MTL - Return of the Dead [Holo]-Chapter 56
There is great power in numbers.
This is not the first time Mo Ran has deeply realized the gold content of this sentence, but she still wants to sincerely praise the wisdom of xx, there are so many people...it is really powerful...
Just look at the area covered by the blue dots on the current map. It can be said that from south to north, from the end of the world to the cape, there are even several thick and colorful gathering points. If you want to rely on these gathering points to build the main If it is a city, it is estimated that humans can build seven or eight main cities.
The main city of human beings in the previous life was very grand, especially when it was finally upgraded to the seventh-level main city, it can no longer be described as majestic, and it can even be compared to any super international metropolis before the end of the world.
When Mo Ran saw the main city of humans for the first time, the feeling of envy and jealousy filled her heart all the time, and now she seems to finally have a chance to make up for this regret.
Speaking of this, Mo Ran began to search for the construction site of the main human city in the previous life on this map. Although she was just an insignificant shrimp in the previous life, it did not hinder her understanding of the main city of human beings, and her Now analyze the whole city from a rational point of view.
After the end of the world, the world has actually gone through several stages.
The first stage is called the preparatory stage. This stage takes the first crustal change as the dividing point. In the last days before the first crustal change, all kinds of machines can still be used. As long as there are enough consumables, all races can still Various electric machines can be used.
But after the first crustal change, the era of electricity was completely over. Any machine, any equipment, as long as everything that needed electricity to start it all failed, and things like electricity completely became things in memory.
That's why Mo Ran and He Yu were driving north, but when the earthquake hit, their car completely failed.
To put it simply, the preparatory stage is the stage for all races to transition from the era of rapid technological development to a brand new era.
When the preparatory stage is over, it will enter the era of cold weapons.
In Mo Ran's memory, there will be about three crustal changes during this stage, and then the continent of the entire new world will be gradually completed.
And this stage is mainly the development period of each race, and the division of the main cities and territories of all races is roughly completed during this period.
this stage
In fact, there is no obvious sign of the competition stage. If there is one, it is the large-scale emergence of magic and magic-like. When these new energies that cannot be explained by past scientific knowledge appear, all races will be completely destroyed. The once warm veil was torn away, and officially entered the stage of survival and hegemony on the mainland.
The dead of the previous life persisted until this stage. However, since entering the competition stage, various races have ushered in large and small battles, and thus the dead have also exposed similar materials such as insufficient storage, few personnel, no cohesion, etc. Disadvantages, but even in this congenitally deficient situation, the dead persisted in the competition stage for nine years, and finally declared the demise of this race as Mo Ran was whitewashed by the three major races.
I didn't think so at first, but when I think about it carefully after rebirth, I realize that these three stages seem to have their own goals. In fact, these three stages are closely related and interlocking.
The preparatory stage is actually for the gathering of various races. At that time, all means of transportation and electrical equipment can be used, so these tools can be used to speed up the pace of various races approaching the gathering point.
When most of the ethnic population gathers, it will enter the second development stage. In this stage, the main city will be built, and a large number of people will gather to facilitate the possession and collection of various resources.
As for why the main city must be established, on the surface it seems to be a protected area for all the population, but in fact this is only the most basic function, and a more important function is the emergence of professional NPCs.
After the main city is established, the system will send several professional NPCs to the main city of each race. These NPCs are time-sensitive, that is to say, they do not always exist in the main city of each race. As soon as they arrive, they will disappear, and the purpose of their existence is not only to teach players the division of combat occupations, but also has a more important function, which is to find inheritors.
The so-called inheritors, as the name suggests, are the apprentices of these NPCs. They will continue to serve as professional NPCs in the main city after the NPCs distributed by these systems disappear.
These NPCs stay in each main city for six months, which sounds like a long time, but in fact it is not.
The main reason is that the appearance of these NPCs is not determined by the time when the main city of each race is completed.
That is to say, their appearance time is fixed. If the race of the main city is built before their appearance time, these NPCs can stay in the main city for six months, and during these six months, no matter for The division of player occupations is still enough for the training time of the inheritance NPC.
However, what if the main city of this race was not built when they were supposed to appear? Then I'm sorry, they won't appear, they will only appear in the main city when the main city is built, but the time for them to disappear is still fixed, as for how long these NPCs can stay in the main city, It all depends on when this race has built the main city.
If the luck of this race is very bad, and the time for NPCs to disappear when the main city is completed, then sorry, there will be no NPCs in your main city who teach professional skills. If this race wants to divide occupations, then It all depends on whether there are too many geniuses in this race, whether they can comprehend these professions and voluntarily become an NPC to teach others.
The dead in the previous life were too late to complete the construction of the main city, causing these NPCs to disappear after staying in the main city for less than 20 days. Satisfy the teaching of basic skills, as for the advanced skills, it is really just fate in the end.
Of course, these seemingly inconspicuous reasons are also one of the thousands of driving forces behind the final death of the dead.
Seriously review the journey of the dead from appearance to demise. Although it was the three major races that dealt the fatal blow in the end, objectively speaking, the inadequacies within the dead's own race are also unshirkable responsibilities.
