Human beings need resources to survive. The easiest way to obtain resources in a desperate situation is to obtain them from the surrounding humans. In the apocalypse, you start with a dog and rely on picking up all the equipment because 'picking up' is the easiest way to obtain resources. This is
It is common all over the world, just like wherever there are chickens in the world, local people will eat eggs. It is not that everyone has psychic abilities, but that eggs are easy to obtain.
Therefore, picking up equipment is a matter of course for Duran, because in his heart, the sun has died, and human life will continue to go backwards in the future, and then go through the twenty-five histories again. Since it starts from the primitive, it must start from picking up
Equipment begins.
However, in the eyes of others, Dulan's vision was that he was not doing his job properly, that he was motivated by money, that he did not respect the deceased, and that he was selfish.
"Don't move." Several guns surrounded Dulan and Xiao Wang.
Dulan looked up and saw a few civilians behind the soldiers, but he didn't see their car. He probably knew that their car must be broken down, so he transported the flint on foot instead. But even with protective clothing, it was not that easy for them to do so on foot.
Yes, because flint also requires energy, and the battery of the protective suit cannot support flint for long.
"What are you doing?" the soldier asked with a frown, although his anger could be felt through his helmet.
"We are collecting resources." Duran said confidently.
The soldier said angrily: "I think you were on the way to transport flint, but you ignored the rescue instructions and took advantage of the situation. You are under arrest. If you resist, we will shoot you." Although it is not the job of soldiers to stabilize public security, now
They must take care of this situation, that is, to crack down on social scum like Dulan.
"In the long run, I'm not taking advantage of the situation, I'm just hoarding resources." Dulan was very calm and did not become timid just because he was facing a gun.
This guy looked like a tough gangster at first glance. He was so calm in the face of a gun and had a very good psychological quality. The soldiers didn't talk nonsense to them: "Your car has been requisitioned. Get in now or I will shoot." They took them with them.
Weapons are designed to prevent such incidents from happening.
Although Duran believes that picking up equipment is the first priority for survival in the apocalypse, it is obvious that the soldiers will not agree. After all, it is not the end of the world yet. And even if it is the end of the world, it does not necessarily mean that we will regress to the primitive era.
In fact, human beings in primitive times had low productivity and couldnibalism, but primitive people followed the rules very much. Dulan's current behavior is just that of primitive people, without the morality of primitive people.
In short, although Duran's mentality was very stable, he could only stop when faced with the weapon because the muzzle of the gun was already pressed against his helmet.
"Okay, we won't move anymore, let you handle it." Duran said.
"boarding."
It was still important to transport the flint now, and no time could be wasted. So everyone got in the car and continued to rush towards the destination.
The soldiers were on alert at all times because they did not trust Dulan and Xiao Wang. The other two civilians also stayed away from Dulan, obviously afraid of the simple behavior.
"So you are the driver's sister?" The carriage was a little crowded, because in addition to the driver's brother and sister, there were programmers and engineers, plus several soldiers. Dulan and Xiao Wang were sandwiched between the soldiers, and they happened to be face to face with their sister.
My sister doesn't want to chat. She just lost her grandfather and is in a very bad mood now.
The elder brother was driving, also with a serious face. He reluctantly accepted this mission. He believed that these soldiers were heartless machines and did not understand emotions at all.
"Shut up." The soldier said angrily, not wanting Dulan to intimidate his little sister.
"I'm just talking. Seeing that the earth may be sucked into Jupiter, if you don't say it now, you may not have the chance in the future. I like to talk." Duran said to himself: "You want to go to the planetary engine in front? I
I advise you not to go, because you have been delayed for a long time, and I think in another fifteen minutes, the planetary engine will be ignited by someone else."
"I said, shut up." No one in the car was wearing a helmet, so they could directly feel the cold gaze. These soldiers were murderous because Dulan was disturbing the morale of the soldiers. He didn't want to use violence, but if Dulan
If Lan continues to push, he won't be polite.
Duran was silent for fifteen minutes, and the planetary engine in front was indeed ignited, just as he predicted.
"It's done?" The car stopped, and their tasks had been completed by others. But it was not over yet, the priorities changed, and there was another goal.
"Don't relax, the engines haven't restarted yet, we have to keep moving forward." The soldiers knew that unless all the planetary engines could be restored, it would not be over.
Duran said: "The next planetary engine is far away from the equator. It is useless to rush there. According to the speed of the earth approaching Jupiter, and then comparing the speed of the car, the earth will reach the limit before we reach the steering engine. What you are doing now
It’s just wasted effort. Am I right, programmer?”
It is indeed true. He has already calculated it through the computer. According to the current situation, even if all the engines are restarted, they will not be able to escape Jupiter. Rescuing the engines is a race against time. They are too far away from the next goal and spend too much time. Wait
When they arrived, the earth was almost hopeless.
While they were rescuing, the earth was also falling. These two processes were carried out at the same time, and the time was synchronized. But calculations are calculations, and even if it is useless, they must continue to do it.
The programmer knew that it would take eight hours for the earth to reach its limit. They reached the next target and raced all the way minus the time for refueling and rest. It would take at least seven to eight hours, which was not necessarily enough. But he just said: "It still has to be
We have to go." Perhaps as the engine is repaired, the eight hours can be increased to ten hours, and then their efforts may become critical.
As a man of science and engineering, as a scientist, the programmer knows very well that everything is uncertain, but it is because of uncertainty that human science is valuable. If everything is certain, then science will be meaningless. Science
The value is to continuously introduce variables and continue to make progress amid uncertainty.
If everything is decided, there is no hope. Hope is brewed in uncertainty.
"Shut up, or I will take your life-support battery and throw you into the ice and snow." The soldiers were unwilling to waste bullets.
Xiao Wang also felt that Dulan was talking too much at this time, couldn't he be quieter? Did he have to irritate the other party to be happy? He still wanted to live.
At this time, Xiao Wang heard Du Lan say: "Praise the Sun, I am a cadre of the Returned Army. If you kill me, you will miss a lot of information." He directly exposed himself, so that they did not dare to take action.
Everyone was stunned, wondering what was going on with this guy? But if Duran was really a rebel, then the soldiers really couldn't kill him and had to capture him for interrogation.
Xiao Wang didn't expect Dulan to reveal his identity so easily. He couldn't understand Dulan at all.
"Programmer, have you ever thought about building a quantum computer in the apocalypse?" The first quantum computer in "Gunslinger" was made by hand in the apocalypse. Originally, mankind was almost finished, but quantum computers
As soon as the computer came out, it took a hundred years to return to the cosmic age, and even went a step further to colonize the universe.
So Duran wanted to explore the possibility of a hand-made quantum computer.
The programmer said he must be a lunatic. How is it possible to build a quantum computer or something with his bare hands?
"Quiet, if you talk again, I will punch you. As long as you are alive, I didn't say you have to be intact." The rebels were so arrogant, and the soldiers' patience was limited.
We continued to the next location, but the atmosphere in the carriage was a little strange.
