In the year 713 of the Imperial Calendar, Zhang Jingyuan stood in front of a new but simple building, looking quietly into the distance, with Zhou Feixuan quietly accompanying him behind him; while Feng Xuezhi and Jiang Huilan were each busy with their own affairs.
It is now the second year since we came here; in more than a year, humans on Earth have completed their resettlement and have settled down in this galaxy. All things began to unfold in an orderly manner. Even a large number of robots were used to allow factories to complete the infrastructure construction in just one year. On the planet next to it, a huge city has also taken shape. The City of Miracles wants to create a miracle from every angle, a miracle that belongs to humans on earth.
The previous development of earth civilization has always discouraged the use of robots, but this is not absolute! Too much is not enough. The reason why the use of robots was not advocated at the beginning was to increase human independence and self-reliance; but now it is time to use robots.
Every time we look at the powerful technological power of the surrounding civilizations and countries, every human on earth feels sincerely nervous. Hundreds of years of peaceful development have not made mankind lose its determination to fight. Especially in the past hundred years, the birth of mecha and superpower competitions has been the pinnacle novel that has brought human blood and passion to its peak.
Gao Chengyang, Zhang Jingyuan's great disciple, is now at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage. He is just a few steps away from enlightenment and can enter the Void Return Stage. Of course, cultivation is full of uncertainties. Perhaps this enlightenment can be delayed for hundreds of years. . But even so, he is now considered the second master besides Zhang Jingyuan - it seems that he has always been like this. And now, Gao Chengyang is sitting in the City of Miracles.
The wind howled outside. The sky is filled with ice and snow. Because of the remoteness of this planet, the average temperature is only 2 degrees. In the past year, a space reflector has been installed in outer space, but in order not to destroy the original ecology, this reflector only illuminates the equatorial region.
Of course, this planet cannot always maintain its original ecology. Humans on earth will gradually improve (good? bad?) the environment to make it suitable for human survival, and through genetic technology, try to retain the original species. But this is a huge project. Even with current technology. It is expected to take ten years or more.
Since it is the City of Miracles, we did not choose to build it in the equatorial region during planning, but directly built it in the North Pole because of the temperature here. It’s over 80 degrees below zero! Certainly promotes such considerations. Also because of the land distribution problem in this world. Although it is frozen all year round. As a result, most of the ground is covered with thick ice, which is more than ten kilometers thick in some places. It is impossible to build a permanent city in such a place.
So I finally chose the Arctic. There is exposed land here, and it is a vast plateau area. Especially the low temperature here is a place that shows miracles. Low temperature is a harsh environment for any intelligent life currently known to humans on Earth. In such an environment, if protective measures are not careful, you may face death. No matter how advanced civilization is, at least for now, life itself is still fragile.
It was only at this time that Gao Chengyang lamented in his heart the greatness of his master. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had already established a people-oriented development strategy; too many civilizations in the Pearl Star Territory had neglected themselves because of their excessive emphasis on and pursuit of technology. Xu finally tasted the bitter pill. During the development of earth's civilization, it has never given up the pursuit of life itself. And this kind of strength itself is also the pursuit of will; strength in will cannot be shaped by technology. Most humans on earth today agree with the concept that technology can make life better; but a strong body is the guarantee of enjoying all this. And another concept is gradually taking shape, that is: the essence of life is self-improvement, not dependence! So technology can be used, but it cannot be completely relied on!
Self-improvement, such as cultivation, such as exercise; and relying on relationships, such as increasing life or strength through scientific and technological means. But the latter is too prone to problems, such as thinking. Without strong spiritual cultivation, there will be no will and no self-control, which will eventually lead to crime, even ideological violence, etc.
Excessive pursuit of power can only lead to one result, and that is: brainlessness! However, the practice of self-improvement can increase people's wisdom, mental strength, self-control, etc. This is the result of self-improvement; its principle has never been understandable by human technology, such as cultivation and the soul. Everyone has clearly determined that these things exist, but they cannot be explained scientifically. Maybe it will be in the future, but it still can't be explained now.
The cold wind howled, and the snowflakes on the ground that had been "processed" by the cold were like pieces of ice blades, flying in the strong wind; some icebergs exposed on the ground were already in the sky. And in such an environment, Gao Chengyang was wearing single clothes and Ling Feng was independent. Wearing a simple Taoist robe, slightly messy long hair, and a young face, many workers passing by here stopped. Everyone expressed emotion and gratitude in their hearts.
The civilization on earth has its own patron saints, and these patron saints are practitioners, and they are powerful practitioners. Every practitioner whose cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage or above will quietly disappear from public view. Maybe these people don't know Gao Chengyang, but standing proudly on an iceberg dozens of meters high in a single suit without any defense, letting the cold wind blow by, is enough to show that he is a master! At least the golden elixir stage.
