Ember Gun

  Chapter 195 Stacked Miracles

  "The myth of mankind?"

  The Robin obviously did not understand what Lorenzo was saying. Joey on the side also cast a puzzled look. From their point of view, this place was a strange warehouse, storing worthless things.

  The myth itself is even more difficult to understand. It is to extol those mysterious and magnificent stories. But when can myths be related to mortals?

  "Change your thinking to understand."

Lorenzo's eyes were a bit contemptuous, as if he was despising your IQ, and then came to another gorgeously-dressed counter, but there was an old stone slab inside, with simple strokes of beasts drawn on it, but more Instead, it is a series of scratches.

  "Do you know the analysis of human history by those scholars?"

  Lorenzo did not give the audience a chance to answer, he asked and answered himself.

  "The history of mankind starts from scratch, just like a great building, built from one foundation stone after another, instead of appearing out of thin air."

   "So in the age when the'numbers' did not appear, how should one count the prey that he hunted?"

  Lorenzo stared at the slate behind the glass, as if returning to a long time ago.

   "He painted the appearance of the prey on the stone slab, until one day he thought it was too troublesome and replaced the complicated pattern with a scratch."

  The sound is very soft, but it is like the thunder of the day.

  One scratch replaces everything complicated.

  "This is the prototype of numbers, the qualitative change from zero to one...a great moment worthy of being recorded."

  The expressions of Robin and Joey changed slightly. They seemed to have been touched by Lorenzo's plain words, but they still didn't seem to be able to actually feel the great moment, and there was a little hesitation on their faces.

   "Let's say it again."

  Lorenzo immediately picked up the wooden wheel on the other side.

  "This is also one of the great moments? We don't have to carry goods anymore, but use wheels?"

   Robin said, he tried to follow Lorenzo's thinking, but Lorenzo shook his head.

"You only see the appearance. Its real meaning is the increase in energy utilization efficiency." Lorenzo said, "With the same energy, through wheels, we can transport more objects farther. beginning."

   Robin was slightly shocked, and he began to understand what Lorenzo wanted to express.

   "Merlin is really good, he is a intellectual lunatic."

Lorenzo couldn't help but praised, then picked up the scattered paper and continued.

"It is not so much'paper' as it is a'carrier of information'. With it, we have overcome time. Human knowledge will no longer be lost with the death of individuals. It will continue to be passed on. Even time can hardly kill them. They gather together until the magnificent building is piled up."

   "Look at it again!"

  Lorenzo's voice couldn't help but became high-pitched. The old warehouse was like a sacred palace at this moment. It was obviously an extremely common thing, but it became strange and solemn at this moment.

  He picked up the heavy code and wiped the dust off it, which was as heavy as a rock.

  "A common "Inervigor Code", right?"

  Lorenzo asked.

  Robin and Joey nodded, his thoughts were a bit numb, maybe this is the difference between them and Lorenzo, they knew that this thing had a special meaning, but they couldn't understand it before Lorenzo answered it.

"A heavy and ubiquitous code can be said to represent order, and it is an iron rule. From the moment human beings created the'law', we have used this invisible force to restrain ourselves and restrain humanity itself. Distinguish from the beast."

  "So we are no longer slaying and wailing beasts, we are human beings who can control ourselves."

  Lorenzo picked up an inconspicuous coin.

  "As I thought before, does it still represent currency? Or wealth? No, its material itself is worthless. What is really valuable is its meaning. This is the ‘voucher of credit’ among humans."

  These credits have promoted the world economy, as the medium of all valuable things, like the equivalent balance, to conduct transactions.

   "There is still it."

  Lorenzo lifted the heavy lock, the solid iron surface was glowing with cold.

  "This is the encryption and protection of information... It is important to note that the important thing is not itself, but the things it represents and the concepts it covers."

   "Or say it!"

  Lorenzo gently picked up the humble stone.

  In fact, when this stone appeared here, it was no longer as simple as a stone. It could be a stone, a wooden stick, a warhammer, or an iron sword.

  "From this moment on, human beings have the power to protect themselves."

  The power to contend with monsters in the dark.

  The air seemed to solidify, like iron-condensed lead ash, it was difficult to be twitched by the fragile lungs.

  Lorenzo's gaze swept across, and the sharp knife was generally avoidable. The two had never thought of such a level, or such a magnificent perspective, to look at these things.

  It seems that Watson’s words are whispering in his ears. When humans observe themselves from the perspective of ants, it is a picture beyond imagination.

   "Of course, this is more important."

   Returning to the wooden table where he had sat down before, Lorenzo looked down at the drawing.

  "Do you know where you are?"

"What position?"

   Robin asked cautiously.

   "It's the physical location."

  Lorenzo looked up, the light fell and the sky was endless.

  "The world is so big, do you guys really know where we are? In fact, this is also one of the great moments. It is positioning technology. For the first time, human beings have understood what the world looks like."

  Drawings and calculations, the grid covers the land, so the land that has not yet arrived is no longer a legendary mystery, but a reality clearly visible on the map.

   Stroking the old drawing, Lorenzo continued.

   "I still remember the prediction that Merlin told me that it will not exist if it is not observed. You should also be aware of this, right."

  Joy nodded. He knew what Lorenzo was talking about, the part about the frontal lobe resection.

  "We perceive the whole world because of our sensory organs. If we don’t perceive it, then is the world non-existent to us?"

  "This is a cognitive problem, so think about it another way, Joey."

  Lorenzo continued.

  "Is it because of our human observations that these ‘great moments’ exist?"

   seemed to be touching a weird taboo, the warm atmosphere became cold, and there was an unspeakable feeling for an instant, as if there were monsters slowly creeping in the unrecognizable darkness.

