"What are you doing?" A voice sounded in my ear, and my hair was itchy on my neck. "If you are free, accompany me to buy a pillow today. The one before was blown up."
"Write a review." Ed typed attentively, "Amuro will be here starting tomorrow, and I'll be very busy later. Try to write the review today. You have to bring the pillow on board."
"What's wrong? Who to check?"
"Pride and underestimate the enemy, empiricism, review it with myself." He turned away from the keyboard, "Just in time to discuss with you, speaking out will also help me organize my thoughts."
"Okay." CC took advantage of the situation to sit on the bed, grabbed Ed's pillow and hugged him in his arms.
"Yesterday's rescue operation suddenly exposed a lot of problems. It turns out that staying in the laboratory all the time will make people's vision narrow, and real knowledge can only be realized in practice." Ed picked up the tablet and tapped lightly on it with the tip of the electronic pen. "The most serious problem is that out of some preconceived knowledge, I have almost superstitious trust in the Moonlight Butterfly. The Moonlight Butterfly is very powerful, but it does not mean that I am very powerful. The moon is indeed safe, but it does not mean that I It's safe, or, as long as you and I continue to interact, it's impossible to stay on the moon forever."
"So what? Decided to cut ties with me?"
"So if you are not powerful, you must become powerful. If you are not safe, you must find a way to ensure safety. Besides, the Moonlight Butterfly is not necessarily invincible. If someone really wants to get out of a railgun, Roland may not have time." The corner of the mouth of the person in front of him raised a subtle Radian, "What are you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh, I just thought it was very valuable to be bombed yesterday."
"So nothing is absolutely independent, the moon is not, and neither am I. Contradiction is the universal connection between things, and the inner basis for the development of things. It is as if Schneider and Cone tacitly acquiesced in your existence, the other The prince - Clovis as you presume, but it doesn't matter, he's dead - is stalking you. The shareholders are profiting from Anaheim, and they themselves represent a certain power. The two sides of the conflict are both antagonistic and unified, It's what drives things forward." Ed was immersed in his own world talking to himself, not seeing the surprised look on CC's face.
"For another example, it was accidental that you were arrested by this prince this time, but the contradiction between you and Britannia is inevitable. The inevitability determines the basic direction of the development of things, and it is manifested by some accident, while The two are equally opposites.”
"You... where did you learn this?" CC looked a little shaken.
"I listened carefully even in politics class, don't I teach it now?" Ed showed a nostalgic smile, "This is my full exercise of my most basic right as a person - knowing the world, subconsciously The first and only methodology I came up with turned out to be surprisingly easy to use. It seems that I don’t have the qualifications to teach the truth, can I open a study group or something?”
"Is this the real you?" CC's voice was soft.
"I don't know either, but at least it's a part of me, a very important part. Self-awareness is something... Knowing something doesn't mean you can understand it." He tried hard to find a different word to describe it. himself, but failed shamefully, "probably I'm still a paramecium, with a little self-awareness of paramecium."
"Isn't this a little progress?" CC loosened the pillow that was so tight that it was deformed. "So, what are you going to do with so much reasoning?"
"First of all, we must recognize the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction of things. From my point of view, the main contradiction is the contradiction between my weak self-defense ability and the increasingly complex social relations, and we and Britannia-Suzaku Maybe not dead, this matter will be exposed sooner or later - the contradiction between them is a secondary contradiction." Ed said as he recorded on the tablet, "The two are interconnected, affect each other, and are the unity of opposites."
"You started again."
"Ah, sorry. I just never thought that knowledge like this would suddenly be able to be used. It makes me a little excited. Should I do two advanced math problems to calm down."
This meme CC unexpectedly understands, but this is a cosmic century ago, wait, what he said just now is not...
"Our danger is that I will be more and more on the cusp of what will happen, and we have the possibility of retaliation by Britannia. Our need is to build a certain self-defense ability and have a certain crisis management ability .Our resources are advanced science and technology and certain funds."
"so?"
"So we don't have to cross the river by feeling the stones, we can learn from the advanced experience of others. Don't you think there is a person who is in a similar situation to us?" Ed didn't give a shit, "Siegel Klein."
Siegel Klein has little money as an Anaheim shareholder, and he has made many personal enemies. On the one hand, his daughter can bring him a lot of convenience, and on the other hand, it restrains his weakness. Thinking of Lux's "later period" of inheriting her political legacy, she was both a battleship and a high-tech MS. Wasn't it the result of her father's grass-snake-grey line for a thousand miles? I don't need to go to war on both sides like her, I just need to learn his father's ideas.
"Don't think about it, you can't afford a fleet with that little money." CC seemed to be tired from sitting and lay down on his side, "It's enough to keep a fully equipped warship, and the maintenance fee for this kind of big toy is not supported by taxes. I'm sorry, not to mention that you are still throwing money into the bottomless pit of scientific research. Or do you have some private money that I don't even know about?"
"There is no need to raise a fleet, and it is of no use at all." Of course there is private money, but it is a drop in the bucket, and there is no need to discuss it now, "During the One-Year War, Amuro and Kira were the only two Destroyed a fleet. Last year's Stardust Incident, dendrobium and sour berries were like a no-man's land in the army. If there is no out-of-spec interference, I can achieve a similar effect with silver mines. This kind of In the nonsense world view, what am I doing with the troops?"
