191 Cultural identity
β¦
The more people who have strong beliefs, the greater the frustration and impact when they encounter something that goes against their own perceptions.
What Matthew saw from Professor Charles's face was the shock and surprise after the belief was impacted, as well as the complex expression of unwillingness, doubt and horror.
"Scott, let's go." Professor Charles's face turned pale, and he let the blood and tears on his face continue to flow, falling on his delicate shirt, and disappearing into front of everyone with the other two.
Matthew didn't know what Professor Charles was going to do when he went back, whether he was going to talk to Magneto or going back to the Mutant Academy to think quietly. Even, Matthew doesn't know what kind of future Professor Charles sees in the long river of time and space, and he can't be sure if Professor Charles can recover from the blow.
After all, they are only a very few lucky people.
"Matthew, do you know that Professor Charles used to be omnipotent in my mind, and today I have discovered that he is aging and suffering." Storm Girl's eyes moistened, and she murmured.
"Tear off all the halos and embellishments, we are just mortals, it is normal for people to have birth, old age, sickness and death, ups and downs." Matthew smiled.
"The world is moving forward, and Charles has stood still for too long for his outdated and backward ideals. He is already behind us, behind the times. β
"The past perception has clouded his eyes, and today's blow may be an opportunity for Charles. I still hope that Charles can keep up with the times, otherwise there will be no opponents and our future will be too lonely. Matthew said regretfully.
Today, the three leaders of the mutant forces, Magneto, Professor X, and the White Queen, were all born between World War I and World War II, and have experienced the baptism of war.
This generation of mutants has a deep sense of insecurity in their hearts, coupled with the mainstream idea of racial independence that was popular in the sixties and seventies on the earth, so they all adopt the method of self-reliance and peaceful autonomy to solve the contradictions between mutants and humans.
The X-Men established by Professor Charles are, by their nature, just an illegal armed force of mutants, a volunteer policeman, who maintains a fragile peace between humans and mutants, seeks peaceful autonomy between mutants and humans, and does not interfere with each other.
However, in the new century, globalization has become the mainstream of the world, and complete integration is the general trend, and the ideals portrayed by the first generation of mutant leaders have become less and less appealing.
This is also the reason why the X-Men series lacked vitality and lifelessness in the middle of the original book, and the second-generation mutants such as Cyclops, Storm, and Phoenix left one after another, or joined the Avengers, or rebuilt the X-Men.
Professor Charles's vain attempt to use the fragile blood ties between mutants to form a mutant racial identity and seek racial independence is undoubtedly a naΓ―ve fantasy like a moon in a mirror in Matthew's view.
The history of the development of human civilization has proved that blood identity only exists in the early stage of human civilization, which is the embryonic stage of civilization.
Just as the ancestor worship in the East sublimated the Taoist gods, the church state of ancient Rome destroyed the Greek-style mixed living of gods and men, and the totemic shamanic culture of the North American Indians was completely defeated in the torrent of human civilization.
A series of histories show that religion or belief is a higher cultural identity than blood, which is the theoretical foundation of the Kewu civilization that Matthew single-handedly laid.
"Daywalkers don't just transform bloodlines, this is just the first step. Everything about a samurai is in energy, which is the only basis for the strength of a samurai. Matthew stood on the deck and said to the new Sunwalker in front of him.
"Also, you need to be re-educated to complete the enlightenment of basic technology and martial arts. After that, you can freely choose your career, or join Six Doors, or join the Academy of Sciences, or join Amazing Industries, or start your own business. New York is full of wealth and opportunity, and it will be the home of the future. β
Matthew turned his head and pointed to the city behind him. It was the afternoon of the day, and the warm sun poured down from the sky, shining the golden light of this glorious city.
"Remember, Kovu is energy! It's evolution! It's the future! The transformation of the bloodline is only the first step, and then you need to improve the power in the bloodline, activate the special abilities of the samurai, and complete the evolution of the essence of your own life! β
For these new bloodlines of the Daywalkers, the Kewu Alliance has high hopes.
In addition to the strategic significance, the most intuitive value of the Giovanni and Asama families evacuated to New York is to provide a large number of human resources and wealth for the C-WU Alliance.
By the time all the Bloodlines have completed the transformation, the number of Daywalkers will exceed the 10,000 mark. Micro-life martial arts will become the largest branch of the Kewu lineage.
Matthew's plan is to transform one generation and train another. Break up the daywalker bloodline and split it into various departments and organizations of the science and martial arts alliance, so that the daywalker can be officially integrated into the science and martial arts alliance and jointly lay the foundation of the science and martial arts civilization.
The Science and Technology Alliance consists of Magical Industry, Academy of Sciences, Six Doors, and the Espionage Department: Bad People and Lijingmen, which is in a period of rapid development and expansion, and the delivery of talents and the supply of wealth are more important.
Fortunately, when Matthew was founded in the Science and Martial Alliance, he resolutely attracted peripheral affiliated forces: the Mutant Academy, the Holy Society and the Green Gang, and obtained New York as a base and a source of talent for the Science and Technology Alliance.
Otherwise, the martial arts geniuses who only rely on the "Light of Science and Technology" plan to be manufactured in batches will be a drop in the bucket, and it will be difficult to meet the growing talent demand of the Science and Technology Alliance.
This group of daywalkers who have taken refuge in the family have sprouted and become the cherished resources that the science and technology alliance dreams of waiting to be fed.
Although through continuous innovation, the Academy of Sciences has mastered the ability to create martial arts geniuses and daywalker bloodlines, and has also improved the combat strength of martial arts cultivation through the Dugu Nine style combat system. It is possible to mass-produce samurai with extremely strong combat ability like an assembly line.
However, professional skills such as espionage, scientific research, and management still require a lot of study time and rigorous training to be cultivated.
On the one hand, the participation of the two ethnic groups provides a large number of free experimental materials for the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences, and also meets the urgent demand for professional and skilled talents of the Science and Military Alliance.
Most of the members of the Giovanni family are entrepreneurs and necromancers, that is, biologists, who have a lot of social wealth and scientific achievements, and the magical industry and the Academy of Sciences have long been looking forward to it.
The Asama are natural assassins of the Bloodline, proficient in a variety of assassination techniques. The supplement of a large number of talents who are proficient in spy warfare skills is just like a send-off in the snow for the spy war Marvel plan of the two major spy organizations, Bad People and Lijingmen.
"Cruel, too cruel!" Knowing that another prominent group of assassins in the killer world, the League of Assassins, had been uprooted, the Assama patriarch was full of booes.
"Then you burned all those cheats and secret methods, right?" Matriarch Giovanni was in a good mood and quipped.
The Academy of Sciences and Fantastic Industries have sent representatives to sign a contract of intent to cooperate or hire with the Giovanni people, expressing considerable sincerity.
Although some of the Giovanni tribe did not have time to evacuate and remained in Europe, the wealth of the Giovanni tribe has declined compared to before. But it is conceivable that the Daywalker will occupy an important position in the promising KWU Alliance.
Moreover, Matthew had already revealed that the Sci-Wu Alliance would send the Daywalker back to Europe to find the plan of the lost clan and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on the enemy, how could Patriarch Giovanni not be happy.
"No, no, no, I'm here to help them carry it forward." The Assama patriarch said with a fluttering eyebrow.
The secret methods and techniques of the League of Assassins that have been passed down for thousands of years are strictly guarded and kept secret in any school and sect. was given by Matthew without reservation, such a broad mind and courage are undoubtedly fascinating.
