##这里是, welcome to join the RUDN family, let's soar together in the ocean of words and enjoy the supreme pleasure of reading##

You guys, you don't know about Base 2? So, where did you come to know the term "pathfinder"? ”

"It was a computer that has almost exhausted all energy that told me." Ou Qin smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was just a little girl and didn't understand anything. ”

"Oh? What's going on? "It's a long story to talk about it." Ou Qin indifferently smoothed the hair around his ears, sat in front of the fire, and said slowly: "My birthplace is a city ruin nearly a thousand kilometers away from here. In the beginning, I was just a hunter like everyone else. If it weren't for the discovery of ...... from the books left by the ancients"

"Wait a minute" Speaking of this, Tianxiang abruptly interrupted her words and asked hurriedly, "Tell me, you were born to understand ancient characters?" Or did you learn this skill somewhere else? "By learning, of course." Ou Qin glanced at him a little inexplicably: "I have a ...... that runs on solar energy next to me."

"Learning machine?"

"That's right! That's the thing. "What about the others? Is there still a book? How many other books are there that contain some basic skills? ”

"That's true."

Tianxiang let out a long gasp and turned his gaze to the other two: "What about you?" Do you have the same learning machine? And the exact same growing environment? ”

Yang and Qin looked at Tianxiang with each other, and said in surprise: "Why, you, don't you even know, is this an application resource that we must have?" ”

"Application Resources?" Tianxiang Qi said: "What application resources?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

"You don't know about application resources?" Qin Guang frowned: "Then where did you learn the identity of your pathfinder?" "Like you, it was a central control computer that told me." Tianxiang said bluntly: "By chance, I found a base that is maintained only by solar energy. The computer there told me everything I knew about the "Pathfinder" and the ancient genetic humans. ”

"A base?" Yang Xiaotian exclaimed when he heard this: "God! Your luck is much better than ours. You know, what we found was just a computer that was almost scrapped! "Wait. You haven't told me yet, what exactly is the application resource? Tianxiang interrupted him. Application resources refer to the complete set of related auxiliary equipment that each 'pathfinder' has accompanied him through the period of ignorance since he was born from an artificial embryo. Without waiting for Yang Xiaotian to speak. Ou Qin, who was sitting beside him, said: "In the original plan to create a genetic man, the ancients had already prepared a complete set of relevant equipment for us 'pathfinders'. From the simplest text learning machine, to the most complex external energy-based automatic computer, and a lot of well-stocked weapons, food, and so on. All of this is intended for the Pathfinder to learn about ancient knowledge and civilization on his own at the beginning of his life. These things, for every 'pathfinder'. are an extremely important set of material help. In other words, the so-called application of resources is actually the material basis set up for us. With these things, we can smoothly accept and inherit the ancient technology that has perished. Re-lead humanity to a new civilization. Qin Guang added.

Tianxiang didn't speak, he was thinking. Carefully appreciate all the implications of these words. Because it was too different from what he had known before. "A complete set of application resources, including a fairly diverse and large number of items." Yang Xiaotian sighed with a tone of regret: "Solar learning machines and books are just the lowest level of materials. If you've ever paid attention, you'll probably find that the little learning machine can teach you nothing more than just some of the most basic knowledge of the language and writing, and some of the simple things that are far beyond them. But, you know what? That little machine and book are just the most inconspicuous and insignificant things in the whole set of application resources. Their task is to guide the nascent "pathfinders" to grasp the necessary simple theories of ancient civilizations. "You mean, that learning machine is actually part of the material help that the ancients left us?" Tianxiang frowned and groaned.

"That's true."

