The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 745

When 3-2 Sig followed the forbidden creature to the city of Lennarzer, Black Robb was already on the Old Days, a divine warship, beginning a series of analyses and estimations.

The forbidden creature had clearly not been beaten enough, so it obviously lacked anti-spy awareness. Black Rob used 3-2 to attract attention with the explosion and fireworks, and then collected the energy sample.

Therefore, in Black Rob's view, it was not so much that he was particularly skilled, but rather that the forbidden prey left too many loopholes, allowing him to succeed easily.

Analysis cannot be completed overnight, but fortunately, there is nothing to rush about now.

After all, analyzing their own weaknesses, they were nothing more than the old Divine Kingdom warships and various shelters.

A few months ago, we would have needed to add another channel relay station.

However, this shortcoming has now been made up for by rapid development.

The plague caused immense suffering to human civilization, but the negative impact on its systems was relatively limited.

While the construction of shelters and the provision of supplies for two million people delayed the production of the puppet army, the rare and extraordinary resources obtained from Luo Yuansu solved many high-end problems related to the lack of resources.

Compared to these problems, the production issues that support two million people are child's play. It's like having a complete system of manufacturing equipment for CNC machine tools; building an automated production line for instant noodles is a piece of cake. The quality and precision of the parts are much easier to handle.

Of course, the most priority for upgrading is still the old Japanese warship.

There's not much to say about this; the resources were in place immediately. The rest is simply a matter of gradually absorbing them over time and turning them into tangible results.

Because of the significant performance improvement of the Divine Kingdom warships, the channel relay stations have been removed, and the various shelters can now communicate directly with the Divine Kingdom warships in real time.

Of course, communication is secondary; the key is the transmission of faith and divine power.

Black Rob did not choose the path of faith in gods. Firstly, this path comes at a high price; if he were to choose it, he would not have been the guardian of the world when he initially signed the contract with the god of nature, but rather some other god.

He's persisted for tens of thousands of years; he won't change course now.

On the other hand, they naturally do not want to be influenced by believers.

He was always wary of the intelligent beings in this dark world.

Therefore, the sacred artifacts of the Heavenly Grace Mutual Aid Society and the farming sacred artifacts of the Golden Oak Dynasty inspired him. He crafted a batch of standardized sacred artifacts and then operated them like a trust savings fund, specifically establishing a place resembling a shrine for this purpose, the Holy Spirit Temple.

In the Holy Spirit Temple, standardized sacred objects are displayed like ancestral tablets, each blessed by a sacred array and bound to the corresponding sanctuary community, serving as its pool of wishes.

Of course, these sacred artifacts are operational. The willpower and supernatural power of the members of each shelter equal sacred power, which is fed back to the shelter to assist its life and production.

Moreover, the operation of each sacred artifact is open, transparent, and subject to supervision by the members of the shelter.

Although some Vault members complained, saying that the technology was controlled by Black Robb's faction and ordinary Vault members didn't understand it, they were being embezzled without anyone knowing.

However, this approach was still praised by most of the survivors.

Moreover, this system is constantly being improved.

For example, a measurement system that facilitates monitoring, combining numbers with dynamic charts, is more intuitive and easier to understand.

The greatest application of holy power has also changed over time.

Its earliest and largest application was in epidemic prevention.

Its most common application now is in the shelter magic circle.

The term "sacred array" may not sound very professional, but the survivors in the various shelters are used to it, find it easy to understand, and it's a catchy name.

"God" refers to Black Robb and the core members of the "Nightmare Death" secret society.

Many survivors in the shelters now refer to the spirit puppets as priests and the spirit puppets as priests, and regard 'Nightmare Death' as ​​a monotheistic religion.

Sainthood is the power of everyone's wishes.

God, through divine means, manages the wishes of all beings, generates sacred power, and brings blessings to all beings; therefore, He is called divine.

The establishment of the sacred magic circle brought practical benefits to the shelter, such as concealment and disguise, protection against evil spirits, identification of identity, and removal of ailments.

Especially after the people in the various shelters witnessed, through the extraordinary 3D imaging equipment of nightmare death, the evil forces breached the survivor gathering points, and the bandits and villains deceived the gathering point detection process, committing murder, arson, and looting of their fellow beings, they placed even greater hopes on the sacred magic circle.

It can be said that the sacred magic circle is their first and last line of defense for survival in this dangerous post-disaster world.

Without this multi-functional protective force field, we cannot live and work in peace. Who knows when we will have to risk our lives to protect ourselves from evil disasters and man-made calamities.

Of course, the sacred magic circle actually has many other potential uses.

