Chapter 119: Shackles
After Chu Yu came into contact with so many underground races, he felt a lot.
Unlike the surface, most of the underground civilizations are solid.
As long as they have gained the friendship of each other, this group of people can be said to know everything without saying anything, even if it is a dwarf.
Of course, it does not include the two races of non-mainstream and female savages, who can't even understand the words.
Perhaps this is also the advantage that the smaller the population, the fewer disputes there will be, no external fighting, no internal fighting, no social experience and defense, and no hostility when seeing outsiders.
The fifth layer of this group of intelligent races that use prosthetics as mechas, like the birdmen on the fourth layer, are very realistic, asking what to say.
In a few moments, through Zero One Three's explanation, Chu Yu had a general understanding of the intelligent races that were still surviving in the fifth layer.
This civilized race is called the Empire, not the Papa Clan, the Kaka Clan, or the Guardian Avenger, the Third Party or the like, but the Empire.
Originally, there were twenty-three intelligent races in the fifth layer, including but not limited to humans, but as a result, twenty-two were destroyed, and there was only one empire left.
The Imperials are not really humans, although they are genetically similar to surface humans, but they have two extra pairs of chromosomes.
In the underworld, the intelligent race will be resurrected after it is destroyed, according to the calculations of imperial scholars, the resurrection time is related to the population base, and every time it is resurrected, the population base will be reduced in equal proportions, and the resurrection time can be roughly calculated, and the resurrection location is also in the pit of oblivion.
The fifth layer covers a huge area, covering 270 million square kilometers, which is nearly half the land area of the largest country in the surface world.
Of course, in the words of Zero One Three, it is the Empire that is the most powerful, so it still stands tall on this land.
Everyone knows that if the empire is really powerful, it will not be possible to make tens of thousands of deformed monsters cry and cry like just now.
It's called an empire, and of course it's an empire.
In the fifth layer, more than three hundred years ago, there were a total of twenty-four intelligent races, and twenty-three were wiped out by the deformed monsters, leaving one empire to survive.
In contrast to the illiterate people at the grassroots level, the Empire regularly sends organizations similar to expeditions to observe the ecology and latest changes throughout the underground layer.
This is the basic situation of the empire, and the environment is relatively harsh, not the natural environment is harsh, but the deformed monsters are almost everywhere in this land, and the hinterland of the empire is the last promised land of the fifth layer.
It is said to be the Promised Land, but in fact, it is also precarious.
The empire's only foreign combat military establishment, that is, the Frontier Army, has been marching westward, killing deformed monsters, establishing strongholds and fortifications, and slowly rubbing westward, and the deformed monsters are basically in a tug-of-war, and the speed of external expansion is slow.
Because the annihilation of the resurrection of other intelligent races is on the west side, it just so happens that the deformities have been gathering in the west direction.
The reason why the border army pushed the map in the direction of the west side was because it was necessary to empty the oblivion pit.
Other intelligent races will be resurrected, but the resurrection is in oblivion
In the rectangular pit, but there are a large number of deformed monsters wandering in the area of the oblivion pit.
So the fifth layer is facing a very embarrassing problem.
The intelligent race was wiped out.,It's finally resurrected.,I haven't figured out what's going on with my bare eggs.,The deformed monsters that wandered around swarmed up.,And then... and perished.
It's equivalent to the deformed monster has been guarding the corpse, which is very embarrassing.
Different intelligent races have their own cultural characteristics and racial advantages, and the area of the fifth layer is so huge, not to mention dozens of intelligent races with a population base of more than ten or two hundred thousand, even if it is ten times more than that, otherwise the empire will not let the border army push the map to the west.
If you want to kill freaks, you have to rely on the population, and the population of the empire has an upper limit, and it can only save other races to increase the population.
It's a pity that the idea is good, the reality is cruel.
Although the mecha is mass-produced, the speed of destruction is much faster than the production speed, and there is no way, the number of deformed monsters is too much.
The empire has a population of more than 300,000 people, all of whom live in one city, and it is also the only city in the empire, called the Imperial Castle, and the boss of the entire empire is His Majesty the Emperor.
Dracula is not wrong at all, this is the old society of imperial feudalism that is all evil.
Bloodline determines everything, the big boss emperor has the purest bloodline, so he is the big boss, the ruling class is all the so-called nobles with pure blood, even if it is a fool idiot, as long as the blood is pure, it is a member of the ruling class, and it is useless for the civilian class to struggle for brains, because the bloodline is not good.
