Chapter 581 Centennial Plan

Neferi stood on the steps of the temple, looking back at the City of Light behind her.

 As the capital of the Kingdom of the Sun, the scale here is constantly expanding.

Houses and courtyards made of marble, granite and blue sandstone are located in it. Streets made of stone slabs are lined with trees on both sides. Ethnic groups with different shapes and customs cooperate with each other and work hard.

Whether it is the flying whales and giant beaks in the sky, or the wild wolves who like to hunt in groups in the sea, or the various half-orcs who have awakened from the wild and come to the royal city... In the City of Light, they all have to follow the kingdom's rules. To live by the law.

 It can only be here, not beyond.

 This is divine deterrence.

 However, outside this ancient royal capital, the entire kingdom and the entire world are undergoing earth-shaking changes. This change began when the King of Light issued the oracle a hundred years ago and is still continuing today.

Nefeli dragged her long dress decorated with many flowers of resentful spirits and stepped into the temple that was inaccessible to ordinary people.

 Inside, there are only statues of gods and bonfires on the ground.

Behind the statue of Yao are four gods: Bai Shen, Wuji King, Ju Shen and Guangming King. The firelight shone on them, casting shadows of various shapes on the wall.

Neferi prayed silently in front of the statue.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

 A red light flashed.

 The young King of Light has arrived.

 “Nefeli, is something wrong again?”

Even though he has been promoted to a god, the King of Light still remains the approachable person he used to be.

 “Your Majesty.”

Nefeli looked bitter: "The camels have somehow reached a consensus and unity. More than 60,000 camels are on strike collectively on the coast, demanding better treatment and more benefits such as holidays."

"very good."

Instead, the King of Light smiled: "The resistance of the camel beasts shows that they have developed self-awareness and thinking. This centenary plan is used to enlighten wisdom, which will allow them to grow faster and integrate into the further construction of Yao civilization. Come in."

Nefeli could only apologize.

 You think it’s good.

 But in terms of specific matters, I, the apostle, need to coordinate and comfort them.

Camel beasts are the key to picking and transporting tea. They are also experts in identifying various new species in the wild. After the accident, the kingdom's tea leaves suffered great losses.

  For a long time, camel animals have a docile temperament, are hardworking and have strong endurance. They also have a perseverance temperament when they go on strike.

“Your Majesty, the key issue is actually the issue between Habitat and Zhouzhou people.”

Nefeli said sternly: "Because of the different treatment issues, the camel beasts were dissatisfied and angry."

"Why?"

The King of Light was puzzled: "In the kingdom's code, there is no distinction between superior and inferior treatment of different races."

 “That’s not actually the case.”

"Even under ideal circumstances, compared with the current situation of the actual society, the kingdom's policy adjustments will inevitably lag behind to a certain extent, and this time lag will cause some groups to benefit while other groups fall behind. . As time continues, the advantages of those who gain first will continue to accumulate, and it will be difficult for latecomers to catch up. This is one of the epitome of uneven group development."

Nefeli said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you have specialized in researching genetic sequences and promoting the Centennial Plan over the years, but the current situation in the Kingdom of the Sun is very complicated."

“In the past hundreds of years, the kingdom has maintained a relatively stable order, and conflicts between ethnic groups are in a mediated state and have not intensified on a large scale.”

"After the initial completion of the genetic sequence development, the social situation has actually changed. People who have the genetic sequence despise those who do not have the genetic sequence. Those who develop the genetic sequence more deeply despise those who are beginners in the genetic sequence development... This is an objective fact. It cannot be avoid."

 The resentful spirit woman Luo paused and continued to preach.

"Although this stage had some twists and turns, it still remained stable within the framework of the existing order. Later, the Centennial Plan was launched, and you requested an attempt to activate the genetic sequence of various species on the island. This disruptive change swept the entire world. It has brought about species diversity and intensity that can be seen with the naked eye, and it has also caused violent conflicts and bursts of ideas that have never been seen before on the secular level..."

 …

As the patron saint of the island world, Chi Lian, the King of Light, decided to launch a century-old plan for the Kingdom of the Sun after repeated research and soliciting a large number of citizens’ opinions.

 Apostle Neferi and Archon Zhao are firm supporters.

 The reason is also simple.

In the world under Yao God, the Kingdom of the Sun started slowly, preceded by the world of the Yao people with deep roots, the Kingdom of Resurrection co-held by the two gods who came from behind, and the Yunzhong Temple that entered explosive development due to the theory of elements.

 Compared with these developed high-speed worlds, the island world undoubtedly lags behind.

  In order not to be left further and further behind, and not to be completely reduced to the sidelines in the next era, the Kingdom of the Sun must vigorously develop its local characteristics and advantages and open up new areas of development.

