Life in the collapsed world from scratch

In Guan Xing's heart, although Cheng Xi may occasionally lose the chain in the face of emergencies, 537 should not make such mistakes under the circumstances of such long-term planning.

and so……

"Is it really necessary to be so desperate?"

Walking together with the boy on the deserted street, looking at the shadows of the two of them on the ground illuminated by the dim light of the street lamp, Stargazing asked softly.

The anti-entropy base is not a big city. Although all supporting facilities are complete, the number of people is much smaller after all, especially now that it is already after get off work, and the road is even more deserted.

Cheng Xi deliberately controlled his steps. Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually converging, he stepped on the shadow on the ground and asked absent-mindedly, "Is there any problem?"

What's the problem... Big problem, okay?

Looking at Cheng Xi who was still walking on his own shadow like a child, Guanxing sighed helplessly for his childishness, raised his head and asked him:

"Cheng Xi, didn't you prepare many backup plans before? (bdff)"

According to him, if those plans are successfully implemented, even if the final struggle fails and the doomsday of the previous generation is ushered in, he can still preserve the fire of civilization, allowing most people to survive until the next generation 's arrival

Since there is a chance to start again, why do you have to designate such a desperate plan?Not to mention self-cutting the retreat, doesn't this mean that the retreats he had prepared before were all in vain?

"Because those are the plans I made before I became a Herrscher."

Cheng Xi replied.

"Same as "Magic Wolf Fenrir", it is the best strategy that came up with insufficient means..."

Whether it's a space elevator, a core matrix, or a mechanical ascension...

"Now it seems that the only thing that is a little useful in this is the Ark project that will be restarted later."

Guan Xing froze for a moment, not quite understanding why he said that.

After all, although the restarted Ark Project can indeed completely avoid the collapse of the world by escaping, it can only save the lives of a few people. Compared with the plan, it is more like a retreat prepared by Cheng Xi for the people around him out of selfishness.

Under the condition that other plans can be implemented smoothly, the Ark plan should not have much practical significance.

"because……"

Cheng Xi stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at the girl and said:

"...We actually have no chance to do it again."

No... another chance?

Without waiting for Stargazing to ask questions, Cheng Xi continued: "The simplest reason is that... the resources on the earth are limited."

"Not to mention those industrial resources, even agricultural resources can't be consumed at will."

This is a point that most people ignore when talking about the redevelopment of civilization after extinction.

If industry represents the development of a civilization, then agriculture is equivalent to the foundation of a civilization.

Many people believe that many of today's problems are caused by the development of human industry.If we abandon the current industrial development achievements and return to the agricultural society, although the quality of life will drop a lot, as long as there are no natural disasters, human beings can continue to exist in the agricultural civilization stage until the end of the stars.

"However, it has nothing to do with industry or agriculture. The destruction of nature by humans actually existed when our species was born." Cheng Xi continued.

"No matter how agricultural technology improves and develops, and whether we slash-and-burn or mechanized planting, as long as we plow, weed, and irrigate, the rate of soil loss must be faster than the rate of natural generation."

Strictly speaking, the destruction rate of most cultivated land is more than ten times the rate of soil production.

That is to say, geological movement can only produce a millimeter of soil in more than ten years, and it only takes a year for human beings to wear it away.

Starting from this point, a very terrible conclusion is drawn... that is, agricultural civilization cannot exist forever, no matter whether they develop or not, they will inevitably perish in the end.

The "extinction" here does not mean simply returning to the primitive society, but going towards complete extinction due to the complete depletion of the soil.

At that time, human beings will no longer be able to build civilization, and it will be impossible to even guarantee their own survival.

"Civilization can't go on forever. The final result of maintaining the status quo is inevitable... In the case that the previous civilization has failed once, we still have a few chances to start over."

Since the so-called retreat does not actually exist, then there is only one path left for human beings to choose, isn't it? .

Chapter 490 entrusted to important people

The problem of development can only be solved by development itself, and any road that tries to stagnate development and seek short-term comfort is essentially a dead end.

What Cheng Xi expressed was already very clear.

He is not going to play any more turn-based games with Honkai. Honkai can be delayed, but human beings don't have the capital to do so.

He intends to completely wipe out Honkai in this generation, when human beings have developed to the most prosperous stage.

For this reason, it is not enough to rely on his own strength.

"Cheng Xi, you always think of me when you are in trouble." Guan Xing lowered his head, watched the two people walking slowly, and said softly.

"Are you feeling troubled?" Cheng Xi asked.

"Of course not." Guan Xing shook his head slightly: "It's better to say that it's a very happy thing to be remembered by you when you need help."

