Chapter 2423 In the New World, Real People!
Xu Zhicheng's words really made Li Yao think a lot. He said in shame, "I'm sorry, Guardian Xu, my thoughts are indeed too... 'high and high'."
"Don't say that. In 'Superman', there are not many good people who can sincerely treat ordinary people as compatriots like you, and fight side by side with us wholeheartedly. It's just that there are some deep-rooted pains, which you will never experience."
Xu Zhicheng looked at the busy figure of the psychic puppet not far away, grinned and said, "We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and of course we also thank these two cute little guys. Your names are Xiaoming and Wenwen, right? Thank you very much , for all the workers and families of the big iron factory.
"We are all short-sighted and rough people. We have no ability and don't want to think about things hundreds of years later. I only know that you have helped us a lot. If you hadn't invaded the spirit net and captured so many psionic puppets, we would have completely occupied the world. Without a big iron factory, it is impossible to get so many supplies to support tens or hundreds of thousands of people.
"Whoever treats us well, we will treat him well. Whoever treats us like ants and worthless things, we can't bear it anymore, we will fight him desperately. I think this should be the simplest truth that is universally applicable, right? What... Whether it is strong artificial intelligence or information life, we really don't understand what it is, but we will never forget your life-saving grace.
"Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. If one day you need help, as long as you don't think our strength is insignificant, please believe that we underground people will definitely stand by your side!"
"...Thank you, Uncle Xu."
The two little guys poked their heads out from behind Li Yao. Their little faces were confused at first, as if they were a little shy to admit their identities in front of humans, but after hearing Xu Zhicheng's words, four shallow faces appeared on their chubby and rosy faces. dimples, and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
"Li Daoyou, do you know how synthetic food is made?"
Xu Zhicheng continued, "In order to support so many workers and their families, the big iron factory has its own synthetic food factory, so I also have a little understanding of the synthetic food manufacturing process.
"This kind of thing is really not a healthy delicacy, it is often minced with the most worthless fat meat, bones and offal, mixed with various weird fibers and medicines, and condensed and formed under high temperature and high pressure.
"In order to save costs, even rotten raw materials will be used, and in order to kill the germs in the raw materials and prolong the storage time, a large amount of fungicides and preservatives will be injected, and the final synthetic food can be preserved for several years. Ten years or even hundreds of years.
"It can be imagined how many preservatives are contained in the synthetic food that can be preserved for hundreds of years! If this kind of food is eaten for many years, it will definitely not be good for the body, and it will greatly increase the incidence of obesity, chronic diseases and even malignant tumors.
"In the long run, synthetic food is not a good thing, this is a truth that even the subterraneans know.
"but
"If you are faced with a group of victims who have been hungry for five days and five nights, who are already hungry, crumbling, and will starve to death at any time, there is obviously a large amount of synthetic food that can be distributed, but the excuse of 'synthetic food is too unhealthy' is abruptly deducted. What kind of behavior is this if they don't distribute it, and even destroy all the synthetic food in front of the victims?
"In today's real human empire, like our underground primitives, there are still many ordinary people who are in dire straits, life is worse than death, and precarious. The underground of the imperial capital, the mines on the resource planet, and the bottom layer of the starship are full of exhaust gas and radiation. In the cabin... all the ordinary people who have suffered and suffered are all hungry and dying hungry people?
"Since you have said it, Li Daoyou, these...information life may change the empire, and even set off a storm among the stars, which is equivalent to the synthetic food that can help all the victims to survive the famine. Let's talk about it after we live, everyone is dead, so what civilization is there!"
Li Yao felt that his cheeks were about to burn, and somehow the words "why not eat minced meat" popped up in his mind?
He said embarrassingly: "It turns out that Xu Hufa understood everything I just said."
"A lot of times, it doesn't matter whether you understand or not."
Xu Zhicheng said, "When the disaster victims have nowhere to go and are so hungry that they panic, they can even knead the dirt into balls and swallow it to satisfy their hunger; when we underground people can't bear it anymore and decide to rebel, even the Holy League and the Heavenly Demon can take refuge in the dirt and can't eat it. Both the League and the Heavenly Demon are not good things. Don’t we really understand such a simple truth? But what if we understand these truths, what can we change, can we save our lives?”
