People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Small countries like Shelag can afford to "buy rather than build" because their size is simply insufficient to build a complete industrial system. However, for large countries like Yan, Victoria, and Ursus, "buying rather than building" is not a good idea. It would be tantamount to handing over a field that concerns their core national interests to outsiders, and these outsiders would be completely beyond their control.

If the risks associated with this technology outweigh its benefits, then the likelihood of other land-based nations accepting it is very low.

If the major land powers refuse to use this risky technology, what use is it for Ernst to acquire it?

Therefore, Ernst has been deliberating over the double-edged sword of Argonaut technology, waiting and making no decision on whether to use it or not.

And now, the "wait and see" party has won a great victory!

【Heaven's Pivot】gave him a very good new idea!

Ernst found Kal'tsit, who was in the Yan Kingdom exhibition hall, and explained his thoughts.

"If the initial Originium could activate the Heavenly Pivot, then Kal'tsit, do you think we have a way to create more Originium that can activate the Heavenly Pivot's communication capabilities? Ideally, these Originium should also be externally controllable, achieving the same seamless connection and disconnection effect as terminal communication?"

Kal'tsit: "

To be honest, Kal'tsit was a little confused when Ernst pulled her over.

He was originally following Sui and Zhenlong to prevent any accidents from happening when the two were alone.

Sui has now transformed herself into a small, round jade pendant, remaining silent most of the time and gazing daily in Ernst's direction, somewhat resembling a "sealed artifact" from a fantasy novel. The true dragon, fearless as ever, not only openly participated in the World's Fair but even dared to come to Rhodes Island and take Sui with him.

Kal'tsit truly admired the godlike courage of those two. Neither of you is a coward!

When Ernst caught her, pulled her aside, and told her his thoughts, she was even more bewildered.

I must admit, Sir Ernst, you are much bolder!

After hesitating for a long time, she even asked with a bit of self-doubt:

"This 0 yuan?" Jiu Yi asked, her voice trembling. "Is this feasible?"

Ernst rolled his eyes at her, looking utterly speechless.

"I'm asking you a question. Why are you turning around and asking me the same one?"

Kelsey opened her mouth.

Ernst asked her?

Not to be modest, but aren't you overestimating me? Do you really think I know much more about the Heavenly Pivot than you do?

Lord Ed, you don't get along well with me, but you seem to get along well with the Prophet and the Priestess!

It's worth noting that the prophet publicly criticized Ed, saying the plan was destined to be futile. Although, as the project's overall leader, the prophet's intention in saying this was entirely to prevent humanity's dwindling resources from being wasted, his words were undeniably hurtful.

Sometimes, what's truly despairing isn't the lack of hope ahead, but rather the fact that when you know there's no hope, yet you still strive to fight until you have no regrets, your teammates don't understand you at all, and even think you're just throwing the game.

Kal'tsit wanted to complain, but she couldn't say it.

Suppressing her anger, Kal'tsit reluctantly analyzed the situation seriously:

"Theoretically speaking, it should be possible."

"If the activation of the [Heavenly Pivot] is indeed the pulsation of [Originium], then theoretically, regardless of what kind of Originium it is, it should have a similar function."

"Although the original Originium was special, it was still part of the entire Originium system."

The Prophet and Precyth did a perfect job in this regard.

Undeniably, through the disassembly and study of natural amber, they successfully replicated artificial amber and found a method to continuously multiply it, creating an internalized universe that stores human information. This achievement is sufficient proof of their genius.

The properties of [Artificial Amber 0] are the same as those of [The Original Originium], and in fact, it was predicted that 3 trillion [originates] would appear earlier.

Prestis can appear in any corner of Terra using any Originium, and can release the information stored in the entire internalized universe using any Originium. Therefore, she is the "Mother of Originium" and is the undisputed creator.

In contrast to her, Ernst, being a "natural amber," cannot use Originium Arts through imitation Originium. She can only activate the power of Originium when she comes into contact with the "recast chocolate," which is the three original Originium.

In some ways, Ernst's control over the original Originium was even greater than that of Precyth, because it was part of him.

Without possessing the original Originium, Ernst had virtually no ability to interfere with it; Precys was truly the creator of Originium.

