I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Other long-lived races also have various problems, and difficulty in childbirth is the most basic one.

This difficulty is not only reflected in pregnancy, but also the social support structure caused by longevity will make them have little physical desire to have children.

If the life of an individual is really long enough, it will not have much desire to reproduce, because there is no need. It has enough time to enjoy everything by itself.

So when the technologies she came into contact with increasingly involved life extension, genetic optimization, and even the quasi-immortality of biological intelligent life, she became more and more cautious.

Because she also didn't know what the consequences would be if the average life expectancy of human society was extended by twenty, forty, or even hundreds or thousands of years in the future.

The increase in life expectancy affects all aspects, including the increase or decrease in per capita material consumption, the future promotion opportunities for the newborn population, and all kinds of conceivable and unexpected problems.

“Ha, ha, huh…”

Taiya leaned against the angled wall, gasping for breath and taking the time to recover her strength, while at the same time she skillfully reloaded the magazine of her self-defense pistol which had been emptied of bullets. The angle allowed her to avoid having to deal with threats from behind, so she was in a relatively safe position in the enclosed space.

Although the darkness did not allow her to see clearly what was around her, she did not want to bear the pressure of being surrounded by enemies.

It was Taya's bad luck. The underground city complex was huge, and her team of three was assigned a reconnaissance mission in a certain area.

The air surrounding this underground city contains a large amount of gold and silver ore particles, which are generally used to shield radio signals.

In the past, this city may have existed completely independently from the outside world, and people living in the city could not receive signals from the outside world.

Of course, they could not ask for help. After the first source of infection broke out, all that was left to them was despair and helplessness. Their last cries could only float in the gold and silver ore granular layer.

There was an elevator shaft underneath the area that Taiya and her team were searching, and the supporting superstructure had been destroyed over the years. As soon as the three members of the team searched inside, the entire area collapsed due to the weight of the mecha, and the three people standing on it were caught off guard and fell down.

When falling, Taya barely managed to use her hand to gain leverage and fell into one of the floors, avoiding falling to her death at the bottom of the elevator shaft, but she also lost contact with her teammates in the process.

There are also a large number of deformed creatures in this hidden underground building.

As a psychic, Taiya does not need to wear bulky mecha to move around, but now she is somewhat eager to wear a mecha.

Because the number of mutants is too large, and the weapons and ammunition she carries in the exoskeleton are not as sufficient as those in the mecha.

After she roughly cleaned up the deformed monsters that were attracted to her, she had used up half of the magazine of the assault rifle in her hand. She was so distressed that she had to take out the self-defense pistol she used as a decoration to save ammunition.

After roughly recovering her strength, Taiya began to think about how to save herself. It was not realistic to rely on her teammates at the moment. They also couldn't fly down the elevator shaft directly. It was likely that they would detect the location of her signal layer by layer.

So the best way is for her to go up and her teammates go down, so that they can meet up as quickly as possible.

In fact, it is not a bad idea to wait for rescue on the spot, but this has certain risks. After all, no one knows whether her teammates will arrive first or she will be killed by the enemy first in an unfamiliar environment.

Walking cautiously in the dark corridor, Taiya could easily sense the distribution of deformed monsters within a radius of 200 meters through the mental force field.

He raised his head and stabilized his shooting posture, and with two consecutive shots, he shot the two deformed creatures not far away in the head at the same time.

With the previous experience summarized, the weapon configuration of the second batch of teams entering the other world basically adopted more targeted modifications.

In terms of firearms, in addition to replacing general-purpose machine guns with MG42, which has a higher rate of fire, better heat dissipation efficiency and lighter weight, almost all other firearms are equipped with silencers to cope with the sensitive hearing of the deformed bodies.

For example, high-explosive grenades and fragmentation grenades were basically not rationed, and were replaced by thermite grenades and white phosphorus grenades.

For carbon-based creatures, it is obvious that sustained fire attacks can cause greater damage to them while causing less noise.

As a psychic, Taya has a simpler way to deal with the enemy, but she doesn't want to waste too much energy on these consumables.

Compared to following a large force, Taiya, fighting individually, can take advantage of her small target. Although she cannot deal with the army of mutants head-on, she can shield her spiritual stance and make herself ignored by the opponent's perception.

Taiya was unknowingly affected while avoiding and hiding. When she pushed open a door, the scene of the world behind the door shocked her. She looked at the two full moons hanging high in the dark world outside the door in horror.

Taya stepped back and closed the door in panic, her heart beating violently. She turned around and tried to look for another way out. However, when she looked at the corridor again, everything was different.

There was nothing in her perception, only deathly silence.

Taiya vigilantly took off the assault rifle behind her back, took out the enchanted magazine that Mi Wei gave them before leaving and replaced the original magazine on the rifle, while unlocking the throwing box on her waist.

The bullets loaded in the magazine are not made of metal, but are polished from the crystallization of the church's faith. They are filled with the power of faith, and the power of each bullet is comparable to that of a grenade.

Such things are naturally expensive, and each of them was only given two magazines as a trump card to enhance firepower output when necessary.

However, she really couldn't sense anything on the rest of the journey. The huge and complex number of deformed bodies that were there before were gone, and instead there were empty meeting rooms.

Pushing open the door of one of the conference rooms, the furnishings inside were similar to those of the conference rooms she had seen before, and on the walls hung portraits of four human men.

Generally speaking, those who can be hung on the wall are not ordinary people, so Taiya looked carefully and found that there was a metal nameplate under each portrait frame.

After taking a few more glances to memorize the appearance of everyone in the portrait, Taiya looked elsewhere. An electronic device on the huge desk caught Taiya's eye, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on the device. An invisible energy was transmitted from her brain. The electronic device suddenly lit up and was successfully activated. A sophisticated holographic projection appeared in front of Taiya.

