The Age of Gods: My Entry is Updated Daily
Chapter 86 Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain...
When Lu Sheng got up early in the morning and did his routine inspection of the small world, he immediately saw the empty mountain mine and the human overseer who had fainted to the side, and his mind cleared instantly.
The production of spirit stone mines is currently the largest industry in his country, producing spirit stone ore worth two billion every day, which is of great importance!
There is also basalt crystal ore, which is the only source of materials for the Divine Kingdom to manufacture advanced weapons.
You have to understand that weapons are consumables. Lu Sheng's people have been fighting in the demon world for sixty years, and their weapons have long been worn out.
The college entrance exam is just two months away, a time when we desperately need to forge our talents, and you're going on strike?
"This is outrageous!" Lu Sheng's face showed a rare hint of anger.
He originally thought that after the stone man received various attribute bonuses and gained intelligence, he would be able to greatly increase the efficiency of mining.
Unexpectedly, while efficiency did increase, new problems arose.
Lu Sheng shifted his consciousness above Yu Zou, intending to teach these stone men a lesson, only to discover that Yu Zou had already learned about the stone men's strike and was holding a meeting to discuss solutions.
Small World, Yancheng, City Lord's Mansion.
The large living room was filled with important figures from Yan City. The person in the main seat was naturally Yu Zou, or more accurately, the mechanical puppet controlled by Yu Zou.
At this moment, Yu Zou himself is refining his spiritual root in the spiritual energy refining well and cannot get away for the time being, so he can only preside over the meeting in this form.
"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on the Stone Men's strike?" Yu Zou asked.
"Hmph! These mere low-level stone men were born to be slaves to us humans. Now they dare to turn against their masters. They are truly courting death! In my opinion, we should just deal with all the leading third-tier stone men. The rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals will naturally behave themselves!" A Nascent Soul elder sneered, his words full of racial discrimination against the stone men.
And this impression wasn't just held by one person; his words quickly resonated with many others present.
"That's right. The stone man is nothing but a lowly slave. Even if he has evolved to the third tier, killing him is fine. The important thing is to resume production as soon as possible."
"If you ask me, the overseers we sent before were too weak. Now that the Divine Kingdom is at peace, we should just send an army to suppress them. Anyone who resists will be killed. Then, which stone man will dare to disobey us?"
"That's right..."
However, compared to these radicals who are eager to use force to suppress the protests, there are also some gentler approaches that have been proposed.
"Lord Yu, didn't the Stone Clan demand that we reduce our daily work hours from 23 hours to 20 hours? That's not an unreasonable demand, so why don't we agree to it?" Chen Guang said.
But this statement was immediately met with opposition from the public.
They considered compromising with the stone men an insult and strongly disagreed with this statement.
"Chen Guang, this method is indeed inappropriate."
Yu Zou also rejected this method: "Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped. If we agree to the stone man's request today and reduce our daily working hours to 20 hours, won't the next time he ask for 19 hours, and the time after that, won't he ask for 18 hours?"
"I've noticed that the stone figures, perhaps influenced and transformed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, have developed intelligence comparable to that of humans. Such stone figures wouldn't complain about having too much rest time..."
"I have learned my lesson." Chen Guang suddenly realized his mistake, lowered his head in shame, and retreated.
The others were delighted, but Yu Zou immediately poured cold water on their hopes: "Your methods are unreliable too. Forceful suppression will only provoke the stone golems' resentment and hatred. Even if you kill this group of leaders, there will be other stone golem leaders, one after another. Do you want to kill all the stone golems and then have us humans mine them?"
"Who among you will take responsibility for delaying our God's important affairs?"
Everyone was speechless.
Although the stone men are not particularly strong, they possess innate superhuman strength and a unique physical structure, allowing them to mine at a speed far exceeding that of other races.
One Tier 1 Stone Golem is equivalent to seven or eight Tier 1 Human Warriors.
This was before she developed intelligence; now it will probably happen even faster.
At this moment, Lu Sheng, who was 10,000 meters above the ground in the small world, also fell into deep thought.
Stone figures are indeed worthless. Even if there were hundreds of thousands of them, with his current funds, they would only be a drop in the ocean.
However, the stone figures bought from the mall are completely different from the stone figures that have lived in the small world for hundreds of years and reproduced for generations.
The former has a very low level of faith in themselves, and receives very little bonus from their talents; ten of them probably wouldn't be as good as one now.
Lu Sheng's current small world is too small. Too many living beings will only reduce the living space for the human race, thus hindering its development.
"So, what will you do?" Lu Sheng looked down again, his eyes filled with anticipation.
In their little world, after brainstorming together, Yu Zou finally established a solution and began to explain his ideas one by one.
"The reason those stone men went on strike is simply because they want freedom and rest... Chen Guang, take some men to the Northern Mountains, first take control of the group of stone men who are leading the strike, and then tell the other stone men that they don't need to reduce their working hours. As long as they work for ten years, they will never have to work again."
Chen Guang asked doubtfully, "What about ten years from now? Are we really going to set them free?"
"How is that possible?"
Yu Zou sneered and asked, "Do you know that when a stone man dies, he doesn't immediately lose his life, but rather decomposes into smaller stone men?"
Chen Guang was startled, vaguely guessing what was going on.
Yu Zou continued, "But at the same time, when the stone man decomposes into smaller stone men, they will lose their original memories and become new, independent life forms."
"Once they have worked for ten years, we will take them away, kill them, and turn them into little stone men. Then we will send the little stone men back. Ten years is enough time for them to grow up, thus creating a positive cycle."
"And those high-ranking stone golems who were controlled used them to spread the message to the remaining stone golems that the idea of freedom could be deeply ingrained in their minds as long as they worked hard for ten years!"
"We can even take advantage of their sense of unity. As long as we dig through a mining area, we can immediately reward all the stone figures in that area with 'freedom'... With something to look forward to, the stone figures will work hard on their own, perhaps without any supervision, for the sake of their friends and family."
Upon hearing this, everyone present admired Yu Zou's strategy and applauded.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
"Master Yu is truly resourceful and wise; he is indeed a veteran!"
"…………That's what we'll do!"
The plan was quickly implemented, and the stone men who were on strike at the northern mines cheered upon hearing the result, believing that their resistance had been victorious.
In the following months, mining efficiency improved significantly.
Even the stone figures that died of exhaustion along the way believed they had made a great contribution to the stone figures of the entire region, and they still had a smile on their faces when they died.
"We'll do it even if it kills us!"
"Let's create a bright future for the Stone People!"
"Keep going! Keep digging until you break through the vein and welcome the glorious freedom!"