Shacheng in Yunzhong Temple is an excellent success story.

Nefeli suggested: “The Kingdom has the most mature understanding and utilization of genetic sequences, and this technical capability still has huge potential to be tapped.”

Archon Teruya said: "The population growth of the Red Thorn tribe has entered a period of slowdown for many years, and has been maintained at a population of 700,000 for more than ten years. The facts from Yao Kingdom have proven that the improvement of extraordinary power will lead to fertility As the rate decreases, the more powerful the individual, the more difficult it is for them to have offspring."

 He proposed that national welfare should be further improved to attract the outside population. But when it comes to competing with other worlds for population, the Kingdom of the Sun has no advantage at all.

 The King of Light said: "We have to choose another way."

“The kingdom must accommodate more ethnic groups, further tap the potential of the island world, and develop more civilized groups.”

“We want to use the genetic sequence as a key to unlock the wisdom process of other life forms in this world! We want them to join the process of the new era of the Kingdom of the Sun and become new naturalized citizens of the kingdom!”

“Whether they are sharks, savages in the woods, islanders on sea islands, even apes and wolves in the wilderness, fish in the water, and birds in the sky, they are all our potential naturalization targets!”

“Let’s take one hundred years as the first stage and make an attempt at enlightenment in the island world!”

The proposer of this plan is the King of Light. He personally completed a large number of visits and surveys in his incarnation, and conducted local cutting-edge experiments before reaching practical conclusions.

 In actual implementation, the first target of naturalization is the sea mermaid.

The Shark people have a long history and have intelligence and living habits that are closest to those of the Red Thorn people.

Nefeli went to discuss this matter with the sharks herself.

  The shark elders have a very positive attitude.

 “If that’s the case, of course that’s fine.”

“Most young people in the clan would be willing to try it!”

“We have always longed to restore the glory of our ancestors in the past. Under the shining of God Yao and the King of Light, we will definitely be able to make great contributions to the world and the kingdom!”

 …

 In fact, just like the reaction shown by the elders, the sharks actively embraced the new life.

After the sharks completed large-scale gene activation, more than half of them awakened the same genetic sequence.

  【Gene Sequence 3: Return to Ancestry】

The removal of this ability feature will improve the shark's strength, physical strength, speed and other abilities, and will also cause their bodies to undergo irreversible morphological changes.

 In the end, two completely new forms emerged among the sharks, or they could be said to be derivative races.

 One is the manatee.

This kind of life form is much larger than a shark, looks like a hornless calf, has a fish tail, and can live in water and on the shore.

 They are relatively slow-minded and lethargic, can feed on various seaweeds and seaweeds, and have a gentle personality.

It seems that the sharks evolved from the sea cows.

Nefeli has been observing and exploring manatees for a long time, and discovered that they have a talent. In the ruminants vomited by manatees, there will be a kind of pumice that can float on the water.

 When pumice is soaked in water, a large area of ​​light green seaweed will grow.

This plant named "Seaweed" by the Kingdom is not only a natural detoxifying herb, but also a brand-new spice. Simply dry it in the sun and sprinkle some on your meat when cooking to make it extra delicious and sweet.

  Another variation of the Sharks is the Zhouzhou people.

 At first, when she saw the extinct Zhouzhou people wandering along the coast, Nefeli doubted whether it was an illusion.

She checked repeatedly and finally determined that those Zhouzhou people were actually inspired by the genetic atavism of the sharks.

 This overturns the existing historical understanding of the past.

Archaeologists have always believed that the Zhouzhou people were the masters of the land, while the sharks were the creatures of the ocean. The two were completely different races.

 But the [gene sequence] refutes this conclusion.

There is a blood relationship between the Shark people and the Zhouzhou people, but this relationship is very complicated and lasts until the time when the coir raincoat still existed.

Nefeli spent more than ten years and finally sorted out a picture of evolution through wreck archeology, blood tests, folklore surveys, historical inheritance of the sharks, and visits to underwater ruins...

“Are the ancestors of the sharks people from Manatee, or from Zhouzhou?” King Guangming was very interested in this at the time.

Nefeli said: "Your Majesty, at first we suspected that the sharks were some Zhouzhou people who went into the sea and domesticated the sea cows, and mated with the sea cows... and then the sharks were born."

"But such speculation was proved to be completely wrong. Archaeologists found scattered bones of Qi Manatee on land, but they were unable to reconstruct the true appearance of Qi Manatee through the bones. Zhouzhou people have no knowledge about Qi Manatee at all. Records, that is to say, there were no manatees at the time of their existence.”

