Chapter 870: Just to be the first
As mentioned before, Phoebe has the ability to put any part of her body into a dormant state like dolphins and whales, and during this visit, she has nothing to do during the daytime horseback riding, so it looks like she is riding a horse, but in fact Phoebe is taking this trip as a vacation, and has been adjusting and alienating her body in stages. The human brain is the only part of the body that does not have a lymphatic system, which makes the brain can only rely on the concentration change of cerebrospinal fluid during sleep to discharge the metabolic waste of the brain, and this excretion process essentially depends on the change of concentration, so no matter how people rest, the concentration of brain waste after reaching a certain CD, it is impossible to reduce it again, if you make an analogy, that is, the rest of the human body is a city with a complete sewage system, and the human brain can be regarded as those world-renowned cities with poor hygiene.
Phoebe, who can control the cells of the whole body, will naturally "clean" her brain completely from time to time, and compared to others, Phoebe is very concerned about the amount of inorganic waste in her brain.
Therefore, although Phoebe needs less sleep, Phoebe will put one-third of her brain into sleep from time to time, on the one hand, as mentioned before, to let the tired cells get rest, and then improve their survival time, on the other hand, in order to clean up the inorganic matter in this part of the brain- This is also the reason why Phoebe is reluctant to go to the hospital for examination, if the blood is drawn, people will find that the cerebrospinal fluid in her blood is much higher than that of ordinary people, and if a brain scan is performed, it is easier to find the difference in her brain imaging.
However, even so, Phoebe still considers herself human, after all, she is fundamentally not perverted enough to make her reproductive isolation from humans, and without reproductive isolation, she is naturally human - Phoebe thinks that the difference between her and humans is at best like the difference between a wolf and a dog, not the difference between a chimpanzee and a human.
Wales, early in the morning, the camp of Phoebe's team.
After Phoebe woke up from her "sleep", she began to tidy up the armor on her body, according to the etiquette, the whole body armor can not be taken off until she arrives at the destination to complete the ceremony, and the reason why there is such a requirement is entirely because the nobles who had fiefs at the beginning were all awarded the title for military merits, and the etiquette of letting the descendants wear the full body armor was also set at that time, on the one hand, to let the descendants feel the battlefield, on the other hand, to let the descendants always be vigilant- It has been said that in the beginning, the fiefdom nobles were awarded because of their military exploits, and many nobles actually had friction and even grudges between them, and the reason for this phenomenon was that they did not want the territories of the nobles with friendly relations to be next to each other, and at that time, one way to deal with the hostile nobles was to kidnap or even assassinate the heirs of the other party, so the heirs of many nobles needed to be prepared to deal with all kinds of "thieves" on the way to obtain the inheritance recognized by the royal family War, therefore, for the heir, without obtaining royal recognition, it is impossible to disarm.
People like to be comfortable, including the British aristocracy who thought they were very classical and excellent, but in fact, they had long since fallen, and many of the previous rules had been forgotten by them.
And Phoebe's behavior to embarrass the royal family makes the nobles who are qualified to teach her dare not speak, because fundamentally speaking, the noble council has never formulated a law to simplify the inheritance etiquette, everyone is just very tacitly lazy, and the heir of the Lorek family, who has been oppressed, does this, although there is a slap in the face, but everyone knows that no one will raise the issue of weakening the classical etiquette of the nobles, after all, the British aristocracy has been claiming to be extraordinary because of the ancient heritage for centuries, but their lazy performance over the centuries shows that the British aristocracy is both spiritual quality and honesty and trustworthiness, its level is actually similar to that of ordinary people.
Under Phoebe's background, the entire British aristocracy became no longer noble.
When ordinary people deal with such a dilemma, they will generally instinctively oppose and deny Phoebe, and their behavior will become much crazier than in the past, but Phoebe expects that although the British aristocracy has long become very inferior, they will still try their best to maintain the face of this class, and for now, Phoebe joining the aristocracy is already a sure thing, so they adopted the way Phoebe expected, that is, to elevate Phoebe as much as possible.
