Chapter 1014 Hiking Is Good for Body and Mind
"Hi, Takuno, it's me, Kane, I'm about to arrive. Appearing rashly may surprise people, so please say hello for me."
Kane greeted Tuo Ye telepathically.
Tuoye was overjoyed immediately, and said loudly: "Master, that outsider is coming soon!"
Then seeing people staring at him with serious faces, I realized that I was a little carried away. After apologizing to people, I tried my best to calm down and said: "Master, the outsider has notified me by telepathy. Will arrive, let me tell everyone on his behalf, so as not to be shocked."
Kane noticed in the dark that the man Tuo Ye called a master was a strong man with half white beard and hair, aged between 40-60, not easy to identify, calm and majestic, with a scar on his left cheek not only Without compromising its charm, it adds a bit of heroism.
The master nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone, I hope everyone is polite. If you don't know how to respond, keep silent and don't make too many body movements. Don't act self-righteously. The strength gap between us and the other party is too great, as the weaker side, we can only hope that the other party will be kinder for the sake of being human."
An older person asked: "If you are too weak, is it easy for the other party to take advantage of it?"
The master said: "The other party is strong and has expressed goodwill. We respond with respect instead of showing our fangs. In order to survive, bowing to the strong is not ashamed."
Kane nodded secretly. I realized that this master craftsman not only mastered the technology, but also had a wise mind and a high emotional intelligence. He should be the leader of the village.
With these suggestions from the master, Kane felt that he could appear on the stage.
In order to avoid abruptness, he spent some careful thought to create a light gate that gradually grew.
There was light at first, then elongated and widened, like a glowing crack, the crack opened further, and a door with light flowing appeared.
The light wave was rippling, and Kane walked out of it, came in front of everyone, spread his hands, and greeted in the local language: "Hi everyone, my name is Kane, and I come from a world outside this huge city."
Despite a certain foreshadowing, the natives still showed a very obvious social panic disorder, especially when they felt that the strength of the two sides was too great, they were all silent and even embarrassed.
And Shi Jiang deserved to be regarded as the best performer, he saluted Kane respectfully. "My name is Lu Tong, and I am the leader of this village. On behalf of all the villagers of Tiepi Village, I welcome you. In addition, thank you for helping the young warriors in the village. Please don't mind our shabby hospitality. "
Kane was not too polite, but just replied: "Then I will trouble you."
After that, Lu Tong, the master craftsman, was the guide and drank some tea in the big house, during which Lu Tong gave a general introduction of the village.
In fact, there is no need for Lutong to explain, the details can reveal a lot of things. The ancestors of these people are not Han people, but He people, but they have been heavily influenced by Chinese culture. Although they still speak Japanese, many customs have changed, but the changes have not been thorough.
For example, the naming has the simple and concise characteristics of the Han people in ancient times. For example, Lutong hopes to have smooth roads wherever he goes; Tuoye hopes to have a wide and far-reaching view, and so on.
As for the surname, under the background of continuous internal integration and basically no foreign population joining,
The surname has disappeared with the disappearance of 'hu'. The way of life of the people here, like a commune, or a big family, closely united, has become a basic need for survival.
According to Lutong, there were more than 400 people in this village when it was in its heyday, but now there are less than 150 people. The main causes of population loss are disease and food scarcity.
Recently, there has been a famine, because the nearby pipes that can collect "thick juice" have dried up, and they have to go to farther areas to collect them, which increases the probability of being discovered by the monitoring tower and hunted down by the deportees.
Lu Tong was not worried about what Kane was planning for this village. He said: "The last homeless person appeared when I was a child. Those who can survive alone in this super city are all powerful fighters. I remember My grandfather recruited him at the time, but he just rested in the village for a while before leaving. He is a human with prosthetic limbs, and he shoulders the mission of finding a human with the qualifications to manage the city..."
Lu Tong babbled a lot, roughly meaning that in a village like theirs, the position of leader is a hard job, and it is very difficult to do, and eating and drinking are always on and off. Such a settlement, for For a person who can survive alone in a super city, there is really nothing to plot.
In addition, the last homeless person appeared nearly forty years ago, and it was also a large-scale prosthetic transformation. This implicitly means that human beings capable of becoming wanderers are extremely rare, and the slow death in isolation is the most serious problem facing settlements like them.
Not to mention anything else, just the reproductive barrier is very sad, there are only a hundred or so people in total, it can be said that everyone is closely related, and the dangers of inbreeding marriage need not be repeated.
If you have to say that there is still a good side, then the isolation makes the people here simple and honest, and the moral line is roughly one. In fact, it is only relatively speaking, there are still some characteristics such as the darkness of human nature and numbness, such as the treatment of deformed children, and the emphasis on armored weapons over human life and so on.
As Kane predicted, the reason why the supreme leader is called a master is because the master represents the most knowledgeable and best craftsman.
