Vol 2 Chapter 26 The Social Problems of the Elf Empire

To get to the Elf Empire, you need to go all the way north. After crossing the national border, you also need to cross a barren area. There is a buffer zone between different countries. In fact, in a sense, the entire Blue River Alliance is the Elf Empire and the Another buffer zone between empires, if you look at the map, the territory of the Blue River Alliance is not even one thousandth of that of the Elf Empire.

Even so, the territory owned by the small alliance already has tens of millions of square kilometers. It is conceivable, just how huge is the country that can be called an empire on the Great Desolate Continent?

The size of the entire continent is almost infinite. In many cases, a huge mountain peak will be comparable to a planet, and a huge empire will naturally be extremely large. Without the use of teleportation, it is difficult to cross such a vast country. It’s not that the two countries are adjacent to each other, and the Blue River Alliance will not choose to go to the Elf Empire by land.

On a certain level, the Blue River Alliance is so poor and weak. To a certain extent, the reason is that it is too far from heaven and too close to the elf empire. The countries in this world are also mercenary. The elf empire is no exception. The attitude of the neighbors is to honestly regard them as the origin of their own resources. If you can, provide yourself with superhumans as much as possible.

Although the magic culture of the elf empire is prosperous, it is the empire with the highest magic civilization on the entire continent, but they are still developing, not the civilization with the strongest magic technology in history, the logic family that was once exterminated is the strongest. Magical races, they are born with great computing power and analytical power, and what they use can no longer be called magic, but arcane magic, which means that they can analyze the essence of magic to a certain extent, and display more essence. The power of , relying on their analytical combination to create more powerful magic, and magic props.

This kind of ability, the current elves still do not have. After all, they don’t have the strong racial talent of the Logic family. Now the elves devote a lot of energy to the development of the outside world.

Although the prehistoric continent is huge, it is only a part of the multiverse. It’s just the most energetic universe. In addition to the prehistoric world, there are many worlds in the multiverse, but the energy in these worlds is not as abundant as the prehistoric world. But it is also possible to give birth to life and to give birth to treasures.

The outside of the development is like a traveler traveling between worlds, collecting good things in these worlds. It’s just that the elf empire did not send a separate traverser for development. Instead, it is organized and disciplined to send imperial legions to develop externally.

Once a plane is developed, it can be sealed outside and become a noble of this plane. Constantly provide the unique resources of this plane for the elves and this clan.

As a result, the elves have almost become one of the richest races on the Great Desolate Continent, and the entire race is extremely rich in material things. However, their thinking obviously did not keep up with the development of technology, and that part also lacked certain historical processes, and it was obviously a social animal, but the social stage stagnated at the end of the feudal system, and did not even advance to the era of capital .

The extraordinary power of an individual will actually hinder the progress of society. If there is a way to break away from society and still achieve improvement, it will make many social elites unable to devote their energy to social cooperation. They can improve themselves and gain a higher social status without participating in the cooperation. Why should they cooperate with others?

As a result, the progress of the society has stagnated, and all the talented people have given up and participated in social cooperation to improve their social status. Instead, they use their precious energy to study extraordinary power. After all, it is easier for them to obtain a higher social status. It seems that the social system is stagnant, and it is nothing at the end of the feudal period. One of the few empires in the world, and its combat power can rank among the top few.

However, the stagnation of the social system will suppress the development of wisdom. According to the historical data observed by Chengying, the elf empire has fallen into such a stagnation of development. Although the territory of the empire is still expanding, it is becoming more and more Wealthy, but within the empire has become addicted to pleasure.

Begin to indulge in an exquisite life, and the technological explosion begins to move towards a cultural explosion. This can be seen from the fact that both men and women of the elves are quite feminine. Even male elves will look extremely delicate, and the utensils used in daily life are even more delicate. Each piece is a work of art.

This is actually one of the important manifestations of a civilization that lacks historical progress after being greatly enriched by material things. They are addicted to material life and spiritual enjoyment, are unwilling to devote their energy to the exploration of the unknown, and are coerced by the people at the bottom. The value created by literary and artistic genres has to be elevated to the same level as the value created by science and technology, or even a higher level.

This is actually a deformed social form, just like the salary of an actor is the cost of a scientist to the predecessors. Although art workers have also created huge wealth, this is not the same as the development and progress of science. Once there is no restriction With this trend, the progress of civilization is likely to stagnate.

The social problems of the Elf Empire are more than these. It is now in the bonus stage of external development. A large number of social problems have been covered up by the favorable economy. All elves are full of confidence in the future of the empire. Gradually stagnating, those peripheral life with low risk are completed, the economic growth of the Elf Empire will gradually stagnate, and social problems will begin to intensify, the ascending channel will gradually be cut off, and the gap between the rich and the poor will begin to divide.

When it is difficult to obtain benefits from external development, the internal power struggle in the Elf Empire will become a zero-sum game. When you take a bite, I will take a bite. If you can’t find the driving force for economic growth internally, you can Promote the development of science and technology and continue to maintain the progress of civilization, social problems will become more and more acute, so that it is necessary to use fierce means such as war to transfer contradictions.

Chengying sat on a locomotive powered by a Stirling engine, flipped through books about the elf empire, learned about the development of this empire, and realized that this is a huge empire with huge social problems, and this problem is now almost inexplicable.

