Byron's Blade

The core of the Zeus should be between the living area on the third floor and the warehouse area on the second floor. There is no elevator to reach it directly. You need to climb ladders and walk through steel beams.No one was familiar with the road from the infirmary to the core area, and Mu Li led the way at the forefront, and he also groped along by feeling.

Time passed by every minute and every second. According to this progress, when they rushed to the core area, it is very likely that Rudolph and Zeus have almost merged.

According to the instructions of the distribution structure diagram hanging on the wall inside the Zeus, they opened the maintenance passage from the third-floor machine room, and took another elevator to the middle section. steel frame.The steel beam they were stepping on was suspended at a distance of about twenty meters, and there were two huge fans side by side, which were running at high speed.

Lan Ni is a little afraid of heights, although it is not serious, but standing on this steel beam, she suffered from vertigo.With a pale face, she didn't say anything, just gritted her teeth and followed the team closely.Fortunately, there were handrails on both sides of the steel beam they were walking on, which was like crossing a bridge, which gave her a little peace of mind.Just thinking of the cable bridge in the cave, she has left a shadow on things like bridges, and really doesn't know if this thing is solid or not.

Walking along the steel beam for about thirty meters, he saw a ladder going down, so Mu Li took the lead to climb down.Everyone followed closely behind. Without being in such a space, it is really difficult to realize how huge the interior of the Zeus is.Zeus is a mech with an unstable shape. When Mu Li, Lin Zhao, and Robin encountered Zeus in the wild for the first time, what they saw was its fast forward state on the ground. At that time, its shape was like a mecha. Shuttle, the highest height is only about ten meters.Afterwards, they saw the flight form of the Zeus, which was even flatter, but the wings spread out beyond the width of an ordinary civil aviation airliner. It looked like a boomerang flying in the air, which was similar to the stealth fighters of the last century. wonderful.

And Zeus's full combat form has completely transformed into a huge humanoid mech, with extremely smooth lines and black and purple, which looks very domineering.It also feels very agile and fast in action, without any hesitation, as if it were a real human athlete and not a machine.When it is in the form of a humanoid mech, it can reach a height of about 30 meters, which is almost as high as a ten-story building. This is the highest height that Zeus can reach.And its internal expansion space is five to six times the external volume.In other words, the overall height inside the Zeus can actually reach 150-180 meters.Mu Li and the others are now between the second and third floors. After calculation, there should be a height of about [-] meters above their feet.

The more you understand the Zeus, the more you have to sigh. This is really a miracle created by human beings. It is so powerful. With such a mech, why can't it counterattack the lost continents and drive the Zerg and predators out of the earth? Recapture the former homeland of mankind?But the purpose of building such a powerful machine is to use it to kill each other, Mu Li is really depressed and indignant.

After descending the ladder for a short distance, everyone came to a steel beam again and continued to move forward along the steel beam.Before long, a steel wall appeared in front of him. There was a door on the wall at the end of the passage. There was a combination lock at the door, which was currently locked.Mu Li and others came to the door, and first tried to open the door with the bracelet ID that was taken from Sona's body.Unfortunately, the permission has been revoked.Mu Li didn't think too much, and directly cooperated with Zoe and Qiu Zheng to break in by violent means.As their axes struck the door, sirens blared and red lights flashed inside the Zeus.But the group has no sense of urgency, because the only enemy is waiting for them inside the core.

"We're fine, don't be nervous." Robin used the walkie-talkie to inform the group of people staying in the infirmary that they were safe, lest they worry.

The door was quickly smashed open by three strong men, and everyone walked through the door.I'm afraid the Zeus was built hastily, and many parts inside are actually unreasonable.Especially the material of the door, even for such a very confidential place, is made of copper material that is easy to process. If you smash the hinges and hinges, or directly destroy the door frame, the door can be removed very quickly. sturdy.

The inside of this wall is the mechanical bearing area. The two sides of the passage are full of gears and bearings that are bigger than people, making a "rumbling" noise. Only in this kind of place can you know that they are indeed in a steel machine made by manpower. Among them, not in some future high-tech life body.At this moment, looking at the mechanical bearings operating so efficiently, everyone knew that the Zeus had restarted without them noticing.At this time, the Zeus was launched with only one purpose, which was to fly back to the Federation, and to fly back to the territory controlled by the Andres family in the city of Athena.If Mu Li and the others still fail to capture the Zeus before they reach the city of Athena, they will become Rudolph's prisoner at that time, and they will never stand up again.