The special background has created a special deformed technical system. In Lutong's generation, the other parts of the armor are okay, but the helmet part can't be done anyway. Because the auxiliary system and related software with microcomputer as the core require high professional knowledge of personnel.
In fact, there are many basic and key subjects such as materials science, and the people here have not been able to pass them down. The so-called master craftsman is only playing the role of a senior mechanic.
According to Kane's understanding and analysis, the relevant equipment they inherited and used was the portable pioneering product used by people in the super city.
For example, on a planet, a small exploration convoy departs from the mother ship to explore and find a suitable place to establish a base. The various equipment carried on the vehicle will function to establish a semi-permanent base.
This model was also later replaced by a fully automated builder system. People only need to give some instructions remotely, and the specific details will be completed by the highly automated mechanical team led by AI.
Kane estimated that it was humans who fought against the Bureau and were deprived of the qualification to use fully automated equipment, so they had to churn out this obsolete semi-automatic technology to survive.
And this kind of semi-automatic system, up to now, only the fur is left. Some equipment can only be repaired but cannot be manufactured. After all, there will be a day when it will be scrapped. No substitutes for its production can be found, and a category of creations basically disappears.
Kane calculated in secret. Without his intervention, the village would have to perish for at most a hundred years. The premise is that the food crisis has been resolved, and people will no longer die as frequently as in the past year.
It has to be said that even with Kane's strong will, there is no way to be optimistic in the face of this ubiquitous suffocating despair.
With one careless move, everything is lost, and he is going to perish at the end of the road. The human beings here have performed such a story well. It's embarrassing.
With Kane's ability, it is natural to build this place into a self-sufficient paradise. But in his opinion, that is equivalent to throwing a mouse into the rice bowl, that is, eating it and waiting to die in this life, which is meaningless.
Of course, the existence of life itself has no meaning. It is someone who forcibly gave some words to make it seem tall.
But Kane still feels that the civilization established by countless intelligent life still has a certain meaning. It is a kind of model and a display of the evolution of all things in the universe. It is not inferior to the magnificent scenes in the universe such as star explosions, planet formation, etc.
So even if it's charity, Kane prefers to integrate the human beings here and give them 'fishing' instead of superficial mercy, building an exquisite ecological nest for these hundreds of people.
Of course, the promised gift still has to be given.
Not all of them, but only one-twentieth of a batch produced by the automatic factory. Even so, it is enough for the people here to eat for a year or two. After all, it is super-compressed and expanded into a state of bread. Every adult You only need to eat a piece the size of the palm of your hand for each meal, which is enough to supplement the required nutrients and give you a feeling of fullness.
The people in the village are naturally very happy when they receive the gift of food, and even the most grand festivals are not so happy. But maybe because I have lived in a hopeless atmosphere for too long, the expression of emotions such as coming to be happy seems faint, completely devoid of the enthusiasm and heartlessness of the aborigines in general meaning. It's the kind of sweet little joy, but facing Kane, most people still seem very reserved.
Kane doesn't care about that, the main purpose of his coming here is to listen to the story, the most educated master in the whole village, if he can communicate normally, it's OK.
However, it turns out that he had obviously taken it for granted that he had hoped to obtain clues through legends.
Legends are unreliable, especially word of mouth, and those legends that have not been sorted out and translated into scripts often rely entirely on eloquence to tell the future clearly and interestingly.
And even if you can tell a story, it doesn't mean you can keep the really valuable focus.
Kane summed it up and found that in general, all the legends are basically left with two most prominent parts in the end, one is sensational, and the other is for bragging. The rest are for these two.
It can be said that people listen to stories, love to hear this, and have the deepest memory of this kind, so this part is the most popular.
And the more professional the content, the harder it is to remember, and the harder it is to pass it down accurately.
So expecting to find clues from the legends passed down by word of mouth is simply asking blindly.
Kane reviewed his previous thinking, and felt that he might have been poisoned by the film and television drama, and only the summary of the film and television drama can make coincidences the norm. In reality, it is rare to rely on legends to strike key points.
Well, with such a lesson, Kane basically stopped thinking about getting clues to solve the problem from the aborigines. Instead of looking for this kind of shortcut between existence and non-existence, it is better to be an honest blaster bee, and first achieve the goal of "fully brightening the map" of the super city.
This project is indeed a bit big, but under the effect of the geometric multiplication of the honeycomb, it is not an impossible task.
As soon as he thought of it, Kane gave an order to the previously arranged hives, from mass production of soldier bees to full self-separation and expansion of the production line.
The soldier bees that have been produced so far will continue to focus on path exploration and focus on the battle between alien insects and the Control Bureau.
The direction of this battle also failed to escape Kane's expectations. The alien insects have now completed the first stage of landing on the beach, transforming an area of more than 10,000 cubic kilometers into a fortress-style nest area.
These alien insects also have the ability to eat iron, but the utilization rate of the most abundant silicon and metal substances in the super city is not high.
