- Isn't there an upward channel, and a channel to replace knowledge with salary and social status?

Hearing this, Ian was slightly stunned, although he had thought about similar questions before, but because there were so many things to think about, he hadn't thought about it deeply...... But now that I think about it, it is.

The reason why reading in the past life is regarded as a way to change one's fate is because reading can change one's fate, gain the respect of others, obtain relevant job opportunities, and get a salary.

Don't say that reading can be self-sublimating, if reading can't get the actual social status improvement and corresponding returns, then how can we talk about self-sublimation?

After all, people have to live.

And in Terra...... This channel may not have been cut off.

But it was suppressed by the 'sublimators'.

The aristocracy occupies all the knowledge of the technical and sublimators, and even if an ordinary person obtains the relevant technical knowledge, if he does not become a sublimator, he will not be able to go further in the professional level......

And the potions, inheritances, recipes, alchemists' help needed by the sublimator, and the suitability test for the body's bloodline...... These things are difficult for a generation to overcome.

Of course, the upward channel is not completely closed.

If it is a true genius, one generation can become a sublimator, and then gradually accumulate wealth and knowledge, and in a few more generations, it may become an aristocracy.

And for this kind of emerging aristocracy, the traditional aristocracy will not exclude it, because if they can absorb such a genius into their own power system, it will be a greater good thing for them - the position is not yet saturated, the world is still very big, they just don't want to be impacted, and this kind of solo sublimation is a good opportunity to absorb and strengthen themselves.

And some lucky people may be able to pass on the inheritance of the first level steadily, so that there is no problem in being a rich gentry in the local area, and it is extremely stable, as long as there is no war, famine and natural disasters, their status may be more stable than some noble lords.

However, it is still a bit difficult to expect to achieve class leapfrogging by relying solely on knowledge.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are those who think they are incomparably geniuses and can be compared to sublimators with their pure brains and skills. Some of them may be that smart.

But then what?

Not even a sublimator, essentia cannot be controlled, psionic energy cannot be sensed, inscriptions cannot be activated, and experiments cannot be done by hand...... Is this just a genius with a head, and there is a shortage on the continent of Terra?

It's like a sublimator doesn't have a brain and can't do scientific research, so you know research?

What's more, the Terra nations had no shortage of technology - Ian remembered the armor, the cultivators, the fertilizers and herbicides, the weapons of war that he hadn't seen yet, but could guess the strength of them......

Even if Ian really brought over the complete set of data and industrial machine tools of the Earth in his previous life, he felt that he would not be able to catch up with the pre-epoch technology on Terra's side without spending decades farming, not to mention that the current Terra has a group of ridiculously strong sublimators in addition to the pre-epoch technology.

But the question is, if he doesn't become a sublimator, why can he farm steadily for decades in this dangerous world where a second-level demonic beast can destroy a city and destroy a village, and a third-level demonic beast can infest a province?

Just like Ian now, he doesn't think territory is very important.

Because if he is the first level to go to the knight to lead the farming, and plant until he dies, he may not be able to point out the plane, and if a big monster comes at random, he may have to start all over again.

But if it is the second energy level and gets the barony to start planting, Ian feels that he may be able to point out the rocket, at least be more stable, with less trouble, and a swamp crocodile dragon can still drive away the giant eel, just like Viscount Grant, who can drive Harrison Port to a stable and good place.

But if it is the third energy level, if the sublimator inherits it appropriately, I am afraid that the aero engine can be rubbed out by hand rubbing.

The starting level is not the same at all.

The king of the mountains of the Bison Mountains, Theo's mother, the fourth-level true dragon, can fly in the atmosphere at twenty times the normal speed of sound, if he really wants to destroy a small country, he doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to lower the flight altitude a little, restrain a little bit of the power that usually suppresses the impact of his flight, and then spend an hour and a half around the country.

His flight speed makes even all missiles and artillery shells meaningless, and his body and structure, which can withstand the impact of high-speed movement, can only be broken by a super-large yield hydrogen bomb at close range...... Not even necessarily.

This kind of damage caused by the simple power of the bricks and bricks allows the real dragon to negotiate with one country on an equal footing - in fact, any strong person who does not have his own power can negotiate with one country as one.

Ian remembered the Dawning City that Master Goser had told him.

The fourth-level monster that destroyed it, the body of the Ariano hundred-armed giant vine was the size of a city, and this titan creature would really be afraid of hydrogen bombs? The energy in their bodies may exceed 100 million tons of equivalent TNT, and the heat and shock waves of hundreds of millions of degrees and billions of degrees are just a few hundred million degrees, and the biological position may be able to protect all the key organs.

As for radiation...... Hey, the hives of the second energy level can drink the radiation as water and turn it into an energy source, while the higher hives may have a biological nuclear furnace as their own energy source.

Ian estimated that the first level sublimator would not be too afraid of high-dose radiation exposure, and as long as he did not die on the spot, he would definitely be able to save him later.

For these, there is a great chance that they are modified creatures left on Terra by alien civilizations that can cross the starry sky, or even the aliens themselves...... Thermonuclear weapons are inefficient weapons that really bully and bully wild beasts and godless natives.

Not to mention even more outrageous, even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, even mantle lava columns can be suppressed, and fifth-level creatures like the Flower of Karin...... The 'king', who can't take place on the planet in these battles, is simply a humanoid space battleship, just tied to Terra.

"There are only sublimators."

Sitting in a chair in his lab, Ian looked around at the large lab building that he would never have gotten if he had stayed in Port Harrison.

He said softly: "Ordinary knowledge is meaningless, there is no shortage of ordinary technical talents in this world, everyone understands those things, and the important thing is to have the strength to ensure that it can be built and developed." ”

"Only the enhancement of the essence of life, the strength and security brought by the sublimator, can make all knowledge meaningful."

"Not bad. Ian, you're really nice. ”

Mikael applauded sincerely, and the second prince nodded: "So that universal education was actually quite a failure, the popularized people didn't want those cultures at all, they longed for something more urgent, such as how to farm better, raise pigs scientifically, and how to feed chickens, cattle and sheep a little fatter." ”

"So, my father has actually been trying to popularize these little things all these years...... Ian, you must have seen it over there, right? A pamphlet that popularizes farming techniques. ”

"I've seen it." Ian recalled, and he nodded: "The Handbook for Common Poultry, the Postpartum Care for Sows, and the Handbook for High-Quality Meat Deer in Woodlands...... Even the natives are watching. ”

"This is the popularization of the special target after learning the lesson of my grandfather, even the natives have to learn, and they will become part of the empire." Mikael nodded slightly: "If you want to understand books and understand these key knowledge, you need to learn to read, which is a hard condition." ”

"After that, there is a foundation."

Ian ...... In fact, all Terrans are very smart, even ordinary people who are not nobles are very shrewd. Because of this, it does not take two generations to imperceptibly eradicate illiteracy, which is the legacy left to us by the civilization of the previous era. ”

At this moment, Ian's brow furrowed.

"Your Highness," he looked at the second prince in front of him seriously, almost asking, "Why do you know this?" ”