"So, in other words, as a 'pathfinder', you should have more application resources?" "Of course." "Every 'pathfinder' will get a set of application resources to match it at the beginning of gene generation. It includes a range of items including a biological computer, light individual combat armor, a small defensive field, and a location-based electronic map. Weapons, equipment, food, and technological manufacturing components are all available. As long as you have access to your own supporting application resources, Pathfinder will become the most powerful existence that is not afraid of any threat. Tianxiang was completely stunned, and Ou Qin's words brought him an unprecedented shock. He never imagined that the identity of the "pathfinder" who he thought was just a simple leader in rebuilding human civilization would have such a great mystery behind it. If you really have such a set of application resources of your own, I'm afraid, no matter how difficult it is, you won't be taken into account by yourself at all! It's just that, listening to Ouqin's tone, a complete set of application resources should overcome a considerable space. If it's just the narrow crypt where I was born, I'm afraid I can't let go of it at all...... Probably feeling the doubts in Tianxiang's heart, Yang Xiaotian shook his head and further explained: "Seriously, your reaction is not bad. I think I almost didn't get a laugh when I first learned that I was a "pathfinder" and that I could have so many things. You know, according to the computer, every set of application resources includes a small base with abundant energy. It had enough food to feed 10,000 people for ten years, as well as factories capable of making firearms. and a wide variety of supplies necessary for survival. Think about it, if you can get a complete set of application resources, then, now me. What will it look like? Tianxiang didn't speak, just smiled politely. Seriously, he didn't believe Yang Xiaotian's words at all. If ancient humans had really foreseen the current situation on Earth, they would have been able to prepare such a large amount of help materials for the "Pathfinders" in advance. So, after hundreds of years, how many can still be used today? Not to mention. If all of this is true, then where are the huge number of application resources? "You might think we're exaggerating, but it's true." Attentively, Ou Qin noticed the look of confusion in Tianxiang's eyes. Patiently explained: "After all. That's what the computer tells us. According to its information, the application resources are mainly composed of three parts: weapons, food, and technological inheritance. The number of each part of the land is extremely large. Seriously. It's not just you who think so. The three of us have also had doubts about the computer's claims more than once. After all, none of us found any application resources other than learning machines and books. These things, which are supposed to exist and belong to us, are like transparent air, which cannot be seen or touched. "Where did you find the computer?" Tianxiang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly thought of this very critical issue.

"An ancient fort that has long been abandoned." Qin Guang said slowly but clearly: "It's funny to say, a few of us were chasing an aphid from three different directions at the time, so we met there. It was an almost completely enclosed casemate. Everything inside had been embroidered, except for a computer that controlled the movement of the artillery, and it was there that we learned for the first time who we were as Pathfinders. "So. Does the computer leave anything behind other than telling you that you are "pathfinders"? For example, "information"

The three of them shook their heads in unison, and said with a smile: "It's a computer that runs on solar energy." Most of its solar cells have long since been damaged. Thanks to a pre-programmed hibernation program, it is able to operate at minimal speed with minimal energy supply. The appearance of the three of us made it use up all its reserve energy. Therefore, after telling everything, no, it should be said that it only told us this, and before even saying all the words, it was completely scrapped" "It is indeed so" Ou Qin sighed regretfully: "We can know, really...... It's just too little. If that computer can have a little more energy and can tell us more things, I'm afraid, we can also find our own application resources. In that case...... "If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm now your obedient person." You also want to be my leaders. Tianxiang breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart without moving. Seriously, since he met these three "pathfinders", his biggest concern was that his ability was too low, and the gene cells in his body would automatically choose someone else as his leader. If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept this fact anyway. After all, rights are the safest things only when they are in their own hands. Fortunately, Ou Qin, Yang Xiaotian, and Qin Guang, these three genuine "pathfinders", their experiences are far less fortunate than their own, and they even get the necessary data input, maybe it is precisely because of this that their abilities are lower than their own! At this moment, Tianxiang felt that his luck was really good, if it weren't for the map in the crypt that was about to rot, if it weren't for the fact that he went to the library alone to explore the secrets, if it wasn't for the fact that he discovered the small underground base by accident, if it wasn't for the fact that he learned about the existence of Base No. 2 in that tattered diary...... So what will you become now?

