Chapter 92: The Witch Doctor and the Common Troll
At this time, the station is in ruins, and there are not too many trolls who have time to spare.
Seeing that Blade Fang fell into thought, some of the apprentices who had something to do with their hands left first soon after under the promise of Meiya and Boat Tooth, and returned to their busy posts;
The ordinary trolls gradually lost interest and continued to work with each other.
Gradually, Mia, the Ship's Teeth, and the guards who always followed him were left beside him.
The trolls didn't bother, just waited quietly.
Boat Tooth and Miya may have begun to think about their respective research in their minds.
~~~~~~~
'What are the advantages of the witch doctor.... How can the power of the people be activated? ’
In the contemplation, the various aspects of the past life came to mind one after another, and they matched the actual situation of this life, helping Blade Fang to find the direction of the future.
In his previous life, Blade Tooth liked to read fantasy novels.
He noticed that in some fantasy worldviews, there is such a phenomenon:
The upper-class aristocracy enjoyed the dividends brought by the magical civilization, and its convenience was even far beyond the modern society in which he lived in his previous life;
But the people at the bottom still live an almost medieval life.
Although it is only a fictionalist's fantasy worldview, this example of deformed development is indeed not to be taken lightly.
Just like this in the world, if you continue to develop in the current mode step by step.
The teeth seem... Will it slowly move towards that kind of future?
The witch doctors rely on the power of magic to turn over rivers and seas, and live a beautiful and magical life under the nourishment of various convenient technologies;
Ordinary trolls may have no worries about food and clothing, but on the whole they still maintain a state of 'being able to eat'.....
If Bladetooth wants to be a feudal lord and rule a group of foolish people who only know how to eat....
Then this kind of future, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?
He could reign forever and ever, and even further...
Perhaps, in the future, he will be able to ascend to the throne of the gods in the worship of the trolls and expand his own cross-dimensional empire with his strength.
But after all, it can't be like this, he was born under the red flag, and grew up in the song of 'We workers have power'.... Even if the power of the workers gradually declined.
However, it is still impossible for Blade Fang to rule a group of foolish people as a matter of course, and to be powerful and blessed on their heads, and to become immortals and ancestors......
So, how to better develop the tribe;
And how to establish an effective mechanism of coexistence and co-prosperity between the witch doctor group and ordinary trolls.....
It became a question that he had to think about at this time.
"Perhaps, it's the convenience of magic that blinds me...," he reflected.
'Trying to solve this problem.... Even if it is only a preliminary solution or delay, then it is necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each side. ’
'The advantage of magic.... It's about precision, degrees of freedom, ease of research, and maybe individual strength in the future.... The disadvantage is also obvious, because of the number of qualifications that are restricted; ’
'The advantage of ordinary trolls lies in numbers, and the disadvantage lies in the speed of knowledge acquisition and research adaptability..... After the totem matures, although it can also use the power of magic, the breadth and abundance, fineness and freedom are still obvious shortcomings. ’
Let me think, what was there in a previous life that could fit into this chart of strengths and weaknesses? ’
'Scientists and ordinary people? No, there may be a talent gap between the two, but it is by no means as big as a witch doctor and an ordinary troll; This gap, to some extent, can be crossed through hard work....'
'Capitalists, entrepreneurs, ordinary people? It's not quite the same... The qualification gap is not that big, not to mention. There are many pigs that rise and fall on the tuyere, and there are hundreds of capitalists who have been hanged.....
'Perhaps.... Closer to country to country? For example, the relationship between developed countries and backward countries? ’
'Developed countries... It has mastered the technical barriers that can be broken through without accumulating manpower, and has mastered some high-end military advantages, but the population shortcomings are obvious.... If you force it to explain, it seems to be similar to the situation of the witch doctor? ’
And then the country that comes back has the resources and the manpower,...... Some also have the ability to die together....'
'Although these two parties stumble and occasionally rub together, they are barely squeezed into the global village....'
The developed countries themselves tightly cover up their high-tech technology, and only hand over backward technology that has been covered up layer by layer, and even retains the back door, to the backward countries to operate. ”
"They use the human, material and productive forces of backward countries to continue to nourish their own scientific research strength and high-end industries.... And so on and so forth. ’
'It seems that if you apply this pattern to the head of the witch doctor, you can also .....'
'Use the witch doctor's own strengths to create something that doesn't require the intervention of magic and can be manipulated by ordinary trolls... Machine? ’
'Treat the witch doctors as high-precision 'industrial machine tools', the 'mother machines' make secondary 'machine tools', and ordinary trolls use 'machine tools' to carry out construction.... Grow the tribe and feed the witch doctor at the same time....'
It can ensure the social status of the witch doctor, so that he will not be overturned to the ground one day; It can also make full use of labor resources, so that ordinary trolls also have an indispensable social status, so that they will not become appendages of high-level transcendentals. ’
This balance between countries may be extremely dangerous, and backward countries cannot be willing to act as leeks forever. But even so, the balance was maintained for a long time.....
But the witch doctor and the ordinary troll are not really a relationship between countries..... The two are of the same race as each other, and each has a different social division of labor... Perhaps, there will be more room for maneuver between them, so that it will not turn into a hostile relationship between the tip of the needle and the wheat mang? ’
'This may work.... But we must control the atmosphere and not allow careerists to create contradictions in it..... In addition, the arming of the mind must also be put on the agenda, and everyone must have a common goal. ’
"Shipya, tell me what are the processes of shipbuilding in the tribe now."
"Huh? Okay..."
I didn't understand why the Speaker had jumped on the issue again, but the boat teeth were quick to respond.
He just thought about it for a moment, and then sorted out the logic and said,
"If you don't talk about keels, steel and wooden nails, etc., it's nothing more than cutting trees, peeling, cutting, perforating, ....."
Shipbuilding is a complex job, and although the machining accuracy is not very high, there are extremely complicated processes, and the ship's teeth recounted it for a while before they could barely finish it.
"Hmm.... I understand.... You go ahead and get busy, I have something to figure out. ”
"Understood, then I'll go first.... By the way, although I occupy two rooms in the treehouse, there is still a lot of spare space, you and..."
"Leave me alone, I'll just find an ordinary house to live in with Meiya."
"Oh, well...."
The boat tooth said yes and ran away, for fear that the blade would repent, and pressed the construction of the wheelbarrow on his head again.
Looking at his departing back, Blade Fang shook his head helplessly and didn't care any more, and instead instructed the guards,
"You've worked hard all the way, go find a place to rest, and if you have the energy, go and help the people."
"Understood!"
The warriors didn't have as many fancy intestines as the witch doctors, and the blade fangs disbanded them, and they disbanded directly, and they didn't have the idea of staying to make a sycophant.
Saying goodbye to the trolls, Bladetooth and Meiya, they walked along the road.
After visiting the rest of the station, they found a place to live.
~~~~~~
After a long journey, even the troll bodies of the couple were already feeling a little tired at this time.
When they entered the house, they made a simple double bed out of vines, and they lay down in pairs.... Maybe it's not appropriate to use 'kimono', because Blade is only wearing a pair of pants, and Meiya is a simple bandeau + bottom combination.
Between the physical collisions, the two couldn't help but have a short period of warmth, and afterwards Meiya fell into her husband's arms and asked,
"What were you thinking?"
"Oh, I'm thinking about 'lathe', 'drilling machine', 'boring machine'...."
"What's that?"
"It's through some kind of mechanical structure, using the strength and sharpness of different steel and wood, combined with the power of trolls..... Or hydro, wind? to do the finishing of the material....."
"Oh, I see.... Go back and tell me more, I'll help too. ”
"Hmm."
