Reiki

This is a very practical question.

It is also the question that Chu Ge has been tossing and turning for the past few days, unable to sleep all night, and constantly thinking about it.

It was a question that he had racked his brains and couldn't figure out the answer.

Time, precious time, damn time, in the face of the exponentially growing insect swarm, there is too little time left for them!

"If it is true as you said, we will tell the Rat Tribe the truth now, what will happen in the end?"

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said calmly, "For example, we will send you to go underground right now to tell the Rat Race that the State Teacher has told a big lie. The gods they worship do not exist from the beginning to the end. The 'civilization' established by painstaking efforts is simply a cruel joke.

"Do you think the Rat Clan, whose faith has collapsed in an instant, can really accept such a desperate fact?

"You know, based on the information you have collected, the so-called 'civilization' of the Rat Clan is still in the early stages of ignorance and superstition.

"During this period, the belief in the gods was the spiritual pillar of most individual civilizations, and even the meaning of the entire civilization.

"At this stage in human history, countless wars were fought because of beliefs, and countless lives were lost in the 'Wrath of the Gods'. If at that time, a 'prophet' dared to tell people that beliefs are illusory, The gods are simply non-existent bubbles, do you think people will believe this prophet, or send the prophet to the stake?"

Unconvinced, Chu Ge puffed out his chest, ready to argue.

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting lowered his hands, stopped him, and patiently explained: "Don't worry, I know what you want to say, you want to say, human beings have powerful force, and all kinds of irrefutable The evidence is enough to prove that the gods of the Rat Clan do not exist, and the Rat Clan has no power to send you, the 'prophet', to the stake.

"Then, let's make an analogy again. What you have to do is like countless aliens with superior technology who came to the medieval earth on flying saucers and told the earthlings at that time that gods do not exist. .

"That's right, the people on Earth at that time really couldn't do anything to aliens, but they could really believe in aliens, instead of fabricating countless self-justified and self-deceiving lies to continue to anesthetize themselves, instead of taking the aliens' truth , as... Satan's trap?

"Well, even if in the end, they really believe that 'the gods don't exist', then what? They can wake up instantly, break the shackles of ignorance and superstition, and enter a new era of scientific prosperity?

"Do not be silly,

In the face of irrefutable evidence, the human beings at that time and the Rat Race at this moment will only fall into the abyss of collapsed beliefs, withered spirits, and broken views. Such a strong impact is enough to plunge their society into chaos or death. Maybe it won't be recovered for decades, or even forever!

"Even if the update and iteration speed of the rat society is several times faster than that of human society, such an earth-shaking 'faith earthquake' will at least make them fall into a state of confusion, despair, and discouragement for a year and a half. A little chance to rebuild a new faith on the ruins of the spirit.

"No, we don't have a year or a half for the Rat Race to slowly digest and absorb the explosive fact that 'the gods don't exist'. We need the Rat Race to recover their peak combat effectiveness within ten days and a half months. Reserved to serve humanity!"

When Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said this, he emphasized his tone and slammed the table hard, causing the teacup and computer on the table to jump.

Chu Ge hesitated to speak, and thought of several sets of arguments, but felt that they were not enough to deal with the chaotic situation after the collapse of the rat clan's civilization and faith.

"You have also found that your ideals are helpless in the face of cruel reality, right?"

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting looked at him and said, "Okay, even if I let you go one step further and deduce in the most optimistic direction, the scientific spirit and thick nerves of the Rat Race are more tenacious than we imagined, and they got through it in an instant. The chaos caused by the collapse of beliefs calmly accepted all reality, knowing that we are not divine creators, but just like them, flesh and blood that can only think.

"Then, will they necessarily agree to cooperate?

"For those who are not of our race, their hearts must be different. We are not the only ones who understand this truth, and the Rat Race is certainly no stranger to it. No matter how old-fashioned the concept of the 'chain of suspicion' is, it is two civilizations who hide their knives behind their faces, cheat each other, and be vigilant against each other. An essential precaution when contacting, how do you get the Ratfolk to fully believe in our 'goodwill' in just a few days, honestly, I don't even believe it myself, what do we have to the Ratfolk 'bona fide'!

