Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3087 Can’t stop

Self-protection is a need for human beings to survive and is an instinct of human beings.

When an object hits a person, the person will subconsciously raise his hands to block it, which is derived from this self-protection mechanism.

When Sun Wukong was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he did not think about protecting himself. This kind of protection did not mean using his Ruyi Golden Cudgel to fend off the weapons that attacked him.

The immortals living in the Celestial Palace do not have the commandment of not killing that Buddha must abide by, but they do not have the ability to capture Bima Wen.

But the Great Sun Tathagata, who had the ability to pin Sun Wukong under the Five Fingers Mountain, had to abide by the commandment not to kill. Therefore, this Monkey King who made people want to be killed did not behave like Tianpeng after causing such a big disaster. The marshal, like the general who rolled the curtain, was punished for a trivial matter and re-entered reincarnation as a monster.

In later stories, it can be seen that people in the Heavenly Palace call Sun Wukong the Great Sage, and Sun Wukong is not as unscrupulous as he used to be when he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the Dragon King's Palace, and the Underworld. Although, except for Xitian, Sun Wukong It is impossible for the monkey to find another official position elsewhere.

The third prince Nezha didn't understand before. He acted rashly and twitched the dragon's tendons. The dragon kings had nothing to do with him, but they could make things difficult for the people. So his father decided to sacrifice him to calm the dragon king's anger.

Sun Wukong is a stone monkey with no parents and no one to control him. The monkeys in Huaguo Mountain that he cares about are different from humans. Besides the Monkey King, who else would feel sad and sad because of the misfortune of a group of monkeys? What's more, the immortals used the power to move mountains and reclaim seas to deal with a group of monkeys, which makes people laugh.

Mencius said: Everyone has the heart of compassion, the heart of shame and disgust, everyone has the heart of respect, and the heart of right and wrong.

It is these inherently good hearts that distinguish humans from animals, transcending the state of nature and forming a rule of the human world.

Beginning in 1811, riots broke out in Lancashire. A group of Luddites covered their faces and carried weapons, traveling between remote areas and smashing machines.

They were organized. They called out members and answered questions in code words. They fired guns to represent retreat. They evacuated in the same way as the army, spreading out in different directions. After the first assassination in 1812, the conflict intensified. Originally, in rural areas, there were very few security personnel, and they were still old and infirm and were not qualified to serve as police officers. Even in big cities like Manchester, the situation was similar, so a standing army had to be called in to restore order.

It was during the Napoleonic Wars, and relations between Britain and the United States were on bad terms. However, in the absence of strong non-military security forces, military force had to be used to suppress the Luddite movement.

These Luddites have obviously received military training. The generals are familiar with battlefield combat strategies and can focus on large-scale military operations, but they are helpless with scattered operations that are broken into pieces.

In the cities they would experience street fighting, and in the countryside they would encounter large-scale mass jams - Luddites smashed machines, and these scattered family workshops in the countryside were the direct beneficiaries.

In order to deal with this chaotic situation, the British Parliament enacted two public order laws. The first one is the Machine Destruction Act, which imposes severe penalties on those who destroy machines and can be sentenced to death. The other is the Day and Night Guard Act ”, stipulating that heads of households between the ages of 17 and 50 must assume the duty of caretakers, and they can receive a salary of 20 pounds per year.

However, it was difficult to recruit people for the second measure. First, the heads of households had to bear the responsibility of supporting their families. Second, the areas where the Luddite movement was intense shared the goals of the Luddites. There are also problems with using the military to combat Luddites and maintain public security and order.

The first is the problem of military accommodation. There are not so many military camps in the inland areas of northern England. The military has to live in residents' homes or rent temporary barracks. This results in soldiers' accommodation being either inappropriate, too expensive, or not available in the short term. .

Building military barracks, or repairing existing old barracks, requires approval from the Ministry of Finance, which is very expensive and is not in compliance with the Magna Carta.

Then there is the difficulty in effective communication between magistrates and the army. The army cannot carry out its tasks without the order of the judge, and the judge cannot make arrests without the assistance of the army.

In addition, there is serious disturbance to the people. Soldiers living in the city are drunk all day long and have no discipline at all. Troops stationed in rural areas did not even have accommodation problems, and they became easier targets for Luddite attacks.

