Chapter 397: Novelty and Seriousness

Until the time he said goodbye to the young man and left the shop, Jufang couldn't stop thinking about the previous conversation in his heart;

Giant Tooth is actually very confident in his own path philosophy, and all the results he has achieved so far in his practice can constitute quite convincing empirical experience.

However, this does not mean that Greattooth is willing to interfere with what others think, nor does it mean that he will blame others for what they think.

It had little to do with the fact that he was so reserved, but more out of uncertainty that he did not dare to assert whether the ideas that worked for him could be an unbreakable truth for the rest of the warriors;

In fact, from this alone, you can see the difference between the warrior and the caster on the road

For the latter, the mechanism by which the world operates is a certain constant rule, and in the process of understanding it step by step, they will anchor themselves to matter through the meditative body, and maintain their own consciousness independence through the means of independent thinking.

As a result, spellcasters can roam the sea of rules with relative recklessness, but until the imaginary "ultimate spellcaster" appears, they can only dance within the boundaries of the existing rules.

But for the former, the rules of the material world are only a reference on the road, they are the key to their own future, the door they need to pass through before stepping into the transcendental;

The warrior should find the best focus with himself in the material rules, and then combine it with his own beliefs, and then shape and strengthen the self-centered rules;

It can be roughly seen that there are too many idealistic and idealistic mechanisms on this path, and many seemingly identical 'topics' are often almost fundamentally different when studied, and it is almost impossible to form a class of universal solutions like the search process of the spellcaster.

Because of this, despite the discomfort in his heart about the explanation of the young man and the guidance of his mentor in the teaching process, the giant tooth here still retreated with a smile and decided to look at it more in the coming days.

Just as Giant Fang left the slightly crowded shop with this thought in mind, and returned to the street surrounded by clouds and mist, the majestic voice of Coldtooth came from not far away.

"Hah! Is Your Excellency the Great Chief ready to bleed? ”

