Master of the Stars

Chapter 1576: The Slope of Life (Part 2)

Views:

On the southern ridge of the three spires, strong winds were blowing, causing the iconic wind impeller to continue to tremble and rotate, as if it was going to topple over the cliff at the next moment, but it never fell.

The blood demon was a little irritated. He waved away the "roots" that almost hit him and waited for the call to be connected.

Fortunately, despite the long wait, it finally got through. No matter what happened over there, he immediately shouted against the roaring wind:

"I said, is this tone too high

"I thought you could take me flying, but after a long time, I just wanted to turn everyone into cement pillars. Who can bear this... Hey, where are you?"

The environment on the opposite side seems to be quite complicated, with constant noises, like rumbling thunder or explosions, and a female voice. The voice is obviously clear, but the specific words are not clear.

After a second or two, the other side responded: "Are you talking about the speech in the internal forum? The part about the Slope of Life?"

"Who else could it be?"

The blood demon turned around. He walked far away on the Sky Ridge and kept a certain distance from everyone else, but he knew very well that someone was definitely listening to the call at this time.

Moreover, these people will definitely use the results of this monitoring as a basis for future decisions.

He didn't want to make this call, at least not right now. But the current situation, his own position and even the persona he has been managing for many years all force him to show his attitude.

At least give yourself a buffer.

The other person confirmed again unhurriedly, but the adolescent drake voice did not match the overall rhythm, and was somewhat weird: "It's about the positioning of the strong and the weak. Are you bringing in the strong or the weak?"

"Of course I am... I didn't bring it in, I just discussed the matter."

The blood demon subconsciously gave himself a layer of "neutral" protection, but soon found it boring and complained: "Is it interesting to work on the relative concept now? Judging from the tone of your words, it must be filled with extraordinary species, at least around me This is how everyone in this circle understands it.

"I said, you are already in this position, and it is a sensitive period. You should consider the impact of your words. Don't just fill in people at every turn, Boss Luo!"

The background noise on the opposite side dropped slightly, and Ronan's voice became clearer: "I never said the word 'fill in', I just said 'support'" ' and 'maintain'."

The blood demon couldn't wait: "Then let me explain it to everyone..."

But the other person smiled again: "Of course, it goes without saying that in this process, there will definitely be many people who will 'fill in' as you understand it, maybe including you, including me... But the possibility of you is not high, as long as It can be said to be 'probable'."

"I said, is it appropriate for you to say this?" The blood demon was very happy, and the stick clearly hit his head, "Even if I am optimistic by nature, I can't stop you from raising your flag like this... Do you want to think about it and say it again? ?”

"Yeah, sure." Ronan said obediently, "I'm actually talking about the 'distribution' process of a genetic racial group."

The blood demon scratched his head, feeling that he didn't even need to be demonized in his appearance, he had a tendency to turn into a husky:

"ha?"

"I remember I released the skill tree of 'True Communication'. It must have this subject on it."

This blood demon was somewhat impressed: "So?"

"So, the 'fabrication' process of a genetic racial group is like this: it needs to build a long, moderately sloped, upward road, that is, the 'slope of life', in order to break through the natural limitations imprinted in the genes. —Is this understandable?"

The blood demon grinned: "Probably, it means opening the 'gene lock'. Many people have been boasting about this in recent years. But now that it comes to the genetic level, I don't understand it even more. This has nothing to do with me being cursed." 'What does it matter?"

As he said that, the blood demon turned his head and looked at the others who were still lingering on the Sky Ridge. His voice was lowered, almost as if he was gritting his teeth: "Human beings have advanced further, and the problem can be solved by putting me on the dissecting table? What about now? Once all these extraordinary species have filled in the pits, can they find the path?"

"Obviously not."

Ronan seemed to be smiling, but also seemed to be sighing: "How can the 'Bulfa' be so simple? The entire process must take into account the life span of the individual and the reproduction of the population; to match the most common environment in the universe, appropriate Raise the standards and expand the scope more effectively; it is generally future-oriented, but the future is unknown, so it requires flexibility that can be continuously revised.

"Of course, we can ignore the issue of 'flexibility' first, which must be backed by the foundation of a super civilization before we can have enough energy to consider it; we can also put 'matching the cosmic environment' first... or at least 'raise the standard' first Let go, this is a task in the actual contact stage. But even the previous ones are too difficult to properly solve.

"The task at this stage is to build the 'Slope of Life' before the human species is destroyed. The most important thing is not who to pour into a cement pillar, nor who to sacrifice or who to sacrifice. Everything is just It’s about the ‘slope’.”

