Africa, November 6, morning, Tangier camp near the Strait of Gibraltar.
Yamazaki saw that Artoria didn't quite understand the current situation and food issues, so he explained it to her, and by the way, why they wanted to cause sabotage.
First of all, what needs to be affirmed is that the rule of European nobles is still relatively civilized. After all, they are people who grew up in modern times, and most of them are elites.
They maintain a supply of marine fish and multivitamins. If there is no rat plague, the food produced in Europe, plus the food from trade, should be enough.
However, the rat plague led to poor or even no harvests. It can be said that although the landlords have a surplus of food, it is a drop in the bucket and they can only satisfy their own needs.
The production of multivitamins is also often suspended due to rat plagues, and the output cannot meet people's needs. As a result, people are even more afraid to eat more sea fish, fearing nutritional imbalance and making their bodies unable to withstand viruses.
On the other hand, only the Yamazaki family trades food with the European noble mutants. Others either do not need to trade or are also hoarding food.
The main things traded were fuel and technology, but the food-producing camps were all short of fuel, so fuel prices were kept very low.
In terms of technology, they have only opened up a little. They are worried that if they open too much technology, the armed enhanced people will gain the strength to compete with mutants, which will directly affect their rule.
In order to overthrow their rule, Yamazaki did not send them free food. After all, he could not help the enemy.
This is the situation of the food problem in Europe. In short, it is the reason why the aristocratic mutants are in politics and are unwilling to trade more technologies.
This is actually a derivative of the current root problem in Europe, that is, most of the aristocratic mutants, with the help of the powerful force of the mutants, suppressed the enhanced people, and wrote laws that were obviously beneficial to their long-term rule, with the intention of restoring the declining aristocratic system.
As the enhanced people grow, those with a larger base are bound to make their voices heard, and there will inevitably be a collision between the two sides.
It can be said that under the conflict of interests, large-scale battles will inevitably occur between the two parties who are unwilling to give in, and a large number of innocent people will be involved.
People with aristocratic mutations should also see this, but they choose their own interests.
Letting ungrown enhanced people fight rats can be seen as a kind of killing with a borrowed knife, in order to kill the future strong among the enhanced people.
This strategy can be said to be successful. As for Artoria, with her current strength, occupying a camp is not a problem. If there is a group of Artoria, they can completely overthrow the order established by the noble mutants.
Yamasaki's purpose, from a broad perspective, is to prevent large-scale conflicts between mutants and enhanced humans in Europe and minimize the losses on both sides.
Selfishly, Europe's advanced technology is needed to deal with more problems that may arise in the future.
Arturia listened with her head straight. In fact, she seemed to understand, maybe, well, she didn't understand.
Regardless of whether she understands it or not, it’s almost time to digest food after a meal and it’s time to start practicing.
…
Ms. Diji helps Shan Dai and trains the little lynx Miaomiao, the big lion two lions and the big bear, as well as 40 female tyrants.
Train them how to fight with spiritual power and stimulate their spiritual power.
It is not required that they can use spiritual power alone, but I hope that they can mix spiritual power with attack and defense.
Yamazaki exercises his body by gathering dirt and dust into a ball and carrying it on his shoulders while running, exercising both his mental and physical strength.
Dinisha, Pricia, Inili, Sophia, and Loluia are all similar, but they use water.
Artoria looked left and right, and finally decided to follow her usual practice method, which was to put the sword in a posture and concentrate her mental power on the sword.
…
morning.
Arturia tried to invite Denisa to fight again, but Denisa didn't agree. She didn't like meaningless fights.
Sophia, who had always been calm, accepted the challenge. Due to the drugs, she was still in a state of excitement.
A battle between water and wind ended up lasting for half an hour, with no one doing anything.
Sophia used the flowing water as armor to protect her body, and Artoria's wind blade could not penetrate it.
Artoria used a whirlwind to protect her body, and Sophia's water blade was deflected.
The tricks were of no use at all, and in the end it became a battle of mental strength.
One of them was under the influence of drugs, and the other was getting more and more excited as he fought. His mental strength was constantly flowing, and the fight was endless, so he simply stopped.
But Arturia felt tired soon after the truce and fought, and fell asleep holding her sword.
It was the same for Sophia. The effect of the medicine wore off, and she felt very tired and went to sleep.
The two of them slept until evening, just in time for dinner.
…
During dinner.
Yamazaki told everyone that if physical training is like a boat going upstream, then mental training is like climbing a waterfall backwards.
There are shortcuts to the growth of mental power, but if you cannot use it for your own use, the increased mental power will soon disappear, just like falling from a waterfall to the bottom.
Any means of stimulating mental power can increase mental power. Fighting, exercise, medicine, eating, even drinking water, as long as you think it is exciting, you can forcibly increase mental power.
But as the mood drops and returns to normal, the mental strength will drop back, even lower than before.
Yamazaki is still exploring this situation of always maintaining an excited state of mind.
In fact, Yamazaki once experimented with Iona.
But it doesn't work. My mood always has ups and downs. This is for sure. Otherwise, I would be a non-human being without joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
At the same time, there is also a time for sleep. Even if you don't sleep for seven days and seven nights, you still have to rest after that, and it is impossible to maintain an excited state of mind during sleep.
In short, if you want to increase your mental power and use the increased mental power for your own use, there is only one way, and that is basic practice, such as piling sand into balls.
Use a hundred grains of sand at a time to gather sand into a ball, and use 10,000 grains of sand at a time to gather sand into a ball. This is real progress.
In addition, when mental power suddenly increases, the extra mental power may not be able to be controlled well. No one can say whether things that cannot be controlled are good or bad.
Therefore, it is good to stay excited when fighting, but don't forget to be normal.
"yes."
Arturia knew that the last part was meant for her.
…
While Yamazaki, Shandai and others were having dinner happily, the high-level aristocratic mutants in Europe were having an intensive meeting because Arima Kisho and Takatsuki Izumi were devouring them unscrupulously.
After much discussion, everyone still did not dare to take the risk, so they decided to release a nirvana--miniature insect robot.
This decision was opposed by some people, who were worried that it would inspire the Skynet system, but most people agreed. They believed that the Skynet system was just a legend.
Even if it is true, there is still a question mark as to whether the Skynet system can still be used.
What's more, people now are very strong, dozens of times stronger than the original people on Earth, and the Skynet system is aimed at the people on the original Earth. Even if the Skynet system is running, it won't have much power in comparison. .
…
What happened was beyond their expectations. The tiny insect robot had no effect on Arima Kisho and Takatsuki Izumi, and was blocked by the air armor controlled by the two's mental power.
"What is this, a bug?"
"It seems to be a robot bug."
In fact, the two people's air armor prevents each other from raiding. Although the two have been cooperating with each other, they are also wary of each other.
Both of them believed that if given the chance, the other would definitely devour them.
