Chapter 102: Trying to Catch the Past
"Buzz", another noisy chatter.
On the question of faith, the two captains of the Jackdaw had already informed the captains of the general situation when they called the meeting, so everyone was somewhat prepared for this, knowing that Shul would definitely bring it up at the meeting.
However, the captains had a very negative attitude towards this proposal, not because they were not interested in the benefits promised by Shul, in fact, the promises given by Shul and the prospects depicted were exactly what the Brown Star Civilization really needed, and each of them was justified and hit the sore spot of the Brown Star Civilization in the past.
However, the biggest problem with these promises is that they are too far away, the Brown Star civilization has now come to an end, the Great Rift is expanding faster and faster, and the technological replacement of deep space navigation is about to be unable to keep up with the growth of the rift expansion rate, and maybe when, the fleet will be swallowed up by the rift that follows it like a shadow. Talking to them about rebuilding civilization at this time is indeed beautiful and exciting, but it is a bit unrealistic.
If the Brown Star civilization is still in a normal period now, and the person at the helm is a true civilization leader, then a leader with outstanding vision and courage is likely to be tempted by Shuer's promise, after all, the development of civilization must not only look at the present, but also consider the long-term is also very important. However, these captains of the current Brown Star Fleet are not professional leaders, they are just a group of ordinary people who are really thinking about civilization selected from among the passengers, maybe their will and wisdom are outstanding enough, but they have no experience and vision as leaders, and in a closed environment, maybe only a few months or even years to exchange a few words with the captains of other fleets, it is really difficult for them to truly understand this long-term benefit.
Early yesterday morning, Shul didn't notice this problem when he was negotiating with the two old men, but after a day of repeated deduction, he had found himself in a misunderstanding, that is, for these captains, promising long-term benefits is far more direct than just letting them see the immediate gains and losses, and further, there are actually more effective ways than using the temptation of small profits in front of them, such as ......
"Mr. Shull, we don't quite understand what you mean. Shur ignored the following discussions, but just stood on the command platform with his head bowed, with a pious and holy smile on his face, and his fingers kept drawing circles on his chest, and the following discussion continued for a long time, and the captain who asked the question at first spoke again and asked loudly, "Can you explain this in detail?"
"Praise the Holy Spirit. Drawing a circle on his chest for the last time, Shur raised his head and said gently, "Even if you explain it in detail, you really can't understand it, you don't even understand the basic knowledge of what the gods are and the connection between the power of faith and the gods, how can you understand our methods? All our efforts are based on the power of faith and the power of the divine, so ......"
"We can try to understand as much as we can. The questioner interrupted Shuer, very rude, but Shuer not only did not get angry, but the smile in his heart became stronger, "Although we don't understand what you said yet, everything has a beginning, you might as well try to make us understand, and we are indeed looking forward to understanding your efforts." β
"Oh, it's too profound, not to mention you, even our mortals of Parvatiga, like my teammates who live and die. Shure pointed to his teammates in the corner of the podium, and the shadow-chasers who acted as examples stood in a row, each with a blank face, as for what they imagined Shure to be beaten into miserable appearance, it was unknown, "Even they have a hard time understanding, and only a professional priest like me can accurately understand the efforts of the Holy Spirit." β
"For example, you will certainly not understand the importance of using the power of faith from various worlds to build a faith interaction network within the Great Rift, and you will not understand how to use the faith interaction network to allow the two worlds to communicate with each other and deliver necessary materials to each other, and you will not understand how the gods can use the faith interaction network to cross the Great Rift's damnation, directly and undiminished in the other world to show their full power, and even through the faith interaction network, the doppelganger and projection directly descend to the other world, and contend with the Great Rift head-on, as for how the divine power can fight against the negative energy inside the rift, there is no need to mentionγ Shure paced slowly on the podium with his hands behind his back, and suddenly smiled and said, "I'll show you a video." β
"Yes, sir. Shuer didn't give an order, but Wei had already slammed her heel and saluted, and then turned her head to face Shuer's back, and a light shot out of her right eye, forming a huge light curtain behind Shuer, and on the light curtain, there was a scene being staged.
In the empty universe, a crack stretching for thousands of kilometers lies across the void, the inside of the crack is dark and deep, full of danger and mystery, not far from it, a dark red planet is blocking the crack, the planet is slowly rotating, but it has never changed its position. It can be seen that the edge of the crack is constantly shaking, constantly trying to expand in all directions, but it is immediately pressed back to its original position, and as for the black shadow and black mist that erupts from the crack, as soon as it leaves the mouth of the rift, it turns into nothingness under the dark red faint light.