For example, it became one of the rules that constrained survivors, enabling them to quickly adapt to so-called 'post-disaster production and life'.

In fact, this post-disaster production and life was the prototype of industrialized planting and breeding.

Three-dimensional agriculture, with its ultra-short cycle, processes the waste from roots, stems, leaves, and even kitchen waste and human excrement into feed for animal husbandry. In turn, livestock manure, combined with other types of feed, becomes food for fish and fertilizer for non-hydroponic crops.

This cycle is essentially the industrialization of agriculture, the establishment of industrial bases, and the three-dimensional development of these bases.

This makes the Black Robb family's refuge occupy an area equivalent to a modern residential community with a population of about 10,000, with a side length of no more than 1,000 meters.

Living in this environment is not much different from living in the factory dormitory, where you go back and forth between work and home every day.

Isn't this just a worker?
Even cultural education began to be promoted and popularized under the guise of "enlightening the people and increasing their willpower."

To put it bluntly, Black Rob is training the legitimate successors of previous human civilizations—workers with a certain level of education.

If he weren't worried that overly advanced technology would distort the survivors' survival skills and even their cognition, he would have had even more advanced technology to bring two million people directly into an era of distribution on demand.

Even now, from the perspective of shelters, the total number of shelters he manages, which has returned to over two hundred, is still a top-tier shelter in this era.

Its unique feature of not relying on external objects surpasses all other types of shelters.

Of course, it's not that it doesn't need external resources at all; it's just that the three-dimensional cycle solves part of the problem, while the remaining part is provided by Blackrobo's exclusive production base as semi-finished products. The last small part, such as sunlight, geothermal energy, and air, is drawn from nature.

Since it has almost no interaction with the outside world, there are no traces of human habitation to be found. In addition, it occupies a small area and has a special concealment field, so it is as if it does not exist in the world and is not bothered by all kinds of apocalyptic events.

Of course, this statement is also not entirely accurate.

Two points. First, the Black Robb lineage's shelters experienced collapses and disintegrations in the past, with more than thirty of them.

The vast majority of the members of these collapsed shelters have been taught a lesson by reality, and are now filled with regret.

However, a small number of the remaining people survived tenaciously, and most of them joined other survival groups.

Furthermore, even those who regret their past actions may not remember the good things about the refuge they once had; instead, they may feel jealousy or even hatred.

Therefore, both of these types of people are highly likely to leak information about the Black Robb Vault to the outside world. The Black Robb Vault has also encountered situations where people who left the Vault, with various motives, have tried to find it again.

Some came to return, while others brought people to loot.

These kinds of situations have not decreased over time; on the contrary, they seem to be increasing.

After all, more and more evil creatures are venturing into the vast areas outside the city in the form of hunting parties. At the same time, the various human survivor shelters are generally facing the problem of increasingly scarce survival supplies, just to varying degrees.

Whether it's foresight or an urgent need for life-saving rations, finding a sanctuary belonging to the Nightmare Death Society with self-sustaining survival technology has been a long-term mission for many survivor factions.

Some even have ulterior motives and deliberately spread rumors and exaggerate the truth, completely embodying the mentality that "if you can't have it, it will destroy you."

Secondly, the urban survivor selection operation initially implemented by Black Robb began to show more tangible results after about a quarter of development.

Whether you call it surviving countless battles or simply being incredibly lucky to have survived this long, there is a group of survivors who met Black Rob's selection criteria and ultimately chose to join the shelter established by Black Rob.

Here I'd like to mention the difference between shelters and refuges. In the current perception of survivors, the latter is clearly a level above the former.

The shelter had a sense of being a temporary refuge.

A shelter signifies that a powerful force provides basic security and order to the area, and it exists for a longer period of time.

Therefore, Black Robb considered what he was building as a refuge because he felt this model was transitional. The more than two million people he sheltered would eventually return to the vast world outside, and that return would not be indefinitely delayed.

Anyway, according to his plan, a generation (twenty years) seems a bit long.

However, most of the human survivors are pessimistic about the current situation. They feel that being able to maintain basic safety, carry out production and life, and pass the rest of their lives is already a good outcome, and anything more is a luxury.

Therefore, shelters are a place many survivors yearn for.

Of course, the survivors' concept of a sanctuary is not limited to the mysterious Nightmare Death Society Sanctuary; the fortresses and cities built by various forces also qualify.

However, due to hearsay and limited access to information, everyone has their own judgments and pursuits.

For Black Robb, the initial selection process had finally come to fruition, and he naturally wanted to recruit the personnel.

In addition, a new round of screening and recruitment will be conducted from among the survivors.

The reason for doing this is that Black Rob does not believe that the other survivor factions besides himself can truly lead the human survivors into a new era.

