第374章 决策与计划
【还是再看看吧，以我们正在渗透的那个团伙为窗口，想办法多了解一下外界的具体状况后再做决定。】
面对尚还不能确定的诸多情报，共和国在商议过后得出了这样一种结论，决定暂不出现在大河系视野中成为文明席位，而是以‘优秀人造人’的面貌先登上星河舞台.

与此同时，精灵们还打算利用信息在大距离尺度下的自然传递低效性，趁着己方与繁华带有着足够漫长的时间窗口，在保证隐蔽性的同时将足迹再蔓延的更远一些；

如此，即便将来会面对不得不加入的状况时，也能为共和国争取到一个更好的开局。
除此之外，其实还有一个或许稍显邪恶的想法，在众多元老们的脑海中近乎于同时产生.

包括涅斯塔在内的、许多有着更丰富经历的‘老壮者’想到，是否能让自身势力范围内现存的那些教派与城邦势力，在改头换面后以单独文明的形式加入理事会？

如果只保留神明层面上的精神控制，而消除他们在明面上与共和国的所有直接或间接关联，再想办法将之输送到与精灵完全不比邻的极端遥远星域，并让这些势力以单独文明的形式展现在大河系视野当中，或许能在将来起到些意想不到的作用也说不定？

当然，实现该操作难度也是显而易见.

精灵们暂时还不清楚其它‘荒蛮带’处于何方，也不了解沿途中存在有何许的文明势力，同样也不清楚它们各自所掌控区域的具体范围，更不明白大河系诸文明对星域的监视能力达到了什么样的程度；

所以很现实的，交通方面便是他们所面临的第一个困境，包括地点选择、前往方式、途中隐蔽性等在内的一系列事宜，对于生活在荒蛮的乡下精灵来说没有一个是好解决的问题；
此外，为了不把其它文明的视线吸引至己方所在星域中，那投送时的距离跨度就必然要尽可能的远一些，现有的折跃技术虽然很强大、但过程中的时间因素也是不得不考虑的事项。
还有文化、知识、技术等方面同样也存在着很多问题，大陆诸族文明于成型后在母星共同生存了何止数千上万年，而精灵出世后所赋予他们的影响也是极端深入且又广泛的；
前者的影响自是不必多提，即便诸教派对麾下信众进行过很深入的文化重塑，但事实上也还是在原有的根基上完成的删删改改，因而被重塑的只是某种程度的表观罢了；
后者、也即是来自精灵的影响虽然相对短暂，但却是种犹如烈焰般的迅猛深重，像是神域、神明、天使、圣职者、神恩阵列、神恩语这等等的概念与实质，在极大改变了他们传统文化与生活状态的同时、又加深了彼此间更多的文化与技术同质性；

想必任谁都不会去忽略那显而易见的共生关系，并因此而致使某些文明或个体将视野投注于‘神域’，从而招致某些意料之外的状况也非是不可能。
最后，则是或许更本质些的遗传因子问题.

由母星所孕育而出的诸多生物，虽然在如今看来于模样上显得千奇百怪，但它们之间的共祖演化关系却是切实存在的，即便是面目全非的精灵族群也是如此，乃至于还能在渺小的地底蠕虫身上都寻到他们‘亲缘’；

这一点，其实早在破解诸族遗传密码时就已经被明确，亦是能使基因模组相对容易生效于新生族胞的重要原因之一。
其余母星文明当然也是如此，某些种属关系极近者甚至能检测出超过99%的相似性，剩下超过95%、超过90%的也屡见不鲜；
也即是说，但凡理事会与大河系诸方文明的脑子不傻，就不大可能去忽略这种显而易见的同源关系，并像是冤大头似的先后拿出百多个文明席位提供给它们，甚至还赐予其各自一定的发展空间

对此，在屏蔽了自己的‘相关记忆’后精灵元老们只从理事会与有席位文明的立场出发，进行了一番极有针对性的换位思考；

而其结果，便是他们被‘不相信’、‘有阴谋’、‘神域在哪里’、‘高维生物？’等等想法充斥了脑海；
其中所包含着的警惕与贪婪，足以促使换位思考的精灵从‘新文明’入手，一路循着踪迹去谋求这种现象的来源

