Many times, Hao Ren can deeply understand the huge difference in values between different races, especially when dealing with sea monsters, this difference in values is even more obvious—no matter how close this group of deep-sea saltwater fish seems to be Basic life forms, but they are still elemental creatures in essence. The biggest difference between elemental creatures and ordinary life is that their cognition of the material world is different from ordinary people, just like now, the siren queen is so solemnly transported from the earth A whole lot of junk (at least a third of it was junk), and Eva was kinda happy looking at it...
Hao Ren even saw a soaked big-toed leather shoe among the presents. He didn't know which siren picked it up when he went for a walk on the beach, and he found out, not without despair, that in Katrina's worldview This thing here is also a seafood of the earth, and she has already begun to instill this idea in Eva with a serious face...
To be precise, in the Siren's world view, as long as it is in the sea, it is considered seafood—including swimming rings, drifting bottles, offshore drilling platforms, and Jack who sank with the Titanic...
On this basis, Katrina described to Eva the living environment of the sea monsters on the earth. Eva listened with great interest, and Hao Ren didn't know what kind of earth this sea spirit had outlined in his "mind". The picture of the ocean, anyway, it must be completely different from the ocean in human cognition.
"I'm very... happy!" Eva surged happily around Katrina and the sea monsters, and the sound of splashing water echoed across the sea, "It's also very good here! There are fish, aquatic plants, and iron. Island! People on Iron Island have recently learned how to eat fish and aquatic plants!"
Hao Ren looked at Eva with a smile: "How are you getting along with those immigrants?"
"Okay!" Eva fell down with a clatter, and turned into a tumbling splash in front of Hao Ren. In each splash, there was a little Eva jumping around, as if her mind was growing rapidly. Their own control ability is also increasing day by day, "They were afraid to leave the Iron Island at first, but then I told them that there was food in the water, and they started to go to the water... But they have to take a boat, they can't do it in the water. alive."
"Not all creatures can survive in water," Hao Ren smiled. "It's just right, I should also go to see Lawrence. I don't know if he led the Ark immigrants to rebuild the social order or not."
In the next itinerary, the heterogeneous tourists from the earth will dive into the deep sea under the leadership of the sea monsters to visit the ruins of ancient kingdoms under the sea. Under the guardianship of the siren and Eva's care, this trip to the deep sea will be quite safe. Except for a few vampires in the team who are somewhat resistant to this, everyone is looking forward to this trip to the bottom of the sea. After the sightseeing team set off, Hao Ren led his little friends to the floating cities to check the living conditions of these alien visitors who came with the ark on this planet.
The situation is satisfactory, even a bit beyond Hao Ren's expectations: the floating city group itself still presents the vicissitudes of the 10,000-year-old vicissitudes, but the residents living in those ancient buildings are still different from before. A completely different mental outlook. They used to be numb and ignorant, living in a pile of ancient life-support machines that were about to shut down, looking at the unchanging gray city every day, fighting each other for a little bit of circulating food ration, even in the streets and alleys They built up those little ridiculous kingdoms in time, and fought like primitive men. But now, the steel sky covering them has been opened, a vast world far beyond their imagination has appeared outside the barrier, and a new order is quietly established under the leadership of the spiritual leader Lawrence. The residents of the Ark had to start working hard to rebuild their homes and open up living space. They still wore old and tattered clothes, and many living materials were even ancient products excavated from the ruins. However, the emergence of the new world has brought these people With some kind of hope, the entire floating city group presents an atmosphere of "coming alive".
You can see workers building houses and repairing streets everywhere, and you can hear the beating and roaring of machines from the workshops everywhere. The ancient generators are running again, and the boilers that have been cooled for thousands of years are also being re-ignited. Prepare, those workers and technicians who have just completed their studies and training drilled between the mottled and rusted steel, trying to make this metal city work again—although everything still looks old and abandoned, but now Among these old machines, the activity of "people" can already be seen.
