Pastor of Tomorrow's Ark

"Next, is something going to happen? For example, the demon that was released, the Pandora's box that was opened? The beginning of a nightmare?"

"Hehe..." Dr. Kelsey smiled, shook his head and said, "Maybe you should watch less bad Colombian movies, which are useless except for special effects... However, what you said is not completely wrong, but there is no such thing as you It's such an exaggeration..."

Dr. Kelsey continued:

"Several of my outstanding students - you should have heard the names of some of them, such as Lyudmila's father, Ilya, and Alex and Misha's father, Sergey."

"Well... I know, you mentioned them before." Bai Ye nodded.

"Yes, several of my excellent students have discovered the secrets of this group of instruments by themselves. They first realized that the energy they use is just a side effect of the operation of the instruments, the sleep mode..."

"The energy was originally used to make the equipment work properly. In addition, they understood one thing, that is, the energy continuously supplied to Chernobog is only a part of the energy that the energy supply device of this group of equipment can provide. Small portion. Tiny portion."

Bai Ye raised his head in surprise:

"Just a very small part of the energy dissipated from the dormant mode is enough to support the entire huge mobile city?"

"That's right, it's like this... For example, the core city of Chernobog we arrived before, just the energy released by a sarcophagus is enough to support it to move at high speed in the wilderness. After that, I was still able to rush towards the dragon gate at full speed..."

Bai Ye couldn't help clicking her tongue and said:

"It's really scary..."

"Yes, is it scary? It's scary..." Doctor Kelsey also said with emotion, "First of all, they feel happy. Perhaps, Chernobog's reliance on external source stone mining will be greatly reduced. If They can replicate similar equipment, Ursus will no longer be trapped by energy, and the mining and refining process of origin stones will be greatly streamlined."

"After that, they panicked. If such a huge energy was used to forge weapons or launch aggression, Ursus would be thrown back into flames."

The Ursas Empire managed to get out of the flames of war set off by the former emperor, and it has not even completely escaped from the quagmire of war.

Bai Ye nodded, remembering what Dr. Kelsey said before, he asked:

"So in the end you decided to seal the entire sarcophagus?"

"Well, these scientists are kind children. They want to prevent some disasters from happening. Unfortunately, this matter has been learned by the Fourth Army. When the Fourth Army intervened in this matter, the scientists have already realized to the seriousness of the matter.”

"The secret police have grasped the truth. When my students were just preparing to seal the equipment, the secret police had already fully figured out the weaknesses of the scientists."

The secret police of the Ursus Empire is quite a terrifying existence. Just hearing their names will make people shudder.

Dr. Kelsey continued:

"Ilya, one of the leading scientists, his sense of justice was fueled by his stubbornness. The secret police realized that if they imprisoned Ilya's relatives, Ilya's hatred would only intensify, so they chose another One—Sergey, the oldest of my students."

"Misha and Alex's father... Poor guy." Bai Ye sighed.

"That's right... Indecisive Sergey, the secret police almost threatened him a little, and Sergey's determination disappeared in an instant.

Sergey was haunted by the fear of losing his loved ones and the respect for his colleagues' career. In the end, he chose a method that seemed to him almost a compromise—he told Marquis Boris the goals and data of the experimental project. "

Bai Ye shook his head, sometimes, hesitation will lead to defeat, this kind of choice, I am afraid it will be cold...

However, Bai Ye knew very well that if he was in Sergey's situation, he would have no better choice.

If this hopeless situation were replaced by the white night before crossing, it would definitely collapse.

So most of the tragedies in this world happen because they are not strong enough.

Weakness is an original sin, no secrets can be kept, nothing can be guarded, only forced to make choices.

Bai Ye clenched his fist, he knew that his expansion also came from complacency, he seemed a little complacent with his current strength.

If the tragedy happened suddenly, but Bai Ye's strength was not enough to reverse the situation, he would definitely regret why he didn't work harder at the beginning.

Dr. Kelsey didn't know what was going on in Bai Ye's mind, she continued:

"In fact, he shouldn't trust anyone. Our life-saving straw is often the weapon with which we are killed. The Marquis did not protect the scientists. He only protected Sergey, and then allowed the army to carry out a raid, a raid It turned into a massacre.

The Marquis did not have the strength to protect the scientists, he was overwhelmed by the top generals of the army.Even though the strength of the army and the old nobles had declined extremely after the Great Rebellion, Marquis Boris was at best an upstart who bought a title from a ruined noble. "

Sure enough, what Dr. Kelsey said was as expected by Bai Ye.

"So, your student..."

Bai Ye pursed his lips.

"Well, what you said is not wrong. What happened next is what I said. Sergey kept his children, but he watched his colleagues die one by one in despair. In the sarcophagus of the core city."

"Doctor Kelsey..." Bai Ye murmured.

"Well, I have nothing to do, even I can't fight an entire army alone, so there's nothing I can do..."

The most painful thing was Dr. Kelsey. She expected this to happen, but she couldn't do anything at all.

"All I can do is to save Ilya's daughter, and I send her to Syracuse."

"Okay, don't comfort me. Recalling the past doesn't need your comfort. I'm used to losing..."

Dr. Kelsey then continued:

"Bodies and blood were cleaned up, and Sergey's new institute was established, built upon his broken mind.

Obviously, Sergey never provided any useful research results after that, and Ursus's research on this instrument was in trouble after losing the excellent but too honest scientists. "

Bai Ye said:

"So, in a sense, Ke scientists have succeeded."

"Yes, they all succeeded... The research on the sarcophagus has not made any progress, and problems that cannot be solved will always be forgotten. After the secret police and the garrison withdrew, the Marquis and Sergey sealed the sarcophagus."

