From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 281 A seemingly normal step forward

Meditation space·Mimic sea of ​​consciousness

At this time, the part representing the 'subconscious' has only left about one-fifth of the whole 'iceberg', and the rest has become the self and part of the computing power;

What Nesta needs to complete next is to digest the last and most stubborn "undersea iceberg" and bring it completely out of the water.

The first thing to be carried out is the transformation of the extracerebral nervous system;

Because, after the emergence of digital visualization bodies, it is no longer necessary for them to continue to remain highly differentiated for functionality. They can also embark on the "all-powerful road", gain a broader space for evolution, and become the core of thinking.

In part, it provides a part of the computing power for the digital visualization body.

This is still a hard work. Based on previous experience, if it is completed in a living state, it will take roughly five to six years. However, if you maintain a closed state and meditate, it should take about a few months.

.

Half a year passed quickly, and Nesta in the training cabin opened his eyes again. He tried to move his body in the viscous liquid in the limited space, and observed the flow of 0s and 1s in the visualization body at any time.

.

At this time, all the nerve connections in the body, including the spinal cord, have actually disappeared. They have all been transformed into multifunctional cells, and the body has not experienced any changes as a result. On the contrary, it has become more agile.

Feel.

Next, there is the blood, which is related to the transmission of nutrients and life gases. In addition, there is the most stubborn "nail house" brain.

In the excitement, he temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​taking the next step immediately, and decided to be cautious and try to "turn back" first. If there were no problems, he could continue to complete the follow-up path.

The first thing to try is the operation of the body without the 'brain' being involved at all, and this is also the most important step, related to whether the complete transformation of the body is feasible.

Nesta has found a way to try it. It seems feasible to put the brain into sleep for a short time.

So for the first time, Nesta issued the order to "sleep completely for three seconds" to all components of the "brain" during meditation, and the body center was handed over to the digital elves to take over until the brain regained consciousness.

Here, these dying old people enjoy generous treatment and adequate care, but the road ahead and the future are dead, and there is actually no hope at all;

'It seems that she is not in the headquarters. She has also started to waste time on the weak. She must be pulled over to retreat with me. The brain center is about to wake up, so we can do it later.'

However, as the number of scientific researchers increases, some witch doctors have begun to consider the feasibility of other directions, so there should be more subdivisions in the future.

With this idea in mind, she successively summoned many important officials and representatives from the army, the ruling government, the Law Office, the Baomin Yuan, and the Industrial, Agricultural and Commercial Research Institute, and from another perspective, she gained a more comprehensive grasp of the specific situation of the country.

.

In terms of practice, the training of the body and will, as well as the integration of the armor core and external nerves, are the current focus of the soldiers;

As for the form of combat, armored warriors and various large-scale totem weapons are the mainstream.

Although the witch doctor was talking to himself, his stupid "pseudo-intelligence" still answered the question dutifully.

To put it simply, the total number of citizens of the Republic at this time is 71,348, including 3,001 tree elves, 1,508 ancient tree spirits, 56,137 elves advanced from trolls, and 10,702 trolls;

It can be seen from this that the 'National Elf Plan' has achieved a lot, and it is expected that around the 70th year of the Rune Calendar, we will become a true 'Elf Nation'.

"Forget it that I didn't ask you. Let's check the vital signs of Mr. Pioneer and see if there are any problems."

Theoretically, the old age of a troll will last about 30-50 years, and its span mainly depends on the physical consumption in the prime of life;

After passing through this varying period of old age, they will enter a "dying period" in which they have difficulty moving and cannot take care of themselves, eating and drinking. This period will last for several years.

'Individual cells must be more versatile and powerful.'

"Report the end point of the abnormal flow." The witch doctor on duty in the control room did not put down his guard because of this, but asked for specific information about the 'pseudo-intelligence' while manually checking the previous changes.

"The review is complete during the review, and the end point is located at Meditation Room 09, Area 1, Tree Top."

"The inspection was completed during the inspection. It is in good condition and everything is normal."

