Turning into another cabin, the cabin is just as cold, not unsettling, but peaceful. The hut was empty, except for a round ball in the center of the room, about two meters in diameter, like an oversized gray yoga ball.

"Try it. Yang Mingtai said to Li Xiang.

Li wanted to know what the eldest brother's attempt meant, and the moment he stepped into the room, he felt a rich ultra-low frequency wave, and the source of the wave was this big ball. The outer skin of the big ball is composed of a layer of unconscious ultra-low frequency waves, but the inner layer of matter shocked Li Xiang, inside are tens of millions of fine consciousness particles, none of which can exceed the size of a grain of sand, but each grain has a sense of oppression on Li Xiang's consciousness waves, just like a group of arrogant kings, instinctively releasing the danger signal that no one should approach. Fortunately, these fragmented soul fragments did not have independent consciousness, and if a combined force was formed, it would be enough to stir the ultra-low frequency waves that Li Xiang probed into the sphere into powder.

"This will be your studio. Yang Mingtai looked at Li Xiang.

"These soul fragments belong to Ju Jiao, and I feel a lot of soul pressure. ”

"These are very small parts of my soul that I have collected in the past few years, and they are a little broken. No matter how small it is, it is still a divine soul. You have to try to get their buy-in and put them together like building blocks. ”

Li Xiang replied very dryly, "yes".

Leaving the hut, Yang Mingtai continued to walk forward with the three of them. The vegetable plot surrounded by a fence is not large, but only five or six points. Yang Mingtai pushed open the fence door and made a gesture of please. Mingshu and Li wanted to enter, and they were immediately shocked to close their mouths, where is this a small vegetable field, it is clearly a big farm that cannot be seen at a glance, and the common grains, fruits and vegetables in their hometown are all available here. Ditches, wells, old-fashioned agricultural machinery, there is no shortage of everything.

"Would you like to experience rural life in your hometown?"

"Okay. ”

Yang Mingtai went to cut some rice, threshed the rice with a thresher, and used a rice mill to remove the husks. Mingshu went to pick some eggplants, loofahs and cucumbers, Li Xiang picked some greens, and Sean plucked a radish. While the three of them were washing fruits and vegetables at the well, Yang Mingtai packed the rice stalks into bundles and moved them into the farm hut.

There is an ordinary rural stove in the house, and there are two large cauldrons on the stove, one for cooking rice and one for stir-frying, and there is a hole in the middle with a copper teapot. When everyone entered the house, Yang Mingtai had already put the rice in the pot and was bending the rice stalks in his hands into a P-shape. He ignited the rice stalks with a fire sickle and threw them into the hearth.

"Can you use fire here?" Li Xiang and Mingshu said in unison.

"This is not Jiuqiu, of course you can make a fire. Don't be idle, the little sister went to chop vegetables, and the ninth brother came over to twist the rice stalks. Yang Mingtai explained while showing Li Xiang how to twist the rice stalks into a P shape: "The moment you step into the fence gate, you have already left Jiuqiu and entered an independent space. This space may be in a stone, or in a drop of water, or in the void, or on another planet. The imaginary world you saw just now, you can understand it as a spatial node, and the real imaginary world is composed of countless independent spaces relying on spatial nodes. ”

"Space station?" Li Xiang asked while "wrestling" with the rice stalks.

"Earth space station? Well, you can understand that way. We are constantly developing new independent spaces to connect to this node. Of course, if Eighth Brother was here, he would definitely say that we entered a copy of the game through the portal. I prefer this statement because the inspiration for independent space really comes from the games of my hometown. ”

"This kind of replica structure is really simple and straightforward, and it is easy to be accepted. But can we get rid of the influence of this preconceived mind and build a completely new structure?" Li Xiang finally bundled the rice stalks into a P-shaped shape and threw them into the hearth. But he didn't screw it very strongly, and as soon as he entered the hearth, it dispersed, and the flame was so great that the rice stalks were quickly burned out.

