At the beginning, Joshua had great expectations for the rebels of Siberia, that is, the superpower group because of the unknown mechanic.
The blood-stained diary recorded the thoughts and conclusions of the unknown technician for more than 20 years. Joshua learned from it that the Xibeiya man was a man who had a profound study of technology, could create soul puppets, and could manipulate souls. A great civilization that has undergone precise transformation, their research on the soul is no less than that of Mycroft's world, to the point where it can be called art - although this art is used on their own heads, but what can they do?
There are countless works created by imagining the destruction of the world by highly intelligent artificial intelligence. Even in the Mycroft continent, some alchemists called on spellcasters to be wary of the abuse of highly intelligent artificial souls. At the beginning of his arrival, Qiao Xiuya felt that the world of Hyboria was just such a world. The soul puppet defeated his parent body, the Hyborians, and used it as a material and tool for its own reproduction. It was a typical civilization that was destroyed by its own creation.
In contrast, the beings recorded in the unknown mechanic's book who fought against the soul puppets, in Joshua's guess, should be the remnants of the civilization of the former Sibiya people. They should have the same technology and culture, otherwise they would not be the same. Being able to fight with each other all year round, in his imagination - or rather, in the imagination of the unknown mechanic, the Sibiya rebel group should be a 'civilization'.
But this kind of imagination is gradually changing bit by bit as Joshua's understanding of the world deepens.
At the beginning, it was a soul test of young children in the garden: based on the fact that the young children could also play and sing nursery rhymes, Joshua felt that the raised Sibiya people should have maintained the most basic civilization, but then he discovered that those There are no continuous memory fragments in the children's brains, almost blank. Their singing and playing are completely similar to controlling puppets, just like today's soldiers control the body of an unknown technician boy.
The second change was leaving the garden area. After entering the breeding area, Joshua immediately discovered that the air in this world was extremely bad, and could even be said to be very unsuitable for life to survive. As for why such an environment was formed, he had seen similar causes in the memory of the Sixth Abyss. It was definitely a brutal and unusual war that could even ravage the world to such an extent. This was also consistent with the speculation that the Soul Puppet and the Sibiya people had once launched a war.
However, can such a harsh environment really sustain the consumption of a large civilization? Joshua once looked down from the highest point of the world, and he knew clearly that there were only sporadic green dots in the entire world, and there was no large-scale suitable living environment.
The third time was the moment when the 'Magic Arrow' shot at countless civilians after the battle was almost over.
From that moment on, Joshua clearly understood that his imagination of the remaining Siberian civilization was completely wrong.
For a civilization, population may occasionally be a burden, but it is definitely not a disadvantage. If you want to support a complete knowledge system and a cultural society, you must have enough people.
If there is a civilization that is also proficient in souls behind the team of Sibiya superpowers, then they must know that those ordinary people who are stunned can be redeemed, just like the nameless technician, who is not only proficient in repair technology, but can even repair it after a long period of time. Their mental work trains their souls. In this case, in the long run, they will certainly not choose to destroy the resources in the enemy's hands, but try to get these resources into their own hands.
This is why Joshua said that he had thought about many reasons for their massacre, but he had never thought of the reason for the race: after all, maybe the Siberian civilization behind the team does not need these people at the moment? But even if it is not necessary, race will never be used as an excuse, but war, unbearable and other reasons will be used.
But it turns out that everything is similar to another speculation, that is, there is no nameless technician and the 'civilization' imagined by Joshua behind the Sibiya superpower team.
Because of the unknown technician, Joshua had too much expectations for the rebels in Siberia. It was only just now that he finally understood that these seemingly spiritual rebels were actually just escapees from the soul puppets. The gathering of rebels was not an army or a special force of the Siberian civilization at all. It was not until Chariot personally told him his knowledge of the resistance that Joshua could clearly understand this fact and erase it. My own wrong imagination.
anger? dissatisfied? They are all gone. Joshua is just lost now, and still has some regrets, because the mother body of the Hyborian civilization has most likely been completely destroyed, and what is left is just a group of fugitives without civilization, history, and inheritance.
They can't even understand the word 'history', even if Joshua uses spiritual resonance, there is no way, because there is no past and history in their language and their concepts... Their living conditions are too harsh and terrible. The environment, the siege by robots, and their lack of understanding of themselves... They should really not know that ordinary people can be saved, and they don't know that those people are just like them... And under their conditions, even if they are saved There are no resources to cultivate anymore, because they themselves need to rob the soul puppet garden to survive.
The Siberian resistance can't even be called a nomad. They are just a group of homeless fugitives without any ability or opportunity to produce new things. Their future is bleak. They have no other choice but to live like this, but they can only I can go on like this.
It was only now that Joshua had a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Sibiya world, so he said the three sentences before.
"You are not human." "You are not human." "You are not human."
Whether they are soul puppets, ordinary people of Siberia, or Siberia's super-powerful resistance forces, they are incomplete as civilized individuals if they are put forward alone. Soul puppets have the ability to reconstruct planting areas, produce food, and repair the world in a desolate world. capabilities, but they are rigid puppets without humanity and intelligence. They act according to orders and rules. Most of their technologies should come from the pre-Siberian civilization, and there is no future at all.
The Siberian Psychic Resistance has shown obvious communicability and intelligence. Their actions are quite organized and they have even learned to work as a team. However, as a fledgling group of escapees deformed by oppression, they have not produced anything. ability, and don’t even know their relationship with ordinary people. In fact, even nomads can produce. They are still civilization, but their efficiency is not high. The existence of the resistance is just existence, let alone civilization. They It is now in danger and may be destroyed at any time.
