In December of the 55th year of the rune calendar, the post-war affairs were disposed of and the new mother tree was planted;

In June of the 56th year of the rune calendar, the parameters of the higher magic crystal were mastered, the three higher creatures were weakened, and the headquarters achieved a significant increase in the production of high-energy cell fluid;

In September of the 58th year of the rune calendar, it took 15 months and the No. 1 mother tree was expanded to 5,000 cultivation cabins;

In May of the 59th year of the rune calendar, it took 8 months and 5,000 cultivation cabins to complete the implant cultivation transformation, and the implant-related work began to accelerate;

In March of the 60th year of the rune calendar, the national implant transformation operation was completed.

The popularization of implants in the whole country is a major event that is reflected in the present and converges in the future, and there is no doubt that its influence will extend infinitely along the timeline until the distant future...

Based on the average data to date, the Republic will complete the elveing of all members except newborns in about 10-12 years, and the rate of birth of troll newborns will drop to zero by about 73 years of the rune calendar at the latest.

After this point in time, all the people can only give birth to elves in 'natural conception', and because the gestation time is too different from that of tree embryos (the incubation period of tree embryos is 7 years, and natural conception takes at least 12 years), and considering the qualification limitations caused by the investment of resources in the early years, the growth time is extended (the infant stage of trees is 3 years, and the time required for natural growth is unknown, but it is speculated to be 8 years, and the qualifications will not be as good as the former). The naturally conceived elf fetus will also be transferred to the mother tree culture chamber for subsequent breeding as soon as it is discovered.

That is to say, the 73rd year of the rune calendar will be an important node....

Until then, the population growth curve based on 'natural conception' will decline rapidly from the current level, which is not high, and 73 years will be the time when 'natural conception' will be completely abandoned;

From then on, mating activities will be completely decoupled from population expansion, becoming a real 'private sphere behavior', and the choice of fixed mates will become more free;

】

In addition, when females are no longer needed for breeding, the psychological differences and social division of labor between males and females may further improve on the existing basis.

Nesta had a kind expectation of this, and he was eager to see what kind of changes and where this kind of relationship composition, which had been imagined in a previous life, would bring about changes to society in this life, and where it would go.....

~~~

In September of the 60th year of the rune calendar, the implant cultivation chamber was changed back to the tree elf cultivation chamber, and the witch doctors decided to grit their teeth and wait for a period of time before carrying out the fourth batch of tree elves for the convenience of future enrollment and other matters.

January 61 of the rune calendar, which is a relatively important time node;

The third batch of tree elves was born in the same month, plus the end of the implant cultivation work (there will be sporadic in the future, but the scale demand will be less and less due to the decrease in the birth rate of troll fetuses, from about 250 sets a year to 0 sets), in fact, at this time, the expansion of the No. 1 mother tree has been completed, there are no more training cabins that are still working, and they are all really empty at this time.

As a result, the fourth batch of up to 20,000 embryos was hung in the same month, and according to the mature cultivation model, ten years later, in January 71, the No. 1 mother tree will add a full 20,000 tree spirits to the republic.

This was a 'revolutionary' achievement for the scale of the growth of the number of mouths, which had always been tight, and the whole kingdom was boiling for a while;

Then, both elf and troll females are therefore even more reluctant to conceive and have children.

~~~~

January is the birth month of all the previous batches of elves, and as the first batch of tree elves grows older, a lot of things are time to happen.....

At this time, the first elves born in the 41st year of the rune calendar had reached the age of 20, and since they graduated from the Central School five years ago, the vast majority of them had become first-order witch doctors.

This is an increase of a thousand witch doctors, the largest caster expansion to date, and the expansion is nearly ten times the number of spellcasters.

For the tree elves who are tentatively designated as second-order creatures, the path to promotion from 0 to 1 career level can be said to have no threshold at all, and the diligent ones can even complete the promotion at the age of 13 or 4 while still studying in school, that is, the group of witch doctors who were seconded in the process of studying the high-level magic crystal, and those with more miscellaneous minds can also complete the promotion around the age of 20.

There are many kinds of meditation methods used by elves to promote witch doctors, in addition to the most complete 'Geometric Meditation Method', 'Elven Body Meditation Method', 'Wind Wolf Meditation Method', and 'Vine Meditation Method', there are also a series of chaotic meditation methods that have sprung up in the past nearly ten years.

