9 But do good deeds, and ask not about the future
Next is Sun Lao's narration:
"So the two of us stayed in the Red Mansion to hang around and play, hehe, don't underestimate this inconspicuous building, there are hidden mysteries inside, first of all, this small building is a closed space, although we can see the scenery outside the building, but we can't get out of the door at all! All in all, it's a magical place.
Also, there is a large underground cave under this building, and my brother and I visited the cave, which contains all kinds of materials, including all kinds of industrial equipment.
Mr. Zhao found a lot of chemical equipment, and I, except for the kitchen equipment, basically didn't know what those things were for, although I was an old college student, but after a long time, what I learned had already been returned to the teacher.
In addition, we have been confirmed that the two boats parked on the beach are also for us, and Anna herself tells us that the volunteers and boats in the building, together with the supplies in the cave, will travel together to the past three hundred years ago.
A few days later, in the midst of boredom, Nicole suddenly returned, with a tired face.
She found the two of us and said, what if, what she emphasized was that if there were only two of us, at most plus Zhu Beiguo and Xu Zhi whom you knew, and a person named Quan Zhenhai and his parents, there would only be seven people in total, what do you think?
The two of us were taken aback, are there only seven of us? Three of them are still old men? Why is this so?
Nicole replied that the recruitment of volunteers had been going on for some time in that forum, but the results were very unsatisfactory, and now it was possible to identify only the two of you and the few who were coming to take part in the crossing. The others seem to be just lip service.
Nicole said that her face was gloomy, and she felt that this time-traveler from 65,000 years ago had suffered a big setback in life in front of the ancients.
So Mr. Zhao and I immediately said, Nicole, the number of people crossing is too small, and that will greatly reduce our survivability. Not to mention production and construction, just a few of us, we can't start those two boats!
At this time, Mr. Zhao calmly asked Nicole, what kind of difficulties did you encounter in recruiting people? Can you tell us about it?
Nicole nodded, and she told us that there was no one to cross voluntarily except for the 'wonderful' like the two of you......
The two of us were a little silent when we heard it, and we thought about it, oh, ordinary people, who live a good life in modern society, why do they want to travel to the past?
However, Nicole frowned and said, however, there are many people who don't look so ordinary, these people have said that they want to volunteer, but these people's motives are terrifying, and some of them are simply perverts and demons!
Speaking of this, Nicole shook her head and sighed: The only reason why these perverts and demons have not become a big problem in this world is that they are at the bottom of society and have limited energy to do evil! So she was very reluctant to send those scourges to the new world.
In short, the recruitment operation is extremely unsuccessful, especially since many people often think of her as a person with a brain problem, or think that this is just a spoof or a liar, or they must want to do something on them, hey, in short, it is really embarrassing!
The more Nicole talked, the more anxious she became.
After listening to Nicole's words, Sun Lao lowered his head and thought about it, and then made a major suggestion to Nicole, and it is precisely because of this suggestion that the brothers are getting together now!
The suggestion is to use the medical technology in your hands to find those who are sure to have died or are about to die, and then resurrect them, and then make them volunteers in your time-traveling scientific experiments.
Sure enough, there is no need for a hammer to beat the drum, and the clever Nicole immediately understands the mystery and convenience: it is reasonable from any point of view to ask the rescued person to participate in the crossing after rescuing people!
Anyway, as soon as Sun Lao's suggestion came out, he saw Nicole's eyes light up, and two brilliance immediately burst out in her eyes, so Nicole couldn't wait to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Sun Lao.
Sun Lao also put forward three conditions to Nicole to save people:
Article 1: Saving people is a good deed, the so-called but do good deeds do not ask the way forward, the rescued people do not care what professionals, let alone what kind of consideration such as the composition of talents across the group.
In short, go and save the poor people in this world who need help the most! Therefore, you ask the rescued people to be guinea pigs in your scientific experiments, which can be regarded as a karmic return, and the two do not owe each other, right?
Article 2: Be sure to find those ordinary people with normal views.
In short, don't invite religious extremists, racists, populist militarists, etc., because such people are the poison of the group!
It is necessary to unite across the collective, but in order to achieve unity, it is better not to have all kinds of radicals in the collective, otherwise sooner or later there will be a split within the collective, and even if it is not, there will be tragedies such as the Great Purge.
Therefore, in order for everyone to have a good life after crossing into the new world in the future, in order to be able to break out of their own world in the new world, everyone's behavior should be people-oriented, pragmatic and rational, so that everyone can coexist in harmony.
Article 3: Because this crossing operation is not forced, it is given to the other party, then try to recruit orphans, and let those who have no family ties be volunteers.
Because such a person will have a much less psychological burden after crossing.
Of course, when choosing orphans, we must carefully examine their character, otherwise the consequences will be more serious, because, although orphans have no family bonds, and do not need to be tested to abandon their relatives' bottom line of character, but it is precisely without these bonds that it is likely to find people whose behavior has no bottom line, so we must examine our character and find those who are pure-hearted.
Regarding this point, Sun Lao summed up and said: Don't try to test human nature in everything. The evil of human nature is the darkest abyss of this world. In the face of the evil of human nature, even the saints of the ages can only helplessly say the words 'gentlemen do not stand under the dangerous wall', as ordinary people, you and me, it is a wise choice to avoid this test as much as possible.
However, for Nicole and Anna, if they really want to follow these three rules, it will definitely make the work of recruiting volunteers a lot more difficult, after all, the range suitable for participating in the crossing will suddenly become very narrow.
So at the beginning, Sun Lao and I were a little worried, for fear that Nicole would disagree with Sun Lao's opinion.
Because if Nicole chooses a group of good people to participate in the crossing, of course, it is her conscience, but in terms of job responsibilities, she can also ignore these at all.
After all, for scientific research itself, the key is that someone participates in the crossing, and whether this person is good or bad has no effect on the scientific experiment itself.
But Sun Lao's words actually persuaded Nicole.
Nicole pondered for a moment and said, these three articles of Sun Lao are indeed very important for your future survival, don't worry, I won't save those bad people who deserve it.
I will not go to those who do things unscrupulously and without a bottom line in order to realize their ambitions or so-called ideals, no matter how lofty and glorious this person claims his ideals.
At the same time, I also hope that it is best for you to stay away from such people in the future, because it is unfortunate and dangerous to become a person close to such a person.
To be honest, at the beginning, I thought Sun Lao was making a big fuss, but Nicole's words did remind me.
As far as we are concerned, in that new world 300 years ago, the biggest enemy was not any external force, as long as we steadily bury our heads in development and gather the historical, human, and technological forces accumulated by mankind over the past few hundred years, we will not be afraid of any force.
However, our only enemy, and our deadliest enemy, is probably ourselves!
The so-called woe to the wall, the strong fortress is always breached by the enemy from the inside, and we have to guard against it. In short, in order to add an extra layer of insurance to our travel plan, we must find the right person.
Nicole said "Write it down" and turned away, and it was obvious that she was a little anxious about the stagnation of her work.
Later, Anna told us that Nicole was the head of this scientific research project, and that she had a lot of responsibility and pressure......
Now it seems that Nicole has seriously referred to Sun Lao's 'Three Principles of Saving People', hey, I don't know if you have noticed, the young people lying in the medical cabin on the first floor are basically orphans in this world, and some even grew up in orphanages, and even their surnames were not given by their biological parents......"
