Chapter 89: Lucifer’s only mistake (nutrition solution added)

Although it is true that the church often makes some overly conservative decisions, no one thinks that building a milk powder factory will also touch the nerves of the church.

Sure enough, the reason this time had nothing to do with the church.

The insider said: "That Miss Watt said that she can design an assembly line for a milk powder factory, which needs a steam engine as power..."

Everyone was silent.

Well, since steam engines are involved, everyone understands what Archimedes is struggling with.

Different from their church in the Garden of Eden - yes, they are very proud of their church now, and feel that the church in the Garden of Eden is smarter and more enlightened than other churches - the church in Utopia... I am afraid it is not so easy to open this hole and let the steam engine

Put into use.

"Yes, the Church of Utopia disagrees." The person who seemed to have inquired specifically said, "I heard news that the Church of Utopia even plans to send people to the Garden of Eden to ask what the Church of Eden wants to do."

"..."

Everyone fell into silence, and it took a while before someone spoke.

"why?"

This man questions his soul.

"It's obviously a good thing. As long as the scope of use is controlled, it will be good for everyone. Why doesn't the church agree?"

"Isn't the church worried about the unemployment problem... It would be better if we all work together to find a solution. There is no need to ban it directly, right?"

Their complaints did not come from selfishness, but from the desire to make the world a better place. Therefore, divine punishment did not fall on these people, which made Raphael feel a little complicated.

…Does the Utopian church give such a bad impression?

It seemed that he couldn't just read the report, he had to start from the beginning.

Thinking like this, Raphael couldn't help but said: "Maybe the Utopian church will change its mind."

What responded to him was the sighs of everyone, as well as pessimistic and humble wishes.

"As long as the Church of Eden is not persuaded to change back by the Church of Utopia, we will be satisfied... I hope that the Sage can continue to perform stably."

Raphael: "………………"

What kind of life are humans living like this...is it so difficult?

Raphael left the small group with mixed emotions, went to the long table to look at the contents of the buffet, and then walked around again. After roughly understanding the rules of these board games, he took the French fries and joined the group.

Went to the battlefield, playing mahjong while casually asking for some information.

While he was in the chess and card room on the second floor, he also used his clairvoyance ability to watch the discussion of the scientists in the tailor shop next door, and he became fascinated without even realizing it.

In the evening, Lucifer received Raphael in the bedroom on the third floor.

Raphael scanned Lucifer's room.

It was very neat, but there were some strange equipment on the floor that couldn't be seen for what they were used for. Next to them were the potato chips and jelly that he had just seen in the cafeteria today, as well as... milk tea?

Raphael hesitated for a moment and didn't have time to ask about the equipment that he couldn't identify. He just imitated Lucifer and sat on another beanbag, and was instantly surprised by the touch of the beanbag.

"It feels more comfortable than clouds..." Raphael looked through the internal structure and could only see a bunch of particles. Although he could change it, he still didn't understand the technical content inside. "This is also from another world.

invention?"

"Yes, after seeing another world, and then returning to this world, I deeply sympathize with human beings." Lucifer couldn't help but sigh after saying this, "They are too harsh on themselves, there is really no need to live in this world.

It’s so painful! There’s nothing wrong with relaxing at all.”

I heard that there was a rope skipping competition in the Civic Square today... It was just such a thing. He initially brought it up just to embarrass the old man, but he didn't expect that it would quickly become popular throughout the city, which shows how poor people's lives are.

Even if there are mahjong and poker games, they cannot cover everyone's preferences. It seems that there is still a long way to go before everyone can love life.

Raphael hesitated to speak.

Lucifer saw his embarrassment and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Can I still be angry with you?"

Seeing that Lucifer had expressed his attitude, Raphael spoke tactfully: "Do you feel that the church you created seems to be contrary to your ideals to some extent?"

Lucifer suddenly felt hit hard: "..."

It hurts my heart, old man.

The reason why we are so far behind the earth on this issue is of course because of the church and divine punishment!

"Lucy?" Raphael looked at him, "What do you think?"

Lucifer said in a subtle tone: "Back then, I never thought it would become like this..."

If Lucifer, the script master who planned everything all the way, missed anything, it was probably the development process of the church.

Obviously at the beginning, he just wanted to teach humans knowledge. He couldn't handle it as an angel himself, so he entrusted it to a few humans to spread it, which was more efficient... Who knew that this group that only had a few sages at the beginning would turn into something in the future?

A behemoth like the church has even become one of the stumbling blocks hindering the development of mankind.

Things in the world are not as expected, and that's probably it.

Raphael looked at Lucifer, who rarely showed a depressed expression, and comforted him: "Actually, the existence of the church has done more good than bad. At least it has saved us a lot of effort in our work."

"Yes." Lucifer rubbed his forehead, "But I think it's almost time to dissolve the church...or in other words, carry out church reform. They are really too lenient."

"Then what do you want to do?" Raphael asked seriously.

Lucifer was silent for three seconds, looked at Raphael and said, "Which city are you responsible for?"

