Chapter 3912 Funding

Many people are willing to deal with Duran because Duran is from Dongda. In the past thousand years, Dongda has been the traditional target of the island country to transfer internal contradictions. Whether it is trade or expansion, it is the best choice. As for the United States, although it is a new target, it is too far away. It can be traded, but it is not conducive to expansion.

The landlords of the island country have no consensus except trade and expansion, and even religion is worshipped by each.

The reason is very simple. For example, if you want to build a road, should everyone pay together or those who use it pay?

If everyone pays together, some people will say that the road is built in someone else's house, and I have to go around a long way to use it, which is not cost-effective at all. I don't use it, so I won't pay if I don't use it.

If it is said that whoever uses it pays, some people will say that the road is built for the good of everyone. Everyone uses it together. Who can guarantee that they will not use this road in their lifetime?

So who pays?

Then we need to find experts to debate. Where can we find experts? Research laboratories and universities are the places where experts are most concentrated. Experts can find a thousand reasons to support "everyone pays together" and a thousand reasons to support "whoever uses it pays".

Anyway, experts also have positions. Science has no position, but scientists do. Scientists will choose one to support because of their positions.

In fact, both statements make sense. It's not just about building roads, but also building ports, water conservancy projects, afforestation, etc. Some people benefit and some people pay, so they have to make trouble.

Once there is a quarrel, everyone has to hinder each other. Dongda had "Salt and Iron Theory" in the Western Han Dynasty, which was actually discussing whether "everyone pays together" or "whoever uses it pays".

This is the case with universities in island countries, and experts are also divided into different camps. Before, there was income from trade with the United States, so it maintained a stability similar to the shogunate era. But with the weakening of the United States and the decline in trade income, it is necessary to find a new way out, either to expand or to change a trading partner.

The internal struggle is very fierce.

Duran investigated illegal drugs at the university and found that many students were using "Blood Addiction". This drug was indeed produced by Professor Watanabe's laboratory. He found traces when he visited.

But who produced it specifically needs to be investigated. The laboratory has surveillance. As long as you can see the surveillance, you should be able to find clues.

The spread of "Blood Addiction" also shows that the pressure on students in the island country is not small.

Students are also very anxious. They don't know how to choose, whether to continue to be pro-Western or return to the right track of history.

After the Tang Dynasty, the island country learned the Central Plains system and began to expand against the Ainu people. After the expansion, there was internal fighting, and then trade with the Song Dynasty. This was the case in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a new choice. Technology was purchased from the West, and then the Meiji Restoration and external expansion. External expansion failed, and trade was maintained with the United States.

Since conquering the Ainu people, the island country has been trading and expanding. If expansion fails, continue to trade...

As for internal affairs, it is enough to not starve to death. The best state of the people is to not be full and not starve to death, and have no ability to challenge the landlords. In modern times, it is enough to have electricity, water power and other resources to not starve to death.

What should college students choose? If you make the wrong choice, it will be embarrassing. You may be sentenced to death as soon as you graduate, and have no future in your life.

But no matter what you choose, there will be people who support and those who oppose.

"The rise of the East and the decline of the West are inevitable. We should choose Dongda."

"Dongda is no longer the Dongda of the past. There is no China after Yashan. Now we are the orthodox Central Plains. The best Dongda culture is here. We don't need to choose Dongda anymore. We should continue to choose to leave Asia and join Europe to spread orthodox Eastern culture."

"But Dongda is getting stronger and stronger."

"The West is just as strong. As long as the Western countries unite, they can flatten Dongda."

"That also needs to unite. Flattening Dongda is your idea, not theirs. Why should they use their own power to satisfy your wishes? Going to war with Dongda will cause them great losses. No one will do this if they contribute manpower and effort, and others will reap the benefits in the end. Dongda is the country with the highest degree of integration, and tribute trade is even more mature. It is very necessary to trade with Dongda."

"You are denying the independence of the island country, you traitor." If the debate is not good for you, you will put a hat on your opponent. In this way, no matter how reasonable the opponent's words are, they are just the devil's whispers, which cannot be listened to or believed.

"You are making a fuss. In the past year, we were close neighbors with Dongda and were friendly neighbors."

"Get lost, you traitor, you are not worthy of the plot!"

The internal struggle is very fierce, because once the result is out, some people will be demoted and some will be promoted, and no one wants to be demoted.

Duran thought that even in the cyberpunk world, people's hearts are still the same, and the development of technology does not mean that people have become more generous. When it comes to paying money and labor, do you still have to ask "everyone pays together" or "whoever uses it pays"? Artificial intelligence cannot answer it, because everyone can have their own position in this discussion.

Some people support "everyone pays together", and some people support "whoever uses it pays".

The pressure is too great. If you make the wrong choice, your life will be over. You can only use "blood addiction" to give your neural chip a rest. Although this kind of rest may cause permanent brain damage, it doesn't matter. If you don't rest, you will be depressed.

If you make the wrong choice, it will be a lifelong thing, and no one dares to bet easily. Of course, there are many people who have already bet.

In addition to the shift in trade, there is also the confrontation between traditional power generation and new energy power generation, as well as the discussion on electricity storage and electricity waste.

When generating electricity, not all electricity will be used up, and some electricity will be wasted. Therefore, electricity can be stored. When electricity is abundant, electricity can be stored as internal energy and potential energy, and electricity can be generated to supplement it when electricity is tight.

For example, some high mountain reservoirs will pump water to the top of the mountain at night when the electricity price is low. When the electricity price is high during the day, water is released to generate electricity.

At night, everyone sleeps, electricity consumption is reduced, and the extra electricity is wasted. At this time, water can be pumped and stored. During the day, everyone starts to use electricity and then generate electricity. This is a potential energy battery.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, look!

Of course, there is also compressed air, which uses an air compressor to compress air and store it in underground cavities. When needed, it is released to generate electricity. This is an internal energy battery.

In short, electricity also needs to be regulated. So should it be regulated? Or just waste it?

For power plants, it would rather waste than regulate, because waste will result in high electricity prices. It's like a farmer pouring out milk.

Some people ask, why not send it? It can be delivered. The farmer must have delivered a lot to the neighbors, but it can't be delivered to places farther away. You can't pay for the transportation and deliver milk to everyone, right? Impossible, there is no such ability.

Someone asked again, why not advertise and let everyone come to the farm to get free milk? Then all kinds of people come, who will receive them, who will mediate conflicts, who will be responsible for public security if someone steals, and who will compensate for losses?

So it can be delivered, but it can only be delivered to the surrounding neighbors. If it is farther away, it can't be delivered, it's better to dump it. It can also reduce losses.

The same is true for electricity. To store electricity, you need to build reservoirs and air compression plants. This is not a joke. Who will pay for it? So I would rather waste it, anyway, the electricity price will increase.

Experts also discuss based on their own positions. As for how to decide their own positions, it still depends on how much money others give.

Experts' professional knowledge is definitely no problem, but their positions are not necessarily no problem.

Dr. Watanabe is an authority in the field of microorganisms. He supports the modification of human genes and hopes that everyone will contribute money to research genetic breakthroughs. He also requires cyborgs to contribute money.

Cyborgs are all mechanical parts, and there is no need for genetic modification. Why should we contribute money? If genetic modification really creates new humans, wouldn’t that create competitors for cyborgs? Whoever wants a genetic breakthrough should contribute money.

Cyborgs pay money to find competitors for themselves? What a joke.

Natural people will definitely support Dr. Watanabe and believe that everyone should contribute money to research genetic breakthroughs. This is for the continuation of the genes of all mankind and for the future of all mankind. Cyborgs are human beings and should also contribute money and effort.
