Chapter 388: Collector
"Gambling?"
"Or rather, a lack of hope and patience in defiance."
Peony acted as a live broadcaster and a narrator on the other hand, and the cold tone did not match the enthusiastic scene of the million-dollar parade in the "live broadcast camera", but it made Ronan, who couldn't interject and could only listen honestly, felt a great increase in knowledge.
"Forty years after the war, three generations have passed, and the whole society has almost completed the solidification of classes, and the emergence of the social authority system has made this phenomenon more expressive. In some cities where business is not so good, people's hearts become more restless. If there's a chance to get rich overnight, why not? ”
"Because of the restlessness, you want to make aberration the norm?" Bamboo pole raised an eyebrow, "The mass psychology should be more conservative, not so radical...... So, was it being used, right? You should have a corollary or something. ”
Peony slowly turned around and transmitted the scene from a wider area to them, but her voice was consistently clear and unambiguous: "At present, the direct driving force is money. From the point of view of public power, many people don't want to spend any more money. ”
"How?"
"Forty years after the war, all kinds of aberrations in the wilderness continued to occur, but did the nomadic tribes in the wilderness perish? Not really! According to incomplete statistics, the nomadic population has increased for five consecutive years, and the population growth rate is even more than two-thirds of the 88 large metropolitan areas, and there is no significant difference in life expectancy. ”
Zhang Yingying interrupted her: "Hey, the pre-war and post-war generation is far from the peak of natural death. ”
But that's what happened right now! Who cares about what will happen twenty or thirty years from now? Many people feel that distortion is nothing to be afraid of, and the overall situation is not bad. With thousands of nomad tribes and hundreds of millions of people, such a large base acts as guinea pigs and lives in areas with high aberrations for decades. They show no signs of extinction, and they are even thriving, so why should they be regarded as tigers and poisonous snakes, spending trillions of dollars every year to guard against them? ”
“……”
"There are still many people who think that with the advent of the era of aberration and the change of the earth's genetic environment, large-scale genetic contamination is almost inevitable. Large-scale annual spending can only push back this time by a few decades or two at most, one or two generations. If it is destined to be so, what is the point of working hard now? ”
The bamboo pole sighed, and sighed again: "That's an aberration after all!" ”
"In this era, the economy is the eyeball economy, the politics is the eyeball politics, and there is nothing without the eyeballs. For some, the strategy developed in the early post-war period is too old, and it is not in line with the old rules to smash huge social investments into places that everyone has become accustomed to and indifferent. They need to put their money into areas that add value and help them make an impact.
"Confronting aberration, living with it, making it a controllable, usable positive – whether it can be realised or not, is bright enough for politicians to turn votes; For businessmen, it is eye-catching enough to create a whole new field of consumption. In that case, why not?
What's more, whether politicians or businessmen, they are also members of the public, and they also have a corresponding sense of crisis and gambling psychology. Whether it is the world or the burner, this special element, which has not appeared in the past hundreds of thousands of years, is constantly infiltrating the global governance system and gaining an increasingly important position. In the face of all this, how many people can be calm?
"Introducing distortion, at worst, is just a little bit of a doomed trouble, a new balance can be formed under normal circumstances, and ideally it can be effectively controlled and possessed of this power - this kind of gamble with almost no losses, why don't they do it?"
Peony's statement, Ronan basically understood. This set of analysis is indeed very insightful, but does she mean that the current situation is already a surging tide that cannot be reversed?
If that's the conclusion, Ronan doesn't like it very much.
He didn't discriminate against aberrations, but he didn't like the people behind him who controlled everything - though he still didn't know exactly who this person, or the group of people, was.
Ronan also wanted to think about it further, but it was a little beyond his ability, and the level of association analysis of He Yueyin and others should be far beyond him...... So he wanted to hear more discussions, but at this time, the convoy that had already arrived in the live broadcast area suddenly had an unexpected situation that attracted his attention.
There was a slight confusion in the corner of the convoy due to the fainting of a military hero infected with the aberration virus, and under the expression of the dominant aberration, that person's state clearly slipped into the abyss of irreversibility.
In such a state, it was impossible for the military hero to participate in the welcoming ceremony, and the medical vehicle carrying him immediately accelerated, left the convoy, and sped in the other direction.
Ronan's heart moved, and his mind locked on to the medical car.
For a patient who is dying, it is obviously impossible to administer first aid through a layer of isolation gown. Before the idea of re-anchoring could be sent back, the special "coating" formed by the intervention of external neurons reacted, and a new indicator light lit up.
