1607 Steelmaking
As the female officer said, the strangeness that appeared this time made people feel helpless when they didn't know the details, but once the mystery was seen through, there was a way to target it. The mystery is mysterious because it is in the moment of the unknown, which is why many mystery experts do not easily cooperate with people in depth. Mystery has a narrow and broad concept, in the face of a broad sense of the concept of mystery, human beings can not come up with too many solutions, the closer to the broad concept of mystery, the stronger the mystery, when there is no observer can observe an unknown object, to solve it can only rely on luck.
However, if you limit the mystery you need to solve to "the unknown situation that surrounds something that can be observed", then you can always find a little sign if you have enough time, whether it is with a scientific attitude or from the worldview of an occult expert. Luckily, just like this time, if someone directly - maybe a female officer, maybe someone else - knows enough about this unknown in the eyes of others, and happens to be among the mysterious experts, and has a person like Takakawa, who happens to have the ability to solve all problems, then the seemingly strange and inexplicable incident will be solved in just five minutes.
No matter who you are, if you want to solve a mysterious event, you must meet six elements: the right time, place, and person, at least two or more accurate observations of the cause, process, and outcome of the event, and your own quality. Whether or not these six elements are met is full of luck. The advantage of an occultist over ordinary people is that their own mysteries are more likely to satisfy several of these six elements. The weakness of science in mysterious events also lies in the fact that when facing the unknown, it emphasizes more traces to follow, and inevitably takes more time. to observe, parse and summarize.
That's right. The generalized concept of mystery is indeed the science that is constantly doing relatively known movements in the infinite unknown, theoretically practicing the known, seeking laws from the known, the mysterious boundary in the infinite unknown that can never be reached, and the outline of the complete mysterious thing cannot be observed. But. In the narrow sense of mystery, a mysterious phenomenon that has been concretely displayed in front of people's eyes and observed by people can theoretically be scientifically analyzed as long as there is enough time.
If it weren't for that, the hospital would not have been able to exist.
Since "virus" cannot be directly observed, it can be regarded as a mystical embodiment in a broad sense. However, the various pathologies caused by the doomsday syndrome caused by it have always been suppressed by the researchers in the hospital. Reasons that cannot be eradicated. If the root cause of the "virus" cannot be solved, even if those diseases are suppressed by targeted drugs for a while, they will mutate in a very short period of time, resulting in the fact that the drugs are only immune in the best case, but in the worst case, they will become the driving force for aggravating the disease.
It is not possible to eradicate the "virus", even if one of the symptoms is solved at one time, or even all the diseases covered by the syndrome are suppressed at the same time. Nor can the patient's life be saved. The rate at which the condition mutates and worsens is always one step faster than the speed of research.
Same as. The pace of the apocalypse cannot be stopped, and no amount of mystery can be solved to prevent the expansion and deterioration of the mystery.
On this new Titanic, if the Doomsday Shinrikyo and the Nazis cannot be eradicated, even if this mysterious incident is solved, it will be impossible to prevent the final fate of this big ship and everyone on board.
Merely. If this mysterious event cannot be resolved, no new mystery will be needed, and it will be enough to cause everyone to suffer heavy losses.
The threat of the mimicry is not in how weird it is, but in the mysterious experts who test the ship. Whether there is a right person who can make the right judgment at the right time and place - this correctness can be a kind of mystery expert or a kind of luck.
The female officer thought so. And Gao Chuan's existence is more like a heart booster, which makes her believe that her people at least have luck.
I can't tell where I got the information about this mimic thing, but Takakawa didn't think about these things, because he knew very well that no one on this ship would tell him every information he knew. He received the solution to the problem from the female officer, and he had the ability to solve the problem, and he personally verified the feasibility of the method, so he went to solve the problem - for Takakawa, the handling of this mysterious incident was as simple as that.
Gao Chuan galloped, every step is accumulating strength for the next step, no matter what the reason for the force, once it is recognized, observed, and actually acted on his body, it will be transformed into the power to accelerate himself. The resistance to the data presented on the retinal screen has become negligible, and although on the surface it seems that the brain and hardware are regulating everything, in fact, "turning all the forces that interfere with itself into driving forces" is no longer explained by the scientific knowledge he knows. To others, this is still not science, Takakawa does not know, but for himself alone, this acceleration ability, called "speed sweep", is a real mystery.
At this moment, the situation that cannot be explained by one's own cognition is mysterious. As for whether he can deduce the secret of this moment in the future, it is meaningless at all, because, at that time, what he needs to face is not the problem of the past, but the unknown generated by the new moment. For the prosthetic Takakawa, the so-called "mystery" is so simple.
There are only three kinds of questions: past, present, and future. The past is gone, so it makes no sense; The future has not yet arrived, so it is meaningless; Only now, you must face, you must bear, you must solve, and in the face of the unknown things in front of you, the past experience is not enough, the future may only be imagined, you can only rely on the quality of the present self, and the seemingly ethereal luck.
Time, for the "now", is always short, and it cannot be solved by the "scientific knowledge" that the stupid self possesses, and no one else shows a correct tendency to completely solve all problems, so he can only become a mysterious expert. I can only rely on myself as a mystical expert.