"Slope?" The blood demon's thoughts were taken away by Ronan, and he subconsciously asked.

"Yes, slope."

Ronan's drake voice is still the same, but the blood demon has basically ignored this element.

"The 'slope of life' is actually the 'distribution' process of the population, and its progress curve cannot be too flat or too steep.

"The slope is flat, development is weak, and strong people and pioneers who can verify the 'Bufa' structure have not been produced for a long time. Basically, it will be difficult to survive the torrent of time;

"The slope is steep, and the strong ones and pioneers are eager for quick success and quick gains. They cannot accumulate enough money. Without forming a more reliable plan, they rush to rush through the hurdles, and they will soon be exhausted. They will be unable to continue, and still cannot form a plan that is suitable for the entire population. 'Public version architecture'.

"The 'slope' is so important, so even the epoch-making powerhouses and pioneers need to appear at the right time and at the right node in order to play the 'support' role. It makes no sense to be ahead or behind.

"As for who will be 'filled in' at that time, it is not decided by me, you or others, but by this long climbing era, sifting out layer by layer from generation to generation.

"What we need to do is to make the process planning as reasonable as possible, neither flat nor steep, and effectively record every key node in the process, so that every time and everyone's 'filling in' can demonstrate its value. .”

The blood demon listened and stared at the sky with three spires. Lord Baifeng's "roots" invaded his field of vision from time to time and disturbed him, but in fact they were nothing compared to the confusion he would have caused by himself.

Ronan talked a lot, the amount of information was huge, and the hidden background was even more profound, but in fact, the great blood demon

You can probably understand what Ronan is talking about.

It seems that people at a certain level now basically know... at least they can guess that the "earth god" was born, and what supported him was probably the knowledge system of some "extraterrestrial civilization".

Just like people at this level speculated that Levi would do so.

What Ronan was thinking and saying at this time, perhaps only by casting his sights on the vast universe and facing the boundless sea of stars, could he have such a specific design, as well as the courage and means to implement it.

However, this is too far...

Or maybe, that speculative starry sky is actually very close to them

The blood demon was glad that it was daytime and he would not fall into the boundless starry sky. He tried to bring himself back to reality and laughed hard:

"You always say it's long, it's long. How do you mean it's long? Saying it makes people understand!"

"My current estimate of the construction plan for the 'Slope of Life' is approximately between one hundred and one hundred and fifty years. Well, it is exactly a 'hundred-year sequence' cycle."

The blood demon almost asked what the "hundred-year sequence" was, but he finally held back and kept the topic on track: "It looks like a really big plan. But have you ever considered that there is no one on this planet who thinks like you do?" There are very few people who think about things a hundred or even fifteen years from now. Everyone has other things in mind. To put it bluntly, everyone has selfish motives... "

At this point, the blood demon still felt that what he said was not clear enough, so he continued to talk earnestly: "Boss Luo, look, you have said so much, and you are talking about 'era screening', but in the final analysis, what is this 'fabrication method'?" ', the 'Slope of Life', oh, and the tens of billions plan you mentioned before, probably also included in this list.

"This kind of grand initiative to change the direction of the entire era is still yours. If it is you who decides the future direction and destiny of this planet - I am not saying that you are not qualified. It was Levi in the first fifty years, and it is you now. , there is nothing wrong with it. But you should have heard that sentence, the initiator... "

"Is there any consequences?" Ronan was very cooperative.

"What I mean is, if everyone... well, among the extraordinary species at this stage, there are one or a few who happen to be stuck in the node and have been filtered out by the 'era'. They have to fill in" Go in and be used as a pawn. No matter what the details of the process are, their grievances are definitely still directed at you."

With that said, the blood demon turned back again to see those people on the Sky Ridge. Several of them were also casting unpredictable looks at him.

Xue Yaoliang gave them a middle finger, turned around and continued: "In the same way, in the next one hundred or fifty years, all the people who are selected out may hate this era, but the first definite target of hatred is , it’s still you!”

Ronan seemed to be smiling: "Do you hate it?"

The blood demon wished he could reach out and grab his neck: "I know you don't care, and you have the right to not care. In your eyes, there are always big plans of one hundred or one hundred and fifty years. But the problem now is, between you and the Deep Blue World The conflict over there is about to break out!

"At this time, the first thing is to seize the time to gain strength, okay? To put it in the most realistic terms, the camp is always more important than the principle. If we lose, how can we have a future now?"

