396 Deep in Marsala

Is one's own face and interests important, or the safety of countless people?

Looking at this question in isolation, the answer is easy to come by.

Anyone with a bit of human conscience will sacrifice their own face and interests.

Even if it is said by some philistines, is the gratitude of countless people not to save face? Can't the contacts brought about by this be converted into benefits? There are many opportunities to make money, but few opportunities to save lives.

But when it comes to Kane, it's another matter.

His bizarre experience puts him in a position where he can blame himself and take over.

Whose pot?

Sometimes it is a natural disaster, and more is a man-made disaster.

Those rulers shouted and shouted one after another during the exploitation, asked the exploited to obey the rules, and played the French Open all day long, but when something happened, they lost contact.

If you have the ability to manage it, don’t you care? One tube will carry the blame, and it often becomes heavier and heavier.

Back, no one else does it, you are responsible for wiping your butt, can you balance it in your heart?

It would be even worse if the situation of "Sheng Mien, Dou Michou" was added.

So it's hard to be a good person.

After Kane contacted a few people who were able to help, but failed to negotiate in the end, he has decided to have a showdown with the public.

The blame has been formed, and if those who are capable do not bear it, then they will share it. To be more specific, it is to bear the risk of death. After all, the name of this blame is 'The New Zerg will kill it soon. '

From the transport ship to the shuttle, from the space station to the star port.

Different from the ultra-large shuttle of the protoss space-time channel, the human shuttle generally only refers to the equipment that enters the atmosphere.

Due to the use of cavitation-like energy field technology, there will be no bumps and vibrations, which is more safe and less exciting and interesting.

Greybeard has his own independent star port, as well as the largest dock base in Marsala today, where large transport ships are manufactured.

At present, there are as many as 15 ships that are under construction at the same time. What the AI ​​lieutenant said will take a week to basically solve the problem is referring to them.

It has been built for more than three weeks, and the equipment is being hoisted, which is commonly known as outfitting. This step is relatively trivial and complicated, and it needs to be debugged afterwards. Although it is already fully AI-managed and fully utilized efficiency, it is still relatively time-consuming and cannot be reduced.

For the spectacular sight of this dock base, Kane has seen too much and lost the pleasure of admiring it. As for Shelter Castle, I can't get enough of it. The miracle-level huge castle is obviously a product of modern technology and design concepts, but it always reminds him of those magnificent fortresses in ancient times.

Now it looks a little chaotic here, mainly because there are a lot of refugees. In addition to resettling them, we also need to organize the treatment of the wounded.

Kane just checked the holographic instrument with probability, and then drove directly to the mine without even getting out of the car.

The Shelter Castle mine seems to be independent, but it is actually a mine that stole the backwater mining base. The ore veins extend from the depths of the ground, and Kane established the mine by grasping this point. After all, there are only two high-grade Thai steel ores in Marsala, and the reserves in the other place are far less than that of the stagnant water mine. Compare.

But this time, it's not for the ore.

When Kane arrived, the relevant personnel were already waiting here.

Kane's power armor is naturally a specially customized version, which can be easily put on within 2 minutes, and then accompanied by the bear guards to go deep into the mine.

Let’s go for a while. There are no half-artificial and half-natural traces of traditional mines along the way. Instead, it looks like the interior of a permanent fortification, and there are even good decorations.

The powerful production capacity allows human beings in this era to enjoy safety and comfort more luxuriously, which is true in all aspects of work and life.

Even the large elevators used for goods are exceptionally clean. Using the evaluation standards of people in the original world, they are only a notch worse than the dust-free industry.

Just like the high-energy gas mine shipped out from the refinery erected above the spout of the natural gas spring, it is already a semi-finished product that has completed the first purification process. This mine is similar.

Ore grinding and material extraction form a complete trilogy with mining, which is in place at one time. The packaged materials are transported out of the mine, and after finishing, they become various numbered raw materials suitable for 3D printing equipment. The slag is directly combined with the imported materials to synthesize building materials, used for mine tunnel shaping and so on.

