Chapter 413: The Norms of Science

The morning bus was empty except for the driver. A slightly damp smell permeated the empty carriage, bringing a sticky feeling.

But 001 didn't pay much attention to these things. After snapping his fingers and cleaning the two chairs with a subspace operation, he pulled the girl with her eyes shining to sit on the chair, and talked about what she had seen and heard.

Even if it's a big city in the hinterland, the infrastructure doesn't look so good. ’

Sitting on the swaying bus, looking at the slowly regressing images around him, No. 001 sighed slightly, feeling more and more uncertain about his mission.

Of course, the ship's mother will not run inland when she has nothing to do. Unless it's a ship girl with a tourist habit or a little mental problem, no one will leave the sea they know and love, and casually come to the land to visit.

But No. 001 has its own reasons for coming back inland.

She did have an order from the central government, but she was not directly appointed by the Governor's Office, but indirectly by the Pacific Governor's Office.

The difference may be understood by people near the sea, but people in the inland say that it is not a governor's palace anyway? It's been over, it's been over. So she was so easily mixed into the inland.

And with the official appointment of the Pacific Governor's Office, she also came into contact with many official military channels that she couldn't find on weekdays. Although it didn't have much effect in the short term, she wasn't the only one who received the appointment. Many of the shipwives of the logistics group and the scientific research group received orders and began to gradually infiltrate various cities on the earth.

There are three main mission objectives.

The first point is to map out the approximate map of the earth's land and urban transportation, development, resource storage content, etc. If necessary, the location of military bases will also need to be mapped. After all, this world doesn't just exist with ship girls.

The second point is to find the ruins and clues about the ancient space launch site. and recycle and reuse its technology. If it is obtained by humans, then find ways to steal it or exchange information, in short, to maintain the priority of technology and the forward-looking monopoly of ancient technology. This is the most important task.

And the last point is 001's personal mission.

After coming to Double Happiness City, he lurked and prepared to verify the working principle of the nuclear fission power station and rectify it.

This high-level action can only be done by her, the head of the technical department. She was not at ease with the others.

However, due to the very long vacation time of the Admiral, the time limit of this mission is also very long. So after thinking about it, No. 001 decided to observe the general situation of human society as a teacher.

After all, students are a small society. To be able to look at these things as a teacher is naturally to meet the subtle knowledge.

However, just on the way, she felt the atmosphere of the outback.

Decay, old age, silence.

Like an old beast, he watched the world around him vigilantly with his cloudy gaze, allowing his huge body to gradually decay.

The people are insensitive, the government is inefficient, and everything around is as gray as the sky. In contrast, the cities around the coast can really be said to be vibrant.

Although in terms of the degree of development. Inland cities are indeed much better than coastal cities. At least there is no perfect configuration for buses. However, there are many more essential things missing from the inland cities.

For example, dreams, for example, hopes.

None of this is seen in the interior.

Is there any tech or anything like that that you can get here?

Number 001 didn't think it was much of a possibility. Because these cities are close to dying.

"That's a little too broad......"

The girl sitting next to her shook her head in some confusion, indicating that she didn't understand what 001 was saying.

"I think we're okay, huh? Everyone is also doing their best for their own lives, where is it so unbearable as you say? ”

"From your point of view, it may be true, but I have my own opinions on what I have seen and heard along the way."

For the girl's rebuttal. 001 shrugged his shoulders undeniably.

The vitality of a city lies in the people who work and the mental state that is averaged. Only when the overall standard is met, can the city be considered to be vibrant.

And in the inland cities, there are people who seem to be in good spirits. For example, the little girl next to her, but judging from the whole, 001 is very suspicious that the enterprising and scientific research capabilities of these cities are not comparable to her research institute.

These numb people are like dying dogs that have been dragged by their heads, and they can only bark at those who are out of the way, shout at those who try to help them, and go back as if they had won when they left. Completely ignoring the fact that he was already dying.

"It's better to say it. The cities in the interior don't actually have that kind of motivation. There's not a lot of hot-blooded behavior, haven't you noticed? ”

"Huh? But I don't think it's a good thing that there is no crime? ”

"It's not that there is no crime, but that the crime will not choose to call the police. This is the essential difference. ”

"I still don't understand ......"

No. 001 looked at the girl who didn't understand and sighed slightly. The most pessimistic attitude towards the future of these human beings.

The police function has disappeared without a trace, and hope is gone. The masses of the people are insensitive. Live like a pig and a dog in the factory. Even the students don't know anything about it.

If it weren't for the fact that the ruling class still has a bit of brains and knows who is currently in control of the armed forces, I'm afraid that the inland would be not much different from hell on earth. But even now, due to the massive degradation of the transportation environment and production capacity, it is almost like hell.

There are no roaring planes in the sky, and trains on the ground only pass in seven or eight major cities, all decades old. One by one, factories were closed, and all scientific research facilities were mothballed. This crazy behavior even makes 001 feel if these people are going back to the legendary feudal era.

Maybe for those powerful people, the feudal feudal system is better? Without a unified management and monitoring, sooner or later they will be able to live a more degraded life than they are now.

'The Admiral is like an angel by comparison......

Although I don't want to fall in love, but if I want to talk about personality, I'm really the best admiral. This world is indeed like what the Admiral said, and only scientific comparison can produce the best results.

Thinking back to the man who was eating salted fish and drying kelp in Guam at the beginning, No. 001 analyzed and compared the various groups of people he had seen recently, and nodded.

"What's wrong with Miss Ship's Lady? Suddenly nodding? ”

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel like I should take the initiative to fight for something."

Wait a minute.

Looking at the girl with a somewhat curious face, No. 001 took out a phone from the subspace and skillfully pressed the phone number. The sound of waiting to be answered and the roar of the diesel fuel of the bus are mixed together to form a wonderful rhythm.

Looking at the lead-clouded sky and breathing in the humid air, 001 suddenly felt a little better for some reason. And the ringtone in the mobile phone was also answered after ringing three times. A reassuring male voice

"Hello?"

"Is it the Admiral?"

"It's me. What's wrong? 001？ ”

"I like you, please get along with me." (To be continued.) )