Relying on its own flexibility, it has independently expanded from the "pilot area" and is being learned by more and more regions.

"How about we tell you more~ I want to hear more about you and about the past of 'Tooth Department'."

"Haha... I've been injured too much and I'm about to die in my old age. I've been too devoured by past injuries and have no chance."

But just three seconds later, the mother tree’s ‘pseudo-intelligent program’ made a sound again.

But the latter has completely lost the possibility of training. Whether it is the improvement of will or physical training, it is not something that the dying trolls can complete.

As a result, a pair of cold eyes containing extreme rationality and endless desire suddenly opened, and then a violent aura suddenly rose from the meditation room.

~~~~~~

Located in a secluded area on the edge of the headquarters, there is a huge courtyard with elegant scenery and small springs everywhere;

In addition, some totem tree houses of different heights and shapes, but with a strong natural atmosphere, exist among the scenery. They are large or small, standing or lying, and are arranged shadowily on the banks of streams and among fruit trees.

While thinking, the complete elf body in the training cabin suddenly began to undergo violent deformation.

The complete wolf body, then the saber-toothed beast, the ocean monster sent by the fang, the bear in the forest, these monsters that he had dissected and truly understood were quickly reappeared in his body in the blink of an eye;

Then Nesta suddenly 'disintegrated'. Hundreds of billions of cells were like cyanobacteria in the sea, floating independently in the culture chamber. There was only a solitary brain and an unknown length of blood.

, wrapped in blood vessels, it still stayed in place very strangely, floating in the culture fluid.

A brisk voice sounded from behind the old troll, which contained a 'sense of youth' that made him envious and slightly jealous.

"What's a pity? How wonderful your past was! You didn't have to go to school, you didn't have to do homework, and it was so exciting!"

The short but long three seconds finally ended at this moment

~~~~~~~~

"Alert! Alert! The flow of cell fluid from the burrow wolf is out of the control of the mother tree!"

'Well, what keeps me running now is the cave wolf cell fluid? It's such a good thing. It shouldn't be wasted on weak guys. It can become my food and energy in the future;'

"Nonsense, why are you forgotten? I'm just willing to listen to the old gentleman tell stories about the past~"

However, Nesta has taken a different approach in the application of implants, 'artificially' smoothing out this qualification restriction;

Both, the witch doctor facilitated by meditation;

"I was almost killed by a monster in the mountains. But I survived. Cough cough cough. Cough cough."

"Sorry, I didn't know."

And when such 'small successes' gradually increased, she could do the things she really wanted to do.

So at the very least, Azshara wants to organize the forces to make an effort, instead of just giving up on them without caring about them like they are now;

One is a naturalized witch doctor from the tribal era;

These witch doctors are already extremely talented, and they have all been promoted to the second level and are accumulating towards the third level.

"As an auxiliary, a comprehensive totem system, or a solidified spell state, can also be arranged in the body that is operating at any time, so that the innermost layer of the body can obtain the required gas and absorb the required nutrients;'

However, the energy consumption in the cultivation cabin suddenly increased by more than ten times. A large amount of cave wolf cell fluid was forcibly extracted by Nesta without any scruples, and all of them became the previous transformation, and the current maintenance

The energy required by your own cells to function.

But then, his words were interrupted by a violent cough, and he once again truly felt how broken his body was.

"The alarm is cleared, the alarm is cleared, and the energy flow returns to normal."

"Yes, Your Excellency Pioneer is located in Meditation Room 09, Area 1, and has been in retreat for ** years."

There are three things to do when a new official takes office. Although there is no such saying in this world, after taking office and having a stable transition for a period of time, Azshara also started her own strategy;

Among them, the 'dying troll problem' was the first 'stepping stone' chosen by Azshara.

The number '43' is definitely not too many, and birth, old age, illness and death are the normal cycle of life, but if we think about it in today's general environment, then this kind of 'death' is very important to these old trolls who are on the verge of death.

, but it seems a bit 'unfair' and a bit cruel.