Therefore, at the current stage of development, the most important thing is to build the main city well. However, now is an era of cold weapons. There is no heaven-defying equipment like cranes, and there is no magic to help transport, so building the main city requires a huge cost. In matters of manpower and material resources, we must pay attention to the right time, place and people.
Under various restrictions, the location of the main city is especially important.
First, to have military significance, it must be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially for a race with a small population like the dead, military significance is very important. Otherwise, if people easily break through the lair, then the confidence in the race will basically be destroyed. of.
Second, you must be close to various resource points, especially stone, iron ore, wood, gold mines, etc. Of course, the most important thing is to be close to places with rich food resources
The last point is also the most important point, that is, there must be at least one road leading to the outside world, to lay the foundation for future commercial development, if the main city is not built in a mountainous area, safety is safe, and it is difficult enough to develop up.
It is actually quite difficult to achieve these points at the same time, especially at this stage, and the problem of the existing personnel going to the construction site in the main city must also be considered.
Mo Ran's eyes turned from a few places along the coast that were more suitable for building cities, and finally gave up reluctantly. Although these places will be cities for the other three races to develop commerce in the future, they are not suitable for doing business now. of the main city.
Not to mention anything else, just say that the next few crustal changes will definitely bring about huge tsunamis. The impact of this kind of violence on the cities by the sea is simply a disaster, and she doesn't need to take this risk at this time.
So now she can only choose in the inland part.
The location of the main city that humans chose in the last life is actually very good, whether it is resources, or military significance, or the development of business in the future, but the only disadvantage of this location for the current dead is that it is very close to gathering places of human beings.
The construction of the main city is a protracted task. It is best not to create side effects before the construction is completed, but if you confront humans at this time, then this kind of battle will be endless. Humans don't care, anyway, there are so many of them , Even if there is a war in front, there are still a lot of people behind to build the main city, and they will die. Their current population can only support one side, either fighting or building the main city.
Under such circumstances, it is the smartest way to temporarily avoid confrontation with humans.
With this in mind, Mo Ran had no choice but to give up the construction site of the main city of human beings in the previous life, and turned to look in another direction.
The other direction is the northeast corner of the mainland. Here, Mo Ran has drawn the location of various resources with a pencil. It seems to be very rich, and there is a relatively long coastline here. In the future, sea transportation can be developed, and more importantly, here There is a naturally formed mountain range between the main city of human beings in the previous life. Even if the earth's crust changes in the future, this mountain range will be divided into two and its barrier function will not be changed.
But it's too cold here
Mo Ran remembers that this land is cold and windy for more than half a year every year, so it is relatively difficult to develop agriculture here, and more can only develop fishing and hunting.
The dead are naturally more resistant to cold than other races, and can live in harsher environments. However, areas that are too cold will affect the birth rate of newborns. In the current situation where the population of the dead is relatively small, if the birth rate of newborns continues to decline...
Mo Ran hesitated, but after only two seconds of hesitation, she resolutely made a decision.
In other words, the two rights are the lesser.
It is also said that people today cannot control the affairs of the next generation.
The pencil in Mo Ran's hand drew a circle towards the northeast of the mainland without hesitation, and at this moment, she heard the countdown of the system sound coming from her ear: "Your God's Eye has entered 20 Seconds counting down..."
Taking advantage of this time, Mo Ran hurriedly remarked and expanded the various resources around this circle, trying to reconfirm and plan all the resource points and routes leading to the outside world.
"Mo Ran! Mo Ran! What happened to you?" Xue Changfeng's whirring voice came from far and near outside the door, and there was a heavy panting in his voice, which could be seen to be very anxious .
Mo Ran was racing against the countdown timer, without even raising his head, he just said, "Quiet."
All of Xue Changfeng's voices were firmly suppressed, and he really didn't dare to make any more sounds, but this did not prevent his eyes from falling on the table in front of Mo Ran.
What is that parchment roll the size of a table? It seems that various lines and marks are drawn on it, and these lines and marks are combined together...Xue Changfeng's heart beat violently.
Is it a map?
After the end of the world, there was a big earthquake. This was not an ordinary earthquake, but a change in the earth's crust. Xue Changfeng was not a geologist. He couldn't tell why, but he was born and raised in H City. After the earthquake, great changes took place in the city.
The collapse of the house is trivial. The most important thing is that the distance between City H and the surrounding cities has actually narrowed. The destination that used to take a day by car on the expressway is now a few hours on foot. Several mountains around City H disappeared, replaced by several huge cracks...
These abnormal and weird phenomena are enough to show that the familiar land he lives in has already seen huge changes.
Under this change, the original maps are all invalidated.
Before the end of the world, everyone took maps for granted and saw them everywhere, but it was only at this time that they realized how precious a map was, and could understand why maps were considered highly classified military secrets in ancient times.
Originally, Xue Changfeng thought that he would not have this thing for a long period of time in the future, and he would have to rely on groping for a living, but he never expected that a map would appear under his nose.
