Chapter 110 The Secret of the World 3
"This is how the top-secret information came about. The content is very detailed, and more importantly, it is extremely true."

Hearing this, Ling Zihan asked: "You mean, artificial intelligence... is it computers that transform the world into what it is today?"

Victoria shook her head: "The central computer is out of control and then attacks humans. Concepts such as Skynet, Terminator, and killing networks are actually nothingness at the level of movies and human fantasy. They have never appeared, at least in this world. There is no time and space."

"The biggest problem still stems from humans themselves."

"As I said before, wars in the old era were premeditated. Governments of various countries began to prepare secretly a long time ago, from increasing weapons production to storing combat supplies, and even withdrawing their own agencies from hostile countries in advance. However, the moon The destruction makes it impossible for anyone to be the final winner of the war. In the face of hopeless destruction, survival has become the most critical thing."

"It's ridiculous to say that the place I thought was the safest was actually infiltrated by the agents of the hostile country early on. The top leaders of the two opposing camps entered the highest-level refuge for the first time, but they were released by the opponents with high-efficiency germs and nano-robots. ways to kill one after another.”

"After this, the world situation completely got out of control."

Ling Zihan frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with "necessity"?"

Victoria smiled slightly: "Be patient, I'll get to it soon."

"The depth of the refuge and the completeness of the protective facilities determine whether the hiders can get real shelter during the bolide eruption."

"One year later...to be precise, 371 days after the bolide erupted, the Tikova Shelter in the West Bank of the Jordan River was opened, and the human survivors who lived underground for a long time finally saw the sun again and saw the devastation world."

Ling Zihan still frowned: "The West Bank of the Jordan River? I have read a lot of historical materials. It is an area where the ownership is disputed, and armed conflicts broke out for a long time. Why did you build a refuge in that kind of place?"

Victoria nodded lightly: "You're right. The so-called "Tekwa" actually means "hope" in ancient Hebrew. The long-term war in this region stems from the new division of forces after World War II .It is meaningless to evaluate what is right and what is wrong. But the emergence of Tikova as a refuge is actually quite interesting.”

"As you said just now, the West Bank is a piece of land whose ownership is in dispute. At that time, Israel occupied a strong position in the area. They set up checkpoints on the surface and strictly checked those who entered and exited. Under the environment of resistance, people in the surrounding area have been digging holes in the ground like rats from a very early age."

"I'm not joking and I definitely don't mean to belittle them. They are interconnected by digging underground pipes and smuggling in all kinds of necessities from under the supervision of the military. Coca-Cola, flour, dates, salt, vitamin pills, clothes ... This sneaky underground activity has lasted for nearly a hundred years. As the demand for materials gradually increased, the original simple tunnels were expanded again and again, forming a dense material circulation network reinforced with cement and steel bars, and dug deeper and deeper. "

"In the age of civilization, Tuben's underground sewage treatment system was almost perfect, and even super-heavy trucks could easily drive in. Although the underground transportation network in the West Bank of the Jordan River cannot be compared with it, in terms of scale It’s not too small, and more importantly, it’s used very frequently.”

"The Israeli side has been aware of this for a long time and has launched a series of countermeasures, but the results have not been very effective. There have even been cases where the tunnel was dug again after it was blown up."

"There have been many repetitions, and the high-level government has also had different opinions and views on this. After repeated discussions with the military, it has been decided to continue to expand toward the deep underground based on the underground pipeline network that has been discovered and mastered in the current control area. Make it available as an emergency shelter."

"When a disaster breaks out, everyone's greatest wish is to go to a safe place and survive no matter what. Compared with the huge number of local people, the few soldiers who are in charge of guarding Tikova's shelter are not worth mentioning at all The fleeing people broke through the cordon, and the smoke bombs and tear gas used to maintain order could not have the desired effect. In the face of the strong desire to survive, the so-called ethnic and religious boundaries are not even a fart."

"The survivors who returned to the surface began to discuss how to rebuild their homes. But before that, it is more important to contact the outside world to find more survivors."

"More people survived than expected. Thanks to the breakthrough of liquid cultivation technology in the period before the war, a large number of survivors also relied on shelters to obtain a stable source of food supply."

"At that time, the overall environment of the world was completely destroyed. The sky was covered with dark radiation clouds, and the dense dust clouds produced by the impact of moon fragments on the ground covered the sky and almost all animals and plants perished."

"The survivors who opened the door of the shelter could not face such a horrible world. They returned to the ground again. With the sharp decline in the number of human beings, the small hydroponics system and groundwater purification resources were sufficient to maintain normal consumption. They dug out more underground Wide space, rebuild home."

After talking for too long, Victoria was obviously thirsty.She picked up the empty coffee cup, smiled and made an invitation gesture to Ling Zihan: "Would you like a cup?"

"Thank you!" Ling Zihan waved his hand, and then pointed to the fruit plate which was mostly empty: "If possible, some more grapes."

A flattering smile appeared on Victoria's overly pale complexion: "Okay, please wait a moment."

She used a communicator to give instructions to the waiter outside, then stood up from the sofa, walked slowly to the coffee machine, and poured another cup of fragrant and expensive hot coffee.

Ling Zihan also got a big basin full of fresh grapes that he wanted.

"With regard to the inevitability of the underground world, we must first mention the human race left over from the old era." Victoria's voice echoed in the room again: "As the overall situation stabilizes, the food supply is sufficient, because of the interaction between the disasters. Awareness of help has also gradually faded. Believers of God refuse to live with Buddhists, and people with stars and moon signs in the room spontaneously form a fixed activity area. Even those dirty black ghosts, because they come from different tribes, worship them separately. The evil gods they believed in refused to recognize the existence of the other party, and a new round of fighting began."