The blood demon had spoken with all his heart and soul to this point, but he still didn't get a clear response from Ronan. He could only sigh and try his best to hold on:

"I still want to remind you that the stall you are setting up now is really too big. Since the summit meeting, there has been basically no time to calm down. At present, you are indeed launching an all-out offensive against Levi on earth, and no one will do it on the surface. Against your will, but..."

Ronan interrupted him: "The purpose of taking the position in front of other people's doors and playing tricks for a while is to set conditions and negotiate prices in the future. It's not about going to the sword - you taught me, I remember."

The blood demon was obviously stunned for a few seconds: "You remember! So..."

"So, where does this go?"

Although Ronan has a male duck voice, his statement is clear from beginning to end: "I made a lot of aggressive moves, but I don't think I gained depth from them. Because Levi hasn't really made a move yet, once he Take action and the situation may turn around immediately.

"I don't think this has stepped on everyone's bottom line, because until now, many people have done nothing and have not stepped on thunder. They don't know the real situation they are facing. Once it gets to that point, many people People will think about it from another perspective.”

The blood demon blurted out: "You mean the tiger?"

Ronan laughed: "It seems that everyone knows it well."

The blood demon couldn't help but laugh. He felt that Ronan was unbelievably tough. This wasn't about killing a few people or shouting a few slogans - it was about having clear strategic goals, measures to achieve them, and an oath that would not be achieved until the goals were achieved. Determination to give up and solid execution ability.

When a person who engages in cutting-edge theory walks out of the laboratory and becomes an engineer, and must immediately implement his theoretical results, things become more terrifying.

However, at this time, Ronan still prefers to talk about some theoretical issues: "You said that everyone only cares about the present, I don't think so. Now, the initial 'gentle slope' has not been built yet, everyone is thinking about how to build the 'steep slope' , it’s quite far-sighted—in fact, I thought you would be very nervous about the issue of ‘slope’ and level.”

"What's the meaning?"

"A low slope means slow progress. If that happens, many people in 'Everyone' may not be able to survive until they are poured into cement pillars, well, including you."

"Bah, bah, bah, I've reached this level, and it's no problem to live a long life."

"Really? Who said that I don't know what I will be like in another ten or twenty years?"

“…”

"How about you point me to a hundred-year-old extraordinary species?"

The blood demon became angry for a moment: "Aren't you using strong words? How long has it been since the era of distortion began? How many years have we been exposed to extraordinary power? It's so easy to come out with a hundred-year-old extraordinary being. Oh, there are a few who are about to reach the end of their age, And I asked you to kill one."

He was talking about Gong Qi.

Ronan ignored the argument: "I just want to say that the combination of the high-energy environment, the distorted environment, and the path planned for you by instructor Levi, neither the external environment nor the internal logic are enough to support you." , and the human population on this planet for too long.”

The blood demon was silent for a few seconds, surprisingly without any doubts, and only said: "Is this the result of your research?"

"Um."

"So how long do you mean by 'too long'? Seventy years, fifty years?"

Blood Demon is basically Naronan

The upper limit of the "Century Plan" was cut in half, but there was no definite response.

"I don't know." Ronan said frankly. "The specific number of years needs to be evaluated based on the local time and space, the fog maze, the deep blue world, and Levi's plans and actions. That's why I hope everyone will go on an adventure together to figure out the situation." Be clearer.”

The blood demon muttered: "Your reason is not convincing at all."

"Then let's wait and see."

At this point, everything that should be said and should not be said has been said, and the blood demon has no strength to continue to talk earnestly, so he can only buffer it first:

"Well, everyone is very curious about what exactly you are doing now."

Ronan simply responded: "Prepare some equipment and vehicles for adventure."

"vehicle?"

"The adventure is expected to take a long time... Can you stay in the fog maze for a long time?"

The blood demon scratched his head: "I haven't tried this yet. It is said to be quite laborious? You can even prepare special vehicles. It seems that you really want to dig something out of them... But I still have to say, your crappy slogan, Let this 'adventure' be full of twists and turns."

Ronan no longer paid attention to the "slogans" and "tones", and only said: "The vehicle is still undergoing final testing, probably today. I will send you the structure of the vehicle.

"The mental side should be fine, mainly the physical side. Each situation is different. You have to see if it can be assembled and used. If you are familiar with it, you can send a few more and give me feedback."

After a few more words, the blood demon hung up the communication angrily after failing to achieve its goal.