But these are not the worst situations. After the Corn Laws were passed in 1815, a large number of citizens petitioned in the London Parliament Hall on March 6. A magistrate placed 50 policemen in the Parliament and went to the Royal Horse Guards himself. Troops were mobilized. When these cavalry arrived at the Parliament, the protesters became agitated. From verbal insults to squeezing, the panicked Royal Cavalry slashed the crowd with sabers.

Napoleon should have been imprisoned on Elba Island at this time, but he escaped from Elba Island on March 1. The news that he landed in France on March 3 had already reached Paris, so on March 7 Greater London has entered a state of emergency and the entire city is under martial law.

The abolition of the Corn Laws meant that large amounts of food could be imported, which also meant that British agriculture entered a state of decline. Pomona had read a test question asking why Britain's grain production could not meet domestic needs. The correct answer was that Britain was located in a cold area.

Of course, candidates can score points for choosing this answer, but Pomona prefers other answers. During World War II, when a British ocean-going merchant ship was sunk by a German submarine, food imports and transportation were blocked, so that Britain had to implement a rationing system.

Compared with the size of the Royal Navy's surface ships, the number of British submarines is very limited, while the number of German submarines is several times theirs. However, rather than seizing the time to repair submarines, the UK pays more attention to anti-submarine warfare and uses more destroyers and frigates to protect important routes.

When fighting against machines, machines do not need to consider supply issues such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation for soldiers. It is enough to provide them with a charging station. There is no need to consider battle damage. Which machine is missing arms or legs can be disassembled from other robots and installed, and there is no need to consider finances.

The purpose of humans formulating the Three Laws of Robotics is to protect themselves, that is, out of the instinct of self-protection.

This instinct is so deep-rooted that it was even added unconsciously when formulating the Three Laws, superfluously allowing the robot to protect itself.

But there may be other reasons, because machines are property and private property is sacred and inviolable.

Even if human beings do not hand over thinking to machines as in the movie, there are still various disadvantages to war between humans and machines. Moreover, there will definitely be humans who are willing to make peace with machines to prevent them from delusions. The only way is to press the devastating button.

Humans are so contradictory sometimes. She was not a human originally, but now she seems to have learned this contradictory mood.

In such a terrible post-apocalyptic world, children should not have been born, but if Tank had not been born, the traitor would have been able to complete his plan without hindrance.

What are you thinking about? Severus asked in her ear.

Thinking about the matrix and the community of life. Pomona said lying on the pillow.

Not to mention Neo, even she herself was extremely shocked when she saw the red-light Tree of Life for the first time.

You want to finish the movie? he said lazily.

Not really, Pomona said.

You don't want to see the ending?

Of course I want to watch it. She sighed, But I don't think I will like the ending of the movie.

Why?

She turned and looked into his eyes.

Because I want to be with you. She said with a smile.

Stay away from the world and live in seclusion in this deserted place.

Her life does not need so many exciting and ups and downs plots.

He smiled, leaned over and kissed her. In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to that magical Christmas Eve, with Elvis Presley's song playing on the radio.

As the wise say, don’t fall in love so easily.

It's more than just love. Ancient sages believed that wise men should not have any emotions. Wisdom only shows diligent explorers that they are happy enough if they have the truth.

Maybe it's because she's a woman that she's so emotional.

I believe that Helen still loves the King of Sparta. Pomona stroked Severus's cheek. If it weren't for the magic of Cupid, she wouldn't be with Paris.

He listened impassively.

It's like being under the Imperius Curse. Pomona said sadly. That was not her own will.

Lestrange in France did the same thing. Severus said coldly, No wonder their capital is called Paris.

That's just a legend. Paris is related to Prince Paris. Pomona said.

Do you believe that Salazar Slytherin's parents met in Paris? Severus asked.

That's just a legend.

No wonder they're so unlucky, he said disgustedly. I hate that place.

You've never been there.

He didn't want to listen to her anymore and covered her body. She was worried about the food she bought. Although the weather was a bit cold, the meat still needed to be frozen for preservation.

At this time, the roar of the cold wind sounded outside the window, like the horn of winter.

At least you can't hear such a sound in the Mediterranean, even at sea. Only the North Sea can have such wind and waves.

Maybe, she can also have a monkey patron saint. Even if it doesn't have a somersault cloud and a golden hoop, it is still much more interesting than the swan and can drive away those cloaked monsters. Of course, it would be even better if it has one, then Must be the coolest patron saint she has ever seen.
