The Righteous Player(s)
Vol 2 Chapter 98: It’s not meaningless, it’s just not enough
, The fastest update to the latest chapter of Super Justice!
By now.
Isaac, who had come back to life after a hundred years of death, finally calmed down and returned to his hometown, after witnessing this world that has indeed changed and has not changed.
He finally began to doubt his own career and the value of his life.
Annan was not surprised by this.
Rather, it’s like Hugo and Salvatore, who can pay any price and don’t pray for a result, but also burn out their own souls that are totally good for others...On the contrary, they are very few. .
That is a aptitude that can be called a saint.
But Annan couldn't use Salvatore's standards to demand Isaac.
After all, I hope that my efforts will be rewarded, which is also human nature.
"As for what you said... this country has changed a lot in the past hundred years, but nothing seems to have changed. This is actually quite normal."
Annan held the wine glass in both hands, took a sip and replied softly, "Because what you have changed is ‘many’, not ‘all’."
"...Not all?"
"Yes. In the final analysis, the hope that we can directly improve society and bring about social progress through the means of'only increasing productivity' is a very idealistic expectation in itself. It is a kind of productivity theory."
Annan said calmly: "Whether it is the Jade Pagoda or the Zedi Black Pagoda, the technology you have developed has indeed promoted the evolution of the times and brought great convenience to people.
"But why can you perceive that the world has indeed changed?"
"...Because I haven't come back for a long time."
Isaac took a deep breath: "I have been more than 140 years...no, it should be more than 180 years that I haven't come back here. It's like being with my own child day and night, it's hard to tell if he has It’s the same as getting fat or getting taller."
"In other words, you actually know-no matter what new technology it is, it is difficult to immediately feed back to the entire society."
"Well. After all, the dissemination of news takes a lot of time, and people will not easily change their lifestyles. Invention and civilian use, civilian use and popularization, and popularization and habit are all different concepts."
As a wizard who had turned to the chemical school, Isaac still had an understanding of this situation.
Transforming wizards who have just graduated often hope that they can immediately change the entire world.
Whenever they develop a new technology, they are eager to be promoted immediately, and it is best for everyone to use it immediately... without realizing what the people’s most urgent needs are and whether they really need to spend money. Come and buy this thing.
And when they find that no one cares about their invention, no one understands it, it is inevitable that they will have a feeling of inappreciation.
Therefore, vaccinating young wizards before they graduate to prevent their mentality from falling apart is also one of the jobs of the mentors in the wizard tower.
"Then you should actually be able to understand... the changes in production relations caused by the increase in productivity, no matter on the time level or the space level, its changes will not be even and effective immediately."
Annan said slowly: "People have the habit of'following the habit'. If not necessary, they will not realize that this kind of production relationship needs to be changed. For a long period of time, this kind of formed'habit' will be quite fixed. Will not change easily.
"As long as the productive forces continue to develop, society will change sooner or later. Although you feel that Denizoya has not changed anything compared to the past... But is it really your subjective feeling? It really has no change at all, except for the city. Apart from the better style and appearance, hasn't it been better or worsened a little bit?"
"...That's not true."
By this time Isaac had already calmed down.
He was not a frizzy young guy. When he heard that "this change will not be average and effective immediately," he actually realized his problem.
But he still didn't know how to deal with this problem.
Therefore, he can only follow Annan’s words seriously: "A hundred years ago, there would be multiple pirate gangs in each city competing for power. For larger cities, new gangs would even be born every day. , There will also be the death of old gangs.
"But now...it seems that the zip gang has completely controlled the'Black Sail Town'. There are no piles of corpses appearing in the streets and lanes."
"Yes."
Annan nodded: "But that is not because they are more conscientious or moral than in the past... but because they have artillery, because the scale and technology of ships have increased.
"In this way, it will be difficult for pirates to fight each other in gangs. When one side gains an advantage, it will quickly turn it into a victory; and after they have completely won, they will find ways to consolidate themselves in these ports. The'domination' in the city, which instead suppressed the formation of other gangs.
"Isn't the relationship between these pirates and pirates changed because of these new technologies? But is this change due to the technology of the "pirate relationship modifier"?"
……Yes it is.
Isaac's pupils, which had dimmed before, brightened again.
He realized the problem.
The inventions of Zediheita are all good things that can "improve people's lives immediately."
For example, convenient and easy-to-use wound medicine, cheap and safe lighting technology, papermaking and printing technology that can be popularized, and safer and more labor-saving exploration of underground equipment groups...
These things are said to have not changed society... But is it true that nothing has been done?
——Not so ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In Isaac's time, a book needs at least one gold coin to get started. Those books were copied by hand, and it was impossible for the poor to even buy books. Because the price cannot be lowered at all...The labor cost of the scribe and the cost of paper are hard to ignore.
Nowadays, with the popularization of papermaking and printing technology, books have become cheap. You can buy a book with one or two silver coins, and there is a premium... In Noah, if you want to take a newspaper, what you need is not the purchase of a silver coin, but a "donation."
If you want to read books or newspapers, you don't even need to spend money-every city has public libraries for the general public. Only need a small amount of money, you can "monthly card", enter it to read.
And this is also something that is only possible because of the sharp drop in printing costs.
It is precisely because of the development of lighting technology that there is now such a thing as "street lights". With this thing, the night crime rate has also dropped significantly.
"What you did is not meaningless."
Annan whispered, "It's just... not enough. It's far from enough."
