Chapter 316 There is no bad land, only tired land
Chapter 316 There is no bad land, only tired land...
Xu Shi's conjecture is not complicated and has existed a long time ago.
That is, is the strength of "Tianli" also related to "Rust Mist"?
The first time he noticed this was probably when he killed Shen He.
The reason is very simple. Ten years ago, for the so-called plot development of Night Sin City, "Tianli" could even use mechanical deity to destroy the two giants in the city at that time, "Refraction" and "Tianhe" overnight.
Being able to do this, you can imagine how terrifying his strength is - to be honest, even Xu Shi himself may not be able to do this so cleanly, without even leaving a trace.
Coupled with the strength of "Tianli"'s control over various experimental areas around the world, it is always worrying.
but.
When he broke or completely changed the direction of the plot, "Heavenly Reason" did not intervene. This seemed to be a very strange thing.
Ever since then, I have had doubts. Was it because my actions did not break their bottom line?still……
Are they no longer powerful enough to carry out such forcible intervention?
At the beginning, he was not in a hurry to make a conclusion. The original purpose of going to sea also had a taste of exploration - to use further expansion and exploration of the world to try to find the elusive bottom line of "natural principles".
however.
When things have developed to this point, the attitude of "Tianli" is still somewhat ambiguous - the most intuitive point is probably what they showed when they briefly came into contact with themselves through the Holy Maiden in the "liminal space". , similar to a compromise decision.
Frankly speaking, as an "outsider", he turned another experimental area upside down, or conquered another experimental area. Such a big thing only ended up with an "abandonment treatment". This is a big deal in itself. A very strange thing.
Anyway, that's what Xu Shi feels. If he puts himself in his shoes and someone does such a thing under his eyes, then he will definitely eliminate such a threat at all costs, and then put the Hualan Empire back on track.
In the final analysis, although the protagonists of this generation were wiped out without any fanfare, the Hualan Empire as a whole did not have any major problems. It was still operating, and it did not turn into a scorched earth ruins.
In this case, wouldn't it be good to solve the unrest factors of outsiders and restart it?
Even if he takes a step back and is not so radical, he will never let it go and give up the experimental area he has worked so hard to establish.
This is not common sense, right?For the development of the plot in area A, a mechanical deity can be used, and area B is completely disrupted and no one cares about it. Area B was born by the stepmother, right?
But if the lack of "natural principle" is the premise, it seems to be able to explain it.
Of course, the "Tianli" of ten years ago and the "Tianli" of today are not the same. Maybe what changes have happened to them during this period?
Xu Shi knew in his heart that not only the City of Night Sin and the Hualan Empire, there must be many other experimental areas like theirs in the world.
And everyone is under the supervision of "natural law". If there is a big change somewhere, it may indeed weaken or even significantly weaken their strength, thus triggering a series of butterfly effects.
Under the premise of insufficient strength, their handling methods will definitely change, and the corresponding standards and bottom lines will be lowered again and again.
It is a very simple principle to eat as much rice as there is a bowl.
So, the question is, what exactly is this change?
This is one of the few things in Boss Xu's life that is difficult to confirm. It can even be said that there is no clue - there are few clues about "natural principles", and it is not that easy to analyze.
But now that he has it, the inspiration comes from his previous conversation with Pan Ling.
Because the conditions in each experimental area are different, in addition to the "supervisor" layer of protection, "Tianli" must also have a general supervision method, and it must also be a method that can deal with various different situations. .
This is the so-called master key.
To achieve this, you must use the medium of "Rust Mist" - implanting the protagonist's halo into the chosen one is the best example. In the same way, deus ex machina can also be achieved in this way. .
Or, it seems that it can only be achieved in this way.
The advantage of this is that "Heavenly Law" can operate in this way anytime and anywhere, and the technology at their hands is definitely enough for them to adjust the degree of deus ex machina.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. "Tianli" does not have the ability to completely control the "Rust Mist" - if they had this ability, then everyone would stop playing, and they would not bother trying to clear the "Rust Mist". This is not Logical, right?
