Chapter 1643 No Time to Die (VI)
Most of the signs of mankind's industrial revolution are breakthroughs in the field of energy and power. Therefore, modern historians believe that mankind will inevitably have new energy sources with higher utilization rates and cleaner quality during the third industrial revolution.
And now, humans do have it. With the further construction of the Mercury base, various countries are putting into production and extracting parts and materials for solar energy-related equipment. In the era of great development of the universe, those who have the ability to fly out first will be able to eat the most. cake.
When the photos of the Mercury base were released on the official media of various countries, most ordinary people felt as if they were in another world. They thought it was a scene in a new Hollywood blockbuster, or it was another crazy photographer. The result of division p chart.
When the official media confirmed the authenticity of the photo, a storm of public opinion swept the world, and the French historian's article was dug out of the corner - he was right, the third industrial revolution had begun.
The beginning of mankind's third industrial revolution is marked by the successful construction of the first solar energy collection station on Mercury. This is a statement currently recognized by mainstream historians.
Being able to painlessly mine solar energy means a lot of things, but people still only care about two things - how hot can water burn? How far can a stone fly?
Facts have proved that the third industrial revolution will be the most important industrial revolution in human history, because the stones flew too far this time, about dozens of light-years away.
After confirming this fact, another kind of confusion followed. People were not ready to accept the fact that human beings had become an interstellar civilization. The spacecraft flew too far, and thoughts had not yet spread their wings.
As a result, overnight, drastic changes in ideological trends swept across the world. Panics, reflections, radicals, conservatives, those who praised, those who denounced, those who were interested in profit, and those who were righteous, the entire cultural circle of mankind was turned into a mess.
It can be said that all media have become a battlefield of public opinion, and the craze of punk culture has made a good start. The anger and panic that should have been suppressed in the heart have all turned into fierce output text.
Then the public opinion field was flooded with its natural characteristics. After people got tired of those purely emotional output views, they began to pursue information that was more literary and artistic, or simply had aesthetic value.
Under such circumstances, where there is a market, there will be creation, and literature and artists began to exert their efforts. Newspaper debates that had not occurred for hundreds of years have risen again. Many new commentators have come to the fore. Because of their sharp satirical writings that can be regarded as classics, It has become the center of people's daily conversations.
Then, rock, rap and other music forms that always paid attention to the environment of the times made breakthrough changes. A lyrical rap album "We Run to Death Within the High Wall of the Times" released by the rapper in prison became an instant hit, followed closely by The old rock band made a comeback, and a platinum album called "Sun" was released and once again dominated the charts.
What followed were column interviews from major newspapers and overwhelming news reports. Among the endless ocean of opinions, only one opinion was generally recognized by the public, and that was - "We seem to have really witnessed history."
Eddie Brock walked into the S.H.I.E.L.D. Spider Legion base. He looked at the empty base, a little confused, and then walked towards the only figure sitting at the table.
"Gwen, what's going on? Where are everyone?"
Gwen Spider-Man typed on the keyboard without raising her head and said: "Who are you looking for?"
"Peter Parker."
"It's unlucky for you to come here. If you had shouted like this at this time, you would have been drowned out by Peter Parker."
"So where are they all? Well, where's the Peter of our universe?"
"I was borrowed by the editor of Global Times to have a fight."
"Uh...what about the Amazing Spider-Man?"
“Borrowed by the editor of the New York Times to get into a fight.”
"Where's Miles?"
"Borrowed by the editor of the Daily Bugle for a quarrel."
"Why did they borrow Spider-Man to fight?"
"Because there are quarrels everywhere, and they all think they can win." Spider-Man Gwen concentrated on writing her paper. She hit Enter hard, then turned to look at Eddie and said, "I know you might I also want to borrow Spider-Man to quarrel. After all, we are recognized that our mouths are faster than our brains and we can argue for days without getting tired. Moreover, we are also willing to refute those too radical views. "
"But you came a little late. Now I'm the only one left here, and I still have to rush to write the paper. My proposal report has been sent back to be rewritten. Tonight is the dead line. I'm afraid you can only fight on your own. ”
"I came to Peter for his exclusive interview." Eddie shook his head and said, "I don't have time to participate in their quarrel. I still have a documentary to shoot."
