Chapter 106: Youngening (5)
The buzz in the hallway, which Warman was not used to at first, was also vigilant. He was surprised by his www.biquge.info feelings, as if what was in front of him was familiar, but he was sure that he hadn't been here. The certainty that this is where Korors' base is located is not high, because if it is Korors' base, how can Korors and his assistants be unresponsive to the intrusion of many people? The black monster behind him made a gurgling sound with a buzzing sound, and then actually made a standard colloquial voice, a slightly low man's voice. It sounds weird, but what is said is well understood. The black monster demanded that Warman follow it, as if it were its master. Warman hesitated, and the black monster waited silently. Warman got up and stepped forward, and the black monster quickly moved in front of Warman and began to lead the way. This time, the monster took Warman in the opposite direction. On the smooth walls around them, there were many symbols that appeared at first, and the free arrows that Warman could read indicated directions, but he didn't know what the symbols that looked like children's graffiti meant.
Reaching a place in the hallway, the monster paused, waiting for Warman for a moment. By the time Warman arrived, a tall rectangular silhouette appeared on the hallway wall. Warman recognized that this was the same location where everyone had entered the base not long ago, but when they first entered, they didn't even see that there was such a hidden silhouette on the wall opposite the entrance. The monster called out Warman's name accurately, beckoning him into the open silhouette, which turned out to be a door, and behind it was a small space, which could probably only accommodate a few people of Warman's size. The door began to shake slightly as it closed, and Warman felt as if it was falling, and he couldn't help but help but help the smooth wall. The monster's voice is soft, and Warman is not nervous. Warman couldn't tell the time until the small space began to stop shaking. The door opened, and the long hallway was still facing it.
Walking down the hallway, Warman began to lose his way a little. Warman thought that if they had entered the building at the top, Warman would have been at the bottom of the building after the fall. Of course, in the strange building at the bottom of the sea, the direction itself has lost its meaning, and Warman is taken to a room, where the monster motions for him to lie down on a smooth platform. Looking at the table, the monster that was fixed on the platform appeared in Warman's mind, thinking that the monster would communicate with Warman softly, and it would not be unfavorable to Warman. The monster saw Warman's hesitation and calmly told him to perform the necessary physiological tests on his body. Warman lay down obediently, and was slowly sent into the arc-shaped half-barrel space, a few in and a few in and a few out. Except for a few slight tingles, Warman felt nothing out of the ordinary, and the examination was over. The monster tells Warman that it is the external execution terminal of the captain and first mate's central computer during their slumber. Warman couldn't understand the monster's mystical words, but through its gentle communication, Warman relaxed and began to communicate with the monster.
After Korors and Endals went into sleep, the huge base at the bottom of Vandel actually went into hibernation mode. During the dormant period, the base only kept the basic power plant running at half capacity, and the central computer only maintained the basic functions of the base, so the base has ceased full contact with Curris on the continent of Emerik. Warman understood, it turned out that this was the base he was looking for, the same place where they had been brought to stay last time, but they didn't know as much last time as they did this time. The monster told Warman that many of the base's systems come from the user's genetic signals, which means that if a group of people caught in the vortex do not have someone genetically similar to Korors, they will not be able to open the emergency passage at the top of the base, and they will not be able to escape the fate of being buried at the bottom of Wantel. And the reason why the monster did not attack Warman was precisely because he detected the special genes that Warman possessed. Warman asked, what genes are, and the monster thought for a long time, saying that it was probably similar to the meaning of the word bloodline in the Breasian language. Warman laughs at himself for not knowing where he came from, and that his parents are just his adoptive parents.
Warman knew from the monster that through the examination just now, in fact, some of the genetic signals on his body have been activated, and he can use them smoothly and survive in the base. The monster also told Warman that Curris, far away on the continent of Emeryk, had been informed by a specific wireless program before Korors fell asleep. Curris is perfectly capable of following the various scenarios that have been evaluated by the central computer for many of the tasks he faces, such as setting up an adversarial model and drawing up a management architecture model. After following the monster to the central control room, Warman was shocked by the scene in front of him. The giant mirror-like screen had various moving numbers in different parts, some showing various human activities that Warman couldn't understand. After the monster took him on a tour, he offered to balance various important physiological indicators for Warman. Warman didn't know what the monster was up to, so he had to follow behind.
