Chapter 680 The Future in the Distance
Sky, Silver Bird Courtyard.
Wind chimes blew through the dome, Celitia flapped her wings and passed through the glass corridor, slowly landing.
"You're back so soon, Celitia." The blonde woman smiled and welcomed Celitia.
"Because I encountered a special situation." Celitia came to the blonde angel and told her what she had seen and heard during this period.
"I didn't expect her to be so special." Listening to Celitia's description, the blonde woman nodded slightly.
"Her methods and ideas are very mature, and it doesn't seem like she figured it out on her own."
"We also detected the mechanical cluster you encountered yesterday. Considering that your strength is enough to protect yourself, we didn't notify you specifically."
"That's not important." Celitia didn't care. With her strength, it was still easy to get away from those mechanical clusters.
"It's just that I want..." I originally wanted to tell the manager of the Silver Bird Court about the idea of inviting Tilan, but now she hesitated because she knew that this suggestion was indeed a bit presumptuous, but thinking about the time they spent together, Celitia still wanted to give it a try.
"Here's the thing..." She talked about her idea of getting Tilan to join the Silver Wings.
But before she could finish, the other person's finger gently pressed on Celitia's lips.
"You've crossed the line, Celitia." The other person smiled and stopped Celitia from explaining.
"I understand your feelings, but this is impossible."
"Even if the other party is exceptionally good, we can't easily accept it. This is not something you and I can decide."
"The technology of gene conversion is not stable, especially for grown lives. In addition, why do you think that the other party is completely on our side? You trust the other party too much."
"Don't be confused by outsiders on the ground, Celitia. The other party has only known you for two months. You don't have to go to such lengths."
"We Silver Wings have leading technology and strength, but we can't say we can rest easy. Those patrolling mechanical clusters are still our biggest enemies. Exposing the location of the Silver Bird Court and other sky courtyards to outsiders is a very risky behavior. You are risking the future of the entire race on your personal emotions, which is not advisable." She taught Celitia.
"Fortunately, you didn't lose your mind and brought him back, but I'm going to put you in solitary confinement this time and forbid you from going down to the mortal world again."
"Reflect on it for a while first, and write down your experiences during this period when you have time, and keep a record." As he spoke, the Lord of the Silver Bird Court summoned two other Silver Wing Angels, took Celitia to the library where she used to live, and temporarily sealed the library.
Celitia had no choice but to obey this arrangement and was taken to the library where she usually lived.
After Celitia left, the blonde returned to the place where she usually discussed and worked with everyone.
"Celitia was too deeply confused, and even had many extra thoughts and emotions."
"Don't be too harsh on her, after all, she is still young and has not experienced the cruel war." Several other older Silver Wing women pleaded for her.
"Yes, during the years when she was born and grew up, we have maintained a balance with the mechanical race for a long time, and there has been no fierce battle."
"However, from the recent reports from various places, it seems that the Slami Association has gradually grown. They have completed the initial unification of the southern continent and started to develop industry and popularize education."
"If they are given another 50 years, our sky garden will probably be exposed to the satellites they launch."
"Do we need to launch a destruction operation against the Slami Association?"
"Even if we want to learn lessons from the development of various races, we can't just sit back and watch them grow to be on par with us."
"I need to discuss this with the other courtyard masters." The blonde woman supported her chin and thought.
"Their power is already not small. If we really want to launch an operation, it will be carried out by several courtyards together, so as to ensure that it is handled cleanly."
"After destroying their living forces, wake up the sleeping insects and let them clean up the battlefield. It's best to clean up the traces, just like dealing with the butterfly species in the past." "
Understood, I will contact other sky courtyards now." Then the people around the blonde woman dispersed and began to act.
The blonde woman who stayed in the star-gazing space stood in the huge glass lens and leaned against the railing, overlooking the land shrouded in the night below, with sporadic lights flickering.
"Heshia... What a special girl, even Celitia believed in you so quickly. Which sacred sun's follower are you? Such a strong spiritual appeal and knowledge reserve are not the talents that ordinary people should have." She said to herself with emotion.
