In troubled times, extreme voices are always the most attractive, because extremists do not need to propose production plans or advanced ideas, they can just dump the blame on others and then burn, kill, and loot.
Everyone is busy, there is no need to think about the future, as long as they can grab it now, it is victory.
So there are extremist organizations everywhere. Extremist organizations can concentrate their power the fastest and grow like a snowball. They roar in steel jungles like cities and cause a lot of destruction.
In the face of troubled times, one or two people are of no use at all. Even if Confucius and Mencius were resurrected and faced with the collapse of rituals and music, they would be unable to do anything.
However, Duran said that as long as everyone's mentality is transformed into a state of war, it will be fine. As long as heaven is more important than reality, he believes that there is no buying and selling in heaven and there is no killing. He believes that everything in reality is suffering, and would rather become a suicide bomber.
As long as we live, it won't matter if we are in troubled times. We can just wallow in troubled times together.
As for ending the troubled times, of course, we must rely on the landlords and gentry in various places to build castles and maintain order. As long as one-third of an acre of land is fine, it doesn't matter if there is chaos outside.
Just like in many zombie movies, a fence is built. There is order inside the fence, but zombies are rampant outside the fence.
Since order has been maintained inside the wall, forces have been organized, production has resumed, and even weapons and equipment can be produced, why do the people in the wall not know about zombies and take back the land?
Because you can't do this, once the land is retaken, many people will inevitably grow stronger, and the status of the landlords and gentry will be threatened. Therefore, the city lords in zombie movies will try their best to spread the fear outside the wall and prevent people inside from going out. In this way, the city lords
You can maintain your advantage.
This is just like Genghis Khan suddenly becoming kind-hearted. It's not that he really changed his temper, but that he continued to let his son go to war, and his own status was threatened.
Just like the Empress Dowager Cixi, why can't we give money to the army? If the navy wins the battle, should Cixi give way, or should she give the army generals a glass of poisonous wine?
There is also the famous game "Ice and Steam Age". When the player organizes manpower through various means and survives the arduous test, the game will say: But is it all worth it?
The landlords and gentry maintain their own one-third of an acre of land, and then tell their subordinates that the outside world is a devil's cave. They must not go there, or they will die. They tell everyone that they should not work hard, but if they all work hard, the status of the landlord will be unstable. In the end,
The good thing is that he would rather die than work hard like in "The Age of Ice and Steam". Landlords like this kind of people the most.
The gathering places in zombie movies are obviously capable of fighting, but they would rather shrink back than eliminate the zombies and regain the lost territory, because it cannot be recovered. Once recovered, the landlords and gentry will no longer be able to control everything, and they will no longer have the right to speak.
So in the zombie worldview, there are gathering places for survivors. Inside the gathering place is peaceful, and outside it is a doomsday scene of ruined walls. The protagonist goes from one gathering place to another, causing disaster in many places.
Because the protagonist represents an external force, it is easy to gain support and conflict with the city lord. With the help of the protagonist's halo, the protagonist provokes a civil war in the gathering place in minutes.
It’s not that there are no opponents in the gathering place, it’s just that the city lord has the most resources and suppresses the opponents. The protagonist group, an external force, has explosive combat power. If the opponents cooperate with the protagonist group, defeating the city lord is not a problem.
Generally speaking, after the city lord disappears, it will be divided into three directions, one is the parliament, the other is the new city lord, and the other is the split.
In short, the protagonist group is a humanoid killer. Wherever they go, there will be war.
Duran felt that soon everyone would be enclosing land for themselves, just like in zombie movies, where the landlords and gentry occupied safe strongholds, while the worthless land outside was left alone and allowed to be tormented by free people.
Indeed, many powerful landowners have built walls and turned their territories into fortresses, so that they can withstand troubled times.
Because it has superpowers, the wall is also an electromagnetic shield wall, which can effectively resist energy attacks.
You also need to stockpile supplies, food, seeds, weapons, energy and other basic things.
But these things are also needed by ordinary people for daily life. Landlords have hoarded them, and the prices have risen, making them unavailable for ordinary people. This has further accelerated the troubled times.
These are standard features in troubled times, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about them.
Even Dulan can't help it. If he tells everyone to unite, they will only think that Dulan has bad intentions. They have been taught that individualism is great and unity is evil since they were young. How can they unite suddenly?
These people don't know how to look at problems dialectically. Individualism is not perfect and cannot solve all problems. Unity is not just about oppression of individuals, it is about concentrating strength to accomplish great things.
To be serious and lively, to be united and tense, both individuals and unity are needed. There is no contradiction in itself, they are all ways to solve problems.
The problem is that when people do not learn dialectics, do not understand these pragmatic principles, and do not understand that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, they will easily gravitate towards individualism.
Even if Dulan wanted to help, he couldn't unite everyone. Of course, he could also use his absolute strength to unify the land, which would be boring.
Dulan decided to continue to use the app as a platform to develop communication infrastructure. When the time comes, landlords and gentry will pay money if they want to use this infrastructure.
Sure enough, they quickly began to enclose the land, and high-tech fortresses were built one after another. All production and life were gathered in the fortress. The city began to become empty, with only homeless vagrants and adventurers licking blood from their swords.
, and robbers who murder and set fires roam the city.
These people make the world outside the fortress very dangerous.
Of course, the area around the fortress can be used for grazing and farming, but these are under the radiation of the fortress guards.
This is almost the same as the situation in the Yin, Shang and Zhou dynasties, with cities, grazing, fields, and wilderness. The wilderness is a place where all kinds of dangers lurk. Don't go there if nothing happens.
The extreme people feel helpless when facing the fortress, because they can't get it. If they can't get it, no one will listen to the extreme people. Everyone will hope to live in the fortress.
But the owner of the fortress will definitely not accept it, because the carrying capacity of the fortress is limited. Not only is it unacceptable, but various laws and regulations will be enacted to kick out those who violate the law.
Anyway, through this method of isolation, a new order is gradually established. Then there will be merchant organizations that buy and sell between different fortresses, seeking huge profits through the flow of resources.
What Duran has to do is to become the backing of all organizations and provide them with communications, positioning, weapons and other technologies. Services can be purchased by spending money.
No matter in troubled times or in peaceful times, information gap is always the best choice to make money. Dulan uses information gap to make money, and he will definitely not be short of money.
"These Pip-Boys are ready for sale." Speaking of the apocalypse, the game "Fallout" is indispensable. The terminal Pip-Boy allows players to receive information from anywhere. Now Duran also produces it.
There are many Pip Boys, this kind of terminal computer allows users to purchase services at any time.
Information is the most valuable in any era, and Duran's information is definitely worth the money. In other places, you may spend money to buy false information, but here in Duran, as long as you spend money, it will definitely be true information. Just for this reason,
Dulan is a conscientious businessman.
The most difficult thing about intelligence is not how to obtain it, but how to distinguish between true and false. There are many channels for obtaining information, and there are always ways, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Just like the Pearl Harbor incident, there must be a lot of true and false information. The US military does not know whether it is true that it attacked Pearl Harbor or it was true that it did not attack.
There was also the Normandy landing, and the Germans also received a lot of intelligence. Some said it was in Normandy, and some said it was elsewhere.
Another example is the plank road built openly to attack Chencang secretly. Xiang Yu must have known that both Chencang and the plank road had enemy troops, but he didn't know where the enemy would attack from.
Whether the information is true or false, once the judgment is wrong, it will be a failure.
