The miner took a sip of coffee, closed his eyes as if he was trying to figure out his words, and said after a while:
"Actually, it was not a coincidence that I met you. I wonder if you believe this sentence?"
Sheyan frowned and said:
"How to say?"
The miner said:
"We are all affiliated to the empire. Although we are limited by the confidentiality agreement, it is still tacit to want to unite, especially under the deliberate promotion of the empire. In addition, we can get first-hand data , So, seventeen months ago, I found out that your Dow Jones index line has risen very alarmingly... "
"Wait!" Sheyan said dumbfounded, "If I remember correctly, isn't the Dow Jones index used in stocks?"
The miner smiled:
"Yes, but the colleague who happened to build this set of databases also has the same name as him, so I used it by the way-this system can provide a specific rough assessment of the contractor's own strength improvement coefficient after entering each world. Under normal circumstances, when you first enter, the strength of the surviving contractors will improve quite quickly, but the subsequent improvement rate often cannot exceed the threshold of 9%."
Sheyan's eyes flickered for a moment:
"So, what's my upward arc?"
"The comprehensive evaluation is 18.4%. You can also understand that every time you go through five worlds, your strength will be almost doubled." The miner said seriously. "This data is almost the best result except for the apostles."
"Almost?" Sheyan narrowed his eyes and said, "In other words, is there anyone else who is better?"
The miner smiled wryly and said:
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to say it, but that I can't."
As he spoke, he simulated the appearance of a pistol with his right hand, and then pointed it at his head:
"I believe that your combat department also has certain restrictions. For example, in the world you originally lived in, using the active ability obtained from space should have very serious consequences. The same is true for us. Once it is leaked, the brain It will explode like being hit by a .78 diameter steel core bullet in the front, so in order not to create more work pressure for our sanitation workers, why don't we change the topic?"
Sheyan shrugged and said:
"Okay, I understand your difficulties, so the one you guys are after me... After the Dow Jones index is good, you start to approach me actively?"
"Yes." The miner said: "Because according to our inference, you have more than 80% chance of being the chosen one in the legend... Your innate ability is even useful for space!"
Fang Sheyan smiled, but did not comment on the miner's statement, but picked up a pot of coffee, sipped it slowly and said:
"The chosen ones are nothing special. They also need the protection of people to grow."
If Fang Senyan's team members heard this sentence, they must know that he was talking about Sanzai, and even Sanzai himself would not say that this sentence was wrong, but it only fell into the miner's ears. When he was the default, he smiled and said:
"The selected ones can get preferential treatment in space, so they must have a deeper understanding of inside information, and they will get more preferential treatment when they cooperate. This is the fundamental reason why I found you for in-depth cooperation."
Sheyan glanced at the miner, and suddenly said:
"What is your relationship with the Big Ben Institute?"
The expression on the miner's face froze immediately, and he waited for a long time before saying:
"What do you mean by asking that question?"
Sheyan said directly:
"I don't say I know the inside of the empire well, but I also know everything about it. How can people like you escape the pervasive investigation of the Big Ben Research Institute?"
The miner was silent for a while and said:
"We were all chess pieces of the Big Ben Research Institute, but now we are completely at odds with them."
"Why?" Sheyan wondered.
The miner said lightly:
"Although we will get the blessing of space, the majesty of the royal family is above us. They have captured our family members and asked us to reveal all the secrets, but the only end of doing so is headshot... But If you don't say anything, then the whole family will die, so those of us who are still alive are cold-blooded bastards who value our own lives more than the whole family, and are also the sworn enemies of the Big Ben Research Institute!"
Fang Senyan realized something:
"Understood."
The miner looked at Sheyan and said seriously:
"The people in the Big Ben Research Institute are ruthless. They only serve the royal family of the empire. In order to achieve their goals, they will do whatever they can. If you plan to cooperate with them, then you are undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger."
Sheyan nodded and said:
"I see... well, what do you want to know?"
…
"Nightmare Dimensions... Or to be precise, these Noah Dimensions. What do you think they are? Machinery? Creatures? Or existences that we cannot understand?"