This wall seems to be a watershed, and stepping inside the wall means that you have come near the heart and brain of Zeus.The complexity of the bearings inside is jaw-dropping.Moreover, the number of gears is almost infinite, and there is no end in sight. Being in it, it is like coming to a mechanical world. The whole body is surrounded by the sea of ​​gears, as if I have become a tiny screw.

"If it weren't for the disagreement of ideas, Rudolph would really be the object of my admiration. Sometimes when I think about it carefully, the things he does, if the purpose is correct, can really benefit all people." Robin sighed.

"In his mind, what he did was correct. It's just that his correctness conflicted with ours. Justice is just what the two sides of the contradiction claim to be, and evil is not something that can be easily crowned by others. Above all, the struggle between human beings is nothing more than a struggle of values. It can only be said that whose values ​​are more applicable to the general public, can be more accepted by the public, and can be labeled as "justice". Kou, if we don't win this time, we can only become one of the thousands of evil forces that Rudolph said." Mu Xin said lightly.

Everyone only felt that what Mu Xin said was very reasonable, and it was indeed true after all.Rudolph felt that the progress of mankind needs to be controlled by a minority. The general public is ignorant, lacks vision and wisdom, and does not need freedom of thought. It only needs the elites to instill correct ideas in them, just like the gears around them. It is enough to make a small contribution to the operation of the entire federation.The elite minority has created a comfortable living environment for the mediocre majority. The mediocre majority should be content and grateful, and should not push forward and ask too much.The stability of a regime's rule depends on whether her people are obedient.The most fundamental thing is to control the mind.

This set of theoretical ideas was the starting point for his initial establishment of a series of federal political systems, and it also created the current status of the federation.The people are controlled by the Nine Gods system, without any freedom, and even brainwashed by the Nine Gods sect. They are willing to become such screws and cogs, and never think about whether the mountain that is pressing on their heads should be moved.

Perhaps, his theory cannot be denied as wrong in some respects. A society must be divided into classes, and the opposition between the elite minority and the mediocre majority will inevitably exist.It is also very natural for a small number of elites to occupy the upper echelons and rule over the majority of mediocrities.However, in the view of Mu Xin, General Friesman and others, the gap between these two classes should be continuously narrowed with the development of society, so that they become infinitely closer, instead of getting bigger and bigger, causing the whole society to be ruled out. Differentiated, as if there were two completely different races.Only when the majority of the mediocre keep active in their thinking, actively struggle, and strive to approach the few elites, will the whole society have an upward momentum, and it will be a healthy and positive society.Human beings can thrive and grow stronger.

For a hundred years, human beings have only been huddled in the limited federal territory, but they can't take the step to regain their homeland. Isn't it because of this reason?Lacking competitiveness and enthusiasm, most mediocre people are ignorant, know nothing, and are confined to their own small world; a few elites are content with the status quo, indulge in pleasure, do not think about making progress, and have no sense of crisis at all.How can such a society be said to be developing positively?

Mu Xin and Chuck Friesman clearly realized that human beings cannot stand still, because the Zerg and predators are constantly evolving and growing, and they are stalking tigers. Standing still is tantamount to regressing. Even decades later, human beings may no longer be able to keep this pure homeland.

In the past few decades, some people of insight have also recognized the disadvantages of this society.However, due to various reasons, the voice of criticism did not reach the heavens and the people, and the thought of reform was suppressed in the cradle.Most people of insight were arrested or even executed because of the trial of the Nine Gods System, which kicked off the prelude to the White Terror.It is precisely because of the spread of white terror that groups of people who were persecuted for this appeared, and hatred gradually began to accumulate within society.General Friesman is one of the haters. His initial motive for launching the rebellion was personal hatred, and then gradually changed to a larger aspect.As for Rudolph's deeper secrets that are completely unknown, only a very few of them know.These sensational secrets put a layer of villain on Rudolph.