"However, even if you are a favored one, you can't contact the sacred sun outside, because this planet is the cradle specially built by Her Majesty Xi Evlian for us Silver Wings."
"One day, our Silver Wings will welcome a brand new sun again." She pressed her chest with one hand and said slowly.
…………
Back to the grassland where the Star Chasing Covenant is located, during this period of time, a small number of mouse-eared people have migrated here. Because of Tilan's advance instructions, the reception work in the base went smoothly.
A small number of members stayed behind, while more people continued to head west under the guidance of the patrol cavalry, heading for the fertile grassland irrigated by the river. There was a vast expanse of land there, and water conservancy facilities were being built, so there was a great shortage of manpower.
"Go this way, remember to tell me if you want to buy something on the road, don't take it carelessly, otherwise you will be punished..."
On the pavilion, Tilan finished her official business for the day, and heard the voices coming from the street downstairs. She stood up, opened the curtains a little, and watched a group of mouse-eared people walking below.
After a long journey of nearly a month, these mouse-eared people finally came to a place where they could rest. They were covered with frost, and their hair and clothes were covered with a lot of dust and stains. Their short stature made them feel restrained and timid when walking on the busy streets.
Fortunately, the leader was a local mouse-eared guide who was familiar with the environment. He skillfully introduced the environment to these new companions and told them all the things they needed to know about living here.
"If you want to make money, you can go to the public hall in the north of the city to find a job. There will usually be notices posted there, and people will go there to recruit workers."
"Remember to sign a contract there before taking the job, so that you will be guaranteed by the Star-Chasing Covenant."
"If you are hungry, you can go to the tent area to get the most basic porridge. If you want to eat better, you can go to the bakery to buy food. The bread there is very fragrant and filling. It is also great for storing food. I usually go there."
"Go to the bathhouse to take a shower. Three buckets of water there only cost two star coins."
"It's troublesome to get sick because there are not many doctors in the city at present. Many of them are temporarily taught and trained by Miss Heshia."
"But don't be afraid. If the situation is serious, Miss Heshia will assist the medical station to deal with it. Her medical skills are famous throughout the grassland. It is said that even the dead can be pulled back from the grave. Our legendary Knight Commander was resurrected in this way." Speaking of this, the mouse-eared tribe was obviously a little adoring and excited.
"Lady Hyacinth is now our leader. She is also the captain of the city's disciplinary forces, maintaining law and order. With her around, even our mouse-eared tribe, others dare not bully us." "
So powerful, Lord Hyacinth."
"Is it the leader of the Guard Knights, Lord Hyacinth?"
"That person used to be a celebrity in the kingdom, and now he is also our hero." Hearing the name of Hyacinth, these mice also felt longing and gradually let go of their worries and fears about this new place.
"Yes, yes, it's her." The mouse-eared tribe leading the way was also quite proud.
Seeing them walking further and further away on the street, Tilan lowered the curtains and returned to her desk.
During this period, everyone's work has gradually been on track, and she has been relieved a lot. Everything has become quite comfortable.
However, it has been more than half a month since Celitia left. I don't know how she is doing after returning to the Silver Wings. Could it be that she was blamed by the elders at home? Even if Celitia was blamed by the elders, the punishment should not be too severe, so there is no need to worry too much about this.
After putting these thoughts aside, Tilan was thinking about what to eat tonight. Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened and Loloria rushed in with Orles.
"Tilan, Tilan~" Loloria excitedly held a pottery jar.
"See? This is honey. Orles and I just harvested it from the beehives on the farm."
"It's incredible that those little bees can actually make such golden and sweet food. I read in the information that if honey is properly preserved, it will almost never deteriorate. Doesn't it mean that it can be stored forever? Buried in the ground like this, even if I sleep for a thousand years, I can still take it out and eat it." Lololia excitedly introduced the amber honey in her arms to Tilan.
Considering that the lives of residents need some food to adjust, Tilan asked someone to try raising bees to make honey some time ago, and finally got some results this month.
Tilan took the honey pot handed over by Lololia, scooped out some with a spoon to examine it carefully, and also dipped a little with her fingers to taste it.