With a distinct smile in his tone, the former chieftain's guard tipped as he waved his gripping hand.

~~~~~~~~

Putting aside the previous thoughts for the time being, although they were still chatting and talking nonsense together in the virtual realm not long ago, Giant Fang still walked forward as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and immediately stepped forward and hugged these old friends;

Immediately, he complained to Hanya, who was closest to him, as if he had really waited for a long time,

"It's too grinding, obviously when I first arrived, I said to let you come over quickly, just how long did it take to detour."

'Click, click, click.'

Hanya was holding a handful of metal skewers in each hand, each of which was strung with an inexplicable piece of meat the size of a meter, which was stretched out like two iron fans with an open screen;

At this time, he was casually tearing off a large piece from a stick in the group of sticks in his left hand and chewing, and after the tearing force disappeared, the stick quickly rebounded to the other side, and then made a loud 'pop' sound;

Then, while handing over the sign group in his right hand, Yeya said vaguely,

"Don't you see this? No, you can also taste it, and it's strange that it's delicious. ”

This is a kind of meat that Giant Fang has never seen before, but he has never been afraid to taste the unknown, so when he heard this, he took it and took a bite of it;

Immediately, he was attracted to his taste buds by the special spicy taste that filled his mouth, and opened his mouth and ate it cleanly with the metal skewer itself.

"Wow! It's delicious! ”

On the other side, Nighttooth and the other companions were also eating in their hands almost one bite at a time, their gluttonous mouths being stuffed to the brim at every moment, but it only took a few moments to swallow them all.

At the same time, each of them carried several metal buckets like oxygen tanks on their backs, and soft rubber straws extended from their shoulders to a straight line at the lower part of their necks;

As long as you bow your head slightly, the big elves such as Nighttooth can bite one of them at will, and then suck it violently.

There is nothing to say, these are the 'spoils' they have reaped along the way.

"That's not it, try this again, I bought you an extra set~"

As he spoke, a group of metal beverage cans more than ten meters wide were thrown over by Hanfang, and Jufang easily took it and sucked it up like his friends.

There are both dark and viscous drinks and transparent drinks with different shades of yellow and orange, but all of them have a stimulating sensation that hits the taste buds and provides the body with some energy when digested very quickly.

"What the hell? The taste is ok."

Smashing his mouth, the giant tooth will experience the flavor in it and say,

"Especially the black one, which has the richest taste... It tastes like thick porridge. ”

"Oh, that kind of meat just now is a newly developed genetically modified breed of rich energy, but the effect doesn't seem to be up to standard, so it was thrown out as a snack;"

After eating all the meat skewers in his hand and taking a sharp sip of the most mellow pale yellow drink, Nighttooth responded and said,

"And these drinks seem to be new things that the exploration team found not long ago..."

"Star Exploration Team?"

"Well, they found an ecological star on the outskirts of the control zone before, and when they were exploring, they happened to come across a strange black lake;"

Pointing to the hose, Nighttooth gestured to the dark, viscous fluid channel in it,

"That's it~"

"They brought back some samples, and I heard that the research institute had developed a refining method, and the products included these slightly more transparent liquids."

On the side, sometimes taking a puff on this straw, sometimes sucking on that straw, the relatively youngest wooden tooth then gave a more detailed answer,

"And it's also said in the news that if we had discovered this kind of thing a few hundred years earlier, we would probably have taken a different path of development."

"Oh? Why? ”

As he was questioning, Giant Fang quickly reacted, and then guessed,

"It's energy, right, in addition to filling your stomach, this thing feels like it should be able to be used as energy?"

"Yes, although it is not very efficient as an energy source, it does not only have energy value, but there are several types of by-products that have been identified as industrial value... Of course, it is not very practical now, so when the drink is finished with samples, it will not continue to be mined, and the planet will be included in the original ecological protection list, and it will develop and evolve independently in isolation. ”

Muya's explanation is very detailed, and he is already interested in this aspect of things, and he is also the main promoter of this trip plan, and wants to go to the galaxy to find these useful and useless surprises in person.

It is also true that with the gradual expansion of the explored star regions, although there are too many repeated phenomena or substances discovered due to the unity of the basic parameters and rules of the universe, there will occasionally be some large and small surprises in front of the elves;

Among them, there are not only the great joy that makes them make progress in a certain aspect, but also the joy that can become a low-level substitute for certain materials or technologies, and the small surprise that only has the value of broadening their horizons;

For example, the existence of the recently discovered ecological star, and the life samples on it, are in some ways a big surprise;

The 'black oil' and its appendages can also be regarded as the appendages of the big surprises, a series of small surprises and medium surprises;

In the process of such discoveries, the Republic is making more or less progress each time, and is looking forward to the day when 'the accumulation of steps will lead to a thousand miles'.

~~~~~~~

The conversation and the attempt at the new product did not stop there, and Giant Fang and several other friends who were a circle shorter than him had left the place where they had met before, and were now walking around Cloudsdale.

From time to time, they would patronize the various shops in this area while laughing with each other...

In it, they either eat and drink some new foods that they have seen and have not seen before, or experience some strange virtual and real products;

Occasionally, if they come across some too strange stores, they will either participate in person or quit after they have had enough excitement.

All in all, several elves, who were hundreds of years old, were playing happily like little ones in the process of laughing like little ones.

But that's not the point, after the joke, they finally remembered the goal of the trip, which is to complete the big purchase before going out...

In the previous planning, they will travel as many Republican districts as possible in the next ten years;

Even in their respective hearts, there is a faint idea of going farther away and experiencing the mission of the exploration team.

But whether you're going to follow a conservative plan or plan to go a little further, a suitable ship will be a necessity along the way;

Therefore, after that, they went to those more serious shops, ready to compare the soft and hard power of each team, and place an order to prepare a spaceship that is ready for use.

At present, the various public research institutes in the republic no longer easily undertake the design and production of specific products;

They have focused their efforts on analyzing, understanding, and reproducing the technology of the Great River System sent back by the lurkers, and in the process combining their own inherent inscription technology to integrate it at the functional and essential levels, especially wormholes and other projects.

The resulting civilian gap was simply delegated to schools and the private sector to fill it;

Anyway, for the elven society, under the condition that all the people have high knowledge and the productivity sinking is deep enough, it seems that it is not difficult to accomplish this;

And it turns out to be true...

