Chapter 581 Centennial Plan

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

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

  The buildings and courtyards made of marble, granite and blue sandstone are located in it. The 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's the flying whales and giant beaked birds in the air, or the wild wolves who like to hunt in groups in the sea, or the various half-orcs who came to the king's city after awakening from the wild... In the city of light, they all have to follow the kingdom's rules and regulations. Law to live.

   Only here, not beyond.

   This is the deterrent of the gods.

  However, outside of this ancient capital, the entire kingdom and the entire world are undergoing earth-shaking changes. This change started a hundred years ago when King Guangming promulgated the oracle, and it is still going on today.

  Nefeli dragged a long dress embellished with many wraith flowers, and stepped into the temple that ordinary people cannot approach.

   Inside, there are only statues of the gods and the bonfire on the ground at this time.

  Behind the statue of God Yao, there are four gods named Bai God, King Wuji, God Mo and King Guangming. The light of the fire shone on them, casting shadows of various shapes on the wall.

  Nefeli prayed silently in front of the statue.

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

  A red light flashed.

  The young King of Light descends.

   "Nefeli, is something wrong again?"

  Even though he has been promoted to a god, the King of Light still maintains the approachable approach of the past.

   "Your Majesty."

  Nefeli looked bitter: "Somehow the camels have reached a consensus and united. More than 60,000 camels are going on strike on the coast, demanding better treatment and increased holidays and other benefits."

"very good."

The King of Light showed a smile instead: "The camels are fighting, which shows that they have sprouted self-awareness and thinking. This century-old plan is used to enlighten wisdom, which will allow them to grow faster and integrate into the further construction of the Yao civilization. Come."

   Neferi could only smile apologetically.

  You feel good.

   But in terms of specific matters, I, the apostle, can coordinate and appease.

   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 tea in the kingdom suffered a great loss.

  For a long time, camel beasts have a gentle temperament, endure hardships and stand hard work, and have strong endurance. They also have a tenacious temperament when they go on strike.

   "Your Majesty, in fact, the key is the problem of the manatees and the people of Zhouzhou."

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

"Why?"

  King Guangming was puzzled: "In the Kingdom Code, there is no distinction between superior and inferior treatment for 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 lag in time will cause some groups to benefit and others to fall behind. .As time goes on, the advantages of the first gainers will continue to accumulate, and it will be difficult for the latecomers to catch up. This is one of the microcosms of the uneven development of groups."

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

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

"After the initial development of the gene sequence was completed, the social situation has actually changed. People who have the gene sequence despise those who do not have the gene sequence, those who have developed the gene sequence more deeply, and despise the people who have begun the development of the gene sequence... This is an objective fact that cannot be avoid."

  Wraith girl Luo paused and continued to preach.

"Although there were some twists and turns at this stage, it still remained stable under the framework of the existing order. Later, the Centennial Plan was launched, and you requested to try to activate the gene sequences of various species on Zhoudao. This subversive change swept the entire world. It has brought about the diversity of species and the increase in strength visible to the naked eye, and it has also caused violent conflicts and bursts of thought that have never been seen at the secular level..."

  …

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

  Apostle Neferi and the consul are all staunch supporters.

  The reason is also simple.

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

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

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

  The Shacheng in Yunzhong Temple is an excellent success story.

   Nefeli suggested: "The Kingdom has the most mature understanding and utilization of gene sequences, and this technological capability still has huge potential to be tapped."

The executive official photo also said: "The population growth of the Red Thorn people has entered a period of stagnation for many years, and it has been maintained at the stage of 700,000 people for more than ten years. The facts in Yao State have proved that the increase of extraordinary power will lead to fertility. The lower the rate, the stronger the individual, the more difficult it is to have offspring."

  He proposed that national welfare should be further improved to attract foreign population. But to compete with other worlds for population, the Sun Kingdom has no advantage at all.

  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 gene sequence as a key to open the wisdom process of other beings in this world! We want them to join in the process of the new era of the Sun Kingdom and become naturalized new citizens of the Kingdom!"

   "Whether it's sharks, savages in the forest, islanders on sea islands, or even apes and wolves in the wilderness, fish in the water, and birds in the sky, they are all potential naturalization targets for us!"

   "Taking one hundred years as the first stage, we will try to enlightenment in the island world!"

  The person who proposed this plan is the King of Light. He personally completed a large number of visits and investigations as an incarnation, and made some frontier attempts before reaching a practical conclusion.

   After concrete implementation, the first naturalized object is the sea shark.

  The mermaids have a long history, and they also have the intelligence and living habits closest to the red thorns.

   Neferi went to talk to the mermaids in person.

  The elders of the sharks are very positive.

   "If that's the case, of course it's fine."

   "Most young people in the clan should be willing to try!"

  "We have always longed to restore the glory of our ancestors in the past. Under the illumination of God Yao and Lord Guangming, we will definitely make great contributions to the world and the kingdom!"

  …

  Facts are also like the reactions of the elders, the mermaids actively embraced the new students.

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

  [Gene sequence 3: Returning to ancestors]

   Removing this ability feature will improve the strength, physical strength, speed and other abilities of the mermaids, and it will also cause irreversible changes in their bodies.

  In the end, two new forms, or derived races, emerged from the mermaids.

  One is manatees.

  This kind of life form is much larger than the mermaid, and looks like a calf without horns, with a fish tail, and can live in the water and on the shore.

