Some Questions and Answers About the Power System

Q: How is the power system in this book arranged?

A: Khan, I understand that everyone has questions about the power system. The setting of this book refers to Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". Judging from the comments, some children's boots have already been mentioned.

The core part of Neil Gaiman's setting is that man created God, not the other way around.

I will write about the specific power system construction later. If you are interested, you can also take a look at "American Gods". However, the power setting of "American Gods" itself is very confusing, and according to the view of modern online articles, the opening chapter It's extremely poisonous. Thank you all for the reminder. I will further improve it in the subsequent content.

Q: Shouldn’t the three strongest ones be the well-known ones?

A: Yes, unlike the Greek and Roman votes, there are over 100 million believers in the real world, but unfortunately I cannot write about it due to some well-known reasons.

Self-castration is one of the essential skills for creators to survive.

I needed to make some compromises in exchange for the safety of this book, so except for the Jewish god who often appears in film and television works (I mentioned some before, and I also said in the last chapter that he did not end up), I kept the other two. Do not write.

You could say this is the elephant in the room, but I pretend not to see it. The Squid Master’s best friends have all been blocked, and I’m more timid. Please forgive me, and I also understand everyone’s confusion.

Q: Why are there no local gods?

A: One reason is that the cultural differences between the East and the West are relatively large, and it is too difficult to mix them. I have not seen a book that can harmonize the two without causing a sense of inconsistency, so I personally don’t like to mix them. Another reason why the two are put together is for safety reasons. If you write about Buddha, you will write about ghosts. Everyone knows about the ban in the film and television industry. The Qidian thriller channel was also canceled before, so you understand, especially if you don’t know Wherever the line is, it is always right to cut more points. In fact, I can understand some things. You can tell by looking at the problems in South Korea next door. Of course, I still hope that there will be better solutions in the future.

Maybe in a few decades, when our materialist education has become popular and everyone can look at this area of ​​creation from a more open perspective, the group of people who left before will come back to reclaim this land. I always feel that As a creative genre, it would be a shame to die like this.

Q: Not related to the previous chapter, I saw some readers suggesting to me that if you encounter something you don’t understand, why don’t you just brush it off?

A: I have always believed that reality is created by details, so even if I don’t understand something, I am willing to look up information and write in more detail instead of just brushing it off. (In addition, if I really go through this book in one go, I'm afraid I'll have to go through it all in one go.) But there will definitely be problems here, such as the information being out of date, or there being differences in it. In fact, the big aspects are easy to check, but some details are more troublesome, such as When I was writing about the Soviet-Finnish War, the soldiers on both sides ate several meals a day. It was very difficult to find what to eat for each meal, but if I didn't find it, I lacked the bricks and tiles to build the world. When I wrote Tokyo Drift, I was in b I found a video about studying abroad by a certain master on the website. I also looked up things like accommodation and admission procedures, including what kind of bank cards international students usually apply for. I also bought a lot of reference books for subsequent copies of Apollo. (Although the translation process is very painful, it is also quite interesting)

These are actually nothing to be proud of, they are part of my job.

However, after all, this is just an article on this website. I need to maintain a certain amount of updates in order to make money, and my status will also have certain ups and downs. There will always be places I didn't expect. I can only do my best, but it is inevitable. There may be some omissions in some details, but as I write it now, I have discovered that the readers have all kinds of strange occupations and hobbies. Some are engaged in aerospace work, there are also kendo enthusiasts, diving instructors... everyone is great, and they always choose. My fault. (???????)

In addition, I have always faced the problem of balancing the truth of writing and the enjoyment of watching.

For example, in the Black Sails dungeon, the voting system on the ship was not satisfying enough, because even if Zhang Heng managed to become the captain, he might be overthrown by his subordinates, and gambling was not allowed on the ship. However, the real situation at that time was like this. The captain was walking on thin ice. You need to coordinate the relationship between your subordinates. This is your top priority, probably more important than your ability to rob.

This is also the reason why "Pirates of the Caribbean" is much more popular than the American TV series "Black Sails". "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more sensory-stimulating and beautiful. Everyone likes fun things to watch, and I am no exception.

So I sometimes make some trade-offs. For example, in the article about kendo, real kendo is different from that in film and television works. For example, a reader who likes kendo told me that in real kendo, no one fights face to face with swordsmanship. Victory or defeat, but I think this is quite heroic, and the part about fighting and drawing the sword is still left.

In addition, I have been adjusting and testing the rhythm.

Q: Last question, you’ve been rambling a lot here, have you written the second update today?

A: No. I probably won’t be able to write it anymore, and it’s useless for you to push me to the ground and hammer me. I know I owe a lot of chapters, including the previous book and the previous book. I have to make up for it one by one after finishing this book. Ashamed. (?_?)

ps: This chapter is very long, but it doesn’t cost any money.
