Chapter 213: Humans and the Dead
When it comes to the freshness and vitality of the bodies of Zhu Henghong and other Boghall corpse witch soldiers, there will also be a lot to say here.
Regarding the freshness and activity of the body of the deceased, this is also to be divided into many situations: like the case of the Lich Mage and the Corpse Witch Technician, the soul fire that has awakened from the state of the soul of extinction is carried in a body that is not their original body, the latter is not the original and not to mention, and it is often pulled back from the grave and the battlefield The corpse that has been dead for a long time or has been dead for a while, basically the activity in the body has already disappeared cleanly, even if there is a supplemental transformation and recovery of the activation liquid and muscle rejuvenation technique, it is far from being as vigorous as when you were alive or just deadAs a result, the bodies of the lich mages and corpse witch technicians can only be said to look like living people, but their physiology and metabolism are basically in a stage of complete stagnation, and from a biological point of view, they are still dead things.
But if it were the case of the Knights of the Guard, it would be completely different: the Knights of the Guard, led by Yarman, were all Teutonic chivalrous knights, and they were reincarnated as Black Knights while they were still alive, so their bodies remained intact and active from beginning to end, even more so than when they were alive. The bodies of these Guard Knights still maintain normal physiology, but their metabolism is much faster than that of normal humans, which results in them needing more food than they would if they were alive, and having a much faster healing rate if their bodies are injured.
However, both cases have one thing in common, that is, even if they are close to the state of a living person or remain in the same body as when they were alive, they are completely infertile and incapacitated: in other words, regardless of the form of rebirth, they are equivalent to a sterilization operation on the foot incidentally, which is equivalent to a permanent and irreversible sterilization of all of them.
This is also one of the many precautions that Yarman and other guards knights told the Boghall corpse witch soldiers led by Zhu Henghong. Although this is insignificant compared to the other necromancers, it has caused an uproar and commotion among all the newborn necromancers.
The vast majority of Germanic soldiers recruited from the Teutonic camp were bachelors or young people who had partners but had not yet started a family, and the proportion of those who already had wives and children was quite low. plus Zhu Henghong, who is a single dog.
Fortunately, however, the question of the Boghall corpse warriors was quickly answered: the loss of fertility did not mean that they could not do that, it just that they could not raise their offspring through normal means. Although this result also made the Boghall corpse witch soldiers quite angry, it was much better than the situation where they thought that they would directly become eunuchs and say goodbye to the opposite sex forever, and besides, Yarman also specially invited Feng Longde, the immortal king, to come over, and the latter told them that his sister, the Nether Demon Queen Caroline, was tackling the technical problem equivalent to cloning human bodies, and their bodies were still alive and active anyway, and when the relevant technology was successfully developed, they only needed to extract their blood to extract genes。 Whether it's nurturing offspring through in vitro fertilization or transferring one's soul to a new, living human body, they can regain their fertility.
This is also the most difficult problem for Feng Longde and Caroline to solve at present, there is no one: in a sense, this is equivalent to combining the advantages of the deceased who are immortal but remain alive and not a living body and the ordinary human who can't get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death but have a surging vitality body, when the immortal soul can perfectly carry the living body of the living race, and can naturally produce offspring like the living race, and can be immortal like the deceased Feng Longde can foresee that if Caroline can really do this, then it can be said to be a shot in the arm for the revival of the Teutonic Empire。
Among the currently known intelligent lifeforms. Humans are blessed, even the most fragile of individuals. Basically, they are self-conscious, and their intelligence is also very high; human beings can be sexually mature and can give birth to the next generation when they are in their teens, and the pregnancy period is only about one year, and the birth success rate is more than 90 percent, although most human beings live less than 100 years. But before one generation of human beings dies of old age, they are enough to give birth to five or six generations.
If it were true, the rate of reproduction of human beings is insignificant compared to that of insects, microorganisms, plants, and even a considerable number of animals, but human beings are the most creative intelligent race of intelligent life known to date, and their short and fragile life makes them devote their limited life to exploration and struggle, perhaps in the eyes of other intelligent life. The desperate fights and intrigues between human beings are as ridiculous and useless as the awkwardness between children, but it is precisely because of this kind of frequent and seemingly extremely internal internal wars that in the current known history, the human beings in this civilization have only taken less than 6,000 years from the beginning of learning to build the most rudimentary cities and writings to now dominate the entire distant plane (earth) and gradually have the strength and ambition to explore and advance to the endless void (outer space)! What is the concept of 6,000 years? Compared to the nearly 2 million years of apes, which humans simply polished stone tools to hunt and gather fruit, the long history is as short as the blink of an eye. But in these short 6,000 years, humans have done just that, thanks to their inexhaustible creativity and insatiable curiosity.
Compared to humans, the deceased are not only the undead, In addition to the three innate intelligent branches of the Lich and the Black Knight, as well as the deceased who have been reincarnated by advanced methods such as sacrifice to the deceased, the largest number of skeletons and corpses are generally devoid of self-will and intelligence, even if they have self-will, the intelligence level of the steel skeleton and the steel skin corpse witch is not as good as that of a five- or six-year-old child, and it is basically a mentally retarded level; , and a large number of low-level undead creatures with no self-awareness and intelligence can be used as a solid foundation through continuous rebirth and expansion. It can be said that in addition to the human race, which is blessed with life. The potential of the deceased is almost not inferior to the former, but compared to the former, where almost everyone can think independently, the individuals with self-will and wisdom in the deceased are crushed to death by the huge base of massive low-level undead creatures, so they are slightly inferior.
