Chapter 338 Increment and Price

‘Mother Tree Space Station No. 345?’

When she was in school, Alena, under the leadership of her teacher in her senior year, simulated the design and virtual manufacturing of a space station with her classmates, so she knew the meaning of these words very well, and also understood the technology behind them.

Nature also has a good understanding of the things and abilities that will be formed after they are integrated;

But perhaps in order to leave more expectations for the real world to the elves, the knowledge taught in the school does not have too many realistic representations in this aspect, so there is no doubt about its reality in the outside world.

The appearance is something that Aliena and many other new elves do not understand.

At this moment, she was very happy that the education in the virtual realm had reservations, and driven by full of curiosity, she began to seriously look at everything around her.

At this moment, she was standing in a curved corridor. Judging from its curvature and the fact that the two sides were extending out of sight, this corridor might even be a complete ring. Starting from here, it might be possible to

After another round of orbit around the space station, it returns to the starting point again.

But rather than immediately verifying this speculation, the outer wall of the corridor farther away attracted her even more, so Alena changed her direction slightly and walked toward the outer wall dozens of meters ahead.

past.

When she got a little closer, she found that it seemed to be a wall that at least looked brown. As she continued to move forward, Alena finally understood what Zhinao meant by the 'observatory' just now.

After getting closer, although the 'wall' was still brown, its texture unexpectedly became completely transparent, and through this layer of 'glass', Alena saw the outside world that was extremely far away, but

The 'light ball' is also very conspicuous;

'Is this the sun?'

After such thoughts entered her mind, even if there was a layer of 'glass' between them, and even if they were still very far apart, the knowledge she had learned formed some kind of illusion, making her seem to really see the jump.

The huge flames were burning, and the relatively extreme high temperature and pressure were felt.

'well'

After a brief conversation in her heart, Alena regretted taking the physics course that Shadi introduced.

Because in that teacher's class, she had faced more shocking scenes many times, such as virtually boarding the surface of the sun and going deep into the sun. Although it had a good teaching effect at the time, today

, but at this moment, it deprived her of the shock and other emotions that should have appeared in her heart.

Then, her footsteps continued to move forward along the corridor, gradually throwing the brilliance of the sun behind her. Finally, the endless starry sky in the darkness came into view, and she saw the blue star on the back of the space station.

giant planet;

‘It’s so beautiful’

Although she had observed the mother star countless times in the virtual realm, it was different from the dull mood she had when looking at the sun and starry sky before. When she saw the mother star again, Alena still gained a lot.

Heartfelt emotion.

After looking at it for a long time, her eyes turned to the smooth metal wall inside that was purple-gold in color and occasionally covered with some light curtains, and she saw complex arrays of known or unknown totems on it.

The patterns are arranged in every corner where the sight is focused.

In front of the light curtains scattered everywhere, groups of young people and girls have gathered. Although the light curtains are constantly flashing, they cannot actually see any images directly or hear anything.

There was no sound, but those elves were indeed watching something intently.

Because the same situation is often encountered in the virtual world, especially in areas that require quietness such as libraries. Silent and imageless light curtains like this can be seen almost everywhere.

The reason is to take care of little elves like ourselves who are not yet able to 'perceive and send and receive freely', so they are designed to be in a 'plexus access' mode, or in a mode where they can only watch after adjusting the 'array frequency modulation'

;

Therefore, Aliena did not look surprised, but she still moved forward with the "watching the fun" mentality that seemed to be a natural feature of all civilized life, wanting to see what the elves were looking at, and why they were so serious;

And when she got closer and adjusted the formation pattern transformed by Ilya into it, she found that it was showing some actual conditions of the Republic during a certain period of time in the form of a 'short film'?

