Chapter 535: Two Forces
"He ......" When Zhou Sen mentioned the Awakened, Tang Xue's voice became choked.
"He's dead?" Zhou Sen's heart sank. If the Awakened is the messenger sent by the interstellar merchant ship, then it means that the Awakened also has great power, at least the power to be able to fight against the gods, and now, from Tang Xue's expression, it can be basically judged that the last Awakened is dead.
"Yes." Tang Xue's expression was gloomy.
"By the way, how did you know the identity of the Awoken?" This is the issue that Zhou Sen is most concerned about, because it is impossible for the awakened to say that they are the awakened when they meet people.
"You don't know?" Tang Xue was stunned.
"I don't know, because, I made a mistake and was temporarily assigned this mission, and I didn't know anything about this planet before I came to West Asia." Zhou Sen made up the story.
"What mistakes were made?" Tang Xue asked.
"They suspected that I was not an Awakened One, so they sent me to this planet, and now, I want to prove that I am an Awakened One." Zhou Sen let out a long sigh.
"You're unlucky...... Giggling...... "Tang Xue covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes swept over the holographic screen and saw Tang Changfeng's corpse, and immediately, the smile like spring light froze at once, and immediately, the expression on her face became lonely.
"You haven't told me how to determine the identity of the Awoken!" Zhou Sen was afraid that the clues would be interrupted, so he hurriedly asked.
"It's a long story......"
"It's okay, what we have now is time."
"More than 1,000 years ago, we knew about the 'preachers' and the 'awakened,' and they represented two forces...... At that time, when the West Asian exploration spacecraft arrived on this planet, there were several priests and a group of scientists, at that time, the two sides had serious differences about the future development, the preacher believed that the laws of nature should be followed, primitive life should be admired, and the destruction of the planet's environment should be opposed, but the awakened people believed that human beings should achieve scientific and technological civilization, and human beings should control their own destiny and future...... In short, the differences between the two sides reached the point where water and fire were incompatible, and in the end, the captain of the West Asian exploration spacecraft made the decision, and first developed according to the exploration of the earth......"
Later, in order to improve the quality of the population and avoid inbreeding, two cities were designed at that time, and these two cities were the predecessors of the great cities of West Asia and South Asia, and the two cities implemented very strict intermarriage examination in the first hundred years, and tried not to allow young men and women of the same ancestry to marry, under this system, the intermarriage between the two cities was very frequent, and under this frequent intermarriage, the economic and cultural exchanges between the two cities were greatly promoted...... However, the good times did not last long, and when the total population exceeded 50 million, there was a gap between the two cities, and this gap was also some of the grievances left by the first batch of interstellar immigrants......"
"A feud between the preacher and the awakened?"
"Yes, however, at that time, everyone didn't know about the preacher and the awakened, but they only knew that these two forces had been secretly competing, and the influence of the two sides in the West Asian Star was equal, but, relatively speaking, the awakened represented the secular power, controlling the economy, culture, politics and military, and its actual power could completely crush the preacher, but among the authorities in the secular government, there were many preacher forces, which led to the strength of the two sides being staggered, forming a balance of power......"
"Ahem...... Let's cut a long story short, how do you know who you are as evangelists and awakened ones? Zhou Sen interrupted Tang Xue's words, because he was not interested in these old things of Xia Xing.
"This kind of situation has been maintained for hundreds of years, and the strength between the two sides has also risen and fallen, and there has not changed much, and the West Asian empire is also divided and merged, and the long time must be divided, and the long time must be divided, in this kind of division and combination, although the development of science and technology has been repeatedly hit hard, but there is still no fault, there was a period of time when it reached the peak of the ancient earth, but this period was extremely short, because, the religious sect appeared a strong man, under the leadership of this strong man, The influence of Zoroastrianism expanded rapidly, while the technocracy was suppressed, talent withered, and the technology of the West Asian Empire became stagnant...... No, not stagnant, but backward...... In this situation, a genius figure appeared in the science and technology school to turn the tide. ”
"Go on!" Zhou Sen let out a long sigh of relief, he finally heard the point.
"Just when the development of science and technology was hit hard, the birth of this genius made a major breakthrough in many scientific fields, science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds in just a few decades, and once again approached the scientific and technological level of the ancient earth, and at this time, the great scientist was assassinated, and when the scientist's life was dying, he told his colleagues that his identity was the awakened one, and his mission was to spread knowledge and awaken mankind, and it was the evangelist who assassinated him...... From this time on, the science and technology faction of the West Asia Star knew about the preachers and the awakened, and after knowing it, as long as some geniuses were born in the West Asian Empire, they would immediately be protected......"
"I see. By the way, are the Awoken from an alien planet? Zhou Sen asked.
"The Awoken said he was from an alien planet, but not all Awoken are. At that time, the Awakened said that the Awakened would occasionally be sent over, but the vast majority of the Awakened were natives of West Asia. ”
"But the question is, since they are from West Asia, how do they know that they are the Awakened?" Zhou Sen looked dazed.
"The Awakened said that the vast majority of the Awakened do not know their identity as Awakened, and only the Awakened from alien planets know their identity as Awakened, and they have a very clear mission, such as helping to break through the bottleneck of a certain scientific field......"
"Wait, you're confusing me, since the Awakened doesn't even know that he is the Awakened, why is he called the Awakened?"
"Ability!"
"Abilities?"
"Yes, usually, many of the scientists who have made major breakthroughs in the history of science are awakened ......"
"If you say that, as long as you are a scientist, you may be awakened."
"No, as long as you are an awakened person, you will definitely have excellent achievements in science and technology, such as people like Albert Einstein on the ancient earth, but not scientists with outstanding achievements are awakened people......"
