Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 173 New Cultivation System: Scientists
On the high platform.

Geng Tianhua, who had killed the witch, lowered his head and said to Xie Shen and the others, "Hurry, go back to the house and pack your things."

"We can no longer stay in this village."

"We have to leave before dark."

Are you about to run away?

Xie Shen was puzzled and asked, "There's no need to run away, right? With all the high-tech equipment you just used, who in the village would dare to say no to you?"

"I'm not worried about the people in the village, I'm worried about the pollution," said Geng Tianhua, the father, very quickly.

"Pollution?" Xie Shen asked in confusion.

Geng Tianhua explained: "The two high-tech equipment I just used are both powered by 'endless energy'."

"Equipment made with endless energy is very powerful."

"But at the same time, this type of equipment also has huge side effects."

"That is, it will cause extremely serious pollution after use."

After hearing the word pollution, Xie Shen immediately thought of indescribable creatures.

He asked curiously, "So what exactly is the pollution you are talking about?"

Geng Tianhua did not rush to explain. He just waved in the direction of home, signaling Xie Shen and others to go to their residence.

On the road.

He answered as he walked: "People who are polluted by endless energy will spontaneously gather together and build a building called 'Private School'."

what?
After hearing this, Xie Shen had a strange expression and asked, "And then?"

Geng Tianhua said: "Then, all the contaminated people will stay in the private school and study everything they can in this world. Because new knowledge can never be learned, these people will continue to study like this."

"Until death?" Xie Shen followed up with another question.

“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 moment and then asked, "So those people's cognition has been changed by the pollution? 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, their consciousness will be immediately engulfed by their endless desire for knowledge.”

"By then, those people will feel as miserable as if they can't find food to eat when they are hungry, can't find water to drink when they are thirsty, and can't fall asleep when they are sleepy."

“That’s why they have to keep learning.”

Xie Shen understood what Geng Tianhua wanted to express.

He followed the other person's words and said, "So those polluted people will feel pain regardless of whether they study or not, but the pain will be more intense when they don't study, so they have to keep studying?"

"Yes." Geng Tianhua responded: "That's what I mean."

"So when pollution comes, remember to stay away from it."

“Otherwise you will feel worse than death.”

The village where the original owner Geng Huan lived did not occupy a very large area.

While Xie Shen was talking with Geng Tianhua, the group had already returned to their residence.

But Geng Tianhua took out a large bag of dry food wrapped in linseed 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 completing all these preparations, the four of them hurriedly left the village.

——In fact, 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 their things and fled the village one after another.

As these people walked, they would occasionally cast hateful glances at Xie Shen and his group.

But perhaps he was afraid of the high-tech equipment that Geng Tianhua possessed.

Although these villagers hated each other, no one dared to attack Xie Shen and his men.

Not long after.

After everyone had 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 moment: "The alarm sound is the source of the pollution."

"For a long time afterwards, alarm bells would ring in the village from time to time."

"The closer people are to the alarm bells, the more likely they are to be contaminated."

"Then this alarm bell ringing from time to time may continue for a year or two."

“Maybe even longer.”

"The village can only be inhabited again after it is confirmed that the alarm bells are no longer ringing."

Since leaving Earth.

Over the years, Xie Shen has visited many different planets through interstellar voyages and the Butterfly Dream Technique.

And without exception.

All the planets he has visited have varying degrees of pollution.

Some of this pollution is spread through physical objects.

For example, the insects on the Huanrang star.

Some are also spread through special phenomena.

For example, the incident on the Quiet Morning Star where all human beings were unable to sleep.

Although pollution takes many forms.

But this kind of pollution that is spread through alarm sounds is the first time Xie Shen has seen it.

Walking room.

The eldest sister Geng Tao asked her father Geng Tianhua: "By the way, where is mother? Why didn't she follow us when we left the village?"

Geng Tianhua explained: "I have greeted her before."

"If anything happens to me, she will go directly to Gu Qingcheng to seek refuge with her family." "As for you guys."

Geng Tianhua added: "You are not yet of age, you are just children."

"Even if something happens to me, the villagers won't do anything to you."

"So when your mother left, she didn't take you with her."

Perhaps he was worried about being ambushed by someone in the village with ulterior motives.

On the way to escape, Geng Tianhua had been deliberately avoiding people from the same village and deliberately walked on deserted roads.

It was already approaching evening when everyone fled.

So before the group had walked for long, the sky gradually darkened.

See the night coming.

Geng Tianhua found a corner next to a rock with two walls against it, and set up camp with Xie Shen and others.

After lighting the bonfire, he told Xie Shen and his brother Geng Yizhi, "This is the first time for both of you to go out of the village. I need to tell you something in advance."

"I'll definitely remember that."

He emphasized: "After nightfall, no matter what you see or hear, you must not leave the camp."

As he spoke, 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.

next second.

As he moved, the lantern began to emit dazzling light on its own.

Geng Tianhua said to everyone: "Did you see clearly? This lantern is used."

"The firewood we just collected is definitely not enough to burn for a whole night."

"If the firewood is all burned out and the bonfire is about to go out, just light this lantern."

"In any case, we must ensure that there is light in the camp all night long."

"Do you understand?"

Among the crowd.

After hearing this, Xie Shen asked curiously, "Is the lantern in your hand also made of that endless energy?"

"That's right." Geng Tianhua nodded and replied, "But you don't have to worry."

“Not everything made with endless energy will cause pollution.”

"White lanterns like this, which almost all elementary school scientists can make, produce almost no pollution."

"Elementary school scientist?" Xie Shen asked after hearing this.

Geng Tianhua explained: "Just like the witches in the church, we scientists are also divided into different levels."

“A scientist who has just started is called an elementary school student.”

“Also known as entry-level.”

"These scientists can only make very few items, and they don't have much knowledge either."

"Above are junior and mid-level scientists, or junior scientists for short."

"For example, I am at this level now."

"Junior scientists are already 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 my knowledge, that kind of laser gun will be scrapped after only one use."

"So I only killed the witch from the church to prevent her from running back and informing on the situation."

talking.

He continued, "Then above that are high-, middle- and university-level scientists, which are referred to as senior scientists and great scientists respectively."

“When you reach the level of a great scientist, all you need is enough materials.”

"Then, if we have the blueprints, almost all equipment can be manufactured."

Geng Tianhua gave an example: "For example, the equipment that I used in the village before, which can form a position shield."

"That's what I asked for from a great scientist."

"That equipment can be embedded in a person's body, and it can only be used three times in total."

——In Xie Shen’s opinion, the stance shield could at least block an attack from a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, although the stance shield has a limit on the number of times it can be used, it can still be regarded as an absolute treasure.

It seems so.

He has reached the level of a university-level scientist and his abilities are pretty good.

With all the high-tech equipment prepared in advance, they might be able to compete with the Nascent Soul cultivators.

Xie Shen was very curious about the power system of "scientists".

He asked, "What about going higher? Has the great scientist reached the end?"

Geng Tianhua smiled and said, "There is no end to science, just like there is no end to all the knowledge in the world."

“After the great scientists, there are the legendary graduate-level scientists.”

"Throughout history, very few people have been able to reach that level of knowledge."

"It can be said that it is difficult to meet one in a thousand years."

“So I just deliberately didn’t mention it.”

——The reason why Xie Shen kept asking about the scientist was because the original owner Geng Huan’s last wish before his death was to become a scientist like his father Geng Tianhua.

Even surpassing his father.

In view of this, Xie Shen took the opportunity to propose to Geng Tianhua: "So what should we do to become a scientist?"
