But the Business Association divides science bluntly into two parts: one is science, the other is technology.
Wildlings as well as Citizens below the Fifth Level can only access the "technology" part, which is all applied knowledge.
As for the science part, it’s even more distorted and abnormal.
Most scientists on Source Star likewise never pursue fundamental principles, only seeking to use the exhaustive method to repeatedly try new uses for existing materials.
The only facet with perhaps a sense of innovation is the continuously updated and upgraded new style advanced wrist watch, as well as the method to reduce the production cost of advanced wrist watches.
In historical records, the original First Level formal wrist watch of the past could only produce 0.01 Contribution Points when worn.
There was not even any mention of renting wrist watches back then, and now this figure has increased a hundredfold.
Of course, prices at that time were also much cheaper compared to now.
0.01 Contribution Points was enough to buy food for an adult to satiate hunger for a day.
As a 21st-century scientific researcher, Ren Zhong finds these circumstances utterly incomprehensible.
What is most important in advancing human civilization?
Not the nobility!
It is science!
Where does science originate?
From wisdom!
Whose wisdom?
The wisdom of every individual!
Who says that a genius brain cannot emerge from a poor family?
To deprive the poor of the right to education closes not just the channel for the poor to achieve class mobility, but also the ladder for the advancement of civilization!
This will only lead society into stagnation, completely stifling the ability to innovate.
There’s not a spark of social wisdom on the entire planet.
This is a man-made shackle.
If Source Star were a completely isolated star system with visibly limited resources, then that’s that.
But now, interstellar trade takes place every day, evidently a portion of humanity has ventured out.
The universe is so vast, with so many resources, and there is human freezing technology, so why can’t we spread like stars across the sky?
These various circumstances do not conform to Ren Zhong’s understanding of human instincts.
However, that said, Ren Zhong also knows that the flaws he perceives are merely his own individual "biased" interpretation.
In the eyes of regular people on Source Star, the world is supposed to be this way, humanity is supposed to be this way.
All seemingly illogical aspects have already been patched with explanations by the numerous Citizen Scholars from the long river of time.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, before his awakening, Source Star had indeed been operating in this manner steadily for at least a few hundred years.
Fortunately, up to now, Ren Zhong has already become a mature individual of Source Star.
He no longer becomes inexplicably angry at the sight of illogicalities.
He just buries the obsession for change deep in his heart, silently marking himself.
He did not attract Hunters by reviewing history.