"This is the field footage from our planet Pavatiga a month ago, you can take a look, how it is, the effect is good. "It's definitely good, Wei and I just made it last night, using the most advanced video technology from another world, with the technical guidance of professional clergy, edited by the most powerful artificial intelligence, the effect is definitely perfect, who dares to say that it's not good, I'll go down and kill whom." Crazy nonsense in his head, Xiu'er still maintained a serious appearance, "What is this spatial rift, I don't need to explain it, I think, you must have seen the video records left in your world, and saw the original appearance of the big rift." β
As soon as the discussion ended, the captains nodded their heads, although there was a slight difference in image, but it was extremely similar, and it couldn't be wrong, this must be the source of the disaster.
Well, of course, the template for the influence of this rift is based on the thing chasing behind it, and its image is slightly modified, so that if you can't be sure that it is the source of the disaster in your mouth, then you really have to doubt your intelligence.
"Yes, this is the Great Void Rift, or the Source of Calamity. Shure turned back to the image on the light screen, bowed deeply to the dark red planet, his lips squirmed rapidly, and whispered a prayer that no one understood, and only after the prayer was over, did Shul turn around, stretch out his palm towards the dark red planet, and said to the captains, "This is the essence of my lord." β
Eh, your god is a ball.
Of course, the captains couldn't be so rude and dare to do this, and the volume could be kept just enough that only the shadow chasers could hear, and there was only a certain forest spirit, but unfortunately, Shuer couldn't go over and knock her now, so he could only glare at her viciously and set the recipe for tonight in advance.
"Why, why ......," the person who asked the question looked surprised, "and it wasn't swallowed up by the source of disaster." β
"Look, that's why I said you don't understand. Shur smiled and said, "My lord has suppressed the great rift of Parvatiga for thousands of years with his body, relying on the support of the power of the divine and the power of faith, oh, the power of the gods, which is beyond the comprehension of mortals. β
"Goo-dong", the captain who asked the question fell back into his chair, they had seen too many scenes of the planet being swallowed by the Great Rift on the way to escape, and it was the first time they had seen the scene of the Great Rift being countered...... Ahem, the goddess of the Dark Moon.
"We have now begun to set up a network of faith channels inside the rift, and the method is actually quite simple. Shur put his hands behind his back and explained softly, "In a world without gods, it will be relatively simple, directly develop a group of believers, and let the power of faith cross the great chasm to form a passage under the protection of our lord's divine power." In a world where there are gods, we will reach an agreement with the local gods to exchange a group of believers to exchange beliefs, so as to form a two-way faith channel. Oh, just like Vivi's world, we visited the oldest creator in the void outside of their knowledge, and reached a consensus on the exchange of faith. β
Wei stood straight and didn't say a word, as if she had acquiesced to the chief's words, well, artificial intelligence can't lie, but you can pretend not to hear.
"Relying on this method, we have concentrated the power of the gods of several worlds (well, two, a lot, Lin Jingyu) to communicate and support each other, and this channel network is our base against the Great Rift, ready to look for opportunities to launch a counterattack. Shure's face was calm, as if he was stating a fact, "Once we find an opportunity and successfully counter the Great Rift, your crisis will be over, so I ask Captain Ryan to tell you, don't give up hope, just be a good bystander, just wait patiently." β
"We really can't understand, or even understand, why a planet can confront the source of the calamity head-on. The captain who had asked the first question stood up again and asked, "But we want to know how sure you are that you will be able to successfully counter the Great Rift?"
"Sure, no kidding, not even one in a thousand. Xiuer smiled helplessly, "We can only say that we do our best, in the face of this kind of thing, who dares to say that we are sure?"
"It's difficult?"
"Of course. Shuer sighed, "In the Twisted Void, there are not many civilizations that have not been destroyed by the Great Rift, so there are very few nodes that can set up a faith network channel, plus if you want to improve this network, the power of the gods will be consumed hugely, and if you can't get enough faith power to replenish it, the Holy Spirits will only get weaker and weaker." β
"But don't worry, the passage of your world can definitely be established, I have discussed with the acting captain of the Jackdaw, only need to select a part of the passengers on the Jackdaw, implant the dream of faith, you can ensure the establishment of the passage of faith, you don't need to be embarrassed. As for the huge amount of divine power that the Holy Spirit has lost as a result, you don't have to worry, we will find other ways to make up for it, so I say that you can just be patient. β
"No, let's join. β
Oh, for such a group of people, it is more effective than inducement.
