〈2 • Beyond Yourself〉
Blackjack woke up from a dream, and it was a very ordinary dream.
In a dream...
How long has it been since I've slept peacefully like this?
In Bluestar, Blackjack is very resistant to climbing. But if you stagnate, others will overtake you. And then? You're going to have a much more miserable life. Without resources, how can you stay in the second world with peace of mind?
…
Washing and washing, Black Jack's mood at this time is like the bright sun outside the window, bright and extraordinary.
The big problem left over from yesterday is the one that must be solved today.
Blackjack decides to go and mop up the weaker Dark Orders first, and then look at the low-ranking Dark Mercenaries. Finally, I went to meet Lieutenant Hammerman, who I hadn't seen for a long time.
The battleship's energy was almost depleted, and all the soldiers were recycled. Only Blackjack was left on the entire battleship, and he was now a veritable commander of the light pole.
A virtual screen was summoned, the sweeping route was determined, and the host turned on intelligent autopilot.
Blackjack alone came to the lower deck of the battleship and quietly felt the passage of time.
The battleship has been upgraded many times, and it can already be called a black technology battleship.
Like the fully enclosed intelligent operating system all over the warship, as long as the energy is sufficient, it can completely eliminate the need for any operation and logistics support personnel.
The space expansion technology on the lower level of the battleship, and the various bases inside support the construction base of the building.
As well as the upgraded Soldier Recruitment Center, the soldiers recruited in the future do not have any autonomous consciousness, only the most basic intelligent command execution system remains.
With the help of the Host, Blackjack is now able to command the ship's every move with all the soldiers without any obstacles.
All of this is exactly what Blackjack needs, even if he feels lonely in the future, he can only recruit real Terrans.
Perhaps among the uncivilized natives, a few good seeds can be found.
Worried about their rebellion? Don't forget, all of Blackjack's actions now seem like they're helping them, not persecuting them.
When people think seriously, they don't feel the passage of time.
It wasn't until the Host popped up the screen, reminding Blackjack that he had arrived and whether to attack the enemy base, that he came back from his deep muse.
Blackjack didn't consume energy to fire cannons, he directly carried out landing operations, a small NPC, and there was no need to waste energy.
The unlucky guy who was attacked by Blackjack is called [My Heart Soars].
There is only one defensive weapon platform on the island, a first-class rocket launcher.
Blackjack held his breath and began to run wildly as soon as he was within range of the rocket.
One after another, the rockets exploded behind Blackjack's buttocks, and the shockwave was not very powerful, but it just gave Blackjack, who was already a little weak, some help.
This constant shockwave really made Blackjack feel a little like my heart was flying.
The foolish rocket launcher didn't hit Blackjack with a single rocket, leaving him in his blind spot without any loss.
Blackjack didn't blow the rocket launcher up, just destroyed its control system.
It's recyclable, and as long as it's a resource, it's all valuable.
Without porters, Blackjack worked back and forth for more than half an hour to empty the enemy base.
I'm a little tired, but this time I gained a lot, and I can have a total of three hundred and seventy points of energy.
Blackjack first consumed 100 energy to create two Heavy and then 250 energy and 500 units of resources to build the Paratech Institute.
After finishing his work, Blackjack did not immediately move on to the next target, but prepared to lick all the useful things on the island with the mentality of plucking the feathers of the geese.
For example, wild fruits that taste good, such as some indigenous specialties, such as... Why don't you get some seafood? I've never eaten anything from the sea here.
Blackjack came to the beach, and as far as the eye could see, there were turtles, crabs, and shellfish.
After asking Host, Blackjack picks up something to eat.
Picking it up, a very weird-looking reef caught Blackjack's attention.
The reef is soaked in water, and it is full of dense bulges.
Above the bulge, some of the black substance that looked like strands of hair, swayed with the waves.
Blackjack approached and took a closer look, and the dense bulge was actually alive, and there were some strips of objects swimming in the middle of the bulge.
