From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 235 Promotion to the third level of life and the resulting progress

To capture advanced salamanders, it is obvious that just one 'war tree' is not enough, more must be cultivated.

At this stage, their production relies entirely on Coarse Tooth's somatic cells. Although there is almost no loss for him, it is still somewhat troublesome in terms of time.

At this time, their retained ‘reproductive capacity’ came into consideration.

The disadvantages of inbreeding that existed objectively in previous lives have not been reflected in the trolls. At least at this stage, there have been no cases of deformities born due to this.

Therefore, can this ancient war tree, which only originates from Coarse Teeth, and its corresponding modified versions that may appear in the future, complete the reproduction of the 'original body' through the mating of several homologous individuals?

In addition, although chimeras are not part of their genetic information, this part can be given to their offspring through self-division. However, the participation of witch doctors at this stage is still essential before the ability to symbiosis is evolved.

But this is not an exaggeratedly complicated task. After a few practical experiences, any witch doctor can complete this task.

However, there is only one such individual in existence for the time being, so we should put aside their own reproduction for now. The number of ancient war trees must be increased.

Therefore, at this stage, it can only continue to supply its own body cell nuclei from the coarse teeth.

While the witch doctors were busy with various researches, after several years of exploration, Nesta finally reached a point of qualitative change.

As mentioned before, he used his own will as a furnace and prepared to accelerate his control over the subconscious sea;

At this time, his will level had reached and even exceeded the expected critical point - level six in the warrior standard.

In this process, his will is becoming more condensed, and his character is moving in the direction of being calm and strong.

At the same time, the idea of ​​"controlling everything about yourself" gradually spreads from the main consciousness level to the whole body, becoming the common pursuit of every cell body.

After completing this conversion, after a process of converting the electrical signal into an 'operation command', it can become the key to run the magic creation.

The plant-based abilities possessed by the magic plants themselves, which could only be controlled by witch doctors before, can also be controlled by warriors after being converted into totems.

After that, Nesta taught them in detail all the steps to make high-yielding grain seeds and led them step by step on the machine.

In addition, whether he is transformed or not, his bones have become denser, his muscle tissue has become more solid, and even his blood has become thicker, and with his heart beating more powerfully, it seems like

Like lava gushing out, it shoots out from the aorta into all parts of the body, bringing a richer supply of nutrients and energy to the whole body.

All in all, as long as the processes and connections in each step are well designed, and corresponding operation totems are given to them, better products can be obtained with less labor.

Among them, the former was imprisoned by the Republic, and the latter was also the next hunting target.

After having such a general understanding, Nesta actually wanted to have a clearer digital understanding of himself, just like what often appeared in previous games.

Fifth, it gives non-spellcasters the ability to completely replace the status of spellcasters on the production side, reducing society's dependence on spellcasters again.

Therefore, although the two seas of consciousness are still separated from each other, they have an additional point of convergence and begin to form another level of 'unification'.

Thirdly, the rune induction of the original magic-like spells also became more sensitive, and once again a more basic disturbance was discovered in the rune structure that Zeng Jin had already "finalized".

The impact of this cannot be underestimated. It can even be said to be one of the achievements of this advancement second only to the 'Almighty Cell'. It makes the existing 'Rune Basic Components' no longer a foundation.

There is a more 'basic' structure.

Weight: 1130 kg (predicted to continue to gain weight)

Life level: Level 3 (ordinary trolls and ordinary witch doctors both have Level 1 lives)

Life form: flesh and blood life (with a very weak tendency to become energy)

This kind of thought is not spirit or thinking, but is generated under the influence of will and is a broad consensus of the body at the cellular level.

Of course, except for weird life forms like the Ancient War Tree.

Moreover, since such runes are ultra-microstructures, the totem positions they occupy after totemization are also quite low, and they can be inscribed without affecting other totems, so there will be no additional burden on the warrior.

In this way, the need for witch doctors to participate in the production process can be further reduced.

As for the possibility of realizing these two aspects, there is indeed great hope after Nesta's advancement. After this refinement of the rune structure, there are already laws like the Neo-Confucian formula, resulting in

Substitute the symbols to get the changing tendency of the results;

Height: 3.12 meters (3.45 meters before advancement, predicted to grow back)

First of all, the appearance. Nesta's overall appearance has finally completed the transformation into an elf, and is no longer the straight-backed troll form before.

Now, with Nesta's more in-depth analysis of the related totem groups, this shackles have finally been broken to a certain extent, and some non-morphological change totems can be successfully transformed between plants and animals.