"Can you be direct? How can you tell if a scientist is an awakened person? Zhou Sen became more and more confused, and simply asked straightforwardly.
"Actually, we don't have a way to tell." Tang Xue smiled bitterly.
"Ah......h
"Because, the ability of the Awakened is derived from the alien high-level civilization, that is to say, if the local scientist of our West Asian Star has the identity of the Awakened, then he must be guided by a higher-level civilization, and it has little to do with his own talent, as for how to guide, no one knows."
"Oh, I see, that is to say, as long as you have the identity of an Awakened One, you must be made smarter by a higher-level civilization through some special means."
Zhou Sen's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the scale five on the interstellar merchant ship.
If those scales represent the civilization level of the West Asian Star in the universe, then the civilization level of the West Asian Star is the fifth.
"Yes, we don't know exactly how to do it, but I guess it's probably the development of the brain through some technological means or something, and besides, after the awakened people who accept this technology become geniuses, they themselves don't know what happened." Tang Xue Road.
"Hmm. In other words, the task of the awakened is to spread science, to make science change a planet, and to build a modern civilization through this change to resist the influence of the preachers, and it does not matter whether they themselves know their mission and identity. ”
"Yes. Of course, the awakened are not limited to scientists, there will also be politicians. Tang Xue nodded again and again, she found that after chatting with Zhou Sen, her thinking was much clearer, in fact, she had not been so systematically sorted out before.
Zhou Sen fell into a deep thought, because, he thought of himself.
There is no doubt that Zhou Sen is a genius.
According to Tang Xue's logic, he is very likely to be an awakened person, but he doesn't know his identity as an awakened person. If this is the case, then it is likely that the preacher set up a scheme to send him to prison.
Preacher!
No, Zhou Sen subconsciously shook his head, because he always felt that many things could not be explained.
Suppose you are an Awakened One, and then, you become the target of the preacher, and then you are dropped in Mogan Prison...... This is obviously not true, because since the preacher can easily drop him, then he can easily kill him, and there is no need to make it so complicated.
Is he a gifted genius or an envoy sent by a high-ranking civilization?
All the evidence shows that he is an Awakened One, because, when he was on that interstellar merchant ship, he was unimpeded all the way, and even those robots listened to him, and this alone made the probability that he was an Awakened One was more than seventy percent.
The Awoken.
Preacher!
A trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth, and he felt that his spirit was about to split, because he was not only a scientist, but also a cultivator.
Scientists, gods, these two unrelated identities were forced to get together on Zhou Sen alone.
If scientists and gods fight, who do they help?
Almost immediately, Zhou Sen's mind came to mind the god of death who killed a thousand knives and cut off his skull, and that guy was really haunted.
For now, the Techno-Tech faction was noticeably kinder to him, and from the beginning, he had been at odds with various gods, and he hadn't been harmed when dealing with that interstellar merchant ship.
"What do you want?" Tang Xue saw Zhou Sen pondering and was silent.
"It's fine." Zhou Sen shook his head, glanced at Tang Xue, who was tired, and got up and said, "You can rest on the sofa for a while." ”
"Thank you." Tang Xue was indeed tired, holding her chest with her hands, her body curled up in a ball and lying on the sofa, but she didn't sleep, just lay down.
Zhou Sen walked over to the only wooden chair and sat down.
Now, Zhou Sen has sketched a general situation in his brain.
There are two forces in the universe, they are gods and technology, it can also be said that religion and technology, they have established their own territories in the universe, and these territories have existence like energy stars, and there are also existences like West Asian stars, this existence is very complex, and each other's influence is intertwined on their respective planets.
Dog-tooth staggering!
God of War in West Asia!
Mars!
Zhou Sen's heart froze, and he thought of a question, since the science and technology faction can send the awakened to this planet, then, the gods can also send preachers, and even, the gods can directly intervene, just like the god of death in the energy star.
"Tang Xue, is the God of War of West Asia an evangelist?" Zhou Sen asked.
"I don't know." Tang Xue shook her head.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Zoroastrian Master."
"Why doubt him?"
"He came from a strange background, he was an abandoned baby, and he was found in a flower basket in a river, which was not waterproof, but did not sink...... In short, his life is full of legends, and when he preached, it was really out of the blue, and only after the old emperor came into contact with him, the whole person changed. Tang Xue said hatefully.
"That ......"
"Dingdong, Dingdong......" Just as Zhou Sen was about to ask a question, suddenly, a slight bell sounded in the underground base.
"The submarine is coming!" Tang Xue said in surprise.
"Do you want to transfer supplies?"
"Yes. It's a conveyor belt, and once activated, we just pile the supplies on top of the conveyor belt. Tang Xue walked to the wall, dragged out a long belt and fixed it on an iron rod in the underground base, and then, pressing a red button, the belt immediately rotated.
The two began to pile some supplies on top of the belt, and then the supplies were sent into a circular hole.
When stacking, Zhou Sen found that the size of all the materials was limited, and it was clear that these materials had been transferred with consideration when they were collected......
……
"Fluffy ......"
Although there are many materials, the conveyor belt can be connected to all the shelves, so the speed is still very, just over an hour, and there are not many materials left on the shelves.
The two of them hurriedly rushed to the front of the holographic screen, and their faces were immediately petrified, because a large number of soldiers in armor appeared on it, and surrounded the wooden house without roofs and walls.
At this time and at dawn,
"We're surrounded, but we can get out of the belt." Tang Xue's tone was very relaxed.
"You go first." Zhou Sen stared at the holographic screen, his gaze became cold, like a blade.
"Why don't you go together?"
"My dog is out there and I won't abandon it." Zhou Sen was stunned word by word.
“……”
Tang Xue opened her mouth and was speechless for a long time.
