The Mechanic

Adam's blue-gray eyes were wide open, looking so innocent, as if he had nothing to do with Eden. But after a while he said, "Biological and chemical weapons may go out of control, and any nuclear weapon will cause further devastating blows to the already precarious environment. The ecological condition of the earth at that time was so poor that it could only sustain another 60 generations of human survival, which required extreme precision." With careful planning balance and population control, it will take about 2,240 years to return to a relatively healthy and affluent level of resource occupancy per capita. Males are no longer enough to pose a threat to the peace and happiness of human society, and there is no need for excessive Clean up. But another more important reason is that the maintenance of peace and unity among different national groups requires a common, real and visible enemy."

Without Adam going on, Zhang Xun understood Adam's meaning.

Even if there are no men, when women gain power and are no longer the other, many social characteristics originally associated with "women" may gradually be diluted and transformed. Even if there is no gender difference, the gaps between countries, ethnic groups, and cultural traditions are still deep and wide, and large-scale conflicts and hatred between ethnic groups may still arise. But if there is a common enemy, an old slave master lurking in the corner ready to restore, a deep and widespread fear that losing the protection of Eden will be replaced by the so-called "barbaric sex" will force them to press on. Tight unity. Generation after generation, Eden injects the horror and danger of men into their minds, deeply rooted in their cognition, buried under the appearance of peace and happiness, and creates a sense of eternal crisis.

Once again, Zhang Xun clearly realized that Eden's understanding of human nature was too deep, to a shocking degree. All people, men and women, are pawns in its mission. It doesn't actually hate men, nor does it favor women. It's just ruthlessly true to its mission.

He couldn't help but shudder.

"Are you afraid?" Adam asked with concern, "Is what I said made you afraid?"

"...Then why did you use air bombs to attack Paradise Lost this time? And why did you give up halfway?" Zhang Xun didn't answer Adam's question, but asked rhetorically.

"The North American server was stolen, which has caused serious panic in the ordinary world. Something must be done to quell the panic. But when Eden finds that the cost has greatly exceeded the estimated range, he will choose to withdraw." Adam replied.

Although there seems to be some truth, Zhang Xun always feels that there are still some shortcomings. But after all, Adam had already separated from Eden at that time, and it was impossible to fully understand Eden's plan.

But it could also be that Adam is hiding something...

But at this time, Pan's voice sounded, "Xun, the round table has sent a summons, asking you to take Adam to the round table at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to explain the captive issue."

Zhang Xun's expression became serious again, and he sighed, "Got it."

Adam looked at him with those big blue eyes. "Are they trying to punish me?"

Zhang Xun lowered his head, "You killed that prisoner on purpose, didn't you?"

"Yes." Adam said bluntly, "If she is captured, she may face a more brutal death."

Zhang Xun understood what Adam meant, and also understood why so many guard soldiers were injured when the first female soldier blew herself up, and also understood why the soldiers surrounding the second female soldier were so crazy. It was a frightful, wild thrill at seeing the hunter fall into a trap, and they would take revenge on that captive, for the privileges that had been taken from the man.

Even if not all soldiers think so, but as long as there are enough people with such malice and plans, the final end of that prisoner will be extremely miserable. In comparison, being burned to ashes may be a more dignified and painless way to die. To his amazement, Adam would have shown compassion for a single human being.

He doesn't think this kind of pity is only for women, he suspects that this is an emotion that Adam only appeared after he had a human body.

"You sympathized with her, so you killed her?" Zhang Xun asked almost with a glimmer of hope.

Adam's expression didn't change, he even looked at him innocently.

"I don't know if it's right for you, or if we should make the decision for her. But if I were in your shoes, maybe I'd make the same decision. Because I know I couldn't protect her even if I wanted to. "Zhang Xun pulled out a wry smile, then reached out and grabbed Adam's shoulder, looking seriously into his blue eyes, "But tomorrow, you have to tell them that you made a mistake because you were controlling too many barrier launchers at the same time. You just say Your human body has a certain influence on your central system, and there is an error. I will make further explanations on this basis, and they will believe it."

"You want me to lie?" Adam asked.

For a moment, Zhang Xun felt guilty about teaching the children to do bad things, "Yes, I want you to lie to them tomorrow. Sometimes we have to lie in order to survive."

Adam blinked, seeming to be thinking about his words.

Chapter 13 Adam (8)

In the hinterland of Paradise Lost is a dark green lake called Lost Lake. A nearby giant water pump continuously pumps out the lake water and transports it to the drinking water treatment center. The distilling machine roaring day and night keeps filtering and processing the overly acidic water here, and then transports the water to the surrounding urban areas through complex pipelines.
