Xiangshan is an amazing person.

In Yuki's eyes, this man named Xiang Shan is the most amazing person in the world. He knew a lot of things that Yuki, his mother, and even the mayor and Dr. Schultz didn't know. But on the other hand, he always believes some strange claims for no reason.

For example, he would ask Yuki to address him as "Master".

It is said that this title contains a kind of "contract" between a chivalrous man and a chivalrous man.

For example, he genuinely believes that "it is possible for us to live in a super-large illusion". Not only that, but he also invented a ritual to test this kind of thing.

And the core component of that instrument is actually an oily, dirty machine.

But Xiang Shan's appearance is really serious. After covering up, he asks Yuki to take the machine apart and reassemble it. This was repeated five times, and it was only after making sure that Yuki could still remember the structure of the machine even after being detached from the chip assistance.

The next morning, Xiang Shan returned to the town with Yuki.

But at this time, Yuki's cottage actually had an unexpected visitor.

It's actually the mayor of the town.

"Mr. Mayor." Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"Yog...... No, it's time to call you 'Mountain'. The creature part of Mayor Mare's face piled up a normal smile, "I'll see how you're doing." ”

His gaze kept glancing at Will's remaining prosthesis.

Xiang Shan sent Yuki away, and then asked a little strangely, "How do you know ......?"

"The doctor is my nephew. I heard that you bought some parts from him, and it occurred to me that you were going to assemble the prosthetic body yourself. The mayor smiled: "It's inevitable to be curious!" How's your prosthetic doing? ”

Xiang Shan shook his head: "This matter is too difficult, so it's just a beginning." ”

Seeing that Xiang Shan didn't put his brain into that canine-like prosthesis, the village chief was inevitably a little disappointed.

He knows that the prosthetics of these warriors have their own design concepts in them, and many parts and structures in them are matched to each other. It's actually very bad to change it casually.

In his mind, Xiang Shan just hot-plugged his brain and put it into a canine-like prosthesis, which was the best result.

However, when he thought that Xiang Shan might be a "chivalrous man", the mayor felt that he might not be suitable to interject.

He shook his head and asked, "Do you have any difficulties in this matter?" ”

- This is ...... Gestures? Or is it just about doing business?

Xiang Shan thought for a moment and tried to ask, "I don't have a suitable shell right now......"

The shell of this canine-shaped prosthetic body naturally cannot be directly used on Xiang Shan's body. Xiang Shan felt that he should also know bionic boxing, but bionic boxing was not a fist used for combat, and he was not used to using bionic boxing.

But Xiangshan really needs a shell, at least to avoid dust. The shell can also avoid the observation of others to some extent. At least Xiang Shan felt that with a shell, he could avoid being knocked out of the battery by the enemy's first move.

And then there's ...... It was luck to be able to survive from Will Granddog.

He really needed a skull cap that matched the fractured mouth of his head.

No matter how strong the brain-computer barrier is, it can't meet the standards of alloy armor. Exposing your brain to the outside to fight is a little too exciting.

It's just that Xiang Shan's skull seems to be made of some relatively rare alloy, and it is still too difficult to repair it.

The mayor pondered for a moment: "This is not difficult. There's a 3D furnace in town. If you can report the specific parameters to me, I can make a simple - of course, there are no good materials in the sublimation war remnants, and we can't melt the battleship materials. ”

Xiang Shan was a little hesitant: "Then ...... charge"

"Don't look out like that, mountain." The mayor patted the shoulder, which was like a mountain wire, "You saved us all." I can still afford this kind of payment. ”

- Really?

Xiang Shan was suspicious of this. When he went to buy parts, he could sense Dr. Schultz's tentative meaning. Dr. Schultz is the mayor's nephew. The town's interests don't seem to see him entirely as a "savior."

Is Mayor Mare?

"I haven't asked you yet, mountain. You're in a recycling station town, are you used to living there? Ever since you were dug up by Yuki......"

Xiang Shan raised his hand and interrupted the mayor's words: "Mayor, I am still very grateful to this town. You were there when Yuki woke me up. I know you saved me. I remember all of that. You can be regarded as my savior, if there is anything you can do, you can just say it, if there is anything I can do, I will try to do it. ”

The mayor stared at Xiangshan, as if thinking about something. But Xiang Shan didn't know how to read his eyes from the camera. In the end, the village chief seemed to remember something and nodded: "I understand, then I'll just say it." In half a month at most, the welfare officer will be here......"

