Chapter 867 Heroes and Disasters

“Are those who return from the abyss heroes or disasters?”

One year, such a question appeared in the official examination of Dawn City.

After a long period of education and propaganda, most people believe that the returning abyss explorers are heroes.

They sacrificed their own safety, used their mortal bodies to fight against the unknown abyss, and devoted their meager strength to the pursuit of the future of mankind.

Although humans have been trying to avoid the abyss's interference with normal technological development, the development of human civilization as a whole is still uncontrollably tilting towards the abyss.

Human beings no longer explore space, but instead look into the deep holes and the bizarre worlds inside.

These technology companies, led by Yuanxin Technology, have been absorbing talent on a large scale, ignoring official warnings, and mixing various technologies brought back from the abyss into the normal technological development of mankind. They have also used relics and abyss creatures to make various "magic changes" to normal technologies.

As a result, humanity's technological level has experienced a huge explosion, and those who risked their lives to bring technology and relics out of the dangerous abyss are naturally regarded as heroes.

The authorities are unable to stop the deviation of the development direction of civilization, so they can only choose to take action themselves, use their remaining influence to tie up various technology companies, and use the technologies that have been modified to prevent the influence of the abyss from further deepening.

Human beings have compromised with the abyss, and only compromise can prevent the entire human civilization from sliding completely into the abyss.

Over the past fifty years, the government, technology companies, and the abyss have formed a stable triangle that no one can shake. Human civilization has also ushered in more vigorous development in this stable environment.

But the authorities are still wary of every "hero" returning from the abyss.

They are heroes, but also disasters.

In the short history of mankind, we have had many experiences that powerful force can be a protective shield or a sword hanging over our heads.

Human hearts are complicated, and not everyone who enters the abyss does so for the future of humanity.

Some people seek powerful strength, some seek fame and fortune, and some seek the desires buried deep in their hearts that cannot be satisfied by human society.

The authorities know this and are also aware of the uncontrollability of human hearts and power.

The abyss has already told humans this:

Power and cost exist at the same time.

There is no power that comes without a price.

In order to warn those who enter the abyss, the authorities specifically wrote "price" at the very beginning when compiling the relic information.

“The price is the most important thing.”

In order to have a steady stream of new forces entering the abyss, the authorities had to revise the textbooks, change the education system, control the propaganda channels, and define those who entered the abyss as "heroes."

This can create a "positive" role model for the new generation, and also make them yearn for the abyss, so that when they grow up, they will actively explore the abyss.

"We still need some people to pursue the future of mankind."

At the same time, the authorities are also trying their best to control the spread of negative news to prevent those scums who have returned from the abyss from bringing bad influence to society.

Relic crimes, abuse of abyss technology, abyss biological experiments... these negative news will be curbed in time and will not spread too widely on the media network. Everyone tacitly treats these incidents as individual cases.

However, these incidents continue to occur.

Propaganda can be controlled, but people’s hearts cannot be controlled.

It is difficult for these people who have been changed by the abyss to return to normal life.

The best way to deal with these completely changed "Abyss Superhumans" is...

"Tell them not to come back."

It is a treasure when in use and a worn-out shoe when discarded.

We only need to bring back technology and intelligence, and we don't need to bring back relics and people. Without effective control, these forces will only become a disaster.

The authorities are well aware of the terrible cost of the relics. Their unlimited use will definitely bring about a catastrophe to human civilization.

We can only be cautious and cautious again to nip any signs in the bud.

These "Abyss Superhumans" just need to stay in the Abyss...

Li Luo looked at the electronic screen in front of him and sighed helplessly.

She was very clear about the official intentions and knew what was the best option.

For human society, these people are like uncontrollable time bombs that may explode at any time.

However, no one can accept being thrown here like this and being treated as a "prisoner" and locked up.

Li Luo finally understood why this "Dream City Prison City Development Plan" was blocked layer by layer and stored at the bottom of the dream network.

Once the residents of Mengdu know the official intentions, they will definitely not be able to accept it and will riot.

Those with good tempers can understand the official approach, but those with bad tempers will definitely start "bombing the city".

All of these people who came to Dream City were "dangerous elements", some of them had relics, and some of them had various powerful powers. It would not be difficult for them to unite and destroy this "prison"...

The "Dream City Prison City Development Plan" also states that the physical and mental health of the Abyss Superhumans should be given priority, and their sense of belonging should be enhanced. This is actually to prevent them from realizing that this is a prison.

"Let them sink into the Internet, entertain themselves to death, provide them with abundant supplies, and let them truly regard Dream City as a harbor in the abyss, as a 'home' where they can live forever."

The more comfortable the prisoners are, the easier it is to run the prison.

Therefore, in order to ensure this, Mengdu hides the essence of "prison" from beginning to end.

The original purpose is buried at the bottom of the database, wrapped in layers of neon, to meet the physical and psychological needs of all prisoners, allowing them to slowly fall into this carefully woven "dream".

"As long as the prisoners don't think this is a prison, they won't escape."

Under the control of Mengwang, Mengdu is developing better and better, becoming more and more comfortable, and increasingly able to meet people's needs.

Big data accurately controls the psychology of the "prisoners", making these people trapped in their sweet dreams sleep deeper and deeper...

"It's all just a dream. If they don't know this is a prison until they die, then this is not a prison..."

Li Luo looked at the electronic screen and felt a deep sense of suffocation.

Mengdu, is it really a dream?
……

The truth came too suddenly, and Li Luo's thoughts were still a little confused.

She turned her head and looked at the cube.

"Did you bring me here just to let me see this truth?"

"Actually..." Li Luo paused and said softly, "It makes no difference to me whether I know the truth or not."

"Do you think this is too cruel for the residents of Dream City?"

She was very curious as to why Fangkuai had secretly brought her here and let her know this secret...

Soon, an electronic screen was transmitted. Li Luo quickly picked it up and took a look. Surprisingly, it did not show Fang Kuai's answer, but two simple words:

run.
