Chapter 3224: Harvesting the Future and Repairing the Vision

The next day, the sun rose, and the temporary camp on Elan's side had already started to get busy. Humans, elves, and a small number of dwarves could be seen walking everywhere.

When Shado turned around and realized that the avatar saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that the elves were not really slow, but the matter did not touch their own interests. Once it touched, they might be more impatient than humans.

The most common thing that elves despised about humans was that they thought humans were in a hurry to do everything, and that humans always liked to ask questions, while elves were good at understanding by themselves after a long period of observation and listening.

But in Shado's view, these were more of a true portrayal of the atmosphere of magic exchange between Netheril and the elven world in the past. At that time, Netheril was determined to make progress and did not avoid communication. On the contrary, the elven world was rigid internally. Even the teaching between teachers and students used the method of long-term observation and letting students understand by themselves, which was actually the most conservative embodiment.

As for the leisure at other times, it was just that the ancestors developed and accumulated for these descendants of elves.

If these elves and humans were allowed to develop from scratch at the same time, Xia Duocai would not believe that the elves could still be so leisurely!

From the perspective of individual intelligence, elves are not smarter than humans. The so-called wisdom is more of the experience accumulated naturally from their long lifespan. If humans can live that long, they will not be inferior to elves.

In fact, due to their long lifespan, elves do not even care about the mental growth of the next generation. They let them grow on their own, so that generally speaking, elves have to be at least 25 years old to reach the mental state of a 16-year-old human child.

It is not that they cannot be advanced, but the environment makes them have no motivation to advance. For evidence, you can refer to their underground relatives, the drow, who basically start to breed the next generation at the age of 25, and breed once every 25 years until death.

It is also because of this extremely extreme strategy in the eyes of the surface elves that the drow can occupy a dominant position as a foreigner in the harsh dark region.

If the surface elves also start from the age of 25 and give birth once every 25 years, then there may be no other intelligent races in the main plane.

But what is the actual situation?

Most elves give birth for the first time after they are 100 years old, and many only give birth once in their lifetime. Large families may have more children if they have property to inherit, but there is no need for the middle and lower classes. Many elves even remain single and childless for life.

This situation is a bit similar to the continued decline in fertility rates in developed countries on Earth. If this continues, how can the elf world not decline!

The drow, like the underdeveloped human race in the Black Continent, maintains the survival of the race with a super high fertility rate, because if it does not maintain such a high fertility rate, the harsh environment, war, and killing in the Dark Region would have made the drow extinct long ago.

However, after the establishment of the Northern Alliance, exchanges between countries in the North have become more and more frequent, and accordingly, there has been more and more healthy competition, which has also caused the elves to change their past leisurely attitude and begin to face up to their own development.

If this state can be maintained, it may take hundreds of years to reach the level before the Crown War instead of a thousand years. If it is accelerated, it is not impossible to surpass the ancestors.

Of course, in this process, humans are also developing. According to Xia Duo's expectations, as long as he is given a hundred years, any crisis in the main plane can be easily resolved, and even exploring the other planes and connecting to foreign lands is not impossible.

Unfortunately, time is still too tight.

Even if he wants to speed up, it is difficult to change the whole world. From the fastest plan he has personally practiced, it is to find a projection plane with a longer duration and develop magic civilization in it.

Then, by leaving and re-entering, jump a long time span and go directly to the future of the projection plane, just like what Xia Duo did in the Red Heart Alliance before. He first established the Red Heart Alliance, arranged the development plan, and then jumped time to the future.

??????????.??????

In this way, a large number of mature advanced technologies of this system can be obtained from the "future", just like the maze lock technology brought back by Xia Duo, the elemental composition of fine gold, customized arcane fire, spiritual network improvement, arcane string improvement, half-plane transformation, etc.

There are too many, which can be called the essence of an entire civilization.

But——

This is not a conventional optional development plan.

The reason is very simple. First of all, it is the uncertainty of the projection plane itself. Who can guarantee a stable projection plane that lasts long enough?

Secondly, it is the uncertainty of civilization development. The Red Heart Alliance was because Xia Duo was lucky. In addition, the situation was special. The demons were not tolerated by the normal society and could only develop independently. Therefore, the projection plane basically developed according to the future he planned, but other situations may not be the case.

As long as there is communication with other forces, it will inevitably be affected. There are also changes in the ruling class itself (degeneration or change of path), which are all uncertain factors.

Even Xia Duo himself cannot guarantee that he can replicate the situation of the Red Heart Alliance next time.

In addition, the future of the projection plane will not exceed the current timeline of the main plane at the longest. This is determined by the nature of the plane. In simple terms, when the projection plane develops to the same level as the main plane timeline, it will inevitably return to the abyss.

The upper limit of development has been fixed from the beginning.

The last one is a non-external reason. Xia Duo couldn't bear to watch the civilization he had personally supported eventually fall to ruin. He felt that if he saw this situation too much, he might become cold-blooded and indifferent to everything.

So unless it was particularly necessary, he would not repeat the old story of the Red Heart Alliance.

However, Xia Duo didn't have to worry about others using this method to overtake him. In fact, other people were using this method. He knew that there was Wade.

The other party's method was to let multiple experimenters enter the same projection plane at intervals. In fact, these people would appear in different eras in the projection plane.

In this way, a single experimenter would not have to stay in it for too long and lose too much of his life. All they need to do is find the information left by the experimenters before their own era and leave information for people in the later era.

In this process, you should also try to record valuable information, and then after weighing the loss of life, you can consider leaving the projection plane, or simply stay. The latter is generally when the life is about to end, and stay in the projection plane to live another life.

Compared with Xia Duo, the advantage of this exploration process is that it has no requirements for the projection plane, and any projection plane can be explored.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, it consumes too much time for the experimenters! Moreover, the efficiency of collecting data and bringing back information is also very low, and relevant personnel need to write it down before bringing it back.

Unlike Xia Duo, he can directly use the real carrier brought over from the main plane, record it in the projection plane, and then bring it back. It can be said that as long as Xia Duo can access as much information as possible, he can get as much information later, and the efficiency is much higher than that of Wade's people.

Among them, the portable space plays a huge role.

Even if you encounter some special items, you can directly materialize them through the portable space and bring them back to the main plane, while Wade's exploration method can only harvest information, not physical objects.

At the same time, Wade's method is also destined that the people he sends out will basically not have too high-level spellcasters, so as to prevent the experimenters from getting adventures in the projection plane and threatening themselves.

Low-level mages can only play a role in guiding the development of civilization by providing some insights when entering the projection plane, and they cannot play a decisive role like Xia Duo did in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance. Therefore, the probability that a low-cost mage can guide a powerful civilization is very low.

This method is not the right way. Although Xia Duo does not look down on it completely, he is not too worried that others will use this method to surpass him.
