207. The double-edged sword of science and technology
Scott's head hung so low that he touched his chest, frustrated like a defeated rooster, and Shen Yun couldn't even confirm whether he had listened to his metaphor of the paver.
But after a few minutes, he suddenly looked up, scratched an Oriental hair like a startled start, and said, "I admit that what you said is not unreasonable, and I will call Robert to explain." But the success of the portable Hadron Collider means that humanity will soon be able to use it for the benefit of many things, such as antimatter can be used to produce propulsion fuel for the space shuttle, and can also be used to cure cancer for patients in medicine. Why don't you want to think about it, when God created man, he knew that man is good and evil, but he still created man? ”
Theoretical physicists use God as a metaphor, no matter how they hear it, it feels awkward, but Shen Yun can understand Scott's intentions, not only can he understand his mood from his standpoint.
So she has a different perspective on this innovation than Robert: Robert sees a negative side, and this negativity completely overwhelms Scott's perfect image in his mind. But Shen Yun's respect for Scott has added a few points, this respect is completely different from the worry about the future of mankind, she understands that technology is not a knife, but a double-edged sword, and it is difficult to predict which blade the earthlings are willing to wield when facing other civilizations parallel to the earth's civilization.
Scott wanted to have dinner with Shen Yun, but she didn't accept his invitation. It's not that she doesn't want to, but the international joint military exercises in all C fields of the Light Continent are about to kick off, and she must rush back to the first regiment of the Chinese Space Force.
"Child, this military exercise should be thought-provoking. The vacuum tube of the hadron collider can't kill people, but the barrel can. When Shen Yun was sent to board the capsule tram, Scott said this to her.
Back in the first group, Shen Yun went back to the dormitory first. She didn't need to pick up anything, she just wanted to find a quiet place to spend some time alone to clear her mind.
However, less than five minutes after holding his knees and retracting into the sofa, the alarm outside the window sounded deafeningly, it was a long and two short emergency assembly orders, and the international space force military exercise began to be combined!
At the same time, the migratory bird plan for the earthlings to migrate underground is in full swing. Because of the excellent preparation and the active participation of governments in coordination, it is hard to imagine how smoothly this unprecedented movement of all mankind has unbelievably carried out.
The organizations had been informed in advance of the need to prevent the resurrection from causing disturbances and hindering the relocation plans, but no one had seen the resurrection appear since the first settlers entered the bomb shelters. For some reason, those hateful creatures playfully made way for the migrating army.
Chen Tongzhong, the mayor of Natalie Town, returned to Suifenhe City with a heavy heart after completing the task of going to Beijing to deliver a "watch" to Shen Yun, renting a simple house and doing nothing all day long.
At this time, he felt more relaxed than he had ever been, because what Qu Zhaodi asked him to hand over seemed to be the last burden on his shoulders, once it was unloaded, there was no weight in the world that needed to be shared by him, as long as he wanted, he could chase after his dead wife and children at any time, as well as the unjustly killed townspeople of Natalie Town.
After a period of time like a walking corpse, suicidal thoughts shuttled through his mind like a strange devil every day, shattering Chen Tongzhong's soul.
Packs of cigarettes and bottles of two-pot heads gave him the feeling that he was still alive, but they consumed the last bit of energy in his body. He hoped that it wouldn't be long before these two things would help him fulfill his wish to meet the deceased.
But to his great surprise, soon after returning from Beijing, the world fell into a chaos even more terrible than his heart. Because he never watched TV, he never understood what the people on the street outside were clamoring about. Finally, one day, he had to go out to buy daily necessities, that is, cigarettes and alcohol, and the words "bomb shelter" kept coming to his ears and eyes.
When he arrived at the small supermarket and took the things he urgently needed and went to the cashier to pay the bill, the proprietress took the initiative to strike up with him: "Which batch do you arrange for them?" There are no old people at home who are reluctant to leave to do ideological work, right? Hey, I can't imagine that in the lifetime of our generation, we can also encounter troubled times! ”
"What batch? What troubled times? Chen Tongzhong was puzzled when he heard this, and glared at the proprietress in puzzlement, and the unshaven appearance of the woman startled the woman.
"You...... You can't be an alien, right? Otherwise, how could you not even know that such a big thing was happening around you? The proprietress trembled with thick lips.
"Aliens?!"
This word made Chen Tongzhong understand everything, and it also awakened the hatred buried in his heart in an instant. Without asking, he hurried back to the messy nest with his things and unscrewed the dusty television.
The news on the hour is halfway through the broadcast, in fact, it is still news after this, but it is just a different column name.
On the TV screen, no matter what level of the police department, there are convenient windows set up outside the gate, there are long queues of people in front of each window, people holding ID cards or household registration books, anxiously waiting for their turn to get a color card with numbers written on it, in addition to the numbers, the staff will also help them print their names and ID numbers on the spot, as well as the specific time and waiting place for the migration.
The traffic on the street is also unprecedentedly busy, and even a small city like Suifenhe has played a big traffic jam like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. All public transport is staggered, even if the overloaded traffic police are not so strict, as long as it can ensure that nothing happens, the most important thing is to transport people away.
"The appearance of the birdman that night was indeed an official declaration of war on the earth! In less than a few days, the earth is in real chaos! ”
Chen Tongzhong thought desperately, laboriously unscrewed the cap of the second pot head, and wanted to pour wine into his mouth.
But the action stopped in mid-air, and he suddenly lost the desire to drink, but suddenly got up, grabbed his coat, wrapped it around his body and rushed out, but when he came to the door, he turned back, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find his ID card, and then rushed out of the door.
Chen Tongzhong decided to go underground, he imagined the air-raid shelter as the tomb he had been looking forward to, and he originally thought that only the tomb could give people permanent peace, but now he found that the tomb has become the most noisy, noisy, and the most unlikely place to get peace.
The word "revenge" once firmly occupied his entire heart, acting as the only driving force for him to live, although he knew that with his meager strength alone, let alone killing aliens, even the resurrected could not deal with it.
He often recalled what Qu Zhaodi had said, hoping that the young man was not comforting him, but could really give the alien a little color, could it be that now, the moment he was looking forward to had come?
