Chapter 3907: Wishful Thinking

Society is sick, and resources are needed to cure it. Resources are in the hands of the princes, and there is a chain of suspicion between the princes. Therefore, the princes must control resources to ensure that they are not swallowed up.

This is a very simple truth. Children know to hold on to their resources when playing games, because if they let go, they will lose the game.

In addition to the suspicion between the princes, there are internal conflicts. If the princes cannot control resources, the people below will overthrow the superiors.

The Three Families Divided Jin and Tian Qi Replaced Jiang are both like this. The Three Families Divided Jin was because after urbanization, the monarch could not control the new city. Tian Qi replaced Jiang because the monarch handed over the management of the hundred craftsmen to his subordinates, and as a result, the subordinates made money through the industrial chain and replaced the monarch.

The two uncontrollable things also led to two results, one is division and the other is replacement. But no matter what, there are contradictions within the princes, so they need to control resources.

Control the resources in your own city and control the resources in your own hands, otherwise you will be killed by other princes or by your subordinates.

This is a very realistic problem. It is not a matter of whether it will happen, but it will definitely happen. It will not change because of the development of technology.

The island country had industrial advantages before and could make money, but as costs increased, the ability to innovate and try and fail disappeared. The industry could only rely on fraud to maintain, and it was difficult to make a real breakthrough. It was stagnant and was caught up by latecomers.

New technologies have been developing. Although the patent of neural chips can last for a long time, the production methods of neural chips are changing. The products produced by the new manufacturing methods can be renamed as "smart chips" to avoid the patent of neural chips. Even if the two are the same thing, they are just made in different ways.

It's like wontons and dumplings. They are both thin-skinned and meaty, but the methods are different. Even if they are both boiled in water and eaten, the names are different. You can't say that wontons are dumplings, and you can't say that dumplings are wontons.

Therefore, the patent of neural chips can't stop others from taking detours. In the future, neural chips may become the wrong technology tree again.

The industrial advantages of island countries are getting smaller and smaller, and resources are getting fewer and fewer. Naturally, they have to be controlled more, and the internal conflicts are more intense, and the crime rate is higher.

The busier the 9th lesson is, the more chaotic the country is. The more chaotic the country is, the busier the 9th lesson is. It's a vicious cycle.

But it is very difficult to unite the princes. Most of them would rather die than their friends. If their friends die, their own space will become larger.

This kind of thing is very realistic.

How can the princes unite?

Togusa doesn't know, Bart doesn't know, and Suzi doesn't know. Of course, they can also understand the history of foreign countries, but they still have to be suitable for the island country.

There is no way to deal with it in a short time, so we can only continue to handle the case.

"Another cyber psychopath has appeared. Let's go." Let's go to catch the cyber psychopath.

"It's smuggling dangerous parts again. We should crack down on smugglers instead of simply arresting cyber psychopaths." Bart said.

"If there are clues, we will definitely catch them. Unfortunately, smugglers are all working together inside and outside, so it's not easy to catch them." Togusa said.

Duran knew that the island country was actually in a state of isolation and began to compete for the right to foreign trade. This kind of thing is also normal. When the strength is not strong, it needs to be controlled.

The East Tianzhu Company of the sun never sets and the Thirteen Factories of the Qing Dynasty are actually for the purpose of controlling trade. They are all designated merchants to do business, not to do no business.

Those who are not selected will definitely be unhappy, so they have to smuggle and become pirates.

Technology has developed, but the situation is still the same. Lesson 9 dealt with another cyberpsychopath who was in armed resistance and killed him directly. Cyberpsychosis is an incurable disease.

In the future, there will be inhibitors to suppress the onset of cyberpsychosis, but inhibitors have not been invented yet.

With the exploration of the soul, everyone discovered that neural chips can cause some strange phenomena, such as time acceleration.

In the laboratory, everyone found that when electricity was supplied to the neural chip, the neural chip became active instantly, the reaction speed became very fast, and time was directly accelerated.

Yes, time was directly accelerated. However, a lot of electricity is required, and current batteries cannot support it.

It still takes a long time to go from the laboratory to practice, but after observing the phenomenon in the laboratory, there is a direction for the next step. If a group of accelerated soldiers are added to the army, wouldn’t it be possible to defeat the strong enemy in minutes?

Now is a time of great contention, and new discoveries give priority to military use.

"It seems that Cyberpunk 2077 is getting closer and closer." Duran knew that when these new technologies were developed, more people would flock to it.

"This new technology can turn a person into a special forces unit. Kusanagi Motoko can barely fight a military chariot now, but now she has the ability to accelerate, so she can easily fight a chariot, and can even fight a hundred people alone. The strongest computing power, combined with the strongest body, is invincible."

Technology is still progressing steadily. The competition between the princes is fierce. To protect the resources in their hands, force is indispensable. So after they controlled the resources, they did not solve social problems, but invested in the construction of the army. If the people want a good life, they will join the army.

How does a prince control power? There must be a group of subordinates to do things for him. There are generally two ways to control the army and put all the resources in the army. One is to develop cities, control the residents in the city, and further control the surrounding territories.

For example, Louis XIV chose the latter. Of course, Louis XVI was beheaded later. Then there was tyranny and fighting among the city residents. Finally, Napoleon came, killed a king, and ushered in an emperor.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Because the city residents could not reach a cooperation, they finally relied on the army to expand outward, and everyone settled down. As a result, France was called the old district of reform. In fact, it was because Louis XIV used resources to carry out large urbanization and let the city residents protect themselves. Unfortunately, when resources were reduced, Louis XVI was directly beheaded. It can be said that the city routine is deep.

It is more common to tilt resources to the army. Napoleon was like this, and many military governments were like this. As a prince, he needs people to help him do things. His resources are also limited. He cannot mobilize everyone. Choosing the army is definitely not the worst choice.

Of course, some princes have no power themselves, they are just mascots, and the work is still discussed and completed among the forces under them. Just be a good mascot yourself.

In short, the princes can only maintain their dominant position by controlling resources, and the purpose of the existence of these princes is not to solve social problems.

It is wishful thinking for Tuo Gusa to want the princes to solve social problems. The goal of the princes is to maintain themselves, and the goal of the forces under the princes is to live a good life, eating, drinking and having fun.

Solving social problems has never been their responsibility.

It is only when Dayu controlled the flood that he could truly solve the problem as the goal of uniting the tribes, so that people in later generations would think that solving social problems is the responsibility of the princes.

But in fact, Noah's Ark is the norm. Their mission has never been to keep everyone alive, but to keep themselves alive. It has never been about solving problems, but rather dying for friends rather than for the poor.

"From a historical perspective, every civilization has had a confrontation between the king and the princes. In the early days of civilization, there were too many kings who died, either struck by lightning or taken away by gods. In short, there are similar legends of kings disappearing all over the world. In fact, it was a struggle between the king and the princes, and the king failed. Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Egypt, ancient India, the Mesopotamian Basin, and Todai all have similar legends. It can be seen that since ancient times, the relationship between the king and the princes has been very tense. But in the end, the only king who succeeded in solving problems was Dayu."

Solving problems has never been the job of kings and princes. It's just that Todai has formed a social consensus in its long development, requiring kings and princes to emulate Dayu and the sages.

But for island countries, there is no such consensus. Even if some people think so, another part of the people will not accept it. It is not a consensus of all people.

Of course, as a country in East Asia, the Confucian cultural circle still has these needs to some extent. For example, Togusa believes that kings and princes should solve problems, which is a typical Eastern thinking.
