From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 288 Feelings and subsequent planning

After listening to the music for a while, Nesta planned to go out and take a look.

Before Azshara left, she pointed to a cabinet and said that there were some interesting little inventions that had been produced in the kingdom over the years, which might be a source of fun for him.

Nesta now opened it, and sure enough he saw some strangely painted objects inside, but after scanning it with his senses, he immediately understood what these things were for;

While marveling at it, Nesta picked out a few that looked useful, and decided to try them out first.

He first picked up a palm-sized box with an external nerve slave interface and an ultra-thin slot on the side. There were also some smaller cards placed together with it, which seemed to be inserted into the slot.

Nesta looked up and down, then picked up one of the cards and stuffed it into the slot. When he touched it, he felt dense carvings on it, which seemed to record something.

Afterwards, based on his grasp of its internal structure, he deliberately pressed a few buttons, and then melodious music sounded from inside;

Obviously, this is a music player, and it does not operate on the same principle as a 'totem radio', but more like the 'CD player' of the previous life, which obtains music by reading those cards with fine textures;

Moreover, this thing has two listening modes: 'public broadcast' and 'brain reception'. Nesta has always been a good elf with a public heart, so he grew a 'braid' of his own, and after adjustment, it matches the totem.

Mechanically connected;

So in an instant, the music experience became different, no sound was leaked to the outside world anymore, as if the sensitive hearing had become a decoration;

This is obviously something that "earplugs" cannot do, and it is one of the main reasons why the Republic of China is gradually phasing out the "in-ear listening mode".

Nesta thinks this is a good thing. Although this music may not necessarily be the type he likes, it has a unique and fresh feeling in this world.

So, he casually tossed his braid behind him, and the player connected to the end suddenly swayed like a hanging hammer, but was soon controlled by the braid and settled down;

Afterwards, Nesta took out a few more cards and stuffed them into his body, took away several other types of machines, and went out with great expectations.

Although the residence of Nesta and Azshara is still a 'tree house' in nature, it is no longer in the shape of a tree, and it is not a separate house, but shares a house with the 'autonomous body' where they live.

Community-style mega-buildings;

Therefore, at this time, he did not choose to 'jump off the building' as before, but took the device that went directly from the room to the bottom of the building and came to the outside world;

The device was opened facing the street and left no trace of a 'door' when closed.

So, he took out a fist-sized cube and placed it on the ground, and then a tube stretched out from his chest to connect with it and began to provide it with initial energy;

With the supply of energy, the totem groups placed in specific positions began to exert force, and the seeds that had been placed in the cube began to take root and sprout, and gradually formed a variety of things with an obvious mechanical feel, and then connected with each other to form

A whole.

This seems to be a car. It is narrow at the front and thick at the back. It has a streamlined structure full of speed, just like a fighter jet with its wings removed;

In addition, there is a large nozzle at the tail, which seems to be a component used to provide additional power.

Nesta got into the car and found that there were also two control modes, 'manual' and 'nerve control'. But at this time, his nerves were not connected to the player, although they could also split into new ones for connection.