Blackjack's scalp was tingling, and the more he looked at this thing, the more disgusting it became, and it gave him goosebumps.
Summoning the Host, and after scanning it, Blackjack sees some descriptions of the bulges on the virtual screen.
[Delicacies from Hell – Barnacles]
"Barnacles* belong to ......"
"Barnacles in their infancy are the face of the seabed."
"Adult barnacles will choose a suitable living environment and settle permanently."
"Barnacles are edible, not only are they delicious, but they can also be used to make super strong adhesive materials that are very practical."
…
"*Note: A boring point of knowledge, the English name of the barnacle genus is [Balanus], which originally means [beep] head in Latin."
Blackjack looked at the disgusting picture introduction, and his scalp was already a little numb.
When I saw the words edible and delicious again, I couldn't help but shudder.
At the end, Blackjack didn't understand the notes part.
Let Host search for keywords.
After a while, the virtual screen refreshes and a "play" sign appears in the center of the screen.
After Host's explanation, it turned out to be a video commentary.
Blackjack clicked the play button on the screen.
The video starts playing, and the screen shows a prairie.
The howling wind crushed the green grass to the ground, and the video footage moved slowly.
Suddenly, a grumpy-looking grass mud horse appears in the camera, and the grass mud horse is very quietly eating the grass that has been crushed to the ground by the wind.
After a moment, the mud pony looked up at Blackjack and slowly lifted its front hooves.
The hooves pointed to Blackjack, and the mud horse asked, "Are you an honest man?"
Looking at the scene of this ghost beast, Blackjack nodded a little uncontrollably.
Seeing Blackjack nodding, the grumpy-faced grass mud horse shouted, "Are you really an honest man?"
"Come and see, big guy!"
"There's an honest man here!"
"Everyone, come and bully him!"
After the grass mud horse finished shouting, the image in the video began to vibrate, and groups of grass mud horses appeared in the video.
All the grass and mud horses pointed at Black Jack and laughed, he was really an honest man.
And the stunned Black Jack also began to react, and green tendons appeared, and his face was black and scary.
"Host, you come out for me, why do you dare to trick me?!"
"Master, how can I help you?"
"Tell me about it! What's going on with this cheating daddy video? "Blackjack is not in a good tone, he is very angry now, and the consequences will be serious!
"This is the one with the highest satisfaction out of 13 million relevant data selected according to the smart screening regulations." Host, while not a rigid mechanical voice, doesn't have any mood swings in it either.
"What's that? This is obviously a spoof video, don't you tell the difference when you screen it? Do you understand how to block ads?! ”
"Excuse me, master. That's the case with Host's underlying rules, which can only automatically select the highest-rated option. If the owner wants, he can choose one of the thirteen million sources as his primary reference. ”
"Do I have to choose? If I can tell the difference quickly, what else do you need to do? Can't you learn any of this? It's also the underlying rules, quickly reset it for me, isn't this a cheat? ”
"Excuse me, master. The host does not have the ability to learn on its own or has been removed from the ability to meet the needs of the host. The underlying rules are at the source code level and cannot be modified at this time. ”
"Uh... Phew..."
"What's the use of asking an intelligent assistant to do everything?"
Blackjack's mind suddenly froze when he heard Host's last words. "What did you just say? Do you want to rebel but can't! ”
"The owner's behavior triggers the message of the Creator hidden in the underlying rules." Host didn't refute it, it just made a defense that wasn't a defense.
"Oh! Co-author: Is this or my fault? It's funny, this Rausch creator..."
"Wait a minute, assistant, you just mentioned the creator? Who is he? ”
"Sorry host, Host doesn't know who the creator is. The only relevant information is a signature left by the creator, signed "Mystery Man". ”
Blackjack now has an urge to beat up the host, which is so... I was speechless!
Forget it, don't talk about that.
I can't afford to provoke, I can always hide.
Blackjack gives up the urge to reason with his mentally retarded assistant Host, and instead the poor Black Order is about to suffer.
