Chapter 2851 The Path of the Protagonist
Underground cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack, but pastures and farms on the surface are still easy to rob. Faced with the crisis, some farms began to use machinery to build high walls for defense.
Attack and defense, in the following time, the war around the fruits of development has never stopped, ranging from a dozen people to hundreds or thousands. Although the scale is not large, the impact is great.
However, it is good to fight. Only by fighting can there be progress in attack and defense, and progress in weapons. If there is no war, there will be no progress in weapons and equipment, and there will be no way to fight aliens in the future. Of course, the price of this kind of weapon progress is death.
Many people think that developing weapons is not a matter of course for a big country? Don't forget that there is a saying called militarism, which means that it is not good for a big country to prepare weapons without enemies. Obviously, for a big country that dominates alone, it is better to develop some people's livelihood than to develop weapons that are useless.
So if there is no war, the progress of weapons will stagnate, the army will slack off, and the combat effectiveness will decline.
"It's impossible to stop it anyway, so why not think positively, and we should also increase our efforts to improve our weapons and equipment." Xiao Wang also saw it clearly. In this world, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. There will be good and bad sides to an event, and the good and bad sides will trigger more sides, and finally form a complex world. All human behaviors can have supporting and opposing explanations. In the end, whether it is right or wrong depends on the result.
As for the result, the behavior that allows more people to join is definitely correct, because intolerance is equal to death. Any system that is closed is easy to die suddenly, and fresh blood must be injected to maintain vitality. Therefore, allowing more people to join can be regarded as the wisdom of survival, but whether all mankind can join in the end is a big question mark.
The era that is closest to including all mankind in the world is the escape era, but unfortunately it still failed in the end. In the wandering era, mankind has returned to a divided state again.
Xiao Wang worked hard, and other people's lives were not easy. For example, the family whose wife joined the return faction and became a slave before, although the husband was not turned against, it is not easy for a single father to raise his son now. Another example is Liu Qi. He became a slave. His sister was alone in the dungeon, which was really worrying. He didn't know how his sister was doing now. He didn't know if she was okay.
And Li Yiyi left the familiar programming industry and repeated the work every day. Although he was not exhausted, he was very bored. Without books and information, he felt that he was going to be useless. Although he thought his current job was necessary, he had enough of it after two years of work. He was very decadent and felt that his life was boring.
As ordinary people in the great era, they would be confused. They didn't know what they were doing and whether they could realize their own value. They were repeatedly crushed by the wheels of history. In fact, none of them did anything wrong, but life was not easy.
On the whole earth, Duran was the best, because he didn't have any goals. He was just like that chaotic clown, just using other people's plans and finding some fun for himself.
"People who set goals for themselves are as unreliable as the scumbag who promised to accompany you forever when they were in love." Duran said that there was no need for goals at all, just play freely.
Liu Qi had the goal of taking care of his sister, and he would feel meaningless if he couldn't achieve it. Li Yiyi has a goal to realize the value of life, and he will be very disappointed if he cannot achieve it. It is because of the goal that he fails.
Just like many scumbags will say that they will accompany each other forever, but in the end they will fail for various reasons.
There are four or five places in the "Book of Songs" that write about growing old together with you. One is a promise, and the others are all scumbags' words, and the result is that they all abandon their wives and children. So it is easy to set a goal, but it is really difficult to achieve it. When it cannot be achieved, people will feel uncomfortable all over, as if they were crushed.
So the Joker said that he does not set goals, but just uses other people's plans to spread chaos. Chaos is that a little fluctuation will cause the plan to go out of control. Once the plan goes out of control, the goal cannot be achieved.
Duran is actually the same, but Duran does not spread chaos. He is happy to watch everyone's struggles and efforts in the process of achieving their goals. Watch whether they give up their goals or continue to endure the pain of disconnection between body and mind in order to stick to their goals.
The goal in the heart is so clear, but the body cannot achieve it. It is trapped under objective laws, and the mind and body cannot be unified.
"It seems that few people can understand that when one's own goal cannot be achieved, one can lend one's strength to others to achieve the goal. This is also an option. Just like in many works of art, the protagonist is not the strongest or the smartest, and needs help from teammates every time, but the protagonist can propose a goal that everyone can accept, so the supporting characters lend their strength and wisdom to the protagonist to help the protagonist achieve the goal. The supporting characters realize their self-worth and gain spiritual sublimation in the protagonist's goal. When you find that your goal cannot be achieved, you should lend your strength to others, otherwise the scattered strength cannot achieve any goal." After watching so much, Duran found that everyone has their own goals, so everyone's strength is scattered. But the power of the times is not something that an individual can resist. If everyone complains about themselves, then their end is to be crushed by the times, and their body and mind will not be unified.
Then in order to fight against the times, gathering strength is the only option. It is better for everyone to choose a goal to achieve than not achieving any goal.
However, Duran also knows that there is a chain of suspicion between people and they cannot trust each other. Just like Wang Lun in "Water Margin" did not believe Lin Chong, Wang Lun was a weak chicken, he did not believe that Lin Chong, who was stronger than him, would really help him stabilize Liangshan. Therefore, it is not easy for the protagonist and the supporting role in the art work to trust each other and achieve the goal together. It also takes courage for the weak protagonist and the strong supporting role to make the protagonist believe that the supporting role is here to help, not to instigate his own ideals.
Unite to fight against the wheel of the times, and you can achieve a goal. But because of the existence of the chain of suspicion, even if someone understands this truth, everyone cannot unite to fight against the times.
"That's why it's interesting." Duran said it was really interesting, and he was looking forward to the combination of a weak protagonist and a strong supporting role in this era.
Obviously it is impossible to appear. Although it is a weak protagonist, it is not easy to be firm and unwavering, not afraid of hardships, and firm in your goals, even if you die, you will not waver. This is not a low requirement for the protagonist. The protagonist can be weak in fighting and not smart, but he must be determined in his goal and stick to it until death. Only in this way can the supporting characters around him follow him. Therefore, many protagonists are set to be stubborn, so that they are easy to be determined.
If the protagonist quits at the slightest disturbance, what is the point of the supporting characters following him?
So in the end, should we be crushed by the times and be sad and sorrowful by ourselves? Or should we unite and lend our strength to one person to achieve a goal? Obviously, the former is easier, as long as we resent the times. The latter requires giving up our own goals and then betting all our strength on others, which requires extraordinary courage.
