Chapter 319 Law of the Jungle
To be honest, Duanmu Huai also knew that what he said would definitely bring uneasiness and fear to the girls, but he also had to explain it.
Because, that's the truth.
The universe is not a romantic place, just like the jungle. When you enter the jungle for the first time, you will be shocked by its beauty, magnificence, and mystery.
Then, you will immediately feel what is the law of the jungle.
The weak eat the strong.
Yes, the beautiful jungle is never peaceful. Carnivores hide deep in the jungle and attack their prey with eager eyes. Herbivores devour those beautiful plants and use them as their own nourishment. Fireflies flying in the air are pecked by birds, and the birds become a meal for other animals.
The strong devours the weak, and power is justice.
This is the law of the jungle.
The same goes for the universe.
Duanmu Huai rarely uses the word "justice" to describe himself and the trial court, because to put it bluntly, in the final analysis, the so-called justice means the majority of violence. The essence of the victory of justice over evil is that the majority defeats the minority. And within this, the nature of justice is constantly changing. With the development of civilization and the evolution of the times, the definition of justice is also constantly changing.
For example, slavery, in the eyes of modern people, is naturally barbaric, backward and evil. Not to mention sacrificial burials and human sacrifices, they are simply extremely bloody and do not treat people as human beings.
But how long did slavery exist? 1500 years.
What about feudal society? Ignorance, backwardness, decadence, constant feudal superstition, and a clear hierarchy.
But it lasted for 2000 years.
If it is a fairy tale, then evil obviously cannot last for so long, because justice will eventually defeat evil... Haha, that's nonsense.
The biggest reason why these systems have been able to last for so long is that people support them. And once the majority of people do not recognize and support these systems, it will be a matter of time before they are overturned. At that time, what was originally justice has become evil, and what was once evil has become justice.
Just like in ancient times, when the emperor crusaded against those peasant uprisings, he always issued a proclamation, denounced these rebels for causing trouble in the world, being unjust for profit, disobeying orthodoxy, deceiving the public with evil words, etc. The rebels denounced the current failure of the imperial court, the complaints of the people, the emperor's moral misconduct and alienation, the corruption and bribery of the imperial court, and the people's livelihood...
In the eyes of both parties, everything they do is justice, and the other party is evil.
However, in the end, only one party's justice can survive.
Throughout history, basically in the early dynasty, most of the "justice" who "maintained the royal power" won, while the "evil" who "camped against the court" failed. But in the late dynasty, the original justice of "maintaining the royal power" failed, and instead the "evil" of those who "disobeyed the emperor" won.
It boils down to the transfer of most violence.
This is the so-called principle of gaining a lot of help and losing a lot of help.
When most people have vested interests, they will of course find ways to maintain a system that is in their own interests. And those who resist this system will fail.
In turn, when the majority of people become victims of the system, they will naturally rise up to resist the system and overthrow it.
This is why slavery and feudalism endured for thousands of years and were later overthrown.
With the development of productivity and social progress, the rigid system has not kept up with the changing times, resulting in uneven distribution of benefits. Most people are squeezed under this system and will naturally feel resentment and lead to rebellion.
Therefore, in the final analysis, what most people agree on is justice, both in ancient and modern times.
There is justice in quantity and truth in firepower.
No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, it cannot resist reality.
Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao wrote "An Essay on Yuzhou for Yuan Shao" to attack Cao Cao. It was written impassionedly and compared Cao Cao to Zhao Gao, who caused trouble in the Qin Dynasty, and the Lu family, who conspired to usurp the Han Dynasty. He called on everyone to "raise troops and rage, and punish the barbarians for their rebellion." ". Even Cao Cao broke into a cold sweat after reading it. He even ignored his headache and jumped up from the bed, almost scared to death.
However, there is no use in combining eggs. Everyone knows who has the last laugh in the Three Kingdoms.
This is also the reason why Duanmuhuai decided that the Tribunal will not intervene in the internal war of mankind, because the internal war of mankind is ultimately a cleansing and evolution of the system. What kind of system can allow human civilization to develop, in the final analysis, is for them You have the final say. Therefore, it is meaningless to claim to help justice defeat evil. If the end and reform of the system are historical inevitability, then the intervention of the Tribunal will only delay it but not stop it. Therefore, in this case, even if the human society has a dog's brain, , Duanmu Huai will not care.
If you want to prove that your system and beliefs are superior to the other party, then you must show victory to prove it.
No loser can dominate the development of human history, both in ancient and modern times.
But when it comes to external issues, that's another story.
As Duanmuhuai said to An, this is the same as having too many humans to reclaim wasteland forests and then being attacked by local native creatures. Aliens are such a threat, and the development of productivity is the guarantee for the evolution and survival of human society. Therefore, in order to protect mankind, the Inquisition will take action to eliminate or expel them.
