Chapter 50: Journey to the Center of the Earth VII

[The contents of the existing Yelnia Knowledge Cubes have been loaded-]

[Civilization Progress Survey has been updated—]

At this time, Xia Xiu, who was doing whatever he wanted in the library of the [Yernia] clan, heard the sound of [Adam]'s prompt in his mind, so he stopped his hand that was playing with the knowledge cube, and his spirit quickly flipped through the information summarized by [Adam].

"The Yelnya tentacles are not only sensitive to touch, but also have special neural structures that allow them to "read" information from knowledge cubes. Once linked, knowledge flows into the minds of the Yelnia members. Using this new ability, they began to collect and study these cubes of knowledge, which opened up a whole new realm of science and technology for all of Yellnia.

They begin to apply the above knowledge, from simple tool-making to complex mechanical engineering. This also contributed to their rapid rise to prominence in the Inner Earth civilization, becoming a pioneer of technology and culture.

The [Tyrannox] saw the Yernia use the speed and efficiency of the Knowledge Cube, and felt threatened. At the same time, they believe that the Knowledge Cubes are their "sacred relics" that only the Mechanic Believer has access to and interpret.

In their eyes, the actions of the Yerniya are a desecration of knowledge and the soul of the machine, so the root cause of the war between the two races is not only the flesh and the machine, but also the struggle for knowledge, and the two sides will do whatever it takes to fight for these precious knowledge cubes in the Inner Earth - not only for material gain, but also for the domination of culture and faith. ”

Xia Xiu kept flipping through the relevant deciphered texts, and he had already finished understanding the civilization class of Yernia, a highly intelligent species with the characteristics of animals and plants, and the five classes of wise people, whose social structure was based on cooperation, and there was a relatively obvious gap between the rich and the poor and the inequality of power between each class.

Of these five estates, the first and foremost is the class of the wise, which is the highest ruling class among the [Yernia] people.

Wise men are revered not only for their high level of knowledge and intelligence, but also for their unusually developed bioradar organs, which are able to perceive frequency ranges far beyond the average human level. They are navigators, historians, philosophers, and decision-makers in the inner world.

This was followed by the artisan class and the guardian class, which dominated the creation of all the buildings and crafts of Yernia. They have harnessed the unique mineral resources of the Inner World and the meticulous insect-like skills of the Inner Earth to create countless magical buildings and exquisite crafts. They have a high level of skill in the use and conversion of "core sun" energy.

The Guardian Estate, on the other hand, serves as the guardians of the Inner World, and is responsible for keeping the race safe from possible intruders of the Underground, as well as other possible threats. Their bioradar capabilities are sharper than average, and they are able to quickly pick up changes around them.

Then there is the peasant class, the so-called fungus farmers, who are responsible for maintaining the healthy growth of the leaves of living things, which are the source of food and oxygen in the inner world. They are also proficient in using aerosol particles to provide nutrients to crops, creating an efficient agroecological system.

The peasant class is the largest class of [Yellnia], they do a lot of the groundwork, they shine for the [Yellnia] race, if the whole [Yernia] is compared to an insect world, they are the class that needs to bend down to be seen clearly, [Yernia] is held up by them, they are the foundation, they are the carpet.

Finally, there is the apprentice class, made up of the youth members of [Yellnia] who are learning and practicing various skills to prepare for future roles in society.

Apprentices can become a member of any of the above classes through rigorous training and learning.

Logically speaking. Apprentices are not productive and should be at the bottom, but because they are responsible for the future of the whole [Yernia], they enjoy a unique character, they can be wise, stupid, insensitive, good, depraved·····

Before they found their own role, most of the apprentices enjoyed relative light.

[Yernia] does not reproduce by traditional fertilization like ordinary creatures. Their life originates from a plant known as the "flower core of life". The core of this plant, the "flower core", splits open when it matures, releasing a mass of life essence.

When the members of the [Yernia] want to reproduce, they will fuse this mass of life essence with their own genetic information to form a small life form, which will hatch into a new member of the [Yernia] tribe in a special hatchery, which makes it difficult for them to form a family system as a family unit, and the young [Yernia] is supported by the whole society.

The overhead flower is a unique symbol of theirs, not so much a flower as an organic "culture tank".

These flowers collect and adsorb surrounding nutrients and provide the nutrients needed for the bacteria that parasitize them. These strains provide a variety of magical functions for their race, and the peasant class is responsible for providing nutrition for the "children" in the hatchery, which is akin to taxes in another sense.

One of the things that Xia Xiu cared about the most was their education, and he was keenly aware of the deformed structure within [Yelnia].

The entire [Yelnia] tribe believes in a behaviorist planned education, and they stimulate all the young ones through a logical concept called "reinforcements", and they compete with each other as if they were young apprentices.

The so-called is not limited to [primary enhancements] such as food and economy, but also [secondary enhancements] such as social enhancements, activity enhancements, token enhancements, etc. There are also [positive reinforcers] and [negative reinforcers].

Negative reinforcement does not equal punishment, for example, the entire [Yernia] social level tacitly sees the peasant class as a lowly job, which is a [negative reinforcement].

