Chapter 1933 Order Eighteen
Temple of rocks.
The era of the awakened ones will inevitably come...
This is unquestionable...
The most fundamental impact of awakened people on ordinary people is the impact on values!
Ordinary people have the values of ordinary people, but the values of ordinary people will become meaningless in the face of the existence of the awakened person!
Just like the impact of natural disasters and man-made disasters on ordinary people...
No matter how happy or rich a family is...
If you encounter a fire, it may disappear in an instant...
Whether it is a fire, a flood, or an earthquake, it can completely destroy beautiful things in an instant, so the values will become meaningless in the face of such natural disasters!
No matter how much wealth a person has or what kind of happiness he has, he will be completely annihilated under natural disasters...
This is the case with natural disasters, and this is even more true with man-made disasters...
Especially various wars can easily completely destroy the lives of many people. Some people originally lived a happy and happy life, but they became refugees because of the war. They were forced to embark on the road of displaced escape...
In addition, medical accidents such as doctors or various tragedies caused by human factors can often completely break the original happiness in an instant!
This is also true for sudden diseases, or various car accidents...
For most people, this kind of natural disaster and man-made disaster often means real despair...
The reason is very simple...
For those who live in order, the most terrifying thing is the accident outside of this order...
The existence of order can ensure that the vast majority of people in this world can live normally under normal circumstances and gain wealth and status that match their own efforts...
However, only accidents are the most uncontrollable factor and the most terrifying accident among all orders...
Although there are various systems in reality to reduce the losses suffered by people in accidents, most of the so-called accidents are often irreversible. Even if there is enough money to compensate, it is often difficult to make up for the losses...
In fact, many times, accidents are always unpaid. Even if it is just a monetary compensation, it is difficult to get...
For example, if a worker is injured and causes disability, or many other natural disasters and man-made disasters, most of the time, compensation is just a psychological comfort. It is completely impossible to truly make up for the losses...
Just like the post-disaster reconstruction of an earthquake, although the government will help the affected people to overcome the initial difficulties, real post-disaster recovery still needs to be carried out by themselves. Whether it is psychological reconstruction or material reconstruction, it is a very difficult process!
After all, for most people, natural disasters are itself a kind of force majeure...
When facing force majeure, the feeling of powerlessness arises in the heart is difficult for people who have not experienced it!
Just like ordinary people often find it difficult to understand the psychological state of depression patients, because this state itself is an indescribable feeling. Only people who have had this feeling will understand such feelings. However, people who have not had this state will find it difficult to understand no matter how they imagine it...
By the same token, only those who have endured natural disasters will understand the feeling of despair!
The most fundamental reason why natural disasters make people desperate is...
The arrival of natural disasters itself is uncontrollable and unpredictable...
Like an earthquake, a disaster is essentially completely unpredictable...
What we talk about here is not that earthquakes are really impossible to predict, but that earthquake predictions are often meaningless...
For example, a country like Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes. In countries like Japan, the earthquake prediction is actually similar to the weather forecast, and it can be said to be part of the weather forecast...
However, most of the time, the intensity of earthquakes in Japan is very low, and most of the time it only shakes slightly...
That is because of this, this type of earthquake can be predicted, because even if it is predicted, it will not have any negative impact. In fact, even if it is not predicted, an earthquake of this level cannot cause any loss of personnel or property...
Just like a weather forecast...
Whether the weather forecast is accurate or not, it often does not have much impact on people in the true sense. Whether the weather forecast is accurate or inaccurate, it is just a matter of complaints. Even if the weather is not predicted, to be honest, it may not have any earth-shaking impact on people's lives...
After all, weather has a certain degree of consistency. Generally, what kind of weather is on the first day, and the next day, it will always continue such weather. Even if there is a change, it will not be a sudden change in temperature. Even if there is a sudden change in temperature, it may not have any impact on people...
In a sense, this small-scale and small-intensity earthquake in Japan is actually no different from ordinary thunder, rain, wind, etc.
However, natural disasters that are truly enough to cause large-scale casualties are often unpredictable...
The reason is very simple...
Of course, large earthquakes in the true sense are not without warning, and the Earthquake Bureau will certainly not ignore this...
However, it is precisely because the scale of the earthquake is too large that sometimes we cannot issue a preview!
The reason is very simple!
This is especially true even though the message cannot be confirmed 100%!
Because of the super natural disaster that can cause huge casualties and property losses, such news itself is actually almost the same as a natural disaster!
This shouldn't be difficult to understand...
Just like the real occurrence of the end of the world, or the prophecy that the end of the world may come, both of them are actually very lethal...
This is especially true for the destruction of social order...
If the end of the world comes, of course, it will undoubtedly destroy the entire world...
But the prophecy of the end of the world, especially the concise prophecy, is actually enough to cause huge panic and chaos...
Even if the credibility of this prediction is not that high, it will inevitably cause panic...
Many times, the negative emotions such as anxiety caused by this prophecy may be more desperate and painful than the arrival of the doomsday itself!
What is more painful than death is actually the process of waiting for death to come!
I once read a detective novel. The protagonist in the novel is an Avenger. The object of his revenge is his cheating wife. The way he chose to sanction his wife was to lock his wife in a small transparent room, and then put a huge cement block above the cell. Under the action of gravity, the cement block will gradually press down at an extremely slow speed...
The cement blocks press down very slowly, and it takes dozens of hours to slowly fall down, and then the entire cell is completely filled...
In this process, what is brought to the victim is a kind of despair and pain that comes from the heart. The pain itself is a more painful feeling than the arrival of death...
The victim knew that he would eventually be crushed to death by cement blocks, but in his heart, he was unwilling to die easily...
So, during the process of pressing the cement block...
The victim could only choose to change his posture with a slow breath, from being able to stand at the beginning to gradually being able to squat down, and finally had to lie flat on the ground, then wait for the thick cement bit by bit, crushing his chest and his sternum at a slow speed, and then gradually suffocating himself, gradually feeling the pain of the stage. In despair, he had no way to die quickly, so he could only be crushed slowly...
This kind of pain of death, in a sense, even more desperate than death itself...
By the same token, disasters are certainly terrible for ordinary people, but compared to disasters, the prediction of disasters is actually terrible and lethal!
Natural disasters like earthquakes are undoubtedly like this...
If you don’t predict the earthquake, you will definitely be criticized, but once you predict the earthquake and it will not happen in the end, the Earthquake Bureau will also be greatly criticized...
Because of forecasting large-scale earthquakes, this forecast itself will actually cause huge economic losses...
People in the forecasted areas will inevitably be affected, which will cause various chaos, a sharp drop in housing prices, and a significant depreciation of fixed assets. A large number of people will try to escape from their cities in various ways. The entire city will become depressed, and urban development will inevitably be hit by a huge blow...
This situation is almost impossible to avoid. As long as the National Earthquake Administration makes such a preview, it is almost unquestionable that such a thing will happen. After all, compared to wealth, people always value their own lives more. Even if there is only 10% of the possibility of earthquakes, most people will choose to evacuate rather than betting on life with earthquakes!
In a sense, previewing a major earthquake is equivalent to a bomb, especially the official estimate. Once the official speaks, no matter whether the earthquake itself will occur, the preview itself alone is enough to form large-scale chaos and cause huge economic losses...
In a sense, panic in the hearts of people is even more terrible than direct economic losses. Panic in the hearts of people often causes many criminal acts. Once the social order is out of control, it may even cause many very bad events. In fact, whenever a natural disaster comes, such man-made disasters are always inevitable. This is because of this. Therefore, whenever a natural disaster comes, the military's management is always inevitable...
