Chapter 145
On the tall tower, the iron-black metal support stretched out like an open hand. On the beam at the end of the support, sat a skinny young man, his clothes fluttering in the air as the night wind blew, looking as if they would fall at any time, which was inexplicably frightening.
However, the building was very tall, so high that people on the ground would not bother to look up to see if there was someone sitting on it, so it did not cause any further commotion.
- In fact, for the tulip people today, even if a person really jumped off the tower, they would probably just look at him indifferently and then continue with their lives without caring.
Because over this period of time, too many people have died in this city... in this country...
The situation is ever-changing, wars are raging, and in the center of such a hurricane, no one knows if they are a puppet in the hands of others, and no one can guarantee whether they can see the sun tomorrow. Many people think they have mastered the situation and the future of the country, but the facts prove that they have stepped into a dark trap.
Sitting on the beam, Lor looked at the city silhouette shrouded in the sunset in the distance, and many messy thoughts popped up in his mind.
He and Mu Xiaohu stayed on Zhongwu Star, originally wanting to help the alien race in a miserable situation. In fact, after losing the assistance of many high-tech equipment, there was not much they could do. However, the scientific progress of Zhongwu Star was very backward. Many of the basic knowledge they learned in the Landia Empire were already cutting-edge knowledge ahead of their time on Zhongwu Star. A basic theorem or a simple formula could make the scholars here feel like they had found a treasure and study and discuss it for a long time.
The two knew how valuable what they had was, and that the knowledge in their heads could enable the technological civilization of this planet to achieve leapfrog development, and it could also bring about earth-shaking changes to the people of this place. But the two did not know whether such changes were good or bad.
But at least, they knew that although Rong Yuan provided a lot of information to Lin Qingsi and others when he first came, that information was basically about the Star Alliance's situation, development, laws, the relations between the major powers, what kind of treatment a primary civilization could get when it first joined the alliance, and how to obtain security, etc., but it did not provide any technological information that could directly improve the level of civilization. At most, it only mentioned some future development directions.
The two teenagers actually didn't know why he did this. Although they were smart, their social experience and past life experiences were not enough for them to have a thorough understanding of the development and changes of such a primitive planet. Although they didn't understand, they would not deliberately disrupt the normal process of civilization. After accidentally leaking some advanced knowledge at the beginning and causing a small-scale sensation, the two became much more cautious and only guided the rebels to make small-scale changes in basic subjects of people's livelihood, medical care, education, etc.
However, a new problem has arisen. During the more than 200 years of human knowledge blockade, the knowledge level of the aliens is very worrying. When humans have begun to explore the universe, most aliens can't even write their own names, and less than one-tenth of them have the knowledge of an average elementary school student. Only a very small number of sub-humans have mastered relatively advanced knowledge by chance or with the help of some humans, but at most they are only at the level of ordinary college students.
Therefore, it was very difficult for Lor and the others to teach, and it could even be said to be painful.
It's not that the aliens are not smart or hardworking, but their foundation is really too poor. Many questions that the two teenagers can easily pass by and are not problems at all can make them scratch their heads and still not understand. It's like they have a head full of knowledge about building a space shuttle, but they have to repeatedly explain questions like "Why is 2X-X equal to X instead of 1?"
For the first time, Luo Er realized that just because he was smarter than others, learned better than others, and knew more than others, it did not mean that he could be a good teacher. Often after a day of classes, the two teenagers were exhausted, but they still faced pairs of blank and innocent eyes.
They found that they didn't need to worry about leaking advanced knowledge and affecting the level of civilization. Even if they were given three years, they might not be able to help these people master a certain level of "basic knowledge".
Fortunately, although most of the aliens could not understand their lessons, their obedience was still no problem. In other words, it was much better than what they had seen before. Many aliens seemed to have no idea what fatigue was. As long as they were assigned a task, they would work without sleep or even risk their lives to complete it. They got all kinds of items they needed from garbage dumps, abandoned factories, sewers, and even from mines without any protective measures, and then turned them into roaring machines, and then into various medicines and weapons, and delivered them to their comrades on various fronts.