It's just that, in addition to being happy, Tianxiang also has a trace of regret and confusion in his heart. The loss of a large number of functional application resources is really a loss for yourself as a "pathfinder". Yang Tianxiao is right, if you can have complete application resources, then the task of leading the group will become relatively simpler.

But the problem is that the "Zhilong II" is hiding in the depths of the base and demanding that it liberate the sun. Why didn't it tell itself anything about the app resources? Not even the slightest mention of it. Doesn't he know about the central control computer? Although the inner problem is really difficult to explain, Tianxiang didn't think much about it. In fact. He was interrupted by a piece of salt-stained roast meat in front of him.

"Eat something." Passing over the barbecue, Ou Qin smiled and said, "You are our new leader. Don't say we didn't treat you well! Tianxiang smiled faintly, took the crunchy piece of meat, and brought the topic back to the original train of thought.

"By the way, those sea tribes, how did you get in touch with them?"

This is the reason why Tianxiang has followed this here, and it is also the question he wants to figure out the most so far.

"Speaking of the Sea Clan. I also have a question I want to figure out. Sitting on the side, Qin Guang, who had not made a sound for a long time, suddenly smiled: "How did you find us?" "I followed the convoy of the Sea Tribes that were changing salt. Tianxiang said bluntly: "The original goal was just to know the whereabouts of the Sea Clan. It's just that I discovered your local community. ”

"Huh! Found? I'm afraid it's more than that, right? ”

"Of course. I want you to join my people. ”

"What if we don't answer?" Taehiro's tone suddenly became a little stiff. "It's impossible not to say yes." Tianxiang said indifferently: "I will use all means to make those who don't want to agree accept all my conditions." After all, there are too many enemies of humanity, and if you don't use such tough measures, I'm sure you know it. What will be the end result? ”

In this way, the originally lively atmosphere becomes a little cold. The faces of the other three "pathfinders" gradually showed an inexplicable indifference and hostility. No one spoke, only four people gathered around the fire in the middle and there was a crackling and burning sound.

Time passed slowly minute by minute.

"Flutter-" Ou Qin, whose face was like frost, suddenly laughed: "Don't make trouble, how about it, Xiaoguang." I'm not wrong! You simply don't have the power he has. "How many times have I told you, don't call me Xiaoguang in front of outsiders." Tai Guang glanced at Ou Qin with some annoyance, and stretched out his hand to Tianxiang apologetically: "Don't be surprised, I just want to see how powerful your ability is, a leader who has been automatically selected by genes, has." Hehe! Seriously, as far as you said, if you change my words, I'm afraid I really can't do it. ”

Tianxiang smiled kindly and held the palm of the other party's outstretched hand. From the very beginning, he knew that these people were just posturing. The selection function of genes will never allow such a thing to happen. In the same way, the brainwaves, which are far more powerful than the other party, can also find any malicious elements from their mutual thoughts and feelings. "Actually, when it comes to the Sea Clan, I'm afraid we don't know much more than you." After the arms of the two were separated, Yang Xiaotian said solemnly: "About a year ago, we used up all the stored salt. The whole tribe had to move to the sea to the west, so as to find the location of the sea tribe and obtain the necessary salt. ”

"But it's weird." Qin Guang frowned: "Those Sea Clan people seem to know in advance that we are short of salt. Intercepted us halfway through, and exchanged a large amount of salt for some trivial knick-knacks at a fairly low standard. However, the salt that was changed was enough for us to eat for a long time. ”

"So, you haven't contacted them since?"

"Of course there is a connection." Ou Qin said slowly: "The Sea Tribesmen who exchanged salt told us that if we needed help, we would go to the place where we last met them and wait. They will help us as much as they can. ”

"Oh? So, this time, you sent people to wait there? "It's not just this time." Yang Xiaotian picked up a clay water cup beside him, took a sip gently, exhaled a long breath, and said clearly and slowly in a deep voice: "In the past year, we have been there a total of four times. Only this time, did I see the Sea Clan. ”

"Why?" Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Quite simply, the reason for this is salt." Apocalyptic hunters
