Chapter 206: This Is the ...... of the Holy City Project
Guiding civilization to change its thinking, the Holy City Plan was initially finalized.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marine civilization, these four simple words seem to be easy to understand and easy to do, but in practice, there are countless setbacks...... Not only those who try to do so will feel extremely entangled, but even those who are watching from the sidelines will feel entangled.
Xinglan had never seen a civilization developed in the ocean, and she didn't know how such a civilization should develop a technological route, just a process of ignition from raw meat to cooked meat had been directly sentenced to death by environmental problems. Of course, you can also say that since you don't know how to guide, then just let them develop naturally! But the key question is......
Sea giants have been around for many hundreds of millions of years since they appeared, and they have a much longer history than ordinary land civilizations. If it is so pure and natural, Xinglan is very skeptical that it will wait until the land civilizations have begun to roam back and forth in the star system, and the society of the sea giants will still be in the same place in the Stone Age!
Although I know that this is not the sea giant's fault, you guys can give me a little bit of courage!
Hawkers, all in all, Xinglan didn't have the patience to sit back and wait for the sea giants to develop slowly, but planned to use active guidance to promote their development, but how to guide them became a more serious problem, so that she hadn't achieved anything at all so far except for wandering around......
I think I probably understand what you mean...... That's what Wind Passing said, "You don't want the sea giants to continue this sluggish development, but you don't want them to jump too much all at once, do you?" 】
That's right, this is Xinglan's idea, she mainly wants to maintain a situation where the sea civilization and the land civilization develop simultaneously, otherwise either side is too advanced and it will probably lead to a catastrophe between races, unless it is openly and forcefully intervened, Xinglan has no confidence in preventing this large-scale war.
It was for this reason that Xinglan was reluctant to teach a large number of ready-made high-tech technologies directly to the Sea Giant, and she was reluctant to let the race develop too far ahead of its time, just to maintain a balance of power between intelligent races, not to say that over-channeling technology would kill the race's potential.
There is indeed a saying in the rumors of many civilizations that directly teaching advanced technology to low-level intelligent races will kill the potential of the race's development and make their technology tree deformed...... In Xinglan's opinion, this statement is pure nonsense, the reason why the other party can't get rid of this kind of technological control is definitely because the technology taught is inherently incomplete, otherwise if you really teach a technology to a low-tech race completely, there will be no thing that stifles the development potential. Their next generation of children always have to start learning science and technology from a blank slate, learning is not all the same, where to stifle creativity, unless you plan to keep raising this civilization like a pig is likely to make them have overall inertia.
【Quds City Project?】 What do you mean by that? Xinglan chuckled lightly and watched the wind pass away seriously, [Don't tell me that this is planning to make a religious-type holy city to control thoughts, even if you occasionally pretend to be a god and a ghost, you can't be too open. 】
[Of course, it's not that simple. It seemed that he sensed that Xinglan didn't pay too much attention to this topic, and Feng Wei frowned slightly, [In terms of the development and guidance of marine civilization, there doesn't seem to be any good way at present, my suggestion is just ...... It's just a matter of thinking differently. 】
[A different way of thinking? Xinglan repeated, and asked with some curiosity, "How can you change your mind about this kind of thing?" 】
[In fact, you don't need to worry about this problem for so long by yourself, you can brainstorm at all.] Wind Death paused, and then said his thoughts, [What if you teach advanced theoretical knowledge to a group of sea giants alone? Wouldn't it be nice and convenient to set up a place, then gather a group of sea giants, prohibit them from leaking those advanced technologies directly, and then let them study how to guide the sea giants outside? It's better for a large group of people to work together on how to promote technology than to figure it out on your own. 】
[The place where the gods gave knowledge and miracles, so is it simply called the holy city?] Xinglan thought for a while, and found that this statement seemed to be very reasonable, maybe it was really feasible, [If this is the case, this is indeed a place where it can easily develop into a center of thought and culture, and it is well deserved to be called a holy city......]
Feng Shufu laughed, his tone was full of confidence, as if he had never thought that Xinglan would disagree with this proposal: [So, are you interested in this? Do a super-scale experiment to test the idea. 】
[Use the most advanced technology at hand to build a large-scale underwater city, and a small number of sea giants will be added...... The entire initial process could last for hundreds of years, which is indeed a very large-scale experiment. After roughly deducing the situation that might be encountered, Xinglan quickly realized that there would be a large number of problems in this plan, [Even if it is a small group of sea giants, but after all, it is relative to the entire race, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of sea giants to really fill a city, and considering that it is necessary to be able to accept concepts with completely different concepts...... I guess we have to start educating our children, how do you get those sea giants to send their children willingly? I'm not going to sneak around and do the work of a human trafficker......]