Of course, the shadows left by the era of colonial spaceships still linger in every corner of the floating urban agglomeration. After all, the people in these spaceships have experienced a civilization that lasted thousands of years, and it has only been a year since they regained civilization. , It is very difficult to fundamentally change this society, even with the support of religious power and strong spiritual belief. Although Hao Ren did not investigate deeply, he could still see that the system of the original dynasty still remained in this exiled civilization, and the internal barriers caused by the division into several kingdoms had not been eliminated. It would take a whole generation to change this. effort.
But what they do is good enough.
Hao Ren and his party found Lawrence in Honglu, the ancestor of the Ark of the Throne, which is now the "capital" of the floating urban agglomeration. This old man is the spiritual leader of the Ark civilization and the de facto ruler of the floating urban agglomeration today. , after relying on the power of religious belief, he has completely stabilized his position in the ethnic group, and under this premise, he successfully implemented his civilization recovery plan.
Lawrence was very happy about the visit of Hao Ren and his party. Wearing a plain white robe, he stood on the high platform in front of the ancestor's furnace and looked down at the city below. He said with emotion, "After a year, they finally understand How to survive in this new world. At the beginning, they even had to learn the concept of the sky from scratch, adapting to the alternation of day and night, the phenomenon of rain and snow... It was a really difficult time."
"The most difficult days are finally over, isn't it?" Vivienne said with a smile, "Your ability amazes us. We never thought that you would do so well... to cheer up a society with such a severe civilization break Wake up and start rebuilding so quickly, it's not something ordinary people can do."
"It's easy to rebuild materially, but it's hard to rebuild spiritually," Lawrence shook his head. "It will take a long time to change them mentally. I'm just taking the first step. We are currently The most important task is to repair the buildings damaged during the spaceship deployment, provide survival guarantee for those 'vagrants' who lack the most basic means of living, and repair some simple facilities in the city, which is far from rebuilding society. However, I have started a new plan. I have established a school in the center of the city of thrones. The first batch of students will learn basic scientific knowledge and cultural knowledge there. Spread the word. After ensuring the survival of the foundation, the first priority is education. I hope that at least this generation of young people under the age of 20 can complete the reshaping of the worldview within three to five years, so that they can have sufficient resources in the next step of construction. talent."
Hao Ren nodded: "Yes. By the way, I saw personnel activities in several other floating cities just now. Are you planning to expand some of the population there?"
"At present, I am just doing some preliminary investigation work," Lawrence said, "The other several immigrant starships have been isolated from the Throne for hundreds to thousands of years, and the above situation is completely unfamiliar to me. , so we must investigate clearly in advance. On this planet without land, we will sooner or later expand the scope of our activities to other immigrant starships—after all, the floating city group is our only foothold on this planet.”
Standing on the edge of the platform, Lily looked around curiously, and suddenly saw something new in the square below. It was a large pool with two statues of goddesses standing in the center of the pool. Such a building is obviously already a great project, so the husky girl immediately yelled: "Ah! This is your new statue of the ice and fire twin goddesses? Wow... I look so handsome..."
"In the initial stage of civilization recovery, spiritual support and religious guidance are the best and most necessary means," Lawrence said, "because the people at this stage lack sufficient awareness, and you cannot Tell them why they should do this, so I can only tell them that they must do this with an absolutely irresistible reason. In fact, we also plan to erect a statue for the goddess Eva, the master of the sea, but that goddess... a little mischievous, she always Let her image change around, and sometimes deliberately change some forms that we can't understand to play with us, so in the end I chose to use the basic element 'water' to represent her, and every statue is associated with water , water is everywhere, which symbolizes the ubiquity of Eva. I think maybe in the future we will become a nation that worships water... "
"However, this initial stage will end sooner or later," Hao Ren reminded, "Humans must learn to walk on their own."
"Of course," Lawrence laughed, "we won't live in these ruins forever, besides... our lease on this planet is only for two hundred years."
Hao Ren shrugged: "Depending on the situation, if you can't find a suitable new home, it is possible to renew your lease at that time."
At this time, Nangong Wuyue frowned suddenly. She seemed to hear some voices, and she pretended to be listening, and then poked Hao Ren's arm with the tip of her tail: "Landlord, Her Majesty Katrina just sent a message saying that The baby is looking for you, it seems that there is something I want to give you."
