People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Mudstone came forward curiously and looked at Nian expectantly.

During this period, she often felt that she was incapable, so she was naturally curious about the appearance of a real big shot like Nian.

As for whether he would feel that he was being replaced or something, at least that was not something Mudstone was considering right now.

After all, she was a Sarkaz. She had a stable life and could have a meal. Even if she was just helping Nian, what was wrong with that? Not to mention, she might be able to learn something from Nian.

You won’t find this opportunity anywhere else!

But Nian shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't want to teach, it was just that she couldn't.

“This is [Power].”

"Power?" Niyan was a little confused, as she had never heard of this word.

Nian explained: "If I must say, it is an innate talent. I have been good at this since I was born. For me, there is nothing I cannot make, from national treasures and high-speed warships to food, clothing, and daily necessities, and plowing the land."

"Those complicated machines are also possible?" Mudstone was shocked.

Nian nodded: "Of course."

Her words were not an exaggeration, in fact, in her plan to save her brothers and sisters, she was prepared to create a "mechanical behemoth" to replace the year, suck all of them in, and "rebirth" them all over again.

The theory behind this method is like a card bug, where files on one computer are cut and stored on another mobile hard drive, and then the connection cable is unplugged, so that the files cannot be found after the original computer is restarted.

It sounds simple, but the complexity is incredibly high. After all, the behemoth is not a computer. It is not easy for them to cut off the connection with the consciousness of the year-old. So she has no idea whether it can succeed.

Besides, she hadn't even had the chance to carry it out when she was caught by your sister.

The level of the year is indeed terrifyingly high, but she can't teach Mud Rock. Because the upper limit of the giant beast's [Power] is extremely high, and Mud Rock, unfortunately, although she is the son of earth and wood, she is a mixed-blood, an existence like the blood demon army, and even the search will subconsciously ignore the existence.

Her resonance with her bloodline is so limited that as a stone-winged demon, when she uses her own abilities to evoke the earth's response, she may even cause damage to herself and induce mineral sickness, making it difficult for her to last long.

"It's alright, Mudrock. Knowledge changes destiny."

As if she noticed Mudstone's slight disappointment, Nasti patted her shoulder gently and comforted her.

"Since I became the director of the engineering department of Rhine Life, I have never relied on my own witch spells. For every project, I personally drew the blueprints, directed, inspected, and accepted it, and finally reached this level."

Just like Nasti said, if your bloodline is not good, you can make up for it or even surpass it by learning knowledge.

Otherwise, at this moment when the power of the gods and people has weakened to this day, the Sarkaz who still retain the power of the royal court would have made a comeback long ago, and the countries of Terra would have been razed to the ground long ago. How could there be the flourishing Terra civilization today?

The scavengers' army cannot directly destroy the fleet of high-speed warships, and the Sarkaz's witchcraft cannot completely drown out the brilliance of Originium skills. On the contrary, the bureaucratic administrative system of the modern Terra country is far more efficient than the ancient royal court of the Sarkaz. This is the brilliance of the development of civilization.

From this point of view, Mudstone's starting point is even higher than Nastie's. After all, she is also a child of earth and stone, and her natural affinity can help her easily overcome many thresholds that Nastie used to rack her brains for.

As for whether Nasti will neglect mudstone because of the years.

That's unnecessary worry.

If she was just looking for a handy tool, then Nasti might have this idea.

But she never regarded mudstone as a tool - if the tool is not easy to use, what should be done is to replace it, rather than teaching it, helping it, and making it easier to use.

Nasti did this because she was training Mudstone as her "successor".

As for this successor, whether he will take over from her as the director of the Rhine Life Engineering Department, or from the senior management of Kazdelnia, or both, it is unknown.

Mud Rock nodded slightly. She was not too depressed. She just stepped back slightly and made up her mind.

Read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more, study, study and study again, don’t let yourself down!

Nasti looked at Nian, with shock flashing in her eyes.

Mudstone had little experience and didn't know what [Power] meant, which was normal. But Nastie was no longer some little white witch.

[Power] is usually only used to describe the ability of a group.

"You...you, are a giant beast?"

Nian glanced at Ernst, who nodded, and she nodded generously:

"I think I am."

This answer is actually a bit vague. After all, her official record in Yan Country is [Sui Beast Agent].