"...Utopia." Raphael heard the song and knew its elegant meaning, and immediately followed Lucifer's train of thought, "Do you want to reform the church starting from Utopia?"

"Yes." Lucifer said frankly, "There is no need for this in the Garden of Eden for the time being. They have already listened to me under Michael's arrangement. If they were to reform directly, it would be too conspicuous and would be in everyone's sight.

They will all end up in the Garden of Eden."

But if the reform starts from a utopia that is far away from the Garden of Eden, people will not think of the Garden of Eden in the first place.

As for discovering the connection with the Garden of Eden later... let's wait and see when the time comes. The boat will naturally reach the bridge.

Maybe by then, Lucifer's existence will have been exposed, and naturally such a trivial matter will not matter.

Raphael thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay. Speaking of this, I actually want to try to introduce a questionnaire. It feels like the report I received is missing a lot of details... Satan can lend me a loan then.

Would you like to use it?"

"Okay." Lucifer agreed on Satan's behalf. Anyway, Satan was his deputy, and it was natural for him to be responsible for arranging work for Satan. "When the investigation report here in the Garden of Eden is completed, let him go to Utopia."

After solving a problem on his mind, Raphael finally relaxed a little.

"Originally I just wanted to come down and see how you were doing, but instead I found myself a lot of things to do." Raphael said with emotion, "Satan looks very busy. I saw it, and you won't make arrangements for Michael again."

Let's work?"

Lucifer coughed: "Well, you may not believe it, but in fact he volunteered to help..."

Raphael held his forehead: "I understand, you don't need to say anything."

He is indeed a workaholic Lucifer. Although he seems to be much more relaxed after losing his memory, the people around him are not at all leisurely!

Lucifer changed the subject: "How about we discuss how to reform the church."

"Okay." Raphael looked more serious, "Let's talk about your thoughts first."

"I suggest opening up a certain degree of free trade...I mean, take away the power of censorship from the church, and people can open any store they want. If they encounter divine punishment, they will suffer it themselves. They don't know where to change it.

Go to the church for help and find out what’s wrong.”

If you make too much money like this and don't spread it out for charity, you will encounter a world of divine punishment. There is no need for any macro-control organization. You can maintain stability by relying on divine punishment, and you don't have to worry about monopoly and vicious competition.

Such issues, therefore, the advantages of opening up free trade outweigh the disadvantages.

Raphael nodded while listening: "Yes, actually I also discovered that Utopia's stores have changed very little in the past few hundred years... Even if they worry about unemployment, they don't allow new stores and industries to appear.

,How to increase positions?”

Lucifer glanced at Raphael approvingly, feeling that finally someone could follow his train of thought, which was not easy: "Yes! It's such a simple truth, but some people just don't understand it... But is your Utopia that exaggerated?"

"Yes." Raphael said helplessly, "If Eden opens a store first and then reviews it, then Utopia submits an application first and can open a store only if it is approved, and review is also inevitable."

Lucifer was speechless: "So it seems that Eden Garden is pretty good. If it passes the review, the store can continue to open... Didn't you find anything wrong before?"

Raphael's eyes drifted: "Human beings are living well, so I don't notice any problems..."

This time he came to the Garden of Eden and found that the mental outlook of human beings, including the elderly, could be so energetic, which made him vaguely feel that the people in Utopia were a little lifeless.

...No, in fact, he didn't actually care much about human beings before.

Human beings have a short lifespan and weak "light". Apart from a gentle and obedient personality, there are really no merits worthy of attention. He just works according to the arrangements of God the Father.

But there seems to be something different about the humans here in the Garden of Eden.

It seems that the "light" is brighter and the personality is more prominent. When watching the humans next door arguing over a piece of data, the image feels more vivid than ever.

For the first time, Raphael began to question divine punishment, suspecting that it erased the uniqueness of human beings to a certain extent.

Father God pays so much attention to mankind, but they have never discovered the shining point of mankind. Is it because of the existence of divine punishment?

Lucifer...his attitude towards humans has been different from the beginning. Does he know something like Father God that they don't?

Raphael had many questions in his mind, but Lucifer himself had lost his memory. Asking questions now would not yield results, so he just kept the questions in his mind.

He had a hunch that as long as he stayed by Lucifer's side, perhaps the questions he had always had could be answered, because running away from home this time should be Lucifer's desperate move. Regardless of success or failure, there should be a result.

Feeling that Raphael's eyes were a little strange, Lucifer frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's continue." Raphael shook his head, "Where did you just say?"

"We are talking about open free trade." Lucifer said, "I personally hope that Utopia can introduce steam engines and set a precedent for other cities."

"Okay." Raphael nodded, "I will go talk to the people from the Utopia Church... Speaking of which, I have never asked you, what are your expectations for the future of mankind?"

"Yes." Lucifer sighed deeply, "At the very least, invent the computer, right?"

Raphael: "...?"

"It's too troublesome to explain it in words. Come and try this." With that, Lucifer put the switch into Raphael's hand, "There's just some power left... Come on, play a game of football!"

Raphael: "...???"
