Chapter 698 Lu Yuan’s “Industrialization of Mythology”!
As Lu Yuan was answering, there was continuous applause in the Hall of Craftsmen.
The outside world's discussions are like a buzzing sound of bees.
He finally understood why the old cat submitted this paper. It turned out that it was to win higher reputation for mankind!
To be honest, reputation is an intangible asset that is accumulated bit by bit over the years of getting along with each other.
It is equivalent to a part of cultural soft power.
The spread of soft power will naturally bring more hidden benefits - after all, humans will be here for a long time, and the old cat is already making longer-term plans.
As for this paper... Hey, to put it bluntly, it's not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it's difficult for those who don't! Legendary extraordinary items are just the beginning of idealism.
If an article can accelerate the development of a civilization, then idealism would be too childish.
Of course, for most civilizations, such as level 2 or level 3 civilizations, master craftsman is already a very honorable status.
The article that Lu Yuan published was of great benefit to them.
What's more, the aliens of the Buzhou Alliance were also very happy. The publication of this paper meant that the legitimacy and stability of the "Alliance" had important support - the purpose of the alliance's existence was to provide a platform for fair development for all major civilizations.
The judges were very satisfied with what they heard. The last one, a bearded stranger, asked the last question: "Craftsman Lu, in this day and age, is it still necessary to forge higher-level items? For example, immortal-level and myth-level items?"
This question sounds a bit strange.
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Of course it is necessary! This strict hierarchical system is the common pursuit of many craftsmen. It is unwise to offend and abandon it."
The old alien straightened up and asked, "I think the hierarchy is out of date."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"Forging mythical items requires a large amount of precious materials and the highest level of inspiration. In today's world of booming idealistic industrialization, is it a waste of money and effort to deliberately pursue mythical equipment? And can traditional craftsmen, who pursue inspiration and create unique creations, compare to extraordinary creations that can be mass-produced?"
Things like photolithography machines and hydraulic presses cannot create myths even if idealistic technology is added.
Because items with similar functions have already been developed by our predecessors.
The appearance of a mythical item must be the first one in the creation of the world! This is actually a route dispute.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Do you think the appearance of the moon is a good thing or a bad thing?"
The old stranger couldn't help but stroke his beard. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to ask him back. He shook his head: "The moon... Of course it's a good thing."
He pointed to the sky and said, "But the moon is not mythical because it is too big and too complicated."
"The moon is made up of countless rocks, machines, and idealistic creations. Its size is so large that it exceeds the concept of mythology. Therefore, the 'moon' was not determined to be a mythical equipment by Pangu Continent. It is like an ordinary planet with no level."
"That's right." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "The moon's function clearly exceeds the myth level, but it is not judged as a myth. This shows that Pangu Continent's judgment mechanism has loopholes and can be bypassed."
"Based on this basic fact, your point of view is actually correct to a certain extent, but I don't completely agree with it."
"There are two different modes for the mythic items I'm after."
"The first is a true mythical item, which means the development of new rules. For every craftsman, forging a myth is the supreme honor and life pursuit."
"Idealistic industrialization is good, and it can greatly simplify the difficulty of creating idealistic items. But you have to know that the reason why the idealistic road has the word "idealistic" is that the biggest factor is still people. Once a craftsman becomes a screw in society, he will inevitably be lost in the crowd."
"Every civilization must give its craftsmen the opportunity to pursue excellence, so that there will be spiritual initiative."
"What's more, creating new myths can enrich the rules of the world and bring more miracles. If no one creates completely new rules, it will become stagnant over time."
His words really touched the hearts of many traditional craftsmen! Who doesn't want to use the best materials and challenge higher difficulties? However, this civilization is unwilling to invest! Once it fails, how many resources will be wasted? Some civilizations like to make small profits. When craftsmen have inspiration, they let them create some legendary items that have long been mature. Can a legendary item earn thousands of spiritual charm? With low R&D costs, it is naturally difficult to have new results.
Many strangers also held their breath, and some even raised their eyebrows involuntarily.
"Go on, just speak freely."
Lu Yuan added: "The second type is a supernatural creation whose function is not inferior to that of traditional 'myths', but has not been judged by Pangu Continent. Its function is greater than its level, which is also one of my life pursuits."
"The example of the moon proves that the 'industrialization of mythological objects' exists at the theoretical level."
“Field industrialization is also an example.”
"So I can make a bold conclusion that the method of mass-producing 'mythical' items does exist!"
"Of course, this is difficult. It may require very clever methods. And you have to at least create mythical items before you can find a way to industrialize it, right?"
"But as long as it is possible, we should not give up this more glorious future! What do you think, seniors?"
By the end he was even able to put some light into his own ideals. His voice became louder and his tone more contagious.
"You mean, my alliance needs to invest more in research and development of craftsmen?"
Lu Yuan said: "It's not just the alliance. I think every civilization should not only focus on immediate interests and ignore further cultivation."
