Beneath Deep Space

Chapter 278 The Age of Great Wealth

Several thick manuscripts were quickly published on the behavioral and sociological analysis of these lizard natives.

Now it is simply a carnival of sociologists and economists. They kept writing reports and books, one by one, as if they had discovered a new continent.

It feels like a real god is playing with a civilization, and I can't stop playing with it... I don't know what this indigenous civilization will become by humans.

This wave has even spread to the Noah society, and everyone is discussing esoteric contents such as currency, sociology, and economics.

A large discussion show began airing, with a host talking to several sociologists, but it became a favorite show for the public.

"...Such a social experiment is so interesting. We don't know whether the seeds of capitalism will sprout among these lizard natives...whether they will establish a reasonable trading system within civilization..."

"Will a reasonable social system be established?"

"Recently, we have observed that a group of smart lizards have learned basic addition and subtraction, and they have begun to try to help people calculate prices for a fee in order to obtain economic benefits..."

"Yes, the first internal transaction of indigenous lizards was realized in this way. It was not the sale of goods, but the sale of labor force! This is mainly due to profit, there will always be someone to do profitable things! Lizards are the first They feel the benefits of wisdom for the first time, and the economic incentives for them are huge.”

"If there were no laws and regulations, would there be lizards who would take risks...robbery or petty theft?"

"Crime is always the fastest way to make money!"

"Sure enough, he showed up! The first thief!"

"We caught the money-stealing lizard on camera but did not arrest it. This is a matter within their civilization and we are not normally prepared to interfere."

"It was caught..."

In the eyes of scientists, these lizards are no longer as innocent as before, but have shown some criminal activities.

From petty theft to serious robbery and extortion, especially extorting lizards from hostile villages...

If there is a 20% profit, the lizards will be ready to move; if there is a 50% profit, the lizards will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, the lizards will dare to risk hanging; if there is a 300% profit, the lizards will Dare to trample all laws in the world!

Greed is a devil that can drive civilization to great progress. At the same time, it will also push a civilization into the abyss...

But humans won't care about this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't affect people's archaeological excavation work.

These little actions all happen after get off work. During working hours, they are under the surveillance of robots in the god's territory, and they are all extremely honest.

"They even have some factions appearing in different villages, forming armed organizations like underworld..."

"Is the emergence of this kind of armed organization to protect property? This is also normal. Without a strong organization, money will be stolen and robbed, and the lizards have no sense of security in their hearts. They would rather spend some money to buy a sense of security. "

A sociologist wrote in the report.

He was deeply moved and was witnessing the rapid changes of a civilization.

It is difficult for humans to think of this series of things in advance. Only after they appear, will they feel...

This seems to be a matter of course.

"Due to the emergence of crime and gangsters, fights have become more and more serious, and they are almost affecting normal work."

"After they were strongly warned by the soldiers, they calmed down for a while..."

"I think they will soon form a common rule to curb crime... Otherwise, no one will be able to get better, and no one will want to live in chaos."

"This kind of regulation is equivalent to the most primitive law!"

For the lizard natives, the emergence of currency can greatly stimulate the development of their civilization and even be the driving force of their civilization.

They are hungry for economics and material resources.

Humans, on the other hand, will only act as a guide or observer, and will not specifically teach them what to do.

After all, human beings' own social structure is not very perfect yet. If they are taught to be the same as humans, it will not bring any enlightenment.

Just pushing it a little bit and letting civilization evolve on its own is actually more enlightening.

In fact, the entire lizard civilization is full of exploitation and being exploited.

A few months later, factional organizations based in large villages emerged one after another. If other retail investors want to join them and gain their blessing, they must... pay money!

Pay protection fee!

The smart lizards learned a new word from humans: pay taxes.

After you pay your salary, of course you have to pay taxes, right?

...This is simply the best era of the underworld!

According to the current situation, when chaos begins, order is also born. Although there were some nasty things during this period, overall, the entire civilization was still developing upwards.

Each indigenous lizard wants to make more money to satisfy his material desires.

Then they must use their brains and wisdom.

Some lizards who were good at arithmetic and thinking began to gain higher status among their own kind. "Wisdom" began to gradually replace "strength", and the calculating lizards began to be looked down upon by the tribesmen, while the "strong" ones could only be reduced to thugs, and their status was slightly lower.

This is a good phenomenon.

After reading this chaotic and dark "Lizard Aboriginal Social Report", Yu Yifeng simply didn't know what to complain about. This group of originally innocent lizards were trained to become like this...

He didn't know what was right or wrong. However, the development of civilization is not necessarily smooth sailing, and will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed and twists and turns.

This group of lizards is pretty good.

Humanity has also gone through that stage...even full of killing!

Fortunately, everything has passed, and mankind is now in the stage of enjoying the fruits of victory...

In comparison, the current new humanity is much more civilized, orderly, and mature.

With the successful start of automated excavation work in the Arctic, the problem of internal resource poverty has been solved, social affluence has begun to slowly increase, and mankind has gradually entered an era of great affluence!

Yes, the era of great affluence has arrived so inadvertently. This is an undeniable fact.

Social productivity greatly exceeds material needs. The "new coins" circulating within the Noah society began to decrease significantly, and basically everything began to implement a free policy.

People on this planet almost have resources that can last tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and they no longer have to worry about living resources.

This difference is entirely determined by technology and productivity.

For mankind, the most important task now is to eliminate currency in order to achieve a higher level of social system! Human beings will no longer use material desires as the first driving force, but will use ideals and responsibilities as the driving force to move forward again.

Every member of society should be aware of this and try to work hard for it.

Everyone knows that the new human civilization is not strong enough yet.

For members of today's society, making more money no longer has much temptation. Because the current society is already very wealthy, many things are basically free and can be taken at will...

Moreover, after so many years of social experiments during the space wandering period, people have become more accustomed to this system of public ownership of the means of production.

Everyone's moral quality is not bad. Basically, people's lives are relatively frugal, and there is no large-scale extravagance and waste. Perhaps, there is still a kind of inertia constraining a poor life...

But now is also a very dangerous moment. Yu Yifeng doesn't know how long this inertia can be restrained. The new human civilization cannot be tired because of affluent life!

People must sublimate working because of "survival pressure" to working because of "ideal" and "responsibility"...

This is the most difficult step. If you don't go up, you will go down.

Yu Yifeng had to lament that the new human civilization was so lucky. At this moment, another good opportunity unexpectedly appeared: the emergence of the ruins of the Nyx civilization and the training and observation of the lizard people.

The appearance of these two things gave everyone a boost of energy and unparalleled work motivation!

Perhaps, their thinking has changed somewhat. Passionate work is something that everyone likes and is willing to work on.

This kind of working spirit has been maintained for a long time. It will gradually affect the next generation, gradually form a habit, and gradually become a normal state...

If the next generation will "establish ideals" as a new thinking mode, then... the probability of success will be greatly increased!
