Chapter 581: Hundred Years Plan

Nefeli stood on the steps of the temple, looking back at the City of Light behind her.

As the capital of the Kingdom of the Sun, the scale of this place is constantly expanding.

Buildings and courtyards built of marble, granite and blue sandstone are located in it, and the streets made of stone slabs are lined with trees on both sides. Ethnic groups with different forms and customs cooperate with each other and work hard.

Whether it is the flying whales and giant beaks in the sky, or the wild wolves who like to hunt in the sea in groups, or the various orcs who awaken from the wild and come to the royal city... In the City of Light, they all have to live according to the laws of the kingdom.

Only here, not beyond.

This is the deterrence of the gods.

However, outside this ancient capital, the entire kingdom and the entire world are undergoing earth-shaking changes. This change began when the King of Light issued the oracle a hundred years ago and is still continuing.

Nefeli dragged her long skirt embellished with many flowers of resentful spirits and stepped into the temple that ordinary people could not approach.

Inside, at this time, there were only the statues of the gods and the bonfire on the ground.

Behind the statue of Yao God are four subordinate gods: Bai Shen, Wu Ji Wang, Ju Shen and Guang Wang. The firelight shines on them, casting shadows of different shapes on the wall.

Nefeli prays silently in front of the statue.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

A red light flashes.

The young Guang Wang descends.

"Nefeli, is there a problem again?"

Even though he has been promoted to a god, Guang Wang still maintains his past approachability.

"Your Majesty."

Nefeli looked bitter: "The camels have reached a consensus and united somehow. More than 60,000 camels are on strike on the coast, demanding better treatment and more holidays and other benefits."

"Very good."

Guang Wang smiled instead: "The camels' resistance shows that they have developed self-awareness and thinking. This century-long plan is to enlighten their wisdom, which will allow them to grow faster and integrate into the further construction of Yao's civilization."

Nefeli could only smile.

You think it's good.

But for specific matters, I, the apostle, have to coordinate and appease.

Camels are the key to tea picking and transportation. They are also experts in identifying various new species in the wild. After the accident, the kingdom's tea suffered great losses.

For a long time, camels have been gentle, hardworking, and have strong endurance. They also have a tenacious temperament when they go on strike.

"Your Majesty, the key is actually the problem of sea cows and continental people."

Neferi said seriously: "Because of the different treatment issues, the camels have caused dissatisfaction and anger."

"Why?"

The King of Light was puzzled: "There is no difference in treatment between different races in the Kingdom Code."

"In fact, it is not the case."

"Even in an ideal situation, compared with the current situation of the actual society, the kingdom's policy adjustments will inevitably lag behind to a certain extent, and this time lag will cause some groups to benefit and other groups to fall behind. As time goes on, the advantages of those who benefit first will continue to accumulate, and it will be difficult for latecomers to catch up. This is It is one of the epitomes of uneven group development. "

Nefeli said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you have been specializing in the research of gene sequences and promoting the Centennial Plan in recent years, but the current situation of the Kingdom of the Sun is very complicated."

"In the past few hundred years, the kingdom has maintained a relatively stable order, and the conflicts between ethnic groups are in a state of mediation and have not been intensified on a large scale."

"After the initial development of the gene sequence was completed, the social situation has actually changed. People with gene sequences despise those without gene sequences, and those who have developed more deeply in the gene sequence despise those who have developed the gene sequence at a beginner level... This is an objective fact that cannot be avoided."

The Wraith Girl Luo paused and continued to preach.

"Although there were some twists and turns in this stage, it still remained stable within the existing order framework. Later, the Centennial Plan was launched, and you requested to try to activate the gene sequence of various species on the island. This subversive change swept the entire world, bringing visible species diversity and strength enhancement, and also caused unprecedented violent conflicts and bursts of thoughts at the secular level..."

...

As the patron saint of the world of the island, the King of Light Chi Lian decided to launch the Centennial Plan for the Kingdom of the Sun after repeated research and soliciting a large number of national opinions.

Apostle Nefeli and Archon Zhao are both staunch supporters.

The reason is simple.

In the world under the command of God Yao, the Kingdom of the Sun started slowly. There is the Yao world with deep roots, the Resurrection Kingdom co-supported by the two gods who came later, and the Yunzhong Temple that has entered an explosive development due to the theory of elements.

Compared with these developed and high-speed worlds, the Zhoudao world is undoubtedly lagging behind.

In order not to be left further and further behind and not to be completely reduced to a corner in the next era, the Kingdom of the Sun must vigorously develop local characteristics and advantages and open up new areas of development.

