Section 7 History
During lunch, Iron Slag asks if the temple has a way to improve the insects and traditional evolutionaries. Instead of answering his question, Kozan gave a look at the origins of the various evolutionaries and some of their past histories.
According to ancient records, in the hundreds of years after the ancient nuclear war, human beings gradually began to evolve in order to resist the effects of radiation on the body......
After a long period of time, the evolution of human beings has given rise to two branches, which are psionic evolution and physical evolution.
The first to emerge were the traditional evolutionaries, who were once classified as physical evolutionaries, but later after research by scientists, it was discovered that the secret of the body enhancement of the traditional evolutionaries came from some kind of biological energy. This bio-energy, which was later collectively referred to as "psionic energy", is a form of energy that is more advanced than electrical and thermal energy.
As such, the traditional Evolver can be the primary form of the Psionic Being, which the Temple and Notre Dame refer to as the Psionic Warrior. Psionic warriors can naturally absorb the spiritual energy that is free in the world and store it in the body, so as to enhance the body. But they can't perceive the existence of spiritual energy, so they can't cultivate the "secret canon".
The full name of psionics is psionic perception evolutionaries, and compared to traditional evolutionaries, they are complete psionic evolutionary forms. Their nerve endings can sense the existence of psionic energy, and then control the flow of psionic energy. Low-level psionics need mediums, such as psionic weapons, psionic power armor.
However, when the density of psionic energy in the psyker's body and the ability to control the psionic energy reach a certain level, the psionic can disperse the psionic energy in the body or concentrate it in a certain part of the body, or radiate directly out of the body. At this time, even without a medium, the psionics still have strong combat power. By dispersing their spiritual energy throughout the body, they can improve the overall quality of the body; By concentrating psionic energy in one area, you can maximize the output of power; Radiate psionic energy out of your body to attack from the air.
Therefore, the high-level psionic warriors have comprehensively surpassed the high-level psionic warriors. However, at the lower ranks, psionic warriors also have their advantages. Normally, the main way to evaluate a psyker's rank is to measure his three basic abilities. These three abilities are absorption, control, and spiritual power.
"Absorption power" represents the speed at which psionic energy is collected in the air, "control power" represents proficiency and talent in manipulating psionic energy, and "spiritual power" represents the strength of psionic energy contained in the body.
Psionic warriors are naturally stronger absorbent than low-level psionic warriors. Therefore, a low-level psionic is not an opponent of a psionic warrior at all if he does not use a psionic medium (psionic equipment).
In general, both traditional evolutionaries and psionics are a type of class that evolved by absorbing psionic energy from the air.
Worms are another branch of human evolution, and most scientists agree that wormification is an atavistic phenomenon.
After the ancient nuclear war, the ground was flooded with a large amount of radiation. These radiations will constantly destroy the epidermal cells of the human body, so that a large area of the skin will be shed. And the insects are created to adapt to this environment. Most insects possess supernatural regenerative abilities, they can survive in environments of intense radiation, and the skin that has fallen off can grow back again.
The first place where the insects appeared was the southern continent, the epicenter of ancient nuclear warfare.
The southern continent, also known as the "Graveyard of the Forsaken", is a scorched earth with no vegetation or animals under the influence of strong radiation. However, there are many insects living there. Their food sources were all airdrops from the Temple and the Silver City. Every once in a while, Silver City's flying machines would fly in droves over the southern continent, dropping tens of thousands of supplies for the insects there to survive.
"Why would the temple help the insects there? Isn't their doctrine to purge the worms? Iron Slag asked.
"Their ultimate goal is to protect the interests of the psykers, not just to purge them." After answering, Kozan continued to explain.
The Templars regard the Worms as heretics and will be burned if caught, but this is limited to the Templar's diocese. The ultimate purpose of the temple is to drive the insectized to places where ordinary people and psionics cannot survive. For example, the Southern Continent, the Far Eastern Continent, or some marginal areas with harsh living environments (Luoyan Town, Black Sea, Iceland, etc.).
To explain this qiē, it is necessary to start from the space-time rift in the Central Continent......
A hundred years after the ancient nuclear war, part of the space of the Central Continent was distorted, and a space-time rift gradually formed. In the beginning, there were only one or two cracks, but as time went on, there were more and more cracks.
These temporal rifts connect different planes, one of which is called the "Flame Gobi", and a large number of otherworldly creatures have spewed out. These creatures are tall and strong, covered in sturdy scales. They swallowed blazing flames that swept across the Central Continent like locusts.