After experiencing deeper changes through meditation, Nesta realized that he seemed to be ushering in a period of physical growth soon. He should continue to grow in height and body dimensions for a period of time, and to replenish the cell loss during the previous advancement.

.

Insert original grain seeds, start the machine, and run each totem separately according to the steps.

The results were revealed soon after. Although the production efficiency of the trolls was low due to unskilledness and other reasons, the soldiers did complete the production of grain seeds through this 'seed production tree house'.

This phenomenon made him wonder, was this change in himself a convergent evolution towards 'advanced', or had Zeng Jin's observation of cave wolf cells affected his own growth direction?

This question may only have a clear answer when an advanced salamander is captured.

At this point, Nesta finally understood that he had finally surpassed the wolf kings in the west in terms of absolute strength, and had truly become the strongest person in the Black Forest other than the 'Higher Warcraft'.

Finally, the wolf transformation has also changed with this advancement;

First, the partition modules of the salamander's brain were identified, and the 'superior' brain areas in which organs such as the respiratory system, cardiopulmonary system, etc. were functioning were discovered;

Gender: Male

Nesta is just a 'common' and cannot sacrifice so much for the 'mage dream'

The current situation seems to be more suitable for me. While retaining the ability to regenerate, this type of cells has also successfully joined the main consciousness and become part of the thinking organ.

Moreover, as 'electricity' becomes more and more clear, if electromagnetic wave technology can be cracked, faster communication and monitoring methods can also be established in every area of ​​the Black Forest in this form without the involvement of witch doctors.

.

After these things were successful, Nesta took the lead in verifying them, and since he was not a militant, the first use he developed was not combat.

Nesta first totemized all the magic processes needed to transform high-yielding grains into a 'tree house', and engraved 'telecommunication signal - command totem' on the 'command end'.

;

Later, he called several warriors who had received complete education and personally carved the 'body-electricity transformation totem' for them;

Of course, the various parameters are adjusted. The physical strength, electricity, and command will be formed and transformed strictly in accordance with the fixed pattern, and the fixed operating path on the receiving end will be activated to form the 'result'.

From the time when the axolotl generates its 'attack consciousness' to the time when the spell-like ability is generated, bioelectricity-related 'runic structures' have been discovered at two points;

Among them, the first type is when the conscious command is issued, the thinking electrical signal starts the operation of the magic and produces all subsequent behavioral effects;

The second category is when metal components are extracted from magma;

These cells retain their own totipotency, but the internal energy conversion structure and genetic structure merge with other organelles to form a new type of cell nucleus;

After that, they differentiated into fine fold structures within the nucleus, and formed strange synapse structures outside the cells. Strange signals invisible to the naked eye started from these new cells and began to travel to various areas where they were located.

In this process, all cells of this type have become part of Nesta's "self", which not only expands the concept of "main consciousness", but also speeds up the speed of "transmitting orders" from the mind to various parts of the body.

These lurkers include many short-lived cells that are "live and die" and constitute too simple low-potential cells. Although the functions they perform in the body at this time are irreplaceable, strictly speaking, they do not seem to be integrated.

valuable.

In terms of farming and agricultural product processing, the former, that is, the field work, may not enjoy direct benefits in the short term, but the latter can become more convenient through the application of totem plants.

After these losers split into the original version of themselves that have not changed, they will become nutrients and be absorbed by other cells, and their residues will be excreted through the pores, forming a gradually thickening layer on the surface of Nesta's body.

Dark smears.

And this should be one of the important conditions for ‘disciplinaryizing’ them.

In addition, 'Can brain cells be replaced with this new type of cells, thereby reducing a fatal weakness?'

Number of main consciousness integration cells: more than 10 billion, less than 100 billion, the specific number cannot be estimated, of which there are about 300,000 new all-powerful cells (all generated during advancement)

Degree of mental integration: cannot be measured accurately, estimated to be less than 0.01%

Mental power level: 5+ (Mental power cannot be measured independently and can only be passively estimated based on the level of spells. However, the grading of spells other than emotional ones is not clear enough, and the highest existing emotional level is only level 5.)

When these two aspects are relatively rigorously formulated, even if the designer or converter does not have the ability to cast spells, they can still work independently on the relevant content.

However, there are really too few magical creations. When Chad thinks about it, only the 'Tree House' is worth mentioning. Therefore, after having the ability to 'activate', the pursuit of 'diversification of types' has also become a

Of course.

The total number of cells contained in his body is an astronomical number in the trillions, but at this stage, the number of cells that participate in the process of thinking and contribute to the formation of mental power is only in the tens of billions;

The vast majority of the remaining cells are still lurking in the depths beneath the sea surface.