也因此这项计划便被部分的搁置，以免最后落着个弄巧成拙的结局。
而之所以只是被‘部分的搁置’，则是因为其中的某些项目是现有条件下可以被进行的，尤其是文化、语言、技术等方面的重塑实验对国度来说并不算困难；

于是议会做出了相关的先期计划，准备专门建造一个超大型的、专用的虚拟世界智脑，用相对最真实的物质世界模拟、加上尽可能快的时间跨度，来展开一场从茹毛饮血到文明化生、乃至更未来阶段的模拟试验。
此议的目的，是想看能否在如此情况下从无到有的塑造文明，且必须是那种全新的‘自演化文明’；

而再往后，则还要想办法以一种不违和但有深刻影响的方式，将神明的概念与相应力量加塞进其演化过程；

在有必要的情况下，还可以在现实世界改造出个把星球级别的试验场，以展开相应的真实实验.

此外，现存的潜伏窗口也因这等等计划而变的更为弥足珍贵起来，处于最前线的潜伏者们需要以那里为起点，对着整个大河系展开诸多层面上的渗透。
除了政策、文明势力、军事水平等方面的情报是被共和国所需要的之外，其余像是星图、技术方向与现状、生物种类与基因等等信息，对于精灵们而言同样也极为重要；

总而言之，他们就是想要借此宝地一用，并在隐蔽自身的同时去了解更多的情况.

比如，通用语所表述的‘碳基生命’是传说中宇宙的最普遍选择，那同属于‘碳基’的各方文明生物之间又具有多少的近似性，他们是否也通过母星生物这般的形式来表达遗传信息？
这很重要，因为相关情报会直接影响后续所需的改造程度，从而加快或拖慢‘新文明计划’中与身躯相关的那部分项目。
再比如，其它非碳基生物是被什么样的环境所孕育的，其身躯与智慧又是以什么样的形态存在且被维系的，它们与四卫三上的‘伪冰生命’又有何种不同？