The whole empire, everyone, is busy with one thing, and that is to live, and if you want to live, you have to find a way to do deformities!
All the manpower, all the resources, are all centered on fighting the deformities.
Science and technology, people's livelihood, culture, and everything else is to give priority to military and national defense, that is, to beat deformed monsters, and to study how not to be beaten by deformed monsters.
Needless to say, technology, research mecha-related technology points, and then let mecha beat deformities.
People's livelihood is basically not, because it seems that people are free, but in fact, they are not free at all.
As for culture and education, it is the idea of indoctrination of the whole population to kill deformed monsters.
The whole country is highly unified and highly centralized, externally, it is deformed, and internally, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the ruling class.
The most bizarre thing is that the purer the bloodline, the more complete the body.
The Emperor was the only able-bodied man in the entire empire who did not use any prosthetic limbs.
The ruling class may change their fingers, or change their arms, or something.
Ordinary people basically lost their original limbs, and were replaced by various prosthetic limbs that could improve work efficiency.
Therefore, if Chu Yu, Yan Snake and Dracula entered the Imperial Castle, everyone who didn't know them would think that these were three nobles with extremely noble blood, because they lacked arms and legs.
The most unacceptable thing for the Chu royal servants is that the replacement is free, but there is a price to use.
It's like zero one three
Although his power biological armor and the prosthetic limbs he uses are mass-produced by the state, he does not use them for free, but has to work for the state as a soldier, and the remuneration he receives is just enough to pay for the prosthetics and mecha.
This situation is simply a ridiculous situation.
A soldier has to go into battle to kill the enemy, and to kill the enemy in battle has to use guns and bullets, the problem is that guns and bullets are not free, so you have to spend money, so where does the money come from, the remuneration given by the country after going into battle to kill the enemy, but this reward has to buy guns and bullets issued by the army, which is simply the most nonsense thing.
The empire replaced the original limbs of all ordinary people with prosthetic limbs to ensure that the work efficiency was improved, which was a forced nature, and as a result, after replacing the prosthetic limbs for others, they needed to pay for them.
The mobile phone will be given to you for free, yes, but it costs money for you to make a call, and it costs money to even turn it on, and it doesn't work if you don't want a mobile phone, even if you don't use it, you have to spend money.
This is completely fraud and fraud, how can a person live without limbs, so you have to need a prosthetic, with a prosthetic limb to work and make money, you don't want a prosthetic, you can, starve to death, because other people have prosthetics, work better than you, and have higher efficiency than you.
From Zero One-Three's tone and demeanor, it can be seen that this kid feels as if all this is a matter of course, and it seems that he has never thought about this as a very unfair thing.
It can be seen that not only him, but also other mecha warriors, as well as the residents of the Imperial Castle, or the common people of the entire empire, are living like this, deprived of their freedom, and then working for free.
In this case, all the people are trying to survive, for a unified goal, thinking in one place, and working hard in one place, but Chu Yu still feels that this society is deformed.
The problem is that the so-called managerial rulers do not need to force the replacement of prosthetic limbs, nor do they need to pay any price for prosthetic limbs.
Chu Yu could accept that those in power played hooligans and directly enslaved all the people.
The problem is that it's not right for you to wash the loach and set up the archway, and you also set up a name to say that the price of paid prosthetics is not a superfluous move, you directly put a gun against someone's head to let people work better.
Although Chu Yu despised the rulers of the empire in his heart, he did not show it on the surface.
Dracula and Flame Snake didn't care about these things, and immediately sneered.
Dracula said with a mocking face: "Forcibly replace your hands and feet with prosthetic limbs, and then force you to pay for the use of prostheses, no one is so shameful." ”
Yan Snake said heartlessly: "If I directly uncover the rod and go to his uncle, what kind of deformed monster is not deformed, let's kill the person in power first." ”
The originally good-tempered Zero One Three's face changed greatly, the baby's face turned red, and he said with a stiff neck: "Although you have selflessly helped us, this does not mean that you have the right
Blame His Majesty the Emperor and our leadership class. ”
"Shabi one. The flame snake pursed his lips in disdain, and ran to the side to study the huge mecha used for engineering.
Dracula said happily: "As a senior knight and a noble lord full of righteousness and daring, I am an expert in the matter of uncovering the uprising, contact me if you need it, I will help you with advice, free of charge." ”
Zero 13 clenched his fists and glared angrily.
