Chapter 344: Ancestors and Descendants, Planting Trees and Enjoying the Shade
Back to Nesta......
In his early years, Nesta was actually very conscious of being a 'plane master', and he appeared in every important or unimportant matter of the Republic, even regardless of whether these matters were suitable or not, such as when he was the Supreme Leader, he personally went behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance.
But in any case, he has always been tireless in driving the progress of all sides, although there are occasional mistakes in the process, but also often aggressive, but fortunately, the result is not bad, after all, he used some experience and insight brought from his previous life, in the previous hundred years, his new home and new race, successfully led a growth path to maintain a super high speed, and he has become an undoubted and well-deserved protagonist in an era.
However, after all, the endless time is passing in a positive direction, and the situation is constantly changing, as the kingdom and the race are more and more on the right track in all aspects, the knowledge and experience from the past life in his mind have long ceased to be the absolute lead, and gradually began to move towards or have become outdated concepts.
The essence of this is that the development of elves has surpassed the world in which Nesta lived in her previous life, and this transcendence is not only reflected in the direction of hard-core technical ability, academic theory, material acquisition, etc., but also in other 'soft' areas such as politics, imagination, and 'brain holes';
In other words, the various aspects of the previous life are no longer suitable as a reference for the subsequent development of this realm......
Of course, the term "outdated" here refers only to 'the knowledge and imagination of previous lives', not to Nesta itself, because he has also made progress over the years, and can even be said to be at the relative forefront of 'wisdom' and the absolute forefront of individual power.
Today, however, the situation is very different......
At present, no matter how strong and intelligent an individual is, as long as his life essence and thinking characteristics have not been able to separate himself from the overall population, and can ignore the difference in numbers, he will no longer be able to become the undoubted protagonist of an era as he has been in the past.
Because, it is relatively difficult to open up the road ahead, but it will be much easier for the younger generations to catch up with the footsteps of their predecessors, and the reason why such a state will be formed is also the foundation laid by his own hands.....
After mastering the power of spells and totems, the ancestors led by Nesta did not embark on the path of 'self-respecting' and 'only the strong are subordinate', which seemed normal and in fact conformed to the laws of development, but popularized almost all of the 'magic abilities' in the form of 'totem tools' in their subsequent research.
As a result, the affairs of all parties are assisted by advanced technological tools, and the existence of these tools and application forms has smoothed out the 'individual interstitial gap' in the early stage.
The impact of this is far-reaching, allowing the individual's ability to be violent and so on to never have an absolute advantage over society as a whole, thus maintaining a certain internal equilibrium and inhibiting the soil in which certain ideas can be nurtured.
In terms of 'history and politics', the republic lacks all kinds of historical lessons from itself, such as civil wars, power struggles, grabs for profit, divisions, and so on.
However, the former continental states, the current subordinate city-states, and the current sectarian states have also become a kind of mirror-like exogenous reference, allowing the ancestors of the republic to see and remember some ugliness and hideousness that originated from the individual or the whole, and even performed various tragedies on the stage of other tribes for the purpose of research.
Moreover, the long life span of the elves makes history no longer just cold knowledge in textbooks, but an experience and lesson that can be recalled;
Even if these 'experiences' do not come from themselves, and even if these 'lessons' are not the past experiences of the Republic, they are still enough to make the ancestors jealous and take the initiative to avoid them.
Therefore, under the 'fear' and a certain 'yearning' born from it, they inherited Nesta's somewhat overly ideal ideas in social and political aspects, and always maintained their insistence on an open and fair path, which was embodied in any aspect of knowledge education, qualification shaping, social environment, and even resource allocation.
As a result, the continuous exploration and development of nature for more than 200 years has naturally become an incomparable and excellent condition for future generations, and their cultivation has always been placed in the highest priority.
In today's world, in addition to the physical and mental qualities inherent in the elven body, the plexus braids, the second heart nucleus, and even the totipotent cells ..... It has become the birth standard for elves in the new era, and the most important is the 'totipotent cell'......
In the past, these were special cells that required a third-order witch doctor to spawn through cultivation, or through the assimilation of wills by powerful warriors;
But today, it has long been combined with the 'second heart nucleus' at the embryonic cultivation stage, thus becoming the 'innate characteristic' of every elf;
In the process of their conception, through the exogenous amplification of the life force field, the 'second heart nucleus' is inherently transformed into a part of the 'main consciousness' and participates in the process of subjective thinking.
In other words, this heart core is equivalent to becoming the second brain of the elves, which not only greatly improves their already strong mental talent, but also plays a role in raising the starting point and speeding up the process in terms of cultivation speed.