A few days later, when the people who had sailed with Warman gradually woke up, they were already in front of everyone at calm sea level, the whirlpool was gone, and the wrecked ships showed that many people's memories were real: that there was indeed a disaster. But everyone's memory is limited to that, from what happened after seeing the whirlpool, no one remembers it. Of course, it is not accurate to say that, Mr. Warman, who was lying on the broken ship and was also dressed in salt, remembered everything that happened, but he could not say it. He, like everyone else, said that his escape from death this time depended on God's salvation. The wandering on the sea was unbearable, there was no thing and no fresh water, but fortunately the slight rain solved the big trouble, and Warman and they wandered on the sea every day, hoping to meet a passing ship, or a small island. Speaking of the island, Warman remembered the mirror-like thing that the monster had shown him when he was at the base, and there was a picture on it that looked like the island. There are trees, people, and waves coming and going on the island, and it looks beautiful.
The owner who received Mei Yi was burly and well-dressed, and seemed to be a person of great status, giving people a sense of not being angry and arrogant. His attitude towards Mei Yi revealed majesty in his enthusiasm. The owner claimed that his surname was Yi, and he was the owner of this manor, and out of admiration for the new parents of Hezhou, he invited Mei Yi here. Mei Yi knew that this was just the master's general words, and he couldn't be trusted. He had long noticed what the tall, semi-prone thing behind his master was, a stout body, an upright upper body, a snake-like head, a snow-white body, and powerful forelimbs that were half-open and half-gripped. The statue was located on a dark platform, and there was a sign standing on the detailed case in front of the platform, four strange words, through the flickering candle that had just been lit, Mei Yi could see that it was vaguely the lord of Xiyi. Mei Yi gave up the courtesy, although in the Ming Dynasty, Mei Yigui is an official of the imperial court, and his grade is very high, no matter what, Mei Yi does not need to return the courtesy, but Mei Yi knows that the other party is in the Xiyi Group, and I am afraid that the status is extremely high, so it is better to be polite. The master retreated left and right and invited Mei Yi into the cave behind the statue, and the master still followed. It seems that this master, Mei Yi will look at it differently in the future, the thin master with a goatee squinted and followed behind Mei Yi, with a very deep and leisurely posture of the city.
Entering this group, the more Mei Yi knew, the more he found that he didn't know. University scholars are pawns of the Xiyi Group, and Mei Yi is no exception. For the group, the position of the pawn determines whether it needs to be given the opportunity to move forward. For example, when the position of a scholar determines that he cannot go further, being abandoned becomes the most likely fate. It is easy to say that this is exactly what it means, all the people in all positions, the meaning of existence, is just to maintain a kind of control. Invisible control is the highest level that Xiyi pursues, and in order to achieve continuous control, Xiyi can sacrifice any one member. Mei Yi thinks that he will also be sacrificed one day. Yi seemed to see through Mei Yi's thoughts, and stroked the armrest of the seat with his hand and said, You and I are like this. Yi listed a number of deceased celebrities to Mei Yi, saying that these people have the shadow of Xiyi behind them. Mei Yi looked at his body, the other party was a little dumbfounded, and said I know your incomprehension, the so-called shadow of Xiyi is just the blood of Xiyi flowing on his body, and his body is strange from time to time, but it is not enough to change back to the appearance of the lord of Xiyi. Only a few people can become like that, so is easy to say. Mei Yi bluntly said that he had changed back, and so did his father. Yi began to become stunned, and when he saw the master nodding yes, Yi bowed his hand several times.
It turns out that the people of Xiyi have different bloodlines, all because the descendants of the ancestors are scattered all over the place, and the mutations have their own characteristics, some of them are relatively intact, and some of them have intermarried with ordinary people through generations, and the bloodlines have been weakened, so naturally there will no longer be the kind of mutation of the ancestors. And the secret tradition of Xiyi is that members with pure blood are higher in rank than ordinary members. The master interjected, this Master Ke is the descendant of the Ke family who emigrated overseas many years ago. Mr. Yi was even more respectful, saying that the Ke family, known as the economic champion of the South China Sea, was the Ke family? Mei Yi really didn't expect that the ancestors who were not obvious, including his father, had a very high status in the hometown of China and within Xiyi, but why did he have to avoid trouble overseas back then, his incomprehension attracted the long memories of Mr. Yi and his master.