The Sand City of Yunzhong Temple is an excellent success story.

Nefeli suggested: "The kingdom has the most mature understanding and utilization of gene sequences, and this technical capability still has huge potential to be tapped."

Archon Zhao also said: "The population growth of the Redthorn Clan has entered a period of long-term stability, and has maintained a population of 700,000 for more than ten years. The facts in the Yao Kingdom have proved that the increase in extraordinary power will lead to a decline in fertility. The stronger the individual, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring."

He proposed that national welfare should be further improved to attract foreign population. But when it comes to competing with other worlds for population, the Kingdom of the Sun has no advantage at all.

The King of Light said: "We have to choose another method."

"The kingdom must accommodate more ethnic groups, further tap the potential of the island world, and develop more civilized groups."

"We want to use the genetic sequence as a key to unlock the wisdom process of other life forms in this world! We want them to join the process of the new era of the Kingdom of the Sun and become new naturalized citizens of the kingdom!"

"Whether they are sharks, savages in the forest, islanders on the sea islands, or even apes and wolves in the wilderness, fish in the water, and birds in the sky, they are all our potential naturalization targets!"

"Let's take one hundred years as the first stage and make an attempt at enlightenment in the island world!"

The person who proposed this plan was the King of Light. He personally completed a large number of visits and surveys in his incarnation, and conducted local cutting-edge experiments before reaching practical conclusions.

When it comes to concrete implementation, the first target of naturalization is the sea mermaid.

The Sharks have a long history, and they also have intelligence and living habits that are closest to those of the Red Thorns.

Nefeli went to discuss this matter with the sharks herself.

The elders of the sharks have a very positive attitude.

"If that's the case, of course that's fine."

"Most young people in the clan should be willing to try it!"

"We have always longed to restore the glory of our ancestors in the past. Under the light of Yao God and the King of Light, we will definitely be able to make great contributions to the world and the kingdom!"

…

In fact, just like the reaction shown by the elders, the sharks actively embraced the new life.

After the sharks completed large-scale gene activation, more than half of them awakened the same genetic sequence.

[Gene Sequence 3: Return to Ancestry]

The removal of this ability feature will improve the shark's strength, physical strength, speed and other abilities, and will also cause their bodies to undergo irreversible changes in shape.

In the end, two new forms emerged among the sharks, or they could be said to be derivative races.

One is the manatee.

This kind of life form is much larger than a mermaid, looks like a hornless calf, has a fish tail, and can live in water and on the shore.

They are relatively slow-minded and lethargic, can feed on various seaweeds and seaweeds, and have a gentle personality.

It seems that the sharks evolved from the sea cows.

Nefeli has been observing and exploring manatees for a long time and discovered that they have a talent. In the ruminants vomited by manatees, there will be a kind of pumice that can float on the water.

When pumice is soaked in water, a large area of ​​light green seaweed will grow.

This plant named [Seaweed] by the Kingdom is not only a natural detoxifying herb, but also a brand new spice. Just dry it and sprinkle some on your meat when cooking to make it extra delicious and sweet.

Another change of the Sharks is the Zhouzhou people.

At first, when she saw the extinct Zhouzhou people wandering along the coast, Nefeli doubted whether it was an illusion.

After repeated tests, she determined that those Zhouzhou people were actually the result of genetic atavism of the sharks.

This subverts the existing historical understanding of the past.

Archaeologists have always believed that the Zhouzhou people were the masters of the land, while the sharks were the creatures of the ocean. The two were completely different races.

But the [gene sequence] refutes this conclusion.

There is a blood relationship between the Sharks and Zhouzhou people, but this relationship is very complicated and lasts until the time when the coir raincoat still existed.

Nefeli spent more than ten years and finally sorted out a picture of evolution through wreckage archaeology, blood testing, folklore surveys, historical inheritance of the sharks, and visits to underwater ruins...

"Are the ancestors of the sharks a manatee or a Zhouzhou person?" King Guangming was very interested in this at the time.

Nefeli said: "Your Majesty, at first we suspected that the sharks were some Zhouzhou people who went into the sea and domesticated the sea cows, and mated with the sea cows... and then the sharks were born."

"But such speculation was proved to be completely wrong. Archaeologists found scattered bones of Qi Manatee on land, but they were unable to reconstruct the true appearance of Qi Manatee through the bones. Zhouzhou people have no knowledge about Qi Manatee at all. Records, that is to say, there were no sea cows in the time of their existence.”

