Evening.

St. Peter's Sanatorium.

After work, Albert likes to come to St Peter's Sanatorium, which offers free vegetarian food, free medical check-ups, and overnight stays if you're late.

In a word: I love coming here.

Tonight's St. Peter's Sanatorium is a bit lively.

When Albert arrived, Mr. Ludon and Lord Louden were there.

Of course, Hannibal and Todd are also indispensable.

At dinner, as is customary, Todd piled everything mushroom-related in front of Hannibal.

Albert was curious about what Hannibal's mushrooms tasted like, but unfortunately he never had a chance to taste them.

After dinner, everyone went back to their usual habits and went about their own business.

But the lord, unusually, offered to let Todd help him cut his hair and shave.

Seeing that the lord had something on his mind, Albert found a topic and asked casually,

"Sir, have you ever played with a gun?"

The first musket, which appeared 400 years ago, is said to have been invented by the tribune Luden.

However, after the death of the tribune Luden, a bizarre fire broke out in the workshop he owned.

All the secrets were buried in that fire, legendary technology, steam monsters, blueprints, dwarves and elves...

It's all gone.

And in the past 400 years, the civilized world has regained the technology of gunpowder, muskets, and artillery little by little according to a few words in the history books, until today.

The lord was a little curious,

"Played, why are you mentioning this?"

Albert turned to another question,

"Have you ever seen a war, I mean a war with muskets."

The lord wanted to shake his head, but was held down by Todd.

If you were someone else, you were so dishonest when you got a haircut, and Todd was already murderous.

Considering that the other party is a lord, Todd can give him a face.

Leave a whole corpse.

"I haven't seen it, what's wrong?"

Albert followed the topic and chatted,

"On a real battlefield, bullets fly around, it's hard to hit, hundreds of bullets fly overhead..."

He came from the highlands, where there was a lot of war and there were frequent battles.

After describing the real battlefield to everyone, Albert changed his words and asked a question,

"Most of the casualties of the fighters occurred in the course of the charge.

If there is a gun that can shoot more accurately and quickly, it makes the charge meaningless... So, is it possible to reduce the casualties of the fighters in the charge? ”

According to Albert, assuming the birth of such a gun, there would be no need for soldiers to charge.

To charge is to die.

Who will do the thing of sending people to death?

This brain circuit is a bit winding, and everyone needs to think about it.

Hannibal first asked,

"Does one side have this gun, or does both have it?"

Albert replied,

"It must have been owned by one side at the beginning, and as the war develops, both sides should have it."

Hannibal shook his head,

"Both sides have the same weapons, I don't see any change, they will kill each other faster, that's all."

The lord also joined the discussion and put forward his own point of view from another angle,

"Bullets and guns are limited, but people are much cheaper than guns... Even if there were guns like this, I don't think the war would stop. ”…

Todd directly concluded,

"Unless the kind of gun you are talking about can accurately hit the noble lord behind the city walls, the war will not stop.

What is the point of discussing momentary casualties in a war that will never stop? ”

Three people, based on their own experience, analyzed the same thing from different angles, and came to a surprisingly consistent conclusion!

Albert pondered, what went wrong?

Dr. Gatlin's idea was good, and the appearance of machine guns would also change the way of war ...

Albert understood.

As the trio said, changing the way of war is not the same as destroying it!

After the way of war changes, it is still war, and people will still die.

Luden, who had been silent, put down the newspaper at this time and spoke leisurely,

"Let's let our imagination run wilder, if, I mean, if you press a button today, you can easily kill a person in Shenbang City, it can be any person, it can be a large number of people, it doesn't matter.

Do you think the war will end if this weapon appears? ”

The hypothesis put forward by Mr. Lutdon is beyond the limits of imagination for many, and is not within the realm of science, but more like the content of theology.

As a theologian, the lord was the first to think of theology, and he smiled and said,

"Isn't that divine punishment?"

"Yes, let's call it Divine Punishment, assuming that mortals have the power of Divine Punishment, what will happen?"

Ludon looked at the crowd with interest,

"Don't be inhibited, just discuss.

After all, this kind of thing is impossible. ”

Albert shook his head and asked,

"No, Mr. Ludon, if we really have this power, we have a god."

In Albert's view, if it is a force that science can explain, it is still under discussion.

God?

Discussing the influence of the gods on the world is not Albert's concern.

Hearing this, Todd and Hannibal looked at Lutdon with some curiosity.

They are more curious about another question: Is there really a god in this world?

"There are no gods, no saints."