It is precisely because of this that a small number of front-line personnel responsible for operations and technology can enjoy office-level treatment even in the mine. There is no shortage of lounges and entertainment rooms. The work is easy, and there is no chance of getting dirty hands.

Of course, not all mining organizations are like this. Just like the original world, even in the first half of the 21st century, people in many places around the world do not have access to electricity.

Protoss has a lot of reasons to regard humans as inferior creatures. One of them is the gap between rich and poor. There are many poor people who are treated far worse than pets raised by rich people, and they are far worse.

As human beings, some are extravagant, while others are inferior to pigs and dogs. Such a race, even by their own universal moral evaluation standards, is not civilized at all.

Before Greybeard took charge of the Northland, many Marsala Northlanders lived in a backward state, and their evaluation was only at the level of florists in the 1990s. Of course, the technology in some fields is advanced, but the overall evaluation That's it.

It is precisely because of the benefits that Greybeard has brought to everyone that people are willing to follow the leadership of these mercenaries with pirate records. Many of them have even saved enough money for the boat ticket, but still live under the rule of Greybeard, rather than leave.

In an interview with Liberty, they said: "Fleeing from Marsala is just another place to continue to experience the hardship of survival. As long as it is under federal rule, this situation will not change substantially. We are not smart enough to see through Those who are involved in finance are playing tricks, but it is a feeling to be constantly sucked blood. Although the gray beards are strictly controlled, they do things fairly, and we are happy, and the life index has improved significantly, so we naturally follow. "

Therefore, it’s not that the ticket price of the Northern Democratic League is too deadly. Knowing that Marsala is not safe, they are unwilling to transfer the people as quickly as possible. The production capacity is not exhausted in the construction of transport ships. A fleet of space battleships, many people took the initiative to choose to attach instead of leaving, and turned to building weapons with surplus capacity.

Although Kane is not close to the people, that doesn't mean he doesn't know what happened in Fort Sanctuary.

On the contrary, he is very good at judging by the details.

For example, he found that many people began to spontaneously decorate their residences, including raising ornamental fish, planting ornamental potted flowers, and so on.

When people start to decorate their residences with these, it means that they have a sense of belonging and regard it as a home, rather than a hotel where they temporarily stay for a few days and leave.

In fact, this is true, especially after Graybeard showed his combat power in the backwater base. Many people think that Zerg isn't as scary as they imagined, maybe they don't need to leave their homes and just live like this?

There are also some who have a clearer view of the situation, and put forward the statement that 'Graybeard is already the best combat power of mankind, and most of them don't even have one of them'.

The reason for saying this is to explain the saying that 'if the gray beards can't complete the rescue, then it won't work if another army comes'.

And then come to the theory of "feed the gray beard, listen to his leadership, and enjoy the security and other services brought by him".

It is precisely because of this that Gray Beard is gradually changing from a mercenary who used to feed the whole family by himself to a regular army with a family. Marsala Northlanders hijacked this force with public opinion. They recognized Gray Beard riding on the head of the capital as their father, but they also hoped to be protected.

To put it mildly, it is called having nowhere to turn for help, but to seek shelter from well-meaning people.

To put it maliciously, he asked someone to temporarily pull someone in front of him to block the knife for him.

I have never seen people so obedient in the past, and the folk customs in the wilderness are tough, it's not just talking. After the disaster is over, I'm afraid I won't be so obedient, so I can only use it at this time, so I might as well flatter her.

Kane knows this. In his perception, poor people are not equal to good people. Many people seem to be kind, but because of the bad environment, they need to be human beings with their tails between their legs. Those with vested interests are even more ruthless, because their hostility is often heavier.

With such dark thoughts, it is natural that he does not care about being a savior, and he always reminds himself that he does not want the Virgin Mary.

