"Let me just say that with the thoughts and purposes Axel is showing now, he has no intention of 'eternal life'."

At this moment, Ian suddenly realized that from what he saw and heard in the imperial capital, as well as from all the decisions made by Axel since he came to power, he could not see that he was a person pursuing immortality.

But everything that happened to Isengard proved that Axel did have some 'purposes' for the body of his descendant.

The elders have a purpose for the bodies of their descendants, and the first thing that comes to mind is obviously to seize the body. This is also an enduring legendary villain purpose in Terra.

But now it seems that Axel is not that simple. He probably just regards the flesh of Isengard and others as a precious 'research sample'. After all, blood with royal blood and parasitic monster blood is still very rare, and it is also very useful for controlled experiments.

"It seems that we have to pay attention to the purpose of the Gnosis Academy and Axel. This is not something only related to Isengard, but a major event related to all of us."

He was sure in his heart that Ian's appearance to the outside world was to think for a moment and then raise his head.

The white-haired lord stretched out his hand, and he took Steward Moda's hand. A cold feeling came, making the old man startled slightly, but he did not withdraw his hand.

"Moda."

Ian said: "If it were you in the past, you would not be able to feel the cold. Your nervous system and brain no longer feed back these 'realities', but instead let you fall into a false illusion."

"But now, with the soul, you can perceive these 'real and objective environmental changes'... Which side do you think can represent the true self?"

"Moda. This kind of thing has always been proved by the free mind. If you think that the original self with brain lesions caused by depression is the real self, and the self restored to normal by the artificial soul is a kind of 'distortion'... …Then I can restore you to your original state now.”

It wasn't a threat or intimidation, Ian was simply stating a choice.

Steward Moda winced subconsciously - after realizing this, he suddenly realized and nodded with a wry smile: "Sir, you are right. There is no point in worrying about which one is me... The one I am thinking about now is me. …No matter how much you worry about other things…”

The old man shrugged. Obviously, as a former noble steward, he knew very well what "ineffective work" and "ineffective thinking" meant.

Moda's body has not fully recovered yet, and the artificial soul also needs to rest stably.

Roland took care of his father, while everyone else followed Ian back to the Lord's Mansion.

"Guardian Moda is the 'example' needed for artificial souls. He will be the first 'example' in our territory to carry an artificial soul in a human body. We strive to find all problems in him alone, and Let him solve it alone.”

In the conference room, Ian said to Adebert: "During this period, I need you to be more patient and observe the various symptoms that appear on Manager Moda. If everything goes well, after correcting the possible errors, you can take stock of the entire situation." The territory has been popularized.”

"Um."

Adlbert responded softly. He was no stranger to this kind of thing, and he didn't think there was any big problem with the new version of the artificial soul he had developed based on past research results.

He just fell into the thinking of Manager Moda before: Which one is the real me, body or soul?

For the third energy level, the answer can be 'it's all me' and merge into the light of the heart... But for ordinary people, having a soul will cause trouble in life, right? For example, the body is stimulated by hormones and becomes enthusiastic, but the soul is still thinking calmly or even indifferently. This contradictory feeling will inevitably bring disharmony to people.

Steward Moda is an ordinary person, and he will not think about such boring questions, but Adlbert is a smart man, so he will be attracted and troubled by these subtle philosophical issues.

Ian could tell what his researcher was thinking at a glance, and he just shook his head.

In the final analysis, this is something that can be solved by adding a function... The perception of the artificial soul is biased towards collecting information that the brain cannot collect, such as the surrounding sounds, changes in the environment, and the brightness of the light, and then summarizes it into ' Instinct perception' or 'instinct intuition' will suffice.

The human brain is inherently equipped with this function and will unconsciously collect and process surrounding information, but humans can only perceive part of it - then let the soul handle these problems and enhance 'perception' and 'intuition'. Ok?

In this way, when the meditation method becomes popular, all people with artificial souls in Xiahui's leadership may have the ability to "awake before the autumn wind moves"!

Even, when you reach a high energy level, you may even be able to find a more mysterious "the way of sincerity, you can predict it"!

After all, at a high energy level, the soul can detect those so-called mysterious and mysterious murderous intentions and aiming, the feeling of other spirits condensing on itself... It is hard to predict, but it is easy to dodge sniper bombs and assassinations.

But Ian didn't intend to stop Adlbert from thinking just like that. The other party is a real genius, who knows what he can figure out on his own?

What the prophet has to do is to guide these people to think, not to block their possibilities.

"Are artificial souls going to be popularized so soon..."

And Scott sighed.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide a major event like artificial souls from his deputy. Scott has known about this for a long time. At this moment, he doesn’t know whether he is yearning for it or a little worried: “In this way, when the spiritual weapon core and the temporary card Hades are If it is put into practical use, the warriors who guard the territory and the old people who naturally die of old age can also stay there."