The disaster came suddenly, and the Xiyi Group had no better countermeasures at first. At a time when the nomadic tribes of the north were constantly invading the hinterland of China, the former regime was in jeopardy. The descendants of the Xiyi, who already held great power in the nomadic clan, successfully absorbed some of the descendants of the Chinese Xiyi who were in the court at that time and formed a secret gang, which was responsible for creating panic in various places and cooperating with the nomadic clan to enter the Central Plains. A large number of nomadic clans, the brave Xiyi Qingzhuang, began a secret operation to massacre the Chinese Xiyi clan, including the Ke family. In the final analysis, this is a battle between different branches within the Xiyi group. In a panic, the Chinese Xiyi main faction could only use the developed imperial court post station system to issue orders to their members, asking them to avoid trouble by themselves. In this way, Mei Yi's father Ruixi avoided an accident overseas. The master's understanding of Mei Yi is beyond Mei Yi's own imagination, and the master even knows that Mei Yi is from the small island overseas. The master sighed, it turned out that he was also a member of the big family back then, and now the family is in decline, but then Xiyi's huge system, after the family migrated, began to train their children to learn to be masters, which is also a means for Xiyi to control the power of the world. It seems to be out of control, but in fact it is free. There are big things, there are also things that don't do, and small is the second.
Mei Yi's transfer, according to Mr. Yi, is actually a secret mission. As the nomadic clan's grip on China gradually stabilized, the Chinese Xiyi also began to stabilize their panicked position, and began to gradually infiltrate the new imperial court, successfully transforming the nomadic Xiyi forces whose overall strength was already weak. As a secret group that controlled the power of the past dynasties, it grasped the decline of each dynasty very accurately, and never hesitated to abandon which dynasty, for Xiyi, which dynasty was just its surface, and what Xiyi wanted was the control behind it. This time Xiyi's secret operation, Mei Yi was transferred to Hezhou, ostensibly to supervise the people, but in fact it was not, the real mission was to push the bandits in Hezhou to a high level, causing continuous and effective containment and consumption to the dynasty. Mr. Yi held the tea bowl and praised Mei Yi's excellent performance in maritime affairs, and some people were not accustomed to expressing his so-called admiration for Mei Yi.
After the usual feast, Mei Yi was carried back to the city along the mountain road by his subordinates again. And the master once again returned to the humble state that he had before he left the city, which made Mei Yi feel that the gate of Xiyi was as deep as the sea. For the imperial court, it is categorically impossible not to deal with the bandits, and Xiyi's secret mission is also the first thing Mei Yi has to consider. Mei Yi felt that this was an extreme problem, and after thinking about it alone for a long time, he still couldn't have any good plan, so he had to call his master to discuss. The master seems to have a good idea of this problem, and once he starts, he will talk about it eloquently, and his advice to Mei Yi is to suppress it without destroying it, and destroying it in the dark. Mei Yi secretly thought in his heart that the characters cultivated by the Xiyi Group were either famous or unknown, and they should not be underestimated. Let's just say that this master is smooth and smooth, old enough, his heart is also fine, and his courage is fat. He gave Mei Yi a suggestion, and after a little thought, Mei Yi summoned the local president to bring a cadre and others to discuss the matter of curbing the bandits.
Hawkins was under a lot of pressure to spend a lot of energy on developing his country's new industries and promoting technological innovation, and on the other hand, news of the huge overseas military failures poured into his desk. Calls for Hawkins' resignation began to emerge in Parliament, and from sporadic appearances to a concentrated concentration of nearly half of the lawmakers began to demand the prime minister's resignation, Hawkins felt that a lot of effort was needed to relieve the pressure. At a critical moment, the queen used her authority to convene an informal assembly of parliament, and with all the members of parliament present, she gave a speech in full support for Prime Minister Hawkins. The speech was a success, and many MPs generously expressed their support for the Prime Minister's domestic and foreign policies after the speech. And the pastor Wells, who was specially invited, gave the relaxed prime minister a sign of victory in the corner. Hawkins knows exactly what that means.
When the pressure on Parliament was relieved by the Queen's speech, the newspapers of the Empire of Bristles began to take over, and many important newspapers began to publish articles by economists from the Royal Society of Science. Without exception, these essays advocate a moderate amount of power over overseas territories, while spending the power of empire primarily on the development of their own economies. Some articles even assert that the future world is a world of business warfare. In the future, the global hegemon will first and foremost be an economic hegemon, and military hegemony will only be the most superficial skin and means. Hawkins has received full support and is more confident in developing the domestic industry. News from Frans and other countries makes him often happy, and as a member of the secret group, making more contributions to the group means that he will be more valued. Although Wells told him that for the group, use is a process, and there is a beginning and an end. The power held by any member of the group is only for the service of the group, and never belongs to any member himself. Hawkins still thinks he's going to be an important person in the group, rather than someone who has to take advice from people like Wells every day. He sorted through the war reports on his desk, and one of them was a comment sent back by a reporter who accompanied the army, and at the end of the comment, the reporter suggested that it was time to end the military campaign against Emrik, and that Breez could destroy the newly established country with its great economic power. Hawkins was intrigued enough to begin to read carefully.
