"Lord Lin Xu, is there a way? However, the lack of basic industries, even if you want to make up for it, it is not an overnight thing! Not to mention that they now don't have enough people to develop basic industries from scratch. Nan Zhu was puzzled by this.

"Have you forgotten the abilities of those who are supernatural? If you only use your abilities to improve your strength, the benefits to the development of civilization are limited, and sometimes they may even be an obstacle. But if the ability is also used as a kind of productivity, it is not a good industrial accelerator to accelerate the development of industry. Lin Xu reminded.

"Ability as a type of productivity? I understand. Nan Zhu suddenly realized.

The Strait Settlement is located in a narrow strait.

It faces the sea on three sides and the land on one side.

The direction of the sea is a high cliff, and few mutant creatures in the sea can climb up the smooth stone wall, so in fact, the strait settlement needs to be defended only by the attack of the mutant creatures on the land side.

This is also the basis for the existence of the Straits settlement.

On the edge of the cliff near the sea, there are many open-air taverns here.

It's a tavern, but it's actually a small stall with a few tables, a bit like the food stalls of the 21st century on the planet.

And because of the lack of supplies, there are not as many food stalls as there are to eat, and there are very few drinks.

Lately, Dove has often come here to drink to drown his sorrows.

The 1,000 rifles per day are far away, and the time for the fire ability to arrive is also far away, so it's no wonder that he is depressed.

Sometimes Dove wonders if he will be stuck in this task for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to complete it.

Thinking so, Dove drank wine and watched the huge mutated creatures that sprang out of the sea from time to time, while playing with the flames on his fingers.

His fire burning ability has grown more proficient, but he has never been able to increase his ability.

He had heard that the Abilities that came with the Cataclysm were able to improve their abilities as they became proficient and used.

But he found that his abilities couldn't be improved, no matter how skillfully he wielded them.

It's as if he's stuck at this point, as if the system is clearly telling him that the only way to improve your abilities is to complete the task.

This also made Dove more and more depressed.

Not far away, Lin Xu walked slowly, and the nanobot with special abilities was generated in Dofu's body, and when he noticed Lin Xu's arrival, he instantly became much more active.

Dove was suddenly shocked, and he felt as if his flame was burning a little stronger at this moment.

It's just why it's getting stronger.

Before he could figure it out, Lin Xu had already sat down in the seat opposite him.

Dove looked up suspiciously, looking at Lin Xu, who was uninvited on the other side.

"Invite me for a drink, and it's yours." Lin Xu said, I don't know where to take out a piece of printing paper bound together, and put it in front of Dove.

"Who are you?" Dove stared at him warily.

At the same time, the flame in his hand was put away, but he was ready to attack at any time.

"Boss, have a drink, the same as his." Lin Xu greeted.

Soon, a large glass of wine that looked a little inferior was placed in front of Lin Xu.

Dove frowned the whole time, looking at Lin Xu for some reason.

Lin Xu picked up the wine glass with more interest and tasted it, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"It really doesn't taste good." Lin Xu shook his head.

"It's nice to have a drink." Dove looked at Lin Xu's casual appearance, and gradually let down his vigilance.

"yes, thank you for the treat." Lin Xu smiled and nodded to Dove, but he didn't touch the glass of wine again.

At the same time, the figure of the whole person disappeared in an instant.

Dofu, who just wanted to say that he didn't plan to treat himself and let Lin Xu pay for himself, almost bit his tongue in an instant.

Turning his head to look around, he made sure that there was no Lin Xu around, and the cold sweat on Dove's forehead had already come out.

After thinking about it, he finally slowly picked up the material that Lin Xu put in front of him.

I just turned a page, and my eyes couldn't open in an instant.

That's because it describes how to use Doff's fire ability to increase the temperature of steelmaking and make it more efficient to forge gun barrels.

With the help of fire, even in the absence of a lot of basic industries, it doesn't mean that the barrel can be forged faster.

At the same time, as mentioned above, you can use various abilities to speed up the creation of various production lines.

The types of abilities mentioned above are found in the Strait Settlement, and as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always invite them.

And it's not a dangerous task, and it's not even expensive.

"I didn't think of it, I didn't think of it earlier." Dove's whole body began to tremble with excitement.

According to the plan on this material, it seems that the task of producing 1,000 rifles per day is not impossible to complete.

Three years passed in a flash, and the time came to set sail in 11512.

After three years of development, the entire Straits settlement has completely changed.

Under the guidance of Lin Xu's systematic tasks, a large number of people with abilities use their abilities to develop various industries.