But after all, 'driving' is an experience I haven't experienced for a long time, so I can't help but want to try it manually.

~~~~

In addition to the 'humanities' aspect, Nesta's perception also scanned some more detailed things.

Now, 23 years later, the witch doctors have initially established an overall urban operation system with five mother trees as the core and room for expansion.

The core of this type of regulations is "restriction of sexual desire" and "abstinence", which promotes such behavior only between fixed partners, and stipulates that each citizen cannot have more than 4 partners;

At this time, the most eye-catching thing inside the headquarters is the large building composed of functional magic plants and a small amount of metal materials;

Nesta's perception swept along the street and found that these buildings were comprehensive office buildings, scientific research centers, military production bases, and important material production lines, which integrated many of the Republic's key industries;

Therefore, 'again' is to propose the establishment of a full-time intelligent service system. After all, with the upgrade of the Mother Tree Center, many programmed affairs no longer need to be handled by the elves in person, and can be completely handed over to machines to handle them autonomously.

.

Its appearance often has a style of green mixed with purple and gold. The former is a 'last resort' caused by the original crown roof being tiled on the outside of the building. For these buildings with plant characteristics, this is a unique way to save energy.

;

The latter seems to be a color preference. Many buildings are outlined in gorgeous purple and gold. And it has to be said that after looking at it for a long time, Nesta also felt the splendor from the ever-changing purple and gold.

A three-layer traffic system is arranged at the horizontal distance between buildings. The highest point is the outer edge of the ring building, or a high-altitude semi-enclosed passage connected to each other, which is specially used for pedestrians to shuttle between buildings;

Below it is the city's public transportation system, which has completely abandoned moose power in sections and replaced it with carriages with totem locomotives, driving at high speed on the empty rails that pass between buildings;

Further below, there is a ground lane that is not highly utilized. It is quite wide in previous lives, but considering the tall elves and the various means of transportation tailor-made for them

, if not very spacious;

Take Azshara's car as an example. It is more than 13 meters long and more than 5 meters wide. At best, it can only drive four cars parallel to each other on the main street.

Most of the buildings on the surface today are the origin of such systems, and they also retain the ability to turn into attack platforms. They can be transformed into weapons to participate in the attack through deformation when necessary;

Below the surface, most buildings share a foundation formed by the root system of a mother tree. The root system of the mother tree is connected with the root system of the building, forming a whole that is more defensive and has more usable space than the surface.

fortress.

In addition, there are also 'kinetic energy protective barriers' and 'energy interference barriers' that also act on the defensive end;

The former is a huge armor layer that costs a lot of money once it is used, but the advantage is that it can be recycled afterwards, degraded and reused;

The latter is an energy barrier that imitates the expression of the ancestral altar and is based on the stabilization of spell energy. It is subdivided into wind blade barriers, flame barriers, water barriers, negative effect barriers, etc.

This form can use effect hedging or system disruption to resist the invasion of most spells, but it also has shortcomings such as insufficient stability, unrecoverable energy consumption, and rigid modes.

What causes this phenomenon is a confusing system based on a series of perceptions such as vision, hearing, smell, etc. It is named "Mystery Lock" by the witch doctors and is part of the "defense system" in the early planning.

Here, vagrants do not exist, nor do active or passive workaholics;

Every prime-age citizen has a relatively stable job, and has at most 12 light hours of normal on-the-job time, 12 light hours of semi-mandatory study time, and the remaining 24 light hours, which they can allocate freely.

So, he and his friends went to listen to music, participated in reading exchange meetings, participated in the writing of stage plays, and showed off a wave of musical 'creation';

The script written by Nesta was astonished by his companions. Everyone thought that his imagination was really too big;

But in terms of music, I don’t have any good reviews.

The part that was 'plagiarized' from past life memories was criticized for being 'not imaginative enough', and the music range he compiled was considered to be too narrow;

With the upgrade of algorithms, the space required for totems is increasingly reduced, and the energy efficiency ratio is greatly improved. Cores at all levels can maintain more powerful functionality even if they maintain the same scale as before, let alone the increasingly expanded cores now?

In addition, there are a larger number of comprehensive autonomous buildings, that is, the community-type buildings where he and Azshara lived at this time. Not only do they contain hundreds of large residences with considerable space, but there are also some bars, fighting establishments, etc.

Desk, reading room, maintenance center and other service areas.

Today, it is these totem cores at various levels that integrate a large number of functional plug-ins that support the operation of the entire city.

There, there is the core of the mother tree, with metal storage warehouses and solid nutrient storage warehouses;

The former is the core of the algorithm for the operation of the headquarters at this time, and the latter contains countless metal ingots, solidified bodies of concentrated nutrient solutions, and other reserves;

Of course, his actions were recorded in the central office.

The central system of the headquarters will no longer identify individuals based on their appearance. Instead, it will collect various signal characteristics emitted by individuals, and then conduct comparison and screening through internal registered information;

However, there are no traffic lights or crosswalks here, and almost all the elves driving various vehicles are speeding at speeds of more than 300 kilometers per hour;

Fortunately, urban traffic adopts a three-dimensional layout, and also relies on the elves' superb reaction and agility attributes. The impact on the senses of a speed of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour is similar to that of humans in the previous life when the speed was 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, so there is no traffic.

