Chapter 278 The Age of Great Wealth

Several thick manuscripts were soon published for the behavioral and sociological analysis of this group of lizard natives.

Now it is simply a carnival for sociologists and economists. They keep writing reports and books, and they are crazy as if they have discovered a new continent.

This feeling is like a real god is playing with a civilization, and he can't stop playing... I don't know what this indigenous civilization will become after humans.

In fact, this wave has spread to the Noah Society, and everyone is discussing profound content such as currency, sociology, and economics.

A large discussion program began to be broadcast, and a host was talking to several sociologists, but this became the most popular program for the public.

"...Such a social experiment is really interesting. We don't know whether the sprouts of capitalism will sprout among these lizard natives... Will they establish a reasonable trading system within the civilization..."

"Will a reasonable social system be established?"

"Recently, we have observed that a group of smart lizards have learned basic addition and subtraction. They have begun to try to charge people and calculate prices to gain economic benefits..."

"Yes, the first internal transaction of indigenous lizards has been realized. It is not the sale of goods, but the sale of labor! This is mainly due to interests. There will always be people who do profitable things! The lizards felt the benefits of wisdom for the first time, and the economic incentives for them are huge."

"If there are no laws and regulations, will there be lizards taking risks... robbery or petty theft?"

"Crime is always the fastest way to make money!"

"Sure enough! The first thief!"

"We found this lizard that stole money from the camera, but did not arrest it. This is a matter within their civilization, and we usually don't intend to interfere."

"It was caught..."

In the eyes of scientists, these lizards are no longer as innocent as before, but have shown some criminal activities.

From petty theft to serious robbery and extortion, especially extorting lizards from hostile villages...

If there is a 20% profit, the lizards will be ready to move; if there is a 50% profit, the lizards will take risks; if there is a 100% profit, the lizards dare to risk being hanged; if there is a 300% profit, the lizards dare to trample on all the laws in the world!

Greed is a devil, it can promote civilization to make great progress. At the same time, it will also push a civilization into the abyss...

But humans don't care about such things, as long as it doesn't affect people's archaeological excavation work.

These small actions are all generated after get off work. During working hours, they are under the surveillance of robots in the territory of the gods, and they are extremely honest.

"They even have some factions due to different villages, forming a mafia-like armed organization..."

"Is the emergence of this kind of armed organization to protect property? This is also normal. Without a strong organization, money will be stolen and robbed, and the lizards will not feel safe. They would rather spend some money to buy a sense of security."

A sociologist wrote in the report.

He was filled with emotion, witnessing the rapid changes of a civilization.

It is difficult for humans to think of this series of things in advance. Only after they appear, will they feel...

This seems to be taken for granted.

"Because of the emergence of criminal phenomena and underworld forces, fighting has become more and more serious, and it is about to affect normal work."

"After being strongly warned by the soldiers, they have been quiet for a while..."

"I think they will soon form a kind of customary rules to curb criminal phenomena... Otherwise, no one will be able to get anything good, and no one wants to live in chaos."

"This kind of rule is equivalent to the most primitive law!"

For the lizard natives, the emergence of currency can greatly stimulate the development of their civilization, and even be the driving force of their civilization.

They crave economy and material resources.

And humans will only act as a guide or observer, and will not teach them specifically what to do.

After all, the social structure of human beings themselves is not very perfect. If they are taught the same as humans, they will not bring any inspiration.

Just a little push, and then let the civilization evolve on its own, which actually brings more inspiration.

In fact, the entire lizard civilization is full of exploitation and being exploited.

A few months later, factional organizations based on large villages emerged one after another. If other retail investors wanted to join them and get their protection, they had to... pay money!

Pay protection fees!

The smart lizards learned a new word from humans: pay taxes.

Salaries are paid, so of course you have to pay taxes, right?

... This is simply the best era for the underworld!

According to the current situation, while chaos begins, order is also born. Although there are all kinds of dirty things during this period, overall, the entire civilization is still developing upward.

Every indigenous lizard wants to make more money to satisfy their desire for material things.

Then they must use their brains and wisdom.

Some lizards who can do arithmetic and think begin to gain a higher status among their peers. "Wisdom" begins to gradually replace "strength", and lizards who can calculate begin to be looked up to by the tribe, while "strong" ones can only become thugs, and their status is slightly lower.

This is a good phenomenon.

...

After reading this chaotic and dark "Report on the Indigenous Society of Lizards", Yu Yifeng simply didn't know what to complain about. This group of originally simple lizards was actually trained like this...

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong. But the development of civilization is bound to be not smooth sailing, and it will inevitably be accompanied by blood and twists and turns.

This group of lizards is relatively good.

Humanity has also gone through that stage...even full of killing!

Fortunately, everything is over, and humans are in the stage of enjoying the fruits of victory...

Comparatively, the current new human civilization, order, and maturity are much more.

With the successful start of automated excavation in the Arctic region, the problem of internal resource scarcity has been solved, and the level of social affluence has begun to slowly increase. Humanity has gradually entered the era of great affluence!

Yes, the era of great affluence has come so inadvertently, which is an undeniable fact.

Social productivity has greatly exceeded material needs. The "new currency" circulating within the Noah society has begun to decrease significantly, and basically everything has begun to implement a free policy.

People on this planet almost have resources that can last for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and no longer worry about living resources.

Such a difference is entirely determined by technology and productivity.

For humans, the most important task now is to eliminate currency to achieve a higher level of social system! Humans will no longer use material desires as the first driving force, but will use ideals and responsibilities as the driving force to move forward again.

Please be clear about this matter in the hearts of every member of society, and try to work hard for it.

Everyone knows that the new human civilization is not strong enough.

For current members of society, making more money is no longer very tempting. Because the current society is already very rich, many things are basically free and can be taken at will...

Moreover, after so many years of social experiments during the period of space drift, people are more adapted to this public ownership of means of production.

Everyone's moral quality is okay, and basically people's lives are still relatively frugal, and there is no phenomenon of large-scale extravagance and waste. Perhaps, there is also a kind of inertia of poor life that constrains it...

But now is also a very dangerous moment. Yu Yifeng does not know how long this inertia can constrain it. The new human civilization cannot be lazy because of a rich life!

People must sublimate working because of "survival pressure" to working because of "ideals" and "responsibilities"...

This is the most difficult step. If you don't go up, you will go down.

Yu Yifeng had to sigh that the new human civilization was so lucky. At this moment, there was a good opportunity: the appearance of the remains of the Nix civilization, and the training and observation of the lizard natives.

The appearance of these two things made everyone feel like they were injected with chicken blood, and they were full of unparalleled work spirit!

Perhaps, their thinking has changed a little. Passionate work is also what everyone likes and is willing to work for.

This work spirit has been maintained for a long time, and it will gradually affect the next generation, gradually form a habit, and gradually become a normal state...

If the next generation will "establish ideals" as a new thinking mode, then...the probability of success will be greatly increased!