So, she read on with some curiosity, wanting to know which period of history it was and what kind of story it was telling.

~~~~~~~

Act 1.

In a city that was almost in ruins, a strange, building-like armored body was entangled with a big guy with a size of nearly 130 meters, and then an 'angel descended' took him away.

That big monster and some smaller monsters around it.

‘This seems to be the Beast King incident in Kulu Snow City that Sister Alama mentioned?’

Alena thought like this, and quickly matched the key targets one by one. Naturally, she also saw the platinum-skinned and black-skinned foreign eldest sister who had not been given too many shots, and then there was something funny about it.

think,

'It's really pretty. I wonder if Sister Alama succeeded?'

In the blink of an eye, the second act was revealed

In the Assembly Hall of the Republic, hundreds of great elves with various medals on their chests participated in a meeting either physically or through virtual projections;

The issues they discussed here seemed to be 'the popularization of anti-effect shields', 'sending troops to capture all Beastmasters', and 'finding ways to move near gods to the Black Forest', and the main reasons were 'the increase in elf growth continues'

Expansion', 'preventing the occurrence of similar attacks', and was finally approved by the meeting;

‘Sister Alama seems to have said this too’

Alena thought this while identifying the great elves she knew in the short film;

At the top, she recognized the current Grand Consul and the then Parliament Speaker, Ms. Azshara, and also saw pioneers, fangs, rough teeth, boat teeth, mechanical teeth, and other outstanding people, but unfortunately

But they don't seem to speak often, so not much is heard.

After that, the third act gradually emerges

Tens of thousands of well-armored Great Elves set out from their headquarters and from the mothership, and then from the deep mountains, from the canyons, and from the ocean, they knocked down the behemoths of the Beast King class one by one, and hung them in the air to transport them back.

Southern Black Forest;

And at the same time, nearly ten thousand more powerful armors set off directly from the headquarters. Together with the dozen or so behemoths that were hundreds of meters in size and landed from deep space orbit, they rushed towards the direction.

Everywhere, it seems that they are specially dealing with those 'near-god-level' super life forms;

Then, a giant white-scaled snake that was a kilometer long and dozens of meters thick was fished out of the sea, and a giant beast with a shoulder height of several hundred meters was hoisted from the broken lone mountain.

During this period, there were cases where big guys were taken away without a sound, and there were also cases where they were successfully packed away after fierce fighting broke out;

There are those who were transported away from areas where there was no life left, and there are also individuals who were taken away after being driven out from the periphery of the city;

During this series of actions, what left the deepest impression on Alena was what happened in the former capital of the Kingdom of Rhine, now the holy place of the Church of the Mother Earth;

When the angel came and took out the huge Rhine Goddess from the solitary mountain outside the Holy Land under the eyes of the many Rhine believers of the Earth Mother God, and took away the huge Rhine god, the complex expressions in their eyes

The mood can be described as "pupil earthquake", which made Alena feel funny, but also involuntarily felt sad for them.

Likewise, the thirteen near-god individuals in the Far East were no different, and the former people and believers also showed various extremely complex emotions;

But unlike the "silent capture" of the Rhine near gods and the various wild near gods, when these thirteen near gods were captured, eight battles took place in a row, turning a large area of ​​the Far Eastern Region into lava.

ocean.

While observing, Alena had a vague feeling that these near gods in the Far East seemed to be more crazy and more sensitive, which made it relatively easy for them to break out of the seal and be captured relatively easily;

Of course, in the end, it was only 'relatively easy'. In order to defeat them and capture them without dying, the Republic indeed made great efforts and paid a high price.

And just as Alena savored and thought about the successive battles between gods, the fourth act of the short film gradually unfolded

What this scene shows seems to be the Republic's handling of 'Beast King Level' and 'Near God Level' monsters, and things seem to be going very smoothly?

The production process of the 'Beast King Level Mother Tree' is already an extremely mature craft, so it only took a short period of time. After deducting the 43 trees stranded on the track, there were a total of 400 more trees in the Black Forest.

Extremely tall mother tree;

Moreover, the short film also shows some technological advancements

For example, the number of elves that can be cultivated by a unit dose of high-energy cell fluid has increased exponentially during this period due to the application of many technologies;

For another example, the enhancement of the 'defense breaking' and 'continuing damage' technologies allowed the Republic to squeeze out a larger amount of high-energy cell fluid from the 'Beast King' of the same size;

For another example, the nutrient absorption capacity and efficiency of the mother tree have also been expanded exponentially here.

And when these three are superimposed on each other and influence each other, the elf incremental expansion plan has achieved immediate results.

For example, the "production" of a beast king as big as a cave wolf used to be about 20,000/10 years, but in the short film, due to the overlap of multiple technologies, it was increased to 50,000/10 years.

degree of control;

The output of king beasts as big as advanced salamanders has also increased from 80,000/decade in the past to about 200,000/decade.

Taking into account the number of '400', and taking into account the difference in tonnage among the same 'Beast King's', these Beast Kings locked in the mother tree have contributed a total of 60 million per ten years to the increase of elves.

On the other hand, these technologies were also applied to the creation of the 'near-god-level mother tree', imprisoning all 48 ultra-high-level life forms in the even larger mother tree;

Although the ultra-high-level life forms are far rougher and thicker than the 'King of Beasts', the 'knives' that the Republic possesses today are not the same as in the past.

For example, a dream that has been expanded to 12 levels provides more room for change;

For another example, the fusion of the belief in creatures and the power of magic has created more targeted powers such as 'holy light', 'corrosion of evil thoughts', and 'perception shielding';

As a result, Jinshen's defenses were broken more efficiently, and wounds were formed that were endless and could not be rapidly proliferated, and eventually became the 'inner core' of each mother tree;

At the same time, relying on their larger size and relatively more efficient "void energy" conversion ability, they have formed a "production capacity" of 40 million/ten years with only 48 heads;

After it was combined with the former 'Beast Queen Mother Tree', it instantly raised the increase in the number of elves to the terrifying level of 100 million/ten years and 20,000/day;

Therefore, the last picture of this scene is the excitement and jubilation across the entire Republic.

In the following scenes, in order to supply the number of citizens who are about to increase dramatically, the parliament is busy formulating new policies, the executive government is busy implementing new policies, and many other different functions such as the 'Department of Law', the 'Citizens' Assembly', etc.

Agencies are also busy day and night in their respective related fields;

During this time, in order to supply the demand for products that are destined to surge in the future, a large number of totem factories are being planned and established everywhere.

As a result, fully automated production workshops of different sizes are scattered throughout the Black Forest. Mining sites are deployed deep under the sea. Others include farms, pastures, and even entire new cities that have sprung up.

Standing in succession like that.

In order to meet the needs of education and other aspects, the Virtual Realm Project has gradually taken shape after undergoing project establishment, planning, construction and other steps. After countless tests by a large number of aliens, natives, intelligent and non-intelligent life forms,

Eventually it became a 'space' for the little elves to grow up, and it also became a meeting place for the big elves who were thousands of miles apart.

Undoubtedly, this is a decade of large-scale production and construction, and the results are absolutely obvious.

