Chapter 1388 The Call of the Stars (XIV)

Schiller took a sip of wine and sighed slowly.

For a long time before, he was busy making all kinds of people unlucky. From wanting Valhalla and paying attention to death, until OAAA hung this universe outside the big world, he was busy with long-term planning and ignored a very thorny problem at the moment, that is, the growth of young heroes.

A little thought about the current situation on Earth shows that what human civilization lacks most now is talent, not superheroes.

The scope of talent not only includes scientists who master knowledge and technology, but in fact, there is not much shortage of technical and inventive talents. What is lacking now is mainly the backbone of leaders with good organizational skills, a sense of justice, and sufficient physical strength and energy for serious work.

To a certain extent, how much water a bucket can hold depends not only on the short and long boards of the wooden barrel, but also on the density and hardness of most other boards. If most of the other boards are leaking and lacking screws, it is meaningless to discuss how long the long board is and how short the short board is, because it is bound to leak.

The problem facing mankind is that, apart from Schiller, almost no one could have imagined that the times would develop so fast, and young heroes represented by the Avengers interns, Matt's trainees, and independent youth hero teams like the New Warriors were still trained as superheroes for a long time.

They are just and energetic, and under long-term guidance and training, they also have good military strength and strategic minds. The only problem is that there are too many muscles in their brains.

Again, although education is people-oriented, what individuals can develop into depends on their own talents and efforts, but it is not impossible to find problems from the social level.

Schiller almost single-handedly pushed human civilization forward a big step, but after pushing this big step, he was busy winding a ball of yarn, so this group of young heroes who could have become the best talent reserve were still limited to upholding justice on the streets, punishing evil and promoting good, and fighting with the enemy.

Among them, those with strong organizational skills can at most pull together a team of several people like a night thrush, and can barely make the team run without too much trouble.

And those with poor organizational skills are even more bizarre. Some are eccentric and solitary, some are chatterboxes when wearing masks and socially anxious when taking off masks, some have bad tempers and don't listen to people's words, and some are too soft, hesitant, and believe everything others say.

It sounds like a character defect, which seems difficult to correct, but in fact it is just that in the educational environment they are in, their teachers, elders and peers do not realize that the responsibilities they need to bear in the future will require them to have better judgment, the courage to make decisions in time, the concentration to focus on the goal from beginning to end, and the willpower to execute to the end.

Because becoming a street hero does not actually require these traits, you just need to be kind and good at fighting, but the times are changing too fast. Now street heroes can no longer solve the problem, or it is too wasteful to use them to solve the problem of street security, so they naturally have to learn these traits.

Therefore, the fundamental contradiction faced by young heroes now is the contradiction between the growing demand for leadership talent reserves on Earth and the lack of education for young heroes with potential.

After a little more free time, Schiller also discovered this, but because he had not paid attention to these young heroes for a while, he did not know what their level was, so he found Matt in advance, hoping to understand the level of the young heroes.

But Matt showed him how good these young people were, which made Schiller realize that the problem of insufficient education in some aspects was not the students, but the teachers.

In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time. Please move to the permanent source change app, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible.

The teachers' concepts have not changed. They still hope that everyone can have strong force, a peaceful state of mind, and a kind concept. This is not wrong, but it is not suitable for the current era.

Then the education around these aspects seems a bit backward, and the Daredevil Matt, Captain America Steve, and even Stark who teaches Spider-Man knowledge and technology, who are responsible for this education, are not good at sociology. They can't weave webs, let alone entangle wool balls.

Obviously, in this era, it is unrealistic to solve problems by brute force alone. The wheel of history rolls forward, and the tide of the times washes away the sand. Many contradictions have no right or wrong at all, but only conflicts between the new and the old.

Therefore, the idea of ​​distinguishing good from bad first, and then retaining the good and defeating the bad in the past will inevitably give birth to a metaphysical way of dealing with things. If it is not restrained, it will only do bad things with good intentions, turn justice into dictatorship, and fall into another trap of zero-sum thinking.

Schiller knew this clearly, but he knew even more that he couldn't just rush up and say to everyone, "You taught wrong" or "You learned wrong." Strong force and a sense of justice are important at all times, but Schiller is more concerned about the missing part.

So, Schiller sent Hydra agents to the Bronx where the protests broke out, but these agents did not deliberately intensify the conflict or stop the riots. Instead, they let it go and observed what methods the young superheroes represented by the New Warriors team took when dealing with this matter.

This can be said to be a basic test. Although Schiller doesn't care whether they do well or poorly in the test, he just needs an evaluation result, but the final result can still be called terrible.