If we follow this logic, Ernst's idea of ​​using ordinary Originium to transfer Paradise Point and achieve cross-regional communication is technically feasible!

"only"

Kal'tsit said slowly,

"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this kind of research."

"That's right. This matter involves Originium. I guess only Precyth, the Doctor, and I can handle it."

Ernst had a headache.

The doctor has amnesia and knows nothing about technology. Does this mean he'll have to bother Precyth again?

But Kal'tsit shook her head:

"No, Lord Ernst, you have overlooked one point."

"The real difficulty in achieving technological breakthroughs doesn't actually lie in Originium."

"You should try to reverse your thinking."

Ernst frowned.

How about reversing your thinking?

The appearance and power of the first Originium will attract the attention of the Heavenly Pivot, allowing it to utilize its computing power and begin ultra-long-distance communication.

If we reverse our thinking a bit, we can find the following QQ groups:

Ernst couldn't help but exclaim "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something:

"You mean, start with the Heavenly Pivot?"

Kal'tsit smiled and nodded. From her long-lost air of strategic brilliance, it was clear that Ernst's "Oh—" made her incredibly proud.

However, considering that she had indeed put in a lot of effort this time, Ernst didn't mind letting her have a rare treat.

The Cat King has a cat guide!

Ernst chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Perhaps because he has collected more and more information about his past life, Ernst now subconsciously focuses his attention on Originium, hoping to find a breakthrough from this thing that he knows best yet is most unfamiliar with.

But he forgot that each of the survival plans has its own unique value, and some even contain elements of the [Preserver Plan]!

If we reverse our thinking and look at it from a different perspective, it's like a bamboo pole trying to pass through a doorway:

Ordinary people would think that if they can't get through horizontally, they'll try vertically; if they can't get through vertically, they'll try diagonally; and if they can't get through diagonally, they'll probably have to saw off a part of the bamboo pole and go in in sections.

But let's look at it from another angle: why can't we widen the door a bit?

Similarly, if the entry threshold for Heaven's Pivot could be widened and the signals it accepts could be restricted in some way, wouldn't that be much simpler than spending time and effort to bridge the gap between artificial and natural amber?

Some people might think, how is that possible?

At least Originium has Prisus's help, but Ed, the person in charge of Heaven's Pivot, may have already passed away. Who can change its settings?

Well, that's not necessarily true!

Don't forget, Ensti is a "Saint," one of the default "Authorized Persons" of Heaven's Pivot.

If Ernst wasn't mistaken, the reason it suddenly bestowed the title of saint upon Felin, a nobody without a halo or wings, was most likely because Ed had left some kind of backup plan within the Heavenly Pivot, recognizing his identity the moment he first came into contact with it.

The greeting "Hello World!" was an unspoken conversation between the two, spanning thousands of years.

The comforting words, "Whatever choice you make, I respect it," were probably Ed's sincere words of solace to himself, who might have been deep in despair at that moment.

His own efforts were not recognized, and his painstakingly crafted "Heaven's Pivot" did not yield the desired result. However, he was willing to acknowledge his ancestors ten thousand years later and pass on his courage to fight to the death in the face of adversity, along with his "Heaven's Pivot," through this "highest authority."

What will send Ernst to heaven is Ed's life's work!

Others may not be able to change it, but Ernst might really have the ability to drastically alter the pivot of heaven!

Chapter 1005 Time Sequence, Come Out and Take Your Beating!

Lateran, at the World's Fair, in the Kjerag Pavilion.

Actually, there's not much to exhibit in Kjerag.

The theme of this World's Fair is "War and Peace." Even Lateran, regardless of how many wars it has fought, has at least participated in "armed mediation," commonly known as mediating disputes.

But Sherag really didn't.

The biggest conflict that ever broke out in Shelag was probably the one in the myth that led to the hanging of the "Snow Mountain Tyrant," but let's not even talk about how true that legend is; it can hardly be considered a war.

War and peace, in Shelag, only peace remains.