"I heard that you want to make a documentary on a superhero theme." Gwen looked back and asked while typing with some interest: "How many have you shot so far? Do you have any samples?"
Speaking of this, Eddie sighed deeply and said: "I seem to have been cursed, that is, 'The actors I urgently need must have a reason to leave New York in the near future.' All the clips were only half shot. I was expecting Spider-Man to be the first theme to be completed.”
Eddie shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked out, muttering: "I have to go talk to Schiller about this matter. I know they are very busy, but if no one cooperates with me, this film will not work anymore." It won’t take ten years to finish filming.”
Eddie found Schiller in the office of Arkham Nursing Home. Before he entered the office, he heard Schiller's voice coming intermittently from the door, as if he was talking to someone on the phone.
"Being busy at work is just a temporary excuse. You can't use this to lure him for a lifetime. Demon gods usually don't have as much curiosity as humans. Maybe she will be more interested at first and want to find out why you are avoiding him, but it won't be long before she will give up.”
"Mr. Thanos, you have to understand that dragging someone with you is not creating a closed space artificially. She will feel unfree and want to leave, and what you have to do is exactly the opposite. You want her to feel that she is It’s free and makes her not want to leave.”
"Yes, generally speaking, this is a bit difficult, especially when the opponent is a cosmic demon who is much more powerful than you, but as long as it is an intelligent life, there will definitely be something to be afraid of. You have to find the key ball first."
"Of course, if you make progress, you can contact me at any time. The universe has given these gods too much, and we should get some back from it. It is my honor to be able to help... Okay, goodbye."
Thanos hung up the phone. He walked out of the bathroom and saw a woman in a black dress and a hood sitting on the sofa in his office.
"What's wrong, honey? What took you so long?"
Thanos said calmly: "Unfortunately, my clothes were hung on my belt. It took me a while to untie them. Now I have some time. What do you want me to help you with?"
Death looked a little surprised. She didn't expect Thanos to find time so quickly. She sat on the sofa and raised her legs, cleared her throat, and then said: "You should know that humans on Earth have special beliefs. The power?"
Thanos nodded and sat across from Death. Death stretched out his hand to close his hood and said: "An old enemy of mine, 'Annihilation', is currently busy spreading his beliefs on the earth. I hope you can To stop him, or at least make things less smooth."
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
"It's not really a grudge." Death floated behind Thanos, bent down and held his face with cold fingers, and said: "I just hope you can do one thing for me. This is just the way we passed by. A small gift after a long separation is your chance to express your love to me, dear, you will, right?"
Thanos immediately remembered the content of the 'obedience test in mental manipulation' that Schiller had introduced in class before, that is, asking the other party to help with a small thing to test the difficulty of the other party's obedience. If the other party If you do it, you will fall into the trap of mental manipulation step by step.
Thinking of the most basic solution Schiller mentioned in that class, Thanos compared the situation he was facing now and began to think quickly about coping strategies.
Usually many people know that when faced with this kind of situation, they should reject it outright. Especially if the other party has no interest relationship with you, just say "no" directly. Sometimes you should also emphasize "I have no obligation to do anything for you". Do this", so that the refusal can be more justified.
But if you want to politely refuse without offending the other party, many people will make a mistake, that is, they will start to make excuses, such as saying that they are very busy, so they can't do it for the time being. It may seem like a rejection, but in fact it is still a refusal. Complying with the other person's wishes completes the obedience test, because the very act of making excuses symbolizes withdrawal.
Thanos's instinctive reaction is also to say that he is busy at work and therefore has no time. One is because he is really busy at work, and the other is because he does have some illusions in his heart that the other party can understand him. One of the illusions of intelligent life is that the other party can understand him. I.