At the same time, the Republic used the concept of 'twin complementarity' derived from the Laiyin species, and then sublimated the realm of the void, totemic inscriptions, and 'faith', and finally constructed a ...... The 'companion beast' technology uses the subconscious of the elves as the thinking carrier and their somatic cells as the material carrier;
The ontology of this 'companion beast' is a homologous somatic cell clone egg created through genetic engineering technology, and they will be implanted into the second heart nucleus of the elves in the last year when the host has chosen the path before birth;
Then, the 'companion egg' will not divide and proliferate normally, but will only be rapidly assimilated by the subject due to homology after limited division, and completely integrate into the core cell population.
They share with the main body the thoughts formed by the cell population of the heart nucleus, thus becoming an existence that essentially belongs to the elf's own consciousness, but is between the main consciousness and the subconscious, and can exist with the main consciousness at the same time, similar to the main body of the high-level spellcaster and the cell clone.
The goal of this technology is to make it a helping body in many ways through this interconnected, relatively independent thinking existence and operation process.....
First of all, it has the function of a fully automatic inscription generator, which can turn the 'avatar' into a body totem without gaps when needed, thereby increasing the environmental adaptability and diversity of tactics of the host.
Secondly, it is also a good companion for mental communication, which can 'leave' the heart core in the form of a virtual body in the form of mind projection, and has the ability to act independently within a certain range.
Last but not least, it has the ability to access the Void Realm, which allows the elves who are at any level of cultivation and choose any path to have the ability to enter the Void anytime and anywhere, without having to rely on the assistance of additional facilities such as the Dream Pod......
And the change of this last point has had a greater or lesser impact on many aspects in a complementary way....
For example, using the virtual realm as a rocker can enable the intelligent brain at any time, so as to strengthen its own computing power at any time and anywhere, and thus have a significant effect on the experimental ability and speed, as well as individual strength;
For another example, after maintaining the coexistence of thinking in the virtual realm and reality, a kind of 'inner thinking interface' like a game panel replaces the individual terminal, and becomes an assistant for reading books, reading materials, making transactions, and even completing lectures in the virtual realm.
For example, all public authorities have been changed to the office model of 'brain + doppelganger + virtual realm', which has further reduced the number of public officials in the republic and abolished the actual office location on a large scale.
And put all of the above together......
Superb qualifications, coupled with open access to knowledge, supplemented by the enhancement of computing power by the intelligent brain and the struggle for time in the realm of the virtual realm, as well as the ability to obtain resources covering several planets and asteroid belts in the home galaxy, as well as the 'working country' and automated factories throughout the continent.....
When all this happens together, it will allow the younger generations to learn the knowledge accumulated in the previous 200 years in just ten years, and the individual strength will be much faster than the original ancestors;
As a result, there is the phenomenon of "catching up is much easier than developing" as previously said.
The same applies to Nesta, in which he has gone through several different stages of positioning, from the early 'sole protagonist', to the later 'one of the protagonists', and then to today's 'one of the many leaders', Nesta's importance has been gradually and steadily declining.
Of course, he is not the only one, but many veteran researchers, including coarse teeth, fangs, etc., have also been gradually caught up by the smart juniors under the combined effect of these factors, and the most energetic ones have even chased to the extent that they can walk flush.
Therefore, it may be true to say that 'there is no individual in the republic that cannot be replaced', because no one can continue to move forward without this country, but Nesta does not feel regret or pity for this, he even thinks that this is the proof of the vitality and vigor of a race......
Of course, because he never wielded power, never dictatorship, and chose to retreat bravely in the most stable period of his position, his spiritual position in the group still maintained a kind of loftiness, and in today, and even in the distant future, it will be an absolute symbol of the times, and the object of worship of countless future generations;
But the meaning and reason for this have long been completely different from the past.....
~~~~~~~
The purple moon was spinning in the deep sky, and a hatch suddenly opened in a certain area of it, and two figures, one virtual and one real, with two very familiar faces, slowly walked out of it;
It doesn't take too much detail to distinguish between them, one of them is the 'Pioneer', the 'Sun Lord' Nesta, who is now idle and has been buried in the laboratory or ashram for many years;
The other was his partner, Lady Aishara, the 'Light of Light' as the Grand Consul of the Republic.
At the moment, they walked on the surface of the moon in an unguarded and reckless manner, and paced to a viewing platform in front of them.