Luton said cynically,

"At least, I haven't seen God."

"Okay, so let's say the power you're talking about is in the realm of science, which goes back to our previous topic..."

Albert looked at Hannibal and repeated the other party's previous question,

"Is this power of 'divine punishment' owned by one force or by multiple forces?"

Hannibal naturally took over the topic,

"If it's really a power, at the very beginning, it's definitely owned by one side, and that creates a one-sided crush, so that there are two things.

Or, the side with the 'divine punishment' will completely gain the upper hand and become the ruler of the world.

Or, other forces will also master the 'divine punishment'. ”

"Wait a minute."

Todd objected,

"How do other forces master divine punishment?"

This question did not need to be answered by Hannibal, and Albert understood what Hannibal meant.

He nodded slightly, and agreed,

"Assuming that in the era of divine punishment, there was no significant gap in the technological level of the various forces. …

The side with divine punishment must use divine punishment on a large scale if it wants to conquer other forces, that is... will kill a lot of people. ”

In this case, the other forces will take control of the divine punishment as soon as possible.

After all, such a terrifying power, others have it, how can you not have it?

Hannibal continues,

"Even in extreme cases, the party that enjoys the divine punishment alone will take the initiative to leak the secret of the divine punishment in order to facilitate other forces to control the divine punishment."

The lord was a little puzzled, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Because... Divine punishment will kill a lot of people, sir. ”

There are so many people who die that even those who create divine punishment must consider the consequences.

The lord asked rhetorically, "Will the king in the palace die, will the congressman die, will the nobles of the divine kingdom die?" ”

Albert heads,

"According to Mr. Ludon's assumptions, they are indeed going to die."

The lord continued to ask,

"Maybe that's how Divine Punishment first appeared, but what if they developed a way to counter it? What if they were meant to die? ”

The atmosphere in the room instantly cooled.

Everyone who participated in the discussion felt a chill welling up in their hearts, and they couldn't disperse for a long time.

The old king of the fog capital has been seriously ill for a long time.

In the deep palace, rumors continued to spread that he was about to die.

If such a king is in control of divine punishment, what will he do?

There is a classic proverb in the state of God, and it is impossible to tell whether it is Ponger or Ludon who said it:

[No matter how big the flood is after I die].

Death threats, only useful for the living.

People always die.

The discussion ended in nothing.

Because they found that all simulations, deductions, and balancing strategies will inevitably avoid one reality: people.

It is God, not man, who is in charge of God's punishment.

As long as you are human, you will make mistakes and will age.

Once people get old, they are like machines that have fallen into disrepair for a long time, and all kinds of problems will occur.

In the history books, many heroes will become extremely confused in their twilight years, leaving a stain on their lives.

Someone once commented on the three giants of the Divine State, and the most accurate evaluation: they died too well.

The three giants of the Divine State died in the same year, and as soon as their careers reached their peak and achieved brilliance, they passed away in the blink of an eye, leaving the world with only a lifetime of fame and countless fantasy spaces.

In Shenbang, the best-selling ones are always 'Pang Ge will live for another 20 years', 'Ludon will live for another 20 years'...

Heroes and heroes are still like this, and mortals can be exceptions.

They understand that if one day man steals God's authority and grasps God's punishment...

The consequences are unimaginable.

Albert said happily,

"Fortunately, this is just an assumption, and nothing so bad will happen in reality!"

The solemn atmosphere was diluted a lot, and the people in the room laughed in unison.

Ludon still wore his trademark smile, and Todd smiled wryly.

Todd knew in his heart that Mr. Ludon would not bring it up for no reason.

Divine punishment may be the secret of Qiyun's demise, or it may be the fate of mankind in the future.

Either way, it's not good news.

Hannibal smiled expectantly and regretfully.

He could imagine the apocalyptic scene, but regretted that he could not witness history.

As for the lord...

He just felt that everyone was laughing, and it was not appropriate for him not to laugh.

The lord knows how to read the air.

Time passed quietly in laughter.

Winter goes to spring.

Newspapers began hyping this year's Lane badge, the highest honor in the medical community, and each recipient is a hot topic.

On the odds list, the two most popular candidates: Dr. Hannibal, who invented first aid, and Dr. Gatling, who invented the machine gun.

Soon, in the spotlight, the committee announced the results of the award.

This year's Ryan badge was won by an unknown doctor, who was a dark horse whose name did not even appear on the odds charts.

Dr. Rose, a native of the fog capital, has only one paper, and even a short sentence can summarize all of his research results:

"Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes."
