Chapter 151: Get through this

The human body is not adapted to industrialization and modern life.

The human brain will prompt them to constantly seek sugars, proteins and fats. However, the efficiency of humans in modern society in obtaining food is countless times higher than that of their ancestors 40,000 years ago, and their digestive and metabolic systems cannot handle excess nutrients.

The human brain refuses to understand the fact that "salaries are settled on a periodic basis". They can accept that "a hunt/gatherer lasts for several days, but every action should have results." Some people will take a long time to take advantage of a small advantage, and that's right.

It’s because the positive feedback from “Little Cheap” is so timely.

Scholars of evolutionary psychology believe that "psychology" and "spirit" are produced by the evolutionary process of our ancestors in the hunter-gatherer era, and the evolved adaptors are the programs and applications for manipulating the machine of the body.

But now, this adaptive application itself is in conflict with the civilization created by human beings themselves.

The more modern an organization is, the lower the demand for individual quality and the higher the demand for single professional skills. But human instinct is to "revere heroes". "Heroes" are the thread that runs through mythology, suppressing the idols of ancient and modern times. People have

There is an instinct to get rid of control, but there is also an instinct to surrender.

Many modern mental illnesses were born from this.

Countless seemingly “irrational” cultural phenomena are the revolt of the dead souls of the past.

This is human beings.

Humans are not creatures born to grow in a concrete jungle.

This is not surprising.

"But no matter how unadapted human beings are to modern society, no one will really quit and go back to the living conditions of their ancestors if they have the choice." Xiang Shan said calmly.

Even if someone is really tired of his life in modern times and wants to withdraw and live in seclusion, he will not go back to the age of hunting and gathering. The world has been changed by humans. In this world, there are very few ferocious beasts that can harm humans.

It is a species selected by humans. The "farming tips" accumulated over a long period of time allow farmers to feed themselves more easily - even their farm tools are magical tools that their ancestors could not imagine thousands of years ago.

Xiang Shan said: "The 'security' brought by civilization is this kind of thing. Once you have tasted it, no one can let it go."

This decisive difference may lie in the "concept of death".

For hunter-gatherers, death will always come "unexpectedly". In the civilized era, the closest people to hunter-gatherers should be the nomads. Nomads will love their brothers and sisters and will do their best for them.

They mourn for death, but this does not prevent them from abandoning the elderly and seriously ill relatives. This is their view of life and death.

Sometimes, some people who are seriously ill and abandoned are lucky enough to recover and come back to visit us again. These more primitive humans may even think this is "unfortunate" or "unfortunate".

Agricultural civilization is domesticated by years, months, and days. The world in their eyes is cyclical, and life is often predictable (even though many times this "predictability" is just an illusion)

Historically, it has been so difficult for nomadic civilizations and agricultural civilizations to understand each other. The roots of their cultures are different.

Xiang Shan pointed at Dai Jiutai: "You are just using modern technology to create more powerful hunters individually."

"Historically, humans will not return to nomadism, let alone hunting, because farming and industry have provided them with a sense of security 'away from the unknown' and 'away from death'. In the original adaptability of human beings, there is also 'hope'

The element of "gaining profits through adventure" and the element of "getting quiet away from the unknown". In the era of hunting and gathering, these two factors were balanced. Human beings would stay at home peacefully when there was enough food, and

Be enterprising and progressive when resources are scarce. But modern society provides different choices, and human beings can work without facing life and death. Therefore, the originally balanced yin and yang are out of balance."

"And what about the modern Green Forest? Because of our struggle, the resources they need have been greatly reduced. The so-called baseline people, Cybermen, can survive at a very low cost. As individuals, they are far better than civilians.

Although they are powerful, there are not enough knights stronger than them. For them, 'practicing martial arts' is not only to hone their hunting skills, but also to 'make efforts to stay away from death'."

"Because of the achievements of past civilizations, they do not have to face the difficulties faced by their hunting and gathering ancestors. But they themselves are so harmful to human beings."

Xiang Shan looked at Dai Jiutai: "Why do you approve such a project?"

He pointed at Tianji Sanren again: "Don't you feel ashamed to do this kind of project?"

Tianji Sanren's hands began to tremble, as if he wanted to fight back.

But the personality-covered prosthetic body next to him locked him tightly.

Dai Jiutai said: "Senior, you..."

With a "boom", the chariot started suddenly and rushed towards Tianji Sanren.

Dai Jiutai spoke just to divert attention. He thought the time was enough.

In the sky, countless drones have moved to preset positions and started swooping attacks. Countless lines of fire fell from the sky.

Xiang Shan rushed out almost at the same time. Tianying's headless torso jumped high, holding two machine guns, and rotated his upper body 360 degrees to fire in all directions. Many missiles were exploded in the air or were killed.

But Dai Jiutai's preparations obviously didn't stop there.

The missiles are divided into several groups, and Tianying can only deal with some of them.

These bullets formed a formation. Many missiles began to turn after reaching the ground.

No matter whether you rush towards the mountain to Tianji Sanren or Dai Jiutai'a, you will be bombarded by these thermal weapons.

But Tianying's headless body was finally torn open.

He rolled towards the mountain, then raised the shotgun lent to him by Master Blackhand, and fired two rows of cone-shaped shrapnel.

Then, he threw the gun with both hands, accelerated on the ground, and rushed directly towards Dai Jiutai's chariot.

Looking at the figure with a hand on his back, Dai Jiutai understood the other party's intention.

——I see, the target is me?

——Tianji Sanren has no ability to escape, so just kill me first...

——But, it’s not that easy!

The machine gun on the side of the tank spit out flames. But Xiang Shan moved flexibly and successfully avoided the wave of suppressed fire.

More explosions came.

Xiang Shan was shot several times and was ten meters away from the chariot in an instant.

More missiles flew over.

Dai Jiutai controls the chariot with a desperate will. Those missiles will blow him and Xiangshan to pieces. But the armor strength of the chariot is much greater than that of the prosthetic body. So as long as he survives here...

——As long as we get through this...