Then, once the "Rust Mist" changes, or their technology is not enough to control the "Rust Mist", such a problem will arise.
Jiang Chengcheng was asked to pull out the "rust fog" monitoring data of the past ten years to support this point, and the results obtained were similar to his conjecture.
The most intuitive data is that in the past ten years, the concentration of "rust fog" in the air, or the "rust fog" layer hanging above everyone's heads, has been increasing. So far, the increase has been basically around [-]%.
At first glance, it doesn't sound like much, but "Rust Mist" is extremely dangerous. Let alone [-]%, [-]% is very scary.
Especially technical experts like Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan, who have to deal with "rust mist" all the time, have a deeper feeling about this - ore may be fine, but if gaseous "rust mist" is needed as the basic raw material, no matter how subtle it is, Changes require a lot of adjustment and are simply not too tiring.
However, the master and apprentice Xu Shi and Lu Baiyan were still shocked - the latter two were because their city-state did not have such high-tech monitoring methods, and the former... Where had this guy ever taken care of these things before?
In addition, this kind of growth happens little by little over time. For people who don't care, it really can't attract much attention.
Even though this is very intuitive, it is something that can be found just by looking it up.
But it is such a factor that is so intuitive that it seems to be thrown in the face, but it has tightly choked the lifeblood of "Tianli" - obviously, they are also unable to cope with the increasingly raging "rust fog", which leads to the loss of original advantage.
After sorting out the cause and effect, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief thoughtfully.
"No wonder."
Through the process of drawing conclusions, many things can be explained.
The soft attitude of "Tianli" is one thing. In fact, Xu Shi was also curious about Luo Yu.
After all, compared with Shen He's little baby, this guy is really a bit too unappreciated. Shen He Zaicai has tried to fight him to the death, and even when he has the upper hand, he is still in Xia Ke'an's future calculations. A certain winning rate is retained.
In comparison, Luo Yu's kid was ridiculously bad. Not only was he crushed by him throughout the whole process, he only played a supporting role in the final battle. The real protagonist was Xu Ying as the "supervisor".
Even to put it harshly, he is no different from cannon fodder. He will die as soon as he wants. His main focus is to be neat and tidy.
Not to mention that this is because Boss Xu has the dual advantage of experience and technology, Luo Yu himself is completely unable to show the resilience and ability that a "protagonist" should have.
But if the halo given to his protagonist by "Heavenly Reason" is originally weak, it seems to make sense.
Judging from the time, the plot of Hualan Empire must have started later than that of Night Sin City. When Shen He's family was destroyed, Luo Yu was still wearing crotchless pants.
Obviously the last experiment failed, so a new restart was carried out.
This also resulted in Luo Yu's aura as the protagonist being weaker than Shen He's. Xu Shi guessed that even if he didn't come, his future path might not be as smooth as imagined, and he might have to change from a cool novel to a sad novel. I can't tell you the route either.
But this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is this piece of information - the strength of "Tianli" is not as good as before!After reacting, others also appeared very happy, especially Jiang Chengcheng, whose joy almost overflowed.
Her personality is different from others, and her attitude towards "natural principles" is actually not that resistant, or in other words, she doesn't care.
All she cared about was Xu Shi, who obeyed his words and was willing to work hard for his goals.
Now that she heard the good news about Xu Shili, she was of course happier than anyone else.
"Should we speed it up?"
While he was overjoyed, Jiang Chengcheng did not forget to remind him, "While the "natural law" is weak, we can speed up our own improvement and further increase our advantages. "
"of course."
Xu Shi looked at her and smiled and said, "Second Madam, you are so good at talking."
In a sense, what they are doing is still "narrowing the gap with "natural law"", and "increasing advantages" is obviously a more boastful rhetoric.
But putting the same thing in another way can boost everyone's morale, and he feels more comfortable listening to it.
