There is no doubt that among the many disasters that have befallen all living beings, "burying alive" is one of the most horrific.
The "darkness" around you is tangible. They are like malicious plastic bags, blocking your breath.
And directly above you are weights that are difficult to overturn manually - these weights isolate you from the interaction with the air.
There is no room to move.
There are no elements that can sustain life.
The "imagination" and "creativity" that humans are proud of will become torture tools for themselves. In the darkness, "creativity" will predictably construct "death" situations. Human beings will imagine and distance themselves.
In the area only a few meters away, someone could just walk by, never knowing that there was a tortured soul here...
It was almost in this situation that Yuki woke up.
However, he could still hear the sound.
That was crying.
He felt that his chest was soft, but his stomach hurt badly - it was caused by being beaten.
At the last moment when the corridor collapsed, Xiangshan protected the two children under him, and then put his arms on the ground, forming a triangular structure with the inner wall of the corridor and the ground, creating a space.
Yuki fainted because he was placed on the ground and his head hit the rocks that bounced off the ground.
But the little girl who used him as a buffer was fine.
The girl seemed to have cried until she was exhausted. The intense fear made her almost faint. Even so, she was still kicking and hitting the objects in front of her.
Hearing the "bang bang" sound of metal, Yuki realized that it was his master's outer armor.
Yuki hurriedly held down the girl - he was not worried about his master. His master was covered in armor that could not be cut by other industrial machines, so what did he need to worry about?
This little girl is always under stress and can easily hurt herself.
Yuki felt that this girl's heart was beating so fast.
This speed is not something a natural heart can withstand.
[Nod your head when you wake up, use the visualization method I taught you, visualize darkness, and suppress your brain activity] Xiangshan’s message appeared directly in Yuki’s mind; [Oxygen here is limited, and this little girl has the most biological parts.
, oxygen is given to her first]
As long as the energy is not used up, Xiangshan needs almost no oxygen. Most of Yuki's internal organs, hands and feet are prosthetic, and the demand for oxygen is relatively low. But the little girl's internal organs are natural, and the consumption of oxygen is relatively low.
On the contrary, the volume is the largest among the three.
Xiangshan also noticed that Youki was awake. He whispered: "Hold on for a while longer. The satellite patrols above are very intense now, so don't leave easily. You must hold on for at least an hour..."
However, you can't hold on for too long.
After a while, the government will definitely come and collect the trash that was knocked down.
Most of the materials that can be easily recycled in space have been recycled. But the remaining materials are also resources - at least they are simpler than obtaining them from ores or enriching them from soil.
Furthermore, the government will definitely come to see if the targets bombed by space-based kinetic energy weapons are dead.
The only good thing is that, according to the impression Xiangshan got from the welfare officer, the asylum seekers have always been in a state of "scarcity of human resources" - the Dyson principle prohibits individuals from being loyal to anything impersonal, and asylum seekers have no legal rights
Direct orders are given to the people, so they may not arrive as soon as possible.
But you must leave before dawn.
Xiang Shan thought this way.
The little girl started to be restless again. Xiangshan was really annoyed - he didn't like children at all.
But he still sighed, lowered his head hard, and rubbed his head against the girl's face: "Don't be afraid... don't be afraid..."
The girl was a little confused. The green forest people only regarded her as a toy, and the imprisoned natural people would not think of teaching her to speak. Even if they burned a "language pack" into a chip and inserted it into her brain, she would not know how.
Use this knowledge to build brain circuits.
However, there is only one sentence...
"Don't be afraid."
In the darkness, this sentence was repeated in her ears by many people.
"Don't be afraid."
Somehow, the little girl opened her mouth and said in a crying tone: "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...don't be afraid..."
She said the first words in her life.
Not "Mom" or "Dad" - she never used those words.
"Don't be afraid."
"Well, don't be afraid." Xiang Shan didn't know this and nodded.
After some time, the little girl finally calmed down.
Mukayama gradually increased the power of Yuki's prosthetic body.
"Okay, apprentice. Listen carefully." Xiang Shan whispered: "What happens next may be related to the lives of the three of us. Now, you dig out the soil from behind me and fill it under yourself. You have to move quickly...
…”
Yuki nodded with difficulty, then stretched out his hand, passed under Xiangshan's ribs, and used his hands to dig out the soil under Xiangshan's ribs.
Due to the movement caused by the landing of those space-based kinetic energy weapons, the surrounding soil is mostly soft. The occasional rocks are not a big problem. Yuki's hands and feet were also replaced with minion-level warrior prosthetics before entering Dazhai, so there is no need to worry about injury while digging.
question.
Xiangshan only had one hand left at this moment. He only had half an arm left on one side, and the hand on the other side was overheated and functionally damaged due to the previous high-speed continuous beating. If he had to dig the soil by himself, he would not be able to do it.
There is no way to support this small space.
Yuki followed Xiangshan's instructions and dug out soil from Xiangshan's ribs, waist and neck - this was the ground he could reach.
The soil flowed down like running water. Unable to see in the dark, Yuki could not estimate the total amount of soil.
Several times, he thought he was going to be buried alive.
