MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 214 Thousands of roads

In political-related sentences, left and right are often used to represent different political positions.

Traditionally, leftists usually advocate active reform, support social equality, oppose class rule, and advocate the abolition of old ideologies and systems to establish new ideologies and systems; rightists are generally more conservative and believe that social stratification With its naturalness and inevitability, it advocates a stable, orderly, gradual and slow reform method, and emphasizes the maintenance of old traditions [Note].

To put it simply and rudely, the i-Left leans towards populist politics and the i-Right leans towards meritocracy (actually it's a little more complicated).

If it is said that among all the routes that Shang Yinhe has tried, the Crimson Tide is an ultra-left route; then, in his hands, he has actually played an ultra-right route.

Contrary to Shang Yinhe's expectations, this route also received a very high score.

Shang Yinhe called this line: "rule by the foolish people".

In this route, he needs to seize the opportunity of the [United Nations Conference] in the early stage, and at that time, point out the first talent point of the route characteristic of the worldwide "elite decision-making".

The description of this "elite decision" route feature contains the following words:

"This route will greatly divide society, and once it is pointed out, it will bring about subversive changes in the world pattern."

"Please choose carefully."

It's a line that runs alongside the red tide.

The route of the Crimson Tide needs to consume a lot of political points in the early stage, and at the same time conduct various route manipulations in various countries; but in the later stage, basically there is no need for too many operations, and it is completely possible to stand by and wait for the world to turn upside down.

However, contrary to the route of the Crimson Tide, in the characteristics of this "elite decision-making" route, the number of points required in the early stage is very low, and the first talent point only needs 3 political points to point out.

However, after the mid-term, he needed more operations. In the end, Shang Yinhe had to operate the route characteristics of many countries at the same time in order to unlock the last talent point of this elite rule route called "rule by the foolish people". .

And these operations, placed in the entire game world, the situation has changed into such a situation:

At the beginning, the countries reached a collaboration at the United Nations conference, and the five permanent members of the United Nations will be the core to lead the military of the world to fight in multiple positions.

This looks like a very normal start. But slowly, things started to change.

"For the future of mankind, we need a more rational brain to direct the direction, and a more intelligent brain to study the future!"

A politician made this statement publicly at a United Nations General Assembly.

Underneath this remark is a plan, named "The Guider Plan".

In this plan, scientists, politicians, economists and other people with high IQs from all over the world will be organized to become leaders of the entire society.

On the surface, this plan seemed very correct, and soon won the approval of the whole world, and began to be officially implemented.

In the early stage of this route, there was basically no requirement for political points. Accordingly, in the overall situation of the game, after only a little guidance, this plan naturally came into effect.

Then, everything started to go wrong.

Humanity needs a more efficient rule, so the improper speech in the network is controlled;

Human beings need a more centripetal atmosphere, so the public opinion environment has naturally changed;

The greater good of humanity requires sacrifices from a part of the population, and this sacrifice will naturally be chosen from among the dumber and more ignorant.

In many countries, in many places, little by little, the elites have more power.

They carved a huge, almost irreparable rift with the others. .

Finally, when everything was ready, the last talent point of the elite rule path, "rule of the people", was lit up.

What is a fool?

The ancient dynasties of China once regarded this policy as a standard, and almost regarded it as the foundation of the country. The so-called "I don't know what I don't know, follow the rules of the sky", "Whether it is a matter of the court, a matter of the people, or even a local matter, the common people have no right to speak or hear." The common people live in poverty, and they will not resist until they starve to death; what scholars advocate is to keep their ears out of the window and only read the books of the sages.

As a result, no matter how bad the rule and the cruel exploitation are, the entire dynasty can be maintained, until there is no bottom line, and the day will be changed to restart the reincarnation of the dynasty.

Even in modern times, this phenomenon has not ceased.

Bhutan is known as the country with the "highest people's happiness" in Asia. There, most places are not connected to the Internet, the infrastructure is extremely backward, and the people's lives are closed.

And it is precisely because of the isolation that there will be no gap without comparison, so that the people of Bhutan live comfortably and happily, and they are able to despise the rest of Asia in the happiness survey every year.

In the information on the game panel, the emotion of a leader at that time was specially recorded:

"In modern society, the more you know, the more anxious you become, and the more you see, the more fearful you will become. Sometimes, it's better to live without knowing anything, so that you can enjoy true happiness and peace."

Is this sentence wrong?

It doesn't seem to be wrong.

However, when Shang Yinhe read this sentence, he only felt chills all over his body.

"6 months game time is over."

"This progress is completed, and settlement begins."

"World Unification: 73%"

"Future Development Efficiency: Class A"

"Future Destruction Possibilities: Low Level"

"The overall evaluation level of this game: S level"

"Meet the clearance conditions for the B-level evaluation level. Do you choose this progress as the final progress?"

