Cheng Lin closed his eyes and began to summarize the changes in the world in the past twenty years.
It can be seen from the briefing.
The first five years are the five years for setting the strategy.
Countries around the world have different attitudes when it comes to spiritual energy.
The Federation is the most radical and bold.
The emergence of spiritual energy not only gave birth to ordinary people awakening and becoming practitioners, but also gave birth to many kinds of plants, minerals and other substances that contain strange effects.
Taking spiritual plants as an example, for practitioners, these are just cultivation resources.
But for the public, this is not the case.
Just like many products in our daily lives are transformed from military products into civilian uses.
Cultivation resources have also experienced the process of transforming from strategic reserve materials similar to arms into mass consumer goods.
Moreover, this process is very fast.
First, it is the maturity of Lingzhi’s large-scale artificial cultivation technology.
This has actually paid off.
In the Xia Kingdom, spiritual plants were regarded as strategic materials, and their cultivation was always in official hands.
But in the Federation, it's completely different.
The inertia of capital has led to the existence of the spiritual plant buying and selling market from the very beginning.
Later, after breakthroughs in artificial breeding technology, large-scale breeding bases began to appear.
This is the basis.
Later, a biopharmaceutical company took the lead in extracting a certain ingredient from spiritual plants.
As a result, specific drugs for certain types of diseases were produced, detonating the market and creating tens of billions of dollars in value.
Then, more international biotech groups entered the market and began large-scale capital investment.
Once this happens, it becomes unstoppable.
In terms of drugs, the cycle from R&D, clinical testing to production and distribution is long.
However, some "useless" results in the drug research and development process have quickly entered public life from the drug track.
For example...cosmetics.
The juice extracted from the spiritual plant was processed and refined into a very magical cosmetic, which was quickly spread among the upper class society, almost overwhelming the old cosmetics system built by the chemical industry in one fell swoop.
Then, from top to bottom.
As the finished products of artificial cultivation decline, Lingzhi products quickly sink and flow into the mass market.
In addition to cosmetics, the catering industry, which uses spiritual plants as the main material, indirectly affects the textile, health care products and other industries to fully blossom.
And this is just an industrial change triggered by resources such as spiritual plants.
…
And this industrial impact naturally affects the economic systems of other countries.
So Xia State and other countries finally opened up the spiritual plant market.
Start to catch up.
…
"Once you let go, there is no room for maneuver."
Cheng Lin sighed in his heart.
In the context of the global economy, more and more "spiritual industries" are emerging, taking spiritual plants as a breakthrough.
And slowly, even the currently non-renewable spiritual ore has begun the process of commercialization.
As a special material, it is used in high-precision technological products.
On the other hand, industrial breakthroughs also benefit practitioners from various countries.
After all, as the circulation and total amount of cultivation resources expands, the strength of the practitioners will naturally begin to increase.
"But in the first five years, the power of practitioners was still suppressed."
Cheng Lin closed his eyes and thought.
Although countries around the world have liberalized the spiritual energy industry, they still have an ambiguous attitude towards the power of practitioners.
Even the Federation also suppresses practitioners.
This state lasted until the sixth year, when the research on learnable abilities finally made great progress.
Previously, although all countries have basically achieved a lot of research results on learnable abilities.
But it has been very difficult.
For example, the superpower sequence can never break through the mid-level limit.
For example, the aura conversion rate is always very low.
And this time.
The construction of the superpower field sequence is finally on the right track.
This breakthrough has caused a huge increase in the power of practitioners in various countries.
But this is still not the real turning point.
The real turning point came in the tenth year, which was the year when Cheng Lin's twelve apostle talents awakened.
A scientist who is a spiritual practitioner in a small country published a study.
He claims that after years of personal experiments, integrating ancient practices of various ethnic groups around the world, conducting improvements and research, he finally invented a trick that can greatly increase the success rate of ordinary people's awakening.
If ordinary people practice this method, they have a chance of successful awakening.
Because it was drawn from various ethnic groups around the world, the researchers made it public.
This immediately caused an uproar.
Questions, criticisms, and ridicules followed one after another.
However, many people eventually started practicing.
So, people discovered that this actually worked.
Although even with practice, the chance of awakening is still very small, after all, the chance of random awakening is much higher than before.
And then...
Of course, the group of practitioners throughout the world began to expand rapidly.
The power of practitioners began to grow due to the increase in the number of people.
In the next ten years.
The whole world has experienced many conflicts due to the emergence of a large number of practitioners.
However, in this wave, practitioners with amazing talents are constantly appearing.
Some people liken this wave to the "second resurgence of spiritual energy".
Geniuses rise to the sky one by one.
The power of practitioners finally gained a firm foothold and formed a harmonious and stable survival model with ordinary people, hot weapons and the military.
Society has indeed undergone some changes.
But there has not been a major regression in civilization as some people feared.
On the contrary, the combination of spiritual energy and technology gave birth to a new direction of "spiritual energy technology".
The development of society has embarked on a new path.