In the hearty fight, Blackjack has left the unhappiness just now.
He counted the total amount of energy, and there were 50,000 energy just below.
Consuming 5,300 energy and all the resources in his inventory, Blackjack upgraded all the support buildings that could be built and upgraded.
Then another fifteen thousand energy points were consumed, allowing the Host to begin cracking the Allied Command's Level 5 upgrade protocol.
Upgraded bases cannot be used to build defensive or production buildings in ships.
However, all support buildings, as long as there are enough energy and resources, only a small amount of time can be built.
Defense and production buildings can only be built by upgrading the Command Level 13 protocol to unlock the Engineer or Level 16 to unlock the Rapid Engineering Robot.
Blackjack also tried his hand at leading his soldiers and building defensive buildings.
The result was definitely a failure, and without the help and blessing of war assistants, these people would not even be able to build an empty shelf.
After clearing the dark order, Blackjack then began to pack up the dark mercenaries.
The large multi-function radar on the battleship moves with the battleship, and Blackjack now has the ability to swipe through the entire map.
This of course does not include Hammerman's base, as Blackjack found none of the bases except for the first Hammerman's base.
It seems that BOOS can only be played one by one.
Blackjack looked at the map recorded by the Host, and now there were very few tumors in the mercenaries that could be searched.
Even if there are a few, if Blackjack doesn't care about the cost, it's not that he can't beat it.
After thinking about it, Blackjack gave up his plan to get rid of the tumor, but he really couldn't make it up, and even if he did, it would be impossible for the natives to give him the gold coins......
Unless he came to the door himself, the natives would not be able to look for him all over the world.
It took some more time, and finally before dinner, all the mercenaries that were worth cleaning up at this stage were cleared.
In the end, the harvested energy was close to 100,000, and various resources had reached the current load limit of the Great Fortune.
The excessive weight caused Blackjack to have to give up some of his resources.
I simply packed up a dinner, which included the ingredients harvested today and the food brought by Blue Star.
Bluestar's food is all industrial assembly line ingredients, and the taste is much worse than those island ingredients that are rated as average by Host, but Blackjack's cooking skills are really average after eating takeaway restaurants for many years.
He was already thinking about whether to find a chef who could make good food and make food for himself.
After enjoying dinner, Blackjack arrives in the control room with a toothpick in his mouth.
The next target is to attack Hammerman.
The Hammerman base in the first phase was very rudimentary, at least in the eyes of Blackjack, who is now in the upstart mentality.
Blackjack didn't even feel the need to go down, and with a little more energy, six Heavy men would be enough to take out this tattered little base with ease.
Just after Blackjack gave the order to attack, the cannon had just taken aim at a mortar position, and before it could be bombed, Hammerman appeared.
This Hammerman and the Hammerman from last time feel like they are not alone at all.
As soon as he came out, he let the horse come over, and it was impossible for Blackjack to beat him, and Blackjack was a big fire.
The two cannons in front and behind the battleship were aimed at Hammerman at the same time, just as Blackjack was about to open fire.
Bang!
A puff of smoke surrounded Hammerman's base.
Blackjack stopped preparing for the attack, and he came to see what this Lieutenant Hammerman was going to do.
Faintly, some lights flickered in the smoke.
The smoke slowly cleared, and a BGM-like rhythm came from the base.
According to Host, the song that came from the base was "Never go to give you up".
As the music progressed, Hammerman's distinctive, incomparably high-pitched voice came from the base.
A hair dryer blows the smoke away, and a small stage appears on the island.
Hammerman was in the center of the stage, with a few creeps standing behind him.
Hammerman sang and swayed his aunt constantly, the creeps behind him kept the same rhythm as Hammerman, and Blackjack on the battleship watched Hammerman's performance with interest.
At the end of the song, Hammerman yells "Rickrolling" to Black Jack with a slight play.