Dracula shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and suddenly looked at Chu Yu: "Eh, don't say it, this is similar to a house slave, born destined to get married, and if you get married, you must buy a house, most people have to take out a loan to buy a house, and if you take out a loan, you have to repay it, and you have to pay it back for thirty years, and you will work for others for half your life, hehe." ”
"It's not the same thing, after thirty years, at least the house is your own, and it will create different values during this period. ”
"When I was in my twenties, I took out a loan to buy a house, and I paid it off almost sixty, and after a lifetime, I had a house, and the value I created did not belong to me. ”
"As I said, it's not the same thing, the surface world is diverse, you can't generalize, and there are few countries that are still imperial. ”
Chu Yu didn't want to continue to discuss this issue, so he hurriedly blasted Dracula away, afraid that this guy would continue to cause trouble.
After all, it is on someone else's territory, and the energy of the subatomic collider is not fully loaded at this time, and this group of mecha warriors has long been brainwashed.
Patting Zero One Three on the shoulder, Chu Yu smiled: "Different intelligent races have different development processes, please forgive my friend for not being able to understand the cultural characteristics of your country, I'm sorry." ”
The growth environment of this guy determines his three views, order, management, and law, all of which are superfluous, for him, any so-called authority or manager is a despicable villain, take care of himself, and care about what others do, come out to mix, whoever has a big fist is the boss, and it just so happens that his fist is very big, so he advocates this disorderly chaos, and then it is popular, it is the blind runner mentality of the cynical world, basically the blind streamer who will fight without serious education and culture, basically all of them are this kind of three views.
In addition, the mecha that I have in my heart can't be used at all, so I have a strong dissatisfaction with everything in the empire.
If he can wear a mecha and people can give him one for free, not to mention that they are a feudal and evil old society, even if they want to destroy all the underground world flame snakes, they may be able to make a plan.
Of course, there is still a difference between the flame snake and the ordinary blind raffle, although the flame snake does not admit it, but this guy has been saving the world, what he thinks in his heart is what he thinks, but reason tells him that those he looks down on are indeed correct.
As for Dracula, this guy's three views are very strange, or there are no three views, plus he won't die at all, so he doesn't talk at all.
But Chu Yu was different, no matter what Yan Snake and Dracula thought and said, he couldn't do that.
A madman, plus a fool, if the remaining one is no longer a normal person
, if it is placed in a TV series, it will definitely not survive three episodes.
0131 looked like a young man who had not been deeply involved in the world, and when he saw Chu Yu apologize, his face slowed down and waved his hand repeatedly: "No, no, no, as you said, we are in different worlds, I can understand it, and I don't take it to heart." ”
Seeing that the other party was no longer entangled in this matter, Chu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Running to other people's territory to question other people's management and ruling methods, at best, this is a diplomatic incident, and at worst, this is a reckless reckless person who doesn't know whether to live or die, and the strong dragon doesn't fight the head snake.
Chu Yu glanced around and asked strangely, "Don't you have to deal with the corpse of the deformed monster?"
"It won't take long for the corpse of the deformed monster to decompose. ”
Zero 13 explained it in a general way, including the fact that the deformed monsters that were destroyed would exponentially multiply and appear on the next layer.
Chu Yu was dumbfounded: "The upper layer has eliminated the deformed monsters, and more deformed monsters will appear on the next layer, what is the reason for this Nima?"
"I don't know, I just know it's a nightmare loop. Zero OneThree's tone was full of helplessness and sadness: "Kill them, and more deformed monsters will appear, but if we don't kill them, they will destroy us." ”
Speaking of this, Zero 13 said in confusion: " Originally, in the fourth layer, the number of deformed monsters is not very large, at least in a few years, the guardian clan can completely deal with it, while protecting themselves, regularly eliminate a small number of deformed monsters, and the matter is also under our control, but suddenly things have changed, a large number of deformed monsters actually appeared in the rear of the empire, it is conceivable that the guardian clan should have hunted a large number of deformed monsters in a short period of time, if it weren't for you to appear, maybe the deformed monsters have rushed into the hinterland of the empire and around the imperial castle. ”
If Zero One Three knew that everything was caused by Chu Yu, he didn't know if he would immediately use the knife.
Chu Yushen changed greatly, and he didn't hear what Zero 13 said after that at all.
He finally knew what the "nightmare" was when the birdman leader Lilith spoke of.
No wonder it's a terrible nightmare.
Kill one Freak and two or even three will appear, and they will appear on the next floor.
This means that freaks can't be killed.
The most terrifying thing is that you can kill it, you can kill it at will, but the freak monster can be resurrected, and there are many at once.
If you don't, the freak will kill you.