Therefore, we need to go through a familiar stage now, not only to find a suitable "stepping stone", but also to let all the important people understand their own style of doing things;

After all, although she has always been in a high position, she has never established actual reporting relationships with most departments except the military, so a corresponding adaptation period is still necessary.

This is actually a bit helpless. Whether they are civil servants, sergeants, or people working at home and farming, but in terms of the definition of extraordinary, they can all be summarized as warriors. This is also the Republic's "extraordinary system"

'One of the clear evidences that there is a deficiency in the above.

She believes that in the current period, in many aspects, it is best to just keep going at the pace set when your partner is in power.

Therefore, now that they have completed the advancement and obtained roughly the same qualification platform through the 'Elven Body', their future achievements will not be limited by the innate differences in the past.

'The next step is to establish an intercellular circulation system from the outside to the inside and then from the inside to the outside based on this model. This can only be done after the brain center wakes up. There is no time.'

A girl who feels that she is incompetent and hopes that she will grow up quickly thinks like this;

As a result, a strong feeling of regret and reluctance crept into the heart of the old troll, and was revealed through his cloudy eyes.

“What a pity”

Among them, there are a total of 1,343 pure witch doctors. Except for a few "deviants", the vast majority are deeply involved in the field of scientific research;

Therefore, after another buffer period, the brain slowly enters sleep (without interrupting the supply of nutrients).

The activity of the cortex gradually decreases until it stops completely, the nerve operation tends to stagnate, and the electrical signals disappear;

Gradually, Nesta's life activities reached a low point as if they were dying step by step.

Finally, when the brain and all its related functions completely went to sleep, his thinking also completed a 'death' in an instant.

Talking about the past and the difficult life in the wilderness, the old troll seemed to be full of energy, and bits and pieces of vitality belonging to the past were vaguely visible in his body;

Although the sadness came inexplicably, she was also smart, and she understood the source of her emotions in just a blink of an eye.

'Obviously everyone has the opportunity to go further, and life is obviously getting better and better. Why do they have to die?'

Just as the witch doctor was in doubt and the pseudo-intelligence was busy apologizing, more than a hundred witch doctors swarmed in, and then inquired one after another and learned the specific situation.

The old troll was obviously willing to speak, even though verbal expression became very difficult due to the drag of his body, but his old face showed joy at this moment, as well as a yearning for the physique of his prime.

The meeting lasted for several days, and the contents reported by various parties were of course not only the above, but also military construction, weapons research and development, northern intelligence and other matters, and Azshara learned about them one by one during this period.

'Organs are also a burden. Their respective functions are scattered throughout the body and no longer need to exist. The brain also needs to complete the transformation as soon as possible. But it is too late now.'

'Blood, a troublesome thing, will become a weak point during disintegration. It must be banned. The transmission of nutrients and life gases, as well as the metabolism of waste materials, can it be replaced by osmotic pressure between cells?'

Now, not only are all the first batch of elves taking up their posts as witch doctors, but most of them have reached the second level, and less than half of the second batch of elves have also completed their duties;

The place at your feet is called the ‘Republic Nursing Home’, which houses about 43 elderly people who are near death, and this is the total number of trolls at this stage in the country.

‘Reproductive function... I haven’t left any offspring, and Azshara likes it very much, so where should I keep Azshara?’

Therefore, in the current stage when the whole country is rushing towards the road of elves, they seem to have become the outcasts of the times, and can only wait to die helplessly under the care of the Department of Welfare.

