Although some people may think that the social structure of bees is a bit unfair, you can't deny that it is precisely because of this social structure that the bees can operate in an orderly manner, perform their duties, and produce a steady stream of honey. The same is true of human social structure. Although it is more complicated than a bee colony, there is no difference in essence. "Mr. G took out a handkerchief and wiped the residue of the dead bee on his finger.
"Is New Shanghai 0297 also a beehive that provides a steady stream of honey?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Good question. In my opinion, companies, cities, and even the extinct national system are actually beehives. They just look different." Mr. G spread his hands. "For thousands of years, humans have been working hard to find more efficient production and reproduction methods. From the use of tools, several industrial revolutions, to the emergence of global division of labor, our productivity has improved by leaps and bounds, and our material life has become more and more abundant. Look at the world around you. Compared to our ancestors who lived in caves, our lives are simply too good." "But at the same time, we have become more and more like our creations.
"But at the same time, we have become more and more like our own creations. Most people have lost their individuality, just like these worker bees. Every one of them looks the same and has become replaceable parts. We have forgotten what our true desires are and have been deceived by society. Gradually, we have become tools of production. We have been assigned different duties and put together so that the whole system can operate. However, the more productivity has developed, the more we have become like tools, until the appearance of clones has pushed everything to the extreme."
Mr. G paused. "When clones were first born, someone predicted that humans would get a set of more advanced and efficient production methods. Do you know how much it cost for an ordinary family to raise a child in the early years? Not to mention that when they get old and retire from the production line, they will still receive social insurance and continue to consume social resources. And the emergence of clones perfectly solved these problems.
"In their infancy, you can raise them in large quantities like pigs. You only need to feed them enough food to sustain their survival. There is almost no need for any additional inputs. When they grow up, give them a false memory, and you can mold them into the parts you need at will. For example, you, a bodyguard, a cook, a good employee … Put them directly into production. When they enter old age, or when their efficiency declines, you can destroy them directly. This is simply the perfect production tool. It's like a new type of worker bee that doesn't need to eat or drink.
As Mr. G spoke, he waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to bring the bucket of honey over. "But do you know what the same problem is between humans and bees? In the beginning, these bees only collected honey for the survival of the colony. Later, they forgot this most fundamental purpose and collected honey for the sake of collecting honey. In the end, they collected far more honey than they needed, and I, the beekeeper, benefited from it. "Oh.
Forgive me, I couldn't stop talking about bees and almost forgot about the important matter. The reason I'm looking for you this time is about the delivery. The transaction date has already been set, it will be the night after tomorrow. I don't mean to offend you, but I've seen the video of your previous battle, and I also know how you single-handedly defended my middleman from the hands of the biker gang. This is the reason why I chose you to be my courier. However, I hope you can understand that this transaction is very, very important to me, and I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong. "
"What do you mean?" Heng asked.
Mr. G was not in a hurry to answer. He watched as his two bodyguards brought a table and two chairs, covered the table with a tablecloth, set the tableware, and put a bottle of wine on it. After that, he continued.
"Before you actually start working for me, I hope to see what you're capable of. Only then can I know if the person I've spent a lot of money to hire is reliable or not. This request isn't too much, is it?"
Mr. G then stretched out his hand to Miss F. "And you, my beautiful fiancée, can you do me the honor of having afternoon tea with me?"
Miss F frowned when she heard that. "This is different from what we agreed on before."
"Yes, this is a small part that I decided to add at the last minute. I like our friend as much as you do. Because of this, I don't want anything to happen to him when he's delivering my package."
Miss F still wanted to say something, but she heard Heng say, "Fair enough. What's the test?"
"Since your job is to receive and deliver packages, please help me send this bucket of honeycomb to the storage room at the back of the garden. Also, help me bring my fiancée's favorite croissant from the kitchen. Be careful, this garden isn't safe. I've planted a lot of thorny flowers.
"Note, you only have 20 minutes. After the time is up or you are killed, it will be considered a failure." Mr. G set a countdown on his wristband. "Do you have any other questions?"
"Can I borrow your sword?" Heng said to Miss F.
"Why? Don't you like your sword?" Mr. G asked.
"My sword is too sharp. I'm worried that it will hurt your men," Heng said lightly.
Mr. G smiled when he heard that. "You don't have to worry about this. Your opponents are really bad guys. None of them deserve to die. I made an agreement with them. If they can kill you, all their debts will be written off. If they fail, even if they don't die in your hands, I will kill them. So please be careful. You can give up and quit the test at any time."
Having said that, Miss F still untied the sword on her waist and threw it to Heng. "Take it. My sword is made of tungsten steel. You should be able to use it."
A strange look flashed in Mr. G's eyes, but he did not say anything. He just nodded at Heng, "Good luck."
"Thank you." Heng took the sword, picked up the bucket of honey on the table, and walked to the back of the garden.
As a result, he met one of his opponents less than twenty meters away. A muscular man who had transformed his left arm into a chainsaw was waiting for him under a palm tree. When he saw Heng, he turned on the chainsaw and rushed to his target.
Heng stood in place and did not move until the muscular man rushed in front of him. Then, he swung his sword.
There was nothing special about this sword except that it was fast.
From the moment Heng moved the sword to the moment he sheathed it, the whole process took less than 0.2 seconds. His movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to see it with the naked eye.
After that, the muscular man's chainsaw hand slid down from his shoulder and smashed into his toes. The rotating sharp saw teeth directly cut off four of his toes. The muscular man did not know whether he should wail over the loss of his arms or toes.
