Chapter 2: The Gate of the Stone of Destiny
"Joe, you should tell us why you were defeated at the hands of Mr. Lin Dong during the Vietnam War."
Pharaoh Adrian looked at Dr. Manhattan and said, "This is a mystery that has not been solved yet." β
Of all the watchmen, Dr. Manhattan is the wisest and most powerful, but he is gradually detached from human nature, while Pharaoh is truly represented by man, with the strongest wisdom and strength.
In the original watchman, after the pharaoh learned about the future from Dr. Manhattan, he made a plan in front of Dr. Manhattan and set Dr. Manhattan step by step, even in front of Dr. Manhattan without showing any flaws, and his heart did not beat at all, so he perfectly deceived Dr. Manhattan.
"When I was in the Vietnam War, Mr. Lin Dong enlightened me about my humanity."
Dr. Manhattan's eyes were not indifferent in the past, but full of humanity, and said: "In the past, I was always looking at everything from a quantum perspective, which made my humanity gradually withdrawn, so that I always looked at everything from an excessively high angle, and Mr. Lin Dong used another angle to let me know the precious ...... of life."
Thinking back to the Vietnam War, Dr. Manhattan looked up at the photo hanging on the wall of the conference room, which contained a picture of Dr. Manhattan being taken in an interview with a reporter from the United States imperialism after his defeat.
One photo, two worlds.
When Dr. Manhattan looked at the picture, Dr. Manhattan in the photo also looked at him.
Both are happening at the same time and happening at the same time.
"In the Vietnam War, I killed people, and I did not hesitate to decompose tens of thousands of lives and erase ......"
"A person's body is made up of the outer head, neck, torso, limbs, skin, muscles, bones, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, intestines...... In further refinement, there are 206 bones and 639 muscles, which are made up of 6 billion muscle fibers...... Sixty-five percent oxygen, eighteen percent carbon......"
Dr. Manhattan was talking about the composition of the human body.
"In the past, I always stood on a big angle to look at the problem, Mr. Lin Dong called it [macro perspective], I see that there is no difference between human beings and microorganisms, so short, so ordinary, so that I ignore the appearance of people, it is a great miracle, so that I became contemptuous of life, until Mr. Lin Dong woke me up......"
Speaking of the beginning, Dr. Manhattan still sighed.
"It cost 300 billion dollars, 60,000 soldiers, and 100,000 prisoners in exchange...... An education? β
Rorschach said as he spoke, mocking in his tone.
"Yes, that's right."
Dr. Manhattan's vision staggered away from the photograph, and the parallel planes that had been born as a result of his gaze on the photograph dissipated at this time.
"At that time, during the Vietnam War, Mr. Lin Dong pointed to the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of a life that I easily erased, and the life experience entered my mind, and what pain did the family members of this life have because of their departure...... It's all on my mind...... At that time, I was only later committing evil, I realized that I should not be like this, and I realized how precious human independence and freedom are. β
For the U.S. imperialists, the Vietnam War was a huge defeat, which made them lose the advantage in the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and made them fall into passivity, so that Ah Song visited China several times and established cooperative relations with China.
"What a joke."
Sitting on a chair, the laughing master smiled: "In the Vietnam War, we got out a million widows, these widows have no support, you can tell them what independence and freedom are." β
Dr. Manhattan looked at the laughing man and said, "In three days, Yan Shuangying will let you see your brains." β
The smiler's smiling face stopped.
Yan Shuangying is a master by Lin Dong's side, all along, there has been a half-human and half-ghost, the title of the first spear, after getting Lin Dong's guidance, he is the best at surround the enemy army and a battalion by himself, but wherever he walked, the enemy was completely dead, extremely ferocious, and was a famous superhero in China.
Whether it is neon or the American imperialists, whoever has fought with Yan Shuangying, that kind of powerlessness and fear will inevitably accompany him for the rest of his life.
"What a joke."
The laughing master grinned and said, "Where will Yan Shuangying kill me?" β
Dr. Manhattan looked at the laugher for a moment and said, "New York, Times Square." β
At this moment of watching the laughing man, Dr. Manhattan has already observed all the possibilities of the future, but in the case of Dr. Manhattan himself without interfering, the laughing craftsman faces Yan Shuangying, which is the end of the death in Times Square.
Can't change.
"Joe."
Pharaoh Adrian interrupted the conversation between the laughing master and Dr. Manhattan, looked at Dr. Manhattan, and said, "Give us how we will perish, and then tell us the plan of salvation." β
Dr. Manhattan nodded, and a blue light formed in front of him, and a virtual screen appeared in front of the watchers.
