Start a Core Pod

  Chapter 281 Purification

  Time always flies by quickly.

  With the production capacity of the Tribunal, it is not difficult to manufacture a directional radiation device, but for Rebecca and Sydney, they have more worries.

   "Big uncle, should we put it on hold for a while, and wait until everyone is cured before...starting it?"

Looking at Duanmuhuai, Sydney timidly put forward her own suggestion. They have already conducted a series of experiments on this directional radiation system. Facts have proved that as long as no organisms are infected by the Im material, they will not be exposed to this radiation. That would be too much of a problem, at best it would be like having an extra X-ray several times a day.

  However, creatures infected with Eim matter are completely different, their bodies will disintegrate completely, and then be reduced to ashes. The effect of this directed radiation device on the infected was so great that it made both of them uneasy. This is not as simple as the vaccine against the virus in Resident Evil. It does not suppress the virus infection and restore them to normal, but kills them completely.

   "Don't wait any longer."

   Duanmu Huai stared at the screen in front of him and shook his head.

"Remember, even the gods can't save everyone. In fact, everyone is just a false proposition. You should be very clear, just like the T-virus infection. Some people can be saved, while others can only die. You may be able to Save some people in a short time, or save more people in a long time, but you can never save everyone. The so-called perfection is just a false proposition, and perfection itself is a poison."

   Having said this, Duanmuhuai frowned.

"There is no such thing as perfect success in this world. Every victory brings regret. War destroys enemies, but it also leaves some people forever without their families. But this is the reality, and human beings must suffer to move forward. Instead of immersing in perfect fantasies and dreams, sinking and falling - this world is cruel and realistic, there is no real paradise, and there is no paradise that people long for. However, human beings still move forward hair, and live for their dreams."

  While talking, Duanmuhuai raised his hand.

   "Activate the directional radiation device."

   "Ok~~~~"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Mia, who was sitting in front of the console, responded with her usual light and leisurely tone, so that it sounded like the opening of a grand banquet, and then—artificial angel Just pressed the button.

  The next moment, a white beam burst out from the battleship and hit the planet in front of it straight.

   Shining radiant fluctuations spread instantly at this moment, they are like ripples on a pond in circles, gradually spreading, spreading, towards the entire planet, from the outside to the inside.

  White radiation waves whizzed through everyone, every creature, every plant, and every piece of land. Most people just stood there blankly, looking up at the huge beam of light falling from the sky. And those creatures infected by Im's material collapsed instantly under the shroud of radiation fluctuations, their bodies turned into gray-white ashes in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared into the land with the wind, never to be seen again .

  Soon, reports came from Star Guards all over the place that both the Im substance and the mutated bioluminescent species infected with the Im substance were completely destroyed under the action of this radiation.

   "This is the end."

   "Then... is this world okay?"

"of course not."

  Hearing An's curious question, Duanmu Huai smiled wryly.

   "In fact, what they will face next is the big problem."

"Why???"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, everyone was taken aback.

   "But...Mr. Knight, the beast race has been wiped out, and the infection of the Im substance has also been removed. What is left??"

   Lorena also blinked in doubt, and asked her own question.

   Looking at them, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly.

   "It's very simple, the energy crisis."

   "Energy..."

   "...crisis??"

  Facing Duanmuhuai's answer, Ann, Guleya, Feilin, Lorena and others all showed puzzled expressions, but Rebecca, Xueli and Lani either suddenly realized or thought deeply.

   It's no wonder that, for Ann and Lorena's world, there is no concept of "energy" at all. For them, lighting is either candles or magic. In winter, people chop firewood for heating, and in summer, people chop firewood for cooking. Even some props driven by magic, if they lose their magic power, they can't be used, and it's just somewhat inconvenient for girls.

   But how this rises to the energy "crisis", the girls can't figure it out.

Even Ann is puzzled. After all, although she has indeed studied STEM engineering thoroughly, and the commercial area supervised by Her Royal Highness in Manalia is about to be completed, for Ann, the so-called energy Crisis is still a brand new concept.

  After all...their world has not yet developed to this stage.

  But what Duanmuhuai said is not wrong.

   Indeed, this kind of radiation has killed the Im-matter, and this means that the Yim-energy is also finished.

   Now, the world has no energy reserves at all.

  Next, either they can only return to the Middle Ages to cut firewood and dig coal again, or they have to vigorously develop renewable resources such as wind, hydropower and solar energy. As for oil, don't even think about nuclear power plants. The raw materials have been dug up long ago, and there is nothing left. And since almost all the equipment in this world has been replaced with devices driven by Im energy, this also means that those things... have become tattered now.