But he had to reverse this instinctive reaction and adopt a more skillful approach to the conversation.
"No, I'm afraid I can't do this." Thanos took a deep breath in his heart and tried his best to reproduce Schiller's expression in class. He stared at death with a focused look and said: "Just like you said , we finally meet again, why waste time on these unimportant things? "
After speaking, he leaned forward, reached out and held the hand of death and said: "I have imagined the day of reunion countless times, but it was only on this day that I realized that I could no longer endure even a moment of separation."
Just as Death was about to open her mouth to say something, Thanos interrupted her, stretched out a hand and said: "Of course, I will always regard your affairs as more important than my own feelings, and of course I am willing to do this for you. thing, but can’t the two of us go together?”
Thanos is actually reproducing the method of handling this kind of obedience test that Schiller talked about in class, which is to find a way to throw the mistake to the other party. I don't do it not because I don't want to do it or because I can't do it, but because I don't want to do it or because I can't do it. It's because you didn't provide me with certain conditions, so I can't do it.
This kind of shirk of responsibility should not be too blunt. Use the principle of reverse obedience testing to first propose a condition that the other party is likely to agree to. If the other party agrees, then propose a more radical one.
What Thanos originally thought was that if Death really agreed to go with him, then he suggested that it would be better to fight with Annihilation directly. Judging from Death's attitude, it was impossible for her to go to Annihilation directly, otherwise she would not come. He did.
But Death's reaction was completely beyond Thanos's expectations. Death was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head faster than a rattle. While shaking his head, he said, "No, no, I can't go to Earth!"
Thanos narrowed his eyes slowly. From the body movements of Death just now, it seemed as if there was something terrible on the earth. Could this be the key ball that Schiller mentioned?
At this time, in the office of Arkham Sanatorium, on the single sofa next to the coffee table, Schiller put one leg on the other leg and said to Eddie who was sitting on the sofa opposite: "... So, in your relationship with Venom, he has always been manipulating you, and this originated from the first thing he asked you to do after possessing you."
"But I couldn't refuse him at that time!" Eddie explained excitedly. In the previous hour, he had never refuted Schiller at all. He tried desperately to get back the place.
"Can you imagine? An ordinary human heard the voice of an alien, and my mental state was not very good at that time. I thought he would hurt me, so I..."
"Yes, but when you later confirmed that he would not hurt you, you did not want to reverse this relationship... Why not?"
"I, I think we are friends, manipulation sounds a bit too evil." Eddie said with some embarrassment.
"But I think you have realized that complete indulgence is not a good thing. You should treat him as your child. You need enough authority to guide him and make him do the right thing."
Eddie started to sway again. It was obvious that Venom was making trouble in his heart again. He pulled Eddie to the left, and his chair slid on the floor with a harsh sound. Schiller's eyes instantly fell on the chair legs.
"No, Venom! Damn it, don't do this... Schiller is right, you should be disciplined. Can you be a little polite?"
At this time, Schiller's phone rang. Schiller picked it up and said to the other side.
"Hello? Loki, did the method I told you the other day work? Frigga feels guilty? Yes, it worked. No, don't be shaken by this. Don't you still have Odin?"
"Yes, that's right. Just keep going along this path. OK, call me if there's any new progress... You're welcome. It's my honor to help you."
Loki put down the phone. When she heard the noise coming from outside her bedroom, she stuffed the phone under her pillow.
At this time, Loki was lying on the bed, with her black hair hanging behind her ears. She coughed a few times with a pale face.
Frigga and Odin walked in one after the other. When Frigga saw Loki's face, she quickly rushed to the bedside and hugged her daughter in her arms. She said to Odin behind her in a very rare angry tone.
"You are an irresponsible father! You haven't cared about Loki's physical condition for so many years. Most of the responsibility for her illness lies with you, Odin. I've had enough!"