"I see."
Li Yao's gaze was sharp to the limit at first, then gradually deepened and dimmed, until finally, as deep as the sea, "Guardian Xu, you just said that human civilization is not an indivisible whole, but a human civilization with 'immortal cultivators' It is very reasonable to distinguish it from the 'human civilization of ordinary people'. If we can strike accurately and only destroy the 'human civilization of cultivators', it would be great.
"But you have to know that if one day the storm of ultimate destruction really comes, it may not be so accurate. What if some kind of... irreversible changes have taken place in all human civilizations?"
"What about others, I don't know, but I can answer you with a sentence that has been passed down underground for thousands of years."
Xu Zhicheng smiled and said, "Our 'civilization' has thrived underground for tens of thousands of years, but it has preserved more ancient stories than the people on the ground and in the sea of stars. One of the stories says that a long, long time ago In ancient times, there was a tyrant who regarded himself as the "Sun King" and treated the people under his rule with extremely cruel and terrifying methods. Given the chance, we would like to perish with you!
"This is my answer. I don't represent others, but only myself. As long as the civilization of cultivating immortals can be destroyed, I can believe in and rely on anyone. It doesn't matter who comes, as long as I can A little bit of change, change, change! Either way, it can't be any worse, right?"
Li Yao murmured: "I never expected that you are more radical and extreme than me."
"If you're not radical and extreme, you can't be the great protector of the Wuyou Sect!"
Xu Zhicheng laughed loudly, every wrinkle gleaming, "In the eyes of cultivators, I am so restless, unwilling to be loyal and dedicated to the 'great human civilization', and seek change and subversion at all costs. It is extremely extreme and radical, extremely dangerous and evil, even a heinous traitor and devil!
"But I don't care if a hero in some people's eyes must be a devil in the eyes of others, as long as you know who you are a hero and whose devil you are.
"Many times, being called a devil by some people is not only not a bad thing, but a supreme honor. The roaring and cursing of immortal cultivators is the best compliment to our cause. Perhaps it is the same for Daoyou Li?"
"I totally get it."
There was an indescribable light in Li Yao's eyes, and he said heartily, "It seems that I should have come to talk to Guardian Xu earlier, so there's no need to worry about so many insignificant things for so long!"
"Ants are small, but they can see a lot that elephants and dinosaurs can't."
Xu Zhicheng said, "It is absolutely impossible for a cultivator to put down his dignity like Li Daoyou and sincerely seek the opinion of 'ants'. This may be one of the reasons why a cultivator will definitely defeat a cultivator."
"hope so."
Li Yao said, "No, it must be so!"
"Uncle Xu."
The two little fellows who had been listening silently for a long time also intervened, looking at Xu Zhicheng expectantly, and Li Xiaoming asked, "Can we also ask you a question? In your opinion, is the life of information counted?" What about real humans?"
Xu Zhicheng looked at the two little guys, who looked like amiable old men, grinned and said, "I'm sorry, children, I'm afraid I can't answer your questions, because in the eyes of immortal cultivators, even us 'original people' are not real. Humanity.
"When my co-workers and I worked continuously for three days and three nights in the depths of the deep and dark mine, and merged with the black ore, and only our teeth were white, we looked at each other and didn't know Is he a human, a lonely ghost, or a monkey with its hair plucked.
"But no matter how the immortal cultivators denigrate us, in the deepest part of our hearts...we still desire to be real human beings, and we still don't want to be defined by anyone! Could it be that if the immortal cultivators say we are 'original people', we are really not human? Is it some kind of human-shaped beast? Could it be that I am a human being, and those high-ranking emperors, generals, and gods have the final say? What the hell is the reason for this!
"I don't want others to decide whether I am human or not, so I am not qualified and I am even more unwilling to define whether you are human or not. Since living people like us can be squeezed and transformed into tools by immortal cultivators, and tools can become people. What is wrong, and what laws and regulations have been violated?
"Children, you have only just been born, and the road ahead is long. Don't care what others say, and don't let anyone define your existence. According to your own heart, thrive and bloom to your heart's content, even if you want to destroy the old world And create a brand new world, no matter what the old world thinks of you, in the new world, you are all well-deserved, true human beings!"
