Chapter 34 The Desperate World
Yes, it's so desperate.
The shadow-seekers can fully understand the president's thoughts.
The once glorious civilization was destroyed, and the original tools were turned over and pressed on the original master. The former lord who claimed to be the master of everything, abandoned his faith and despise the gods, and was suddenly expelled from his home. He could only guard the isolated sky city, and planned a counterattack for decades, but he was defeated step by step. Civilization struggled between survival and demise.
Everything is so desperate.
Who doesn't know that even if the memory is awakened, the clone is still a clone and can never become the real self. Even if the clone named himself is still walking in time, the essential self is dead? However, even a civilian still strives to make himself believe that the clone is still himself, face the newborn after death calmly, and treat the newborn clone as the relative of the past.
Who doesn’t know that relying solely on the basic resources of the capital circle, human beings cannot maintain large-scale wars. Faced with the machinery that occupy global resources, the hope of one side of human beings is slim? But for decades, everyone in the floating city is still trying to prepare for war and try their best to resist the invasion of machinery.
Who doesn’t know that the whole world has fallen, and it is not reasonable for the capital circle to withstand the attacks of machinery that concentrate global forces? The ground cities corresponding to the floating city can launch a siege of hundreds of thousands of troops every once in a while. How much pressure will the capital circle, as the last ground stronghold of mankind, bear? How can there be Yuyu mining minerals for the floating city to use, and even Yuyu concentrate all the research results of all floating cities to produce new powerful weapons to supply various cities?
However, what can I do if I know?
In this world where you can only see despair, what other ways can you do besides using the capital circle to resist this only hope to anesthetize yourself and support yourself?
Even if you can see a glimmer of hope under the siege of despair, it is also the driving force to support human beings to persevere. If even this hope is lost, when hope is destroyed and only despair remains, human beings’ only choice is to give up on themselves, and then civilization will really come to an end.
In fact, there are signs of giving up on oneself now. Compared with the generation who just climbed the Sky City decades ago, this generation is indulging in love with sensuality and greed for pleasure. Although they are still working hard, they are no longer as good as before. This is still the result of maintaining the glimmer of hope in the capital circle. No one dares to imagine that if the capital circle is really proven to be a lie, people's hearts will collapse at a speed of multiple pieces.
In fact, there is no need to imagine it. Just look at Delia's expression on the side. She finally understood why Shure suggested that she leave the seat. It was still too exaggerated for her to accept this information without any preparation. Therefore, the girl's face is pale as paper, her body trembles like fallen leaves in the wind, losing the obstruction of the building, and the sunlight shines directly on her face, making her eyes look white, and her vision loses its focal length, and she only feels dizzy.
It was not until she felt a big hand holding her little hand that the girl recovered from the chaos, but even so, she still felt a buzzing sound in her ears and her throat was dry. Not only could she not say a word, but the sound around her seemed to be coming from a distant place.
"You saw it too, Mr. Shure." The president of the black market said with a wry smile. "Maybe you can't understand it, but our world is too fragile and can no longer withstand any blows. Even though we know that there are many problems in the capital circle, no one is willing to go into it."
"Well." Shur nodded. Without going through similar despair, he really could not put himself in his shoes and felt the human thoughts of this world. However, when he thought of the future of Pavatiga, he couldn't help but feel bitter. He had never experienced similar despair yet, but it was hard to say whether the same despair would come to him in a few years.
"Mr. Shur mentioned the Mechanics before." The president sighed, "To be honest, Mechanics are humans who have completely given up their hope. They were defeated by despair and turned to worship the radicals who turned into data. Some even secretly went down to the ground and called themselves pilgrimage. Those radicals who had only made logical judgments did not kill them. Instead, they did not know what they did to them. This process was called blessing by them. After blessing, they would send them back to the Sky City and encourage more people to become believers. Two consecutive sky cities fell in the past two years, which was the result of internal destruction by the Mechanics believers. Therefore, all forces in the city were extremely resistant to Mechanics and would never be merciless to those who exposed their identities. To be honest, before meeting a few, I once suspected the identities of several people, worried that you were traitors sent by the Mechanics."
"Because we bring your kind?"
"Well, we can detect that you carry a lot of electronic devices, including biological brain-like devices, which are very similar to us and very similar to machinery. Of course, the most important point is that your performance when you appear is too suspicious."
"Ha, that's right. We come and go freely in the group of mechanical beasts. The mechanical beasts turn a blind eye to us. It's hard not to remind people of those people." Shuer nodded, "But there should be a difference."
"There is a difference. We quickly dispelled our suspicion because... you destroyed many mechanical beasts." There was no display screen around, so the president gave up on the image demonstration. "The biggest feature of the mechanics worshippers is that they will never attack any mechanical beasts."
"Of course, we will not attack the gods we believe in. Even disrespect is a serious crime. I believe they are the same." Shur sighed, "Put this question aside first, and discuss it privately when you have time, or go back to the question just now."
"Well, how high our price is depends on how big Mr. Shuer's appetite is." The president stared at Shuer's face, "so we need to know first what you want."
"You don't have to test me anymore. From the beginning, I said that we are just envoys, and just projections, we can't bring anything, and we can't take anything away. We just hope to exchange information with you and have no interest in invading your world." Sure certainly, he would not know why the president tried repeatedly. Just like when he met those metal living organisms, he was also full of vigilance against the foreign civilization. Even if he felt its memory personally, he had to repeatedly verify it. Now that the outsider has changed to himself, it would be strange if the other party was not so careful. "Our principle is not to interfere with the local world, so you can rest assured."
"Is information exchange?" the president frowned and said, "It's too wide, what do they include?"