In the absence of basic industry, it is hard to rely on the effect of abilities to restore the level of technology to the way it was before the cataclysm.

And even in some ways, stronger than before the cataclysm.

As a result, the ambitious Straits settlement began to expand outward.

Of course, this expansion is not simply about restoring the civilization that once existed.

A large part of the internal reason is that the strait settlement is too small and lacks resources for further development, so it can only expand outward.

Coupled with the fact that the people also expected the dividends of the expansion, a vigorous counteroffensive began.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in another settlement.

The Apocalypse Clan, Xino, was secretly inspecting the situation in the settlement with a somewhat ugly face.

Just now, he already knew about the settlement of the strait thousands of kilometers away and began to expand outward.

Although the rules of the two sides before the game have already stipulated that they are not allowed to snoop on each other's territory.

But there is such a big movement on the side of the Strait Settlement, and the expansion of the Strait Settlement can be seen in space, how could Sino not know.

And now he is looking at the settlement on the top of the mountain he is responsible for, although under his guidance, a lot of supernatural people have been cultivated, and under the leadership of these supernatural people, the mountaintop settlement has completely gained a foothold, and it is no longer the precarious appearance of the past, but it is still a lot worse than being able to counterattack.

"How the hell do humans do it?" Shino walked down the streets of the hilltop settlement, crowded with pedestrians but no one noticed his presence.

Several dependents who followed him looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to answer at this time.

"Is it the Apocalypse Elemental that is worse than their nanobots?" Shino muttered to himself.

The so-called Apocalypse Element, just like the nanobots created by humans, is the element created by the Apocalypse to assist them in various actions in the low-dimensional universe.

At present, the abilities in the mountaintop settlement rely on the apocalyptic element given to them by Shino in their bodies when they use their abilities.

Just as Lin Xu gave the Strait Settlement an ability, the nanobot used the ability.

"Let's go, go and see him." Shino finally sighed and made a decision.

"Lord Shino, we haven't lost yet." Some relatives couldn't help but say.

"No, we've already lost." Shino's face was not very good-looking, but he still admitted it calmly.

The Apocalypse Clan has its own pride.

Failure is hard to accept, but they won't fail to admit it.

In this way, Shino soon led a group of dependents to the vicinity of the strait settlement.

Lin Xu, who was hiding the figure of the Skylark with optical camouflage in the sky, also discovered the arrival of Sino.

"Lord Lin Xu, didn't you say that you can't peep at the screen during the competition?" Nan Zhu lay on Lin Xu's back and said metaphorically with the peep screen when playing a real-time strategy game.

"Let's go out and have a look." Lin Xu was also a little strange.

It wasn't until he saw Sino, looked at Sino with a complicated face, and admitted that he admitted defeat in person, that he understood that Sino was here to admit defeat.

"I wonder how you won, obviously you don't have an industrial base, why do they even have tanks?" Shino pointed down, swarming across the plains, sweeping away the cluster of tanks of mutant creatures.

It wasn't until Lin Xu took him to visit the situation of the strait settlement that Sino suddenly realized.

However, after suddenly realizing it, although Sino admitted his defeat, he was very unimpressed by Lin Xu's way of winning.

"Use abilities as production, not weapons, and that's your approach? It's very whimsical. But this can only work in the specific situation of the present, and if it is a civilization with a well-established industrial base, this kind of cleverness is useless. Whether it is an apocalyptic element or a nanobot, this kind of assistance with high-dimensional characteristics should still be used where it should be. ”

"Where should it be used, where is it?" Lin Xu was puzzled.

"The place where you chase the path to ascension, whether it is the apocalyptic element or the nanobot, comes with high-dimensional powers, and understanding these two forces as much as possible and using them to find the way to ascend to the higher dimension is the most important thing to do, rather than using the ability of nanobots to help build an industrial base." Shino persuaded with a bit of bitterness.

It's like seeing someone making farming tools out of top-quality steel, rather than making a sword that sharpens iron like clay.

"It's too easy to find a path to higher dimensions just by understanding the apocalyptic elements and nanobots, and you can find a path to ascending dimensions, right? Ascension is so simple. Lin Xu said with a smile.

"Because it's not easy, it's important to put in more effort instead of being distracted by superfluous things." Shino continued.

Lin Xu nodded, he already understood, it was obvious that this was the difference between the two concepts, the difference between the Apocalypse Clan and the human concept, just between Lin Xu and Xinuo, it was extremely obvious.

