As the Tower of Babel flew—or gliding, it gradually began to approach the ground.

The pictures captured by the spherical camera became clearer, and the ground under Russell and Huayu's feet began to "become transparent".

"Want to see it more clearly?"

Huachu turned his head and saw Russell staring intently at the ground, so he said, "You can just tell it to let it zoom in a little bit—the head portrait of a deer, zoom in a little bit."

"There is no internet here, right? Can the deer head figure also control the facilities here?"

Russell raised his head and asked in surprise.

He also thought that it was Huatouch, or some kind of automatic system, that controlled the "Tower of Babel". As a result, Hua Chu was sitting beside her like this, she really was a passenger just like herself

"The deer head can't speak now, so don't ask her."

The smirk appeared again on Huachu's face: "After all, there is no device here that can synthesize voices. As a program virus, even if she hears it, she can't talk to you directly.

"At that time, there was no artificial intelligence technology as advanced as it is now. But as early as the Islamic War, the computer had been re-invented by church scholars for a period of time—but we called this 'computing personal terminal' at that time. It is used for It is distinguished from personal terminals for divine descent, personal terminals for healing, personal terminals for combat, and other devices.”

"It turns out that the Cyber ​​Church at that time was already so cyber." Russell was a little surprised.

"The church is the biggest pusher of electronic technology - you know, mages don't need this kind of thing. Spells are not something that can be optimized through calculation, and this kind of extraordinary power is only in their hands, mages have detached status.

"In the same way, the power of the nobles lies in their taxation of the subjects; the power of the ministers lies in their management of business, military, agricultural and other activities. Inventions that can improve personal combat effectiveness and productivity without control are unreasonable. Conducive to maintaining the kingdom's rule.

"For example, the factory assembly line - in those days, the scale, output and type of production that all factory owners could open, as well as the number of employees they could recruit, were all strictly limited. There were also some transnational armed frictions on land back then, and firearms technology Maybe even more developed than it is now. And the control of firearms is not much stronger than it is now.

"At that time, even armor, horses, and all weapons weighing more than a kilogram were strictly controlled.

"When I was traveling around the mainland, there was a classic joke - that is, the best weapon is a one-handed sword weighing 0.9 kilograms. And how to restrain the opponent? The answer is to hang a weighted ball on the handle of the opponent's sword, Then you can report the other party.

"Afterwards, law enforcement officers in armor, riding huge horses, armed with rifles and heavy hammers will come rushing to arrest him."

Huachu felt a little emotional: "The church was not called the Cyber ​​Church at that time, and there was no such thing as 'cyber ascension'. Their thinking may be a bit simple now... They hope that through the research of automated assembly line technology, let The factory can easily do the work of ten people with only one person. This way, people don’t have to work endlessly.”

"Wouldn't you be unemployed then?"

"Indeed. But the scholars of the church realized this after they invented this technology. But after discussing it, they found that this problem cannot be solved—as long as they promote technological development and iteration, it will inevitably be accompanied by the old Unemployment of workers. But as long as the technology is promoted, most people can benefit from it.

"So the church has another way of thinking... They plan to develop a generation-dating technology that allows society to fully iterate, making everyone's work meaningless. That is to say, they don't plan to promote new technologies from generation to generation, Instead of constantly weeding out old workers, we intend to come up with a technology that is fifty or one hundred years ahead of time, so that everyone can relearn new technologies on an equal footing, and achieve fairness through this method.

"—and they can really do it. Because they are not 'inventions' from scratch in the strict sense. Back then, 'archaeology' was a taboo subject, but there were always people involved. Because Ancient technologies unearthed from ruins and

Documents sold to scholars can always be sold at an astonishingly high price.

"This kind of 'adventurer' is the easiest occupation for ordinary people to reach the sky in one step. It is precisely because there are a lot of ancient technologies as a reference, and there is no practice to optimize these technologies, so the technology on the church side is so advanced. And the subtle ones aren't very practical."

"It's a bit outrageous to say yes." Russell looked down at the ground, and replied somewhat absent-mindedly.

"really."

Hua Chu agreed, "I think so too."

Sensing Russell's distraction, she followed Russell's gaze to the ground: "Oh, you're watching them kneel down to you.

"Why, looking down on mortals who are as small as ants, will you think of yourself as a god?"

"I just feel...

Russell stared at the land and whispered: "Their eyes are full of hope and fear at the same time. It's very strange."

"It's normal, too."

Huachu said lightly: "You were born on Sky Island, so you don't have any idea about this.

"However, for those who have lived on land since birth, felt the land full of scars, and barely survived the authority of nature, they can only rely on the 'books' that still existed in the land era, or the traditions and simple knowledge to eke out civilization

"Now you are a real god. You are a clean angel born in the God Realm and descended from the God Realm."

"—It's not just that."

Russell suddenly said: "In their blood... there is an unconcealable fear of flying machines of this shape.

"More than a hundred years have passed...In this difficult living environment, those who witnessed the war have long since died. But they will do their best to leave behind the knowledge and technology they have mastered in the once'brilliant civilization. And they He also passed down the destruction brought about by this type of aircraft. "That's why people kneel down and pray. It's not a prayer for the gospel and salvation, but a prayer for me not to destroy them."

Getting close to this distance, Russell can easily sense the emotions stirring in the hearts of those people who whispered~www.novelbuddy.com~ That is a "frequency" that Russell has never been exposed to.

Compared with the Sky Islanders, their minds have become simple and dull. It's not like the people of Sky Island, who can turn back and forth in their hearts in just a moment. When they think, fear, pray, and kneel down, their emotions change and fluctuate so slowly.

They have adapted to this land with no new changes, and even the way of thinking has coexisted with the slow-paced nature. It's like their "evolution" in just a hundred years, the body naturally shut down part of the brain's authority to reduce the body's energy consumption and save resources.

Even in such a humble and arduous life—even in a place where it is extremely difficult to survive, people are praying to the "God" for the continuation of life, and doing their best to pass on even a little bit of "civilization".

But the so-called "gods" fight each other to the death and destroy each other because of those empty hatred, fear, jealousy, and greed.

"I'm a little confused, Hanatouch."

Russell murmured in a low voice, "Which side is the person?"
