Chapter 678: Tearing up the

There is no smoke of gunpowder on this battlefield, and what is used as a weapon is human reason and wisdom, yet it is more lethal than a battlefield of real knives and guns.

Because of factors such as wearing top hats and facial angles, every councilor has shadows on their faces to a greater or lesser extent.

The others in their eyes become strange and treacherous at this moment, like anomalies that constantly exhale smoke and devour human bones.

Light has such a great impact on the environment that after O5-7's brain is nourished by hot blood, it is difficult to distinguish who has changed their position and who has become a potential ally.

But they are not the only one with a sense of dizziness; there are countless people watching this world-shaking debate, which may indicate the future situation of the galaxy.

"I'm a bit dizzy. Is there a class representative to summarize what the O5s are arguing about? I can't understand it at all."

"Dizzy +1, this file is all text content, I've already lost."

"Well, it's still O5-7 questioning what exactly is the 'status quo,' and why the various theories regarded as 'anomalies' are not normal science."

"Yes, and then both sides keep throwing out topics and clashing... but these are not important. The important thing is that now no one can out-argue Professor Fermi."

……

O5-1's words are not wrong.

The painful experiences that have played out time and time again in human history all confirm their statement.

Accompanied by unequal technology and unequal social forms, what often appears is a clear contrast between strong and weak.

And this allows the cruelest natural selection to play out time and time again in human civilization.

That is, the strong side no longer regards the weak side as the same race, and even regards the latter as humanoid animals, things that can be hunted and killed at will.

—Indigenous residents have also become some kind of rarity, with parts of their bodies displayed as precious collections by collectors.

"Reality Theory," "Narrative Theory," and "Thaumaturgy Theory" can certainly serve as guiding theories in some fields, creating some equipment with strange functions.

But they are better at creating strong individuals whose great power belongs to themselves—reality benders, divinities, magicians.

Further tearing apart human society, which is already full of contradictions and where the strong oppress the weak.

If such a situation really appeared, it would be better for all of humanity to ascend to godhood.

But even if all of humanity ascends to godhood, not all humans can become divinity.

The unclear talent between people is further magnified by these factors outside the "status quo."

But clearly, O5-7 does not think so.

Or rather.

They are considering a brand-new future for humanity.

—When humanity masters these theories sealed in the Foundation, human civilization will inevitably erupt with unprecedented potential.

At that time, everyone becoming a god may not be realistic, but at least humanity will possess the ability to transform nature at will.

Humanity's footsteps will no longer be limited by aerospace technology.

The solar system is just the starting point of human civilization; the galaxy, the supercluster, and even the entire universe should be the place where human civilization can show its talents.

And the Foundation, the former guardian of human civilization, now the stumbling block hindering human progress, needs to be moved away.

Or rather, O5-1, the old man who controls the Foundation, now needs to reconsider their position.

"Number One." O5-7 speaks softly.

"In our history, people who studied 'chemistry' were considered wizards, people who promoted 'heliocentrism' were burned to death, and Darwin, who discovered 'evolutionary theory,' was accused of being a heretic."

"If you and I had become the clergy of that era, we might have made the same reaction, thinking these things were 'anomalies'."

"At that time, these things also met the characteristics you mentioned—these theories destroyed the 'status quo'."

In that era, it might have had other names, such as "Holy Scripture," such as "Divine Will."

"Studying whether humans have a common ancestor with monkeys, or whether the sun revolves around the earth or the earth revolves around the sun, did not have any obvious impact on the lives of the general public at that time."

"It meets all your descriptions of 'anomalous technology'."

"You think they 'only have threats and no applications.' Do you really think this reason holds water?"

"You don't even know how much potential for 'anomalous technology' can be excavated outside the veil."

"—Rather, you just think they are too weird. You fear the various uncertain consequences caused by the disclosure of these technologies, worrying that they will eventually 'break the status quo'."

"However, what is the 'status quo'?"

In the end, everything goes around and returns to the starting point.

—"Status quo." ===== CHAPTER 680 =====
