Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 88: A bit bad Ian (6900)

It's hard for Miles to imagine that he, who originally fled from the Avak Territory, actually won the attention of the local lords through his outstanding psychic abilities after arriving in the new territory.

And this lord is still the kind person who helped him in the past, and even invited himself to join the mysterious scientific research project, making himself an important member of Chonglingjiao, a new religious organization.

"I was so unlucky that I was able to change my luck after coming to Nanling. I not only made like-minded friends, but also found the meaning of life at work. It is an important position that is indispensable for employment.”

"As for the duties..."

"It is studied."

Ever since Miles manifested his psychic powers in the Black Marsh area in order to save his fellow workers, he has become a big hit in the local gathering area—the leaders of the local gathering area are all smiles, this selection is no matter what It's excellent, and other pioneers also have more bragging rights. After all, there is a psychic in our district. Are there any other districts?

As for Miles himself, being the research subject of Xiahui Ling is actually quite a comfortable thing.

He did not leave the pioneer gathering area, and he was still working normally with everyone to open up wasteland, but sometimes, people from the research institute would take him to Xiahui collar to conduct various data measurements, and Miles At that time, he would also buy some special goods from Xiahui Ling for his fellow workers, as well as tools that were difficult to buy in the gathering place. This behavior faintly made him the most famous person in the whole gathering place except for the person in charge.

The process of being studied is not painful, it is nothing more than being swept by a few lights, lying on a metal bed and being poked like a piece of pork, and accepting various hypnotic guidance to try to use

It's just psychic power—it sounds troublesome, and it's vaguely inhuman, but in fact, compared to the hard work of opening up wasteland and sleeping in the wilderness, Myers would rather be studied all his life.

At least the food is good!

Of course, as a person from Azure City, Miles is also very aware of how terrifying those truly 'inhuman' experiments are...

Thinking of this, Miles always inexplicably thinks of the Bai Zhimin director of Xiahui's laboratory.

It's not Lord Yinfeng, but a young researcher who calls himself 'Guying'. He looks very immature. Although he is older than himself, he feels younger than the Lord.

At first, Miles thought that the other party was the elder brother or elder of the Lord Silver Peak, because he was too focused on technology and didn't know much about the world, but in the end he found that the two sides were not the same kind of people at all.

Although Guying's skin is paler and looks like a dead soul, in fact, he is far more gentle and kind than the lord, and he is also quite kind to himself.

Simply put, he is a very nice person.

No, not just to myself... Miles even saw it in the research institute, and the old shadow would talk to himself about the radish in the hydroponic dish, cheering for its growth with joy , not at all like the head of a big laboratory, but like a little boy who is growing plants for the first time.

And Lord Silver Peak, who is also a high-level alchemist...

The feeling he gave Miles was completely different.

That handsome, friendly young man who usually faces the leaders with a smile always frowns slightly in private in the research room, always thinking about something.

The way he looks at himself is very intriguing, anticipation mixed with an almost icy calm scrutiny, and he never hides it.

It has not been a short time since I came to the Xiahui Territory. Miles can be sure that, as the lord, Ian undoubtedly loves his territory and everyone in the territory. He has spent a lot of time and effort in developing the territory. , not only to attract investment, he also proposed various new technologies, and paid a lot of money that other lords could use to enjoy themselves to invest in the construction of the territory.

For this reason, his life is also very simple. He spends almost all day in the research institute except for dealing with government affairs, and has almost no private life.

Compared to this point, even the Guying researcher can only follow in his footsteps - Guying will also stare at the radish seedlings in a daze, and occasionally face the water

Peira smirked, but the lord didn't have time to stop.

There is no doubt that this is love.

But this kind of love is not the same... It feels like a cold sun, shining on everyone, but it is difficult to give people a warm feeling.

According to his younger sister Cynthia, the lord gave him the feeling that they were lucky enough to meet Grand Duke Thorin once.

Even...