In the early stage of meditation, the elves actually used 'geometric meditation methods', and most of the 'meditation method innovation paths' were actually opened up at the beginning of higher education, that is, when the choice of disciplines and individual interests were differentiated, so most of the meditation methods they used in the later stages were closely related to their own professional choices.

At this point, the excellent talent gives the elves the capricious capital, and their promotion process is also the process of these meditation methods being constantly polished, and there are really many excellent enough products as a result, which further deepens the foundation of the caster and research methods of the headquarters.

And when the first elves have completed their promotions in the past few years, their choice of future paths has also diverged, and can be roughly summarized into several directions....

First, join existing laboratories and research institutes;

In fact, the number of elves who made this choice was the largest, some of them were really interested in the research, and some of them joined the preparation with the intention of 'learning' and 'being a springboard' to set up their own portals;

But in any case, the addition of hundreds of witch doctors can bring a huge increase in research, so no research institute will turn them away, whether it is a long-term plan or just a temporary passer-by, they will bury their heads for a while.

second, start from scratch entirely;

Most of the elves who choose this path have found their own interesting exploration direction in their senior years, and this direction is quite unpopular among the existing witch doctors, even to the point that there are no practitioners;

At this time, several like-minded young elves will choose to become pioneers and explorers on the road;

And because of the explosion of the number of witch doctors, the council is no longer 'concentrating on big things' as it used to be, but letting it go and letting them choose and work on their own;

Of course, there will still be occasional secondment assignments.

third, the research of 'interest groups';

The 'Aero Engine Interest Group' is one of the representatives, who have already determined the direction of their future research in the middle year, so they set up a related research institute as soon as they graduate.

After all members of the group are witchmed, such interest groups often have the relevant foundation, and the research progress will be rapidly increased in a short period of time.

fourth, 'deviance';

These elves are not interested in scientific research, they are willing to be warriors, they are willing to become inventors of practical products, or they are willing to become judges, rulers, entrepreneurs, in short, they are different choices;

Of course, due to the intentional cultivation of the education stage, the number of elves who make such choices is actually relatively rare, and the Rune Council, after becoming 'wealthy', no longer tries to restrain the aspirations of the people, and also loosens the restrictions and allows them to choose their own future paths.

These four categories are the direction divisions after the generalization, and basically the whereabouts of the first elves can be summarized in them.

In addition to the first batch that gradually grew up, the second batch of Thousand Tree Elves had just reached the age of ten at this time, and were in the education stage where the middle grade was about to end and should soon enter the upper grade;

The third group, the Thousand Tree Elves, who were born in January '61, are now just entering the preschool stage, and after a year-long general education in general knowledge, including oral English, they will enter the lower grades at the age of 1.

It is worth mentioning that the education system faced by the tree elves is different from that of the trolls who came into the natural world;

They were born as teenagers, but they were recorded as 0 years old in the file;

In the first year after birth, the tree elves will receive pre-school general knowledge education, and will not officially enter the regular education stage of the central school until they are 1 year old, and begin to go through a five-year period of learning in the lower grades.

After reaching the age of 6, they enter the middle year, which also lasts for the next five years, and at the age of 11, they begin their studies in the upper year until they are qualified for graduation at the age of 15.

Trolls, on the other hand, are just ordinary babies when they are born, and they need the personal care of the big trolls between the ages of 0 and 3, and they will not enter preschool until they are about 4 years old, and then enter the lower grades at about 5 years old;

After that, the education is the same as that of the tree elves, which is a five-year three-stage education until the age of 20 to obtain the graduation examination qualification.

From the point of view of learning ability, each stage of the education of the tree elves is relatively easier, and the troll boys will be more difficult.

At this time, there were less than 5,500 little troll students and 2,000 tree elf students in the four stages of education (including preschool education) in the central school;

In the former, the annual enrollment rate is getting lower and lower due to the birth rate, while the number of graduates is about 250 per year, and it is also decreasing year by year.

