Hearing Gawain's answer, Tire blinked. She didn't speak, but motioned for Gawain to continue.
After all, she doesn't know much about the human world. Although the sea monster seems to observe the situation on the mainland from time to time, the information is not closed, but Tire himself is obviously not the kind of character who cares about news from foreign races.
"You should know what happened on this continent seven hundred years ago," Gawain sighed, and first roughly explained the current technological chronology of mankind. "At that time, the Gondor Empire was the most advanced country on the continent, but the Deep Blue Well's The big bang led to a great decline in our technology, and due to the irreproducibility of the deep blue well and the annihilation of all high-end talents in the ancient empire, our technological decline is far beyond your imagination. What we have declined is not only technology, but also Social structure and people’s level of thinking. Today, the production technology levels of all human countries are still as you said. A few craftsmen and magicians make some handmade products in their own workshops or laboratories. Ideas such as industrial mass production can be said to be blank.”
After a short pause, Gao Wen continued, "The Cecil Territory is the only place currently trying to establish an industrial system. I don't know if you can understand the word industrial system I created in the common language of mankind. In short, I hope A brand-new production and development model can be established. I hope that the power of magic, which is convenient, can be popularized and become a tool that everyone can use instead of the privilege of a few. I hope to use the power of tools and wisdom to mass-produce industrial products, just like the rune substrates produced on the machine assembly line in front of you.”
As he spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Tier's expression. He saw that the careless expression on the face of the siren lady finally faded away. Tier was listening carefully, and his eyes became very focused, with beautiful blue hair. The end of the long hair even emits shimmering particles, which may be a sign of her happy mood
After Gao Wen temporarily finished speaking, Tire blinked and asked seriously, "After this?"
"Sufficient living materials will change our society, the way people get along with each other, social relations, as well as the law and class system on top of that, will all change," Gao Wen said frankly, "There is no doubt , that's what I'm after."
"Interesting, you're more interesting than I imagined." Till swung his long snake tail and arched around Gawain. To be honest, if this salty fish spirit's walking posture could not be so embarrassing, her b-status would at least double. "Your thinking surpasses that of your compatriots, even your compatriots in the so-called advanced empire more than seven hundred years ago. I probably know something about the Gondor Empire. It is indeed a very powerful human empire, and its magic technology is very advanced. Developed, but that is only an illusion supported by a natural energy pool. For a long time, various civilizations on this continent, even the still powerful silver elf civilization, have lagged behind unbelievably. The abundant resources on this continent You have been nurtured by the convenient magic environment, and your minds have been severely restrained, but there is such a different kind of you on this continent."
Tyre squeezed his chin, and lightly made a rather unfavorable evaluation of all the kingdoms on the entire continent. However, Gawain knew that she was fully qualified to make such an evaluation given the other party's level of civilization. This was objective and It's true, and the more pleasing point is that from Tire's attitude, he can roughly infer that the development route taken by the sea monster is probably the same as himself.
They should have also embarked on the path of using technology to promote the development of productive forces and liberating productive forces to promote social progress.
"I have experienced a glorious and developed era, and I have seen what an advanced civilization looks like with my own eyes. I once led a group of people to strive to expand their territory in the wilderness, hoping to rebuild that glorious civilization," Gao Wen said lightly. He breathed a sigh of relief, flipped through the memories from Gawain Cecil, and also flipped through his own memories from the earth, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Then I slept for seven hundred years, and when I woke up, I found Instead of returning to its glory, this society has become more backward, more decayed, and more corrupt. I can't stand this kind of backwardness and decay, so I naturally want to do something, even if it's just to make my life more comfortable. develop."
"I agree, many advances in technology are just to make myself sleep more comfortably." Tire happily shook the tip of his tail, and suddenly asked another question, "But don't worry if one day magic really spreads. When everyone, even ordinary people, can use magic to rebel against the ruler, will your rule be threatened?"
Gawain couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "If most of the people are forced to the point where they want to use fireball to blow up their lord, then this lord should have died long ago. I always firmly believe that if a monarch or A lord can only use violence and oppression to rule his own people, so his rule is not rule at all, because any jackal, tiger or leopard can do the same thing as him.
