No matter how much Phoenix persuaded him, Roland was unwilling to promote the integration of demons and humans.
In the end, Phoenix had no choice but to walk away.
She felt that she had misjudged Roland. Although this man was strong and talented, he lacked a big responsibility. He only had the name of a great sage, but he did not have the ambition to help the world.
Very disappointed.
However, Roland didn't think highly of Phoenix either.
Indeed... she is an outlier among demons, and even a good person.
But... too naive.
The demon world itself is a small world. The demon god is actually similar to the human god of order and the god of the astral world, both of which are products of group consciousness.
He's just the god of the demons.
Normally, Phoenix is a demon god, and it stands to reason that he should also be of the chaotic evil type, but she has traveled anonymously in the human world for a long time, and understands what order and philosophy are.
It's just a pity... Due to the knowledge and civilization concepts of the game world itself, her view of the battle of civilizations is still too ideal.
Roland knew very well that if there was no high-dimensional crushing and assimilation between civilizations, they would definitely be beaten to pieces.
The more they fight, the more they hate each other, and the more they hate, the more they fight. In the end, they become the same as fire and water.
Now the demon clan and the human world are actually on the same level.
Of course, it is the human world that hates the demons extremely.
The demons, on the other hand, look down on humans and regard them as food.
Although Phoenix left, the atmosphere in the room was still a bit dull.
After all... Phoenix is not a bad person. She also helped Andonara and was the ancestor of the brave family. She was angry and drove her away. Even though Andonara was firmly on Roland's side, the latter's mood was also Not very comfortable.
But Andonara would not blame Roland.
She clearly distinguishes between intimacy and distance.
"Actually, I think what she said makes sense. Why don't you want to cooperate with her, Roland?" Andonara put a glass of home-produced wine in front of the man: "I'm not speaking for her, I'm just out of curiosity."
Roland naturally understood that Andonara was not talking to the other party, but just looking for answers.
"The most important thing for the integration of different races is to have similar and common values." Roland explained: "Humanity is now an agricultural civilization, and the demons can be regarded as a nomadic civilization, or it is more appropriate to say that they are barbarians. For It is normal for humans to produce and sell things by themselves. This is the process of accumulating wealth. But for the demons, robbery is the best way to survive. They don’t care about production and just eat whatever they can around them. The resources can be used up in one go, resulting in a large population, which will soon lead to famine. At this time, they begin to think about launching wars around them to solve the problem. Whether they win or lose, for them, they can Solve the problem of overpopulation.”
Andonara felt a little dizzy after hearing this.
Although she is very strong, she is really not as knowledgeable as Roland.
Not to mention the concepts of agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization.
Ordinary people in the information age can understand the general meaning of such a concept at a glance. That is because everyone in the information age has received a large amount of knowledge and information in a subconscious process during their daily lives. They are so knowledgeable that they do not know. How much higher than the people in this world.
Therefore, as long as a concept is mentioned, most ordinary people in the information age can quickly call their own knowledge base to understand the meaning of these words.
But not Andonara!
She had never heard of such a concept and had no similar understanding.
Roland smiled: "To put it simply, or to put it harshly, it is the difference between an honest man and a robber."
After saying this, Andonara understood.
"Are you worried that after the demons come to the human world, even if they pretend to be good guys for hundreds of years, as long as there are enough of them, they will still show their true nature as bandits, right?"
Roland nodded: "Phoenix does not solve the demons' instinct to burn, kill, and rob, but comes to ask us to cooperate with the demons. This is a kind of arrogance in itself. If I do what he says, it will not be irresponsible to the human world. Yes. He was scolded to death.”
"Then you really can't cooperate with him." Andonara nodded.
Then the matter was never mentioned again.
Roland continued to wait for the foundation construction of the floating city while researching and developing some magic.
In reality, research has stalled.
Even if the number of experimental subjects is expanded, the final progress of the most talented people is still at the point where they can barely mobilize some magic power and use a spell hand or light spell.
