Chapter 173 New practice system: scientists
On the high platform.
Geng Tianhua, who killed the goddess, lowered his head and said to Xie Shen and others: "Quick, go back to the house and pack your things."
"This village can no longer stay."
"We have to leave before dark."
Are you about to run away?
Xie Shen said in confusion: "It shouldn't be necessary to run away, right? With the high-tech equipment you just used, if you say one thing in the village, who dares to say two?"
Father Geng Tianhua spoke very quickly: "I am not worried about the people in the village, but worried about pollution."
"Pollution?" Xie Shen asked confused when he heard this.
Geng Tianhua explained: "The two high-tech equipment I just used are powered by 'endless energy'."
"Equipment made with endless energy is very powerful."
“But at the same time, this type of equipment also has great side effects.”
"That means it will cause serious pollution after use."
After hearing the word pollution, Xie Shen immediately thought of unspeakable creatures.
He asked curiously: "So what exactly is the pollution you are talking about?"
Geng Tianhua did not rush to explain. He just waved his hand in the direction of home and motioned Xie Shen and others to go to their residence.
On the road.
He replied as he walked: "People who are polluted by endless energy will spontaneously gather together and build a building called a 'private school'."
ah?
After hearing this, Xie Shen looked strange and said: "What happens next?"
Geng Tianhua said: "Then, all the polluted people will stay in private schools and study hard to learn everything they can in this world. Because there is never enough new knowledge to learn, these people I will keep learning like this.”
"Until death?" Xie Shen continued.
"No." Geng Tianhua said: "People who stay in private schools will not die, so they will continue to study forever."
This is a bit scary to think about.
Xie Shen thought for a while and then asked: "So those people have been polluted and their cognition has been changed? Will they get great pleasure from learning?"
"No." Geng Tianhua shook his head and said, "Pollution only amplifies those people's thirst for knowledge."
"Once they stop learning, those people's consciousness will be immediately engulfed by the endless desire for knowledge."
"At that time, those people will feel as uncomfortable as being unable to find food when they are hungry, unable to find water to drink when they are thirsty, and unable to sleep when they are sleepy."
“That’s why they have to keep studying.”
Xie Shen understood what Geng Tianhua wanted to express.
He followed what the other party said: "So those polluted people will feel pain whether they study or not, but the pain is more intense when they don't study, so they have to keep studying?"
"Yeah." Geng Tianhua responded: "That's what it means."
"So when pollution comes, remember to stay away."
"Otherwise you will feel worse than death"
The village where the original owner Geng Huan lived did not occupy a large area.
While Xie Shen was talking with Geng Tianhua, the group had returned to their residence.
But Geng Tianhua took out a large bag of dry food wrapped in oil and linen paper from under the floor tiles of the house.
Except for food.
Xie Shen and others also brought their own clothes and a small amount of drinking water.
After making all these preparations, the four people hurriedly left the village.
——Actually, Xie Shen and the other four were not the only ones who left the village at night.
After witnessing Geng Tianhua using high-tech equipment, the other villagers also packed up and fled from the village one after another.
While walking, these people would cast hateful glances at Xie Shen and his party from time to time.
But maybe he was afraid of the high-tech equipment that Geng Tianhua possessed.
These villagers were filled with hatred, but no one dared to make a move against Xie Shen and the others.
Not long after.
After everyone left the village one after another, Xie Shen only heard a burst of alarm bells ringing in the village behind him.
Geng Tianhua explained at the right time: "The alarm bell is the source of pollution."
"For a long time afterwards, alarm bells will ring from time to time in the village."
"The closer people are to the alarm sound, the more likely they are to be contaminated."
"Then this kind of alarm bell that rings from time to time may last for a year or two."
"Even longer."
"The village cannot be repopulated until it is confirmed that the alarm bells will no longer ring."
Since leaving the earth.
In the past few years, Xie Shen has visited many different planets through interstellar voyages and the Butterfly Dream Technique.
And without exception.
The planets he has visited all have varying degrees of pollution, large and small.
Some of these contaminations are transmitted through entities.
For example, the bugs on the Phantom Earth Planet.
Some are spread through special phenomena.
For example, the incident where all humans on the Quiet Morning Star were unable to sleep.
Although pollution comes in many forms.
But this was the first time Xie Shen had seen this kind of pollution spread through alarm bells and sounds.
Walking room.