The elf girl is still a student at the Central School, and taking care of the old man in front of her is a social practice course she chose in school;

The girl felt inexplicably sad when she heard this. She was still young and didn't know how to hide her emotions, even though her eyes were filled with tears.

~~~~~~~~

Nesta did not know the years in his practice, and the years did not end due to his absence. The Republic was still running steadily here, and was indeed getting stronger day by day.

Azshara silently wrote down these contents and regarded them as one of the 'options'. She decided to take the time to understand the more specific situation first, and even conduct an on-site inspection.

But even so, the connection between cells still exists, and the 'self' belonging to Nesta also maintains its existence almost the same as before in this continuing relationship.

‘Try. Partial success, the price is increased energy consumption, the benefit is improved efficiency’

But the price is that the prime of life ends. After entering old age, the body only maintains stability for a few years, and then rapidly enters the stage of death at around 270 years old.

"Old sir, how is the sun today?"

"My arms were broken three times and my legs were broken twice. Ha. But there were more broken roots but I forgot."

‘Can’t we just watch them die like this?’

However, because the process of its external expansion was not coordinated and arranged, and due to the confusion of new and old grassroots organizations, some institutional and functional confusion arose at this time;

Therefore, despite having various ambitions and plans in her heart, Azshara did not rush to pursue any great achievements or huge policy changes when Fu Yi came to power.

"Well... think back to when I went to fight with the little Nesta guy... it was just a small scene. When I was young, fighting was a matter of life and death."

In this regard, the categories currently available in the Republic are actually not very rich, and can even be said to be "rare". There are only three categories: pure witch doctors, war witches, and pure warriors.

"Good hoo hoo, good sun. hoo hoo"

Coincidentally, at this time, a woman who was at the top of the political stage also had similar but somewhat different thoughts in her mind.

'No, we can't just watch these seniors die slowly.'

In terms of quality, there are 4 third-level, 783 second-level, and 556 first-level pure witch doctors at this time, and both individual levels and quantity are experiencing steady and measurable growth;

The former mainly depends on age, but the individual's effort also has a certain reference value. Hardworking guys can always improve faster than lazy guys. The latter depends on the cultivation cycle of the mother tree.

‘Active respiration is maintained by body surface tissues, mimicking the respiratory pores of plants and the function of the parotid glands of marine organisms on the skin, establishing a direct circulation from the body surface to the body;’

The old troll's name is Feodosta, a real living history that existed long before Nesta was born;

"This is certainly a good thing, but what happened before? The embryos were almost in danger."

What I need is to make real achievements in some aspects that are not critical but are eye-catching enough, and in this way, I can leave a direct impression on myself in the hearts of citizens and in the eyes of public authorities.

The first signs of power.

Three seconds are both short and long, and Nesta, who has no signs of any abnormality, is just concentrating at this time, using his super high speed of thinking to buy time to make various attempts.

'I have become more complete, but while I have gained a few things, it also seems that the most important part is missing?'

At this time, in a certain area of ​​the courtyard, an elf who looked like a girl was pushing a wheelchair and strolling along the path among the flowers;

And sitting on the wheelchair he was pushing was a blue-skinned troll.

It doesn't take too careful observation to see from the loose skin covered with black spots, from the tired eyes, from the pursed mouth due to the loss of teeth, and from the body that has completely disappeared.

From the sense of muscles, he could tell that what the girl was pushing was an old troll who was on the verge of death.

By the end of this series of reports, she finally clarified the priorities of various things, and had a rough idea of ​​her work focus in the near, medium and far stages.

Panting like a bellows, the old troll responded with difficulty,

"There are so many things for you. Why do you have to take care of me, a forgotten old guy like me."

The pure warriors are the collection of all the remaining people except the little trolls and elves;

The ‘autonomous body’ model, which has been in ‘pilot’ mode, has shown strong adaptability and vitality;

They can only spend the last days of their lives in emptiness, and then embrace death when everyone is rushing towards a better future.

The elf girl hopes to help them, but she is too young. Although she has the body of a tree elf, she is still a long way from becoming a witch doctor.

"It's a bit strange. It's better to report it to the lady first, just in case something goes wrong with the Pioneer."

The three are the witch doctors contributed by the first and second batch of tree elves;

