Chapter one hundred and sixty-six Hunting Garden
"’disaster’? No ignorant person would say that the sound called "disaster" is "not a disaster at all, but his pity and gift to lower creatures … Those people who could have lived for decades but were lucky enough to be a part of him and gain a high position in the eternal life universe … Can this be regarded as" disaster "?
"I understand … did you learn from the prophet’s stupid β-to-explosion rhetoric?"
"He did stay here for a while."
"Then why didn’t he be swallowed up by disaster … well, according to you, why didn’t he throw himself into the arms of that great god and become one with him?" Kelan asked
"He once considered this choice, but he finally decided to become an angel of God and guide more people to become …"
"To be the food of that great god" Kelan interrupted the other person again. "Well, don’t talk nonsense. Just tell me what happened in the nest. It’s as simple as that!"
"If you want to know everything, you need to look up …"
"Fuck you," Curran said in a very calm and elegant tone. "You can shut up now."
The other party seems to have really listened to Kelan’s request that Kelan finish this sentence and then he will no longer go out … Suddenly quiet to the environment, but also let Kelan feel a little uncomfortable.
Whether urban or urban managers are unwilling to disclose more information to themselves makes Kelan slightly disappointed … If one of these two "Nieto" has exceeded the critical point, there is no doubt that it is what the "Nieto" in the urban area has in the dome …
Real Koran is also very curious, but he will never look up until he has to.
This is a risky move, and it is a step. Urban managers are very eager to see themselves move out of the game … In the conversation just now, the other party’s purpose is really almost undisguised. No matter what Kelan asks, the other party has an answer-that is, let Kelan look up at the dome.
If the city manager is really sincere, the nest is always like a process of destruction, which can always be told to himself orally-even the last lucky person in the nest can describe those events in words through notes, which means that "disaster" is not a French word to describe the lucky person and the "Nieto" in the city, but what is the "Nieto" in this city?
Obviously, it highly advocates "disaster" … In that case, why not just tell the whole thing to yourself?
If this information contains "taboo knowledge", isn’t it just to deepen the degree of erosion … Isn’t that what the other party wants to see?
Considering from the conventional logic, this point is somewhat unreasonable.
"Is that guy still bothering you?" Kelan looked at 33 one eye and asked
Thirty-three shook his head. "No, she really shut up after you just told her to shut up."
"So obedient?" Kelan muttered, "Or is this guy up to something?"
"Kelan, there’s one thing I’ve never understood," said Thirty-three. "If she wants us to see the dome so much, why isn’t there a mirror around her? In this way, even if we don’t look up and leave the passage for a moment, we will unconsciously see the dome through the mirror reflection picture … It’s much simpler to do this, and there is no need for language to trick us into looking up? "
"I don’t know, maybe it can’t do it … I think its current situation may be even worse than we thought … There is a high probability that it has lost control of the urban area," Kelan analyzed.
"It’s best to save her a lot of traps for us …" Thirty-three said. "What should we do now? Go and find out this layer of managers? "
"Well, let’s find it out first." Kelan nodded. "Although there are some huge differences between the urban area and the urban area, the block division and the urban structure are mirror images of each other … according to the location of the square in the urban area, it should be … this location."
There is a simple urban structure map on the wall of the garbage disposal plant. From the map, it can be seen that there is actually an artificial forest with a large area in addition to the luxurious commercial area and residential area. An artificial rockery with an altitude of about 300 meters is located in the middle of the forest, and the forest just divides the east and west sides of the whole urban area to form a gray-green isolation zone.
According to the map, the eastern part belongs to dozens of small and medium-sized "families" and the whole western part belongs to a family’s sphere of influence. This family emblem is a kite shield composed of dozens of gears with different specifications, large and small, and the outer edge of the shield is wrapped with a circle of barbed thorns, which is full of retro art and the unique strength and mechanical sense of the industrial age.
The square opposite Nieto is located in the core area of this family sphere of influence.
"You said that these badges all represent families?" After listening to Kelan’s explanation, 331 stared at the map with a strange face and muttered, "This is quite like the Ark. In the eyes of ordinary people, the top floor is a group of expensive gates … but only when you climb to a high level can you know that these expensive heads still have real rulers."
The real ruler of the ark refers to the "undead crew meeting" and the nest capital naturally refers to the "Genting" people on the fourth floor of life.
"I wonder … this group of people have reached the point where they need to hide in underground shelters … what can maintain such a high standard of living? The consumption rate of necessary materials in this city can be extravagant and extravagant … without counting the daily consumption of the city, it is estimated that it can meet the basic needs of the city and the nest for a whole year … There are even more. "Thirty-three said as he tried to make an expression that could express his thoughts, but he tried several times and finally gave up.
He sighed, shook his head and frowned and said, "Is this nest really a refuge?"
As the name suggests, a refuge is a kind of fortification built to avoid disasters … Even if the high-end refuge department of the rich is as luxurious as a mansion, it still cannot change the quality of the refuge-the most important thing for a refuge is the preparation of materials.
If you don’t make a long-term plan, you can’t escape the fate of grave or abandonment … Although the nests are large in area, but the productivity is not strong, many things are self-sufficient … In this case, even your class must try to save as much as possible, instead of living a more prosperous life than the rich class in the old era, as Kelan and others saw.
Take the Ark as an example. Although the history of the aristocratic gates can be traced back to the interstellar drifting era, it is very old. However, the Ark did not land on Alpha Star, and the living conditions of these nobles were not good before the human society entered a new era of stability. Especially in the years when they just landed on Alpha Star, even the rich young ladies tightened their belts and put precious and limited resources into the places where they were most needed.
At that time, the biggest difference between the rich and the poor in the Ark was probably limited to personal safety and basic food and clothing-for example, if ordinary people can get one bag of synthetic food a day, nobles can probably get three bags and maybe one more bag of mustard tuber.
Many noble people over 50 years old often feel sad when they recall their life in those days-a canned lunch meat with starch and synthetic fat almost all over it is shared by the whole family and will be eaten for a week, which is unimaginable for young ladies and gentlemen born after the new era of 930.
"Maybe … they don’t lack resources." Kelan rubbed his thumb and middle finger lightly and thought, "Although the whole nest is sealed at the bottom of the sea now, they actively sank the nest to the bottom of the sea … They even send ground exploration teams regularly, although the survival rate of these exploration teams is outrageous … Alas, it would be nice to get a report document of the ground exploration team."
Kelan’s heart suddenly had a doubt-is the "frozen age" really "frozen" as literally meant? Or is it just a reference?
Like the word "disaster" that appears most frequently in the conversation with Nieto?
There are abundant materials on the spot, but for some reasons people have to shrink back …
Such a picture pops up in Koran’s mind. There are a large number of automatic production facilities on the surface of Alpha Star everywhere, and all kinds of living materials are continuously produced from the factory assembly line … But people who have made all this hide in the underground nest and can send a small group of people to bring the things produced by these automatic factories back to the nest every once in a while … And for some reasons, the members of this team have a very high loss rate … In a way, they are like the fuel made by vehicles transporting materials, which is a kind of … consumption.
But since they all adopt automatic production, why not simply set up an automatic transportation line to directly send the surface production materials to the nest capital? It’s better to replace the living with robots.
Although it is the cheapest scheme to select ground exploration teams from the bottom nest, it is also the scheme with the worst stability. No one can be sure whether this temporary team with uneven quality can be completed or not, and no one can guarantee that every team member will be loyal to his duties and do his best to complete his "consumption".
