Chapter 1038: Outdated World, New Goals
"religion?"
When Steve heard Smith Zhou suddenly mention this word, he immediately frowned deeply.
"You mean, the attitude of life that humans here have has has to do with religion?"
"Steve, you must understand that the formation of any lifestyle and attitude cannot be compared to the long and lasting subtle influence. And in this long influence, there will never be a more effective existence in religion. The wisdom of gods is above mortals. As their tool for ruling mortals, the role of religion is absolutely beyond your imagination."
Steve did not completely believe these words. He had his own judgment. He took his own feelings as experience and immediately refuted Steve.
"I've been exposed to religion, but I don't feel that religion is as terrible as you say."
"Are you talking about Christianity?" After understanding what Steve said, Smith Zhou's face immediately had a playful smile. "Believe me, man. If you have experienced the dark medieval era ruled by Christianity, you would never think so. It was not the era of aristocrats and missionaries as they said in textbooks. In that era, what the foolish people did could break your bottom line."
Steve was not very suspicious about this. Because he knew very well that the person in front of him came from that era. The history he knew was just a memory for Smith Zhou. Comparing true memories with the history written by others, it is already an self-evident question which one you believe more.
However, Steve was not so easily convinced. He looked at the Indians who looked at him with weird looks. After carefully speculating on their situation, he asked.
"I still can't imagine. Just a religion, can it turn them into this weird and numb look?"
"You must know that the educational ability of some religions is very terrible. And on this land, there is still a system that complements the ability of religion. The caste system, an ancient and distinct system. This system can cooperate with the religion here. It can make more than 90% of the poor humans equivalent to slaves in this country be accustomed to their lives or even satisfy them. I said, there are not a few examples like that child, he is just a microcosm of countless Indians. If you look carefully, you will see more."
Putting Steve's shoulder, Smith Zhou gently tapped the book in front of him with his finger. And under his touch, all the words in the book seemed to have come alive, pieced together into vivid figures, and interpreted vivid stories.
This is a story full of ridicule. It also deeply reveals everything behind this country to Steve.
He saw that the living of the high caste Indians was no different from the rich people of the developed countries he remembered. Luxury cars, villas, neat and magnificent living environments and various luxurious banquets filled every minute and every second of their lives. And under the city where they lived, poor humans, who were hundreds of times as poor as them, enjoyed their little life in poverty.
Countless people live in small shacks on the beach. By planting fresh vegetables in the beach, picking up garbage everywhere in exchange for sparse coins, and then maintaining their difficult life.
He saw the rich man asking the goldsmith to make gold into exquisite bracelets and necklaces, and wear them on his wife and daughter. He also saw a group of poor people who rely on cleaning the dust under the jewelers, and even drilled into the sewer to extract sludge to extract gold. They spent days and nights of sleeplessness to refine such a small amount of gold.
He saw the rich people of high castes trample on the lives and dignity of the lowly cunts they saw. Under the operation of the law and the government, the rich people became victims. At one point, this disgusting behavior even put a legal cloak on it.
He also saw that the two young people who were truly in love were shaking sharp blades by the angry crowd and slashing their heads off just because of the gap and mismatch between their identities.
More than 90% of the people in this country live in a bad environment that he can't imagine or believe. And on this same land, some people live in luxury and comfort. Such severe polarization, if we look at it from a modern person, even if there is no such thing as the French liberal revolution in that year, at least there will be some uncontrollable unrest like the Middle East.
But there is nothing here. The superiors enjoy the life of the superiors. No matter how hard the inferiors live, they seem to be able to find their own happiness. It is as if they are not living in a world. If the reason is, the magnificent temples that have never stopped incense give Steve a good explanation.
At this time, Steve didn't believe what Smith Zhou said.
Although he changed his identity and mentality, Steve's most fundamental wish has not changed. He always hoped to benefit mankind. In the past, he protected mankind, but now he hoped Smith Zhou, hoping that he could realize the better future he promised to belong to mankind in this world.
Smith Zhou has always claimed that he would give mankind the brightest future. He will become the master of mankind's future and create a new era that belongs only to mankind. Steve believes all that he said, and it immediately made him realize that he said so much that it was not just an excuse for himself. So he immediately asked.
"That's your purpose. Did you put your next goal here?"
Steve's understanding was quite satisfying to Smith Zhou. After he said such words, Smith Zhou immediately laughed and pointed at the group of humans who were completely insensitive in their eyes. Then he said to Steve word by word.
"Look at how they look. You think they are alive, but can you really say they are alive? Or you don't pursue, or you just want to chase a little leftover. Can such a living be called a human? It's just a walking corpse."
"And so, as the master of future human beings, shouldn't I think something to change all this? I think you should also feel disgusted with everything here! Do you think they are too annoying to those endless greed people or those outdated people who stick to the rules and are unwilling to make any changes? Do you have no other thoughts on these insensitive walking corpses in front of you?"
Smith Zhou said, the meaning expressed in his words was obvious. Steve had no opinion on this.
He understood Smith Zhou's attitude and agreed with his attitude. He had already had the impulse and thoughts to change him for this country. However, he had to discuss the specific approach with Smith Zhou again. Because now, their strength has already been greatly lost.
"I understand what you mean. I agree with your point of view. There is only one thing I need to say to you clearly, that is, our strength may not change this country. You must know that if we want to eradicate the deep-rooted stubborn disease of this country with a population of more than one billion, it is impossible to do without a strong enough force. In this regard, we still need a certain amount of accumulation and precipitation. Because last time, our losses were too great."
"I've heard of your failure in your schedule, but I lacked enough understanding of the specific situation. What's going on?"
"It was originally going according to the plan. But I didn't expect that there was an existence outside the plan in the middle of the way."
Steve had no intention of being taboo about his failure. He told Smith Zhou everything in a straightforward way.
"The intelligent life called Ultron has been out of Stark's control and has been involved in our plan according to his own wishes. Our plan was cut off by it. In addition to bringing back relevant research and treatment, the other two goals were not successful. The responsible doctors were probably dead. The Kerry Starman's appearance warship also completely fell into the hands of Ultron. It can be said that he became the biggest winner of this operation. In contrast, both us and Stark were both losers at the gambling table!"
"No, you should say that Stark is a bigger loser than us. After all, we still have some gains. He invested huge resources in vain, but he got nothing. I think he would be so angry when he learned the news, and you have definitely been scolded by him more than once or twice."
"Curging a team of women with vicious words doesn't help but be more useful than a team of superheroes if it works?"
Steve replied calmly that he had no emotional fluctuations at the possible curse that Smith Zhou said. This was within Smith Zhou's expectations. His confidant general should be a calm existence without showing his emotions. Of course, what he is more interested in now is no longer this small problem.