"Please note that after confirming the final progress, the game world will be closed, the customs clearance will be completed, and the world settlement will begin."

The second S-rank evaluation grade!

This route has little bloodshed and few conflicts. Compared to the Scarlet Wave route, which also received an S grade, it is extremely gentle and can be compared to the "Glorious Revolution", the first bloodless revolution in history. Compete.

But looking at the seemingly simple and seemingly ordinary text descriptions, Shang Yinhe seemed to have goosebumps all over his body.

This is indeed a good route, and it is indeed suitable for a race like humans who are keen on infighting.

but…

Shang Yinhe was stunned at the settlement panel for a long time, and finally gave up the submission progress and clicked the [Restart] button instead.

He is not a novice in politics. Before entering this game world, he has some understanding of politics; and the many information and data in the game world have helped him take a big step on the road of political understanding.

If this road continues, what kind of future will it lead to?

Shang Yinhe didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.

After all, whether he is Jiuqu or Shang Yinhe, he will definitely be in the ruler's class.

If Shang Yinhe was a little more selfish and bold, he might have submitted this path directly as the final outcome.

— but he didn't.

When the frog is boiled, the frog will not feel that death is imminent. If Shang Yinhe chose such a path, would the divided lower-class people quietly die out like the frogs that were boiled to death...

In addition to these two highly rated extreme left and extreme right routes, Shang Yinhe also tried another interesting route, which he called "China's hegemony".

To be a flower of the motherland born under the red flag, Shang Yinhe has a heart that is biased towards China in the part of his body that is "Shang Yinhe".

So, in a game, he suddenly became interested, and wanted to try it out to see if he could come up with an ending in which China dominates.

Constantly archive-reading, and constantly trying various routes, in the end, Shang Yinhe was surprised to find that this route still has such a glimmer of possibility that it can be successful.

It's just that the requirements for strategy are relatively high.

If you follow this route, then Shang Yinhe needs to point out the [Technology Explosion] route characteristic in the route characteristics of China.

Corresponding to the game world, when Huaguo's Lingshi new energy technology is developed, there will be more and more exaggerated series of technological revolutions in Huaguo, including but not limited to: the technological revolution of power space, The revolution of supernatural medical technology, the revolution of supernatural ability control, the revolution of strengthening human body quality, etc.

With the help of this series of technological explosions, the comprehensive strength of Huaguo will rise rapidly in the form of an index.

But if it is just doing this, then China will become the target of public criticism and will be under great pressure from other countries.

Therefore, Shang Yinhe needs to point out a talent point of [Intrigue] on the route characteristics of the world pattern, and point out a route that weakens other countries. You don't need to click too much, just click the first talent point of this route.

In this case, in the early stage, countries will be suspicious of each other and vigilant against each other, wasting a lot of time, leaving a lot of room for China's dull development.

But this is not enough. China's technological development cannot be concealed, and it will take enough time for technological development to become real productive forces and comprehensive national strength. If you only follow the world pattern of "intrigue and deceit", then in the middle of China's technological development, it will attract pressure from all over the world. All countries require China to expand and share technology, and China cannot afford this. kind of pressure.

At times like this, it's time for the back pot man to play.

Shang Yinhe has read the archive many times and made various attempts, and finally found a very perfect route.

That is: click on the [War Expansion] route of the Maoxiong Kingdom.

After pointing out this route, it is naturally displayed in the world pattern of the game as:

Due to the influence of the new energy revolution, the domestic resource economy of Maoxiong country has completely declined. He was an extremely courageous leader and had no choice but to start a war and pass on domestic pressure in the form of war.

This way of transferring economic pressure in the form of war happened countless times in World War I and World War II. There is a saying that "there is nothing new under the sun". In the eyes of ordinary people in this game world, the expansion of the war in the Maoxiong Kingdom is unexpected, but reasonable.

From Shang Yinhe's point of view, this operation is to use Mao Xiong Guo as a target, so that they can attract the attention of the world in the early stage, prevent Hua Guo from becoming the target of public criticism, and also fully pave the way for Hua Guo's follow-up hegemony route.

When this series of operations is completed, the time delay is sufficient, and the comprehensive national strength of China has risen to a relatively exaggerated level, you can click on the [War Expansion] route of China.

Although the name of the route is called [War Outward Expansion], the outward expansion of the Hua Kingdom and the outer expansion of the Maoxiong Kingdom are different routes. Probably the Chinese are very particular about "do not learn from the unknown". In the end, under the banner of justice and resistance to evil, they added strength to the war alliance against the Maoxiong Kingdom, and through this war they competed for the three continents of Eurasia and Africa, and then used Eurasia and Africa. Three continents as the center continue to expand...

