Time is passing, human beings are making progress, and society is developing. When humans hid on tree branches in caves and shivered to avoid natural threats, fire became their only tool to fight against danger. At that time, the whole nature was weighing on the top of human beings. People united together, holding high torches and blowing the clarion call of resistance to the whole world. Later, human beings entered feudal society, and those who were weighing down on human beings became their own kind. The aloof emperor is like a moody god. No one dares to refute what he says, and his will must be carried out. If the emperor is enlightened and kind enough, mankind can still take steps forward; but if the emperor is tyrannical and indulgent, then everyone but him will suffer. As a result, a new chosen son led the oppressed people to stand up, overthrew this unequal dynasty, established his own country, and once again fell into this unsolvable cycle, like an eternal battle. A farce that never ends.
Later, mankind finally understood that a world ruled by one person would not have good results, so a group of people stood up and overthrew the feudal dynasty and ushered in the era of capitalism. The world in the capitalist era seems to be finally getting better. Human economic and trade has soared with the development of science and technology. The opening of new routes has connected the entire world together. Human beings are no longer as information-clogged as before, and the money in their pockets is There is more and more money, material and spiritual consumption is becoming more frequent, and living standards are gradually rising...
For some people, this is indeed the case, and their quality of life improves at an alarmingly rapid rate.
Most people still live in poverty, and their living standards are not even as good as those in the feudal society. As mentioned just now, if the emperor of feudal society is enlightened enough, the lives of everyone in the society will become better and better. The difference between capitalism and feudalism seems to be only one thing: the emperor who oppresses the people has changed from one to many.
We give our lives, our energy, and everything, but what we get is bread like bricks, dirty and dilapidated houses, and an increasingly shorter life span. Those sitting on the couch with their bulging bellies just made a phone call and stamped their stamp, and all the money in the world would flow into their pockets.
Thus, the flag of resistance once again appeared in the world. But this time, they are not fighting for a certain group or class, but for all mankind.
The proletarian revolution of the earth has taken a successful step and raised its hammer and sickle towards the darkness of capitalism. As for the world of Terra, this decadent society that should have had a revolution long ago has yet to see any successful uprising. Valentin can only think of one reason.
Of course, there are many reasons, but this is definitely one of the main ones.
"Infected."
Looking at Valentine's serious face, Trotsky only felt that he was too sensitive.
"Infected people are also very united. There were infected people among those people just now. They didn't have any conflicts, right?"
This is a slum, and infected people must exist. Valentine naturally thought of this problem.
"Who are the people listening to your speech?" Valentine did not refute his conclusion, but asked a question.
"Basically they are all my colleagues, teachers who teach in the school. There are also some people who are teachers from other schools in the slums. They are not here today because they are too far away from here. The little girl with purple hair is a newcomer and has just arrived. .”
Trotsky thought of the secret lock that had brought Valentine here.
"Are there people from other professions?"
"The other one is the school security guard, the guy at the door."
Basically they are all intellectuals.
"Let me ask you another question, do you know the transmission route of ore disease? The real transmission route." Valentine stared at Trotsky and tapped the table twice with his index finger, emphasizing the two words "real". word.
As a Rhodes Island operator, Valentine still has a deeper understanding of ore disease than the average person. Although he cannot understand those complicated medical reports, he still understands some basic knowledge of ore disease.
Compared with the extremely serious consequences of infection, the infection route of oriosis is particularly easy to prevent and treat, because it has only two transmission routes: blood transmission and air transmission. Everyone knows about blood transmission, as long as they don't let blood containing Originium elements enter their bodies. Airborne transmission is not as abnormal as most people imagine. Only extremely high concentrations of Originium gas can infect humans. The two most common situations are the Originium mine environment after the outbreak of natural disasters and the exploded corpses of infected people.
Oriosis is even weaker than AIDS, because you and the infected will not have any problems exploring the origin of life, except that the offspring you raise may be infected with oriosis, it is just a possibility.
It's like a gambling game.
