Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 515 "Rewards" of the Undead Crew Association

Demeter was slightly taken aback, as if she didn't expect Ke Lan to ask such a question. After about three seconds, she replied: "The decision is yours."

"In other words, I can sell tickets to determine who is eligible to enter the S-019 ruins for exploration, and I can even use this place as a tourist attraction... I think, those wealthy families The young masters and ladies of the nobility should fight their heads for such a ticket."

"You are free to choose the operating model, and we will not interfere with it," Demeter said.

"But, you are not worried about me selling tickets to people from heretic sects?" Ke Lan asked again.

This is a tricky and sensitive issue that both parties have to face—since the undead crew decided to let Ke Lan take full charge of the operation of the S-019 relic, which is the ancient battleship "Yagunaktor", Then, in the process of pursuing the maximization of benefits, it is natural that some things that are contrary to the position of the undead crew will be inevitable.

You must know that in the old era, in order to make money, some businessmen even sold important supplies to people in enemy countries—in the eyes of capital, interests always come first, and neither nationality nor morality can constrain them. Without a powerful violent machine to control it, the power of capital will definitely become the chief culprit of world turmoil.

After all, there are few ways in this world to make money faster than making war fortunes.

Demeter looked at Ke Lan and said: "You have witnessed a lot of atrocities committed by heretical sects, and its founder 'Prophet' even had a direct conversation with you. You should be very clear that he chose a path with no future." He and his heretical sect will eventually go to destruction—otherwise, why do you think the crew would give up such an opportunity to allow all human beings to evolve into higher-level creatures... Individual strength is not real strength , the strength of civilization is the foundation of a race's foothold in the universe."

Although she didn't directly answer this question, Ke Lan had to admit that her rhetoric was far more convincing than directly answering "We believe in you".

Ke Lan even has reason to believe that in the hands of the Undead Crew Club, there should be a hole card with more weight than "Yagunaktor"... This so-called "reward" may also be a part of the assessment.

"Haha, I was just joking." Ke Lan showed an extremely hypocritical smirk, "But I am a little curious about why you gave me the right to operate the S-019 ruins instead of directly Send a crew member to take over the ship - to be honest, I'm a layman, and when it comes to rewards and stuff, you guys just give me an unlimited credit card with no repayments... anyway for you guys , things like credit points are just a bunch of data."

"If you think so, you're very wrong." Demeter replied, "Credit points are essentially the same as banknotes in the old era, although the central bank can increase fiscal revenue in disguise by printing more banknotes, Temporarily alleviate the financial crisis, but the consequence of doing so is to accelerate the collapse of the social financial system - in the old era, there were more than [-] countries and regions in the world, dozens of world-class economies, despite this, there were still several outbreaks Economic crisis... But now, we only have an ark and a population of less than [-] million. Such a social structure has a very weak risk-taking capacity. The public is very sensitive to these things. If there is a large fluctuation in the purchasing power of credit points If not, then the entire human society will immediately fall into chaos.”

"So, even you guys can't 'print money' recklessly?"

"Of course not." Demeter nodded, "Although I think that if you are given a credit card with an unlimited limit, as long as you don't use this card to buy assets and shares of major consortiums and only use it for daily consumption , it will not affect the financial structure of the Ark, but we cannot set this precedent. At present, the total amount of credit points circulating on the Ark is in a state of dynamic balance... Ark officials, major financial groups and the public have formed a This kind of unlimited card is equivalent to a BUG in a perfect computer program. The undead crew will not allow this kind of BUG to appear. Even if it temporarily does not affect the operation of the program. any effect."

"It seems that as a leader, there are still many things to consider." Ke Lan said.

This group of guys seems to be a bunch of obsessive-compulsive and perfectionists, the kind who can't tolerate the slightest mistake in their eyes.

However, it can also be seen from this point that they are different from the Prophets—if the Prophets were the rulers of the Ark, let alone maintaining the economic system, it would be good if he didn’t send everyone to the test bench up.

It is estimated that the entire human civilization will directly regress back to that dark slave society.

No... It might be flattering him to say that he is a slave society. The prophet is definitely a loyal supporter of Darwinism. If you take off the disguise of a "religious organization", then heretical sects are more like a herd of the weak and the strong. The strength of an individual represents the absolute right to speak...In their eyes, the same kind can be either a partner or an opponent...or even...

"food".

It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in such a group... The core idea of ​​Darwinism is "survival of the fittest", but when the external environment is bad enough, even those individuals who can be counted as "excellent" He also had to face the fate of being eliminated... According to the Prophet, as long as a few people...even if he is the only one who completes the final evolution, it is considered a "victory".

As for other individuals, all of them can be sacrificed or even abandoned.

If it weren't for the Seed of Corrosion's high requirements for the physique of the "container", Ke Lan estimates that the current heretic sect has already been fully "containerized"...

For some reason, Ke Lan suddenly had a terrifying thought: If Ark did not set up the "crime of exile" but executed all the people who should have been exiled, would the heresy sect be fundamental? What about the soil that didn't develop?

Anyway, the survival rate of the exiles is less than one in ten, and for most people, it is no different from the death penalty.

Is the establishment of the "crime of exile" by the top management of the Ark to deter the public, or to prevent the criminals from taking some extreme measures because they have nowhere to go?

Or, are they using these exiles to explore those untouched areas on Planet Alpha?