The specific manifestation is that their most resource-consuming combat units, and even facilities, are all organic, and the utilization of silicon and metals is limited to the two aspects of infrastructure and the production of carapaces rich in metal elements.
Therefore, with the high casualties and the increasingly expanding battle situation, the alien insects had to rely on collecting corpses to obtain food, and after melting, they raised new war insects and put them into the grand battlefield.
Obviously, the Bureau of Control has also noticed the behavior of picking up corpses of alien bugs. Based on the simple principle of "whatever the enemy wants to do, we will try our best to prevent them from achieving their goals", the Bureau of Control pretended to be a plasma flame launcher for the newly produced Destroyer , instead of losing the power grid.
In addition, the Control Bureau also changed the combat mode of the individual soldiers. Those Destroyers changed from the original beast form to the human form, with a plasma flamethrower in one hand and a plasma jet energy sword in the other hand. All of them are as agile as an assassin, and take a leap of faith at every turn.
I have to say that once the war scales up, it is really spectacular and gorgeous. On the huge bridge, or on the side wall whose height is calculated by kilometers, thousands of Ousters were created, and then they played a collective leap of faith, like a torrential rain, washing the war insects like a torrent below, and then the flames flew, and the lightsaber Flurry of dances, a grand and magnificent mess. And this is just a corner of the battlefield. There are at least a hundred similar situations happening in different regions at the same time, or they will happen soon.
Not only the ground, but the air is also a meat grinder. There is no dogfight between flying insects and aircraft. Because there are too many air combat units, basically no individual can survive 10 seconds.
The so-called trump card is meaningless in this kind of battle, because almost every individual is targeted by dozens of enemies at the same time. No matter how coquettish the position is, there will always be an attack that just makes the opponent feel comfortable.
This behavior of repeatedly turning oneself into fat and sending it to others' mouths guaranteed that no matter how high the luck value was, it would be consumed quickly and then killed.
The fate of all individual flying units is the same, thinking that there are too many parties participating in the war.
In such a battle, even if there are tens of thousands of hero units on both sides, they are all reduced to one of the cannon fodder. Even if it is a collective performance, there is no way to let the whole battle be used as the background board to set off their awesomeness. It is as ordinary and fleeting as a wave in the sea.
This is also the main reason why Kane did not intervene rashly before. Although he can kill all directions, but in terms of long-term, it really won't work. No matter it is compared with the alien insects or the control bureau, it is all false. No matter how sharp the knife is, it must be rolled.
It is interesting to estimate according to the latest situation. Kane made two points:
First, his development speed cannot keep up with the expansion speed of the war. In other words, when he really intervenes, he can't hold the situation, and he can't be the fisherman who benefits from the fight between the snipe and the clam.
Second, when this war develops to a late stage, the Bureau of Control will win.
Because although the swarm is still dominant in the situation, and even has the meaning of suppressing the control bureau, the stamina of the control bureau is too strong. On the contrary, the alien worms are already fully fired, reaching the peak .
Next, as the corpses of the bugs who died in the battle were continuously destroyed by the Central Control Bureau, their supply of soldiers would gradually shrink.
Then the initiative will be lost, and when it is suppressed by the Control Bureau in turn, that is the beginning of the avalanche.
Therefore, he is a non-existent third party in this war. He does not need to intervene, and his intervention is powerless to change anything. This inevitably made him feel a little lost.
A big man who needs to be lobbied by Ms. Death in person can only be reduced to a sneaky person when he visits such a not-so-big planet-level world.
Then think about the superheroes in the Marvel universe who frequently appear in the single-cosmic and multi-cosmic-level, and suddenly feel that the gap is so big and tiring.
Therefore, it is the worst thing to be complacent and be satisfied with the status quo. This time I came out to have a look, let C Kane realize his own shortcomings, and the motivation to move forward was regained at once.
He gave an order to the yellow bug swarm that had been in a semi-dormant state on Titan, asking it to grow stronger and play the role of the "planet devourer" among the five creation gods. Transform the stellar energy in the universe into a reserve that can be used efficiently and with higher controllability, that is, the universe version of extensive food accumulation.
In addition, green worms and red worms can also move.
After all, he had roughly understood the current situation through the communication with Ms. Death.
As long as he is in the 20K universe, basically no one will take the initiative to come here to fight with him, so why is there any need for his swarm? Of course, it is a big development, completely operating the 20K universe into his pan-divine kingdom, and then talk about other things.
The situation has changed, and the way of thinking has to change accordingly, and acting as a third party here who can't get in, and it doesn't make much sense to get in, becomes the incentive to change the way of thinking.
Come to think of it, this is actually quite good. If you really want to wait for death in the 20K universe, after a few hundred years, you may lose your good habit of working hard under the banner of "the enemy will appear at any time, and I will remain unchanged and adapt to all changes" .
Thinking about it this way, Kane's mentality became balanced again. Just to wake up to this, even if he doesn't succeed in this operation, it doesn't feel like a loss.
