Collapse, surrender to me!

Page 603

In this process, due to the technological gap, everything has become extremely cheap.

Giants in various industries have all encountered dimensionality reduction attacks from newly emerging similar companies with higher technological levels.

Stocks all over the world began to collapse, and countless people lost their jobs overnight.

In Kiritsugu's eyes, the original pattern of the world's wealth being in the hands of 1% of the people began to collapse.

Everything was converging on him.

All resistance during this period collapsed under his godlike and devilish power.

Kiritsugu is following the path explored by his predecessors.

Material wealth is extremely abundant, and consumer goods are distributed according to needs. Social relations are highly harmonious, and people's spiritual realm is greatly improved. Everyone develops freely and comprehensively, and mankind leaps from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom.

He is trying to achieve these descriptions in his own way.

Finally, after who knows how many years.

The advancement of science and technology has given rise to an unprecedented explosion in productivity, and people seem to be in a new era full of miracles.

In this era, robots, artificial intelligence and automation technologies have become an integral part of people's lives.

With the rapid growth of productivity, the face of society is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

The traditional labor model is gradually being eliminated, and people no longer need to work continuously to survive.

Instead, they begin to have more free time to pursue the things that really interest them.

……

In a mountain villa, Shirou Emiya woke up early and started his day facing the rising sun.

Shirou is an intelligent agricultural engineer who is responsible for managing the city's crops.

These crops are not ordinary plants. They are carefully cultivated through gene editing and nanotechnology. They can self-regulate growing conditions according to environmental changes to ensure the best quality fruits are harvested every year.

In the morning, Shirou only needs to check the data through his smart watch to know the growth status of all crops.

Today, the data showed that all indicators were very ideal, which made him in a good mood.

Decided to go to the village's public canteen for breakfast and bring some back for my dad.

In Shirou's heart, his father is a very peculiar person.

Although in this communist society, there is no gap between the rich and the poor, no wars and conflicts, everyone can live a happy and harmonious life.

But it is not without conflict.

When material needs are met, people begin to pursue spiritual goals.

Robots that can do all kinds of work, however, provide rigid and limited spiritual needs.

To put it in today's terms, after a long time, you will feel like you have no soul.

Because you know it's just a bunch of programs.

As a result, many problems arose.

How can artworks be distributed according to demand? Who live in houses with convenient transportation and excellent scenery? Who live in houses on the edge of suburbs with poor transportation? Whose children do famous teachers in communist society teach? Who do the most famous custom clothing designers and interior designers serve? Who do the top chefs cook for first? And who do the best talents in all walks of life serve first?

These require you to do something to accumulate contribution points before you can redeem them.

Everyone in this world is trying to do what they want in exchange for these special resources.

But in Shirou's eyes, his father had never done anything.

The whole day is like a machine on standby.

……

Shirou's father is naturally Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu worked hard for who knows how long, and finally achieved a certain degree of peace.

At least that's the case now.

In this era, the concept of country no longer exists. Everyone knows that the entire human society is controlled by the absolutely fair heart of God.

This optical computer machine called the Heart of God will redistribute all wealth.

And give reasons for the allocation.

Some people feel dissatisfied, but it is all within controllable range.

But Kiritsugu did not feel very happy about the current situation.

Because this is contrary to his original goal.

When material needs are met, the next thing to do is:

To each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

People are complicated. Some people have few needs, just enough to have food to eat. Some people are as rich as a country, but still can't satisfy their greed. What's worse, some people get pleasure from stepping on others and need to infringe on others' interests. What should we do about this?

Kiritsugu hadn't come up with any good solution in the long years.

Hence the Heart of God.

It has changed from everyone taking what they need to forced distribution.

I still put my own standards above others. What's the difference from before?

After all, he was the one who set the criteria for distributing God's Heart.

And this standard is the "justice" in his mind.

But in the eyes of many people, this standard of justice is actually evil.

Kiritsugu would naturally not change his standards because of other people, and he would not question his own justice.

But the problem now is that he feels that he has not achieved peace, but is just treating all of humanity like pigs.

Kiritsugu met a doctor not long ago.

The doctor felt that his work was meaningless.

He has an intelligent medical system that makes recommendations based on other people's health data, such as dietary adjustments, exercise plans, etc. Based on these recommendations, he will communicate with others one-on-one to help them achieve a healthier lifestyle.

But he found that his job seemed redundant.

Because of the heart of God who is high above, the materials allocated are perfectly suited to the physical condition of that person.

There was nothing he could do except reminding her to eat well.

If that were all, it would be fine.

But more importantly, he often encounters patients who have to take restrictive drugs that require specific applications for treatment.

Yet when he applied to the Heart of God, he was rejected.

Because that person did not meet Kiritsugu's standards of justice.

If he dies, it will benefit the country and the people, but if he lives, he will cause harm to others, so there is no need to save him.

……

Kiritsugu felt more and more that the earth was the pigsty he had built.

The daily distribution is to spread feed to the pigs.

Sprinkle more on thin pigs and less on fat pigs.

Kill the sick pigs.

As for each doing his best and each taking what he needs…

His absolutely fair distribution has stifled the principle of everyone taking what they need in communist society.

In the final analysis, if God's Heart considers your behavior unworthy of these things based on Kiritsugu's standards, you won't get anything. On the contrary, if it meets the standards set by Emiya Kiritsugu, then your needs will not be rejected.

So even though people in this world seem to be doing all kinds of things, there is a sense of disharmony everywhere.

But if we really let these people do what they want, the world will quickly collapse, and even the current superficial peace will not be able to be maintained.

Unless the moral standards of everyone in this world are extremely high.

Or... the moral standards of the whole world should be aligned with Kiritsugu's.

Is this raising people like pigs on Earth, or giving birth to billions of Emiya Kiritsugu under the domestication of Beijun?

Whenever Kiritsugu thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Emiya Shirou was adopted by Kiritsugu, but he respects Kiritsugu very much.

He put down the meal he brought back for Kiritsugu.

In recent years, he has become increasingly aware of his father's confused and fearful state that he reveals from time to time.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Shirou asked.

"..."

Kiritsugu looked back and suddenly asked.

"Do you think that if the Heart of God disappears one day, will everyone be happy?"

"Ah? Without the Heart of God, we will have nothing to eat, right?"

"No, you'll just get more."

Kiritsugu shook his head.

If it weren't for his forced distribution, even if everyone in the world wanted to have a life of luxury, the energy consumed would be just a drop in the bucket.

"……Is it really possible?"

After a while, just as Kiritsugu shook his head and prepared to turn around, Emiya Shirou spoke with an excited tone.

"Dad, you know what? I became an industrial engineer and thought there were big scissors for gardening, but there aren't any. The plants will shed the useless parts by themselves... And the chefs, the ingredients are handled by special robots, they don't even touch the knives, and all they can provide are cooking ideas..."

"If possible, I want a sword, no, many, many swords!"

"It's really cool! If I had a lot of swords, I would wake myself up looking cool every day!"

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu was stunned.

He didn't seem to understand why Shirou liked this kind of thing.

But the light in his eyes was something he had never seen before.

No, he had seen it before.

But no one knows when these lights disappeared from human eyes.

Shirou is still young now, and perhaps when he grows up, he will become like the others.

Become a pig, or another Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Is that so... Then, I'll give you this sword."

Kiritsugu sighed.
