Tuscany's civilization tree was undoubtedly skewed in the past.
Their previous lifestyle was characterized by a pursuit of quality, some of which was even somewhat extravagant, with many useless possessions, but insufficient attention to research into cutting-edge technologies.
Or perhaps it just hasn't come to that point yet.
However, based on the information we are gradually learning, this is also a race with a long history, but it stopped progressing after reaching a certain point.
In human terms, it's "lacking ambition," or rather, except in the arts.
The Azure People were different. Although they didn't have anything too high-end due to the lack of some accidental factors and differences in planetary elements, they still impressed Wu You in some aspects.
For example, the application and development of steam and small precision machinery are truly astonishing to humankind.
Of course, it's not that humans can't reach that level, but rather that humans are too preoccupied with their own advanced technology. To put it bluntly, if you have an internal combustion engine, you naturally won't overdevelop your steam engine.
In Wu You's view, the Tuscanyans and the Blue People have something in common: they both lack sufficient numbers of people.
The overall number of blue tamarins is due to the fact that after a female lays an egg, the survival rate of the egg is extremely low. Even if a dozen eggs are laid at once, often none of them will survive. Their fertility rate is still quite good, or even high.
Tuscany's problem was indeed its birth rate, and this devastation only exacerbated their already dire situation, causing their population to plummet to an all-time low.
Even with the addition of a very few survivors found in the wild or in special locations, the total number barely reached over ten thousand.
These 10,000 men, in the period that followed, armed themselves with weapons and equipment in some cities, and formed a "revenge army" of 6,000 young men and women.
They have an excellent grasp of new weapons, and their accuracy is generally above average. Several "techniques" have little effect on Tuscany.
However, some special techniques such as external martial arts and meditation flow of consciousness have taken on a new brilliance in Tuscany.
Meditation and stream of consciousness were originally a way to improve the mental and spiritual realm of martial arts masters. Some in Tuscany practiced it with only average results, just like humans, but those with good talent greatly enhanced their mental strength.
The Duan Ti Liu technique is even more bizarre, and Tuscany has an innate aversion to such aesthetically unappealing movements and self-torturing processes.
In Wu You and Syndra's opinion, their tribe had almost been wiped out, and they had just caught their breath, yet they still complained that this thing was ugly; they were simply out of their minds.
That's how it was in Tuscany. So after they figured out the principles of the Duan Ti exercise, they developed a series of new Duan Ti exercises that were even more aesthetically pleasing than gymnastics.
The combination of Tuscany's physical structure makes them more flexible, with excellent muscle elasticity, enhanced agility and jumping ability. Although their strength has also increased considerably, it is still insignificant compared to the external martial arts masters of the Eastern Realm who can kill a bull with a single punch.
However, the Tuscans were overjoyed because now, in one-on-one situations, even the beastmen who hadn't been frozen and stiffened could be defeated by their movement, and they could also suppress them from a distance with their bows and arrows.
The only major drawback is the sheer number of races; we simply can't afford to lose even one.
This also means that Tuscany cannot currently manage too much land. Apart from the soldiers constantly fighting in the War of Revenge, everyone else lives in the old capital that is being gradually cleared.
The lack of productive activity by the Wild Beast Clan meant that although the original crop fields were overgrown with weeds, the seeds scattered from spring to winter meant that there was still plenty of crop material that could be harvested.
That's more than enough to support at least 10,000 Tuscans.
They have much to do: clean up the city, restore production, and raise children.
The world is too big, and the wild beasts are everywhere like cockroaches; completely eradicating them is not a simple task.
In the fields, the Tuscans are working, and the soldiers have all returned.
They need to hurry up and harvest all the harvestable grain crops, remove weeds, peel the fruit, and then store them.
"Boom!"
In the distance, the great river roared, like a surging tide, with waves several meters high crashing against the shore.
Due to the different periods of their revolution and rotation, the two stars have moved to a special corner of the star system, where the environment on both planets is at its worst at this time of year.
Temperatures fluctuate wildly, the climate is unpredictable, and the number of natural disasters increases dramatically. Inland areas are somewhat better off, but coastal areas become completely dangerous zones.
This period is the "hibernation period" for Gemini animals. Before the hibernation period begins, all animals will collect food or fatten themselves up.
Ni Luya stood atop a spire in Zambelica, gazing at the distant scenery, where the low, rough forest to the east contrasted sharply with the towering giant forest to the west.
Because of the unpredictable changes in the environment of different areas every year, plants evolve towards two extremes: one is low, thick, and deep-rooted, and the other is huge, sturdy, and towering, occupying a large area and densely packed.
Once one of the two tree forms is established, the other plant will have difficulty surviving inside due to nutrient and underground space issues.
Of course, there are also environments like grasslands.
At this moment, the mournful howls of large wild beasts could be heard frequently from the giant forest on the west side.
Ni Luya only knew that the White Dragon King Syndra had been flying there recently, but she didn't know what the meaning of this strange wailing was.
It doesn't look like it's eating, otherwise, given the dragon's strength, what animal could howl for so long?
Whenever Ni Luya suggested going to see what Syndra was up to, Syndra would always give her a meaningful look and then refuse.
So what exactly is Syndra doing?
Only it and Wu You knew the answer: it was holding a giant beast that was nearly thirty meters long and engaging in the most primitive animal reproduction activity.
These behemoths are gentle herbivores that exist on both planets of the twin stars, and they are also the largest creatures in the world. Before the appearance of the Wild Beast Clan, few animals dared to mess with them.
Now there's another Syndra.
This outrageous behavior was not at Wu You's behest, but rather the frost dragon's own initiative. However, Wu You also bears some responsibility, because although his belief that dragons are inherently lewd was not prominent, it was clearly reflected in his thinking.
On Earth, and even in the Beast Mountain region, the largest creatures discovered so far are either elephants or whales from the sea. This six-legged, long-necked behemoth on Gemini is the only animal that can barely "bear" the weight of a dragon.
Syndra had her eye on this animal the first time she saw it.
At this moment, Wu You felt an even stronger desire to create several female dragons. Presumably, the black dragon Modiris also had this problem, but the black dragon was in a more "difficult" situation. There were no suitable ones on Earth or in the Eastern Realm. He couldn't very well take advantage of his fellow alchemical creatures.
To be honest, those that reach that size are all high-level creatures of the Silver rank or above, and there are very few that can defeat them. Moreover, most of them are male or asexual.
