Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1600 - 72: Ever-Burning Wheels

The resounding singing voice rang out on the speeding motorbike, they shuttled through the city, meteors racing through the night, gazed upon by countless nocturnal wanderers, the forerunners of the era.

The night need not be for rest, nor shall the day pause, in this city, day and night alike will be traversed by traffic, will be bustling and prosperous.

If it could be said that yesterday’s Federation was a chaotic tangle of mountain peaks and buildings, today it has collapsed it all, establishing a new order.

Biological chip implants, the practice of spatial shuttle technology, surreal nerve signal integrators, the mechanization of mortal bodies, many of the Federation’s formerly lost technologies and trends are flourishing once again, spawning a multitude of new industries.

To better transform the Federation, and in order for this blazing flame to burn incessantly, the ’Fire Lotus - Radiant Star’ faction has gathered nearly a million elites from various industries. They will serve as think tanks, providing plans and recommendations for the Federation’s expansion and development. Now, the entire Federation’s capital flow will be monitored and calculated by the Federal Center AI cluster, these super AIs tirelessly correcting the economic system, ensuring it burns forever, boiling and unceasing.

"What is the essence of humanity?!"

In the white celestial dome, a professor in a crisp academic suit questioned the thousands below, his gaze sharp, his voice like iron.

"Desire, ceaseless desire."

"From the first day humans were born into this world, they began to crave—for food, survival, comfort, pleasure, excitement."

"It will never be satisfied, what it likes will be sought again and again until newer things attract it, it desires more, better, bigger."

"From cheap water and bread, to exquisite wine and steak, to transcendent delicacies and wonders, human hearts will not be satisfied, they need to constantly fill the giant maw of desire with things."

His gaze swept over the listening faces below, then opened his hands, speaking with a tone both hymn-like and sacred.

"This is a very beautiful phenomenon."

"In past religions, desire was often seen as beasts, demons, evil, sins, but today, I shall sweep away this misstep!"

"Desire is life, and it is the fiercest, most powerful life."

"The reason humanity has come this far is reliance on this insatiable desire."

"Having obtained, still wanting more."

"Having owned, still wanting better."

"Praise this quality, because of its existence, our running speed is faster and faster, catching more and more prey, finding more and more fruit."

"From primitive pit dwellings to comfortable wooden houses, then to sturdy skyscrapers, what drives us tirelessly forward, what strengthens the economy in endless cycles, is desire! It is that forever yearning life!" He clasped his hands upon his chest, emitting fervent praise.

"Why does the economy fall into recession? Why do all people begin to become poor?"

"Because your desires have been stripped and domesticated!"

"What people can own, far exceeds what is before their eyes."

"You need not limit your location to a house, but dream of owning a street of courtyards, housing your beloved cubs and many animals you love, yet that is not the end, for you can even claim vast lands, mountains and rivers, coasts and islands, as your own roaming paradise."

"Never be satisfied, life’s experience lies in chasing those more beautiful and exciting things."

"You say you are merely one person, unable to experience so much beauty, that was the imprisonment of past humans as products of the old era."

"Now the Federation has begun testing the latest biological chip and artificial neuron technology, these will extend the limits of you as a person."

"You can converse and interact with 6 people at the same time, while watching 4 video works, playing 10 games, along with studying, work, and life."

"You can produce more value, while also being able to consume more, gaining more extensive life experiences!"

"Do not fear this future, nor fear the unknown, you should feel honored, for just as humanity once stepped out of Earth, we will also for the first time break through the limits of flesh and glimpse a broader world."

"Just like climbing out of a long, dark well and seeing a vast sky." He closed his eyes to imagine, that voice seemed to possess a kind of magic power, making the people below dream.

When Prin ignited a flame-like radical change, some predicted that this grand carnival would finally end as quickly and brilliantly as fireworks.

The train continuously devouring old things forward, like a snake swallowing everything, once everything is consumed, it will face the day of starvation.

Now relying on the ’Radiant Stars’ and ’Jade Dragon’ systems’ technologies, the Federation has created a powerful demand drive, making the economy burn like raging fire. However, some pointed out that the economic increment brought by these two technical systems is not endless; once the current inhabited stars are transformed complete and space stations built complete, the supposed needs are met, what will follow is overproduction, and prices will keep falling, followed by the collapse of pillar industries, and the economy will enter the Great Depression.

Such economic laws are taught in many schools’ high school textbooks, faction leader Songstress Prin is also well aware.

"Indeed, nothing in the world is eternally unfading." She delivered a speech to all the members dressed in a fiery red gown adorned with gold floral decorations.

"But it does not mean we should just give up."

"Our only task is to run faster than death itself." Her gemstone-like eyes emitted determination and confidence.

Then the Songstress of the Volcano turned, and the large sleeves swept past as, behind her, huge projection screens revealed graphs analyzing the human body, visual diagrams of the Federation’s economic cycle, and the vast star map of the Milky Way.

"Why do you worry about shrinking demand?"

"No, hearts never content, in the past they simply couldn’t have it."

"Why do you worry about product overproduction?"

"No, just individuals limited by flesh, unable to simultaneously experience more."

"Why do you worry the public would weary?"

"No, they simply haven’t had the chance to see new things."

"As long as one human remains alive, they will possess endless desires needing to be filled, simultaneously they are burning kindling, filling more people’s hearths."

"Constantly develop new needs, constantly improve bringing greater experiences, constantly expand bringing newer things."

"This is an infinite, boundless, and immense world, sufficient for us to burn until the utmost end."
