Chapter 348 Doomsday and Refuge

During the meal, Angers briefly talked about the upcoming school board meeting. They would hold hearings on matters related to the Kassel Martial Arts Academy and Bronze and Fire.

"It sounds like you are in danger, principal."

Lu Mingfei winked at him.

"How about, let's take advantage of them before they come, or I can just do it once and for all."

He gestured in front of his neck rather viciously.

"Eat your food."

Angers put a piece of ribs into his bowl.

"Mingfei, how could you do this? We are all civilized people. We should not fight and kill at every turn."

He began to educate him sadly.

"You know, force cannot solve all problems."

Lu Mingfei pulled the ribs aside in disgust and muttered something.

Faced with Ange's serious words, he didn't care.

"Force cannot solve all problems, it doesn't matter, as long as it can solve the people who raised the problems."

Angers shook his head.

"You can't tell, but you are still an excellent tyrant seed."

"Hehe, this is called the near-zhuzhechi."

"Don't think I can't hear you calling me a pig in a roundabout way."

In this leisurely chatting atmosphere, they explained the fierce offensive of the school board in one word. Its importance is not even as important as the ribs on the plate. Some people have been sitting in high positions for a long time and always forget the nature of rights. This thing There are many forms of expression, such as crowns, scepters, seats or votes, but forms of expression are just forms. In the final analysis, it is power. Whoever has power has rights.

In the world of ordinary people, power is the army, weapons, and even the media.

But hybrids are not ordinary people. They are otherworldly beings. Absolute violence is their own. They do not need the help of external objects such as the military and media. Strong hybrid individuals mean rights.

This is also the reason why Angers is regarded by the school board as a tyrant entrenched in Kassel. In this highest mixed-race institution, his power does not come from others, and it has little to do with the title of principal. In the final analysis, because he It was Angers, a living legend who reigned at the top of the mixed-race personal martial arts. Half a century ago, Kassel was about to be destroyed. It was this man who single-handedly continued to write the glory of this surname.

"I'll wash the dishes."

Lu Mingfei said lazily.

"Need not."

Angers wiped his lips.

"I think, Mingfei, you should also be curious about what your parents are doing."

Lu Mingfei sat up slightly and looked at Ange.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Ange tapped the table, and Lu Mingfei heard the vague gear bite and energy fluctuations. He was very familiar with it. This was where the alchemical matrix was activated.

Lu Mingfei sank slightly.

The table and the two people at it, he and Ange, sank.

There was a vague feeling of weightlessness, they were descending, this was...an elevator?

Lu Mingfei looked around curiously.

"I think you should have seen relevant information. The reason why Kassel was built in the middle of the mountain is to protect the real refuge."

Sometimes I think about it, compared to the Camarilla's behavior, the Equipment Department is even more harmless to humans and animals. At least they won't hollow out an entire mountain and build a shelter inside.

Won't it collapse?

What material is used for support?

What about air circulation issues?

Where does the water come from?

How to solve energy problem?

These are just rough problems. If you want to truly complete the construction of the shelter, each problem can be expanded and list the technical difficulties one, two, three, four and five. Each difficulty requires a large number of papers before there is a breakthrough. .

But the Camarilla did just that.

What was presented to Lu Mingfei was not a feasibility discussion or a specific construction plan, but a completed shelter.

It even has a small ecosystem that is independent of the outside world.

There is no need to consider air circulation with the outside world, because it does not need circulation at all. Gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. circulate by themselves in this closed system. This is what a shelter should look like. No one knows when the end will happen. What will happen when it really comes? The importance of the self-circulating ecosystem needs no introduction.

Angers led the way, and they boarded the cable car. Through the glass, Lu Mingfei saw an extremely special scene. It was like a masterpiece of the gods. He used his power to create whatever he wanted, putting together different landforms like a game. Along the way, Lu Mingfei saw that the desert and grassland bordered, there were swamps and raindrops next to it, and the pyramid poked its head out among the trees.