However, it is not the individual that is really terrible about human beings, but civilization, discipline, the ability to reproduce and the ability to create.
Take, for example, the modern humans in this civilization. They can use guns, armor, and combat skills to arm a fragile human who is not much stronger than the Phloem Necro into a formidable entity, and then use discipline and order to unite these individuals into a single entity: since modern times, especially since the invention and mass use of breech guns and machine guns, human armies have been able to deliver headache firepower to their enemies at will.
If it is a non-human life race such as a youkai, it usually takes an extremely long growth time to fully mature to reach such a powerful level: take Wenwen, an unscrupulous tengu reporter known for her unique ability to manipulate the wind, for example, she has lived for more than a thousand years when she reaches the current level of strength, but ordinary and fragile humans only need a century to renew five generations of people, and a hundred years is just a small scene in the entire life journey of a youkai。 But for humanity, this long period of time is enough for the entire civilization to have one or two major breakthroughs in science and technology.
More than ten years can be fully developed in all aspects and receive a complete system of comprehensive education, and thirty or forty years old is the peak of human individual strength, coupled with the high-speed and efficient reproduction speed and inheritance speed, this is the most terrifying place for human beings as an intelligent race.
For the first time, Von Longde sincerely admired his sister: if Caroline really succeeded in figuring out the plan she was studying, it would be equivalent to merging the two life-and-death races of humans and the deceased, and the new humans or new deceased who reunited into one race would inherit the advantages of both and magnify them infinitely, and then the castle of the Teutonic Empire, which needed to be restarted, would have laid a solid foundation when it began to be rebuilt.
It doesn't matter if it's a human being or a deceased. Or other races that will have it in the future will usher in a better future.
But before that. What Feng Longde needs to do is to steadily restore his strength step by step, first from transforming the Teutonic camp from a large-scale settlement camp into a fortress and city with a complete self-sufficiency capacity and production system, during the period, through a high degree of bilateral cooperation with the descendants of the last troops of the German Third Reich on the side of Adolf, to absorb modern technology and draw technical skills and military resources from it, and finally ensure that he and others have the power and strength that other monster forces and individuals in Gensokyo cannot be underestimated, and then think about how to find a way to enter the inner world or other planes。
Some people may wonder. Now that they have all come to Gensokyo, and at the same time they are preparing to take root, then why do they still want to go to other planes or inner worlds? You must know that this kind of thing similar to traveling to other worlds is not as simple as described in the novels and movies, even if Caroline found Gensokyo by mistake in order to find the entrance to the inner world, it is all based on a long period of unremitting exploration and her own extremely rich knowledge. Naturally, if you want to find and enter the inner world or other planes, the difficulty will only be high, not low.
The reason is simple: Gensokyo is too small, and there is not much room for growth.
If it is true, it is actually not small: you must know that at the beginning, with the bribe of a whole kilogram of gold bricks, the area of the vacant land that Lingmeng casually gave to Feng Longde and others was enough to build a city or fortress for more than 100,000 residents to live and work! This is only a small piece of land, and there are many such ownerless places in Gensokyo, and what Feng Longde and others got was only a small part of it, but because this kind of ownerless open space was often distributed all over Gensokyo, and it was not connected to each other, so Feng Longde and others could not extend their construction to other ownerless open spaces.
But Feng Longde and Caroline know very well that Gensokyo may be very large in area, and this still does not count the old capital, the underworld, The underworld and the heavenly realm, which are independent areas connected to Gensokyo itself, are concerned, but Gensokyo itself is crowded with a lot of supernatural creatures, plus the need to isolate from the world, so Gensokyo can't help but say small: the monsters and goblins who have lived here for some years are not to mention Gensokyo, basically like the old underworld or something, and the places connected with Gensokyo have also wandered around, like these supernatural girls who can live for hundreds of thousands of years at every turn, and they are still staying in this closed environment, no matter how big the place is, it's only a matter of time。
These are not the main problems, the main problem is that the vast majority of Gensokkyo is basically owner-owned, and there are very few vacant land that can be used without an owner and it is very scattered.
Clash with other monster forces?Or even directly rob and loot them? Feng Longde was sure that maybe if it was just a fight between the two sides, people like Yakumo Zi and Reimu should not care much, but once he really dared to do some annexation trick, he would be besieged by a certain gap monster or a certain red and white witch sect in a few minutes.
Therefore, Feng Longde knew very well that if the development of Teutonic was to a certain extent, it would have to have a large space that was absolutely his own, rather than being stationed in Gensokyo like a tenant and suffering from many restrictions, so he gave Caroline the most timely support for any research, and granted her the greatest authority in related aspects.
Maybe this period of gradual development is very long, maybe he and his subordinates are very likely to have a conflict with other Gensokyo forces or even a large-scale battle, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that there will be a day when he will fight against the super powerful girls such as Yakumo Zi and Reimu, but Feng Longde knows that when he and his subordinates start from the day they strayed into Gensokyo, all this will be faced sooner or later.
What Feng Longde has to do is to fulfill his responsibilities as an immortal king, and lead his subordinates to move slowly but steadily towards a common goal. (To be continued.) )