"Don't rush to refute, okay, I'll let you go one more step - I found that all the concessions in my life seem to have been used on you. Now, I will count you as using your three-inch tongue to release an extremely powerful Your kindness, with your innocent blood, influenced all the Rat Race, making them believe that human beings are a friendly race that loves peace and can communicate. Then, how do you convince the Rat Race to cooperate with us to fight against the bug swarm? Snake Demon and Doctor Virus?"

Hearing this, Chu Ge finally had something to say: "This is not a problem. Aren't the Rats fighting against the bug swarm underground all the time? They even destroyed the Celestial Laboratory. They have a blood feud with the snake demon, not to mention that the battlefield is also underground. The world, their homeland, how could they choose to watch the fire from the other side?"

"No, the reason why the Rat Clan attacked the Heaven-Man Laboratory was mainly because of the bewitchment of the National Teacher. Even if the National Teacher did not plan the whole thing, at least it was caused by the grievances between the National Teacher and the Snake Demon—if you want to tell the Rat Clan all the truth , we cannot fail to make this matter clear.”

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting said coldly, "If the Rat Clan know that they sacrificed a large number of compatriots because of the lie of the state teacher, the heaven they dream about day and night does not exist at all, and all sacrifices are meaningless, even if they don't harbor resentment , at least disheartened, morale has fallen to the bottom, right?

"Yes, they may continue to fight against the bug swarm, but it's one thing to do a small-scale battle in a perfunctory manner, and another thing to gamble on the last drop of blood to destroy the country. What we need now is the latter, It is all the Rat Clan who can be extremely fanatical, determined, and fearless of death, rushing towards the swarm of insects, blocking every gap that the swarm of insects might lead to the ground with their flesh and blood, and this, given the level of civilization development of the Rat Clan Come and see, only a berserker loyal to the gods can do it!

"In short, tell the Rat Clan the whole truth. What happens afterwards is too uncontrollable. The Rat Clan may turn against us; it may swallow the national teacher alive; it may be disheartened, and the whole clan collapses suddenly, and all the rats die. The tree falls and the monkeys scatter; it is also possible that they have awakened a very strong sense of community and are full of suspicion of humans, hiding far away in the dark to watch the war between humans and insect swarms, playing the tricks of "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight" and "raise the enemy's self-respect" ;Even if they really agree to help humans construct an underground defense line, they may offer a price we cannot accept, forming a trend that cannot be dropped.

"Therefore, no matter how moving your ideals are or how beautiful your future is, we don't have time to play such a highly uncertain game, and we must use the simplest, rude and reliable way to solve problems quickly.

"That is, let the national teacher, after our comprehensive treatment, strengthening and upgrading, and a new look, 'return' to the underground world at a critical moment, to win the stronger trust and more pious belief of the Rat Race, and then we will work together Fabricate more unbreakable lies, even support the national division with a large number of "artifacts", arm the rat clan into berserkers who look at death as home, act as the pioneers of mankind, and wipe out all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the underground of Lingshan City in one fell swoop!"

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting slashed his arm like a sword, and said murderously.

Chu Ge took a deep breath and said, "This is called 'cutting the mess with a quick knife'? Excuse me, after cutting the mess, how will this blood-stained sharp knife be retracted from its scabbard, and how can we explain our behavior of using the rat clan as cannon fodder? ?”

"I'm a soldier, and soldiers are good at winning, not explaining."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting smiled and said, "What's more, I believe that after the surviving Rats have seen how terrifying the so-called 'artifact' is, and our human civilization is not gods, but is more powerful than gods, they will Must be very willing to hear our explanation, whatever it is.

"As the saying goes, 'the weapon of criticism is not as good as the criticism of weapons', I think that the explanation of weapons is more convincing than the explanation of three inches of tongue, right?"
