Asimov's "Base"

science fiction master Asimov once set up a galactic empire, and a scientist foresaw the decline of the empire and established a "base" to preserve the fire of civilization. The "Foundation" series of short stories is one of Asimov's most famous works, and the original author of "Black Pine" may have been inspired.

Pilcher, the founder of Black Pine Town, created a "1984"-style "Brave New World". The brainwashing education of the blond headmistress has created a group of fanatics, just like the Boy Scouts in Nazi Germany. When you feed your children wolf milk, The harvest must be a wolf, and the red scarf will surely evolve into a red guard, attacking the public security law.

Sheriff Burke tries to find a balance among various forces and make peace.


Misfortune:

Degenerate savage cannibals with only one logical fate: extinction. A carnivore that eats everything doesn't know how to develop sustainably, and will eventually lead to exhaustion and fish, eating up all the deer, dogs, cats, people on the earth... Start to kill each other, and finally can only eat itself, eat the left hand today, tomorrow After eating the right foot, the whole body is only left with a set of teeth, a stomach and a large intestine.

Suddenly being pulled from the original life into an unfamiliar environment, there should be many strange things, but they did not show. For example, if you see an accident while walking on the street, you will instinctively take out your mobile phone to take a video and upload it to youtube, but in Heisong, the mobile communication network (requires satellite) and the Internet no longer exist, so I don’t think it is strange. ?

And that bomb courier who worked hard all night, please are you so busy? Online shopping doesn't exist anymore, okay? Besides, do you still need a courier in a fart-sized land? You stand at the door of the post office and shout: Zhang Ergou's Hibiscus inflatable doll has arrived! Can the whole village hear it? You still drive a big truck all over the village to waste gas, are you kidding me?
