Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 644 Flower of Blood and Bone·One-Dimensional Society V

"Social Darwinism."

This was the first thought that popped into Xia Xiu's mind after he read the reward information.

The few short lines of words on the 70th floor reward made him keenly aware of the terrible consequences that would be caused if this anomaly were to spread on a large scale in the world.

Social Darwinism is a thought that applies the principles of "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection" to human society and the economic field.

This thought advocates that competition in social, political and economic environments can produce the strongest, that is, those individuals or groups that are most adaptable to the environment will survive and prosper, while the weaker ones will be eliminated.

They compare the development of human society to biological evolution in nature, emphasizing that competition, efficiency and ability are the driving forces of social progress.

Advocates reducing government intervention in the economy and society, such as reducing welfare support for the poor, on the grounds that such support will hinder natural competition in the process of social evolution.

This doctrine has been widely criticized, mainly because it attempts to mechanically apply the concept of biological evolution to complex human society, ignoring the ethical, moral and cultural factors of human society.

The evolutionist theory advocated by the 70th floor under Xia Xiu's feet now made him smell a strong social atmosphere.

In a society that prides itself on evolution, individuals will face huge social pressure and must continue to evolve to maintain competitiveness.

However, it would be too extreme to classify the 70th floor as a social maker simply because of the evolutionary mechanism.

He always felt that the 70th floor and the inner hall awakening that were conducting experiments were not pursuing such a simple and crude social structure. The other party wrote in the message that the solution to the real problem of "one-dimensional society" was definitely not socialism.

After completing the task, a prompt window popped up on the screen asking whether to receive the reward.

Xia Xiu just glanced at it, then reached out and quickly closed the reward pop-up window.

His eyes turned to the front of the laboratory, and a red teleportation button appeared on the wall not far away, emitting a faint light.

The red button was embedded in the center of the silver-gray metal wall, which was particularly abrupt with the surrounding environment.

The light of the button was particularly obvious in the empty laboratory, like a beacon guiding him forward.

"From William Ned to Cameron Brady Turner, whom I have not met yet, they are all pursuing one thing. They are all seeking the ownership of all resources, the distribution method, economic planning, and the right to define the roles of individuals and groups in the extraordinary quantitative world."

"Ion's stripping method and the Three Principles of Ethics are also a kind of utopianism in the extraordinary quantitative world, and it is the earliest utopianism of fantasy and materialization."

"The pursuit of this core idea is to advocate the implementation of extraordinary public ownership and resource allocation according to demand, but each has its own views.

Some Sarkic cults understand public ownership as extraordinary means of production and Consumer goods are all owned by the public, and most of these cults remain closed and isolated; some cults understand it as the public ownership of the extraordinary other than daily necessities, that is, the public ownership of genealogical resources, including the production factors in the present world, and the extraordinary factors of the mighty...

But no matter which cult it is, the combination inevitably follows a consensus - to organize production in a planned way and completely eradicate anarchy. "

"History is a circle, and it still cannot avoid this problem - planning. "

"Designing babies is a plan, and regulating genes is also a plan. "

The fourth sword bearer in the kingdom of heaven walked to the red button.

The flashing light of the button illuminated his face, and his golden eyes were filled with an elusive luster.

"In order to realize utopianism, should the mighty ones, in the world of extraordinary quantification, exercise comprehensive control over all resources through centralized planning?"

"Even if the original planning motivation is for the public interest, to improve social efficiency or to achieve social justice; can utopia really be achieved through such centralized planning, such control that extends to all aspects of social and personal life, and such centralized planning that erodes free will?"

"Inner Temple Awakening, what are you pursuing, utopia or slavery?"

Can a person's life be regulated in the name of utopia?

Even the angels have to admit a reality: the Kingdom of Heaven is only carefully reforming Terra society through its own strict hierarchical system, and imposing a compulsory "spiritual power/belief" on all angels.

[You are starting to prepare to teleport to the next random floor——]

[Floor matching——]

[Floor matching completed! ]

[Now teleporting to: 27th floor! ]

Xia Xiu stretched out his hand, and his fingers gently touched the surface of the button.

As the button was triggered, a faint mechanical sound rang in his ears. He felt a warm energy quickly surrounding his whole body, as if he was gently wrapped in a layer of soft light.

Then, his vision was flooded by a dazzling beam of light, and the transmitted energy formed a bright vortex around him, pulling his entire body into it.

His body gradually lost weight, as if floating in the void. The surrounding scene became blurred, and only the beam of light always penetrated his vision.

He closed his eyes and let this power lead him through time and space.

Floor 27.

When the intensity of the beam of light began to weaken, Xia Xiu felt that he was slowly landing in a new place.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him was completely new. He found himself in a room full of art. The first thing that caught his eye was the warm natural light pouring in through the large skylight, which brought a soft and warm feeling to the whole space.

The skylight was decorated with vines and flowers around it, adding a bit of natural atmosphere, as if this place was integrated with the natural environment outside.

In a corner of the room, there were several unfinished paintings, with various colors flowing on the canvas, showing the artist's spiritual world.

There were several bottles of paint and brushes next to the easel.

Xia Xiu's eyes were quickly attracted by a painting on the wall.

This painting is full of passion and power. In the picture, people hold weapons and charge into battle, symbolizing the spirit of resistance and revolution.

The female figure in the center holds up the French flag, symbolizing freedom. She wears a Phrygian hat and is naked from the waist up, symbolizing the freedom and power of the revolution.

Her eyes are firm and full of hope, leading people to victory.

The characters in the picture are full of vitality, with different expressions, some are angry, some are determined, and some are full of hope.

"Liberty Leading the People".

One of Fran's most famous paintings.

As Xia Xiu was staring at the painting, the virtual pop-up window appeared again.

