Many times, Hao Ren can deeply understand the huge differences 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 to carbon-based
Life forms, but they are essentially a kind of elemental creatures. The biggest difference between elemental creatures and ordinary life is that their understanding of the material world is different from ordinary people. Just like now, the Siren Queen has been transported from the earth so solemnly.
A lot of rags (at least one-third of them are rags), and Eva looked quite happy...
Hao Ren even saw a big leather shoe that had been soaked among the gifts. He didn't know which siren picked it up when he went for a walk on the beach. Moreover, he was disappointed to find that in Katrina's world view,
This thing here can be considered a seafood product of the earth, and she has begun to instill this idea in Eva seriously...
To be precise, in Siren's worldview, anything in the sea is considered seafood, including swimming rings, floating 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 Earth. Eva listened with great interest. Hao Ren didn't know what kind of earth this ocean spirit had sketched in his "mind".
The picture of the ocean is definitely completely different from the ocean in human cognition.
"I'm... happy!" Eva surged happily around Katrina and the sea monsters, and the sound of rushing 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 splash and turned into a tumbling splash of water in front of Hao Ren. In each splash, there was a little Eva jumping around. It seemed that with her rapid growth of mind, her understanding of
His own control ability is also increasing day by day. "They didn't dare to leave 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 had to take a boat, and they couldn't do it.
Live in the water."
"Not all creatures can survive in the water," Hao Ren smiled, "Just in time, it's time for me to go see Lawrence. I don't know if he is going smoothly with the Ark immigrants to rebuild social order."
In the next trip, the alien tourists from the earth will dive into the deep sea under the leadership of the sea monsters to visit the ruins of the ancient kingdom on the seabed. Under the care of the sea monsters and the care of Eva, this deep sea journey
It will be quite safe. Except for a few vampires in the team who were a little resistant to this, everyone was looking forward to this underwater trip. After the sightseeing team set off, Hao Ren led his friends there.
Floating city clusters to see how these extraterrestrial visitors who came with the Ark are living on this planet.
The situation was satisfactory, even a little beyond Hao Ren's expectations: the floating urban cluster itself still showed the vicissitudes of life after ten thousand years of wind and frost, but the residents living in those ancient buildings had the same characteristics as before.
A completely different mental outlook. They were once numb and ignorant, living in confusion among a bunch of ancient life-support machines that were about to stop. They looked at the unchanging gray city every day and fought for a little bit of cyclically supplied food rations.
, and even established those small, ridiculous kingdoms among the blocks and alleys, fighting around like primitive people. However, now, the steel sky hanging over them has opened, and a vast world far beyond their imagination has appeared.
Outside the barrier, a new order was 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 those old and tattered clothes, and many of their survival supplies were even
Ancient products excavated from the ruins, but the emergence of the new world has brought some hope to these people, and the entire floating urban group presents a "alive" atmosphere.
Workers building houses and repairing streets can be seen everywhere. The knocking and roaring of machines can be heard everywhere. The ancient generators are running again, and the boilers that have been cooled for thousands of years are also being re-ignited.
In preparation, those workers and technicians who had just completed their studies and training were drilling between the mottled and corroded steel, trying to get this metal-made city to operate again. Although everything still showed an old and abandoned state, but now in
Among these old machines, we can already see the activity of "people".
Of course, the shadows left by the colonial spacecraft era still remain in every corner of the floating urban cluster. After all, the people in these spaceships have experienced the cessation of civilization for thousands of years, and it has only been a year since they regained civilization.
, it is difficult to fundamentally change this society, even with the support of religious power and strong spiritual beliefs. Although Hao Ren did not investigate in depth, he could still see that the system of the original dynasty still remained in this exiled civilization
The internal estrangement caused by the original split into several kingdoms has not yet been eliminated. Changing this may require the efforts of an entire generation.
But what they did was good enough.
Hao Ren and his party found Lawrence in the Ark of the Throne, which is now the "capital" of the floating city group. The old man is the spiritual leader of the Ark civilization and the de facto ruler of the floating city group.
After relying on the power of religious belief, he has completely consolidated his position in the ethnic group, and on this premise, he successfully implemented his civilization recovery plan.
Lawrence was very happy about the visit of Hao Ren and his entourage. He was wearing a simple white robe and stood on the high platform in front of the ancestral furnace, looking down at the city below. He said with emotion: "After a year, they finally understand
They had to learn 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 and the phenomenon of cloudy, sunny, rainy and snowy... It was a really difficult time."
"The most difficult days are finally over, aren't they?" Vivian said with a smile, "Your abilities amaze us. We actually didn't expect you to do such a good job... To make a society with such a serious civilization rupture
Just cheer up and start the reconstruction project, which is not something ordinary people can do."
"Material reconstruction is easy, but spiritual reconstruction is difficult." Lawrence shook his head. "It will take a long time to change their minds. I have only just taken the first step. We are currently
The most important task is to repair the buildings that were damaged during the deployment of the spacecraft, to provide survival guarantees for the "refugees" who lack the most basic living materials, and to repair some simple facilities in the city. This is far from the reconstruction of society.
But I have started a new plan. I have established a school in the center of the Throne City. The first batch of students will learn basic scientific knowledge and cultural knowledge there. Then they will go to general schools in various places to serve as teachers and transfer this knowledge.
Spread it out. After ensuring basic survival, 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 their worldview in three to five years, so that there will be sufficient resources for the next step of construction.
Talent.”
Hao Ren nodded: "Yeah. Just now I saw people moving in several other floating cities. Are you planning to expand some of the population there?"
"We are just doing some preliminary investigation work at the moment," Lawrence said. "Several other immigrant starships have been isolated from the Throne for hundreds to thousands of years. The conditions on them are completely unfamiliar to me.
, so we must investigate clearly in advance. On this landless planet, sooner or later we will have to expand our scope of activities to other immigrant starships. After all, floating city clusters are our only foothold on this planet."
Lily stood on the edge of the high platform and looked around curiously. Suddenly she saw something new in the square below. It was a large pool with two goddess statues standing in the center. For this ethnic group that was waiting for things to flourish,
Such a building is obviously a huge project, so the Husky girl suddenly shouted: "Ah! This is your newly built statue of the Twin Goddess of Ice and Fire? Wow... I look so handsome looking at you like this...
"
“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 cognitive levels, and you cannot
Tell them why they have to do this, so we 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 ocean, but that goddess... is a little naughty, she always
She lets her image change, and sometimes deliberately changes into some forms that we cannot understand to play with us, so in the end I chose to use the basic element of 'water' to represent her. Each statue is related to water.
With life, water is everywhere, which symbolizes Eva’s everywhere. I think maybe in the future we will become a nation that worships water..."
"But this primary stage will end sooner or later," Hao Ren reminded him, "human beings must learn to walk on their own."
"Of course," Lawrence smiled as he said that he would not live in these ruins forever. Besides... our lease on this planet is only for two hundred years."
Hao Ren shrugged: "It depends on the situation. If we can't find a suitable new home, it may be possible to renew your lease at that time."
At this time, Nangong Wuyue suddenly frowned. She seemed to hear some sounds and pretended to be listening. Then she poked Hao Ren's arm with the tip of her tail: "Landlord, Her Majesty Katrina just sent a message saying that Yi
The baby is looking for you, it seems like she wants to give you something."
