Chapter 268: Walking through the sky at will

Thousands of meters in the air.

An aircraft flies eastward at a speed of Mach 0.5, neither fast nor slow.

Looking down, there is an endless blue sea below, with sparkling lights that can't be seen at a glance.

"This planet has an area of ​​550 million square kilometers, 70% of which is covered by such a sea. However, more than 500 years have passed, and the environment of this sea has long been restored to its original ecology, but it has not been used at all, so The fish resources in the sea are abundant to the point of overflowing, and if appropriate fishing is carried out, more than 100 million tons of high-protein and nutritious fish meat can be provided every year."

Zhou Ming, who was in the driver's seat, said that at this time, a group of whales feeding collectively appeared on the sea surface below. The whales leaped into the air from time to time, causing huge waves.

Lan Mengxin also looked over and said thoughtfully: "This ocean should really be put to good use."

"In fact, the most important value of the sea is not the fish, but the abundant water resources in it. The land of this planet is divided into dozens of independent pieces by the sky curtain system. Material energy does not circulate, although to a certain extent It is said that the canopy system has indeed played a certain role in transforming the environment, but in the later stages, the need to close the canopy becomes more and more important, because some areas are short of water and need to introduce some water resources from the outside; some places are flooded , it is necessary to induce some... absolute physical isolation, so that the canopy system's self-repair of the ecological environment will have more and more side effects, but..."

After thinking about it, Zhou Ming added: "If we continue to retain the canopy system and merge all the canopies into one, it will not block the flow of matter and maintain the energy balance of the planet. In this way, the planet The transformation speed will be improved as never before.”

"You mean, there is still a need to retain the canopy system?" Lan Mengxin asked.

“Things that have more advantages than disadvantages need to be preserved.”

Zhou Ming nodded and said, pushing the afterburner stick forward in his hand, the speed of the aircraft quickly exceeded Mach 1 and flew towards the land in the east.

More than five hours later.

The aircraft slows down and hovers.

In the air ahead, a transparent film shone.

Zhou Ming pressed a button on the console. Half a second later, with a soft clicking sound, the membrane unit of the canopy in front began to split and fold, revealing a large hole about five meters in diameter.

Following this hole, the aircraft drilled in.

District 50.

The terrain is mostly desert and Gobi, with a year-round arid climate, sparsely populated areas and poor resources.

"This place is really desolate. It's all sand and stones. It would be great if water could be brought in. The land here could support at least tens of millions of people."

Looking at the vast expanse of desert below, Lan Mengxin frowned, feeling that it was a serious waste.

In the desert, an oasis with water appeared.

In the middle of the oasis, there was a small village with dozens of households. Lan Mengxin's eyes lit up and she asked Zhou Ming to slow down.

"Thatched hut, is it comfortable to live in this kind of house? There are also those people who wear white linen clothes, barefoot and no shoes, and carry a basket on their head when they go out. Is it because they are afraid of being exposed to the sun? And what they eat Is there only one kind of food, Elaeagnus angustifolia?”

Like a curious baby, Lan Mengxin asked all kinds of questions, which was very novel and exciting.

Of course, this is not surprising. The aristocrats from the upper-class area went to the lower-class area for sightseeing. This feeling is similar to that of a modern person traveling to ancient times thousands of years ago. The huge contrast will indeed bring a strong sense of time travel. .

However, Lan Mengxin only saw the simplicity and backwardness under the calm surface, and even thought that such a world seemed quite interesting.

But through this layer of appearance, when she saw the real side of the lower-level area in the next more than two months, she was deeply shocked and shocked.

Poverty, backwardness, ignorance, ignorance, struggle, numbness...these adjectives are a slightly "praising" description of the living conditions of most people at the bottom.

Cruel, cold-blooded, violent, evil, beast, devil... these adjectives are relatively general expressions of various evil phenomena common in the lower-level areas.

To use Zhou Ming's words to describe it: the law of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated.

There is no so-called law and morality in the bottom area, and there is only one thing that counts - the fist.

As long as your fists are strong enough, you can still prosper in the bottom area, eat meat, hug people, and be a rich local emperor.

Many places in the bottom area are basically the same as the monkeys in the animal world. The monkey king enjoys the right to distribute all food, enjoy the mating rights of all female monkeys, and can drive away, beat, and severely punish any disobedient monkey. All insults, life and death will be taken away from you.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lan Mengxin, Zhou Ming thinks that all these ugly, dirty, and nauseating bullying behaviors are very normal, and he always wants to intervene in Lan Mengxin to save a child who is being bullied. When looking at a girl, or a thin boy who is being beaten, Zhou Ming will say: "Don't think of these worlds as human worlds, just think of them as monkey tribes, and you can help them for a while, but you can't help them for the rest of their lives. Wait until we leave." But they will still be unlucky and they will still be bullied because they are weak."