On the one hand, narrowing the gap is also because he actually understands that "Tianli" may not have been hit by the raging "Rust Mist" to the point of collapse. On the contrary, it is more likely that their development speed cannot catch up with the expansion of "Rust Mist" for the time being. Just speed.
Once they can deal with it, I am afraid that the things Xu Shi will face will be more difficult - if the bottom line of "natural law" returns to normal, I am afraid that he, the rebel, will inevitably be liquidated, and it will be difficult for him. Make sure you can block the opponent's mechanical deity's ultimate killing move.
"It seems that we have to go back early, and some deployments cannot be carried out until we go back."
He suppressed his smile and said seriously, "The same applies to existing research."
"OK."
Everyone is well aware of this, and it is more reliable to carry out strategic deployment in the base camp. Even though the Hualan Empire is gradually taking the shape of Xu Shi, it still needs a certain process.
In comparison, this place may be more like a backup base, or a kind of guaranteed back-up - as long as "the laws of nature" do not change the decision to abandon this place, this is a paradise where no one cares.
After a few more rambles, everyone dispersed to rest - this experiment did not last long, but the harvest it brought required everyone to digest it.
Xie Qingyan and Jiang Chengcheng have nothing to worry about anymore. They just want to have a good sleep now.
But it's not good. For this experiment, the two girls couldn't close their eyes after busying themselves. Even if they really had the intention, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the energy.
How can we still have the energy to do extra physical work? We are not old scalpers.
Even if it is true, isn't there an old saying that there is no tilled land, only exhausted cows?
snort!
Thinking of this, Xie Xiaowu, who was prone to losing his temper, couldn't help pinching him for a long time and giving him a slap in the face.
Facing her aggrieved look, Boss Xu just raised his hands in surrender and let her vent her anger.
The final result was that he became a loner for a short time - even his young apprentice Pan Ling slipped away first, and she very wisely went to handle other trivial matters for the master.
They are also very busy, okay?
Faced with such an ending, Xu Shi could only lament that his disciple was too old to stay, and happily walked towards the door.
then.
He saw Qin Yiyan guarding here.
The silly red-haired girl has actually been here all along - Xu Shi said she could come anytime she wanted to listen, but she didn't refuse.
It's just that she still has a little bit of pride, and she can't be in the same room with other people and "examine" them openly for a long time, so she has no choice but to resort to the method of picking corners as usual.
Others had already said hello for a long time, so I wasn't surprised by this, but I didn't really care.
Xu Shi looked her up and down, wondering whether to let her play the role of a maid and carry him to the bedroom.
Qin Yiyan ignored his gaze and looked straight back.
Maybe this look was too fiery, and Boss Xu frowned when they looked at each other.
"What are you doing?"
"...I heard everything you said just now."
Qin Yiyan's answer was not what he asked.
"so?"
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows. This is all the result of my buddy allowing you to eavesdrop. Do you still want to take credit?No salary increase.
"So I'm curious."
The silly red-haired girl frowned, "You... why do you have to choose the path of clearing the "divine breath"? "
There is nothing wrong with dealing with "natural principles", not to mention Xu Shi, she has this idea now herself, and again, no one is willing to accept a life that is controlled.
but.
Clearing the "Rust Mist" and fighting the "Heavenly Law" are not causally related. They are two independent things. Xu Shi always puts them together, which makes everyone ignore them.
Qin Yiyan, a bystander, was rarely sober.
After all, in her eyes, Xu Shi had a strong purpose in doing things and was ambitious.
For such a person, clearing the "rust fog" is a thankless task - the resources and energy required to invest are astronomical, but doing so also means that he is willing to voluntarily give up part of his own advantages.
Instead of eliminating "rust fog", wouldn't it be better to monopolize the technology in this area?
She tried to think about the problem in Xu Shi's way.
"You...really willing?"
The family members are ok, but the strained shoulder still hurts a lot.