When the soil was cleared to a certain extent, Xiangshan exerted force on his waist, abdomen and legs, and arched upwards, separating and compacting the soil above, making it rise two feet. But Yuki was almost buried. He struggled to move from
Struggling out of the floating soil and repeating the process.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The three people, like a bubble in the soil, slowly floated up.
Finally, after several hours, I tried my best to push up the mountain, but instead of feeling the weight of the mountain, my body felt empty.
Yuki breathed in a breath of air with extremely high oxygen content.
The three people finally came to the ground.
Yuki looked around, feeling as if he was dumbfounded.
The surrounding terrain has completely changed. With Z organization's Dazhai as the core, all hills and giant rocks within a radius of several hundred meters have disappeared.
Only a pothole remains.
A large crater formed by superimposing many ring-shaped craters.
At the bottom of the pit, a mass of water is gushing out of the ground. This is the underground river.
If the amount of evaporation is not too large, a small lake may be formed here.
Everything in z organization disappeared.
Xiangshan looked at the sky. There were still countless satellites moving above.
We can't completely conclude that it's safe yet.
However, at least there is no sign of a space-based kinetic energy weapon being dropped.
Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.
During the high-intensity exercise just now, his prosthetic leg was completely scrapped. The power system of the torso was also overheated and many problems occurred.
However, at least he survived.
"Huh... haha... I finally remembered why martial arts is not suitable for bullying the weak." Xiang Shan sighed: "There are too many ways for the strong to attack the weak. Compared with martial arts, it is more cost-effective.
A lot more.”
To kill defenseless people, "many guns" are more effective than most martial arts.
No matter how many resources accumulated in a large village like Z's, they can't compete with space-based kinetic energy weapons - and the bombing of this kinetic energy weapon is equivalent to cleaning up the residue of satellite orbits, just "taking out the garbage".
"Master?" Yuki immediately acted like he was "listening to Master's teachings."
"Let's drag Master to the donkey first. Before daylight." Xiang Shan sighed: "Also, check the pocket under your collar. I should have stuffed a hard drive into it just now. If so,
If you lose it, I will expel you from the school."
"Ah?" Yuki was shocked: "You didn't say this before!"
"Stop talking nonsense, check to see if it's still there, and then pull."
Fortunately, the hard drive was still there. So Yuki put the little girl who was about to fall asleep on Xiangshan's chest, then twisted his clothes into a strip of cloth, tied one of Xiangshan's hands, and dragged Xiangshan forward.
Xiang Shan looked at the starry sky and said: "Humanity's 'weapons' have always been in a state of 'overflowing lethality'. To 'kill people', a knife is enough. All thermal weapons have 'overflowing lethality'. Even if
Let's turn it into a prosthetic body. Most prosthetic bodies can't withstand conventional thermal weapons, let alone what they are now - tell me, how much martial arts training can you do to ensure that you can survive a supersaturation bombing from a space base?
And this is the cheapest kind of weapon. If they release self-powered nuclear weapons, tsk tsk."
Yuki nodded while pulling hard: "Yes, martial arts... is indeed very good! It's useless!"
"That's right. The cost of a supersonic warrior prosthetic body can buy an entire fleet of supersonic drones, right?" Xiang Shan said: "So, the side with the advantage in resources will definitely not choose martial arts.
Planting things is a routine method, right?"
"yes!"
"Actually, historically, the side with the disadvantaged resources will place its hope on the 'elite warriors'. History has proven this countless times." Xiang Shan thought: "Well, let me think about it...the other side of the Pacific Ocean
, about two thousand years ago, right? At that time, it was probably in the "Wasteland Age" of ancient society, when technology, organization, and culture were all disintegrating and regressing. At that time,
The huge empire was divided into three kingdoms. One of them was called 'Shu Han'. If you read the historical stories, you will realize that they...that style of painting is different from that of the entire era, very much following the classical
The moral kind - at least the bottom line is a bit higher than others."
"If you are familiar with the story, you will find that in their records, you often win in battles, but if you win, you will perish - this is the consequence of elite soldier tactics. Because it takes a lot of time for an elite soldier or a brave general to grow.
For a long time, it takes a long time to cultivate and replenish it after one death. But its enemy can be ten trained ordinary soldiers in exchange for one person's life. For elite soldier tactics, 'a small victory means a defeat'."
The tactics of elite soldiers must continue with great victories and great victories until the final victory. If it is only a small victory without a very high exchange ratio, then victory is almost the same as defeat. And a big defeat is enough to determine the fate of these elite soldiers and generals.
’s final fate.
In fact, the ruler of the Shu Han Kingdom, Marquis Wu, one of the "Ten Philosophers of the Martial Temple", also pointed out this problem in his famous article handed down - that is, "these are all the elites from all directions gathered within decades, and they are not
If the land of one state is lost for several years, two-thirds of it will be lost. Why should we use it to fight against the enemy? This minister has not solved five problems."
I haven’t solved the six problems yet.”
National strength, or the amount of "resources" cannot be reversed by "elites".
Humanity's military thinking for thousands of years has always been biased towards "those who control many resources". That is the "Sword of the Emperor" of the strong.
