Chapter 503: Expanding Ambitions, a "Chariot" That Cannot Be Stopped
Chapter 503: Inflated ambition, a "chariot" that cannot be stopped!
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
From the most basic physiological, safety, social, to advanced respect and self-realization.
People pursue these five things tirelessly throughout their lives and devote their lives to them.
Sumo originally thought that all the people in the depression had passed the most basic physiological threshold and were climbing to a higher level.
But when construction begins.
He found that he was wrong.
Physiological needs will never be satisfied, and this hurdle will never be overcome.
As long as we live, everyone will be horribly enthusiastic about this need!
Starting at one o'clock in the afternoon after sending off the tree people, when the villagers who had gone out to clean up the salt flats came back one after another, the five thousand square meters of land in front of Tieshi Mountain began to change rapidly.
In civilized times, it was very easy to build a sturdy house yourself.
Basically, use an efficient herbicide and clean it first to ensure that no plants will grow under the house and damage the foundation during the process.
Then, use a spirit level to copy the leveling line to ensure that the height of the land is consistent, and there will be no problem of high damage intensity on the left and low damage on the right.
After the land is leveled, concrete and masonry are put in, and the foundation underneath is piled.
Then slowly build the entire house from bottom to top.
This method saves time and effort. Even if you build a courtyard yourself, the cycle will not be too long.
It's a pity that in the apocalyptic wasteland, there is no limestone to be found, and even cement cannot be kneaded out, so everything can only be simplified.
But even so, with the help of the wisdom of their ancestors and the collective efforts of the villagers, they came up with many good solutions.
The first pass, which involved leveling the land and removing visible gravel and grass roots, took more than a thousand people just over an hour to complete.
For the second time, King Kong entered the field and used a rotary tiller to efficiently turn over all the land, exposing some of the gravel and plant roots underneath the land again.
This time, many fine grass roots and stones were brought out, and even if the rest were still lurking in the corner, they would not be able to make a difference.
And this third time, it was a gratifying "pressure"!
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a construction machinery roller.
Find a few large rocks, smash them open with a sophisticated stone pickaxe, and then slowly shape them into a flat cylinder.
Rely on the power of the earth tiger to pull the cylinder.
Although this method cannot reach the level brought by a real roller, it can be achieved when there has just been a heavy rain and the soil is soft.
But it has a miraculous effect, which can achieve about 60% of the effect!
After just a few rounds, the land began to level off, visible to the naked eye.
Standing on the high slope of the shelter, Soma felt this change even more strongly.
In the distance, there is a crooked and undulating water-filled ground.
Nearby, there is a smooth road exuding the fragrant earth scent.
Everywhere he looked, there were villagers walking bent over with smiles on their faces, stepping on the land with their own body weight!
From two o'clock to four o'clock, no one stopped for two hours.
But the amazing thing is that during the whole process, no one complained about being tired or suffering.
Everyone is very enthusiastic about the place where they settle down!
"Ha, virtual reality equipment is really a double-edged sword. If it is not used properly, the backlash it may cause will be difficult to recover for months or even years."
"But if used well, it can have miraculous effects like now!"
Lu Kuan, who was also standing on the high slope and controlling the robot, let out a long sigh.
The positive and negative use of virtual reality has exceeded the previous expectations of developers for the use of this device.
Externally, reality devices can deceive and then lead the other party to a dead end.
Internally, real-life equipment can simulate training and even simulate future scenarios to make people full of "desire."
In the virtual reality environment, everyone only lived in the simulated village chief for two hours, and such a huge change in enthusiasm occurred.
Work efficiency is directly improved.
I dare not think about what kind of surprising changes will happen when we innovate technology and reach new milestones in the future.
"No, Lu Kuan, the village is just a small part of the excitement. What will really bring about such a change?"
"That sense of accomplishment!"
Lu Kuan was stunned: "A sense of accomplishment?"
"Yes, look at how he has changed!"
Pointing to a villager who had previously played the role of one of the five star kings, Sumo felt a little emotional.
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
In the morning, Sumo was still worrying about how to quickly meet everyone's needs and improve work efficiency.