In the face of the invasion of the alien plane, humanity has fought a protracted war. In the end, with the joint efforts of the allied forces of the continents, as well as the Temple, Notre Dame, and the Temple, the otherworldly creatures were finally repelled. and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to seal that space-time rift.
Since the space-time rift is bidirectional, humanity has also begun to invade the heterotopic plane. Since then, the Central Continent has been invaded and invaded.
Two hundred years ago, several fissures from the same plane suddenly appeared in the Middle Continent. It was an indescribably beautiful world, and it was named "Qiman's Dreamland". There is no land, only the boundless ocean, and huge rocks floating in the air. Those stones are covered with thousand-year-old vines, trees and flowers, like beautiful hanging gardens.
However, it is a pity that the air in Qiman's dream realm contains an unknown toxin, and humans cannot survive in it, so they can only wear oxygen masks to move. However, for thousands of years, human beings have longed for the sky, for the freedom of birds, and for the palaces of the gods.
As a result, humans began to collect a large number of floating stones, planning to build cities in the sky.
At this time, a new contradiction arises. With the current civilization of mankind, only some people can live in the heavens, while most people still have to stay on the earth. Plantations, farms, factories, all of these need to be managed by humans.
At that time, psionic power armor had already been mass-produced, and psionic people were gradually rising. For the next thirty years, the psionics spontaneously lived in separate lands from other humans, and trumpeted the nobility of the psionic bloodline. Gradually, the gap between human beings is growing.
Especially between psionics and insects, the contradiction is becoming more and more intense. They are both evolutionaries, but one side preaches that the other is a false being.
However, due to the existence of psionic power armor, as well as the relatively stable evolution of psionic beings, which are easy to inherit and master, coupled with the full support of the Sanctuary and Notre Dame, the power of psionics is increasing. In order to avoid misunderstanding and discrimination, many insects have gradually faded out of people's eyes and hidden.
By DR58, the Psionics had formed the World Conference and the Psionic Alliance, heralding the dawn of the time of the Psykers.
The following year, DR59, the Psionic Alliance reached an agreement with the Templars, and at the World Conference, a series of acts to expel the Worms from the southern continent were passed, such as the famous "Human Blood Continuation Act", "Silver City Residence Act", and "Insect Residence Act".
The temple is adamantly opposed, believing that the worms are an inseparable part of humanity and enjoy the glory of ancestors in the genetic chain.
However, the temple is too weak to prevent all kinds of acts that discriminate against the insectivized and separate ordinary human beings.
Thus, the war for dignity and rights has begun.
Notre Dame is neutral, the Temple supports the Psionics Alliance, and the Temple supports the Worms and the Common Humans. However, the war was one-sided from the start.
Only a small fraction of the ordinary human race was involved in the war, either the Templars and Notre Dame, or the populace ruled by the Psionic Alliance, and most did not even know the true cause of the war.
The insects have no organization in the first place, and there is still a contradiction between individuals and individuals who plunder each other. Only the temple had a regular army, and the glorious Holy Wolf Heavy Guards became the core force of the war. However, the number of psionics is too large to be handled by these tens of thousands of people.
After some time at war, the Ancient Prophet proposed a truce, and then signed an armistice with the Temple brokered by Notre-Dame. However, the Great Prophet of Glory stubbornly continued to fight. Eventually, the temple split, and the Ancient Great Prophet abandoned the parish of the Northern Wilderness and returned to the Far East with his followers, never again participating in the strife of the world.
The war lasted for more than a year, until DR51, the final battle began, the Glorious Great Prophet fell, and the Holy Wolf Heavy Armor Guard Regiment was wiped out......
In the decade that followed, silver cities sprung up to create the world it is today.
According to the statistics of the World Council last year, there are currently 5.1% of psykers or humans with psyker blood, .6% of insects, 0.0% of traditional evolutionaries and hundreds of source force perceivers in the world, while the remaining 9.59% are all ordinary humans.
Today, more than ninety percent of those who are insected live on the southern continent. The temple and the silver city have been controlling the number of insects, and their method of controlling them is very simple and rude, that is, the amount of materials put into the guò to decide how many insects to feed.
Their ultimate goal is for the Worms to protect the land. Because in the space-time rift of the Central Continent, some heterotopic creatures often run out. If they are allowed to reproduce, they will have an immeasurable impact on all mankind, and the "stinging bug plague" many years ago is the most typical case.
In the eyes of the Sanctuary and Silver City, it was better for these areas to be controlled by insects than to be controlled by creatures from different planes. At the very least, the insects are still intelligent creatures, former human beings......
