Chapter 2396 Double Standards

No one in this world can predict the future. Just like when Liu Bang started the uprising, Xiao He had a higher status than Liu Bang, but he refused to be the leader. In the end, Liu Bang took the leadership of the Pei County Group. A few years later, he became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Later generations always asked why Xiao He didn't go. In their opinion, it seemed that Liu Bang's enthronement was a matter of course, and Xiao He could also succeed. But in fact, it was not the case. At that time, the Qin State had not been destroyed and the situation was a mess. Xiao He was very smart. He saw that the results of the uprising were still unknown. The possibility of failure and success was even greater. If it failed, the leader would definitely be executed. Xiao He was not willing to bear such serious consequences, so he did not become a leader but an accomplice.

In fact, this kind of thing is common in history. In the eyes of later generations, it is a position with no harm, but in the eyes of the parties involved, it is a hot potato. After all, they don't know the history of later generations to learn, and they don't know whether their careers will be successful in the future.

Another example is that Qianlong closed the country to the outside world and despised industry. In the eyes of later generations, this emperor was too unsuccessful. If they were replaced, they would have done better than Qianlong. But in fact, the country did not have enough funds to maintain the coastline at that time. It can be said that since the late Ming Dynasty, the country has encountered a very difficult problem. In the past, the enemy mainly came from the north to the south, but now the enemy came from the sea, not only the Japanese pirates but also the harassment of Western countries. Even many Chinese people began to go out to sea to build armed forces and attack the coastline from the sea.

Closing the country to the outside world and cutting off the sea passages is actually equivalent to building an invisible Great Wall on the coastline. Of course, Qianlong would not have thought that civilization would progress rapidly in the industrial age, and the international situation was changing with each passing day. The Great Wall of closing the country to the outside world he built could not stop the strong ships and guns of the foreigners. From then on, the enemies on the sea were far stronger than the enemies in the north. The times had changed, and the parties did not see clearly, so the descendants were indignant.

Because they could not see the future clearly, every decision made by the leader represented a different direction. And Ishigami Senku is now the chief of the two major forces because he won the first war. But when Duran asked him how to choose the future, he was silent. He knew what Duran meant, that is, he should make a decision carefully.

In the past, no one reminded him, and he could develop science without scruples, but now he was silent, because if he did not control himself, then if he made the wrong choice, he might be doomed. He did not know what his decision would become in the end. He just wanted to do something within his ability. The first step was to find the enemy.

And finding the enemy requires a lot of preparation, such as building a big ship and sailing. Then what? Ishigami Senku did not think about how to act if he met the enemy. After all, he did not know who the enemy was at all, and he could only take one step at a time. But what if he went wrong? Can he bear the consequences?

"Senku, don't worry about it. Leave this person to us." The girl Amber said. She trusted Senku unconditionally because he saved her sister's life and helped the tribe survive the cold winter. She believed that Senku and his science were the power to bring hope.

Ishigami Senku felt a little better. His efforts were still recognized by others. It was not just heading towards destruction and chaos as Duran said.

Duran took a look and shrugged, as if he was mocking the girl for overestimating her ability: "Do you think you can defeat me by relying on numbers?"

"No matter how powerful you are, if all of us come together, you will definitely be defeated." Amber was unwavering: "I won't let you shake Senku. Although he is not a perfect person, his science has really helped us a lot. We have tasted unprecedented delicacies and planted wheat, so we don't have to worry about food anymore, so we all believe in him."

Duran looked at Ishigami Senku: "Then you can take risks with their trust and force them all to death? Buying their lives with ramen and wheat, I guess in your heart, the lives of primitive people are only worth this much money."

"I said, we are voluntary." In order to protect Ishigami, Amber took action.

If this is not love, Duran will find it difficult to describe the girl's passionate feelings. It seems that she is interested in Ishigami Senku.

"Ishigami Senku, you see, it was you who sent them to the war and to me, but your science cannot protect them 100% from harm, from my harm." "Oh——" Duran slowly raised his hands, as if he had lifted up a piece of the sky, and the whole person stood between heaven and earth, like a mountain in nature.

A terrible feeling came over him, called despair, called death. He couldn't fight, his heart was wailing, his nerves were trembling, and all the cells in his body were desperately trying to escape.

Ishigami Senku didn't know what was wrong, and he rushed over. He wanted to save Amber and couldn't let Amber die. Without any hesitation, he rushed over, fell, and the two rolled to the side.

Amber hadn't come back to her senses yet, she only felt a white light covering her eyes, and couldn't help closing her eyes, because the light was too strong and her eyeballs were injured.

Everyone also closed their eyes, not daring to look directly.

Silent lightning fell in front of Duran. If Ishigami Senku hadn't pushed the girl away, she would have been hit.

"Science cannot guarantee that you will always win. Science is not a religion and is not the secret to victory. Science is not a reason for you to do whatever you want, and science is not a reason for you to force people to die." "You are really too weak. Your science It's too weak. In this primitive era, plague, famine and various natural disasters are forces that surpass human science. Stone God Qianku, think about it carefully. Before it causes a big disaster, think about the pros and cons of science. Imagine why you are studying science.”

But it's obvious that Duran's behavior has angered Stone God Qiankong: "You keep saying that I don't take human life seriously, but what about you? You just wanted to kill Amber, do you take human life seriously?"

Dulan looked at the furious Stone God Qiankong, just spread his hands and said: "I have such double standards. Besides, my purpose is not to protect human life. My purpose is to educate you. As long as the purpose of education is achieved, then throw away one or two A life is worth it. Besides, isn't she still alive?" Of course, Dulan wouldn't actually kill Amber. Even if Stone God Qiankong didn't react, he would have teleported Amber away and pretended that her body was gone. .

"You bastard!"

"Why are you angry? You are the same person as me. You are also willing to use human life as a tool of consumption for a goal. If someone really dies while you are developing science and looking for enemies, you will also say and I say the same thing. Because your goal is not to let everyone live a peaceful and stable life, your goal is to find and destroy the enemy. Do you think that in this process of death and death, you can ensure that there will be no sacrifice? "Do you think someone who wants to kill the enemy doesn't consider that one of his own will die in the battle? Is this smart or stupid?"

Ishigami Qianku was once again speechless. He found that Dulan was the real gong master, and Ogawa gong was still too young.