“We have conducted a large number of elemental analyzes on the blood in the blood mound, as well as in White Castle, Shacheng, and Abyss, and we have proved one thing: Zhouzhou people evolved from the sea cows.”

"Originally, manatees lived widely between the land and the ocean in this world. They had abundant food, were docile and peaceful. However, the world has gone through cycles of extreme cold and heat, resulting in both carnivorous beasts on the ground and large predators in the sea. Feed on manatees."

“Under the pressure of survival, some manatees moved further inland, and then became the earliest Zhouzhou people. In order to adapt to the land, they became short and strong, and could climb and dig holes to avoid large enemies.”

“Another group of manatees has evolved a more flexible body and can identify the direction and movement of currents in the water. They completely embraced the ocean and became sharks that can withstand huge water pressure in the deep sea.”

 Part of the historical gaps in the island world have been filled.

 Under the atavistic power of genetic sequences, two groups from different eras met for the first time.

 Zhouzhou people are hard-working and keen on collecting and building. Although they are short in stature, they are energetic and very good at group collaboration.

The sea cows live leisurely on the seaside, relying on the seagrass provided by the sky to eat. They bask in the sun every day and eat and drink.

 Each one has his or her own way of living.

 In order to take care of and naturalize the Sharks, the Kingdom of the Sun built a new city for them and provided them with great support, allowing Zhouzhou people, Sharks and Qihainiu to govern themselves.

 …

Neferi’s thoughts returned to the temple.

She said easily: "Your Majesty, the sharks have enjoyed the dividends of the first batch of naturalization. Now not only the camels want to fight for their city, the islanders also want to confirm the legal status of their island in the kingdom. Those in the mountains are Orcs who have succeeded in genetic sequencing attempts are also constantly demanding that their forest hunting grounds and settlements be preserved."

The King of Light nodded: "If they want to preserve their past way of life, let them retain their traditions and autonomy and carve out autonomous territories."

Nefeli was a little anxious: "But Your Majesty, if the kingdom cannot be managed in a unified way, whether it is coordinating resources or allocating supervision, it will be extremely inefficient."

 “I know your concerns, and I know it’s difficult for you to deal with them.”

The King of Light just said calmly but firmly: "But, Nefeli. You have to remember that we are the guardians of the civilization of the island world."

“If the Kingdom of the Sun can always maintain an all-round lead and provide these newly awakened ethnic groups with a suitable environment and opportunities, they will spontaneously move towards the Kingdom without any forced orders. Just like the Yao people did in the past.”

"But if the Kingdom of the Sun does not want to make progress, loses its purpose of representing the interests of the vast majority of people, and is no longer the benchmark for civilization in this world, we will also allow this country to decline and fall, just like the people of Zhouzhou were killed by Shark in the past. People replace each other."

“The sun will always rise, and new ethnic groups will rewrite civilization. So, diversity should be a happy thing, right?”

 The young **** had a heartfelt smile on his face.

Nefeli was stunned for a moment.

Yes.

 I was too obsessed with the main body of the kingdom, but I forgot that the mission of the temple should be to guard the entire world of Zhoudao.

 Look at it from another perspective.

Whether they are Zhouzhou people, sharks, camel beasts or orcs, they are all investing in and hoping for the future of the world.

They will be the supervisors and competitors of the kingdom. If the Red Thorn tribe can no longer represent the most advanced civilization and culture in the world, and cannot solve the various problems faced by this increasingly complex world, these rising stars will naturally participate in the competition.

 The Centenary Plan turns out to include such a far-reaching strategy.

She bowed her head in sincerity and said, "Your Majesty, you are indeed far-sighted."

"This is just the beginning of what I learned from Master Yao. Isn't it the same way Master Yao treats the Yao people? Give them a fair chance, and leave the rest to themselves to compete for who represents the future of civilization. .”

 The King of Light looked towards the door of the hall in the distance: "What I'm worried about now is another thing."

 “Is the bird spirit still guarding the Star Observation Altar?”

 Speaking of this matter, Nefeli's mood, which had just calmed down, started to rain again.

She spread her hands: "The bird spirit is still there, still the same as before, saying that an advanced civilization that also provides [pottery jar burials] will arrive on the island within ten years."

 When she heard about it for the first time, Nefeli was both excited and anxious. She organized the whole Kingdom of the Sun to prepare to welcome the visiting foreign friends.

 But every time ten years pass, nothing happens.

The bird spirit will say with some regret: "Maybe the location is wrong, but they said that we will definitely arrive in the next ten years!"

Fourteen times in a row, the same plot happened each time. After waiting for more than a hundred years, Nefeli was already numb.

Even if the world were to be destroyed, it wouldn't be as tedious as this.
