Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 512: You have to stand on the top of the mountain (5/4)

What does an ordinary person represent to a sublimated person?

Perhaps, they are still working hard to protect these "ordinary people" only to ensure the size of the country, to ensure the potential of the "future", and to cultivate more geniuses and sublimators for a larger base .

The reason why Inaiga II was able to persuade the major groups in the empire to carry out universal education, except that he was strong enough, I am afraid that other groups also believed that universal education can improve the quality of the people and create more Sublimators, the idea of ​​filling their forces.

The emperor eats meat, but they can also drink broth. Everyone is a courtier, and they can't beat Emperor Inaiga and the first knight.

But in the end, because of too much technological progress, these educated ordinary people lost their advancement channels——Inaiga II miscalculated human nature, and he thought that learning and knowing more knowledge was itself a Reward, a kind of reward, but many people don't think so.

They need a more direct and intuitive 'reward'.

Among this group of people, although there are more ascendants than in the past, the number is far less than expected, and it has also caused social chaos in many areas.

The entire empire has realized the benefits of universal education, as well as the 'disadvantages', and the death of Inaiga II has caused them to have a cautious attitude towards this policy, and they are only willing to treat some people who are sure to become sublimated. Invest in geniuses and psykers.

Ian has been able to get so many preferential treatments along the way, precisely because of the continuation of this policy - he was selected by this system, so he can make such a smooth rise.

This is why Ian is favored by so many nobles, even the second prince like Mikael came to warn him.

Because he is a 'high-quality investment product that can get stable gains, not chaos'.

A stock that never loses money.

That's enough to make people throw money at it.

As for ordinary people, protection is enough.

For most of Terra's sublimated rulers, only the elites among ordinary people are needed to select these people and turn them into sublimated people. Whether other mediocre ordinary people can receive education, there is a question There are no hopes and dreams, it's all little things that don't matter.

They don't care.

——This is no longer a question of class.

"This is an isolation. The isolation that is almost impossible to break is the isolation caused by technology beyond the times!"

When Ian knew that the empire had actually mastered the 'inscription intelligence' technology that could produce 'alchemy potions', his heart gradually 'cooled' down after a burst of 'ecstasy'.

The reason for ecstasy is that Terra's artificial intelligence technology has a foundation, which means that the world's productivity will soon usher in a big explosion-if it can be practical, then the productivity will explode, and Terra has it at any time. The ability to become a near interstellar civilization.

But the cooling is because of a very simple problem.

——Big explosion, so what?

A fifth energy level... no, a fourth energy level, which can destroy everything at any time.

It doesn't even need to be destroyed, who can consume these bursts of productivity?

Free shipping? Give for free? Free benefits? What a joke, this kind of thing never happened in the previous life, expecting the alchemy workshop where the ascendant is in power to do this job?

Even with the authority and power of Inaiga II, they have to resist...

—Oh.

The young man finally understood why, why Inaiga II was betrayed by almost all his old partners back then.

Because, that naive guy, that guy who was so genius that he ignored the problem at his feet.

Really want to do that.

"I'm afraid it's because he wants to give free benefits to the whole people... This is no running, it's a rocket leap to Datong society. I didn't do it in my hometown in my previous life. Consume resources, and enter through the interstellar pioneering that can consume productivity indefinitely - it can't cure the root cause."

"Without four or five fifth-level platforms, how dare you carry out this kind of reform? Counting that era, our Ciehalorvo family even came up with something like the Echo of Eternal Life. Everyone thought that Inaijia The second generation has been tossing his whole life and future generations, no wonder they are all reversed."

"Not to mention the crown prince at that time. Everyone probably thought, 'The emperor and the first knight are too strong, we can't oppose it, even if we can reverse the success, the price will be too high, why don't we bear it and wait until the two of them Let’s talk about it like this.” Such a compromising mentality, in the end, they accidentally learned about immortality technology, even if it’s just something like mirror echo... They were also frightened, so they could only fight back hard.”

"At that time, Inaiga II's basic board, that is, those emerging productive forces, the Alchemy Association and other forces, were probably still liquidating and going bankrupt."

Ian smiled wryly in his heart. The more he understood the world of Terra, the more he felt that there were many problems.

People? No shortage.

Technology? There is no shortage.

Social system? As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want.