"They started a big fight in the underground shelter. No matter how much the police who maintained order tried to persuade them, it was useless."

"In the third year after the bolide erupted, that is, the second year of the so-called new earth calendar, a terrible massacre occurred in the "Cunsangada" refuge located in the north of Korea."

"The cause was that two Catholics of different sects had conflicts in their prayer habits and content, which led to fierce conflicts in the shelter. According to the viewpoint of the old peacetime, these two so-called "Protestants" were not recognized by the Vatican at all. , are also regarded as cults by mainstream sects. However, believers don’t care about these at all. In their view, the gods they believe in can bring them blessings, and at the same time they must obey the call of the gods and kill all the damned heretics.”

"The Gospels they hold are horrific, and the content makes people feel their scalps go numb."

"You can kill pagans like cattle and sheep, plunder their property, and occupy their wives and daughters. This is the right given to you by the gods."

"Instigated by the demagogic words of the religious leaders, the believers carried the statues of their respective gods and attacked the heretics."

"They used all kinds of weapons they collected, including anti-personnel grenades and heavy machine guns, and even large-caliber direct-pointing artillery pieced together from scrap parts collected from old battlefields on the surface. The narrow space accelerated the death of personnel, and the shelters after the battle were everywhere. It's all blood and corpses, and the surviving party has absolute control and becomes more reckless."

"Although they have this or that kind of arrogant obsession, they can only be like the frog trapped at the bottom of the well in the story and can't go anywhere. Although the radiation content on the surface has been greatly reduced, as far as the overall environment is concerned, it is not suitable for human beings at all. Survive without seeing the sun."

"Similar situations have happened all over the world. Many people cannot adapt to the environment of living underground and are forced to leave the shelter for various reasons. White people, yellow people, black ghosts... When they left, they were fully prepared and brought a large number of For food, go to the surface river area marked in the old era according to the computer data."

"Their ideas are simple and persistent. They believe that the radiation concentration on the surface has already been reduced to a level that humans can bear, so even if there is no sun, they can rebuild their homes in the vast outer space."

"Computer data shows that from February of the third year of the new earth calendar, that is, the fourth month after the start of the riots in the shelter, to February of the 13th year of the new earth calendar, during the ten-year period, people left the shelter and went to the surface. The total population of the country exceeds [-] million.”

"Although the national system of the old era was damaged to varying degrees in the war, it still maintains a considerable degree of integrity in certain specific areas. The current state of maintenance between cities in the eastern part of the mainland is the best example. Take Qinglong With the legion as the link, we can basically advance and retreat at the same time.”

"But even so, in a chaotic and disorderly society, those people who left the refuge can indeed move freely, and no one interferes with their behavior."

"Drone technology has been widely used after the launch of the new earth calendar. Each shelter is being built, and drones are used to communicate with other adjacent shelters. New regional networks have also been created and expanded. impact and area."

Ling Zihan knew a little about this, and he asked with interest: "You mean, the shelter sent drones to set up communication equipment on the surface and build a signal transmitting station?"

Victoria nodded: "To be precise, it should be accomplished by drones and robots. Human ingenuity is indeed worthy of admiration, especially war and survival dilemmas have truly become the biggest source of stimulating technological progress at an unprecedented speed. Many in Things that were historically considered extremely difficult, or even impossible, took leaps and bounds during that period."

Ling Zihan stretched out his right hand subconsciously, and moved the metal structure fingers covered with bionic skin: "Did the semi-biological and semi-mechanical transformation technology appear at that time?"

"About this matter, I will mention it later. For now, let's return to those who left the shelter."

Victoria put away the smile on her face, and her expression suddenly became a little heavy: "In fact, the shelter controller has been paying attention to the situation of these people, and drones and small robots have also followed them secretly for monitoring. But this kind of monitoring cannot be done. Absolutely silent, more or less will be discovered by the other party."

"A large number of drones and robots were destroyed by them. In order to avoid surveillance, these teams who left the shelter entered areas with more complex terrain. In their view, the so-called freedom is far more important than food and water. Their thoughts are also He has become more and more extreme, no longer believes in technological products, and has developed resistance and even aversion to all mechanical objects."

"The declassified information in the subsequent stage shows that the Freedom Team... This is the name given to them by the leaders of the refuges in the fifth year of the new earth calendar. Their collective behavior of leaving the underground is actually a continuous process from the initial consciousness process. A vast program to be perfected and expanded."

"The original United Doctors Association originated from the Saxon Empire. Its predecessor was a "list of the most powerful doctors in the world" listed by the editorial department of "The Lancet". According to computer records, at its peak, the list listed There are as many as 680 and eight people in the list, all over the world, including people of different nationalities and religious beliefs. By the time of the new earth calendar, there are only [-] surviving people on the list. Because of the environment and reality Because of this, they have become the leader-level controllers of various refuges."

"The exact time when the Doctors United Association formed a new system is no longer available. Hehe, according to my understanding, the real reason should be that the relevant records during this period were artificially erased. Because this involves the formation of many world rules, Fighting, even killing. From the perspective of the association controllers and those in power in the shelters everywhere, no matter how the rebels die, it is the best help for the rule."

"This just confirms Megatron's famous saying: the premise of peace is tyranny."

"The monitoring of the Freelancer team is one of the few important plans of the United Doctors Association. This originally originated from the proposal of Dr. Cornell of the Clyde Sanctuary in North America."
