When "Ralph" saw the old man in front of him, the original confusion and doubt on his face disappeared instantly. He immediately nodded to the old man and said respectfully:
"Lord...Mr. Bishop, I'm sorry! I failed to live up to your expectations. The mission on the "Eden"..."
The old man who made Ralph extremely respectful didn't say anything immediately. He just looked at Ralph with eyes as sharp as an eagle. After a few minutes of silence, Ralph, who had been stared at, began to tremble all over his body. , as if the old man could kill him with his eyes.
Seeing Ralph's reaction, the old man lowered his eyes and asked him:
"You have accepted the "advanced" gift from the church, but you have obviously failed to live up to the hope of the church. Ralph, everything you have now is what I have won for you. If there is not something more important, you Your life is not worth resurrecting you with a blood-stamped body!"
The old man's indifferent tone made Ralph's inner fear and guilt deeper and deeper. Regardless of his naked body, he immediately stepped out of the breeding cabin and knelt on the ground, confessing to the old man in front of him:
"I'm sorry! I really have let down your cultivation, Lord Leader, but this time I discovered some bizarre secrets from the traitor who escaped before. Before the end of my previous life, it was the traitor who tried to destroy the "witness" that killed me. To be killed.”
The old man didn't say anything else at this time. He closed his eyes as if thinking about something. As Ralph said, when he had a spiritual connection with the artificial blood mark on the "Eden" before, he felt a strong attraction to the artificial blood mark. The rampage occurred and he was instantly out of his mental control. The remnant soul of his consciousness was immediately swallowed up by the violent artificial blood seal, which had a considerable impact on Hal Peter, the first-order bishop.
After all, every ray of conscious soul is a gift from the power of the Holy Seal. This is also the basis for the Unity Church to control the blood seal and conduct bloody experiments all over the federation. And the traitor Ralph mentioned is obviously responsible for causing artificial blood. The source of attraction for Yin's violence has a lot to do with it. Even the church traitor named Du Jin is this so-called source.
"Tell me everything you know! I will judge whether you are qualified to stay in your position based on the value of the information you say."
"Yes! Sir........."
Ralph told Hal everything he saw, including the hazy scene he saw at the last moment. After listening to this, the first-level bishop turned around and left hastily, leaving him unaware. Ralph, who is in a future situation, is alone in a daze.
.....................
On Du Jin's side, the offensive and speed of the corpse mutants did not decrease at all. There were many corpse mutants that Du Jin had never seen before, but he did not dare to observe these special mutants carefully. Fortunately, after Du Jin ran for a few minutes with Max on his back, he saw the familiar armor outline of Li Mengyan. Since his communication unit was no longer working, Du Jin could only raise his left hand and wave at her.
Li Mengyan also noticed Du Jin's movements, and immediately stopped Manuka's team that was still killing the fleeing cultists. When Du Jin approached Li Mengyan and his group, Macas on his shoulder immediately turned to him. Looking at Manuka, he said:
"Luka, get out of here quickly. I have a way to escape. Leave the medical deck first."
"captain!"
"Father!"
Manuka and his team immediately screamed with joy when they heard that McCas was still alive, but they immediately implemented McCas's instructions. After taking McCas from Du Jin's shoulders, the team ignored them. The defeated cultists immediately followed the marked road and prepared to leave the security center. When they noticed the corpses behind Du Jin, they realized how wise their decision was.
Manuka's team did not have any communication along the way, they just focused on leaving here, and Du Jin also remained silent along the way. He had actually guessed something about the source of the blood mark, which could be infected and controlled through some kind of radiation. The "weapons" of other creatures are definitely not naturally produced in the universe, but should be created by a species with a very high level of civilization, and the reason for creation is for prevention and intervention.
In Du Jin's world, there is such a theory for understanding space civilization: the dark forest theory.
The basis of this concept is that before the beginning of human social history, all the social systems, political concepts and even moral ideals that we are accustomed to did not exist. Man is a lonely jungle beast, his reason is the tool he uses to realize his desires, and his most profound desire, or fear, is to survive and not be destroyed by others.
Suspicion reinforces this hostility between people, so they will work to deprive others until all threats cease to exist. Therefore, a powerful individual can obtain the greatest degree of security through indiscriminate attacks, but he will always live under the threat of others, and he will be in panic all day long until he is killed by a stronger person. Yes, it's the state of the dark forest.