The sweetness of the nectar melted in the mouth, but there was still a slight astringency, probably because the flowers and plants here are in average condition and are also contaminated with some toxins.
He tilted his head and thought about it, thinking that this matter could not be rushed. Only after a large amount of purification of the environment can there be high-quality nectar.
The taste will be better after using the purification crystal, Tilan told Lololia and Orles, and then the two of them held the honey pot and excitedly went to find the rhythm purification crystal that Tilan had stored.
Seeing Orles and Lololia's happy appearance, Tilan also felt a little relieved. During this period, she had a lot of work and could not accompany Orles every day, so Lololia usually took Orles to play around. As a mobile encyclopedia, Lololia also popularized a lot of common sense to Orles, saving her a lot of energy.
…………
In October, the climate on the grassland gradually turned cooler, and the crops that should be harvested were almost harvested. The barns and warehouses were piled with grain and straw. Whenever everyone passed by and saw the full reserves, they felt an indescribable sense of steadiness and peace of mind.
The shortage of food has always troubled the people on this land. There are very few times when everyone can eat enough. Even those powerful settlements cannot easily waste food.
"Come on, stop looking, there will be food for you." An elderly resident patted the new young man and took him to the public hall in the north of the city to find work for today.
On this day, a notice was posted in the hall, and many people gathered here to watch.
"Lady Heshia has issued an order to build 300 warm houses with heated kangs before winter. Now we are recruiting workers from the city residents. Each person can get 60 star coins per day. If they do a good job, there will be extra pay."
"Wow, 60 star coins, so generous."
"After all, it's official, and it's an order signed by Lady Heshia herself."
At present, the residents in the city can live very well with 20 star coins a day. They have food to fill their stomachs, can live in a safe bunk house, and can take a bath. The general remuneration for recruitment is between 30-40 star coins.
Many residents and vagrants signed up enthusiastically to compete for the recruitment quota this time, and the whole public hall was very lively.
On the third floor, Tilan listened to the voices coming from downstairs. There were several other people in the room responsible for public management affairs.
"There are quite a lot of people. We should be able to prepare before winter this time."
"Your Highness, the charcoal firewood you mentioned before is also being prepared. We have built three charcoal factories in the northern forest area. They have started operation one after another, and they are transported to the city by carriage every two days for storage."
"Very good." Tilan nodded slightly.
"The population in the city is not large at present. In a few years, I am afraid that charcoal will not be available." This planet is not the earth. It has not experienced the era of plant explosion and has no coal seams and minerals. If it wants to continue to develop in the future, it can only use nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower.
With the increase in population, various needs and projects began to be put on the agenda. From scratch, the accumulation of personnel and technology, the expansion of cities and satellite bases, all made her understand the context of civilization development more and more clearly, instead of the rough handwriting in the books in the past.
In the past, the prosperity of the central star field was far better than that of the local star fields, which was also because it had various advantages and enriched the resources of various regions. From the perspective of the federation as a whole, this improved efficiency and reduced costs after concentrating industries. However, from a regional perspective, this also led to imbalances in various star fields, gradually widening the gap. Over time, the excessive gap between the rich and the poor gradually accumulated contradictions.
It is not easy to solve this problem. Tilan can be said to have experienced the dilemma of those economists. Forced split control will inevitably lead to rising costs and corporate dissatisfaction. However, if it is ignored, the imbalance in various regions will eventually lead to unrest similar to that in the western star region.
This is still a rough division of star fields. When it comes to each planet and each region, there will be such a gap.
It is impossible to completely eliminate the gap, but she still thinks that it should be possible to reduce the gap as much as possible and bridge the cracks within the country and civilization. To change this dilemma, the only way to change the existence of human society is to fundamentally change the form of existence of human society. This is also what Tilan secretly envisions in her mind.
Since there are extraordinary abilities, extraordinary races will inevitably be born, and finally there will be an extraordinary society that completely jumps out of the original framework.
Patching can only be a temporary solution. If you want to completely eliminate the problem, you have to make fundamental changes.
In the future, humans will no longer be limited to genes, appearance, lifespan... Only then can human civilization be said to have truly turned over history and stepped over the great shoulders of the Transcendent Era.