"So the Apocalypse Clan has established the Gods and Demons Arena, giving countless races the ability to use the Apocalypse Element, and through their use of the Apocalypse Element, observe whether there is a way to ascend the dimension?" Lin Xu thought about it, and finally roughly understood some of the reasons why the Apocalypse Clan established the God and Demon Arena.

"That's true." And Sino admitted it calmly.

"However, the Apocalypse Element was originally created by your Apocalypse Clan, and when it comes to understanding the Apocalypse Element, you should know best, right?" Lin Xu was puzzled.

"It was created by the Apocalypse Clan, who had just begun to fall from the high dimension, but not completely fallen, and it was the back hand left by the Apocalypse Clan for itself, which contained the secret of the Apocalypse Clan's return to the high dimension. It's just that after we finish the fall, although we can continue to control the Apocalypse Element, we can no longer fully understand the Apocalypse Element. Because we who are low-dimensional can no longer fully understand us who were once high-dimensional. Shino's expression was not very good-looking, but he still explained to Lin Xu.

"Return to the secret of the high dimension, no wonder you are so obsessed with the God and Demon Arena." Lin Xu finally said suddenly.

"But from now on, what we need to study, in addition to the apocalypse element, is also to add your human nanobots." Shino thought for a moment and said.

"In nanobots, is there also a secret to the higher dimension?" Lin Xu was curious, because he didn't know anything about it.

"Human beings are now high-dimensional creatures, so this is inevitable. In fact, when the Gods and Demons Arena was first established 10,000 years ago, human nanobots also participated, but later, with the departure of humans, we replaced the rewards evolved by the nanobots in the Gods and Demons Arena with the Apocalypse Element, and only retained the Apocalypse Element as the only way to evolve various rewards. In retrospect, it was a bad decision. Shino sighed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the information contained in the nanobots about the high dimension may or may not be more than the apocalyptic element.

After all, the Apocalypse Race is only a high-dimensional race in the past, but humans are the current high-dimensional race.

It's just that he would definitely not say this kind of thing in front of Lin Xu.

"Now that I've won, can you tell me what a perfect high-dimensional creature is?" Lin Xu thought for a while and asked.

"It is impossible for a truly high-dimensional creature to exist in a low-dimensional space. High-dimensional beings can only exist in the higher dimensions, and even if they cast a projection into the lower dimension, it is only a projection, and it cannot be an ontology. And although some of your ontology is already in a high-dimensional state, you can continue to move in the low-dimensional space. Sino looked at Lin Xu and explained for him.

"So, a perfect high-dimensional creature is a high-dimensional existence that lives in a high-dimensional and is no longer able to enter the low-dimensional space?" Lin Xu said suddenly.

"Yes, normally speaking, at the moment when the entire human race collectively ascends, you should follow the race and ascend together to become a perfect high-dimensional creature, but because you were too far away from the race for various reasons, your ascension process was infinitely extended." Shino continued.

"Infinitely elongated!" Lin Xu repeated.

"Yes, but the process of ascending is irreversible, even if it is a slow ascending process, one day you will complete the ascending, this time may be thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, before the ascension is completely completed and one day you can no longer enter the low-dimensional space, enjoy this last time that belongs to the low-dimensional creatures. Sino looked at Lin Xu and said with emotion.

"Is there a way to speed up the process of complete ascension?" Lin Xu thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, using as much high-dimensional power as possible can speed up this process, and the more your body adapts to the higher dimensions, the faster it will transition to the perfect high-dimensional being." Shino explained.

"I see." Lin Xu nodded slowly, suddenly realized.

He now finally understood why he always felt that as he interfered with the higher dimensions more often, it would now become easier and easier for him to interfere with the higher dimensions.

This is because his body is becoming more and more adaptable to the higher dimensions.

Once one day his body completely adapts to the higher dimension, he may directly fly up in place.

Although this time, as Sino said, may take tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

But you have to pay a little attention.

Lin Xu didn't want to find a human yet, and one day he suddenly flew up by himself.

The high-dimensional universe is much wider than the low-dimensional universe, and if you fly to an area that humans have never set foot in, it will be even more troublesome to find humans in the higher dimensions.

"What will you do with this civilization?" Lin Xu finally inquired about the fate of the civilization below.

"Normally, they are the failure of the Arena of Gods and Demons, and if they have the ability to move away, I will allow them to migrate, but they will lose their eligibility to soak in the sun, and their home planet will become fodder for the starry sky fish. But now you've won the game, so their fate can be decided by you. Shino looked at the remnants of civilization below who were still struggling to survive and expand their living space.