But ah...

Stargazing turned around and looked at the distant sky.

Under her gaze, a firework rose slowly in the night sky, and finally exploded in an instant. The gorgeous fireworks illuminated the black sky in an instant.

...is it a holiday today?

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival...but it's only tomorrow." Cheng Xi replied after thinking about it.

Moreover, it stands to reason that fireworks are not allowed inside the anti-entropy base... So, if you guessed correctly, it should be the two guys Qiyana and Bronya who set it off again. In terms of violating the organization rules, they can Called a veteran.

Anyway, one of them is a Herrscher, and the other is covered by someone. Even if they violate some small rules, no one will say anything about them. At most, they will be beaten by their parents after returning home.

So, in terms of defeating Herrscher, Alexandra is more experienced...

Cheng Xi sighed in his heart.

"Mid-Autumn Festival..." Watching Xing looked at the fireworks blooming in the distant sky, his eyes gradually became blurred, and after a long time, he whispered in an unusually soft tone:

"...I remember the last time I was with you under the night sky like this, it was also the Mid-Autumn Festival."

That was a long time ago... The memory of a special time will indeed be deeper.

Cheng Xi, who was recalled by the girl's words, thought in her heart.

However, I didn't see the fireworks that time.

Instead, it was a sky lantern made by the girl herself.

...Of course, there is also his part in it, but the part he made can't fly at all, so let's not count it.

"Cheng Xi, why did you give me such an important thing?"

Guan Xing withdrew his gaze from the fading fireworks, looked at the young man beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's because I trust you?" Cheng Xi replied naturally.

"Besides, isn't it normal to hand over important things to important people... After all, you gave me all of you, Guan Xing, didn't you?"

Guan Xing was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, a blush appeared on his cheeks, he turned his head slightly, and whispered, "When did I... give you everything..."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?

"Huh? No?" Cheng Xi glanced at his right hand and asked knowingly.

If the girl gave him only a small world at the beginning, then when she later chose to integrate her own world bubble into the anchor point, it was equivalent to entrusting everything she owned, her entire world, to him. yourself?

And if there is anything beyond that that I haven't given to myself...

Cheng Xi took a deep breath, walked forward, gently took the girl's hand, looked at her slightly trembling eyes, and asked softly: "Then now... can you give me everything about you?"

 …  

The girl didn't break free from his hand, but just took a deep breath, opened her blue eyes, looked at him with a blushing face and asked, "I already have so much, but I still wish for mine." All, Cheng Xi, don't you think you're too greedy?"

Cheng Xi didn't answer her question directly, but shook her head slightly, and gently embraced her in her arms.

"Then, Mr. Guan Xing, can you tolerate such a greedy me?"

How else can I answer this question?

After all, he already had the answer, didn't he?

Listening to the soft words in his ears, Guan Xing closed his eyes, let his body just snuggle into the boy's arms, and leaned his head gently on his shoulder under the night sky with fireworks blooming as the background, Complaining softly in a voice only he could hear:

"It's too late, idiot..." Death.

Chapter 490 The Eighth Constraint Is Actually Collective?

When Cheng Xi returned home, it was already the next morning.

"Welcome back, Xiao Xi."

Sirin, who was studying the menu on the sofa in the living room, heard the movement at the door, turned her head and greeted him, then frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

"Isn't this going to talk about business?" Cheng Xi replied while yawning.

The business you are talking about is so important, do you need to chat all night?Sirin became even more suspicious. "five five three"

Looking at her suspicious eyes, Cheng Xi felt a little guilty for no reason, and turned his head slightly: "This... Actually, I was going back last night."

"and then?"

"There was a little accident..."

By the "little accident" you mentioned, do you mean that you had a fight with a Herrscher?

Sirin frowned slightly, but after seeing the boy's somewhat guilty expression, she still sighed softly.

"Forget it...you can take a rest here first, I'll put some hot water on for you."

"As expected of an older sister, she still loves my younger brother." Lian, who came out of the room, couldn't help but praise like this after hearing the conversation between the two.

Although this is indeed the case, why is it so unpleasant when this kind of thing comes out of the mouth of this Law Restrainer?

Sirin glanced at her, ignored her, and walked towards the bathroom on her own.

He didn't care about the restraint, walked to the sofa and sat down, patted the seat beside him lightly, blinked at Cheng Xi and asked, "Do you want to sit down and have a rest? You must have been very tired last night, right?"

Although he wasn't too tired, Cheng Xi didn't refuse aloud... Who doesn't like a free knee pillow?
