272 Mechanical Life (1)

Tong Baiming asked Ning Shi a question.

“What do you think of the big explosion in the Battle of the Two Cities?”

According to the research consensus of the historians of the Norse Republic, the Battle of the Two Cities originated from the greedy nature of the human nobles. The big explosion was an inevitable event.

Even if there was no war between two cities, there would still be wars between three, four, and five cities. As long as the greed of the great nobles was still present, wars would always exist, and a big explosion was inevitable.

As for the big explosion itself, scholars believed that it destroyed the prosperity and civilization of the origin planet, wiped out 95% of the population, and caused the technological level of the origin planet to fall back by hundreds of years. The stored resources were also reduced to less than one-thousandth of the original.

The big explosion was the greatest tragedy in the history of humans on the origin planet.

However, Tong Baiming had intentionally asked this question. Clearly, he had a different view of the big explosion.

Since the mainstream view was critical of the big explosion, Tong Baiming was likely to be against the mainstream view, thinking that the big explosion was not a bad thing.

These thoughts flashed through Ning Shi’s mind. After thinking it through, he pretended to be profound and replied.

“Misfortune and fortune depend on each other.”

Hearing Ning Shi’s reply, Tong Baiming immediately stood up from his chair. For the first time, he seriously examined Ning Shi, and his tone finally had some emotion.

“Mr. Ning, you are not only courageous and fearless but also good at thinking. You have extraordinary knowledge and your own unique understanding of things.

“What a good saying. These simple words are the best evaluation of the big explosion.”

Tong Baiming sincerely praised Ning Shi, causing Tong Qingqing, who was sitting at the side, to be dumbfounded. Since she was young, she had never seen her father praise someone like this.

Tong Baiming continued, “The big explosion indeed brought a great disaster to the origin planet. However, the big explosion also brought more possibilities for the development of the power system of the origin planet.

“The radioactive people rely on the radiation elements brought about by the big explosion to develop a powerful radiation power system. All kinds of plants and animals on the origin planet started to mutate and evolve due to the erosion of the radiation elements. All kinds of radioactive creatures began to appear.

“Although the emergence of these radioactive creatures had squeezed the living space of humans, they had also provided various cultivation resources for humans.

“Some parts of the bodies of radioactive creatures can become biochemical materials. The jelly meat contained in their bodies can give humans endless energy. You butchers can also obtain the meat essence from their bodies to strengthen your physique.

“These are the benefits of the big explosion.”

This was the first time Tong Baiming had explained his understanding of the big explosion to someone. It was as if he had treated Ning Shi as his confidant, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

“When I was collecting information on traditional fighter schools, I found that in the 100 years before the big explosion, there were records of 35 traditional fighter schools going extinct.

“In that era, all the traditional strength-based schools were on the verge of extinction. Only mecha and mecha masters were flourishing.

“In my opinion, the world shouldn’t be like this. The development of the world should be diverse, not singular. The power system should be the same.

“Although the historians of the Norse Republic are as stupid as pigs, their research was right about one thing. The big explosion was inevitable.

“Everything is an inevitable law of the world’s development.

“When the humans on the origin planet were left with only one path of development, the big explosion happened. This is an opportunity for the other power systems.”

Tong Baiming’s words inspired Ning Shi. What he said might not be completely correct, but it was very reasonable.

In particular, it explained that the mastermind behind the big explosion was actually the development needs of the world itself, which was very consistent with the will of the world that existed in the unseen world.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world’s will, the development of mecha masters in the Titanium Pole World could become mainstream, but it couldn’t just be a one-way street. There had to be room for other sects to develop as well.

Ning Shi thought about it further. After the big explosion, perhaps something or a trace of opportunity would be born that would further promote the development of mecha technology.

This would allow the Titanium Pole World to have the possibility of becoming a large world.

Therefore, the great explosion on the origin planet might really have been driven by the world’s will instinct.

Take the butcher profession for example. Before the big explosion, all the supernatural creatures on origin planet had been cleared by the mecha masters.

If butchers wanted to kill extraordinary creatures and extract their meat essence, they had to leave the origin planet and go to outer space to kill.

With the butcher’s strength, it was very dangerous and expensive to carry out interstellar adventures and developments with a butcher knife.

Humans relied on mechas, battleships, and other helium weapons to colonize and develop the galaxy. It was extremely rare for humans to fight hand-to-hand like Butcher.

If a butcher started learning how to use all kinds of helium weapons in order to carry out interstellar exploration, he would naturally rely on helium weapons over time.

After all, compared to hard-earned physical strength, helium weapons were much easier to obtain, and their initial power was much greater.

Since that was the case, why would one risk his life to become a butcher?

Under such an environment, even the inheritance of the butcher profession was difficult to advance, and it was naturally on the verge of extinction.

After the big explosion, there were radioactive creatures on the origin planet, and the situation was slightly better.

At the very least, the One Blade butcher inheritance had been passed down tenaciously.

Ning Shi couldn’t help but nod. He said in agreement, “From the perspective of an ordinary person, but from the perspective of the development of the world, the big explosion does have many benefits.”