"Legendary items are only the starting point of craftsmanship. Don't think that you can make money continuously by training a master craftsman. Such short-sighted behavior will only hurt yourself. The creation of a craftsman lies in challenging oneself and reaching new heights!"
The judges' panel was silent for a while. Everyone was shocked by Lu Yuan's empty promises and was speechless for a moment!
The turtle craftsmen couldn't help but laugh. Old Lu was still Old Lu.
In fact, the short-sightedness of the Buzhou Alliance is quite serious, even more serious than that of the North. The poor academic environment means that no matter how many craftsmen there are, it is difficult to put them to good use.
As for the rest of the strange people, like the Lu Shu civilization and the Bai Ze civilization, they all looked at each other, speechless.
They were not Lu Yuan's loyal allies, and they had no idea that the guy in front of them was a master craftsman, let alone the founder of field industrialization. They just thought that this guy was crazy and ambitious! And judging from his expression, he actually thought so. This was really crazy.
After a long while, the bearded man cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Lu is indeed very ambitious. I hope you can fully develop your talents on this path and reach a higher level!"
"Our questions are over. I hope you can spare some time to attend more exchange meetings."
Is this the end? No more questions? Lu Yuan felt a little unsatisfied and sighed softly. The live broadcast signal quickly switched to the second-ranked craftsman, and another group of judges asked various questions.
The ratings plummeted immediately. Most of the craftsmen were discussing Lu Yuan's recent remarks. No one paid any attention to the second place! The so-called second-ranked craftsman came from the smelting civilization. He felt that his brain was not working properly.
Even his fellow students weren't listening to his interview, but were discussing it frantically.
"This craftsman Lu Yuan is trying to get more research funding for us!"
"He's quite arrogant, but whether his talent can support his ambition is another matter."
"Do you know what his most proud work is?"
"There is no record in the database of the activities he participated in in recent years... Hey, is it only this time?"
The wave of public opinion was getting bigger and bigger. In a blink of an eye, the followers of the entire Buzhou Ruins began to discuss Lu Yuan's remarks! This guy simply appeared out of nowhere and became famous overnight! The humans cheered loudly. They thought it was natural for Commander Lu to behave like this! "If you knew that Commander Lu was the founder of field industrialization, I guess your eyes would pop out." Li Datie and other craftsmen kept applauding.
The judges began to whisper among themselves: "Friends of the Kamehameha civilization, you seem to be very optimistic about that person just now? Is he the number one craftsman in human civilization?"
"I've come into contact with it a few times, and it's really good." These turtle craftsmen were secretly delighted. What do you know? I'll scare you to death if I tell you.
"In fact, you have seen him before. He was the one who led the resistance during the Buzhou War."
“So that’s how it is!” Everyone’s faces turned serious. “That’s indeed a strong man with great ambition… He’s still alive, that’s great.”
Idealism is not about "how bold a person is, how productive he is" in the pure sense, but it also has to follow the Basic Law.
But there is also a basic rule: if you don’t even dare to think about it, then you will definitely not be able to do it!
A Bai Ze stranger said: "But he is talking too much about this topic. If he cannot ride the wind and waves and surpass the heroes in the future, I am afraid that there will be a lot of pressure from public opinion in the future."
"Once he encounters setbacks, others will think he is overestimating his abilities and there will be no way to communicate."
"Haha, don't worry. Among the 30,000 civilizations, not counting ancient people like you and me, is there any mythical grandmaster who will appear?" The craftsman of the Kamehameha civilization suddenly said.
"According to the information we have received so far, it seems that no one is willing to invest. They all feel that the myth is just like that and the cost performance is not high."
[Mythology·Xuluotu] is controlled by the Buzhou Alliance. It is the top-level space myth prop. In addition, there are some relatively inferior myth equipment that were actually destroyed by the hydrogen bomb.
"Haha, let's make a bet. Will Lu Yuan become the first mythical grandmaster?" The turtle man shook his head with curved eyes, looking quite funny.
The aliens still have some preferences, after all, they each support civilization. As for human civilization, it seems that only the Shumiba civilization supports it at present?
The bearded stranger looked thoughtfully at the moon in the sky.
"Then the investment fund for Lu Yuan..."
"Just follow the process."
…
…
"Old Lu, why are you talking so much? You've aroused widespread public opinion among major civilizations!" Old Cat called quietly again, "Who knows, someone might secretly say that you are overestimating your own abilities."
Lu Yuan said domineeringly: "In the field of craftsmen, whoever dares to provoke me in person, I will dare to fight him in person."
"You've been so wandering lately, are you sexually repressed? How long has Miss Conch been missing and she hasn't come home yet?" This old cat is like a cat that can't spit out ivory.
Lu Yuan said seriously: "Haha, since I'm already famous, I might as well become more famous. My great undertaking of 'myth industrialization' really needs to be put on the agenda and let everyone know about it."