"Unless we fundamentally change the world and change the set of rules, the fate of these little people and the countless tragedies will not change, and you can't save them."

Change the rules?

Lan Meng felt enlightened and planted a small seed in his heart.

And when Zhou Ming piloted the aircraft and entered Area 03, on a fertile plain, he witnessed a battle with more than 10,000 casualties, which could be called a "war", the seed in Lan Mengxin's heart... It quickly took root, sprouted, grew vigorously, and grew into a towering tree.

And this armed fight was just one of the thousands of armed fights that occurred in Area 03 every year, one that was larger in scale and resulted in more casualties.

The reason for the outbreak is very simple. Because this year's rainfall is less and the weather is relatively dry, two large families are worried about the loss of field production, so they are competing to cut off the river, pump water for irrigation, and pump all the water into their own fields. The family across the river Naturally, they refused to agree. If they disagreed, they started to fight. All the men in the clan came forward, and their machetes, axes, and spears were all sharpened! Kill everyone on the other side!

Unexpectedly, the fight ended only after both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.

The wailing shook the sky and was too miserable to be seen.

"These two families have formed a blood feud. They will continue to fight each other forever and ever, and countless people will die. There is basically no possibility of an end, unless one of the families falls completely, but..."

Zhou Ming shook his head again and said: "This is unlikely. For such a big family, the person in charge of District 03 will not watch one of them fall. They will give some subsidies to the disadvantaged family to make the two To maintain a balance, no one can eat anyone else."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Lan Mengxin's pretty eyes turned red, and she clenched her fists, already out of anger: "This terrible world, this disgusting hell, must undergo a complete change! We must smash all these tattered and garbage-like jars and jars. of smashing!”

Now Lan Mengxin seems to have become an angry young woman, no longer as literary, quiet and indifferent as before.

His whole body seemed to be filled with the aura of a revolutionary.

And she finally no longer rejected the mission Zhou Ming wanted to give her - to become the new master of this world.

Yes, Zhou Ming is 42 years old now. He will stay in this world for another 2 or 30 years at most, not more than 80 years. So before leaving, he hopes to find a suitable successor. Inherit this world and complete the next transformation work.

Therefore, he had to let the heir familiarize himself with the working environment in advance, so as to avoid being confused and causing fatal mistakes when he suddenly took over.

Lan Mengxin was extremely resistant to Zhou Ming's arrangement. She didn't want this man to leave so early. Why couldn't he stay with her for a few more decades?

After all, she has only enjoyed this kind of good life for 20 years. This man wants to drag her to work, but no, he won't agree!

Just don’t work!

However, Lan Mengxin couldn't help but come in the name of traveling to see the scenery. After seeing all the hell-like scenes in the lower-level area, her kind nature became more and more depressed.

Seeing the living conditions of people in the lower-class areas struggling and wailing every day, she began to have trouble sleeping and began to think about what kind of world would be better and what kind of system would be more perfect.

Moreover, if she were to be the designer of this world, how would she design and improve it?

So when she no longer resisted and gradually became ready to accept the mission she was about to undertake, she also began to put forward some of her views and opinions in front of men for his comments.

For example, "Shut down most of the canopy system within 100 years", "Establish a unified government", "Establish a police force, establish courts, improve laws, crack down on criminals severely, set up a prison area", etc. Hundreds of ideas have been put forward. and perspective.

As a result, most of these ideas and opinions were not approved by Zhou Ming. Instead, they received a non-committal sentence: "If we do this, in no more than 200 years, this planet will reach the maximum resource capacity and be at the top of the population." On the verge of explosion and resource depletion, the Doomsday War may break out again.”

Lan Meng was annoyed by the repeated denials. He pinched the man hard and said, "This won't work, that won't work either. What on earth do you want me to do? If you don't try it, how will you know if it works?"

"Ouch~"

Zhou Ming screamed, hurriedly slapped the woman's hand away, rubbed the flesh on his waist, shook his head and said:

"Don't worry, I will take you to a very interesting place to take a look. After observing the world completely, we will discuss how to transform the world. At that time, you may find that "The Empire of Money" "In fact, it is a world that is approaching perfection. If we can add some goodness and beauty of human nature to this perfection, perhaps it can be called true perfection."

"Hmph! What's perfect? ​​It's not perfect at all."

Lan Mengxin pouted disdainfully, with a very dissatisfied face.

However, since the man said so, she would put those thoughts in her heart for the time being and wait until she saw the world before she could argue with him.
