Chapter 592 Shen Lingshuang died long ago (7k monthly votes requested)(1/3)
"More evil?" Qiu Tu chewed on these words, then raised his head and asked, "Why are they evil?"
Jackal did not answer the question directly, but looked up at Qiu Tu and asked, "My lord, do you know about "technological explosiveism"?"
Hearing Jackal's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Technological explosiveism, also known as "effective additive doctrine", is a loose organization composed of a group of crazy politicians and scientists.
They believe that if they want to save humanity, they must explore and discover new technological singularities, and then detonate the new technology at all costs to start the next reincarnation.
The reason why this is a "loose organization" is because this organization does not have strict superiors and subordinates and an organizational structure, but is more like a political line or political tendency.
The reason why Qiu Tu knew this was because the Lin family was a member of this loose organization back then.
It was also their radical research on the "Double Catastrophe Pathway" and "Butterfly Gu" that led to a series of subsequent events. (Chapter 577)
Now when he heard Jackal asking about this organization, Qiu Tu suddenly had a suspicion in his mind.
He nodded and replied in the affirmative, "I know this organization."
"However." At this point, Qiu Tu changed his tone and asked, "You mean, there are also members of this organization in the 3rd shelter?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jackal first shook his head, then nodded again.
He corrected with a sneer, "Lord, the 3rd Sanctuary does not have members of this organization. Rather, this organization originated from the 3rd Sanctuary."
He thought for a while and roughly guessed that Qiu Tu knew the origin of "technological explosiveism". So, he added another sentence,
"I remember that the head of the Lin family in the 7th shelter visited the 3rd shelter and was deeply affected by their political leanings."
After hearing Jackal's words, Qiu Tu's face suddenly showed a hint of realization. He felt that many things had gone smoothly.
He nodded, then stretched out his hand to signal the jackal to continue.
Jackal moved his knees forward, adjusted to a more comfortable kneeling position, and then continued, "The reason why Sanctuary 3 is the origin of "technological explosiveism" is because their situation is quite special."
"After all, they are one of the earliest shelters established by human beings. Back then, there was a lot of pressure to face evil gods and catastrophic creatures, so many of their methods were more radical, and the competition was also relatively intense."
"For example, their political system. Although their parliament holds the highest power, they have many factions."
"If I remember correctly, there are more than twenty factions in one of their sanctuaries, and these more than twenty factions will compete for the 36 seats in the parliament every five years." (Chapter 458)
"Only the faction that occupies the most seats in the new parliament can form a new government and become the new ruler of Sanctuary."
"This means that all their factions must strive to evolve, iterate, and develop. Only in this way will they not be eliminated."
"In the past few years, they have changed their ruling factions seven or eight times. Things like "Mechanical Faction", "True God Faction", "Fusion Faction" and "Lawful Faction" have been rotated one after another."
"Because they have too many factions, generally speaking, no matter which faction is in power, the other twenty-odd factions can discover new and explosive new technologies in those five years."
"After that, the strength of that faction will rapidly increase, quickly occupying an absolute advantage in the sanctuary, and then successfully take over in the next five years."
Having said this, Jackal paused and commented, "To a certain extent, they have indeed practiced the line of "technological explosiveism"."
Qiu Tu:
Just listening to Jackal's words, Qiu Tu felt that this third shelter was a bit crazy. This made Qiu Tu, who likes to follow order and stability, feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, he asked, "Introduce the factions that have been in power in the 3rd Sanctuary?"
"For example, what are the "Mechanical Faction", "True God Faction", "Fusion Faction" and "Lawful Faction"?"
The jackal nodded.
He said, "The 'Mechanical Faction' is actually the earliest faction to emerge in Sanctuary 3."
"Because, this faction was founded by some scientists from the National Weapons Research Institute and Arsenal before the Cataclysm Era."
"They believe that even in the era of catastrophe, human beings' greatest advantage over catastrophic creatures is still science and machinery."
"Give up your own strengths, learn the power of catastrophe, and then fight against those catastrophic creatures that can use the power of catastrophe. In fact, you are using your shortcomings to gain your strengths."
"So, they relied on the legacy of the old era, relied on the 3rd Sanctuary to establish the cornerstone of the arsenal, and began to study the integration of the power of catastrophe and mechanical products."
"This allowed them to develop advanced mechanical weapons such as unmanned ships, hive drones, mechanical wolves, etc. at the beginning of the Catastrophic Era."
"After that, their ambitions grew bigger and bigger, and they set goals to excavate and open up all the arsenals and industrial facilities before the destruction of the world. They would rebuild the human industrial system and form an endless mechanical army to fight against evil gods and catastrophic creatures."
Qiu Tu frowned slightly after hearing what the jackal said.
As a man in two lifetimes, what Qiu Tu realized the most is: the general trend of history is difficult to change by human power. The wheel of history rolls forward and will crush everything that attempts to block it.
If you sit on the trend, pigs will take off. But if you go against the trend of the times, you are destined to be eliminated.
