40,000 Years of Cultivation

Seeing Zhuge Jinglun licking the corners of his mouth with a salivating appearance, Li Yao was really sick and his scalp numb.

"Hey, what is going on with you, an ‘old friend’?"

Li Yao dragged Long Yangjun and walked behind Zhuge Jinglun, whispering, "For such a bad joke, is he really a lunatic!"

"Just kidding, don't be so serious, how could he really be a psychopath? As for madness, he is probably a little mad, he is one of the most weird meditators in the empire, so he was not caught by Wu Yingqi.' Fuel' ah-even Wu Yingqi can't bear his madness, for fear that his chaotic brain like a whirlpool will contaminate other'fuels'."

Long Yangjun also whispered, "But don't you think he is very interesting, just like the test just now, who else is more suitable for dealing with the holy alliance than a lunatic?"

"Where is it interesting!"

Li Yao has nothing to say, think about Long Yangjun, too, he likes to make friends with some crazy mentally abnormal people-her only friend in the ancient sacred world, Yan Liren, is also an out-and-out lunatic ?

Wait, uh, there seems to be something wrong. In Long Yangjun's eyes, is his "close friend" the same kind of person as Yanliren and Zhuge Jinglun?

Before Li Yao could ask for an exit, Long Yangjun took two steps quickly and got on the same lifting platform as Zhuge Jinglun.

"Now take you to see Dean Zhuge's favorite experimental field."

Long Yangjun smiled and said to Li Yao, "I promise to open your eyes!"

The lifting platform descends slowly, and it should descend to the depths of the island, at least a few hundred meters below sea level.

When the lifting platform passed through the layers of black floors and appeared in a vertical transparent pipe, when the surrounding area was bright again, Li Yao was indeed taken aback and was deeply shocked by everything he could see.

He didn't expect that he could see a town with beautiful scenery and a paradise in the depths of the sea, under the archipelago!

That's right, it is indeed a seemingly ordinary and peaceful town. Although it is not large in scale, it is "small and complete". It is surrounded by blue sky and white clouds and green mountains and green water simulated by a three-dimensional light curtain. Large tracts of genuine and fertile farmland, rice paddies crisscross, chickens and dogs hear each other, and farmers work hard to cultivate.

In the center of the town are rows of low buildings, which are simple but spotless.

However, the people living here seem to work in an orderly manner, but their expressions are focused to the degree of cold and indifferent, and they rarely communicate with each other. Everyone concentrates on their work at hand, rarely Whispering, there is no singing and laughter.

They are like some kind of... machinery in human skin, acting in accordance with the instructions of the program.

There are still many residents who don’t know if they have completed their work or have no work assigned at all. They all sit uniformly on the open space in the middle of the town, staring up at the virtual sun on the dome.

The temperament and performance of these people were completely different from the mentally ill patients Li Yao just saw in the open air. His thoughts were turned and he instantly speculated: "These are all Saints?"

"Yes, a total of one thousand two hundred and twenty-five, they are all the holy allies captured in the Empire's counterattack."

Zhuge Jinglun said braggingly, paused, and then explained, “Most of them are ordinary soldiers and civilians. They have not received special spy training, and they don’t know how to simulate emotions, so there is no need to identify them. If you recognize it, you won't lie to cover up.

"In fact, they are very gentle and hardworking people. As long as they master the way to get along with them, getting along is very pleasant."

"Isn't it?"

Li Yao said in disbelief, "Will they not yell and scream like the most fanatical believers?"

"If a higher-level commander enters instructions into their minds, of course they will."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "But the 1,225 holy allies in this town are all the most basic-level executors. They only obey orders, but they will not create orders by themselves. Since there is no commander to order them To attack and kill people, of course they will not do it, they can only follow their instincts."

Li Yao nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Even if they don't take the initiative to kill, why would they... take care of such a town, and honestly cultivate, build and smelt, I seem to have seen a magic repair shop. , They can do such a delicate job?"

"I just said that this is their instinct. If the Shengmeng is regarded as a huge'bee colony civilization', then they are the'worker bees' in the colony. They were born to work."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "To them, work is as fatal to them as women are to normal men. When a normal man is bored and has nothing to do, he can't help but want to go out and have fun, and these holy ally are imprisoned. Deep underground, when you have nothing to do, you can’t help but want to work. I only provide them with enough space and raw materials, and they do the rest by themselves. Let the flow go, it’s that simple."

"It's... incredible!"

Li Yao murmured, "These holy allies can open up a large farm in the harsh environment deep in the island, build their own towns, and perform very sophisticated magic weapon repairs, performing their duties in an orderly manner. , The lines are not messy!"