As long as Phoebe is elevated to a certain level, the entire aristocracy can continue to say with peace of mind that Phoebe is not an ordinary person, and it is natural to achieve things that others cannot achieve.
Of course, Phoebe had anticipated this for a long time, so in the previous period of territorial inspection, she had been reserving topics for the nobles to elevate her, such as commanding the dogs, guns picking bulls, all of them, in fact, Phoebe also arranged a bigger topic for the nobles in the castle, but it has not yet been launched.
As for why Phoebe did this, it is very simple, she is more in favor of the American system of order than the British system of order, although she does not intend to challenge the entire British system and reform it, but it does not mean that she will compromise with the British system.
That's right, Phoebe's actions in Britain were themselves part of a power struggle, not in the slightest based on good and evil and fairness. After all, the rule here is that those who are also slow should be devoured by those who react quickly, just like Phoebe commands the cells in her body to devour all the microorganisms that try to invade her body, if she moves slowly, she will lose quite a few cells, and for her, every cell is precious.
Well, Phoebe is "leading" her cells to engulf microbes from the outside world every minute, which is why it was previously said that in extreme cases, she can go without eating or drinking for a long time. It is also for this reason that she has an advantage over the average person in molecular biology research, which is why Titan was able to put the original smallpox into its northern neighbor so quickly and start biological research - in essence, Phoebe wants to find one or more bacteria that can help her fight against external microorganisms, not just the current symbiotic bacteria that are fighting both the human body and the external bacteria.
And for this reason, Phoebe is conducting research for human health, but although this research did not find the flora that could satisfy her as Phoebe thought, one of the results was the symbiotic agent that Barbara brought to Mira before.
In fact, the level of secrecy of this study in Titan is very low, so that many pharmaceutical groups have noticed what Titan is doing, so the pharmaceutical group has to formally negotiate with Titan - as mentioned before, the habit of sharing meals has minimized the possibility of European and American people passing on symbiotic bacteria to each other through diet, so that a considerable number of people have digestive diseases that can only be found in modern times. Pharmaceutical groups can make a lot of money from it, and they are trying to promote the habit of splitting meals around the world in order to do more – and of course, there are dangers associated with the sharing system, such as the spread of viral hepatitis.
Although neither Phoebe nor Titan have any intention of entering the field of medicine, but who knows if Titan will do so in the future? After all, Titan promised not to enter the field of cosmetics before, but soon after that, the Pandora Association was established, and so many wealthy people began to give up the use of cosmetics and skin care products of pharmaceutical groups, which is still very angry......
And Phoebe deliberately let the pharmaceutical group know the direction and results of Titan's biological research, just like she had to hold an inheritance ceremony in accordance with classical etiquette in the United Kingdom, but also to compete for the first hand and the right to speak in the power pattern, although it seems that her approach is a bit aggressive, but those who can really understand know that this is actually a nascent power group declaring its sphere of influence and ways of doing things, just like the young male lion drives the old male lion out of the lion pack, on the one hand, he wants to kill all the cubs, and on the other hand, he has to declare the sovereignty of the territory by defecating on the border of the territory。
Although she has done a lot of things, Phoebe understands that in order to consolidate Titan's position, she should actually do many more things, after all, only Titan's position is stable enough for her to provide enough security for girlhood - especially in the small circle of the diplomatic bloc that seems to be deferential at the moment, Titan's position is very stable, but no one knows what will happen in the future, Phoebe feels that in order to be just in case, Titan must be pushed up all the time.
In Phoebe's view, maintaining Titan's status and even taking it to the next level is the same as her "directing" cells to devour invading microbes and allowing them to rest in batches.
In the same way, when one thing is done, Phoebe will not waste time, but will move on to the next thing, for example, get up and work after sleeping. When Phoebe wakes up, one of the seven retinues, the "Stonemason", is awake, and it is now the time period when he is in charge of the vigil, and after him, it is Phoebe's time slot.
