Chapter 119: In the end
The program left by the Eighth Martial God pierced hundreds of thousands of needles into Xiang Shan's biological brain.
These needles are the accumulation of the Black Valley Driller, and are made of special crystals that can maintain extremely strong conductivity at the nanoscale. These needles follow a specific pattern of firing between neurons towards the mountain. The electric field from the isotope battery expels charged particles near the ion channels of the nerve cells in the mountains, driving a "program" to run in the brain.
All the senses of the mountain are covered. He lost his perception of the outside world, but at the same time, the electric currents flowing from the needles rushed between his cranial nerves. There were still "feelings" flowing into his consciousness.
That's a visual signal, it's an auditory signal, it's even a tactile signal, an olfactory signal...... It can be all the signal.
The memories that Xiang Shan already had were forcibly evoked one by one.
"One generation does one generation's thing. As a member of this generation, I will develop new technologies, promote industrial upgrading, and give mankind a few more years of peace. The next generation will do the same. ”
"This is one of our research projects, internally codenamed 'HXD126', an enzyme that 'maybe' can repair the nervous system – a kind of magic for life."
"The state has a project that requires you to participate. Would you like to? ”
"They killed him! They killed him! They ......"
"Aren't you going home? Boss. Today is the lunar Chinese New Year's Eve of the Republic, and I thought you were in a hurry to return to China just to reunite with your family. ”
"Hah! You praise other women in front of me! Dead straight man! Eat Me Cross Blaster! Whew! ”
"It's what it tastes like to win."
"We are the ones who steal the heavenly fire......"
"But I feel like history has turned a new page – our next generation will see the universe in a very different way than we do."
"Mountain...... Mom always hopes that you can live your life happily. ”
"You can't get everybody. People are different after all...... 'righteousness' is also different. Different people will have different 'righteousness'...... Speaking of which, you don't seem to be driving? I'm sleepy. ”
"Let's create a new technology. Combine open access and decentralized production to make something that anyone can use when they get their hands on it. I'm going to call it 'martial arts'. ”
"Hey, boss...... Am I a human being now? ”
The park of the Rama Project, the alleys of Southeast Asia, the hospital and research institute in Beiping, the base in the northern country, and the home......
The soft texture of the barbecue and the spicy taste of the two-pot head......
The speech, the outstretched hand.
All of this came to life in Xiang Shan's consciousness, and then mixed together and began to spin rapidly.
All the sounds, all the images, even the sense of smell, touch, and taste, all turned around, and finally formed an empty hole.
Fall into the cave towards the mountain.
Xiang Shan fell into Xiang Mountain.
Xiang Mountain fell in the midst of the raging waves. It's just an illusion, so this fall won't stop.
He saw the direction in which he had fallen, a bottomless abyss.
And then...... An eerie musical sound sounded.
It sounds a little bit like a piano, but it's not exactly like that. This is a note that is knocked directly between the nerves of Xiang Shan's brain, directly on Xiang Shan's soul. It gradually overshadows the other melodies and becomes the background music in the midst of a storm.
"It starts with one...... All I know...... so unreal......"
If there is no singing.
Xiang Shan felt his soul being struck entirely. Tears...... Maybe it's tears in the hallucination. He was completely crushed by the song.
This is the background music chosen by Xiang Shan for Xiang Shan. Xiang Shan chose to let this music be evoked at this very moment.
"I tried so hard/ And got so far......"
Xiang Shan's own soul is in response to harmony. The song from memory seems to burst out of my chest: "But in the end It doesn't even matter"
Emotions swelled like a breakdown. In the hallucination, emotions turn into actual power, and this madness is carried towards the mountain and continues downward.
In the midst of the fall, Xiang Shan saw an angel-like figure above.
"When you go through the sevenfold loneliness, you can become a true powerhouse, and 'our world' is born from this......" The angel - Xiang Shan said to Xiang Shan? " Go ahead? Break through the loneliness of the sevenfold. ”
- This sentence......
Continue to fall towards the mountain.
He vaguely remembers...... No......
He seemed to understand.
The abyss below was what he had stared at......
It is a bottomless abyss above human nature.
The undead come out of the abyss? Run rampant in the world.
He thought these undead were his worst enemies.
But the abyss is always there.
Exist in the world? Also in his own heart.
The mountain continued to fall, overwhelmed by darkness.
And then? He fell into the sea.
He's swimming. The sun seemed to be poisonous, and you could feel the heat on the top of your head. He swam half a lap in the sea? Then went ashore.
Jing Hongtu is sitting on the shore? I wipe the seawater on oneself with a towel. Although the old man usually wears crutches, he is actually quite healthy, and he even has obvious muscles in his arms.