If it were any other rebel army, these supplies would be enough to cause huge casualties among humans. The two teenagers often felt uneasy about this, worrying that their actions would bring about some bad consequences. But fortunately, Yun Yi always adhered to the "no bloodshed policy". He did not want to change the situation of the aliens by slaughtering humans, but hoped to bring a good result with minimal casualties. Whether it is human or alien, as long as no harm is caused to others, they should not pay the price for the mistakes of other species. Therefore, the weapons in his hands are only used to protect his companions and rescue people in trouble-whether they are human or alien.
With Yun Yi's persistence, the Freedom Eagles he led were always the odd ones out among the resistance. They were mocked by other resistance forces as "cowards" or "babies who haven't been weaned", and were even hostile to both humans and some alien races who didn't know the truth. But in the end, no matter what race they are, ordinary people yearn for peace and stability, so the Freedom Eagles resistance is not small. Although many people left because of different ideas, many people, including the Celestials, joined in, forming the current scale.
Lor knew that it was foolish to pin their hopes on the morality of individual leaders, but now, all they could do was to trust Yun Yi and his companions and do their own thing.
After modifying some machines and making some medicines, Lor and his friend became idle again. The two teenagers were somewhat frustrated to find that no matter how many lofty ambitions they had, they were just a drop of insignificant water in the tide of such an era. It was completely delusional to want to change the situation of the world with one person's strength.
Then the two discovered that their most useful place was as a warrior!
Lor had never thought in his life that one day he would have to use force to overwhelm others like a reckless man. You know, in the first ten years of his life, he had always been labeled as "frail and sickly".
But on Zhongwu Star... Actually, his personal force is at most the level of an ordinary human. However, although Rong Yuan did not leave them any powerful weapons when he left, he still let them keep some things to ensure their own safety - such as clothes that can mimic and are waterproof, fireproof, bulletproof and radiation-proof, pendants that can produce a full-range defense shield, communication bracelets with powerful computing power and various functions, rings that can launch electromagnetic wave attacks, etc. In fact, it is nothing in Landia. For example, his electromagnetic wave attack cannot penetrate the shield generated by the pendant, but the shield and protective clothing combined are nothing in front of Semillian's black hole generator. But on Zhongwu Star, he can proudly say that he is armed to the teeth! With the technological level of Zhongwu Star, there is really nothing that can hurt them.
Therefore, when the situation was the most tense and the aliens were in the most difficult situation, Luo Er and Mu Xiaohu had to fight in the most dangerous places, and rescued the aliens who were almost killed by the human army again and again. They could go deep into the most hidden and well-defended prisons to rescue their companions, withstand the most fierce attacks to provide time for others to evacuate, and invade the human network to threaten them with their own weapons and tools.
Then, before he knew it, Luo Er found that he had gotten used to the smoke, death, and the rhythm of battle. The alien races worshipped them, and the human army regarded them as the most dangerous enemy. Mu Xiaohu might still feel like a fish in water, but Luo Er...he just wanted to sigh.
However, all this changed completely after the "Setting Sun Incident".
The Sunset Incident - I don't know who gave it such a name. Anyway, in the evening of that day, only the last bit of sunset light remained in the sky, which made the clouds very gorgeous. Just when most people had just eaten dinner and were struggling to digest their food, Speaker Yang Siyu suddenly launched a coup. Artillery fire directly blew through the gate of the Jade Palace. The maids and servants screamed and ran away. The soldiers who were supposed to guard the Jade Palace were at a loss because of the contradictory military orders. In the chaos, Yang Siyu's troops did not even encounter any decent resistance, and they drove straight to the trembling Kahar.
It is said that on that day, the high and mighty head of state Kahar did not put up any resistance or issue any courageous declaration when he saw the rebels. He knelt down at the first sight, crying and hugging Yang Siyu's thighs and begging for mercy. But Yang Siyu was unmoved and shot the ruler of the empire to death.
And everything that happened afterwards was even more ever-changing, as if everything had been fast-forwarded, making it too overwhelming to react at all.