The restraint and caution that Matt has always emphasized to these young heroes have become another kind of shackles. Although those young people who are originally impulsive and violent will not cause big troubles because of this restraint, those who are originally decisive leaders People will also be timid and hesitant because of this.

This is arguably the worst outcome.

Schiller is not actually worried about young heroes being reckless, making mistakes due to lack of experience, or being deceived and having difficulty distinguishing right from wrong. What he is most afraid of is that young people are showing a kind of swing, neither advancing nor retreating. Dare not say it, hesitant attitude of wanting to do it but not daring to do it.

Because these mistakes of the former are just because they are young and can be easily solved with the growth of experience and experience, but if it is the latter, it means that to some extent their personality is being shaped by an unhealthy environment.

This is exactly what Professor In fact, it is just a lack of judgment and courage.

The environment in which Lilandra was created was of course very bad. She grew up in a repressive environment, had no inheritance rights, and was not the most favored. Because she had no one to rely on, she could only be cautious. Over the years, she created a conservative, timid, and Swinging personality.

Perhaps from another perspective, the young heroes of the earth are also in this environment. Higher-level planners, such as members of the Alliance of Radiance, will basically not discuss any plans for the future development of mankind with them, but will discuss with them These close heroes, such as Daredevil Matt and Captain America Steve, are not full-time teachers, but just take time out to teach them.

And their companions are just as confused as they are. In the tide of the times, the life experiences they have spent in just ten or twenty years are simply not enough to tell them the answers to all their questions. No one is here to tell them whether they are. important, and no one tells them how to make themselves more important.

As a result, they are like blind people in the era. They empathize with the hardships of the people at the bottom, but also feel frustrated because they have abilities beyond ordinary people but cannot change the situation.

The way they deal with this pain and confusion is to think.

Two months have passed since the protests broke out in the Bronx, and most members of the New Warriors team are still thinking about it, and they haven't thought about it at all.

The innocent and kind-hearted Spider-Man is wondering whose fault this is, Night Thrush from the rich class is wondering which class should bear more responsibility, Speedball Robert is wondering how to get the best of both worlds without hurting anyone, Xu Shangqi is thinking The development of productive forces is good or bad for ordinary people.

Everyone was sitting there daydreaming. They didn't think about going together, so naturally they couldn't take action. But they knew they couldn't sit still and wait for death, so they could only passively slow down their work and carry out patrols for several months, as if they could maintain their strength. It’s like law and order has solved the problem.

From Schiller's point of view, the previous generation's planning had already left them a large enough margin for error. Even if they really caused a big explosion and killed dozens or hundreds of people, Schiller would still be able to think of it. A way to get them back from the kingdom of death.

But they sit there completely motionless. Although they will not make mistakes, in the long run, their ability to judge events, their keenness to seize opportunities, and the inspiration needed to make plans will all be worn away in the long run.

As time goes by, there will definitely be a broader stage left for the people of the Alliance of Radiance. These young heroes will always step onto the stage and lead mankind to move forward. But by then, they will just be a group of people who are good at fighting, hesitant when encountering problems, Leaders who sit there all day long and dream about things will really be a disaster for human civilization.

While drinking and eating, Schiller described his thoughts to Matt. He mentioned: "I contacted Spider Silk before and issued her a separate mission to find the more special ones among all the universes. , especially dangerous ones.”

"Among the results she fed back to me, I found a very special universe. Spider Silk's evaluation of this universe is that she just projected her attention on this universe through the spider totem, and the spider sense was already going off. It’s like my brain exploded.”

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" Matt said, his eyes widening.

"It is indeed very dangerous, and it is a danger beyond common sense and beyond imagination." Schiller nodded and said: "The most important thing is that these young heroes have powerful abilities far beyond ordinary people. I am afraid that there is no way to guarantee their survival. ”

"What?" Matt immediately raised his voice. He stared at Schiller with dull eyes and said, "Then how can you ensure..."

"Although they will definitely be injured, bleed, and even die to some extent, I will not just throw these flowers in the greenhouse directly into hell without making any preparations."

"Actually, I have already sent people to check out the examination room, removing as many unnecessary obstacles as possible, and even lowered the difficulty a little."

Schiller drank the last sip of wine, put the glass on the table, looked into his eyes with a cold look that Matt couldn't understand and said:

"Don't blame me for letting the child you are close to die. If I have a child, he will definitely bear the brunt."

Then, Schiller's focused eyes revealed that neurotic smile again.

"After all, I have a lot of experience in torturing my own children."
