Chapter 373: Decision-making and Planning
[Let's take another look, use the gang we are infiltrating as a window, and find a way to learn more about the specific situation in the outside world before making a decision.] 】
Faced with a lot of information that is still uncertain, the Republic has come to the conclusion after deliberation, and has decided not to appear in the vision of the Great River System to become a civilized seat for the time being, but to appear as an 'excellent artificial human' on the stage of the galaxy first.
At the same time, the elves also plan to take advantage of the inefficiency of the natural transmission of information at a large distance, taking advantage of the long enough time window between themselves and the bustling belt, to spread their footprints further while ensuring concealment;
In this way, even if you have to join in the future, you can get a better start for the Republic.
In addition, there is actually another idea that may be slightly evil, which is in the minds of many patriarchs at about the same time.
Many of the more experienced 'old men', including Nesta, wondered if they could allow the existing sects and city-states in their sphere of influence to join the Council as separate civilizations?
If only the mind control at the level of the gods is retained, and all their direct or indirect connections with the Republic are eliminated on the surface, and then they are transported to the extremely distant star fields that are completely different from the elves, and these forces are displayed in the form of a separate civilization in the vision of the Great River System, maybe it will play some unexpected role in the future?
Of course, the difficulty of implementing this operation is obvious.
For the time being, the elves did not know where the other 'Savage Belts' were, nor did they know what civilizational forces existed along the way, nor did they know the specific scope of the areas under their respective control, nor did they understand the extent to which the civilizations of the Great River System had reached the ability to monitor the star field;
So realistically, transportation is the first dilemma they face, including the choice of location, the way to go, the concealment of the way, etc., a series of matters, for the country elves living in the wilderness, none of them is easy to solve;
In addition, in order not to attract the attention of other civilizations to the star field where they are located, the distance span of the projection must be as far as possible.
There are also many problems in culture, knowledge, technology, etc., the civilizations of the continent have coexisted together on the home planet for tens of thousands of years after they were formed, and the influence given to them by the elves after their birth is also extremely deep and extensive;
The influence of the former does not need to be mentioned, even if the sects have carried out a deep cultural reshaping of the believers under their command, in fact, it is still a deletion, deletion and modification of the original foundation, so what has been reshaped is only a certain degree of appearance;
The latter, that is, the influence from the elves, although relatively short-lived, is as rapid and profound as a flame, such as the concept and essence of the divine domain, gods, angels, clergy, divine grace array, divine grace language, etc., which greatly changed their traditional culture and living conditions, and deepened more cultural and technological homogeneity between them;
Presumably, no one would ignore the obvious symbiosis, and it is not impossible for some civilization or individual to turn their eyes to the 'divine realm' and thus incur some unexpected situations.
Finally, there is perhaps a more fundamental issue of genetics.
Although the many creatures born from the mother planet seem strange in appearance today, the co-ancestral evolutionary relationship between them is real, even for the unrecognizable elven race, and even their 'relatives' can be found in the tiny underground worms;
In fact, this point has been made clear as early as when the genetic code of various races was cracked, and it is also one of the important reasons why it is relatively easy for gene modules to take effect on newborn cells.
Of course, the same is true for the rest of the home planetary civilizations, and some species that are very close to each other can even detect more than 99% of the similarity, and the remaining ones that are more than 95% and more than 90% are not uncommon;
That is to say, as long as the minds of the Council and the civilizations of the great river system are not stupid, it is unlikely that they will ignore this obvious homologous relationship, and provide them with more than 100 seats of civilization one after another, and even give them a certain space for development
In this regard, after shielding their own 'relevant memories', the elven elders only started from the position of the council and the civilization with seats, and carried out a very targeted empathy;
As a result, they are 'disbelieved', 'there is a conspiracy', 'where is the divine domain', 'high-dimensional creatures?' And so on and so on flooded my mind;
The vigilance and greed contained in it are enough to prompt empathetic elves to start with the 'new civilization' and follow the trail all the way to find the source of this phenomenon
As a result, the plan was partially shelved, lest it end up being self-defeating.
