Nancy was in poor health, and she was prone to motion sickness, so sitting on the bus was like a nightmare to her.
Fortunately, the magic power from the Lucheng Holy Crystal alleviated some of Nancy's discomfort symptoms, preventing her from fainting on the bus.
But even so, Nancy still served as the tour guide for this trip, yes... a tour guide.
"Jiangcheng is a sub-provincial city in China. It can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in China. Wuhan is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the third largest river in the world..."
Nancy was holding a cell phone in her hand and introducing the city to everyone in the car. In fact, Lu Cheng really wanted to remind her that looking at the cell phone in the car would only aggravate her motion sickness symptoms.
But her frail condition did not affect Nancy's enthusiasm for acting as a tour guide.
"There are a lot of car beasts on the road."
Sitting in front of Nancy was Elena. She had not returned to her seat since she got on the car. She had her cheek pressed against the car window, looking at the road outside.
It felt like a kindergarten kid going to the zoo for the first time.
"That kind of road is called a road. It is paved with a material called asphalt and is specially provided for the use of car golems."
Nancy's eyes were also attracted by the scenery of the main road outside. All her knowledge of the Earth and China came from the Internet, but when she saw this city made of steel and concrete for the first time, the shock in her heart could not be described in words.
"Lord Lu Cheng, are we surrounded by golems?"
Master Winnie stood up with the help of his staff. He had noticed that there were more and more golems around him. Finally, the bus was completely blocked in the middle of the road by other golems and could not move.
"It's just a common traffic jam. The golems you see are civilian versions."
Lu Cheng glanced at the time on his mobile phone. Today was exactly twelve o'clock noon on Saturday. The bus was just about to pass through the Second Yanjiang Bridge. This section of the road was usually a little congested.
"Civilian use?" Master Winnie clenched the staff in his hand and looked around, appearing very nervous.
In the concept of the Secret Order, there is no such thing as a civilian golem. The Secret Order owns more than 300 golems, a small number of which have terrifying destructive power and can be called strategic-level monsters.
So when the bus drove onto the main road and cars appeared on the street, Master Winnie saw those cars in the same way that the people on Earth saw the "doomsday mechas" or nuclear bombs running around on the street.
"See that Golem? It's a Volkswagen Beetle. The whole car can be bought for about 150,000 yuan. If you take out a loan, you can get 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. If converted into the currency of the Far South... Let me think about it, I can buy one for more than 30 silver shields."
Lucheng knew that Master Winnie had traded with Far South in the past, so it understood the purchasing power of Far South's currency.
"Thirty silver shields? These golems are too cheap." Master Winnie looked at the golems of various shapes all over the street. His property in Far South could probably buy more than a hundred Beetles. "Thirty silver shields in Far South can't even buy the core of a basic puppet golem. Lord Lu Cheng, are these golems given by the ancestors of the Techno-God Cult?"
"Ahem..." Lu Cheng was enjoying Master Winnie's exclamation when he choked on the second half of the sentence while drinking water. "Where did you hear the term 'God of Technology'?"
"The priest of the god of technology next to you." Master Winnie pointed at Noyi who was sitting next to Lu Cheng with an innocent look on his face.
"This..." Lu Cheng immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Nuoyi.
'Noi, what did you tell him?'
"The dogma of the god of technology." Nuoyi quickly sent a message back to Lucheng.
doctrine
Lu Cheng doesn’t remember telling Noy about the teachings of the God of Technology!
"What doctrine?" Lu Cheng immediately sent out a new message.
'Prosperity, democracy, harmony, freedom and equality... and our great ancestor Einstein once said...' Noy quickly gave Lucheng a reply.
When Lu Cheng saw the string of text sent by Nuoyi, his first reaction was that Nuoyi typed too fast, and a long dialog box was typed out in just over ten seconds.
'Who told you all this? 'Lu Cheng hasn't paid much attention to Noi's growth during this period, but now Noi's worldview seems to have taken a strange path
"Teacher Lin, my classmates and many people in the camp have joined the Church of Technology." Noy's words sounded a little proud.
Wake up! What you believe in is not the religion of science and technology, but the sickle and hammer doctrine!
When Lu Cheng heard this, he instantly understood... While he was busy dealing with matters in the Far South, Professor Lin Yuping did something that could be said to be genius in the camp.
Professor Lin may have initially just wanted to educate the refugees so that they could improve their thinking and assimilate into successors of the hammer and sickle doctrine.
But these refugees are ignorant. Rather than the sickle and hammer doctrine which has no fixed image, they prefer to believe in religion and a man-made God.
This was a result that Professor Lin himself did not expect, so the Church of Technology was established. The first believer was Noi, and Noi initially only converted a few classmates in her class.
As a result, these students brought the teachings of the Church of Technology back home, and their parents also successfully converted to the Church of Technology.
The form of this religion is very different from those religions in the Far South Continent. The Techno-Religion does not believe in gods, but in "ancestors".
For example, Einstein, Newton, Zu Chongzhi and others are all "ancestors" who are well-known to the refugees in the camp today.
The essence of the Techno-Religion is actually somewhat different from the Hammer and Sickle doctrine, but under the transformation of Professor Lin, this religion still advocates equality for all, has a high respect for knowledge, and believes that everything can be analyzed with knowledge, etc...
No wonder when Lu Cheng passed by the refugee camp two days ago, he heard someone praying to Einstein that he would not fail the math test.
Lu Cheng didn’t know whether the existence of this religion was good or bad, but at least it helped the aliens understand the ideology and technological knowledge of the Earth.
"Well, the car was invented by a man named Calvert, but he has been dead for almost 90 years." Lu Cheng pointed to a Mercedes-Benz car outside the car window and said, "The prototype of that car was created by him."
"That golem has a history of more than ninety years?" Master Winnie once again misunderstood Lu Cheng's meaning.
"No, I mean his knowledge has been passed down to us, and it has been improved through countless generations to get to where we are today." Lu Cheng pointed to another Mercedes-Benz on the road again. "A hundred years ago, there was probably only one Mercedes-Benz in the world. Now you can see one every two steps on the streets of big cities."
"The complete golem casting technique can also be passed down? How did you do it?" Master Winnie stood up and asked excitedly.
"Mr. Winnie... I can't quite understand what you mean." Lu Cheng said.
"Every golem of the Secret Order is unique." Charlotte finally spoke at this time. "After the creator of the golem dies, even his apprentices can't create another golem that is exactly the same."
"What are the detailed reasons?"
Lu Cheng was not in a hurry to tell Charlotte and Master Winnie that the cars on the street were not handmade by humans, and even if there were any, they were only a small part.
But Charlotte's words made Lu Cheng grasp a very important piece of information, which is why the other world has powerful golems, but its civilization is still stuck in the Middle Ages.
