Chapter 2832 Hand-Rubbing Technology

Humans need resources to survive. In desperate situations, the easiest way to obtain resources is to obtain them from the people around them. In the apocalypse, you start with a dog, and you have to pick up all the equipment because "picking up" is the easiest way to obtain resources. This is universal, just like wherever there are chickens in the world, the locals will eat eggs. It's not that everyone has psychic abilities, but eggs are easy to get.

So picking up equipment is simply a matter of course for Duran, because in his heart the sun has died, and the days of mankind will continue to regress in the future, and then go through the twenty-five histories again. Since it starts from the primitive, it must start with picking up equipment.

However, in the eyes of others, Duran's foresight is not doing his job properly, he is greedy for money, he does not respect the dead, and he is selfish.

"Don't move." Several guns surrounded Duran and Xiao Wang.

Duran looked up and saw that there were several civilians behind the soldiers, but he didn't see their car. He probably knew that their car must be broken, so he changed to transporting flint on foot. But even if they had protective clothing, it would not be so easy for them to walk, because flint also needs energy, and the battery of the protective clothing can't support flint for long.

"What are you doing?" the soldier asked with a frown, and he could feel his anger even through his helmet.

"We are collecting resources." Duran said confidently.

The soldier said angrily: "I think you should have been on the way to transport flint, but you ignored the rescue order and took advantage of the fire. You are arrested. If you resist, we will shoot." Although it is not the soldier's job to maintain public order, they must take care of this situation now, that is, to crack down on social scum like Duran.

"In the long run, I am not taking advantage of the fire, but just hoarding resources." Duran was very calm and did not fear when facing the muzzle of a gun.

This guy is a gangster at first glance. He is so calm in the face of the muzzle of a gun, and his psychological quality is very strong. The soldier did not talk nonsense with them: "Your car has been requisitioned, get in the car now, or I will shoot." They carried weapons to prevent such incidents from happening.

Although Duran believes that picking up equipment is the first priority for survival in the doomsday, the soldier obviously does not agree, after all, it is not the doomsday yet. And even if it is the doomsday, it is not necessarily a regression to the primitive age.

In fact, the productivity of primitive humans was low and they ate people, but primitive people were very observant of rules. Duran's current behavior is just the behavior of primitive people, without primitive morality.

In short, although Duran's mentality is very stable, he can only stop when facing weapons, because the muzzle of the gun is already on his helmet.

"Okay, we won't move anymore, you can handle it." Duran said.

"Get in the car."

It's still important to transport flint now, and we can't waste time. So everyone got in the car and continued to rush to the destination.

The soldiers were on guard at all times because they didn't trust Duran and Xiao Wang. The other two civilians also stayed away from Duran, obviously feeling scared of the simple behavior.

"So you are the driver's sister?" The car was a little crowded, because in addition to the driver's brother and sister, there were programmers and engineers, plus a number of soldiers. Duran and Xiao Wang were sandwiched in the middle by the soldiers, just facing the sister.

The sister didn't want to chat. She just lost her grandfather and was in a very bad mood now.

The brother was driving, and his face was also serious. He was very reluctant to accept this mission. He thought these soldiers were ruthless machines and didn't understand emotions at all.

"Shut up." The soldier said unhappily, not wanting Duran to intimidate the little sister.

"Just talking, the Earth may be sucked into Jupiter. If you don't say it now, you may not have a chance in the future. I like to talk." Duran said to himself: "You want to go to the planetary engine in front? I advise you not to go, because you have been delayed for a long time. I think in fifteen minutes, the planetary engine will be ignited by others."

"I said, shut up." Everyone in the car didn't wear a helmet, so they could directly feel the cold eyes. These soldiers were murderous because Duran was disturbing the morale of the army. He didn't want to use violence, but if Duran continued to force him, he would not be polite.

Duran was silent for fifteen minutes, and the planetary engine in front was indeed ignited, just as he predicted.

"Done?" The car stopped, and their mission had been completed by others. But it's not over yet, change the priority, and there is another goal.

"Don't relax, there are still engines that haven't been restarted, we have to keep moving forward." The soldier knew that unless all the planetary engines could be restored, it would not be over.

Duran said: "The next planetary engine is far away from the equator, and there is no point in rushing over. According to the speed of the earth approaching Jupiter, compared with the speed of the car, the earth will reach its limit before we reach the steering engine. What you are doing now is just useless. Am I right, programmer?"

Indeed, he had already calculated it through the computer. According to the current situation, even if all the engines are restarted, they can't escape from Jupiter. Saving the engine is a race against time. They are too far away from the next target and it takes too much time. By the time they arrive, the earth is almost hopeless.

While they are rescuing, the earth is also falling. These two processes are carried out simultaneously and the time is synchronized. However, calculations are calculations. Even if they are useless, they must continue to do it.

The programmer knew that it would take another eight hours for the Earth to reach its limit. They would reach the next target, and it would take at least seven to eight hours to reach it, minus the time for refueling and resting. It might not be enough. But he just said, "We still have to go." Perhaps with the repair of the engine, eight hours can be increased to ten hours, and then their efforts may become the key.

As a science and engineering man and a scientist, the programmer knew that everything was uncertain, but it was because of uncertainty that human science was valuable. If everything was certain, then science would be meaningless. The value of science is to constantly introduce variables and constantly make progress in uncertainty.

If everything is determined, there will be no hope. Hope is brewed in uncertainty.

"Shut up, or I'll take your life battery and throw you into the ice and snow." The soldiers were unwilling to waste bullets.

Xiao Wang also felt that Duran was too talkative at this time. Couldn't he be quieter? Did he have to irritate the other party to be happy? He still wanted to live.

At this time, Xiao Wang heard Duran saying, "Praise the sun, I am a cadre of the Return Army. If you kill me, you will miss a lot of information." He directly exposed himself, so that they dared not to take action.

Everyone was stunned, saying what was going on with this guy? However, if Duran was really a rebel, the soldiers really couldn't kill him, and had to take him back for interrogation.

Xiao Wang didn't expect Duran to reveal his identity so easily. He couldn't understand Duran at all.

"Programmer, have you ever thought about making a quantum computer by hand in the doomsday?" The first quantum computer in "Battle Angel Alita" was made in the doomsday, handmade. Originally, humans were almost finished, but once the quantum computer came out, it returned to the universe era in a hundred years, and even went further to colonize the universe.

So Duran wanted to explore the possibility of making a quantum computer by hand.

The programmer said this was a madman, how could it be possible to make a quantum computer with bare hands?

"Quiet, if you talk again, I'll punch you, as long as you are alive, but I didn't say you have to be intact." What the rebels are arrogant about, the soldiers' patience is also limited.

We continued to the next destination, but the atmosphere in the car was a little strange.