"We have conducted a large number of elemental analyzes on the blood in the blood mound, as well as in White Castle, Sand City, and Abyss, and we have proven one thing: Zhouzhou people evolved from manatees."

"Originally, manatees lived widely between the land and oceans of this world. They had abundant food, were docile and peaceful. However, the world has gone through cycles of extreme cold and heat, resulting in both carnivorous beasts on the ground and large predators in the sea. Feed on manatees."

"Under the pressure of survival, some of the manatees moved further inland, and then became the earliest Zhouzhou people. In order to adapt to the land, they became short and strong, and could climb and dig holes to avoid large enemies."

"Another group of manatees has evolved a more flexible body and can identify the direction and movement of currents in the water. They completely embraced the ocean and became sharks that can withstand huge water pressure in the deep sea."

This has filled in some of the historical gaps in the island world.

Under the atavistic power of genetic sequences, two groups from different eras met for the first time.

Zhouzhou people are hard-working and keen on collecting and building. Although they are short in stature, they are full of energy and are very good at group cooperation.

The sea cows live leisurely on the seaside, relying on the "Sea Grass" provided by the sky for food. They bask in the sun every day, eating and drinking.

Everyone has their own way of living.

In order to take care of and naturalize the mermaids, the Kingdom of the Sun built a new city for them and gave them great support, allowing the people of Zhouzhou, mermaids and sea cows to govern themselves.

...

Nefeli's thoughts returned to the temple.

She said easily: "Your Majesty, the mermaids have enjoyed the first batch of naturalization dividends. Now not only the camel beasts want to fight for their own city, but the islanders also want to confirm the legal status of their islands in the kingdom. The orcs in the mountains who have succeeded in the gene sequencing attempt are also constantly demanding that their forest hunting grounds and settlements be retained."

The King of Light nodded: "If they want to keep their past way of life, then let them keep their traditions and autonomy and divide the autonomous region."

Nefeli was a little anxious: "But Your Majesty, if the kingdom cannot be managed in a unified manner, whether it is coordinating resources or allocating supervision, it will be extremely inefficient. "

"I know your concerns, and I also know that it is difficult for you to deal with it."

The King of Light just said calmly and firmly: " However, Nefeli, you must remember that we are the guardians of the world civilization of Zhoudao. "

"If the Kingdom of the Sun can always maintain its all-round leadership and provide these newly awakened ethnic groups with a suitable environment and opportunities, they will spontaneously move closer to the kingdom without forced orders. Just like the Yao people in the past."

"But if the Kingdom of the Sun does not make progress, loses its purpose of representing the interests of the vast majority of people, and is no longer the benchmark of this world civilization, we must also allow this country to decline and perish, just like the Zhouzhou people were replaced by the mermaids in the past."

"The sun will always rise, and there will be new ethnic groups to rewrite civilization. So, diversity should be something to be happy about, isn't it?"

The young god showed a sincere smile on his face.

Nefeli was stunned for a moment.

That's right.

I was too obsessed with the kingdom as the main body, but I forgot that the mission of the temple should be to guard the entire world of Zhoudao.

Look at it from another angle.

Whether it is Zhouzhou people, mermaids, camels or orcs, they are all investing in and expecting the future of the world.

They will be the supervisors and competitors of the kingdom. If the Redthorn Clan can no longer represent the most advanced civilization and culture in the world and can no longer solve the various problems facing this increasingly complex world, these up-and-coming people will naturally participate in the competition.

The Hundred Years Plan, it turns out that there is such a far-sighted strategy.

She bowed her head in admiration and said, "Your Majesty, you are indeed far-sighted."

"This is just the fur I learned from Lord Yao. Isn't Lord Yao the same way to treat the Yao Clan? Give them a fair chance, and leave the rest to them to compete for who represents the future of civilization."

The King of Light looked at the door of the hall in the distance: "I am worried about another thing now."

"Is the bird spirit still guarding the stargazing altar?"

Speaking of this, Nefeli's mood, which had just cleared up, began to rain again.

She spread her hands: "The bird spirit is still there, still the same, saying that an advanced civilization that also offers [Pottery Jar Burial] will arrive on Zhou Island within ten years."

When she first heard it, Nefeli was both excited and nervous, and organized the Sun Kingdom to prepare to welcome the visiting foreign friendly countries.

But every time ten years passed, nothing happened.

The bird spirit would say with some regret: "Maybe the direction is wrong, but they said that they will definitely arrive in the next ten years!"

Fourteen times in a row, the same plot every time, waiting for more than a hundred years, Neferi has become numb.

Even if the world is destroyed, it is not as torturous as this.