而这方面的信息，固然能给‘新文明计划’带来更充裕的选择与适配性，但同样也和学者们的求知欲密切相关；
好奇的群体其实还有战士，他们则是想知道那些天生就是等离子态、液态、金属态、以及其余土石结晶等形态的生物，都是些什么样的东西、能否给自己带些修行上的帮助。
~~~~~

会议结束后，涅斯塔作为前线躯体的精神主导者，单独向艾萨拉进行了对现状的补充说明.

“所谓‘漆黑中的强壮者集团’的确不是什么正经势力，兽王所传递的‘漆黑’代表了阴暗、隐蔽、潜伏、深沉等含义，而‘强壮者’则也有着霸道、掠夺、骄傲、执掌弱者命运等情绪表征；”
“再根据对其浅层网络的探索，结合精灵语做一个信达雅的翻译的话，那也能称它们为‘阴霸集团’.”
“噗！哈哈阴霸集团.这就是你的信达雅？”
“喂喂我说正事儿呢，静静听着别插嘴行不？”
“行，您继续说~”
“总而言之这就是一伙犯罪集团，主营致瘾性药物、保护动物、以及智慧种族的贩卖，偶尔还会改头换面去做星际强盗、星际佣兵，同时还经营着些不符合河系律法的违规、甚至犯罪娱乐场所。”
“大河系理事会对它们开出了10亿‘泯灭币’的悬赏，但至今都没谁搞清楚它们基地的位置、又有几个基地，所以也没能拿到悬赏；”
“而我们现在正潜伏着的那里，应该就是其中一个综合性基地.所有前来的顾客都只能通过集团的私有渠道才能进入，并且绝对不被允许离开外层‘伪装带’，而且所有的外来者、乃至它们自己的大多数员工，甚至都不清楚这个基地的外在伪装是黑洞形式；”
“也即是说，我们这批被抓进去的人类是绝对会被处理的，只是还不清楚它们是打算洗去记忆、还是直接消灭我们的肉体。”
“那计划还能被进行下去吗？”
“可以的，我之前在生育方式和培养价值方面动了些手脚，即便它们要直接处理掉我们的身体，也绝对会在让我们生够了个体极限后再动手。”
“嗯，我明白了.按照你的计划，数量应该是很重要的因素吧？”
“对，基地里现有我们的近5000吨躯体，由于之前制造的时候在骨骼中压缩了大部分物质，所以短期内可以通过对这部分的展开来快速分裂，并借用它们的资源供应形成三千个亚成年人类个体；”
“在减少一部分的物质密度、并填充功能性铭文作为强度方面的辅助，那应该还能再继续扩展出3万个亚成年体；”
“更进一步的，让高阶施法者用少量细胞、尖端施法者用分子液来控制更多物质形成拟态之躯，那也可以在短期内获得数百万个人类个体。”
“但缺点在于容易暴露对吧？”艾萨拉点出了问题所在。
“对的，拟态之躯就相当于给细胞套了层物质外壳，即便我们模拟的再像也经不住仔细观察，暂时来说是不可能靠这个办法蒙混过关的；”
“倒是前一种办法会更隐蔽些，找些‘成长太快’等理由把物质密度和体重变化糊弄过去、平时再小心点把铭文隐藏在更深处，等需要配合它们做实验时就干脆全部消除掉，暂时来论也不致于会出现什么无法被遮掩的大纰漏。”
“但3万个体对于生物兵器而言还是有些太少了，即便能通过汲取它们的资源来增加我们自己的真实物质总量，并借此获得更多的细胞与分子液完成进一步的个体分裂；”
“但这暂时只能作为中远期的借壳发育手段而进行考虑，对于短期而言还是速度太慢、效率太低，无法达成我们现在所需要的效果。”
“嗯，这个我们是明白的.”
艾萨拉点头接言道，

“虽然利用外部势力的资源壮大自身也是应有之义，但按照现在的计划我们首先要坐实生物兵器的这一层身份，并借用它们的渠道以‘人造人商品’的形式被贩卖出去，在不暴露自身文明也暂不加入理事会的同时获得外界信息.说难听一点的话，就是要提升我们的‘商品价值’？”
“额还真有够难听的，但差不多也就是这个意思吧；”
涅斯塔笑了笑后补充道，
“所以，我们得想办法将更多尖端与高阶施法者的躯体送进去，但任何愿意前往的志愿者都不能带走自己的全部身体，必须在本部留下一部分作为退路。”
“这个我会安排的，有不少同辈或小辈的同胞其实都想要出去看看，但问题的关键是进入渠道、我们该怎么把这部分物质送进去？”
“这个我来解决，暂时来说三万个分裂名额也勉强够用了，在全部生够以前我会找到合适的办法。”
“那就行”艾萨拉应了一句后再又沉吟着说道，“但还有一件事我想再听听你的意见；”
“怎么了？”
“战斗兵器其实无所谓，但万一是被作为其它类型的商品呢？比如带有屈辱性、或者说让他们感受到了屈辱的那种是承受？是反抗？还是怎么样？”
听闻此言，涅斯塔倒是极为短暂的愣了愣神，因为他几乎都没有去考虑过这个问题.

‘充当商品被贩卖’的建议，是他基于文明的安全性与隐蔽性而提出的，并在这个层面上也得到了议会整体的认可；

但现在想来，这个计划对于第一线的参与者而言带有着很大的不确定性，鬼知道他们会遭遇什么样的顾客、会迎接什么样的恶趣味？
“这个么那我从现在就开始营造屈辱承受方面的种族特性吧，尽可能在佣兵、安保、战兵等方面表现的足够优秀，再刻意营造几次屈辱场景然后完成自爆反杀，让它们形成某种定式思维也就行了；”
“至于说将来碰到受不了的情况就尽管报复，我们要的只是‘优秀的功能性人造人’这一层身份并以此享誉星河而已，多一些类似于屈辱洁癖这样的毛病也是会被原谅的。”
“行吧，那你就试试看对了，别一个劲儿往群体性战斗方面钻营，大头兵又能接触到多少情报？”
“嗯？你的意思是”
“行动缜密的贴身护卫、安抚心灵的优秀伴侣、能保守秘密的忠实管家.这些不都是可以被拓展的好职业么，比星际战兵的接触面要更丰富吧？”
“似乎也的确是这样？行，那我就去试试看吧”
“涅斯塔？”
刚刚起身的他突然又被叫住，疑惑回头之际就看到艾萨拉的分身正翘着腿、颇为玩味的看着自己，并且话中有话的询问道，

“你准备怎么去扮演安抚心灵的优秀伴侣呢？”
好家伙，原来是在这儿等着呢.

“我身体里的几个家伙，似乎还对外星种挺感兴趣的.把他们分裂出来去争取一下？”

Chapter 374 Decision-making and planning

[Let’s take another look, use the gang we are infiltrating as a window, and try to find out more about the specific situation in the outside world before making a decision. 】

Faced with a lot of information that was still uncertain, the Republic came to such a conclusion after deliberation and decided not to appear as a civilized seat in the sight of the Great River System, but to first appear on the Galaxy stage as an 'excellent artificial human'

.

At the same time, the elves also plan to take advantage of the inefficiency of the natural transmission of information at large distances, and take advantage of the long enough time window between themselves and the prosperous zone to spread their footprints further while ensuring concealment;

In this way, even if we are forced to join in the future, we can get a better start for the Republic.

In addition to this, there is actually another, perhaps slightly evil, idea that emerged in the minds of many elders almost at the same time.

Including Nesta, many "old men" with richer experiences have thought about whether they can allow the existing sects and city-state forces within their own sphere of influence to join the council as a separate civilization after a change of appearance?

If only the mental control at the level of gods is retained, and all direct or indirect connections between them and the Republic are eliminated, then we can find a way to transport them to extremely distant star fields that are completely different from the elves, and let these forces operate independently

The form of civilization is displayed in the field of vision of the great river system, and maybe it can play some unexpected role in the future?

Of course, the difficulty of achieving this operation is also obvious.

The elves still don't know where the other "barbaric zones" are, nor do they know how many civilized forces exist along the way. They also don't know the specific scope of the areas they control, let alone the influence of the civilizations in the great river system on the star field.

What is the extent of surveillance capabilities?

So it is very realistic that transportation is the first dilemma they face. A series of matters including location selection, way of going, concealment on the way, etc., none of them are good for the elves living in the wild countryside.

solved problem;

In addition, in order not to attract the attention of other civilizations to your own star field, the distance span during delivery must be as far as possible. Although the existing warping technology is very powerful, the time factor in the process is also

Things that have to be considered.

There are also many problems in terms of culture, knowledge, technology, etc. The civilizations of the various races on the mainland have lived together on the mother planet for more than thousands of years after they were formed, and the influence given to them after the birth of the elves was also extremely profound and profound.

extensive;