The reason why it is only 'partially shelved' is because some of these projects can be carried out under existing conditions, especially the reshaping experiments in culture, language, technology, etc., are not difficult for the kingdom;
Therefore, the council made a relevant advance plan, preparing to build a super-large, dedicated virtual world intelligent brain, with the most realistic simulation of the material world, plus the fastest possible time span, to carry out a simulation experiment from Ru Mao drinking blood to civilization and life, and even more future stages.
The purpose of this proposal is to see if it is possible to shape civilization from scratch in such a situation, and it must be a new 'self-evolving civilization';
In the future, it is necessary to find a way to incorporate the concept of the gods and their corresponding forces into the process of evolution in a way that does not violate the harmony but has a profound impact;
If necessary, a planet-level testing ground can also be transformed in the real world to carry out corresponding real experiments.
In addition, the existing lurking windows have become even more precious as a result of these plans, and the lurkers at the forefront need to use it as a starting point to infiltrate the entire river system on many levels.
In addition to the information on policies, civilization forces, and military level, which are needed by the Republic, other information such as star maps, technological directions and current conditions, biological species and genes, etc., are also extremely important to the elves;
In short, they just want to use this treasure and learn more about it while hiding themselves.
For example, if the 'carbon-based life' expressed in the lingua franca is the most common choice in the legendary universe, how much similarity is there between the various civilizations that belong to the same 'carbon-based' civilization, and do they also express genetic information through the form of the parent star creature?
This is important because the information will have a direct impact on the level of modification required in the future, which can speed up or slow down the part of the New Civilization Project that is related to the body.
For example, what kind of environment are other non-carbon-based organisms conceived, and in what form do their bodies and intelligence exist and are maintained, and how are they different from the 'pseudo-ice life' on the four guards?
This information can certainly bring more choices and adaptability to the 'New Civilization Project', but it is also closely related to the scholars' curiosity.
The curious group actually has warriors, and they want to know what kind of things those creatures who are born in the form of plasma, liquid, metal, and other earth and stone crystals, and whether they can bring them some help in their cultivation.
~~~~~
At the end of the meeting, Nesta, as the spiritual leader of the front-line body, gave Aisshara a a separate explanation of the current situation.
"The so-called 'group of strong people in the dark' is indeed not a serious force, the 'pitch black' conveyed by the beastmaster represents the meaning of darkness, concealment, lurking, and deep, while the 'strong' also has emotional representations such as domineering, plundering, pride, and controlling the fate of the weak;"
"Based on the exploration of their shallow networks, combined with the Elven language to make a translation of Xindaya, then they can also be called 'Yin Ba Group'."
"Poof! Haha Yinba Group. Is this your Sindaya? ”
"Hey, I'm down to business, listen quietly and don't interject, okay?"
"Okay, you go ahead~"
"All in all, this is a criminal syndicate, mainly engaged in the trafficking of addictive drugs, protected animals, and intelligent races, and occasionally transforms itself into interstellar bandits, interstellar mercenaries, and also operates some illegal and even criminal entertainment venues that do not conform to the laws of the river system."
"The Great River Council has offered them a bounty of 1 billion 'Annihilation Coins', but no one has yet figured out the location of their bases and how many bases they have, so they haven't been able to get the bounty;"
"And where we're lurking right now, it's supposed to be one of those integrated bases. All customers who come are only allowed to enter through the group's private channels, and are absolutely not allowed to leave the outer 'camouflage belt', and all outsiders, and indeed most of their own employees, are not even aware that the external camouflage of the base is in the form of a black hole; ”
"That said, our captured humans will definitely be dealt with, but it's unclear whether they intend to wash away their memories or simply destroy our flesh."
"Can the project still be carried forward?"
"Yes, I've done a bit of tricks in terms of fertility methods and cultivation values before, even if they want to dispose of our bodies directly, they will definitely do it after we have enough individual limits."