But in the afternoon, after letting these people "pretend" for a while, they succeeded by accident.
"His eyes seem to have changed a bit. If he was just trying to survive before, then now"
"He wants to become stronger?"
Somo nodded slightly: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After you "become" a strong man once, and then return to your original ordinary life, you will have a huge sense of separation."
"In the Earth China of our universe, there once was a program called Metamorphosis, which basically involved children from mountain villages exchanging lives with children from cities."
"As expected, the children in the mountain villages will also work hard and set goals after returning from the city, and the children in the city will also change their minds and change themselves after returning."
Lü Kuan was stunned: "That's great, they have all achieved their goals!"
"No!"
Su Mo shook his head regretfully, looking at the villagers who were trying to press the land from top to bottom.
"It was indeed like this at the beginning, but after a period of time, the children in the city will still return to their original state, and the children in the countryside will also recognize the reality and then quickly decadent."
"This breath has come up, and it can't be released. Once it is released, it will be ten times or a hundred times more exciting to raise it!"
"The depression in the past can really be said to stop. At that time, everyone had no ambition in their hearts and just wanted to live a stable life in this place."
"But now, the depression has truly become a chariot that can only move forward. Once it stops, you and I on this car may be able to save ourselves, but others"
Many ordinary people think they have no ambitions all their lives.
This is just limited by their platform and cognition.
Even ordinary rural children who participated in the Metamorphosis can burst out with the ambition to change themselves and become superior people after returning.
Not to mention, these "elites" who are considered to be in the upper middle level in human society.
The wasteland is not the old world controlled by capital and ordinary people can hardly climb up in their lifetime.
Here, the rules have changed drastically.
As long as you have enough "ambition", life can change.
"So is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"You confused me!"
Unlike Su Deben, as a shrewd person, Lu Kuan, as a scientific researcher, has dabbled in psychology, but when it comes to the application level, he still has some theoretical knowledge.
Seeing Su Mo shaking his head and sighing for a while, and then secretly clenching his fists to cheer up, he was a little stunned.
"It's a good thing, at least for now, as long as I, the person who controls the steering wheel, can still hold it firmly"
"Our development speed will increase five or ten times compared to before!"
With a touch of confidence in his eyes, Su Mo also smiled as he looked at Chen Shen who came up from the side with a smile on his face.
The history of several generations of China since ancient times has fully proved it.
To defend the world, it is necessary for subordinates to be law-abiding, restrain their desires, and look to the future.
But to conquer the world, it is necessary for everyone to be ambitious, brave and brave, and not to hesitate. Even if you know that there is an abyss ahead, you must move forward decisively.
Su Mo did not say anything about the upcoming zombie crisis.
But he believes that in three months, with the joint efforts of everyone in the depression, a steel fortress will rise from the ground!
By then, the battle for this new continent will be officially begun!
"Director, we have a great harvest today. Fan Ye and the others really gave too much. It is enough for us to free up half a month's rations."
"Oh? So much?"
On the way back, Su Mo had already made a preliminary explanation of the level of rice leaves in the car.
Ordinary crimson rice leaves cannot provide the trace elements required by organisms, and can only supply humans with light activities for two days.
According to the current activity volume in the depression, it would take at least 30,000 leaves to supply everyone for half a month.
There is a big difference between the two!
"Director, didn't you say that eating too much rice leaves is like eating potatoes, and people will become weak? How dare we eat this thing!"
"So I tried it, and I didn't expect that the big grain eaters in our territory could eat it, and there was no effect, and it tasted delicious!"
Pointed to the coolie lizards and sheep who were leisurely basking in the sun below.
Pointing to the yaks that were helping the villagers pull the cart, Chen Shen's face became more and more joyful.
"The lowest-grade crimson rice leaves, a total of 4,200 pieces."
"Light red rice leaves, 420 pieces."
"Dark yellow rice leaves, 80 pieces."
"And the highest-grade light yellow rice leaves, 10 pieces!"
"Among these, we keep the light yellow and dark yellow ones as backup, and give the low-value light red and dark red ones to the lizards. According to Polly, lizards don't care about any trace elements. They can survive for four or five years even if they eat stones. Eating this easily digestible energy substance is more nutritious than eating meat!"
