Human Shackles

There is very little knowledge in this world. Luo Kai rummaged through the library of the sports school. He was looking for knowledge about electricity. Unfortunately, he found nothing. He didn't even see the word "electricity". No, it was new. There is no such word in the text at all.

This makes Luo Kai a little bit incredible. Electricity is the key for human civilization to move towards the information age. The big explosion of science and technology also comes from electricity. If there is no electricity, the ladder of civilization and progress will be interrupted!

After returning home at night, Luo Kai lay on the bed racking his brains to recall scientific knowledge.

Since the birth of human civilization, the exploration of the outside world has never stopped. After the Second World War, anthropologists summarized past knowledge and introduced new ones. From this, two new schools of thought were born, one is materialism and the other is In terms of spiritualism, these two schools of thought can be simply divided into science and theology.

Needless to say science, it emphasizes materialist dialectics, which means that any substance has its own set of principles, and all it needs is exploration and discovery. The philosophy of mind is completely different. It emphasizes that everything in the world is centered on human beings. That is to say, human beings' cognition of all things comes from "I", or the world does not exist, only "I" exists. This "I" is not myself in the narrow sense, but a kind of will. In ancient China, it was called "I". It is the way of heaven, and Westerners call it God!

The lack of electricity cannot be explained by science, because the world is a complex electromagnetic network. We can only guess that electricity was a manifest energy before the catastrophe, the same as light, fire, heat, wind and other energies that humans can discover. , but after the catastrophe, this energy suddenly turned into a hidden energy that humans could not discover, and became a kind of dark matter.

My head hurts just thinking about it. It’s like thinking about where I came from and where I’m going. It’s something that can never be understood at the human level of life.

I don't know why, but at the end of Luo Kai's mind, a beautiful woman with long wavy hair suddenly appeared. It was obvious that she was a supporter of Xin Xue.

Luo Kai shook his head and began to gradually slow down his heartbeat. He now wanted to find a heartbeat rate that could soothe his body and mind without causing him to fall asleep immediately.

Just when he seemed to be sleeping, there was a slight tapping sound from the eaves of the roof. The sound was very soft. If Luo Kai hadn't entered an indescribable state of emptiness, he would not have noticed it. In a blink of an eye, there was someone speeding on it.

Luo Kai opened his eyes, put on some clothes at will, and opened the door gently. Under the cold moonlight, there was a figure running on the eaves in the distance. His figure was extremely flexible and extremely fast.

Feeling a little curious, he climbed to the roof, slightly shrinking his body and chasing after the man. Since he understood the turtle breath technique, his control over his body has once again reached a new level. He can even shrink his pores to prevent his breath from leaking out.

In the darkness, Luo Kai jumped directly on the eaves like an ape. The darkness had no effect on him. His super senses constantly fed back the surrounding environment, and his flexible body like a civet cat found the most suitable foothold. Soon he gradually approached the figure. What surprised him was that the figure had a long tail on his butt. He was actually a strange person. No wonder he was so sensitive!

After chasing, Luo Kai found that he had arrived in Nancheng District. In Nancheng District, there was a Silla Lane specially set up for aliens, where a large number of deformed people gathered.

The rate of newborn malformations has become extremely high since the Cataclysm. Some people call it atavism, while others think it is human beings adjusting themselves and evolving.

The beauty of appearance directly affects people's perception. Abnormal people are rejected by normal human society, but they are still a kind of human beings after all. They cannot be left to fend for themselves. Every human city has a residence specially designed for aliens. keeping it.

Arriving at Xinluo Alley, the environment has changed. There are dilapidated brick and tile houses scattered all over the place. The cement pavement has not been repaired for a long time and is full of potholes. The fluorescent stone lamps here no longer have the function of emitting light, so that the entire block It was pitch dark, with only the candlelight lit by some people providing a little warmth in the dark night.

The figure went deep into the alley, turned left and right, and came to a simple courtyard. He knocked lightly on the door with a special frequency. The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties opened the door. After opening the door, the two of them said a few words and walked into the courtyard.