"The emergence of the Cold War is due to the incomprehension of the United States and the Soviet Union, and out of the desire of the two countries to win and fight for hegemony, and now there is constant friction between various regions, and the dark cloud of nuclear war has been shrouded, and there may be a nuclear war at any time...... And the reason for this is that countries have never really put aside their prejudices, consulted with each other, and communicated with each other. β
Dr. Manhattan said that the virtual screen shows the situation in the world.
The clock of doom is looming, and nuclear war is imminent.
This is the current world situation, the United States and the Soviet Union are constantly forcing the other side to retreat, and any misfire may lead to unstoppable disasters.
Ah Song always carried a liaison by his side, ready to launch a nuclear bomb at any time, and so did the Soviet Union, and at the same time, in order to cope with the beheading plan, one successor after another was arranged.
All development is directed towards war.
Therefore, in order to cope with this precarious international situation, Mr. Lin Dong has created a network, a telepathic network, in which people can understand each other even if they don't speak......
Dr. Manhattan went on to make an introduction.
"Chakra."
Night Stalker II interrupted Dr. Manhattan and said, "Being able to understand each other without talking is exactly what Chakra meant." β
The second generation of night owls is the descendants of bankers, rich, dressed in the same equipment as Batman, once in order to fight criminals, hard practice a variety of physical skills, and later after the [Keene Act] was promulgated, the second generation of night owls also took off their hoods and became ordinary people, and when the second generation of night owls and Manhattan's girlfriend rolled the sheets soon after, there was already a piece of fat on the stomach.
"Don't interrupt me, Daniel."
Dr. Manhattan looked at the night owl and said.
Daniel is none other than Night Stalker's real name.
"It's not a chakra, it's a telepath."
Dr. Manhattan said: "Mr. Lin Dong is building this, and when it is actually operated in half a year, then everything in the world will be controlled by this psychic sensor, and all people will lose their independence and free will, so that they will be replaced by other wills, and nuclear war will not be launched, but the soul of human freedom and independence will no longer exist." β
"This plan is now known to the US imperialists, and Ah Song calls him [Red Alert], and Huaxia calls it [Radiance of the Republic]."
The role played by China in this Cold War should not be underestimated.
Three hundred years ago, Huaxia fell to Hunu, and then was a slave for three hundred years, fed up with suffering and humiliation, so when Taizu announced that the people had stood up, he would no longer submit to any country or force.
In the face of the Cold War, Huaxia was "two fists beating people." β
As long as you provoke us, no matter which side you are, we will fight.
"In other words, once this psychic sensor is activated, we will all be injected into Huaxia's will, and in such a war, Huaxia will eventually dominate the world?"
Pharaoh Adrian could not accept such a reality.
"How can we stop it?"
On Rorschach's face, the pattern kept changing, showing that he was extremely uneasy at this time, and said: "Convene a military meeting, contact the Soviet Union, jointly resist Mr. Lin Dong, and destroy this plan?" β
Mr. Lin Dong is as powerful as Dr. Manhattan, and if he is attacked, Rorschach does not know what to do.
Missiles, nuclear bombs, none of them have the slightest meaning in front of them.
"It doesn't have to be like this, because no matter how much you struggle now, you can't stop the start of this plan, Mr. Lin Dong has already made arrangements, whether it is missiles, nuclear bombs, or soldier shocks, they can't reach him now...... And if we continue to act, we will let Yan Shuangying cross the ocean and come to the United States, and with our own strength, everyone here can see their brains...... I can't stop it. β
Dr. Manhattan speaks of a hopeless future.
Yan Shuangying alone can wipe out all the watchers except for Dr. Manhattan, whether it is Rorschach, who works hard, Pharaoh Adrian, or the night owl with black technology, or the laughing craftsman, and even Manhattan's girlfriend, the second generation of Siling.
"So what should we do?"
Siling II looked at Dr. Manhattan.
Dr. Manhattan stretched out his hand, and the blue screen changed dramatically, overlapping and overlapping, and tens of thousands of parallel planes appeared at this time.
"SchrΓΆdinger's cat theory, everything lies in an uncertain form, we can't face the future now, therefore, what we have to do is to change the past, follow the flow of time, find the origin of Mr. Lin Dong, and change everything that Mr. Lin Dong has done...... This is the reality we are looking for! β
Dr. Manhattan looked at the tens of thousands of parallel planes in front of him and said, "These are all bifurcations from a certain angle of history, and these futures have been cut off by Mr. Lin Dong and turned into reality...... Look for his shadow! β
Look at the timeline that travels to the past, and look at the watcher in front of you.
Dr. Manhattan sighed and said, "Everything depends on the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone." β