ACCIDENT.

However, it does not prohibit or encourage the use of Druid's transformation ability during the process, and it does not interfere with the selection of the gender of the partner.

Of course, his purpose is not all for racing.

In a few days, Nesta split into more than ten bodies, met all kinds of friends at the same time, went to various places with them, and saw a lot of real life beyond written materials.

Almost all the organs in the headquarters are running 48 hours a day, but the workers within them have time margins supported by the division of labor system, division of labor system, and high degree of automation.

And this is especially true for a strong man like Nesta. After the initial excitement has passed, the ground speed car can no longer bring him any sensory stimulation;

Therefore, although the elves' ideas on such matters are far more open than Nesta's own previous life, after all, the situation is generally controllable, so Nesta does not think of using more stringent restrictions.

regulation;

After all, although that may make society run in the way he agrees with, the rebellious emotions under pressure may also give rise to stronger desires;

In addition, elves and humans are not of the same race, have huge physical differences, and do not share the same history, so there is no need to forcibly transplant some moral concepts that are not necessarily true.

And almost every individual is within its identification range at any time, not for monitoring, but to confirm the consistency of the signal source.

The tree elves are a little different. They have been instilled in the education system with the concepts of 'fixed partner' and 'restriction of sexual desire' since they were young. They will be more accepting of this and more willing to abide by the rules.

At the same time, the regulations prohibit pleasure involving more than five individuals, pleasure lasting more than three days, pleasure with non-common people, and physical harm exceeding a certain limit in the process.

of joy;

But now, they are all still a little short of the mark. After all the cells except the brain have been transformed, Nesta plans to carry out the "second step", that is, to assist them in completing their promotion quickly;

Moreover, the two witch doctors, Fang Fang and Rough Fang, also wanted to retire. After discussing with Nesta, they decided to completely put down their management duties after reaching the fifth level and concentrate on studying magic experimental projects.

It is true that it is a pity that high-level witch doctors are hampered by government affairs. In fact, the government, factories, farms, etc. also have this shortcoming. It is somewhat wasteful to use "people" to perform many duties;

He learned that the vast majority of citizens who came out of the tribal era, including witch doctors and warriors, believed that this was a rather stringent regulation, but out of trust in the decision-makers, as well as punitive measures such as confinement

deterrence, they are generally willing to abide by the rules;

For example.

If Nesta transforms into a non-existent individual and is in the headquarters, the center will send an 'unknown signal intrusion' warning and notify the security department to respond;

If he chooses an identity that actually exists and is currently in the headquarters or other fortresses to disguise, the center will send a warning of "duplicate signal source" and also notify the security department to conduct a "manual" screening;

These nutrients support the operation of the underground totem core. The underground core is connected to the underground totem pole, and is connected to the branch cores in the buildings on the ground under the coordination of the algorithm;

And so on and so forth

Although Nesta did not personally participate in this kind of ending song that often occurs after various entertainment activities, he also learned about the views of many compatriots on this restriction through exchanges.

Naturally, Nesta's career as a musician was brought to an end.

Of course, he didn't care.

From the perspective of urban structure, whether it is the rows of high and low buildings on the ground or the five huge ancient trees, they actually form a community underground and form a fortress with obvious ambitions, planning to take off as a whole;

And at the bottom of the fortress, he found a large number of cavities reserved for the power generation end. This is obviously a preparation for driving to the sky or even outside the atmosphere in the future, but he doesn't know when it can actually be done.

At the same time, Nesta is happy to see these situations, but is not satisfied that he can see these situations. He hopes that more stringent information protection measures can be established.

This system is divided into several parts, such as 'physical defense side', 'offensive side', 'sensory deception side', 'energy defense side', 'energy side', etc.

For example, the entire headquarters is in the air, or from the outside world, there are no high-rise buildings or the hustle and bustle of civilization at this time. It seems to be just a simple and ordinary forest;

These buildings usually have a height of more than 100 meters and less than 300 meters, and all buildings are located below the intersection between the trunk and crown of the mother tree.

Therefore, he does not plan to return to his official position for the time being, but plans to focus on research and try to explore more fundamental rules of connection between magic and matter. This is indeed what the magic system has been missing all along.

an aspect of.

Therefore, the formal exploration may have to wait until the veteran witch doctors represented by Fang and Rough Fang, and Freya are promoted;

Each building has a core composed of several to dozens of functional areas. The other various branch structures are extended, combined, and reconstructed around these cores, and then they are formed. Each one seems to be one, but in fact it can

Separate buildings.

In addition, the spare elf breeding room, cryo-sleep room, hypometabolic sleep room, data backup, and dormant military and civilian production lines have also been moved underground to deal with crises that may or may not occur in the future;

There are also more than a dozen urban energy and nutrient centers, as well as corresponding control systems, which are also running underground under layers of protection. A large number of elements are extracted from the ground and from the atmosphere. They are first converted into powdery solids, and then

It is formed into a concentrated liquid in a certain proportion, and then processed into a denser solid for storage;

There were also some friends who took him to the ‘Invention Seminar’ and showed Nesta various practical or impractical totem combination ideas and objects;

