Chapter 931 Necessary Death
"Then I can only hold on for a while, please hurry up, Lieutenant Colonel Wu, I am already very tired. I really don't want to deal with any battle list masters, fierce men on the list, elite mercenaries and assassin killers in the depths of the heavy rain jungle anymore."
Chu Ge said with a bitter face, "I'm just out for vacation. I want to go back to Lion City, go to the beach to bask in the sun, eat barbecue, and watch the beauty!"
"I understand, I've hurt you, after all, I recommended Dr. Li Xinlian to you."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting sighed heavily.
Obviously, he had inferred Dr. Li Xinlian's true identity from the clues left by the enemy in the jungle base, and knew that this female devil had a close relationship with the Tianren Organization, and was one of the masterminds of the outbreak of the mouse tide in the Lion City and the hijacking incident of the Lion Heart Group.
Because of his negligence, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting felt very embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind, lowered his voice and continued, "Listen, Chu Ge, I will help you contact President Yu of the extraordinary association now. Before she or I find you, you must not trust anyone who appears in front of you. Remember, I mean 'anyone'!"
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, and a cold air came out from behind his butt: "What does it mean?"
"Now the opinions of the superiors on how to deal with the "Eternal One" are very chaotic, and the press has some idea about this. All kinds of information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false on the Internet are flying all over the world, causing a sensation."
Lt. Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "In my judgment, the ultimate position of the authorities is most likely to be - to directly erase the immortal and deny her existence."
"What!"
The cool air behind Chu Ge's butt turned into a hard ice cone, poking from his tail vertebra to his cervical vertebra and then into his heart.
In fact, Dr. Li Xinlian guessed that the authorities really want to erase the immortals?
"Why!"
Chu Ge was both angry and puzzled, "The immortals did not commit crimes or cooperated with the authorities. I escorted her to a safe military base and then collected some blood samples for research. It would not harm her life, but also pushed human medical technology and life sciences to a new peak. Isn't this all happy?"
"This is not a joy for everyone, but a major challenge to the existing morality, law, social order and economic system of human civilization. If you are not careful, it will lead to the collapse of the entire civilization."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's statement is exactly the same as Dr. Li Xinlian, "Chu Ge, think about it with your mind, do you think if the immortals really exist, and the authorities can analyze her mysteries and create more immortals, how much will it cost? In the end, who is more likely to achieve immortality? Are those rich people with wealth, or ordinary people who work hard and struggle to survive, but have tens of times more than the rich?
"If all the poor people, ordinary workers, workers and farmers in the world learn that in addition to their bright lights, rich people are rich and extremely luxurious, they have five times, ten times or even countless times longer than them, what do you think will the poor people agree?
"As the saying goes, 'Don't worry about the lack of people but the unevenness', I tell you, there are rumors on the Internet that the authorities have been using the taxes cast by the poor people with their blood and sweat to secretly study immortality technology, and the researched immortality technology will be provided to all elites, rich people, and powerful people as soon as possible.
"These rumors are extremely inflammatory. There is a post saying, "The people work day and night, work overtime, endure the 996, high housing prices, soaring prices, and extra tax deductions. The taxes are used to study immortality for the rich. This is equivalent to these rich people riding on the necks of the people to suck blood on the necks of the people, sucking the lives of the people in exchange for their immortality. These high-ranking officials who steal the power of the alliance, and billionaires are all literally "vampires"!
"Listen, do such posts really look like they were posted by ordinary netizens? It must be the Tianren Organization behind the scenes.
"Now the authorities have not controlled the immortals, they have caused an uproar in the world and chaos in the world. If it is true as you said, the authorities cooperate with the immortals to carry out the research on the "Eternal Life Plan" and the ethnic group will be torn apart in minutes, and the 6990 million ordinary people of the seven billion people on earth will go to war with the ten millionaires!"
Chu Ge smiled bitterly.
Dr. Li Xinlian told him this truth not long ago.
At that time, he ignored it directly with the mentality of "not listening or not listening, turtle chanting scriptures".
But pretending to be an ostrich and burying your head in the sand does not mean that the problem will be solved automatically.
Now, the same problem was spoken from Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting, and Chu Ge could no longer ignore it.
"I certainly disagree with the view that only the rich can live forever."
Chu Ge said, "If the technology of immortality is regarded as a kind of...a vaccine-like public welfare project, which is spent by the authorities, can all citizens on earth share regardless of wealth or poor?"
“Is it that simple?”
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "If you don't say anything else, just say that all retired elderly people in the world can live forever. Who will pay their pensions? Do you think the alliance finance can support hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of elderly people, and always use high pensions to live comfortably?"
"Well……"
Chu Ge scratched his head, speechless.
"Now, most of the retired elderly people in the league in their sixties and seventies are the main force in fighting against the sky and rebuilding their homes in the disaster era. Many of them have made military achievements and enjoyed special allowances. The pension is ridiculously high. The pension of an elderly person can often be worth the salary of two college graduates."
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "Of course I am not a traitor. I have to ignore the contributions of these old people. Not to mention two, even if I ask them to receive a pension equivalent to the salary of three college graduates, I can still live until I die.
"But this is based on the healthiest elderly, and at most it takes twenty or thirty years of retirement.
"If it weren't for twenty or thirty years, but for two or three hundred years or even two or three thousand years of pensions, the alliance's finances would collapse in minutes, and the budget committee would just hang themselves. Which young man would be willing to support these old people who will never die forever?"
"No, no."
Chu Ge thought for a while and said, "Based on my research on the blood of the immortals, if I can really analyze the immortal technology, it can improve my physical condition to a certain extent. Even the elderly may not be in their twilight years. Maybe they don't need a pension and can still come back to work!"
"So, you mean, deprive these retirees of their retirement and drive them back to their jobs?"
Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting Liang Liang said, "There are two questions here. First, how to deprive these elderly people of their pensions? Have you never seen the momentum of these retired elderly people, and they have a pension of one cent less. They dare to rush into the Supreme Council like wolves and tigers to protest? Deprive them all, go back to work? Believe it or not, they overturn the Supreme Council in minutes and ask the Tianren Organization to come back to be the masters of their own country?
"Second, even if they all go back to work, what's the position? Which company, enterprise and public unit are not just one carrot and one pit these days? Where do we want to turn hundreds of millions of jobs into hundreds of millions of jobs for these 'retired elderly people' who have reborn?"
Chu Ge had nothing to say again.
"Since ancient times, the problem of unemployment rate has been the most troublesome thing in all countries. Once the unemployment rate is high, the country will definitely be in turmoil."
Lt. Colonel Wu Zhengting said, "If the so-called 'immortal technology' is used on a large scale, there will be hundreds of millions and tens of billions of energetic but idle people. Looking at the past and present, no country has ever obtained it and can solve such a problem.
"And this is just the most intuitive, easiest to think about, and the most insignificant problem among the tens of thousands of problems brought about by 'eternal life'.
"Agree, Chu Ge, although any country boasts about the health and happiness of its people as its goal, in fact, 'death' is always an indispensable element in our country, civilization, and species' sustainable development.
"It's like the human body needs metabolism, a normal, healthy and powerful country also needs to regularly replenish fresh blood and eliminate old citizens and let them die.
"Why did you know that smoking is harmful to health, but no country has been able to ban smoking in an all-round way throughout the ages? It's very simple. On the one hand, the tobacco industry can provide a lot of taxes to support national development. On the other hand, nicotine can effectively screen the people, allowing those who seek death to die early and reduce the financial burden.
