Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

“Just one camera?”

After listening to Shen Bei's purchasing needs, Chen Anzhi spat out a mouthful of tea.

Shen Bei smashed it, feeling a little distressed.

What I feel sorry for is the tea.

In the old days, tea was a common household item.

But in this world of fleeing famine, it is extremely precious.

After all, there is limited space on the back of the Titan, and there is not much land available for growing tea.

There are no tea trees planted in Shelter No. 36, so it should be an item exported as a resource by some shelter.

The price is not cheap.

A high-level crystal source core can only buy one or two...

It’s a bit like the craze for tea in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, when its value was comparable to gold.

Chen Anzhi was a little disappointed at this time.

Although Shen Bei is not a big spender, every time he comes, he always makes some strange requests.

It can also add some fun to the boring work.

But now all it takes is a camera.

It’s boring.

"I'll give you one."

Chen Anzhi pointed at the camera in the corner of the shed and said, "Tear down any one you like."

Shen Bei was a little confused: "Just tear it down? You don't need it?"

"Beware of gentlemen, not villains." Chen Anzhi smiled. "Electricity is expensive. In fact, the cameras up there are just for show and don't have power. Besides, there are people in the institute all the time. If they don't need it, no one would dare to come in and steal anything."

Chen Anzhi paused here and spoke again in a low voice: "I'm going to say something you don't like to hear. The upper class residents are more cultured than the lower class residents."

Shen Bei chuckled.

Have it?

Maybe, but not many.

It's obvious that Chen Anzhi has never been subjected to the harsh treatment of society and has always lived a comfortable life in the research institute.

Completely unaware of the insidiousness, cruelty, and cold-bloodedness of humans in the wilderness.

Shen Bei didn't hesitate and took one down directly.

"What do you want the camera for?" Chen Anzhi asked curiously.

Shen Bei half-jokingly said, "I plan to record the beautiful moments and show them to the bachelor."

Chen Anzhi's eyes widened, surprised at Shen Bei's train of thought: "It's a good way to make money."

You really took it seriously... Shen Bei was too tired to complain.

Shen Bei installed the camera and changed the topic to the mining arm armor: "Why does this equipment look like a prosthetic limb?"

Chen Anzhi didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "It was built according to the concept of prosthetic limbs."

"Then why not connect directly to the flesh and blood, but wear it instead?"

Chen Anzhi looked at Shen Bei strangely: "You mean to reform according to the way of the Almighty Church?"

coming.

Let’s officially get into the topic!

Shen Bei shook his head pretentiously: "What is the Almighty Church?"

"A bunch of lunatics tinkering with prosthetic implants. Even the heart can be replaced. What flows through the body is no longer blood, but lubricant. And the brain is nourished by nutrient solution."

Chen Anzhi paused and continued, "Without a sense of smell, I can't experience the feeling of pooping. Ha, isn't this a sad thing?"

Shen Bei slowly widened his eyes: "Can I say that this is a kind of mechanical ascension?"

"Mechanical ascension...an ancient term." Chen Anzhi touched his chin and continued, "Your understanding is sentimental. The truth is, prosthetic limb implantation is an implant, not a complete replacement of the body."

"Think about it: if the brain can be replaced by a computer and prosthetic limbs can be implanted, the four words 'robotics' don't hold water in the truest sense of the word. That's a robot."

"So, other organs can be replaced, but how long can the human brain last? It's only as long as our lifespan."

Chen Anzhi speaks in a roundabout way.

It can clearly get to the core of the problem.

But he went around in circles, as if he was afraid that Shen Bei wouldn't understand.

Shen Bei understood that the Almighty Church could transform the human body while preserving the human brain.

"Then why haven't I seen this kind of modified human?" Shen Bei asked knowingly.

Chen Anzhi shrugged. "Their shelter has very few material needs. All members are modified humans, whom they call "gifts." Moreover, they rarely go out and are only interested in specific things. Of course, there are also shelters that hire them to do missions."

"You Wuchang thinks they are a bunch of lunatics and doesn't deal with them. Humans only interact with humans, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"And they're not human, they're just a pile of scrap metal. It's not surprising since you haven't seen them before."

Shen Bei said "oh".

The two then continued to talk about the Church of Almighty God.

Some information was summarized in Shen Bei's mind.

Overall, the idea of ​​transforming people by the Omnipotent Church has a good starting point.

It’s about empowering ordinary people.

But the risks associated with limb modification are too great.

The probability of death is over 70 percent.

Only those who are crazy or desperate are willing to take the risk of undergoing transformation.

Moreover, during the transformation process, a brain-computer module interface must be reserved.