Without the interference of the local time and space signal, Ronan raised his head and stared at the dim and damaged steel tunnel in front of him. He held on to the broken wall and continued to walk forward slowly.

Aunt Kui's voice continued to linger in her ears, constantly reminding her of the status of relevant areas and the battle damage of multiple monitoring targets.

The pure universal language of Tianyuan brought Ronan back to that unique dream in a trance. It's just that at this moment, the reserved and enthusiastic young gentleman is no longer around him - that Liang Lu has most likely turned into a part of the endless sand and dust in the mist maze, accompanying the sun wheel in endless rotation.

So, what is the relay station in the dream

Is it the memory of his youth that was specially stripped out

A virtual classroom to guide possible inheritors on Earth

Or are the remaining fragments slightly connected to the current world

Ronan didn't want to get to the bottom of this issue. He just chewed on the knowledge and memory gained in the relay station bit by bit. Integrate what you gained at that time with the background of new knowledge, trying to discover more details that may have been overlooked.

At present, he has not made any breakthrough progress. It just makes the area where he is currently located - the "base" located deep in the mist maze and the center of the "battlefield time and space" he "rubbed" with his hands, more and more similar to the relay station in the dream.

Restoring the "relay station" base in his dream was originally an obsessive wish he had in the process of "rubbing time and space."

Now this obsession is turning into reality bit by bit - at least getting started.

In addition to the recent improvement in Tianyuan's cultural classes, a considerable part of the reason is the return of "Aunt Kui", which has greatly improved the ability to query and integrate external neuron data.

Ronan has even begun to build the "honeycomb" structure in the core area of the base, basically completing its complex space-time structure that connects local time and space and spatial faults.

Of course, this is also the reason why "battlefield time and space" is easier to work with.

The next step is to slowly restore more than 40,000 "worker bee grid" modules and the hundreds of functional areas they are spliced together, as well as the complex pipe network that runs through the entire base, allowing the "relay station" to regain the brain of "Aunt Kui" After that, the heart, blood supply, and nervous system were rebuilt.

This is undoubtedly a big project.

Even if Ronan is almost an omnipotent creator in the "battlefield time and space", even with the support of "Aunt Kui" and almost all the relevant information, it is not easy to complete the reconstruction and construction.

What's more, this can only be regarded as a "little entertainment" for Ronan after his intense work, and it is impossible to spend too much time on it; sometimes there are mistakes in the template construction of "Battlefield Time and Space", and all must be smashed without mercy... so Over and over again, don’t expect too much progress.

Anyway, Ronan is happy to study here and strive for excellence.

At this time, Ronan had arrived at the "forward position" of the base. His eyes first passed over several severely damaged permanent infrastructure modules around him, and then he turned to the desolate wilderness ahead.

The fierce, chaotic fighting continued.

The fighting machines in the base, the monsters and aliens wandering in the wasteland, the cloud platform reflected in the magneto-optical mica in the sky, and the mass-produced suture monsters all the time, conquer and fight against each other endlessly.

Use their battles to detect all possible weaknesses and hidden wounds in the "battlefield space and time", and also test each other's strength and rationality.

When there is no hunting mission, this is basically how "battlefield time and space" works. However, as Ronan continues to "fiddle", there have been new changes recently

In the dark clouds, figures shrouded in dazzling light descended from the sky.

The brilliant light seemed to liquefy, forming a physical armor outside the person. However, the current situation does not seem to reflect the defensive capabilities of the armor. The light that bursts out from it is extremely sharp and invincible.

Whether it is a combat machine blessed by the "war field", a cluster of suture monsters made of magneto-optical mica, or those monsters and aliens contaminated by the remnants of the strong field in the fog maze, if it is stained, it will basically be pierced, burned, and melted instantly. , there is almost no enemy.

So much so that a tester who had just returned from the dark clouds had to make a long circle to get to Ronan's location.

The vehicle that Snake Whisper was riding disintegrated almost as soon as it hit the ground, turning into smoke like gray mist, lingering around the body, and then being retracted into the veil of silence one after another.

This is her unique way of applying the vehicle, which also reflects the good adaptability and plasticity of the vehicle.

Ronan glanced at her: "Apollyon hasn't arrived yet?"

Snake Whisper still adhered to the polite but distant etiquette, bowing to greet Ronan before replying: "Mr. Apollyon is probably a little far away."

After saying that, she turned to look at the area where the sun seemed to be falling, and couldn't help but admire softly:

"Is this the true god's battle mode?"
