Chapter 1131 Gao Wen's Sense of Urgency

There are some things that Gao Wen can calculate clearly in his mind, and of course Belsetia, who is the Queen of Silver, can also understand. She is very clear that these antenna arrays, which seem to be top secrets, are technologies that are firmly controlled by Cecil. And mastering these antennas is the only portal to talk to that "signal" (if it can talk to it). Gao Wen said that he wants to start this monitoring plan with the countries of the entire alliance, but he will open this door Is the key also open?

It is obviously impossible. Gawain may be a generous ruler, but he is the leader of the Cecil Empire first. It is impossible for him to hand over the initiative to outsiders for such a thing that does not know where it will go in the future. .

But even so, Belsetia is willing to accept this "invitation" - since the Cecil Empire has mastered the core technology and "first opportunity", it is normal and natural for this monitoring project to be led by them , but the remaining "participation rights" are equally important, especially for the Silver Empire, which is also not weak in technology. As long as they can participate in this project, the elves have the confidence to get their own rights in future technological achievements. reward.

Of course, whether this signal is a blessing or a curse... depends on how the future will develop.

"When are you going to announce this matter?" After a short silence, Belsetia asked suddenly, "I mean...announce it to the whole society...do you plan to announce this matter to the people?"

In the end, the Silver Queen was obviously hesitant. She knew that one of Gao Wen's current goals was to "push knowledge to the people and return thinking to the people." All mortals are in awe of the unknown and even deified. She understands the necessity of doing so, but now there is a secret in front of her. This secret points to an unknown world that has never been explored by human beings—she suddenly hesitates.

Ordinary people who lack knowledge... can they really accept this kind of thing? After they come into contact with this kind of secret, won't they really give birth to new beliefs in thinking about the mysterious starry sky?

Gao Wen could well understand Belsetia's concerns, it was really complicated, so he also thought about it before breaking his silence: "This may be the first challenge that the Theocratic Council has faced since its establishment—when the cutting-edge After technology suddenly touches areas beyond ordinary people's understanding, and even touches areas related to theology, how to explain everything to the public can achieve a smooth transition and allow blind awe to land safely on the soil of rational logic.

"This problem must be faced head-on, because as long as our technology is still developing, similar situations will always appear. Today it is a signal from the starry sky, and tomorrow it may be the explanation of the shadow world or even the magic power. The original understanding - if we avoid explaining them in front of the public, then in essence this is no different from the previous "creation of gods". A 'theological explanation' that takes new technology as the object of reverence, and even such things as Mechanicism and God of Technology will appear."

Belsetia raised her eyebrows: "You mean, you really want to open this signal and a series of interpretations around it to the public?"

"It should be open, but we must fully consider the guidance of public opinion and the thinking habits of the public, and carry out a gradual, limited, and controlled opening," Gao Wen said while thinking, his mind was working quickly, and at this moment, he Suddenly realized that the mysterious signal might not be as simple as a "greeting from the sky", in a sense, it could even become a "practical exercise" after the establishment of the theocracy,

Although it came unexpectedly, this "surprise" is one of its values. "We have to face up to the fact that ordinary people's knowledge level and their way of thinking are different from real astrologers, so we can't follow the same Scholar communication mode to communicate with ordinary people...

"We should first do a good job of 'popular interpretation' of professional knowledge, and convert professional terms into a language that at least 60% to 70% of ordinary people can understand. We need some less serious publicity platforms and preachers. To explain to the public—or re-explain the astronomical concepts that became common sense in the upper class during the Gondor period. Of course, even if they explain it this way, they probably won’t be able to understand the difference between stars and planets, but at least they will understand one thing The thing is that the 'worlds above' are also understandable, they are not out of reach, but within the sight of mortals.

"We can't just tell them what 'interstellar communication' is, it is easy for people with ulterior motives to guide it as a revelation from the gods or some kind of 'harbinger'...

"In addition to the official caliber, we also need a very large-scale civil guidance. We need someone to walk and observe among the public, understand what people are discussing in pubs and squares, and we need to organize a large number of influential and exciting Convincing 'speakers' of ordinary people, these speakers may not be real experts, but in the eyes of the public, what these people say will be more familiar and credible than those scholars who speak obscure words. We want this kind of 'speakers' In terms of management, if there is one, we will incorporate it, if not, we will build it from scratch.

"The minds of the people are not inherently ignorant, but it is an uncultivated land. If we don't cultivate it, it will be easily occupied by ignorant and blind thoughts..."

Gawain was thinking while talking, and there were occasional pauses in the middle. This was to better organize the language and straighten out the thoughts. Thinking look, and at the end, he didn't forget to add one more point:

"In addition, Belsetia, you have to remember that the purpose of all our 'propaganda' and 'announcement' is not to pursue 100% accuracy and detail - too accurate and detailed technical information is difficult for the public to understand I don't like to listen, what we want to ensure is that these things are not wrong in the general direction, and conform to the facts in terms of basic concepts, and the main purpose of these things is to..."

"In order for ordinary people to think," Belsetia nodded without waiting for Gao Wen to finish speaking, "let them not habitually fall into awe and theological explanations when facing unknown things, but learn to use logic to try." Understand everything—whether this superficial understanding is correct or not is not important, what is important is to prevent them from taking that signal as the voice of God in the first place."

"That's right, this is the most important job of the Theocratic Council," Gao Wen nodded. "It seems that you have understood my theory—this is very rare."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing: "To this day, even in Cecil, there are many people who think that I want to thoroughly educate the people, hoping that everyone can think rationally, be wise and knowledgeable... Sigh , In fact, even I dare not think of such a thing.”

