Chapter 226 Technology is the primary productive force

Half an hour later.

The first batch of Green Paradise experiencers came out of the flower buds with pale faces.

The body is trembling.

When asked what they had experienced, they remained silent, as if they had suddenly transformed from unruly people into good kids.

"I understand! I really understand. I will let the children go to school!"

Suddenly, someone screamed with horror on his face.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans flowed down his cheeks.

Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

They were also curious about what they had experienced.

Lu Yuan saw this and scratched his head: "Did we increase the weight of teachers punishing students? They are all suffering from psychological trauma."

"When I tried the course, the teacher wasn't very fierce."

Hai Luo sat next to him, with bright eyes and a playful smile: "It's because these students are too bad. They don't even have basic respect for teachers."

"The teacher was teaching on the podium, and they were talking and chatting below, and even put their feet on the table."

Lu Yuan was silent.

"That's why teachers in the virtual world are becoming more and more aggressive. They really deserve a beating."

"Should we make the teacher more gentle?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan hardened his heart: "That's it for now, discipline me severely, and show no mercy!"

He temporarily placed these flower buds in the square.

He shouted to the crowd, "You can learn... almost all knowledge through these flower buds!"

“Those who are interested in experiencing it can certainly experience it.”

"If you are not interested, don't force it."

"Anyway, the opportunity is here! But your children must go to school!"

In fact, even if you don’t have a high level of education and can’t learn profound things, you can still use the Green Paradise to learn a lot of useful knowledge, such as Chinese, arithmetic, and writing your own name shouldn’t be difficult, right?

For example, crafts such as carpentry, blacksmithing, breeding, and cooking.

These traditional skills were considered monopoly knowledge in the feudal era.

An apprentice has to work for free for several years just to learn the basics.

The real core is not easily taught by the master - the principle of teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death is applicable in any world.

But in the virtual world, you can learn for free! However, the gap between people is really huge. Even with the best educational conditions, many people are still stubborn.

They are like stones in a toilet, smelly and hard.

So Lu Yuan didn't have high expectations for the first generation of population.

"Sanri, you are responsible for this matter. Starting next week, all school-age children will go to school... Can you do it?"

The former elder of Xiasha Village, Sha Sanli, suddenly showed a bitter face.

As you can imagine, this is a thankless task to implement.

But soon, Sanda Sanli realized the beauty of it...

If he succeeds in this task, does it mean that he...gets promoted?

Promotion means power, which means that he has regained a relatively high status.

He cares a lot about face.

"Yes! Definitely!"

The old man asked cautiously, "Captain Lu, can we use force?"

"What is the maximum punishment for not letting children go to school?"

He had to figure this out.

The veins on Lu Yuan's forehead jumped twice, and he finally sighed: "Child abuse is similar in severity to petty theft. It's not too serious, but force can be used."

Sha Sanli's eyes lit up: "I understand. Just don't beat him to death."

"Make sure all those more than a thousand children are locked up in the flower buds!" He patted his chest and made a pledge, "If one is missing, you will lock me in a cell!"

His current identity is... a civil servant?

There is a salary to be collected! Sha Sanli turned his head and his expression became grim.

"Any of you who dares not let your children go to school will make things difficult for me, Sha!"

Lu Yuan: ...

Sometimes, I really want to control these damn guys!

…

"Well, that's it for now."

Looking at the noisy crowd, Lu Yuan sighed lightly.

As long as these systems can be implemented, he doesn't care how they are implemented or whether they are implemented violently.

Time will prove that he is right.

"In fact, the effect of your promotion is pretty good. At least you still have a group of supporters. Maybe it's because your prestige is relatively high?" The old cat shook his head.

On the contrary, it feels that the effect is a little beyond expectations.

If it had happened a few months ago, the opposition would have been even greater and people would have simply not understood.

But now, at least it can be carried out.

The water in the reservoir is decreasing day by day, and time is really running out.

This may be the so-called crisis bankruptcy reform.

…

After Lu Yuan finished his speech, he controlled the Tree of Life and left.

He didn't care what the noisy crowd thought.

The evolution of civilization has its own objective laws and takes a long time.

Violence can push things forward for a while, but not forever.

Therefore, we have to use interest inducement - let them witness the power of technology, so that they can change their ideology faster.

The next day, Lu Yuan gathered those owners of "divine skills" and some managers, a total of more than 300 people.

Perhaps because they are naturally smarter, these owners of "divine skills" are generally more studious and quick to learn new things.

They are the main force behind the rising city in the sky.

"My friends, we have a lot to do and we still lack a lot."

“Having an excellent talent is just the beginning. How to make the best use of the talent is the key.”

“The most important thing is cognition.”

"We must understand that technology is the primary productive force."

Lu Yuan took these more than 300 people to visit the "fully automatic agricultural base" that had been carefully built in recent times.

Green civilization naturally needs to produce food.

They placed their plantings in huge greenhouses and automated the operations through the vines of poppy trees. Only a dozen people were needed to complete the food production for the entire civilization and hundreds of millions of people!

After Lu Yuan knew this, he naturally took it to heart. He and Hai Luo spent more than four months repairing a small part of the carvings and robots, which was the minimum line for the farm's operation.

Fortunately, the current population is not large, and a small greenhouse of about 30 hectares is basically enough.

"Everyone, please come in!"

The door...slowly opened.

What comes into view are rows of neatly arranged transparent shelves.

The shelves are filled with...greenery?!

A green ocean, dotted with flowers, the whole garden is filled with fragrance.

The air was a little humid, mixed with a faint salty smell of inorganic salts.

Everyone's eyes widened. It was the first time they saw such a magical scene.

These plants do not require soil, they are simply fixed with some stones.

