Chapter 326: Evan's Completion Plan
The 100-meter-high pyramid is made of 2 million huge rocks. It is difficult to imagine how people built it 5,000 years ago. No wonder it is called the most famous wonder of the world.
This is a symbol of royal power and was built with the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of slaves. It is a pity that people only remember its master but forget its maker. The evil feudalism has drained the people of their hard work.
Jiang Ping walked in with the tourists beside him. He cast an [Expelling Curse] on himself, which was a mental suggestion to make people ignore him. Through this, he carefully discovered the places in the pyramid that were not allowed to be visited.
Generally speaking, the damage is very great. After all, it has been five thousand years, and the wind and sand are constantly blowing. In recent years, tomb robbers led by the West have euphemistically called it "archaeology" and "adventure". Haha, your archeology company ran away carrying someone else's mummy coffin. ?
"These four painted lime jars should be the internal organs of the pharaohs. I have to say that because of the pursuit of immortality, ancient Egypt was very good at preserving corpses." Jiang Ping exclaimed. Immortality is engraved deep in human genes. The ultimate pursuit.
The people of ancient Egypt believed that there was a world after death, called the underworld, and that the Pharaoh could still rule his kingdom in the underworld after death. In this regard, they had the same idea as the emperor in the East who lived through the ages.
The pharaohs' corpses were so well preserved that all the brains and internal organs were dug out and made into mummies, so that the pharaohs could one day return from death and be resurrected.
"Soul? Consciousness is the most important thing that determines living things, but the body is also the basis of everything. How can an unyielding soul be bred without a strong body?" Jiang Ping thought of the lost Ivan civilization and how it could finally reach the goal. That step is up to them.
"Plop."
At the other end of the house, Little Golden and Little White are swimming restlessly. Under the fish tank, the seaweed is shaking~~. Their dull minds think that the house is so quiet. Where is the owner who always likes to tease it?
On the low-latitude Gaia star, sturdy ancient beasts were running through the forest. They knew that as long as they avoided those metal cities, there would be no danger.
The big cities with white-haired people are no longer noisy as before, and the broad streets are empty of people. There are layers of dust accumulated, and only the routine psychic dolls will occasionally clean them.
The stores on both sides were closed, and even the school was silent. The most important Academy of Sciences was also silent. Except for the few hundred guards stationed necessary, the entire city was silent.
"Ah~~"
The guards were also absent-minded, yawning, and thinking about when they would take over from get off work and go home and enter "Virtual Gaia" to enjoy themselves.
In reality, he is still a hard-working low-level employee who is not looked down upon by people. Although he cannot starve to death, he cannot survive.
It is difficult to find a beautiful white-haired wife, and he can only deal with it with a simple [*Love Doll]. But in the virtual world, 100% immersed, he can do whatever he wants, can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, become the king of a country, and rule the world. Thirty million in the harem, and the iron rod is ground into a needle.
Basically, you can find all the enjoyment and entertainment you can imagine inside. The five senses such as taste, touch, and smell are 100% real, and you can feel it by inputting specific mental signals.
The lack of class circulation and the confusion of the future have caused the entire Ivan clan to immerse themselves in "Virtual Gaia". In reality, their bodies are constantly deteriorating. There are also knowledgeable people who realize that entertainment for all will lead to death, but as mentioned before, In the face of an irresistible trend, what effect does a very small number of voices of resistance have?
The last time they killed randomly, destroyed the natural order, and made the gods appear. This time they didn't destroy the outside world, so they wouldn't get into trouble, right? This is what the elite of the white-haired people think. There is no hope of breaking through to the god level anyway, so they might as well enjoy life.
When scientific researchers first created the virtual world, they actually wanted to better study the rules and figure out the secret of god-level assimilation, but things turned out to be the opposite later.
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Have you forgotten the oath you made when you first created "Virtual Gaia"?
Didn’t we agree to dedicate our lives to the great Ivan civilization? Study the secret of being assimilated to a god-level? How come everyone is immersed in games and entertainment like ordinary people? !
In reality, we are already superior to others, but we still lack such pursuit? Don’t you feel that every time you log off, you are faced with the cold reality and feel nothing but emptiness and coldness? ! "Wang Ze, a young researcher, shouted at his compatriots in the Academy of Sciences.
In front of him were fellow researchers who had weak bodies, dull hair, and could hardly open their third eyes. They were about to degenerate into pineal glands. The colleagues grinned palely, and one of them said:
"You don't know that we have found something more fun. You are so tough when you lift your pants now because you are tired of playing ordinary game life. We found that we can use mental power to shield our cognition and memory, and wait until the game is cleared. Then, I wake up at the end, so it feels fresh every time.”
GHS is the first driving force, a good scientific research artifact, a collective subconscious mental computer, and the virtual universe has become the most powerful entertainment tool.