"Yes, Shengmeng people can be roughly divided into five major races of'Water, Wood, Gold, Fire and Earth'. Each different race has different talents and supernatural powers."

Zhuge Jinglun pointed to the silent work of the Shengmeng in the town and explained to Li Yao, “These farmers are the Mu people. They are good at farming, grazing and picking, and they are proficient in all the knowledge related to agriculture and animal husbandry. provide food.

"Those who are leveling the land are the Tu people. They are the prospectors, architects and miners among the holy allies. They can accumulate enough experience and reach a certain level of cultivation. Then they can be upgraded to'planet transformers' who are responsible for transforming new ones. The livable planet provides fertile farms and pastures for the Mu people, and even more importantly the "remains prospectors". Most of the technologies of the Saint League are derived from the prehistoric relics. It is conceivable that this profession is critical.

"The people who are repairing magic weapons and smelting agricultural tools are the Jin people. As the name suggests, they are good at smelting, repairing and manufacturing magic weapons. They are the magic weapons experts and arms dealers of all the holy allies, even the giant ships that are several kilometers long. made.

"Those who sit in the square basking in the sun are the Huo people. Don't think they are lazy. This is just a break between training sessions. They are the most professional, brutal and fearless fighters. They are the main force of the Holy League army.

Zhuge Jinglun pointed to the east, west, south and north, and introduced the holy alliances scattered everywhere to Li Yao one by one.

Li Yao waited for a long time, did not listen to him to continue, could not help but ask: "Golden wood, water, fire and earth, is there another aquatic?"

"There are no aquatic people here, there can be no aquatic people."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "Shuizu is a race among the holy allies who is specialized in communication, telepathy, issuing orders, and higher-level thinking skills. Shuizu people have two typical professions. The first is a commander, and the second is a secret spy. For example, Said that the researcher we just exposed, it is very likely to be a holy league aquatic.

"Understood, the Shui nationality is a holy ally who has advanced logical thinking ability and a certain degree of telepathy, and can simulate and control emotions at will. It belongs to the core class, like flowing water, connecting the four major ethnic groups of gold, wood, fire and earth. Together, form the Holy League together.

"Because there are no aquariums here, the Jinmuhuotu four clans Saint League talents are so obedient. If an aquarium is sent in, maybe more than a thousand Saint League members will riot tomorrow."

Li Yao remembered the holy ally riot he had personally experienced in Shenwei Prison, and he was deeply impressed by Zhuge Jinglun's words.

"So, how are the races of the holy ally people divided, and what is used to determine which race a holy ally belongs to?"

Li Yao thought about turning around and asking for advice humbly, "Is there the possibility of crossover and conversion of races, for example, a holy ally has the talents of fighting and refining at the same time, just like the cultivator's'complex type'?"

"Of course it is possible. Many secret spies have both psychic and combat talents."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "As for the ‘worker bees’ of the holy league at the grassroots level, they have a set of special rituals and testing methods to test what kind of talent they have awakened and which part of their gene fragments have been unlocked."

"Awakening talent, unlock genes?"

Li Yaodao, "I've seen it when I was studying the information of the Saint League members. Most of the Saint League members' abilities are acquired innate rather than acquired, but I still don't quite understand it. Can Dean Zhuge explain it? Some basic skills can be inherited, I can understand, but skills such as smelting, planting, and land reclamation can also be inherited?"

"of course can."

Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly, "The cubs of zebras will run for half an hour after they are born, and the offspring of cats will naturally climb trees. Most animals can pass on their survival instincts to their offspring. Isn’t it easy to understand that genetic genes have passed on a lot of technology and knowledge from the prehistoric era?”

"and many more-"

Li Yao frowned, "We are also the inheritors of the ancient civilization. There is no essential difference between our physiological structure and the Saint ally. Why can the Saint ally can easily awaken this kind of... gifted magical powers through genetic genes, we can't. ?"

"Because each other's direct ancestors are different."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "Our direct ancestors were later created by the Nuwa tribe. They are relatively mature and complete works, which are tentatively called "sapiens", while their direct ancestors were originally created by the Nuwa tribe, relatively crude. The test product, let's call it the "clay figure" or the "niman"."

"Clayman?"

Li Yao said, "I've heard the legend of Nuwa creating human beings. It is said that Nuwa used wicker to wave muddy water at first, and the muddy water all over the sky fell on the ground and turned into small mud spots. Each mud spot is a small human being."

"Yes, this is a more poetic and abstract statement, but myths often reflect reality. The first early humans did have something to do with mud and water."

Zhuge Jinglun said, "Among the 13 prehistoric carbon-based races, many races referred to early humans as ‘mudta people’ or ‘nianta’s,’ which translates to ‘gray mud people’."
