From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 260 Mother Tree No. 23 Citizens and Equality

If this multi-pronged plan can be maintained for several years or more than ten years, maybe the headquarters will be able to harvest the brain of an advanced salamander that is completely unprotected by the skull?

Of course, these tasks cannot always be performed by the witch doctors themselves, so they prepare to open up a separate chamber in the mother tree to integrate these functions, and repeat these projects on the target day and night.

At that time, the witch doctors can carefully study the magic crystal, brain structure, and even the structure of the nervous system.

~~~~

In terms of land-based mobile troops, thanks to the high speed of rail cars, the time it takes to return to the headquarters is far less than the time it takes to evacuate the volcanoes. The large army finally completed this journey in only three or four days.

.

When the rail convoy carrying the three Cage Trees arrived at the headquarters, the first priority was naturally the return of the Burrow Wolf and the planting of two new mother trees.

On the Burrow Wolf side, the third-stage tree elf embryos are currently developing. During the period of time when they are out of position, the embryos have been fed with the high-energy cell fluid in stock;

But it is not easy to extract this thing after all. When using a little less, it is better to get everything back on track quickly.

So, with the help of the witch doctors, the mother tree opened its belly and 'ate' the core area of ​​Cage Tree No. 1 that wrapped the majestic figure of Cave Wolf No. 1 in one bite, seamlessly taking over the body of Cave Wolf.

and the many functional areas distributed throughout its body.

As a result, the Burrow Wolf once again returned to its multiple positions as nanny and high-end energy supply core. On one hand, it tirelessly provided necessary support for the growth of thousands of tree elf embryos, and on the other hand, it also selflessly provided the headquarters with "high-energy liquid" inventory.

Make a contribution bit by bit;

From this point of view, the Burrow Wolf definitely lives up to the lofty praise of being the 'first hero of the Republic'.

After that, two new mother trees with two advanced salamanders as the core were also launched after the return of the cave wolf was completed. They surrounded the new city and formed a triangular core area structure with the No. 1 mother tree.

The three cage trees that carried them along the way lost most of their body structures in the process;

However, with the support of previous experience, the time consumption at each stage will inevitably be reduced to a considerable extent;

But overall, it still takes a long time to complete the entire process.

From a utilitarian perspective, Nesta’s excessive demands actually delayed progress;

But at the same time, isn’t this delay just to go further?

Therefore, it is not easy to judge the likes and dislikes in this. There may be different evaluations from different perspectives. I will leave it to the future to make a final conclusion.

Therefore, the first change made by the witch doctors is to remove the existing mental seal and stop its imposition on subsequent individuals.

Even with the help of the witch doctors, it would take at least many years to complete the neural symbiosis with the chimera and return to their respective pre-war physical levels.

When they rounded up the Burrow Wolf before, they had actually vaguely felt an attack of similar intensity;

At this time, will B be satisfied? Should he feel satisfied?

Of course, maybe B as an individual likes this kind of life and is happy with it, but when the number of A and B is not one, this kind of happy life may be just a rare case.

Through this action, the witch doctors clearly realized that they, and even the Republic as a whole, had actually underestimated the threat of higher organisms.

For the headquarters, it would be too luxurious to completely abandon these forts, but they have lost the reason to continue to be placed there.

Therefore, a compromise approach became the need at this stage, and after discussions between the parliament, the military, and the ruling government, the decision to "build another defensive fort" was finally made;

The witch doctors believe that rather than resorting to control methods that are likely to turn into enemies, it is better to give them complete autonomy in thinking;

And turn to treat compatriots in the same way to absorb them, gain their sense of belonging to the ethnic group as a whole, and build a healthier and more likely future relationship model.

This model is roughly equivalent to the cultivation process in Mother Tree No. 1, from animal experiments to Freya, and then the birth of the first and second batch of tree elves.

It is precisely based on this understanding that the Rune Council decided to give all ancient trees the same citizenship rights as trolls and elves, allowing them to have the right to choose jobs, the right to participate in society, and no longer bear the responsibility of becoming weapons.

And if you want to achieve this, 'equal treatment' is the most basic and most inaccessible part.

Therefore, most of the components of the two new mother trees had already been stored accordingly when the department decided to cultivate tree elves based on higher organisms;

However, because the target status was used in advance to carry out targeted arrangements, it did not cause many casualties, and the impact it produced was naturally far less intuitive than that of the advanced salamander.

in a foreign place

A is very kind to B. He eats, drinks, and poops every day, and occasionally sleeps with her in his arms. It can be said that he is treated very kindly.

But if B is a creature with the same level of intelligence as A, and A’s kindness is due to his love for tools and pets;

After the committee was established, it first issued a "Proposal Collection Order" in its own name, expressing that it welcomed all witch doctors, scholars, school students, soldiers, and the general public to brainstorm ideas and put forward ideas without delaying the essential work.

This equality includes equality of personality, opportunities and many other elements, and it is a closed loop that requires top-down guidance and bottom-up feedback.

This transformation did not take other things into account, but focused on areas related to the cultivation of tree elves.

Because the witch doctors have already had the experience of cultivating mother trees and understand how time-consuming and labor-intensive it is to start from scratch;

Third, everyone has exactly the same language and culture, and many aspects such as aesthetics are also rapidly converging;

Fourth, unlike the increasingly high average level of knowledge, the people of the Republic still retain an almost tribal simplicity in their overall mentality due to factors such as "slow generational change".

As for the two new mother trees, due to sufficient preparation in the cage tree stage, their landing process did not take too long.

Without the witch doctor to speed it up, this process would probably last about ten years;

Therefore, although the rest of their parts, except for their heads and small half of the thorax, have all been transformed into vine root systems containing nerve plexuses, they still maintain a three-point similarity with the elves on the whole.

For example, germ cell storage area;

For example, the activation area of ​​germ cells;

Another example is various nutritional pipelines, the cultivation of synthetic placenta, etc.

These components, which are closely related to the embryonic area and most critical to the plan, all have sufficient reserves.

Of course, the previously mentioned 'defensive fort plan' has also been included in the preparation scope of the committee, and will be built together with other defensive means to form an integrated offensive and defensive whole and serve as the final barrier of the headquarters.

At the same time, ‘equality’ guidance in education, culture, etc. is also essential;

In addition, the witch doctors previously arranged many functional plants when assisting the Cage Tree to fuse together. The mission of some of them is to become the base for grafting various functions of the embryonic area during subsequent transformations.

The idea is grand and ambitious, so the construction process will inevitably require a sufficient investment of resources and, most importantly, patience.

