Chapter 266: Undead Against Common Sense
Reika Aoki, who led the team to the meeting place, saw Momoka muttering to herself in deep thought.
"What the hell should I do......"
"What's wrong?" , as long as Wang Xingjiang is not mentioned, the relationship between these girls is good, so Aoki Lihua is also a little worried about Momoka's condition.
After all, they may have to give up tens of thousands of lives, and Momoka, who takes saving the people of the world as her own responsibility, may not be able to fully accept it.
But Momoka thought about something else, "Lihua, do you think the resurrected dead are considered human?" β
Wang Xingjiang on the other side also heard a similar question, and he immediately replied, "If you have your own consciousness, then of course it counts." β
"Then why are you so surprised?"
"Nonsense, how can the undead in the general sense have their own consciousness." , Wang Xingjiang put the sword he had just drawn back into the sheath, "And why are you so powerful in the undead transformation spell?" β
After hearing Gary say that he had transformed a group of undead, Wang Xingjiang subconsciously raised his weapon, because most of the necromancers in his impression were not good birds.
But Gary is a good man.
And Gary on the other side also showed an expression that was really like this, "You calm down first, they all still have their own consciousness, but they have changed their life forms." β
Then he asked that question.
Gary was a little stunned when he received an affirmative answer, he really hadn't seen anyone figure it out so quickly, and it took a while for Agasa to understand him.
However, Gary was quite happy because of this, so he immediately answered Wang Xingjiang's question, "These are compulsory courses in our hometown. β
"Wait a minute? Why is necromancy listed as a compulsory course? This answer made Wang Xingjiang feel very inexplicable - but in any worldview involving spells, isn't this kind of spell manipulating corpses taboo?
How can everyone know?
"This is about the history of the resurgence of our race, and it is not something that can be said in a while, so let's wait until the break."
"Well, could you please tell me now? We need to understand this in order to better arrange those people. β
Suddenly hearing Momoka's voice was startled, and he suddenly stood up and rubbed his head against a soft thing, and the girl's delicate voice also sounded......
Lihua Aoki, who followed Momoka, immediately began to teach Wang Xingjiang a lesson.
After Momoka's face returned to normal and Lihua Aoki was also discouraged, Wang Xingjiang, who was covering his ears, said to Gary, "You can say it now." β
Gary, who was forcibly turned around by his girlfriend, immediately spoke, "Then I'll try to make a long story short." β
"We of the Bearded Clans formed a global unity regime very early on, so we soon began to try to explore the starry sky."
This passage made Momoka completely confused, "What do these mean?" β
What is "global"? How to explore the "starry sky"?
Lika Aoki also showed an expression of incomprehension.
However, Gary did not explain, "These things are actually of little significance, they are just the background of the times in which the problem occurred, and it has no effect if you don't understand them." And you can also consult Xingjiang and him, now that the time is pressing, I won't go into details. β
Wang Xingjiang also nodded, "I'll explain this to you at night, let Gary continue now." β
The two girls put aside these questions for the time being and continued to listen together.
"A huge meteorite hit our home star at this time, and it took about a tenth of the matter from the parent star while deflecting the orbit of our parent star a little, and began to gradually move closer to the star of our galaxy."
This is still an exaggerated disaster, Wang Xingjiang remembers that one of the theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs was a meteorite impact, and that impact killed all the dinosaurs without causing any impact on the earth.
As for this kind of collision that changes the orbits of the planets...... Wang Xingjiang couldn't imagine what it would be, but he could guess some of the effects.
"The biggest problem is the heat, right?"
"That's right."
Seeing that the three girls all showed confused expressions, Gary originally thought that no one could understand the problems of his home planet, but he didn't expect that Wang Xingjiang, who had a reckless face, could actually understand!
That's a lot easier to say.
Gary breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he didn't need to explain it to the girl, and then continued, "In the first few years, the dust blocked all sunlight, there was a great decline in the number of all living things, and the population of our race dropped from three billion to less than ten million. β
"But the bigger problem came after the dust fell, when our ancestors discovered that our home planet had stopped rotating."
Wang Xingjiang was finally stunned at this time, he hadn't thought about what it would be like for the planet to stop rotating, but fortunately, Gary immediately gave an answer.
"The temperature on the side directly exposed to the sun began to rise rapidly, exceeding the tolerance limit of most organisms in a month, and the entire Eastern Hemisphere was deprived of vegetation. The heat also led to rising sea levels and unimaginable storms, and our ancestors, who failed to cope in time, once again experienced huge losses, with the population plummeting to less than one million. β
This explanation was enough for Wang Xingjiang to figure it out, but before he could think about it carefully, Gary got to the point.
"Because the undead are not afraid of temperature and do not need ordinary necessities, the underpopulated ancestors began to study the technology of transforming the undead to explore resources and increase labor."