The laboring lizards work hard and never complain.
Similarly, they eat a lot. In order to reproduce well in the future, each lizard is recently equipped with food according to the amount of food for eight people.
Based on the base number of thirty-six lizards, they have to eat the food of 288 people every day.
Over time, the monthly expenditure makes anyone feel distressed!
But now, three pieces of crimson rice leaves can supply a lizard's daily intake needs.
4200 pieces are enough to support 120 days.
With the addition of the light red rice leaves, this number of days can eventually last for five months.
And after five months, the second and even third batches of rice leaves in the depression will continue to make up for this gap, which can be said to be seamless!
"Very good, since there is no harm to lizards eating this kind of thing, and there are great benefits, let them eat as much as possible every day"
"As long as our next batch of rice leaves can be connected, perhaps the breeding plan can be launched!"
After calculating this account.
Su Mo also reacted immediately, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
For this best "carrier" that can hybridize different species and different attributes, if it were not for the food gap and scale limit in the territory.
As early as the day of acquisition, Su Mo would start to think of ways to improve and optimize the breeding.
But now, it is not too late, and there is enough time for everything.
"This tree man is really a treasure. Just come once and we can make a lot of money."
"Let's do it once and for all. Just wait until we visit, I will take people over to do another ticket and make a good fortune!"
As Marx said in "Capital", with appropriate profits, people will become bold.
With 50% profit, people dare to take risks; with 100% profit, people dare to trample on all human laws.
And with 300% profit, they dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged!
Nowadays, the benefits brought by tree people, let alone 300%, even 3000% can't be stopped!
With dozens of times the profit, even the calm Chen Shen's eyes turned red after saying this.
"This is too risky. What if we are caught? What if our virtual reality equipment is a scam next time?"
"No, we still have to do it."
Hearing Su Mo interrupting Lu Kuan's "cautious" speech, both of them raised their heads and looked into Su Mo's eyes.
Unfortunately, in Su Mo's eyes, they saw neither excitement nor enthusiasm in the face of high profits.
Some, just extremely calm.
Just like when he waved his hands and shouted to fire in front of the dog-headed man's castle.
After confirming it several times again, Chen Shen seemed to have some guesses in his heart, but he still shook his head unimaginably.
"Director, you are not..."
"That's right, when we go to their territory, I will follow you. If you want to maximize the benefits and ensure safety, you can't rely on you alone."
Wow!
The plain words, like thunder, instantly exploded in the hearts of the two.
Although Su Mo showed no trace of a gambler.
But just like the ancient emperor who wanted to become an assassin and personally enter the enemy camp, such an outrageous move instantly made the two people explode.
"Director, no, let's not talk about how big the risk is if you go, even if you leave the underground shelter, how can we develop!"
"Suma, the more critical the moment, the more you can't be impulsive. Think about it, our virtual reality equipment was so successful just now, and these tree people who went back will definitely become an important tool for us to open a breakthrough. At this time, even if you don't go, we have a great probability of success."
"On the contrary, if they notice and find out that you are in danger, the cost will be absolutely unbearable!"
Compared with Chen Shen, Lu Kuan said more realistically.
He has seen several generations of humans die in the wilderness, lose their bodies, and can only become brains lying in boxes.
He understands risk control better than anyone else.
In other words, in Lu Kuan's heart, even if the people in the depression are gone, as long as Su Mo is there, "hope" can still be gathered here.
But if Su Mo fails to operate properly, gets stuck or dies, then this huge depression will fall apart in a few days.
"Don't persuade me, I'm ready"
"Besides, this game restricts me and I can't go. If I want to go, I can only use"
He pointed to the data line that was derived from the robot's buttocks and connected to the brain box, and made a gesture of spreading out.
Chen Shen was still a little confused, but Lu Kuan reacted suddenly.
Subconsciously, he wanted to say directly that the difficulty of modifying consciousness uploading technology is no less than that of modifying virtual reality.
But suddenly, when he thought that Su Mo had completed gene extraction and adaptation in just ten minutes.
He was stunned.
