Overturned Tower

It is completely different from the style and sin of Shenzhi Heavy Industry.

If the original sin of Theosophy is greed, then Thoth's psychic power is arrogance—

Not only is the triple sun disk used to divide people into four distinct power classes... It can be seen from the situation of Ringo's endorsement that Thoth's spiritual energy doesn't care so much about human rights.

The other psykers of Sky Island are either criminals, heroes, or white gloves of the Executive Department. But in any case, the status is at least not low.

However, on Sun Island and the sky island governed by Thoth, who is most familiar with psykers, psykers have become consumable tools after their mysterious aura has faded.

Those "battle suits" require various permanent modifications before they can be worn. And after the company closed down and the project was aborted, those psykers who had undergone in-depth transformation and could not adapt to other new battle suits could only be forced to lose their jobs. Even when the plan is going on normally, if the version of the suit is updated, it will make many previous modifications meaningless, and even weaken the performance.

Not to mention, there are also experimental-level battle suits that are tentatively developed—this kind of battle suits are usually only used by the experimental subjects themselves. Maybe after assembling and obtaining data, it will be eliminated and a more optimized new product will be released after just a few days. However, after the technical support and version update and maintenance of the old suits are cut off, it may even be difficult to obtain repair parts.

Ringo and the others, as a salesman, a live advertisement, a test product, and an endorsement model, certainly cannot accept personal transformation as they wish. In that case, it will undoubtedly weaken the expressiveness of one's own products, and may even be sucked away by the other company. Even as a consumer, the cost-effectiveness of mixing different modifications is the highest, but Ringo can't do this—that is undoubtedly a breach of contract.

And after graduation, how long this suit can be used before it becomes obsolete, or how long the old modification will be invalidated after the version is updated... These have nothing to do with whether you work hard or not. Because there are too many psykers, they are just consumables.

If it is for the sake of truth, for optimization, and for performance, scholars can let the renewable resources of "human beings" be consumed without hesitation.

In the face of the greater truth, the life and death of a mere individual need not be cared about.

And based on this idea, other evils will also be born.

For example, what Ringo told Russell now is the open secret of Sun Island—the so-called "population optimization" theory.

Sun Island is an "optimization" society that completely cuts off clans, clans, and relatives.

In Russell's understanding, it is a social Darwinian concept with wisdom, scholarship and research as its sole core. The "physical class" of the triple disc is to continuously eliminate the degraded superiors, collect the "benign mutants" born in the inferiors, and put them into the first disc for breeding. The entire triple disk is like a set of giant petri dishes.

Although wisdom cannot be completely inherited through blood, and there is a very small probability that parents with the same spiritual relatives will be born with completely different spiritual relatives, but whether it is intelligence, talent or spiritual adaptability, it is obviously related to genes to some extent.

Therefore, Sun Island has a special kind of underground transaction... that is, borrowing seeds.

The sperm of some scholars, sages, and doctors, as well as high-quality sperm bought from other sky islands and smuggled in refrigerated transportation, were sold at high prices on the black market of the second and third discs. Many families will use artificial insemination on the black market to try to create smart children with a higher probability to change the fate of their parents.

It's like if you can't get the goods by drawing a card yourself, you just buy an initial number...

Likewise, there is another, deeper sin based on this situation.

— That's population trading.

Whether it's male or female, whether it's from the local island or an outside island... the mercenaries on Sun Island will hunt for highly educated talents with a doctorate or above. They capture doctors, not necessarily to kidnap them to obtain money or technology... Even if doctors serve them, they may not be able to research anything of value. Or, they simply don't have the resources to support the research that will lead to the reports.

It's like stealing expensive mobile phones and computers, removing the CPU from them and extracting traces of gold-this is a business without any cost performance at all. These mercenaries hunt doctors in order to smuggle them to the second or third disk to sell their offspring. It's like matching a horse with a breed. If you don't get pregnant, you don't even need to charge money. From this point of view, most of the captured ones are male doctors... because the breeding efficiency will be higher.

"In addition, Sun Island also has a business called 'Replacement'..."

After being coaxed by Russell, Ringo sat on the edge of the bed with him.

The girl propped herself on the edge of the bed with her hands between her legs. And the upper body leaned forward at a dangerous angle, as if it was about to fall down at any time.

"I'm a replacement."

"What's a replacement?" Russell asked.

"I told you before... the doctors of the first disk will be sent to the second disk for unified care after giving birth. And those who can be selected from the third disk are the most outstanding geniuses They can stand out in the educational environment of the third round, and it is usually easier to show their excellence in the second round.

"...So, there will be some 'doctors'. Because their children's academic performance is not good and they are disappointed, they will use the chip replacement technology of the company to exchange their chips, To exchange social identities. That is to say, to secretly replace my stupid child with a smarter child in the early childhood stage, so as to ensure that the child can enter the first disc.

"In addition to doctors, there are also big businessmen who do business in the second disc... They will also directly buy a smart child to exchange identities with the child they gave birth to."

"But you have also completed your studies at Nephthys University."

Russell's voice became lighter: "You are not bad."

Ringo suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, I'm not bad..."

She murmured in a low voice: "But I have tried my best."

There was a touch of sadness on the raised little face, but there were no tears in her eyes.

"From that exchange to the time when I entered university, they would still send me some money and living expenses on a regular basis. I didn't think much of it at the time, that is, I had an older sister who was much smarter than me. But in the final exam of my freshman year, I got twelfth in a class. I didn’t even get in the top ten.

"Since then, I haven't seen them again...the tuition fee is gone~www.readwn.com~ Ringo smiled wryly.

Her voice was low, as if she was drunk, and she seemed to be whispering: "I was relying on participating in the experiment to get tuition. Because I was still holding my breath... thinking, how could they look down on me so much? I It's just that I didn't study hard. If I get serious, I can still rush to the front row.

"I must be admitted to graduate school and PhD. Not to impress them, but to let them know what they gave up."

For the first time, Ringo's voice became so calm.

It's neither as cute and mellow as usual, nor as soft and greasy as before.

Instead, it becomes low-pitched and ordinary, with a hint of intellectuality - if you use a metaphor, it will remind people of the voice of a young teacher who has just graduated and came to teach a junior high school.

This should be her original voice. This cold tone was her normal tone of voice.
