Steel Chambers of War

Chapter 77: Reflections on the Great Screening

   Rong Xiang, who came back downstairs, still couldn't calm down, especially when he heard the various sounds of ‘ding ding dang dong’ above, he always had the urge to go up and take a look. It's just that he always kept calm in his heart, which made him suppress the impulse and start thinking about one thing...In this interstellar age, the era of theoretically extremely rich material, why would there still be the poor people upstairs?

  Don't these poor people work hard? No, it can be said that they are doing their best to be able to live as a person, but why they can only barely survive when they obtain resources?

He opened his personal terminal and browsed the various course options again... It is clear that the Iron Curtain Battle Court has prepared the most complete ascent path for talents from all walks of life, but why? So many people can only rely on the hardest physical labor to make ends meet?

   Even like the example of the freckled girl, I am afraid that several generations of people have lived in this class and cannot raise their heads. Maybe her offspring will continue to live like this... Rong Xiang doesn't understand and feels very dissatisfied. He doesn't like this hierarchical state, he feels that this should not be the treatment that a strong and hardworking person should deserve.

   "The system queries the number of poor people in the Iron Curtain and the proportion of people in each class." Rong Xiang gave instructions to his auxiliary system.

"Ding, according to the host's request, the result of the query is: the average daily income is less than 200 iron curtain coins, and they can barely get enough food and clothing. The total population of 10.3 billion accounts for 57% of the iron curtain battle court population; the average daily income is between 200 and 1,000 iron curtain coins. The middle-income people are generally those who have a skill and can live a worry-free life. The total number is 6.1 billion, accounting for 33.8% of the population; the high-income people whose daily income is more than 1,000 iron curtain coins are the leaders in all walks of life, with a total number of 900 million. It accounts for 5% of the population; only those with a total of less than 800 million and 4.2% of the population are the upper class, that is, the super fighter class."

   Rong Xiang doesn’t quite understand why it is obvious that as long as they pass those completely free public course assessments, they can get a decent job, but why 57% of people still struggle to live so much?

He clicked on those courses again, chose one at random and went in to listen to the lecture... He felt boring after listening to it for a while, because he had experienced four mental breakthroughs so far, and courses of this level are nothing for him. Like a child's play. He doesn't even need to memorize the course content completely, because his auxiliary system will record relevant information and call it whenever he needs it...

   Wait, auxiliary system? !

   Rong elephant suddenly discovered a very critical problem, that is, those poor families probably won't have the opportunity to obtain even the most common auxiliary system!

   He hurriedly inquired the price of the auxiliary system, and his face was a bit bad to see that the cheapest auxiliary system was 500 units of zero...This is not something that poor families can save! Even for middle-income families, it will take more than ten years or even a generation of accumulation after deducting the necessity for survival before they can buy even the cheapest one.

Rong Xiang knew how happy he was. His mother, who had never been masked before, bought him one of the most expensive auxiliary systems from the beginning... The feeling of looking forward to being a child, even now, still reminds me. Rong Xiang felt warm in this matter.

   So it is actually the auxiliary system like this ‘gold finger’, which is actually the culprit that divides humans into different classes? Those who have the assistance of an auxiliary system learn anything that only has an intelligent or semi-intelligent AI-assisted statistics and sorting, which is equivalent to a disguised improvement of a person's learning ability or talent in a certain industry. What about people without assistance systems? Intelligence relies on one's own wisdom and hard work to learn, but a lot of complicated knowledge is probably a heavenly existence for most people.

   "But there will always be some real geniuses who will stand out from the poor, right?" Rong Xiang thought of the academic tyrants in his previous life, and then suddenly realized that this might be the purpose of the Iron Curtain or the Star Empire?

This kind of social structure, like a huge screen, constantly screens out the gifted children among the poor and then becomes a member of the upper class... If this goes on, there will be more and more middle and upper classes in this social structure , And these are all through the "one-time screening", their offspring will be higher than the poor in terms of talent and starting point. And the "second screening" is to become a super soldier from ordinary people! Although it is rumored that it is difficult to produce offspring among super fighters, once offspring are born, they are often born with attribute bonuses... Isn't this the ultimate goal of the original agreement 57: to promote human evolution? !

   This is really an inference that is admirable but has to sigh. Because this is cruel to those poor people who can enjoy more resources but have to live on the poverty line, but for the overall humanity, it is a very necessary progressive measure...unless there is a way to make All mankind has been fundamentally evolved, otherwise this method will still be carried on~www.readwn.com~ After thinking of this, Rong Xiang bought some more things on his personal terminal, and then listened. Suddenly there was another shattering sound from the roof...

   He climbed to the top of the building again, but saw the broken parts and the freckled girl who had fallen blue and purple on her body... It was obvious that she had managed to piece together the exoskeleton and tried to take off and fell off. This time he could not hear the girl's apology, because a wisp of blood was slipping from her forehead and she was lying on the ground without moving.

   Rong elephant hurried forward two steps. Fortunately, he saw that the girl was still breathing, and the life magnetic field under the control of the micro-electricity was weak, but there was no sign of extinguishing...

   "Really, don't pack the tickets if you know that the technology is not good!" Rong Xiang gave a sigh of relief, and then quietly replaced him with a set of Avalon that he didn't use much...Avalon Transformer.

The transformer is a professional maintenance assistant, Avalon. Under the control of the Rong Elephant, four robotic arms immediately stretched out from the toolkit behind the transformer to pick up the scattered exoskeleton fragments and start repairing...no, said It's almost the same as the magic change!

   Can the performance of this old style exoskeleton be able to enter the magic eye of the Rong Xiang? Don't be kidding, it's just a shame for him to fix it...but it can't be changed too well, because the more high-end exoskeletons often need higher-level energy sources to drive, I'm afraid this little girl also There will be no such resources to support the maintenance costs of an advanced energy core. But some changes to optimize performance and improve energy utilization are still possible... If it is not for fear that doing too well will cause unnecessary danger to the little girl, he even wants to completely renovate the exoskeleton for her !

   To be honest, Rong Xiang felt that he had never thought so much and so carefully for a person.