"More terrifying. More terrifying."

Afraid, terrible.

Myers chewed on the word.

In the continent of Terra, if a lord can be feared and frightening, it is actually a blessing, at least it will avoid many unnecessary troubles, and the territory can also maintain stability.

If the lord is just blindly amiable and loved, it will cause great trouble.

Like a person, if there is only a smile, one day you will not be able to smile. Make yourself and those around you laugh for a long time.

Besides, Ian's character is quite popular with people who like to understand that "you have to die if you die".

On the first day of participating in the 'experimented project', Miles knew that the reason why he was being studied was because, as a resident of the Grand Duchy, he had an 'artificial soul' in his body.

Own man-made soul also caused his psychic power to be ineffective from time to time.

And your own psionic ability is very important, it is instructive for some key psionic facilities in the territory, and it is of great reference value.

That's why we need to study. And the lord also told him clearly that no matter whether he agrees or not, he will use various methods to research.

Myers knew all this from the very beginning.

He accepted it.

There is no need for a determined leader to use some dishonorable means, isn't it? Being rude to himself is not polite to the other party, not to mention that the other party did show kindness to him, and he still remembers this Kindness.

Grand Duke Thorin and Viscount Avak are both using people to conduct experiments. Ian is no different from them in this regard. Even the technology he uses for experiments may be obtained from the Azure City Laboratory.

But at the very least, Ian will tell people in advance, and even try it on himself first.

Myers couldn't say no, and he was compensated.

"The experiment is over? Miles, come and learn swords with me!"

Leaving the research institute, the young swordsman heard a hearty voice. It was Qing Chao who came, and he was also the "teacher" appointed by the lord.

According to what Qing Chao said, his talent in swordsmanship is quite good. Although he is not as good as him, he is still considered a genius.

Not to mention, with psychic power, Miles' swordsmanship thickness and defensive ability will far surpass him.

Of course, the most important thing is that Qingchao admires him very much——people who are willing to stand up for their comrades, and even awaken psionic abilities, are undoubtedly trustworthy people, who would not appreciate it?

For such a second-level teacher, the tuition fee of more than 1,000 Thaler a year is indispensable in the outside world. As compensation, it is completely qualified.

However, he is said to be a teacher, but in fact he is barely half a classmate.

After learning the sword with Qingchao, Miles has to go to Xiahuiling's newly opened school to learn some basic knowledge.

——You call me a teacher! I call you a classmate! Let’s talk about each other!

Actually, in terms of mathematics, Myers is obviously more talented than Qing Chao. It is estimated that in a month or two, Qing Chao will teach Myers swordsmanship and Myers will teach Qing Chao mathematics.

Not talking about literacy and basic mathematics, the most interesting thing about Xiahui Ling is actually the 'miscellaneous lessons' in history and geography.

Knowing how big the world is and the history of the world you live in cannot improve people's actual abilities, but it can broaden their horizons.

Mai

When Errs knew that the South Ridge and the West Territory where he was located were just a corner of the entire Terra continent, the inexplicable shock in his heart, and the feeling that he was extremely small compared to the world, were the essence of his entire life. appeared for the first time in .

During that time, Miles even spent money to buy a map of the world. He just looked at the names and terrains on the map obsessively, imagining the customs and customs in the far corners of the world, and wondering if there would be people there Living, and what kind of monsters and ecology.

That was exactly his dream, the reason why he wanted to earn a living with a sword, and went to the world outside the Azure City—in Azure City, he just had a vague idea, but in Xiahui, this idea Gradually turned into reality, gradually became clear.

Imagine. Imagination and curiosity are the most important things in human beings.

"In the future, I will consider making a terra ball, make it into a toy, and sell half of it and give it to everyone in the territory. Or popularize a rough map of the world, and strive to let Xiahui lead every child and every family There will be one of them."