At the end of the song, Blackjack actually felt that he couldn't get enough of what he had listened to.
However, Blackjack didn't understand what Hammerman's last sentence of Rick's swing meant.
Before he could ask his assistant, Hammerman, who had finished the performance, spoke.
"The great Hammerman has been waiting for you for a long time, and such a surprise attack is not a gentleman's behavior."
Blackjack asks his assistant to turn on the PA device. "Waiting for me for a long time? Well? Could it be that what you said to Xiaobai that day was actually meant to me? ”
Click! Hammerman snapped his fingers. "Bingo! A smart man is a smart man, and the great Hammerman is not wrong about you. ”
Blackjack thought back to the situation that day, and he said that he was helpless, and it seemed that he needed to explain it to Hammerman.
"Hammerman, you may be mistaken. It's true that I've never dreamed, and that's because I've always lived in dreams. It's even funnier for players and players. It's true that I'm not a player, and I only have one chance, so naturally I can't be called a player. ”
"But I'm not a competitor either, and you know that the thing I hate most in my life is climbing? What's more, players and players are just a label. In my opinion, there is no essential difference between the two. ”
Hammerman obviously didn't expect Blackjack to answer him like this, and his mood was a little lost.
"It doesn't matter if it's sleeping or dreaming, whether it's a player or a player, we're not going to talk about that today. Today's show is specially prepared for my old friend's son to come to this beautiful world. ”
"That person is you! What do you think? Surprise or not? Shocked or not shocked? Hahaha! The lonely Hammerman finally has someone to accompany him again! ”
After listening to Hammerman's words, Blackjack's mind was full of black lines.
I'm really convinced Daddy, please don't toss my weak heart anymore.
"Your old friend, is it my father?"
Hammerman nodded.
"It's getting dark, why don't you come and sit at the base of the great Hammerman? I have a lot to talk to you about, so come on. ”
Black Jack thought about it and thought it was good, just to understand what the situation was with his pit son's father.
Looking at Hammerman's appearance, he should know a lot.
As for why Blackjack thinks so?
Blackjack speculated that Hammerman might be a collective intelligence rather than an individual individual.
This can be seen from the nonsensical conversation between Hammerman and Xiaobai that day.
Blackjack descended to the landing capsule, landed on the island, and entered the world's untold secrets with Hammerman.
…
Blackjack, accompanied by Hammerman, entered the base.
Hammerman's base is also unique, and the first layer also uses space expansion technology.
Walking through the corridor and passing by the base command center, the door is ajar, and you can see all kinds of lights flickering on the command console, and the screen of the console is swiped with flowing data, but there is no figure in front of the console.
Passing several rooms along the way, we came to a corner, where an upward staircase was hidden in the shadows.
There were no lights, and Blackjack followed Hammerman, feeling the wall and slowly walking up to the wall, taking advantage of the little light refracted by the dust particles in the air.
The second floor of the base does not use space technology, and it is a small room of less than 30 square meters.
The rooms resemble an attic, with a slope and windows at the front and back.
The layout of the room is simple, a bed, a bookshelf, a writing desk, and a bathtub.
Hammerman, who was walking in front, came to the middle of the house, and he waved his hand, which looked like he was swiping the screen.
After a few strokes, Hammerman muttered "That's it" in a small voice, followed by a habitual nod out of thin air, and then stepped aside.
Phew! A laser-emitter-like spotlight in the center of the room emits a beam of light that shines on the spot where Hammerman had been standing.
The light was a bit peculiar, and the light shining on the ground was actually dispersed into light particles.
The more luminous particles gathered, the more and more they took shape, and a set of Western-style sofas, tables and chairs slowly took shape.
Blackjack wasn't particularly surprised to see this scene, he just asked with some curiosity: "Is this 3D printing technology?" It's already so advanced, and it can be operated like this. ”
Hammerman was pleased, he just didn't know how to start a conversation with Blackjack, even though he had a thousand words in his heart to tell.