"In this nonsense worldview..." Now I don't even bother to pretend, and CC is getting used to it.
"I don't mean to complain about being unscientific or something, and I've become accustomed to it for so many years. To understand the world, we must emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, and talk about logic on the basis of acknowledging objective existence." Ed stood up subconsciously and paced, "Since there is such a In fact, there must be an objective law to realize it. What I have to do is to find this law and use it.”
"The father of Gundam said Gundam is unscientific..." CC chuckled, "Have you found it?"
"When I designed the RX-78-2, the federation's appeal was that ordinary MSs were too indistinguishable and not as powerful as the enemy, so I designed various parameters according to my own physical ability. This kind of thing has strong performance, but Naturally, ordinary soldiers can't drive, or if ordinary soldiers can drive Gundam, they won't be much better than Jim." He paced in circles in the bedroom, dazzling CC, "The white devil Only Amuro can exert its performance, Amuro becoming its driver is accidental and inevitable, this is the unity of opposites—”
"—Stop, you're starting again."
"I was a little confused at first, but I figured it out when I met Suzaku yesterday." He held up the electronic pen and watched it sway up and down, and didn't mind CC's interruption, "You said that Suzaku's inhuman physical quality and reaction ability can What are you doing? If you are unarmed, you can hit ten or twenty, which is amazing. If you let the cold weapon age, you can be regarded as a fierce general. But when you drive Lancelot, not to mention destroying the fleet, no one can stop it. right?"
"Elitism?"
"Elitism is the conclusion, not the reason. The key is what led to elitism, and why did all the forces spare no effort to develop such high-performance weapons that only a few people can use, and why are these people able to use these weapons so impressively? Victory. I don’t know what other people think, but we have to look at the essence through phenomena, or in other words, forcibly find a plausible reason for the way the world is constructed.”
"The way this world is made..."
"For example, Xiaohua and Xiaoming went to the exam. Everyone made zero mistakes. Xiaohua scored 100% on the test, and Xiaoming scored 95 points. It seems that their level is only five points away." Ed tried to give one that he thought was the most simple. For example, this is the result of his thinking all night last night, "But what if this paper has 10,000 points? Xiao Ming can still only get 95 points on the test, but Xiao Hua may get 200 points on the test, or 8,000 or 9,000 points. ."
"I won't say how the strange names like Xiaohua and Xiaoming came from." CC thought about it and probably followed his rhythm, "Zagu and Jim are 100% papers, your Yinlei or Lan Slot is a 10,000-point test?"
"That's right. Gundam, or anything like that, is like an amplifier that can reflect the real gap between people, which is normal. The problem is in this world, the gap between people It is so big that one person can control a battle. In other words, this is a qualitative change that has caused a quantitative change. Of course, individual high-end combat power can only determine the outcome of local battles and campaigns, and the federation still relies on infinity Endless resources pile up the adjusters, this is the qualitative change caused by the quantitative change, the two are still opposites and unity, and they are inside and outside each other. You see, the circle is complete."
"… "
"This is the most reasonable explanation I can find in this world. If it is packaged in a more accustomed way, Gundam can release the possibility of human beings."
"…I never thought about that, it's a matter of course for me, for everyone I know. What an amazing experience..." CC stared at the ceiling for a moment, then sat up Come, "We don't have the ability and don't need the amount. To protect ourselves, we just need to choose our position carefully and get the quality that can affect the local struggle. So the conclusion is that you want to build a Gundam, kidnap a few ACEs, and finally hold the moon's thigh?"
"It doesn't matter that the conclusion is simple, what matters is whether I got it the right way."
"It's cliché to just look at the conclusion, but the argumentation process..."
"If I were to wear... ahem, of course it wouldn't be so troublesome if I was born in the house of some member of the general. Farming fields, violent soldiers, climbing technology, and pushing all the way, but we can only do this first with our current strength." Ed finally turned tired. He sat back in his seat, "You said just now that our money is enough to support a ship? That's right, we bought a warship, dismantled the conspicuous artillery, changed the power and modified armor to keep the fireworks unchanged, and then spent some money to register it as a cargo ship, etc. It's a non-military ship. It's easy to run away in the future, and it's also easy to recover equipment from Silver Thunder. I've been picking up parts this time around."
"Registered as a cargo ship... Why are you so skilled. Besides, do you have so much time? Amuro Ray will be here tomorrow."
"... don't you have it?"
There was an embarrassing silence. Could it be that he was being self-indulgent
"Okay, I have. It's not very peaceful to return to Earth recently." Feeling a little embarrassed, CC thought, "I can also be a supervisor for your new toy. You can recruit people in the name of bodyguards, but what about the candidates? "
"I thought about it, it's better to have a military background, extraordinary skills, MS driving skills to the ACE level, not recruited by any forces, unhappy, and at the same time, it is better to cultivate loyalty with a simple mind."
"...You're dreaming." CC paused, "Okay, Brother Asuka should be one of them, I know why you're so enthusiastic about him. Any more?"
"There must be." Ed carefully recalled all the people he knew and "knowing", "I remember that the Green Hat King is about to be released from prison?"
