Chapter 725: The Passage of Time (Part 4)

“In addition, the original governmental management responsibilities, including those related to civil affairs and legal affairs, have all been taken over by constructs. These Worker Bees are directly controlled by the main brain, having no desires or even independent thoughts, so naturally, there is no corruption or exploitation, and the efficiency of power operation has truly reached 100%.”

“Now, the productivity of our world has been completely liberated, with all production labor and the distribution of all labor results being uniformly managed by the main brain.”

Su Mo was incredibly surprised upon hearing this.

This form of society was something Su Mo always thought unattainable, because human nature is selfish, and everyone pursues profit. As long as human nature does not change, such a society would be impossible to achieve.

But when human productivity is liberated and all management and distribution actions are uniformly managed by a higher will, a brand-new social form emerges.

No wonder he sees so many handsome men and beautiful women on the streets, each glowing with vitality.

The reason is simple: nobody needs to work anymore, everyone has achieved “financial freedom,” so you too would glow with vitality.

Amidst the surprise, Su Mo also appeared a bit worried: “But in such a way, won’t people become useless by just lying down and enjoying life without working every day…”

Chu Nanyi shook his head with a smile: “Commander, you’ve misunderstood. Constructs only take over production, service, and management positions.”

“Humans still need to work; the main brain has left all ‘creative’ work to humans.”

Su Mo muttered: “Creative work?”

Chu Nanyi: “For example, artistic work including painting, sculpture, music, dance, theater, and film. Design work in clothing, architecture, and aesthetics. And crucial scientific research work for the future of humanity is still conducted by humans.”

“The main brain believes that the human species which has created such a brilliant civilization, possess a romantic nature incomparable to constructs, and they are born to be liberated from meaningless physical labor to exert their creative talents.”

After hearing this, a massive wave surged in Su Mo’s heart.

The constructs in the hive mind conduct production management.

Humans, with their romantic nature, take root in the field of creation.

The two species maximize their rationality and sensibility, collaboratively pushing the world forward.

What a harmonious society.

After coming back to his senses, Su Mo said: “Uh, but I still have a question. You said this world has no concept of money, so can I understand it as work having no ‘reward’?”

“According to my judgment of human nature, many people would still choose to lie flat in such a society. After all, creative work also requires mental effort.”

“Anyway, for me, if it makes no difference whether I work or not, I would definitely lie at home and play games every day…”

Chu Nanyi laughed mysteriously: “The main brain considered that point. Now, although there is no concept of money, wealth disparity and social classes still exist.”

“The material benefits people enjoy in life are distributed based on their contributions in the creative field, distinguished into several levels.”

“For example, the two before you, Qi Ling and Future, as top scientific researchers, enjoy material benefits comparable to past human elites, living like kings in large estates, equipped with top luxury cars, and have the right to enjoy the rarest food.”

Speaking of this, he pointed to himself with a bitter smile: “As for people like me who only know how to flirt every day, I’m just allocated a small apartment and an ordinary vehicle, eating and using things that are common and basic.”

“The main brain knows that humans are prone to laziness, so it still sets reward targets as motivation to make everyone more proactive.”

“This world still has wealth and class differences, but the differences now are entirely up to you, unlike before where they were artificially created.”

“If you don’t want to work hard and choose to lie flat and give up, then you can only enjoy the lowest level of material treatment, and you can’t blame anyone.”

“Moreover, the biggest difference now from before is that the ‘upper limit’ of material enjoyment for humans hasn’t changed much, but the ‘lower limit’ has greatly improved.”

“Even the people at the bottom of the current social division can still receive adequate humanitarian guarantees, with a clean and comfortable residence, enough food and clothing, living a decent life.”

“If you want to climb from the bottom to the top, for example, to live in a bigger house or drive a better car, it depends on your personal efforts and talents.”

Su Mo appeared a bit lost as he looked back at this vast city.

In those luxurious buildings where the “social elites” reside, he imagined people inside working in scientific research like Qi Ling and Future, striving for the bright future of humanity, or exploring the beauty of humanity in the spiritual realm.

Then his gaze shifted to those ordinary residences on the distant streets.

Life inherently differs, not everyone has creative talents, and the gaps between people are destined to exist.

There are naturally top talents and geniuses, just as there are ordinary people with no talent.

But even these weaker individuals can still be supported by the main brain, living a decent life, albeit not luxurious.

With millions of great mansions, the world shelters all weary souls.

A compassionate verse from an ancient poet now plays out in this distant future world.

Su Mo gradually came back from that sense of distance, softly asking: “So… how are issues of illegality resolved?”

“There’s a dark side to human nature no matter what, absolute light does not exist.”