The prerequisites for its establishment are as follows (the ones in parentheses must also be established)
1 Survival is the first need of civilization (axiom)
2 Civilization continues to develop and expand (here it is equivalent to requiring infinite survival resources)
3The total amount of matter in the universe remains unchanged (this is equivalent to limited survival resources)
4The existence of civilizations in the universe is quite common
5. Technological explosion (equivalent to technological advantages but not sufficient security guarantee)
The analysis method of the chain of suspicion is actually not the key. In principle, if you use this analysis method, as long as you cannot read minds 100% correctly, everything will be a threat to you. The key is to judge from other motives. What breaks the chain of suspicion on earth is morality and law, as well as the social division of labor and cooperation-based operating model.
The premise for the establishment of Hessian theory is the survival crisis caused by the above five items and the darkness of the overall environment. Just like if a person lives in an environment with great conflicts of interest and fierce struggles, the chain of suspicion will be impossible to break, and the law of the jungle will be regarded as the norm.
The reason why the dark forest theory is established is that the density of civilizations in the universe is too high and the competition pressure is too great. Even if this is extended to the cosmology of the multiverse, it can still be proved that all god-level civilizations are very afraid of seed civilizations that may develop, and they must spare no effort to eliminate these threats.
Because the unchanging law in the universe is that once two civilizations collide with each other, the more advanced one will definitely destroy the other. What makes this series even more imaginative is that many people still believe that even today’s Humans are not the original inhabitants of Blue Star, but invaded Blue Star tens of thousands of years ago. After defeating the original "Tu civilization", they became the next generation's masters.
Of course, some people, including Du Jin himself, have raised some questions about the laws of the dark forest. For example, why does the cosmic society have to be like nature and the law of the jungle? There is also the fact that Blue Star has been exploring extraterrestrial civilizations and transmitting a lot of radio information into the universe. Logically speaking, our position has been exposed. Why haven't other space civilizations come to destroy us?
In fact, even if aliens receive our message, how do you ensure that they can understand it? Can ants understand you when you talk to them? So there are five auxiliary inferences. First, civilizations in the universe only have the lowest degree of goodwill. Second, communication will definitely expose the position of civilization. Third, the cruelty of competition between civilizations is comparable to that of a dark battle. Third, Fourth, it is difficult to communicate between different intelligent species. Fifth, any civilization has a long lifespan.
What Du Jin can confirm is that the civilization that created the blood seal is definitely a cruel and cold-blooded powerful civilization. The weapon of the blood seal is simply a bug-like existence for living things. According to what Li Mengyan said before, the infection of the blood seal has no The outbreak was completed almost within a short period of time. At that time, the entire crew of the "Eden" began to suffer from symptoms of high fever and skin ulcers. A large part of them also experienced hallucinations, which led them to start hurting people for no reason, but Before the isolation measures on the ship were fully deployed, the zombies began to appear explosively.
Everything happened very fast. Many people didn't know what happened before they died. Du Jin felt a little heavy along the way. The main goal he decided to survive in the blood seal world was to find and intervene in the blood seal's large-scale infection and the generation of corpses. However, along the way, apart from witnessing the horror of the blood mark, no prevention or solution was found. This feeling of helplessness coupled with the fear and uneasiness brought to Du Jin by the pursuit of the corpse, made Du Jin His will began to weaken.
Along the way, Du Jin and Li Mengyan encountered a lot of zombies. They seemed to be heading in a specific direction. Under the leadership of Manuka, everyone managed to avoid the fight without any danger. After all, Mai was now Cass has been rescued, and Manuka's goal has become to join the team staying in the buffer cabin on the medical deck, which means that they only need to move forward while ensuring their own safety, and they can fight unless necessary. avoid.
But when Manuka returned to the buffer cabin, he felt a little uneasy from a distance. He led the team to quickly pass the gap in the alloy gas valve that they had forcibly opened, only to find that the Guards station was It was bloody, with the corpses of soldiers and necromorphs mixed together, exuding the aura of death.
