Chapter 595: The Heart of the Entire Castel
and
Xiu Si suddenly recalled the "Mother" he summoned during the Blood Harbor Rebellion.
These creations of extraordinary powers seem to have a huge advantage only in terms of size, but are not truly free from the laws of physics.
The mountain-sized flesh and blood monsters are very powerful, but they are still carbon-based creatures and can still be torn apart by bullets and blown to pieces by bombs.
The steel ark under his feet was as huge as an island, but its sailing speed was still that of a sailing ship, which was totally unmatched by such a huge ship.
It always gives people a feeling of being powerful yet backward, as if a crossbow arrow was polished out of a chip.
It was as if the imagination was suddenly insufficient, and there was a sense of absurdity that the magic needle that stabilizes the sea would sink without a semi-trailer.
If the supernatural powers in this world are linked to idealistic will, then will there be a situation where the products of industry have exceeded the imagination of the supernatural beings, so these beings with supernatural powers are sometimes even inferior to them, mortals.
If the mortal kingdom has developed to the point where it is on par with the gods, then
Xius shook his head. There was no point in thinking about these things now. It would be better to develop well.
"Where is Richard?"
Hughes asked through the mind link.
"Here I am. Do you want him to come over?"
"bring it on. "
Soon, Richard appeared on the Ark. He bowed slightly to Hughes and said, "My Lord, you called me?"
"Yes, Richard, I have a task for you."
Hughes pointed at Gwen.
"You have a lot of scientific research projects on hand now, so take her with you to try."
Richard's eyes widened immediately: "My Lord, I remember that Gwen didn't seem to have received any systematic training, right?"
"Indeed, that's why I asked her to join your research."
"But if she doesn't understand the principle, it will lead to cognitive impairment."
Richard showed a look of realization and glanced at the iron ark under his feet.
"Gwen is unlikely to bring cognitive interference, so you want to borrow her supernatural power that makes your wishes come true?"
"That's not the case." Xius shook his head and looked serious. "I know that our scientific research is always hindered by inexplicable obstacles. This world seems to always hinder the progress of science and technology, but I don't think it's a good choice to completely lean towards idealism."
He pointed to the huge steel wheel beneath his feet.
"Look, this is a huge ship, almost as big as an island. We can't build one with our technology and the size of our dock. Such a huge warship should have a stronger combat capability, right? But its sailing speed is only five knots, which is still the level of a sailing warship."
Hughes's palms brushed across the rusted deck and the steam engine on the side of the ship.
"Look at these steam engines. There are so many of them on this ship. If we only take out one fifth, no, one tenth, of them, we can double the speed of this ship. But these steam engines are just for decoration. I can even feel the sigh of the machine spirits."
"You can indeed accomplish a lot of things with your own will, and you can even find some loopholes in this idealistic world to solve current problems, but I don't think this is a truly long-term solution."
"Without our own scientific system, the things we create will be like this steel ark. The squirming steel is very strange and intimidating, but it is no match for the simplest steam engine. We chose to develop science and technology, which is a tortuous and difficult route. It is almost against the whole world, but it can truly bring changes to the world."
How many years has the church ruled the world? Extraordinary powers come and go, and the knowledge sealed by the Candlelight Society fills up one library after another, but the world remains the same.
How many years had the Empire been producing steam engines? In the Rhine factories, workers were still dying. Hughes made only a few minor changes, but was killed by the church without trial.
If you obey this world, you can become strong; if you rebel against this world, you don't know how much it will cost.
Xius raised his head, the sea breeze blew up the corners of his clothes, but the determination in his eyes did not waver in the slightest.
From the very beginning, Caster had another choice. The hundreds of Banshees loyal to him, the extraordinary system and ritual knowledge of the Fire Moths, and the strange and powerful power of the Named One to distort reality, any one of these could become his reliance and make Caster powerful quickly.
But Hughes chose another path, a more difficult one.
He developed industry from scratch, worked hard to climb the technological ladder bit by bit, rejected the banshee's attempt to deify him, and gave up all shortcuts.
Supernatural power was at his fingertips, and if he wasn't careful the entire Castel would slide to the other end, but every time he was firmly held back by Hughes.
Zeus's gaze swept across the banshee beside him, across the Fire Moth's transcendent, and fell on the Crusader.
They are mortals, truly mortals, with no shared life link and no ability to forcibly change the laws of physics.
They are weak and ignorant, and even their studies cannot catch up with the intelligence of the banshees and the extraordinary ones. They seem to be inferior in all aspects.
But they built Castel, stuffed the invincible gods into the furnace, and raised new cities on the ruins. They changed the world with their own hands.
The steel of mortals tears the flesh of monsters, the furnace of mortals forges the bodies of gods, and Castel has always been a kingdom of mortals.
"Richard, humans can be trusted. Please trust humans. The power of the supernatural and the power of will can be utilized. Together, they constitute the laws of this world. But I believe that this world will eventually belong to mortals. They are the cornerstone of everything."
The boat was quiet, and there was a rare silence in the mental link. The banshees were creatures of the mind, and they were born to sense other people's emotions, not to mention Zeus who had signed a contract with them.
At this moment, every banshee felt the determination and the burning will in Zeus' heart. At this moment, the banshees closed their eyes together.
Telepathy, which used to be used only in times of war, was used by Banshees to resolve differences and quell disputes.
But this time, the banshees entered into telepathy without any quarrel, and it was led by Zeus - this seemed to be the first telepathy in history that was not led by the banshees.
Can the banshees understand the will of humans?
Yes.
Xius also slowly closed his eyes.
In just a moment, the same will echoed in different bodies, and soon, not only the banshee, but also the people on the boat, and even the people on Castel not far away, slowly closed their eyes.
