After the strong wind comes the heavy fog, and there are strange things in the fog. Anyone who dares to move in the fog has to face dangerous monsters. But the killer is using the fog to sneak in and assassinate people who go in and out of the underground base.
This killer is a madman who claims that he can communicate with killers of all generations and gain their enlightenment.
Morgan said: "No matter what era you are in, you are always the one who causes trouble for mankind. Even if mankind is about to be destroyed, this will not change."
"As long as two people live together in groups, there will be problems of one kind or another, which cannot be changed." "Human beings cannot solve all problems alone. They can only live in groups, and betrayal and deception will naturally occur. This
It is human beings' own choice. If they choose to live in groups, they also choose to betray. Generally speaking, the advantages of living in groups outweigh the disadvantages, and there are only a few betrayers." Bai Yuekui knew that there is nothing in the world that has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Living in groups gives humans greater strength and more division of labor. It also increases expenses and must pay the cost of trust.
Trust is never innate. Even parents and brothers with the same blood will fight against each other, let alone couples and friends who are not related by blood.
Why should everyone trust? This requires a consensus, and then rewards and punishments. Accepting the consensus will be rewarded, and violating the consensus will be punished.
The most common punishment in ancient times was exile, from developed land to undeveloped land. Developed land can stably provide food for a long time, while undeveloped land without stable food is a bitter cold land, and it is possible that
starve.
The consensus at the beginning was blood. Everyone had the same blood and trusted each other and did not believe in other blood. But gradually, primitive nature worship and totem worship appeared, and then developed into polytheism, and different family identities were arranged for different gods.
This is used to build a trusting relationship.
Gods are a family, and believers in polytheism are also members of a family. Of course, there are also punishments, and those who do not believe in gods should be sacrificed.
The cost of faith is to abide by the consensus rules and bear the risk of being backstabbed.
How do you believe that the other person is a trustworthy good person? Do you just listen to the empty words of the other person? No, you rely on the gun in your hand. The gun should be pointed at the other person. If the other person is a good person, everyone is happy. If the other person is a bad person, just kill him.
So a good person has to be pointed at a gun. If he is not pointed at, how can he be believed to be a good person? This is the cost of trust.
Anyway, trust is never born, it is established because of consensus and rewards and punishments. Simply put, it is culture and system. Consensus is culture, and rewards and punishments are system.
Maintaining the unity of a force through two forces, even if there are only two people in the force, everything must be there.
The underground survivor base is also a group of people living together, and naturally all humans will have problems. The killer is one of them, a madman, a bastard who worships murderers.
Of course, Bai Yuokui can't understand that in such a repressive environment, there is nothing wrong with worshiping something that can bring strength to oneself, but worshiping a killer, understanding the killer, and becoming a killer is too much. Especially by assassinating compatriots.
Showing strength is even more unforgivable.
"What are you going to do?" City Lord Morgan asked.
"He will definitely come back. Catch him and let him do experiments." Bai Yuekui said. This is the base's punishment method. Anyone who breaks the law must make contributions and become test materials.
Bai Yuekui is a biology professor with profound knowledge and a deep understanding of the importance of clinical trials, so any prisoner can become a material.
Lord Morgan thought that she was still as decisive as before: "You can use food to make a trap."
Bai Yuekui thought the same way. Killers would also be hungry sometimes.
Everyone buried the dead, thinking of revenge.
Morgan visited this base that was in contact with Mana's ecology but could still maintain human characteristics. He found that everyone understood the source of life through contact with some weak and gentle pole-devouring beasts.
There is a pool in the center of the base. There are some luminous fish in the pool. Children will meditate by the pool. They wear special helmets on their heads. There is a cable on the helmet that is put into the pool. The fish will come into contact with the cable.
, the essence of life flows in the cable, activating the child's brain.
"You developed all these technologies?"
"To be precise, we all discovered it together. These things were obtained from the body of the pole-devouring beast. What we did was to return to the past. Before the development of industry, humans could not refine polymer compounds from petroleum and could not obtain cheap
We can only grow hemp, cotton, sheep, and silkworms to obtain linen, cotton, wool, and silk. We can also obtain leather and fur from animals, and even feathers from birds." Bai Yuekui said that in industry
Before the revolution, humans obtained these materials from nature.
Even in history, King Mu of Zhou Dynasty visited the west and learned that there were many beautiful birds on a mountain, so he took a detour to the mountain to pick up feathers for three days. In addition, feathers in ancient times were also tribute and were very precious materials that could be used for decoration.
You can also make fans.
Before there was petroleum and before the production of polymer materials, animals and plants were the main sources of materials.
It's the same now. You can get skin, tendons, bones and other materials from the Devouring Beast to make clothes, equipment, and training equipment.
The cables on the helmet are actually the tendons of the Devouring Beast, so the life essence flows in them.
City Lord Morgan heard this and knew that the survivors on the surface were returning to the old path of human civilization development and once again obtaining what humans needed from nature.
This is different from the lighthouse, which has always refused to accept the new ecology and looked for industrial products from the old world to survive.
But before there was industry, the ancients also relied on the gifts of nature to survive, which was exactly what the lighthouse lacked.
Of course, the Mana ecology is still very dangerous now. Bai Yuekui's development to this point depends entirely on his strong strength, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold at all.
Just like the ancients relied on the invention of weapons to stand out in nature and defeat tigers, leopards and wolves, force is essential.
All things are born to nourish people, and they use force to gain a foothold. What Bai Yuekui does next is to use his own expertise, hunt down the pole-devouring beasts, and utilize these materials in the ancient ways.
Of course, machines are indispensable when processing these materials. The ancients could not complete more precise processing by relying only on their hands, but using tools can carry out detailed processing and make more changes in new materials.
It's like the ancients said that you should eat what you need, but they could only use the simplest cooking to extract what they needed. However, science and technology can directly extract effective compounds, such as hyaluronic acid, which is found in cow's eyes and cockscombs.
elements, so scientists initially collected cow eyes and cockscombs, dried them, crushed them, extracted them, extracted hyaluronic acid, and injected them into the human body for beauty.
Although nutrients are all extracted from animals, the technology is obviously more precise. Of course, hyaluronic acid was later produced through fermentation, the output was greatly increased, and the price became much cheaper.
The thinking of the ancients is actually correct, but it lacks the bonus of technology. Although Bai Yuekui adapts to the new ecology according to the thinking of the ancients, after all, he is a talent cultivated in the industrial era and will not give up the means of industrial processing.
Lighthouse has the means of industrial processing, but it does not have the ideas to adapt to the new ecology.
Lord Morgan has a lot to learn, and the lighthouse can also use these experiences. Of course, he knows that the lighthouse will probably not learn. Instead of learning, it would be more efficient to directly seize the land and technology developed by Bai Yuokui.
Seizing developed land is the most direct way of colonial development. At most, it is to use slaves to build a road between developed lands, so that resources can be plundered more quickly.