But this does not mean that the team of forty people died here. When Manuka appeared from the gap in the alloy valve, someone noticed them. After seeing the familiar armor of their team commander, nineteen people The soldiers emerged from the corridor behind the bunker in a dark corner. After establishing Manuka's identity, one of the soldiers immediately ran in front of him and gave a federal military salute and said:
"Sir!"
"What happened here?! Why..."
The soldier immediately reported back in a heavy tone:
"Sir, Mike (see Chapter 35 for details), after he was treated, he seemed to see many hallucinations, and then he turned into the kind of monster we saw along the way. Although we immediately removed the mutated him Solved, but other necromorphs sensed us, and they attacked us pervasively. We have been holding on here in accordance with your order, sir, but the casualties..."
At this point, the soldier stopped, and McCas, who had been put down, stepped forward, patted the soldier's armor, and said to him with a firm tone:
"You did a great job! These brothers sacrificed their lives for me! Thank you!"
"Captain, your arm!?"
At this time, Manuka and other Guards soldiers discovered McCas's empty right arm. Due to the urgency of the situation and the clothes on McCas's body, they did not notice the lack of McCas's body. , only then did they notice McCas's injury.
"Medic, trauma team! Quick!"
Manuka immediately called the remaining three medical personnel in the entire Guards. McCas waved his hand first, then pointed at Du Jin behind him and said:
"I'm fine! If it weren't for Dr. Du Jin, I would have been turned into the necromorph you see by the cultists of the Unity Church. One arm for one life is already very worth it, no. We don’t need to waste any more time here, we need to get out of here quickly.”
Du Jin could feel that the eyes on him were obviously much friendlier, but because of the damage to his helmet and the intermittent images, he did not have a good observation angle of the surrounding situation, and McCas did not say much, leading him As the remaining nearly thirty people walked in the other direction, with his authority as captain, he could call some hidden passages and freight elevators.
Li Mengyan only had the opportunity to check the condition of Du Jin's armor at this time, but even judging from the deformation of the helmet on Du Jin's head, Li Mengyan already knew the condition of the armor.
"Both the structure and system failed. Du Jin must have experienced some very difficult battles. I am afraid that it was precisely because the structure of the helmet was damaged that his armor system was affected by the previous range-wide magnetic field. Fortunately, he was not affected by it. Something happened!"
Li Mengyan looked at Du Jin who was in a daze, thinking that these high-intensity battles had made him a little "depressed" without much combat experience. She grabbed Du Jin's hands and put away her head, revealing her soft face. He looked at Du Jin and comforted him in a gentle tone:
"Du Jin, I know that what you have encountered is not easy to accept, but don't be too confused about yourself. Among the people I know, you can survive the attacks of so many Heyi cultists. , rescued Captain McCas. Such ability and perseverance are extremely rare. Once we reach the scientific research deck and find a way to leave here, we will leave this ship. Believe me! Du Jin, you have the blood mark of resistance on your body. With our ability, we will save more people by then!"
It has to be said that Li Mengyan's comfort was indeed effective. Du Jin's melancholy nerves stabilized. As Li Mengyan said, he could no longer save the dead. He could only keep looking for ways to save the two. There are more people in this world. Li Mengyan's reminder made him realize that the black blood mark in his mind and the ability given by it are definitely a solid foundation to fight against those red blood marks. He must continue to use this ability, Only then can we truly find a way to fight.
What makes Du Jin even more happy is that McCas also has to go through the scientific research deck. He believes that since the former owner of his body has discovered some secrets, there must be some key information or items in his research room, even if it doesn't work. , Du Jin can also help him quickly improve his scientific research status by finding some advanced technology storage devices and bringing them to the living world. In Du Jin's view, the risks of the few blood seal fragments in the living world are too great, and they must be used as soon as possible He can rest assured that it will be processed and sealed.
There is no need to elaborate on the importance of the explosive technological explosion to Xia State. You need to know:
Science and technology are an important factor and force in promoting the development of modern productivity. The rapid development of modern science and technology has rapidly transformed into actual productivity, changing the workers, labor tools, labor objects and management levels in productivity. Science and technology are in the hands of workers, which greatly improves people's ability to understand nature, transform nature and protect nature, and improves productive labor capacity.