Those roots are soaked in liquid, but they grow very well!

The air humidity in the greenhouse is 70%, and the temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius, almost constant temperature - this function is controlled by glyphs.

There are green vines hanging from the ceiling, which are extensions of poppy trees. These vines are controlled by artificial intelligence in the "Green Paradise", which can automatically replenish nutrient solution, harvest and pick fruits.

In the greenhouse, most of the culture dishes are planted with common crops, including rice, wheat, and various green vegetables.

These seeds, in fact, are nourished by the Tree of Life and grow well and fast.

"Captain Lu, where... did these come from?" Even a super thinker like Sha Mo was extremely shocked.

There's no way, they still have too little knowledge.

No matter how smart a person is, he will be limited by his knowledge and the times.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "In the desert, you can only grow cacti. Otherwise, the soil will be dry and you will have to water it constantly... But if you grow plants without soil, the water resources consumed will be bearable."

“Who doesn’t want to eat delicious rice?”

"I know you may be wondering, how did they do that? Ladies and Gentlemen, the answer is right here on the green playground."

“This farm is the result of four months of hard work by Conch and I.”

"It uses knowledge of glyphs, program editing, and knowledge of soilless cultivation... its productivity is probably equivalent to that of 6,000 farmers."

Two people are equal to six thousand?!

Many people stared with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

But the facts are right before our eyes.

This green ocean is refreshing.

The remaining part of the plantation is mutant plants and extraordinary plants. These plants are difficult to cultivate without soil and can only be planted in the soil.

These seeds were collected by Lu Yuan during his long journey, and now they are finally put to use.

“They have great medicinal value.”

“It can effectively solve our problem of insufficient medicine.”

There are even two hundred fruit trees!

In order to make the greenhouse look a little more grand, Lu Yuan specially asked the Tree of Life to spend 1 unit of life energy to promote the growth of these fruit trees for a while.

Don't think he's stingy, 1 unit is really a lot! So, these fruit trees, which looked like they had been growing for ten years, actually began to produce fruit! 50 of the fruit trees were a plant called "Pop-Pop Fruit Tree", a desert mutant plant brought from the Rize civilization.

It is suitable for desert environments, grows fast, and has good taste and nutritional value.

The bunches of grapes hanging on the emerald green branches exude a pleasant fruity fragrance.

Soon, there will be a big harvest! The remaining ones include apples, oranges, pears, and a lot of variety.

There is even no need for people to harvest the vines, as the vines hanging from the ceiling will be picked automatically.

Lu Yuan picked a few bunches and shared them with them.

Sha Mo sniffed it, tasted one, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It smells so good..."

The other three hundred owners of divine skills were having a heated discussion while eating.

This scene...

It was like a miracle! It directly impacted their hearts.

It's really great! It's incredible!

It's like a dream.

"A one-time harvest, more than the biggest landowner ever had!"

“Even a great empire with mountains of gold and silver cannot buy this…greenhouse?”

Their imagination is too poor and they can only compare themselves with previous empires.

But so much food really makes people feel at ease.

They were really scared by the famine.

Lu Yuan paused for a moment and said seriously: "My friends, this is not just my credit."

“Part of it is that knowledge brings power.”

"Another reason is the legacy of football civilization."

"We are a lucky civilization. We stand on the shoulders of our predecessors. We have this greenhouse and poppy trees, and we can accomplish miracles."

"This farm is just a classic example, and it is also the main reason why I brought you here to visit. Now you finally understand why technology is the primary productive force."

"Why bother planting crops? Just stick to this kind of farm!" someone whispered.

There was laughter from the crowd.

"There is only one Mr. Lu and Miss Conch. How can they run so many farms?" someone else objected.

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "I must declare that what I can do, everyone can do too. Do you want to open a farm like this? Then you must study hard!"

“We need to create miracles together.”

"And raising the city in the sky is very difficult. It may require a thousand or ten thousand such miracles."

"We must work together to escape this desperate situation!"

Lu Yuan's words were actually very sincere.

Although it may be suspected of exaggeration - for example, glyphs, now they just know that the thing exists, but they don’t know anything about it!

However, the ability to make promises is an essential quality for a leader.

These people who had never seen the world were also very excited and wanted to create a miracle immediately and then build a city in the sky.

Lu Yuan changed the subject and lowered his voice: "From a personal perspective, studying hard and applying for a higher-paying job will greatly improve your living standards."

"These supplies will be available in supermarkets. They will not be given away for free and need to be purchased."

"Then you will know the benefits of high salaries."

…

…

The emergence of the fully automated agricultural base was indeed inspiring! All 382 owners of divine skills were like chicken blood, and they worked hard.

They work day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and wish they could stay in the flower buds for 24 hours a day and study hard!

This group of people also indirectly led to a group of civilians with more positive attitudes.

They gradually realize that high-level positions can bring high salaries.

Like some engineering team is recruiting workers, monthly salary... 300?

In this era, it is not low.

An electrician’s monthly salary is as much as 600!

My goodness, doesn't that mean a monthly income of 600 kilograms of grain? With this calculation, I really feel that the cost-effectiveness of farming is not high.

You know, a person only needs to eat 30 kilograms of food a month to be full.

600 yuan can support 20 people!

It was indeed a huge number that they could not imagine.

Of course, the anchor of currency, food, has not yet really appeared.

The public is currently in a wait-and-see attitude towards the so-called "purchasing power of money".

We are not fools. We have experienced currency collapse before. During the Great Famine, a large piece of gold could not be exchanged for an ounce of food!

Therefore, some people believe in the saying that one dollar can buy one kilogram of grain, while others do not.

Most people are still waiting and watching.
