Chapter 15, Bloody Valentine's Day (Part 2)(1/2)
"Uh, am I insulting your two worlds here?" After watching Xiu's eyes as if he was about to eat people for a long time, Aslan twisted his body uncomfortable.
"Well, you're deeply in the way!" Xiu's hoarse voice couldn't help but make Aslan's body tremble. It seemed that Xiu's deep resentment had indeed been passed on to Aslan.
Why are you doing well at home or going out to date a girl on Valentine's Day? Why are you going to come here together if you don't feel tired?
"Uh, since that's the case, I'd better say goodbye first!" As if I felt that I would be in danger of being harmonious if I continued to stay. Aslan quickly got up and wanted to leave, but Lux grabbed his sleeves faster.
"It's okay, Aslan, ignore him!" Lux gave Xiu a angrily glance, "You don't know his temper."
"Uh, but..." Before Aslan could say anything, Xiu also grabbed his other sleeve at the same time.
"Don't, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xiu said with a smile.
[What should I do if you leave? Could you let me stay and face this ghost girl Lux alone?]
So, Aslan had no choice but to sit down again and slowly enjoy the feeling called torment.
"By the way, it's Valentine's Day. Didn't Aunt Renoa come back to accompany her uncle?" Seeing Aslan sit down, a smile appeared on Lux's face.
"No, my mother said that it was difficult to get out of research there and could not get back. And because the war between Plant and Earth officially started, my father was very busy and had no time." Aslan sighed helplessly.
"Yes, my father rarely has time to go home recently... Why do we always hurt each other?" A trace of sadness appeared on Lux's face.
"Because each other's existence violates each other's interests, we will instinctively exclude each other. This is human nature and instinct..." Even if we know the reason, we can't help but feel powerless. Didn't the wars in history be because of these reasons? They are not driven by conflicts of interests and human nature? At the beginning of human beings, nature is evil.
"Can't we really understand each other and understand each other?" Hearing Xiu's words, Lux couldn't help but look at Xiu.
"Can't understand? No, the question is not whether we can, but whether we are willing or not!" Xiu sneered, "To put it bluntly, our adjusters are equivalent to becoming the second generation ancestor of the chairman without doing anything. And they can be a small staff member who is exhausted. Do you think they still understand us?"
"In the face of huge disparity of interests, can you still expect them to sit down calmly and understand each other with us?"
"According to you, can we never have real peace between us and the natural person?" Lux's eyes were filled with sadness, and there was a hint of confusion and loss in his eyes looking at Xiu.
"Yes." However, Xiu did not seem to see Lux's eyes. "The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. This is the truth that will last forever. Permanent peace is not realistic at all. All we can do is to maintain that short-term peace as much as possible!"
"But now, we can't even maintain this simple peace!" Lux said faintly, "Just as you said just now, everyone is not willing to understand each other, so how can we forgive each other and stop the war?"
"What is forgiveness? Why do we need forgiveness? What does the army do for?" Xiu revealed a hint of disdain in his tone, "Praying for is not peace and forgiveness, but it will make the other party think that we are cowardly and can be bullied and further deepen the invasion! Only the deterrence of strength can shock the other party, make them afraid, and stop the war from each other! But this premise is that you must defeat him, beat him, and be afraid of him! In a sense, war may be the best way to resolve the conflict between the two sides!"
Xiu thought of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States a long time ago. At that time, both sides built atomic bombs, but they did not dare to use them. They were afraid of angering each other and caused a situation of death. So they stopped the war and then moved to the political, economic pressure, espionage or hostile propaganda and other means of fighting. Although both sides were still arrogant and neither of them obeyed each other, in a sense, this kind of cold war that was verbal was much better than hot wars! At least there was no need to die on a large scale, especially civilians. This was also the situation where the plant and the earth united in the future that Xiu hoped to see, but the difference between the two sides is really...
There is no longer a long way to go!
"Is this... what you think?" A trace of indescribable emotion flashed in Lux's eyes, and a trace of disappointment and disbelief. "Using this method can only arouse people's fear and deepen each other's hatred. A temporary peace only brews greater disasters! What's the use of such peace?"
"It's better than dying in an unknown way with your naive thoughts!" Seeing that Lux was still so "obsessed", Xiu's anger also got a little angry, "Miss Lux, war always kills people! Do you want to solve the problem at once and then stay calm for a hundred years, or do you keep fighting and making trouble and killing more people!"