In fact, similar plots are not uncommon in games, so they have also aroused discussion among players. Many players are also disgusted with this plot, because in their opinion, it is just like the white people who colonized the Americas and killed the natives to rob each other's property. It is an evil behavior and not worth promoting.
However, some players said that this analogy is incorrect. First of all, Native Americans are also humans, and aliens are not humans. The two sides are not the same race at all, so how can they be compared. According to your point of view, pigs are quite smart and cows are also full of emotions. People should not kill them for meat and use cows as coolies. What is the difference between this and enslaving aliens? Could it be that just because the other person looks like a human being, he is being lenient?
Secondly, they are not doing it for their own selfish desires, but for the development of mankind. So what do you mean, for the sake of illusory justice, just sit back and watch mankind die? This will make you happy, right? This is hypocrisy of yours! Human beings will do anything to survive. If you let your compatriots die for the sake of so-called morality, you are not worthy of being human at all! It’s simply rape!
No matter what the reason is, betraying humanity is an unforgivable crime!
If Duanmu Huai posted his task on the forum, he would probably be able to fill hundreds of floors without any problem.
But he didn't have to, after all, he had already made his choice.
So Duanmu Huai took hundreds of Astra Militarum troops on a Moon-class cruiser to the location mentioned by Dardaniel and contacted him. Dardaniel was naturally pleasantly surprised to learn that the Tribunal was willing to help him.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Judge, I didn't expect..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Dardaniel's words, and then stared at Dardaniel.
"I am not doing this for you or for profit, but for mankind. For the Tribunal, mankind will always be the target of our protection, so if I find that you have done something harmful to mankind... …Do you understand what I mean?”
"...Of course, Lord Judge, I understand very well."
"That's good."
Hearing Dardaniel's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded.
"As for that, it's okay to leave it all to us."
"Of course, I have given orders to the frontline bases over there, asking them to all obey your command. If you need anything, you can contact me directly."
"That's good."
Duanmuhuai cut off the communication, then looked at the planet in front of him and issued an order.
"Let's go."
Meanwhile, Pandora Forward Base.
"Hey, the atmosphere here seems a little unusual today?"
While looking at the supplies and personnel that had just been delivered, a nearby soldier patrolling with a firearm looked curiously at his companion and asked. After all, you must know that they were called up early in the morning today to inspect the entire base, saying that they were going to welcome some big shot.
"You haven't heard?"
Looking at his colleagues, another soldier curled his lips.
"The higher-ups seem to be very dissatisfied with the current progress of the base, so they sent new people here to take over."
"What a joke."
Hearing this, the soldier suddenly darkened his face.
"The higher-ups don't even know how dangerous this ghost place is. Are they planning to send us to die in the jungle?"
"Okay, this is not a problem you should consider."
At this time, another veteran came over and glanced at everyone seriously.
"The orders have been issued from above, and we just need to obey them! Don't worry, I heard this time that the above knew that we couldn't deal with those blue guys in the jungle, so they sent a stronger team here."
"A stronger team? What? They can't possibly send troops here."
"That's not necessarily true... Hey, everyone is on alert, they are coming!"
At this moment, the veteran seemed to have received the message and hurriedly shouted loudly, and then saw the soldiers around him quickly gathering. Then, they saw several strange-shaped black planes roaring across the sky, arriving above the airport in front of them, and slowly landing downwards.
"What the hell is this?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the strange aircraft in front of them. Not only were the shapes of these aircraft far different from the aerospace planes they knew, but the weapons they were equipped with were also very unique. Not only that, all aircraft have golden skull and warhammer patterns on the sides and front. "Hey, this looks exactly like the villain robot from those cartoons I watched when I was a kid."
"Shut up, you."
Looking at these weird fighters in front of them, the soldiers nearby whispered to each other, but soon, when the hatch opened and dark, huge figures appeared in front of them, all these soldiers shut up.
"What the hell are these...?"
Seeing the two-meter-five-meter-tall black armored giant slowly walking down from the fighter plane, the soldiers were all stunned. Although they also have exoskeleton mechanical armor that is more than three meters high, compared with those mechanical armors with thin arms and legs, these warriors wearing black armor look more burly and majestic, and the guns they hold in their hands are also Even more ferocious and terrifying. Not to mention the shining skull and warhammer symbols on their chests, which is even more frightening.
"Hey, hello, sir."
When Duanmuhuai walked into the base, he quickly saw a man coming up to him with a smile.
"I am Parker, the leader of the base. I welcome you and your men to Hell Gate Base..."
"Gate to Hell?"
Duanmuhuai sneered when he heard the name.
"This place is nothing compared to hell."
"Uh...that..."
"I'm not here to talk nonsense with you. You should understand the purpose of our coming."