"The instrument continued to operate, and the energy flowed from the sarcophagus to the core city of Chernobog, and even the entire city. The Marquis expressed his gratitude for Sergey's contribution and nominated him as the secretary of the city council."

Dr. Kelsey's words were full of sarcasm. Even if he became a secretary, Sergey would not be able to keep his son.

Alex was judged to be infected and exiled.

In the mine, he was really infected with ore disease.

Afterwards, he became a member of the integration movement, and because of his talent for Originium skills, he also became one of the cadres of the integration movement—Bonebreaker.

After finishing speaking, Dr. Kelsey looked at Bai Ye and continued:

"Bai Ye, are you still interested in hearing what happened next?"

"Please say."

Bai Ye nodded. What Dr. Kelsey said was secret news that few people knew. After all, she stood at a different height from those ordinary Ursus operators.

"As I said before, the energy system of the sarcophagus is completely different from the modern Originium industrial system. Therefore, the Marquis, who is no longer so dependent on Originium, finally has the confidence to challenge the army. Large and small factories are established outside his core city. Formed. The Fourth Army no longer had control over his lifeline and could only watch Chernobog leave their sphere of influence."

"So that's why Chernobog is the most special mobile city in the Ursus Empire..." Bai Ye suddenly realized.

"That's right, it's very special. Did you know that during the many years of operation in Chernobog, Marquis Boris once offended one of the staff officers of the Third Army because of the bargaining issue of raw materials, and the first beneficiary of the Gaozhan refinery The Grand Duke of Baikal."

Bai Ye is very familiar with the refinery.In fact, this name may be familiar to every player who has played the Ark of Tomorrow game.

AP-5, the checkpoint specially used to swipe the "purchasing certificate", is called refining factory security, which is the so-called "red ticket book".

If you look carefully at the level name of "Smash Defense", you can see that from AP-1's source stone mining security, to source stone transportation security, refining equipment security, refining equipment security, and finally refining factory security, the entire red The ticket book is a complete origin stone processing process.

Such a cumbersome process was replaced by a simple and mysterious "sarcophagus" in Chernobog. It is no wonder that Marquis Boris has the confidence to challenge the military.

Bai Ye blinked and asked curiously:

"The grand duke, did he succeed in the end?"

"Of course not, Grand Duke Baikal's secret attack failed to shake Chernobog, which is already one of the most important cities in Ursus.

Furthermore, the Marquis used Chernobog to refuse the army's entry and stationing, and the armies could only respond to the emperor's order to protect it around Chernobog, or to monitor it.Also, it is independent of the army and old noble rules. "

"Unexpectedly, he was the winner in the end..." Bai Ye shook his head.

"Hehe, then, look at the ruins of Chernobog today, Bai Ye, think about it again, in fact, there is no winner in this matter..." Doctor Kelsey sneered.

The white night was silent, and finally, the bustling Chernobog was turned into ruins under natural disasters, and countless lives died in this city.

There is no winner, this is just a tragedy, a tragedy and conspiracy enough to make people shudder.

"Actually, I personally think that Chernobog is doomed when the scientists, my students... when they die from Ursus' greed."

"But I can never forgive myself for that. Just because of the kindness and drive of the people around me, I have imagined that if it can be used by others, if it can provide a different path..."

"I used to never make such a decision. It will only kill more people. No matter how good its intentions are, in an evil world, our goodwill will be distorted. That is to say, White Night, I sent them to the slaughterhouse. I watched them die."

"It's all because I assumed an immature path, a dream that cannot be realized in today's land."

Bai Ye looked at the woman in front of him, and he saw her delicate face showing a sad and honest look, and then he suddenly realized that Dr. Kelsey is not invincible, nor is he ruthless.

She wraps herself in a delicate and powerful shell, but under this hardness, she also has soft emotions.

Doctor Kelsey... It turns out that you are not a monster, you are also a human being...

Because we are human, we have emotions, and because we are human, we suffer...

Bai Ye realized.

"Actually, sometimes I really envy you, not only because of your strength, but also because of your ability to reverse the past and make up for the tragedy." Doctor Kelsey pointed to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye stretched out her forehead and said softly:

"resurrection……"

"That's right, once you have this ability, you have the possibility to start over... It's really a cheating ability." Dr. Kelsey murmured looking at Bai Ye's hand.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye slowly asked:

"Dr. Kelsey, I have always believed in the possibility of human beings. I have always believed that there will be outstanding people among human beings who choose the right path. Dr. Kelsey, I have always believed that the pure golden spirit will be rewarded. Inheritance... If one day, this world has a soil that can carry goodwill, doctor, will you still make the previous choice?"

"Do you still believe in the kindness of human beings?"

Bai Ye threw the question to Dr. Kelsey.

Dr. Kelsey didn't answer Bai Ye's question immediately, she stared at Bai Ye for a while, then nodded slowly:

"Bai Ye, you underestimate me too much. If I were completely disappointed in human nature, I wouldn't be here now."

"I always believe that the speaker's dream will come true one day in the future. Maybe this day is really far away, maybe this day will never come, but I still believe..."

"In Amiya, in Rhodes Island's operators, in our enemies, in...Bai Ye, you, I have seen too many brilliant qualities. This is also the reason why I continue to believe."

"So, I finally let the core city of Chernobog be recovered by the Ursus Empire, and let the sarcophagus return to the hands of the Ursus Empire."

"If they can actually restart it, I am now willing to believe that it will only be restarted by the hands of good people.

I would like to believe that the future will be in the hands of those who truly desire to change this land. "

"If they can really restart it, I am now willing to believe that it will only be restarted by the hands of kind people. I am willing to believe that those who really desire to change this land will have the future in their hands."

Bai Ye smiled. He looked at Dr. Kelsey with a smile on his face:
