Chapter 25: Remembering the Past

  When Babbitt started today's broadcast, Xiang Shan was sitting outside, looking at the Western Ocean in the distance.

Although he is a hero, Babbitt has the ethics of a broadcaster. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the program, he will not open the door when he is broadcasting. Xiangshan is also embarrassed to go in.

But the signal here is extremely good.

Bobbitt is telling a story.

The story is roughly told. There is a family in a wilderness settlement. The protagonist's uncle is a lazy foodie. When dividing the family property, he ate part of the protagonist's father, which made the whole family disgusted. The uncle could not stay in the settlement any longer, so he went to work in the city.

, and then it was reported that he had made a fortune, joined a gang, and became the most respected double bonus stick. But one day, the protagonist's uncle suddenly sent a video saying that his gang was going to join the Green Forest and enter the wilderness.

, so we can no longer contact you.

The protagonist's family had mixed feelings about this. They were happy that their family had a great supporter, but they were worried because they heard that the Green Forest was inhumane, and they didn't know if they could still contact them. But even so, the uncle finally sent a message

The video record of the communication is also the biggest spiritual support of the protagonist's family. When they have a dispute with someone in the settlement, this hopeful video will be played. No one in the settlement is not afraid of Green Forest, so what?

Because of this, the protagonist's two sisters were attracted by the best men in the village.

But one day, the protagonist's family was on their way to the city when they unexpectedly saw "a man who looked very much like his uncle" at a charging station on the edge of the city. The uncle was not the completely prosthetic person in the video recording, but a man with only

An ordinary person with fairly decent hands and feet.

The protagonist's father inquired about it and found out that his uncle did join a martial arts gym in the past, but failed to achieve results, and later joined a gang. That's when his good hands and feet came from. But he soon met the lord

The master wiped out the gang. The uncle snatched a high-performance metal battery, and then gradually saved some solar panels. He made a living by charging the passing cars and handing out power banks.

As for the "full-body prosthetic instant messaging" that convinced the protagonist's family, it was actually a small plug-in he wrote himself. When his uncle was young, he was really glib and was mistaken for being smart, so he was raised as a white paper fan and straw sandals.

Time. But after all, he never stepped into the door of internal strength. He could only write some simple things and was unable to participate in modern internal strength offense and defense.

As a result, the uncle was no longer the "backbone of the family" and "a well-known figure in the green forest". He turned back into the "lazy liar" that his family called him. But the protagonist and his family did not recognize their uncle after all. The family took the

After recharging the batteries, they returned to the settlement and continued to play the video record that brought them hope.

 The whole story is basically a modern version of Maupassant's "My Uncle Jules".

I have to say, Mr. Babbitt still has a good storyteller. He rewrites the story well and tells it very well, with a rhythm that most people can listen to.

The only thing that makes people feel a bit weird is that the broadcaster is still thinking about the metal battery that was blown up by Xiang Shanwan.

  ——The resentment is really heavy...

 Xiang Shan is still quite helpless.

 The collision at that time was actually what he deduced as the "most feasible tactic". For a few seconds, he had to face the Rangers' barrage.

 Having a motorcycle block it is the best tactic.

And he also got back a dozen isotope batteries!

 This is not an opportunity that comes often. Most of the rangers act alone. Even in the battle when the major lords besieged Taunhai three years ago, the rangers were scattered into the army as the "elite of the patron side".

This kind of team composed of pure rangers can only be assembled by scientific research knights directly under the kings or with related projects.

This kind of harvest opportunity is really rare.

However, it’s not like Xiangshan can’t understand this situation.

Three and a half years ago, when he was just dug out by Yuki, he didn't even have access to this high-quality metal battery.

Xiangshan held a long stick in his arms and sat on his vehicle. This was the motorcycle he rode out of the city of Dela Cruz.

In the past three years, he has also upgraded the hardware of the prosthetic body. The most important thing is to install the fission furnace that the Eighth Martial God did not use back then.

In order to block the radiation of the fission furnace, he had to make the torso that accommodates the core of the furnace larger. If this torso was lined with a three-meter-five-meter giant, it would be just right. But Xiangshan's prosthetic body is still two-meter-five meters, which seems a little bit

Uncoordinated.

But there is nothing we can do otherwise. If the barrier layer is thin, the radiation will penetrate. The exposure is still secondary, the main reason is that the interior of the prosthetic body cannot withstand it. High-energy particles can cause TID damage to electronic devices, single particle flipping,

Effects such as single particle latch-on can cause reversible or irreversible damage and functional failure. Xiangshan's biological brain is not weak in radiation resistance. The life system modified by nature's miraculous craftsmanship and intelligent design has great self-healing capabilities, but the fragile central processing unit

On the contrary, the computer cannot tolerate this excessive radiation. The radiation will also accelerate the deterioration of the hard disk - even the radiation resistance of Homo sapiens is slightly stronger than that of precision computers.

 But Xiangshan cannot just put the fission furnace and barrier layer on the trunk.

 Xiang Shan has not yet found the right hands and feet.

However, the benefits are obvious enough.

 Now Xiangshan can get rid of solar panels. As long as he brings the parts, he can go anywhere in the world.

 The motorcycle carrying parts is even charged by himself.

Xiangshan just listened to Babbitt’s broadcast and watched the sunset slowly set.

 Then, a waning moon rose from the east.

Xiangshan’s thoughts also spread like moonlight.

This is the moon of 2334. It does not look much different from the moon of 2029 - except for the roads visible to the prosthetic eye, the moon seen from the earth only has traces of buildings on the edges.

 After absorbing the memory of the Eighth Martial God, Xiangshan finally knew how the current era was calculated.

At the end of the Ascension War, he rushed into the enemy camp and faced off against Hartman and Yawgmoth. After he was defeated, Yawgmoth announced that Xiangshan had been executed. Yawgmoth

It is believed that this time point symbolizes that everything in the old civilization will be destroyed in this war, and civilization will enter a new world, so official history calls it the "Sublimation War."

 The AD chronology, which had nothing to do with "religion", was also completely abandoned.

 Humankind has abandoned everything in the past.

 Then, another two hundred and nine years passed.

 In the year 209 of the New Calendar, he was dug out of the garbage dump as a head.

Recycle Bin Town is said to be the site of the War of Ascension, but before and after the Chivalrous War, humans had already begun to conquer the solar system. At the end of the Chivalrous Secret War, Xiangshan and Yawgmoth regained the stolen authority and killed

The thief who stole the country.

 But Yawgmoth did not return the "power" to the people.

 Because that “power” is indeed too easy to steal.

The terrifying behemoth built with the Superman Enterprise as its core has weaved the authority condensed into seals, crowns, scepters, and thrones in the past into a series of codes. It is an unprecedented power of life and death.

It is no longer the kind of thing that "people without qualifications cannot bear". With it, you can live and die.

 This is the “technology” that Xiangshan once believed in.

Technology is a thing without a position. It naturally has no position and only stands on the side of objective reality. It is neither good nor evil. Good people can hold it, and evil people can also hold it. It will not feel "

I must work for the benefit of mankind."

 Because technology is technology.

With the help of Zhu Xinyu, Anatole, Ingrid and other internal skill masters, Xiangshan and Yawgmoth won that match.

 As for the specific incident, Xiang Shanwei really doesn’t remember it.

The only thing that is certain now is that he lost the last game, and then his situation took a turn for the worse. Anatole disappeared very early. Then Yawgmoth took in the dog that once sided with the tyrant. "Agni" has since

At that time, it became the nightmare of this world.

 Hartman helped Yawgmoth reconstruct the defense wall. The codes that could control human life and death became unknown to Xiangshan and others.

The sublimation war has been going on for a long time. Xiangshan has won and lost.

 Ke Xiangshan just can't remember what happened on the eve of the Shengzhen War.

 ——Such an important memory...

Xiangshan thought so.

After being attacked at first, Xiangshan was a little hesitant towards Yawgmoth. The heavy shackles represented by those code locks could not be lifted in an instant. The Sword of Damocles hanging high above human heads

, will inevitably exist for a long time. This is an objective fact. Anyone who touches it may become a new tyrant. Maybe Yawgmoth's methods are just too radical.

Xiangshan himself has to admit that the long-term war has turned the knights of that generation into gods and demons that cannot be restrained by conventional laws and cannot be touched by conventional means.

 If you want to make society function again, you must restrain these knights who are already completely different from ordinary people in terms of abilities.

but……

 Xiang Shan’s anger and hatred at this moment are absolutely real.

 In fact, a philosopher left a prophecy hinting at fate in the 19th century—the goal achieved by improper means is not a legitimate goal.

Three years are not enough for Xiangshan to retrieve all his memories. But Xiangshan doesn’t need to remember, he can know it just by looking at the world now.

 Xiang Shan swung the long stick in his hand, and then stabbed it toward the moon as if venting his anger.

 “Hartmann…”

 The hatred that belongs to the "Martial Ancestor", the anger that belongs to the "Eighth Martial God"...

"Hero Nonem?" At this time, Babbitt just finished the broadcast and walked out. When he saw Xiang Shan's behavior, he was a little strange: "What are you doing?"

Xiang Shan thought for a while: "Remember the past."