It's like a god looking at mortals from above, with no sadness, no joy in his eyes, and no emotion.

Obviously, when he was talking to Lin Xu before, he also had mood swings.

It can only be said that for the Apocalypse Clan, what can make them show their emotional side is probably only human beings in this universe.

"I'll decide, then don't disturb them, let them continue to live and reproduce here." Lin Xu thought for a while and said.

"You humans are always like that." Sino looked at Lin Xu with incomprehension in his eyes.

"Isn't that bad?" Lin Xu asked rhetorically.

"It's time for humans to adapt to their own identity, you are indeed from an ordinary civilization, but you have no relationship with ordinary civilization for a long time." Shino shook his head and said.

"I really like the feeling of always being a human being. Speaking of which, I'm a little curious, your Apocalypse Race, is it a natural high-dimensional race? Lin Xu thought for a while and asked.

"Yes." Shino replied unabashedly.

"Then can I ask, why are you reducing the dimension?" Lin Xu still didn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"I don't know." Shino replied with a shake of his head.

"I don't know?" Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this answer at all.

"Yes, it's not clear, we have no memory of this at all, not the whole race. Therefore, we suspect that we actively erased the relevant memories before the dimensionality reduction, and we don't know why we erased the relevant memories, but the memories that we erased during the high-dimensional period are not what we are capable of recovering now. Shino said with a gloomy face.

Lin Xu nodded, not asking anything.

Later, the two friends left the planet together, which had lost its meaning by the end of the game.

At the edge of the galaxy, the starry sky fish that Shino grazed still swam between the planets on the edge.

These planets are all several times the size of Earth and look comparable to the size of a starry fish.

It's just that it's all potholes now, and there are huge gaps on every planet, which are huge gaps that can be clearly seen in the universe.

Some of the gaps are about the size of the Earth.

It looks like it's been gnawed out by some huge being.

Lin Xu looked at the starry sky fish that was swallowing something with its mouth, and he already understood, it was obvious which starry sky fish it was gnawed out.

"You created this fish, right?" Lin Xu asked.

"Yes." Shino replied.

"What did you create this fish for?" Lin Xu said curiously.

"Transportation." Shino replied in a simple and understandable way.

"Transportation? All right. Lin Xu nodded and understood.

Perhaps this giant strange fish that can sail in curvature is like a horse for the Apocalypse Clan.

It's just that they can also make spatial jumps, so why do they use this thing to travel?

Lin Xu looked at a spatial jump channel that Sino waved out casually, and resisted the desire to complain.

"What is this?"

"It's one of the arena's arenas, where a showdown between civilizations is taking place, so you can check it out if you're interested. Of course, it's mainly the people who are hosting this competition who want to meet you and talk to you. The conversation we just had has been passed through the Apocalypse Clan's psychic network to everyone, and she seems to be very interested in your words. Shino explained.

"A showdown between civilizations." Lin Xu was indeed moved.

He really wanted to see with his own eyes how the so-called showdown between civilizations was going on.

At the same time, he is also very interested in the spiritual network of the Apocalypse Clan.

I can't help but sigh, it is worthy of the high-dimensional existence of the past, even if the dimensionality is reduced, it is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse!

In this way, bidding farewell to Sino, Lin Xu put away the Skylark, and directly took Miss Qiu, Nan Candle, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao through the spatial jump channel that Sino casually opened.

At this point, Lin Xu had to sigh again, the technical level of the Apocalypse Clan was also above his existing technical level.

After passing through the spatial transition channel, the five of them were thousands of light-years away when they reappeared.

This is an ordinary galaxy that looks a little unremarkable, but around the galaxy, there are more than a dozen starry sky fish, as if they are eyeing every planet in the galaxy.

However, Lin Xu's attention was not on these at all.

Instead, he was immediately attracted to a planet in the galaxy.

Because that planet is so special.

It seems to be a planet, but on top of this planet, there are phantoms of several planets, as if several planets are folded together, layered and piled up.

"This is the way to fold the planets in different positions in the universe together by folding space?" Through the high-dimensional perspective, Lin Xu saw through the essence of the phantoms of the planets at a glance.

But it became more and more admirable.

It can pull different planets hundreds or even thousands of light-years apart together on a spatial scale by folding space.

Lin Xu had never heard of it before.

"So this is the arena? Pull different planets into the same arena for a duel? Nan Zhu also exclaimed.
