September 29, 2505. Fourth Field, Heavy Karma, Beta-4 C27· F591, Antigar (vassal) planet.

Following the lecturer, Xia Yanran also escaped from the classroom. From a distance, I saw Long Qicong and An Baixue walking in front. I have anger in my heart, but I am not easy to vent. Hurriedly chased after him.

"What are you two doing here? Shameless, still catch me. ”

Long Qicong and An Baixue glanced at Xia Yanran one after another, and they didn't pay much attention to her anymore.

"Bai Xue, what do you think of the curriculum in this academy?"

"The cultural course is okay, but the cultivation course is ...... Stick to the old ways and follow the script. Now that the spiritual veins of heaven and earth are crumbling, there has been a situation where the spiritual power of the junior cultivators has been completely lost. If you continue like this, it won't be long before your cultivation path will be completely cut off. ”

An Baixue's words are the same as Long Qicong's vision. At this time, there is no way to determine the timing of this issue. According to Long Qicong's speculation, it should be about a hundred years. The Empire's results are a little faster based on the data.

Xia Yanran suddenly remembered the matter of the two old men that Long Qicong helped on the train.

"Didn't you help the two old men get some kind of yuan baby conversion?"

"Can that be promoted?"

Long Qicong shook his head and said, "Those are two cases, very special. When I probed into their bodies before, I found that the spiritual power in their bodies seemed to be degeogenized. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that it's no longer affected by the collapse of the spiritual veins and the difficulty of the end of the law. I suspect it may have been some kind of impact because they ventured into the Sky Tower. After I analyzed it, I just added fuel to the fire. ”

"Where do you want it, analyze me. Help me too? ”

Xia Yanran said with a smile, but Long Qicong always felt that this smile was deliberately pretended. Long Qicong didn't care about this kind of thing, but explained patiently.

"The essence of classical theology is to accumulate primordial resources—psionic energy—in order to gain authority over the planets. I studied the emphasis of modern theology, you say. ”

"Yes, Master." An Baixue cleared her throat, "Modern theology focuses on honing the tools that use primitive resources, learning from things to discover the objective laws of how everything works, and honing skills to gain the ability to flexibly use spiritual power. ”

"Hone tools, not resources. Do you understand? ”

Long Qicong asked Xia Yanran, this is not a boring question. There is no point in teaching anything without understanding this fundamental difference. Seeing that Xia Yanran seemed to be thinking carefully, Long Qicong nodded and decided to make his words clear.

Interstellar wars always take place in different star fields, on different planets. In some places, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is so strong that it can drip water, and in some places, there is no spiritual power at all. The samurai involved in the war, whether they were desperate samurai of the Federation or knights of the Empire, fought in continuous battles.

In the midst of life and death, they learned how to use the least amount of spiritual power to achieve the greatest results. In other words, it was the warrior who was good at planning spiritual power that survived. Because, no matter what level of powerhouse you are, how much spiritual power can you carry around the universe?

The amount of a planet? The amount of a galaxy? No matter how much, as long as it's reality and not fiction, then there's an upper limit to your power, which can be calculated. Even if it's big.

The second question is, is it necessarily good to be big? Is nuclear energy powerful? A super civilization in the interstellar age, nuclear energy is just a simple thing at the level of a starting toy. But why did the Reich and the Federation not have nuclear-powered tanks, nuclear-powered combat vehicles? Even, what communication equipment, cooking stoves, and auxiliary drones are all made nuclear-powered.

Even if a nuclear power reactor is the size of a thermos cup, it is nothing new to serve as a shield for infantry armor.

If a diesel tank, or a vehicle's power module is hit, it will catch fire at best. What if he was nuclear-powered? Of course, if it is a nuclear-powered tank, it can also be equipped with a shield generator.

However, tanks, unlike soldiers, can make tactical maneuvers like lesson plans. Such a big goal must be the goal of prioritizing fire. Moreover, it is often a heavy fire greeting. Tank weapons for individual soldiers, anti-tank weapons for assault aircraft, and even a dozen theological weapons for attacking high-value targets.

In the real situation of the battlefield, the risk of using nuclear power for large targets is quite high. The same is true of theological armament, and almost all theological civilizations have a word, "backlash."

The greater the energy, the greater the risk of "backlash". However, the improvement of spiritual power on the combat power of individual soldiers, even to the point of having strategic value, makes people almost crazy about it. But no matter how crazy, it can also be calmed by the surging risks.

Ever since theological power has been used in warfare, there has been a debate about the offensive and defensive aspects of this power. Targeting the danger of spiritual power has undoubtedly become the best means of targeting spiritual power.

If there is a "backlash", there must be a principle, analyze its principle, and use it to make weapons and write patterns. These have become sharp edges against theological armament.