  This **** detective always thinks about weird things, perhaps because of this, the robin asked a little bit fearfully.

   "Have you always been so...thinking?"

  "This is not an advantage, but sometimes I can’t control my... Excessive thinking, it will make me anxious and forget to enjoy the moment."

  Lorenzo responded faintly.

   "Of course, this is just an idea, just like a clock."

  He looked at the hanging clock behind the two, the hour hand ticking forward, indicating that the power called "time" was passing by.

  "Humans have developed a calendar, so we have what is called time..."

   "Can it be said that they do not exist?"

   The raging chill squeezed Robin's heart. He wanted to stop Lorenzo from continuing, as if the lunatic was trying to challenge a certain taboo.

  Like the foolish words of a madman.

   "If we say that the clock is not a tool to record time, but because of the appearance of the clock, so the world has the concept of'time'?"

   is obviously a very ordinary word, and can even be easily disassembled into a single word, but at the moment it is said by Lorenzo with crazy weirdness.

According to this terrible way of thinking, the world has no fixed form. It was not until the advent of positioning technology that the form of the world was established. It even said...the beasts that existed in the world, until some beasts began to be bound by rules. The body, so they were distinguished from the beasts and became humans.

  The relationship between the two is inverted, so the whole world goes crazy.

Joey looked at Lorenzo. This neurosis has become weird and absurd since he died once. To some extent, he has become like a monster. A few random nonsense can bring about an effect comparable to erosion and torture ordinary people. reason.

   "Of course, these are just some bullshit, the ideas are full of loopholes, there is no need to care too much."

  The suffocating extreme Lorenzo's words turned, pretending to be relaxed.

   "These words of yours sound like what mental patients often say." Joey said.

   "After all, we are fighting against monsters. The monster is not bound by common sense, so our thinking should be crazy, right?" Lorenzo smiled.

  "But this is still a sane world. Even alchemists like Merlin are abandoning mystery and embracing science, don’t they?"

   Lorenzo said.

   "In my opinion...the mystics are no different from science."

   "No difference?"

   Robin did not understand Lorenzo’s self-contradictory words. He maintained the sane world, but he recognized the weird mystery.

  Just listen to Lorenzo slowly speaking.

  "In my opinion, the so-called occult is just a science that cannot be explained by formulas for the time being."

  He strode forward.

"Think of the robin. A few hundred years ago, when humans were still holding swords and shields, do you think they can understand the artillery of today? Not to mention the Askar, which has a range of 130 kilometers. Long cannon."

No one can imagine that people will be limited by their own social status and even the time they live in. Everyone lives in their own cage, as if it is the curse of the truth on mortals, and they can only continue to struggle in pursuit. On the road.

  It's like a crazy speech, maybe the peaceful life is suffocated by this big detective. He is impassioned, praising human beings, praising human beings... In fact, he is a narcissistic guy, and rounding this **** is also praising himself.

  However, judging from his contemptuous eyes from time to time, he doesn't seem to want to take the two guys who have been led by his thinking, thinking that they are of the same kind... at least in terms of IQ.

Wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, to be honest, Joey was indeed shocked by Lorenzo’s faint madness just now. This big detective’s statement was crazy, but he maintained absolute sanity, and sometimes he was almost unable to tell. Clear the boundary between madness and reason.

  But then came the vigilant heart. He began to think of what the Shrike had said to him. Before the decontamination agency officially contacted Lorenzo, the person who had been in contact with Lorenzo was Shrike. At that time, Shrike gave Joey advice.

  If possible, keep a distance from Lorenzo as much as possible. Not only is this great detective's own danger, but also that he is an "actor".

This is not the common "actor", but Lorenzo's positioning in many times, life is a stage, he is the most dazzling one on the stage, but all this has always been his one-man show, so sometimes he It takes some unlucky kids to bring out his prominence.

  Gently stroking the steel, which was as cold as a sharp blade, Lorenzo stared at this ancient steam engine, and the smooth surface reflected Lorenzo's face.

   "Of course, apart from my nonsense, the most important thing is this thing."

  The two looked at the steam engine in the center, "We know the importance of this thing."

  As Inverwegers, the two of them felt deeply about the changes brought about by the steam engine. Because of its appearance, Invervigor won the Glorious War and embarked on a supreme position.

But Lorenzo shook his head.

  "You don’t know, this is the greatness of mankind. The moment when mankind creates miracles, it is this miracle one after another that builds human society, human civilization, and builds rational walls."

  The voice is flat and the speaking speed is very slow, as if telling a dusty story.

  From stones to clubs, from swords and shields to the terrifying armor of original sin.

  Here is a history museum, which records the great moments of mankind and constructs all the “concepts” of the world today.

  Merlin collected them, as if it were some kind of mysterious ritual, and it also seemed to be some kind of pre-plan to deal with disasters.

  "The epic of mankind..."

  The Robin couldn't help but whispered.

  After understanding the meanings mentioned by Lorenzo, every little thing here has a heavy meaning.

   Relying on them, human beings lit up the fire in the darkness, clenched the thunder and flames, and fought with the monster from the darkness to this day.

   "Yes, the epic of mankind."

  Lorenzo sighed.

  "It represents that human beings have broken through the limitations of their own ‘biological’, and for the first time we have converted chemical energy into mechanical energy."

  Burning and rising, roaring machines build a great city-state.

   "If in ancient mythology, mastering thunder and rain is the power of a god, at this moment we have mastered the power of steel and burning."

   "Humans themselves are gods walking on earth."

   So dawn came to the long night.