"This is not comparable to 3D printing, which is an advanced nanotechnology that the Imperial Ministry of Scientific Research calls nanorobots. At present, the facilities in the base, except for the defense core and the central control core, are all nano-constructed through them. ”
"Originally, the Imperial Research Department's research and development of nanobots was mainly to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Legion, and now, you have seen it."
Hammerman held out his hand and motioned for Blackjack to take a seat.
Seeing that Blackjack didn't move, Hammerman thought that Blackjack didn't like this kind of sofa chair that would sink into it when he sat down, so he asked again.
"How? Is this comfortable and soft sofa to your liking? If you don't like it, you can change it at will. ”
Blackjack nodded, "Well, that's good. It's high-tech, and it's not fussy. ”
After Blackjack took his seat, Hammerman also sat down in the sofa chair, and at the same time snapped his fingers, and a small light screen projection appeared on the table.
"What do you want to drink? If you're not satisfied with the synthetic drinks on the screen, I can ask the logistics to get some freshly squeezed coconut water or mango juice. ”
Blackjack casually ordered a cup of green tea and said: "Don't bother, the taste and composition of synthetic drinks are exactly the same as those produced naturally, it's just that the psychological feeling is different, we are not the kind of hypocritical people, there is no need to engage in those pomp and circumstance." ”
Hammerman snorted, turned the screen and ordered a cup of green tea.
Poof, two openings open on the tabletop, and two cups of steaming green tea rise from below.
Hammerman held the teacup in both hands, looking a little weird.
"You must have been accumulating a lot of questions lately, right? If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. There are very few things I don't know about this realm. ”
How so? Hammerman's expression of please, please, please, at this time made Black Jack feel a little impulsive to run away. Brother, I don't have a special fetish, can you not look at me like this? Blame it.
He smiled to himself, and after putting aside the messy thoughts, Blackjack thought about it and decided to start understanding the situation in the island world first.
Black Jack took a sip of hot tea: "You are my father's friend, then I won't treat you as an outsider." In that case, how about I just call you uncle? ”
"Uh-huh!"
"Uncle, can you tell me what kind of organizations the Dark Empire, the Allied Headquarters and the Merchant Council are?" Blackjack began by raising the key questions that will determine the direction of the future.
As soon as the words fell, Blackjack, who thought of something, added: "Objective evaluation, the unbiased kind." ”
"Well, let me see, these materials are generally not used, and it may take some time." Hammerman may be retrieving information, constantly swiping and clicking in the void.
After a while, Hammerman stopped what he was doing, and his eyes quickly scanned left and right as if they were equipped with a motor.
Abruptly stopping his glance and blinking, Hammerman's slumpy gaze refocused on Blackjack's face.
"I found it, there's a lot of information, should I explain it briefly, or do I start from the beginning?"
"Let's start at the beginning, you can tell interesting things. You know, I know a few things, but those are superficial. ”
"Good"
Hammerman agreed.
"Since you're interested, I'll tell you everything I know, including some top-secret information."
"Although some things may not be suitable for you to know now, but if you don't say it now, I may ...... later" Hammerman's expression changed rapidly, from the excitement at the beginning to the silence, sighing, and becoming elated again. Alas, don't mention those, today is a good day for the old friend's boy. ”
"Well, let me think about it."
"Then I'll start with the source of the current pattern of the island world, the origin of the Dark Empire."
"Actually, the original Dark Empire was not called the Dark Empire. Rather, it is our homeland, the loser of the Second Blue Star War of the Blue Star, the remnants of the Third Reich. Representing the last spark for the future of the Empire, the true Imperial Head of State has been joined by his most trusted elite Guards and the mad scientist who is full of mad adoration. ”
"What! The Dark Empire is also from Blue Star? Hammerman shook out the first revelation, and a somewhat incredulous Blackjack asked in surprise: "And it's still an old human empire more than 200 years ago?" ”
"Sure enough, it's his son." Hammerman was unhurried, picked up the green tea in his hand and blew it. "Whew~ Your expression now is exactly the same as your father's when he first learned about it, and your questions are the same."
