Xinyang Chapter 70. Third-rate knowledge
There are 170,000 to 200,000 registered residents in the Iron and Steel City, and the reason why it is in a large floating range is because the Iron and Steel Code clearly stipulates the iron rule of not supporting useless people. Every Thursday, the incinerator is fully activated to dispose of civilians who are incapacitated and have no one to guarantee them. Ash is an excellent abrasive, and of course, for residents who want to make a greater contribution to their beloved city-state at the end of their lives, the wall construction team is happy to get more art materials.
As the pre-war Confederacy's premier heavy industrial agglomeration, the Great Lakes were hit by the most brutal nuclear explosion on the day of judgment, and the beauty of the northern country was gone, and the people relied on the blood of the underground shelters to rebuild a civilization like a candle in the wind, and did their best to make the fire of racial survival flourish, and the question of what fuel was put into it was secondary. To this day, there are still many areas of high radiation danger in the Great Lakes, and although the Great Lakes Alliance maintains a stable budget for radiation depletion, deadly nuclear radiation is with everyone from birth to death.
The key to the new world is actually held in the palm of each newborn's curled up hand, and it is not difficult to open the door, and it is only after the door that you are eligible to receive the gift. The Glatham Tavern was open twenty-four hours a day, and the cat-eared maid brought gin after gin without the slightest hint of tiredness.
Now that Simon has endorsed the so-called Hydra Reserve Members, Adolfina no longer has any reservations about the origin of the mutants. In her narrative, there are three distinct types of mutant genes. First, if a relatively pure-blooded healthy child who has not suffered from radiation sickness before the age of three has a controlled dose of radiation is given a certain amount of radiation dose, the natural evolutionary chain seems to be loosened in today's environment, and there is a maximum of 50% chance of knocking in the gene target, so as to achieve the desired mutation ability. However, compared to non-pure-blooded children in poor conditions, although they are much safer than their maximum 20% chance of success, they also acquire much less ability. Adolfina is a non-pure-blood mutant, and the red-haired girl sternly rejects Simon's inclination to explore her childhood.
"Zone L, if you're in the mood to go to Zone L, you'll understand." Adolfina was succinct and to the point.
The third is a sanctuary human with Simon's ingestion of a strong stimulant such as "Hydra's Blood" to eliminate the chain genes in the body, and to obtain mutation abilities with special counterparts. Because they were sheltered in a nuclear vault close to the pre-war world, pre-war purebloods possessed both complete immunity and a good tolerance for rejection. But not everyone has this opportunity, Hydra has been committed to the higher evolution of humanity since hundreds of years, and rightfully possesses the unique means of mutation of pure-blooded humans. In this way, the Thirteen Councils, which rule the Iron Army and the Black Wall Army, are the positive and positive sides of the Northern Star, and the unpredictable Hydra is the negative side.
"Pre-war biogeneticists have successfully edited superhumans, but unfortunately, social traits are as stubborn and ignorant as hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution." The crystal ball rolled as Adolfina's forearm flipped over, but it never fell as if it had been glued. "So if the ape keeps looking at the starry sky for a minute, does it count as an interstellar colony?" Simon poked his girlfriend's elbow, "Bang! "The crystal ball hits the ground.
"What do you mean?" Adolfina narrowed her pupils, her fingers interlocked and twisted diagonally, and she creaked, as if she heard the mockery in Simon's words. "Does Hydra have a Historian of Bloodline, are there any other Historians?" Simon digressed the subject.
"Well, in order to assist the Bloodline Historian in finding out the bloodline roots of the Infinite Heads of Hydra, we also have a Modern Historian." Adolfina bared her tiger teeth and touched her fingernails, like a Maine cat, "Why, if you want to say that you are a descendant of a noble dynasty, then you will be disappointed, this kind of inbred is not just paranoid, if you really ensure the purity of the blood for thousands of years, or if you are a mixed blood of the five continents, congratulations, you are the candidate for the next head of Hydra, the High King." ”
"No, I'm not too interested in that." Adolfina's face was so delicate to the touch that it was hard to imagine that this girl often haunted the various trade routes as an explorer, and the dangers of the wild wind and sand. "I just want to ask, do you know how many branches of Christianity there are?"
"Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox." The red-haired girl took a sip of vine tea, and although it was close to dawn, the two of them had no desire to sleep at all.
"Then you shouldn't know about that famous joke." Simon picked up the teapot and filled the teacup, the surface of which was rippling with tan ripples. "Anglican Baptists, 1879 Reformer vs. 1915 Reformer and then kick that guy off a cliff with a boring joke?" Adolfina soaked the honey biscuits, threw them into her mouth, and said disdainfully: "Hydra also has a basic education!" ”
"So I guess you should despise the pre-war religion where humanity built so much self-bondage." Simon answered in the affirmative. "Nonsense, the industrial age proved the vanity of the gods, and the human beings destroyed by guns and steel germs prayed to God's response, and that time succeeded?" Adolfina ate all the biscuits, beckoned the maid to send another plate, and finally touched the maid's cat ears.
The first glimmer of light jumped out of the horizon, and the night passed like this, Simon said flatly: "I am an atheist, however, I do not deny religion either, and I even praise them slightly, because it took apes hundreds of thousands of years to evolve to dominate the earth, humans, in a thousandth of the time, we developed guns and steel, from the treetops to the solar system, and in the year I was born, humans set up their first colony on Mars. Look, if an ape looks at the starry sky for a minute, then it is equivalent to colonizing the galaxy. ”
"What the hell do you want to say, to show off your third-rate knowledge as an Ivy League talent?" Adolfina was impatient.
"I would say that in my opinion, the greatest significance of human religion is to warn oneself about how much power human beings have achieved, and that we are not before the gods, or the laws, so I love going to church, even if I don't believe in God." The fish belly is white, dawn, golden, dazzling, gorgeous. Simon stretched out his hand to Adolfina, and the girl whispered to the maid, "Write it on my account, by the way, open an account for this fool too......" She looked at Simon who could theoretically be her grandfather.
"He'll come more often."
They walked out of the Glatheam tavern arm-in-arm, and the maid yawned and cleaned up the mess, which was not unusual in all the years she had served Hydra, but it was rare for a pure-blood man as handsome as Miss Morfin's boyfriend, so she shook her cat's ears and listened intently to his last conversation before leaving.
"Do you remember the first person you killed?" That's what Mr. Hayes said.
"You speak first." Miss Morfin likes to settle at the end of the month.
"I forgot, you expect a murderous sniper to remember the ghosts of the guns?"
"I don't believe it, you remember it, one hundred percent."
"I can't remember."