Lux didn't say anything anymore, just looked at Xiu silently.
War and Peace, hardliners and steady parties, just like Shu and Lux today, this kind of question will continue to be discussed for thousands of years, and there will be no standard answer...
"Well, let's not discuss such a problem! Plant leaders worry about these things. Today is Valentine's Day. Why bother arguing about this issue? It makes each other unhappy?" Seeing the atmosphere a little stiff. Aslan, who has been like a light bulb from the beginning, felt even more distressed. He quickly stood up and separated the two of them. "Ah, talking about Xiu, we haven't communicated with our mother for a long time. Today is Valentine's Day, my father can't accompany her, so we will talk to her mother for a while. Do you want to see Misty?"
Xiu looked at Lux, remained silent for a long time, and finally closed his eyes silently: "Okay."
"Hey, Lux, you heard it too? Can you borrow your optical communication device for use?" Aslan blinked at Lux.
"Well, you wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Looking at Aslan's suggestion, Lax forced a smile, nodded at them, and then stood up and left.
In fact, just go and call the maids to the communication device. The reason why Lux went to get it himself was to fight for a space so that she and Xiu were a little calm. This seemed to be the first time since that time seven years ago, he lost to him in an argument?
"Xu, Lux is a girl after all, or your fiancée. So what if you ask her to?" Looking at Xiu's face with her eyes closed without any expression, Aslan sighed helplessly. In fact, he also agreed with Xiu's statement, but he just felt that as a boy, he always had to be humble to girls.
"I know." Xiu opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of helplessness, "But I can't help it..."
"Can't help it?" Aslan looked at Xiu with some confusion, as if he couldn't understand what he meant.
Lax's idea was not bad, on the contrary, it was too good, so good that it was a bit unrealistic. And it was precisely because the leaders at that time also had such an idea that the Seventh Battalion of Wolf Tooth was wiped out, and that battle only Xiu and the other four people came back... So whenever Lax mentioned such a thing, Xiu would always be unable to help it...
"I understand, I will try my best to restrain myself." Xiu brewed his emotions and smiled again.
"That's good. I don't want you two to be unhappy. I have recognized this sister-in-law and are waiting for your wedding banquet!" Aslan said with a smile.
"Where are you talking about this again? Xiu just turned his eyes, and the kid's thinking jumped slightly faster, right?
"What's the matter so weird? You can't be talking bad about me, right?" At this moment, Lux walked over with a communication device in his hand and smiled. The perfect smile could not tell the traces of the quarrel just now.
"Where do we dare to do that? Isn't it Xiu?" Aslan smiled and patted Xiu on the shoulder.
"Ah, that's right." Looking at Lux, Xiu smiled and took the communication device from her hand.
"Hey, don't you mind watching me next to you?" Lux sat down next to Xiu with a smile.
"Of course, to be precise, that's your future mother..." Xiu smiled and turned on the communication device.
Aslan, who was standing beside him, smiled a little while when he saw the two of them, and sighed deeply.
The communication was connected not long after.
The beautiful woman with long purple hair is wearing a sun hat standing by the field, smiling brightly.
"Mom, long time no see."
"Hey, Aslan, Xiu, why are you looking for me so much today? Ah, Lux is here too!"
"Hello Auntie, I'm still so pretty after a long time not seeing you!" Lux smiled sweetly, as cute as a doll.
"Haha, thank you, Lux is getting more and more beautiful! It's really cheap to repair our family!" Renoua said with a smile.
"Mom, where are you talking about this?" Lenoya said so bluntly, which made Xiu feel a little unacceptable. The awkward look made Aslan, Lux and Lenoya in the communication couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't go far. I'm very satisfied with this daughter-in-law Lux. If you hadn't taken the lead, I would have hoped she would marry our Aslan!"
"Mom! (Auntie!)" Aslan and Lux couldn't help but scream. Now, it was not just Xiu who was embarrassed.
"Hahaha, you guys are really cute! Today is Valentine's Day, don't worry, the research here is almost over. At that time, I will have a lot of time to accompany you! At that time, I must dress Xiu very handsomely before she can marry Lux!" Renoua's laughter was very happy, but Xiu was embarrassed and could only lower her head to drink water.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about the others when I go back!" Renoa smiled and waved to the side, "Come on, Misty, you can say a few words to your young master!"
"Young Master!" A beautiful girl in a short skirt and with long brown wavy curly hair came into the eyes of Xiu, "Long time no see."