~~~~~~~~~

When watching the series of short films here, Alena once again felt the shock of "overlooking the mother planet" level, the cities rising from the ground, the mother trees standing tall like mountains and walls, and the mother trees standing tall like mountains and walls.

The orderliness of a totem factory all formed like threads, yet merged into waves to move and shock;

'Is this our civilization and the power of elves?'

She, and the other elves around her, thought at this moment

But the short film here still continues, and the situation revealed later does not seem to be as prosperous as before.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Southern Territory, which belongs directly to the elves, has gone through a large-scale development and production cycle in the first and second decades, and the roots of the mother trees, cities, and industrial chains have spread to

an extremely large scope;

But starting from the third decade, the situation has undergone some bad changes.

What is displayed on the light curtain at this moment is a scene where deacons, wizards, and scholars have received a certain report and went to a forest to conduct an inspection together;

In the center of the picture is a thousand-meter-high 'near-god-level mother tree' that almost breaks through the 'monitor'. In the forest within a thousand meters around it, one can clearly see large areas of dead trees, while the remaining flowers, plants and shrubs

Not even a bit of competitiveness has completely faded away, and not even a single weed can be seen on the ground.

After that, the scenes continued to change, and one after another the same or similar scenes appeared one after another, and prayers about "reducing food production" from various sects in the northern continent were also heard here.

Therefore, the Republic carried out a soil fertility measurement within the Black Forest and the Northern Continent, as well as a global climate survey, with some vague speculations.

And the huge price hidden behind the terrifying increase has finally gradually surfaced.