Sure enough, there was a trace of ridicule on Jackal's face. He said, "In the beginning, when the concentration of catastrophic power in the real world was relatively low, the 'Mechanical Sect' did lead the Third Sanctuary to a period of golden development."
"However, later on, when the concentration of catastrophic power in the real world became higher and higher, and the levels of catastrophic creatures became higher and higher, and even when there were 3rd, 4th, and even 5th level catastrophic creatures, the "Mechanics" were completely unable to withstand it.
Already."
"After all, no matter how powerful the mechanical army is, it can't enter the "Boundless Heart Sea". It can't capture the elusive catastrophic creatures."
"The turning point of everything was actually a joke made by a powerful evil god in the "core area"."
Having said this, Jackal paused, then looked up at Qiu Tu and asked, "Does Your Majesty know about the book "Brave New World" and related events?"
Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment when he heard the title "Brave New World".
He recalled it and vaguely remembered that Yudie (Qin Shuman) told him the story of this book when he was still in New Territories City.
It seems that this book was popular in major shelters more than ten or twenty years ago. After reading this book, many people committed suicide or died strangely. As a result, a terrifying creature was born in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Edge Zone"
Cataclysmic creatures.
That terrifying cataclysmic creature had a special ability. It could directly affect reality by causing disasters in the "Boundless Heart Sea". As a result, six or seven cities in the Third Sanctuary were destroyed one after another. (Chapter 81)
The Third Sanctuary also spent a huge price to get rid of this catastrophic creature.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at Jackal, nodded, and affirmed, "I know about that incident."
Seeing this, Jackal did not talk about the whole story anymore, but directly explained, "At that time, the restrictions in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area" were still relatively high, and evil gods higher than level 5 could not come."
Marginal area"."
"But the rapid development of technology and machinery in the 3rd Sanctuary was really interesting, so a powerful evil god wrote this book and threw it into the 3rd Sanctuary."
"I want to use human thoughts and distractions to breed a peak level 4 or even level 5 cataclysmic creature directly in the "edge area", causing trouble for the third shelter."
"Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded."
"Because that fifth-level catastrophic creature only moves in the "Boundless Heart Sea", the "Mechanical Sect's" mechanical wolves, unmanned airships, and hive drones are of no use at all. They can only be beaten unilaterally."
"So, under the attack of that cataclysmic creature, the entire Third Sanctuary suffered heavy losses. In the end, it was only through the desperate efforts of experts and the assistance of the Second Sanctuary that we got through this level."
"After that, the "Mechanical Faction" was impeached and stepped down. It became a small faction, declined, and completely withdrew from the core power stage of the 3rd Sanctuary."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.
The jackal thought for a while and gave the "Mechanical Sect" a fair evaluation, "Of course, even so. The "Mechanical Sect" has still made a lot of contributions to the human camp."
"Like nuclear weapons, there are also various weapons, such as light individual mortars, shoulder-mounted light howitzers, P12 rapid-fire machine guns, etc. They have re-researched, manufactured and provided them to major shelters." (323
chapter)
Hearing this, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but pay respect to the "Mechanical Sect" in his heart.
He felt that this was just like what Su Wanqing said to him at the time as the "ancestors of the Kou family":
The decline of a family is probably not because of anything wrong. It's because the world no longer needs them.
The mechanists didn't actually do anything wrong, it's just that times have changed.
Thinking about this, Qiu Tu asked again, "What about the 'True God Sect'?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the jackal bared his teeth and said with a smile, "My lord, the 'True God Sect' is even more interesting."
"The "True God Faction" is the faction that came to power in Sanctuary 3 after the events of "Brave New World."
"They were inspired by the "Brave New World" incident. They believe that since the Cataclysmic Era is a spiritual "apocalypse", the spirit can change the material world and even give birth to catastrophic creatures."
"Then, human beings can completely gather their faith, and with the thoughts and thoughts of all mankind, their faith will give birth to a powerful human god."
"In this way, wouldn't that powerful human god be able to protect humans themselves?"
"So, they began to study various methods to unite their spirit and faith, and called on all the residents of the 3rd Sanctuary to unite the god they named "Wa Huang"."
"For the sake of purity of belief, the "True God Sect" regards "Huang Wa" as the only true god in the world."
Having said this, the jackal paused for a moment and started talking about an off-topic topic, "So, we gods who are opposite to "Emperor Wa" are evil gods."
"This is also the origin of the name of our evil god."
Qiu Tu frowned slightly when he heard this. He said, "This one should also have failed, right?"
The jackal bared his two rows of sharp teeth and said with a smile, "Of course."
"If it were so easy to create a god, then the powerful evil god wouldn't have written a book specifically to create catastrophic creatures."
"And even if the "Emperor Wa" is really born, it may not be a good thing for humans. After all, even if the "Emperor Wa" is born, it doesn't mean that humans can control him."
"If he betrays us, humanity will suffer a devastating blow."
Qiu Tu nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense.
Immediately afterwards, Jackal told Qiu Tu in detail about the "Integration Faction", "Agriculture Faction", "Destruction Faction" and other major factions. Each of them has its own unique characteristics.