This time, it was not possible to ask for foreign aid, and it was planned to negotiate with the public, which was actually triggered by this idea.

Subtext: As a temporary father, I can't treat you as my own sons. I know that the relationship between us is not that deep. Your sweet talk is just because you happen to be short of money right now.

Therefore, sometimes you have to see the wind and rain. After all, you also have certain responsibilities for the current situation. No one is a completely clean white lotus.

Can, don't do. This is where humanity comes into play.

It shows not only the ability to do evil without self-discipline, but also the ability to do good with a bottom line.

This bottom line may not be glorious, it may contain too much selfishness in it, but it still makes sense, Kane asks himself that he does not owe people, giving is friendship, not giving is reasonable. That's it.

It's just that it's not easy to get through the practice, to harden your heart, to be more precise, to pass your own level, and to admit that this solution is not easy. He really involved the lives and deaths of too many people.

"If you are really facing a catastrophe, arrange for the minors to leave first." Kane thought in his heart when he boarded the lava ship.

In Kane's mind, minors are those under the age of 14, and the three views have not yet been finalized. They should be given at least one chance instead of bearing the consequences of decisions with adults.

The Lava Ship was created after the Backwater Base event to confirm a few things.

But this time, some situations have been discovered, and he needs to personally identify them.

The ship travels through the lava, and the high temperature and high pressure not only strengthen the shell of the lava ship. This is a variable material, and the pressure and temperature can achieve a strong interaction effect at the molecular level, making it more dense and stronger. If the protoss experts analyze this You will be surprised to find that this technology is very similar to the high-quality and dense material technology used by Protoss.

In fact, it is of the same origin, but it was obtained by Kane in his previous life.

After sailing for more than 20 minutes, the ship finally arrived at a strange place.

It is like a giant irregular football, floating deep in the lava of the mantle.

It has a natural underwater port area, and the lava ship floats half of its body on the lava and docks like a floating submarine.

The air pressure gate opened, Kane and his party left the ship one by one, and entered the interior of this strange place.

Huge crystals are clustered here and there, and it is even suspected that it is this kind of crystal that built this strange thing. In the light of the lighting they appear pure gold, and if it were not for their vitreous clarity, one would suspect that they were made of pure gold.

This is Youjin, a huge Youjin mine that has never appeared in the history of human exploration.

And there is an ultra-high concentration of hydrogen hydride here, which has been semi-liquid, not just a purple gaseous state.

Due to the low gravity, these semi-liquid hydrogens are flying like goose feather snow, creating a foggy effect for the whole environment.

The golden material and the purple mist, just from the visual effect, this place is gorgeous and shocking.

At the same time, this place is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the energy intensification will cause a big explosion. Even Kane felt that it was extremely dangerous, and the degree of danger could be imagined.

It can be said that since rebirth, this is the most extreme danger he has encountered, bar none.

What made him even more vigilant was that this strange creation was artificially generated.

It is not a general manufacturing, but a seed is created first, and grows little by little through the passage of time. As for how long it takes to achieve such a scale, at least tens of millions of years, or even hundreds of millions of years.

Except for the gods, Kane couldn't think of anyone else who could play such a trick. Whether it is waiting for a long time or making arrangements across time, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

And if this is the case, it is not enough to let him come in person.

The key point is a portal, which is extremely thick and etched with strange textures, but the general outline of the portal can still be seen.

Due to its heavy weight and the excessive energy here, even he couldn't find out what's inside without opening the door.

To put it simply, this is an ancient seal. Although it is not delicate enough, it is not easy to crack.

More importantly, as a traveler from the original world, Kane knows the style of Xel'Naga's creations, the most representative one is Xel'Naga's world ship Urna, and its size alone is worthy of God In the name of a super creation, the Protoss Ark, the Spear of Adun, with a length of about 70 kilometers, is a small thing in front of it.

But the sealed door in front of him is not bad in technology, and it is obviously not in the same style as it.