Lu Mingfei saw all kinds of creatures living in this chaotic and harmonious ecosystem. It was obvious that they were different from the same kind in the zoo. They couldn't find any numbness in being raised. Lu Mingfei could live in them Seeing the precious wildness in them, perhaps for them, there is no difference between this man-made refuge and small ecosystem and the natural world where they originally lived.

Lu Mingfei even saw a group of lionesses chasing the antelopes. The antelopes were panicking, and the muscles all over the lioness' bodies were like water, full of the beauty of strength.

"How much effort you put into it!"

Lu Mingfei sighed.

Angers shrugged.

"I remember that there are a lot of specific information that you can browse. Your permission is enough."

"Wouldn't it be wasted?"

"Diversity of organisms is necessary in a stable ecosystem."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Suddenly, he saw a black and white creature holding a bamboo and chewing on it. Wait, that's a panda! It’s a panda, right?

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened and he looked at the panda and then at Ange.

Angers looked at him calmly.

"I said diversity is important."

"All right."

Lu Mingfei looked at the panda reluctantly until the cable car went away. This creature is so cute. I really want to rub it with my hands. It must feel very good.

The cable car did not stop, so they took the sightseeing route and circled the shelter.

Ange introduced Lu Mingfei to the legends of the first four centuries, the destruction of the four monarchs, the predicted year 2012, the Day of Judgment, the Time of Promise, no matter what they were called, the bell was about to ring, and they were about to usher in the final time.

In his narrative, Lu Mingfei thought about the question again, if the end is coming, how would you choose to face it?

Some people say that he will finish the last lecture and then recite a poem by Li Bai to the students. The person who said this is probably romantic to the core and can face everything calmly and calmly, but such people are really in the minority. The so-called Death is the only option in the ages. If the end of the world really comes, it is foreseeable that panic will spread like a plague, and the order of civilization will collapse in seconds.

It was against this background that the crazy 19th and 20th centuries emerged. Throughout history, mankind has never been so quickly and fiercely integrated as at this moment. Different civilizations, different skin colors, different peoples from different countries around the world , bursting out with dazzling light. Science fiction novels often use explosions to describe the achievements of this period, thinking that this is the result of the accidental and inevitable interaction of the development of civilization, but in fact it is not. There is no way out, and there is no such bright and lively century.

The doomsday theory that was very popular in the last century, the unidentified flying flag theory, the alien creature theory, has cooled down rapidly after entering the 21st century. Old and yellowed science fiction magazines clearly still have pictures of human beings imagining the appearance of creatures and aircraft, but now they have Few people mention it. People just think it is the end of a farce, and civilized rationality returns to its rightful place. But this is not the end of a farce, it is clearly the beginning of the end. The mixed races have made their choice. Some people choose to fight to the end, such as the staunch militants represented by Angers. Some people choose to retain the fire. They choose sites around the world to build shelters, such as Noah's Ark in the Bible. , trying to retain the hope for the survival of human civilization in the coming doomsday.

There is no doubt that those who advocate the establishment of shelters are pessimistic, but contrary to the stereotype, they are not timid.

Angers emphasized to Lu Mingfei seriously.

"Although they have different opinions, Mingfei, you must believe that both your parents are heroes."

"Choosing a refuge and preserving the hope of human survival is no easier than fighting to the death."

Lu Mingfei could understand Angers words.

As Romain Rolland once said, there is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to still love life after knowing the truth of life.

Not all those who choose shelters want to escape, but some also shoulder the burden of the survival of civilization. Many hybrids who choose this path are senior scholars. They clearly see the huge gap between the two races, humans and dragons. Even the most ideal hypothesis is that the four monarchs who wake up one after another are just lonely people, and their subjects all died in the long sleep. Human beings are facing only monarchs, not a complete race.

This is already the most ideal state, the most ideal state that can be deduced based on the reality that is bound to happen.

But the results remain disappointing.

The hybrids have unearthed many relics from the previous four generations. The more they excavate, the more desperate they become. No matter which generation has achieved civilizational achievements far beyond the present, some scholars describe it this way.

"Compared to theirs, our time is like a child."

It is the difference between adults and children.

