"The great gods will rain on us, and the crops in the land will be abundant, and everyone in the city will be fed and will never go hungry again!"

He roared hoarsely, his sparse white beard fluttering in the air, his thin skin was tense to the extreme, the blood vessels on both temples and neck were bulging, the thick Adam's apple was constantly stirring, his hands were sometimes raised high towards the sky, sometimes changing into different movements, as if dancing, as if crazy, as if he was having an epileptic seizure, as if he had muscle cramps that could not be recovered for a long time...... At the end of the day, it's just part of the prayer ritual, and if you add an exaggerated mask, you're a shaman who has been left behind from the civilized world to the present day.

Tianhao's face was serious, more solemn and serious than anyone else.

Deep down, he cursed these priests and damned gods ten thousand times.

Jinni...... God Nima is a force!

Without me, you would have starved to death by now.

Not to mention food, I'm afraid I can't even eat.

If there really is a god in this world, it should be me, not something ethereal.

The great leader has long said in "Struggle and Self-encouragement": Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggle with the ground, the fun is endless! Struggle with people, the fun is endless!

Of course, the original words of the original text are not actually the kind of meaning that Tianhao understands, but it doesn't matter. There are countless understandings of any textual description, and it is important to interpret it according to one's own preferences, at the desired time, in the desired place, and with the required logic, and that is enough.

"God says it's going to rain!" On the high platform, the old priest looked like a madman, roaring at a voice that was more than his age.

On the surface, Tianhao seems to be inspired and extremely pious.

In fact, he had cursed the damned god countless times in his heart.

Rain...... Hum! As the old saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", how can it be that if you say it, it will fall?

Of course, I am the lord of the city, and even if I have an advanced brain armed by science, I must obey the will of the majority of people in this situation, and I will be deaf when I should be deaf, and I will pretend to be stupid when I should be stupid.

The tragic experience of a scientist being burned alive at the stake is an example of this, and the result of confrontation with most fools is to burp himself in advance. Being smart is not a bad thing, but you must understand that you are just a human being, and that you are just a white, fragile little flower in the face of the dark tides compared to thousands of fools.

The sky became overcast.

The clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and even the sun is obscured.

The old priest sang and danced on the stage barefoot, as if beaten with chicken blood: "The gods never deceive us, he accepts sacrifices, he accepts the prayers of the lord of the city, he hears our voices." Hahahaha...... Did you see, it's raining, it's going to rain! ”

Countless people knelt down again to the shouts of the old priest, and they bowed again and again before the pile of deer-headed sacrifices. People touched the ground with their foreheads and kissed the dirty dirt. At this moment, reason and science were completely abandoned, and if anyone jumped out and accused them of such foolishness, trying to bring these barbaric creatures back to civilization, he would end up miserable, torn to pieces, and shattered to ashes.

But why did it suddenly become gloomy?

Doesn't make sense?

Tianhao is not a professional weather forecaster, but he has received short-term training in this area, and the saying "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels a thousand miles" comes from life, if not 100% accurate, the accuracy rate is at least 80%.

He is a sorcerer. It's been a few years since he came to this savage world, and Tianhao is like a sponge, frantically absorbing all the information here. The old priest was very optimistic about him and taught him a lot of knowledge, including the prediction of the weather and the special way of understanding the climate in this era.

Whether in ancient times or now, the weather changes at this moment have completely subverted any kind of logic and subverted Tianhao's cognition.

The sky was overcast, and the raindrops falling in the air were so cool that they seeped dampness on Tianhao's forehead.

He touched it lightly with his slightly trembling fingers, rubbing his thumb and forefinger slowly, and the resistance of the rain between the skin was so obvious. The vision immediately became blurry, and the rain wet the eyelashes and dripped into the eyes.

At such a time, shouting wildly, "It's raining, collect clothes" is something that only Master Sanzang does.

Raising his head and looking up at the sky, the heavy clouds fermented sharply like dough, and Tianhao suddenly understood that Zhu Bajie's sentence of "what a big marshmallow" was so realistic.

Stumbling under the eaves, looking at the pouring rain outside, looking at the barbarians who were screaming and running away like frightened hens in the heavy rain, Tianhao felt that his logical thinking was attacked again, and he couldn't help but want to run to the old priest and ask him, "What is the phone number of the great god in charge of rain?" Or n? What is the level of a Twitter account? ”

According to the physical characteristics of different clouds, choose the appropriate reality, and use aircraft or rockets to sow dry ice, silver iodide, salt powder and other catalysts into the clouds to promote cloud precipitation or increase precipitation, which is the principle of artificial rainfall.

Based on past experience, as well as perennial observations of the climate in this era, Tianhao is very sure that this is a damn artificial rainfall.

Planes probably don't exist, and that thing is a bit tall right now. However, rain rockets are very ordinary, far less high-tech than airplanes, and do not require too many harsh manufacturing conditions, both operation and launch are very simple.

The rain was heavy.

Pushed by the air current, they rushed diagonally into the lower level of the eaves, slamming Tianhao's cheeks hard.

He suddenly remembered what Zhan Jianhua said before he died.

"In this world, there may really be gods......

At that time, he didn't finish his words, and Tianhao was not interested in listening. What the dying man said was not necessarily true, and Zhan Jianhua was not to be believed, and every word that came out of his mouth Tianhao thought he was lying.

Can the priests of the barbarians really communicate with the gods?

Just a few fresh Bighorn heads can make the gods come out and rain precious rain in the spring?

Tianhao raised his head, his eyes looked through the hazy rain curtain, and looked straight to the far north.

He felt the need to go to the dilapidated base again and talk to the "old mama".

……

A few days later.

The land in the north has not changed at all, and it still remains the same as Tianhao remembers.