There are only two options, the first one, drink to quench your thirst, and the second one to sit and die.
Chu Yu was dumbfounded: "Then the deformed monsters on the eighteenth underground floor have all been killed, and they will appear on the first floor?"
"At most, we have only explored the seventh layer, and we can't enter the world below the seventh layer, but there has always been a rumor in the Imperial Castle, and it is rumored that the threat of the eighth layer is not the deformed monsters, but the cannibalism of the intelligent races, in short, there have been no deformed monsters on the first, second and third floors, at least the Papa tribe on the third layer has not seen deformed monsters, and the only threat to them is a group of savage and primitive madmen. ”
Chu Yu knew that what the other party was talking about should be a madman
The tribe is out of the mainstream.
As for the world of the eighth layer, no one seems to have been there, and the dwarfs, birdmen, including these people in the empire, have never reached the eighth layer.
That is to say, perhaps the real answer lies below the eighth level.
He came down from the first floor.
As Zero 13 said, there are only buildings in the pit, there is no life, and not only that, but there is not even a complete ecosystem.
And from the third layer onwards, there are threats at every level.
The third layer is the non-mainstream of the madman tribe, and from the fourth layer onwards, the freaks are the biggest threat, and the people of the empire and the birdmen should also have close contacts.
It's just that the Empire's military weapons are all developed around the biomechanical warframe, and the Birdmen cannot use this biomechanical power mecha, and it is estimated that the Empire will not have war weapons based on the special research and development of the Birdmen.
Zero 13 continued: "The ecological region of the third layer is relatively intact, the first and second layers, because of the use of mass destruction energy weapons that destroy the balance of the ecological region, so there are no more intelligent races, the empire will send people to explore upwards every once in a while, the first and second layers of intelligent races have not shown signs of resurrection, but even if they are resurrected, they will not survive, after all, the ecosystem has been destroyed." ”
"What does it mean that weapons of mass destruction energy disrupt the balance of ecological regions?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot to say it. Zero 13 smiled helplessly: "The scholars of the empire have been testing the value of the ecological balance chain for a long time, the value has almost reached the peak, and the decline is very slow, once the weapon of mass destruction is used, no matter what form of energy weapon, it will cause the ecological balance value to reach the peak, and if the peak is exceeded, there will be a natural disaster in the underground world, and a natural disaster will destroy the entire underground layer." ”
Chu Yu frowned.
It's a weird and weird setting again, but it seems to have a very reasonable setting!
It is no wonder that it is possible to develop a black technology individual weapon such as a mecha, but it does not use a weapon with mass destruction, because it is afraid that raising the so-called peak ecological balance will cause natural disasters.
This reminded Chu Yu of the nuclear weapons of the surface world, nuclear weapons will also damage the ecological balance, and in the end, the evil consequences will be swallowed by himself.
"How is the value of ecological balance measured?"
"I don't know, only the scholars of the Imperial Castle know what is inside, and only they will give you an answer. ”
Chu Yu nodded.
Looks like we really have to make a trip to the Imperial Castle.
He was very interested in this so-called ecological balance value.
Looking around at the towering mountains on both sides that were about to approach the heavenly bedrock, Chu Yu became more and more curious.
He remembered a sentence, a sentence that Chu Fugui had said.
Humans have been dying, changing their tricks, creating weapons and technologies that they simply can't control, and it won't be long before humans kill themselves.
And the reason why Chu Shuye wants to destroy the world is actually to put a shackle or a restriction on everyone in the original intention of doing all this.
Chu Shu didn't do what he wanted to do at night
succeeded, but overturned and got away, and this sand sculpture directly destroyed the world.
As a result, what Chu Shuye didn't do, the underground world did.
The population is restricted, and it is purely a dream to want to be superborn.
Weapons of mass destruction cannot be used, as they can cause natural disasters.
Species are also divided, and no one can be extinct because they can be resurrected.
Species can be resurrected after death, and civilization will regress after resurrection, and the more times it is resurrected, the faster it will regress.
Different species evolve naturally in a high-pressure extreme living environment, or decline naturally, and survive the fittest.
Chu Yu felt more and more that the underground world seemed to be a huge laboratory, a laboratory for observing the evolution of different species.
Various settings and restrictions ensure that different species cannot be completely wiped out, and also ensure that the survival of the fittest can be naturally evolved.
couldn't help but look at the sky.
Above the sky, there are no clouds, only the bedrock.
Chu Yu suddenly had an illusion that in the sky, there was a huge eye, staring at everything, like a god, observing, waiting.