Magical elements cannot be detected by scientific instruments for the time being.
On the contrary, the human spirit can perceive it.
This once again confirms the heretical theory that the human brain is the most advanced 'instrument'.
"Director, do we need to expand the recruitment of experimental subjects again?" Su Minluo put a plan on Roland's desk: "We can recruit experimental subjects from the army. According to our previous theory, people with better physical fitness will The more likely you are to have talent in this area.”
Su Minluo's suggestion actually makes sense.
Roland's physical fitness is now quite good.
After being strengthened by magic, his cells and bones were only seventeen years old.
This is the data measured more than ten times.
So there is a concept in the department that the better your physical fitness, the more talented you will be in casting magic
Think about the energy-consuming monster of the brain. Under normal human conditions, its energy consumption is as high as 20% or more.
If you want to use magic, you need more energy... Without a strong body to supply energy, how can you survive.
Roland thought for a while and said: "Theoretically your plan is feasible, but I don't know if the higher-ups will approve it. After all, our experiments are considered extremely secret. Will there be any bad effects if we rashly recruit people from outside? .”
"That is something that the leaders above have to consider." Su Minluo said calmly: "What we have to do is to raise the problem and provide solutions, and then the leaders will make the decision."
Su Minluo has been in the system for several years, and she knows how to do things here far better than Roland, a person who joined the company halfway.
Roland thought for a while and handed the plan to the person in charge of the base.
The person in charge read it carefully and then said, "I will give you a reply within a month."
Roland then went to the 'Invention Test Point' at the lowest level of the base.
This place is very wide, and the surrounding area is reinforced with a cement layer at least fifteen meters thick. According to Lu Yong, this cement wall contains a lot of lead powder.
There was no one else testing here now. After Roland swiped his card at the entrance to leave a record, he entered.
He rarely uses magic recently and has been accumulating magic power.
And use these magic powers to slowly strengthen the body.
Unlike in the game, magic is just pure energy.
The improvement of physical fitness depends entirely on the improvement of level.
But in the real world, Roland discovered that magic has the ability to change physical quality.
Now he can easily defeat Lu Yong, the deputy captain of the security team, even without using any strengthening magic.
This time, he wanted to use some magic power to get out.
After all, saving too much would be excessive.
A small blue fireball hit the concrete ground in front. After the thunderous explosion, there was a small circular pit one meter deep and about two meters in diameter on the cement ground.
"Damn, this is as powerful as a mortar."
In the monitoring room, someone couldn't help but cursed.
Roland's magic experiments are not a secret here. Every time he uses magic, many people will stay in the monitoring room to watch.
Most of them are security personnel. They have been exposed to a large number of weapons and know what kind of weapons such explosions must be used to produce similar effects.
The person in charge of the base is also among them. On the surface, he rarely interferes with Roland and almost doesn't care about the progress of Roland's experiments. But in fact, he is the person in the entire base who cares most about the results of Roland's experiments.
Because the document has been issued above, Roland himself and the experimental projects he presides over have the highest priority in the entire base.
none of them.
In other words, if Roland was scratched at the base, he would be questioned by the above.
But he couldn't control and protect Roland, so he could only worry.
And try to do a good job in security protection of the entire base.
Experimental safety precautions, security issues, etc., such meetings must be held every week, with repeated orders.
Then the group of people watched Roland flick his fingers and cast several small blue fireballs in succession, making craters on the ground in front of him.
"Wow, the comrades in the repair class are very busy."
"It's not busy, it's not busy." A certain comrade in the repair class looked at the surveillance video: "We are not afraid if there are more of these strange people. Now we are still too few."
There was laughter in the monitoring room.
At this time, the person in charge's receiver trembled slightly. He put away his smile, walked outside, connected the contact, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"There are comrades outside who have a high level of confidentiality and have sent a courier, saying it is to be sent to Comrade Huang Wenwei."
"Is the information on those comrades accurate?" the person in charge asked.
"We checked and they can be found in the system."
