Cyber Heroes

The human body is not adapted to industrialization and modern life.

The human brain will prompt them to constantly seek sugars, proteins and fats. However, the efficiency of humans in modern society in obtaining food is countless times higher than that of their ancestors 40,000 years ago, and their digestive and metabolic systems cannot handle excess nutrients.

The human brain refuses to understand the fact that "paychecks are settled on a periodic basis" and they can accept that "a hunt/gatherer lasts for days, but every action should have results." Some people will take a long time to take advantage of a small advantage, precisely because the positive feedback of the "small advantage" is so timely.

Scholars of evolutionary psychology believe that the evolved adaptors produced by the "psyche" and "spirit" acting on our ancestors in the hunter-gatherer era are the programs and applications for manipulating the machine of the body.

But now, this adaptive application itself is in conflict with the civilization created by human beings themselves.

The more modern an organization is, the lower the demand for individual qualities and the higher the demand for single professional skills. But human instinct is to "revere heroes." “Heroes” are threads that run through mythology, icons that suppress past and present times. People have the instinct to escape control, but they also have the instinct to surrender.

Many modern mental illnesses were born from this.

Countless seemingly “unreasonable” cultural phenomena are the revolt of the dead souls of the past.

This is what humans are.

Humans are not creatures designed to grow in a concrete jungle.

This is not surprising.

"But no matter how unadapted human beings are to modern society, no one will really quit if they have the choice. Go back to the living conditions of their ancestors." Xiang Shan said calmly.

Even if someone in modern times is really tired of his life and wants to withdraw and live in seclusion, he will not go back to the hunting and gathering era. This world has been changed by humans. In this world, there are very few ferocious beasts that can harm humans, and the fields are filled with species that have been screened by humans. The "farming tips" accumulated over a long period of time make it easier for farmers to support themselves - even their farm tools are magical tools that were unimaginable by their ancestors thousands of years ago.

Xiang Shan said: "This is the 'security' brought by civilization. Once you have tasted it, no one can let it go."

The decisive difference may lie in the "concept of death."

For hunter-gatherers, death always comes unexpectedly. In the civilized era, the closest people to hunter-gatherers were nomads. Nomads will love their brothers and sisters and mourn their deaths, but this does not prevent them from abandoning the elderly or seriously ill relatives. This is their view of life and death.

Sometimes, some seriously ill or abandoned people are lucky enough to recover and come back to visit us again. These more primitive humans may even think this is "unknown" or "unfortunate".

The farming civilization is domesticated by the year, month and day. The world in their eyes is cyclical, and life is often predictable. (Even though many times this "predictability" is just an illusion)

Historically, it has been so difficult for nomadic civilizations and agricultural civilizations to understand each other. The roots of their cultures are different

Xiang Shan pointed at Dai Jiutai: "You are just using modern technology to create more powerful hunters individually."

"Historically, humans will not return to nomadism, let alone hunting, because farming and industry have provided them with a sense of security 'away from the unknown' and 'away from death'. In the original adaptability of human beings, there is also 'hope' The element of "gaining profit through adventure" and the element of "gaining tranquility away from the unknown". In the hunter-gatherer era, these two factors were balanced. Human beings would stay at home peacefully when there was enough food, and also Be enterprising and progressive when resources are scarce. But modern society provides different choices, and humans can work without facing life and death. So the originally balanced yin and yang are out of balance."

"And what about the modern Green Forest? Because of our struggle, the resources they need have been greatly reduced. The so-called baseline people and Cybermen can survive at a very low cost. As individuals, they are far better than civilians. Although they are powerful, there are not enough knights stronger than them. For them, 'practicing martial arts' is not only to hone their hunting skills, but also to 'make efforts to stay away from death.'"

"Because of the achievements of past civilizations, they do not have to face the difficulties faced by their hunting and gathering ancestors. But they themselves are so harmful to humans."

Xiang Shan looked at Dai Jiutai: "Why do you approve such a project?"

He pointed at Tianji Sanren again: "Don't you feel ashamed to do this kind of project?"

Tianji Sanren's hands began to tremble, as if he wanted to fight back.

But the personality-covered prosthetic body next to him locked him tightly.

Dai Jiutai'a said: "Senior, you..."

With a "boom", the chariot started suddenly and rushed towards Tianji Sanren.

Dai Jiutai'a spoke just to divert attention. He felt the time was enough.

In the sky, countless drones have moved to preset positions and started swooping attacks. Countless lines of fire fell from the sky.

Xiang Shan rushed out almost at the same time. Tianying's headless torso jumped high, holding two machine guns, and rotated his upper body 360 degrees to fire in all directions. Many missiles were exploded in the air or exploded.

But Dai Jiutai's preparations obviously didn't stop there.

The missiles were divided into several groups, and Tianying could only deal with some of them.

These bullets formed a formation. Many missiles begin to turn after reaching the ground.

Regardless of whether they rush towards Tianji Sanren or Dai Jiutai'a, they will be bombarded by these thermal weapons.

But Tianying's headless body was finally torn open.

He rolled towards the mountain, then raised the shotgun lent him by Master Blackhand, and fired two rows of conical shrapnel.

Then, he threw the gun with both hands, accelerated on the ground, and rushed directly towards Dai Jiutai's chariot.

Looking at the figure with a hand on his back, Dai Jiutai understood the other party's intention.

——I see, the target is me?

——Tianji Sanren has no ability to escape, so just kill me first...

——But, it’s not that easy!

The machine guns on the side of the tank spit fire. However, Xiang Shan moved flexibly and successfully avoided the wave of fire suppression.

More explosions came.

Xiangshan struggled to get hit by several shots, and in an instant he was ten meters away from the chariot.

More missiles flew over.

Dai Jiutai controlled the chariot with the determination to fight to the death. Those missiles would blow him and Xiangshan to pieces. However, the armor strength of the tank is much greater than that of the prosthetic body. So just get through this...

——As long as we get through this...