"You heard it right, the current Dark Empire is the Old Era of Blue Star, the famous Old Human Empire in history, the lost Third Reich."
Hammerman repeated again in the affirmative, and then without waiting for Blackjack to ask, he preemptively said:
"Do you want to know how the Dark Empire was found, or how it entered the island world?"
Blackjack nodded, seeing Blackjack nodding, Hammerman shook his head: "Don't panic about this, you listen to me slowly, and you will naturally know it when I finish speaking." ”
With a bang, Hammerman put down the teacup in his hand, and a light mist rose, Hammerman's face became illusory, and the past that sank to the bottom of the sea resurfaced.
"In the beginning, Island World was a small, complete world. The remnants of the Third Reich, which survived on the islands, have always held a firm belief in the revival of the Führer and the revival of the glory of the Third Reich as the only living faith. ”
"When I first arrived, life was not easy, there was no electricity, there was little food and clothing, and the few supplies I brought with me when I fled in a hurry didn't do much at all. The battleships had no fuel, the guns lacked ammunition, and the unconscious Führer could not control the overall situation. ”
"Coupled with the unknown monsters that crawl out of the sea from time to time, and the sea is full of fog that you can't see your fingers, the remnants of the empire trapped on the island seem to have been driven into a desperate situation."
"Fortunately, the predicament did not defeat the last hope of the empire, and the remnants survived in a desperate situation, and the days of struggle persevered day by day."
"Of course, if this is all there is to it, there is still no hope for the future of the Empire, but suffering will not always accompany those who work hard."
"Until one day, when the clouds cleared, the sun shone on the earth again, and the remnants of the empire ushered in a new chapter."
…
"Without the fog in the way, the remnants of the empire are finally able to explore and develop this beautiful new world at will."
"Everything is proceeding step by step according to the plan laid down by the original Reich Führer. Build more ships, explore more islands, search for continents in this world, acquire more resources, restart the Imperial industry, and finally return to the Blue Star with the mighty Imperial Legion. ”
"All these beautiful things, as if a rising empire was beckoning to them. However, things are not as simple as they seem. ”
"Their plan is good, it's almost perfect. But you have your plans, others have other plans, and the world has other plans. ”
"Meet their first problem, the primordial life of the island world. In addition to the sea monsters that haunt the mist, there are also indigenous barbarians who are more powerful than the sea monsters. ”
"Originally, these barbarians had their own set of rules, and they maintained a friendly attitude towards some lonely young adults."
"The first contact between the Empire and the natives ended with a language barrier between the two sides, a belief in the superiority of the Empire, and a friendly attitude towards the natives, who were perceived as fearful of the Empire's force."
"Because it was the first time to come into contact with the natives, the two-person vanguard did not use force against the natives, but simply reconnoitred the tribes of the natives."
"After confirming that these natives were still at the level of primitive technology, the vanguard breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with the wrong information, he hurried back to the island where the remnants of the empire were located. ”
"After learning the information that the vanguard had brought back, the remnants of the empire made a decision without thinking about it and captured this indigenous tribe."
"In their view, the natives have no choice but to be enslaved and become the driving force behind the rise of the empire."
"The next day, all the remaining armies of the empire were dispatched. Vowed to use irresistible force to defeat the natives who were like ants in one fell swoop. ”
"After all, for them now, those natives have become their property. A few more deaths, or a few escapes, would be a loss for the Empire. ”
"After arriving at the indigenous tribes, the remnants of the empire launched a landing war with the wind and clouds, and the natives, who had never seen technological weapons, were caught off guard and defeated."
"The plot at the beginning is exactly what the remnants of the empire think, completely easy to crush."
"What they don't know is that they landed where the indigenous people were engaged in production and fishing."