Playing Russian roulette? Full of bullets, starting with you.
…
However, there is still a possibility that the non-sick party in the life exploration will be infected, that is, you did not take protective measures and were accidentally injured. This can only show that you and him (her) are really a match made in heaven. Not being an infected person like the other person is simply as painful as the cracks in the Hetian jade.
Now that you are all infected, you are simply perfect. Are you happy? Is it surprising?
Ahem.
"Uh... airborne or blood-borne?" Trotsky hesitated for a while before giving the answer.
"The doctor in Qicheng told me."
"It is true that there are only two transmission routes, but he did not tell you the details." Valentin thought that it was probably Raphael who told you, and at the same time, he carefully gave Trotsky the transmission routes of ore disease. Explained again.
"Oh, it really sounds like..." Trotsky's mouth opened slightly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Valentine with surprise in his eyes.
"Surprisingly."
In his imagination, the transmission route of ore disease should be directly proportional to its severity. Otherwise, how could we explain that there are so many infected people in the world of Terra?
"I don't understand, if this is really the case, why is the number of infected people still inevitably increasing?"
The answer is too obvious.
"Think about this world." Valentine pointed to his temple, and the corners of his mouth slowly cracked: "It's so strange. There is no energy use except the Source Stone... electricity, fire, cars, cities, everything is inseparable from the Source Stone. Stone. In a world without any energy other than Source Stone, do you think the incidence of ore sickness would be lower?"
"And the fact that ore disease has become like this must have something to do with the government."
This is not unfounded.
During those few days when he was rubbing gold in Rhode Island, Valentin didn't just stay on the sofa in a daze. Although the Internet was not working, he could still browse the web, but the waiting time was just a little longer. So what did he do?
Valentin read all the policies and news about ore disease in all the major countries in Terra. Thank the world, no firewalls are awesome.
But the content isn't as great. Valentin browsed news and information one after another. Most of them were news about natural disasters happening somewhere or infected people exploding. Most of the official news related to ore disease was about Valentin didn't see anything about the prevention and control of ore disease, such as mining a certain source of minerals or replacing the core of a mobile city.
Colombia, Letania and Yanguo are relatively good. There are several news related to oriosis, such as the transmission route, how to prevent and treat it, what to do if the infection is discovered, etc., but the contents of these news are all mentioned. It is very general and not detailed. It is difficult for Valentine to see the sincerity of these countries in preventing and controlling ore disease.
Feudal society countries like Usaskasi Mirsamy are even more perfunctory. Except for a few messages about the transmission routes of ore disease, the rest are basically messages about dealing with infected people. By the way, at the end of the message Lick the king and make Valentine think he is in some psychedelic virtual world.
It’s strange no matter how you think about the emergence of the Internet in feudal society.
And what makes Valentine extremely puzzled is that for such a global and unsolvable plague, the countries in the world of Terra have not taken any preventive measures, except for a few official announcements, and even the Oriosis Clinic It is illegal to do business in some countries; the price of ore disease inhibitors is extremely high, and they are basically supplied to those nobles and big businessmen. Although commoners can buy them, they are difficult to afford. It is the inhibitors produced in Rhode Island that allow this industry to compete. He didn't understand what the leaders of these countries were thinking about the more intense results.
This is just like all the countries on the earth do not care about AIDS and let it evolve as it pleases. Apart from informing the public of some necessary prevention methods, there is no other action. AIDS patients may have their property confiscated if they go to the hospital for help. Throw them into slums or mines to work hard, and eventually be exposed in the wilderness.
Valentin was very confused. What were the governments of these countries in the world of Terra thinking? Why is there no rebel in this world?
Oh yes, the integrated movement is. It's just that they are no different from terrorists in the Middle East. On the surface, they are resisting, but behind the scenes, they may have some purpose.
Moreover, the resistance was particularly violent. Regardless of whether you had ever persecuted an infected person, as long as you were an ordinary person, you would be killed.
A literal terrorist organization.
This is not called a rebel, this is called a lunatic.