There has been a debate within Yan State about whether the twelve brothers and sisters of the Sui family can be regarded as complete giant beasts. The records of the Simaitai usually begin with "with animal colors...", but some people from the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and even the Imperial Tutor directly refer to them by their code names or names, or even nicknames, such as "the sinner" for the second brother.

There is a difference between a sinner and a sinful beast. In Da Yan, where the art of language is most important and every word may contain deep meaning and the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is unlikely that a character like Taifu will make a mistake in this title, which is also a statement.

But Nastiko didn't know the twists and turns involved.

She was sure of only one thing.

In front of him was a giant beast.

A giant beast that is good at [Creation].

Her power of [Creation] is not limited by the level of knowledge like the Son of Earth and Stone. She can create anything!

And this giant beast was the "helper" that Ernst brought to her.

Who on earth could send a giant beast to someone as a helper? This is a giant beast! Not to mention asking for a helper, this is the first time in Nastie's life that she has met and talked with a giant beast so closely!

There is no doubt that with her help, Nastie's project will be greatly improved, and even save a lot of material processing costs, but...but...

What can I use to pay back what I owe you?

Nasti looked at Ernst with an indescribably complicated expression.

It was an expression like a palette of joy, relief, distress, helplessness, and ambiguity.

Even Ramalen was called over, she really didn't have anything left to offer. If this continued, would she really have to promise to stay in Kjerag and be a hardworking glue maker for a hundred years?

What excuse would you use when you ask Ernst to borrow money next time? How would you extend the time?

lifetime?

Chapter 476 Levi: Originium Information Field and Consciousness Empire

Columbia, Tremont, Rhine Life, Originium Life Sciences, Laboratory.

Levi had received Ernst's letter, but this time, he did not leave immediately.

Tremon still had a lot of things to deal with. Nasti also sent him a letter. He was already aware that Rhine Life was going to build a branch in Kjerag. Although he had never experienced the so-called Rhine Life Directors' Joint Meeting, he asked Parvis and got a relatively detailed explanation of the process.

Generally speaking, they just get together to vote, and the few obey the majority. He was somewhat surprised that this large capital enterprise could implement such a system.

But that's all. Parvez also mentioned that if Kristen was there, the matter would probably have been settled on the spot.

Putting aside the issue of voting, his experiment has entered a critical stage.

Levi's subject is called Originium Life Science, but what he studied was never the theory of Originium Life. Those products that the people in power valued, such as "resurrection", "life extension", and "Originium biological weapons", were just by-products of his experimental process.

There is only one thing he studies, and that is Originium itself.

Holding a piece of pure Originium in his hand, Levi admired its smooth surface and the amber-like golden heart hidden deep in its black shell, feeling a little fascinated.

The notebook open beside him was filled with various questions and answers.

[Q: Compared to the Earth's main energy sources of oil and electricity, the energy stored in Originium is incredibly high. Why?]

[Answer: Blank, this question has no answer yet (crossed out)]

[Q: Ordinary Originium Ore is black, but the purified RemBitto high-purity Originium Ore is black on the outside and gold on the inside, and there are faint rhombuses on its surface. Why? ]

【Answer: This item is grouped with the next one. 】

[Q: Does the diamond shape symbolize anything? ]

[Answer: I have consulted all the books on semiotics and symbolic imagery that Columbia Library has preserved so far. The rhombus does have many symbols, but they can generally be found in nature. However, there is no corresponding object for the rhombus on the source stone.]

[Hypothesis 1: According to current research, Originium has the ability to preserve and "freeze" consciousness, and can be activated through scientific methods. The consciousness empire recorded by Terran humans in ancient books is likely to be an information field formed by the release of some internal information when many Originiums are activated by some special circumstances at the same time.]

[If this is the assumption, then did the Originium come first, and then some information was sealed into it to form the Consciousness Empire, or did the Consciousness Empire come first, and then manifest itself in the material world in the form of Originium? ]

This seems to be a question of "which came first, the chicken or the egg?", but Levi vaguely feels that this may be the key to the research of Originium. If he understands this, he may really understand Originium.

[Back to that question, why is there a neat rhombus on the Originium? ]

Nature does give special forms to many of its creations. For example, the famous jadeite has different types, such as glass, ice, and sticky. Similarly, marble has its own water-like patterns, and granite also has different patterns, such as coarse grains and blocks.