Takakawa is not alone, because he is not the only one who acts. Takakawa is also lonely, because there is no one who can guide the right path that may exist. Everyone, including Takakawa. It's all imagining, groping, and trying in the fog. Some people fail and never recover, and some people seem to succeed but don't succeed all the time. The advantage of Gao Chuan is that if one Gao Chuan falls, there will be a new Gao Chuan standing up.
Takakawa's bullet. Embedded in the hull one by one, the shock generated by each bullet at the center of the hull makes the hull structure tremble, crack, twist and tilt, as if it will disintegrate at any moment, but it remains in the toughness of the material and the ingenious support structure, and then the twisted parts are combined in a series of seemingly coincidental parts. So that the ship can continue to float on the sea, in a certain direction. Sail at the same speed.
The cracks, the distorted appearance, were like strange and hideous faces, they were like expressions frozen after death, as if they had been poured with materials when the hull of a ship was made. The corpse was not revealed to the public until this time. It was once beautiful, gorgeous, solid, cold, and neat. The cumbersome decorations, all made eerie and scary because of these faces, are full of eerie flavors.
Compared to the cozy atmosphere you felt when you first boarded the ship, the interior of the ship is more like a lair of evil creatures in the novel. Within five minutes, Takakawa had passed through all the walkable passages in the ship, from bow to stern, and back again, standing before the female officer again.
"Solved?" The female officer asked, bringing him coffee - what can you do in five minutes? It's just two cups of coffee.
"Solved this time, but what about next time?" Takakawa retracted the revolver, sat down opposite the female officer, and took a sip of steaming coffee, "According to you, this is just a monster in the first stage of the sacrificial ceremony. According to past experience, its death will only become a nutrient to promote the second stage. You can see when you go out and see, no one dares to say that the situation inside the ship now looks like it has been solved. ”
In fact, even if the female officer only stayed in her room, the change in the room was enough for her to understand what it means to "not be able to solve the problem completely". The walls were full of cracks and twists, as if they were inlaid with hideous faces, and the situation outside the room was not much better. With such an uncomfortable environment, how can it be said to "solve the problem"?
Even if there is a period of calm, it will be temporary.
However, such a change is indeed expected. When it was established that a Doomsday Shinrikyo sacrificial ritual existed on the ship, no occult expert would be surprised by the current changes.
"Every time I encounter a sacrificial ritual, I am very passive." The female officer's voice was as steady as ever, "Many people have tried many methods, but no one or one person has really changed this passive situation - Mr. Takakawa, I don't think anyone on this ship can change this result, so the judgment and choice made under this premise are feasible to regard the situation of 'we will always be in passivity' as an irrevocable factor." ”
"I don't think I can come up with a better solution." "But that doesn't mean I'm going to approve of every decision you make," Takakawa said. Even if you have countless reasons, it's best to justify your decision based on reality. ”
"But it turns out that my solution can solve at least a temporary problem, doesn't it?" The female officer persistently persuaded: "We only need to solve the problem for the time being." ”
"The first stage of the sacrificial ritual is something you catalyzed." Takakawa calmly looked directly at the female officer, "You didn't solve anything, you caused the problem." ”
"I raised the problem in front of the right time, place and audience, so the problem was resolved with minimal damage." The female officer said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Conversely, even if I don't catalyze the sacrificial ritual, the sacrificial ritual will reach the first stage at another time, and if it is resolved at that time, it will most likely result in greater casualties. ”
"If the first stage is triggered in advance, the second, third, and even the final sacrifice will follow." Takakawa asked, "Have you considered the situation of making the battle heat up in advance?" ”
"Of course." The female officer said: "It is necessary to enter the white heat of the battle as soon as possible." Only a white-hot battle can make the Doomsday Shinrikyo and the Nazis more focused and invest more resources. Mr. Takakawa, what we need to do is not to upgrade the game, increase the intensity of the battle little by little as the schedule goes, and then have a white-hot final battle when we finally arrive in Australia. Not at all! ”
The eyes of the female officer and Takakawa looked at each other as if there was a fire burning, and the weirdness and gloom in the room were also filled with a scorching sense of suffocation as if they were about to be ignited by this fire.
"What we're going to do is let the fight continue into Australia." The female officer said: "Whether you fight like escalating or burning, the end result will only be that the ship sinks and many people die." However, it is only by burning and fighting that this plan will get the most desirable result. ”
"I've already said that the plan itself doesn't require us to do this, nor does it say what the best outcome is." Takakawa was not infected by the aggressive, even distorted, fanaticism of the female officer, and still calmly stated his thoughts.
"We should, it is necessary, and we must give full play to our subjective initiative and make our due contribution to this great war that will determine the fate of mankind, and only when we have done this can we say at the time of death that I have devoted my whole life and all my energy to the most precious cause of my life -- the struggle for the survival of mankind." The female officer replied in a sonorous voice, "Mr. Takakawa, this is what I think on behalf of most of the people on board. ”
“…… Yes, you represent the majority. Gao Chuan sighed. Whatever the way it was done, ignoring the process and looking only at the result, what the female officer said was the truth. Just because she used the method of consciousness walking, established a committee of tactical cooperation and self-innovation, and made herself a representative of most of the occult experts on board, to deny her legitimacy? That doesn't make any sense. Even if she could be killed, it would not solve the difficulties that the big ship had to face on its way to Australia. (To be continued.) )