[Yernia's] life can only determine their class through a class trial, and after this trial, their class is fixed, and there is no chance of turning the tables.

This is undoubtedly a very cruel thing, and the circulation of classes is so fixed.

The young Other, at an early age, live in the shaping of the behaviors prescribed by the wise men, gradually shaping all the logic of their behavior by gradually approaching the desired target behavior and giving positive feedback on each step.

This method could have been used in education to help students grasp complex concepts or skills gradually, but under the planned educational goals and the entrenched class pyramid of [Yernia], it became an even more bizarre and strange structure, and the whole contradiction began to become more and more prominent as they fought the increasingly fierce battle for knowledge with Tyrannox.

So, for the wise men [of Yernia], all they have to do now is to shift the contradictions.

"It's ironic that the young Other, the most precious resource of the community, is being shamefully wasted by anyone."

The Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven said this in his heart, and at the same time, he continued to flip through the Great Law of Yernia, which had already been deciphered.

- The Great Law of Yelnia——

Epilogue:

The Great Code of Yernia aims to build a stable, harmonious and progressive society that will ensure the longevity of our civilization.

————————————

"The investigation of the environmental and ecological structure of the Inner Earth is now carried out by the expedition team, and we can learn about the social structure and organization, culture and values of the Inner Earth through these knowledge cubes that they use as a medium carrier."

At this time, after reading the "Great Law of Yernia" and the relevant records of Yelnia, Xia Xiu stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin and continued in his heart.

"In a state of non-veil isolation, races with transcendent factors will inevitably develop into a pyramid structure that relies on absolute strength to maintain power, but Yellnia, because of the cruelty of the inner world, the threat of Tyranox, its own physiological characteristics and other related factors, began to develop in the direction of the [theory of natural rights] that may occur in the state of veil isolation. Their legislative core is only in the intermediate stage of transitioning to the transcendental system, and because they cannot form a large family system, they avoid too much unnecessary internal friction internally, and the aspirations and priorities of their leisure class will always be biased towards the all-round development of their own race.

Moreover, because of the existence of knowledge cubes, thaumaturgy has not been thoroughly developed in the center of the earth, but on the contrary, the strange technology of the center of the earth has been fully developed, which is a kind of redevelopment based on lost knowledge. Their economic system is also very strange, this economic system relies on knowledge cubes, and the blank knowledge cubes become the general equivalent, while the distribution of wealth is determined by the wise, and the visible hand regulates everything, determines the direction of production, and because of its own particularity and the social situation of the non-family system, this regulation is undoubtedly substantively effective.

However, even in this social structure, they still face the most fundamental contradiction, that is, the conflict of interests between groups of different social statuses, especially in societies with clear social strata. Internal exploitation and the dualistic divide are objective, the value that one group provides to another group more than it derives from this exchange, and the lack of the necessary resources, opportunities or power to rebel against or change the situation is not an established fact that can be concealed and denied by the Grand Code. ”

Thinking of this, Xia Xiu suddenly asked [Adam]:

"[Adam], report on the trip."

[The corresponding information for the race has been uploaded to the Celestial Database, and the relevant decision-makers are going through the records, and if nothing else, they will soon convene a Civilization Council, at which time you will also participate in the Council to decide the future of the civilization.] You can take advantage of this time to choose a Yernia as a symbol, and through him, continue to observe the development of the civilization, and intervene as appropriate-]

"I have chosen to observe the signs, I already have a goal."

[The goal?] ]

"Don't you think he's funny about the Yernia tribe called the Melting Clan?" Xia Xiu's eyes showed an inexplicable deep luster, and he then said in his mind, "What do you think Eden and the Resolution Assembly will do with these two Inner Earth civilizations?" ”

[Based on the current situation in Terra, Yellnia and Tyrannox are not suitable to appear on the surface.]

[Adam] replied in cold, cruel words.

"Yes, they are not suitable for the surface in any sense of the word. Even if they were allowed to appear on the surface, they wouldn't be able to keep their full beard in full view, they would have to leave something behind. ”

The fourth sword-bearer of Heaven agreed with [Adam's] statement, and continued with deep meaning in his tone:

"Now Yellnia and Tyrannox are like a huge powder keg, and they only need a proper spoonful of opportunity and greed, so that their words are incomprehensible to each other, so that they have reason to start fighting each other, and to show their tyranny frankly; Add a spoonful of ambition and ideals, and it will perpetuate their tongues, and cause iniquity and wickedness to breed, in which wickedness may plunder, and oppression and deceit will not leave the market. Finally, with a spoonful of extravagance and comparison, all fairness will be turned into bitterness, the fruit of righteousness will be turned into a sage, the brave rebels will burn civilization to the ground, and only the flame will purify everything. ”

"It is easier to destroy than to create."

"And the role we need to play is just a lawyer."

The air conditioner in the office was broken and there was only one fan.

But I could only continue to work, it was too hot, and then I had a heat stroke as expected, dizziness, fatigue, and a little nausea··········
