Chapter 2412 Reasoning
Time is equal to the distance divided by the speed. The distance is the distance between the petrification light and oneself. The speed can be obtained by the interval between the three teammates in front of the line being petrified. Then, you can know when you will be petrified. In the moment before being petrified, you must throw the resurrection liquid into the air.
It cannot be too fast or too slow, and it must hit you right on the body. Only in this way can you win.
In order not to waste the sacrifice of his partners, Ishigami Senku used his best mental arithmetic ability and counted: "One thousand one hundred and eleven, one thousand one hundred and twelve..."
You can't count directly one two three four, because one two three four has only one syllable, and one second is enough to read several syllables, so everyone can read some multi-syllable large numbers according to their own habits, so that one second is exactly one second. For a person who has been counting for 3,700 years, the reading and calculation between lightning and fire are very short, and then the pottery jar of resurrection liquid is thrown out.
At the same time, the petrification light passed Ishigami and fixed him.
The light covering the entire island turned everything into dead objects, but there was a jar in the sky that was in free fall.
Bang, the jar hit the statue of the stone god, the liquid splashed, and the stone god was resurrected again in an instant. It was really exciting, but he lived up to everyone's expectations. Now the stone god has become the only living person on the island.
Later, when searching for the treasure island, it was discovered that the chief of the treasure island had been petrified by the prime minister, because the statue of the chief had weathered, and the prime minister had always issued false orders through the shadow of the chief.
This time, a petrified weapon was seized, which was a huge harvest, but the stone god found that the weapon seemed to be out of power.
Next, we have to save the crew. Many crew members were smashed and thrown into the sea by the prime minister. They had to be fished out and glued before they could be poured with the resurrection liquid.
So we have to revive a good water person first, and then Xiaochuan Gang, because her manual skills are best for repairing stone statues.
This is not a one-day or two-day job, but fortunately there are enough supplies.
When I entered the seabed, I found that there were many stone statues on the seabed. I knew that the island would petrify the islanders on a large scale every once in a while. It has been maintained for hundreds of years, and there are at least tens of thousands of people below.
It's incredible that the island actually controls the population and maintains the survival of life through this method.
Shishi Wang Si couldn't help but say: "Sometimes I think that life is really the most despicable existence in the world. In order to survive, people cheat, hurt, and kill their own kind without mercy."
Chrom said: "But on the other hand, if they do whatever it takes to survive, doesn't it mean that life is precious to everyone? So when some people give up their lives for a certain cause, it will appear so great and noble. And our goal is to create a world where life can survive without cheating and murder."
But Shishi Wang Si found it difficult, after all, he has experienced too much.
"Life should not be moralized, and survival should not be divided into good and evil." Ogawa Gang interrupted and said: "We should be wary of those who confuse the concept of survival. Some people commit crimes because they are desperate, while some people commit crimes just to get rich overnight."
If Shishi Wang Si did not have the ability to fight, he would probably go on the road of crime for his sister's illness. He might also cheat and hurt, but he did it for his sister's survival, not for the enjoyment of getting rich overnight.
"Don't moralize life?" Lion King Si was silent, because he made a mistake that many people would make, that is, he instinctively added his own moral concepts to some objective neutral concepts, and wishfully believed that these things should also conform to his own moral concepts. But in fact, for life, morality is not the first priority, but survival is.
There are also technology. Some people always think that technology has good and evil, and that technology can also be evil. There is also nature, and people think that there are pests and beneficial insects in nature.
But in fact, these things are not good or bad, they are all classified by humans, and people like to add morality to these neutral things.
Everyone did not continue to discuss this issue, but carefully moved the stone statues salvaged from the sea.
At this time, the American Empire, the Geno forces, they are building a submarine. They are worried about the shadow of the universe, and the submarine can help them hide. Since there is nothing they can do to the enemy, they can only hide and wait and see.
"The shadow seems to be getting bigger again, and the starlight at the edge is also blocked. There are only two possibilities: either the shadow is approaching or the shadow is expanding." Geno was worried. The scientist's reason told him that they were facing an unprecedented enemy.
"It's not just the starlight. Some time ago, there were obviously some light sources in and out of the shadow. These movements show that they are eager to try. Maybe petrifying the earth is just the first step, and the second step is interstellar migration. Three thousand seven hundred years is nothing for space travel. It is normal to travel from here to the nearest Proxima star system for two thousand years. Three thousand seven hundred years does seem to be a time span for space colonization."
Geno connected everything and believed that petrification was to clean up the earth, and the shadow was an alien colonization spacecraft. If this explanation was given, everything made sense.
"We can't fight them head-on, so we have to hide. If it is really colonization, we have to fight guerrilla warfare with them." Geno looked at the submarine in front of him, thinking that it might be the last mobile fortress of mankind. They must fight wits and courage with unknown enemies on the seabed, obtain supplies on islands in the ocean, and find a way to build military factories in places where the enemy cannot find them.
"Jeno, we will definitely win." Thinking of the bleak future prospects, everyone felt heavy-hearted. If aliens really colonized, then the earth would become someone else's homeland.
Why did Jeno and his friends think so, that aliens colonized? Because their ancestors did so.
Illegal colonization brings death and despair, but it was their ancestors who colonized hundreds of years ago, and now they are colonized. Every nation and every civilization will look for answers from their own history after encountering incomprehensible things. When Jeno and his friends are afraid of something, usually their ancestors have done it, and they know the result very well.
However, in fact, this is not colonization, but on the contrary, not only does it not colonize, but it takes people away from the earth.
But even as an elite scientist in the United States, even if they have learned a lot of scientific knowledge, Jeno still cannot escape their own original sin, and cannot forget the way of dealing with problems passed down by their ancestors.
The reason why Jeno is afraid is that they know very well the consequences of being colonized.
It is quite reasonable to link petrification and shadows together to be interpreted as different stages of alien colonization, but the final right of interpretation is still in Duran's hands.
At this time, Duran looked down at the earth and saw that both Ishigami and Geno had the ability to go out to sea. He felt that it was time to let them know the future fate of the earth.
The earth will become part of the Infinite City, and only by making the right choice can humans gain the authority of the Infinite City. If humans make the wrong choice, then the Infinite City will not be their paradise, but their cage.