Then, the operating principles of Warcraft spells are vastly different from those of plant spells;

But fortunately, not only did they not have any malignant effects, they even brought many benign changes to themselves.

The formation of 'enchantment technology' technology has also seen the light of day from Nesta's progress, even the noon sun.

Nowadays, the biggest problem in terms of "enchantment" is actually the boundary between "living body" and "dead body", "warcraft" and "demonized plants";

Intuitively speaking, when these are integrated together, not only will the popularity of "treehouses" be unimpeded, but also because of the compatibility with the fancy abilities of the Warcraft system, it will be further improved in terms of functionality, thus having broader development prospects.

.

These are obviously a kind of 'totipotent cells'. They neutralize energy conversion, thought generation, genetic factor preservation, strength, regeneration and other abilities and attributes, and in the process, they may have sacrificed some of their characteristics because of the pursuit of omnipotence.

The extreme advantages that chemistry can bring;

But according to Nesta, this is indeed the best choice for him.

If his whole body became a 'brain', he might be smart enough, and his spell-casting ability would also undergo a qualitative change due to the improvement of mental power;

But at the same time, the tribe's most powerful regeneration ability, muscle strength, etc. will definitely be severely compromised, and even body movements must rely on magic;

After that, a change from the inside out begins.

After this change occurred, it was obvious that due to some reasons, it turned a corner and shifted its 'main battlefield' from the will side to the spiritual side, and allowed the subconscious and main consciousness to complete a certain interaction.

At this time, Nesta finally woke up from the deep meditation state, and began to understand her changes further after descaling.

In addition, as Nesta refines many runes, the progress of micro-totemization continues;

At this moment, unstoppable cheers came from behind all the participants, including Nesta.

Among the spectators present, whether they were witch doctors, government officials, or ordinary soldiers, they all felt truly inspired at this time.

After having these related rune structures, the solution to the problem suddenly becomes very simple, and even only the thinking problem remains;

This allows the upper part of the 'gourd-shaped' part of the previous cultivation chamber to be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the size, weight, and difficulty and efficiency of cultivation.

But I didn't expect that now that I have reached the third level, I still have to continue to work hard on integrating consciousness.

However, the 'omnipotent cells' that the body evolved independently during the advancement process are also an achievement that allows him to enjoy the hardships.

Some cells connected into groups and began to try to move closer to the brain tissue, while other cells chose other paths;

But one of them seems to have been influenced by Nesta's previous concepts when observing the cells of the cave wolf, and began an evolution that has no precedent in the body.

At the same time, the body accelerated its metabolism and began to select feasible solutions among so many 'attempts' based on a certain need that existed in Nesta's subconscious.

On the other hand, it also makes the 'combinations' between runes more diverse, and as a result, more new spells can be born, continuing to expand what spellcasters can do.

The emergence of this 'seed production tree house' not only freed the witch doctors from the task of 'grain seeds' that had occupied a lot of their energy before, it also gave the Republic's seed production capacity a chance to take off completely;

It has also laid an initial foundation for more "treehouse" applications in the future. What can be thought of now include professional monitoring treehouses and manufacturing treehouses that produce high-precision parts;

Even shipbuilding, railcar building, etc. can become more standardized, faster, and more automated due to the emergence of this technology;

Secondly, the 'laboratory metal preparation' ability mastered by witch doctors can also be integrated into a tree house form through this method, and can be operated by ordinary trolls without the ability to cast spells.

After mutating many rune groups in these two types of structures and making them into totems, the warrior's physical energy can be transformed into bioelectrical signals;

The latter makes living magical plants like the 'Tree House' unable to run the inscriptions of Warcraft totems, causing a huge lack of functionality.

In addition, the achievements in bioelectricity and neuroelectrical signals have also accelerated the progress of witch doctors' research on "brain science". They have better research methods on the partitioning patterns of various brain structures and the operating patterns of related organs.

.

Mental power weighting: meditation efficiency +200%, strength +30%, casting speed +70%, regeneration speed +5%

Will level: 6+ (lack of higher-level classification methods)

Will weighting: meditation +120% (meditation efficiency bonus in subconscious integration), strength +90% (the body can mobilize more power when exerting force), casting speed +5%, regeneration speed +15%

Because many items were not thought of, or cannot be measured accurately with existing methods, this table seems quite simple, but Nesta still feels that this thing is of great popularization value. At least the intuitive data seems to be able to help individuals

More motivation to practice.

This idea also broke into his thinking at this time and never went away for a long time.

