——Oh, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty version.
At first, when Ian listened to Master Gosei's words, he felt a little relaxed.
But the more he heard about it, the heavier his heart became. Until the end, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "It's hard to change the world."
In fact, Ian has thought about related issues day and night over the past four years.
In this world with extremely strong personal force, the basis of rule may not even be the people, but the "sublimators"... This is based on productivity and objective laws.
The basis of the Ascendants is derived from natural ecology or Warcraft materials in the labyrinth. They do not need ordinary food. Even like Isengard, ordinary food is even regarded by them as impurity that "increases the probability of distortion"
things.
Now that the labyrinth transformation has been completed and a large number of basic Warcraft materials can be produced in batches, and even some advanced Warcraft materials, sublimators can even completely separate themselves from ordinary people and create a new independent ecosystem.
The reason why they didn't give up was just because the bloodline nobles couldn't guarantee that all their descendants would be sublimated ones. Being able to inherit them didn't mean they could practice, not to mention that there was a risk of the bloodline seeds deteriorating.
The new sublimators born among ordinary people are also an extremely important source of strength for a large organization. Abrupt abandonment will only lead to the destruction of one's own organization by other organizations.
In the final analysis, there is justice in numbers. With the same strength, only two Ascendants can defeat one Ascended One.
How to require, educate, or tame this group of sublimated ones so that they can be used by society, people, and civilization is the way to create great achievements and realize dreams on the continent of Terra.
After all, sublimators are not fools, they are even far smarter than ordinary people. They can also use tools, develop technology, and explore scientific truths. They are not barbarians who can only use mysterious powers - their existence itself is the condensed pursuit of truth.
.
If you blindly focus on ordinary people without turning them into Ascended Ones, you will not be able to bring out the most productive side of Terra. If nothing else, it will be difficult to drive the armor.
But turning all of them into sublimates, regardless of the resource issue, the collective will face the backlash of human selfish desires amplified by power... And this backlash is ten thousand times more ferocious than the earth!
On Earth, one person's strength cannot resist the system, but Terra is different...
This is a fundamental difference. Different worlds, different civilizations, many historical experiences cannot be learned from, and cannot be followed blindly, otherwise it will be dogmatism.
He needs to find the real path by himself.
Having made up his mind, Ian was actually not particularly worried about these issues - at least these issues were things that he would have to think about after he conquered the world, or at least captured the empire.
Now that I think about it, it's actually too early.
Inaga II is so unpopular, it is actually quite understandable - who would expect a saint to manage everyone according to the standards of a saint? It is a very simple thing, a saint can eat chaffy vegetables, but the emperor, the prince,
Ministers and nobles and bachelors from all walks of life cannot do this.
but.
From Hilliard's story, Ian believed that Inaga II was not such an impatient guy.
The lifespan of an Ascended One is not long, but it is not short either. Count him from the time he ascends the throne to becoming a tyrant who dominates the world. Count him for fifty years. After that, there will be another hundred years, enough for the two third-in-commands, Inaga II and Hilliard.
The five-level strongman slowly plotted against him and cut his flesh with soft knives. There was no need to force the entire empire's sublime-aristocratic system to fight him desperately.
While he is alive, he can definitely realize his dream.
unless……
"not enough time."
A flash of light flashed in his heart, and Ian suddenly raised his head, staring at the ceiling of the cabin under the puzzled gaze of Master Gosei. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick ice and rock formations and reach straight to the ocean and the starry sky above the sky.
.
In that empty and dim sky, something happened that almost everyone on the continent of Terra could not understand... Only stargazers and those who looked up at the sky would pay attention.
"The stars are disappearing...the alien creatures that came through fire, the many migrating ecosystems...the reason why the Terrans are fully developing interstellar technology..."
"If that is a time standard, or a prediction..."
Slowly retracting his gaze, Ian suppressed his suddenly anxious thoughts, and shook his head slightly, thinking to himself: "Now, there is one more reason to go to the ruins database to check the star pictures of the pre-era literature."
"The abnormality in the starry sky should be the reason why Inaga II is so urgent."
As for the fact that his teacher is actually quite popular... Ian can actually see that.
Hilliard has actually not concealed his identity for more than 20 years. He is known as the most wanted criminal in the empire, and there is no entire Grand Knights on standby to capture and imprison him. There must be some power behind this.
.
The previous generation of Inspector Knights may have been completely wiped out because of their ill will towards Hilliard, but it was more likely to be an attempt to eliminate the Black King's influence and replace them with a group of 'Forbidden Knights' who were loyal to them.
But he still couldn't expose it - Master Gosei didn't know about the 'Legacy of Inaga', so he could be so optimistic.
As long as he is exposed, he will still attract the attention of many big shots.
After thinking about this, Ian didn't say much, but turned around under the gaze of Master Gosei, opened the door, and left.
"I really didn't expect that the current emperor of the empire can also be considered my senior brother?"
Getting rid of those rather heavy topics in his mind, Ian tried to amuse himself: "So, I am Ethan's little master? Ah, this seniority joke was played last time."
He is in a much better mood - Ian has always been optimistic and will find fun for himself.
The communication with Master Gosei did not take too long. When the boy walked out of the cabin, the team was selecting useful supplies from the ships stranded on the ice abyss and preparing for the next action.
Alchemical artillery can be pushed away if it can be pushed away on wheels, but most artillery pieces are abandoned.
"It feels like there is no need to waste it so much. Those gun barrels, with a little modification, should be able to be transformed into recoilless rifles or large supercharged guns."
Ian has studied inscriptions and alchemy for so many years, coupled with the bonuses and design drawings brought by the silver chip, he can naturally see at a glance that those abandoned artillery are not completely worthless, and with the physical fitness of the Terran people, several
It is not difficult for a sailor to carry a trot, and the logistical pressure is different from that on Earth.
However, when he planned to reuse and modify those weapons while everyone was preparing supplies.
An accident happened.
The accident came from the sky - the wind and snow in the ice abyss suddenly became stronger, so that everyone felt that the frost moths and deformed ape beasts were coming again at that time, so they nervously put down their work and began to prepare for war.
Noisy shouts interspersed in the camp. Although orderly scheduling and regularity soon gradually returned, it was enough to prove everyone's nervousness.
And Isengard, after sending scouts and observers to observe the situation, also came to the cabin immediately, preparing to protect Master Gosei.
"Ian, this battle..."
He seemed to want to ask Ian about the arrangements for the upcoming battle - unknowingly, Isengard had regarded this peer as someone he could truly rely on, even equal to Master Gosei.
But the blond boy saw Ian raising his head in confusion and looking into the air.
On his exquisite face, there was a rare expression of "disbelief" and "surprise". Such an expression appeared on the prophet who always had no plans... It could even be said that it was a bit cute.
Puzzled, Isengard also raised his head and looked at the sky, but found nothing.
However, Ian stretched out his hand towards the sky.
The young white people, who were almost confused with the wind and snow, stretched out their hands towards the wind and snow, as if they wanted to touch something soft and fragile.
Immediately afterwards...
A white, snowflake-like little 'goblin' appeared in the wind and snow.