~~~~~

After the leisurely time lasted for a few days, Nesta left his friends and began to prepare for the subsequent stages of work.

In this way, he was able to start this 'adventure'.

The Republic has greatly changed now. The number of core citizens has increased to more than 190,000 in the past 23 years, and 180,000 of them live in the main area. Although the vast majority of them are still underage elves, the urban style has also changed due to the number of people.

The increase has produced huge changes.

However, it is not really chaotic. The various regulations based on the 'fixed partner system' that were introduced in the early years have played a very good inhibitory role and have not made everything go too far.

exaggerate.

It took Nesta half his life to slowly figure this out. If he had just traveled through time, he might have been very angry and frustrated at this time.

First of all, he was preparing to establish a research institute or laboratory, because he had a hunch that the kind of 'vision' that he and Azshara had found through a strange combination of circumstances would definitely connect matter, magic, and...

The three totems play an important role in the path;

If the disguised individual happens to be no longer in the area, the entry and exit records will be compared with the estimated task completion time notification, and the process will also be transferred to the manual identification process.

He had a great time, but he also saw some big or small problems

For example, the touch brought by art, the satisfaction brought by invention and creation, the freshness brought by making friends, and the excitement brought by competition often end in love for elves.

In addition, we also participated in bars, dance halls and other entertainment projects, and had a good experience of the elf-style ‘nightlife’;

And not only that, he also went there many times to experience activities such as unarmed combat in the ring, unrestricted armored combat, drag racing, and airplane racing. These all seemed to be very popular events, and his dozen or so bodies were often pulled by different groups.

Went to play, some even participated in a few games themselves.

After all, I have experienced flying at more than ten times the speed of sound with my body. The current speed of only a few hundred kilometers per hour is really close to ordinary walking.

The part that was forcibly created based on computing power was criticized as a soulless show of skill, saying that no emotion could be heard from it, and no emotion could be gained from it;

However, this 'first' cannot be carried out immediately now. After all, 'cheating' requires cooperation between him and Azshara, and the latter does have his own work to be busy now;

Regarding this, it is really difficult for Nesta to make too many judgments.

After all, they neither delayed their business nor lost their minds in joy, and this country, which transformed from a troll tribe into an extraordinary society in just a hundred years, lacked this aspect of morality or morality from the beginning.

non-moral' concepts;

Especially, in this era where reproduction and sex have been completely separated, various hobbies in society have become more and more free.

~~~~~~

Nesta went out for several days. During this period, he used different appearances to blend into different groups. Under the combined effect of visual senses and extraordinary perception, he understood from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top.

changes in the headquarters of the Republic;

Although this screening method cannot confirm his identity when he completely transforms, it will also cause certain troubles because of the programmed procedures, and Nesta himself is not a shady person, so there is really no need to pretend so thoroughly;

Therefore, he retained his core signal during transformation, allowing the center to always confirm his identity and avoid harassment after being screened.

Based on his assumptions about this prospect and his concerns about "strong intelligence", Nesta later submitted a formal written document as a member of parliament. While describing his own ideas, he also expressed his concerns about what should be done in the process.

Suggestions for setting limits.

Therefore, in subsequent discussions, the Parliament preliminarily defined the difference between 'strong intelligence' and 'weak intelligence' based on the current situation and imagination, and reached the stipulation that 'no matter what conditions, machines shall not be given independent will'

consensus

Under this consensus, the various central systems and branch systems of the Republic will be restricted to specialized intelligence that "makes decisions and takes actions within the scope of the established procedures";

They will only act in a specific area and can only focus on one thing, and will be helpless with things outside the scope of the preset program.

In particular, the combination of ‘brain algorithms’ and intelligent centers is included in the most stringent ‘comprehensive ban’ items;

That is, under any conditions, no individual or organization may target the intelligence center and experiment with this or similar algorithmic structures.

It is not known whether this is unfounded worry, and it is also unknown whether the strong wisdom in the face of magic will cause the same waves as in the previous life story. However, in the country of elves, there is indeed no need to take risks, and this pool of muddy water is still not clear. It's better to go there.

After considering and partially completing these things, with Azshara's fifth-level state becoming stable and stable, the two of them decided to find a few high-level monsters within the original target to try their hand at it;

According to predictions, the fifth-level witch doctor should be able to capture "advanced individuals" without any damage by a single target, so the two decided to confirm it with the serious injury list first.