There is no need to mention the influence of the former. Even if various sects have carried out in-depth cultural reshaping of their believers, in fact they have still been completed on the original foundation, so what has been reshaped is only to a certain extent.

It’s just appearance;

The latter, that is, the influence from the elves, although relatively short-lived, is as fast and profound as a raging flame, such as the concepts of divine realm, gods, angels, priests, array of divine grace, divine words of grace, etc.

In essence, while greatly changing their traditional culture and living conditions, it also deepened the cultural and technological homogeneity between them;

Presumably no one will ignore the obvious symbiotic relationship, and it is not impossible that some civilizations or individuals will focus their vision on the "god domain", leading to some unexpected situations.

Finally, there is the perhaps more essential issue of genetic factors.

Although many creatures bred from the mother star may seem strange in appearance today, the common ancestral evolutionary relationship between them is real. This is true even for the elves who have changed beyond recognition.

Their 'relatives' can be found in tiny underground worms;

This point has actually been clarified when the genetic codes of various races were cracked, and it is also one of the important reasons that makes it relatively easy for genetic modules to take effect on new race cells.

Of course, the same is true for other home star civilizations. Some species that are very closely related can even detect more than 99% similarity, and the remaining ones are more than 95% and more than 90% are not uncommon;

In other words, as long as the Council and the civilizations in the Great River System are not stupid, they are unlikely to ignore this obvious relationship of the same origin, and provide them with more than a hundred civilized seats as if they were taken advantage of.

, and even gave them a certain space for development.

In this regard, after blocking their own 'related memories', the elf elders only started from the standpoint of the council and the seated civilization, and conducted some very targeted empathy;

As a result, their minds were flooded with thoughts such as ‘don’t believe it’, ‘there is a conspiracy’, ‘where is the divine realm’, ‘high-dimensional creatures?’ and so on;

The vigilance and greed contained in it are enough to prompt the elves who think differently to start from the "new civilization" and follow the traces to find the source of this phenomenon.

Therefore, this plan was partially shelved to avoid a self-defeating ending.

The reason why it is only 'partially shelved' is because some of the projects can be carried out under existing conditions, especially the reshaping experiments in culture, language, technology, etc., which are not difficult for the country.

;

So the parliament made relevant advance plans to build a very large, dedicated virtual world intelligence brain, using the most realistic simulation of the material world and the fastest possible time span to start a game from eating hair and drinking blood to

The transformation of civilization, and even simulation experiments in future stages.

The purpose of this discussion is to see if civilization can be created from scratch under such circumstances, and it must be a brand new 'self-evolving civilization';

And then, we still have to find a way to insert the concept of gods and corresponding powers into its evolution process in a way that is not inconsistent but has a profound impact;

If necessary, a planet-level testing ground can be transformed in the real world to carry out corresponding real experiments.

In addition, the existing lurking windows have become even more precious because of these plans. The lurkers at the forefront need to use there as a starting point to penetrate the entire river system at many levels.

In addition to information on policies, civilizational forces, and military levels that are needed by the Republic, other information such as star maps, technical directions and current status, biological types and genes, etc. are also extremely important to the elves;

All in all, they just want to take advantage of this treasure land and learn more about the situation while hiding themselves.

For example, the 'carbon-based life' expressed in the common language is the most common choice in the legendary universe. How similar are the living beings of various civilizations that are also 'carbon-based'? Do they also pass through the life of their home planet?

general form to express genetic information?

This is important because the relevant information will directly affect the degree of subsequent transformation required, thereby speeding up or slowing down the body-related projects in the 'New Civilization Plan'.

For another example, what kind of environment are other non-carbon-based organisms bred in, what form do their bodies and intelligence exist and are maintained in, and how do they relate to the "pseudo-ice life" on the Moon?

Kind of different?

Although this information can bring more choices and adaptability to the ‘New Civilization Plan’, it is also closely related to scholars’ thirst for knowledge;

There are actually warriors among the curious group. They want to know what those creatures that are born in plasma, liquid, metal, and other forms of earth and stone crystals are like, and whether they can bring some spiritual benefits to themselves.

help.