Luo Kai vaguely felt that he had seen the middle-aged man somewhere before. No, he had never seen his appearance before, but his eyes were very familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of it. He hesitated in his heart. The stranger's agile figure attracted him, but he was not interested in what they were doing.

Just as he was about to leave, another figure appeared on the deserted street. The man was wrapped in black robes, tall and strong, and carried a crossbow on his back. He also walked to the house and knocked on it. Knocking on the door, the middle-aged man soon welcomed him in again.

Immediately afterwards, another man wrapped in black robes appeared, and in just a moment, three men in black robes entered the house one after another.

These mysterious men in black robes aroused Luo Kai's interest. Among the people he came into contact with, only the black guards in Jiuyuan Farm Village liked to wear black. Could these people be the black guards?

Luo Kai was a little excited. He jumped down from the house and slowly approached the house. He leaned against the wall and listened for a while. It was quiet inside. Not even a sound was made. After thinking about it, he moved lightly. Climb up to the roof. This old-fashioned brick house has a glass skylight on the roof to let in light during the day.

Just as he was about to look down through the skylight, a feeling of danger suddenly arose in his heart. His head shrank back. A sharp crossbow arrow penetrated the skylight and passed in front of his eyes. Luo Kaixin was shocked. He hurriedly backed away and turned around to run away when three men in black robes jumped on the eaves, standing in a triangular position, each holding a crossbow and aiming at him.

"who are you?"

The power of the crossbow was incomparable to that of bullets, but Luo Kai remained calm and began to increase his heart rate.

The middle-aged man also walked out of the house at this moment. When he saw Luo Kai, his expression became a little strange, and suddenly said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. This little friend is also a guest I invited. Please come down and talk in detail."

The three men in black robes looked at each other, put away their crossbows, and jumped down from the eaves.

Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little confused. He felt more familiar with this middle-aged man when he spoke, but his memory did not include this person. Could it be that he knew his original self?

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Kai jumped off the eaves and followed the middle-aged man into the house. As his strength increased, Luo Kai became more and more confident. Even if these people were to harm him, he was not afraid.

Although this small courtyard looks dilapidated on the outside, it is extremely elegantly decorated inside. The floor is covered with thick carpets, the tables, chairs and benches are carved with antique patterns, and the fluorescent stone lights are soft and bright.

"Everyone, please take a seat." The middle-aged man made a gesture of invitation.

A total of six people sat around the Eight Immortals table in the living room, looking for the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com. They didn't speak, just quietly sipping tea.

The three men in black robes took off their black robes, revealing their weather-beaten faces. The stranger with the tail was a young man who looked about the same age as Luo Kai. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his appearance was very ugly. He did not look like He sat like a normal person, but squatted on the chair with his feet like a monkey, holding the tea cup with both hands, looking around while drinking, obviously very impatient.

The middle-aged man stared at Luo Kai for a while, with a smile on his face, and said: "This time we are summoned for a big deal. Have you ever heard of elemental coral?"

Except for Luo Kai, the other four people looked shocked. The monkey-like alien was the first to say: "But that foreign object growing in the sea? Didn't it mean that it had been destroyed by the ferocious beast in the sea?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, this elemental coral is a kind of alien life that grows in the deep sea. It is a creature between life and non-life. To be precise, it is a semi-silicon-based life form. This kind of creature is difficult to destroy, it was just divided and dismembered. Although most of them were devoured by ferocious beasts, there are still some floating on the sea. I got the news that a small section of elemental coral is currently in Longyang County!"

Luo Kai was also surprised. You must know that all currently known life is carbon-based life, that is, organisms based on carbon elements as organic substances. Silicon-based life is a concept that only exists in science fiction movies. Silicon It is a metal element and is an inorganic substance. Silicon-based life can be called a metal-based life form. Simply put, if a robot has self-intelligence, it is a silicon-based life.

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, glanced at Luo Kai and continued: "The research value of elemental coral is far greater than that of ferocious beasts. The specific effect is that it may allow life to produce a special evolution and master the power of an element! "