“You don’t need the title of field industrialization, but I’ll take the title of the founder of myth industrialization.”
"Even if most of the comments are mocking and ridiculing now, so what? As long as we can achieve it step by step, the mockery can also turn into amazement."
"Are you really going to do it?" Old Cat realized that Lu Yuan was not joking and became serious again.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, on the one hand, the resources of the Qiankun world cannot be used by me alone, and must be converted into combat power on a large scale through industrialization."
"On the other hand, as long as I have the heart, the Greedy Demon's combat power will be increased again. I can bear this title."
Reputation has practical significance in Pangu Continent.
The greater the reputation, the less likely it is to be erased by concepts, and the easier it is to borrow the power of Pangu Continent.
The old cat thought about it and realized that although Lu Yuan looked careless, he was actually very smart. When had he ever suffered any loss?
So he changed the subject: "The bearded judge just now is the master craftsman of the Iron Key Clan. This race is searching for the [Original Myth]... Do you want to contact him?"
"Enjoy life, let's talk about it later." Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, and then replied, "The public opinion is boiling right now, and I don't want to add fuel to the fire."
"Plus, the war had just ended, so perhaps some mysterious gaze had been drawn here."
"We have to slow down and not be too hasty."
Well, Lu Yuan was indeed busy. The heart of the Greedy Demon God had not yet been forged, his combat power had not yet been maximized, and his wife also needed care. On the other hand, even if he got the so-called "key", he would not be able to reach the base camp of the Iron Key Clan in a short time as the space tunnel had not yet been dug. In fact, he was just anxious.
After finishing the call, Lu Yuan returned to the classroom.
"Teacher Lu, you are so handsome!" The children in the classroom screamed loudly, "Other craftsmen are not as ambitious as you!"
"They seem to be afraid of the judges, and all the judges are afraid of you!"
The children always hit the nail on the head and speak in a very straightforward manner.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but touch his chin. What do you mean by being afraid of the judges? It may be because I, Lu, have seen too many scenes - wait, this idea is too arrogant, I'm afraid it will teach the children bad habits.
So he coughed and sat up straight, "That's not the case... Teacher Lu is the commander-in-chief, he has to show up for all mankind, so he must have enough aura."
"You see, I study hard every day because I don't want to be left behind by others!"
"Otherwise, I can only be a mascot in human civilization. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to communicate with foreign countries?" He showed his biceps. "So you should study hard and reduce my burden when you grow up. You see, the strength of our competitors is also very strong. Our second-ranked craftsman only has more than 700 points."
"There are countless geniuses in this world. There are 30,000 civilizations. Even if each civilization has 10 million people, there are still 300 billion people. Who dares to claim that he is the smartest among 300 billion people?"
"There are only over 10 million people in Green City. If you become civilized diplomats in the future and travel all over the country, the number of people you have met once will not exceed 30 million."
Even though the kids were all young geniuses, they were still frightened by the huge number of 300 billion. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Even the very pretentious "Beitai" kid was just playing with his fingers.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Yuan smiled secretly, and stopped suppressing them and sent them back to the kindergarten.
"Come on, talented youngsters!"
…
And just like that, peaceful life continues.
Lu Yuan's "myth industrialization" speech was a hot topic for a while, but soon died down. There were too many civilizations gathered here, and new things happened every day. In addition, he was indeed the first in the craftsman assessment and had real talent and knowledge, so no one came to deliberately offend him.
Occasionally, craftsmen would come to visit, and Lu Yuan was happy to receive them. Some were good at socializing, some were looking for trouble, and some wanted to become famous.
The sea of people was endless, each one of them was beaming with joy, and then they waved their sleeves and left.
It is unknown how much truth or falsehood is said over the clinking of glasses.
On the contrary, the lives of genius children are more interesting. After being suppressed once, their tails will soon be raised up again, so Lu Yuan tries his best to suppress them the second and third time.
The process of raising a child is painful but also joyful, and the intrigues involved are difficult to explain to outsiders...
It was not until the third year and fourth month after Lu Yuan woke up that something big happened!
"After eight years of development, our Buzhou Alliance's [Large-Scale Space Tunnel Boring Machine Cooperation Project] has achieved initial success!"
"The successful construction of this instrument means that the excavation of space tunnels will be restarted." The then chairman of the alliance, Guiwu, delivered an important speech to all alliance members.
Behind him was a giant instrument that looked like a giant caterpillar one kilometer long with pointy horns.
This thing is the shell shed by the Weaver, an immortal-level material! !
After being found by the Buzhou Alliance, it took eight years to transform it into a [Space Tunnel Boring Machine] - this object was fully responsible for by the craftsmen of the Kame civilization, but Lu Yuan also participated in it. After all, the space glyphs he comprehended came from [Mythology·Immortal Palace], which had an unclear connection with the space tunnel.
The shape of this space tunnel boring machine is exactly the same as his [Earth Escape·Flying Shuttle]! (End of this chapter)