Science and technology are the first factor in the development of modern productivity and economic growth, and are increasingly becoming the decisive factor in the development of productivity and economic growth. The development of productivity and economic growth mainly rely on the power of science and technology. Judging from the economic development practices of developed countries, this is even more true.
The advanced nature of modern science and technology plays a leading role in the development of productive forces. The second technological revolution that occurred at the end of the 19th century was a turning point in the changes in the relationship between science, technology, and production. Prior to this, the relationship between production, science, and technology was mainly manifested in that the development of production promoted technological progress, which in turn promoted the development of science.
Therefore, Du Jin must use the advanced technologies of the Federation in the blood seal world that have entered the space age to make his Xia country the dominant force of Blue Star as soon as possible. Even if the blood seal fragments unfortunately begin to infect, Du Jin must fight for his own The world leaves a way out, rather than repeating the mistakes Du Jin saw in his previous fantasy.
There is not much difference in economic strength between Xia Kingdom and Beautiful Country. However, if we look at the dynamics of scientific and technological output, in 5 years we will start from different fields in science and technology and surpass Beautiful Country little by little. , and this trend can be said to be basically irreversible. Of course, the input-output cycle of basic science is longer, but if time is given for 10 more years, that is, 30 years later, around 2040, Xia Guo will comprehensively surpass Beauty in science and technology. country, becoming the first in the world.
But Du Jin now has no time to wait for more than ten years of progress. He wants to give Xia Guo a strong medicine. Otherwise, judging from Du Jin's common sense and knowledge, before he can overthrow the civilization of this world to the civilization of space, the beautiful world will be destroyed. Congress is the biggest obstacle. You must know that the standard of space civilization is: the symbol of civilization at this stage is that the world has been truly unified, that is, the civilization has achieved internal unity.
In this way, we can greatly reduce the consumption and time of various conflicts and disputes within civilization, so that we can have better energy and sufficient time to focus on the development of physical science. As well as the development of space beyond the home star and the exploration of the universe, only in this way can the entire civilization go further.
Because if a civilization only relies on its own home star, the height it can reach is limited, because after a long time, all the resources of the home star will one day be exhausted by the civilization on the home star. By that time, the entire When civilization self-destructs, the development of space beyond the home star and the exploration of the universe are the ultimate development direction of all civilizations in the universe, and are also the only way to enter a more advanced civilization.
The hidden dangers of a beautiful country that advocates dictatorship and force cannot always exist. Having made up his mind about the next direction, Du Jin looked at Li Mengyan who was still explaining her emotions in front of him, and had to admit that the persuasion of a beautiful woman and the advice of an elderly and knowledgeable man... Regardless of the content, the former is obviously more efficient and effective, but Du Jin already has Si Qing in his heart. Even in another world, Du Jin still instinctively refuses to get too close to other girls. Have close contact.
He gently pulled his hand out of Li Mengyan's hand, and then said in a rejuvenated voice:
"Thank you! I do think too much, and Li Mengyan, you are right, there are more people in this world waiting for the "help" of my power. I really don't have time to feel here for too long, and... ....."
Du Jin paused and said slowly towards Li Mengyan:
"Ralph, I've made him pay with my own hands. I hope this makes you feel better."
Li Mengyan's body trembled, and her eyes flashed with tears. Even though she was not the one who killed him, Ralph's death was her confession to herself and to those who were tricked and killed by him. Li Mengyan then thanked Du Jin with an extremely bright smile:
"Thank you! Du Jin, Ralph has always been a pain in my heart. Now that he has paid his due retribution, I can rest assured to do other things. By the way, since Du Jin you have done everything for me After solving such an important matter, Du Jin, just call me Mengyan from now on, my friends all call me that, and I don’t want you to become a special case."
Du Jin nodded, considering his experiences along the way, Li Mengyan didn't know how many times he had saved his life. If it hadn't been for her, even if Du Jin had some power given by the black blood mark, with his personal weakness, he would not have been able to kill anyone. Without Ralph, it would be a joke to come to the medical deck alive. In this world, Li Mengyan was his only trustworthy friend, so he did not refuse, but nodded and said solemnly:
"Meng...Mengyan, thank you for everything you have done for me before."
"There's no need to be so nervous, okay, let's go!"
Li Mengyan smiled and waved her hands, and the two of them followed the team not far ahead again.