In their relative position alone, they were undoubtedly standing on the side of the moon, and with a slight turn to the left, they could see the beautiful star 'below' that shone brightly in the darkness of deep space and in the distant sunlight;
That is the home planet of the elves, blue, white, and black are the main colors of most of the surface areas, which are the magnificent ocean, the atmosphere and clouds in the sky, the ice and snow wasteland in the polar regions, and the dark night that the sun does not shine on;
In addition, there are different shades of brown and green, as well as purple-gold, which also dominate some areas of the country, and the sources are continents, islands, mountain plateaus, as well as forests and farmlands.....
However, the gaze of these two figures was not completely focused on the scenery displayed by the home planet at this moment;
I wasn't as attracted by the huge elven city clusters as I had in the past, even though it was glowing with the charm of a civilization that was born in the midst of a change of heaven.
At this time, what they were looking at was the middle of these two natural and acquired stars, the dozens of tiny spaceships that were aiming at the surface of the parent star and moving in the opposite direction with themselves;
And under their watchful eye, these ships are slowly flying in the direction of the atmosphere......
"Another batch of little ones has been born......"
Nesta, who was the first to speak, already had a strong figure nearly 10 meters tall at this time, and this was not a 'mimic body', but a completely real body;
At this time, there seemed to be stars shining in his purple eyes, his smooth long light purple hair was as dazzling as a galaxy, and between the knotted muscles and flesh of his body, there were mysterious and mysterious golden lines spreading;
They climb up to the face and down to the soles of the feet, and although they do not cover 100% of the area, they may not even reach 30% of the body surface in terms of area, but they also have a very significant presence;
And I don't know if it's the influence of these golden lines, the vacuum and gravity anomaly on the surface of the magic moon seem to have no effect on his actions at this time;
Even his voice, as in an ordinary environment, was transmitted to his side without any obstacles, and was received by the illusory Essara....
"Yes, there are 40,000 new ones today, but I seem to be getting used to it a little~"
Azhara is also about 9 meters tall, but compared to the muscular feeling of Nesta around her, her body is more graceful and athletic;
She did not feel the slightest cumbersome feeling because of her large size, but she had an extraordinarily mature charm that was exuded at all times, and the lines on her body, which were also light gold and occupied about 30% of the area, added a little mysterious beauty to this maturity.
"After all, it's like this every day, and the feeling of joy in the past is a lot of ......."
Holding her partner by the waist and holding her to her chest from behind, Nesta lowered her head and sniffed at her long purple and almost white hair, and said again with some emotion,
"It's amazing to think about it, the total number of mouths will be 70,000 as if it was yesterday, but in fact, we are no longer excited about the addition of 40,000."
"Why don't you say that the 'Tribe' period was just yesterday?" Achara, who rolled her eyes shallowly, chuckled and reminded at this time, "Wake up, this two-hundred-and-fifty-year-old grandpa of the lakeworm." β
"Got it, two hundred and forty-year-old grandmother..... Hey, don't pinch me! β
After that, their hug continued for a long time, until the ships slowly became smaller and obscured by the atmosphere of the home planet, and although Azhara in her arms was a little reluctant to interrupt the silence, she still had to ask,
"What do you think of the previous plan?"
"Which one?"
"It's about building a crewless spacecraft to explore beyond the home galaxy from the moon."
As she spoke, her body, which was in a phantory state but seemed to be able to withstand force and smell, changed the posture of the two parties to face to face in a slight flip, and then tilted her head and looked at her partner, who was nearly a meter taller than herself, and reminded.
"If you don't look at it much, it feels a little unrealistic and not timely......"
"How?"
"There is still a long way to go for the miniaturization of fusion reactors, and even if the spacecraft is developed, the speed is still too slow, and the uncertainty of this plan is too high.....
Moaning slightly, Nesta gave her opinion,
"The former is okay, and the worst result is just that we have done useless work, but the latter is ......."
"What about the latter?"
"Although the probability may be very low, I am afraid that if we really encounter extraterrestrial life, and then they use this to deduce our technical ability and locate our home planet, whether the result will be 'a visitor from afar' or 'a bad visitor', but it is not something we can decide."
"Well, this concern has indeed arisen,"
Aishara seemed to have the same opinion as her partner, so she didn't refute anything at this time, but agreed with her head and continued,
"So that's it? Anyway, the resources in the home star and the home galaxy should be enough for us to take it for a long time. β
"I'm in favor, now we have a big sun, and there are stars with different characteristics are still waiting to be developed and utilized....... As for exploring outer galaxies, finding new habitable planets, etc., it seems that there is no need for this for the time being. β
After saying this, Nesta asked again as if she remembered something,
"The laser-propelled lightsail is envisioned..... How's the progress going? β
"The theory validation phase is over...."
