Durin's Diary

Chapter 338 Life will find its own way out.exe
Science, like politics, is the most extreme form of rationality. The former can disregard everything for ideals, while the latter can risk one's life for reality.

When it comes to science, people always say that science has no borders, but in fact, scientists and politicians all have nationalities. They have their own opinions and their own sense of right and wrong. Science and politics are just two fruits on the same tree.

They are all born to be good at dividing people into different levels, giving them different identities and branding them with different marks.

Is that too much?

Of course it is an exaggeration, but one is good without distinguishing right from wrong, and the other is evil without asking right from wrong.

The former is science, the latter is politics, and of course there are also geniuses who combine the two.

In short, in Du Lin's eyes, there is no specific difference between the two.

According to the records of Ceres XI, the damaged compartment was caused by a rebellion.

Yes, even in the darkest moments, mankind’s desire to seize power outweighs the fear of life and death.

This is human beings, creatures that make people laugh just by looking at them.

However, the rebellion was unsuccessful, and eventually the area had to be abandoned by the Old Era civilization because it became uninhabitable at that time - food was scarce, equipment was lost one by one, and most importantly, with the proliferation of green-skinned orcs and alien species, the area was no longer suitable for human survival on the surface.

This is why the last survivors abandoned this place.

Ceris XI is the core system of the old era's refuge. He cannot leave here and can only watch the changes of time day after day.

At the beginning, there were still some humans who were not afraid of death and would come back to look for something useful, but gradually, no one came anymore.

It can only watch as the dust buries everything.

Until the grassland elves built a new town here, Lublin City was far away, but Lublin Town chose this place. Sometimes it would come to the market near the entrance and watch civilization revive again.

This is me.

Ceris XI brought Du Lin to the core module. He opened the explosion-proof door and took Du Lin to watch Ceris XI's true body through a glass.

An AI core was hidden on the other side of the glass wall. On the other side of the wall was a vacuum-like environment with a constant temperature of four degrees. This brilliant industrial crystal was shining, connected by countless pipelines, and Du Lin was dazzled by it.

The perfect combination of industry and science, and the financial world? What kind of shit is that? It's not even fit to carry the shoes of workers and scientists. It thinks it's superior to others.

"This is the first time I've seen a core system of a shelter that's not a brain." The dwarf Roth, who came along, exclaimed as he looked at the prismatic crystal connected by pipes.

Those were created by scientific groups in the European Union and North America. They were modified using prisoners' brains and are very prone to accidents.

Ceris 11 explained.

"Yes, I heard that there are children like you on the Sun Elf Island, but most of the shelter cores opened there have gone crazy." Jones sighed.

Prolonged loneliness, data corruption, and the aging of biological brains are all problems. Director Sun has always opposed the use of brain wetware as the core system of the shelter. In order to erase the personality of the prisoners' brains, the EU and North American scientific teams have conducted a large number of inhumane experiments and used excessive amounts of drugs, but there is still a certain possibility that true erasure cannot be achieved. I have seen the personality awakened after the core system of the brain was turned on, and those EU and North American scientists would use electric current to forcibly burn the brain.

"How could those scientists be so cruel?" Anta said with a look of pity. "They killed prisoners and used their brains for experiments. I thought all the sins had been wiped out at this moment, but they still refused to let these people go."

To achieve victory in their struggle against Tainan, they resorted to every possible means, viewing these brains as mere consumables. While the Earth Alliance may appear united, its members are ultimately divided. Director Sun remarked that her team is nothing more than a forced melon.

“It’s not sweet, but it’s a pity to throw it away.”

Du Lin sighed.

Fortunately, you're here, Zhu Longzi. As a creation of southern Thailand's most advanced technology, a pinnacle of human engineering, I heard that you're the lord here. "Yes, I am the lord," Du Lin answered absentmindedly.

On the lower level of the living area, there is a small automated factory. This should have been an asset of the Earth Federation and should not have been used arbitrarily. However, the Earth Federation no longer exists on this planet. I can only give it to you as a gift. I will also join your team. I only hope that civilization can always defeat barbarism.

"This is as it should be. Civilization shouldn't be ravaged by barbarism, and you are in my territory, so you should be mine." Having said this, Du Lin turned and looked at the five responsible persons: "If you have any objections, please speak up now."

Melinda walked over to Elaine.

Beside Anta, the air was twisting in disorder.

Melara Malala's Space Blade.

Eighth-ring spell, automatic attack space greatsword, the most terrifying close-range combat tactic.

As for their team, the local expedition team had already distanced themselves from them at this time.

When Master Du Lin wants to do something, it is not their turn to step forward, and it is even more impossible for them to stand in front of the master's knife.

"Of course, everything belongs to Lord Durin, but we should also have the freedom to publish papers, right?" Mr. Jones asked Durin with a bitter face.

"That's no problem. I'm sorry things have come to this, but I can refund all the money you paid to the territory, and I'll also pay you a salary. I think it's enough to compensate you for your hard work." After saying that, Du Lin took out a checkbook and wrote a number on it. "This is the salary for the five of you. Please divide it equally. As for the money you pay to the territory, it will be deposited into the town's account. It will be a few days late, so please forgive me."

"Wow." The five people took a look at the checkbook that Durin handed over with the magician's hand, and immediately burst into laughter.

"As expected, he is the heir of the Elsh family. That's great." The Xia Luoluo siblings seemed very satisfied with the numbers.

"Sometimes human lords take everything from us. Compared to them, you are an angel." The halfling Mironni laughed.

"Next time you make a discovery somewhere else, you can ask me to help you make a fortune together." Du Lin said with a smile.

"That's for sure. You are a legendary lord. I believe no one dares to bully you." The dwarf smiled happily.

You see, as long as the money is in place, both the host and the guests can have a great time.

After sending them away, Durin called the town guards and announced one thing - their second son could also join the town's garrison.

But they still need training, and with so few people, they definitely cannot protect this place. Du Lin did not hesitate - he directly sent a notice to the Ring of Truth, and then took the girls into the automatic factory on the bottom floor.

"Is this the brand new automatic factory from the old era? The oil on it hasn't dried yet, it's so beautiful." Elaine looked at everything in front of her closely and chirped like a bird.

Durin looked at Ceris Eleven and asked, "Can you still contact your companions?"

Ceris Eleven shook his head.

I only have a local area network now.

This is bad news.

Of course, there will be good news.

But I remember that everyone is in the eastern part of the country.
