Section 269 The dragon and the serpent rise from the land
It can be said that no matter what kind of race or civilization, parents have the same mentality towards their children. In order for the unborn child to have an "advantage" far over other children, Lan Keer would rather give up a short period of practice, and is eager to use the best things and methods in the world for the child.
Xin Yu can understand this, after all, the child is his, and he also hopes that the child can have a perfect start in life. But what he can't understand is why as the father of the child, he can't participate in the ranks of "prenatal education"?
Just like now, although Xin Yu is "idle and bored" and has nothing particularly important to do, he can't even stay in his room or even the yard, and was kicked out by his wife Lan Keer, saying that he was afraid that Xin Yu's existence would affect her "educational effect".
What makes Xin Yu even more puzzling is that his parents, that is, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, are not also "auditing" and even participating in "preschool education"? Why are they not afraid that the two of them will "teach their children badly"?
However, a woman's mind, even if Xin Yu has lived for more than a hundred years in his previous life, he has not figured out a reason so far, so he naturally doesn't know what Lan Ke'er thinks in his heart.
In fact, Lan Keer's idea is very simple, Xin Yu's husband is good enough in all aspects, and he is also full of positive energy, if according to the perspective that mental fluctuations can affect the fetus, Xin Yu's existence is definitely a "good example" for unborn children.
But the bad thing is that Xin Yu's law body, that is, the golden body that is integrated into the law of time, because of the lack of control ability, it often exudes a taste of "vicissitudes", although this feeling is not how bad it is, and it has no special impact on people, but Lan Keer is afraid that Xin Yu will not be able to control the "overflow" of the law energy for a while, and the child will be "gone", or because of the "disorder" of the law of time, the child will be born early and cannot be immersed in the "innate" environment for a long time, resulting in early birth and loss of "perfection" conditions for gestation.
As for Xin Yu's parents, although they are ordinary people who have no cultivation, among mortals, those who can live to be more than one hundred and twenty years old can already be regarded as "auspicious...... Well, even a ten-year-old "advanced maternal age" like Lan Ke'er herself can be regarded as "rare", but she is first an astrologist, and then a person who is about to become a mother of a child.
For astromagicians, especially for astromagicians who have already forged a golden body, the age of ten years is not to mention that it is still in the "infancy" period, but at least it can be regarded as the age of "flower bones". It's not that unusual at all.
And although Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are because they have been taking the health pills provided by Xin Yu for a long time and insisting on the exercise methods of ordinary people, they can still live healthy after the age of 100, but for ordinary people who have not practiced, no matter how good the external conditions are, no matter how scientific they exercise, they can definitely be called a miracle among miracles if they live to be more than 100 years old and still be so "alive and jumping".
In Xin Yu's previous life, in a world where medical conditions and material levels are so high, people who can live past 100 years old can already be called "birthday star" and "lucky star", not to mention that in this backward world, only astronomers who practice astrology, and they have to be the kind of high-level astronomers who have forged a golden body, can ensure that they can live without disease and disaster for a hundred years, you can imagine how "blessed" the couple of Qin Daqiang and Pan Guihua are.
And Lan Keer just wants to use the "blessing" of the grandparents of the unborn child, hoping that the child can be contaminated with such "good luck" and be able to have the "attributes" of "all evils and easy changes" after birth...... Do you think this kind of thinking is idealistic and feudal superstition?
In fact, even the astrologist Lan Keer, who respects facts and objective laws, will inevitably have to be idealistic in order for his children to have a better "foundation". This is also because there are no gods in this world that are worthy of her "worship" and "worship", and those "gods" that circulate in secular legends, as she once told Xin Yu, are all vain existences worshiped by ignorant villagers. And for astromagicians, such "wild fox Zen" belongs to the category of charlatans.
It is precisely for this reason that Lan Keer has not prayed to any god, if there is a god in this world that can make the vast majority of ordinary people believe in it, maybe Lan Keer will also put down the "shelf" of the star magician and become a believer in others...... Everything is for the sake of the child, and everything can be changed in the face of the child's future.
Speaking of which, Xin Yu may think that the astrowizards in this world are all "materialists" who respect "reality", and Lan Keer would never think that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua's "longevity" and "luck" can bring any beneficial changes to their children.
However, Lan Keer really thinks that "luck" is also a kind of "energy" and can be "contagious", so although it was a long time ago, the relationship between her daughter-in-law and her in-laws was not very close...... It's not that she doesn't want to get along with her in-laws, it's not that Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua have opinions about Lan Keer, it's just that "immortals are different", between Lan Keer and Xin Yu's parents, there are basically two kinds of "human beings".
First of all, Lan Ke'er is a strong star magician, although his son is also a powerful cultivator, but Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua watched Xin Yu grow up, and any huge changes in his son are only "insignificant" in the eyes of his parents. It's like now, if you follow the normal growth situation, Xin Yu, who is in his eighties, should also be a "white-haired" "old man", but in the hearts of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, no matter how Xin Yu grows, he will always be the "bear child" who was once "ear-raised" and "club-educated" by them.
But Lan Ke'er is different, because this daughter-in-law joined the family "halfway", and the first image to Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, this daughter-in-law is the kind of star magician who can fly to the sky and be incomparably powerful, the so-called preconceived, in the minds of Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua, this daughter-in-law is far from her own level.
Therefore, in ordinary interactions, although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very stiff, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua's hearts will always be "respectful and distancing" to Lan Keer's daughter-in-law because of the difference in "class".
