From the current point of view, Anuza's sister should be the biggest breakthrough in the secrets on this planet. This girl knows much more than we expected at the beginning. She may even know the final fate of some Melovas. The purpose and the like—of course, the last one is my guess, but it is an indisputable fact that Anulili is of great value. So this morning I was thinking about a question: how to win the trust of Anu Lili and make her treat us as her own.
In this regard, Miss Lin's evaluation is: If you dare to use the seduction technique, just wait to be steamed and braised with iron shavings.
You said how did that girl think of these things...
Today's breakfast is still to be settled in Anuza's big house. To be honest, the food in this world is really a challenge for me: I guess for us, everyone except Sandora thinks that thing is a kind of food. challenge. So I got up early and ate something to pad my stomach, and then drank soup again on the grounds of asceticism. Don't tell me, although there is a nerve agent in this thing, it tastes really good. In Sandora's words, it tastes like cocoa. Well, it's a little bit bitter, and Viska doesn't like it very much.
It may be that the taste of "chocolate soup" caught the attention of a certain little bean. When a group of people were eating, I suddenly felt a humming sensation in my chest pocket, and then jingle poked my head out from inside. : "Yeah? It's dawn? It's time for Dingdang to eat! Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Give Ding Dong something to eat!"
Anuza and Anulili were dumbfounded at the time. They stared dumbfounded at a small creature the size of a palm popping out of my pocket, and then watched the little creature jump onto the table with a bang, and trot all the way to the distance. The nearest plate, he took out a spoon the size of an ear-digging spoon from his body, scooped up the soup inside and delivered it to his mouth. Ding Dong was completely unaware of the surrounding environment, happily solving his own breakfast problem, the little thing ran back after half a stomachful of soup, spread a piece of candy paper on the rough wooden tabletop as a tablecloth, and hummed to anyone The little tune that I don't understand put a few pieces of broken biscuits, two raisins, and half a peanut—in this way, the staple food and after-meal fruits are all there. The little thing filled half a "bowl" of soup with a small leaf, and sat in front of the candy paper with a happy face: "Ah Jun said that everything should be kept simple when going out, so this kind of breakfast is very good! Ding Dong is about to start!"
"I... this... you... what is this?!" Anuza grabbed the spoon, his eyes wide open, and he had completely fallen into a state of being unable to react. Quite confused, the result frightened the honest Anuza.
Sandora covered her forehead with a tired face, and sighed: "Oh... you didn't see anything, so keep smiling now."
Anuza's face was stunned, and he ignored the strange little creature on the table for a moment, and lowered his head to eat seriously. Anulili was about to say something, and Sandora also glanced at her: "You didn't see anything, it was all your hallucination just now."
Then the siblings became "normal", and Ding Dang finally woke up from the confused state of just waking up. He looked up and looked around, holding a half-eaten peanut in his hand: "Huh? There is an outsider here. What about it? Ah Jun, is Ding Dong in trouble?"
"...you go ahead and eat," Sandora waved her hand weakly, "Say it before you pop out next time, it's scary."
"Oh," Dingdang nodded confusedly, and then saw a little guy about the same size as himself crawling up on Qianqian's shoulders. The latter had a small half eggshell on his head as a hat, which was borrowed by Qianqian from the little crow. Dingdang immediately became happy, "Little bird! You are here too! Come and eat, Dingdang has raisins here, I can share one with you!"
"Hey!" the mini-Medison yelled happily, and came to the table along the shallow arms like sliding down a slide. She scooped up a "bowl" of soup with her own eggshells, and then ran to Jingdong's sugar paper tablecloth , The two little things just pushed the cup to change: just two raisins. Anuza and Anulili were stunned again. Sandora pressed both hands on her forehead this time, her voice was as weak as if she hadn't slept in twenty days: "What you see are all hallucinations, what are you doing?" Don't even bother..."
"Oh," the expressions on Anuza and Anu Lili's faces became normal again, and then the former scratched her hair, "Why do I feel weird getting up early today... I always feel that I have forgotten something important."
That is, in front of you, there are two small things the size of palms punching two raisins and two bowls of nerve agent. You have to ignore this scene all the time, can you not blame it...
"Speaking of which, how many people are there in this village?" I really couldn't bear this weird atmosphere, so I chose a topic at random, at least distracting Anuza and Anulili from the sense of disobedience in front of them. Attracted from the Internet, Anuza is the village head of this village, I think this topic is a good choice. But what I didn't expect was that Anuza showed a blank look on his face, and then smiled embarrassedly: "How many people? Anyway, there are just a lot of people... I remember there were a lot of people when I was a child, and there are a lot of people now. "
"Eh..." I didn't expect the other party to give such an answer as the village head, and I was a little dumbfounded, "Don't say that you, as the village head, don't even know the number of your own villagers. I think there are at least a few hundred people in this village Well, it’s quite lively when you get up early.”
"Hundreds?" Anuza suddenly looked surprised, and scratched on the table, "You mean the number? Is that more or less?"