Every day, in every different location, there are practitioners who take turns protecting the people doing these jobs. At more than 80 degrees below zero, even some robots cannot work; at such low temperatures, especially when there is moisture in the air, some machinery will be invaded and so on. It can be said that the current city is almost built with mechas and artificial intelligence.
But this city is very special. There are no high-rise buildings, but only large and small, round or flat blue glass sheds; some are thousands of meters high, covering more than ten kilometers of ground, and there is a complete The energy block production system can even produce standard energy blocks in small batches when energy is sufficient, with a size of 100 million cubic meters and a trillion kilowatt hours of electricity. One energy block is enough to last an ordinary habitable planet for one year. It would be a different matter if it were an industrial planet.
The smallest one is only a dozen meters tall. The 100-meter range mainly displays the living conditions of humans on earth, song and dance performances, audio-visual entertainment, etc. Culture, especially excellent culture, is the easiest way to win the favor of others. After research by humans on Earth, they believe that traditional classical literature and art and other forms are a good key for humans to enter this star field. Among them, the main ones are Chinese classical music, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, etc.
There is also a special glass shed, which is used to display super powers, mecha technology, etc., which are places to display personal abilities. After hundreds of years of exploration and evolution, humans on earth have unanimously agreed that spacecraft are indeed powerful, but the development of civilization has one characteristic: returning to nature!
The most advanced civilization. The focus will be on the technology and development of the human body itself. Rather than pure steel technology. What is the purpose of developing science and technology? In the final analysis, it is for human desires. Although this sounds unpleasant, it is the fact. Since it is for human desires, technology will eventually develop back to humans themselves. There is nothing wrong with that. for example. Gain powerful abilities, gain a long lifespan, easily conquer other civilizations, etc.
(*Off-topic: Many people are thinking about it. What should the future of mankind look like? Looking at history, especially the pursuit of ancient and modern times at home and abroad, Tianya believes that there are two directions, one is a powerful mechanical civilization, But this is a road to death - it is almost a consensus; external machinery is too powerful If reached, it will lead to the degeneration of human beings. There is another way, which is the path of superpowers, which can also be called becoming gods. Human beings apply various technologies directly to themselves, giving them strong power and long lifespan. . This is also one of the meanings of the original title of this book: "Half Immortal")
In addition to the above, there are also public technology display areas for all humans on earth, ranging from daily necessities to spacecraft, etc.
In fact, if we do not consider regeneration ability and only consider the combat effectiveness of science and technology, the current technological level of human beings on earth can be regarded as entry-level; and the main direction of human beings in the future is to speed up infrastructure construction and increase hematopoietic ability.
The wind was howling, but the enthusiasm of mankind on earth to build a new home broke through the cold wind and the iceberg. An ancient and diligent nation, even in this vast universe, has not given up on the road to self-improvement. Rise up step by step, struggle a little bit, and never give up!
When others say, why do you spend decades to achieve what others have achieved over hundreds and thousands of years? This hard-working nation silently lowers its head and uses its own hard work and wisdom to prove it. explain? Sorry, no matter how good you say it, it can't compare to using your hands and brain.
Seeing a special city towering over the ice sheet gradually taking shape, Gao Chengyang suddenly felt moved. Is this the power of civilization? With a little touch, Gao Chengyang felt an opportunity for a breakthrough. However, the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and it is still early to make the leap; but with a breakthrough, he has obtained the entry certificate. At least for Gao Chengyang, he has seen the tip of the iceberg in the Void Return Stage.
While Gao Chengyang was still slowly recalling the emotion he had just felt, an alarm sounded.
"What's going on?" Gao Chengyang, who had been so graceful before, instantly took out a communicator from his pocket. Okay, this is a bit cynical, but if there are technological means, why not use them? Not to mention, although cultivation is common among humans on earth today, there are only a few real masters; cultivation is not that easy.
"Your Highness, ten combat spaceships were discovered in outer space, in the shape of flying birds. Judging from the situation, they should be the technology of the Tianyun Empire. However, there are no signs on the spaceships, and the other party did not send signals according to normal rules. These are probably star thieves! "The soldiers responsible for monitoring outer space informed the information urgently. After passing the Xingmeng Network permission, humans can now learn too many things on this network. Even some common techniques are included.
In addition, because Gao Chengyang is Zhang Jingyuan's eldest disciple, generally everyone will address him as "Your Highness".
"Star thief?" Gao Chengyang was stunned for a moment, and then there was a mysterious smile on his lips, with confidence and a bit of murderous aura. To be able to cultivate to his current status, Gao Chengyang is not a great person.
"You reply to them on the public channel and say: Welcome." "Ah..." The soldier was stunned for a moment! (To be continued...)
ps: 300 words are included. I've been really busy lately and have been working overtime. For three consecutive days, I got up at 5 a.m. and went home after 19:00 p.m. Therefore, a free chapter can only be made up on weekends. Feel sorry.
