The whole life of mankind is inseparable from three propositions: everything comes from struggle, virtue lies in bloodshed, and leadership is primary and decisive.
"You must know that your judgments will affect the fate of everyone in this world."
Xia Junao pondered for a long time and said this.
"In fact, no matter what decision we make, it will affect their fate. As the emperor, you should know that most people cannot control their own destiny. In fact, even you and I cannot control our own destiny."
Lin Hai smiled, paused, and said slowly:
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be talking to me in an iron cage, and I wouldn't have to come to this world at all. You know, in my hometown, only animals are locked in cages. Oh no, even prisoners."
Hearing this, Xia Junao remained silent.
He just silently picked up the teacup and closed his eyes, as if he was going through very complicated thoughts. Of course, it is also possible that he was not thinking about anything. After all, coming here in person has actually made his position clear. In Lin Hai's view, Xia Junao is not doubting Lin Hai or anything, he just needs a little bit of something called "courage".
After all, the more you have, the more afraid you are of losing it.
Lin Hai no longer paid any attention to him, but dealt with the snacks on the table seriously. If he was not really embarrassed, he would have wanted to pack up the food when he left. Anyway, judging from Xia Junao's figure, he was not a big eater, and it would probably be a waste to leave the food to him. Besides, the great Daliang Empire should not be short of this little money for snacks.
"Why don't you give me a final judgment? You know, this is your tenth time here. To be honest, the previous nine times all failed, which makes me not very confident."
Xia Junao slowly opened his eyes and spoke word by word.
"That's understandable. To be honest, in my company, if a project fails three times, I'll ask them to try again in a different direction."
"Then why?"
"Because I'm only asking them to change direction, not kill the entire project. After all, we all know that we have to do this project no matter what. Just like you and I both know that the problem of the Abyss must be solved, and this is our last chance. To be honest, I don't remember how we lost the previous nine times, but that's no reason to waste or give up this last chance, right?"
"What if I lose this time too?"
"Then we lose. Although we must convey to the public the belief that we can win, you and I must be clear-headed. Once we are at the table, there is no such thing as a guaranteed win. We must be ready to win at any time, as well as ready to lose at any time."
"If you lose, there's no recovery."
"Of course, but the Abyss is already here. You think you're not at the table, but in fact, you've already been there."
Having said that, Lin Hai sat up straight, looked into Xia Junao's eyes, and said seriously and solemnly:
"Your Majesty Xia Junao, although I understand your concerns, I have to reiterate that I am extremely curious about the reason why I appeared in this world. I have been in this world for more than ten years, and I don't want to see it sink into decline. Therefore, I have a reason to come to the table.
I know you're not a coward, but I still want to tell you something I once heard: 'I must fight this battle, or I'll find someone else.'"
"You mean?"
"You know what I mean. I need to integrate the resources of this world for a final attempt. I hope this integration process will be peaceful and smooth. Although Chen Yu has caused me some trouble, the process is not complicated overall. But in order to achieve the final result, I don't mind making it a little more complicated.
Besides, do you really think that an emperor who can only maintain his sanity in a cage and who has to regularly purge his country's population is interesting? Or dignified? Or valuable? "
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
Xia Junao raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"You know, it's not that I don't want to, I just really lack the confidence."
"I understand. No one has too much confidence. If you tell me you're very confident and honest, then I'll suspect you're lying."
"So what is your final judgment on the Abyss?"
"It's simple. I think the Abyss is virtual. Of course, so are we."
Xia Junao was silent.
Although he was in his prime, his thinking was not unclear, but these questions were still beyond his ability to understand. So after a period of silence, His Majesty Xia Junao sat up straight and said to Lin Hai very seriously:
"I don't understand."
"This... Your movements and expressions made me think you were going to say something very important."
"This sentence is very important. I think I should not pretend to know something when I don't. This will effectively avoid communication problems between us."
"Okay, let me explain. The same batch of explosives, made by the same craftsman, can explode one day and produce only mosaics the next. This goes against the laws of nature. If someone sneaked into the warehouse and replaced the original with a fake, they might be able to do it, but you know that's impossible.
This illustrates a problem, that is, some people used to think that as long as the two nodes of technological development, gunpowder and steam, were cut off, the development of the world could be locked down. In fact, he did so for ten thousand years.
But now I have found a way to bypass this blockade and proved that this path is correct and can be used to bypass it, so he is anxious. In order to achieve the same goal, he has to add more blockade items.