For a moment, countless questions and curiosity appeared in Xue Changfeng's mind, but when his eyes turned to the person who was sitting at the desk and kept writing and drawing on the map, all his doubts and curiosity disappeared immediately.
Ever since she met Mo Ran, she seems to be constantly creating miracles. No, it should be said that she is a miracle, so what is a map? Not only will it not be strange, but they will also applaud and say that the shape of this spaceship is really unique.
When the countdown was over, Mo Ran could only feel the golden light in front of her eyes slowly disappearing, and the various special symbols that originally appeared on the map had disappeared completely, leaving only the various symbols she drew on the map. kind of mark.
She let out a long breath and leaned back on the chair, feeling particularly tired after being relaxed after a high level of mental tension. However, looking at the map that she had marked all over, she only felt that no matter how tired she was, she would be exhausted. It is also worth it.
"Are you looking for me?" After glancing at the map again, Mo Ran let her body relax more and more. Xue Changfeng asked.
It wasn't until this time that Xue Changfeng managed to draw his attention away from the map, and after a moment of stunned, he nodded: "What happened to you just now?"
"What's wrong?"
Afterwards, Mo Ran realized that the skill of God's Eye was not only very cool in her own room, but in fact, it was even more cool when viewed from the outside.
A few minutes ago, when she summoned the skill of God's Eye, a bright golden light shrouded her house directly, and then these golden lights scattered into countless light spots covering the entire station, even reaching Besides, it was as if the sky had opened, and God had sown countless blessings from the sky.
To be honest, in fact, the dead are basically born in the new society, grew up under the red flag, and their roots are right.
As for Xue Changfeng who thinks more, he has a big brain and is relatively close to Mo Ran's place. When this strange scene just appeared, his first thought was whether Mo Ran was returning home with a crane or not. No, it should be said that it has ascended, so I hurried over to check.
But he never expected that he would discover something even more surprising than Feisheng.
While Xue Changfeng was still describing the situation outside just now, Mo Ran suddenly felt that strange heat surging in her body again, she was slightly taken aback, stood up quickly and walked towards the door.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Xiao Yuanyuan kneeling not far away, kowtowing to her several times with clasped hands, which stunned her all of a sudden.
"Xiao Yuanyuan, what are you...doing?" Mo Ran asked Xiao Yuanyuan, and while looking around, he saw the dead in many places around his house in the same way as Xiao Yuanyuan: "...you are what?"
Xiao Yuanyuan, who heard Mo Ran's voice, opened her eyes. If it is expressed by animation effects, it is estimated that Xiao Yuanyuan's eyes are a pair of peach hearts. She looked at Mo Ran, and even her voice was full of tension and admiration Meaning: "Mo Ran..."
"What to do?" From the previous life to this life, the most frequent episodes in Mo Ran's life are probably battles, and such scenes with pink bubbles everywhere are really rare, and she unavoidably retreated subconsciously. After a few steps, he asked cautiously.
"You are actually a god, aren't you?" The awe and worship in Xiao Yuanyuan's voice became more and more obvious.
"Ah?" Regarding this kind of question, Mo Ran's first thought was that he heard it wrong, and the second thought was that Xiao Yuanyuan was stimulated by something, otherwise, how could he say such incredible words?
Everyone is an atheist, including Mo Ran himself. After the founding of the People's Republic, he can't even become a spirit, let alone a god...
"Actually, you are a god, right! You are a **** sent down from heaven to guide us to live and bring us hope!" Xiao Yuanyuan's voice suddenly rose, and her voice was full of excitement and fanaticism .
"I... am not a god..." Mo Ran just wanted to refute, so he made a statement
"God! Mo God! Lord Mo God!" Xiao Yuanyuan yelled violently. The dead also shouted.
When a civilization is lost, it can easily be replaced by another civilization, and the very beginning of civilization starts with awe of heaven, earth and gods.
Just when these dead shouted, this fanatical emotion seemed to be extremely contagious, and those who were originally calm and even rationally analyzed the current situation could not help but fall into it, and they couldn't help following this fanatical voice shouted.
"Mo God!"
"Master Mo God!"
"May Master Mo Ran guide us forever!"
…
Mo Ran originally wanted to deny it, but her voice couldn't cover up this fanatical noise anyway, so she had no choice but to give up in the end. Moreover, at this moment she discovered another thing, that is, the strange heat flow followed by The fanatical passion of the deceased began to gather in her body again, she silently opened the character panel, and sure enough, behind her various attributes, she saw the small golden plus sign again.
so…
These heat currents should be related to the worship of the dead?
Such recognition made Mo Ran seem to have opened the door to a new world.
This is a brand new power. Although the power that Mo Ran has explored now can only open the eye of God, she thinks that since this power exists, it must have broader uses.
Apart from the use of these strange forces, being able to be worshiped and trusted by so many people sincerely, Mo Ran believes that this is a responsibility that she cannot refuse, and she cannot live up to this trust no matter what.
The wind blew up.
Wrapped in smoke and dust, it blew up in the desolation of the ruins, but, in the ruins, a new kind of fire fell, and in the invisible dark place, it started to burn little by little.
