Duran took Dinisha away and let the heroic heroes represented by Starlight and Maeve rebuild the future, and the couple came to a new world.
The desert world is desolate, and when the wind blows, there will be a sandstorm that covers the sky. Dulan thought that if this picture was paired with the legendary assassination fist Fist of the North Star and a mohawk hairstyle, it would be very suitable for his temperament.
.
In the doomsday world, thieves are rampant, the weak eat the strong, and civilization restarts. Everything returns to the original rules.
Inside the city are people, outside the city are the wild lands, and outside are the barbarians, returning to the ancient and vague history.
"The end of the world." Du Lan said that the end of the world will always be full of yellow sand, making it an environment where people cannot survive.
"Everyone needs water, and desert is the antonym of water, so desert can indeed better support the end of the world." Dinisha feels that desert means less water, and it will be difficult to survive without water.
People live by water. Before the invention of wells and the development of water conservancy, people lived by rivers. All civilizations have records of floods, because how can you often walk by rivers without getting your shoes wet?
If you live by a river, you will definitely encounter floods, so all civilizations have left records of floods.
Without water, humans cannot survive.
Of course, there are oases in the desert, and there is water. But the population that the desert oases can carry is limited, so generally the people in the desert oases are cruel, and outsiders will be beaten to death if they take a sip of water. Because if outsiders take a sip more, they will be killed.
If you take less than a sip, you may be in danger.
With few resources, there are many conflicts. The water resources in the oasis are so scarce that they can be shot to death without any hesitation.
Under such circumstances, the impression of the desert is naturally dangerous and terrifying. The desert has become the most common environment in the end of the world. In the desert, everyone fights endlessly for a small number of resources, and you and I die.
The desert represents very few resources and great contradictions. There is no need to talk about joint development. If we develop together, we will be done with it.
The conflict is so great that they don't even have a reason to fight, and just start fighting just to survive.
In peaceful times, there is a reason to fight, but in the desert apocalypse, it is just a fight. Even the weak ones who are bullied do not think there is a problem, because the law of the jungle is always the strongest.
"In all apocalyptic themes, the apocalypse is the background, which is to create a worldview with extreme shortage of resources and extremely serious contradictions. What ultimately reflects the beauty and ugliness of people in this environment." Duran said that the apocalyptic worldview, in the background
Human beings are the most important.
What should people do when faced with extreme contradictions?
"In fact, it is to distinguish between us and them, establish a strict distribution relationship, protect our continuity, and eliminate them to snatch resources. To maintain a fragile survival, it is okay if there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters. Once something goes wrong, the fault tolerance rate is too small."
Dinisha said.
Both husband and wife are well-informed and are no strangers to this kind of apocalyptic world. Human beings are very fragile in the apocalypse, but even if they are fragile, they will continue to fight among themselves.
Because the fragile survival balance is in conflict with the desire for personal development.
Few resources can only keep everyone in a state of low survival. But people need development, but development requires more resources. The problem is that everyone has low survival, where are the rich resources for personal development?
Then a contradiction arises, the contradiction between survival resources and development needs.
From the perspective of those who seek to survive, personal pursuits are a heinous crime. From the perspective of those who have pursuits, survivalism is a heinous crime.
In fact, neither of them is wrong. For everyone's survival, the already scarce resources will be even less distributed to everyone, which is completely insufficient for development.
There is nothing wrong with individuals wanting to develop. If people live just to live, they are similar to animals. People's thoughts are active and their needs are diverse. Unfortunately, personal development requires resources. If you develop yourself, you will inevitably encroach on other people's resources.
Of course, if personal development promotes productivity and then gives back to others, this can be considered a good result. But no one has the ability to predict and do not know whether the future will be a good result. They are definitely not willing to gamble or put their own
Survival resources are bet on those who pursue personal development.
Therefore, the pursuit of personal development can easily turn into crime. If others don't give, why don't you take it away? How to make people believe in themselves and voluntarily hand over their survival resources is difficult.
Survival and development, the dark forest said that these are two truths of the universe. All civilizations take survival as the first element, and all civilizations also have the need for expansion and development.
However, survival and development are often contradictory, and you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Therefore, when low-level civilizations face the great civilizations, they can issue a "black domain statement", which is to surround their own galaxy with a low-light speed zone, which means that they have given up development. They give up development to ensure survival.
Of course, there are also those who gamble on survival and gain development, such as the Adventist, Survivalist, and Salvationist factions in the Earth Trisolaran organization. Among them, the Salvationist faction believes that the Trisolarans can bring more technology and better systems.
It can save mankind and lead the development of the earth.
This is a gamble. The bet is that the moral level of the Trisolaran people is as high as the technological level. The bet is human civilization. If you win, everyone will be happy. If you lose, the human race will become extinct.
There are other types of gambling, such as some young people working hard, drinking, and gambling with their lives on development. Even great men will bet on the fate of the country. If they win, they will live, and if they lose, they will lose everything.
Bet on it, regard your own survival as a bet, and seek a glimmer of hope for development.
"Everyone always needs to choose. They always think that the choice must be a good option and a bad option, but they don't know that it is more often a bad option and a worse option. It is difficult to get the best of both worlds. Most of them are just for
Survive and give up development, or bet on survival for development." Duran said that the two truths of the Dark Forest Law are opposites and unified, and they are indeed both needed, but they are also opposites, and many times you can only choose one or the other.
It's hard to say whether to choose survival or development, because both have reasons and are all needs. When there are many resources, survival can be satisfied, and development can also be satisfied, which can satisfy the individual's ladder of needs: survival, safety, socialization, respect, and self-realization.
But when resources are scarce and barely enough to survive, how should personal needs be dealt with? This has become a problem that any force needs to solve.
Different choices will appear: giving up development in order to survive, suppressing development in order to survive, depriving others of their survival in order to develop, and finding a way to unite everyone in a gamble...
"It seems we have met humans." The couple were chatting and moving in the desert when they noticed smoke and dust billowing in front of them. It looked like there was a vehicle moving, and the wheels picked up the dust, forming a straight trajectory.
The two stood on the commanding heights and looked into the distance. Sure enough, they saw a small team of chariots advancing at high speed.
"Although it is a post-apocalyptic background, the technology is not weak." Dulan saw that there was a single-soldier mecha on the tank, which showed that the technology level was not low.
Dinisha said: "With so much firepower, it will definitely not be without aim. There must be enemies in the desert that can match the individual mechas."
These individual mechas are naturally prepared for combat, so the enemies must be extraordinary.
This is the earth of "Spirit Cage". Due to an unknown disaster, human beings have entered a mode and are extremely short of resources. Human beings can only survive on a mechanical floating island called a lighthouse, trying to survive.
In order to ensure the operation of the lighthouse, a continuous supply of energy is required, so the lighthouse organized an elite hunting team to land on the surface to search for resources.
In front of Duran and Dinisha is the team of hunters entrusted by the lighthouse with an important task. Their mission is to find all the materials the lighthouse needs on the dangerous land.
This is a high-risk task, but it has to be done because without resources, the lighthouse will fall.
Floating a lighthouse is really a high-consumption way of burning energy. It can be said to be a black hole that swallows energy. As long as the lighthouse flies in the sky for a day, the hunters will have to take risks all the time.