But when he was looking through the manifesto not long ago, Valentine felt that he had found the answer to the question.
Enlightenment, enlightenment.
All of this is the conspiracy of the rulers and their despicable means to consolidate their rule.
Although the proletarian revolution on earth in the previous life was very difficult, there were still many successful examples. Basically, enough resistance was gathered to fire the first shot, and then the whole country burst out like fireworks. After a hard struggle, the proletarian revolution succeeded.
The biggest difference between the proletariat in the two worlds of Terra and Earth is this ore disease.
The proletariat on earth are all the same. They are oppressed to the limit by the capitalists and rebel in anger. They may have different occupations, different genders, and different races, but there are no conflicts among them that can divide the entire class. They are even exceptionally harmonious because they have a common goal.
And what about the proletariat of Terra? A source stone directly divided them into two worlds, and the slums were the only intersection between the two worlds. Ordinary people are afraid of infected people and applaud when the country handles infected people; infected people resent everyone because they have been abandoned by the entire world.
This is why the integration movement has grown so rapidly. The members inside are all poor people who have been abandoned by the world. They hug each other, lick their wounds and comfort each other. Under the instigation of Tallulah, they declare war on the entire world indiscriminately.
People who are carried away by anger cannot think, which is why the integration movement is so easily exploited.
It is obvious that the nobles and capitalists are also aware of this. They deliberately do not pay attention to the ore disease. Instead, they use their own channels to continuously influence the ordinary people's views on the infected and make them treat the infected as if they were infected. Fear of wolves and tigers constantly deepens the contradiction between the two groups of people in the same class, and constantly diverts the proletariat's attention from the rulers' oppression of the people, in order to achieve the purpose of consolidating their own rule.
And the behavior of those infected was enough to satisfy these people. The infected continued to have friction with ordinary people, and even formed an organization such as the Integration Movement, which once again reduced the possibility of the proletariat uniting to resist oppression, because they paid attention They focused all their efforts on the other party, completely ignoring the mountain above their heads.
Maybe at the beginning, infected people can cooperate with non-infected people, but after non-infected people have been brainwashed for so long, this possibility can be said to be slim, and the reconciliation between infected people and non-infected people can only be It could be an example.
Even if they do reconcile, and a charismatic leader unites the two forces, the ruling class can take advantage of the fragile period when trust has just been established to stage a frame-up and frame-up. The trust that the two forces had finally built up collapsed.
They don't even need an army.
In terms of energy, Valentine boldly speculated that these countries have long known about the existence of energy sources such as petroleum, coal, and solar energy, which are extremely harmless compared to the Origin Stone. However, for the sake of their own rule and to continue to enjoy the convenience brought by the Origin Stone, They shamelessly hid this news deep in their hearts.
The Origin Stone has become a magic weapon that allows capitalism and feudalism to oppress the proletariat. What is hateful is that no one in this world can do without it.
It's sad enough.
——————Creating conflicts is always the best way to divert attention————————
After listening to Valentine's long speech, Trotsky entered a sluggish state as if he had been frightened, and could not react for a long time. Valentine drank up the water in the glass and scooped out the cold noodles in the bowl.
After talking so much, he was already very hungry.
"Don't be fooled by the individual cases in front of you. The conflict between infected and non-infected people in this world is not so easy to resolve. Think about you in the past, and think about Chernobog that day."
Looking at Trotsky who was still in a daze, Valentin chewed noodles and spoke vaguely.
"The people you meet in the Longmen organization are all intellectuals. Compared with the general public, they see things more clearly and are more likely to accept the truth."
Looking at Valentine, who looked very inconsistent with his appearance and appearance, Trotsky stood up and bowed slightly to him.
"grateful!"
Valentine shrugged.
It can only be said that Chernobog's failure really made Valentine change a little, at least he is no longer as brainless as before.
"But even so, I still want to go to Ursus to promote the knowledge contained in 'The Communist Manifesto'." Trotsky's tone remained firm.