Under the pressure of technology that seems to be separated by an entire generation, Hua Guo's offensive can be said to be overwhelming.

In 6 months, although the rest of the country cannot be destroyed, it can still make China reluctantly become the world's well-deserved overlord.

"World Unification: 38%"

"Future Development Efficiency: Class B"

"Future Destruction Possibilities: Intermediate"

"The overall evaluation level of the game in this game: Grade B"

"Meet the clearance conditions for the B-level evaluation level. Do you choose this progress as the final progress?"

"Please note that after confirming the final progress, the game world will be closed, the customs clearance will be completed, and the world settlement will begin."

This route will kill a lot of people, and it will also waste a lot of resources. Even the final evaluation is not very high, there is only one B grade.

Shang Yinhe reluctantly looked at the brief description of the five-star red flag spreading everywhere, and finally clicked the [Restart] button.

—Cough cough, let me tell you my heart, it’s really a little cool to do this...

This is a very exciting game.

After ending the game for the countless times, Shang Yinhe made such an evaluation of this [World Situation] game in his heart.

It's not that kind of visual, physical stimulation, but a higher-level spiritual stimulation.

Since the whole game is a real world map, everything is very real, what Shang Yinhe does can really easily cause turmoil in the world.

He understands that the seemingly simple numerical changes and the seemingly simple text descriptions contain countless real **** storms, so he can feel the thrill of subverting the situation even more.

If a game like [The Creator] is more like manipulating the world from the perspective of a god; then this [World Wind and Cloud] game is like guiding the world from a human perspective.

All development has an inevitable source.

In the line of "China's hegemony", why did the Maoxiong Kingdom start the war and expand the line?

At that time, the glory of the two poles of the Soviet world had not completely dissipated, and only the remains of the increasingly weak giant remained in the ice and snow. Lingshi New Energy tore up the last fig leaf of this country, and those who could not bear it finally stood up. Get up, shout "Ulla" and "Dawarich", and start a crazy road of destroying yourself without destroying the world.

To put it another way, in other parts of the route, why did the Maoxiong country not start the war expansion route?

The economic strength of the Maoxiong country has greatly declined, and its economic strength and industrial base are simply unable to support this country to launch a long-term war. The afterglow of war left over from the Soviet era is still blessing the country, but it is only a shell that is inherently weak. Rational people know that they cannot rely on these to launch foreign wars.

It is very convincing to explain it this way; it is also very convincing to explain it that way.

History is like a white paper that can be smeared by anyone, and all patterns can be interpreted in any way.

And the invisible hand behind it, as if it didn't exist.

This is the most frightening place in this game world.

—And such seemingly non-existent guidance has happened in those places before...

In the following time, Shang Yinhe tried some different routes, but neither the score nor the process was as good as the previous rounds.

Because in this game world, a game lasts as long as 6 months, even if there is a 100-fold acceleration, each game will take Shang Galaxy for a long time.

Sometimes, while playing, Shang Yinhe would be in a daze, constantly recalling the details of the previous games.

The ancients often said that kindness does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth.

Shang Yinhe sometimes thinks that if a colder and more rational person stands in his position, maybe he can really choose the better result for human beings with reason.

However, he doesn't seem to be able to.

He looked at the high-rated ending of the Crimson Tide, he looked at the no-casualty ending of the rule of ignorance, and he watched the grand unification ending of the Chinese nation's hegemony, and finally gave up the submission and clicked the [Restart] button.

In the [Pet Kingdom], he has heard the cries and wailing of countless hearts in the wish-trading hall; he has seen countless wars and gunpowder on the front line of the Third World War.

In the world of games, life may be just a small number, the smallest and most inconspicuous "1" in six billion, but in real life, it represents a living person after all.

Those roads may be good, but those bloods are really dazzling, and those futures are really disturbing.

At the end of each game, looking at the [Submit Ending] button, Shang Yinhe at that time asked himself:

Did you do your best?

Did you try all the possibilities?

Is there another possibility, a road that does not have too much blood, a more balanced future, and a high score?

There may be a dilemma in the world, but in a game world where files can be read and saved indefinitely, in this game world where time is completely static and infinite deductions are allowed, perhaps, he can really find a way to achieve both.

When he thought of this, Shang Yinhe could be more calm, and press the [Restart] button to start a new game.

He wants to try more, and he has a responsibility to try more.

The name "Jiuqu" represents the trust and worship of countless people, as well as the responsibility and burden of the entire world.

He wants a clear conscience.

If so.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

A very strong desire to survive solemnly declare:

In this game, all game routes are virtual and belong to the deduction in the overhead world.

In the world of this novel, as written in this chapter, only a more peaceful course remains in the end.