In the picture, a brown-haired middle-aged man is arguing with two people in front of him: "President White's ideas are outdated. We should not resist. Evolving into a new human being is the future of mankind."

"Hasn't all the efforts of mankind since its development been to escape the obstacles set for us on the path of life evolution? Now this opportunity is in front of us, why should we refuse to embrace a better tomorrow?"

"If you join forces with me, I can guarantee that you will be reborn!"

"..."

The conference room fell into a long silence. The other two people sitting at the desks had strange expressions on their faces, as if they were in a difficult situation to make a decision.

'Arthur, the Akar Director of the Chamber of Commerce, how is he?'

Arthur stood up, his white pupils exposed to the camera, he said with a cigarette in his mouth, "Don't worry, they are on the same side as us now."

'What about Adam? Did he agree, too?'

"What else? His family won't allow him to reject my offer."

The other person seemed relieved: "If that's the case... then fine."

"Old White...President."

Taiya turned his head and looked at one of the portraits on the wall. In it, an old man with white hair and beard looked at the camera with a smile. The nameplate below read [Vimmond White]

Trying to search for information about Vimond White in the device's internal database, Taiya saw a densely packed list of brilliant resumes.

The hero who led the first suicide army to attack an alien spaceship, the first savior in the history of civilization to unite the countries of the world, and the founder of the [Underground City Network], [Guardian Project], and [Shelter Project].

At the same time, in the video photos of the successful conclusion of the Unity Conference, Terra also found the identities of the three conspirators in the video.

In that occasion where representatives from various countries gathered together so many that they looked like passers-by, their position was second only to old White, which was enough to demonstrate the huge power behind them.

But their strength was destructive to this civilization. Recalling the video recording just now and the huge robot corpse they encountered when they first set foot on the alien land.

Taiya shook his head slightly.

There is no doubt that old White failed in the end.

Taya walked out of the room. After she left, the equipment that was working normally flashed a few times and then suddenly went out, as if the smooth operation just now was just an illusion.

This is the abnormality of psychics, and it is also the fundamental reason why spiritual magicians and psychics are divided into two professions.

Psychics possess the trait of 'mind over matter', an ability to influence and change reality through correction of self-cognition.

Correct reality and thoughts to achieve synchronization.

Simply put, if a psychic thinks a damaged computer can be started normally, it will start up and be used normally.

I think you can use it, then you can use it!

Depending on the psychic's ability level, the impact of cognitive correction can be strong or weak, and the strength and sophistication of things will also affect the amount of her mental energy loss.

Of course, we can't just make assumptions. At least there is no psychic who has reached this level yet.

For most psychics, the mind is more important than the object, and serves as a key to interact with the real world.

For example, if this computer cannot be turned on because there is no electricity, the computer can start normally after the cognition is corrected.

The reason why the computer can start up normally is basically because the power supply system failure has been repaired, or the power supply has been successfully connected, achieving her purpose in the most reasonable way in reality, as if the real world is helping to correct and make up for the logical bug.

Even if logic cannot make up for it, it can exist in reality for a period of time in a way that violates the rules of reality.

This is also the reason why Media is trying to transform its electronic technology. This ability is a dimensionality reduction attack on inanimate objects such as intelligent programs.

No matter how powerful the encryption is, its password system, firewall, system authentication, etc., no matter how complex they are, they are almost non-existent in front of psychics and will be cracked in the simplest and crudest way.

No one wants the missile they launched to land on their head...

During the subsequent search, Taiya gradually guessed where this strange space was.

In fact, although this place looks vast and empty, in fact, only the airspace around the unusual buildings is real. Other areas, such as the sky, are more like shadows from another dimension projected here.

So if nothing unexpected happens, this is the secret place where the group of traitors led by Arthur secretly discuss various plans of raping people.

This independent space might have been given to him by the so-called aliens, and the purpose was very clear, which was to train human traitors.

On the door of the last room, Taya saw Adam Burton's nameplate, pushed the door open and walked in.

The furnishings inside were a bit messy, probably because they left in a hurry after successfully selling Wenming and following Taijun to enjoy a good life.

Taiya easily cracked the password of the safe on the cabinet and took out a folded letter from it.

Dear Adam

"You and William are my last hope. I will die tomorrow. The other members of the Joint Council are determined to get rid of me."

"In fact, I already knew that this day was inevitable. I just wanted to buy us some time to complete the guardian and the wall."

"Now they can do whatever they want with the world, please don't let me down."

【Wymond White】

At the last moment, he was still thinking about the remaining humans in this world, but unfortunately

Human beings never disappoint when it comes to disappointing others.

Chapter 397 The Final Roar

and many more...

There was also a note inside the envelope: "Although I can't change anything, I have sent the energy core out. Rest in peace, my old friend."

After putting the letter back into the envelope, Taya stood up and looked for clues about Arthur. This space was safer than anywhere else. If there was anything that needed to be stored, this was the safest place.

She pushed open several doors in succession. Some were offices of other members, and some doors led to other places in the outside world, probably their headquarters in various parts of the world. She even saw the "corpse" of the guards, which was where they first landed.

The outside world connected to one of the doors was just a huge deep pit, and some building ruins could only be seen from a very far distance.

Without thinking too much, Taya closed the door and continued to open the next one. Sure enough, she found Arthur's office at the end of the corridor.

In his office, Taiya found a dense amount of confidential information and data intelligence about the previous civilization's government. The variety and richness of the information was astonishing.

In addition to various government reports, bill votes, and progress in government-funded research laboratories, several observation reports caught Taya's attention.
