Chapter 2167: Cultivators of different classes (1/2)
The empress’s shocking judgment made Li Yao stunned for a while before shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it can’t be so simple analogy. Even if the power of an ordinary person is very weak, it is... a'skinny monkey', but after all, the number of ordinary people is the largest. , Accumulate less and make more, don’t you have the greatest squeeze value?”
”That's true in theory, but you have overlooked one point. The so-called'squeezing' also has a cost.”
Li Linghai said, ”When the management cost greatly exceeds the value that can be squeezed out, this kind of squeeze is uneconomical. It is as if humans can indeed use many secret methods to transform the skinny monkeys into fierce and strong biochemical beasts. , But in fact, no mine or army will do this, and the cost is too uneconomical.”
Li Yaodao: ”Human beings are not monkeys after all. The gap between the so-called'primitives' and'real people' is even smaller than imagined. I know that the empire has countless extremely cruel secrets that turn humans into all kinds of deformed and ugly appearances. The purpose of removing human organs and replacing them with psychic prostheses is to transform ordinary people into a more suitable form for crushing. Does Her Royal Highness want to deny this?”
Li Linghai said lightly: ”Do you think this is the so-called'squeeze'?”
Li Yao said, ”Isn't it?”
Li Linghai said: ”Even if it is, it is for the good of these primitive people. You have to know that the empire's psionic puppet industry is already highly developed, and it is possible to refine various types of puppets that are not too expensive in large quantities. If the primitive people can't To catch up, do not turn themselves into various deformed and ugly forms that can work efficiently. They can only lose out in the cruel competition and fall to starvation-not only they will starve to death, but their family members are also Not immune.
”In the history of the empire, there is no shortage of such examples. Some mine owners have been soft-hearted and failed to strengthen and transform the primitive miners in the mines in time, making mining costs high, unable to adapt to fierce commercial competition, and eventually went bankrupt and went bankrupt as a whole. Annex.
”And after others have annexed such mines, they often transport large quantities of psionic puppets to replace human miners. Guess what will happen to these human miners who are replaced by machines?
”So, it is precisely for the survival of these lowest-level primitive people that the experts and scholars of the empire racked their brains to develop various human body strengthening and mechanical transformation technologies, so that the primitive people have the ability to compete with psionic puppets, and even possess The special abilities that psionic puppets don't possess are only able to keep most of the original people's jobs until today, so that they can survive.
”Many times, ethics and benevolence cannot solve any practical problems. Regardless of the actual situation, rashly raising the minimum wage and working environment will further deteriorate the living conditions of the lowest-level people-as simple as that. I don’t believe that you, as a god, would not understand it.”
”Of course I understand.”
Li Yao gritted his teeth, ”But this is not the reason why you can transform a living person into a steel spider. Everything has a degree. Imperial authorities like you are totally irresponsible and completely push the people at the bottom. The approach to cruel competition is too much!”
The queen’s eyes flashed, and she took a step back: ”Perhaps you are right. The empire does have a great responsibility to the people at the lowest level, but the premise is-first, there must be a strong central government that has the ability to directly control everybody. The policies of a large world, every resource planet, every family and sect are only good. If the government orders do not come out of the celestial pole star, it is useless to talk about the spirit and philosophy.
”All in all, this is not the focus of our discussion today. The point is that compared with the bottom-level cultivators, the primitive people are skinny monkeys. Those high-level cultivators, that is, the clans and powerful people, are not much interested in directly oppressing. The primitive man at the bottom.
”On the other hand, the real human empire has ruled the Star Sea for thousands of years. For thousands of years, the avenue of cultivating immortals has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
”Under this state of existence, the primitive people would not complain too much about their own destiny. Who would call them too weak? When they are used to their own weakness, they will not have too many extravagances. Most primitive people All confessed their fate.
”Mankind’s happiness often does not depend on material things, but on mentality. Believe it or not, many highly developed worlds in the empire have very mature and stable social operating rules. Sample surveys are conducted on the primitive people there. , Their happiness index is not low.
”Most primitive people think that life is like this, and they should be content. Compared with the tragic life of wandering and precarious life under the rule of the Covenant Alliance in the war era, the ancient repair era, the 30,000-year dark era under the rule of the monster tribe, Their current fate is much better-therefore, the Starlight Organization has been tossing for hundreds of years, and it has not caused too much trouble.
”Of course you can think that this is the result of the empire's long-term brainwashing. I don't want to argue with you, just tell you a fact.
”The fact is that the primitive people are not the most dissatisfied with the status quo in the empire and want to change their destiny the most. They are truly oppressed and most conscious of the fact that they are'oppressed'. They still have enough wisdom, The courage and even combat power to change the status quo is the middle and low-level cultivators, including the Qi refining period, the foundation period and even part of the pill formation period!