I don't know what it's for, but it's scary just thinking about it.

After Shen Bei heard the news, he suddenly thought of Tongyi Chip...

Shen Bei had a few more questions and asked them one after another.

For example, what the Church of All Might is interested in and where their technology comes from.

In fact, this is the same problem.

You know, the technology of the Omnipotence Church is obviously several generations ahead of other shelters.

This kind of cliff-like leap is very inconsistent with the technological development of the current era.

But Chen Anzhi was very sensitive about this.

After just mentioning the words "the power of deep space", he was unwilling to talk more.

Now Shen Bei can confirm that the so-called "power of deep space" and "world-destroying starship"

Definitely referring to the same goal.

It can be inferred that this world was originally a world-destroying starship.

Later, for unknown reasons, it was blown up and disappeared.

Part of the technology on the World-Destroying Starship was taken over by the Almighty Church.

Other technologies may be divided up among other shelters, and technology may have advanced.

And then developed into its current state.

However, due to the emergence of superpowers, supernatural forces have overwhelmed technology and become the mainstream force.

According to normal development, technology and metaphysics are bound to be in opposition. Therefore, a world of refugees, like the end of the world, presents a distorted appearance.

There is technology, and there are also superpowers.

But no matter what kind of power it is, it still cannot change the fact that the evil species cannot be killed.

Those who need to flee famine must flee famine.

Everything that happened a hundred years ago has gradually been forgotten by mankind.

Only a few people still pass on some information.

And this information gradually deviates from the facts.

There is a sense of being a false rumor and being infinitely processed.

For example, Chen Anzhi also mentioned that he heard a ballad:

"...they ascended a long stairway, a stairway that took more than ninety sunrises to reach the sky, with six hundred and ninety thousand steps. When they reached the moon, it was full, and looking upwards, they saw only the vast earth, completely submerged in the silver light..."

The meaning is obscure and difficult to understand.

According to Chen Anzhi's explanation, if you look up, you can see the earth, so there must be heaven in the deep space.

This is complete nonsense.

Shen Bei was not sure whether there was heaven, but hell was right under his feet.

After a conversation, Shen Bei had a new understanding of Almighty Church.

The topic then shifted to the mining gauntlets.

"Let's talk business." Shen Bei pointed at the arm armor: "How much is this?"

"The market price we set is ten intermediate crystal source cores."

“This is not people-friendly.”

Shen Bei was surprised at the expensiveness of the equipment.

Of course, it’s not expensive for Shen Bei.

But this price is quite uneconomical for miners.

Working as a miner for a day can earn you about 20 crystal source cores.

Although this thing can greatly increase work efficiency.

But what’s the point if miners can’t afford it?

"I know the price is high, but any price depends on the time."

Chen Anzhi's words woke Shen Bei up.

Shen Bei suddenly realized: "That is to say, this mining gauntlet has not yet been mass-produced. Once it is mass-produced, the price will come down."

"That's right." Chen Anzhi looked at Shen Bei with admiration: "For this one sample alone, the cost is naturally expensive. The price will come down when the quantity is large. That's why I said that you asked the price at the wrong time."

"Why, you want to become a miner instead?"

Chen Anzhi brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Bei.

"I'm just interested in weird things."

Shen Bei tasted it and found the tea-frying skills were a bit poor, but the taste was still okay.

Chen Anzhi's eyes were filled with ambiguous expressions: "Your words don't reflect your heart. Shouldn't you be interested in turbo engines?"

"Who wants to eat with me?"

Chen Anzhi laughed and said, "If I weren't so busy, I wouldn't mind you chatting with me for a whole day."

"Give me a quote for the turbo engine. I'm interested too." Shen Bei said bluntly.

"Three high-level crystal source cores."

Shen Bei wiped his nose.

Suspecting that the world is against you.

Rock said yesterday that he would be able to obtain three high-level crystal source cores after completing the task.

In a blink of an eye, the quotation here just happened to match.

Are you all in collusion?

Shen Bei threw down ten intermediate crystal source cores, grabbed the arm armor, turned around and left: "I want it."

"Where's the turbo engine?"

Shen Bei waved his hand without even turning back: "I don't have any money at the moment."

"Then I won't wait for you. Hurry up and make money. If others want it, I will buy it directly."

Shen Bei paused and turned back in surprise: "Anyone else wants it? No one has any use for it, right?"

"Ask the Almighty Church if they want it." Chen Anzhi rolled his eyes.

The corner of Shen Bei's mouth twitched: "Be sure to keep this toy for me."

Chen Anzhi grinned, "No problem."
