Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Yuanting Academy, back mountain.

Continuous and towering mountains, this is part of the North District 1 mountain range. Heshia was shocked by these tall mountains when she first came to North District 1, and even after staying in Yuanting Academy for a long time, this This feeling still hasn't gone away.

The mountain is very, very high, so big that it makes many pale descriptions and metaphors lose their color. The slopes that stretch for more than ten kilometers are like giant steps leading straight to the sky, which is dazzling. If you look up, you will feel that the earth is tilting. , the illusion of standing unsteadily.

The higher you go, the stronger the wind becomes. The rocks here are rugged, there are no trees, and only a few green grasses live tenaciously in the cracks.

Stepping on the peeling rocks on the ridge, the girl opened her hands and simply maintained her balance. Her well-proportioned and slender legs were like walking on a single-plank bridge. She stepped on the white and green rocks, and the wind on the mountain moved her blue dress. The blow is close to the body, outlining one side of the figure. The hair is flying in the wind, and the eyelashes are soaked in the sun, showing a little brown and transparent feeling.

Maintaining her balance in the wind, the girl walked along the long ridge and climbed step by step to the top of the mountain that was gilded with the morning sun. Then she jumped lightly and landed on the highest stone on the mountain with her feet.

This stone is not as flat as the stones on the ridge. If you look closely, there are many tiny pits, filled with moss and sand. It feels cold to the touch and has a slight black tint.

Although climbing to the top in life does not give out various rewards and achievements like in the game, the undulating sea of ​​clouds and the scenery of mountains and rivers are imprinted in the mind, which makes people feel a certain kind of satisfaction, just like collecting stamps. It’s as if the horizons of life have broadened.

Contrary to what some people imagine, the rocks on the mountain will be very clean even if no one cleans them, so you don’t have to worry about soiling your clothes.

Simply gathering up her skirt, Heshia sat on the slightly cold stone, overlooking the huge canyon below, as well as the winding valleys and rivers in the distance. Occasionally, she would slightly sway her legs in the wind to experience the gentle breeze blowing by. A light feeling in the calves.

After feeling and enjoying this novel experience for a long time, she closed her eyes, then placed her hands lightly on the stone beside her, and her consciousness continued to spread along the stone beneath her.

Soon the internal structure of the entire mountain came into her mind. In fact, the continuous peaks were only covered with a little soil on the surface, and the interior was almost a single piece of rock with no gaps, undulating on the ground like waves.

This perception of huge mountains stretching like waves on the ground brought her a new understanding, allowing her consciousness to swim like a fish in the endless mountains.

It's like breaking into a whole new world.

In this way, Heshia didn't get out of this immersion until the sun gradually came into the sky.

When she opened her eyes again and looked down at the rolling mountains, she seemed to have the illusion that these 'waves' could move.

Although it is tempting, it is indeed an illusion. The girl spread her hand, looked at the palm of her hand, and then lightly pressed it on the stone under her body. It spread like a ripple. The stone under her body gradually became transparent, and finally became like crystal. As clear as crystal, this sign continues to spread along the rocks, and the entire mountain peak begins to transform into clear crystal.

In fact, most substances can be transparent, that is, they can let light pass through and become crystal clear. However, there are not many truly transparent substances in nature. This is because the internal molecules are messy and different molecules are formed. Different structures, mixed with many gaps, cause different scattering and refraction, so the material is opaque.

If people's hearts are like rocks in the mountains, in primitive and uncivilized conditions, they fight with each other for each other's interests, and most of their energy is spent on internal consumption. The internal structure is messy and turbid, so it is dull and dark.

But if they gradually gather together because of a certain concept, first forming a family, then a tribe, and then a country, they will burst out with more and more powerful power, and the whole will gradually become more transparent, even in the innermost circle. The molecules on the side can also get a glimpse of the light and world outside.

Life naturally seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. This is the source of existence and continuation. How to convince most lives to believe in the same group and work in the same direction? First, they have common interests, but this is not enough. If it is just a combination of interests, , is easily broken because the benefits are too fickle and unstable and do not apply to all situations.

Individuals have limits. No matter how strong their social skills are, maintaining close and familiar relationships with about 150 people is close to the limit, and a tribe or a country can never have more than this number of people.

