Chapter 173: Supporting Humanity
This is the first time that the magazine has published it, but Gu Lu did not receive the sample issue. It was a problem with the courier station, and the things sent were lost directly...
Also I don’t know if the courier company has paid the compensation, but Gu Lu has remembered the name of Best Huitong and will not use this brand in the future.
The sales volume of each issue of "Science Fiction World" should be higher than that of "The Reasoning of Time". Why is the coverage not as good as that of the latter?
Anyway, Gu Lu traveled a long way to buy "Science Fiction World". Like most magazines, the cover will recommend several main articles.
The two articles in this issue are -
[Supporting Humanity
○Gu Lu
The pinnacle of capitalism is “99% of the world’s wealth is in the hands of one person! ”
Wandering Moon
○Jiang Bo
The ownership of the moon is up to you. ]
After the judgment of the editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World, the first article published was the extremely satirical "Sustaining Humanity".
There are more readers who bought this issue, because many of them are going for Jiang Bo.
Jiang Bo is a famous Chinese science fiction writer. Every article he publishes in magazines is extremely shocking.
The prehistoric world trilogy, "Dance of Shiva" has also been translated into Japanese and published in Neon Science Fiction Magazine, which is very powerful.
But readers found out strangely, who is Gu Lu? Are you still suppressing Jiang Bo?
I just started watching "Feeding Humanity" and made complaints about it.
"The main character's name is Smoothbore? This thing is too perfunctory."
"Social Wealth Liquefaction Committee, Brother Wenming...If you don't know how to name it, let me do it!"
>
"The beginning of a murder-for-hire case? Is this the place in a science fiction novel?"
Perhaps the expectations are too high, even if there is no distinction between the top and bottom recommendations on the cover, he must be a powerful master if he can be ranked alongside Jiang Bo. .
But judging from the beginning, it really doesn’t work.
There are too many shortcomings. First of all, the names are Huabo and Zhige, which are weird names, even if they have some background.
Brother Tooth carries a saw with him, and Smoothbore is because he went to the killer school and learned a skill that can control the direction of bullet marks at any time.
Even so, readers are dissatisfied. It's not a mafia novel, nor is it a Dragon Tiger Gate type. What's the point of having a killer school? Looking at the background, the protagonist Huabo is still an orphan adopted and raised by Brother Zhi.
Don’t the early stories have any merit? That's true. Most readers choose to continue reading, mainly due to two suspense reasons.
First of all, what is the spaceship of the "brother" civilization doing when it is parked in mid-air? Secondly, why did the top 20 richest people in the Forbes list set up a social wealth liquefaction committee and commissioned killers to kill the three poorest people in the world?
It is these two suspenses that make readers frown, just like Lao Li, "the undercover agent of "Story Club"", "Gu Lu's network assistant", "making friends all over the world but not knowing much about science fiction". At this point, I was so anxious that I couldn't even spit out the tea leaves.
Lao Li didn't like to add a filter to the thermos cup, so he would spit out the tea residue after taking one sip, and then swallowed it all together.
"Starting with a killer order is a bit like the article "Good Intentions", but science fiction always needs to be science fiction, and you can't write it like this." Lao Li muttered.
Lao Li saw the interesting plot, "Oh, oh, although Xiao Gu is not suitable for writing science fiction, his writing style is still spicy and satirical, and the wanderers are also hierarchical."
Three hundred thousand. High-level homeless people can go to high-end villa areas and pick up 90% new items thrown away by rich people by bribing security guards.
The middle-class homeless people pick up all the valuable scrap electrical appliances and metal products at the garbage transfer stations. However, the transfer stations are not just for people to enter. Each transfer station is guarded by a homeless leader. The largest number of homeless people are left at the bottom, picking up worthless objects and rotting food in landfills on the edge of the city. One of the three people Huabo wants to kill is a homeless girl. Because of her weak body, she can only pick up garbage at the edge...
"Looking through the garbage, Xiao Gu's sarcasm is more obvious this time." Lao Li said. According to Xiao Gu's previous style, the sarcasm was half spoken.
But is it obvious?
No, no, no.
Lao Li continued to read, and the suspense of "Sustaining Humanity" in the novel was revealed, which shocked him and the readers even more.
Why do rich people worth tens of billions commission killers to kill homeless people?
Because their brother's civilization escaped from their own planet, they planned to make Blue Star their new home.
Of course, my brother, Civilization, is not a demon. He will not exterminate all human beings. They will set aside an open space as a place to live.
That is, in Australia, the Australian government resisted the brother's civilization, but the secondary artillery of the brother's civilization spacecraft wiped out everyone in Australia.
Human beings also realize that they are by no means the rival of their elder brother's civilization and can only accept the situation.
Billions of people are crowded into Australia and there is not much land for agriculture and industry, so they cannot support themselves at all. Brother Wenming proposed to support humans and provide living materials——
["According to the reservation plan, Brother Civilization will conduct a comprehensive social census of Blue Star humans. The purpose of the survey is to determine the current lowest living standards in human society. Brother Civilization will allocate living materials to everyone according to this standard."
……]
So there must be a social wealth liquefaction committee.
So make the homeless rich.
So kill the poorest people.
Because rich people cannot live in poverty!
“66666, the rich will only sincerely share their wealth when their own interests are harmed. This is so ironic!” Lao Li exclaimed,
If the novel only ends here , "Feeding Humanity" is just a masterpiece, what really makes the work a god is the follow-up, in which the protagonist Smoothbore has a conversation with the enumerator in his brother's civilization.
God’s unfolding starts——
My brother’s civilization, who came in the spaceship, are all fleeing famine. In other words, they are all poor, a total of two billion poor people.
The wealth of the entire planet of Brother's civilization is gathered in the hands of one man. The sky, oceans and even the air belong to him. He is called the Final Product.
Two billion poor people and one rich man! The reason for such deformity is "higher education". My brother civilization invented technology that can directly pour knowledge into the brain.
But the cost is too high, which is equivalent to buying two or three 150-square-meter commercial houses in prime locations in the capital or Shanghai. Therefore, only a few people can receive "higher education."
The gap between those who have received higher education and those who have not is just like the gap between the latter and dogs. They are not the same species at all.
“Holy shit, shit, this is written.” Lao Li exclaimed, the lines in it are so fucking scary that it makes people think deeply, “This is the second evolution of human beings, the first time with The apes are separated by natural selection; this time they are separated from the poor by another equally sacred law: private property is inviolable.”
Look at Lao Li's reaction. He is an old editor who has read books for many years. He can be so surprised, let alone an ordinary reader.
"Feeding Humanity" is like a bomb that exploded in the science fiction circle!