"They should have woken up a long time ago. We can't give up on waking them up just because of a source stone."
"Even if there is darkness ahead?" Valentine swallowed the noodles and put the chopsticks aside.
"Then I would like to turn into a torch to light the way ahead."
"Even if the possibility is extremely low?"
"But hope remains."
"Even if you are likely to die?"
Looking at Valentine's raised eyebrows, Trotsky just smiled.
"If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have appeared at the gate of Qicheng to fight against the integration movement that day."
"A few days before Qicheng was captured, we received news of the evacuation. Some people left, and some stayed. Although we will die, we are not willing to give up our home, our hometown."
Recalling the blood they shed that day, the fallen colleagues, and the fire shooting into the sky, the corners of Trotsky's eyes gradually became moist.
"hero."
Valentine clapped his hands gently and nodded slightly.
He once said he wanted to be a hero, but now Valentine just thinks it's ridiculous. What kind of hero is an ordinary person who just wants to go home? Trotsky is a man who is willing to sacrifice his life for his homeland.
Why was he unwilling to give up Qicheng at that time? Why did he think Ursus would still change?
Because there are people like Trotsky.
"Well..." Valentin rubbed his chin and bit his lip, trying to make the words in his mind concise.
"I want to tell you something that may be helpful to you, about this book 'The Communist Manifesto'."
As an earthling, Valentin's biggest advantage over Trotsky is that there are enough examples of failed proletarian revolutions on earth, such as the Paris Commune in France and the Soviet Union. He can find some useful things in them to warn the future man. Possible leader of the proletariat.
"All policies related to communism need to be implemented based on the situation. Maybe the policies proposed in the manifesto are not that effective in the real world. You need to analyze the specific situation in detail, otherwise the revolution is likely to fail."
"I know that there are indeed some errors in it, but that does not affect the excellent ideas contained in it." Trotsky nodded.
"Then, it mentions the use of violence to carry out proletarian revolution. I think this is also debatable, especially in Ursus now."
Valentine pointed in the direction of the Guards Bureau building.
"A country's armed forces are not easy to fight against. When necessary, we need to give up some achievements and preserve the strength to fight guerrillas with the opponent. At the same time, we continue to promote communism to gain the support of the majority of proletarian members."
"Not all proletarians wake up as soon as they are called. You need to constantly spread your ideas to influence them. Of course, during this period, you must pay attention to your methods, and you must not use violence to propagate ideas. In that case, it will be the same as the integration movement. There’s no difference.”
"I see."
…
As the night wore on, the hours-long discussion between the two finally came to an end.
"...Although I have discussed so much with you, I still advise you not to launch a revolution too quickly, because the conflict between infected and non-infected people is not so easy to resolve. If you only win the support of one of the forces , then the revolution is very likely to fail, and the ruling class does not need to expend too much effort.”
"You can hide your capabilities and bide your time, only propagate your ideas, not engage in armed struggle for now, and wait until the antidote for ore disease is developed before launching a revolution. Of course, this is just my suggestion."
At the end of the conversation, Valentine once again gave a few instructions.
He did not want to see the birth of another integration movement.
"Clear." Trotsky nodded.
"It's a pity that I can't participate in this great revolution with you, because I have my own selfish motives and cannot be as selfless as you."
Valentine is telling the truth here.
"I have friends and relatives, and I can't let them go. But I will also do my little bit for your revolution."
Valentin asked for Trotsky's X letter, and after adding him as a friend, he transferred a sum of money to him.
Seeing that Trotsky wanted to refuse, Valentin quickly raised his hand and explained: "This is for the revolution, not for you. If in the future I know that you did not spend this money on promoting 'The Communist Manifesto' If so, I will settle the score with you."
"Actually, this amount of money is not that much. It is probably enough for you to live in Ursus for a while. Promoting new ideas is not that easy. Of course, I won't just let it go." Valentin gave him a card Paper with your contact information written on it.
Since my former self committed suicide to propagate communism in this world, there is no turning back.