When the lord saw that Miles was interested in the world map, he rarely showed a smile from the heart. He explained to Miles his next plan in detail: "Imagination about the distance in front of the map is just curious The beginning. If you can have a longing for the land on the other side of the world, that is the foundation of your dream.”

"Children will imagine how to conquer distant and unknown places, and imagine the beautiful and beautiful scenery in the distance. You can call it ambition or desire, but what I want to cultivate is this kind of thing, whether it is good or bad, better than insensitivity, because ignorance breeds ignorance.”

"Myers, do you want to go to the Holy Mountain or the Nine Cold and Silent Mountain? It's all right, as long as you think about it, you can do it, the premise is 'really desire,'"

Really, of course it is.

Will he get there one day?

Although the cold sun is not warm, it clearly points out the way ahead.

The young swordsman stared at the map in his hand, his heart was filled with something called 'confidence' and 'expectation'.

A very beautiful thing.

......

"The new version of the artificial soul, through comparison, correction and optimization of the "Duke-collar artificial soul" such as Myers, and the "original brain attached to the Sequoia natives", in addition to the original functions, an additional part of the " Mind network, part of the 'meditation method foundation', part of the 'spiritual tool core adaptability', and part of the 'joint force of all souls,' the structure."

"In addition, the new version of the artificial soul has eliminated the function of the 'dead king', which originally centered on a powerful sublimator, and revised it to the 'temporary Hades' function centered on the 'spiritual tool core'.

The functions in this area are still being researched, as the current energy source in the territory cannot support it, it is only an experimental version at present, and the actual operation will be considered after the development of a new energy furnace core. "

This is the result of Ian and Adalbert working overtime for two weeks, almost day and night.

I have to say that with a living entity like Miles as an observation object, it is like putting an advanced engine in front of a group of mechanical engineers, and there is a former developer of this engine among them, There is also a full set of blueprints in hand.

In this way, it is difficult to think about the efficiency of replica learning.

The essence of the artificial soul is to directly carry a part of the spiritual matter through the "brain attachment structure", as a "soul seed", which is continuously nourished by the holder's thinking, and finally breeds a soul that belongs to the holder himself.

This is not a very difficult technique, what is difficult is how to make this soul stable and have various functions.

In the laboratory, the experimental subjects are not humans, but several captured monsters.

Warcraft below the second energy level have no obvious intelligence. Even at the second energy level, the intelligence is relatively primitive, and it takes a long time of training and learning to barely approach humans.

In other words, implant artificial souls into them, and the feedback can be observed very quickly.

The first warcraft implanted with an artificial soul, the Iron Arm Ape, already had the wisdom of a human child. After receiving the artificial soul for a week, its thinking was obviously much sharper.

When Ian and others came to observe it, they didn't shrink back from instinctive fear, but instead cooperated with each other to make various measurements.

One of the standards of wisdom is 'knowing the current affairs'. It's not just that you will run away when you see the strong, but you will try to blend in, learn, and become one of them when you see the strong.

This steel-armed ape obviously possessed intelligence. It even began to learn how humans usually walk upright, and tried to tidy up its nest in the laboratory to make it more tidy.

Don't get me wrong - wisdom doesn't make people like cleanliness.

Gibbon just found out, and the other researchers will be happier if they clean up their nest.

"In a week, the artificial soul is just a sign that it starts to assist the brain to think and connect the various thinking areas, which can bring such an obvious impact on Warcraft."

Ian watched the steel-armed ape's every move, and he said to Adbert beside him: "I have a guess that is not a guess, but let me ask a question first—why did the pre-epoch civilization design Warcraft?

"Ah? Hmm...I think it may be the result of some kind of biological tool becoming wild?"

Adelbert was stunned for a moment. After learning about Ian's adventure in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, he also knew part of the information about Warcraft and Tinder from the pre-epoch civilization, so he gave a relatively normal guess: " Crystallized dragons, for example, are obviously sheltered creatures created by pre-epoch civilizations to imitate real dragons in order to survive in extreme environments. But the strange thing is that none of the known real dragons have the same structure as crystallized dragons. "

"Well. I guess, this is because the crystallized dragon should imitate some kind of more ancient dragon, at least the second-generation true dragon, not the third-generation and subsequent true dragons that our Terra civilization is familiar with.