The problem is here, how can it be considered strong enough?

Originally, Ian thought that the lack of enthusiasm of the people of Terra for universal education was simply due to the simple "can't find a job after learning" and "mismatch between productivity and education" - this is easy to solve, as long as the gradual construction In an industrialized society, increasing productivity while increasing the consumption capacity of the people will allow Terra to quickly enter a modern society.

But now it seems that the two problems of "can't find a job after learning" and "mismatch between productivity and education" are indeed correct.

But the fact is completely opposite.

Tera is a productivity technology, and it has already pointed out 'artificial intelligence', so it is useless for ordinary people to learn it-how can ordinary people compete with artificial intelligence!

The sublimators are also not interested in this. What they need is a sufficiently 'strong' alchemy potion, which can only be produced by a master alchemist, and even a high-level alchemy potion that needs to be assisted by a 'soul' to control it. Intelligence cannot provide it, and neither can the common man.

So the empire did not dare to continue research, and felt that universal education was meaningless.

Because, if the inscription intelligence that even the soul can have is researched... Does that mean that apart from ordinary people, the current batch of alchemists will not be needed?

Is that really about to start to be rebelled by the entire ascendant class?

"Sometimes the technology left over from the civilization of the previous era is really not a good thing... Hey, too super powerful technology is really a disaster, it will completely destroy the possibility of the development of the times, and make the whole society become deformed."

Thinking frantically in his heart, Ian spoke slowly.

"I see."

The young man's words stopped Mikhail, who was about to turn light and leave: "Your Highness, you think that the late emperor's mistake was wasting too much time on ordinary people, and these ordinary people are too foolish. , Just a little propaganda, a little smear, a little deception and tampering can make them change their positions and hate those who really love them.”

"So, ordinary people... just help whoever wins. They need to be won over, but what they need to do more is to make themselves stronger first and ensure that they can win, otherwise everything they do will be lost Meaning.”

"Instead of being nice to ordinary people from the beginning, it's better to choose a genius and cultivate it to the fifth energy level to strengthen your own strength, and then you can do more things."

"Goodness and love without the support of power will definitely be distorted and twisted into... a tyrant."

Mikael turned his back to Ian, listening to Ian's words in silence.

"Yes." When the young man finished speaking, he said softly, unable to see the expression or hear the tone: "Isn't this land like this? Ian, why didn't you be born a hundred years earlier, and catch up with me?" The era of grandfather?"

"If there was another fifth energy level beside my grandfather, history would be rewritten."

But no.

Inaika II is dead.

"Ian, you are really smart." Turning his head, the second prince faced Ian.

Before leaving, Mikael said seriously for the first time: "But your way of looking at things is too inclined to the technology itself, and does not have a high degree."

"Life in Nanling made you experience the hard work of ordinary people. I can understand that I have done similar things. But you are already a lord, although you may not take office so soon, But you should understand now."

"Compared to the simple happiness of a group of people, it is more important to ensure the stability of the cities and provinces they live in. You have to understand that in addition to the empire, there are many other forces, other high-level powerhouses, and we check and balance each other. Confrontation, most of the resources have been thrown into this bottomless pit, and we have to continue to throw them in our lifetime.”

"All technologies and all resources must be biased in this direction - we have no way to change the allocation of resources, even if there are better options, but if this change will cause turmoil and drastic changes, Then we can't do that either."

"We can't compare the best, because going from bad to good will cause flaws, and we are just comparing who can't survive first, who will show flaws first."

"Ian, you can't think about developing with peace of mind, and you can't imagine this kind of luxury."

"You have to mobilize resources to fight against the destruction of Warcraft and other countries--destruction that is much easier than construction--you have to protect the stability and peace of this land, and then you have to make a choice."

The second prince stretched out his hand, and pressed his right hand on Ian's shoulder, while raising his left hand, pointing to the distance... Ian knew that that was the direction of the upper city of the imperial capital: "You can stand on the highest place That kind of person, Ian, you will become an important minister of the empire, standing on the top of the imperial capital."

Mikael said almost solemnly: "Whether it is me or someone else who becomes the emperor in the end...even the father, if he sees you now, he will train you. You will become a member there .”

"You have to learn to think this way."

"Ian, you have to stand on the top of the mountain!"