It took the cultivator forces twenty years to successfully integrate into human society and become an important part of the social model.
…
"interesting."
Cheng Lin smiled slightly and finished sorting out the development of the past twenty years in his mind.
Of course, these are just the basic context extracted from the briefing, plus some of his personal thoughts. The accuracy is not enough, but it is probably not bad.
“Does this count as predicting the world trend in advance?”
Cheng Lin couldn't help but think.
But he shook his head: "It doesn't count, there is something wrong with this world deduction."
Yes, there is a problem.
The problem is that this deduction misses him.
“The entire twenty years of social deduction is based on the premise that there is no me.
Of course, generally speaking,
In the course of human history, unless it is a particularly special person,
Ordinary little people cannot affect the overall social process.
A little butterfly that can stir up a tornado needs to be a genius among butterflies."
"But the problem is, if there is no me in this history, then there is no projection, which is the real impact."
Cheng Lin thought.
Yes.
The disappearance of Cheng Lin alone does not seem to have any impact on the entire human society.
But what if the projection disappears as well?
It will be different.
As long as Cheng Lin continues to practice, the projections will continue to appear, and the whole world can obtain resources from the projections.
You can hone your combat skills in projection.
In fact, many people who may change the future will die in the projection.
Or the trajectory of life may be changed due to changes in projection.
The absence of Cheng Lin alone is not important, but the absence of projection will obviously have a significant impact on society.
"So, the deductions over the past twenty years cannot be used as a reference for the real future, but... some events can indeed be used as a reference."
“For example, the application of spiritual plants in pharmaceutical and other fields,
For example, scientific research on learning superpowers,
Another example is the method of increasing the probability of awakening..."
Except that the third event is likely to be affected.
The remaining two events are almost inevitable.
Economic development and scientific research breakthroughs, it is basically impossible for projection to interfere with these two.
It can only speed up or slow down its appearance.
"Well, you can refer to it, but you can't fully believe it."
Cheng Lin summarized the memories of twenty years in the future in his mind.
At this time, the blurry scenery around him finally became clear.
Cheng Lin looked around quietly.
I wonder how the world will change after twenty years, and how will this small church change?
…
"clang……"
The bells of the chapel echoed in my ears.
The blurred scenery became clear.
Cheng Lin was still sitting in his original position, without even changing his posture.
Where it enters the eye.
It is still a Gothic-style building, and about ten people stood there to perform worship services.
It seems like nothing has changed.
But everything has changed again.
For example, the interior of the church has obviously been renovated, and some details have been changed.
For example, the flower bed outside the door has been turned into a fountain.
For example, the road outside the hospital seems to have been widened, and the green summer scenery on the mountains has changed its color.
The sunny day turned into rainy day.
Another example is the style of clothes worn by those who come to worship...
Well, it seems like nothing has changed.
"It's been twenty years, but my clothing style doesn't seem to have changed much."
Cheng Lin thought with some surprise.
"Could it be said that...fashion really reincarnates? Twenty years have passed, and it's back to twenty years ago?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help but think wildly.
But in fact, he was overthinking it.
Most of the people who come here are wearing formal clothes, and formal clothes tend to go out of fashion very slowly.
…
"clang……"
The bell ends.
The clergy finished the ending, and then the citizens who came dispersed.
Cheng Lin also stood up.
The book has quietly disappeared.
He walked towards the clergyman who was bowing his head to clean up, then met his gaze and said with a smile: "Can I ask a question?"
The other party was startled when he saw Cheng Lin's clothes and nodded: "Of course."
"Excuse me, what's the date today?"
Clergy: “…”
The other party looked at him with a slightly strange look.
"March 21st."
Suddenly, a clear female voice came from behind.
Cheng Lin glanced at the strange-looking cleric, turned back, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Standing behind him was a young and beautiful girl.
She looks to be in her twenties, with silky hair spread behind her head, a smooth forehead, a straight bridge of nose, and bright and clear eyes. She is wearing a light blue dress, with a high chest and a strong capital.
He has an outstanding temperament, perhaps because he has just finished the ceremony, so he looks calm and peaceful that is rare at this age.
"I think I've seen you before."
Cheng Lin blinked and said suddenly.
The priest next to him was a man. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Cheng Lin.
Xin said: Such an ancient way of picking up a conversation, people 20 years ago didn’t even bother to use it, right?
However, what surprised him was.
When the girl heard this, she smiled brightly: "I feel the same way."
The clergyman was immediately speechless, shook his head and left.
Cheng Lin looked at her youthful and plump body and made a reminiscing look: "I seem to have seen you when I was a child."
The girl was surprised and said: "Really? Did we go to the same school when we were students?"
Cheng Lin shook his head and said nothing with a smile.
He has already recalled it.
The girl in front of me is the same girl who came here with her mother to worship twenty years ago. She is missing a piece of her tooth.
certainly.
The eighteenth transformation of women spanned twenty years, and Cheng Lin was not sure about it at first.
But who told...this girl looks so much like her mother?