Mountains, valleys, forests, dilapidated buildings, abandoned heavy chariots, radiation-filled environments......

The sloping entrance to the base remained untouched, and Tianhao noticed that the collapsed part had just formed a triangle. If it weren't for this special support, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to find the entrance last time, let alone go in.

From afar, you can see a red light flashing on the side of the light brain screen, flashing and extinguishing, with a cycle interval of up to five seconds, just like a weakened patient whose life is about to come to an end, unable to breathe in a normal way, and lingering for breath.

As soon as his finger touched the light brain, a line of words immediately appeared on the gray screen: "Here you go again." ”

Tianhao's question was very direct: "You seem to have a lot of things to hide from me?" ”

The cursor flashes on the screen: "What do you mean?" ”

"I found some strange people who called themselves "mobs". "Tianhao speaks as straight and round as possible, which is the basis for the light brain's judgment of external voice-activated input." "Old Mama" is so old, it's a real old guy, maybe an old bastard. But in any case, to find answers from it, at least let it understand what it is talking about.

"Mob?" Its answer is logical and unmistakable: "It is not surprising that a radiant environment can lead to biological variations. I don't really understand what you're talking about, but I know you've seen some strange-looking creatures. You should learn to try, to accept, and to acknowledge their existence, rather than shouting at the sight of an alien and feeling that anything that conflicts with the fixed ideas of the brain is the enemy. ”

Tianhao pursed his lips: "Do you think I'm the kind of coward who turns around and runs away when he sees an alien?" ”

"Maybe!" The light brain, which has developed an intelligent consciousness, has sharp words: "Take that old movie many years ago, for example, except for the heroine who was so strong that she didn't look like a human being, the rest of the people died. What they do is in line with what I said earlier, the first criterion for human beings to judge danger is the hideous and terrifying appearance. ”

This guy is almost like a cunning usurer.

Tianhao decided to change the question: "Tell me, are there any gods in this world?" ”

"You mean God? Allah? Or Shakyamuni? The light brain's answer was very rational and logical: "If you are a god worshipper, then of course the gods exist." If you are an atheist, the miracle is a hoax to you. In fact, you should find the answer to this question yourself. As human beings often said in the age of civilization, the end of science is theology. ”

Tianhao covered his lips hard, and his outstretched fingers kneaded his cheeks vigorously: "Can't you give me some information that really works?" You've said I'm a dormant with the highest administrative privileges to date? ”

"I've done my best to help you." The light brain gives people a pitiful feeling, like a wronged child: "I answered all the questions you asked. ”

Tianhao put down his hand and let out a long breath of hot air with strong anger: "This is not the answer I wanted. ”

"And what do you want me to say?" The speed at which the old lady flashed words on the screen increased: "Well, the mob is the offspring of a group of inferior people, each of whom has three heads and six arms, and is the result of bacterial infection plus radiation and biological evolution. As for the gods...... There are gods everywhere in this world, including a leaf that falls on the ground, it has its soul, provided that you see it with your eyes, find it and find it, so that the god can become the woman you like, and then you take her home and do whatever you want...... What do you think of the answer? ”

Tianhao was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I have witnessed the priests of the barbarians asking for help from the gods, praying for rain, and then ...... I saw an artificial rainfall. ”

"Tell me, why is that?" He stared at the screen with cold eyes.

"What's so strange about that?" The old lady did not delay for a second, and replied almost immediately: "Artificial rain is not a high-tech behavior, and a few rain-enhancing rockets can do this." ”

Tianhao was stunned, this answer was simply unexpected, and he suddenly became excited: "Tell me, who did it?" ”

"I don't know." The candor of the light brain is maddening.

"What did you say?" Tianhao had the urge to pull out the steel axe on his back and split everything in front of him into pieces: "You say it again? ”

"I don't know." More text appeared on the screen: "I have a limited detection range, the surveillance satellite lost contact many years ago, all the functions of the base are paralyzed, it is a miracle that I can keep it as it is, what else do you think I can do?" ”

Tianhao forced himself to calm down: "You mean, you didn't do it?" ”

"Of course!" The text on the light brain screen had a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think I have that ability?" ”

"That's artificial rain, I'm sure of that!" Tianhao stared at it.

"If I hadn't identified you, I'd have thought you were an impostor. I think...... It's your logical thinking that's wrong. The old lady's answer was serious and simple: "Do you think that there is only one base in the world?" ”

Tianhao was stunned again: "What do you mean?" ”

"I am not the master of the world, and I do not have the ability to control everything." The text on the screen is very clear: "The age of civilization has been destroyed, and the fact that an asteroid hit the Earth is also a real occurrence." You have to understand that humanity had foreseen such a devastating catastrophe, otherwise it would not have come up with various plans to build bases and shelters in advance. You are a prime example of this, and without a targeted "sleeper program", you would not be here today. ”

Tianhao felt that his breathing stopped instantly: "But last time you clearly said that I was the only survivor." ”

"I'm telling the truth. At the range of my detection, the analysis is based on the data transmitted by the monitoring satellites, and this is the conclusion I have reached. It used to be like this, and now I give the same answer. But there is always a chance of surprises in everything, especially when it comes to comprehensive analysis, and the factor of "time" must be added. ”

“…… You mean, some bases don't respond for a period of time that you're able to monitor, and then it's possible that they'll be activated for some reason? Tianhao understood what the light brain wanted to express.

"I don't have the ability to analyze now, I can only give you a direction to find and analyze." Its answer makes people feel lonely: "I've told you everything, I'm not lying. ”

Tianhao nodded wordlessly.

After a long time, he asked seriously: "Old mama, at the peak of your ability, what extent can the monitoring scope reach?" ”

The light brain replied quickly: "There are eleven satellites in space orbit that provide monitoring information, covering the entire Earth. ”
