Chapter 1 Despair of the world's tech tree
The world is unscientific. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Science is still showing its glory in this era, but it cannot explain in a concentrated way the existence that was born in this era.
For example, biology cannot explain the half-mechanical, half-carbon-based life that emerged from the oceans - the deep seas.
Physicists are unable to use mathematical models to extrapolate the mental power that the new humans possess that is sufficient to interfere with reality.
The chemists couldn't understand how the petite shipwives transformed the various mixtures they swallowed into shells with new special structures and released energy.
The boy half-crouched on the low eroded cliff couldn't understand why he could concentrate enough to make the metal piece in his hand glow faintly.
The irregular piece of metal flowed with a strange faint blue glow, which was not a rare thing, but the most common metal in the world, which he had just picked up.
Human beings are most afraid of the unknown, even those who have lived again. He was a little unacceptable to this inexplicable change, because it was not scientific.
Can human consciousness really interfere with the real world?
Of course, the man who has actually experienced death is now beginning to accept the existence of the soul and spirit, and he no longer feels that human consciousness is just a kind of self-deception of the brain. After all, the scientific knowledge he knows can't explain the fact that a person starts a new life after he has obviously died, or carries with him the exact memories of the previous life.
In fact, he wanted to complain about why he wasn't reborn in his past...... After all, it is a world that he knows well, and with his knowledge and thinking beyond his peers, he can greatly help him, and do a lot of wanted and unfulfilled wishes.
Unfortunately, the world won't open a second window for you. He laughed at himself for being too greedy, and that it was already a great opportunity to live one more life, and what more could he ask for.
The boy whose appearance is a child, but in fact, his body is also a child, and his soul is an uncle, who is thinking about the philosophy of life.
At first, he didn't even know why he died, his consciousness wandered in the void, and he didn't know when he came into this life, but he gradually began to understand a lot of things that had happened before through the many stories told by his parents and some of the information he was looking for.
In his previous life, he died of famine, and while working in the university library, he was buried by collapsed bricks for some reason, and he was starved to death without anyone to rescue him and have no food to stockpile. Only now did he have some guesses about the situation.
More than 100 years ago, a real apocalypse befell this world, extincting nearly 90% of life, and humanity lost the vast majority of its compatriots, even if it had a weapon called science to defend itself. Most of the people who died from the earthquake caused by the meteorite fall and the lava that erupted all the time, should be one of them.
The current self can actually look at the former self with a detached attitude, should it be said that it is worthy of dying once?
The boy continued to think about such questions in life, but did not notice the passage of time.
Dead once and then alive again is already very unscientific, he said that he has already experienced a hundred battles, and no matter how many tricks there are, Tucson is too young, too simple. After experiencing death, there is nothing that I can't accept.
But when his father took him on a tour of official business, he witnessed a cute blonde Lori about ten years old, after training with something like a toy main cannon model, and easily opening a hole in a mountain rock several feet thick that is half a human high, irreversibly has a feeling of collapse of three views.
How did this monstrous power come to be condensed into that petite girl? And, according to his father, a more powerful being could even flatten a hill with a single shot.
Since then, he felt that the scientific monarch of this world should be dead, at least half-dead, or hopeless.
Although this world is still the world he lived in before after more than a hundred years of changes, it has been completely different since the meteorite that destroyed the world fell.
The boy raised his head, and his deep black pupils reflected the turquoise sea and gloomy sky, as well as the bare and vegetated mountains and rocks of extremely strange shapes.
Intense radiation covers the entire Azure Planet, and everywhere there is strong or weak radiation, whether it is the earth, the ocean, or even the sky. Because of this, almost all life has been affected by radiation, and most of them have undergone abnormal changes. Some species that have been lightly irradiated have only undergone benign changes, just taller and more robust than they were; Some plants and animals that have been exposed to radiation have become highly destructive and surprisingly aggressive. These mutant species alone are a headache for humanity and have become fierce rivals for humanity to restore their homeland, and humanity has to spend a lot of energy to solve them.
The ocean has also turned turquoise for some special reason, and although we don't know the exact reason, most people believe that it is related to meteorites that fell from the sky.
The boy sat down again, playing with the shimmering piece of metal in his hand. The metal in his hands was not any pure metal or alloy known in his previous life, and although some properties were similar to iron, the luster and hardness of the surface were quite different.