~~~~~~

In addition to these matters, the role and contribution of the ancient war tree group in this mission also gave the council some additional thoughts.

To be honest, the 'original bodies' of these ancient war trees were cultivated based on coarse teeth and the body cells of plant-based witch doctors who subsequently advanced.

From this perspective, this may be a cultivation method that is beneficial in the short term, but may become a hidden danger in the long term.

Therefore, the Rune Council deemed it necessary to address both sides.

No, it is to provide benign guidance to the three parties of elves, trolls, and ancient trees, to reduce the possibility of this instability from the beginning, and to create a community concept among the three that is transcending appearance and ability.

.

In addition, although the Ancient War Tree seems to think slowly and act slowly, in fact, its intelligence is not low, and they generally have above-average learning abilities.

In fact, if the parliament can relax the conditions.

For example, animal experiments are skipped in the early stage and experiments are directly allowed with limited elf embryos. In this way, the most appropriate conclusion can be obtained by observing the development process of limited elf embryos, and a decision can be made on whether to cultivate it on a large scale.

But things are different here at the headquarters.

Out of extreme confidence in the strength of the ethnic group, the new city adopted a fully open model during construction, without any defensive measures such as city walls;

This was easy to say before, but after seeing the attack intensity of advanced biological terror again, the Council decided to build a high-strength defensive facility with sufficient space for outward expansion;

The plan was proposed as soon as possible after the return and was unanimously approved. The parliament also appointed members for this purpose, including members of the Rune Parliament, important officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure of the ruling government, and heads of relevant military ministries.

The 'Defense Affairs Preparatory Committee' provides overall coordination.

Especially the face, except for retaining the obvious wood fiber texture skin and muscles, their facial features, face shape, etc. are basically exactly the same as the elves.