In the latter, due to the determination of the birth rate and birth time, the enrollment rate is also stable, and it can be seen that the graduation will usher in a large-scale graduation wave every ten years according to the different enrollment cycles;

Of course, this has only happened once so far, but it is likely to become a regular pattern in the future.

~~~~~

In June of the 61st year of the rune calendar, by this time, the first batch of 1,000 tree elves had all become witch doctors, and all the work related to the No. 1 mother tree was finally over, followed by the expansion of the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees.

The No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees are carrying out the 'Higher Salamander Cell Fluid Experiment' project, which has been carried out for five and a half years since it began in December of the 55th year of the rune calendar.

During this period, the witch doctors conducted several different confirmatory studies simultaneously in order to verify their functional suitability in embryo and cell breeding.

They are 'Warcraft Embryo Advancement', 'Activated Armor Core Cultivation', 'Troll Implant Cultivation', etc., and the purpose of the research is to 'verify the functionality of the higher salamander cell sap in the embryonic stage', 'verify its harmlessness to elf cells', 'verify its harmlessness to troll cells and upgrade', 'collect data', and so on.

Since many of the projects were carried out at the same time, only about four years had passed by the time they went through several rounds and ended successfully.

When the time came to January of the 60th year of the rune calendar, the witch doctors estimated the time to carry out their first tree elf embryo hanging eggs in the mother trees 2 and 3 respectively;

If nothing happens, in more than a decade, there will be two elves, born from the mother tree No. 2 and No. 3, just like Freya back then.

However, because there were no mistakes in the previous verification work, the Demonic Beasts, Activated Armor Cores, and Troll Implants bred by the two new mother trees were no different from those of the No. 1 Mother Tree, so the witch doctors were very confident in the results of the elves' breeding;

What needs to be done now is to pay attention to the two new eggs all the time, and carry out meticulous debugging of the supply and demand of higher salamander cell sap and related nutrients in the process of their growth, and strive to grasp the optimal breeding plan when the next batch is launched.

In addition, there is one more thing that excites the witch doctors.....

That is, due to their size and many other reasons, the two higher salamanders can actually produce much more high-energy cell fluid than the cave wolf;

Among them, the one that was thundered could produce about 60,000 tree-born elf embryos, and the one that was hit hard by the cave wolf could also produce about 30,000 embryos.

The total of the two can reach 90,000, and the output of the cave wolf is more than 110,000.....

Therefore, if there is no accident, the cultivation speed of the elves in the headquarters will increase to this number after more than ten years, and even if some energy reserves are deducted from it, it should be able to ensure the scale of about 100,000 eggs per batch.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you must first have 110,000 training cabins or even more in the headquarters;

On the side of the No. 1 mother tree, there are already 20,000 cultivation cabins, and the remaining 90,000 will have to be attached to the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees.

Judging by previous experience, this does not seem to be something that can be easily done?

But in fact, many things will seem weak in the face of time, such as the 'cultivation chamber production increase', which was quite difficult earlier, has now become less heavy due to the surge in the number of witch doctors....

In June of the 61st year of the rune calendar, the expansion of the number of cultivation cabins for the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees officially began;

With a wave of their hand, the Rune Council temporarily recruited a full two hundred witch doctors to carry out this work, and the addition rate of the previous 350 seats/month cultivation chamber was thus outdated, and the 'gardeners' caught up with the industrial output of cultivation cabin accessories in a short period of time, bringing it to the new standard of 1,000 seats/month.

By January of the 62nd year of the rune calendar, the production rate of cultivation cabin accessories was raised to 2,000 per month, and the progress of the expansion project of the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees was improved again.

As a result, when the time was turned to July of the 65th year of the rune calendar, the expansion of the No. 2 and No. 3 mother trees was finally completed, and the headquarters achieved an increase of 90,000 cultivation cabins.

Naturally, all of these 90,000 cultivation cabins could not be used for preliminary experiments;

Therefore, before the launch of the 'Mass Production of Tree Elves' project, the Council decided to allocate their production capacity to projects such as 'Breed Improvement', 'Companion Warcraft Breed Improvement', 'External Activated Armor Core Breeding', and 'War Ancient Tree Breeding', so as to make use of the gap period in the past few years as much as possible.

The purpose of this is to strengthen the strength of the headquarters in other aspects, such as the breed improvement of meat and dairy animals.

At the current stage, half of the meat obtained by the department depends on the supply of naturalized wolves in the wild, and the other half depends on large-scale production of large and small farms;

The Ministry does not intend to be involved in the breeding process of wild populations, but the improvement of the breeds of livestock in the farms is not in the way, as long as the scope of their actions is strictly limited and the products after breeding are not allowed to go to the wild to pollute the wild population.

Of course, this work has been carried out for a long time, but with the large investment of culture chambers and high-energy cell fluid, more and better results will be born.