This is a special alloy called Oster metal, also known as Augin. It is a new resource discovered by human beings during the cataclysm, but it is precisely because human beings correctly recognize the special effect of Aojin that human beings can overcome various external crises and maintain their own survival.
If the cornerstone of the steam age is the steam engine, and the cornerstone of the electric age is the generator, then the cornerstone of the human world in the radiation age is this strange metal. Whether it is to obtain energy and fuel, or to use it for a special purpose, it is an important way for humans to resist this crazy world. And this metal is unexpectedly easy to collect, and it only takes a little difficulty to overcome, and basically the new humans in this world can do it.
Although he was surprised that the human tech tree was crooked because of this special metal, it was quite normal compared to the more unscientific existence he came into contact with in this world, the ship mother and the deep sea.
The humanoid life that is named by humans as the ship lady and is also known as the 'war queen' is the greatest reliance of human beings to resist the harsh ecological changes in the outside world. They are capable of wielding powerful naval guns, torpedoes, and even airplanes soaring through the skies to wipe out deep-sea life that has invaded human habitats.
The ship's high-speed maneuverability and concealment, powerful firepower and naval and air combat capabilities, as well as the current terrible and harsh environment, have completely kicked out of the necessary defense system many weapons that mankind once relied on. Even if new technologies are still being restored and developed, there is still a long way to go if they want to reach the combat level of the ship's girls.
When the little boy heard about the ship's mother, he couldn't help but feel hopeless about the distorted worldview of the world. Obviously, there is still the existence of human technology, but it is inevitably overwhelmed by the unscientific ship system, this strange situation seems to be a little familiar?
Therefore, when the little boy first heard about the ship's mother, he inevitably thought of the word Admiral, which was quite close to him.
Yes, the humanoid life of the ship girl is summoned by some unscientific method, and of course not all new humans have this ability. It is true that the new human is much stronger in physical fitness than the old human, for example, although he is still an eight-year-old child, his strength is not smaller than that of an adult in his previous life, but he is still not qualified to become an admiral. But there are some very special factors that the little boy knows about becoming an Admiral, and he has not been able to find out from his father, Mr. Admiral, who has a fairly high status in the human world.
The watch's crisp beep interrupted his thoughts.
The upper part of the otherwise dim screen was lit up, and a beam of light was released from the special connector of the watch, which transformed into a video image of the electronic signal transformation in front of the boy.
In the past, boys would have been surprised by this ultra-perfect AR (augmented reality) technology, but since they got used to it, they didn't think it was that great...... After all, at the end of the day, the current tech tree in this world is still crooked.
"Xiaoya, it's lunchtime? If you don't come back for dinner, you won't be allowed to enter the federal network today, right? ”
Appearing on the screen is a blonde beauty standing in front of the home restaurant in an apron, making real-time calls through the camera's capabilities.
Obviously, this is his mother in this life, although he sometimes feels a little awkward, but he also acknowledges his mother's identity in his heart.
Xiao Ya is his mother's affectionate name for him, just like his nickname, although at first he was still a little unable to accept the obviously different name and identity of Aritus, but the habit of man is terrible, as if he can now accept the reality of being a child without hindrance.
"Mother! I'll go back now! The boy's slightly immature voice was transmitted to his mother through the video function, and he hurriedly stepped down from the eclipse cliff and followed a winding path to the deeper part of the island.
However, before the boy walked into the winding path, he paused slightly, and the afterglow of his eyes spread to the beach in the distance. A group of yellow-skinned men are laboriously digging up the hidden Aojin in the offshore zone to earn their daily living expenses. Their bodies are weak and they have various pathological changes caused by their inability to withstand radiation reactions.
What can be seen on the Sin Chew Islands is just a tip of the inequality between the old and new human beings in the human world.
In this world, there are two kinds of human beings.
A new human who undergoes a radiation genetic mutation and moves towards a deeper evolutionary path. Compared to the old humans, they not only have greatly improved their physical fitness and intelligence level, but also have the potential to become admirals, and they are the backbone of humanity to resist the mutations of the deep sea and the outside world.
Unable to withstand radiation, the body is fragile and has no future, and the old human beings are surviving in this radiation era, even if the life span and physical qualities are far inferior to the new humans, they can still survive in this world strongly, which has to make people respect the tenacity of life.
This is the Age of Fallout, where there may be crises everywhere, mutated life, deep-sea monsters, and humanity no longer has enough energy to maintain even superficial fairness.