Secondly, although Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua were born from the grassroots, they have been the most honorable couple in the Ocean Country for decades. Although the status in the secular world cannot be substituted into the astral realm, the so-called "dwelling and qi and nourishing the body", compared to the previous "spitting and chirping", they will inevitably cultivate the majesty of belonging to the "superior" in such a "high" position.
Although in front of their daughter-in-law, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua have never posed as the lord of a country and the majesty of the mother's world, and even because Lan Ke'er, the daughter-in-law, is from a big family in the astral world, she feels a little "high". Moreover, as in-laws, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua also did not pose as elders. However, the momentum that has been cultivated for a long time has given the two of them a unique taste of "rights animals".
This kind of "taste" of power is something that Lan Keer, who is used to in the free astral world, doesn't like it very much, so when getting along with her in-laws, Lan Keer often feels not very "comfortable", so the relationship with her in-laws is not close, which is natural.
However, this situation has changed significantly in recent years. Especially after Lan Ke'er became pregnant, because her upright big belly finally had a "human taste", Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua subconsciously ignored the fact that Lan Ke'er was an astromagician...... Because Lan Ke'er cast the alchemy body relatively early, she has always maintained the appearance of her early twenties, with a big belly, and there is no difference between ordinary Huaxin pregnant women.
In this way, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua's understanding of this daughter-in-law was "changed" all of a sudden, and they lost their previous "inferiority" in the face of astromagicians, and they were able to get along with Lan Keer's daughter-in-law calmly and naturally.
In addition, because Xin Daqiang has ruled the Ocean Country for a long time, and because of his age, although his energy has not declined too much, but dealing with his complicated national affairs is no longer such a slight burden for Xin Daqiang, so after the youngest son Xin Kong showed the atmosphere of a mature ruler, more than 20 years ago, after Xin Daqiang celebrated his 100th birthday, he gave up the position of the head of the Ocean Country to Xin Kong.
After living a "peaceful" life for more than 20 years, coupled with the fact that Xin Kong has more children and grandchildren, Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua have been teasing their grandchildren for so many years, and they have gradually refined the "taste of power" in their bodies. At least on the surface, they are just ordinary home-based old people.
In this way, she can't feel the strong "politician" flavor of her in-laws, and Lan Keer naturally no longer "rejects" getting along with her in-laws. Especially after being pregnant in the past two years, Lan Keer felt the warmth of the family that she had never felt before, and her respect and love for Xin Daqiang and Pan Guihua gradually became "normalized", and getting along with her was no longer "awkward".
Now that the two old people are helping to give her ideas, hoping to "cultivate" a genius grandson, Lan Keer will naturally not refuse their kindness, plus the "fortune" of these two "auspicious" is so profound, and the experience of "educating" the descendants of the younger generations is also very rich, Lan Keer will not drive her in-laws away.
Thinking of the unborn child, Xin Yu was still a little angry about being kicked out of the house by his wife...... Or maybe it's a little depressed, but it's also a kind of happy depression.
In an instant, Xin Yu remembered the other changes in the past sixty years, especially the development of the scientific and technological civilization of the Ocean Country, which made him feel very gratified.
Speaking of the development of scientific civilization, the changes in the maritime country and even all the human worlds on this continent in the past 60 years can be described as "dragons and snakes rising from the land" and "turning the world upside down".
Because Xin Yu has laid a good scientific and technological foundation and educational foundation for the maritime country, during the period when he did not devote all his energy to the development of science and technology, the entire maritime country has maintained the most advanced scientific and technological research and development level in the whole world under the impetus of capital power.
Moreover, with the advancement of transportation and communication technology, the maritime states now occupy more and more islands on the endless sea...... The increase in the land area has increased the number of citizens of the maritime countries. According to the data of the most recent census, there are now as many as 200 million legal citizens in the entire maritime state.
And these 200 million people are all talents who have been educated in the scientific system...... Although a small number of them have taken the path of astrology because they have the talent to practice astrology, they are also scientifically educated...... Such a large number of qualified talents is the source of impetus for the scientific development of the entire maritime country.
The current ocean country is not the "backward" scene of 60 years ago, it can be said that even compared with Xin Yu's previous life in the 21st century, no matter what aspect, the ocean country is not much worse.
In terms of communications, the maritime countries that have entered the information society have complete wired and wireless networks. Even because of the huge gravitational pull of this planet, the astrologers of the Ocean Country have replaced the underpowered rockets with their own abilities, and placed many satellites with various functions in the planet's low earth orbit.
Under such circumstances, the maritime countries can already claim to be "global," and with the laying of some other wired and wireless networks, the maritime countries can definitely be classified as the level of the information society in terms of information exchange.
Secondly, in terms of transportation, cars with internal combustion engines or even electric motors as the power source are common, and the paving of highways is very common. In terms of railway transportation, due to technological progress, although there are still some gaps compared with the high-speed railways in the previous life, the peak operating speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour has also reached the quasi-high-speed operating speed.
In addition, in the research of aircraft, because the propeller aircraft is limited by the gravitational environment of the world, it has not been able to achieve very fast practical conditions, but after the jet aircraft was launched, the aviation field of the maritime countries in the past 60 years has also developed a large Airbus into the civilian field.
In addition to transportation and communications, maritime countries have also made remarkable achievements in materials research, precision machining, industrial design, etc., with the passage of time, 60 years later.
In terms of materials, a variety of new types of materials are even richer than the earth in Xin Yu's previous life, and in the field of precision machining, because of the development of CNC technology, it is not worse than the previous life, as for industrial design...... Hehe, there are so many talents, coupled with the "forward-looking" outline given by Xin Yu, it will not be impossible to develop