"If you are short of money in the future, you can contact me and I will try my best to provide you with financial support."
The salary in Rhode Island is quite generous. After excluding the ore disease inhibitor and daily expenses, Valentine can still have some leftover.
"It may not support much...but a little is worth it."
"Thanks."
To Valentine, Trotsky could only express his sincere gratitude.
"In addition, if a girl with turquoise hair named 'Vera Leonid Ulyanova' joins you in the future, please be sure to contact me. If my phone number cannot be reached, you can also call the nearest one. Rhode Island Pharmacy asked them to contact me. Anyway, please use any means to contact me. I am not asking for any future position in your organization. I want to know when this girl joins you. That is my only request. .”
Valentine put his hands together in front of his face and bowed his head slightly, his voice sincere.
Leonid died, and Vera's mother was nowhere to be found. He didn't want to interfere too much with this little girl's future, but to ensure her safety, Valentin felt that this was his obligation.
This was a mistake he made and could only make amends for it.
"I remember her name. If such a lady joins us in the future, I will definitely notify you."
Trotsky gave his word.
"Thanks."
"Finally, I want to give you these books." Valentine put his hand under the table, and when he took it out again, he held several red-sealed books in his hand.
Valentine placed the books one by one on the table, allowing Trotsky to see the names of the books.
"State and Revolution", "The Tragedy of a Great Power: The Causes and Consequences of the Disintegration of the Soviet Union", "The Long March"
He just got this from Jiao Zhengyu's mall. Three books don't require much Source Stone.
"Read these books when you have time. They may be helpful to you in the future." Valentine pushed these three books to Trotsky.
"You don't have to worry about the non-existent countries described in it, but some of the issues raised actually happened. To prevent such things from happening in the future, these books will give you a vaccination in advance."
"Thank you." Trotsky's hand gently brushed the covers of the three books and put them into his bag one by one, as if he were storing sacred objects.
"Let's end it here today." Valentine exhaled and shook hands with Trotsky.
"I hope that when I see you next time the communist flag will be planted all over Ursus."
"You'll see the day."
Trotsky nodded slightly to Valentine and left the restaurant. Valentin looked at his back as he opened the door and walked away, then placed a Dragon Gate Coin on the table.
"Bill, please!"
——————Frustration is always the only way to grow————————
The night was already very deep, and the moon in the sky was particularly bright. Valentin wears a wig and walks on the road in the slums, kicking stones out of boredom.
The pigeons released the night smoke tonight. I don’t know if the cat’s hair will explode when I go back.
...But before that, it’s better to worry about Xing Yihuang’s anger.
Valentine was thinking about how to deal with cats and dragons, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
When he finally felt something was wrong, it was already too late. A strong sack was put over his head, and Valentine felt his eyes go dark, followed by a beating with a knife and a stick.
This time he came out without the bottle of "Dali" he drank from Night Smoke, nor did he bring out his USP. Faced with the sudden attack, Valentine could only fall to the ground and continue to use Origin Stone skills to heal his wounds, without the ability to fight back. .
"Damn it, why is he still moving?!"
"It's not like you don't know how he killed those losers in the 'teahouse'!"
The angry conversation between the two men stunned Valentine.
How did they know what they were doing in the teahouse that day?
Although Valentin drank the potion that day, he still remembered the most basic anti-reconnaissance skills. He also changed his clothes and put on a wig to go out to do trouble, and only took it off when he arrived at the place. He even took a long detour on the way, just to be afraid someone would follow him.
He had killed all the guys and reinforcements in that room. When he was escorted out, the horns of the black hood on his head were not exposed. How could anyone remember him?
Valentine only felt a fire ignited in his heart. Just when he was about to summon a dagger from the Blade Angel and prepare to tear open the sack, a blunt object slammed into his head.
The huge impact made Valentine sluggish, and the consciousness of communicating with the Blade Angel was also interrupted. A thick electric current passed through his body, followed by darkness like a tide.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked Xing Yihuang to follow me...
These were his last thoughts before his consciousness faded.
