Duran strolls through Rick's Fortress and witnesses a group of Ricks performing various lives. He will talk to Rick and Morty and ask them about their stories.
Everyone has their own story, and the same identity also has different stories.
For example, there are so many Ricks in different categories. Some Ricks were brought to Rick's Fortress before the space gun was invented. These people were considered the first batch of forces in Rick's Fortress, and they no longer studied alone.
Instead, he started working for the Fortress, and all the results of his work belonged to the Fortress.
These people are considered aborigines, and later some Ricks joined one after another after they started venturing alone. These people are more independent and bring many new technologies and concepts.
Rick and Morty did not have this configuration at the beginning, but the recent addition of old Rick caused a trend, because Morty can neutralize Rick's genius brain waves.
So even in the same fortress, with the same face, the experience is completely different. There are Ricks who joined in different batches at different times in the fortress. They formed the army, the government, and various departments to maintain
Operations of the fortress.
Talk to them to learn about the various stages of the Fortress: Young Rick, Middle Rick, Old Rick, and Morty.
It can be roughly divided into four periods, and the development of the Fortress becomes clear. Rick, who joined the Fortress when he was young, will tell Duran that they were looking for gaps in the multiverse and starting from scratch. They were looking for resources from the universe and starting from scratch.
Obtain energy from the enemy and develop technology yourself.
Middle-aged Rick will tell Duran that the Fortress already has a certain strength, but it still needs to continue to recruit more Ricks, so the middle-aged Rick becomes active in the multiverse and strengthens the power of the Fortress. At that time, it was really
Anyone who saw Rick would be worried. The cumbersome rules and regulations of Rick's Fortress were also established at that time. In order to maintain technological leadership, Rick began to strictly control the behavior of Ricks to ensure that they would not leak technology.
After the aggressive middle age, the fortress has also entered the old age. At that time, Morty had not yet joined. The old fortress was already very conservative. Because there was no Morty to neutralize their brain waves, they would always encounter them in their adventures in the universe.
Various pursuits and interceptions. Old Rick really encountered a lot of trouble, because after such a long time, Rick's enemies have begun to develop many ways to target Rick. Old Rick's period is a defensive period, very passive.
But it is precisely because of this that there was a glorious "Morty Period" in the end.
The Morty period can be said to be a great glory after experiencing passivity. It can even be said to be more glorious than the middle-aged period. Every Rick is equipped with a Morty. They have more powerful technology and more covert disguises, and can be used without any problems.
Fearlessly releasing his talents, it really resounded throughout the multiverse, reminding everyone of the memory of being dominated by middle-aged Rick. However, the old Rick was more cunning and vicious than the middle-aged Rick. Under Morty's cover,
Under the circumstances, Rick has no taboos, which makes Rick's Fortress a place that everyone admires. However, what goes up must come down. Now it is the late stage of the Morty era, and the Fortress has entered a period of decline. So Morty
The period can be divided into the glorious pre-Morty period and the declining post-Morty period.
Duran can pick up a random Rick on the street and hear a long story.
Of course, if you chat with Morty, you can also hear a history of blood and tears. It is very dangerous for Morty to go on adventures with his grandfather. Because Morty is often regarded as a consumable, Rick does not really regard Morty as his grandson.
Because the Morty issued in the fortress might just be a clone produced by a machine.
So Morty was really in tears and blood in the fortress. Fortunately, the fortress has advanced technology, so as long as he can't die, he can be rescued, so Morty who survives will have to suffer all kinds of things.
Duran listened to Rick and Morty and asked them "Are they happy?" The answers he got varied. Some people were satisfied with the life in the fortress, while others felt that the fortress was not as good as before. Rick even thought that the fortress was better after Morty became the leader.
Ruined.
And Morty felt that the leader he had chosen was not good enough. He had clearly promised to change Morty's status, but there was no change at all. It was exactly the same as before. This made Morty uncomfortable, because they seemed to have been abducted by Rick.
The slaves who come to Rick's fortress have no autonomy at all and can only be Rick's vassal. When taking risks, they have to block guns and make experimental materials in normal times. During adventures, it would not be the best if Morty himself dies.
A bad outcome would be really tragic if your Rick dies but Morty is still alive.
If there are more Mortys and less Ricks, then Mortys will have to compete for jobs. It is very fierce. There are only so many jobs. Unemployed Mortys have to survive through illegal means, living in a harsh environment and extremely poor security, becoming a fortress.
instability factor.
Originally, after Evil Morty came to power, the unemployed Mortys hoped to change everything, but the situation did not improve at all. Because Evil Morty not only failed to solve the employment problem, but instead purged the dissatisfied Rick, further reducing Rick's
quantity, resulting in more Mortys becoming unemployed.
So the fundamental problem is that Morty, as Rick's vassal, has no autonomy, and no one cares about their demands. Rick is the main productivity of the fortress, and Rick is only there when he is in the fortress, so Rick must be dominant, even if he is evil
Morty's coming to power cannot change this, and Rick's interests cannot be ignored for the sake of Morty's interests.
It is really a society. Even the fortress composed of grandfather and grandson has all kinds of unfairness, prejudice, and contradictions. A lot of problems cannot be solved here. Morty originally did not belong to the fortress, but he was forcibly brought there, and in the end he
You can only be a tool and get nothing, and there is no unity among Mortys. The elite Mortys represented by Evil Morty don't care about Morty's future, so under the glory created by Rick are the corpses of countless Mortys.
"Change, must be a big change." Duran stood on the street and shouted. Rick and Morty were attracted around him. They didn't know what Duran was going to say.
"Although you are old people and children, grandfathers and grandsons, geniuses and mortals, since you have brought Morty here, you must be responsible instead of just treating them as tools. Morty also has feelings and cannot be ignored.
.”
These words were so touching that many Mortys started to cry. They didn't expect that Duran would consider them.
And some Ricks also began to reflect, because if the fortress is to survive, it must not continue to be the same as before. People with lofty ideals know that if they don't change, they will die. If there is a change, there may be a way to survive.
But there is still a stubborn Rick who said: "The fortress belongs to Rick, it was built by Rick, developed by Rick, maintained by Rick, and Morty has no contribution." These are the die-hards. They hope that Morty will continue to be a tool man.
, maintain Rick's dominance.
The contradiction is not small, Du Lanxin said that people of the same bloodline are like this, and his road to equality for everyone has a long way to go, so he must continue to work hard.
