Chapter 585 Tao
"This is really the paradise where I'm waiting to die." At the end of the flirting, Lin Yuedong stretched out comfortably.
"You don't have to go to work, you have a doghouse that you don't have to clean, you don't have any bastard relatives urging you to get married, and you can even only eat one meal a day..."
Thanks to the rapid development of virtual reality technology, a considerable part of the work can be completed in the virtual office, and many people do not need to go to the traditional office area to work at all.
With the help of the system network link, as soon as you close your eyes, you can enter the virtual office and meet your coworkers, and most daily tasks can be completed in the virtual world.
Ubiquitous, radically modified microorganisms serve as energy vehicles for similarly modified humans.
The energy in sunlight is stored by microorganisms, enters their bodies through breathing, and then diffuses the energy throughout the body in a special resonance method, directly synthesizing adenosine triphosphate for use by the body.
It skips the process of photosynthetic reaction of plants to generate organic matter, which is then digested and absorbed by the human body, greatly reducing the loss of energy middlemen.
Of course, this can only make people feel less hungry. In fact, they still lack ingredients such as protein and inorganic salts, which need to be supplemented by eating. However, it has also saved more than 60% of food consumption for the entire society.
…
"If you don't want to make progress, this is indeed paradise." Lin Yuedong's "sister" complained, "You are raised like a pig."
"I don't even have a few ounces of meat after you kill them, so what's there to feed them?"
"Why on earth can we have such a good life?" The boy, who had been eating all day long, was possessed by a philosopher again and thought about this serious question.
He also often wonders that the welfare of this country is really too good. Compared with the worry-free life in this life, the upper limit of personal property and the confiscation of all the inheritance after death are too illusory.
In a rationing society, production of most luxury goods has stopped, making it impossible to spend money. As a self-proclaimed homebody, he never thought about the next generation, let alone his legacy.
“Back then, those rich people had so much money, and what they really consumed in a year was just that much, which they couldn’t spend in ten lifetimes.
The rest are investing and making money, but they keep making money until they die. Apart from making the numbers bigger, what does it mean to their lives?
In the end, does money force everyone who claims to have it to work all their lives for the increase of the money in their hands, or does it mean that people actively strive to make money all their lives? "
Lin Yuedong had lived in the land of white when he was a student and had almost no experience of the previous era when everything was dominated by the power of capital. His entire values are biased towards the new society.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand why there were people who could do anything for money more than ten or twenty years ago, when he was still a real boy.
…
"Have you ever heard of the Holy Spirit Sect?" After hearing Lin Yuedong's doubts, Nilu asked after being silent for a long time.
"I seem to have seen it on the Internet advocating the theory of oneness of all things, and that everyone is a part of the divine body. It was preached and spread on the Internet before, and I'm surprised that the system didn't ban this thing."
"The explanation they give is that everything is supposed to be one. Are you doing bad things to your arms?"
"Of course not. I'm not a pervert. I like to torture myself."
"Why do I think you are so naughty? There are a bunch of pictures of people being stepped on in your browsing history." Lin Xianglan made timely follow-up shots.
"..."
The atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while.
"Ahem, according to the Holy Land Sect, our system is the framework of the divine body, so it will be good for us who are also integrated into the system." Nilu continued.
"But wasn't the system announced to the world by the person back then?" Lin Yuedong still remembered the declaration that challenged the world, and the June frost.
"He also became part of the system."
"The leader of the Holy Advent Sect is definitely his and has not run away."
"no."
"Why?"
"Because I'm a Adventist too."
"..." Lin Yuedong had forgotten how many times he was speechless today.
"I know what you are worried about. We never force others to believe." Nilu gently hugged the boy in front of her and buried his head in the gully that had just grown.
As a microbial meta-consciousness, she can change her body shape at will like a ball of water.
"I received an invitation to empathize. Do you agree?" Lin Yuedong, who was suddenly submerged in "water", received an invitation from the other party.
"agree."
With the transmission of countless sensory information, he "saw" the world in Nilu's eyes. It was an indescribable feeling. It was as if he had gained millions of pairs of eyes out of thin air, observing everything around him from countless angles.
Even a ball of air would turn into an unimaginably vast atomic nebula under such circumstances, and he would continue to fall into the center of the nebula.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
In just a few seconds, Lin Yuedong found that he was lost in it, and even had the illusion of fainting due to lack of oxygen.
There was too much picture information to process, and his brain instinctively activated protective mode.
"Let him go!" Lin Xianglan snatched her brother away and shook his body desperately, trying to wake him up from the nightmare.
"He'll be fine. I just showed him the tip of the iceberg of the real world."
"Bing your sister! I knew he was screaming!" the little cat demon cursed angrily. If the three of them didn't have a good relationship on weekdays, and she really couldn't beat each other, she would have gone up to beat this ball of slime. It was an impulse.
…
"Xiaolan, I'm fine." Lin Yuedong woke up, restrained the kitten that wanted to bite "people", and took a deep look at Nilu.
"I want to ask a question. What would happen if I continued to fall just now?"
"Completely lose yourself, become the Holy Spirit of the Holy Advent Church, and truly become one with the divine body."
"So, your belief in the Holy Land Sect is not that loyal?" Lin Yuedong asked very heartily. He heard something wrong from Nilu's words.
"We are not a religion in the traditional sense, nor do we have any fanatical beliefs or desire to preach. In terms that you can easily understand, the divine body is more like the Tao in traditional Chinese culture.
Everything in the world is part of the Tao. "
"It's too mysterious." Lin Yuedong found it difficult to accept these remarks for a while. As a person who grew up in an atheistic society, he was naturally wary of anything that claimed to be religious.
Especially in the history books, a few years before he was born, the theocratic empire of Mysore had just been destroyed by the then Huaya Federation in a battle.