These three experiences have, on the one hand, allowed the witch doctors to plan more carefully for future actions to capture higher creatures;

In this regard, the Republic actually has certain feasibility

First, there is a transformation relationship between trolls and elves;

~~~~~~

On the other side, the sea gunboat, towed by the tugboat, also began its voyage back to its home port;

These ships, which lack self-propelled equipment and have simple and crude internal structures, will be dismantled one by one in the shipyard. The parts of each component will either be completely used for other purposes, or they will be used in subsequent test ship plans.

Shine and heat again.

Different from ordinary plants and even other magical plants, the ancient war tree, even as a chimera, also contains nerve plexus tissue that is unique to animals, and due to certain adaptive needs of plant and animal tissues in their growth, their

The recovery process can appear relatively lengthy;

But are there loopholes in this ‘thinking stamp’, and is there the possibility of being broken through by individuals?

And the ancient tree individual who has achieved a breakthrough and completely controlled himself, will he develop hatred towards the headquarters and the elves and trolls?

On the one hand, this is to eliminate the possibility of backlash from ancient trees in the future;

On the other hand, also taking into account the lag in the process of population sublimation, it is necessary for this department to proactively control the trolls and elves to avoid the possibility of a split in positions in the future.

Taking all these factors together, it may not have any impact now, but if it continues to be used as a "smart weapon" for a long time, it may have some bad consequences.

Judging from the overall character displayed by the trolls and elves, they must generally be kind to the ancient trees, and it is basically impossible for them to commit vicious incidents such as deliberate abuse.

At this stage, of course, only heavy artillery, high-level dual-purpose reaction chamber rapid-fire cannons, Wind Wolf machine guns, and other relatively primitive equipment are filled in;

But in the future, there may be more diversified weapons and even defensive forces deployed in it.

Speaking of defensive power, the advanced salamander's offensive ability to wipe out six thousand living forces was honestly a bit frightening to the witch doctors;

After the most important part of the transformation is completed, the corresponding research on embryo culture adaptability will begin.

The witch doctors are optimistic about this. The completely unrelated Wind Wolf King can raise batches of tree elves for the group, and the more closely related high-level salamanders are naturally suitable;

Based on this, the parliament believes that as long as the corresponding policies and cultural guidance work are done well, it will be enough to achieve a higher level of integration among the three parties, and make this 'unity' an unshakable one before social hearts become more complex in the future.

overall understanding.

This kind of estrangement based on differences in cognition is likely to change the internal trust situation of the elves and trolls, and have a profound or shallow negative impact on the society as a whole.

Second, the ancient tree itself looks similar to the elf;

Compared with the previous Mother Tree No. 1, this is already an incredible speed.

However, even if we do not consider the possibility of a few anti-social personalities in the overall population, for the ancient trees who clearly possess wisdom, does this kind of ‘goodwill’ equal satisfaction?

In the future, the area around the headquarters will have a set of three-dimensional forts covering the Heihe River channel, the left bank of the Heihe River, and more than 100 kilometers in all directions of the headquarters, and even further areas.

The tentative changes in the treatment of ancient trees are part of this aspect.

For now, before all ancient trees are cultivated, their somatic cell suppliers actually have to undergo a deep meditation and hypnosis process similar to the conferring of a 'thinking stamp', so it may not be a concern in a longer period of time.

They are at risk of backlash.

In this way, the time spent in the entire early and mid-term process will be greatly shortened, thereby immediately improving the department's ability to cultivate tree elves.

That is, the fort was dismantled from its original location and moved to the area surrounding the headquarters to establish a new system.

Among them, the two plateau fortresses in the Outer North and Outer Northeast were even equipped with additional totem armor layers in the later period to deal with possible threats from the northern tribes in the future.

Naturally, the witch doctors would not let them die. The ancient trees that formed the cage were each assigned to a rest area. With the sufficient supply of low-energy nutrient concentrate from the headquarters, they began their own independent regrowth journey.

Therefore, there are currently 70 (No. 3) + 70 (No. 2) + 35 (No. 1), a total of 175 ancient war trees. After completing the cage mission, they differentiated and degenerated into 'ontological maturity', but the 'chimera only

The core area is left in a deformed state and urgently needs to be rooted and restored.

The land guns used to deal with the volcano group this time, as well as some of the dismantled naval guns, will become the initial members of this three-dimensional fort group;

Together with the forces that will be expanded in stages later, they will exist as part of the defensive force of the headquarters, and will be continuously upgraded in response to the improvement of technical levels.

Their backlash may not cause any big waves on the material level, but it will still cause damage to the spiritual level after all.

