Chapter XXXIII Chronology and Term of Office
Bladefang rolled his eyes, ignoring the witch doctor's unintentional, but not-so-funny teasing.
He turned to Miya and asked,
"Since you've been mindful of this, have you ever thought about how to deal with it? Can you tell us about it? ”
"Okay, I did think about it......"
With Mia's narration, everyone roughly understood her thoughts.
In short, Meiya discovers and summarizes some cyclical laws that are hidden in nature.
For example, in the group of monsters named "Wind Wolf" by the tribe, the female beast will be in estrus for a certain period of time, if the cubs die or are stolen after mating, gestation, and birth, the mother beast will not immediately estrus, but will wait for a period of time to come into heat again with other members of the same kind.
After occasionally noticing this phenomenon, Meiya came to the conclusion that 'the estrus of the wind wolf is cyclical' through deeper observation.
"I found that the estrus period of the female wind wolf is about 430 days to 500 days, and each estrus will last about 13-21 days;"
"Also, when I discovered this pattern, I realized that there might be more of these patterns hidden around me."
"Sure enough, I made a new discovery after that."
"First of all, the 'pregnancy' of female trolls is basically the same;"
"Secondly, although we don't have the concept of 'estrus', every once in a while, women will experience a time when their desires are high, and after comparing different samples, I found that women who mate at this time are more likely to get pregnant."
"That's why I call it the 'fertile period.'"
"Different from the unified estrus of animal groups in nature, although there is no uniformity in the 'fertile period' of troll women, there is also a clear periodicity."
"Individuals who are physically healthy and fully developed usually usher in their own 'fertile period' in a cycle of about 40 days."
"From the point of view of relevance, I think that for the tribe, the 'fertile period' is more meaningful than the estrus duration of the wind wolf, and may be used as a level of time period unit;"
"In the end, I don't know why, but almost all naturally growing trees have almost the same cycle of chakra formation."
"After cutting off the trunk of the tree, recording the chakras, and then using a spell to connect the trees, I repeated this observation process several times, and found that almost all the samples, and it took about 480 days to form new chakras."
"The estrus interval of Warcraft will vary greatly depending on the species; But the chakras of the trees are different, and it is almost the same. ”
"Therefore, I think that the 'chakra growth cycle' is equally suitable as a level in the measurement of time."
"Meiya Witch Doctor, your research is valuable, but you still have to pay attention to safety and run alone to observe the wind wolf pack.... The tribe could easily afford to lose this in case. ”
Wind wolves are not something to be close to trolls, and there is a high risk of observing them up close and for long periods of time, not to mention the high-risk behavior of 'stealing cubs'.
Bladefang was pleased with the tribe's witch doctor's spirit of exploration, but he was also secretly vigilant.
Do these witch doctors really understand their own value? ’
However, after trying to persuade a few words, he also began to discuss with the witch doctors how to integrate Meiya's research conclusions into the current timekeeping system.
However, this pair of blades is not such a complicated thing, 'year', 'month', 'day', these concepts that existed in the previous life are not ready-made reference materials?
Therefore, he did not overcomplicate the matter, and in the spirit of 'take-it-or-leave-it', he tossed out a set of chronological methods by dividing five by two.
"40 days is a month; 12 months and 480 days are one year, and 20 years, 240 months and 9600 days are a prime ring; That is, the troll growth period lasts 20 years, the prime of life lasts 240-280 years, and the old age period is 30-50 years .... The theoretical life span is 290-350 years....."
"If you do the math, our lives are quite long.... I'll do the math.... Blade Tooth You have just entered the prime of life, about 30? Meiya's little girl should be less than 20 ..... It's a lot more convenient. ”
"By the way, Rough Tooth and I are probably still in the prime of life... Rough teeth, how much bigger are you than me, remember? ”
"I want to think about it... I'm probably 80 years older than you, right? I'm already at the end of my prime, in the middle, and I've just stepped in.... In the past, it would take 7 or 80 years to come out with a witch doctor, but it's good to look at today. ”
"Okay, don't be emotional, the two witch doctors, there are still councillors and the term of office to consider."
After a period of not intense discussion, the trolls also set a rough idea of the various terms of office,
"The term of office of the members of the House of Representatives shall be set at 10 years, with half rotation every five years, and the term of office shall be unlimited but not more than five times in a lifetime; The term of office of the members of the Rune House is set at 30 years, and half of them are re-elected every 15 years, and the term of office is not limited, but not more than three times in their lifetime; The term of office of the Chief Consul is 20 years, limited to three consecutive terms, and the total term of office is six times....... If you don't have an opinion, then let's do it first? (Anti-dissuasion addendum: The failure of the House of Representatives plan, the abortion of the rune parliamentary term system; Since the power is in the hands of the witch doctor, the word 'chief' in the chief government is slowly not mentioned anymore, and it has become one of the ordinary governments, and the government structure will change after more than 100 chapters. )
"Let's do it first, it's hard to say what the future will be, this thing will definitely have to be adjusted in the future." Fangs waved his hand indifferently, "Next, it's how to communicate with our chief.... I'm embarrassed to think about it..."
"Hmph, I'm sorry, just throw all the trolls down, and we, the witch doctors and apprentices, have set these rules... Is this appropriate? ”
"Hey, that's what you said! Call all the trolls, and in the end aren't we talking? What other ideas can those reckless men come up with besides fighting? ”
"The point is not that they say it or not, but that they are not there when they make up their minds...."
"What did you do earlier? Worry about this and that all day long, and don't say a word when you should say it. ”
"This is just a 'proposal', and it doesn't form a 'decision', so don't shout about it, it's not too late."
The two witch doctors began to fight again, and Bladefang persuaded them again.
"It's time for us to think about how to pass these things on to our people... I thought about it, is it really necessary for us to hold the position of 'chief consul' in our hands? ”
"Huh? What do you mean. "Fangs, along with the rest of the trolls who favored 'witch doctors in power', were drawn to Bladefang's words.
"It was you who proposed the 'Wisdom Chief' before, and now you are the one who says 'it's not necessary', why do you have an idea for a while? Can there be a definite number? ”
The Chinese witch doctor said with some resentment.
"Haha, don't be angry... Isn't that a change in the situation, we didn't have the idea of establishing a 'two houses' before. ”
Blade Tooth snorted and soothed,
"Since the Rune House has been able to meet our purpose of 'controlling the direction of development' in terms of function, there is no need to firmly grasp the position on the table;
"Isn't the position of the first 'chief consul' just a testament to our intentions? In addition, if the chief was asked to sit in that position, there must be less resistance, right? ”
“.... Can he agree to those terms of office or something? Fangs seemed convinced, and instead asked about possible disagreements.
"Haha, it should be no problem if it means that it is great..... I think he's worried, too. ”
"Oh? What to worry about? ”
"I'm worried that in a few years, I will not be beheaded by the challenger."