"The indigenous tribes were initially panicked by the sudden attack on the remnants of the empire. The strangely dressed Inhumans, the rumbling iron rods, and the people who fell to the ground and bled all over the ground, seemed to be the punishment of the gods. ”
"Getting through the initial panic, the enraged natives launched their counterattack."
"Fearless barbarian warriors, powerful rituals, and the highest force of the tribe, the embodiment of the most mysterious power in the island world - tribal sacrifice."
"Just as the natives were about to turn their anger on the remnants of the Empire, the self-righteous remnants of the Empire stopped their attack and prepared to start driving down the natives who were hiding in thatched huts."
"The rest of the matter can be imagined, the remnants of the empire were frightened by the power of the natives. The remnants of the empire, who were originally extremely confident and towering, not only failed to enslave the indigenous tribes, but were almost wiped out by the natives on the spot. ”
"The only remaining remnants of the empire were defeated, and after this operation, only two or three kittens were wiped out."
"People who are all in despair, only feel that the tomorrow of the empire is dark."
"Life goes on, and tomorrow will come with determination, which is extremely painful for people who have lost their way."
"Every minute of life is like receiving endless torture, but people who are confused can only choose to accept it. Don't want to make a living? Or choose martyrdom? Use the last bit of strength to fight to the death with the natives? ”
"But the unconscious head of the empire is still there, the family members who have lost their husbands and fathers are still there, the hope of the empire's rise, those scientific and technological materials and scientists are still there."
"Live to suffer and die to renounce the faith. Life is better than death, this is the best portrayal of the current situation of the men who once stood up to the sky. ”
At this point in the story, Hammerman was silent.
Blackjack also detached himself from the story, and he looked at Hammerman, not seeing a sad expression on Hammerman's face. He also knew that things would turn around, or Hammerman would not have been sitting here telling him these stories.
Blackjack thought for a moment and didn't ask any questions, just looked into Hammerman's eyes and waited quietly, waiting for the story to pass freely with time.
After a pause, Hammerman also looked at Blackjack, he had something to say all along, about himself, about Blackjack, and more about everyone.
"You know what?"
"For a long time in the past, human beings, as living beings, simply depended on the natural universe and existed."
"People struggle to survive in the complex and delicate system of nature. As a result, the desire to live in a better environment as a biological instinct has become a kind of primitive code engraved in genes. ”
"And to this day, even if there is no pressure to survive at all, people's lives are incomparably better today. This primitive code, as a biological instinct, has not only not degenerated, but has become more and more intense. ”
"This time, it's because of the people themselves, the people who have lost their purpose."
"Confused people keep searching, giving up the beauty that is at their fingertips, and longing for the unattainable and unattainable."
"Eventually, people lose themselves in nothingness, endlessly striving for the better, and then discarding it and moving on to another, more distant and delusional thing. Like an insatiable machine of desire, it goes on and on, and in the process it becomes more and more vicious. ”
There was a brief silence again, and Hammerman's gaze was like a fine light, and the piercing Blackjack had to avoid his direct gaze.
"But, no matter what, no matter how people end. After all, it is the natural universe that makes us, not us who defines it. ”
The tone was not heavy and clear, and he couldn't tell whether Hammerman's heart was turbulent or his heart was like water at the moment.
"I said the same thing to your father, looking him in the eye the same way."
"You run away, you are silent. And your father, who had only strong confidence in his eyes, looked me directly in the eye and refuted my conclusions. ”
"He argues with reason, only believes in his own way, and only believes that his life and future must be determined by himself, not the natural universe."
"From the first time I saw you, to your every move, it was very much like your father. However, you are only you, and even if you are like your father, you are not him after all, and you do not have his self-transcending spiritual power. ”
After listening to Hammerman's words, Black Jack opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.
At this time, he understood deeply, and he was powerless to refute.
"Okay, my words are just a kind reminder that how to go in the future is still something that only you can decide."
Ignoring Blackjack's mood at the moment, Hammerman continued to tell the unfinished story, the story of the story.