In order to bind individuals as scattered as sand, wise men throughout the ages have thought of many ways, from the simplest blood ties to easier-to-promote religions, national concepts, and more special cultures and ideals, etc. These things are like magnets. , straighten out the scattered individuals one by one, and face them in the same direction.

Learning knowledge is good, but after becoming enlightened and gaining more knowledge, people will not be so easily deceived, and it will be more difficult for them to immerse themselves in so-called religions, beliefs and the like. They will analyze the gains and losses more calmly. Consider your own benefits.

From an individual point of view, such behavior is conducive to survival, but from a higher dimension, such a group will inevitably become weaker, because they begin to suspect each other, and it is difficult to fully coordinate with each other, sometimes even if they have the right Options appear, but a small number of people will block them for their own selfish interests.

In the short term, individuals do benefit, but in the long term, the weakening of the entire group also makes individuals no longer safe.

This kind of incident has happened more than once in history, that is, a country that was originally a civilized and developed country was captured and replaced by the surrounding barbarians.

How to bridge the gaps between groups and create a flawless and united transparent crystal is almost an inevitable problem that a civilization will face after it develops to a certain level, and the more populous and huge a civilization is, the more it must face this problem directly.

The dark suns of the past achieved this goal through genetic modification, brainwashing and isolation, and other shortcuts. In just a few thousand years, they swept across the galaxy, expanded the star field, and suppressed the original humans.

But such a shortcut will not be without cost, and may even be incomplete in itself. The consequences will be slowly exposed in the later stages, which is also the reason for the final defeat of the Dark Suns.

[Treat people as tools, and the other person will respond like a tool. ]

This is what Isenisa said during her last conversation with Oshikasha.

If the bottom of the new race are absolutely obedient, simple beings without any other thoughts, then they are just like tools. In essence, these new races are the same as those electronic AIs that assist humans.

The only thing more powerful than electronic AI is that they can provide their own consciousness and extraordinary core resonance to power the dark sun.

Wisdom has limits, or individual excellence has marginal effects. In other words, a smart person with a score of 90 may not necessarily be able to beat three ordinary people with a score of 70.

After the rise of the new race, they had a huge advantage in a short period of time and defeated the original human country. However, their technological and social evolution was extremely slow, only one-tenth or even one percent of that of normal human society.

It is not difficult to understand that a unified and regular life and spiritual world, and an environment without changes and ups and downs, are difficult to generate inspiration and materials.

Reading the same book 100 times cannot compare with the knowledge, inspiration, and broadening of horizons gained from reading 100 different books.

Everything about the new race is too repetitive and monotonous. In such a boring society, most of the bottom population are just tools. They have no needs and no need for any changes. Everything can be done step by step.

Few people know that even the progress of science and technology requires a lot of inspiration and materials to advance.

Just like people cannot think of things beyond their cognition, when the horizons and materials of the entire civilization are narrow and monotonous, scientific researchers cannot imagine things they have never seen before, because they do not exist conceptually.

From birth to death, a person has only seen one color. No matter how smart she is, she cannot imagine a world with other colors.

This is the fatal flaw that the new race can never overcome. If they overcome it, they will be the same as other humans and will no longer be the life that the dark sun needs.

When the vision of the new race is opened and the genetic shortcomings are repaired, she no longer blindly obeys and obeys, nor can she maintain that kind of simple worship, and naturally she can no longer serve the dark suns.

At the end of the Fifth Era, the newly established Federation gathered many organizations and forces scattered across the galaxy, and also acquired a large number of different technologies. Countless talents and ideas collided at this moment. Technology progressed by leaps and bounds, glowing with the power that the Dark Sun feared. vitality.

More powerful starships, more powerful weapons, and more ways to deal with new races are emerging in hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands. The blockade of the dark suns is broken, and a fleet of ships spans the star sea. It was shot down and destroyed, until the foundation of the throne was disintegrated, and the eternally powerful sun had to be extinguished.

Charter One: [Treat people as people, and they will respond with wisdom and strength equal to your own. ]

"We will build an equal and just country, and create our own paradise in this cold and empty starry sky. Today, in the name of rose, I declare the establishment of the Federation. No matter what we encounter in the future, we will advance and retreat together, without distinction. each other."

Thousands of years ago, the scene where Isenisa took the oath at the founding ceremony of the country is still inspiring and touching.