"You're insulting me! Do you think everyone is like you and just wants to have fun?"
Wang Ze wanted to scold loudly like this, but adhering to the principle that science requires practice, he still followed what his colleagues said, shielded part of his memory, and entered the omnipotent "Virtual Gaia" just like the first time. This step was to step into the infinite. bottom abyss.
"It smells so good." Ruoyuewujian, others heard this sentence.
Entertainment for all, time travel for all, in the "Virtual Gaia" that can be mistaken for the real thing, few people can stick to their original intentions, just like drugs, once you get addicted, you can't escape in the end, unless you don't touch it from the beginning.
If the researchers could set the strongest rules to constrain people when they first developed "Virtual Gaia", maybe they wouldn't have come to this point in the end.
But unfortunately, the researchers did not expect to be addicted, but they thought it was only a minority, and the self-control of the white-haired people would easily break through the temptation of virtual entertainment, but they didn't know that sometimes you can't test human nature.
As long as you are unhappy in reality, you can find satisfaction in the virtual world. In addition, there is no sense of threat in reality. They are the first batch of intelligent creatures, and the entire Gaia has been purged by them. There is no other strong race that can replace them.
In addition, with the rigid class structure and no way to evolve, more and more people are addicted to Virtual Gaia all day long. Even King Taro of each generation no longer wants the throne. In just one year, three kings stepped down, left it to their sons, went to sleep, and their souls entered Virtual Gaia to live a peaceful old age. Please, they are only 50 years old, in their prime.
"Ouch!"
Outside the steel city, the ancient beasts are living happily, feeling that there are fewer threats from the terrible short men. They fly freely in the sky, run wildly on the land, and wander in the ocean.
Nature seems to have returned to the beginning, but the scattered silent cities still announce the existence of the Evan civilization. Their time stopped when they created Virtual Gaia, which is out of tune with the vibrant surrounding nature.
A hundred years have passed, and Gaia is full of vitality. The scars destroyed by the white-haired people have been repaired by time and can no longer be seen. However, in the eyes of the ancient beasts, the metal cities that symbolize the forbidden land have become rusty, and it seems that no one has repaired them for a long time.
Now the 99th generation of Taro King Austin is different from the previous kings. He seems to be ambitious and can resist the temptation of "Virtual Gaia" and expand his territory in reality. There are only 2 billion people in the Evan Federation now, and this is because a large number of new people have been cultivated using artificial technology, otherwise there will be even fewer.
After enjoying virtual entertainment, the white-haired people are not very interested in the human-making movement. Every time they go offline, they feel inexplicably anxious, or enter the sage time. How can this increase the fertility rate?
Civilization is stagnant again, or even retreating, and the tribe is becoming increasingly scarce.
"My people don't want to have children, and we don't even want to have children. If this continues, one day in the future, we may be in danger of extinction when we encounter a huge crisis."
In the tallest and most glorious white church in Ivan, Austin, the 99th King of Taro, said in front of an ancient stone tablet.
Next to him was another white-haired man in a white priest's robe. He was the current chief researcher Blake. Blake did not answer King Taro's words, but looked at the seed of their civilization, the [Prophet's Holy Monument] known as the holy relic.
This church is called "Saint Taro Cathedral", and the most precious thing enshrined in it is this holy monument, as well as a ten-meter-high statue of the Creator of Light in the center of the church, which is as holy as jade and constantly radiates the light of hope.
"Did the prophet really know so much back then? If it weren't for this holy monument, I really doubt that he was deified by later generations. The prophet once left a will that he would come back one day, hoping to meet us white-haired people at that time. His words are to hope that our civilization will last forever."
Blake has three wise eyes. His third eye talent is [Exploration], which keeps him on the path of pursuing the truth and never gets lost.
"Remember the God of Light Creator who inspired the whole tribe back then? The universe is huge, but our Ivan civilization has stagnated. Do you have any good way to solve the current predicament?" King Austin asked Blake.
These two knowledgeable people are worried about the country and the people, and are looking for a way out for the confused Ivan civilization. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, especially now, if he dares to take measures to forcibly cut off people from entering Virtual Gaia.
Haha, the palace will catch fire the next day, and the angry people should drag him out and light a sky lantern, and then elect a new archon.
Blake pondered and said, "Hope, our Evan civilization needs hope, whether it is evolution or social system."
"Hope?" King Austin muttered strangely to himself, looking at his increasingly weak body, he pondered.
"Father, take me out of the city for a walk."
Suddenly, a little guy jumped out from a dark corner of the church. This was a little white-haired man who was only 30cm tall, with a head of hair jumping up and down. The strangest thing was that his third eye was closed.
Austin impatiently threw his hand and threw his useless son to the ground. It was just because he was born with a defect and had no talent, and could not enter "Virtual Gaia", so he chatted with him for a while. I didn't expect that he really thought he was favored now.