~~~~~

Nearly ten years have passed from December 55, when the new mother tree was planted, to July 65, when the expansion of the mother tree was completed on February 3.

During this period, it was not only the new and old witch doctors who were assigned to be the 'mother tree gardeners', especially in the middle and later stages, with the rapid increase in the number of witch doctors, many research projects have been born one after another.

Perhaps the most striking of these is the 'Battleship' project, which has undergone several changes and has been enhanced in size and equipment.

Secondly, the 'Land Power Project' led by Freya has also achieved great gains in the past few years;

Thirdly, the 'Aerodynamic Program' has also had preliminary results;

Then, the 'rare noble gas' was discovered, and it progressed from the initial laboratory 'surgical preparation' to the 'industrial preparation' stage.

Later, when 'again' and 'next' are combined, a kind of 'airship' is born....

It is capable of climbing tens of thousands of meters and crossing distances that would seem almost impossible by land at a modest speed and with enough load.

As a result, the deployment speed of the 'mainland base station tree' has accelerated sharply;

One by one, airships secretly crossed from tens of thousands of meters in the air, and transported this important magic product related to the future of the headquarters to the predetermined installation point in a relatively short period of time and relatively conveniently;

Subsequently, because the selected 'deployment points' are basically 'inhabited' areas, the airship can land more calmly after arrival, so as to complete the transportation task of the base station builder and related core components.

Because of this convenience, only 120 'mainland base station trees' in the original plan have the confidence to continue to expand, and 200 or 300 will be laid without being discovered.

Finally, the 'Extracorporeal Activated Armor' has really matured at the technical level, and in terms of application, it has gradually gained a regular and efficient system of ideas in the continuous use of many warriors, including the Great Fang.

~~~~

Today, Freya, who is 30 years old, has finally passed sub-adulthood and officially entered the prime of life in terms of body size and growth rate;

Her growth is visible to the naked eye, not only has her fully developed body made her more powerful and fast, but also made great progress in her mental character and scientific research achievements.

In terms of mental nature, although there is nothing to talk about 'everyone is beautiful' or 'gentle', but the growth of age, the self-adjustment of hormone secretion, and the long-term investment in scientific research have made Freya initially have a kind of stability and calmness, at least no longer as before.

Now, without her need to deliberately emphasize it, few people will continue to call her 'little Freya';

Even if a few witch doctors such as Nesta still insist on this name, Freya will only sweetly reply 'hey~'.

In terms of scientific research, the 'Onshore Power Project' led by her has finally come to an end, with the results of 'breathing turbine gas turbines' and 'piston gas motors'.

Among them, the prototype of the former is the ship-type 'medium straight shaft steam turbine', which has also been completed and designed by the machine tooth, and Freya's job is mainly to bring the team to improve it in terms of 'landing'.

Based on the demand, she changed the "steam power" with greater space requirements to "atmospheric compression power", so that in addition to the application of large ships, it also extended the possibility of application in medium-sized military, civil, and industrial machinery on land.

This kind of machinery integrates the academic achievements of 'totem', 'chemistry' and 'physics', and is composed of an externally suction air compressed tube, a gas generating chamber, an air pressurized heating chamber, a hybrid ignition chamber, a turbo interchanger, including their respective totem components, and some auxiliary working parts such as lubrication;

Its working principle is: inhaling air, compressing and pressurizing step by step, increasing the temperature, and mixing it with 'gas' to ignite, generating high-temperature and high-pressure gas into the turbine to expand and do work, and output mechanical energy.

On the whole, this will be a kind of high-precision, high-output, high-efficiency large-scale power totem machinery, its operation process is naturally inseparable from the totem, but these totems will not directly produce 'force', but through physical rules to transform 'chemical energy', 'mechanical energy', so as to indirectly bring power to the machine.

Therefore, the consumption of nutrients by machinery is not outrageously large, and only the concentrated nutrients that need not to be added to the 'high-energy cell sap' can support the operation of the charge power.

It can be regarded as a real change in agriculture, industry, military, transportation, etc.
