044 Second Gun
There are billions of people in the world, and more than half of them live in cities. Megacities can accommodate tens of millions of people.
The industry is developed and complex economic activities connect countries. The oil extracted on the east coast of the Mediterranean can be transported tens of thousands of kilometers away by giant tankers, supporting a complex chemical industry.
Countless novels, movies, music, and games support the spiritual entertainment needs of hundreds of millions of people. Moreover, people can also find content they are interested in on the Internet. No matter how strange a person's interests and positions are, he can always find a suitable circle.
.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no heavenly kingdom of God. Everything is done by all kinds of people, not by the gift of God...
After Li Yu said this, he felt that it seemed a bit empty.
Hilaria was still confused.
The girl thought for a while and said weakly: "There were many people in the old days, and...were they all very rich?"
Li Yu: "I can't say that they are all rich, but they are indeed much better than the new era. In the old era, especially in the 21st century, the average life span in the world exceeded seventy years."
Hilelia was shocked: "Doesn't that mean most people can live to be over seventy years old?"
Li Yu nodded: "More than that. In that era, hunger and deprivation would only occur when there was extreme poverty or unexpected changes. The cause of death that caused the most deaths was not war, let alone famine, but suicide and
diabetes."
Hilelia: "Diabetes is not something only nobles and wealthy businessmen can get...and why do you want to commit suicide?"
Li Yu: "Some are due to family reasons, and more are due to greater pressure. When the basic food and clothing are satisfied, people will always need more things, such as status and dignity, as well as houses, cars, etc. As a result,
I pushed myself to the point of emotional breakdown. Of course, there was also depression and the like.”
Hilelia had never heard of depression, but she noticed a detail in the words: "Car, do you mean the kind that requires fuel rods?"
Li Yu: "Although the way of consuming fuel is a little different, you can understand it this way."
Hilelia's pupils were shocked: "Can ordinary civilians afford a car?"
Li Yu smiled and nodded: "In big cities, road congestion and lack of parking spaces have become very serious problems that are difficult to solve."
The girl couldn't help but murmured: "Were the old times so beautiful..."
Li Yu sighed: "You have never experienced it, otherwise you would know that the old era was more beautiful than you imagined. Of course, no era will be perfect, but at least this era is completely incomparable."
Hilaria couldn't help but ask: "Then do you want to restore the old times?"
"Recovery? Hahahaha..." Li Yu laughed, "This goal is too ambitious and is not something I should consider. To be honest, as long as I can survive now, it is enough."
Hilaria nodded and whispered: "You just said a lot of things that I haven't heard of. What is that Internet?"
Li Yu tried to organize the language, but found that it was really difficult to explain. From the earliest Internet to the later mobile Internet, there was so much that needed to be explained.
So he said: "We will get in the car and set off in two days. Then, I will talk to you slowly in the car."
Seeing him turning around to leave, Hilelia asked: "What are you going to do now?"
Li Yu: "Go out and practice shooting."

Old Feloni gave Li Yu a gun, which was the SVD sniper rifle that was made by replicating the production line of the old era.
The network keyboard warriors of the old days once had a public opinion - the so-called marksmen were all fed with bullets.
Li Yu knew this very well, so he naturally took advantage of the break to train his shooting accuracy and proficiency with firearms. After all, combat ability directly affects the chance of future survival.
But since you want to practice shooting, of course you need bullets, and a lot of bullets.
So that afternoon, Li Yu went to the bar counter and found old Feloni.
There were no customers in the bar at this time.
Li Yu simply said: "Friend, I need some 7.62mm rifle bullets."
The old man was holding a pipe in his mouth and staring at the label on the wine bottle. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at it, and asked: "You are already proficient in disassembling and assembling guns?"
To practice shooting a gun here, you must first learn to disassemble and assemble it. After all, it is impossible to shoot in the city, and there are electronic sentries at the city gate, so the gun must be disassembled and put in a metal box before it can be taken out.
Li Yu nodded: "No problem."
The old man slowly put down the wine bottle: "Okay, I'll give it to you later...if you are discovered when you take it out, do you know what to do?"
Li Yu thought for a moment and replied: "Just run. I am very confident in my sprint speed."
The old man smiled and stroked his beard: "I will add some flash bombs, high-explosive bombs, smoke bombs and the like for you... If you are discovered, that will be great. If you go out with a sniper rifle, you can also cause a lot of damage."
Destruction. We usually do some small damage from time to time in Kandahar City."
Li Yu: "Use all of them, and the damage will not be too small."
Old Feloni shook his head: "Haha, even if the city wall is blown down, as long as no angel is killed, it is not a big damage. Central control chips and nanomachines are much more valuable than those bricks and cement.
.But are you sure you want to practice sniper rifle?"
Li Yu said decisively: "I'm sure."
Old Feloni: "This thing is a bit difficult. So whether we are a mage or an ordinary warrior, our first choice is usually an assault rifle or a machine gun. Why are you obsessed with sniping?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Of course the farther the distance between the group starts, the better."

Li Yu was lying next to a rock in the desert, holding a sniper rifle and aiming at a poplar tree a few hundred meters away.
The big tree was nearly ten meters high, very thick, but the trunk was a little twisted. Its head was bare without a single leaf, as if it had dried up and died for a long time, but it still stood stubbornly in the desert.
The scope of the SVD sniper rifle is not the crosshair in common shooting games, but the PSO-1 reticle - a windage scale, a ballistic drop scale, and a range gauge are added to the scope.
It's impossible to understand something if you study hard.
Li Yu did not have an instructor beside him. However, he had already asked the old Ferroni and roughly understood the operation of the firearm and the use of the scope. The rest was to consume bullets and slowly hone the operation.
After taking aim for a long time, he finally pulled the trigger and fired the first bullet.
The poplar tree in the lens was not injured at all, and the bullet flew to nowhere.
"If you don't hit the target, how can you adjust the trajectory..."
Li Yu murmured, staring at the rangefinder in the scope and thinking about it carefully.
It seems to be a long time before he can take a sniper rifle to the battlefield. Fortunately, he is not short of time now.