"Although it is a good thing, what about inheritance? Can the soul of the deceased still control his own property? How is voting rights calculated? Can they interfere with the outside world?"

"There are still too many problems."

Scott's ideas are very comprehensive and practical - as one of the actual managers of Xiahui Ling, he thinks about various ethical issues.

"Then establish a new law. Let us manage and formulate a new law with the absolute right to interpret it entirely in my hands."

Ian glanced at Scott, and then motioned for him to look at Adlbert: "The Old Shadows are the makers of this new law. I am the lord who empowers the new law, and you, Scott, you will will be its actual manager—remember, you are my deputy and first leader after I leave.”

"Sometimes, you don't need to 'ask questions'. You have to think about how you want to solve the problem and then turn it into a rule."

It is obviously wrong to say that Scott is the best candidate for the actual leader of Xiahui Ling.

But the leadership team with Ian as the core...Adelbert has a strong IQ but a weak political quality, Qingchao has a decent fighting ability but has an average brain, Farr has less seniority and is older, and Roland is also a young man with limited seniority.

After all, Scott is a normal person!

As for talent...

Ian has always believed in one thing, and that is to give anyone enough experience so that he can accumulate confidence and experience, and at least he can become an excellent person.

The top talents need to look at talent, while excellent managers need more training.

And Scott has this qualification.

"Are you afraid? Suddenly you have so much power?"

Sitting on the chair, Ian looked at Scott with a half-smile: "In the future, everyone in our territory, including you, will have artificial souls implanted, and everyone will get this power - this will bring A brand new future, different ethics, new rules and social concepts...Are you afraid of the difficulty of this kind of management?"

The Iron Civilian adjutant was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No."

"My lord, I long for it."

He bowed to Ian earnestly and said from the bottom of his heart: "What you want to bring us is a better world, where ordinary people have power, and even people like Manager Moda can be saved even if they are brain dead - —How could I be afraid? I am extremely yearning for it!"

"I even hope that my parents will come to Xiahui Territory and let them implant this brand-new invention... Ian, sir."

He raised his head and looked directly into Ian's eyes. There was no doubt in Scott's amber eyes: "The world you want to see, I also want to see."

Ian was silent for a while.

Although he knew that Scott would not be afraid, he did not expect that the other party would agree with him so much and yearn for his decision...almost to the point of fanaticism.

But it is not the fanaticism of a true fanatical believer. Obviously, Scott has determined through his own thinking and years of observation that Ian is indeed the person he wants to follow.

Such trust... can be said to be a kind of faith.

"Um."

In the end, he could only hum softly: "I know."

"That's why I allow you to follow me. Otherwise, I would rather go alone."

Everyone has their own ideas about artificial souls.

Old Farr's opinion was simple: "Sir, look at my age..."

The ideas of young people and old people are completely different.

If Albert, Scott, and even Roland have the leeway of young people who are sentimental and think about the consequences.

So for Farr, who has reached a declining age, he has only one thought in his heart.

——Hurry up, hurry up!

I may die tomorrow while sleeping. What are you telling me about social sequelae? I don’t care what social risks you have. Give it to me first!

"Once Moda's situation is stable, you can be the second 'experimental subject'."

Of course, Ian will not refuse the request of this experienced old bureaucrat. The other party's wisdom is really priceless to their young ruling group with no actual management experience.

It can be said that without Farr, Ian and Scott are still worrying about how to handle the collective census of the entire mountain people. Where would they have the time to research so many technologies?

There is no need for Farr to ask, he is the first sequence.

As for the last one, Qingchao...

Qingchao had no idea.

"Good thing!"

This was the cheerful and optimistic comment made by the swordsman after Ian stared at Qing Chao for more than ten seconds before he finally realized that he should say something: "It's all a good thing!"

This speech fully embodies Qingchao's unswerving spirit of not caring about the challenges of fate, bravely facing the waves of the future, facing unknown things without fear, daring to face unprecedented ethical and moral dilemmas and technological changes, highlighting Qingchao's bravery and fearlessness , optimistic and upbeat, with a great spirit of dedication to contribute to the construction of Xiahui Ling...

"You write three more papers after get off work."

As a compliment, Ian gave the other party the most direct reward: "Also, before the end of the next ten days, please give me the review of the book "On New Agricultural Planting Policies and National Agricultural Security Research", which is 1,500 words. "

Qing Chao couldn't be happy anymore, and the conference room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The construction, development, and technological progress of Xiahui Ling are now gradually coming to an end.

Basically everything has been solved, and all that is left is to wait for the passage of time. Even if there is any research task, Ian can hand it over to Adlbert for research.

Therefore, Ian, who had nothing to do for the time being, began to prepare his long-planned plan to return to his hometown of Harrison Port and the South Ridge Maze.

However, before that, he had one more thing to do.

That is the power brought by the "Guiding Star" of the Heart Light Body.

That is to say, there is a link about [Spiritual Disaster Path].
