It is very dangerous to go to the surface. Lighthouses usually go to areas that have already been explored to collect resources, and they try to go there at noon, because sooner or later something will happen.
The exploration is very cautious, but even so, the loss of the hunting team is not small. Even if there are multiple planes, people will still die. The efficiency of exploration is not high, and the resources collected each time are only enough to run the lighthouse for a few months, so
The hunting team conducts three to six missions every year, and there will be casualties every time.
And as the exploration continues, the resources in many safer areas have been exhausted, leaving only dangerous areas to explore, and areas where the number of enemies far exceeds the capabilities of the hunting team.
"The various capabilities of the lighthouse are limited. The combat effectiveness of the hunting team has a limit. The load capacity of the lighthouse has a limit. The power of the lighthouse and agriculture all have limits. The limit protects human survival very well. At the same time, the limit
It also limits human survival and development. Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize dust people to explore the surface." Duran said to Mark: "What we are doing now is still for the lighthouse, so don't think it is betraying the people."
Mark and Ran Bing knew that the other party was trying to comfort them. Mark also felt that it would be a good thing if the dust people had the ability to explore, but he still said worriedly: "But the surface is very dangerous."
"It is indeed dangerous, but danger must be explored. Otherwise, do you have a better way?" Duran said.
Mark was silent for a long time and said: "Hey, I just want the best of both worlds, but I can't come up with a best of both worlds plan, that's why I ended up like this. Lord Morgan, although my sister's plan is not beautiful, it is at least a workable one.
If I can't come up with a better plan, what's the use of being dissatisfied?" "Donnie, I have an idea."
"Tell me."
"You said that the boundary of the lighthouse protects and limits humans. I agree. So I hope the lighthouse can land. Do you think it can be successful?"
"You are definitely not the only one who wants to land, but this requires a sufficient understanding of the earth's surface. There are many problems that need to be solved. I think Hongkou also wants to land, so he collects surface data. This may take several days.
Years. Unless we find surface survivors, kill their people, and rob their reclaimed land, we can land immediately." Duran said.
"..." Mark was stunned. He found the survivors and then killed their people to take their land? Isn't this too crazy? But looking at the other party's expression, he knew that Donnie was not joking and was serious.
History is like this. In the Age of Discovery, why did the colonists kill the indigenous people? It was because killing the indigenous people was the most efficient way. The indigenous people had land that had been reclaimed and they could produce it by grabbing it.
"In order for the lighthouse to land, we need to change our previous way of collecting resources and prepare for the baby boom. We need enough safe and fertile land. Of course, land alone is not enough. We also need to open up wasteland and have enough food.
In order to survive better. All this takes time. If you open up wasteland by yourself, it will definitely take three or four years. During this time, you may also face the harassment of pole-devouring beasts and the troubles of unknown ecology. There are many problems when flying in the sky, and there are also problems when landing on the surface.
There are many problems. There are no simple things in this world. Everything you do is like walking on thin ice and you need to pay a price." Duran said that if the landing on the surface is not implemented, it will always be a beautiful vision. Everyone can think that landing on the surface is a good idea.
There are answers to all questions, but once you actually practice it, you will find that there are a lot of troubles when landing on the surface, and it is very difficult to solve them.
So what did the Buddha say? When a disciple asked the Buddha how to become a Buddha, the Buddha replied that when a disciple asked a question but did not get an answer, he became a Buddha.
After asking the question, there are no more questions in the mind. There is no answer, and there are no new questions in the mind because of the answers. Therefore, at this stage, the most perfect person is the Buddha.
This is how it is in reality. All people's difficulties are caused by the status quo, so people want to change the status quo. Unfortunately, their abilities are limited, and most people cannot change the status quo. Therefore, they believe that there is something that can solve all problems, such as Yao, Shun, and Yu.
, Utopia, the round moon in foreign countries... I believe these things are perfect.
But in fact, Yao, Shun, Yu, Utopia, and the moon of foreign countries are no different once they are put into practice. Zhu Yang's idea of not taking away a cent, not taking a city, and Mozi's mutual love and mutual benefit are all beautiful, but once they are put into practice, they are all troubles
.
So this is the same as becoming a Buddha. It is the best when you ask questions but have no answers. It is also the best when you encounter new ideas but have no practice.
A beautiful theory can be perfectly adapted to various ideal conditions, but once it is put into practice, the objective environment will teach people how to behave, and it will not be beautiful at all.
It’s not just Mark who thinks that landing is the answer to all problems. In fact, there are many people at the lighthouse who have similar thoughts and think that as long as they land, everything will be fine. The question is, if it’s so simple? Why doesn’t Lord Morgan land?
Some people will say that Lord Morgan is too selfish and unwilling to land. Others will say that the superiors are too evil and they are afraid of losing their advantage.
In fact, Lord Morgan and many citizens have considered landing. The problem is that there will be many troubles after landing, such as how to farm, how to ensure that they are not attacked by the Mana ecology, how to ensure that they stay away from the red pigment, and how to ensure that everyone can still accept management after arriving on the surface.
...These problems are very difficult to solve.
Everyone thinks about landing, but it is very difficult to actually do it.
"So it's best to treat landing as a beautiful vision and never implement it, so that everyone will be happy," Duran said.
Mark was dumbfounded. Did he just deceive himself in the end? "No, we must land. Let's go to the surface and collect more intelligence. Then we will go to the survivors and ask them how to survive. We will definitely be able to land." He did not give up.
, I want to practice it step by step.
"Then come on." Dulan said that this determination was good, and said: "Then we have to go to the surface many times to learn more about the surface."
"Yes, we are going to the surface." Mark decided to join the Dustmen's night attack team, starting as a soldier, for no other reason than to collect intelligence and prepare for future landings.
The night attack team has four superiors, and its strength has greatly increased.
At the same time, the heavy planes that were transported up were also being renovated. Recently, the lighthouse was undergoing a power exchange, and the people were in chaos, so 9527 entered the heavy plane cemetery and stole a lot of equipment.
Duran rewrote the program for the heavy solid, so that the engineering program could also carry out combat. Although it was not as exaggerated as the military heavy solid, it was already capable of fighting.
"Okay, the night attack team sets off!"
It is still the same warehouse as before, and there are still many things in it that have not been shipped back.
The signs outside the warehouse have not been damaged, indicating that there is no danger and should be moved immediately.
Mark and Ran Bing were also amazed by the efficiency of the dust people, who completed the work very quickly. Unfortunately, the stealth spacecraft did not have enough load, so it could only be transported in multiple batches.
"It seems they are serious." Ran Bing said.
"Indeed, in fact, the gap between Shangmin and Chenmin is not that big at all." Mark felt that there was a power in the Chenmin. If it could be stimulated, the lighthouse would definitely be able to land. But how to stimulate it, he didn't know.
"Move it quickly." 4068 told them to stop whispering and work. It feels so good. In the past, the superiors ordered him, but now he can order the superiors.
Mark immediately immersed himself in hard work, and then took out a pen and paper to record the situation on the surface. This information may become the hope of landing on the surface in the future.
However, Mark's efficiency was definitely not as high as that of the outpost. The lighthouse sent Lord Morgan and a few old people directly to the river bank on the surface, gave them some containers and equipment, and let them observe the ecology of Mana on the surface.