To be honest, I was completely dumbfounded at this time. The other party seemed to be talking in a dream, and what he said was completely wrong. I didn't expect that I just wanted to find a topic, and it would turn into such a weird conversation: "Of course it is The number of people, this... you don't know... "
"Anuza," Sandora interrupted me suddenly, "Suppose you have two hundred villagers, and they have doubled due to newborns and migrants, how many villagers do you have now?"
Anuza looked blank, he couldn't understand what Sandora was saying at all.
"Anuza," Miss Lin seemed to be aware of something, her eyes were very serious, "What is two plus four?"
Anuza smiled blankly, and looked at us awkwardly: "Well... are you talking about the customs of your hometown? We don't like this here, the world is so big, and people in every place have different speaking habits. My grandpa didn't lie..."
"Sandora, what's going on?" I asked in the spiritual connection.
"Mathematics has been erased. The Merovas erased the mathematical abilities of these indigenous people. It may be genetic modification, or it may be the shielding effect caused by psychotropic drugs and long-term brainwashing. Anuza is completely unable to think about mathematics. Things, even simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division... Maybe he can only count from one to ten, it's because he has ten fingers... Tch, I know how the Melova people lock the progress of civilization on this planet , the degree of human civilization on this planet is just locked within the number ten. Without mathematics, they cannot manufacture any precision machinery, nor can they observe and record any periodic natural phenomena, and they cannot even produce a calendar. Naturally, there is no Any means that can spread knowledge stably, as long as mathematics is locked, the Melova people can lock the civilization limit of the entire planet without any effort. A race that can only recognize ten numbers will never be able to measure the land under their feet... "
"Damn it... so amazing!" Although I don't have such a brutal knowledge as Sandora, I can still sort out this simple logic. Everyone has been curious about how the Melovas locked down the progress of civilization on this planet: We originally thought it was a relatively violent method, such as prohibiting all new inventions and direct execution (in Anulili’s words, "Take away" and be taken to the Kingdom of God) those natives who occasionally escaped control and developed progressive ideas, but they did not expect them to use such a thorough and efficient method. Indeed, locking mathematics is the best way to lock a civilization's technological progress—unless this civilization has other racial talents to bypass the "mathematics" cornerstone of civilization. And the natives of this planet obviously don't have this kind of talent.
Violence and direct intervention methods can indeed lock the progress of civilization on the planet to a certain extent, but this method will eventually have loopholes. There are always people who are out of control and people who are naturally immune to drugs, and even the controlled natives, There is also a certain ability to think freely. The unconscious actions of these people may lead to the progress of civilization. Even if the progress made unconsciously is inconspicuous, the Melova people must continue to "prune" themselves in order to make the civilization of this planet Precisely locked in a state of ignorance, so they have adopted such an efficient and... destructive method as locking mathematics.
"I'll let the agents on the other two planets check to see if the aborigines there have the same situation, but I don't think there will be any surprises in the answer," Sandora calmly wiped out the twelfth bowl of "Chocolate Soup" , Said in the spiritual connection, "Now two agents have tried to trace the whereabouts of the aborigines who were taken away, but the people who were taken away seem to have been sent to the Melova parent star circle, even with the imperial agents Skills, it is also a bit difficult to sneak into that place quietly... The Melovas have installed a large number of old empire security equipment on their home planet, and the security level will not be much lower than that of Shadow City. Maybe we will finally have to solve this problem ourselves... "
"Ahem." While Sandora and I were secretly discussing these things through a spiritual connection, there was a sudden coughing sound from a girl on the table. I looked up and found that Anulili was looking at this side: I've been talking to Anuza just now, and I ignored her.
"Uh, what's the matter?" I looked at this girl who probably knew a lot of secrets, and wondered if the conversation with Anuza just now aroused her interest
"No, I just suddenly want to know what happened during your journey. I'm very curious about these things... Can you come to my room after dinner? All of you."
"Hey, I'm interested too, I'm interested too," Anuza immediately yelled, "I've been in this village for many years, and I really don't know what the outside world is like, so tell me later... "
"Anuza, you still have work to do." Anu Lili gave her younger brother a serious look. "You are the head of this village. Don't forget what grandpa told you when he left."
Anuza was obediently obeyed by his sister's discipline, and when he heard this, he immediately lowered his head and let out a sigh, concentrating on cooking. Seeing this scene, I showed a knowing smile: I seem to be virtuous in front of the old sister... Is this the fighting power of Yu Jie
Lin Xue winked at me next to me, and I understood what she meant: At this time, Anu Lili asked us to have a private talk with her, it must not be that she is really interested in the so-called travel, she has something to say .
It seems that we inadvertently broke through this girl's warning point, maybe... just when I asked Anuza to count.
After eating, Anuza was sent to work by his sister. Perhaps there are only a few people on the planet who need to be urged to go to work like Anuza. Anuza, who has not been affected by the nerve agent, cannot It is not easy for his sister to hide the truth for so long under such circumstances, and it is not easy to live according to the timetable like ordinary villagers. Of course, the more important thing is that Anuza listens to his sister very much—if Ya is a bear child He was killed by the Melova people before he was about seven years old.
We slipped to the second floor like spies, and a group of people crowded into Anulili's room.