This is the sentence that the miner asked Sheyan most impressed him.
Sheyan had no way to answer the miner at that time. Because this is still an area he has never thought about and never touched. The miner obviously didn't expect Sheyan to answer, so he told him simply:
"According to the results of our research, Noah's space should be a very strange biological existence of mechanical flesh and blood. It has a strong self-healing ability, but in some key aspects of the mechanical structure, it needs assistants. help, as if crocodiles need toothpick birds to help them clean their mouths.”
"According to the original setting, this kind of assistant should be produced by the master who designed or created Noah's space at the same time. The two should be a symbiotic existence similar to ants and aphids. The ants protect the safety of the aphids, and the feces of the aphids It is a delicacy for ants—but, for some reason, this kind of assistant did not appear. Therefore, in order to avoid its own destruction, Noah’s space, which has a high degree of intelligence and autonomy, began to manufacture and strengthen human beings according to its own instinct. At the same time, it also began to Actively select the contractor who can replace the assistant, this is the origin of the selected person."
After hearing the miner's analysis, Fang Senyan immediately judged that what he said was definitely not a lie, because the words were reasonable and detailed, and those who did not have a deep understanding of certain situations would definitely not be able to tell them.
So Sheyan reciprocated and told some of his experiences. After thinking for a while, the miner said:
"Since we can be sure that space is a strange life form, and its power is amazing, and it can even travel back in the long river of time, so it can basically be inferred that the energy it consumes is also extremely terrifying. According to the principle of energy conservation , the space should also absorb quite terrifying substances from the outside world to maintain its activities and life needs."
"That's right." Sheyan nodded and said, "As far as I know, the empire will provide space with an astonishing amount of ores, fuels, and various products."
The miner smiled, that smile made Sheyan feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was mocking you for knowing too little.
"That's just a superficial phenomenon, Mr. Sailor, if you really think that the nightmare space is inseparable from the supply of the empire, you are very wrong! If the space is so easily controlled by the empire, then it has already completely become the empire's supply." The vassals have even been dismantled. In fact, the substances provided by the empire to the space are only equivalent to some condiments in our kitchen. With these things provided by the empire, the space may live more nourishingly. Without these things , the space must be able to survive!!"
Hearing the miner's words, Fang Sheyan's face suddenly changed, because if the miner's information is true, then there must be a problem involved, that is, since there are multiple spaces, if the living resources are limited. Next, it will definitely involve the allocation of survival resources! !
The most intuitive thing is the earth. The emergence of World War I and World War II, when it comes to essence, is still the occupation and allocation of limited resources on the earth! As for the Iraq war that followed, they didn't even want a fig leaf, and went directly to oil!
After thinking of these things, Sheyan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said:
"If your theory is true, then the multiple Noah spaces... are not as peaceful as imagined?"
"Peace?" The miner snorted and said sarcastically: "Mr. Sailor, you should be one of the few people who benefited the most from the space battlefield, right? Why do you have such a naive idea!!!"
"After the contractor dies, it will be reclaimed by the space it belongs to, and after you kill the contractors belonging to the rest of Noah's space, all the rewards you get are precious sources for the Noah space you belong to to consume yourself It can be produced! You can understand the source energy as life force that can be replenished, if it doesn’t maintain the mentality of encouraging you to kill the rest of Noah’s space contractors, why bother so much?”
"Then... what is the intention of the bloody battlefield?" Sheyan couldn't help asking in surprise.
"The low-level bloody battlefield is of course to accelerate the evolution of the contractor." The miner said seriously:
"However, the high-level bloody battlefield has probably changed in nature... You can understand that Noah's space has become a war weapon like an aircraft carrier. It has no attack power or is limited to certain rules. It cannot attack each other. All the lethality lies in the fighter jets it carries. , The strength of different Noah spaces also depends on the strength of the contractors they belong to! If I guessed correctly, the high-level bloody war has become a wrestling field between Noah spaces. The powerful Noah spaces, We will rely on our own strength to obtain more and greater living space and living resources!"