   After all, Im energy itself has been destroyed, hasn't it?

   It depends on what they will develop into in the future.

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked away and looked at the system interface in front of him.

  【The hidden mission "Survival and Destruction" is completed】

  【Mission Evaluation: Calm】

  【For human beings, the end of one suffering is the beginning of another, but human beings still will not stop and move forward】

  【Get random gift box +1】

   The task evaluation is not very high, probably because Duanmuhuai didn't discover the existence of this Im infection substance at the first time, and didn't deal with it until the other party turned into a plague. Hmm... Indeed, according to the standards of the trial court, Duanmuhuai's actions can only be regarded as not bad. After all, the judge is to investigate the existence of threats to human beings on each planet, and Duanmuhuai obviously did not find the danger of the Im substance, so he made up for it after the fact... The evaluation is generally understandable.

   After all, according to the style of the Inquisition Chamber, when danger is found, it must be cut and rooted. For example, when they go to a place and find someone who is bewitching the crowd, they must hang him immediately, instead of waiting for the other party to confuse a group of believers before doing it.

Of course, although the evaluation of the mission was mediocre, from the standpoint of Duanmuhuai, this training was perfect. It not only trained the ability of the Star Militia Army to fight together on the surface, but even gave them a valuable battle inside the giant beast. experience—the next thing to do is to raise the level and let them experience an interstellar war for themselves.

But this time, there is no need to search like before. Duanmuhuai has already locked a place where civilization is located. Although it has advanced to the level of space warfare, the level of technology has not yet reached the level of Chaos Legion. It is the perfect battlefield for exercising the space warfare ability of the star army.

   But before that, Duanmu Huai still needs to settle some things.

   "Okay, Miss Rebecca, Sydney, you have done a good job."

   Duanmu Huai looked at the two of them and nodded.

   "The cooperation between us has come to an end here. What are your plans next?"

   "Big uncle, what are you going to do next??"

  Xue Li looked at Duanmu Huai curiously, and asked, but facing Xue Li's question, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

   "Next, we will go to another battlefield to help mankind fight against alien invaders. You see, as I said, the purpose of the Tribunal is to protect mankind and eliminate all human threats."

   "Alien Invaders!"

  Hearing this, Sydney's eyes immediately lit up. She grew up watching similar movies, so naturally she is quite concerned about this aspect.

   "Big Uncle, I want to join the Inquisition too! Can I?"

"you??"

Hearing Xueli's request, Duanmuhuai thought for a while—well, the trial court is indeed short of a biologist. Although Xueli is not a motor oil guy, judging from her past experience, Duanmuhuai's purity and loyalty are acceptable. Guaranteed.

"Of course, but this is not a simple matter, do you understand? As a member of the Tribunal, you must fully obey orders, even those orders that seem unreasonable, this is not an easy task, Many times, we even kill tens of thousands of innocent people in order to destroy the root of evil, can you accept that?"

   "Woo... this..."

  Hearing this, Sydney hesitated.

   "I, I'm not sure..."

"very good."

  Looking at Sydney in front of him, Duanmuhuai smiled slightly.

   "You are qualified."

"Why?"

  Hearing this unexpected answer, Xueli opened her eyes wide in surprise, while Duanmuhuai reached out and touched her head.

"This is also a test. Indeed, the Tribunal will make sacrifices, but this kind of sacrifice is not something that can be made casually and easily. Those who maintain the idea of ​​'this is a last resort sacrifice for a brighter future' , is one of the root causes of falling into the dark abyss."

Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly. He has encountered similar situations many times when he was doing missions as a player. Many times the boss has done a lot of crazy things, but they all said "sacrifice is necessary, They had to do it for a great future."

   Players have also discussed this many times, that is-whether it is really necessary to use the means for the purpose, or even if it is for the purpose, there must be a choice.

  Taking drug experiments as an example, the standard of conforming to the "ethical code" is to first use animals for biological experiments, until the compound is determined to be harmless, and finally human experiments are allowed in clinical practice. Only drugs that have passed human clinical trials can be marketed.

   The amount of money spent in this process is countless, and even those mice who do biological experiments must be executed as soon as possible after the experiment is completed to reduce pain.

   This is "ethical", but clearly a waste of time, efficiency, and money.

   So, what method is not wasted?

   Of course, it is directly doing human experiments.

   Die hundreds of thousands of people, and then make a medicine that can save hundreds of millions of people.

  It's great, it's convenient, it's fast, and it's not wasteful.

  The only problem is that it violates morality.

  For example, as long as hundreds of thousands of people die, a drug that can completely cure cancer can be developed, so should these hundreds of thousands of people die for it?