"Then you use the instrument to scan it, check it, and then send it to him."
"The problem is we can't detect what's in it."
"Huh? It can't be detected. What do you mean?"
"It's just that the scanning tool doesn't show what's inside the package, it's just a mosaic."
The person in charge was stunned: "Wait a minute, I remember that there is no function to display mosaic in the inspection tool."
"Yes, so we suspect that the thing inside the package itself is the mosaic."
After a moment of silence, the person in charge shouted in disbelief: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"No, what is shown is indeed Masek."
The person in charge rubbed his head: "Check the identity information of those comrades again. After confirming that there are no problems, let them in. I will take Comrade Huang to pick up the goods now. It may be something related to his ability."
After speaking, the person in charge went to find Roland.
Soon the two arrived at the entrance to the top base.
There were four young men in ordinary clothes standing at the entrance. After they saw Roland, one of them took out his mobile phone, pulled out Roland's information, checked it, and walked over to meet Roland.
Both parties shook hands and introduced each other.
Then the man said: "Comrade Huang, the express delivery has been delivered to you. Our mission has been completed. See you later."
"Thank you." Roland did not keep them here. This is a special research base with a high level of confidentiality. It is impossible to take in outsiders casually.
This is true even if the other party's confidentiality level is quite high.
What the four people handed to Roland was a very long bag.
Looking at the green-green bag, about one meter long, similar to a travel bag, Roland lowered his head to open it.
But at this time, the person in charge stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let's check first."
Even though the other party's confidentiality level is high, the person in charge of the base feels that the procedures that should be followed must still be followed.
Two security personnel wearing thick explosion-proof suits and holding transparent explosion-proof shields walked up.
They carefully hid behind the explosion-proof shield, turned half sideways, and carefully opened the bag.
The two men each scanned the bag with two different instruments and opened the bag to see if there was any listening device.
After at least five minutes of inspection, the test was over. One of them walked up to Roland holding a long, green stick.
"Comrade Huang, this is the only thing in the express bag."
The person in charge asked from the side: "Have you confirmed that it has been inspected?"
"There's no radiation, no electricity, and it's not explosive."
"That's okay."
In fact, they know in their hearts that this thing is probably not dangerous, but again, the process must go through.
Roland took the green stick.
In fact, he had a feeling just now that this stick was definitely not an ordinary thing.
As soon as he got it... Roland felt the magic power surging in his body.
Moreover, there is actually a pure energy in this green stick, which is slowly pouring into his body.
"This is... magic crystal?"
This was Roland's first reaction, but then he rejected the idea.
This kind of energy is very pure, and has no attributes. It is pure energy that can be absorbed by oneself and converted into magic power.
Seeing Roland's expression change drastically, the person in charge of the base who had been watching him was startled and asked hurriedly: "Comrade Huang, what's wrong?"
"I would like to ask, am I qualified to trace where this green, crystal-like thing was sent from?"
The person in charge of the base said solemnly: "The confidentiality level of the other party is quite high. We have no anti-tracing authority. The system only shows that they are our own internal personnel, but the specific work units and work locations are hidden. Why, this root Is there something wrong with the crystal stick?”
"Big problem, quite a big problem." Roland looked at the person in charge and said, "This is an energy bar. We are looking for it but we can't find it. It lies in the special energy of nature."
The face of the person in charge of the base changed.
He had been tracking the experimental progress of Roland's department and knew that Roland could not find magic energy in the air, so he had been overdrawing his body's vitality and converting it into magic power.
But now, someone directly sent an 'energy bar'!
In other words, there is another base doing similar experiments
And the progress is faster than here
Knowing that Roland's research had reached a bottleneck, he even sent him the key 'key'
Looking at the face of the person in charge of the base, Roland's heart was tumbling.
In fact, there are some things he didn't say.
The energy contained in this energy bar is quite terrifying.
Roland felt that he had absorbed it all, and it seemed that there would be no problem in building a smaller floating city in reality.
