029, [Solar Crisis Part I]
Many years later, when Asitaya was no longer young, he could always remember the evening when he stepped on the execution ground, the blood-colored light on the faces of the people of Shurima, and the spectators could no longer hide their despair and anger, but the dying man had a smile in his eyes, and he thought that perhaps it was the closest Shurima had come to destruction.
……
029. Two major projects of preliminary construction
"When you wait, remember to upload the information I have compiled now to the central main computer, remember, don't make mistakes, this is a summary of my years of experience in Kamigawa, and the information about the Ascended is the most important."
Azir glanced at the white-robed staff, and he emphasized again, "Don't make a mistake!" ”
"Rest assured! Your Majesty! ”
The young man didn't look a few years older than Azir, his eyes were sparkling, and he looked very energetic.
In the past few days, the young people in the Academy of Sciences have noticeably become more energetic, and it seems that the changes brought about by Azir's coming-of-age ceremony are not just his own name.
Since Azir succeeded to the throne, others have called him from the original "Your Highness" to the current "Your Majesty".
In the past, as the crown prince, of course, people would show respect for Azir, but that respect was only superficial, and sometimes they still felt uncomfortable with this strange prince, because the things he suddenly came back to do were far beyond the knowledge of the people of Shurima, almost directly putting their most fearful memories there, and then pinching your neck and forcing you to look.
People didn't trust the prince, but Azir did what no one thought of him.
The impact of the appearance of the Ascended is still very large, since the sight of the solar disk, those who originally rejected the technology of the superior civilization, perhaps even they themselves did not notice the changes in themselves, and a considerable part of Shurima began to pay attention to something that had been forgotten for many years - the starry sky.
Some people have begun to look up at the Milky Way at night.
Since Azir succeeded to the throne, his performance on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony has often been talked about, and people have discussed his revealing form on that day.
Azir has an optimistic attitude towards this kind of topic and wants to guide it, and the more discussed and known the topic of the Ascendant, the day will come and people will accept its existence in their hearts.
Then, think of it as glory.
However, Azir added a special restriction.
"Don't say it's a chicken anymore!"
The dean of the Academy of Sciences found Azir, who has been almost immersed here these days, and even deals with government affairs in a separate office prepared for him.
"Your Majesty, according to your orders, the supercomputer project is already being prepared, it's just ......"
Since he took the throne, all the people around him have become much more restrained, but Azir does not feel any discomfort, nor does he feel that there is anything wrong with it.
He wants the Ascendant project to land in the Shurima civilization, then he can't do it alone, although the technical level of the Royal Academy of Sciences can't meet his requirements, but this is already the representative of Shurima's highest level of technology.
It's not a bad thing to make these researchers nervous.
"It's just something, you just have to explain the problem you're experiencing." Azir said.
Now standing in front of him is no longer the previous dean, Azir's successful succession seems to have changed a lot of things, he has become the idol of the new generation of young people, but some of the old people's thoughts have been ingrained in their hearts.
In particular, some old people who have been working in the Academy of Sciences all the year round, the more knowledge they have and the more scientific research projects they have mastered, the more they can realize how big the gap is with the superior civilization, and the fear of the unknown in their hearts is far greater than curiosity.
So soon after Azir succeeded to the throne, a group of people handed in a petition to return to their hometown, and Azir did not force them to stay, giving them a large pension as a sign of recognition of their hard work in the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The new president of the Academy of Sciences said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us for our stupidity...... We have studied the knowledge you have brought back with Kamigawa, and we have been studying it day and night...... But it's too advanced, and many of their knowledge of the laws of physics is much beyond our imagination......"
Azir listened quietly as he talked about his problems, and there was no reproach on his face, because everything was expected by him, after all, Kamigawa could not be described as "a few times ahead".
The head of the academy looked embarrassed, he really didn't want to say such a thing, as if his faith in this life had been severely attacked and almost collapsed.
"Your Majesty, you know, most of us are atheists in this line of work...... But when confronted with the knowledge of Kamigawa, I always felt like I was studying theology! ”
Azir smiled softly when he heard his words, and said, "It's a normal thing, you don't really need to be embarrassed about such a thing, you must know that wherever the people of Kamigawa go, every cosmic civilization will worship them as gods...... In fact, it is almost the same as the description in mythology. ”
"Compared to you, I really think we're like savages, no, primitive single-celled creatures, you can learn about them in twenty years and make your own way......"
Saying that, the dean of the Academy of Sciences sighed heavily, his original background was also a low-level people of Shurima, and only he knew how hard the road of study was, and now he thought that Azir, who was just a young child, went to Kamigawa, and stayed for twenty years, and the hardships were probably only known to him.
"Kamigawa's knowledge is already profound, and the reason why I was able to learn it was because of the influence of the environment, you don't have to be arrogant, originally I imagined that we would be able to initially master their superficial knowledge in hundreds or even thousands of years, and it would be good to make progress little by little." Azir said.
"Your Majesty, do you really think we need a thousand years?" The dean was silent for a moment and asked.
Azir made a rare joke and teased him: "Are you scared? ”
"It's not."
The dean of the Academy of Sciences shook his head with a wry smile, "I just feel ...... not being able to see with my own eyes the era that His Majesty has depicted It's a pity. ”
In fact, he is not the only one who has this thought, even the scientists who are still young Shurima will think this way, they all want to see that era with their own eyes, but the gravitational pull of reality is too heavy, and they have not even stepped into space.
However, they did not have faith because of this, but were full of hope to entrust such hopes to future generations, to pass them on from generation to generation, and one day, their children would see it for them.
In addition to the Ascendant project, Azir is now most concerned about energy, that is, the energy needed for Ascension.
Stellar Energy.
This is the second project he wants to do -
Stellar technology research.
