spend new coins to purchase resources from the government. They feel that the things they bought can be used with peace of mind...

This phenomenon was something that the top government officials did not expect, but if you think about it carefully, it should indeed be the case.

No one wants others to think that they are of low quality and are unwilling to receive more supplies. They are cautious when using free things for fear of being misunderstood, but they are more confident when using purchased things.

This is because people's mainstream thinking still remains on the concept of "private ownership" and has not been able to change.

"According to this trend, it has become an equal distribution." Yu Yifeng murmured to himself. He scratched his hair and felt that there was some trouble.

According to this situation, people's quality is generally good, but the current average distribution is not what Yu Yifeng and the others want.

Many people are not even willing to touch the average, they would rather buy something from the government at a high price. As a result, the total material resources of each community cannot be used up at all, and people's living conditions are worse than expected.

"Distribution according to need" is not an equal distribution, after all, everyone's needs are different.

Just like cooking a pot of rice, some people have a big appetite and eat a lot, and some people have a small appetite and they eat less. This is all reasonable.

The key is to let every citizen know what his or her “needs” are. And when the total amount is limited, everyone needs to control their "needs" and desires...

There is so much knowledge involved, and there is no quantitative calculation method. Even Yu Yifeng feels this problem is a bit of a headache.

In ancient China, there was a saying called "denying oneself and restoring rites", which can also be compared to the current situation. Everyone has to temper their desires a little to conform to the overall norm.

This situation is somewhat similar to the Green Light Man’s philosophy...

If Yu Yifeng and other high-level officials of the new government were allowed to see the political system of the Green Light People, would they find that they had inadvertently achieved "communism"? !

The survival needs of Green Light people are actually very few. They can survive with sunlight, water, and air. Their civilization has never had such a thing as "currency" from ancient times to the present. Even the term "economy" was only proposed in modern times.

What maintains the social form of Green Light Civilization is "ritual". They believe that as long as it conforms to "ritual", it should be vigorously developed. Of course, science and technology is also one of them...

It has to be said that the system of the Green Light Man seems to be very strange. This strange system can easily accomplish things that are difficult for human society to accomplish...