Ian nodded slightly, staring at the steel arm ape, and said softly: "But not all monsters are tools... Some monsters are obviously born with some kind of intelligent structure, but they need to Only the soul can play perfectly."

"Adelbert...I'm just saying a possibility."

"If we say that on a planet or a continent, the abundance of source matter and spirit matter on it can make all creatures on it have souls."

"So the intelligent creatures on this planet, after leaving this environment, can they still have wisdom?"

"The so-called 'smart creatures,...'

"Will it become a monster?"

Adelbert blinked, then panicked.

"Ian, you mean..." He swallowed, and said incredulously: "You mean, there are many monsters on our Terra, probably... .The 'alien intelligent life that comes with the fire,?!'

"Just a guess."

Closing his eyes, Ian didn't deny it, nor did he confirm it.

He just thought and speculated: "It is completely impossible to say that all the billions and billions of monsters on the Terra continent were all derived from Terra alone."

"Some low-level monsters may have been born in Terra, and they are also recorded in the literature of pre-epoch civilizations, while some monsters are powerful and perfect, but there are no such ancient legends, and they do not have some tool characteristics. Manufactured by pre-epoch civilization."

"It is also extremely difficult for the fire to catalyze this kind of creature that obviously has an ancient evolutionary history."

"After all, if it is not an important creature, why is it necessary to engrave it in the tinder and design it to be preferentially catalyzed?"

In this case, there is only one answer.

Many intelligent monsters with powerful potential are probably those aliens who lost their souls and lacked wisdom, so they degenerated into beasts.

It is also the 'alien' that Ian has been looking for in the past, after knowing the truth about Tinder and the alien.

Ian has always been very strange. If there is really a kind of fire like Karin's flower that tries to integrate into or even invade the world of Terra, then there must be someone who is more gentle and just wants to reproduce his own civilization on a different planet. kindling.

In that case,

With the tolerance of Terra civilization (mainly because it is too chaotic and the sublimation is too strong, no one can discriminate against anyone), how many alien tribes should exist?

It's like goblins and real dragons... Although goblins are real local life forms, the existence of the pools is very alien.

But the research results over the years have pointed out an unbelievable possibility for Ian.

—— Alien intelligent life forms, those aliens, have long been integrated with Terra's sublimation system.

However, in the capacity of 'material'.

Of course, from the perspective of genetic inheritance, sublimators who carry part of the genes of alien creatures may also be called half aliens in terms of blood... From this perspective , the blood of the alien star, it is impossible to sever it.

But from a civilized point of view...it's really a great tragedy.

"Warcraft cannot be given artificial souls."

Ian said this, with a calm tone: "There are enough intelligent races in this world, and there are intelligent beings in Warcraft, for example, the White Silence Governor in Icewind Valley. It also has its own nest, and is still cultivating 'butterfly people, this intelligent species... Chi must have noticed the source of the huge potential behind him."

"The existence of Chi itself is the last remnant of an alien world in another world."

"So, Robe wisely chose to integrate into humans. After all, this is not the hometown of the Chis, and the Chis will never be able to create a second hometown. This is the path that Terra Warcraft should take, to integrate into humans, and It’s not about creating a few more independent factions.”

Otherwise, the process of unifying Terra will take a lot of trouble.

"Yeah."

Even Yadbert would not express objections at this time, he just quietly stared at the intelligent steel arm ape in front of him, showing complicated eyes.

"If one day, we also have to flee and leave our homeland..."

He whispered to himself: "Then, will we in alien planets also become such beasts?"

"Don't think too much."

Ian shook his head and said, "It seems that there are no human-faced beasts on Terra now. Don't think too highly of intelligent life, and don't look too low. Some people have brains and are not as good as beasts."