But there are very few stones with equilateral rhombuses on them, which are obviously not the result of natural evolution.

If Levi's deduction about the Consciousness Empire and Originium Information Theory is correct, then no matter "Originium came first or the Consciousness Empire came first", it seems that one thing can be confirmed.

Given the inseparable relationship between the two, the rhombus seems to have a very simple explanation:

"Is it a symbol? A watermark? A...signature?"

Levi raised an eyebrow.

The diamond pattern on the Pure Originium in his hand did not change at all, and did not give any affirmative or negative answer to his guess.

Of course, this thing hasn't even been activated, what can it say?

Levi even wondered if he had gone astray in his research on “activation”.

The Originium plants he sent to the Ecology Department of Muirseth, according to the feedback sent back by the Ecology Department, were able to grow slowly in the initial stage as the Originium spread, but after reaching a certain stage, they all "stopped growing".

They did not break apart like those failed products due to improper operation, nor did they continue to show a state of "life". They were like "amber" sealed by Originium, neither alive nor dead, and motionless.

Further "activation" will inevitably lead to further activation of the Originium, completely devouring the plants in the [amber state], and then shattering them, and the experiment will be declared a failure.

"It's possible that they weren't failures, but that you also saved them into your [world]. Who knows."

Levi muttered, smiling.

The more mysterious the Originium is, the more it arouses his curiosity as a scientist.

He picked up the notebook at hand and added a new question at the bottom:

[Question: What is the relationship between the Consciousness Empire and the Originium Information Field? ]

He did not think that the information field that might exist inside the Originium was directly equivalent to the Empire of Consciousness.

Because the plant state of [Amber State] told him that the plants that were completely replaced by Originium and completed the transformation were stagnant. In various myths and legends of Terra, stories of heroes entering the Consciousness Empire and experiencing adventures often appeared. This shows that the Consciousness Empire can at least interact.

How do you get past the resin that seals the amber and interact with the stagnant information inside?

Therefore, conjecture 1 may be correct. The Consciousness Empire is only a small part of the Originium information. It is a specific manifestation of the information field released after a large number of Originiums are activated under special circumstances, affecting the material world. Therefore, the heroes in ancient myths can see "their own self" and "past glory" in it. For them, it is also the legendary "legendary kings and warriors" and "unspeakable mysteries".

If there is a chance, Levi himself would also like to try to see if he can bypass consciousness authentication by directly activating a large number of Originium at the same time. Instead of trying to pry the lock of the "spiritual world" that he knows nothing about, he would open the door to the material world that he is familiar with.

However, the chances of doing so are somewhat slim.

After all, experiments have proven that the more Originiums activated at the same time, the greater the energy. If enough Originiums are activated at the same time to trigger the [Consciousness Empire Information Field] effect, the energy released will probably be no less than a natural disaster.

His tiny arms and legs can't withstand natural disasters.

Although it is said that if one hears the truth in the morning, he would be willing to die in the evening, he has no plans to become a martyr for the time being. There are still many things he wants to study about Terra.

Closing the notebook, Levi looked at the small Originium again and put it into the storage box beside him.

Pure Originium may be a rare commodity in other places, but in Rhine Life, as long as he asks for this kind of experimental material, he can get as much as he wants.

But Levi still has the habit of thriftiness.

After closing the safe, Levi just turned around, and as if by chance, or as if he had expected it, the communication bell in his office rang.

"Director Levi, are you there?"

Levi answered: "I'm in."

"Well, Director Muirseth has asked Director Saria to convene a directors' joint meeting, and you are required to attend. Do you have time now?"

Levi smiled, "Of course. I'll be there now."

After hanging up the call, Levi smacked his lips with envy.

Just like his research on Originium, he also has a great passion for the research on Terran creatures.

One of them is Director Muir Seth of the Ecology Department.

How did she manage to transmit her consciousness between Kjerag and Columbia, two places so far apart? What was the structure of her [manifold] water clone? What race was she?

The name filled in on the file was Liberi, but Levi thought it was a joke and anyone who believed it was a fool.

If I had the chance, I would really like to dissect Director Muirseth and her water clone...

Unfortunately, Ernst would not agree. He was one of those people who was very opposed to human experiments.

"Oh, I have a headache."

He shook his head; his flexible moral bottom line was somewhat challenged at this moment.