   On this question, the players are divided into three factions.

  One group believes that procedural justice must be guaranteed, and then result justice. They believe that the reason why human beings are human is because of morality, norms, and even rationality and compassion for fellow humans. Without a just process, a just outcome cannot be guaranteed.

The other faction is completely the opposite. They agree that the result will be unscrupulous, and they say that the reason why human beings can stand at the top of the food chain is because of their ingenuity and survival by any means for the result, just like primitive society, idiots are so stupid Going to have a "fair contest" with a saber-toothed tiger, it must be able to fight but never singled out, and never let it go if it can use poison! Without such cruelty and ruthlessness, how could it be possible for people to evolve from survival and evolution to the present level?

  The last faction belongs to half and half. They agree that sometimes in order to achieve the goal, some means must be adopted instead of stubbornly insisting on dogmatism. However, they cannot completely abandon the bottom line of being a human being.

For example, human experiments on drugs are possible, but you can’t use innocent people. Instead, you can use those criminals, especially those who have committed the most heinous crimes. Living is a waste of food and taxes. It’s better to use them for human experiments, which can be regarded as waste Take advantage of it.

   To put it simply, the last faction has flexible moral standards and walks on the gray dividing line instead of choosing black and white.

  Of course, the three parties did not discuss who was right and who was wrong in the end. This is the case online, and it is also the same in games. However, because of Xinghai OL's high degree of freedom and this kind of in-depth discussion of human nature, it has become one of the most topical online games in Duanmuhuai's world.

  If the Tribunal is compared to doctors, then each doctor's attitude and thinking are naturally different.

  For example, in the face of cancer patients, some doctors may directly suggest that the other party amputate. Although this lost a leg, the patient saved his life.

  However, some doctors may choose to treat patients conservatively and do everything possible to keep the patient's body. After all, everyone is raised by their biological parents. If they can have a healthy body, who would not want it?

  Of course, if it cannot be preserved and there is a possibility of spreading, then it must be amputated.

  After all, the job of doctors is to cure diseases and save lives. On the premise of saving the lives of patients, what they do depends entirely on their own ideas and technical means.

  However, this practice is sometimes necessary, but it can also be a source of corruption.

   After all, how do you decide who is a necessary sacrifice and who is not?

  An innocent civilian, and a thousand criminals, is it necessary to eliminate the former in order to save the latter?

  This is also the reason why every judge will be censored after issuing an extermination order. After all, who knows if this person has degenerated into heresy in the name of "for mankind".

  Sydney's purity and loyalty can be guaranteed by Duanmu Huai, and he really needs someone in the organization who won't say "There's no way" at every turn. At least, this can be regarded as a kind of check and balance.

   "So, what about Miss Rebecca?"

Duanmuhuai confirmed that Sydney would stay, and then looked at Rebecca. He had never fought with Rebecca, and he had only heard about the situation of this lady—after all, Resident Evil 0 is an old game, and the old The current system doesn't support it anymore, but Duanmuhuai really doubts whether this person used the T-virus for himself. According to this timeline, from Rebecca's Resident Evil 0 to now, at least the past twenty years Alright.

  But why is she still as tender as a twenty-year-old girl?

  This is not scientific at all!

   "I... intend to go back and continue to supervise the anti-bioterrorism operation."

   Rebecca hesitated for a moment before speaking. After this operation, she finally knew how powerful and terrifying the Tribunal was, so Rebecca became more determined to protect her world and eliminate the rampant biochemical terrorism in that world. Otherwise, if something happens again one day, the trial court will issue an extermination order directly... What can we do?

   "Well... that's fine, since that's the case, then I want to entrust you, Miss Rebecca, to start a side business."

   "Side business??"

"Yes, you have also seen that this planet needs to be rebuilt, and energy needs to be innovated again. I hope that in your name, I can import a large amount of renewable energy equipment from that world, such as solar energy, and so on. As for the reward... …pay in gold bullion."

   After all, there are dilapidated and abandoned cities everywhere on this planet, and the gold bars in the banks in the last days are naturally useless, and they have been collected by Duanmuhuai's people.

   Now it is used to carry out the reconstruction activities of this planet, which can also be regarded as waste utilization.

   Otherwise, these gold bars can’t be eaten, can’t be eaten, can’t be drunk, what’s the point?

"I see."

  After listening to Duanmuhuai's request, Rebecca thought for a moment, then nodded.

   "But I need to report this to my superiors."

"up to you."

   Duanmuhuai didn't care about this.

  After arranging everything and sending Rebecca back to his own world, Duanmu Huai also returned to his room, and rubbed his hands together.

   Next, it’s time for ten consecutive withdrawals!