Who is not fighting for himself, who is not selfish?That's nothing to criticize.But once your selfishness endangers the interests of the majority of people, or even uses the freedom of thought and spiritual soul of the majority of people to seek your own immortality, then you are a big evil, which cannot be tolerated by everyone in the society, and must be eliminated. quick!

Now Muxin Muli and others are fighting for the interests of the majority of people. Although few people know how many things they have done, how many things they have sacrificed that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and how many times they are on the verge of death, they are still fighting for the benefit of the majority. Desperately do it.They don't ask others to know about this, because doing these things is closely related to their own interests. They fight for themselves first, and then for others.

Mu Li never thought of herself as a hero, she was a pawn forced to go to Liangshan and had no choice.To this day, she has not supported all of this from the bottom of her heart. She still hates Friesman, and she still cannot completely let go of what her biological mother did back then.She never took the initiative to do all this from the bottom of her heart, she was just pushed forward and had to move forward.She is really not a big picture person, her ambition in life is very simple and ordinary, but to live a happy life with her lover.This is caused by the environment in which she grew up.

But she knows that no matter what, her mother is an absolute hero!A hero many times greater than Friesman.The starting point for her to do all this is her own thoughts and wishes.She is a 100% revolutionary, a person who can sacrifice everything for the overall situation of the world and the livelihood of thousands of people, and a person who has the courage to take the first step.Although she deeply regrets what she did back then, and desperately tries to fix it, she continues to bravely move forward on the path she has chosen.

People are complex. In the scale of inner morality, some people's selfishness will occupy a greater proportion, and some people's selflessness will occupy a greater proportion.No one is qualified to criticize anyone, this is just a difference in values.Mu Li felt that she was a selfish person, and her mother was a relatively selfless person, so she didn't want to blame her mother.

Just like the magnificent history of old China more than 300 years ago stored in her mind, the era when thousands of people with lofty ideals rose up, without them, there would be no powerful new China.But who knows, how much did these people with lofty ideals sacrifice?The loved ones and even their own lives were all sacrificed, and all the blood shed was exchanged for the comfortable life of those selfish people in the future.What qualifications do selfish people have to accuse these selfless people?It is said that sacrificing relatives and hurting loved ones are other people's business, only the parties are qualified to judge, so what to do with outsiders?

The more she experienced all this, the more Mu Li could understand her mother. Although their ambitions were not the same, she admired her mother from the bottom of her heart.Mu Li doesn't blame her mother now, she believes that her mother doesn't blame her mother either, she just hopes that after all this is over, her mother can return to a harmonious life and the family can be reunited.

Passing through the long path surrounded by huge mechanical parts, everyone finally saw the end.There used to be a huge iron gate blocking the way, but it is now wide open, as if to welcome everyone.It can be seen from afar, through the door, a rich red light is projected.Everyone's hearts have fallen to the bottom, and it seems that the worst has already happened.Rudolph may have been completely integrated with the Zeus, and he is now welcoming the arrival of everyone confidently.

"Let's go, what needs to be faced, will eventually be faced." After Mu Xin said this, she passed by Mu Li's side and walked forward first.Mu Li hurried forward, held her arm, and guided her steps.Everyone followed behind them and stepped into the red light.

The author has something to say: Two-thirds of the chapter is used to briefly explain the central idea of ​​the whole novel, as well as Mu Li's cognitive changes to what Mu Xin did back then.Of course, Mu Li's cognitive changes are due to her personality and her own views on good and evil. In any case, she is a kind person. She is willing to see the good in others and will not pull He clings to the faults of others.She is willing to let go of others, but also let go of herself.Among them, it is inevitable to reveal the author's own, that is, Xiaoshu's private views on these matters.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences, I know that many people can't accept what Mu Xin did back then, it doesn't matter, because you are not Mu Li, nor me, you are just yourself, you only represent yourself.Let us follow the steps of the protagonist of the novel and the author who created the protagonist, and continue to read this story.

In fact, starting from "The Ugly Duckling Don't Cry", each of my "masterpieces" began to have a theme.Leigh Byron's theme is very clear, it is undoubtedly "rebellion", this is a story of ideological liberation.