Feng Shu stood up straight, raised the slender bone staff in his hand, and his eyes seemed to emit a bright light: [This question, on the contrary, is not too much trouble, have you forgotten the existence of the doctor? With this prestige of the doctor, as long as those children come back to visit their parents regularly, then they can still be recognized by most people. 】
[Is this okay?] Xinglan was a little surprised, she also knew that the doctor had a high reputation among the tribes who had seen him, but how could she make the biological parents willing to leave their children and send them to a place they had never seen before...... That's a bit too high, aren't you? 】
[How do you know some things without trying them?] Wind Passing took a deep breath of seawater and stared into the distance, [Do you know? In fact, the legend of the Physician has been circulating for about thousands of years, and it is only when these tribes scattered throughout the ocean know about it. It's not like they've never been visited by a doctor, as they think, but the last time a doctor came here was ...... It happened more than 200 years ago. 】
【…… Ha? This was really unexpected by Xinglan.
[So those tribes who are well aware of these histories probably have two views on the existence of physicians.] Wind Passing stretched out two fingers and explained seriously, [A small number of people think that the physician may not be an individual existence, but a lineage, of course, they also believe that this is some very kind sea giant, and will never do anything bad. In the eyes of most sea giants, the image of the physician has been deified, and since he is a sage or even a god, there is naturally nothing to doubt about his long-term existence. 】
[In other words, no matter what kind of opinion you have, if you come forward as a doctor, you will get a lot of support.] Xinglan suddenly understood what the wind was trying to express, [You are really well prepared. 】
[If there is only one person, it is not easy to travel to so many places, but the doctor is never alone, and there are already many doctors traveling to various tribes. The wind passed away, but how should the specific holy city be selected and built...... There is also the provision of transportation for those sea giants heading to the Holy City, and so on, and these things can only be left to you completely. 】
Xinglan sighed lightly, and various simulations of the construction process had begun in the signal subnetwork: [This is not a small trouble, if you really want to start construction on such a large scale, you can't completely rely on the Dead to transport it from space, that kind of cost can't be worth it at all...... Maybe it's better for me to simply build the underground of the Holy City into an industrial base on the planet, and if there are ore veins underground, I can even use local materials, so that it will be more convenient when I need it in the future. 】
An undersea city at an altitude of several hundred meters above sea level, with Xinglan's current science and technology, it should still be able to build such a city, not to mention that considering that this city is for sea giants to live in, then it does not need to completely isolate the seawater, which obviously reduces a lot of consumption for the construction project, and the materials do not need to be all too high-end.
Xinglan doesn't have the kind of energy cover technology that can physically drain seawater, and if you want to make a waterless city, you can only make a huge cover with high-strength transparent materials and then drain the seawater, but in that case, the durability of the material and daily maintenance will be a big problem.
[The action of the conveners can be slowed down a little, and there is no need to be too anxious. After some calculations, Xinglan said to Wind Death, [If you want to build this underwater city completely, it will take at least a few decades, and it will really meet the standards of the so-called holy city with the sea giants inside...... I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years, and the first members will have to be selected at least from the next generation. 】
[I know, I will let those sea giants who have received the notice understand the approximate start time, then it will depend on you how the sea giants from all over the world will come.] Feng Shu nodded, indicating that he understood, [At least prepare a means of transportation that can be safely arrived to reassure his parents. 】
[I understand, this will not be a big problem at that time. Xinglan has already invested a large part of the calculation to calculate the construction method of the Holy City, and the first step is to retrieve the map of the entire Lanxing to determine the specific location of the site, [Actually, I am worried about another point now, if the development speed of the sea giant has accelerated a lot all of a sudden, will the land civilization that appears on the Lanxing in the future be able to catch up with them?] 】
However, hearing this, Feng Shui laughed mysteriously, looked up at the invisible signal in the sea above, and said in a mocking tone: [Are you really sure that the land civilization on Lanxing has not yet appeared? 】
[Eh...... Eh, eh! 】