"Yes, sir. From now on, this base is completely yours to take over..."
Having said this, Parker was obviously relieved. It's no wonder that being the person in charge of an alien base is indeed a very honorable thing.
But it's another thing to be the person in charge who's not making any progress.
He will change his position from the person in charge to the scapegoat.
It's good now. Although he has been removed from his position, at least he doesn't have to worry about being transferred to the position of scapegoat.
"Everything in this base is still managed by you. The purpose of my coming here is not to play house. First of all, please introduce it to me."
"Of course..."
Parker nodded, then respectfully took Duanmuhuai and began to introduce him to the entire base. According to Parker's introduction, the entire Hell's Gate base is divided into a space launch center, equipment center, apartment center, and research center.
The space launch center is used for space transportation, the equipment center is mainly used for maintenance of equipment and the production of ammunition and mining equipment, and the apartment center is the residence of base personnel.
As for the research center......
"What are these things?"
When Duanmu Huai walked into the research center and looked at the long smurfs in the life-saving cabins, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Oh, this is one of the important studies of the Life Laboratory, Na'vi clones."
Seeing that Duanmu Huai was interested in this thing, Director Parker also hurriedly introduced it.
"We are currently unable to communicate adequately with the Na'vi, so the Life Laboratory proposed this plan. They want to use the life connection system to attach their consciousness to these cloned Na'vi, and then integrate into the Na'vi population. Communicate with them and convince them..."
"Hmph!"
However, before Director Parker could finish his words, he was interrupted by Duanmu Huai with a cold snort. He looked at the Na'vi clones in front of him with disgust, and then waved his hand.
"Get rid of all these damn aliens immediately! We don't need this meaningless crap!"
"Huh?"
Director Parker was shocked when he heard Duanmuhuai's order, but before he could say anything else, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"What did you say? How dare you do this!"
Duanmu Huai turned around and saw a woman standing at the door, glaring at him and walking towards him menacingly.
"Who are you?"
"She is Dr. Grace Augustine."
Director Parker also hurriedly introduced.
"The person in charge of the entire Life Laboratory is also the person in charge of the Avatar Project..."
"For God's sake, what are you trigger-pulling idiots doing here?"
Grace came to Duanmuhuai angrily and stared at her, while the latter stared coldly at the woman in front of her.
"We are here to complete our mission. As for you and your deformed research, it is completely meaningless, so it must be dealt with."
"Abnormal research? You have no idea what you are talking about!"
"I understand very well."
Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed Grace's neck, lifted her up directly, and then stared at Grace viciously.
"You put your consciousness into this disgusting alien body, experience their feelings, and live with them - then, madam, I want to ask you, do you still think you are human?"< br>
"………………"
At this moment, faced with Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Grace... was speechless for a moment.
"I hope you can remember that the purpose of our coming here is not to investigate the ecological environment of this planet, but for the development and survival of mankind. But you seem to be addicted to playing the role of aliens and breathing with these alien creatures Sharing the same fate, perhaps you have forgotten that there are tens of billions of human beings suffering from the suffering of life on your home planet at this moment.”
Having said this, Duanmuhuai threw away Grace and then turned to look at Parker.
"From now on, the life laboratory will be completely closed, and this woman and everyone else will be thrown into the return spacecraft. They seem to have lived here for too long, so comfortable that they have forgotten what kind of life humans are currently living. I think that letting them go back to that planet that is so polluted and where people live in solitary living will allow them to reflect on this. ”
Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai glanced at the Na'vi clones.
"As for these lowly alien creatures..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai made a gesture, and the next moment, two night guards stepped forward, raised their guns, pointed at the cloned aliens and pulled the triggers.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"
With the sound of gunfire, the Na'vi people in the survival cabin were suddenly beaten to pieces and bloody, while the researchers screamed in fear and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands. Dr. Grace fell to the ground, biting her lip, looking at the scene in front of her, her face pale and livid.
Duanmu Huai turned his head, stared at her, and snorted coldly.
"Communicate? You don't even have the courage to communicate with them as a human being, but you can only use this method. It is really stupid. You gave up the pride and pride of mankind and indulged in boring research... You are no longer here. No place for you, get out!”
Having said this, Duanmuhuai looked at Director Parker again, who shuddered hurriedly under Duanmuhuai's breathtaking eyes.
"I, I know, I will immediately notify others to send Dr. Grace and her research team back to Earth..."
"Very good."
Duanmuhuai nodded.
"I hope you will explain to the company that when recruiting personnel in the future, it is best to consider their background and thoughts instead of... looking for some anti-human and anti-social traitors to come here to cause trouble."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left with the night guard.
Behind him, Dr. Grace glared angrily at Duanmuhuai's back, both eyes about to burst out with fire.
However...there was nothing she could do.