The biggest trouble is that extraordinary power is too easy to obtain. If you are alone in the mountains and forests, as long as you have enough talent for decades, you may become a peerless powerhouse in a few hundred years. , become the actual ruler of the country.

With such an opportunity, why do those who are gifted and talented cooperate with others, go about their business in society, and regard others as beings equal to themselves?

In this way, the social environment will become bad. The bad here does not refer to the living environment. The living environment of the elves is very good, and the citizens of the empire have extremely high quality, even some utopian feeling, but the social environment However, there is a lack of a spirit of seeking knowledge, and there is a differentiation between the gifted and the untalented. Those who lack talent have no motivation to work hard at all, and they have no conditions to jump to the level they are in.

In the absence of subjective initiative, there is no way to develop wisdom. The more you use the brain, the better it can be used. Constant thinking can improve wisdom, but the social environment of the Elf Empire has cut off this kind of thinking and is at the bottom of society. People who are not able to resist, have no motivation to resist, even if they can’t climb to the top, they can have a good life, then they can clock in to work every day and catch fish on time.

As for the transcendent power, Chengying has no way to influence it. After observing the situation of the Elf Empire, and seeing the obvious technological stagnation and social stagnation, he has a new plan for his Tree of Wisdom project.

Not only do we need to develop an extraordinary system in which everyone can find a way to progress, but this extraordinary system should also promote social cooperation. We must make extraordinary people realize that they can cooperate with each other and participate in the social division of labor. productivity.

Chengying didn’t put a lot of energy into thinking about this issue before, but it’s not too late to think about it now. Originally, the extraordinary system he formulated is related to each other. Many types of extraordinary roads require the assistance of technology and other The cooperation of people now needs to be made more systematic. The differentiation of career paths is only to differentiate into extraordinary career paths, but also to differentiate life career paths, such as mechanics, commanders, and doctors. can continue to subdivide.

To balance the value of different career paths in the entire system, so that the ultimate achievements of these life career paths will not be lower than the extraordinary career paths, at least their importance in the social structure must be equally indispensable.

Cheng Ying has a certain feeling that after making this decision, some changes may occur in the future. The tree of wisdom that was originally difficult to achieve great virtue may be further achieved in the future.

Originally, he thought that his journey would be smooth, to be an honest student in the elf empire, to learn the most abundant magic technology in the world, to enrich his own database, and to do a social survey by the way to see the elf tribe. Whether it can be a help on the road to the rise of mankind.

Although there are all kinds of moths created by Tiandao, the influence of Tiandao is not absolute. The elves are among the many races, and their attitude towards humans is quite mild. Although they still treat humans as low-level species, their civilization is relatively prosperous. They have developed a strong empathy for other species, and they are more likely to drive humans away rather than kill them directly. As the top-ranked force on the continent, there is a certain possibility of winning.

The way of heaven can hinder the development of science and technology, but it cannot prevent the sublimation of wisdom. If the elves can become a truly prosperous, healthy and progressive civilization, it doesn’t matter whether human beings rise or not.

In Chengying’s definition, a truly healthy and progressive civilization treats other races and other civilizations with an absolutely gentle attitude, guiding each other as much as possible and giving them a chance. developed into a prosperous era.

However, it is probably more difficult to make the elves become such a civilization than the rise of humans. Chengying did not have much expectations.

And what happened next also gave him a deeper understanding of the elves. After all, there is a huge difference between races and individuals. Before the era when everyone is like a saint, the individuals of the race will eventually have inferior.

Although Chengying has been sitting in the car, he can feel that his team is driving into a barrier, like a ghost hitting a wall. The driver has not noticed the street scene on both sides for a long time. A big change, I just feel that this road is longer than I remember, but I suspect that I am wrong, after all, this road used to take several days.

“Did you encounter an ambush? It feels like the breath of an elf. Could it be coming at me?” Chengying wasn’t quite sure how he did it, but he had a keen sense of crisis and hid in the barrier The powerhouses in China have been targeting him, so he has always had a sense of crisis.

“This guy… have I offended anyone on the Great Desolate Continent? All the people who have seen my true strength are either dead or trapped in a secret realm forever. Why are you still being targeted when you kill yourself?” Chengying was puzzled, worried that this was some kind of ceremony arranged by the Elf Empire. For example, for the assessment of freshmen, he chose to stay put for the time being.

After all, not everyone can use the Styx Oath to control them, and exposing their strength is a very troublesome thing, especially in the Elf Empire.

He put down the book in his hand, leaned on the carriage and dozed off, giving the opponent a chance to attack. From his sense of crisis, he could tell that the opponent’s strength was between the legendary and the demigod, even if it was really a stronger spiritual position, In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of. Chengying has not been able to successfully expel Bo Luoge from his body for so many days. If he really encounters any danger, this guy can also be used as an invincible plug-in.

As Chengying appeared to have fallen asleep, he felt the space around him distorted, and then he was no longer in the carriage, and he also appeared to be awakened by the fluctuation of space at the right time.

And he was teleported to a jungle. In front of him, stood an elf with a scar on his face. This person’s face looked familiar to him. When he looked carefully, he finally thought about it. Where have you seen this face before?

At that time, it was this guy who attacked from behind and kicked him into the ancient battlefield to close the portal. Chengying probably understood why the other party found him, was trapped in the ancient battlefield, and finally escaped. Others may not notice him. , but the guy who kicked himself down must have noticed, so this guy suspects that he took the Nano Swarm.