Indeed, the undead are indeed the best tools of labor, they do not eat, drink, and work hard, and as long as they can endure the unusual appearance, most of the time they are better than slaves.
But they don't need to be conscious of themselves.
Gary saw Wang Xingjiang's suspicions, but he knew that this was normal, because the ancestor also thought the same way at the time, "If there are no other changes, just ordinary undead will be enough to meet the needs, but the ancestor finally found a very serious problem - our home planet is still orbiting." β
What's wrong with the revolution, it won't make any big difference...... No, it's a big problem!
"Because the planet is still orbiting, the heating surface will also move slowly, and the ancestors did not have a way to survive on the heating surface for a long time, so they had to migrate for a long time. As a result, the ancestors at that time could not operate the factory for a long time, and the industrial level could not be restored. β
"The ancestors then began to study how to give the undead a living consciousness, so that they could continue to work in the factory, and the resources could be mined without the need for a human command, so that the living could focus on finding a way to survive and expanding the size of the race."
"These stories should be enough for Xingjiang you understand, I won't go into details about the development later."
"Enough is enough, thank you." , After a general understanding of the cause and effect, Wang Xingjiang did not doubt Gary's behavior, but there were still other questions, "Then what energy do they rely on to act?" β
"At that time, the most abundant energy was solar energy, and the ancestors used the undead to rely on a pattern similar to 'photosynthesis'. So you don't have to worry about these people's food, just let them bask in the sun. β
Only then did Wang Xingjiang remember that these undead were going to work under the sun!
According to the general number of paths in other worlds, the undead are the species that are most afraid of light, and they will even die violently if they are directly exposed to the sun, how can they absorb solar energy like this!
This is also unconventional!
But this technology is good, the transformed undead have their own consciousness, and they are not afraid of sunlight, and they feel similar to the living, and they can save a lot of lives when they are applied!
"Can I learn this spell?"
Hearing Wang Xingjiang's words, Lihua Aoki, who was still in a daze just now, wanted to dissuade him - this kind of spell was obviously a secret that others did not pass on, and it was too much to directly ask for learning.
But Gary immediately replied, "No problem." β
"You don't want to...... You agreed?! β
Wang Xingjiang, who was originally going to move with affection and reason, shouted such a sentence, but Gary nodded very seriously, "That's right, these are just the content of our compulsory education, everyone has to learn, and it is not a confidential content." β
"But I want to remind you that the necromancy I learned is only the most basic one, and its essence is only to replace the way they obtain energy, so it requires that the main functional organs of the recipient must be intact, or at least able to be reconnected, and the time of death must not exceed one day, otherwise it will not take effect. In addition, this spell can only be effective once, and there is no way to die again. β
"Well, it's really not going to be too extensive." , Wang Xingjiang realized the harshness of these conditions, after all, the only death conditions that could meet these conditions were probably massive blood loss and sudden death.
I thought I could save everyone who died along the way, but I was still too naΓ―ve.
"But I still have to learn! Then you're in for trouble. β
In the case of cold weapon fighting, the number of people who died due to heavy bleeding will not be small, and many people can still be saved.
"These are not enough to repay you for saving your lives, so you are welcome."
In Gary's opinion, this kind of spell that elementary school students can use is not worth mentioning at all, so he doesn't want Wang Xingjiang to have a psychological burden because of this.
But Wang Xingjiang didn't think so, "That's not good, you don't care about any life-saving graces, just with this spell, we can clear the two." β
This spell may indeed have little meaning to Gary, but it is a priceless treasure to Wang Xingjiang, who has been in charge of the army for a while. Not only can it save usable combat power, but it can also prevent many families from breaking up and their consciences from being condemned.
Along the way, Wang Xingjiang has seen many tragedies of broken families, but it is difficult for him to recover those people - after all, even if he reforms a family, it may not be able to heal the pain.
Although it may not be so easy to accept, it is at least a way to do it, and it is very valuable to promote.
On the other side, even though Momoka didn't understand all the previous contents, she understood the great value of this spell, so she saluted heavily, "I will engrave a monument to remember the great kindness of Mr. β
Gary hurriedly got up and helped Momoka up, "You don't have to, please get up quickly, it's worth it if you help." β
"Don't be sour, it's getting dark, let's hurry up." , Wang Xingjiang, who couldn't stand it, reminded him, and then turned around and left.
"Are you jealous?" Γ2
"Nope!"
Looking at the two men and a woman who started to fight, Gary immediately sighed, "Messing around with men and women really doesn't end well." β
"So you have that idea too?"
Hearing his girlfriend's gloomy voice, Gary immediately replied, "Of course not!" Lord Matani's example is right in front of me, how dare I! β
"That's good!" Agasha immediately hugged Gary with a smile, "But you really didn't think about it at all?" β
ββ¦β¦ There is no ......"
"You're hesitating!"
"I didn't!"