"Misty, it's been a long time since I saw you. Are you still used to it there?" Xiu's expression couldn't help but soften a little.
When he was panicked when he first came to this world, a girl felt relieved with her sister-like feeling. After her father had an accident, she did not choose to leave like everyone else, but continued to stay by her side to take care of herself.
Now she is no longer a maid from the Osiris family, but a right-hand assistant to the famous agriculturalist Renoua Sarah of the plant. No one can underestimate it.
"Well, the doctor is taking care of me very much!" Misty smiled happily.
"Well, Misty, didn't I say I didn't need to scream so seriously in private!" Renoua's voice came.
"But I'll be back soon?" Xiu held the cup and took a sip of water.
"Well, after the matter here is over, I will be able to return to Sarah's house and continue to take care of you, Master." Misty nodded with a smile.
"I'm so old that I can take care of myself. And you are no longer my maid. You can go out to find a job by yourself?" Xiu smiled bitterly, shook his head. Why do they all think they are children?
However, Misty just shook her head gently: "The young master will always be Misty's young master, Misty will always be the young master's maid. I said, I will go wherever the young master goes. I will always take care of the young master!"
"Haha, 'I'll go wherever my young master goes' It's so close, it makes me a little jealous!" Lux leaned against Xiu's ear with a smile and said softly.
"Uh..." Xiu scratched his head uncomfortable, vaguely feeling a gust of cold wind blowing behind him. Aslan was laughing secretly.
However, at this moment, the screen suddenly became blurred, and there was a rustling sound of electric current in the sound, making Misty unable to hear what she said later.
In the end, when the three of them were stunned, the picture turned completely blank and the communication was interrupted.
"Lux, is your communication device broken?" Aslan asked in confusion.
"No, I just bought it a new one not long ago!" Lux was also confused.
"Can you buy a defective product..." Xiu muttered, but when he saw Lux's smile turned around, he quickly closed his mouth and began to check the communication device.
"Hey, there is nothing wrong with the communication device itself?" Xiu thought for a while, took out his phone, but found that he could not receive any signal.
"Signal interference? How is it possible? Just forget about mobile phones, this is optical communication... Well, Lux, have you said there are abnormal weather such as sunspot activity recently?" Xiu asked suddenly.
"No, what's wrong?" Lux thought for a while and said.
"No? It's broken now!" Xiu changed his face in an instant.
"What's wrong?" Lux and Aslan just looked at Xiu in confusion and said to themselves, their faces suddenly turned pale and they couldn't help but ask.
"Those damn bastards really dare to use them!" Xiu ran to the living room of Lux's house in anger, "Girl, lend your phone number!"
"Dare to use it? What?" Lux and Aslan looked at each other, still couldn't figure out what was going on.
"What to use? Nuclear weapons!"
Perhaps powerful electromagnetic waves can interfere with the signal of satellite phones, but if they want to interfere with optical communication, the intensity must be much stronger than electromagnetic waves. Generally speaking, only special astronomical phenomena such as sunspot explosions can interfere with optical communication. Therefore, optical communication is the most stable communication today.
However, there is another substance that can also interfere with optical communication. That is neutrons.
A powerful neutron flow can definitely offset and block optical signals, causing communication interference.
In the absence of any astronomical phenomena, all Cultivator could think of was the flow of neutrons. What could be powerful enough to block the flow of neutrons in the optical communications? Cultivator, who was in the nuclear weapon room, should be clear. Ironically, he had just handed over the development plan for the neutron jammer not long ago, and before he could pass the review, the other party made such a move.
"Nuclear...nuclear weapons?" Lux and Aslan were stunned by such a blockbuster bomb. "You're kidding? Xiu, did you guess wrong!"
"I also hope I guessed wrong... Bastard, please contact it quickly!" Xiu kept broadcasting the call from the nuclear weapon room, but for some reason he couldn't get through.
"I'll turn on the TV!" Lux and Aslan were not ordinary children. They immediately calmed down and ran to the living room to turn on the TV. If it was really a nuclear bomb, the media would definitely report such a big thing! Moreover, the data transmission line of cable media such as TV is deeply wrapped in rubber, and the probability of interference is lower.
Before turning on the TV, the three of them still had a trace of luxury, hoping that this was just a mistaken guess, but a false alarm. However, when the TV was turned on, the hearts of the three of them instantly chilled...