These two groups of tree elves account for the vast majority of the number of witch doctors. Their respective levels and promotions can be roughly divided by their age, provided that their level of effort is not vastly different.

;

Turn back the time, temporarily leave the meditation room, and focus on the new speaker who has just taken power.

Azshara, who has been at the core of the Republic for a long time, is by no means a political newcomer. She deeply understands the difference between herself and her predecessor, and understands that she, as the Speaker of the Parliament, does not actually have the same absolute prestige as her husband Nesta.

"No. 09, Area 1? It's the place where pioneers retreat, right? How many years has it been?"

Nesta's thinking did stop for a period of time after the brain shut down, but as the digital elves in the meditation space took over all the activities of the body without any obstacles, he woke up again immediately;

More than 50,000 of these citizens live in the headquarters, and the remaining 20,000 or so live in a total of 11 cities and fortresses in the Black Forest and the northern plateau;

At the grassroots level in each region, at this time, the old and new rules are alternating. Although the past "Ten Troll Squad" model still exists, it has ceased to exist in name only due to the changing times;

For example, the expansion of the population base, the diversification of industry types, and the increasingly formed demand for diversified partners have all had a huge impact on the traditional model of the ‘Ten Trolls Squad’;

Let’s look at the witchcraft aspect again

They are transformed from the "Witch Doctor Apprentices" in the past. There are currently 5,853 of them in total. Due to the deliberate training in the past, most of them are scientific research and education-oriented individuals, and only a few are in the military and legal affairs departments.

, or people are active, but no matter in which aspect, the role they can play is of great importance.

"Alert! Alert! Tree elf training cabins No. 336 to 1354 are about to have their high-level energy supply interrupted!"

These witch doctors can be divided into three categories according to their sources:

The talents of these witch doctors vary. Some have qualifications equivalent to the former, while others rely on meditation to force their way into the position. Logically speaking, they should have differentiated their ranks according to their qualifications at this time;

"What kind of problem could there be? Don't talk nonsense. But I will report it right away."

Between the 'old age' and the 'near-death period', in addition to the difference in 'self-care' ability, it is also reflected in the 'advanced potential';

Among them, although the former's body has begun to weaken, his overall condition is still stable, so he can be further promoted to an elf and return his longevity to the 'elf in the prime of life' stage in one fell swoop, thus gaining a long remaining life;

As they continue to grow older, the witch doctor levels of all tree elves will move towards the second level step by step. Even the laziest among them can probably complete this step before entering their prime;

From this point of view, the huge resources invested by the Republic in its embryonic and infancy stages were not in vain.

He suffered too many injuries in his prime, even had his hands and feet regenerated several times, and faced death several times. He relied on his ability to heal each time to survive.

The elf girl leaned down, brushed away the dry hair that was blown by the wind and blocked his eyes, and continued in a tone full of expectation,

The girlish mechanical sound resounded throughout the No. 1 Mother Tree and awakened hundreds of elf witch doctors here;

At that moment, their expressions suddenly became nervous, they put down everything they were holding, and all swarmed towards the central control room.

In addition, each citizen’s belonging in terms of ‘extraordinary profession’ was also obtained in this series of interviews with relatively detailed data;

'My body is also stronger, and I seem to be able to do such things.'

After all, no matter how good the care is in their later years, it cannot compare to giving them hope.

Therefore, Azshara regarded this matter as one of the important targets of attention at this stage, and convened a group of witch doctors to begin targeted and race-against-the-clock research.

The time is estimated to be only 5 to 7 years. There have been trolls who are dying year by year. But in the end, she hopes to win a chance for them, a chance to stand on the same platform as the rest of the citizens.

see future opportunities;

And if you still can't find the answer within this time limit, then there is no need to study it anymore.

Because these 43 people are already on the verge of death and are the last batch in the country. This group will completely disappear from the Republic’s ‘population’ statistics within ten years at the longest.

The idea is not completely determined, but there is some inspiration based on the "Altar of Ancestors", not only whether it is possible, so more power is needed to participate.

As for whether it can succeed.

Azshara is actually not very confident, but there is a difference in mentality between those who have tried hard and those who have not.

It was really painful to write this chapter. I was so fed up that I had to go to the toilet countless times a day.

(End of chapter)