But because the new cells are not as professional as brain cells in terms of ‘thinking contribution’, Nesta worries whether she will become a fool with muscles in her brain;

In addition, the brain is very important to the body, but it is also extremely mysterious, and it also has deficiencies in its regenerative ability.

The breakthrough in this area further accelerated the mastery of the 'electricity production' in the digestive system of the volcanic salamander, and promoted the progress of Nesta's original research direction before the retreat.

At the moment when this 'unification' was achieved, Nesta clearly felt the prototype of the non-caster version of 'self-unification', and due to the linkage of consciousness to it, he fell into deep meditation;

Previously, the main consciousness may have only originated from a corner of the brain, but now other parts of the body have begun to spontaneously seek to join it, hoping to become part of Nesta's "self".

This means that most of the existing totems can be engraved on living plants and run successfully

If supplemented by the previously breakthrough 'Electric Signal-Physical Energy Interchange' totem, warriors can activate these magic creations through magic plants.

In addition to the physical body, changes also occur in the meditation space

First, the troll visualization body was affected by the longing for it and became an elf visualization body;

Secondly, the 'Magic Lake', which is manifested by physical and mental power, has also greatly expanded, reflecting the growth of its own spell-casting ability.

Although they are not many in number, they are like ultra-small starting points for thinking at this moment, becoming the fulcrum of one's own consciousness in various 'places' of the body;

Isn't this just another form of 'enchantment'?

When more and more "basic runes" are clarified, even the design work of the totem function itself can be transformed into a specialized discipline, so that more trolls can master this design ability through education.

After this observation and supplemented by practical operations, Nesta once again confirmed that some metals are indeed obtained through 'electrolysis', and the source of this 'electricity' is actually some kind of conversion of physical energy.

The integration of two levels of consciousness is not a simple matter. As his life level increases, Nesta has a clearer understanding of this.

When he first became a witch doctor, he even thought that he had completed the integration of all consciousness in his body;

In appearance, it is closer to the Lord Wolf, but in terms of size, it is much larger, and there is not much difference between it and the Twelve Wolf Kings.

As long as the first batch of corresponding seeds is prepared and the totems required in the seed production process are added to them, the remaining trolls can complete subsequent production just like they did before producing grain seeds.

This has greatly enhanced Nesta's ability to analyze runes and reconstruct them. Many 'processes' that were previously uncontrollable can now be controlled;

On the one hand, these changes will make the underlying operating model of the technique clearer;

This elimination is obviously influenced by Nesta's desire to "preserve the ability to regenerate" in his consciousness.

The internal competition was quite cruel, and in the end only one ideal template was retained and became a successful sample for the evolution of other cells.

The discovery of these two types of fine structures is undoubtedly a revolutionary achievement, solving the problems of popularization of 'technical products' that had been bothering him before.

First of all, one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of magic is "life", or "energy" based on life. Therefore, weapons without "physical energy" inherently lack the conditions to become the basis for totem inscriptions.

Fourth, there will be a surplus of labor, and the mother tree can accumulate the number of elves more quickly through "premature birth", reducing the production speed of one batch every ten years to one batch every six years.

Total number of cells: more than 100 billion, less than 100 billion, cannot be counted specifically

Gradually, many attempts failed in the competition of evolutionary forms due to unqualification in some aspects;

Among the losers are those cells that clustered with each other and began to evolve into the 'brain', and they were eliminated almost at the earliest stage due to the lack of self-renewal ability caused by high differentiation.

Therefore, Nesta believes that the integration of the subconscious mind must be prioritized. First, we must focus on those cells with high potential, relatively complex structures, and long standby times, and first incorporate them into self-thinking.

, and then consider the rest later.

Name: Nesta

Race: Completely elven troll

age:--

Within the known range, the only ones who can absolutely crush him in terms of individual strength are the Cave Wolf and the two high-level salamanders.

If we can go one step further on this basis and turn the transformation process of runes and totems into a clear ‘formula’ and ‘theorem’ like physics and mathematics;

Then, in fact, even the step of "totemization of magic" can be made into a discipline and cultivate talents through education.

In addition, he found that his reaction speed had become much faster, and he began to observe the new types of cells that had appeared before.

Under the dual effects of meditation and microscopy, Nesta easily discovered that the evolutionary direction they showed seemed to be very close to the cave wolf cells in terms of form, but in terms of precision and degree of nuclear body energy

But still far from it;

The former, whether it is a spell or a totem, can work on it, and it only works on flesh and blood life;

The same is true for the latter. Even if witch doctors can use it, in most cases it only works on plants and cannot affect itself. It cannot be controlled by warriors after becoming a totem.