~~~~~

After the meeting, Nesta, as the spiritual leader of the frontline body, gave a separate supplementary explanation of the current situation to Azshara.

"The so-called 'strong group in the darkness' is indeed not a serious force. The 'darkness' conveyed by the Beast King represents darkness, concealment, lurking, and depth, while the 'strong ones' also have the meaning of domineering, plundering, pride, and dominance.

Emotional representations such as the fate of the weak;”

"Based on the exploration of their shallow network and combined with the Elvish language to make an honest and elegant translation, we can also call them the 'Yinba Group'."

"Pfft! Haha Yinba Group. Is this your Xin Daya?"

"Hey, I'm talking about business, just listen quietly and don't interrupt, okay?"

"Okay, continue talking~"

"All in all, this is a group of criminal groups, mainly engaged in the trafficking of addictive drugs, animal protection, and intelligent races. Occasionally, they will change their appearance to become interstellar bandits and interstellar mercenaries. They also operate some businesses that do not comply with the laws of the river system.

Illegal and even criminal entertainment venues.”

"The Great River Council has issued a bounty of 1 billion 'annihilation coins' to them, but no one has figured out the location of their base so far, and there are several bases, so they have not been able to get the bounty;"

"And where we are lurking now should be one of the comprehensive bases. All customers who come can only enter through the group's private channels, and are absolutely not allowed to leave the outer 'camouflage zone', and all

Outsiders, and even most of their own employees, are not even aware that the base is disguised as a black hole;"

"In other words, our group of captured humans will definitely be dealt with, but it's not clear yet whether they intend to erase our memories or directly destroy our bodies."

"Can the plan still be carried out?"

"Yes, I have made some moves in the reproductive methods and cultivation values ​​before. Even if they want to directly deal with our bodies, they will definitely do it after we have given birth to enough of our individual limits."

"Well, I understand. According to your plan, quantity should be a very important factor, right?"