Xiang Shan was taken aback: "So good? There are still social benefits? ”

"When will there be no social benefits? It is natural that if you collect taxes, you will have to give social welfare! The mayor was also taken aback: "Why don't you even know this?" ”

Xiang Shan didn't expect that this organizational structure seemed to be completely regressing to the era of feudal society, and there was still the concept of "social welfare". He scratched his head: "Strange...... How did I forget...... Is this important? ”

The mayor shook his head like an old man worried about his nephew: "You forgot so many things, what can you do......

Xiang Shan asked, "What does the welfare officer do?" ”

"What else can I do? The tax collector collects the genetic tax, and then in half a month, the lord will count the taxes in various places, and then the welfare officer will announce the benefits according to the taxes......"

With the introduction of the mayor of the town, Xiang Shan realized that the so-called "welfare" was actually very different from what he thought.

Here, the so-called "welfare", like the "tax", is an infant.

It's just that these babies are not taken in, but are people who flow out of the human gene pool.

There is nothing to say about the "quality" of these babies, and most importantly, they can effectively prevent the problem of homogeneity in the various settlements.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of benefits is 120 percent of the tax

If you take ten babies, you will return twelve.

These babies are then given to those who are willing to raise them.

However, caregivers are not allowed to give the male of these babies their own surnames or change the "middle name" of the female baby.

The last name is labeled with the Y chromosome, and the middle name is labeled with mitochondria. It is precisely because of this need that the "family" can be established.

The first of the Dyson principle is that "all human beings have an obligation to maintain the genetic diversity of human beings", and to refuse this obligation is to automatically lose the protection of civilization. And a large part of the "name" is labeled as "genetic diversity". An extension of the Dyson principle, people are prohibited from changing their names arbitrarily.

But......

Xiang Shan was a little surprised: "With such harsh conditions, there are people who are willing to adopt children?" ”

Humans want to raise young children because genes give living beings the instinct to "perpetuate the information of genes". In some human cultures, the "adopted son" can be used as a continuation of the adoptive parent's culture, inheriting honors such as "family name" or something - Xiang Shan's impression should be like this.

But for now...... Neither by their own blood, nor allowed to inherit their own name?

The mayor was a little strange: "Why not?" Is it a benefit for family members to help each other? ”

"Welfare...... Oh...... I got a rough idea. ”

Maybe for the "parents" of this era, raising children is really just a "welfare"? In this era, parents don't need to worry about "education", because "knowledge" will be implanted in the brain during the first brain transformation. And cyber people are indeed better than natural people in every sense......

Yulia also seems to be watching Yuki from the window only at night.

But after thinking about this layer, Xiang Shan felt that this era was even more awkward. In his opinion, Yulia's love for Yuki should be the same as the love that existed in the past era, but ......

Mayor Mare: "Is this weird?" Mountain, where did you come from in the past? How different is that place from ours? ”

Xiang Shan shook his head, and the sounder simulated a bitter laugh: "I don't remember." ”

The mayor sighed: "Anyway, in half a month, the welfare officer will come to this town." However, this year, the tax collector did not collect the full amount of the tax...... The next thing is a matter of luck. It is possible that nothing will happen, or it may ...... We will lose our 'shelter' for a while. ”

After waking up for so long, Xiang Shan probably understood what the so-called "shelter" was.

If we interpret it in old-age terms, "civilization protection" includes "personal and personality rights" and "economic, cultural and social rights" such as "the right to life", "the right to health" and "the right to property" in the past.

Xiang Shan still doesn't know what is ruling the world now, but I think that many other political rights do not exist for everyone. Therefore, it cannot be said that "civilized asylum" is equivalent to "complete human rights".

Those who have lost the protection of civilization have all their rights unprotected.

Anyone can treat in any form those who have lost the shelter of civilization.

And if the asylum losers continue to harm those who have refuge, they become "thugs", and the lord has the obligation to eliminate those thugs.

However, the Dyson principle has never been to say that "to what extent it must be destroyed". In this regard, the discretion of the lord was very large.

Xiang Shan once felt that the so-called "Dyson principle" might be an idiot thing formulated after developing "less management is better management" in the most extreme direction.

"If the lord is in a good mood, a thug may be fine for anything. But maybe just lost shelter and was killed by the lord? ”
