Chapter 2598
In fact, Lynch's words did not completely dispel Connor's idea of ​​staying.

Everyone has something to pursue, and Connor is no exception.

Lynch satisfied his desire for money, but with the arrival of the end of the world, he had lost his political pursuits, and all that was left was the pursuit of prestige.

More than ten years later, at the age of 70, for a 70-year-old federal man, he has nothing to fear.

Because he was facing the most terrifying thing in the world. At that time, the only thing he wanted was to have a longer life.

If he cannot get a longer life, he will pursue another kind of eternity and immortality.

Lynch also knew that it would be difficult to convince Connor at once, but he believed that Connor would eventually compromise.

Because he soon realized that the world would be divided.

There is no longer a concept of country or territory, only the distinction of shelter numbers.

"They said they planned to reveal the news to the outside world bit by bit, and I was a little worried."

Connor showed a serious expression, "I'm worried that the order of society will be destroyed. Lynch, Congress and you are taking too many risks!"

What he worries about is that poor people will develop a "carnival mentality" because of the end of the world, like students before summer vacation.

They have passed the last main course and are also fearless!
The rulers of the Federation and even the entire world have spent hundreds of thousands of years condensing and condensing the essence of their rule. It is difficult to continue to suppress people's desire for true freedom!
Think about it, when a worker knows that he no longer needs to worry about mortgages, children’s school fees, family expenses, and pensions and medical illnesses.

How can capitalists ensure that they can still accept the fate of being oppressed and exploited in factories?
Capitalists can't do this!
Because the end of the world is coming, the ruling class's methods have completely failed. They no longer consider and worry about the consequences of their wanton actions. They can do whatever they want!

Once these people lose their restraints, the social order and the rules of the game will be broken!
This is a cruel question, and it may very well come true!

The federal art of governance may be the most euphemistic, but definitely the sharpest. People are burdened with various "debts" from birth, and these debts can only be released by serving the capitalists.

Whether you work in a factory or run a small business, you are actually accepting exploitation and oppression, but the form of expression is slightly different.

Once these people are "unbound", the Federation will fall into complete turmoil.

Even the whole world will be in turmoil.

Lynch didn't care that much about Connor's worries, "You think too much. You just need to understand that as long as people don't want to die, they must live."

"As long as people live, they must squeeze their own value in exchange for the most basic supplies needed to continue life."

"Unless they can go without food or drink, they will eventually have to return to the new rules of the game."

"Connor, the end of the world is coming, don't you think...the rules of how this world works are still the same as before?"

Connor's eyes swayed slightly, and he probably understood what Lynch meant.

Although he is not very good at or does not understand many things at all, he is very good at political things.

Lynch continued to go deeper and said, "Food, heating, as long as you grab these two locks, you can make them obedient."

Connor was a little unsure, "Are we able to convince all the grain merchants to side with us?"

Lynch's response was decisive, "Whoever opposes it is a sinner and an enemy of the continuation of human civilization."

"The enemy should be destroyed!"

"The Federation has a powerful army, Connor. Our spears can not only be used externally, but also internally, as long as this is necessary!"

Connor pondered for a long time, "You are right, I think too much."

He then asked Lynch about the situation in Vault No. [-], and Lynch also picked out some relatively simple content.

There is actually nothing to keep secret, because the Holy Harmony Society will definitely inspect the construction status of each shelter.

Even if Vault [-] was built independently by Lynch, they would learn from its technologically advanced parts for the sake of the continuation of human civilization.

When Kang An heard that Lynch planned to use geothermal power supply and human power supply, he almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

After coughing a few times, he awkwardly wiped the water droplets sprayed from his nostrils, then rolled his eyes and said, "You are really bad, Lynch!"

"Even if the world ends, don't forget to find something for them to do."

Of course, this is actually just an expression of emotion from Connor, and he actually knows very well why he gives people things to do.