When Gawain and Bersetia had a serious discussion, Bertila on the side remained silent for a long time. She seemed to be thinking about something, and when the discussion beside her came to an end, she suddenly said: "Even so , it is still inevitable that some people will mislead the public around the topic of signals and stars. They may be politicians with ulterior motives, they may be conservative priests who are eager to find loopholes under the pressure of the Theocratic Council, or they may even have plotted against the law from the very beginning Cultists...the situation in Cecil may be better, but not all countries can effectively control the society, and when this happens, the people will become a breeding ground for heresy."

"When this happens, I'm afraid we will have to use the theocratic tribunal of the council," Bersetia said, looking into Bertera's eyes, "Of course, that's the next thing to do—if we can rely on extensive If we can achieve our goals through universal education, common sense literacy and ideological liberation, we will not have to resort to violence to solve problems.”

Speaking of this, the elf ruler suddenly let out a long breath, she smiled under the starlight, and looked at Gawain beside her: "I have benefited a lot from what you just mentioned - I am in charge I have held the reins of an empire for seven centuries, and sometimes even considered myself a successful ruler, but now it seems...there is still much for me to learn.

"This knowledge doesn't sound like something that Uncle Gao Wen can sum up. Are they the teachings of the 'Wanderer outside the Territory'?"

"Is there a difference?" Gawain smiled, "We are already the same individual, even though the general direction of the things I just said came from 'Extraterrestrial Wanderers', its details are based on Gawain Cecil's understanding of awareness and understanding of the world.”

"That's true," Belsetia smiled lightly, feeling a little emotional, "Then again, what you just said...it won't happen overnight. It seems that I have I need to go back and think about it.”

She turned around, turned her back to the antenna array behind her, and bowed slightly to Gawain: "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first—can you continue to show me this magical place tomorrow?"

"Of course," Gawain nodded with a smile, and said to Bertila beside him, "You can send her back."

As soon as Gao Wen finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the nearby sea of ​​leaves, and then a large flower vine suddenly bloomed and spread from the layers of leaves, and while the vines squirmed, another Bertila The avatar came out from there, and came to the Silver Queen briskly and silently: "I will take you to the resting place——Eileen has been waiting for you for a long time."

The Silver Queen looked at the two Belteras in surprise, then showed a decent smile, followed the second avatar, turned and left the platform where the antenna array was located.

It wasn't until the figure of the other party disappeared, leaving only Gawain and Beltira on the top of the tree under the night, that Gawain glanced at the latter: "Now you can still create and control two avatars at the same time?"

Bertila smiled slightly, with a trace of pride and slyness on his face: "I have a lot of brains."

Gao Wen: "..."

Some crazy images of losing san flashed in his mind, Gao Wen almost shivered in this warm summer night, and then he quickly shook his head to get those mentally polluted associations out of his mind, and then fell into a thought about it.

—————

After a brief consideration, he looked at Beltira and said solemnly: "I remember you said that your current body can continue to grow... and there is a lot of room for subsequent growth?"

"Theoretically...if only 'growth' is considered, the growth potential of the giant tree of Sorin is actually far from reaching its limit, and even I myself don't know how big this limit can be," Beltira said carefully after thinking for a while. , "But in fact, there are many things to consider - firstly, whether such a large amount of nutrition can be ensured, and secondly, how to ensure the stability of an overly large structure. These two points are actually easy to solve. I can consciously adjust the newborn Branches and root systems to ensure the structural strength and nutrient supply of giant trees...

"Then we have to consider the carrying capacity of the environment. My canopy has now affected the ecosystem of the entire Solin Plain. Under conscious control, this impact has reached a beneficial balance. But if the canopy continues to spread, I will The entire ecosystem of the Holy Spirit Plain must also be included in the calculation, which will lead to too many unpredictable parts...

"Finally, and most importantly - my ability to think."

Bertila pointed to her forehead, but it was just a symbolic gesture: Gawain and she both knew that there was only wood in this head.

What she was referring to was her ability to think.

"You mean... the giant tree of Sorin is too large, and if it continues to expand, it will affect your thinking," Gao Wen frowned, "even your spirit will not be able to command such a huge body, causing some areas of the giant tree to lose control ?”

"That's what happened," Bertera nodded, "Although I have...'transformed' into this form now, and even my own spirit seems to have undergone a certain degree of mutation, I am able to direct such a plant to transform into a body, but my spirit still has limits after all, and if the giant tree expands infinitely, I will eventually lose the ability to perceive and control a part of my body."

Gawain's tone became serious: "What will happen if part of the Sorin Giant Tree goes out of control?"

"Don't be so nervous, those out-of-control branches won't turn into monsters and jump out of the canopy," Beltira looked at Gawain's serious expression, and couldn't help laughing, "Like those branches that are disconnected. Just like the 'Beltera doll' of the vine, most of the out-of-control branches will only become ordinary branches, at most they will be necrotic and fall off, just like..."

For some reason, a word popped up in Gao Wen's mind: "Hair loss?"

Overtime can cause hair loss.jpg.

Bertila: "...Although your description is very subtle, why do I feel offended?"

Gao Wen hurriedly coughed twice: "Ahem, I didn't mention you, I did... Forget it, just pretend I didn't mention anyone."

Bertila glanced at Gawain suspiciously, and looked back after a while: "Well, it's basically the same as what you said, those giant tree structures that are out of control will fall off like... the hair. Speaking of which, you Why did you suddenly ask me this? Didn’t you say that the giant tree of Sorin has already expanded to a sufficient scale, so it’s best not to continue to expand?”

Gao Wen was silent for a moment, then silently raised his head to look at the night sky.

The distant Frost Sky Constellation was quietly flashing in the night sky. In that direction, there might be a pair of eyes on a star that looked at the same universe, quietly thinking about issues related to fate.

"I just suddenly felt a sense of urgency." He whispered to break the silence.