"Can you count?" Anu Lili said straight to the point. She was not polite to us, and she seldom spoke politely. Perhaps this was because she was also a "person with secrets", so there was no need for politeness in her premise.
"More proficient than you think," I nodded. "It seems that this is a very rare talent."
Anulili leaned against the window, looking at the busy and bewildered village outside: "I really don't know where you are from, and how you lack common sense. Don't you find it so obvious... okay , Maybe I was worrying too much, but it seems that my luck is good, you are such a talented person, you will appear in front of me by yourself... You are the second immune person."
We were taken aback for a moment, and then we heard another term we hadn't heard before: second-time immune person, what the hell is this
"Secondary immunity is a rarer mutation than pure immunity to the brainwashing effect of nerve agents, with only a 0.1% chance of occurrence, and more than half of them cannot escape the eyes of those 'gods' alive..." Anuli Li stood up suddenly, rummaged for something in a rattan box that looked like a glove box in the corner of the room, and said, "Because the genetic factors are unstable, and the problem of out-of-control mutations always exists, so they On the basis of genetic factors, the whole family takes nerve agents to achieve more stable control. The nerve agents have two functions. The first is to promote brainwashing and eliminate ordinary people's doubts about "God". The second is to take effect once in the infant stage, inhibiting human brain development in the early stage, making human beings unable to recognize numbers, machines, and discontinuous logic of more than three steps. Most people immune to nerve agents can only be immune to the first In the first case, there is no immunity to the second. Because the destructive effect of the nerve agent on the brain is carried out in infancy, the brain tissue will be affected within two to four days after the first dose of the newborn. Even the natural immune Nervous agents are also vulnerable at birth, and their immunity has not yet manifested, so they are all destroyed in mathematical thinking before they develop resistance. In fact, nerve agent immunity does not appear until about six years old. They are also under the control of brainwashing before the age of six, which is why almost everyone can't count. On this planet, no one can escape the erosion of nerve agents before the age of six. Second Immunizers are people whose mathematical ability will not be destroyed by nature. They are countless times more valuable than ordinary immuners. Now there are so many of them all at once. Could it be that your entire family... "
"Are you a secondary immune person?" Sandora suddenly looked at Anulili, "I remember that you can't even resist the most basic brainwashing effect of nerve agents, and you can only get out of control by reducing the amount of drugs you take, but you Definitely not impossible to count."
When she said this, Sandora may have used a slight mental intervention, so that Anulili didn't feel that this question was too abrupt. After all, in the eyes of the other party, our group of people should be "ordinary" people who are more ignorant than her. People" is right. Anulili hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly: "I am a secondary immune person who has undergone reverse transformation. For some reason, I must re-accept the influence of nerve agents, but before the transformation, my mathematics Capabilities have matured so they cannot be destroyed again."
I was immediately surprised, and felt that the girl in front of me had a mountain of secrets: she was originally an immune person like Anuza! However, she accepted the so-called reverse transformation so that she could be controlled by the poison again... This kind of reverse transformation must not have been done by herself in this small village at the beginning of the Iron Age. The process of a lab coat and a bunch of glass bottles, that is to say…
"What I'm going to say next may overturn your cognition... no, overturn everything about you," Anulili found what she was looking for, and held it to her chest, "Maybe several generations or even ten years It takes several generations to complete this mission, and you and I will not live to see that day come, but... Do you want to live truly? End this life of exile, live with a goal, just for the sake of always One day our children and grandchildren will be able to breathe freely again and be free forever from the grip of nerve agents and brainwashing. I can only say so much before you reply, but if you agree, I will tell you all."
"Sounds serious," I scratched my chin. "Aren't you afraid if we don't agree? You've said enough now."
Anu Lili replied very flatly: "It's okay, according to the regulations, I will take care of your future affairs. Believe me, although it looks like this, I have the confidence to deal with hundreds of people."
"To be honest, you're not a qualified fool," Lilina stuck out her tongue. "How could you say something so serious at the beginning and not give sweet dates? Even if you draw a big cake, you have to draw a big cake first. It's good to pull people - for example, you can say 'we will be free, because we have a chance to win', this is not a lie, anyway, the people who are fooled are either really free in the end, or really dead, absolutely I have no chance to refute you. To do this, you have to know the art of language... "
Everyone: "..."
This girl really dares to speak out!
"Ahem, don't pay attention to her words," I threw Lilina aside and looked at the gadget Anulili was holding in her hand. It was a gray-blue metal cylinder, the size of a soda can, with The dim light flows, it looks old, but it seems to be working well, and it is sending out a well-hidden space signal—such a thing, throwing it on the earth is enough for the uncles and aunts of the world's scientific academies to study for half their lives, and now it appears In the hands of a local girl in burlap clothes and animal leather boots, I smiled, feeling that the progress was very satisfactory, "I can represent everyone's opinions-we join the gang. Actually, I am very smart, you have said so much, I probably guessed something, you... it should be you?"
Anu Lili exhaled unobtrusively, and then raised the small device in her hand: "Then next, I will take you to a place." RS