The heirs of the territorial nobles mentioned above need to undertake many things on the road of succession, one of which is to command and unite their subordinates, and Phoebe brought out the seven most important professions in the territory of the nobles of a remote territory, blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, tailors, night watchmen (fire men), agricultural and animal husbandry managers (water men), clerks, plus Barbara, the head lady, and Geoffrey, who represents the bard, happen to be the main subordinates of a territorial nobles- Of course, there are also people in other professions in an aristocratic territory, such as chefs and the like, but those are not particularly necessary, in fact, if according to classical etiquette, the British aristocracy does classify chefs as less important people, and this is why British catering has been criticized an important reason.
And this kind of team composition is actually a show to the king and other nobles that the territory that their heirs will lead is a strong and wealthy territory, and for these talents who are directly related to the strength of the territory, there are even enough to form another team.
Phoebe motioned for the stonemason to rest, and then stared at the fire as Geoffrey had done before going to bed, and her fingers were in front of her as if she were holding a ball, ten fingers bent and straightened from time to time.
This is actually Phoebe using 3D language to communicate with the AI she made, which is much more convenient and efficient to use than binary communication, which only she and the AI understand.
The AI that communicates with her expresses her meaning through the thermocapacitance corresponding to each finger in her glove, and of course, the feedback switch is also in the glove, so Phoebe will bend her fingers as if she is in a daze.
After fibby fiddled with it for a while, she suddenly found that the etiquette inspector sent by the royal family had woken up and was looking at her with mixed emotions - this was discovered by Phoebe through emotional induction.
Phoebe quietly stopped what she was doing, and after a while, she leaned over and picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire, causing a spark to rise, and looking at the sparks flying into the sky, Phoebe sighed.
The etiquette inspector of the royal family has actually been frightened by Phoebe's performance these days, as a hereditary court nobleman, he actually has some sympathy for the Rorek family, after all, the Lorek family was also a court nobleman before. Hearing Phoebe's sigh, the Inspector listened carefully to the left and right, and heard the sound of sleeping, so he sat down and sighed softly.
Phoebe naturally understood that he was trying to attract her attention, so she didn't hesitate to bite the hook and turned her head to look over.
The Inspector waved his hand in embarrassment when he saw Phoebe looking at her, and Phoebe nodded slightly, and then stopped looking at the prosecutor. In fact, Phoebe judged through emotional induction, this ombudsman is actually the same as Jeffrey, he can't bear it for two days, in fact, he just wants to wait for the opportunity to talk to him.
Sure enough, Phoebe heard a slight movement, and the Ombudsman walked over cautiously, sat down on the ground like Jeffrey, and did not speak immediately, but first picked up a branch and threw it into the fire, looking at the stirred sparks, and then asked as if very casually: "In recent years, there have always been people who say that Britain should not have a royal family, Miss Lorek, what do you think?"
To be honest, Phoebe really didn't expect him to ask this question, but after a moment of silence, Phoebe replied, "Obviously, these people either have ulterior motives or are hopelessly stupid. ”
"Oh, why do you say that?" the Ombudsman was a little surprised by Phoebe's answer, and he thought Phoebe would not understand.
Phoebe shook her head: "Let's not talk about the allegiance of the Commonwealth member states, let's talk about the royal assets that are nominally private property, but are actually managed by the British government, these assets are actually equivalent to the state-owned assets of the Soviet Union in the past, we all know what happened when the Soviet Union collapsed and the state-owned assets began to be privatized." I dare say that if there really is no royal family in England, then there will soon be a complete privatization of the royal family's assets, and the sources of government spending on public administration and public affairs will be greatly reduced, and I wonder what ordinary people who foolishly support the abolition of the royal family will think. ”
When the Inspector heard Phoebe say this, he immediately felt cordial with Phoebe, although Phoebe's current approach seems to be challenging the authority of the royal family, but in essence, Phoebe is still very supportive of the royal family, so many things can still be discussed......