"Useless waste, get out!"
King Austin's words scared Prince Louis. He fell to the ground, cried with a wow, and ran out of the church. The psychic doll next to him quickly chased him.
Blake asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate for the little prince? There are only a few royals who are not addicted to virtual reality."
"Humph, this incomplete Louis can't even open his third eye, his mind is mutated, and he has no innate superpowers. He is simply a disgrace to my reputation. He can't even enter Virtual Gaia."
King Austin shook his head in extreme disappointment, not wanting to admit that the mutant white-haired man was his son.
"Let's discuss the topic just now. How can we save the Evan civilization and find hope?"
Blake pinched his body and suddenly asked: "King, have you ever seen the soul-transforming plan written by an ancestor?"
Austin's three eyes shrank, "You mean the whole tribe is soul-transformed, transformed into a whole, abandoning the flesh, working together, without class distinction, one tribe for one person, all beings are equal?"
"Wow——"
The injured little prince Louis was crying on the quiet street, followed by a doll mother who had been following and taking care of him.
Out of the city gate, Louis stepped into the green land outside. The air around him was fresh, ancient trees were towering, and there were birds singing and beasts roaring. The lively primeval forest made Louis forget the cold city.
He was physically disabled and couldn't even open his third eye. He had no talent and was ridiculed and bullied by his brothers and sisters. Fortunately, the focus of others was on "Virtual Gaia", otherwise his childhood would be even more miserable.
"Doll mother, why do you think so many people like to sleep? Is that "Virtual Gaia" really so fun?"
Beside a small lake, young Louis asked with tears in his eyes. He was created by Austin Mirror and the eggs of other outstanding royal women in an incubator. For him, this doll that has always protected him is his mother.
This doll is dull, but powerful. She opened and closed her mouth woodenly and said:
"Everyone can realize their dreams in "Virtual Gaia", which is something that can never be achieved in reality. As long as you are dissatisfied with reality, you will be addicted to it. Little Louis, you are lucky not to enter the virtual world."
Prince Louis was confused. His little head was puzzled and he didn't understand the adults' affairs. He simply lay on the green ground and quietly enjoyed the birdsong and flowers and the blue sky.
"Ouch, it hurts." Suddenly he felt something stabbed his back, and the doll mother next to him came over to help.
"Huh? What kind of gold is this? Why is it so strange, like a hook?"
When Louis saw what the doll mother took from his back, he immediately asked in confusion.
The doll mother also had three eyes, imitating the white-haired man. Digital symbols flashed through her three eyes, and she searched the database. "This should be a fish hook. In the ancient times of our white-haired people, many people had made it, but I have never heard of using gold as a fish hook. It may be left by a member of the royal family in the Middle Ages."
Louis became curious. Anyway, no one in the city wanted to play with him, so he simply picked up the golden fish hook and went to the physical library and the empty research institute to find out the origin of this golden fish hook. It might be a historical relic.
Two years later, with the help of the doll mother, Louis borrowed a geological probe and finally learned that the history of this golden fish hook was very long, even before the beginning of their civilization, even before the oldest prophet!
Were there any intelligent creatures at that time? Could anyone make such a clever golden fish hook? Or was it just an accident, forged by the magic of nature?
"This was forged in the blank ancient period after the catastrophe of the beginning and before the prophet!" Finally, Louis made a conclusion.
"If it's not man-made, then could it be Him?" Louis said to himself, while the doll mother beside him watched silently.
Finally, he decided to take a risk and use a more advanced psychic tracker to see the historical scene of casting this golden fishhook.
"Ah!"
However, he ventured into the Academy of Sciences, but in the end he did not find out the origin of this golden fishhook. Instead, he screamed and fell to the ground, as if he had been attacked inexplicably.
Drops of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. He was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly fled with pain. Fortunately, because most people were immersed in the virtual world, and the king had recently summoned researchers to do something big, no one could find his little move.
That night, little Louis had a dream. He seemed to see vaguely that on the green grass, even the ancient beast had not been born, there was a vague, glowing person sitting by the lake fishing. He wanted to see the truth, but the more he looked, the clearer it became.
In his dream, he did not realize that his third eye, which had not been opened since he was born, had secretly opened a crack, and the Milky Way was shining brightly, reaching the sky and the earth.
On the same night, deep in the palace, King Austin laughed and celebrated with the chief researcher Black, "We succeeded! We will become the greatest contributors to the Evan civilization! We will become the God of Evan! Haha."
Blake also laughed. This is a grand plan, a project that affects the entire Evan civilization. The scale and far-reaching impact surpass the creation of "Virtual Gaia".
Under their feet, on the densely packed drawings and the complex plan composed directly of mental power beating, the top reads: "Evan Completion Plan"
PS: I'm sure no one can guess what the next chapter is about, hehe.
