Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

Chapter 99: Today is different from the past

"You are indeed different from the previous Lords of the Temple!" Gray seemed to mean something.

"Oh?" Lin Ye was a little curious after hearing this. He asked, "Why do you say that?"

Gray glanced at the engineer beside him, who understood what he meant and took the drawings and tools to continue repairing and debugging the transmission device.

He walked to Lin Ye and continued in a low voice:

"You are not from Aier, so you don't know much about this planet and this civilization's etiquette that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

Each lord of the temple has the greatest power and can control the entire planet.

But except for the annual year-end festival, they rarely appear in front of the public.

Even if he showed up, he was wearing a suit of armor and his face couldn't be seen clearly.

For ordinary people like us, the Lord of the Temple is an extremely distant existence.

The main link between the people and the temple is faith."

When he said the last sentence, Gray emphasized it.

Lin Ye on the side naturally noticed the change in his tone, so he frowned: "Speak directly if you have anything to say!"

Gray thought about it for a moment, and finally explained in a cryptic manner:

"The disadvantage of this kind of inheritance is that once the people's faith collapses, their trust in the Lord of the Temple will fall to the freezing point.

Even though he still maintains a respectful attitude on the surface, his heart has begun to waver.

If someone deliberately incites it at this time, it will definitely cause a large-scale rebellion!"

Gray's words caused Lin Ye to fall into a brief silence.

Indeed, as the chief engineer said, the Ayr civilians who find themselves deceived for hundreds of years will definitely begin to rebel against the temple's decrees and laws.

If a thoughtful person like Samson wants to incite rebellion, it is not a problem. After all, he has the deepest foundation of power.

And once a fight breaks out, most of the city's 700,000 people will participate in the fight.

However, Lin Ye's answer was a bit surprising.

He looked at the city in the distance and responded calmly:

"Then let them make trouble!"

"Your Highness?" Gray's eyelids twitched. He thought he heard wrongly.

"There is an old saying in Blue Star, it is better to block and suppress something than to channel it." Looking at Gray's confused expression, Lin Ye explained with a chuckle.

"The collapse of faith does not happen overnight. Living in a closed temple, having no direction for the future, and the accumulated disappointment along the way are all factors that defeat the people.

If the suppression continues, not only will there be no solution to this phenomenon, but it will also cause more serious consequences, such as the rebels being supported by weapons and equipment.

It is better to try to break and then build again, let the people express their demands and get rid of the shackles of faith, so that there will be new hope!"

"You mean... you want reform?" Gray was very surprised. He did not expect that these words could be said by the Lord of the Temple who was at the center of power.

He took a step back and knelt on the ground again:

"Using the temple as the center of power and letting the Lord of the temple control the power is the inheritance of the El civilization for tens of thousands of years. If there is no faith, the consequences..."

Lin Ye raised his hand to interrupt his advice and said seriously:

"Inheritance is dead, but people are alive. Today is different from the past. Do we still want people to abide by the rigid rules of the past in the cruel apocalypse?

What's more, you just said that I am not an Aiel, and I don't need false believers!"

Gray wanted to say something more, but a group of people came from a distance, forcing him to swallow his words again.

"Dear Lord of the Temple..."

When the group of people saw Lin Ye, they immediately ran up to him, bowed their heads and knelt down to salute.

"Get up!" Lin Ye waved his hand, then looked at Gray, "Who are they?"

"They are all my repair technicians, who have been transferred from various positions to repair the teleportation point as a matter of urgency!" Gray responded.

When the repair technicians heard these words, they immediately started making noises:

"Your Highness, you may not know that the floating structures in our temple were developed and manufactured by Grandfather Gray, and he is still responsible for maintaining them!"

"Yes, yes, the weapons and equipment used by the Temple Guards were also designed by his father!"

"If it hadn't been for this disaster, Mr. Gray might have accomplished a great career!"

"Mr. Gray leads the scientific research team of the ancestral temple. I heard it is very powerful!"

When Lin Ye heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I didn't expect that this person, who looked ordinary, had such abilities.

If this was placed on Blue Star, he would be an honorary academician of the United Nations Academy of Sciences!

Seeing Lin Ye's happy expression, Gray wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly defended:

"Your Highness, I'm making you laugh. It's all their nonsense. I don't have these abilities!"

Lin Ye waved his hand: "Okay, why are you so modest in front of me? I just didn't expect you to come over and repair the transmission device yourself!"

As soon as these words came out, Gray's mood immediately dropped, as if he had something on his mind.

"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have actually lost my status as a scientific researcher a long time ago..."

While speaking, he looked at the Holy Temple suspended under the dome and let out a long sigh.

"Why?" Lin Ye was puzzled.

"I developed reliable and stable weapons, strong and durable light armor, but on the day of delivery, I was kicked out of the scientific research team. To the people of the Ibrahimovic Chamber of Commerce, I have no value!"

Gray's tone sounded calm, but the burning anger could be seen in his eyes.

Is it the Ibrahimovic Chamber of Commerce again?

This guy Samson is really capable of causing trouble!

Lin Ye looked in the direction of the city and said coldly:

"Don't worry, soon there will be no Ibrahimovic Chamber of Commerce in this city!"

Gray turned his head and looked over, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

The Ibrahimovic Chamber of Commerce is the most powerful organization in the temple, and it is very difficult to deal with, but the meaning of Lin Ye's words seems to be to uproot them.

This is really unbelievable!

However, he was shocked and Gray didn't ask for the reason.

Lin Ye glanced at the portal being debugged and asked, "When will the portal be repaired?"

Gray thought for a while: "It will take up to three days, because in addition to the repair and debugging of the transmission point, there are also accessories in the main control room that need to be repaired and replaced!"

After that, he said a little strangely: "Are you in a hurry to go to El Star?"

Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, I want to lead a team to the insect nest and give those insects some gifts!"

Gray: "Perhaps you can use the power of the teleportation array on the surface of El Star!"

"Teleportation array?" Lin Ye immediately became interested.

Gray nodded and explained in detail:

"The teleportation arrays on the surface of El Star all use energy arrays to extract energy from the earth's core.

If the core array is not destroyed by Zerg creatures, it can be detonated simultaneously, triggering a high-energy chain reaction!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye's eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, El Star also hides such a secret weapon!