Jing Hongtu greeted Xiang Shan: "Xiao Xiang, come and rest." ”
Xiang Shan sat under a parasol. Jing Hongtu is standing next to him? Upper body activity: "I heard you had a fight with Professor Foigter?" It's a big deal. ”
Xiang Shan touched his face: "I was punched unilaterally." I didn't fight back. Even if it causes a diplomatic dispute? It's definitely not my responsibility. ”
"Huh. You kid ......" Jing Hongtu smiled: "Why did you provoke that guy?" ”
"Wasn't it because of the information leak before, we were quarantined and reviewed. I was in a group with him. He seemed to be irritable, talking about his research all the time, complaining that the above did not understand the importance of his ideas. He hated the bureaucrats and showed a bit of radical rhetoric. ”
"Huh? And then what? ”
"I just said to him, 'Hey? Brothers. Think about it. Think about it from another angle, maybe in their eyes? We're trying to destroy the world, and they're protecting the world that exists.'" ”
"That's not without reason."
"And then he's mad? Punched me straight away. Everyone else has seen it. ”
Jing Hongtu nodded: "Then this matter is indeed more reasonable for you." You can quite understand the thinking of the 'other part of the people'. ”
Xiang Shan sighed. His expression was a little gloomy.
"What's wrong? Are you still not happy when I praise you? ”
"It's not." Xiang Shan shook his head: "Actually...... Professor Yagmov spoke his opinion like that? I still feel quite enthusiastic in my heart. I'm envious of that kind of flamboyant way of living. I've been reflecting on it for the past two days...... Is it really my problem? I myself am disgusted with bureaucracy......"
"Huh? Not bad. He is also very good at thinking about his own behavior from other angles, and even knows the truth of 'compromising with reality'. ”
Xiang Shan touched his neck: "Teacher Jing, what you said is ...... I don't even know whether to praise me or scold me. ”
"Of course I praised you." Jing Hongtu smiled: "You actually have the quality to become a 'manager'." ”
Xiang Shan's face changed: "After doing it for a long time, you are also a lobbyist in the organization." ”
"Hah, that's so ugly." Jing Hongtu said: "Aren't you happy to be an official for you?" ”
Xiang Shan shook his head: "Not happy." Not really. Even fools can see that if there is such a big thing as an information leak, the position of the head of this research institute is to clean up the mess and even take the blame. The kind of top-level hackers with backdoors everywhere, who dares to say that they will be able to catch it? ”
"Think about the good. Since everyone knows that this is the back of the pot, then in the end, if you really carry the pot, no one will think that it is really your fault. Blame the organization, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it. ”
"Then let those who ask go up." Xiang Shan spread his hands: "Let the country send another person." ”
"Huh." Jing Hongtu shook his head: "Director Wang is definitely not happy." ”
"Director Wang......" Xiang Shan reluctantly remembered the name of the top person in charge of the Republic in the Rama project, "He is not happy?" Why? ”
"People always have a distant relative. The Rama project has now become a big, small, just right thing. Director Wang must not be happy to have a domestic force beyond his control reach out. ”
Xiang Shan frowned: "The Rama project is not his private property either[520]. He can't ignore the interests of the country......"
"Who said that? I didn't say that. Jing Hongtu was very surprised: "Maybe this is the embodiment of his loyalty?" ”
"Huh?"
"Thinking about it another way, the people who can come together into a faction are people who recognize each other. Perhaps in the eyes of this faction, only oneself can be regarded as a 'capable official', and in addition, they are all 'people who have some ability but can't see the overall situation clearly', and may even be 'corrupt officials'. This kind of project must not allow those who are not capable to gild. Either Director Wang will only give power to those he can control, or he will hand it over to those he thinks are capable and responsible. This is how he is loyal to his country. ”
Xiang Shan patted his face: "Borrowing the momentum of the United Nations is also counted?" ”
"Well, in a sense, the collective in the Rama project park can also be regarded as a 'force' in its own right. You don't deal much with the management groups, each of which will do everything in its power to fight for the interests of their country. However, if there were people in their own country who came to share the merits here, they would probably react similarly. ”
Xiang Shan muttered, "That's really an easy-to-understand creature...... Are they a little more public-minded, or a little more selfish? ”
"The so-called 'hearts are separated from the belly', who knows what they really think?" Jing Hongtu shrugged: "What's more, as I just said, the distinction between public and private is not always so clear. ”
Xiang Shan patted his head: "So why me?" Without your explanation, I don't even understand this layer. ”
Jing Hongtu clasped his hands to his chest: "The republic also needs to expand its influence in this project. This time, the head of the research institute has been replaced, and the republic needs a 'person of its own', and on this basis, Director Wang needs a 'person who will not confront him', preferably 'someone who is already in the park'. In addition, the scholars insisted on the selection of a 'scholar' and refused to be managed by layman bureaucrats. ”
"All things considered, you're the right fit."
