Chapter 2742 Slave City-State

From a historical perspective, humans have come step by step from tribalism, slavery, feudalism, etc., and their organizational strength has also been improved little by little. Although slavery seems cruel to later generations, it was actually a more advanced productive force at the time, enough to crush tribes.

For example, slaves in ancient Egypt created amazing pyramids, and before slavery, prisoners of war in tribal wars were mainly used for beheading sacrifices, and they were not considered human beings at all, but only livestock. Although slaves in the slave system are not complete people, at least they will not be chopped to death casually, but will work hard all their lives and then die. In the process, they can produce more resources and value and promote the progress of civilization.

Moreover, if they can survive, slaves will have the opportunity to wait for the change of the system and the opportunity to develop. If civilization wants to be passed on, it must include more and more people, not less and less.

It is wrong to stipulate that people whose parents must be Athenians, like Athens in ancient Greece, are Athenians. If they are so exclusive and unwilling to accept new people to join Athens, then they will definitely die.

In ancient Rome, it was stipulated that people with freedom were people, people with families were men, and people with the right to vote were citizens. By giving an upgrade condition, it was possible for more people to join the ancient Roman game.

So slavery was not the end, but a historical stage. No matter how it was criticized, slavery was more advanced than tribes at that time.

In the doomsday environment, everything has regressed, and people in slavery can also despise cannibalism. This kind of thing is indeed ridiculous for humans who have experienced the industrial age, but it is not ridiculous in the doomsday, because this is the fact.

Behemdorug, a slave system, is a place similar to the ancient Greek city-state. There are high priests, and tyrants or monarchs may develop in the future, and citizens will definitely be redefined afterwards. Slavery can only be maintained in the early stages of expansion, but if the expansion is not smooth, or in an era of accelerated expansion, a more advanced system will develop.

It can be said that such development is inevitable. First of all, tyrants and monarchs are likely to appear. The so-called tyrants and monarchs are actually people who rule the city-state. The difference is that the tyrants prioritize their own interests, while the monarchs prioritize the interests of all citizens. Just like the tyrants and wise rulers in ancient China, tyrants only consider their own interests, while wise rulers consider the interests of everyone.

Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Li Wang and You Wang were all opposed by the people below in order to expand their own interests.

In ancient Athens, in order to avoid the emergence of tyrants, a new concept was proposed, that is, the parliamentary system. Of course, it was mainly because Athens was suppressed by Sparta at that time and could not expand, and it was stipulated that the children of Athenians were Athenians, which led to the Athenians being able to divide the cake in a closed manner. The parliamentary system can exist for a long time.

Although ancient Rome also had a parliamentary system, it inevitably moved towards an imperial system in the end, because the territory was large and there were many things to do. If it was always a quibble, then ancient Rome would not be able to start a war. Of course, in order to avoid violent resistance, Octavian did not directly proclaim himself emperor, but called himself the "first citizen", that is, Augustus, that is, the emperor. But because he was the first citizen, he still met the regulations of the Senate, so Octavian did not follow in Caesar's footsteps and was not killed by the Senate.

Of course, because Caesar was stabbed to death, there is an extra Spear of Julius in EVA, which can be used together with the Spear of Longinus for fusion. It's just that Julius is the name of Caesar, the name of the deceased. And Longinus is the name of the murderer, who stabbed Jesus.

In short, the changes in the system are slow. No matter how backward a system is in the eyes of future generations, it must be in line with the situation at the time. For example, because ancient Athens could not expand or add fresh blood, the parliamentary system was suitable for a group of acquaintances to share the spoils. And because ancient Rome has been expanding, their system has been changing, from the beginning of the monarchy, to the Senate system, and then to the imperial system. Even the imperial system includes enfeoffment. So the system has developed step by step, and each system is the invention of people at that time.

Now it's the end of the world, Behemdorug is a slave city-state, a civilization, and an advanced one. The village where the protagonist's brother and sister live depends on their brother's arm to make a living. Except for eating and sleeping, although they are alive, they are like beasts, so they are barbarians and beasts in Behemdorug's eyes.

So it is natural to capture the barbarians and make them slaves. It is also inevitable to use slaves as firewood and develop Behemdorug.

And if the protagonist is not messing around, then Behemdorug will inevitably develop towards two results: one is extinction. The other is that the superpowers in the city will use more superpower slaves for more powerful power. As time goes by, the status of superpowers will continue to rise, and finally a new system with superpowers as the ruling class will be established. In the doomsday, the establishment of the system will be completed, the inheritance of civilization will be completed, and new development will be started.

In the comics of "Flame Fist", Behemdorug seems to be critical, because Behemdorug's religion is deceptive, the system is oppressive, and everything is so unreasonable. But whether it is reasonable or not also depends on the reference coordinates. If the doomsday is used as a reference, then everything in Behemdorug is simply too reasonable.

The cooling lasted for more than three hundred years. Almost all the intellectuals in this world had died. Those who survived were illiterate. Technology was also decreasing. Only a few technologies that were beneficial to rule had not disappeared. And there was no land, so resources could only be squeezed from superpowers. It can be said that Behemdorug's becoming a slave city-state is completely in line with the law of human development. Although it seems to be a regression, it is just like the ups and downs of mountains and rivers. After regressing to the trough, it will begin to climb. The slave system cannot be maintained forever, and it must evolve.

So when looking at history, don't think that the ancients were stupid. Why didn't they choose a better system? In fact, it's not that the ancients were stupid, but that was the most advanced choice at the time.

In short, in the doomsday, Behemdorug is synonymous with advancement, even if they have a religion full of lies and a cruel and inhumane slave system. But which religion doesn't lie, and which city doesn't exploit slaves? It can even be said why Behemdorug can think of deceiving and exploiting, but others can't? In fact, it's not that they can't think of it, but that they can't do it. Behemdorug did it, which represents advancement.

In the school's gymnasium, which was transformed into a prison, Jia Chi became more and more frightened as he asked questions. He found that these people really came from different worlds. They didn't know about neurons, apostles, or EVA. Although they knew about guns, cars, and some basic machinery, their understanding of science was very limited. Instead, they kept talking about the Ice Witch, the Blesser, and the Doomsday.

Although the language was the same and many answers could be asked, the more he asked, the more frightened he became. They belonged to a force similar to the ancient slave city-state. They were warriors of the city-state, and their job was to plunder. But they also said that the difficulty of plundering has become increasingly greater recently, and it seems that there are no survivors nearby. At the same time, they also told Jia Chi that their city-state has about 30,000 people, and they mainly rely on the resources generated by the Blesser to live, with electricity, doctors, and some machinery to maintain operation.

Electricity is also a superpower, but there are very few superpowers who can generate electricity. Repairing machines, such as metals for guns and cars, are also produced by superpowers, and they can produce liquid metals. Of course, gasoline and the like are also produced by superpowers, and they can produce gasoline.

According to these prisoners of war, the superpower slaves were tied to the platform, injected with nutrient solution, and then stimulated with pain to make them continuously release their superpowers and collect resources. Generally speaking, slaves would die in pain if they did not live past the age of thirty.

Jiachi knew that this city-state actually had the possibility of surviving the apocalypse. The only problem was whether it could continue to expand, but it was obviously unlikely to continue to expand. So the next step should be to increase the lifespan of slaves. If slaves can be increased from thirty to sixty years old, they can produce more things.

So it is time for this city-state to change. Jiachi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I could witness history again."
