Petitioners are a very special kind of soul. Although like ordinary souls, petitioners maintain their existence through energy, they still have some characteristics of their own.
For example, the reason why these petitioners eat and drink there now is very simple, because this kind of eating and drinking can make them feel the taste of food, which in turn makes them feel a sense of happiness.
For petitioners, their belief in their gods has been stabilized. But if they feel happy, they will naturally be able to gain some power of belief beyond the basic level.
"After all, a very important reason why those believers dedicated their faith was to get better treatment after death." The little doll whispered into Lawrence's ear.
"And I have actually been adhering to some idea of fairness. Since these believers have always believed in me, then naturally I have to fulfill my promise to them -"
According to Nora, the kingdoms owned by some old powerful gods are not much different from the real world. They have facilities that are not much different from those outside, as well as the normal alternation of the sun and the moon, and the cycle of the four seasons.
"I see you have these things here too!" Lawrence said, recalling the sky he had just seen.
"Those things are just pictures. If you go all the way forward, you will find this fact." Nora shrugged her shoulders and said. "Didn't you realize that the roof of my temple is just a little way up to the Kingdom of God?
Is the ceiling closed?"
"I really didn't notice it just now." Lawrence shook his head. He just thought that Nora's world looked very much like the picture on the windows screen saver, beautiful but lacking some vitality. But he didn't realize that those were fake.
"Well, your observations are indeed not detailed enough." Nora shrugged, then looked at the petitioners who had finished their lunch in the distance and said. "They have finished eating, we can go over and take a look now."
After discovering that the group of petitioners were eating just now, Nora took Lawrence and hid in a lounge not far from the entrance. According to the little doll, if they showed up now, those people would definitely not even have food.
Not eating well.
After all the petitioners were in their places, Lawrence and the puppet looked at the core microbial research hall below through the glass in the corridor.
"It feels like there are more jackals here." After carefully observing the hall for a few minutes, Lawrence suddenly turned to Nora and said to Nora next to him, "After looking for a long time, there don't seem to be many humans down here."
"You are right, the ratio of jackals to humans among petitioners is now 20:1." Nora sighed softly and said.
"Because the time for my faith to spread among humans is too short now, there are really very few humans who can accumulate enough faith to come to my kingdom of God."
"What's even worse is that due to the issue of education, it is difficult for this group of jackals to accept some emerging knowledge. Although they, as my followers, can directly obtain knowledge through initiation, in terms of knowledge, it does not only require initiation.
It can be done.”
"And if I want these ancient jackals to master modern thinking, I think it may take me 5 to 10 years to reverse their old ideas."
"Didn't you tell me that you can receive initiation? Could it be that this kind of initiation can only impart knowledge but cannot change the three views?" Lawrence asked a little strangely after listening to the little doll pouring out his bitterness.
"That's true, because petitioners are all in a soul state, and self-awareness is the core of maintaining this state. So if I forcefully instill three views, it may cause their souls to become unstable and integrate into the Kingdom of God in advance.
"
"It does sound bad. I think that's why you want to increase the education of jackals now." After the little puppet answered, Lawrence showed a clear expression, and then asked.
"But you just said that those jackals are not very suitable for this kind of work, so what's going on with the few jackals working here?"
"These jackals are clergymen, scribes or witch doctors among the jackals in the past. They have a certain cultural foundation, so after acquiring new knowledge, they only need to be sorted out to complete general research work.
"
Nora looked at the jackal closest to everyone on the other side of the glass and carefully took a few drops of liquid from the test tube with a dropper, put it on the glass slide, observed it under the microscope, and then said to Lawrence.
"At least in the initial stages of this kind of biological research, especially microbial research. All we can do is to induce changes in those microorganisms through environmental induction and divine intensification as much as possible."
"For these research-based petitioners, their task is to screen out the microorganisms that evolve in the direction we want from these changed microorganisms, and then conduct the next round of induced evolution and screening."
"Although this place looks very high-tech, the work being done now is very simple. That is to cultivate some microorganisms with various uses based on the things in us combined with the characteristics of the world."
Nora said, taking out a list from her body and looking at it for a few times, she raised her head and said to Lawrence.
"What I have ranked first in the list is mainly a series of mycins that can be used as antibiotics. At least according to the samples I have collected recently, there are also things similar to penicillin or erythromycin in this world."
"However, these things all have serious problems in their original state. Either they are too ineffective and have no effect other than cultivating disease resistance of certain bacteria. Or they have too strong side effects and the drug concentration is not high enough to cure the disease."
The effects and side effects can already kill people."
"Our next work is to focus on the prototypes of these antibiotics, in order to enhance the active ingredients as much as possible while weakening the ingredients that are ineffective or even have side effects."
This kind of repetitive and tedious work is already the limit for those petitioners, and it is completely impossible for them to come up with some new ideas or new directions.
Fortunately, Lawrence brought enough knowledge from another world to allow the petitioners here to study according to the guidance of these ideas for a long time, long enough to wait until the truly professionally educated group of believers passed away and came here.
Taking over the job.
In fact, judging from the current situation, these low-level petitioners are more suitable for the current situation. Because the core of these tasks is mainly to try and repeat certain experiments according to Lawrence's ideas, which does not require too much inspiration.
One move.
By the time the real scientific research forces take over, Lawrence's ideas may have been basically exhausted. Then the entire system can be updated and upgraded.
After observing through the glass for a while, Lawrence and the others left this corridor and headed to the next location. Compared with this small research room, the next location was a huge and dark hall.
The entire hall seemed to be about two stories high, with some iron shelves on both sides. These iron shelves were divided into many layers by layers of iron plates, and a large number of petri dishes and culture media were placed on each layer.
.
"This is the microbial culture center." Nora pointed to the huge room in front of her and said to Lawrence, "Considering that there are not many people, I put all the microbial culture work here."
"Aren't you worried about cross-contamination in this thing?" Lawrence's eyes widened after seeing those citizens who obviously belonged to different microbial cultures were placed in the same place.
"Ah, my brother, this is my kingdom of God." The little doll puffed out his chest and said proudly, "So as long as I don't want it to be polluted, then there will definitely not be any pollution."