Cyber martial arts is the "sword of common people". It will always be the sword of common people, because from the beginning of its design, it is more biased towards the side with "less resources".
If someone who has mastered many resources wants to use this method to kill the enemy, he would be stupid.
Yuki was a little discouraged. He stopped to let his hands and feet that had just been running at high intensity rest for a while, and asked at the same time: "Then won't there be no hope for us knights?"
"That's not the case. We actually have another advantage - consumption. Is the consumption of resources on both sides also asymmetrical?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh?"
"The garbage that was smashed down just now were originally satellites. Sending a satellite from the surface of the moon to the earth's orbit requires a lot of money. This is just a space-based kinetic energy weapon." Xiangshan gestured to himself and his body with his head.
The little girl: "And you see, all the money they spent just now didn't have the desired effect, right?"
A huge army must mean huge consumption.
And saturated weapons mean greater consumption.
You know, even in modern armies that place great emphasis on "sharp shooters", most bullets are used for "fire suppression." It is common for thousands of rounds of bullets to kill or injure an enemy.
Yes, this is still an "overflow of lethality." In fact, most of the firepower consumed in the war did not affect the enemy.
The ultimate development of this line should be the beginning of the 21st century.
At that time, the "brave men" in Central and West Asia spent a few dollars to set up tents as false targets, and their modern enemies often had to use missiles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to hit them.
And these "brave men" seem to be living in the Middle Ages, and their weekly salary is only a few dollars, far less than the hourly wages of their enemies.
Such a horrific exchange ratio would naturally make the superpowers at that time feel overwhelmed - it was not that they could not afford the money, but that it was simply not worthwhile.
"'Not worth it' - this is how the knights win." Xiang Shan looked at the starry sky and said with a smile: "Appearing in the industrial zone makes them unable to make up their minds and destroy the knights and valuable production equipment together. Hide yourself and let
Every one of their actions failed, leaving all their resources to be put into empty space. Also, they used the absolute advantage of individual soldiers to accumulate advantages bit by bit."
Yuki gritted his teeth.
He seemed to realize something.
In this idea, the only thing not considered is...
The value of life.
If life is priceless, then no matter how much resource exchange ratio one life is exchanged for, it will be a loss.
Xiang Shan nodded: "Yes, this thing is designed for people who are desperate and have only one life left - of course, our chivalry and morality also include many other things. For example, if you don't want to
If you follow the concept of 'knowledge openness', you will easily be eliminated. That's the basic design."
"Only those who are desperate can join the fight only if they are willing to risk their lives and share everything with like-minded people."
At this point, Xiang Shan withdrew his gaze from the stars and looked at Youki: "Kid, the martial arts I designed are just this kind of thing. Now you understand, your mother is right in thinking that you shouldn't be a knight.
.”
Yuki's lips moved.
"How about it, do you regret it? It's not too late to quit now."
Without saying a word, Yuki turned around and continued dragging Xiangshan forward.
"What's wrong? No answer?"
Yuki said dullly: "I know...Master, you have good intentions. But! I! Still! Not! Revenge!"
He exerted force as if venting his anger.
"I want to take revenge on this world!"
Xiang Shan smiled.
good.
He continued to look at the stars.
"Of course, you don't have to be too disappointed. 'Chivalry' and 'Martial Arts', compared to 'resources', even though they have numerous weaknesses, they also have general strengths. When we designed it, we made it difficult to be destroyed. No matter what
No matter how many times you fail, there will always be a little seed left..."
"A long time ago, I felt that if everyone in the world could perform their duties and do their jobs well, the world would naturally become a better place. Just like me, I, my friends, and I solved the problem of human beings eating.
, solved the educational problems of mankind. We thought at that time, we are scholars, so we should do our job well and solve the technical problems that trouble mankind, and then naturally there will be other people... People from all walks of life, all kinds of people,
Rise up and make this world a better place.”
"Innocent...so naive..."
Xiang Shan said this.
After calming down, he repeatedly looked at himself in his memory and came to this conclusion.
It seems that after that memory, I have gone through a long time and had a completely different experience.
Yuki suddenly stopped.
"Master, don't you remember the past?"
Xiang Shan smiled and scolded: "I suddenly remembered that I am a teacher, can't I?"
"Wait a minute, Master, are you a noble lord? Aren't you a knight?" Yuki was shocked.
"Tch, what's all the fuss about?" Xiang Shan shook his head: "In the distant ancient times, many of Ren Xia's ancestors were from noble lords. A person cannot decide his origin, but he can decide the path he will take in the future. What you need to learn
There are many more, little devil."
Youki breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes shone: "Master, since you have recovered your memory, you must know a lot of things, right? You also know things in ancient times? What about your past?"
"That's a long, long story." Xiang Shan glanced sideways at his disciple: "I didn't ask you to stop. Keep pulling!"
Yuki said while pulling: "Master! Tell me about your past!"
After several hours, they finally reached the donkey.
When the east turned slightly white, the "Donkey" started and moved forward.
The artificial stars in the sky also melt into the morning color.