Ishalla showed a slight sense of unease, and replied in a tone of anticipation and excitement,
"It seems that there is hope of reaching 0.7 times the speed of light, if there is progress on the gravitational field hole project........
"Well, the darkness outside the home galaxy will no longer be our boundary."
~~~~~~
"It's just a small step for us......."
"But it is also a big step for the republic and the community......."
Shatie, who was watching the 'Purgatory Star 60 Years Construction History Special Program', was a little excited about the two declarations at the moment, and was a little speechless because of the subsequent conversation, when a 'Ding Dong' sound appeared directly from her mind.....
[New information, please check]
'Sister Shaty, I've finally been born!' Where are you, so that it is inconvenient to meet? β
After opening it with her mind, Shaty also received the message she was transmitting, and her voice signature was unusually familiar......
"Isn't this Alena!"
She muttered to herself with some joy, and then immediately replied,
'Convenient, convenient, I'll call you right away!' β
But before she could start moving, the contact on the other side had already arrived.......
Alena's beautiful doll-like face occupied her entire mind in the next moment, and she blinked her eyes and swayed as if to say, 'You pick it up, don't keep me waiting~'
"Hey, what an impatient little girl."
Shaty shook her head with a smile and connected to the communication, and the light curtain in her mind was projected into the outside world, and the head inside seemed to turn into substance, and along with the outlined body below, it walked out of the light curtain like a living entity.....
"Long time no see! Miss me! β
As soon as this 'body' appeared, he immediately pounced on Shatie, and hugged her before shouting excitedly, and Shatie, who was being held, was also very happy, so he hugged the specious figure in his arms with his backhand.
After that, they hugged, held hands, screamed and jumped in place like ordinary little girls, and fortunately Shaty's dwelling, or all the elven dwellings, had the best sound insulation, otherwise they would have to be sued.
After a long time, the joy of the reunion was suppressed by reason, and the exchange of the eight classics began at this time.......
~~~~~~
About 60 years have passed since the development of Purgatory Star, which began at the end of the 150th year of the Rune Calendar, and with the technology and efficient construction progress of the elves, the appearance of this area has long been very different from the past;
And at this moment, there are two half-elf girls who are barely 1.6 meters old, holding hands, wandering around this huge base.
"Sister, why did you get here?"
Alena asked puzzled, although everything in Purgatory seemed very novel and had a special sense of the end of the world, but compared to the environment and conditions of the mother planet, it was more than a star and a half, so she was very puzzled by Shaty's choice.
"I'm not resident here, sister, I'm a truck driver now..... It's still an internship. β
'Huh?' Truckers' ..... Hell, what kind of profession is this? β
"Haha, it's the 'Star Trucker' who is responsible for following the 'master' to transport the output of Purgatory, isn't it cool?"
"But.... But you're obviously an honor student......" Alena said with some confusion, "I feel like I shouldn't have done something more important, right.....?"
"Tell me, what's 'more important'?"
"For example...."
"For example, go to the Spell Moon Base to study for further study, and then become a qualified wizard and great wizard along the way, and set up your own laboratory to do research?"
"Yes, yes! That's itγThat's the important thing, yes! β
"It's really important, yes, I may choose this way in the future, but now..."
Shaking her head slightly, Shaty continued,
"It's only been less than two years since I left the virtual world and came to the real world, and I want to spend another 3 to 5 years to see and walk more places with my own eyes, try to truly experience the world with my body and sense, and then choose the goal of a long life at this stage."
"Wow..... Sister, hello mature~"
Alena, who had strange stars in her eyes, said to Shaty with a look of adoration at this time, because she had never thought about these things herself......
It's been about a week since I came into the world, but I'm ashamed...... Not to mention her future choice, she hasn't even decided on her own residence, so she is still in a state of 'jobless vagrant' with no fixed residence;
However, this is not caused by the high housing prices, school district divisions and other dilapidated reasons, but the fact that there are too many choices makes her feel a little dazzled......
Within a wide area, different latitudes and longitudes have different climates, and different cities have different scenery;
Do you want to live in a city that is bustling and has a sense of sophistication at a glance, or do you want to settle down in a quiet town or countryside in the suburbs, or do you want to live in a special place on the cliffs and ice fields?
Although Alena received a lot of subsidies and bonuses due to many reasons such as 'good grades' and 'winning competitions' during school, it was only enough for her to choose one of them to live in, and she couldn't 'get them all';
Therefore, at this time, under some inseparability, she seems to be suffering from 'choice difficulty'......