"Yes, we currently have nearly 5,000 tons of bodies in the base. Since most of the materials were compressed in the bones during manufacturing, we can quickly split them in the short term by unfolding them and borrow their resource supply to form three bodies.

Thousands of sub-adult human individuals;”

"After reducing part of the material density and filling in functional inscriptions as an aid in strength, it should be possible to continue to expand to 30,000 sub-adult bodies;"

"Furthermore, if high-level casters use a small number of cells, and advanced casters use molecular fluids to control more substances to form a mimic body, millions of human individuals can be obtained in a short period of time."

"But the disadvantage is that it's easy to be exposed, right?" Azshara pointed out the problem.

"Yes, the mimetic body is equivalent to putting a material shell on the cells. No matter how similar we simulate it, it cannot withstand careful observation. For the time being, it is impossible to get away with this method;"

"On the contrary, the former method is more subtle. You can find reasons such as 'growing too fast' to fool the changes in material density and weight. Usually, you can be more careful and hide the inscriptions deeper. When you need to cooperate with them for experiments, just hide them all."

If we eliminate it, for the time being, there won’t be any big mistakes that cannot be covered up.”

"But 30,000 individuals are still too few for biological weapons. Even if we can increase our own real material total by absorbing their resources, and thereby obtain more cells and molecular fluids to complete further individual division;

"

"But for the time being, it can only be considered as a means of backdoor development in the medium and long term. For the short term, it is still too slow and inefficient to achieve the results we need now."

"Well, we understand this."

Azshara nodded and continued,

"Although it is reasonable to use the resources of external forces to strengthen ourselves, according to the current plan, we must first establish the identity of biological weapons and use their channels to sell them in the form of 'artificial human commodities'.

To obtain information from the outside world without exposing our own civilization or joining the council for the time being. To put it more harshly, is it to increase our 'commodity value'?"

"Well, it sounds really ugly, but that's pretty much what it means;"

Nesta smiled and then added,

"So, we have to find a way to send more bodies of cutting-edge and high-level spellcasters in, but any volunteer who is willing to go can't take away all of his body, and must leave part of it in the headquarters as an escape route."

"I will arrange this. Many compatriots of my generation or younger generation actually want to go out and have a look, but the key to the problem is the access channel. How should we send this part of the material in?"

"I will solve this problem. For the time being, the 30,000 split quotas are barely enough. I will find a suitable way before all students are enough."

"That's fine," Azshara responded and then said thoughtfully, "But there is one more thing I want to hear your opinion on;"

"What's wrong?"

"Combat weapons actually don't matter, but what if they are used as other types of commodities? For example, they are humiliating, or the kind that makes them feel the humiliation. Is it acceptance? Is it resistance? Or what?"

After hearing this, Nesta was stunned for a very short time, because he had almost never considered this issue.

The suggestion of "being sold as a commodity" was put forward by him based on the safety and concealment of civilization, and was also recognized by the entire parliament at this level;

But now that I think about it, this plan carries a lot of uncertainty for the front-line participants. Who knows what kind of customers they will encounter and what kind of bad taste they will encounter?

"Well, then I will start to create the racial characteristics of humiliation tolerance from now on. I will try my best to be good enough in terms of mercenaries, security, soldiers, etc., and then deliberately create several humiliating scenes and then complete the self-destruction counter-attack, so that they can

It’s enough to form a certain fixed mindset;”

"As for retaliating if you encounter unbearable situations in the future, what we want is the status of 'excellent functional artificial human' and be famous in the galaxy. More problems like humiliating mysophobia will also be forgiven.

of."

"Okay, then you should give it a try. Don't focus on group battles. How much intelligence can the big-head soldiers have access to?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"A personal guard who acts meticulously, an excellent companion who soothes the soul, and a loyal butler who can keep secrets. Aren't these all good professions that can be expanded? They have more contacts than the space warriors, right?"

"That seems to be the case? Okay, then I'll give it a try."

"Niesta?"

He had just stood up and was suddenly stopped again. When he turned around in confusion, he saw Azshara's clone with her legs crossed, looking at him with amusement, and asked with something in mind,

"How are you going to play the role of an excellent companion who soothes your soul?"

Good guy, it turned out that I was waiting here.

"A few guys in my body seem to be quite interested in alien species. Split them out and fight for it?"