The vast majority of projects from the private sector can now find appropriate solutions in the private sector, and the Republic as a whole is superimposed by this utility, and more experienced talents are reserved at the grassroots level.

In today's world, design-related work is generally undertaken by interest groups of different directions.

Their specific identities may be specialized associations formed by school students, or they may be self-formed by residents in their own communities or cross-community joint interest groups.

Depending on the difficulty and amount of the task, these interest clubs inside and outside the school will choose to complete the purchase order individually or cooperatively, depending on the difficulty and amount of the task, and reap the relevant honors and benefits arising from it.

In terms of product manufacturing, raw material supply, material processing, inscription endowment, intermediate transportation, etc., almost every residential community has its own single or multiple proud items;

When countless such communities have cooperated in reality and fiction, they can undertake almost all the production tasks from the private sector with almost no pressure.

That is to say, in addition to the high-precision instruments and weapons required for warfare, scientific research, genetic adjustment, etc., everything from civilian commercial spaceships to small bath towels can be obtained in the most normal civilian areas.

As a collection of the will of the whole, the military and political departments can play a role more in maintaining the order of the welfare and education systems, as well as the protection of waterways, the development of resources, financial regulation and control, the redistribution of taxes, and the supervision of virtual and real centers.

As far as the 'anomalous' is concerned, the communities in the realm are already equivalent to undeployed base vehicles, which will be able to lift the low-power operation that is now being maintained when needed, and then extend the structural components related to war and production like the Red Police base vehicles;

If, as long as they are sent to a star for deployment when needed, the overall quality of its inhabitants and the technical potential of the building itself will be enough to transform it from a residential area into a truly comprehensive fortress, and even further fortify the entire star over time;

Of course, if it were not for the encounter with a strong enemy that required all the soldiers to deal with, or the current situation of the need to carry out the great escape in the midst of the great evacuation, generally speaking, there would be no need to adopt such a mixed development of military and civilian;

Or, rather, it is a continuation of the habit of the Republic, in which the strange habits of certain individuals in the early years penetrate into the population as a whole, causing them to be willing to assume the worst of the situation, and then to take precautions beyond a certain convention;

Even after many years of experience, such precautions have been phased out before they can be activated, they still seem to enjoy it both as a whole and as individuals.

~~~~~~~~

In the virtual and real experience, after inspecting the soft and hard power of several design and manufacturing teams one by one, Juya and they completed the orders for spaceships and related accessories one by one in a short period of time.

Then, while muttering that they could do all this in the virtual realm, they continued to enjoy the real reality experience very insincerely, and waited for the order to be completed while shopping and eating.

The spaceship they were looking for was not complicated, it was nothing more than a high-speed shuttle ship with the ability to split and merge and transform

When the five-in-one is in one, the whole ship is required to have low latency and high speed when entering, maintaining, and exiting.

When separated, it needs to form an effective internal and external connection system with the elven armor, and can be freely transformed in the two positions of material and monohull;

Depending on the different needs, the separated hull should not only be capable of the plastic extension structure of the elven armor, but also maintain the function of the hull itself and perform the leap action with the armor;

The original intention of this design is to 'slim down' the elven armor, so that it can be more portable and easy to use without additional loads of redundant functions and structures other than combat, defense, and life support.

Therefore, in addition to endurance and stealth and other performance, this five-in-one spaceship has basically not been equipped with other inscription components that have nothing to do with sailing ability, such as additional attack and defense capabilities, etc., it is just a real 'high-speed shuttle ship' that can fly alone.

After completing the relevant design in the acceleration of the virtual realm, the giant teeth also placed orders in the virtual realm to bid for the manufacturing group, and soon collected the component undertakers in different categories;

It was also learned that including production, transportation, assembly and other steps, a total of up to two home star days need to wait;

In terms of price, because there is no obvious cost difference between a single ship and mass production, and because most of the government's Galaxy development operations have relatively high subsidies, and because Juya and others are wealthy people who can receive several salaries and bonuses at the same time;

Therefore, without going through any psychological struggle process such as gritting teeth and ruthlessness, they immediately determined this order, so that the manufacturing process was carried out in different regions of the home planet at the same time.