[You need to complete an oil painting with the theme of "self" within the specified time. This task does not require a complete display of painting skills, but requires creativity and personal style. ]

[Evaluation criteria: After the task is completed, the painting will be evaluated based on its skill, creativity and emotional expression. ]

After reading the task requirements, Xia Xiu frowned slightly and thought in his heart.

"Sure enough, this is indeed a talent tower."

He raised his head and looked at "Liberty Leading the People" again, drawing inspiration from the painting.

Then, he walked slowly to the workbench, ready to start his own creation.

He first took out the canvas and fixed it on the easel, then selected the appropriate paint and brush, and the brush in his hand began to wander on the canvas.

Time passed quietly.

A slightly abstract painting took shape under Xia Xiu's brush.

In a dark desert, a fascinating portrait appeared before our eyes.

In the painting, a huge camel walked slowly on the sand dunes, carrying a heavy burden, and there were more burdens waiting for the camel ahead.

At the other end of the painting, another camel knelt down to pack them well, and it wanted to carry as much weight as possible.

Its eyes showed patience and obedience, and it endured the heavy fate in silence.

It was eager to carry more weight.

Opposite the camel, a huge dragon was entrenched at the other end of the desert, its body covered with thousands of golden scales, staring ahead, guarding the laws and orders ruled by it.

Between the two, the desert stretched out, the sky was gloomy, and a tense atmosphere that was about to explode filled the air.

The strong contrast and color clearly showed the tension between the camel's obedience and the dragon's oppression.

Xia Xiu stopped painting and examined his work.

At this time, the familiar green pop-up window appeared in his field of vision again.

[You have finished painting! ]

[Start rating——]

[Your rating is: Perfect! ]

As soon as the prompt sounded, Xia Xiu's painting disappeared. The next moment, the painting appeared next to "Freedom Leading the People" on the floor.

Below it, a new line of words appeared - "Dragon and Camel".

Xia Xiu's painting formed a sharp contrast with "Freedom Leading the People", but it also complemented each other.

Just as Xia Xiu's eyes stayed on this painting, the red button representing transmission appeared in front of him again.

The button was located in the center of the room, and the bright red color was particularly eye-catching under the soft light.

Xia Xiu silently said in his heart: "Although the high-level authority based on elements has been blocked, the passivity of [Out of Control World] is still within my control."

His eyes looked into the void, and his pupils were looking at something that the world could not see or touch - disaster (out of control index).

"I have adjusted the out-of-control index around me to the lowest. According to the tilt angle, I only need to clear three floors to reach the top."

"I wonder how the 'staff' on the top floor is preparing now."

He walked slowly to the red button and pressed it gently.

As the button was triggered, a faint mechanical sound rang in his ears, and then he felt a warm energy surrounding him.

The light column lit up again, and the space around him began to blur, as if a layer of mist was shrouding him.

A brief feeling of dizziness came over him, and he felt that he was lifted up by an invisible force, and his body became light.

70th floor·Top.

This place is full of various display screens and holographic projections of three-dimensional maps, showing the real-time status of various laboratories and research facilities.

The ground is covered with smooth metal floors, exuding a cold luster.

There are countless small surveillance cameras embedded in the walls around, constantly scanning every corner.

In the center of the floor stands a huge operating table, on which various buttons and joysticks are densely arranged.

Directly in front of the operating console is a huge display screen showing complex charts and data. The display screen is surrounded by several holographic projections. The projected map is full of three-dimensionality, as if the real terrain has been shrunk and suspended in the air.

The name and status of each important location is marked on the map, and flashing light spots show the current active area.

Cameron Brady Turner stood in the middle of the floor. He was a man in his early thirties, wearing a white research coat and metal-framed glasses.

There was a bit of exhaustion on Turner's face, but more of an unconcealable nervousness.

His hair was slightly messy, and his dark eyes shone sharply through the lenses.

Cameron whispered: "The Watcher was broken."

"A new entrant has been detected on the 70th floor."

His fingers were tapping rapidly on the console, and the data on the display screen was constantly refreshing.

"As for the Human Bone Factory, Sac Sabo did not respond to messages."

Cameron's brows furrowed, obviously a little uneasy.

"Bluegrass State Blood Center, William Ned also did not respond to messages."

"A person who can cross three states in one day and kill all the awakened people in the inner palace of each state..."

Cameron's words stopped abruptly, and his pupils looked forward in surprise.

Buzz——

In front of him, the teleported light appeared, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire room even brighter.

As the light gradually disappeared, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes wearing warehouse work clothes appeared in front of him.

The appearance of the blond young man brought an inexplicable pressure to Cameron. Cameron's expression changed from surprise to alertness. His brows furrowed slightly and his fingers unconsciously clenched the edge of the operating table.

Xia Xiu, who was in the teleportation light, quietly opened his eyes, and his golden eyes quickly locked onto Cameron's figure like an eagle.

Then, he showed a faint smile to Cameron:

"It seems that I was very lucky. It only took me five floors to reach the top."

"Sure enough, luck is a remnant of design."

Xia Xiu's eyes swept across Cameron's face, and then quickly looked around the surrounding environment.

He noticed the display screens and holographic projections around him, with curiosity in his eyes.

"No matter who you are and how much power you have outside, on the 70th floor, all you can rely on is your own ability."

Cameron warned the blond young man in a cold tone, "Here, the incarnation cannot be exhaled from the secret key, and thaumaturgy cannot be constructed from it."

"Even if you have a way to break free, you will soon be expelled from the floor and never hired."

Facing Cameron's warning, Xia Xiu spread his hands, still with a smile on his face.

"Of course I know this, but it doesn't seem to say that you can't use your hands and feet."

"No, I just have some skills."

There will be another update later, Xianyu is speeding up the progress——