Due to the fact that there are too many related ingredients, the area inside the medical vehicle is even filled with a blazing light.
Sizzle, this change is really unexpected!
It's an amazing effort, the corresponding system pop-ups appear one after another, the theoretical completion of the advanced formula soars upwards with a steady amplitude, and in just a few seconds, the infected's contribution to the formula has surpassed Huang Bingzhen, making the percentile of the relevant values also jump up by two points.
That's it, it corresponds to Huang Bingzhen's side!
Ronan secretly clenched his fist, which was not very moral, after all, one was a dying hero, and the other was a despicable and lustful moth. But in terms of the logic of his field, there is no difference in the nature of the two sides.
That being said, when Ronan's mind swirled around in the hospital van and saw the current situation of that military hero, how could his heart not be touched at all?
In the sterile tent, the tower-like man had been imprisoned, and at this time he was coughing up blood, his throat was making a hoarse leaking sound, and the muscles that were as hard as a rock dried up greatly, and most of the reserve energy of his body was swallowed up by the distortion process.
It was a painful process, the physical stimuli were secondary, the despair of the future, and the distorted illusion of the aberrations itself on the mental plane, enough to cause the pride of humanity's pride of free will to collapse completely.
Ronan was able to ignore or even take the initiative to guide Huang Bingzhen's relevant process, because he felt that the other party's spiritual world was worthless; But now facing this one, he is quite uncomfortable in his heart, and he just wants to cut his mind out.
However, when the idea was about to come out, there was a subtle touch in my heart,
He didn't react to what was going on for a while, his consciousness stagnated for half a second, and at this moment, a corner of the "indicator lights" densely gathered in the medical vehicle went out.
On the medical vehicle, although the patient has taken off the isolation gown, the periphery is still equipped with a sterile tent, which also plays a good role in shielding. In a short period of time, no germs leaked out, and at least a few raw materials included in the advanced formula were enclosed in this area, which was very concentrated.
But at the half second when Ronan's consciousness froze, there were several corresponding "indicator lights" that suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In the virtual brain system, there is no change in the completeness of the "advanced formula" of the medium displayed, and the relevant data only reflect the problem of "yes and no", and there is no requirement for the increase or decrease of the amount.
But the continuous indicator light went out, which was so strange. Is it because germs and raw materials are exposed to the air and do not adapt to the environment and die quickly? But other raw materials of the same kind are obviously still good!
Ronan naturally shifted his consciousness to the area where the "light" was shattered. During this period, similar situations continued to occur. Thanks to this, after a few seconds of patrolling, he narrowed his range again, focusing on the edge of the treatment table, a rescuer.
After a few more seconds, Ronan wanted to say to him, "Hey, your isolation suit is ripping." ”
Yes, the ambulance worker, who had been busy, was not completely sealed in an isolation suit, and part of his skin was exposed to the air through the light and breathable underwear.
When it's all about the chaos, no one notices this kind of detail. Theoretically, its built-in protection system should be reminded, but it is not.
Ronan believes that most of it is because of this voluntary closure.
Irregular manipulation causes the person's exposed underwear to turn into a net, and shake in an environment full of deadly threats, and it is covered with blood and droplets that the infected person coughs up, as well as skin tissue that has been peeled off by rescue, and maybe flying germs and other special compounds.
This man is dying? Apparently not!
For Ronan, this is simply collecting the things that are stained on the "grid" at a speed that can be seen...... No, inhale deeper.
Ronan raised the accuracy of the observation to the highest level, and only faintly found it through the cover of his clothes. It is this person, in the pores of his skin, some "sweat hairs" are strangely indented and poked out, and the longest time can be two or three centimeters out, just like a slender "probe", which is connected with the stain of underwear, and then quickly extracts part of it from the miscellaneous substances, and even refines it, which is absorbed into the body through the hollow pipe of "sweat hair".
In this process, it is almost like another person, hiding under the flesh and bone skin of this medical staff, performing a series of delicate operations.
Or is it a monster?
Whatever it is, they're only interested in the ingredients of the "advanced formula".
At this point, Ronan inevitably thought of Xia Cheng's side, parasitic on the "sarcoma" in Li Yiwei's uterus. One is hidden inside, the other is revealed, and if their functions are combined according to their goals, everything becomes a matter of course – gathering raw materials and storing them.
Special collectors.