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

  It seems that the mermaids evolved from manatees.

   Nefeli has observed and explored manatees for a long time, and found that they have a talent. Manatees vomit and ruminate species will have a kind of pumice that can float on the water.

  When the pumice stone is soaked in water, a large piece of light green seaweed will be bred.

   This plant named [seaweed] by the kingdom is not only a natural detoxifying herb, but also a new spice. Just dry it and sprinkle some on the meat as it cooks to make it extra delicious and sweet.

  Another variation of the shark is the Zhouzhou people.

  At first, seeing the extinct Zhouzhou people haunting the coast, Neferi wondered if it was an illusion.

  She double-checked and finally confirmed that those Zhouzhou people were actually inspired by the genetic sequence of the mermaids returning to their ancestors.

  This subverts the existing historical cognition in the past.

  Archaeologists have always believed that the Zhouzhou people are the masters of the land, while the sharks are the life in the sea, and the two are completely different races.

   But 【Gene Sequence】 has denied this conclusion.

  There is a blood relationship between the Merman and the Zhouzhou people, but this relationship is very complicated, and it lasted until the time when the Liao Weng still existed.

   Neferi spent more than ten years, through wreck archaeology, blood tests, folklore investigations, historical inheritance of mermaids, and visits to underwater ruins... finally sorted out an evolutionary picture.

   "Are the ancestors of the sharks manatees or people from Zhouzhou?" King Guangming was very interested in this at the time.

   Nefeli said: "Your Majesty, at first we suspected that the mermaids were domesticated by manatees after entering the sea and mated with manatees...then the mermaids were born."

"But such a guess proved to be completely wrong. Archaeologists have found sporadic bones of the manatee on land, but they have not been able to restore the real appearance of the manatee through the bones. People in Zhouzhou have no information about the manatee at all. The record, that is, the time of their existence, did not inhabit manatees."

   "We have conducted a large number of elemental analyzes on the blood in Xueqiupi, as well as in Baibao, Shacheng, and Abyss, and we have proved one thing: Zhouzhou people evolved from manatees."

"Originally, manatees lived widely between the land and sea in this world. They had abundant food and were docile and peaceful. However, the world has undergone periodic changes of extreme cold and extreme heat. As a result, both carnivores on the ground and large predators in the sea are Feed on sea cows."

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

   "Another group of manatees has evolved a more flexible body, which can recognize the direction and the movement of the water in the water. They completely embrace the ocean and become sharks that can withstand huge water pressure in the deep sea."

  Part of the historical gap in the island world has been filled in this way.

  Under the atavistic power of the gene sequence, two groups of different eras met for the first time.

  Zhouzhou people are industrious and keen on collecting and building. Although they are short in stature, they are energetic and very good at group cooperation.

  Manatees live leisurely by the sea, relying on the [Seaweed] that is rewarded by the sky for food. They bask in the sun every day, eating and drinking is just a day.

   Each has its own way of living.

  In order to take care of and naturalize the mermaids, the Sun Kingdom built a new city for them, and gave them great support, allowing the Zhouzhou people, the mermaids, and the manatees to govern themselves.

  …

  Nefri's thoughts returned to the temple.

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

  King Guangming nodded: "They want to keep their past way of life, so let them keep their traditions and self-government, and divide them into dominions."

   Neferi was a little anxious: "But Your Majesty, if the kingdom cannot be managed in a unified manner, no matter whether it is coordinating resources or deploying supervision, it will be extremely inefficient."

   "I know your concerns, and I know you have a hard time dealing with them."

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

   "If the Sun Kingdom can always maintain an all-round lead, and provide these newly awakened ethnic groups with suitable environments and opportunities, they will spontaneously move closer to the kingdom without mandatory orders. Just like the Yao people in the past."

"But if the Kingdom of the Sun does not think about making progress, loses its purpose of representing the interests of the vast majority of people, and is no longer the benchmark of world civilization, we must allow this country to decline and perish, just like the people of Zhouzhou in the past were killed by sharks. People replace the same."

   "The sun will always rise, and new groups will rewrite civilization. So, diversification should be a thing to be happy about, shouldn't it?"

  The young **** showed a sincere smile on his face.

   Neferi was stunned for a moment.

Yes.

  I was too obsessed with the subject 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 angle.

  Whether Zhouzhou people, sharks, camels or orcs are investing in and expecting the future of the world.

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

  The Centennial Plan originally included such a grand strategy.

  She lowered her head and said convincingly, "Your Majesty, you are indeed far-sighted."

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

  King of Light looked towards the entrance of the main hall in the distance: "I'm worried about another thing now."

   "Is the bird spirit still guarding the stargazing altar?"

   Speaking of this, Neferi's mood that had just cleared up began to rain again.

  She spread her hands: "The bird spirit is still there, still the same, saying that a high-level civilization that also has [Clay Vat Burial] will arrive on Zhoudao within ten years."

  When she heard about it for the first time, Neferi was both excited and apprehensive. She organized the Sun Kingdom to prepare for the visiting foreign allies.

  But every time ten years passed, nothing happened.

  Bird Spirit will say with some regret: "Probably the direction is wrong, but they said that it will definitely arrive in the next ten years!"

  Fourteen times in a row, each time with the same plot, after waiting for more than a hundred years, Neferi has become numb.

  Even if the world is destroyed, it is not as painful as this.