"I wouldn't give up on this simple and easy structure without a proven structural alternative. I agree with innovation, but only if it's robust. Just like rice stalks, if they are not tied tightly and the fire is too strong, it may cause a waste of energy, which may affect the taste of the rice, and may even burn the rice. You'd better not introduce concepts such as parallel space and time dimension to the world, those things are too brain-burning, I can guarantee that more than ninety percent of the visitors who want the world in the future are ordinary people, I don't want normal people to come in, and when I go out, I will become a mental patient who can't distinguish between reality and illusion, and has an extremely chaotic memory. Yang Mingtai threw a bundle of bundled rice stalks into the hearth, and the tongue of fire climbed up the rice stalks without hurrying or slow, and the fire was even.

Li Xiang looked at the hearth thoughtfully: "But ......"

Yang Mingtai interrupted him very resolutely: "There is nothing, at the beginning, my purpose in building this world was to make the world better at best, and to make the lives of ordinary people more fulfilling, unlike now, there is a long life, drinking all day long and waiting for death." It's good that you're young and have an active mind, but I hope you can remember that don't think about being maverick and innovating, innovating is just about living better. ”

Li Xiang moved his mouth, but he didn't say "but" in the end, he actually just wanted to say, but I didn't want to do brain-burning innovation. But he also had to admit that the eldest brother's reminder at this time was timely, and he didn't want to do it now, and he may not want to do it in the future. The words of the eldest brother are equivalent to formulating a principle for him, all innovation must serve life.

Ordinary rice, a few vegetarian dishes that are not exquisite, the eldest brother's cooking skills are indeed loose and ordinary, and the fried eggplant is even a little mushy. But this is indeed the "most homely" meal since Li thought of Jiuqiu. During the meal, Yang Mingtai told them that this would be a retro tourist farm, and Jiuqiu people could come here to experience the rural life of their hometown, and they could also apply for jobs here. There will be many copies of this, and people can earn contribution points through work, and they can also consume contribution points to become consumers of this world.

"It's no different from back home. Li Xiang said.

"It's really no different, it seems like it's just a contribution value instead of a coin, but that's just a façade. The biggest difference between it and its hometown is that it is not an independent world, it is a vassal world of Jiuqiu, an extension of Jiuqiu's life, and a perfection of Jiuqiu's civilization. ”

"For example?"

"Here you can do things that Jiuqiu can't do, such as fire, and planting. ”

"In the wandering poem, there is a group of people who are doing the same thing in the 'Godforsaken Land'. ”

"There are always people who can't adapt to life in Jiuqiu. These people in the bitter cold land have to pay a great price to create a life free from the god of the tree. What we want, we just need to change our minds. Maybe with this world, some people will move closer to us. ”

Li Xiang nodded, thinking that the world might really be able to resolve some social contradictions, so that some people were willing to give up confrontation with the tree god. "But fire and planting alone can't solve the substantive problem, in my hometown, people plant or make fire in order to solve the most basic survival problems, but Jiuqiu's soul cultivation technique has been able to meet people's living needs, and it is more convenient. The farm is not very useful, at best it can be counted as a life experience. ”

"You're right, experience is one of the main functions of the world, we will also have shopping malls, entertainment centers, stadiums, tourist attractions, what kind of consumption items the old family likes, we can copy it, and we can also bring in things of different races. With multi-dimensional experience, enrich the life of Jiuqiu people and promote the cultural integration of all ethnic groups in Jiuqiu. ”

Li Xiang understands this truth, the old family sightseeing, watching or participating in sports events, listening to songs and chasing stars, are all expressions of pursuing spiritual life. Movies, novels, and games provide ways for people to experience another life through their minds. The biggest problem of the Jiuqiu people at present is the extreme lack of spiritual life, although they have a lifespan of thousands of years, they live like the walking dead.