This 'first' and 'then' have both become obstacles to the development of 'enchantment' technology. The former makes it impossible for totems to be solidified on non-living bodies;

During this period, some cells are undergoing active and passive transformation according to the 'direction' and under the supervision of the 'pursuit' of shaping, and the transformation mode of each part is different.

Generally speaking, in terms of body shape, the height has shrunk by nearly 30 centimeters, remaining at around 3.1 meters;

The dimensions of the body have shrunk inward a few times, and the muscles that have become less bloated due to the previous advancement have become a bit more muscular;

However, the weight does not seem to have decreased much, and is still roughly around one ton two.

However, this is not something that needs to be considered now. Let’s enrich the observation projects first.

~~~~~~

As for the goal of the next practice, Nesta also has a general idea in the process of understanding herself.

First of all, the integration of the subconscious and the main consciousness will undoubtedly continue;

Therefore, Nesta suppressed his impulse and decided to start with animal experiments and slowly explore it before trying it on his own.

For example, using the old to bring the new, using the point to bring the face, etc.

These methods can be used with the assistance of meditation to perform the integration process at a faster speed. In the process of cells becoming omnipotent cells, one's own main consciousness sea will naturally be expanded, and the subconscious sea will be here.

It began to shrink as it waxed and waned.

And then, I felt that the integration would be almost complete by the second level, and the next step should be a completely new field;

However, how to become 'self' is just a general direction that has no concrete implementation method in the body. In order to achieve this goal, the body enters a high-speed plan selection process.

Therefore, he did not find an opponent to fight like a hot-blooded protagonist, but chose to use both science and magic to do a comprehensive examination of himself and digitize the results.

In addition, the wool spinning industry and the cloth spinning industry will also usher in a great liberation. The acquisition of animal hair, weaving materials, and garment products, most of the processes during this period, will only require a little physical effort to be completed automatically.

things.

To put it more seriously, he is very likely to turn into the form of a "brainworm" in a movie from his previous life, giving up most of his body's functions in exchange for a level of spellcasting.

The addition of these extra cells may not be as exaggerated as the 'brain worm', but it has indeed enhanced his mental attributes, while also enhancing his agility and retaining his strength and regeneration ability. This is already very satisfactory to Nesta.

All in all, although Nesta's 'retreat' this time was strictly speaking an act motivated by some kind of selfishness, it actually caused several 'publicly beneficial' effects.

First, it allows witch doctors to get rid of "meaningless repetition" and have more time to do interesting research;

Second, the Republic has achieved immediate progress in manufacturing, military and other aspects, and has greater developable potential;

Third, the vast number of soldiers will be further freed from production tasks, and learning and practice will gradually replace production activities and become the main body of life.

At this time, he left this specially opened semi-enclosed space with dual attributes of a meditation room and a research room. After only spending two days with Azshara, he dived into the spell-like template library.

;

Then, he took each magic crystal and began to explore its more subtle disturbance structure.

~~~~

The focus of exploration was placed on the "Black Prism" spell of the volcanic salamander, and the "more basic" part was successfully perceived again from the previous "basic";

Moreover, the production of the totem plant itself does not actually require the witch doctors to be too involved;

There is no need to rush this matter either, and the third-level training is obviously not something that can be done overnight;

Therefore, after Nesta finished and thought about the above, he did not immediately start research on the "brain" or start practicing again.

This kind of 'pursuit' transcends the barriers between the main consciousness and the subconscious mind, and becomes a new internal connection within the body, and is the embodiment of will in this aspect.

Moreover, this type of cell retains far more redundant structures outside of the nuclear body than the burrow wolf, and does not look as clean and tidy.

This kind of cell brought him a clear direction, so that the subsequent 'integration' could no longer be carried out inefficiently through meditation;

With the ready-made templates available for reference, the old methods used in the ‘energy level advancement’ can be used again;

Among them, there are several types of structures related to "bioelectricity".

In terms of scale, they are still quite far away from the title of ‘brain’;

And from a functional and structural perspective, its evolutionary template is not in the direction of ‘brain’.

Second, for the most critical organ in terms of 'generating electricity', the corresponding special cells were discovered and targeted concentrated culture began;

In this way, even the bloated lower body of the big gourd can be slimmed down.

Third, after achieving a relatively more precise totemization of electrical signals, the neural connection between the upper and lower gourds, that is, the brain and the body, can also be greatly reduced;

This point greatly reduces the difficulty of cultivating flesh gourds.