Ordinary people in Hyboria are even more like farmed livestock. They have no intelligence, and their ability to think and associate is blocked. They don’t even have the freedom to choose death. What kind of human beings are they
The above three are all torn and broken, and cannot be regarded as complete intelligent and civilized individuals. Joshua's evaluation of them is objectively stated facts. He did not insult anyone, nor did he intend to express his own opinions. Anger, on the contrary, he even extinguished the anger caused by the 'magic arrow' killing a large number of Hyborians... because they really had no choice, and for a group of people fleeing at the end of the road, this was the only option.
The soil of civilized spirit no longer exists, how can we demand morality at this time
Of course, these are temporary views.
Joshua did not rule out the possibility that he would discover some new information later, which could change all impressions from beginning to end, because there were many doubts now, such as where did those square communications buildings in the garden area lead to? You know, those are just simple information transfer stations, without a central core for thinking. If this is the case, then who is the one who gives the soul puppet the task
The team system of the Sibiya Resistance Army is very complete. There are attackers, defenders, long-range and large-scale attackers, fortification and blasting, transportation means, invisible assistants and spiritual unlockers. This team system is too mature. , Joshua believes that there are definitely a few people in the resistance army who are similar to the unknown mechanics, who have the knowledge of civilization inherited from the previous generation of Sibiya people.
"It's so complicated."
Sighing, Joshua raised his head. Through the direction of the flow of wind and clouds, and the comparison of the surrounding environment when he fell from the sky, he immediately judged where he was: located on the southeastern edge of the world of Hyboria. So, he immediately lowered his head and looked towards the northwest of the world, which was the direction of the spiral tower and the countless steel buildings.
The center of the world where the Spiral Tower is located is the only place in the entire Hyborian world with large-scale man-made buildings. If we say that there may be a truly perfect civilization somewhere, then it must be there. If we say, there may be a steel python thousands of years ago. The only historical record of the time when Hyboria was kicked out of the world can be found there.
Logically speaking, he should leave now, but it's not yet time. Joshua looked around, and he saw people from the Siberia Super Team standing in front of him. Their expressions were nervous and awkward... They actually didn't understand what Joshua said before, because of their language. In fact, it was very imperfect. They only knew that the seemingly powerful young man in front of them—they thought Joshua's carbon-based puppet was the real body—seemed to be very dissatisfied with himself.
But Joshua is no longer dissatisfied. If he was angry because his expectations were too high, now that he knows the miserable truth behind the resistance, he naturally has no expectations... Nothing. Expectation, naturally no emotion. At this time, Joshua was just a little regretful. He sighed and said, "Do you want to go to the Garden District to save those children?"
"Go ahead, right there."
The huge metal puppet turned sideways slightly to make way. Joshua waved his hands casually. Immediately, the remains of countless soul puppets on the ground were moved to both sides, leaving a way. At this time, due to the power of the warrior, , the seven people headed by Chariot did not dare to say anything like solicitation anymore, but swallowed and ran quickly towards the garden area. The eyes of the thin boy among them, who was called 'Pegasus', lit up again. Green light, the speed of the super team suddenly accelerated a lot.
Looking at the backs of the departing superpowers, Joshua turned around, and then slowly walked towards the edge of the breeding area, the huge black wall. He walked very slowly, because every time the warrior's footsteps fell, , all the soul puppet wreckage on the ground will shake slightly. He takes a step forward, and the wreckage seems to be dragged, moving one step forward. Joshua takes two steps forward, and suddenly there are countless soul puppets in the wreckage that can no longer be used. The metal fell off to the ground. As Joshua walked forward step by step, various unqualified metal materials left the queue being dragged.
When Joshua reached the gap in the huge wall, only a piece weighing less than half a ton of high-grade alloys and precious metals selected from the remains of countless soul puppets was left. Under the transformation of some powerful force, this piece of half a ton The silver and semi-green metal block turned into a ring, slowly floating and rotating behind Joshua's puppet body. On the metal ring, inscriptions appeared one after another in the air, strange power was generated, and huge buoyancy was generated. Make the extremely heavy puppet body float up.
Joshua's height slowly increased. He was still walking forward step by step, as if walking on an air staircase. He rose to an altitude of 700 meters and looked into the distance.
Then, he saw what he had sensed on the ground.
At the end of the horizon, the smoke and dust rise like a giant pillar bearing the sky... and there is an extremely cold metallic light flashing in the smoke and dust.
To be honest, it's a good thing that you are willing to discuss the plot, but I hope book friends can be more rational. It is impossible for Joshua to clearly understand the truth of the world with the same background as reading and reading games, and it is impossible for me to write all his psychology. , his understanding of Hyborian civilization comes from the nameless mechanic, and the nameless mechanic is an extraordinary special case... If you have any doubts, I hope you can read the next few chapters, just start scolding, or keep arguing, it is really meaningless, because if you read it carefully , you know that I did not belittle the rebels. I wrote their reasons very fully, and I did not discredit them. Otherwise, you would not speak for the rebels. It’s just that at that time, Joshua didn’t know what was behind the rebels. He guessed that the situation was a civilization, but in fact it was not. Just such a small error in understanding can cause a huge cognitive difference.
This time I have explained most of the foreshadowing. If you still don’t understand, you can consider joining the group: 606962637