The eldest sister Geng Tao asked her father Geng Tianhua: "By the way, where is my mother? Why didn't she follow me when I left the village?"
Geng Tianhua explained: "I have said hello to her before."
"Once something happens to me, she will go directly to Gu Qingcheng to seek refuge with her family." "As for you."
Geng Tianhua added: "You are not yet in your prime, you are all just children."
"Even if something happens to me, the people in the village won't do anything to you."
"So when your mother left, she didn't take you with her."
Perhaps he was worried about being plotted by someone with ulterior motives in the village.
On the way to escape, Geng Tianhua had been deliberately avoiding people in his village and walking on uninhabited roads.
Because when everyone fled, it was already approaching evening.
So the group hadn't walked long before the sky gradually darkened.
See the night is coming.
Geng Tianhua found a corner near a rock with two sides against the wall, and took Xie Shen and others to set up camp.
After lighting the bonfire, he said to Xie Shen and his younger brother Geng Yizhi: "You two boys are leaving the village for the first time. There are some things I have to tell you in advance."
"You must remember it."
He emphasized: "After nightfall, no matter what you see or hear, you must not leave the camp."
As he said that, Geng Tianhua suddenly took out a palm-sized white lantern from the bag on his shoulder.
In front of Xie Shen and others, he held the white lantern and twisted it up and down, as if he was opening the cap of a bottle of water.
The next second.
Along with its movements, the lantern was seen to release dazzling light on its own.
Geng Tianhua said to everyone: "Have you seen clearly? How to use this lantern"
"The firewood we just picked up is definitely not enough to burn for one night."
"If all the firewood is burned out and the bonfire is about to go out, just light this lantern."
"Anyway, we must ensure that there is light all night long in the camp."
"Do you understand?"
Among the crowd.
After hearing this, Xie Shen asked curiously: "Is this lantern in your hand also made of that kind of endless energy?"
"That's right." Geng Tianhua nodded and responded, "But you don't have to worry."
"Not all items made with endless energy will cause pollution."
"White lanterns like this, which almost all elementary school-level scientists can make, will produce almost no pollution."
"Elementary school-level scientist?" Xie Shen asked after hearing this.
Geng Tianhua explained: "Just like the priests of the church, we scientists are also divided into different levels."
"Scientists who have just started are called elementary school level."
"Also known as entry-level."
"Scientists like this can make very few items, and they don't have much knowledge."
"Further up are junior and intermediate scientists, referred to as junior scientists."
"Just like me, I am at this level."
"Junior scientists have been able to independently manufacture more complex equipment."
"Just like the miniature laser gun I used in the village before."
"Of course."
Geng Tianhua added: "Although I can make weapons like micro laser guns, they are limited in the number of times they can be used."
"Based on the knowledge I have, that kind of laser gun will be scrapped after being used only once."
"So at that time I only killed the goddess who came from the church to prevent her from running back and reporting the news."
Said.
He continued to introduce: "Then higher up, there are high school-level and university-level scientists, who are referred to as senior scientists and great scientists respectively."
"When you reach the level of a great scientist, as long as you have enough materials."
"Then if there are blueprints, almost all equipment can be manufactured."
Geng Tianhua gave an example: "Just like the equipment I used in the village before, which can form a position shield."
"That's what I want from a great scientist."
"That equipment can be embedded in the human body and has a total use limit of three times."
——In Xie Shen's view, the stance shield can at least block a blow from a Nascent Soul monk.
Therefore, although the stance shield has a limit on the number of times it can be used, it can be regarded as an out-and-out treasure.
It seems like this.
Scientists who have reached university level are relatively capable.
With various high-tech equipment prepared in advance, they might be able to barely compete with the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
Xie Shen was very curious about the power system of 'scientists'.
He asked: "What about going up further? Is this the end of the road for great scientists?"
Geng Tianhua smiled and said: "Science has no end, just like the knowledge in the world can never be learned."
"After the great scientists, there are the legendary graduate-level scientists."
“Throughout the ages, very few people’s knowledge has reached that level.”
"It can be said that it is rare to meet someone in a thousand years."
"So I didn't mention it on purpose just now."
——The reason why Xie Shen wanted to ask the scientists again and again was because the original owner Geng Huan left his last wish before his death, which was to become a scientist like his father Geng Tianhua.
Even surpassing his father.
In view of this, Xie Shen took the opportunity to suggest to Geng Tianhua: "So what should I do to become a scientist?"