In the face of this threat, no one wants to store too much spiritual power in their bodies. When it is settled, it eats the source of strength. When it goes berserk, it will be a terrible ghost. Even a momentary disturbance is enough for the theological armament on the other side to kill you.

Therefore, the empire took the lead in having a standardized supply of spiritual power, standard techniques, and standard grading; With the three-dimensional coordinated operation of advanced ground armored infantry-tanks, low-altitude knights, medium and low-altitude assault aircraft; High-altitude fighters, high-dimensional support operations of orbital heavy artillery support ships.

As for whether it is useful or not, whether it is a peak powerhouse swept directly. In the human world, there is no civilization that deliberately pursues the cultivation of peerless powerhouses. The regular armies of the interstellar powers are all copied from the empire. These already speak for themselves.

War is not a turn-based game. Spiritual power is a double-edged sword, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. If you are killed, you will die, even if you are the one who is strong. This is the theological logic born out of the logic of war.

If you can't understand these things deeply, there is no need to study modern theology. Because there is no essential difference between fighting with spiritual power and fighting with fists. Since everyone has finished the Fa, you might as well learn some fist and foot kung fu, and the effect is similar.

However, many people are for the power and power that comes after reaching the pinnacle of powerhouse. Indulge in a realistic game that the planet has inadvertently created. Now this game is going to be closed, and the real game is gone. Long Qicong's advice is to find a virtual game to continue indulging.

Modern theology can't do that.

Xia Yanran was silent. Although she didn't understand what Long Qicong said, some things were still captured by her. Long Qi never said it, but he meant it.

Why are you chasing power?

It also needs to be asked, is it the instinct of human beings to pursue great power?

But here's the problem, in the past, almost everyone in Antija cultivated, and if you didn't cultivate, you would be weaker than others, you would be oppressed and exploited, and you would even die!

But now Antigia's spiritual veins are shattered, and at most it will not take a hundred years, and the people of this planet will be beaten back to their prototypes. Even if a few people are lucky, they won't still have much strength. It can be said that all of them have retreated to the same level. The rules of society have also been rewritten, and wisdom, talent, and money will become the new rules.

In this case, recultivation is no longer the pursuit of strength, but the pursuit of force, or even violence. Why do you cultivate, in order to use your force to bully others, exploit others, or even kill people?

Xia Yanran was silent. Thinking about what Long Qicong might want to express, she couldn't speak even more. She suddenly felt that she was so naïve in front of this child who was less than ten years old.

With such a complicated feeling, Xia Yanran kept silent and left. Arrived in a secluded place, and was quiet. In fact, Long Qicong didn't have any lofty meaning, and he was not so noble. He just wanted to know why Xia Yanran wanted to study modern theology.

If she wants to be high, she is the prince's daughter. Even if her father is deprived of real power, he can still send her to a first-class university.

If it's about bullying someone, virtual games are the best option. Although Ansu has not yet pointed out this technology tree, in less than two years, after the empire develops interstellar trade for Antigia, everything will be available.

There is really no need to study modern theology, because it is not like classical theology, where finding a hole, meditating, closing your eyes is cultivation, hunting for nothing, digging for medicine, and finding a treasure will be rewarded.

Modern theology requires a mountain of expertise, and even mathematics, physics and chemistry. More than ten years of hard reading is no exaggeration. What is needed is fatigue training, reaction training, day after day. A set of standardized movements, repeated thousands of times, is commonplace.

"Bai Xue, I ask you too. Why should you study modern theology with me? ”

An Baixue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Long Qicong to ask her suddenly. Reacting, she didn't want to answer.

"To be your strength."

This time, Cheng Long Qicong showed a surprised expression, and immediately asked, "Is it worth it?" You don't have to follow me down this road of no return, and I don't know what awaits me. ”

"You call me 'Mommy', can I leave you alone?"

Long Qicong smiled helplessly when he heard the '?' and said, "Don't learn from me '?'." I learned from my grandfather since I was a child, and I can't change it. If you speak like this, you will be mistaken for Shabi. ”

An Baixue generally dragged Long Qi into her arms, rubbed it violently, and after laughing, she murmured: "In order for you to be able to smile from the heart, everything is worth it." ”

When Long Qicong heard this, he didn't answer. He didn't know how to respond to the emotion, and he didn't know what it was.

After a brief silence, An Baixue asked.

"If you don't pull Xia Yanran in, I think she looks like a good piece of material. You need more power. ”

Long Qicong was silent, he originally felt that this proposal was very tempting. But he couldn't pass the threshold of conscience, and he was silent for a long time before he said.

"Let her choose."

An Baixue just said a soft "um", and then a figure appeared in her mind. Lin Wanqing, that fragile woman, is a good opportunity to take advantage of the void. Maybe you can.....

Thinking like this, An Baixue began to have bad ideas in her heart.