"Compared to this, who is the first batch of artificial souls for?"

This is indeed a problem.

Artificial souls are obviously the sooner they are popularized, the better. Among other things, even souls have a lifespan, which at least allows people's souls to enter the core of spiritual equipment and preserve them for a longer period of time.

Before man-made souls, people were dead when they died. After man-made souls, people still have a chance after death.

It is a pity that there is such a technology, but it died before it became popular.

"Give it to the old man first?"

Adbert also thought the same way, Ian nodded: "Then give those old people who are dying, let them cultivate artificial souls before they die. In this way, we can also observe the new version Does the artificial soul have the stability of the Grand Duke's version."

"Moreover, in this way, there are many cases that can be publicized within Chongling Sect, which can greatly increase the cohesion of the sect."

"This is the best way... The specific candidates are up to you to decide. After all, this is a research that you preside over, and I will not interfere."

Adelbert took a deep look at Ian.

At this time, the young man's tone didn't have the slightest reverence for life and death, only the arrogance and overlook of manipulating it as a tool. Those aging leaders were like test subjects in his mouth. Hope, just to observe your purpose, whether your tools are easy to use.

But Ian really brought hope. This is true, a fact that cannot be changed by any 'attitude'.

There was an almost icy light in the eyes of the young lord, but deep in the eyes, there was a burning desire for the new future brought by artificial soul technology.

Such a desire, he once had on Grand Duke Thorin

I have seen it.

But Ian is different from Grand Duke Thorin.

"He is always looking at the future, and the Grand Duke is just to prove the past is correct."

After Ian left, sitting in front of the radish seedlings he had planted himself, the white-haired Dead King researcher lay in front of the petri dish, staring at the emerald green leaf seedlings in front of him.

Adelbert murmured: "The Grand Duke just wanted to prove that his teacher, Inaiga II's research direction is correct - they once had the hope of changing the entire civilization of Terra, but the people of the empire gave up on it. He is the God-given savior. He is not trying to make people live better, he just wants to make the imperial people regret it, make the emperor regret it, and make everyone regret like him for life.”

"And Ian, although he is the successor of the first knight, he doesn't care about these at all. He has his own goal, although I can't understand it, to go to the high sky and break the Prisoner Star Prison, but for For this goal, he will do everything and use everything.”

[Souls...]

The Lord of Death asked softly the soul in his body: [Do you think it is really good for me to help Ian in this way, to reproduce the artificial soul, and to create a different Hades from the Grand Duke...]

The souls did not answer. The souls couldn't understand Ian either.

They just believed in Adalbert. If Adalbert believed, so did they.

"Forget it." Adbert sighed, and he stood up: "Look at this petri dish and the agricultural building...I believe in Ian too."

"Although he is a bit bad, but in the world of Terra..."

"A bit bad, but already a relatively good person."

......

Recently, Roland, who has been exploring at the mouth of the gorge, finally finished his work. He even led a group of dwarf brothers to build a prototype park at the mouth of the gorge. With the help of the staff, the foundations inside the park have been laid a lot.

He returned to Xiahui Territory and was rewarded by Ian again - not only because he completed the task, but also because Roland set up a line for Ian with the dwarves of Falling Star Hill.

This is the true meaning of Ian's assessment for him: If a technician really wants to find, there are still many alternatives. If Roland can't even use his own relationship, it proves that he is destined to be a low-level researcher. up.

If you don't have the ability to organize your own team, you don't have any connections, and you can't even find a team of brothers and sisters, what are you going to do with this kind of researcher?

He only eats money!

And now, Roland has successfully proved his ability and wisdom.

He was about to go home and show off to his father, Moda, to prove his abilities.

But just after returning home, he learned a piece of news that terrified him.

——His father fell into critical illness a few days ago, and now he is unconscious and is receiving urgent treatment in the ward.