"As for the consequences of popularizing magic, new contradictions may really arise, but I believe its benefits will far outweigh the risks. Technology develops through popularization. If you want to get more talents, you must let More people have the opportunity to get in touch with these technologies, so that the learning and research of technologies has no or very low thresholds, so that enough researchers can be produced under the huge population base, and the secrets of the truth in the world can be truly revealed. Instead of being like now, only a few talented people can use magic, and their research is all wasted on maintaining their dignity and improving their personal strength. Even if a million years pass, there will only be a few more great magicians in the world. , as long as a demon tide comes over, even if these great magicians survive, human civilization will still be gone. Then these great magicians will go to the deep mountains and wild forests to live like savages fighting wild beasts for territory."
Tyre stared at Gawain for a while, then turned her head to look at the machines that were banging and casting runes. The tip of her tail slapped the factory floor unconsciously. After a long time, she suddenly lost her head. My brain said, "It would be nice if you could wake up a few years earlier."
"What?" Gao Wen heard it, but he didn't understand what it meant, "Why did you wake up a few years ago?"
"The Great Demonic Tide is indeed approaching." Tyr turned his head suddenly and stared into Gawain's eyes seriously. "The Demonic Tide will cause devastating damage to all civilizations. Because we sea monsters are elemental creatures, we are naturally resistant to the Demonic Tide." There is a certain resistance, so you can survive many times, but you human beings with flesh and blood cannot escape the material reshaping in this process.
"We have always had a conjecture that if the magic tide is a natural phenomenon, then any natural phenomenon should have rules to follow and principles that can be investigated. However, due to our own particularities, we sea monsters have not Find out what the underlying principles and laws are, but we believe in the correctness of this idea
"The technological advancement and the way of exploring the truth you are looking for are very consistent with our guess. I think the route you are taking may be right, but I am worried that you woke up too late."
Gao Wen didn't know what expression to make on his face, and many words finally turned into an awkward and stiff smile, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Don't you think it's shocking to say these words directly?"
"Our sea monsters are used to talking straight to the point," Tyre's attitude was very calm, "and I'm used to being pessimistic first, you can look at it optimistically, after all, I also said that the cycle of the magic wave is not so accurate, maybe it This time it will be postponed for a thousand or eight hundred years. You or your descendants will figure out the technology to resist the magic tide, or if you make a big improvement in technology, it is not impossible to understand the principle of the magic tide in two years .”
Gao Wen twitched his lips, "You're being overly optimistic when you say that. I might as well expect that there really is an omnipotent creator in this world. The day before the outbreak of the demon tide, he suddenly changed the world's settings so that human civilization can live longer." It's Yongchang."
"Who knows," Tyr shrugged his shoulders and tipped his tail, "Sometimes the progress of civilization is unreasonable and illogical. Time falls from the peak to the abyss, but as long as you are alive, you have to have some hope, we sea monsters believe in one thing, that is, as long as you are alive, there is always something worth looking forward to in life."
Gawain looked at this self-proclaimed pessimistic siren in surprise, always felt that her words contained deep meaning, but when he looked carefully again, Tire's face returned to that careless and lazy look.
She turned around and continued to observe the operation of the machines curiously. Gao Wen smiled and followed to prevent the seafood from affecting the work of the workers in the rune foundry.
But at this moment, there was a loud noise outside the factory gate. Gawain frowned and saw a lightly armed Cecil combat soldier rushing in.
The soldier trotted all the way to Gao Wen, gave a hurried military salute, panted heavily and said quickly, "My lord, there is movement at that door."
"Gate..." Gao Wen frowned, "Don't be so rambunctious, catch your breath, and explain what's going on."
The soldier quickly adjusted his state, took a deep breath and reported, "It's the ring-shaped magic gate at the bottom of the ancient facility. The soldier guarding the gate reported that it was changing and seemed to be activated."
"The door activated by itself." This time even Gao Wen was dumbfounded. He thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Go and inform Hetty, um, and Pittman, and let them come over immediately."
Then he turned his head to look at Tyre, "You go back first."
"Farewell, I'll go with you to have a look," Tire immediately wagged his tail, "every day I heard you mention that there is an ancient facility in the mountain, what kind of crystallization of technology from the Gondor Empire, etc., I am curious. If the place is classified, I won't go there."
Gawain looked at Tire, hesitated a little, but finally nodded, "That's fine, if you want to come along, maybe your knowledge can be useful."
He thought of the fact that the ruins in the mountain had once studied the flesh and blood of gods. If the door at the bottom of the ruins leads to a place related to gods, then Tyre, a deep-sea god who dared to devour the flesh and blood of gods, might have some effect. Can be an appraiser too