It is definitely not just about squeezing their labor force and surplus value, it is purely about social stability.

According to the conclusions drawn from the research of sociologists, when the unemployed population in society shows an obvious upward trend.The federal crime rate will quickly follow, and will increase exponentially at different stages.

And the security rate will plummet like a cliff, falling to a low that people can't imagine!

The core reason for this phenomenon is “too much leisure”.

Some sociologists believe that this has nothing to do with whether people have jobs, but is mainly caused by poverty.

Poverty will change people's thinking logic. They will try to change their past living and working habits and find some roads that have not been traveled before to try to break through.

But during the Great Depression, some areas also proved that even if they were poor, as long as the employment rate did not drop significantly, the social security rate could be guaranteed.

In some experiments with social animals, scientists have also found that if these animals are placed in an area without any "activity equipment",

Provide endless food and water, but nothing else, and it's a bare environment.

After these animals experience a brief period of "glory", they will eventually fall into internal strife and lead to the end of civilization.

But in other experimental subjects, sufficient food and sleep are not provided, and some equipment that can be used for "entertainment" is provided, complex terrain is created, and the animals are given a certain "private space."

Then this experimental group will always maintain a stable social form, and war will only break out when the number of races exceeds a certain scale and food and water sources cannot supply all animals for survival.

Then enter the state of reincarnation, and after a large group of animals die, walk the same path again.

Although tragic, at least civilization will continue and will not eventually perish.

As a more advanced social animal, humans are naturally more obedient to this natural law, so allowing them to ride bicycles to generate electricity actually avoids the birth of danger.

Of course it looks like oppression, but it's not.

Lynch talked about some of his designs for the shelter, such as chip technology and information technology, and Connor also listened with interest.

To him, what Lynch said was like something he had seen in some science fiction novels. It had an inexplicable thirst for knowledge, but it also felt a little creepy.

Science is a rational thing. Absolute rationality will not bring happiness, but will only bring fear!
Soon it was dinner time, and Lynch had forgotten that this was the first time he had sat at this table and enjoyed dinner cooked by the First Lady herself.

Although she only heated up the things that the cooks had already prepared, in any case, this was the last step that she completed by herself, which was no different from making it by herself.

Connor's wife first congratulated Lynch on his birthday, and then the topic shifted from Lynch to their daughter.

"I have recently taken on two apocalyptic-themed movies. Lynch, do you think the apocalypse will really come?"

Lynch glanced at Connor, who shook his head slightly. He did not tell his wife and daughter what was about to happen.

It's cruel.

Especially for their daughter, the girl is only in her 20s and her best life has just begun, but what awaits her is that it will be difficult to see the sun again in the future.

He must endure the maddening environment in a dark, damp and cramped underground space until he dies.

He couldn't tell his daughter such a cruel fact. The only thing he could do was to let her spend the last few years happily.

Lynch pursed his lips, "Anything can happen, don't rush to oppose my opinion..."

He could see that the girl wanted to oppose Lynch's point of view, but Lynch didn't give her the chance.

"Let's make the simplest assumption. Do you think that ordinary pedestrians who pass by you may one day have wealth and power that surpasses everyone else?"

Connor's daughter said almost subconsciously, "How is this possible?"

But soon she was stunned, because there was such a living example in front of her!
Connor and his wife both smiled, while Lynch tilted his head and spread his hands, "Look, the 'miracle' is right here!"

"So, girl, anything can happen in this world and it's not unbelievable."

"Just like many people think that we are the only life in the universe, but how far have we explored this universe?"

"Perhaps just like a drop of water compared to the ocean, our poor understanding of nature prevents us from understanding the rules of the world, let alone its trajectory!"

"Perhaps one day, a group of aliens will come to this world in a very advanced aircraft through the atmosphere and send us friendly or unfriendly greetings."

"It is also possible that one day in the future, the end of the world that we are worried about will suddenly come without any of us realizing it!"

"In the future, everything is possible!"