Trolls and elves who are not mentally prepared may not understand the reason for the ancient trees' resistance;

They will subjectively believe that they are obviously the creators of the ancient trees and have given them the greatest degree of goodwill and trust. But why are these trees not grateful and why do they betray them?

On the other hand, they have once again paid attention to the protection of the headquarters and other large cities.

Bs, or ancient trees, sooner or later will realize that this is no different from being kept in captivity, and the result may be estrangement, hostility, and even backlash.

The animal experiments will last for several years depending on the progress. At least until the first batch of animal experiments are completed and the corresponding observation period has passed, the cultivation task of the tree elves will be allowed to proceed in an orderly manner from small to large;

However, this is just a guess. Before the elf embryo breeding program is officially launched, it must first be tested through the Warcraft experiment to truly prove the ability of the advanced salamander cell fluid in this regard.

Moreover, due to its size and the degree of invasion of plants when injured, higher salamanders are bound to be able to produce more high-energy culture media, thereby increasing the number of embryos that can be cultured at one time.

Of course, although the parliament is afraid of higher creatures, there is actually no need to be too anxious about this matter;

The committee and all participants must first work steadily and strive to come up with a set of expansion plans that can serve as the foundation for all generations, and then build on this basis step by step;

Ultimately, a proactive defense platform with surveillance and long-range fixed-point strike capabilities was created that takes into account air, land, sea, and river defenses.

Therefore, after this war is over, they will basically have no use.

Nearly a hundred witch doctors spent about a month to make the two completely established;

After that, it took several months to carry out internal modifications on them, so that although they were still limited, they had stabilized functionality.

In particular, the 140 ancient trees that merged into No. 2 and No. 3 suffered heavy losses at the chimera level. They contributed 70% of each body, serving as the strength and structural cornerstone of the main trunk of the mother tree, as well as various functional areas.

carrier.

But this is actually against the current regulations, so no witch doctor proposed this idea at this time, which is a trick but does not comply with ethical standards.

Of course, the ancient war tree group has contributed a lot this time, and the witch doctors will work in groups to help them regenerate, and will not let them recover on their own after ten years.

Among the three successful capture cases, two were seriously injured and were picked up from underneath;

Another is to activate the natural power through luck, thereby avoiding overturning at the critical moment.

It can be said that the several large fulcrum cities built in the Black Forest and the northern plateau each have a minimum of city wall-style defense means;

In addition, land forts will also usher in their own new destiny

The existing land-based fixed-point forts are completely designed for the volcanic group area in terms of location selection;

This does not only refer to the Ancient Tree of War. When faced with problems that may arise between elves and trolls in the future and to prevent them from happening in the bud, the methods of dealing with them may be different, but the starting point of the ideas is the same.

Therefore, with the help of these arrangements made in advance, the witch doctors were able to complete the initial construction in just a few months.

In the plan, this will be a highly automated precision long-range strike platform with a command system within the headquarters;

For example, reduce stereotypes based on education and culture, such as ‘trolls are reckless’, ‘elves are arrogant’, ‘ancient trees are stupid’, etc.;

Because, this is actually a two-way process. Trolls who are not reckless are likely to become reckless under the influence of society, elves who are not arrogant will gradually develop arrogance, and there are also slow-moving trolls who are not stupid at all.

old tree

Easier said than done, this whole process can be said to affect the whole body.

And the most basic thing is to formally extend the imported concept of 'citizen' to the entire society. While making it cover all trolls, elves, and ancient trees, it will also extend the previously vague rights and obligations.

Divide materialization and article culture.

Citizens have the obligation to pay taxes, to protect the safety of the population, to keep scientific and spiritual knowledge secret from the outside world, and to abide by good laws.

Citizens have the right to check, balance and supervise the exercise of public power, the right to hold any public office, the right to enjoy benefits in accordance with regulations, the right to equal access to spiritual knowledge, and the right to equal opportunities to learn scientific knowledge.

As long as you are a citizen, no matter you are an ancient tree, a troll, or an acquired or innate elf, you need to fulfill the same obligations and enjoy rights based on the same standards.

The difficulty lies mainly in the differences in overall qualifications

For example, tree elves have overwhelming advantages in academic ability, witch doctor qualifications, etc. How to prevent this advantage from turning into the superiority of a small group and preventing it from affecting the 'equality' commitment made by the society as a whole?

It is a huge test we will face in the future.