He believed more strongly that "one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand."

Take the prison gang that Sigmund 3-2 belongs to as an example.

He felt that even if the prison gang ultimately succeeded, they would most likely have figured out the fate of their core old brothers.

The privileged of the new era have achieved the life they desired, and this is roughly the extent of it.

As for the others, such as the peripheral members of the prison gang, their ultimate fate depends on their destiny and luck.

As for the lowest level, they are all cannon fodder, and will inevitably be eliminated in wave after wave of mass incidents. Those who survive will likely have highly distorted minds and bodies.

In other words, Black Rob believes that top-tier survival groups like the Prison Gang have the potential to completely survive the plague and rewrite the history of human civilization, because it's a matter of probability.

However, he is skeptical of any such survival group that ultimately meets his requirements (simply put, it should not be too distorted by natural disasters or man-made calamities).

There might be some that meet the requirements, or there might not be any. In short, you can't pin your hopes on any one of them.

Some might say, so what if human nature is distorted? When granaries are full, people know etiquette; when food and clothing are plentiful, people know honor and shame. With the development of production and the progress of society, humanity will eventually correct its distorted nature. This is because it is both a concrete manifestation of humanity's pursuit of a better future and a practical necessity (unity and cooperation).

Yes, Black Rob admits that.

But he didn't want to wait. He didn't want to wait until humanity had completely fallen into the abyss and then had to climb the ladder of civilization again from a stage that was only slightly worse than eating raw meat and drinking blood (or even worse, which, in addition to being distorted, also carried the dregs of past history).

Because he has a great enemy, the Elf King, who, in another time and space, is competing with him for the title of the main time and space by using a civilization built by intelligent life as a starting point.

Therefore, his idea is to preserve as much of the essence of human civilization in this time and space as possible, and even to some extent discard its dross. Then, by taking advantage of the great destruction caused by the plague, he can achieve a rebirth after destruction, just like a revival. After a brief period of pain (from the perspective of the long river of history), he can exude even greater vitality, carry on the past and open up the future, and develop vigorously.

Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to take in human survivors to this extent?
It's called a shelter, but it's actually a giant training center, with the ultimate goal of training over a million workers with near-elementary school graduation skills.

Such workers were already capable of handling most ordinary jobs in the later stages of the First Industrial Revolution. And isn't this precisely the level of technology we have today?
Therefore, a plague has actually created a group of city dwellers who have been hardened by the disaster and whose values ​​are more correct than those of the workers of the past. It seems more reliable for such people to lead the new era of mankind than for the group of outside survivors who have been ruined by the survival game in the apocalypse shelter.

Furthermore, Black Robb views all the various survivor groups currently on the market as false king forces paving the way for the true king during the Great Chaos.

Its main function is to explore new paths in various senses. It guides and maintains a group of refuges, allowing them to cross the river by feeling for the stones of these paths, leveraging their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and after the disaster has passed, they expand outwards and usher in a new era for mankind.

Even so, it would probably take hundreds of years to see any progress in just the task of restoring the population.

It is conceivable that if humanity were to climb back up from the depths of despair, whether it could once again become the most intelligent of all beings is questionable.

After all, humans are not without competitors, not to mention the Elf King's faction causing trouble.

In short, Black Robb's Vault series is not entirely without trace. Many survivors are aware of its existence, and it is still selecting qualified survivors, gathering them before they are completely distorted by the bitter and tragic fate of the apocalypse, and radiating positive light and warmth.

In addition, there is the acquisition and collection of raw materials for production.

This means that Black Robb's Sanctuary series is not truly flawless.

He is aware of his weaknesses and has multiple sets of preparations for preventing and responding to related emergencies.

For example, he later stopped the incarnation of God, Victor, from running rampant and killing people all over the world.

One of the purposes was to preserve some rare and extraordinary resources to prevent the Elf King's faction from using a decapitation strategy to gather all their high-end forces and attack the Old Days Divine Kingdom warship.

Each shelter also has its own backup plans.

Therefore, Black Robb is not very worried that the world will become more dangerous and cruel due to the appearance of forbidden creatures.

Everything has two sides.

Danger and cruelty also mean a multiplied increase in the consumption of supernatural power.

The nozzle of the forbidden creature is no ordinary size.

If evil is like a piranha, then the forbidden creature is like a blue whale, which can swallow tons of seawater and schools of fish with its gaping maw.

With such a voracious eater as the monstrous creature, the fertile and extraordinary wheat born from the exploitative practice of draining the pond will be harvested even faster.

Without such benefits, how would the Elf King's faction, especially the fallen gods, operate?
