Chapter 145 Learning
Roger told Gu Lie many stories about the mainland, including the legends before the "Doomsday War" and real anecdotes after that. From this, Gu Lie learned how people after the "Doomsday War" struggled to survive in a harsh environment, constantly fighting and evolving. It seems that the steps are constantly moving forward, but in fact they are standing still.
The cities of the mainland are independent. Without a unified country, it is impossible to guarantee the normal development of education and science. There are very few people like Roger who can rest assuredly study science and technology and concentrate on innovation and breakthroughs in machinery, and more people are still struggling to survive.
Hundreds of years have passed, in addition to the "human" inheritance and the improvement of the national system, a country that only belongs to "humans" has been established in the central continent, and humanoid and mutants have not yet belonged to their own race.
In addition, they were originally "humans", but they were divided into races after the "Doomsday War". In their hearts, only "humans" are real people. To be precise, they are not pure "people".
If you want to evolve or change into a real "human", humans and mutants have tried countless ways, otherwise there will be no rumors that they can evolve into human beings by having sex with human beings.
Obviously, these rumors are unreliable. Coupled with the contradictions arising from the differentiation of human races, the psychology of humanoids and mutants have created very complex emotions on human beings, with envy on the one hand and hatred.
This sentiment has continued to this day, not only has not weakened, but has even become more and more intense.
In Gu Lie's view, such a state may not be bad. Human beings inherit "orthodoxy", but there are also many opportunities for innovation. Unlike humans and mutants, they have a lot of opportunities to seize. If they do not succeed, it will be greater than the "achievements" of human beings.
Gu Lie and Roger sat on the ground and talked happily, but the dialogue between the two had nothing to do with mechanical knowledge. They talked more about the customs of the mainland and some very special organizations, including Star Killing, a professional killer organization.
A few hours of conversation almost made the two friends forgetful friends. When talking about Fallo City, Roger did not have any reservations. He knew everything and said everything, and he had no defense against Gu Lie.
Gu Lie sighed in his heart that only a person like him who specializes in technology would be so scheming. If it were another person, it would never be possible to tell him the situation of Faro City so clearly.
From this point of view, Roger is still very reliable.
The topic of the two people is all over the world. They can talk about whatever they think of. Roger's decades of experience is almost all about it. Gu Lie listens strangely, and Roger talks happily.
In fact, everyone has their own story and needs others to listen to. Once the right listener is found, the speaker will talk endlessly like "flood discharge". Roger is now in this state.
Maybe someone else will not have the patience to listen to Roger's story, but Gu Lie is different. He knows very little about the mainland. It is a great thing to have such an elderly person to tell him. All kinds of legends and real anecdotes are very interesting. In such an era, only by trying to supplement the knowledge you lack is to prepare for the longer term.
"Oh, look what I'm talking about!" Roger patted his head and said with regret, "You didn't remind me to say something useless, which has nothing to do with mechanical knowledge."
Gu Lie smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I like to listen to these things. It's much more interesting than mechanical knowledge."
Roger stared and said, "How can that work? Today's focus is on machinery, not these stories! Forget it, this responsibility is mine, it has nothing to do with you. Let's have a theme. I'll show you around. This is where I work.
Gu Lie asked curiously, "Don't you work underground?" He refers to the secret room where the positioning system is stored.
Roger shook his head and said, "It's too stuffy down there. Besides, I don't need to manage the positioning system, just maintain it regularly!" With that, he sighed, "The people before the 'Doomsday War' were so smart that we couldn't catch up with it at all. The positioning system had a history of at least hundreds of years. When it was taken out of the ancient ruins, there was no sign of aging. The craftsmanship and design was exquisite, which can already be regarded as mechanical design. It's the peak work in the field.
"In my opinion, it's very ordinary..." Gu Lie scratched his head a little. He didn't know how Roger came to the conclusion of "peak", but he agreed with one thing. Industrial design is indeed quite good, otherwise a pile of metal materials that have been idle for hundreds of years will not be used for a long time.
"If you don't understand, you won't understand, but this knowledge can't be explained to you in a while." Roger took him around the room.
"That's right, you should come here often in the future. I will start with the basic knowledge of machinery. With your comprehension ability, you should soon reach the level of apprenticeship, so that you can cooperate with me to do some small things." Roger ordered rudely.
Gu Lie smiled bitterly and said, "I still have a gang to manage. It's impossible to come here often to learn."
Roger hummed, "Don't play tricks on me. I don't know what a boss like you does every day? Everything is left to my subordinates, and the time is spent on drinking and women. It's better to come and learn knowledge. Even if the gang is destroyed in the future, as long as you can escape, at least you won't starve to death in another place. He is very pertinent.
Gu Lie stared dryly but didn't know what to refute. Roger's words really made sense. After thinking about it, he said, "Ok, I'll try my best!"
"Today I will teach you how to identify ore and be familiar with the cutting machine. As for the use of high-pressure alloy furnaces, you need to have a certain foundation, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Roger took Gu Lie to the innermost part of the room, where there were many ores of different colors and shades of ores, which were also different in shape.
"These are ores. This is a comparison. You should study hard and be able to identify ten kinds of ores today." Roger called him a book, then turned around and didn't look at him. He picked up a pair of head-mounted glasses from the side and put them on, and then lay on the table, holding tweezers in his hand, carefully stitching something under the light.
In the face of the messy ore, Gu Lie smiled bitterly, but Roger's words gave him some vigilance. It's true that it's true to learn more knowledge, and it may be useful in the future.
He shook his head gently. He opened the book. The image on the light curtain was Roger. He was introducing the types and usage of ores. Gu Lie looked at it quietly for an hour.