And such powerful previous civilizations were buried one by one under the majesty of the monarch. The hybrids could not imagine how terrifying the Dragon King was, but those were just a prelude. All the murals, texts, and prophecies pointed out that the fifth generation was In the final generation, the world will usher in real destruction, which is a more complete destruction than the fourth generation of Qian.

It was out of this realization that Project Shelter was born.

The purpose is to survive the end of the world and preserve the fire of human civilization. There is one in Kassel and one on the plateau at the roof of the world. As for the others, even Angers cannot tell.

Shelters are the ultimate crystallization of civilization in this era, and the level of confidentiality is naturally the highest. Even Angers couldn't get the specific addresses of some of them. The only thing he could tell Lu Mingfei was that his parents were responsible for quite a lot in one of the shelters. Important work.

We took a cable car to visit the shelter. It was really big here and even had a hill-like Mayan pyramid. Angers proudly introduced it to Lu Mingfei. He said that this pyramid was a one-to-one original version. A mixed-race archaeologist was there It was discovered in the rain that the local aborigines regarded it as the residence of the gods. The secret party spent three years moving the pyramid back completely, including the soil and plants around the pyramid. They numbered each stone and restored it. The work lasted for a year and was accurate down to the carvings of each tower stone.

Some scholars believe that the Mayan civilization inherited part of the legacy of previous generations. They had an astronomy that was completely incompatible with their social structure and casting technology. They were so advanced that even twentieth-century scholars were stunned, but they didn’t even know how to burn glass. How do civilizations observe stars? They don't have astronomical telescopes.

Perhaps it can only be explained by the hypothesis of inheritance.

Hybrids have always been extremely interested in the heritage of the first four generations, and there are still people who frequent the four oceans, diving again and again in order to find the legendary city that sank into the sea, Atlantis.

Therefore, the pyramids of the Mayan civilization naturally have unimaginable value. Hybrids are eager to get a glimpse of some secrets of previous civilizations, and this way of carrying text also gives people great inspiration. Transistors will age, paper and bamboo slips will decay, and human beings Carving an entire library of text onto a CD will only take a few hundred years at most. It will become degaussed, age, and turn to dust, but stone will not.

The Three-Body Problem says to carve words on stone.

If the shelter can really survive the end of the world, then in the unpredictable future, faced with all kinds of risks that humans can imagine or cannot imagine, scholars have exhausted their imaginations and finally came to the surprising conclusion that if they want to inherit civilization to the greatest extent, the most reliable The method is the murals carved on the stone and the oracular sentences.

Anger and Lu Mingfei returned to the ground.

The shelter in Kassel is still just a closed ecosystem. Most of the residents inside are just animals, and the scattered hybrids are just researchers who record data and monitor. In fact, this shelter is probably the largest in the plan. A simple one. After all, more of the secret party's resources have been invested in the martial arts plan hosted by Angers. Now that there is an additional gold-swallowing beast from Kyushu Martial Arts, the two research institutes for elixirs and weapons require a lot of resources. Smash it inside.

In fact, even if the school board does not hold a hearing, Angers is ready to hold one on his own initiative. A penny would stump the heroic man, but funding is nothing to him. He is already familiar with it, otherwise How can there be people flying around 300 days out of the 365 days a year? Others rely on bicycles and cars to travel, that is, high-speed rail. It would be better for Angers to use private planes as personal bicycles. Every time the school director When the gentlemen in the club saw the bill coming from this guy, their eyebrows jumped, and they just wanted to pull Angers by the collar and yell.

"Can you give me a different excuse next time when I cheat on my funds? Ah, give me another excuse!"

"Do you have to go to Vienna to drink coffee? One cup costs 300,000 US dollars. Compared with you, the Pentagon can be honest!"

However, this situation has never happened. It’s not that the gentlemen on the school board have the sense not to care about Angers. They just understand that no matter what they say, the position of principal can only be given to Angers. This old guy is too It's important, unless he loses his mind and wants to buy the Statue of Liberty one day, then let him be.

However, all compromises are due to insufficient chips.

And now, chips that are enough to influence the balance appear.