Vina went to great lengths to make Kjerag feel somewhat involved. She brought a bunch of old items from the Perroch family, found a few talkative people at the Blanto family to act as introducers, and finally got Enciodis to cobble together a few weapons that had been discarded and were gathering dust after the Mountain Snow Demons disbanded. In the end, she added a few large stones, at least from last week, which were a friendly gift from the Manju Academy, to fill Kjerag's rather empty exhibition hall.

If the Victoria Search: 8...5 Lu Qing'er Exhibition Hall is 100% gold, then Xielag's purity is only 1%. The purity is too low, it's just there to make up the numbers!

She even regretted not telling the Pope earlier not to arrange such a large exhibition hall for Sherag, but to choose a smaller one. At least it would look quite substantial. The current size is the same as Victoria and Ursus, but if you walk in, you might think you've walked into a rest area square!

However, it turns out that sometimes, the intended use of a place can be vastly different from its actual purpose.

For example, basketball courts are often used by elderly women for square dancing, and reservoirs are often regarded as a holy place for anglers. The spaciousness of the Sherrag exhibition hall actually gives more people room to squeeze in.

Yes, the Sherag exhibition hall was packed with people, incredibly packed! So packed that as soon as Vina stretched out her hand, a thousand-armed Guanyin was immediately dispatched from the opposite side!

After barely managing to deal with a few dignitaries she absolutely had to meet, Vina quickly retreated to the staff lounge, where she saw Ernst and Andorn sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

She paused, then instinctively asked:

"When did you come?"

Ernst and Andorn exchanged a glance and replied in unison:

"Thank you."

They said nothing, yet they said everything.

Vina rolled her eyes in exasperation.

She said, "Why are there so many people in the Scherrager exhibition hall? It turns out they're all here because of Ernst."

The snow leopard was quick and adept at using stealth techniques; he slipped into the staff break room without her even noticing. She, completely unaware, was outside helping to fend off a wave of people following him.

"Do you have something important to discuss?"

Vina asked a question.

Ernst nodded.

Vina shrugged knowingly:

"Then I'll go out and handle it, but Ernst, remember to make it up to me later."

Ling Ernst grinned: "What compensation?"

Vina said nothing, gave Ernst a meaningful look, picked up Ernst's cup from the table, took a sip, nodded at him, turned and pushed the door open to leave.

Ernst hesitated, unable to speak. Meanwhile, Andorn across from him revealed a mocking smile:

"Mr. Ernst and Miss Vina have such a good relationship."

Luenster glared at him, but did not refute him.

Forget it, forget it.

Although Ernst felt a little embarrassed by Vina's direct advances, he certainly wouldn't say he was disgusted.

Since he doesn't dislike her, it's simply a matter of compliance or non-compliance. And he's likely powerless to resist Vina.

Let's talk about it when we get back!

He coughed, forcefully steer the conversation back on track:

"Let's get back to the main topic, Andorn."

What exactly did you see that time?

The "that time" that Ernst mentioned so seriously refers to the time when Andorn first came into contact with [Timeline] and subsequently ambushed Remian's squad.

What he is doing now, though seemingly complicated, is actually quite complex—he is communicating with each of the Saints (Authorized Ones) chosen by the [Heavenly Pivot] and screening them.

He wanted to try to use the [Heavenly Pivot] as a transit point to achieve cross-regional communication in Terra, and in this process, the other selected privileged individuals became particularly important.

Theoretically speaking, these people are capable of communicating with the Heavenly Pivot and even issuing orders. In other words, if this communication system is truly established in the future, the existence of this group of people will be a major source of instability.

Because of their authority, they can interfere with the Heavenly Pivot, understand the content of communications, and even distort the messages transmitted by the Heavenly Pivot. While the communication system certainly needs maintainers, Ivangelista XI and Ernst are sufficient. Any more, especially individuals like Federico and Arturo who are little known or even have a bad reputation in the nations, would make the system unreliable.

For example, who knows what crazy things someone like Arturo would do if he knew the role of the Heavenly Pivot?

Ernst went through the list one by one, starting with Andorn, then Federico, and next was Arturo, who was currently fulfilling his saintly duties in prison. If he deemed them unqualified, then whether he killed them or not, he would at least find a way to get Heaven's Pivot to revoke their privileges.