"Well, I see. According to your plan, quantity should be a very important factor, right? ”
"Yes, there are nearly 5,000 tons of our bodies in the base, and since most of the material was compressed in the bones when it was made before, it can be quickly split by expanding this part in the short term, and borrowing their resource supply to form three thousand sub-adult human individuals;"
"By reducing some of the density of the substance and filling in functional inscriptions as an aid in strength, it should be possible to expand another 30,000 sub-adult bodies;"
"Further, if the high-level caster uses a small number of cells, and the cutting-edge caster uses molecular fluids to control more matter to form a mimic body, then millions of human individuals can also be obtained in a short period of time."
"But the downside is that it's easy to expose, right?" Aishara pointed out the problem.
"That's right, the mimic body is equivalent to putting a layer of material shell on the cell, even if we simulate the re-image, it can't stand up to careful observation, and it is impossible to get through this method for the time being;"
"On the contrary, the former method will be more hidden, find some reasons such as 'growing too fast' to fool the changes in material density and weight, and usually be careful to hide the inscriptions in a deeper place, and when you need to cooperate with them for experiments, you will simply eliminate them all, and for the time being, there will be no big mistakes that cannot be concealed."
"But 30,000 individuals is still a little too small for a biological weapon, even if we can increase our own real material mass by absorbing their resources, and thus obtain more cells and molecular fluids to complete further individual division;"
"But for the time being, this can only be considered as a means of backdoor development in the medium and long term, and it is still too slow and inefficient for the short term to achieve the results we need now."
"Well, we get that."
Azhara nodded and continued,
"Although it is also necessary to use the resources of external forces to strengthen ourselves, according to the current plan, we must first confirm the identity of biological weapons, and use their channels to be sold in the form of 'artificial human goods', so as to obtain information from the outside world without exposing our own civilization and not joining the Council for the time being. To put it mildly, is it to increase the value of our goods? ”
"Well, it's ugly enough, but that's pretty much what it means;"
Nesta smiled and added,
"So, we'll have to find a way to get more of the bodies of the advanced and high-level spellcasters in, but any volunteers who are willing to go won't be able to take their entire bodies with them, and they must leave some of them in the headquarters as a way out."
"I'll arrange this, there are many compatriots of the same generation or juniors who actually want to go out and have a look, but the key to the problem is to enter the channel, how do we send this part of the substance in?"
"I'll solve this, for the time being, 30,000 split places are barely enough, and I will find a suitable way before all the students are enough."
"That's fine," said Azhara in reply, then muttering, "but there is one more thing I would like to hear from you; ”
"What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter if the weapon is a combat weapon, but what if it's used as a different type of commodity? For example, the kind that is humiliating, or that makes them feel humiliated, is it to bear? Is it resistance? Or how? ”
Hearing this, Nesta was stunned for a very short time, because he had hardly thought about it.
The proposal to 'be sold as a commodity' was made by him on the basis of the safety and concealment of civilization, and was approved by the Council as a whole at this level;
But now that I think about it, there is a lot of uncertainty for the frontline participants, who knows what kind of customers they will encounter and what kind of bad tastes they will meet.
"Well, then I'll start creating a racial identity in terms of humiliation from now on, try to be as good as possible in mercenaries, security, soldiers, etc., and then deliberately create a few humiliation scenes and then complete self-explosion and counter-killing, so that they can form some kind of stereotyped thinking;"
"As for revenge in the future when we encounter unbearable situations, all we want is the identity of 'excellent functional artificial humans' and make a name for themselves, and more faults like humiliation and cleanliness will be forgiven."
"Okay, then you can try it, don't try to drill into the camp in group battles, how much information can the big head soldiers have access to?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"A meticulous personal guard, a soothing companion, and a faithful butler who can keep secrets. Aren't these all good classes that can be expanded, richer than the contact areas of interstellar soldiers? ”
"That seems to be the case? Okay, then I'll give it a try."
"Nesta?"
He was suddenly stopped when he just got up, and when he turned back in confusion, he saw that Aishara's doppelganger was looking at him with his legs crossed, quite playfully, and asked in words,
"How are you going to play the role of a good companion who soothes the soul?"
Good guy, I'm waiting here.
"A couple of guys in my body seem to be interested in alien species. Split them up and fight for it? ”
